Yeah, it is so buggy. I used to love having a three monitor setup in Windows, where during the day I would work on two monitors, then at night I would switch to my third monitor for watching videos and things on.

It's impossible to do this in Ubuntu without physicall pulling out cables.

> I'm not trying to refute your maths

this is hallucinatory deference to a notion that shouldn't have started to exist in the first place. It's a thinko. Like a typo, only worse. Are you refuting his axioms? Communitivity? No, you're arguing with not even his arithmetic, you're arguing with the choices of inputs to an accepted logic. In no sense of the general concept, are you arguing with his mathematics.

This maths thing is a British thinko from the early 20th century that needs to go. http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/maths?q=maths

You might want to read this review from one of buyers:

"This isn't really the place for this comment but I have to say it...Haven't read the book yet but I thought I would check it out as I could borrow it free with my Amazon Prime account (first time borrowing a book). It listed as $0.00. I "purchased" it and it appears that I was charged $9.99. Not the end of the world but the Amazon user experience is still the worst out there. How can you tell me it's $0.00 then charge me $9.99? With further investigation i found there should be a borrow it now link. I went back to the page and looked everywhere for that link and couldn't find it. I also can't find a way to remedy this problem. Guess I'll be more cautious when using Amazon Prime in the future. I come back and give the book a rating after reading... giving the author the benefit of the doubt for the moment and putting in a 4 star ratting. They shouldn't be punished for Amazon's shortfall."

I love this guy's attitude, BTW. Lost $10, keeps calm, rates book 4/5.

" In his post, the caller passes itself as an argument (using a suitable interface type, of course), and the callee responds by invoking either a “found” or “not found” method on the caller."

Isn't this pretty much what you do in Twisted already?
It's pretty much the same here in the UK, carriers tend to dictate conditions which the manufacturers must adhere to, except for Apple of course.
A good writeup. A pity more of the source wasn't released (say, excluding the game physics and logic); I'd be keen to see how they structured their code and it'd be a great "cookbook" reference for somebody new to building HTML5 games. (At least the minified source is there.)

I'm don't think anyone is arguing this fact. Android, generally, isn't 'open' in the sense that it is totally controlled by the carriers.

Why Object-Oriented Languages Need Tail Calls
It looks like only smartphone division will be sold to MS. Here is why I think so:

1) Nokia supplied material how to transition from Qt to WP7 programming environment. Qt is main dev. environment for Nokia Smartphones (other tools can be used but it is painful to use them). I have not seen anything similar for feature phone developers.

2) Nokia's smartphones OSes do not have future within Nokia. Symbian is handed over to Accenture (http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/22/nokia-and-accenture-seal-...) and will be supported till 2016 (if I remember correctly). MeeGo will be supported less than one year - really good OS, working Linux on phone. Basically Nokia have factories and people who will work only for Microsoft anyway.

3) Nokia is heavily investing in feature phones. E.g.: SmarterPhone aquisition, Qt plans for feature phones, Meltemi, javascript based developement tools/environment for feature phones and most probably more I have not seen.

So basically it looks like Nokia will handle over to Microsoft factories, people who has experience with smartphones (hardware part only?), maybe some patents (actually Nokia and Microsoft already have deals in this area and most probably nothing will change here). I'm not sure about sales network Nokia has - that's something Microsoft might use instead of creating its own.

In Ireland you can buy unlocked, or get a discounted locked phone with a contract. However, after your initial contract runs out the carrier legally must unlock the phone. In practice, getting them to unlock the phone is a bit like getting the direct debit on your gym membership cancelled, but you get the idea.
Maybe because "ie" also stands for Internet Explorer? I'm just guessing, I was wondering the same thing.

Declarative vs Procedural Specs for Mastermind
Not living to (say) 150 is humanity's greatest problem?? And you're serious??

Ever stop to think of world hunger? Malnutrition still is the global leading cause of mortality in the world. And you're arguing to crowdsource a solution to aging which is supposedly "humanity's greatest problem" because us first-worlders can't live to 150, because having their genes fortified (or whatever) most certainly is not going to do much good for those that simply can't get enough nutrients.

This is only a problem to that tiny privileged part of humanity that has no worries whatsoever about the two lowest levels of the Hierarchy of Needs. And you must be well aware which side of the fence you're on, how many there are suffering on the other side, and you have the gall to pose THIS as humanity's greatest problem?

No. I don't easily use a "but the starving kids in Africa have it so much worse" argument, except in this case it's directly relevant.

And don't get me wrong, I'm not against longevity research, cancer research or any kind of medical advances but at least they don't fucking claim they're solving a greater problem than fucking World Hunger.

"The video's claim is that we get bored because we have very specialized work. And it contrasts with the wonderful life we had 300 years ago when we lived in tiny communities doing non-specialized work."

Isn't this Marx's 'alienation' argument pro-Communism? I forget - how did that work out for them?

I also think 300 years ago sounds crap from what I have heard, and my specialised job is kinda fun.

There was an assumption at the end of that good article that the "music industry" (whatever that broad term means) is trying to save a dying business model.

Actually, music intermediaries such as music publishers and distributors are trying to save their business model, and because the internet disintermediates them, destroying the internet is the logical way to go about it.

The business of making and listening to music is continuing along just fine.
I don't understand the comments here. Has anybody actually watched all the videos.
I think we're using different definitions of "control fully." In my view, in order to control the encryption process fully, you must control the device doing the encryption. If you're using an OS with a keylogger, you DON'T have "end-to-end encryption that you control fully" because you don't control one of the ends.

If you fully controlled both ends, the security of the wire would be irrelevant. It could send copies of every message you send straight to your enemy's inbox and it would still be secure, because only the two fully controlled ends could decrypt the messages they send one another.

If you don't control the device, you don't control the encryption.

I got my first taste from this mindset two days ago: An undergrad from Wharton sends me a Facebook PM saying he loves my startup, wants to work for me.

We go on a Skype call where he keeps on boasting on how he is "special even among Wharton people" and how he can "help me get millions in funding".

I tell him I don't need funding and that he can help me do biz dev and he'll get a generous commission, than he says he needs "co-founder" status for that. End of call.
Yes. Thanks to Free. They created the box (internet + tv), the price point, unlimited landline calls.
The important thing here is not that passing onOK and onError callbacks is a good idea. The real issue is that NULL pointers are the most dangerous thing invented in the 20th century and should be avoided like the plague.

From an [expression problem](http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ExpressionProblem) point of view using a discriminated union (in the same spirit as returning null but safer, since you can you peek at the value after doing a null check) would probably be just fine anyway. You still get to avoid the danger of NULL pointers but you still get a real value to work with (unlike the callback case that allways immediately splits it) so you can store it, pass it around, etc.

By the way, astute readers might have recognized all that callback passing as just the [visitor pattern](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visitor_pattern) in disguise.

Mostly, I'd never stop learning, and I'd apply everything I learned.

Consider the sum total of human knowledge today. Consider how small a fraction of it any one person knows.

Within the next month, I'll have completed a PhD in computer science. It took me years to learn the fundamentals of one field, plus years more to get practical experience by tinkering in numerous areas, plus years more to become an expert in one narrow area (scalable concurrent data structures) and advance the state of the art in that area. Take a look at http://matt.might.net/articles/phd-school-in-pictures/ to get a clearer picture of scale; now consider what a few million or billion lifetimes could produce, between research, practical work, exploration, and just good old-fashioned tinkering.

How many of those narrow areas exist in one field alone? How many more fields exist to explore? How many more will exist by that point? What happens when someone with expert-level knowledge in a pile of those fields starts applying them to each other? And most importantly, do you really think it ever stops?

Apart from that, I'd have plenty of time between learning everything and creating new things to enjoy the enormous amount of available entertainment created over the aeons, in all its various forms.

I think the future sounds awesome, and I want to see all of it. :)
Nice summary of the present education system in many places and why it needs a change. This is exactly the situation in many schools/colleges, they have turned it into a business. Students are not given much scope to expand their knowledge, they are seen as just scoring machines.
I am going a bit tangential - some colleges even employ their previous batch passed outs who couldn't get into industry due to poor performance as teachers, the reasons are obvious. Certainly we need a change.
the difference is that twisted uses trampolining - there's a top level scheduler that manages everything. if twisted worked exactly as described in this article then you'd run out of stack space (python doesn't eliminate tail calls) (also, of course, the trampoline allows other work to happen while processes yield, which is what makes twisted useful).

from another pov: this article describes how the designers of twisted want you to think (ie continuation passing style), but the actual implementation is slightly different.

Fun and interesting read. Personally though I think by only examining mortality rates then half the story has been missed. ie. life expectancy.

While intuitively we can see that the probability of dying in any given year increases with the more years you live, perhaps slightly more counter intuitively the longer you live then the longer your life expectancy is (rolling average obviously).

Would love to see the two put together somehow and charted.
Be careful with that, if the tax authorities find out it can be construed as avoiding taxes (it's pretty complicated, but usually they'll find you in violation of at least one tax law as it's almost impossible not to).

Starting a business in Latin America is tough. There are huge incentives for tax evasion (and even when not, you might be evading unknowingly).

This is worse than pointless. For one, nobody is going to do it. So if this action results in anything it's going to be that 0.00003% of Twitter users are against SOPA.

But beyond that, this protest is based on the flawed assumption that your legislative representatives give a shit. That they are actually crafting legislation for you. They are not. They are trying to please the people that pay their campaign costs. There is not a single representative voting for SOPA that thinks their constituency is interested in an Internet-wide ban hammer.
I would take some action, whether it's delving into something, or at least doing some research, even if you have no clear idea what it is you like. Taking some action to me gives me hope. Waiting around and doing nothing is a recipe for depression.
I work remotely and I'm in GotoMeeting all day. My other coworkers are on there too. All day. As far as I'm concerned, it feels like we're all working in the same office.

Well, there are books, movies, TV shows, there is art and music and languages... and you haven't even touched on seriously studying different sciences up to a respectable level. I think it would benefit humanity a lot if people could have a much longer lifespan during which they can actually do things.

Think of all the time you could spend learning... also, think of all the time spent learning and experiences and eventually wisdom accumulated in even just one human being by the time they are 60, 70.... only to have it practically all lost forever once you die?

Also, wouldn't you just love to be alive only to see what the future will actually look like? it has been quite some time now since the last real paradigm-shift and real heavy impact innovation that changes our lives forever. I would love to see what is coming.
'cronyism', I personally worked with jnoller (at a company) a few years ago.

Something that I have seen persisting and increasing from then until now is his passion for evangelizing Python as a valuable, open-source tool.

The personal 'profit' that I have seen him earning is simply this: a well-deserved positive reputation as a guy who invests great amounts of his own time and energy to benefit the Python language and community.

If you're going to say something specific, then say it. If you're going to make baseless accusations about people who volunteer, take it elsewhere.

The sad this is, that this whole specification is centered about the classical stacked window management paradigm and the assumption, that one window can be placed at only one screen at a time.

They never really solved the 'alienation' problem. Nothing changed about people's jobs, they were just working in the factory for 'The Good of the People' rather than 'Faceless MegaCorp'.

Where I work (medium-sized mail-order clothing company) almost all roles would be better if they were balanced job complexes[1]. People packing orders would benefit from dealing with customers directly, customer services would benefit from actually shipping orders, designers would benefit from seeing feedback from customers directly, etc. Giving people a larger view of the business would benefit the company and those employees (most efficiency/service breakthroughs have come someone changing teams).
