I might suggest taking a look at D. It's more or less C++ redesigned from the ground up by a C++ compiler writer, so it's much more consistent and a lot more pleasant to program in. I've had bad experiences with the third-party libraries, which were sometimes inconsistently documented and half-finished on account of the still unfortunately small community, but the standard libraries are excellent, especially everything that Andrei Alexandrescu has touched. For elaboration: http://drdobbs.com/article/print?articleId=217801225&sit...
I've seen some code (mostly from Backbone.js apps) use "var that = this;" instead.

Among the most compelling positives about G+ for me is that it's not Facebook.

Among the most compelling negatives about G+ for me is that ... it's the emergent evil face of Google.

Nothing has changed my view of the company as much as it's exceptionally ham-handed dealings with real identities, real names, pseudonyms, and the like, particularly as expressed by Schmid and Gundotra (with an honorable mention to Horowitz) in the past six or eight months.
I use Twitter primarily because of the network effect -- and secondarily because of the benefits of the 140-character narrative. (In particular, this allows for a much higher density view than I get with G+.) As for syndicating across multiple networks: I don't really see how I would lose Twitter followers -- and if I lose G+ followers over it, then G+ was probably never meant to be (at least for me). But I think you raise the essential question: is G+ meant to be different or better? And if better, how am I to migrate from Twitter (or FB) without having to manage two social networks?
That's a good question and my current solution is to refund the buyer once he found that the sale was a scam. It's not a perfect solution but I can't think of better ones at the moment.
"Corporate" or "crony" capitalism is the key word. In real capitalism people would be in charge of their own production and not subject themselves to the above. Their are all sorts of laws on the books to prevent the poor from being charge of their own value (taxi laws, food licensing, planning permits etc.) as well as curbs on investment (you can't invest in the host upcoming company unless you're already a millionaire) and lending (poor people aren't eligible for loans to start busineses). Not to mention the biggest evil - public schools, where poor children are subjected to deskilling of their natural talents (schooling is important - why not give vouchers and let small businesses operate school - in third world countries this is the norm and they far outperform government schools).

You really have to back that up with something substantial. I can't see how any logical person would make the connection that android market gift cards being available would suddenly cause people to start buying android tablets. The android tablet problems are far more fundamental than 'not being motivated to figure out how to use the market.'

I was going to say, it sure seems like News Corp beating the old drum.
only a small handful from the list you gave is actually none-contributing.

The 60% of the people that derive income from gov't handouts are leeching off those who do actually work - tell me how that is fair? Disabled people/old people are dependants, but they not a majority, and as for children, they _will_ create value when they grow up. I m talking about abled bodied people who choose to get a gov't handout instead of doing work to sustain their own life. The world would be better off if those people weren't given handouts.
nice job, but you might want to optimize your landing page. Some of the images you are using are way too big, bloated css and js. I had to download 1.72MB just to view this page. Other than that this looks like a great product.
Ah. They're related historically. 1930's.

Note that I did specifically mention that I was only talking about this one way of streamlining the immigration process and that I agree with you on the whole. But I think perception of your point will be marred by mention of IQ as a criterion. Look it up.
I thought G+ would be the first "non-evil" social networking site... until everything happened over the past year since it's launch. Google is betting the farm on the importance of social data for advertising, and it's disappointing to see them so desperate (when it's still considerably early in the race).

To be honest, I don't think Google even needs a social networking. They will be the kings of search, youtube, and email for the foreseeable future, and that's certainly enough to rake in billions in profit.
But why would I buy someone (let alone someone I don't know well) an Android Market gift card? It has a high probability of being useless to them.

Unless there's something I'm not seeing - there's a chicken & egg problem here.

I can't say much without violating some NDA or another, but I'd check that assumption. Industrial robotics are anything but cheap, and remember, you're stacking them up against near-minimum wage laborers who have little to no benefits and you only pay for them when they're utilized.

Tumblr and other blogging platforms integrate into Facebook, and can drive a ton of traffic to your long-form content from there with short story previews or thumbnails. It's not the most seamless transition, but the functionality exists
1) I dont believe being a "consumer" can by itself have any value

2) The real question is, whether the left over capacity could be put to better use, instead of keeping alive those not pulling their weight (when they could've). Would science and tech be that much more advanced because there'd be money to put into research and development? Would infrastructure be better because money isn't "wasted" on people who otherwise make no contributions? Sure, morally, you gotta help those in need. But a line ought to be drawn - people who could otherwise have worked, shouldn't be given free handouts just because the enocomy of the country _could support them_.

A social network that's been around for majority of a decade has more users and interaction than one that hasn't even hit a year of age?
</sarcasm>

All joking aside, this article really doesn't offer much to drive its point. Google+ to me has become indispensable, I go to it to discover new things and interact with other people who share interests with me. Not to find the same friends I have on Facebook. Comparing the level of engagement on the two sites really isn't fair as they happen completely differently. On Facebook, people post to their friends (primarily) whereas at Google+ you are encouraged to share selectively to your circles, which means that there's an active mix of posting privately and publicly.
Right, because the vast majority of Tumblr users actually use it as a long-form content site rather than an evolution of chain emails? Who's to say that Google won't open API's that allow you to do the same on Google+?
My question is - is anyone gaming it. For example, were I to suggest that I was working on "InstaPaper for PDFs... with kindle sync and an ipad app" how quickly would I hear about other "copycat" versions with crowdsourced recommendations or lulu tie-ins or some other variation?

Expand Your Mobile Business with Android Development 
In the market of mobile phone the demand of android phone is become in efficient demand. Android is a one type of handheld open source operating system which controls mobile devices such as Mac OS, Windows, or Linux. First of all android is developed by Android Inc. Now a day, in the platform of mobile application development, android has very large and demanded market.

Microsoft Research shows Holoflector - a blended reality mirror
To me there's parallel's here to Windows Phone (and Microsoft in general). Positive reviews keep coming in, the company makes aggressive forecasts, yet the phone doesn't sell. There's a disconnect between what Microsoft thinks and what's actually happening. I'd use the exact same word as Marco and say that it seems that Microsoft hopes to will the product to succeed (and, admittedly, the Nokia deal might just do that).

It's dangerous to be disillusioned because you never correct the problem. In Microsoft's case, it seems largely driven by a lack of vision and serious branding issues. I don't know what the deal with Google is, but they might simply believe in their own greatness too much at this point.

There are countless examples of not realizing how bad your products are, but GM and RIM are probably the most dramatic to me.

My own experience is that RAII has been very useful in low-level work when used to capture cleanup/finalization. Results in fewer if-statements and SLOC.

Issues of real-time performance and new vs malloc vs in-place/nothrow new also seem like orthogonal concerns here. The larger problem is that yahoo who's using the wrong algorithm and/or maintaining driver code w/o benefit of code review ;)
The solution to that is to put a lot more ideas out. There really isn't a shortage of ideas, only a shortage of people to implement them.

The problem then becomes that some ideas might not turn a profit fast enough.

The solution to that is to use the fake landing page method or the kickstart/indiegogo to have the market decide for you what to build.
Dear framework/library authors: please, please take 30 sec to write two sentences that describes why your library exists, and why I would want to use it instead of the alternatives. (Note: "I made this for myself and you probably shouldn't use it" is perfect acceptable.)

I do like what I see here, but the number of Node.js modules and frameworks keeps exploding, and picking amongst them is becoming more and more difficult.
But what was that effect? If you don't determine the causality of Android phones' success, then its hard to apply it to Android tablets. For example, John Gruber speculated today that the reason Android phones have been successful is that when people go to a carrier retail store to get a phone, they get handed an Android (not because they want an Android). Thus, the Android tablet market won't act similarly.

Now, you might disagree with Gruber. That's perfectly reasonable. But his post is illustrative: if you can't state more clearly why Android phones have been successful, you can't state with confidence the same effect will apply to tablets.

My question is whether Sweden pays a higher price for oil (ignoring taxes) than the US, not whether the US attempts to keep oil prices low.

None of your links address the question I actually asked.

If Iraqi oil is fully exploited, I agree this will result in lower oil prices. But oil prices are set by the global market - the price Sweden pays = global price + shipping cost, same as the US.

Nokia Announces 41 MP Phone
"right now, the mobile carriers don’t matter nearly as much in the tablet space as they do in the smartphone space." http://parislemon.com/post/18390218572/winning-duh

Furthermore, the Android customers might think of their smartphone as just a phone and not care much about the "smart" part, whereas they want a standarized tablet which runs the same software as their friends' tablets. If you buy an iPad, you'll know that all of your software runs on the next iPad you buy. You don't do that with all the Android tablets, you don't even know if you can buy one with the same screen size next year.

If I'm a company or school and I have to buy tablets and software and education of employees/teachers, I want to know that the tablets I buy in 2-3-4 years time will run the same software that I invest in today. So the iPad could get the same 'monopoly' as MS Windows had in the 90'ies.

Very few programmers spring fully-formed into kernel-level hackers. The correct place to filter is at the code level, not the person level. The 'right' people have the ability to change their approach until the code passes the filter.
Here are my thoughts (in a stream of consciousness kind of way), the 2nd time I go to your site ordered by line. Beware, I may come off as harsh.

"Easier Way to Work" gives me no visual what 'Open-Collar' does.

When I think of the name 'Open-Collar' I think of someone getting relaxed (opening the top/2ndmost button on their collar).

What does it do?

That vision ("We're here to change how the world works") is really vague and I still don't know what you guys do.

I like the font.

You ask me to request an invite, but I still don't know what it does.

I'm extremely skeptical of any service claiming to be like Facebook in any way.

Why would I want another social network?

I'm not going to read what the feature does, I really don't care.

I don't think you copied the 'sign a card to request an invite' well from other people.

The "Send Message" button looks off.
Sorry I can't really parse what you wrote.

$20000~$60000 is not $1. The article explicitly states that they're withdrawing from Pwn2Own because of a new disclosure policy on exploits.

Am I missing something? The last I heard about VUPEN & chrome at pwn2own was like a year ago, and they weren't going to tell details on the exploits to anyone but the government. Though I always assumed that latter part was conspiracy theory, didn't think much of it...
I think it's meant to be different, not better (or at least that is how it is right now). It allows the follower model of Twitter but with the long form post ability (+profiles/photos) of Facebook. For me they are all best used separately: Facebook for friends & family; twitter for news/content that won't instigate discussions; Google+ for blog post style content and discussions.
Are you implying that Android phones are now "winning"? Apple makes over 75% of profits on smartphone sales and Android manufacturers are paying licensing fees to Microsoft. If your measurement of winning is market share, then, sure...but I think most people agree that's pretty meaningless (1)

Furthermore, the more I think about it, the more I think Nokia+WP7 will be a big player in the emerging/low end market and could potentially pinch Android. So, I think it bodes poorly for Google if Android on tablet today is where Android on phones were a few years ago.

There is certain fallacy in that. I've never met a person who has ever thought he would like to mooch off welfare or what have you forever, or even a short amount of time. There are barriers that are difficult to see for many middle class people to see. The choice between welfare and work for many people is not between a welfare and a cubicle writing java code, but between welfare and humiliating treatment or backbreaking work in a restaurant/factory.

If you phrase it this way, I can agree with some of your points. I think, more than "allowing people to become rich", I would state "respect and recognition of private property" a an important philosophical factor to enable economic growth. As of today, I have yet to hear about societies where "everything belongs to everyone" ending up being economically successful. So that might be one trait leading to success or improvement.

As for the free movement of goods, I know there is no country in the world following pure free market policies. Therefore it is also unfair to judge free market based on the numerous imperfect application of its principles. Note, however, that we do have examples of societies working well without central government, such as the early days of the "Wild West" societies in the US. Those societies were basically growing at an exponential rate at the time with an ongoing flow of immigrants, while managing to self-control and police themselves. The book "The Not so Wild Wild West" explains this point very well, if you are interested to read about this.

One last thing. Obviously not every country has to follow either free market or end up like Cuba, however there is a clear trend: when a society decides to indulge in welfare and collectivism, it almost never goes back and ends up going bankrupt and ruining everyone. I do not know how familiar you are with the current situation in Europe, but over the past 30 years you could see the trend of massive public debt (fueled by government intervention in all aspects of private life) growing and growing over time. And now you get Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain, close to bankrupcy. Hardly a coincidence.

Container of pointers is not exactly what STL containers are about, and smart pointers is a big can of worms in themselves as I'm sure you know.

Another angle to consider is this - if container control elements (like list_head) are stored in the actual data items, they are effectively pre-allocated, meaning that inserting an item into the container involves no heap activity, and this helps simplifying the (error handling) code quite a bit. I mean... all in all, even it seems hacky, it is a more elegant idea. STL to C-style containers is what Java is to C++ - something with all fun drained from it :)
We're doing selective rendering with MapBox Light, which is deeper in cities. For this, it's better to have always-there zoom levels. Otherwise you grapple with the deep, deep problem of someone panning from a high-zoom area to a low one, or using an API like Leaflet programmed to zoom to a level. Unless you control the API and have a zoom-depth-api like Google, having a map with highly variable max zooms isn't an easy call.
