I see the main problem not being the corporatism so much as the emphasis on rather messianic speakers, who stake out stark, very strong claims with few caveats, and claim a giant revolution is happening or imminent.

There's something interesting about that, so perhaps the argument should be against people who watch only TED talks, not about TED existing; it's one way to get one style of information. But it definitely is one style of information; it's a world in which AI researchers are represented by Ray Kurzweil, technology theorists by Clay Shirky, videogames by Gabe Zichermann, etc.
Meh, some TED talks are good, some are bad, they got watered down as the years went on. C'est la vie

37Signals previews its fresh, new UI for Basecamp
There is no "Proceed Anyway" option. That would make it just another Button-That-I-Have-To-Click-To-Get-What-I-Want dialog that are so pervasive on Windows. The options are "Don't mount the DMG" and "Don't mount the DMG and throw that mofo straight into the trash".

If Apple is consistent with their past behaviour and their uncanny understanding of user psychology, setting the "Allow all unsigned programs to execute" option in System Preferences won't add a "Proceed Anyway" button - it'll just suppress this dialog altogether.
No. We need to get rid of governments and courts like these. If we mask the problem we'll never solve it, and as long as governments and laws like these exist, we aren't safe.
I agree. I wonder what kind of telecom market entrance Apple could make with $100 Billion?

I don't think any of these things are apt comparisons to what Gruber does. In narrative journalism, the author includes personal details that add something to the story or reveal a greater truth about whatever they're writing. Gruber, on the other hand, just wants you to know how cool he is.
I had a similar thought, but from watching the video it appears that the sheet metaphor is just that: they aren't modal popup/overs, but separate pages, just with the page layering as a part of the design. how that interacts with pushState I don't know, but it seems significant to notice that they aren't just a series of overlayers but distinct pages. I wonder if they're going to tie this together with their recent "static pages site" so as to either cache or memorialize via conversion to statics, or as a performance hack. In Rails, something like:

Twitter open sourcing bootstrap just made the whole web better. Open source projects especially. Projects like https://github.com/dcramer/sentry benefitted a lot from bootstrap.

As important as it can be to keep the model of the system you are building in "ram", it is actually more important to allow your brain to digest and process new information with genuine downtime. The way I approach it is to "pulse" through the day with absolutely uninterrupted programming sessions of 1-2 hours interspersed with 20-30 minute breaks to allow time to digest. It is extremely important to maintain focus in the "on" times and not to feed new information into the wetware during the "off" times. For me, this required quitting reddit completely and limiting other news feed and communication quite drastically. The other key factor is to start your day producing instead of consuming (read about it here, as a matter of fact). Makes a surprising difference in your mindset.

The end result? I can sustain a solid hours 8+ hours a day of real engineering for 5-6 days a week without running too serious a risk of the burnout you describe whereas before I would be lucky to manage 3-4.

The problem with iWork is interoperability with MS Office. I recently got my parents set up with a new iMac and had them buy iWork instead of MS Office. They quickly switched back to MS Office after getting frustrated at having to export their Pages docs as Word docs every time instead of saving, and dealing with formatting loss when importing from Doc into Pages.

iWork is a much better and more user-friendly set of software than MS Office (unless you're an Excel power-user, in which case the OS X version of Excel probably isn't cutting it for you either), but it's tough to recommend it for non-technical people who need to work with Windows folk.
It's not a warning, it's a verdict. There's no button to "proceed anyway".
I remember reading somewhere that they /did/ try to build some of the iphone 1.0 apps as something akin to dashboard widgets and found that the hardware just wasn't quite up to the task, and they were forced to build them as native apps for performance reasons. This says to me that ideologically, they were convinced that the osx dashboard widget method of development was the way to go, but the reality of mobile hardware, combined with their even stronger ideology of responsive user experience made them go native.

I have similar feeling. Heck, invention of farming have caused many the hunters and gatherers to lose their jobs!

I can't believe how "taking away jobs" sort of argument against technological advancement keeps showing up over and over, despite being refuted every time.
Likelihood is they haven't accepted any patches, and if they have they would have been very small and minor.

Additionally, something can trivially be both open-source and non-standard and vendor specific. With the amount of Chrome specific code in Dartium, it might as well be proprietary.
"As a life-long open source enthusiast who has been pragmatic around the existence and use of propriety systems"

If you're boycotting Apple over this, you're no longer being pragmatic, you're being fanatic. Yes, Apple has closed platforms (iOS, iTunes, Mac App Store), but they aren't adding Macs to that list or doing anything else objectionable yet. If you were ok, you should still be. Macs are, and will continue to be, awesome Unix workstations that you can run whatever you want on.

Apple also has nothing to gain from completely closing off OS X. It would destroy their developer base and be really bad PR, with only potentially a bit of added revenue (and Apple is anything but financially desperate).

If you're pissed that Apple is merely capable of acting unethically, and you're going to boycott them because of that, then don't call yourself "pragmatic".
If Google wanted a second language on Android, they'd have it by now. Either golang or JS+V8 (possibly out-of-browser) would have been fine choices. As well, Dart's stated goal is "structured web programming", and parts of it's design are constrained by the need to run within the browser and compile down to JS. Imposing those same restrictions on Android development would be counterproductive.
And that, IMO, is the biggest argument for shrinking it. When the left hand can't even see the right hand, it's too big.

I think one of the main issues with liability here isn't the expected loss - I would be extremely surprised if driverless cars weren't much safer than ones with drivers, at least once the major kinks are worked out - it's the correlation between accidents. Currently, accidents happen more or less at random; when controlled by software, a bunch of cars might go berserk at once, bankrupting an insurance company in a fit of bad zeroes and ones.
Sure, the problem was installing gfortran, which (as I recall) requires the real gcc. I suspect (though I never did figure out what exactly was wrong) that some sort of a library conflict with xcode's gcc was responsible. As this package is still not the real gcc (they don't want gpl v3 I believe) anyone who wants eg. gfortran will still need a separate installation.
So is Apple's CA the only way to sign these? Or signing the DMG is a well known process using any cert? Just curious... coz if it's Apple only, then this sounds like payola for being able to run on OS X.
She could have been using a debit card. I got one with my first bank account when I was 15.
I'm just concerned that Google (being both the origin of Dart and a prominent developer of webapps) will spend most of their development time writing Dart apps running on their Dart VM and slowly begin to neglect (remember, doesn't necessarily have to be malicious) the performance of their JS output.
Yes, I just remembered and walked back to the computer to delete the thread :-)
Teenagers probably have a bank account. If not a credit card, then it's likely a debit card from a bank.

But really, why not have a credit card? If she's not building debt, I don't see a problem with having one.
Good point. Changed it to "select photos." Thanks.
I'm not disagreeing with having a credit card; I just didn't think anyone would give one to you if you were under 18.
So the Forbes article does little but paraphrase the NYT article, and then includes the typical array of Facebook and Twitter "Share This!" links at the bottom.

Open source is not a specification. Imagine if JavaScript was specified as "what SpiderMonkey does". Then there's the issue that Google didn't make many friends by letting the other browser vendors in the dark until they had a more or less finished product. As a consequence the language has some rather questionable design decisions like the much discussed covariant array issue as well as purely syntactic ones. Additionally I'm rather sure that some browser vendors (especially Mozilla and Microsoft) are not so thrilled having to import and integrate a code base into their own products which is solely controlled by Google.
I have an idea, how about you add a feature, opt-in where you track the searches I do, and then do again with an added !g, at which point, store those in a list where I can go back and add feedback to each one where I got improved google searches, Or the ability to leave up a DDG feedback window when I do those searches. If you make it easy for me to give you feedback, I'll give you limitless amounts of it.
I too would be interested in a CS equivalent of those resources.

Also, thanks for that first link! That could be useful to prepare myself for 6.002x.
this is one of the reasons I've been finding myself paying with cash more and more. While this seems fairly benign at first glance its becoming rather disturbing how much data is being collected and analyzed about consumers. In some ways I'm for stricter privacy laws like those in the EU.
yeah me too, you can get a debit card with a visa logo at pretty much any age as far as I can tell
In the U.S. it is illegal to offer credit to anyone under the age of 18 as they cannot legally enter into contracts. It would be a huge liability for a credit card company as the contract for credit (and thus right to request repayment) would essentially never be valid, although presumably they could go after the person's legal guardians for payment.
I'm very pleasantly surprised by this. I've always been a bit cynical about Basecamp's success, but I think this new version is going to be a genuine game-changer.

I really love the sheets idea and I'll love seeing how it works out. I'm already thinking about how I could apply the idea to e-commerce sites, hopefully the interaction isn't patented.

Thinking about it now, I am wondering about a potential limitation. Sheets make sense when you have a fairly consistent starting point, ie the project overview page. But what if you're given a link to say an individual ticket? Do the sheets build up from that ticket as a starting point, rather than the project page, or do they reflect the hierarchy of the site? If it's the later, does that not mean that loading a deep page in the site is burdened by having to also load its parent pages? I assume it would be handled asynchronously, but it still seems like a lot of overhead.
This looks fantastic! Integrating different services is usually such a pain. Been waiting for something like this for a long time.
That's amazing, thank you. This would make me want to use redis for everything, if I weren't already using it for everything.
File manager as a developer tool... The very idea makes me want to chase somebody off my lawn, but it does sound plausible. Every time I work with an application that insists on managing things on its own, I can't help but ask "but where _are_ the files??". I guess there is this notion that files are what's "real" in an otherwise ephemeral system. They are what you run, they are what you store your pictures in, they are what you recover from a busted harddrive.

Normal users seem to be very comfortable with the idea of unspecified magic though.
If my app were to do something nefarious, my developer ID would get revoked and that would be the end of that.

Sure, but this strikes me as naïve. It can take less than being nefarious to get booted off of a service (like having an Apple developer ID) like having a corporation or government agency filing a potentially unfounded complaint against you (as we've seen with YouTube videos and, this very week, Jotform's Web site.)

The problem I have with Gatekeeper isn't in the pleasant, straightforward scenario Apple wraps into its copy. The problem is giving a corporation direct control over whose apps can and cannot work on a computer by default is a set up for some depressing abuse stories that can only be rectified by turning off security or performing UI acrobatics.
GCC for iPhone

This article boils down to three main points:

1) Companies are better understanding customer psychology, especially when it comes to making purchases. Both understanding habit formation and probing receptiveness to marketing messaging are included in this bucket.

2) Companies are better able to draw correlations between pieces of known data. It's always easy to say at a 30,000 ft level that when it rains, more umbrellas will be sold; now those correlations are at the individual customers level.

3) Companies are betting linking together the understanding of customer psychology and the correlations of various customer actions, to improve their marketing. They can look for actions that cue them into what behavior status a potential customer is currently experiencing, and market with a highly targeted message.

All three of these points are ones that web companies have been working on many many years. There are certainly many more insights to unlock there, but what's particularly at the fore-front of data mining is the application of these three points to brick & mortar retailers, where data has traditionally been harder to collect and understand.
You're spot on. If you make it about "what's in it for the reader or prospective customer", their receptivity and reaction to it will be much better. That is in stark contrast to "here's why we're great" emails which are the norm.

The ultimate user of this is Amazon who recommend you stuff based on what you've looked at or bought.

I think TylerE maybe in the vocal minority here (no disrespect TylerE) but the type of customized "what's in it for you" email your talking about works. And many users who are looking to make their lives easier actually may appreciate it.
"You should move it to the Trash"? What kind of crap is that? Apple is going down the terrorism route to make sure developers pay them to join the walled garden?

Awesome, your next submission should be Show HN: This App I made over the weekend. :-)

You can build it with Corona [1] pretty easily, even if you haven't done much programming they have excellent tutorials. Then spin up either and AppEngine instance or EC2 instance to handle registration and its good to go. Do it for one of the Disrupt hackathons and maybe win a prize even.

How to recover Root on your AWS instances
What you are saying is true, however it is a rather messy solution. Assuming that the next AppleTV will support 1080p output you could not just mirror your screen to get the best quality. The source film is in 1080p, gets scaled down to screen res. which is transmitted to the AppleTV and then gets scaled up to 1080p again - resulting in a easily visible quality loss.

I hope they treat the screen as a "second screen" which is mirrored...

Yup, I agree. Also, with the news of Mountain Lion today, I've been worried about how much Apple will continue making OS X a platform that any developer can innovate on. This story has re-affirmed that further for me. Awesome!

It's an error to simply transfer "it works for music" to "it works for everything". That it works for music is largely because sharing media files is verboten in our Brave New World - sharing is not a problem that needs to be solved there. But sharing non-media files between users is not an exceptional case, not even remotely - it's common as muck in business.

The idea that the 'normal' user is only a home-based casual web-browser/photo-taker/music listener is misleading from the outset.
I doubt it is patented.

I agree that GP overstated the problem, but I think you understate it. The USPTO systematically and recklessly grants patents that should not be issued.
While I can't say much bad about Gatekeeper (yet), I can't help but feel this article is a bit scare-mongery (" As Macs enjoy increased popularity, they become a more attractive target to identity thieves and other criminals. Sooner or later, bad people ruin every nice thing. It’s an immutable law of humanity.")
And I think the author takes a scary turn, in that he grows used to the loving walls of the closed garden. Just the quote("You can let anything run on your system, whether or not it is signed. This is the Mac OS of today. It’s like having a jailbroken iPhone.") makes it feel like a walled garden of ios is the norm, not a computer where you have full root access, and undoubtedly, that kind of sentence has the average computer user thinking "omg!, you mean my computer is out in the wild, just like a jailbroken phone, that sounds dangerous!". If this starts to become the prevailing viewpoint, it's lights out, free and open world.
