The biggest difference to me is: Gow is amazingly FAST!

I have used MinGW and it is extremly slow, I need to always remind myself to use dir instead of ls, otherwise it's a few seconds' wait.

However, I do not think Gow is able to compile. (I did not really look into the documentation as github is blocked in my office.)

Another difference is MinGW appears to provide more up-to-date binary. e.g. bash in MinGW is 3.1 and in Gow is 2.03. And vim in Gow is 6.3 only.
Anyone know how to toggle a single-page/print view for this?
I just corrected the grammar for illustration. I didn't have any problem understanding it.

Pluralizing with an apostrophe or not using quotation marks are even common with people who have English as a first language, and are signs of discomfort or lack of practice with English writing, which could be the result of dyslexia, English as an eighth language, or any other reason. Could even be stupidity, but when the ideas are coherent, to jump to that just seems to be a way to feel superior to someone.

Seemed like an intelligent enough comment to me, even though I would extend it to the reading comprehension that the author of the subject of this thread must lack to fail a 10th grade reading test with 62%, then further extend it to become a belligerent attack on management in general. The school boards in America are still debating evolution every single year. I add, of course, that school boards have nothing to do with teacher's unions, and break them more often than they support them.

I wish you luck in your struggle.
Only One-Third of Companies Making Effective Use of Data
I'm currently in an AP Statistics class (the only statistics class my school offers--and I didn't take it by choice). There's still plenty of "Why does this matter?" in the classroom, and the sad part is, my teacher doesn't know the answer.

She's one of the worst teachers I've ever had, and it's a shame. She definitely does know what she's doing, but she has absolutely no ability to pass that knowledge on effectively. In some ways it's no different than the argument this article makes about more "traditional" high school math classes--except for the great abundance of story problems, with which most students have very little prior experience.

Kindle Fire Suffers From Poor Usability
This is pretty cool.

A few interesting observations:

1. Metallica seems to have realized themselves that St Anger wasn't something they wanted to play after that tour. The Load album seems to have been similarly dropped pretty hard.

2. It appears they never even tried playing the majority of Reload live. This is interesting to me as a musician, because I'd have thought that Metallica would be the type of band to try a lot of their songs live before recording them, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

3. Very shocked that they never played Unforgiven II live, since it was a single and everything.

4. I really liked the Audience vs Band chart.

It's not that they 'don't understand' it is that they don't WANT to be (seen as) a dumb pipe. Funnily, they quite like charging ~10c for a text message that costs ~0.0001c in data, etc. Price only competition isn't attractive. It's about time we got a proper wireless ISP!

~* not accurate. and i know text message transfer works in a different way but it is not relevant.
Clearly they do, because they were smart enough to know that Load and everything from there until Death Magnetic should be looked at separately, since it sucked. But yes, I need to see a Tool version of this immediately.
if that were the case, why would they then say:

"Let’s keep this quite for as long as we can."

also,

> they take a loss for licensing up front

doesn't seem like the correct interpretation, because they say

"we are achieving all this growth without paying a dime to any of the labels"
> Apple would make an Apple TV "3.0" that fits into that dock.

I would love it if they did this, but it doesn't sound like The Apple Way. I think they really do want you to replace your whole TV set every couple years. Or, they'll pack enough features and performance into the starting model that it will last 3-5 years before becoming obsolete.
IIRC, you can use OpenSL (which is somewhat like OpenAL) on Android, and that "should" provide you with a lower latency audio feed, but you're right that it isn't anywhere as nice as specifying your PCM format of choice and passing in your block reference to the audio component like you get on iOS.

Motoblur sucks, sure. Not all Android devices are the same. Blur is trash, almost as bad as Sense.

I already addressed the back button. I still have yet to understand how it's a nightmare. It's predictable. It's a stack. done.

Yes, locked bootloaders are ridiculous. None of my half-a-dozen Android phones have ever had locked boot loaders.

Yes, apps can make notifications. Remove the app, install another to block the adpush service. That's a result of freedom.

The Android browser is much better in ICS, again, the jittering you're describing is blur. Not all Android devices are made the same.

The SD card is also infuriating, but again, that's the beauty of Android. There is an API that, if devs used properly, places all files in a subdir of the memory card. Unfortunately, unless you want crippled, walled off apps ala iOS, there's no other way to do it.

No idea what Motorola Tools are. You really ought to try a Nexus device man.

>When it comes to games it's total chaos. You have no way of really knowing if the game is going to work correctly or not on your phone. The Droid X isn't all that old yet most games seem to lag on it. It ranges from annoying to unplayable.

What? I've never had a game not play on my Fascinate and it's older than the DX.

You say "chaos". I say freedom and choice. It's not hard to avoid the problems you're complaining about (save for the SD card, which I argue is hard-to-impossible to fix properly without just limiting functionality).
The only problem with this, is that it requires everyone to trust a single third party with the authentication. Since the input space that you type in is small, any one-way encryption is easily reversible. This means for every site that the code is good for, you would need to reveal a means to generate the code, rendering it the password problem all over again.

Alternatively, the key-fob could have an arrow to select which site to show the key for, but that would be cumbersome. Personally, I think that a solution similar to the ssh one would be best in that you have some sort of pass phrase that you type into your browser, and it unlocks a private key that can prove your credentials on web sites.

I guess if you invent a few data figures and then do math on them, you can get an aggregate of your own opinion. It's like the Drake equation, except at least with the Drake equation there are some terms we actually know.

Every dollar you pay for cryonics is a dollar that you're depriving your actual living children or family members, or it's a dollar you're depriving yourself of in the past modulo time value of money.

> Cryonics is a pretty poor business to be in if you're a charlatan. Where are you getting that vibe from?

It's the perfect business to be in if you're a charlatan! There's no way to tell if you're doing a good job or a bad job, you never have to provide any results (because those happen in the distant and undefined future), and your customers are already dead.

> I'm not going to touch your horrid comment that death is somehow necessary for progress.... Cryophobia is pure evil. It makes people choose death instead of cryonics.

Maybe it is horrid, but is it true? Ah, you don't even bother addressing that. Because as we all know, the most rational response to an argument is to accuse your opponent of "evil". It seems to me that even if you dress it up in science fiction and call it "rationality", religion is still religion.

This is great, but the low contrast between the text and the background makes it very hard to read.

With no evidence I feel that this is something of a trend at the moment; I've recently battled our designers when they have sacrificed readability.

Your definition is good enough, but "synergy" actually comes from Buckminster Fuller who built a philosophical system mostly around the idea in the 1950s through early 1970s. The business community got it from him, largely, from what I heard, by way of a bunch of leftish techies that were associated with him and Black Mountain College in the sixties.

If you think apple are going to go out of their way to avoid obsolescence, especially over an all-in-one, clean experience, you have been watching a very different apple to me over the last 10 years. (and i have an iPod with a flat battery to sell you).

That might be true for some studies, but the generalization is not correct. It depends on what is being studied.
Well, we already know that they can use tools and teach each other (somehow) how to use tools: http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn7475 and they've been trained to follow some pretty complex commands (e.g. make up your own jump and can synchronize it with other dolphins): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQ38sycAITQ

So, we already know they can coordinate, but it's not clear if there's communication ("hey, let's do XYZ") or if they're just very quick at imitation ("Hmm, looks like Akeakamai is going to do XYZ, better do XYZ").
Somewhat related question: Do these fluent interfaces provide any real advantage over named parameters? The wikipedia example of:

Cyclists in this town almost never stop at stop signs. Then again, neither do cars.

I'd agree with you more, but to say cyclists are "almost universally indignant" does a disservice to the (dare I say it) billions of riders who aren't. I'll agree that the indignant cyclists are universally indignant. :-)

This is one of those cases where most people have common ground with most other people. But where they don't, it's quite apparent.

The fact that someone could come along and create a working solution without having to add/change the syntax of CoffeeScript is great.
I'm always agog when an organization changes something beloved like key bindings. Qui bono? Someone who uses them is in the same boat as everyone else, muscle memory-wise. And someone who doesn't shouldn't care. And in either case, there should be enough people with facial hair (or female equivalent) who will block it because toying with user expectations is bad.
For updates and initialization, I wonder the same thing. In a discussion about adding chaining syntax to CoffeeScript, one of the contributors wondered about libraries that handle traversing a structure for you:

foo.update
color: ‘blue’
suffix: ‘singular'
barCollection:
color: ‘green’
suffix: ‘plural’

This is probably far superior for fairly static tree navigation.

Can't speak for the bionic, but on a Kindle if you scroll in a webpage, you will notice a very low framerate. It is far less smooth than on, say, an iPad.

Other lag is also present in the initial part of scrolling. Android takes a bit longer than iOS to respond to your fingers' movements. Its on the order of milliseconds, but it is noticeable if you compare it to an iOS device.

HOKAY. So you can totally do this:

> I'm guessing there's no easy way to replace the definition of the deleteToEndOfParagraph: action with something else...

with DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES and method_exchangeImplementations (and maybe launchd to apply that DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES to everything?).

What you have to do is:

Implement a category message that does what you want (my_deleteToEndOfParagraph:).

Write a function that uses method_exchangeImplementations to replace deleteToEndOfParagraph: with my_deleteToEndOfParagraph:. deleteToEndOfParagraph: probably depends on class (NSTextView, NSTextField, WebView, etc.)

Create a shared library that uses your function as an initialization routine.

Inject that shared library into every app on the system.

As you can see this is very easy. Har har har.
In my own case, looking back, it's definitely because it require some semblance of effort to "get". Pretty much every other subject was intuitively easy and/or boring and/or could be faked at a high level.

Math often isn't intuitively easy (lots of rules to learn!), lots of boring grindwork to get the grade, and can't be faked.

Because it didn't come "automagically" like the other subject (or at least how I knew the other subject could if I had applied myself), I figured I just wasn't good at it. Reinforce this with lots of people who also thought they just weren't good at it and leveraging all that into a pile of excuses, I did famously bad in math in K-12.

In college I decided to start over and finally tackle it, I had to learn how to accept that some subjects are hard, that grindwork has value, and how to actually build competence in something rather than just having it. I figure if I was so smart, I should be able to figure out how to figure out math.

And it worked! I ended up picking up a math degree as a side product of learning how to learn math while getting my C.S. degree. Got great grades up through some reasonably upper-level math courses.

Truth is, I don't think I'll ever really take an interest in math. I haven't really done any looking into it in a decade, and probably couldn't solve and integral to save my life. I still can't get over the notion of not being naturally "good" at it. But I learned tons going through the process and am satisfied that I could learn the subject now even if I've forgotten all the details these days.

I'm pretty convinced after going through it all that most people could eventually learn to handle most of the maths through at least single variable calculus if they can learn how to learn it -- and I think that that process is highly personal and highly specific to the individual, but it's at least doable.

So, it's the "some assembly required" kind of UX.
Cool idea, but I'm going to quibble a bit on the Audience vs. Band Chart. Suppose for simplicity that a band has four songs A, B, C, and D that respectively 40% 20% 20% and 20% of people would prefer to hear at a concert. Now suppose the band can only play one song.

Which song should they play?

I don't think the answer to that question is a random mix of the songs with 40% song A, I think the answer is 100% song A. If you play any of the other songs, you make 20% of the audience happy, if you play A you make 40% happy, it strictly dominates. In other words, I don't think playing the songs at a concert in proportion to their last.fm statistics makes sense since at home listeners have as much time as they want but concert time is a limited resource that should be used on the best songs.

So I would be interested in the rank order of listening stats vs. rank order of concert songs and look for anomalies. Unforgiven (I, II, III?) are probably going to make that list since I've actually heard of that one and I am definitely not a Metallica fan.

As a UW grad, I can tell you that most of the best talent from those universities does not go to RIM, and hasn't for a number of years. Sure they have a few really excellent people, the few who want to sacrifice better opportunities to stay local and don't find Google (who have a Waterloo office) appealing, but the majority of the people in my graduating class who went there aren't engineers I'd want to work with. And very few of the people they hire would make it through the hiring process of top companies like Microsoft, Google, Apple, Facebook, etc.
Everything in the second paragraph is happening in the future. This isn't immediately clear, but it's a common enough writing style. Just pretend they wrote "we will use", "we will pay them", and "they will pay us".

On the other hand, this is simply the flip side of the frequently-heard argument around here that technology is driving people who can't cope out of the ability to hold a job at all, because they become unable to produce value in excess of what they cost. If that is true, then it follows that as the supply of people who can still be productive in the new economy drops, then they must also go up in price.

The point of the OS class isn't to teach you how to CREATE an OS from scratch, but to teach you how an OS WORKS. I've interacted with a lot of CS students, and it boggles the mind how ignorant they are in using a computer. To fully understand how your program works, you should have a general understanding of what's going on behind the scenes. It definitively makes you a better coder. If you understand that a file-system, memory, cpu etc...aren't just black boxes that "just work", you can code around their bottlenecks.

My OS class was one of the most rewarding classes during my undergrad years. Don't think of it as a hurdle. Embrace it.
