Strange, I've never found Spotlight to be that slow or frustrating. I just tried it again to be sure I wasn't kidding myself, and find that I type about 3 keys, and then there's the app I want by the time I'm finished pressing the 3rd key.
I see I'm losing points by not taking seriously this survey with a handful of respondents. Well, so be it. People haven't changed. We've all been raised reading black text on a white background.

"Everyone" didn't know any such thing about amber text, it was just a less bad choice given the technology of the day. It was cheaper to manufacture a display that produced bright text on a black background - fewer pixels to light. Green text was very popular in dumb terminal days. Didn't make it readable (or unreadable). It was just a step in the inevitable transition to more book-like displays. If you enjoy reading light text on dark backgrounds, go back a few years and peruse the mostly unreadable issues of Wired Magazine.

>Professor Peter Johnson, Cancer Research UK's chief clinician, put the improvement down to "faster diagnosis, better surgery, more effective radiotherapy and many new drugs".

Notice how new drugs are given the least emphasis of the four factors listed. Plus, one of the biggest reasons so many people are getting cancer is the flawed nutritional advice of the medical establishment.

Anyway, clearly there has been some progress, but we would be in a whole other place if the vast majority of the research dollars hadn't been completely wasted. Not to mention all the potential cancer cures that have been made illegal, meaning that it's not even clear the impact of the new drugs is making up for how the medical establishment is screwing us all to begin with.

700,000 Android devices activated each day
Andy Rubin: "There are now over 700,000 Android devices activated every day."

"...and for those wondering, we count each device only once (ie, we don't count re-sold devices), and "activations" means you go into a store, buy a device, put it on the network by subscribing to a wireless service."
Sorry to be that guy, but that's a lousy business plan. A solution in search of problem. In other words, who would be your target user? Fleshed out - it's a guy/girl that... works where, does what? And most importantly - how many of them are out there, and how exactly do you get them to learn and get excited about your paid service?

Man, I don't get a "developer color picker" that doesn't have a giant box with the hex color init. Fortunately, there's hex picker: http://wafflesoftware.net/hexpicker/.

Also, here's a script I use that turns color picker into an app: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=2006040805092015.... (But only sort of, it's still one of those weird windows OS X has that you can't close the normal way.)
Priority #1 is to remain genuine. That's what you stand for.

Restaurants might actually be more open to offering coupons to travellers - in a sense, those customers are not repeat business, so they shouldn't be worried about impacting their long term pricing with the local market.

Ultimately, I think you need to focus first on building enough value here with consumers - I don't like to suggest making things free, but in this case I think it's something you have to give away and monetize in other ways. There's nothing bad about that approach (Google does it), but it does require a higher volume of users for it to make sense.

Good luck!
This is very accurate.

Back in the 90's, everybody wants app with DB capability. Thus MS Access fills the need. It's cute and perhaps less barrier to enter by non-technical people.

Fast forward to 2010, everybody wants an agile web-app that integrate nicely with BI, Access, Excel, Word, with version control and what not, with CMS capability, with alerts, RSS reader, portal like capability... here comes Sharepoint.

Opera has had this feature forever, since around 2001. Long enough ago that it shipped with search keys for Altavista and Lycos along with Google. The feature was a primary reason I started using Opera in the first place.

I wonder what number of distinct users is. Once you go Android, you tend to stay there. Between my wife and me, for example, we have had 6 Android phones (1 HTC Hero, 2 HTC Evo 4Gs, 3 HTC Amaze 4Gs), and 5th Android tablet (2 Samsung Galaxy Tabs, 1 Asus Transformer, 1 Acer Iconia, and 1 T-Mobile G-Slate). I'm sure each activation was recorded, but there isn't really a way to deactivate a device. Even a factory reset appears to be restricted to the phone, and doesn't register anything with the carrier/Google.

I accidentally discovered eddy currents not too long ago, while mindlessly playing with a copper CPU heatsink and an HDD magnet (geeky, right?) I expected copper to be ferromagnetic, but was surprised when I felt this dragging force that neither repulsed nor attracted the magnet. Curious about this discovery, it took me a few minutes of googling to eventually learn about eddy currents... I am surprised I never learned about them at school.

ArtFork - Art community for art people who love art
I'm the type of person who comes up with ideas, starts them and then stops at random points to never work on them again.

This site was about to fall into that same trap, but I decided to force myself to finish it and this weekend we soft launched ArtFork.

In a nutshell, it's a community for people to share art they've done and/or found.

If you want to give it a look, you can use the code GETFORKED to kick the tires a bit.

NERD BITS

- It's built in Codeigniter.
- Uses Amazon S3 for serving up the images
- Bootstrap was used as a base and (kind of) styled up. This was changed to foundation after
we released a second design
- Used animate.css (Made by Dan Eden)
- This is the first project I've worked on that uses git to deploy to a production server.
I've always been an old-school FTP guy, but forced myself to have 2 environments.
Love it (so far).

The high cost of frivolous legal defense is a completely separate issue. It should not be the basis for denying the right to sue. If someone is injured skydiving, it should up to a court to decide if that was a reasonable expectation or if there was negligence on the part of the business. The court shouldn't need to take months and tens of thousands of dollars to make such a determination.

Unfortunately, clang (and the shared llvm backend) are still fairly buggy. For example: http://blog.clickablebliss.com/2011/11/07/xcode-4-2-llvm-bui...

There's a bug in Xcode 4.2 (the latest stable release) that results in broken armv6 thumb FPU-related codegen. It's not hard to hit, either.

Since everything is based on LLVM now (including gcc-llvm), there's no way around this one (or other bugs) other than simply disabling thumb.

I'd personally rather stick to gcc4 for at least the next few clang/llvm release cycles, since the bugs are known. Unfortunately, straight GCC is no longer supported in Xcode.

An idea I'm going to start doing now that I have savings and an inclination to share my fortune:

1. Donate to a local food bank / soup kitchen / church, etc which serves the homeless.

2. Hand out cards to beggars with the street address of the locations you've donated to, and tell them you already bought them a meal.

Elsewhere in the thread, potatolicious points out that mental illness (anecdotally) is a big factor in homelessness. I am fortunate enough to not have any visible or debilitating illnesses and I had some great advantages in life (globally-speaking).

It's tough walking a fine line between condescension and genuine sympathy. But that's kind of a first world problem, isn't it?
Andy Rubin: "...and for those wondering, we count each device only once (ie, we don't count re-sold devices), and "activations" means you go into a store, buy a device, put it on the network by subscribing to a wireless service."

The standard test for causality (at least in biology, where I work) is to test for rescue. You first establish that under conditions a, event b happens. You then reverse a, and observe b returning to normal. This, followed by controls demonstrating that you're only changing a and are actually measuring b serve as a stringent test for causation.

No-permission Android App Gives Remote Shell
Science isn't failing us. Big bureaucracies getting in the way of science are failing us. Even just to experiment with semi-controlled drugs, for example, is a massive headache and ungodly expensive. Everybody wants to get into journals and paid by government institutes, so a lot of science being done is very safe and not venturing out to the controversial as much. Studies are being funded by corporations looking to get some cooked data to support their bullshit.

Science has never failed us, as science is inherently just human curiosity. The continuing structural growth and big bureaucratic developments that many governments, schools, and businesses are implementing are failing us.

Science can't fail. It only illuminates. But a lot of shady assholes run this place, and the last thing they want is a light shone on them.

No, you're onto something here. Modern medicine is not all powerful. It does some things very well, and we live much longer because of it, but there is still so much we do not understand. I'm thankful that there are those that put the time and money into this research that furthers our comprehension.

However, there are plenty of conditions you can develop where modern medicine is only able to contain the symptoms, rather than fix the problem causing them. Autoimmune conditions (such as MS) come to mind here.

Because the article was about pharmacology and I said pharmacology in my post.
But we can already get energy directly from water mills and engines, and I doubt the magnet-pipe system would be as efficient.
> Plus, why would a restaurant offer a coupon to a traveler (at least a coupon of value)?

Because it brings in business. I see restaurants advertising for tourists all the time. Look in any in-flight magazine or any of the free guidebooks that are given away in tourist areas. They're full of ads and coupons for tours, restaurants, museums and attractions. That's a business model worth investigating.

The downside is it's a real boots-on-the-ground business that requires a heavy investment in sales effort to make it work. The upside is that once you sign up a customer (assuming they have a positive experience) it is highly likely they will repeat. You could start with just one city and if it works grow it from there.

Good luck to you!

In the sense that your parsing strategy influences your I/O strategy and, in particular, may incur extra copies, I buy this.

The idea that Amazon has cycle-optimized network parsing code, and that they did it for a significant practical benefit... I have no reason to doubt you, but I'd like to hear more.

I've done a fair bit of high performance network code (not for Amazon or Google, but, for instance, for code watching most of the Internet's tier-1 backbone networks on a flow-by-flow basis) and I'm not sure I could have won much by counting the cycles it took me to pull (say) an NBO integer out of a packet.

This stuff always makes me think about:

I sympathize with the author's experience, but all programmers are absolutely not self-taught. There are all sorts of ways to learn programming that don't involve homework assignments or even college classes; pair programming and mentorship with a skilled craftsperson comes to mind as one perfectly nice alternative.

Besides, even after college I learned a tremendous amount about programming from my colleagues and peers over the years; programming isn't one of those things you learn, and then you're done learning it. It sounds like in this case, college didn't adequately cover the basics, and the author decided (to their credit!) to drive their own learning; but I promise there's a great big crowd of helpful peers and teachers out there when you're ready for them.

4. If you're one of tens of thousands of merchant account providers, payment processors and advertising networks that will have to manage the infrastructure to suspend or terminate customers whose website is accused of primarily enabling copyright infringement.

Plus, all these companies are going to end up involved in lawsuits with one or more clients over the constitutionality of being forced to breach contracts without any due process.
There are two classes of programmers: the taught and the self-propelled. You can certainly teach someone to program--what they do after that defines the rest of their career. No CS curriculum will give all the information one needs to be a great programmer, but it's certainly possible to have a long and mediocre career as a taught programmer.

I would wager a majority of the best programmers are also self-taught, though. Not because College is a bad experience or sets you up for failure, but because it's really internal motivation and curiosity that makes a programmer grow, not something they learned in a CS course once upon a time. And you've got to be pretty damn curious to make a career of programming without any formal introduction or education.

This is odd, for me there is no lag on Lion when I hold down the backspace key. And what do you mean by stream redirection? That usually means this:

Might you be confusing iterm2 with iterm? Iterm2 is a completely separate piece of software than iterm, it's not the second version of the same one.
I can't argue with that. To be more precise than my original post, Google may not be the best example here, since it implicitly sorts based on the vague notion of relevance, which is where the magic lives.

After experiments on many other places, I'd suggest that best place to find developers (the kind our startup wants, anyway) is this site. On the 1st of the month, a bot named whoishiring (http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=whoishiring) posts "who is hiring?" and "looking for freelancers" posts in which I put my companies (http://feefighters.com) needs.

Posting on there has led to many good candidates for us. Also check out angelist jobs if you haven't. Both of these methods are free and have led to good candidates for us.
The idiomatic way you'd express a generic tailq in C with functions is with void-stars, which cost 4-8 bytes and incur the costs of indirecting through another memory address and, probably, of allocating lots of fiddly little structs at random times.

The macro version expresses the same generalized logic but embeds the link pointers in the structure you're queueing.
To be fair, though, the Python core team envisioned a five-year transition plan and we are starting to see major frameworks make the switch. Django, for example, recently announced full Python 3 compatibility in their nightly builds.
