The thing is, this just doesn't matter. They still have a Chrome ad at the top of every page and if people are looking to find Chrome it's already simple. The outgoing links don't matter, because the sites the Chrome page links to are also easy to find.
One big reason Android is it's easier to modify such as rooting it, Apple can be jailbroken but I'm not sure about Windows phone.

Oh you're right, it'd need to take a param with the setup form(s) and somehow look up the corresponding cleanup form(s), sort of like getter and setter code registered with setf.
That's why I set my vim shortcuts to keyboard positions and not letters. I switch between keyboard layouts a bit but I am using Colemak again. Keeping shortcuts the same across layouts is very important because they are usually muscle memory not some combination where you are thinking about pressing keys. Also, keep the drivers on your phone/USB so you can install them everywhere.
Great point. I'm about to pay some bloggers to link to google.com and have them add "This post was sponsored by Google". Think they'll ban themselves?

Self Storage Tips from Movers Directory - Moving Companies, Movers, and Guides
Movers Directory self storage tips. The following pieces of advice may help you to make most of the storage.
The most important skill entrepreneurs should learn isn’t programming.
In languages in which you can count on the timely cleanup of objects this can be done with the destructor. In C++, for instance, file handles are typically closed when the file object goes out of scope. Moreover, if an object has a file as a member variable, the object's default destructor will dispose of the file.

IIRC:

{
ifstream file("text.txt");
copy(istream_iterator<string>(file), istream_iterator<string>(),
ostream_iterator<string>(cout, "\n"));
}//file automatically closed here

and

class ThingWithFile {
ifstream file;
public:
ThingWithFile(const char *filename) : file(filename) {}
};
void func() {
ThingWithFile thing("file.name"); //file is opened
} //file is closed
Utter chaos, unless Google's anti-spam team is made up of humans, who could see through it.

Clojure has with-open, to the same effect. I don't think Scala has one natively but the Odersky book covers how to make one using a by-name parameter and an anonymous class.

Here in Denmark Google doesn't advertise their browser. However Microsoft does. So a search for "browser" returns an ad for IE, wikipedia as the top result, and then Firefox, Opera and Safari without Google Chrome anywhere on the first search page. So it definitely has changed in practical terms.
I always know when my posts will be downvoted, and I don't understand why anyone else would have trouble identifying the same. The community here has its norms of behavior. When you violate one of them, expect to get the karma smacked out of you.
This reminds me of my friend's project for a recent hackathon where he implemented a language that guaranteed every function in it was reversible. It would let you do something like this for any function.

Unfortunately, I don't think he found it particularly useful and gave up on it after the hackathon. Still, it was a cool project.
How Flipkart broke India's online shopping inertia
IIRC, we use this Idiom in SICP while doing symbolic algebra.

For instance, when we have x+y=z and know only x and z, we need to reverse the equation to have y=z-x. The system was built on nodes which would propagate change (a-la events).

IMO, python's with statement with __enter__ and __exit__ looks mostly like this.
60% of my interactions are with ESL or ETL engineers. Would of, could of, should of, on accident, and the like, are hallmarks of a generation holding the less well read attitude that grammar doesn't matter. The ESLs I work with thank one for a correction, incorporate it, and move on. Bad grammar is a bug. We all make them, reading clean code reduces them, and peer review helps too.
I just wish PayPal supports SOPA so that we can make a GoDaddy out of them.
I'm surprised the dispute got this far. Normal SOP on paypal goes like this.

1. Buyer pays for expensive item with credit card through paypal.

2. Buyer receives shipping confirmation.

3. Buyer disputes credit card transaction.

4. Paypal customer service says "LOL, should have sold it locally. We don't recommend using our service for items like this."

5. Buyer enjoys free $2500 violin.
A good point. MS is trying to play by Apple's rules (or pretty close), but you never win that way. This should be a lesson to the people who claim that HP/RIM/etc. would be successful if only they'd copy Apple's playbook.
Exactly. A "one-size fits all" model isn't going to work in the fragmented music market. Pop artists & their labels already know how to make money selling music, this model is more in tune to the less-than-mainstream.

This post has been downvoted because it is not relevant to the discussion started by the OP. Instead it addresses a minor detail found within that OP. Also, because it is so long and also discusses your relationship to the HN site moderators, it is very much off-topic.

This comes up as a hypothetical risk whenever stories like this break, but I know of no cases where it happens. That includes situations where individual link-buyers and link-buying sites have been publicly outed by commentators or competitors.

The economics of this only work out well if you have high marketshare (if you're 5% of the market, and you blow up a competitor, 95% of the benefit accrues to the other 95% of the market). So I think this threat is overblown.

Every time it comes up, I've asked for examples--if you hear of any after the fact, I would greatly appreciate it if you'd get in touch. Email's in the profile.
Until the appeal, I believe.
Talking about what journals you have published in and why is way off topic in this thread. Not surprisingly, it got you downvoted.
> In other words: unscrupulous hardware vendors save money by ignoring their GPL obligations.

I doubt that very much. It doesn't take any significant amount of money to comply with the GPL. Close to none, for a company that is shipping an actual product that uses this kind of code.

> Google makes money off other people's violation of the GPL.

Not really. Those companies could comply, and Google would still make the same amount of money. It doesn't matter to Google if they comply or not comply, monetarily or otherwise.

Thanks. It's not clear to me from the post that it's using TLS but that would make sense. Though if requiring TLS I wonder why not just use basic auth since it's simpler and since TLS would protect the password.

One of the things that's neat about, say, OAuth's MAC authentication, is that it works over plain old HTTP without TLS. Likewise for the AWS API's signature-based security scheme. Sounds like I erroneously assumed that this was aiming to do similarly.
Why would you buy links when you could just setup a link farm?

50 or 60 domains all hosted on a cheap shared hosting account running some lame PHP link farm script from a few years ago should do well. Just make sure the domain reggie doesn't point back at you.

You only buy links so that it appears like you've got an organic link farm instead of a mass produced one. Remember only Google is allowed to sell links, cuz they put them in a slightly yellow box or something. If other people could get you to the front page of google it would undermine Google's business model.

What RAII and Ruby's block statement lack here are automatically doing the reversing of functionality.

Few languages have any procedural way to do that.

If Ruby had some way to state "the opposite of opening a file is closing a file" and then use it everywhere, we could do that. The block-syntax open is nearly that, but not quite. You'd need to have no non-block-scope way to use the resource for it to work.

RAII would also give the same benefit, if there were no non-RAII way to declare the resource.
Any chance you'd name the culprit?
The ironies that lie is this ^^ post…

I don't think that downvotes necessarily mean that people didn't get the joke. If I see a witty one-liner comment to a serious story, my normal reaction is "Ha ha ha! Downvote." Or else I ignore it entirely. (And sometimes it simply _isn't_ very funny.)

I just don't think we need to encourage content-free comments here; there are plenty of places to go if you want to make fun of the news.

Then again, I moderate a site that's been accused of taking too hard a line on "fun", so maybe I shouldn't talk.

At this point I kind of wonder if the best chance for success Microsoft has in these sorts of markets is to create one or more aggressive well-funded, startup-scale companies comprised of some bright people they already have and unleash them on the competition.

If they're prepared to dump a few billion on the next Xbox, they could probably get ten or twenty amazingly hot start-ups for the same price.

They're like a fat old bear now. Cranky, slow, but still enormously powerful, just lacking reach.

Being forced to exist in Microsoft's stiflingly bureaucratic organization can't help anyone. The original Xbox team fought to stay independent. The Bing team had to go rogue to get anything done quickly. Both got re-assimilated before they could achieve their full potential.
I'm in Phoenix.. IMO this state is insane, the government here really does deserve the scorn they get from the rest of the U.S., I am already planning my move out, I moved here a year and a half ago as it has a low cost of living, warm climate, etc and thought I would give it a shot but there is something very dark going on here with the government.
Since you say you have been involved in the production of such things I have a question for you....

Many of the comments below discuss how people experience HDTV "lag", I was wondering if you could shed any light on what causes this. Initially I was thinking that, if its a commodity processor then of course there is the potential for lag, but then you mentioned the FPGA's.

Now I am no fool, I know that its going to take time to process things even with an FPGA, but you got me thinking, in the HDTV application surely an FPGA will be coupled with a commercial DSP chip, heck for high volume I am sure the manufacturers will go the whole hog and get the FPGA netlist converted out into an ASIC or even full blown foundry chip.

Wouldn't the FPGA coupled with a DSP kill most of the lag outright ?

So where in your experience is the lag ?

By expensive you mean in CPU cycles, right? Isn't it becoming less expensive all the time thanks to Moore's Law? Is it really all that expensive these days? (I'm really asking because I don't know, this isn't rethorical.)
But Google would make less money (and incur more costs) if they went after companies not in compliance with the GPL.

I do agree Google could come up with a way to twist Android trademark licensees to be compliant. I don't know if I agree that Google is evil if they don't.

You can assign an attribute to a function in Python since functions have a __dict__. for example:

def foo(): pass

foo.a="asdf"

>>> foo.a

'asdf'

>>> foo.__dict__

{'a': 'asdf'}

or alternatively:

>>> def bar():

... bar.a = "asdf"

...

>>> bar.a

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'a'

>>> bar()

>>> bar.a

'asdf'
RIM is all out of Ideas
Yes. This is a great point. I've been involved in a startup and advisory capacity with a handful. The good ones are clearly working for their startups. They gain success through their startups. In the bad ones, it feels like the reverse - the startups are working for the accelerator. The difference was clear to me.

A secondary question is whether those interactions bring value. It's okay to be busy with engagements if those engagements are truly helping.
I have never had a facebook account. never will.

But, I have been on Reddit for 5 years, Digg and Slashdot (Since 1997) before that.

I am ready to quit The Reddit too now, though. 2012 is to be my most productive year.

I have configured Reddit Enhancement Suite to block a range of domains, keywords and subreddits. Even still I find myself clicking /r/all far too often.

I have been trying to evaluate what I get out of Reddit and recently its been too much of a circlejerk for me than actually teaching me anything...

Hmm... Looks like I have talked myself into it...

Time to quite the reddit.
