Am I the only person that thinks that the results shown in the Google search for "jQuery" are horrible search results?

The results are:

1) a Google Plus post on "CodeAcademy teaches jQuery"

2) a Google Plus post on "15 Resources to Get You Started With jQuery from Scratch"

3) a Google Plus post on "Is there already a jQuery Plugin that provides a Google+ Circles...?"

If you were to search for just the word "jQuery", what are the chances that any of these are what you were looking for?

This really doesn't seem like an instance of knocking it out of the park.
> There is absolutely no moral high ground enjoyed by governments compared to mafia

You're conflating an occupying army with a democratically elected government staying within its borders. That seems like a huge leap to make, and is spoken like someone with no exposure to the realities of organized crime and its deleterious effects on society.

If you look at this chart: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regioni_d%27Italia#Dati_economi... and rank it by 'PIL Pro Capite' (Per capita GDP), the correlation with organized crime is fairly strong, whereas the country and government are the same. Migration from South to North continues to far exceed North to South: apparently people prefer better government and less crime to the opposite.

This sort of sophomoric intellectual exercise doesn't do justice to what you believe in.
My understanding is that GEE still requires the Google Earth plugin, and will not do a 'google maps' style interface?
> Medfield is fast. I firmly believe had it been released a year ago it would have dominated the Android smartphone market from the very start.

Unfortunately, ARM is fast enough. The iPad can run an internet browser, and Angry Birds, which is all tablets are really good for. Gamers want better 3D, and maybe a physics chip, where ARM may have the edge. Number crunchers SSH into a real computer. The thin client may have had a few false starts, but it seems to be finally emerging for real.
Oh, well there are two issues here: whether to always include braces, and what brace style to use. Whitesmiths is a brace style, that's what I was pointing out. The decision to include braces or not is a different thing. I tend to omit braces in obvious situations, but am not beholden to it.

Of a non-mobile optimized website.
I agree with you.

My one bit of criticism might be, in a plain php file without any code block wrapping handler logic, it's harder to understand context. I don't know exactly where this file is getting executed, and so it's not clear where the contextual properties are coming from? Perhaps that's the point.
Ah, well I definitely missed that when doing my research, but I did build my assumptions into my language (ie using the word "untapped" versus "untouched", implying that it existed but wasn't fully utilized). That said, I think the word "entirely" is misplaced. I'm going to take it out and use "mostly" instead, if that helps :)

Also, if you can shoot me an article about the demographics of those games that you mentioned, I will include it in my article. Thanks for pointing that out.
Pros and cons. Switching away from a mainstream language is hard; you lose the community and all the work going to it. But you gain a lot of technical power, and possibly find a small community of really smart people.

Sometimes you can get the best of both worlds by doing something like ClojureScript, which is to compile to a mainstream language. That is compelling.

In the end, Lisp is really powerful, it's better than other languages, and it's worth learning. If you can deal with the lack of a huge community, you'll be fine. Clojure is gaining quite a large following, actually, so it's one of the best environments to learn Lisp.
Currently there are no notable shipping devices with Intel CPUs. Thus, up to now, Intel's fabrication process advantage has not been enough. I speculate that the rest of the world will stay close enough to Intel to make the advantage non-disruptive to ARM. There is however a technological chasm that ARM must successfully cross - namely the transition to high performance systems enabled by the ever higher transistor budgets permitted by Moore's Law.

One can imagine that big L2 caches, high memory bandwidth and eventually 64-bit addressing will be important for mobile devices. On one hand Intel can attempt to drive existing high performance x86 solutions to low power, and on the other hand ARM can attempt to extend their architecture for high performance - given more transistors and better power characteristics available to both sides, the rest of the world lagging Intel.
Successful People Who Wake Up Really Early
Perhaps this is self-serving, but I completely agree. If you plan to be in the software business, it pays to know a little bit of what your business is built on.

The best way to learn how to code is to pick a small project, build it and deploy. With app stores galore (Google Chrome, Apple, Android) there are plenty of interesting opportunities for small applications to get your feet wet. I wouldn't worry about making the next big thing. Pick something fun and ship it.

I personally would start with a scripting language and build some cool games with it. I personally would recommend starting with Lua and using Corona (http://www.anscamobile.com/corona/) to get started. This will give you an application that is easy to build and deploy across multiple platforms.
I respectfully suspect you are misunderstanding history. First, the Copyright Clause permits, but does not mandate, certain forms of creative protection for a limited time.

Second, the clause itself states its goal. It was to encourage more creation, "preventing piracy" was a means to an end, not an end in itself.

And finally, there is good reason to think that regarding copyright in particular the target was never meant to be users at all, but other commercial grade publishers and competing authors. (It was prohibitively difficult in that era for an end user to make a copy of any substantial creative work so it likely wasn't even considered. I suspect, given some of Jefferson's comments in particular, that many of the Framers would have been against trying to apply copyright laws to end users had they realized it would eventually be an issue).

Apologies. I misread "extensive" as "exclusive" in the article. It doesn't matter - I'm sure that Intel gave Motorola a sweet deal to get an "extensive" commitment.
Show HN: iOS web automation and scraper - trainable with a browser
The old RISC vs CISC is completely dead now.
Intel have now shown they can match ARM's equivalent powered CPUs in terms of energy efficiency, and that was the last argument the RISC proponents had in the argument.

Intel's chips are internally RISC, with the only overhead of decoding and fusing the ops and the transistors to do this. And despite this overhead, they're still miles ahead.

The only argument left then is the actual instruction sets at asm level, and here, CISC has an advantage, because they can do so much more in one instruction (take memory addressing modes for example), so they're more compact from an executable point-of-view and instruction cache point-of-view.
>> That's like saying that everyone at Occupy Wall Street had forswear all material goods in order to be considered "valid" protesters.

No, it isn't.

Occupy Wall Street isn't about giving up all material goods. A better analogy is a OWS protester who is a manager at one of the banks that got bailed out.

>> Discarding someone's argument due to a lack of complete purity is just plain facile.

I never said the arguments should be discarded. I acknowledged that Al Gore did a good job spreading the word about global warming.

I'm just saying it's refreshing when someone actually stands behind their argument by making a personal change or sacrifice.
DNSSEC prevents spoofing (as does HTTPS), but that's about all it does that's relevant to SOPA. This may prevent a particular mechanism of SOPA enforcement, but that's easy enough for the government to work around, in theory.

> The right to give and the right to charge are inherently personal decisions

Actually, in the U.S.A. the right to restrict others from "using" "your" "intellectual property" is granted by the government and only for limited times (in theory). The default natural state is that everyone has the right to share, reuse, etc everyone's intangible creative works.
>"If you only look at your organization then yes 1/2 of the teams in your org are below average for your org, not necessarily below average for all software developers."

If you look across the industry odds are most or all of your organization's teams are below average given that Google, Microsoft, Apple, Oracle, IBM, etc. are able to retain a significant fraction of the top talent and entrepreneurship claims many as well.

In a large organization, smart people realize that those distant people who decide what to do with the boulder are often motivated to move the boulder because they must do something and moving the boulder is something.

Occasionally, moving the boulder improves things, often it doesn't. A good manager musters resources to the former and gives lip service to the latter. A good manager listens to the whining of those compelled to demonstrate needless nimbleness by pointing to the degree to which others are not participating in the fire drill of the quarter, while retaining adequate staff in a pleasant workplace to move the boulder when it actually needs moving.
How do you feel about Open Source software?

Because while the analogy isn't perfect there are obvious similarities between programmers releasing their software free (by both meanings) and open and photographers distributing their own photos via Creative Commons or whatever.
This is the nature of the beast in today's tech journalism. Every story is cast as some sort of Manichean struggle. It's more than a little bit silly. We can follow the competition between tech companies without imagining that one or the other is sure to go out of business soon.
And this is a step to correct that. Search is hard, and its getting harder. SEO is ruining search, real human crowdsourced referrals offload the parts where algorithms cannot perform.

chest your english is clear and to the point. Ignore those comments he is off on a tangent. I suspect the anger, FEAR and disgust with SOPA PROTECT IP and the other efforts to censor the internet and eliminate sure processes is the origin of many of this not so generous comments. These undermine the internet our jobs, not to be overly dramatic, and everyones freedom not just in the US. The biggest copyright holders are at the forfront I can understand the spillover. Unfortunately many of the people that actually create the great works are against it but they don't have the say or the influence individually. Regards.
> That being said, I never felt particularly inclined to write the whole things in C++.

Agreed, however one of the problems we are encountering is passing messages efficiently between RoR and the C++ components. Currently using XML until another method that is more efficient, but no less flexible, presents itself.

Personally I think the debate should be less focused on which language to write your web application in, and more on improving the glue between different languages so in developing web applications we can have the best of all possible worlds.

Intel's SoC Atom part will not, in my opinion, be priced below ARM parts competing for a particular manufacturer's design. Intel is a high margin company and I think will sell high-priced Medfield on the basis of higher performance. Intel is the high-priced market incumbent in this case - and may well be disrupted soon by certain ARM low-power servers.

I really don't doubt that for many people it has its place, as evidenced by your experience, but the moment you want any semblance of interactivity (at which point you can argue that a CMS is the wrong tool for the job) or efficiency/optimisation, you're screwed.

We've had different experiences, but I wouldn't touch it with a 10' bargepole, not any more. And I'm glad I've been managing to encourage my boss to start moving away from it. The only positive thing I've been able to take from it is a list of things never to do in my own code.

Like I say, it's not just Drupal. It's a side-effect of over-complication in the name of simplicity, and trying to run in parallel a system that makes it easy for non-devs to use. It's a recipe for disaster if you want lean, maintainable code.

Exactly. If an ISP simply returns an error for lookups of a blacklisted domain, DNSSEC shouldn't complain; it will just think there's a DNS outage.

Since no one has read it, here's the relevant text: "A service provider shall take technically feasible and reasonable measures designed to prevent access by its subscribers located within the United States to the foreign infringing site (or portion thereof) that is subject to the order, including measures designed to prevent the domain name of the foreign infringing site (or portion thereof) from resolving to that domain name's Internet Protocol address."

Android doesn't use 'fat binaries' by the strict definition of the term, but the APK format that apps are shipped in can include multiple individual builds of both the main app and required libraries so you could pack x86 and ARM builds in a single APK.

FWIW, there are already Android devices out there on x86 -- all of the currently shipping Google TV devices are built around Atom. The NDK isn't officially supported on those GTV platforms but it isn't difficult to get it working in practice.

Also, any complaints for this would probably be directed at Google (though I guess Google and Moto will be the same company soon anyway) because arch filtering is generally handled by the Android Market, so for users with these devices they just won't see the games showing up at all on their local install of the Android Market (since the market will be filtering out anything NDK based that doesn't have an included x86 build), so it looks like a market issue (if they already know the game exists), not an app issue.

When drafting contracts I apply the DRY principle, modularize sections, and focus on clarity and meaningful names for section headings.

Moreover most of the high powered marketing is distribution which is almost all code these days.

List of Unix programs
Indeed, that was an incredibly pernicious comment. I can understand how he got into politics.

Sadly, even though it was carefully explained to him, data on whether or not something constitutes copyright infringement does not exist. That's not a technical problem. It's not something you can change with a magical computer program. Infringement rests upon whether or not the person has permission to do whatever it is they're doing. That data is simply not available, so there aren't any numbers for Google (or anyone else) to crunch. He can only say it's easy because he doesn't know anything.

If he worked in sales, I bet he'd promise customers a time machine, collect a huge bonus, then blame the geeks for failing to deliver.

It might just be a difference in cultures, but in my experience if you, for example, ask a sys-admin for Linux help, they are more than happy to spend time on it. There is no stigma about asking for this sort of help even though you're basically asking a professional to work for free (at least in the Linux communities I'm familiar with). I've seen people spend hours helping others debug some issues.

Also, most programmers I know (admittedly all are at least open source enthusiasts) are all more than happy to provide you with little scripts. They are not only willing to allow you to use their code, but also usually happy to support that code for free to some extent (people are usually happy to help you get it set up, at the very least). I've mostly seen this on smaller programs and scripts, but those are not much different in scope from a single photograph.
