"Why I Hate Android"

2nd paragraph in, "Believe it or not, I actually don’t hate Android."
Both Angry Birds and Cut the Rope are now on HTML5 (http://chrome.angrybirds.com/)

This is starting to become a trend, but it needs a strong driver. The Windows 8 App Store may provide the push needed to get HTML5 adoption up for applications. It's a different ball game in the web, but I think we'll start to see the web playing a bigger role in the marketplace.

Just curious: Why the down vote?
I think that if you put a flag it effectively means removing those features from Scala, because it will declare them as dangerous. If that happens, then you have lost to Kotlin / Ceylon because these languages have an edge on Scala in terms of ecosystem (IDE / hibernate). The only chance Scala has is in allowing more sophisticated language constructs.

I think the source of the problem, at least in this blog post, is that extension methods are limited today. They are done with implicit conversion which is limited for obvious reasons I guess (not allowing type A to arbitrarily become B). I think a feature focusing just on adding extension methods is required, even if it makes the language spec larger.
Aw, too bad. They must be aware they're blocking browsers that support it if they have that override. But yes, that does work for me. (*Edit: it appears audio is [at worst] broken in Chrome stable according to the dev blog for this project).

Thank you for sharing, its appreciated by people like me who are new to mobile development.

Question: Can you disclose any information about your in-app sales? You mentioned you sold customizable background art, what was the price point? How many did you sell? Roughly what percentage of app owners end up doing an in-app purchase?

Thanks

A lot of success can come from creating simple apps for undeserved niches. I've made about $10,000 over last two years selling an app that is literally 5 images in a tab view. It took me one weekend to make. I know it's not too much, but it feels good in the pocket, the money flows steadily every day no matter what and requires absolutely no maintenance or additional work on my part, ever. There's a lot of low-hanging fruit in the long tail of the distribution.

I know your personal convictions in crowdsourcing this kind of stuff may be completely opposed to my recommendations... but please consider contacting specialists who you may know by their contribution to social sites instead of relying on crowdsourcing. It's my belief that the true power of online social communities rely on the kind of people that wouldn't interact with each other if it not where because of the internet.

I particularly think that for example tptacek or trotsky (the HN user, however she/he has himself called as in meatspace eludes me) would be interesting people, where I in your position, to discuss this with at least briefly. I myself have certain first hand experience with internet protocols, information security, and left leaning politics, and my arguments would look like crayon written babbling compared to what they may come up with in a discussion about SOPA.
I think I agree with all this; I'm just making (or actually regurgitating) an argument for why induction isn't as popular here as it is in Europe. Again: induction is awesome.

But I've done my own tests and so has Cooks Illustrated and it doesn't look like the typical induction unit boils water faster than gas. On the other hand: who cares?
You are missing the paragraph titled "Average Comments Per User By Identity". That paragraph at least supports the conclusion that people who post under pseudonyms post more frequently, which refutes your alternate hypothesis.

Of course, there's no indication of methodology, and there's nothing to suggest that those who post under a true identity would post more frequently if they were pseudonymous.

What is a Visa?
Two sentences later, "What I hate is what Android has become."

Not linkbait, just clarifying that he doesn't hate the OS, he hates what Google has done with it. I'm by no means an MG Siegler fan, and I think he's being facetious here, but there is a legitimate point to be made that Google's capitulation to the carriers has come at the expense of their vision for Android and its users.

A bigger question arises. Since we now know that his Android feelings comes from hatred of Google and their policies, how do we trust his opinion on the actual devices? I guess him not being a full time staffer at techcrunch anymore helps with that. But what about past reviews from when he was?
"""Apple, for all the shit they get for being “closed” and “evil”, has actually done far more to wrestle control back from the carriers and put it into the hands of consumers. Google set off to help in this goal, then stabbed us all in the back and went the complete other way, to the side of the carriers. And because they smiled the entire time they were doing it and fed us “open” bullshit, we thanked them for it. We’re still thanking them for it!"""

Really? Apple has put control back into the hands of consumers? Ahhh, yes - the fog is lifting now. Apple locked themselves into the worst carrier in the US which, in turn, locked their customers into bad service for a good phone. Oh, oh and wait - there's more. Apple has done the industry a fantastic favor by fueling the tipping point of the intellectual property patent war that's been oh so rightly just for the good of all humans.

Yes, yes - I see the point of this article now. Because I was told to.

But in all reality - Google took the shot, Apple never wanted to share the ball in the first place. Chew on that hate MG.

Apple gives Tim Cook $376M stock award
One of his major issues seems to be Google not coming through on the topic of net neutrality, and that his overall opinion of Android is coloured by this. But an honest genuine question (I don't know the answer)- what did Apple do to further net neutrality?

It seems like MG expected a lot of Google, and Google let him down. But what did he expect of Apple, and did they deliver? Because last time I looked Apple were championing all the wrong things.
Once again, I haven't used SQLite in a very long time nor do I know anything about what your code looks like but there's a possibility that if you remove your calls to SQLite from your unit tests and use a mock repository, you could reduce that total run-time of your tests from 20 seconds to a second.

One of my current asp.net mvc projects has about 192 unit tests and has a total run-time around 2.3 seconds. Most of the time, the code I'm changing and working on doesn't interact with the database and so I can keep running all my unit-tests after every change to make sure I haven't broken anything. I wouldn't be running my unit-tests as regularly as I do now if I knew I'd have to wait 20 seconds each time.

Give trying using a mock for the test that involve SQLite when you find some free time. You may find the time saved to be worth it. I'd also suggest looking into dan_b's suggestion below; a one-line code change to go from in-memory to integration tests sounds interesting and if it works like I imagine it does, I think I'll be giving nHibernate another chance since my last disappointing attempt at using it.

Miles Sabin's solution is also worth a look: https://gist.github.com/f83892f65f63b14a1f75

It uses dependent types which will be included by default in Scala 2.10. I don't consider this as "simple" but my point of view is that Computer Science is not "simple" :-). And having a language supporting that level of genericity is really helpful for type-safety and code reuse.
Prior restraint is the biggest 1st-amendment issue possible (as expressed by SCOTUS in several opinions), and shutting down sites based on a say-so and a court order that the site "looks infringing" is prior restraint.

I'm in CA as well. Happy to point you to a few lawyers that can help.

You are partially correct, it's only enforceable in partnerships and when someone is selling their ownership interest in a company. So if another company buys you, then they can enforce the non-compete with them for a few years. but if you leave or are terminated, I'm not sure that they can stop you from being employed for 5 years. Again, IANAL, but I've had a few of these conversations over the past few months.
"I hate Android because Google doesn't market/sell it how I like" ?

He objects for seemingly, what, "moral" reasons? Yet he merely argues that Apple is "more open" via a closed ecosystem because of the power the carriers currently wield? His post chronicles the truths of this situation. Google tried to sell their phones directly, that failed miserably because Americans refuse to understand how contracts work and buy unsubsidized phones. So, they tried something else. I'm happily running a custom rom on an `oem unlock`ed phone as I speak. It doesn't bother me that my friend bought a locked Android phone, he's perfectly happy too.

I don't understand this post. Did he expect Google to give up or fail for ideological reasons? The way he hyped this on Twitter and his last post at TC, I wonder if he is just a troll anymore.

And an implication that Google is going to... do what exactly, in the patent war? Somehow they're siding with the carriers and they're worse than Apple or Microsoft in the use of their patents. I honestly don't understand what is being alleged or suggested by that paragraph.

So, Google compromises with Verizon = "[Android being open] nuclear bullshit.", that's what this boils down to, right?

Why wouldn't they have the right? The DNS servers in question are physically in US territory.

Well in the US we have this thing called "constitutional rights" which say, among other things, that Congress shall make no law "abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press".

Laws blocking results returned from a DNS server is just about the closest thing imaginable to "abridging a press" in the 21 century.

We as a profession suck. It's not a criticism, just a statement of fact. We're in the stone ages. The interfaces my fellow programmers create are hard to discover, hard to understand, hard to use. And then I try to create interfaces and end up perpetrating the same crimes in my turn.

What happened with the Google doc? Did it just get inundated with memes or something?

A GDoc might not be the answer here (my mind is actually drawn to Google Wave for some reason---something with a short feedback loop), and there may be no technological answer(someone smart [who may even end up being me]: this is a pain point worth pursuing), but I do know that without a core basic skeleton and background info (if all you've got so far is a list of points you want to hit, that's the "source" of your address), there's nothing the community can do.

I'm not trying to be pushy, just realistic. Good luck!

What do you think is Google's vision for Android?

Android is in the hands of hundreds of millions of people.

It is the cheapest smartphone that even people from Africa can afford to buy an Android phone sans contract.

Google made a lot of compromises but I believe the original vision will still be achieved which is to bring computing to the masses.
I think it's extremely unhelpful, in these discussions, to resort to "well Apple does bad things too, so how can you prefer Apple?"

Ultimately I think the point the article's getting at here is that Apple's at least been relatively honest in their marketing; they never delivered an open stack based around principles of software freedom, but they also never promised us they would. Google did promise that; they promised it seven ways to Sunday, and then failed to deliver in a variety of ways, not all of which can be attributed to innocent mistakes.

So the criticism of Google is not rooted in "this other platform is more open". The criticism of Google is rooted in "gathering this huge following by loudly trumpeting principles you won't follow" is rank hypocrisy.
Both are horrible. Mozilla's because the string is a transparent blob that's parsed separately to the rest of the CSS syntax and Microsoft's because it's dependent on ordering.

I don't see why a boolean value wasn't an option; the values is either defined or it's not. Otherwise "kern(1)" would have been more consistant with other properties.

Honestly I don't see how you could possibly have a reasonable methodology for the claims you make in the infographic.

How do you avoid selection bias, particularly in regards to frequency of comments? For example, a source of technical bias could be that it is a simpler process to log into a Disqus pseudonym than to authenticate with Facebook when posting. Usability is incredibly important in attracting repeat users, so if it is easier to post under a disqus username then it is not surprising that pseudonymous users post more frequently. Another source of obvious selection bias is the disqus branding: I expect people who have Disqus accounts are both more likely to frequent blogs, and are more likely to recognize that they can easily comment on a blog with a Disqus comment section. By way of contrast, Facebook users may not even recognize that they have the credentials to easily comment, and may be reluctant to share their credentials with your third party service except in cases where they have a strong opinion about a piece of content.

I can see the data on comment quality being more objective and interesting, but even here there is probably selection bias: if most of the indicators of quality come from Disqus accounts' appraisals, then you may be measuring whatever bias Disqus users have as regards comment quality from Facebook commenters.

iOS Multitasking in detail [video]
So, Google had a pipe dream about turning carriers into dumb pipes, and had to face reality when the carriers wouldn't let them. Therefore, MG hates Android.

I just don't know what MG wanted to Google to do. We all have our own ideas about how the world should be. The options for Google seem to be a hardline tactic to get exactly what they envisioned and subsequently have a dead on arrival Android OS, or work within the system. Apple had a similar grand ambition when the iPhone first launched with no carrier subsidy. They backed off when it didn't work, so why doesn't MG hate the iPhone?

I agree with MG that the iPhone wrestled power from the carriers. I just disagree that gave it to us (other than indirectly). The article relies on a viewing of carriers as absolute evil and Apple/2007 Google as beams of pure good and light. I don't. There are shades of grey everywhere. iPhone brought a great OS with no crapware, a decent update schedule, and a handy app/media store where Apple gets a say in and a cut of everything, with one hardware option. Android brought you an OS that runs on multiple devices with a relatively open ecosystem, with the drawbacks of a less smooth experience and allowing carriers/OEMs monkey around with Android. Carriers have their own set of priorities that also have a bunch of pros and cons.

Don't get me started on the logical hoops MG must jump through to view a compromise on a policy proposal for net neutrality as the ultimate betrayal while a device that requires the manufacturer to approve all software that runs on it is A-OK.
This won't be a popular statement, but I think programmers and engineers in general pat themselves on the back more than they deserve in terms of how logical they are in real life situations.
This doesn't surprise me. Pseudonyms are the middle ground between anonymous and real. This article seems to point to the fact that pseudonyms are the best of both worlds, ie more likely to comment (from anonymity), while the quality remains high (from actual identity).

Whether or not this report is comprehensive, and I believe it to be pretty airy, this is still extremely fascinating.
He's not forgetting it. To simplify: if you want the market return, there's no point in paying a hedge fund manager: just invest in an index fund! And if you're really bullish you can invest in index futures or (say) ACME DoubleMarketReturn fund that returns double the profits or losses of the market.

The point of investing in a particular hedge fund, as well as actively-managed mutual funds, is that you expect its manager to pick good stocks, better than the average, so you get "excess return" (a.k.a alpha). What wtvanhest is saying is that, essentially, it's a closed system and if you sum all their "excess" returns you get zero.

wtvanhest is not quite right (see Crisscross' comment), though it's much more informative than the linked rant.
What about editing, critiquing, or writing pop novels(perhaps somewhat equivalent to overseeing new devices or just engineering common devices). That also needs to get done.

To the extent we find bugs that cause the brain to stop working properly over time, we'll need to find and fix those. That falls under "problems we'd love to have".

As for the question of whether people want to live for hundreds of years: if you don't want to live longer, you can easily stop. A surprisingly large number of people seem to rationalize the lack of immortality by claiming people won't want to live forever, which strikes me as sour grapes. Given an actual solution that allows people to live forever, the question becomes "do you want to die?", and I seriously doubt many people will say "yes".

(Also, if you think of immortality as "hundreds of years", I think you need to recalibrate your scale. I'd like a lifetime measured on a cosmological time scale, and I have no problem conceiving of ways to spend that time.)
Is this an issue with race conditions, or with alternating between reading and writing the state during a single request, or both, or something else entirely?

Usually reading and then writing some state followed by waiting briefly to see if another thread will change the same value, if it does use then do something with the new value and return that to the request.

I agree that the processing you do with that data might require some significant rethinking, depending on how it was written/planned out before (sure, state-passing style is always there, though I don't enjoy doing it... really though, I've found that a lot of what I was used to doing imperatively is not all that awkward to do functionally).

Depends on how much more difficult it is , does it just require and adjustment of thinking to a new paradigm or is doing everything harder? I'm thinking of stuff like Haskell Monads here. I admit I have not much functional knowledge beyond some basic scheme so I'm curious about this.

What's the conventional way to do this in an imperative language?

I guess allocate stuff on the heap which other threads can modify, use monitors to control concurrent access.
Interesting how someone who despises Google for not being a champion of Net Neutrality prefer Apple with its uber closed and "WE have to approve what you do with your phone" ecosystem. Android has done much more than Apple to open up the mobile space for developpers, let alone users who do not have to rely on a unique and official "Appstore".

One can prefer Apple products for a number of reasons, but taking the angle of "net neutrality" to justify one's position is hardly understandable in this case.
