This may be the case, and I admit Android is still a little bit behind iOS in that regard. What I despise, however, is the article's tone, which tries to make it look like this minor difference is important to the user, and he will hate Android for it. I would guess the percentage of users disturbed by this is maybe 1%. There are so many other major differences between Android and iOS that are much more relevant to the user, like lock-in, choice of different handsets etc.
Absolutely, but can it complete column names in your database table? Or Redis commands? Or long hard-to-spell English words and sentences? :)

Vim will autocomplete based on whatever you have in the buffers. So when writing sql I sometimes open up a new buffer and paste the output of desc table.
Even though IMDB have a mobile site (automatically redirects you to m.imdb.com), it STILL prompts you to download the app every single time you visit. Extremely annoying.
Physicists find dark matter: It's everywhere
"That's the same year that multi-touch interfaces exploded, low power consumption became key, and the tired, old trappings of faux-desktops were finally set aside for something completely new. "

Funnily, this statement sounds a lot more like it is spoken by someone who has fallen in love, in this case someone infatuated with multi-touch interfaces and so on.

It sounds like the author is arguing that new is automatically better. I mean, I think I understand the point he is trying to make about being trapped in the familiar and being unable to appreciate new approaches, I just don't think it's said very well here. Is he claiming that input interfaces and power consumption are areas of technology that are seeing high innovation and rapid adoption of new ideas, in contrast to the area of build systems and editors? That seems patently absurd to me. Input devices have barely changed at all since the typewriter (the exception would be the invention of the mouse), and although touch interfaces have uses in some areas, in others they are not an improvement at all - one new piece of input technology making it into general use since the sixties does not rapid innovation make. Oh, and build systems and editors are the two things where there are new approaches popping up all the time. The latest I heard was that google Go will ship version 1 with their own build system, for example.
It may not be really true. Indians are a "greedy" lot, always looking for ways to improve their lifestyle. So, the 2nd generation Indian programmer will be looking to work lesser than his (or her) parents and make more money.. and the software industry will always have slots for people who just understand instructions and not think.
SEO Experts Optimizing Press Releases
We accept the fact that press releases are an exceptional medium to let your consumers know about the latest goods and services launched by your company. But to reach your target audiences, the press releases need to follow certain rules and SEO experts can be your best guide.

I also recommend this to almost everyone! Also, I suggest that you have a .com domain name to redirect to sleepti.me? This is because I spend a great deal of time and effort explaining the domain name - sleepyti.me :| Instead of having something like: "sleepytime.com". Sleepyti.me works great when typed but not when spoken (word-of-mouth). Just my 2 cents.

Well, it depends on the hard drives you're using, and the exact access pattern, but sequential access to disk can be even faster than random access to RAM.[0] This of course doesn't really matter to average Joe, since he has little influence on how data is read from his disk. But if you're say, a database developer, it does matter quite a bit.

I think the reason why Android has become so popular with the manufacturers is because they're free to customise the OS. If Android was just a one interface, one direction platform I don't think any of them would have taken it up.

Mobile phones are still a very competitive market and manufacturers want to differentiate their products to attract customers from another
How do you interpret the quote "The origins of this, as Martin Shefter pointed out many years ago, is due to the fact that democracy preceded bureaucratic consolidation in contrast to European democracies that arose out of aristocratic regimes." ?

This is the secret of storytelling. Hell, it's the secret of art. Music, painting, writing, architecture, wine making... you name it.

Storytelling > story, BTW. That's why P&T can make new with the same old tricks. If you tell the same old story in a new way, it feels unique.

The surprise is not in the content, it's in the experience.

I'm strong user of Node.js style modules (also for client side) and I see modules as proposed for Harmony as big step forward. It's basically same concept but with dedicated syntax (well put syntax) and some extra powerful features.

I've once setup some comparison how today modules written for Node.js (like modules that are functions) will look in harmony. I didn't spot any issues. See slides 86-87 at http://www.slideshare.net/medikoo/javascript-modules-done-ri...
This is actualy a perfect example. The specific laws aren't the only concern. once the atmosphere is created where registars are expected to take down domains in response to legal claims, complaints, and such it exists. once this becomes part of their job they will seek to do it with minimal costs and risk. Since the cost of losing one customer to godaddy is so out of sync with the cost of to the customer of being taken down, we can expect these kinds of results.

Shutting down a domain will always be a lot cheaper than any involvement of a legal team.

Your original comment is impolite because it is presented as a demand without any explanation. A demand of proof without explanation can be interpreted as an accusation of lying. Something like, "I haven't seen this phenomenon myself; could you link to some example bad ISPs or articles documenting it?" would be much better.

As for proof, I'm not a professional sysadmin, but based on my reading the most proof you're likely to get is indirect proof in the form of requests to IP addresses long after they've been removed from DNS. If those requests are concentrated in a few ISP subnets, it's reasonable to infer that it's the ISP, not customer equipment, that is caching beyond TTL.
This might be the explanation for the unthinking conservatism influential in the Linux community.

Apple ALWAYS takes a few days to officially respond to issues like this one. A week is about average. I guess they really have high-level people considering their moves from a PR perspective, or maybe they like to run stuff past their lawyers first or something.

namecheap does, it is well known that GoDaddy needs nothing but an email from a semi-serious domain with bogus claims to shut down your business.

This was even a reason people were advocating against GoDaddy before the whole SOPA story.

Compliance does not excuse them from responsibility. Yes, both are trying the best job they can in the face of a request, but both also have the individual freedom to choose not to execute a hit job. Outrageous actions call for outrageous metaphors.
The source code has nothing to do with the content of a patent. It can be part of a patent, but it isn't necessary. The courts don't care how you implemented someone else's "idea," only that you did.
It's fine to estimate in Story Points, but I need to be able to say by when you will be finished, or whether I will be able to complete the tasks by a certain date. How do you do this?
I moved to Namecheap three GoDaddy scandals ago (the elephant one, before Jotform and SOPA). You've got to wonder how they've got any customers left.

Maybe this is a good way to measure internet time - "We launched our first service four GoDaddy scandals ago, and pivoted two scandals later."
Thank you for the details. Is your .net domain safer than the .com? and if yes, why? Also, do you think the domain suspension could have been avoided if you had used another registrar?
Interesting approach, ultimately though we'll want to optimize for physical device size and distance between user & device :)

I guess this will get easier once almost every display uses the ppi of the iPhone 4.
> we could expect that those problems could be worked out by an actual market

Does that mean it's certain that an actual market will sort things out, or simply that in one specific model (which is a gross simplification of how the real world works), it's theoretically possible that these problems will be solved?
Kudos. A similar idea I had but never implemented (no doubt I'm not the only one), that would show/hide text based on user knowledge rather than screen size:

Mar. 21, 2010
-------------

Sometimes when writing a blog post, article, or other composition that will be
read by more than one class of audience, one audience can become bored or upset
by content that is needed to bring another audience up to speed. For example, a
blog written by a highly technical person both to educate other technical people
and to keep less-technical family members in the loop may include lots of
simplified definitions of technical terms that most technical people already
know. To prevent alienation of the technical group while still preserving the
definitions and explanations for non-technical readers, definitions could be
surrounded by a span or div of class "nontech_definition". A simple script,
client-side custom stylesheet, or alternate stylesheet could then allow
technical readers to set those definitions to visibilty:hidden or even
display:none, and continue on their way uninterrupted by repetitive and
unnecessary (for them) clarifications. To alert the technical readers of this
possibility, a note or link could be provided by the first definition on each
page (or last, or as a footnote or tooltip, etc.) explaining how to hide the
definitions.

This idea occurred to me while reading an article about VCs and startups. The article made repeated reference to BI businesses, but I had to look up the
relevant definition of BI (in this case, business intelligence).

P.S. I'm sure my variation of the idea was anticipated by the creators of CSS.
I expect the OP was talking about reading fiction books. You don't skim fiction.
I felt like I addressed this under "Velocity"; have another look, and if you think I didn't explain it well, I'll give it another crack.
It should be something that's orthogonal to screen size. Maybe have a slider somewhere on the page that allows you to zoom in and out of the content.
Isn't this a problem with responsive design as a whole any way?
I think it will be an option for many indie publishers in all mediums in a not to distant future.

On the other hand I'm not really sure about the way Gaffigan lays it out, which is not making me want to spend $5.

There are a large number of companies still using GoDaddy even after hearing so many horror stories. Even some YC companies use them. If I had to choose a service provider, then I would most definitely forego the ones who are reliant on GoDaddy, even if it they are really awesome. After all being there trumps being awesome by a huge margin.

I guess it's time customers started calling up these companies and telling them that the reliance on GoDaddy is something that they are worried about.

tl;dr -> it works pretty well

Planning poker has worked for me at companies that didn't otherwise adopt any agile processes. It's better if you use points in a more comprehensive way as mentioned in the article but a lot of umm... "people" just don't seem to get that abstract nature of it. Well, that may not be fair, but they definitely don't care. I have found it works just as well if you just call points "hours" because the most important part is having a bunch of people in a room talking about how difficult a task is going to be relative to the other tasks in a project. Estimation is one of the hard things to do, and if you can demonstrate a process that helps with that, people are more likely to try some of those other "crazy" ideas you keep ranting about...
Fifteen years ago it was the web browser that was going to blow the desktop OS to smithereens. Larry Ellison announced the "network computer" that had no local storage (i.e., no hard drive) booted from the net and revolved around the browser. Although the web browser has become more important over the last 15 years, the only thing we have today that resembles a network computer is the Google Chromebook, and the only people who have those things are people who got them below cost and want to replace the (Chrome) OS with a desktop OS and (returning to the theme of the OP) people who really really really love the web.

There has been over 30 years of research and field experience with the WIMP paradigm. The code bases (source trees) for the three most "popular" (most relied-on) desktop OSes are over 20 years old. (Yes, I know that the code base for Windows XP and later differs from that of Windows 98 and earlier, but the code base for XP and later, namely, the NT code base, is itself over 20 years old if you count the final 18 months or so of its pre-release development.) I concede that there is a good chance that iOS and Android and Windows Metro will eventually kill the desktop OS, but that is going to take another 10 years and probably significantly longer.
ERBE ALL'AGLIO
I think his argument is a very bad one. It starts with the usual "Adversaries have more money and resources so it's better to just give up the fight". That is no help unless you're already on the winning side and posturing.

While he certainly has a point that badly done circumvention tools give a false feeling of safety, I don't think completely giving up is a solution either.

No matter what, activists in such countries are already daring their lives (through off-line activities). It is important to get some information out there, through regimes' firewalls, and the only way might be through such tools.

And only circumvention tools (such as TOR) that are public, open source, and actively being used can be subject to scrutiny (otherwise it'd be a completely academic exercise), which improves the security of the tools over the long run.

Edit: Also, with the recent push for internet censorship even in western countries it's starting to be pretty clear we need the tools here too.

Yet Another Steve Jobs Bio Post
Somehow, I feel that even responsive web-design is a half-ass solution to scaling a web-app from a mobile/hand-held to a LCD screen.

For example, right now I am watching your Responsive Text page on an 1920 x 1080 (49" LCD panel) and the text did not scale to a level to which it could. Besides it's not just about font-size or image scaling. It's about managing the size of each pixel too, so that things remain in proportion.

I know this is a hard problem, and there has been no acceptable/worthy answer to this question on SOF either: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8421533/how-to-obtain-ctr...

The bit explaining velocity and sprints is really just a sentence... It may deserve a bit more emphasis. It makes sense to me, but to someone who isn't familiar with it, it is easy to gloss over that part.

And you also don't mention that if a manager wants to know when something is done more frequently than once a week, there's probably something else wrong there. Nobody should really be managing developers hour by hour, you're just going to kill productivity. Are you building a product in the long term, or are you micromanaging every paragraph of text on the web site, etc.
I wonder... if almost everyone knows and complains about the smoothness in Android being not as good as iOS(consistently, I mean)... Isn't Google aware of this? Or does achieving impeccable smoothness come at a cost(increased memory usage?).. which means that Google are in the crossroads here, trying to balance fluid UX and efficient memory management?

Or is it because Apple and Microsoft have been leaders in software engineering for more than a couple of decades and may have mastered the ins and outs of Operating Systems.. and since it has been only 5-6 years that Google has been working on Android, are they still competitively behind Apple and MS in this regard? and so that we can hope for improvement?

I'm starting to think that the DNS as a whole needs to be replaced by something that is more resilient against broken legal and political systems.

I'm not saying governments should not fight crime or that there should be no way to shut down a website, but what we're witnessing these days is a total breakdown of long established principles of law, including due process and proportional justice.

It may sound strange and some would say nonsensical, but I feel that legal systems worldwide and especially in the US have gone down hill since 9/11. What seems to have changed is that governments have given up the idea that global problems can be solved within the framework of established legal principles.

It feels like everything they do is guided by a mindset of martial law. It's all a helpless thrashing about. It's going to take a long time for the globalised world to find its footing again and until then we have to find better technical solutions to limit the damage they're able to do.
