My guess is that many executives at competing companies think just like this: Apple just sells "slightly prettier" laptops at a premium. So they give their designers the job of making the products "slightly prettier", and then they are surprised when these products fail to compete with Apple.

it does keep costs lower, but there's nowhere else in the world that has the capacity to create the igadgets at such volume. foxconn creates about 50% of the worlds electronics (source:mike daisy's "agony and ecstasy of steve jobs - should probably be double checked)

either way, they don't have an options of another place to build the devices because of capacity reasons.

Check my other posts, I'm in no way arguing that Apple ignores profits. I don't think they do.

I'm arguing they pay attention to profits and that it's in the best interests of their customers that they continue to do so.
Perhaps a better comparison would be the Apple Store's $400 price tag for 8GB RAM modules when you can get it for around $100 normally. I don't think the "customer service" is worth $300.

True enough, but there is a reason why OpenLDAP's performance is atrocious when run with an SQL back-end.

My own viewpoint is that there are cases where the relational model really offers very little of benefit and a lot in terms of cost, but that these are far more narrower than the NoSQL guys suggest. I see NoSQL at its best being a niche tool.

Remember with NoSQL, there's one answer when your customer say "can I tweak this report?" NoSQL? Answer is "No!" of course!

Yes they do. Trademarks are a form of intellectual property, and expire if not maintained/fought.

Likewise most countries do not have absolute property rights. Squatters have rights. The government can compulsary purchase property for the public interest. Why is "copyright property" treated specially than normal property?

I agree with your logic & deduction. I wonder if this is a problem with the first global copyright treaty? The Bern Convention of 1886. Maybe it's time to roll back that?

Maybe this is being ignored for simplicity, or I am way off the mark.

manage it in such a way that the publisher is involved in the process and has ultimate approval over a digitized version?

Is that not what we have now? Publishers have final say about whether or not to enter a market? If not, how am I wrong? If I'm right then this system (which is the current one) is broken.

The solution is to not have markets. Have a market. One global market.
Whenever anyone talks about copyright and piracy they seem to include a sop "Obviously I'm not against piracy and don't support breaking the law". Why do they always do that.

Movie Hacking vs. Real Hacking
Isha Live video | shivaratri Live streaming
"Apple is in the process of disrupting itself right now .... Most companies cannot bring themselves to make decisions that result in the market for their existing core products being completely destroyed".

First of all, I'm pretty sure the notebook market is not being completely destroyed by tablets. Yeah, tablets are blowing up, and yeah, notebook sales are probably taking a hit, but lets be real. This claim is grossly exaggerated to the point that it is just not true. The notebook market has not been destroyed.

And disrupting itself? Really? Identifying a new product that has the potential to be hugely successful and profitable while possibly taking a small slice out the sales of an existing product means Apple is disrupting itself? Another word to describe this is 'innovation'. And anyway, I'm not even sure iPads are hurting Apple's notebook sales. I haven't done my research, but I've heard that it may in fact be the other way around - that the Macbook Air is hurting iPad sales.

Seems like the author just picked up the latest buzzword, and he's a bit fuzzy on what it really means. Apple is undoubtedly innovative and fantastic at what they do, but please stop fluffing up disruptive.
Excellent article! I agree with all points here. I think one of the most important is "Emacs is easy to configure". You just Google a problem and copy 2 lines in your .emacs. No need to click here and there, then find out you have to do it every time you open the editor etc.

Also one thing that has gone true in the last 15 years (but most devs seem to still ignore it), is that emacs now has a small footprint and starts fast compared to many IDEs.

What do you suggest, making them both expensive?
None of these things preclude a shift though. It can be as simple as being a nice guy who pushes the team to focus on profitability a little more which causes them to compromise in ways they might not have done previously, or who defines evil a little differently.

As I think I said, I don't think anyone is suggesting that Google senior management are actively plotting how to enslave us all, but there does seem to be a pattern of things which suggest a shifting of priorities.

I agree to a lot of the arguments, but for me most of them fits better to VIM. I really have nothing against Emacs, but I just happened to start learning VIM, and after that it's been hard to change.

In my university, there's really only some Java and Python we have to learn, at least the first couple of years. Since I like to learn a lot of other stuff, I kind of had to learn an editor. But most of my classmates has never programmed outside eclipse or whatever IDE they use for python. I really don't get how this is going to make us good computer scientist.

Well, last I checked Samsung, HTC, Motorola, HP, Dell, Asus didn't receive bailouts. We are talking about tech companies here - arguing that Apple does not care about profit is naive at best, as shown by my original argument.

They could easily stay independent by other means. They care about their profit more, so that's why they don't lower their margins. As a public company, they don't have much leeway here - what do you think would happen when they come out saying at the next shareholder meeting "our customers are most important to us - half price on everything from now on!"
Choosing the right metaphor in terms of OOP is equally important as well as the understanding the word's meaning and the implication of alternative meanings.
Not completely true. It is trivial to buy dead-tree books from Amazon.com (US) and send them to Mexico (books do not pay taxes when entering Mexico). I have done it for more than 10 years.

The real problem is the cost. Imagine that, if people in the USA, earning it US dollars think that a text-book (http://www.amazon.com/Marketing-Management-14th-Philip-Kotle...) costing USDd$168.72 is crazy. Imagine what people in Mexico (where the average yearly income is about USD$7,300) , India, China or other development countries think.

Quite simply, a lot of the people who pirate books are not a market for the publishers simply because it is impossible to pay.

Are they entitled to get such knowledge for free? legally, they are not. Morally... it is subjective.

I enjoyed the article, even though I am a VIM fan. Many of the same advantages apply to VIM too.

At the same time I thought it was also like looking into a different culture. "Easy" meaning "copy and paste what a user tells you?" I guess there is a different view of easy.

The disadvantages struck me as rather interesting. I am not entirely sure why you need multithreading in a text editor for example. Perhaps someone could enlighten me as to when this sort of thing would help. Is it about running a compile job in one buffer while editing in another?

I also noticed a big reason to use VIM or EMACS over an IDE that seemed missing and that is that both these editors have tons of features for gracefully editing large numbers of large files. The IDE's I have worked with haven't come close here.

For now I will stick with VIM, which I feel comfortable and confident on. However, seeing folks talk about the benefits of the other is interesting.

Re-reading the article I see what the author is saying, namely that some lag between the ATM network and the bank's accounting system is permissible. However, you still need to have a single point of truth that is absolutely consistent. If you don't, the bank's accountants (and probably federal regulators too!) will be rather unhappy! So the author takes a reasonable observation and twists it beyond recognition......
I own a Kindle and indeed some books are made unavailable by the publishers, but fortunatly Amazon let you enter any shipping address so I can order any book I want to read.

Multi-threading is asked for because when you run a complex thing in a single buffer (i.e editing something over Tramp mode, compilation, magit doing Git operations etc.) it can block the editor.

Hence, multi-threading is a potential solution to that.

Edit: spelling
While I too think that market segmentation as it exists for digital goods is stupid, I don't think it is done just for the money.

Different countries have different laws, different taxes, and your home country has different treaties and export control regulations that all need to be accounted for when selling to other countries. In some cases there could be markets/services that abstract some of this away, but it is not a trivial problem.

If it was trivial to do, then the only segmentation you would see would only be differentiating on price (getting the most that someone in that region would pay for it), instead of not selling it in those countries at all.

Now, the RIAA/MPAA has deep enough pockets and plenty of lawyers that they could have figured all this out for themselves already, and could have built a great online distribution system for themselves. So for them, segmentation is purely a play for money, though (hopefully) it will hurt their profits in the long run.

Who's arguing that Apple does not care about profits?

I've argued the exact opposite across numerous posts. They care about profits and it's in the best interests of their customers that they do. Which is exactly what I said in the parent.

I'd argue that the best interest of the Apple customer is maximum value, not cheapest price. And that's exactly why their customers continue to buy like crazy at a high price point. IE what's best for the customer and what's best for Apple are not mutually exclusive, but rather they're fully integrated. Apple's customers would not be served by an Apple with 5% margins.

>I am not entirely sure why you need multithreading in a text editor for example.

People often interact with APIs in Emacs or with things like git repos. Being able to make non-blocking calls to HTTP APIs and such would be rather nice.
I don't even know what features of Emacs I use. I have mental intents, actions, transformations, things I want to do to text, files, buffers, regions .. my conscious mind has been locked out of the tight-loop, the vicious cycle of a synapses being fired and keys chorded. It's all muscle memory. The perfect coupling of an average biological agent, and a bubbly, baroque piece of antique Lisp technology. Together, battling RSI and worse keyboard layouts, we sculpt scratch buffers to all sorts of works, many of adequate quality, but some exquisite.
So you've been in touch with the Speed Seduction community? Mind telling me more?, I'm fascinated by that stuff.

I am not entirely sure why you need multithreading in a
text editor for example.

I can see a few uses for it. The big one for me is semantic analysis. Intellisense is a surprisingly large computational burden, for a single example, and moving it and things like it off the thread that's handling your UI is probably a good idea.
I am not entirely sure why you need multithreading in a text editor for example. Perhaps someone could enlighten me as to when this sort of thing would help.

Basically, the lack of multithreading prevents any sort of background processing (unless it can be implemented using an idle hook, which often isn't possible.)

For example, Gnus (a newsreader which can also be used to read mail from a POP or IMAP server) locks up Emacs while it is checking for or fetching new mail. This is quite painful when fetching mail over a slow line or from a slow server, and causes people to do hacks like mirroring their mail onto a local IMAP server from where Gnus can fetch it more quickly. But even then, there is a noticeable pause when the server is accessed.

> You only get copyright in

How about letting people everywhere simply vote on copyright? On copyright duration. On copyright extent. On filesharing. Etc. It is the people whom copyright is primarily enforced against. It is their natural right to share information with their fellow men that is restricted. _They_ should have a final say of how many artificial restrictions they are willing to bear to get more works produced. And maybe they dont care about works at all and value their freedoms most?

In the vast majority of copyright discussions, the biggest party is usually being completely ignored, like a flock of sheep. While it is _them_ that will be caged, that will sheared, that will be milked, that will be slaughtered by the resulting policy, they are the only ones having absolutely no baaa and meeh in how much freedom they are willing to trade for how big a benefit. We have only special interests standing around the corrals and deciding "whats best" for the corralled sheep, and unsurprisingly, the decision always end up as total and maximal exploitation of the ones who have no say in it.

How the fuck is this "democracy"? Why is copyright constantly and permanently being excluded from "the will of the people" being mapped into law? Why cant we finally stop all the useless discussions on what would be "best" for the sheep and simply let them decide?
>> Also one thing that has gone true in the last 15 years (but most devs seem to still ignore it), is that emacs now has a small footprint and starts fast compared to many IDEs.

I have started using emacs recently, coming from Eclipse, and this is the main point that has led me to it. I use a netbook at home with only 2gb of ram, and it absolutely takes forever to open up eclipse (even the most basic 'classic' eclipse install), to the point where I was dreading opening it up to start coding.

Another significant factor is that, when I started learning Scala and then Clojure, I noticed how dependent on the tooling I had become from using Eclipse in Java projects. For languages that do not have a mature set of tools favoring eclipse, than you're left with a really heavy and slow text editor. I noticed it was a terrible trade-off.

When I asked myself 'what programming environment is lightweight but goes beyong syntx highlight?', then it came down to emacs and vi, that I heard of. Since my particular interest was in lerning Clojure, emacs fit like a glove.

I'm still not really that productive, but in the long run I find that I'll gain a lot more from learning to hack in emacs.
