I reset Safari on OSX frequently, and do the same with Chrome.

On iOS I run Safari in private browsing mode all the time. Not really to auto-delete cookies (it does that), but because if you have a history of websites and you start typing in the address bar, it attempts to auto-complete the URIs, which freezes Safari for a second, and delays keyboard inputting. Apple doesn't have a time-delay of 1-2 seconds after the previous keystroke, so its auto-complete is really annoying and slows down/breaks the UI. Bookmarks have to be empty too to work.

That said, private-mode iOS Safari crashes a whole lot more than non-private mode. This usually happens on newspaper websites (UI hell) when all of the ad network and javascript widget garbage attempt to load. If you hit Stop-Loading after the article text is loaded, but before that other crap does, it fixes the problem. Funny, but disabling Javascript seems to crash more than leaving it on, but on different websites, likely for different reasons.

Mozilla is willing to break html5 video for all intents and purposes because h264 isn't open enough (but this oddly helps Google) and allow third party cookies by default of reasons that make no sense (but this oddly helps Google) and it gets it's money from... Oh that's weird.
I think some examples of actual strings that the RegEx (in section 0.2) actually does match would be quite instructive.

Also, I think word problems develop an essential skill, namely mapping new problems (described usually in natural language) to mathematical concepts using the symbols. Problems come first, the neat symbolic form comes way after and generally the main problem is mapping a vague problem description to a concrete description using the symbolic language provided by mathematical notation.

The following concepts are lacking:

- generics
- enumerations (the iota thing feels like a poor man's enums)
- operators as method names
- lack of exceptions leads sometimes to ugly defer/recover patterns
- some data types are special like maps, as you cannot implement similar types yourself
You can use precisely the same arguments to denigrate demotic script versus hieroglyphs, and say that anyone who thinks writing complex pictures is too difficult a way to express themselves is just whining.

I'm not taking a position on the argument expressed in the article; I'm merely noting that your argument is so infinitely applicable (even recursively applicable, back every step of every path of technological and notational improvement) that it is effectively useless as a way to determine the best path to follow.

that's correct. You basically end up serving your content to crawlers dressed up in html. it's not very hard to do but it presents quite a challenge. We already do this for blogs where we serve alternate content for rss readers which is an apple and oranges comparison, however the idea is more or less the same. The takeaway is that there is a way to serve alternate content to search engines and it involves following an ajax crawling scheme.

Are you suggesting you allow the client-side JS app to call directly against the Postgres DB or is there another approach you had in mind?

Almost directly. The JS frontend calls something like mod_libpq¹, or a very simple node.js "proxy". Something that just gets incoming http requests, executes stored procedures and sends back the response. A reverse proxy between the JS client and Postgres. That proxy can be very generic and reused between applications. All logic would live in the db.

I tend to agree with him, and I really don't call that a double standard. Apple is not really in the business of collecting data about people for showing them targeted ads, but Google is (it's their primary source of revenue). So, when something iPhone's cell tower location tracking happened, I think the probability of Apple telling the truth (it was a mistake) is much greater than the opposite.

Google, Facebook and many other companies are different though. Collecting data is their primary source of revenue (unlike Apple & Microsoft that sell hardware and software).

I had exactly the same problem with my daughter (now 3 years old). She grew up playing with an iPhone and an iPad. The TV was broken in two ways:

1. Touching the screen (and swiping) didn't do anything.

2. The concept of having to wait until a specific time to see a show was completely alien.

The diplomatic push may work, but the military arguments are erroneous. I anything the balance of power is far more slanted against Argentina whose military is pretty much in tatters right now (I heard an estimate on NPR that they can barely get six aircraft off the ground).

"In 2001, the Argentine economy effectively imploded due to the collapse of the Argentine peso. The Argentine military proved incapable of surviving the negative aftershocks of a then broken policy of defending the peso at all costs. Since then, the military’s annual budget sank becoming a fraction of what it was in the past. Salaries were cut throughout the ranks. The size of the armed forces not only had to be reduced, but in many cases equipment had to be sold on the black market in order for military units to meet their daily expenses. According to Military Technology, the current strength of the Argentine military is about 68,000 troops."

Ember.js Lunch Talk at Carbon Five [video]
Agreed on DSL. I actually used Tiny Core at work recently, and was pleasantly surprised at the ease of use and customization. Although only power-users would seek to customize it, it is certainly far easier than modifying Arch Linux or the like. It is particularly excellent for netbooting.
I think in this situation, it's a question of intent. I don't think anyone has suggested that Apple was trying to do anything other than make it easy for you to acquire GPS lock by saving your location information, and the long backup history was an oversight. In the case of Google bypassing your browser security - it was clearly not a case of oversight - they went to a lot of effort to deliberately override the browser intent.

One was an error of incompetence, the other was willful.

I get the sense that there's two levels of understanding for most mathematics: a superficial level where you just have to manipulate symbols and be comfortable applying rules, and a deeper level where you grasp the underlying relationships and some fundamental 'why' of the problem. I used to think that if you were bad at the first, then the second would be an even tougher challenge. But I'm starting to suspect that actually people who are good at the first often just don't care about the second. And in fact it might be the very need for things to 'make sense' to you on a deeper level that is causing discomfort and difficulty at the superficial level. Some people lack curiosity about the deeper relationships, and perversely this might actually help them get along at the superficial level.

For instance in finance, why is Macaulay duration(1) approximately equal to effective duration? One measures time in years, the other measures sensitivity in percentage form. How the heck do they come out at the same number approximately? For some reason i can't find any literature that's in a rush to explain this relationship... even though the two measures share the name 'duration' so presumably there's some intuitive understanding to be reached.

@sliverstorm:

I am not convinced that biochemistry determines behavior differences as much as many biologists would like to think. There are cases where it does, of course, but on the whole our bodies are organic systems which learn behaviors based on external stimuli. One important source of that stimuli is culture, which also includes things like language. Physical environment provides another set of stimuli. And just because one thing seems more natural doesn't preclude other societies from doing things differently.

For example Arnold van Gennep, the early Dutch anthropologist, spent a fair bit of space talking about the Todas in India which until reasonably recently practised polyandry. When you start looking at how polyandry was implemented in their culture, you can see clearly what problems they had to solve, and hence why polyandry is generally far more rare than polygyny.

For example, if a woman has multiple husbands, then there is a question as to who is the socially recognized father. The Todas handled this through a series of rituals where the woman could select one of her husbands as the father of her children (regardless of having sexual relations with other of her husbands), and could re-assign that role going forward (i.e. for children born after the ritual, which she could only do while pregnant) if she so chose.

Our biological systems are largely secondary to social inputs, I think. There are imperatives and some of those have biological origins. However, it's way too easy to assign too much responsibility to biology and too little to culture.

Hashbangs are just a hack while we are waiting for the browsers of the world to all support push state. It is easy to use, well supported, and works really well. What twitter was saying is that in a public, content based app like theirs, the trade off of using that hack is not worth it, so they are moving to push state, and degrading to a worse experience for browsers that don't support it. Twitter isn't an argument against js apps, it is an argument against js hacks to provide fancy functionality to old browsers.

What I'd love to see is a set up where I log into any computer and my stuff is all right there. Say I borrow your iPhone to do some stuff. Instead of using your setup, I log in and all my apps are right there. Some run from the swrver, some get pushed to the phone and used locally if that's more efficient. Let's call it client & server, anywhere you go computing, or something like that.

A client & server setup probably means that you buy access to a mobile carrier's calling/data plan that isn't attached to a data plan. You buy a handset, tablet, laptop, yada yada that is a standalone device or use one at the local Internet cafe. A set of standards are put in place for how code runs on a client and server. Your data may remain on a client, but ideally is stored entirely in the cloud, too. The cloud data is encrypted.and can't be accessed without your permission.

This is my dream and I'd be surprised if I'm the first one to think of it.

Goodbye, Android (and hello, Nokia)
While you're right in the general sense that children get surprised when they discover a world that isn't like their home, I firmly believe you're wrong in the applicability of that to TV.

Thanks to BBC iPlayer, we've had near-universal internet video on demand in the UK for some years now - and the other broadcasters had to copy to catch up. I largely stopped bothering with TV schedules; I just watch the programs at my convenience, from a menu of content - it's a far superior user experience in almost every way. In browsing UK profiles on dating sites, I've noted huge numbers of people saying they don't have TVs and just use iPlayer.

When I was young I used to react with incredulity to the idea that homes didn't have TVs and cars in the past. I remember the incredulity to which some children reacted when I took a photo on my film SLR and they couldn't see it on the back. Landline phones are already dying - children will react with horror that we used to ring a building and hope a person was in it.

And, within the next ten years, scheduled network broadcast TV will, to all intents and purposes, die. Rolling news and live sports have a reason to be live and I suspect will stay. Otherwise, I expect in 20 years time to be getting baffled looks from children to the idea that we used to have to wait to all watch a program at the exact same time and if we couldn't see it then we didn't see it. They'll all be have grown up with streaming VoD to tablets and TVs and anything else will feel as antiquated as a horse and cart.
It was a bit of a link bait title, ironically rails is still probably the best serverside framework to write the kind of app he is advocating (just ignore the view bits). It is more that we need a "next evolutionary step" in how frameworks work to make writing rich client apps easier.

The problem is that it's as pointless to disallow using a pinterest extension as it is to intercept right-clicks. Anyone can still capture/copy the image and share it trough other means. That's the reason photographers' websites seldomly feature hi-res images and plaster watermarks all over.

Pinterest might be doing attribution wrong (I don't know, I don't use it), but this doesn't fix it. Nothing stops me from taking a screenshot of a Flickr page and sharing it on twitter. Isn't that fair use? Anyone can see the same page already. Pinterest just became a tool that annoys you because of other people's paranoia with copyright infringement, just like a DVD player that only read Zone 4 discs, the iPod disallowing grabbing songs from it, or the aforementioned right-click popup saying "This content is copyrighted". It's stupid. I can't believe how different the attitude is here in contrast to other stories on music and DRM, it's like a totally different crowd.

It's unrealistic to expect EverNote, pinboard and every other software that clips web comtent to "respect wishes". Should audio recorders listen for signatures that disallow the recording of copyrighted audio? Cameras refusing to take pictures inside art venues (I've heard that one)? I don't know about you, but I don't want to live in that world.

> nor is there any provision preventing them from making it as difficult as they can

Whilst that might be accurate in the detail of the law, it appears to contain something basically malfunctional.

It seems to render the law effectively meaningless. If you are actually prevented from doing something, what has happened to your right to be allowed to? If there were public rights-of-way across someone's farmland, but they built walls around it, there would seem to be some kind of problem. (Or maybe a better example would be a visibility-cloaking device that made it look like there was a wall -- is that prevention, or just making things less easy? Does that make it OK?)

If the letter of the law supports the frustration of the intent of the law, something is wrong, surely.

I'm not saying it was or wasn't easy to use or learn, but I've had a few people tell me that it was never promoted as such by Rails proponents, only that it was a "better" way.

Again, my memory tells me that supporters at the time promoted it as easy as well, but I'm not finding much particular support material from 2006 on Rails (perhaps my google/archive-fu needs work).

Very interesting question. Do you have a list of TW/WB's acquisitions? Based on Wikipedia, Castle Rock and New Line look like the most interesting studios to analyze.
Actually the BBC had it's remit massively widened by the last government so that it had to fill sections of DAB, a large amount of Radio channels, Freeview, set up iPlayer and run a whole load of channels that aren't even targeted at the UK (such as BBC Persian), largely to meet the FCO's propaganda needs. Additionally, the dodgy dossier episode has emasculated and distorted large chunks of the BBC's programming leading to some completely bizarre side effects[1].

The BBC still does produce a large amount of quality progamming, but budgets and purposes have been affected. Top Gear for example used to be about cars but is now an entertainment show - a wildly successful entertainment show, but no longer something you'd seriously watch to get an idea of what cars to buy and what to avoid. The BBC is also responsible for the One Show, which one day will be recognised by the UN as a crime against humanity. There's also been considerable dumbing down of shows like the Apprentice and Dragon's Den over time, eschewing quality in favour of personalities and entertainment. The natural history unit still put out good documentaries, but even they're not entirely untarnished[2].

The quality of news has also suffered, particularly thanks to spin doctors in previous administrations, the simon gilligan dodgy dossier affair and other stresses on the BBC. When was the last time you saw a proper debate? The other week I saw Alastair Campbell jogging around forests, talking up the end of civilisation through alcoholic poisoning brought on by drinking at home, demanding minimum pricing as the only way out but completely ignoring the impact of the smoking ban as a factor in home drinking increases. It was a terrible attempt at a documentary and a case study in what's wrong with the BBC at the moment.

I do apologise for getting on my soap box about this, you didn't deserve it for pointing out the good stuff. Still, the BBC is not a perfect organisation and the amount of media it has to produce combined with political interference has meant that quality has dropped, perhaps not as much considering the volume of material it puts out, but it isn't immune.
