Fashion in general. There's little IP protection beyond trademarks (hence why popular brands use their trademarks in their designs, e.g. Louis Vuitton) and everyone shamelessly copies everyone else. It's a fascinating case study: http://arstechnica.com/business/news/2006/11/8283.ars
I really don't get HOW and WHY people want government regulations, the same government that is pushing for SOPA.

Opposing SOPA --> "I don't want corporations regulating the internet."

Supporting net neutrality --> "I don't want corporations regulating the internet."

They are identical positions: "hands off my internet".

Not all laws by the government are "regulation". Is making murder illegal the "regulation of killing", and thus murder "shouldn't be regulated"? No, that's absurd.
I am currently working with a remote designer (another continent) and I am pleased with his pace and work. Considering we have never spoken. We communicate via chatting and email.

If I had the funds, I would be willing to work with him full time.

Depending on proximity, I would try and make sure we meet in person every so often.
The whole "behind the scenes" reads like an advertisement.

Striking excerpts:

> Canvas is an amazingly fast rendering surface, especially in a browser where that API is hardware accelerated (like Internet Explorer 9).

> Internet Explorer 9’s Chakra JavaScript engine pre-compiles the code on a background thread [...] The result is near-native execution speeds. Amazingly, this is something that you just get for free.

> while we can say Internet Explorer 9 users get a great plug-in free experience, Chrome and some Firefox users could have run into an audio problem

> Much of our development was done in Visual Web Developer 2010 (the "express" version is available for free here). This is a really robust web editor with autocompletion for JavaScript and CSS. It’s great that the express version is free.

> in most cases, anything we tested in Internet Explorer 9 “just worked” everywhere else.

> With some guidance from Microsoft, we decided to replace the recursive function with an “unpacked” iterative version of the same code.

> Frankly, we would have never found that without the profiling tools in Internet Explorer 9.

*

The whole performance part is worded to sound like porting from Obj-C to JS is a breeze, JS code is actually cleaner and more straightforward than Obj-C, Canvas offers more features and performs better than OpenGL ES, and so on.

This is not so much an ad for IE9 as an ad targeting developers, showcasing the (present and future) Microsoft development ecosystem as best class.

I was really excited about buying an unlocked iPhone 4S. And then I read this:

The unlocked iPhone will not work with CDMA carriers such as Verizon Wireless or Sprint. [1]

Until an unlocked phone means I can switch between the major US carriers, it doesn't mean anything for me. I don't travel internationally, and when I do I'll hopefully be able to jailbreak and unlock.

Actually CALEA mandates two things: 1. the ability to intercept, 2. that intercepts not be detectable by end users. You can implement the functionality anywhere in your stack that you'd like, including the consumer device.

To be fair, MG does concede that Android as a product has gotten much better in recent years:

"""
So that, ladies and gentleman, is why I hate Android. It has nothing to do with the actual product (which continues to improve every year and is quite good now). It has to do with a promise that was broken and swept under the rug.

This will go into the costs column, and the reasons you use that particular tech. stack will go into benefit column. Weights and values are fairly subjective for each of the rows in the two columns and is very case specific.

What I wanted to point out was that there are a lot of factors to consider while choosing your tech stack, be it for academia, research, startup or enterprise. I disagree with this following statement:

>, and since you (probably) won't be working with an entrenched code base, you are free to use whatever language best suits the task at hand.

Size of the codebase is not the only criterion. (And to be fair to the author of this article, "task at hand" envelopes a lot of the other criteria).

PS: I found a good debate between Ryan Allen[1] and Michael Wales[2] debating the criteria on which to choose PHP or Ruby, a lot of them can be translated to a general tech stack choice. I've submitted it to HN here[3] and direct link here [4].

I thought we were talking about "adding methods" to collection-like things so that they look as if they were built-in. And this was what the article was about: That it gets complex (and impossible) if you want to solve it for the general case.

It wasn't abut type-safety, just about complexity.

The problems in Scala arise, because you have to extort yourself if you want to "add a method" in the privileged position after the dot. You have to to resort to implicit conversions which are a non-composible feature. To fake composibility the author has to wade through huge piles of complexity.

These problems don't arise in Dylan at all, because there is no privileged argument position (the receiver) and you can just define methods for anything without conversions to wrappers or monkey-patching. Namespacing is done via the module system and lexical scope.

A collection-like thing in Dylan is any object where someone has implemented the required methods (first and foremost: forward-iteration-protocol). All those methods can be implemented without having access to the definition of the objects class or type, so things like native arrays (with only .length indexing and value setting as operations, akin to Java arrays) can be made collection-like.

Then you can just define your own methods for collections like filter-map, which will then work for thoose native Arrays.

If you only use the minimal collection protocol:

define method filter-map(coll, pred :: <function>, transform :: <function>)
let <ret-type> = type-for-copy(coll); // analogous to CanBuildFrom
let new-coll :: <ret-type> = make(<ret-type>); // analogous to Builder
let (init, limit, next, end?, key, elt) =
forward-iteration-protocol(coll);
for (state = init then next(coll, state),
until: end?(coll, state, limit))
let e = elt(coll, state);
if(pred(e))
add!(new-coll, e));
end if;
end for;
new-coll;
end method upcase;

If map and choose (filter) are already defined (And yes; they are in terms of the collection protocol):

define method filter-map(coll, pred :: <function>, transform :: <function>)
map(transform, choose(pred, coll));
end method filter-map;

Yes, I don't really like the API-design of forward-iteration-protocol. It works like iterators in Java, but is designed to not need allocation for simple indexable collections like lists and vectors etc.
Will there be a chapter about how your preferred architecture compares to in-memory databases technologies? SAP has been creating a lot of marketing hype on this in the last years. Indeed I think a lot of business problems can be solved by cramming more RAM into centralized servers. Yesterday's big-data problems are now routine if you have a dozens-of gigabytes of RAM machine available.

Or is this question not applicable at all (because the architecture makes no assumptions on the type of data storage); the requirements and usage scenarios are completely different?
So, unlimited data & calls for 19.99 €, with a reduced price of 15.99 € for customers of the broadband plan. And a specially priced 2 €/month plan (60min calls / 60sms.)
Well actuallly I did not sand it down at all, and it is perfectly fine, but I guess that depends a lot on the quality of the pallets you can find. It can't hurt to sand it down some anyway...

That's probably it for some features but it still sounds like "You have to use IE5 or higher to see this site" to me.

Also, some features have been blocked for a long time for no apparent reason, for example background image on search. It worked from the day one (when you changed the user-agent), there is nothing scientific about it, yet it is still blocked years later.
You're better off getting some rather new ones anyway. Shipping pallets are rarely loaded with dirty things though... and more often than not the load is completely enclosed in cling wrap

Even better, it appears that Free will propose actual internet connexions with their data plan. Quoting http://www.forfaitfree.com/ (translated from French):

I just hope they do mean to give you a public IP (I'd be content with a /64v6, and delighted if it was a static one.)
I cant comment on the specific case for your startup but given the wide adoption of PHP/Java/Ruby/Python compared to Haskell/Scala, it comes to a simple eq.

No. of programmers for the former > No. of programmers for the latter

But as someone in the thread already pointed out, definition of 'good' programmer is also subjective and different in each of the languages, so that will fuzz the simplicity of the above equation.

PS: I'm very impressed with tech community in Pune in general. Very vibrant, diverse and passionate.
"Google made a lot of compromises but I believe the original vision will still be achieved which is to bring computing to the masses."

Isn't Google's vision to bring ads to the masses? Getting everyone to use smartphones is a way to accomplish that. Android Market has the highest proportion of ad-supported apps (70%) of all the major platforms, and most of the ads are served by Google.

The architecture described in the book is fully distributed and horizontally scalable, and I won't be looking at scale-up techniques. The chapters on Storm and distributed RPC does have an emphasis on using lots of RAM for certain tasks though by partitioning data appropriately across the nodes.

I'd be very careful to jump on the 'unlimited calls' bandwagon. Voip is especially sensitive to fraud, it happens all the time to practically every voip provider that I know of. That's also why 'unlimited' in marketing is often counterbalanced with fair-use and/or minutes cap in small print.

Verizon / Sprint use a completely different cellular technology than AT&T and T-Mobile. (Most acronyms have been intentionally left out for simplification)

There are two distinct hardware versions of the iPhone 4S (and other phones like the Samsung Galaxy S 2) that need to work with the different sets of carriers.

The situation will kinda/sorta be fixed with the next generation of technology, because most of the major carriers are adopting LTE, but there will still be issues with global roaming.

"Even though banks, train tickets, and anything requiring an ID (for instance, internet cafes) can be a complete bureaucratic nightmare, day to day life has a certain peacefulness to it. Perhaps that peacefulness stems from the acceptance that the world around you is hectic and chaotic"

Yes! That's my experience as well. I lived in Hong Kong as well, where you can experience Chinese culture in an international city, eat whatever cuisine you want, and enjoy a very convenient lifestyle. High-class shopping centres, fun nightlife, and the MTR runs like a Swiss watch.

Still, I didn't like it as much as Chengdu, which is sprawling, polluted and a nightmare to get around. But living there was strangely relaxed and adventurous - anything can happen, so you don't try to fight it.
"Well, we got a string instead of an integer and yada yada yada, our network almost collapsed."
