The app does not have to be in the Store, it only has to be signed by Apple. The default setting is to allow any app that has been signed by Apple to run. If a developer does not have the time in the next six months to sign their app then I do want a warning.

I agree with you in that too many modals can desensitize a person but let us look at what would need to happen to occur in this space.

Your average consumer would buy their new Mac with Mountain Lion and would immediately be prompted to look at the App Store. It is right in their dock and constantly promoted by Apple. This person downloads an app or two that they heard they MUST get (through friends/family/colleagues whatever). Some of the apps the person hears about are not in the App Store so they go to Google. Maybe they've been told about Adium or VLC or Chrome or Firefox or any of the other extremely popular Mac apps that have active developers. These apps are all signed by Apple because it takes like 15 min to get a certificate generated.

So now let's say we're at 4-8 apps downloaded. I would say a case could be made that your typically consumer isn't going to install 50 apps right after they get their computer but let us assume they download some app that is not signed by Apple. They are prompted with this warning and here is the valuable first impression and the learning experience. If this warning can properly convey to the user why the app doesn't start then you've won. The user will either decide they don't want to run "unsafe" apps or they will change the setting.

This warning isn't going to be constantly popping up because you wouldn't see this each time you went to run the app because you can't even run it. The only options are "don't run this" or "don't run this an get rid of it". The user can't just blindly click past this they need to understand it before they can advance.

Now let's say your typical use sees this and is scared and decides installing this apps isn't worth the risk. If for whatever reason they have been told to download a lot of unsigned apps they will then need to make a choice. Do I turn this feature off or am I OK with not having this app.

If you think the typical user is going to be installing dozens of apps from lazy developers then yes the user could be desensitized.

I believe that from past experiences we can see that even having to download a DMG is a jumping off point for so many people. Most users are going to experience this just a few times and if Apple controls the experience correctly then the user will be smarter and more protected than before.
Apple labor petitioners to make deliveries again next week
I think they're still missing the point. The idea is to stop using jQuery like that. Think of it as another required module of your application and move everything to requireJS. You'll gain speed and peace of mind once you learn to modularize all your JavaScript code.

Feeling a lot better to see them googling how to make a PriorityQueue in Java (take that algorithms class!) or misusing println to track down a deadlock in the network code loop ;)

Would be fun to have a panel of running commentary like sport, especially for those who can't quite see the screen or want to learn something new. The justin.tv/twitch.tv chat is more obsessed with ponies and complaining about lag .
I don't know how many people know of this registrar, but nearlyfreespeech.net is one I really do trust. Stuff like monthly donations to the EFF and detailed technical explanations of patched security flaws give them credability in my eyes.
Agreed. It would be naive to think that the stock holders have absolutely no say. But Apple seems to have done such a great job at putting the customer experience first and making a ton of money off of it. They also have more cash on hand than God so I'm not worried about them tanking somehow and needing to gouge us anytime soon.

If all of a sudden Apple stops making money and starts doing shady stuff then I'll look at my other options and possible switch again just like I've done before.
Depending on your job LOTS of proprietary programs are indispensable.

Not necessarily just one though, they could be 2-3 proprietary options that have absolutely nothing competitive in OSS land.

(If people use Wine for some of them, its beside the point: that only re-inforces they do find them indispensable. Not to mention that very few pros use Wine for their work, and that Wine doesn't work 100% glitch free).

As for what programs I think. Well,

• Photoshop is one of them, sure. GIMP misses a lot still that professional graphic designers need and use everyday, especially in it's CMYK workflow. Same for Illustrator.

• InDesign (or Quark for some) is also indispensable. The only OSS competitor, Scribus, is not even close.

• Programs to design and edit fonts. Nothing with the breadth/ease of the few commercial options.

• Logic/Cubase/Sonar/Live/Pro Tools are also indispensable. Nothing comparable to OSS. Same for the multitude of pro quality plugins, from Waves to UAD.

• Premiere/Avid/FCP(X) etc. Video in OSS land is a royal pain, and nothing of the short and extend of those programs exist.

So, graphic design/dtp/video/music/sound (anything media/multimedia in short) is a no go. And I think not only in the high end, but also in the everyday consumer space. GIMP does't have the ease of use of Photoshop Elements. Nor is there something as powerful but simple as Premiere Elements or iMovie. Something as simple as editing your daughter's birthday video and adding one two effects and titles can be a world of pain. Tons of other things, from big to small, like CD labeling or card-making software with hundreds of templates to pick.

Lots of other things I guess, but as they are not exactly in my workflow, I don't know about them. Is there Mathematica/Matlab for example? or Autocad? What's the state of 3D modelers? etc.
I wonder if a filter that excluded things that I've trained it that I don't like would be more effective?

Updated Java 6 EOL date (to November 2012)
With original EOL on July 2012, I can't believe Apple still ships OSX with Java 1.6 (Developer Preview for 1.7 available in http://jdk7.java.net/macportpreview/).
Also, the N270 is two threads, instead of the 2 cores the author claims. I'd be really interested in seeing a better benchmark detailing what parts of which core are the fastest. My impression has always been that the A9 has really good execution resources compared to the Atom and can roast it in micro benchmarks, but that the better memory hierarchy of the Atom wins out in typical applications.
Sorry, but how is that "like Dropbox for Hackers"?

Garmedia - you will love our ideas
I don't understand what you mean. Don't you train the classifier on some input set? There's your user's confirmation bias.
I closed when the first thing was to me chose a "weapon" (seriously?) of choice instead of giving me whatever the site's offering. What if I like Ruby AND Perl AND Node.js?

Edit: I know that Perl is not an option there, it was just for showing how a more "open" approach would be better. Also, the name implies that is a tool for people who likes/uses Ruby (gem). So people would dismiss it based only on the name, not visiting and seeing that there's more options.
That being said... The fact that something failed one, two, or a hundred times in the past doesn’t mean it won’t work today. Things may be different today, or perhaps the approach may be slightly different. If Google can make bazillions of dollars using machine learning to optimize the ads displayed on a page, I’m pretty confident machine learning can be used to optimize the likelihood that you’ll upvote articles suggested by a bot.

The question of whether this becomes an echo chamber and you stop finding things that are interesting but outside of your current tastes is deep. There’s an old saying, “The best present is something you didn’t know you wanted until you unwrapped it."
In 1994-1995 I used to charge $180 to put a "contact us" form on a website. It was a simple HTML form and Perl script. I could bang one out in about 30 minutes and I couldn't keep up with the work. Those were the days!

> Would using Redis for more than a cache store be overkill in my application?

It depends what scale you are at. I work for a startup that does something similar (not Pinterest) and we make heavy use of Redis for all sorts of things.

But IMHO you are looking at this the wrong way around - instead of "I need a caching solution... I'll try Redis" you seem to be saying "I want to use Redis... what can I use it for". Which is all well and good from a hacker perspective, but looks a bit like premature optimisation to me.

Why not use MongoDB, and move things to Redis if/when they become a bottleneck?
And now I know why a supposedly barely scented spray leaves such a perfumed stink when I use enough to remove real odors.
Agree, I use Django and I had no idea what they were talking about.
They should check out other frameworks before writing posts with generic headlines.

Agreed, it would have made more sense to test again the N455, which is common in netbooks shipping now, or its replacement the N2600.

The scientific consensus is that while men and women might have different distributions of personality traits, their mental abilities are more or less identical.

We run several short URL websites and they get flooded by phishers and spammers. Thanks to URL blacklists they don't get far with it. But those guys are pros. They don't create accounts or content manually. They have software that's doing that.
It's because the supplied url is not the baseurl. Poster is to blame ;)
The ARM chip fares really poorly in the video encoding comparisons. Is this because of hardware differences, compiler differences, hand-written x86 assembly by the encoder programmers, or something else?

In my opinion / experience, it's still a very useful tool if used accurately.

Used well it provides cut-through of your brand / product / message in a way that is harder to build organically. Once you have traction, you can build a more separate identity.

Used inaccurately, and you will likely annoy people who might be your target market. Used ironically, you can definitely have fun.

But what would I know - my business advice is like Pets.com for Trappist Monks.

You are correct! Thanks. Been spending too long with document.readyState.
But these days it's so misused that most people see it and dismiss as a "catchphrase" to lure people. Even if it's accurately used. So, it's better don't take the risk.
I love the week view of TeuxDeux. A combination of TeuxDeux and http://www.timeslot.me/ would be really good.
Let's be clear ... I am not attacking jQuery here, just saying it is misuse to chuck it in the header and offering a practical mechanism to get out of a mess you create. I explain the cost of placing it in the header. I am not perfect, I make mistakes daily, I try to learn.
No Mountain Lion; Just get the Wallpaper.
Spotlight or quicksilver would be your friend in this case. The other developer utilities have been moved inside the Xcode.app bundle but you can access them and add them to the dock if you use them very frequently.
I put the same slides on SpeakerDeck. They will be available shortly here: http://speakerdeck.com/u/wolfr . Alternatively you can download the presentation in PDF format from SlideShare too.

I re-saved some of the slides to display a static JPG, the parsing of the PDF seems to cause some problems. I just tested it and could go through the 120 slides without problems now.

It's a bit of a pain, yeah.
I do miss Renderman on the desktop. Maybe not very practical, just really cool.

When I was contracting at Swiss Bank in Chicago in 1994, I noticed an HP on the network running NeXTSTEP. I telnet'ed to it from the NeXTStation on my desk, and ran some renders to see how much faster it was. Got a stern email saying "Stop doing that.".

Its likely an optimisation problem; whilst media playback codecs are often optimised for ARM, most video/audio capture on ARM devices is encoded by custom discrete hardware; the encoding of media on ARM using the CPU is likely not getting the same love as on x86.

Dropbox stores files in the cloud which are then easily accessible by authorized computers - Gemfury does that for code packages.
All this should be shown in ratio to cost or watts.
I'm not a Jew, but I've read the Old Testament, and God depicted there cares about intentions a lot more, than about effects. For example - God wanted Abraham to kill his son not because he wanted Jakub death, but he wanted blind obedience from Abraham. Which is still illogical - because first - God knew beforehand what Abraham will do, second - it's strange that God prefers people to be obedient, than ethical (one can argue that killing son because of God order is not unethical, when we assume God is always right).

Anyway - omnipotent and omniscient God is logical contradiction already, either logic don't work on God, or it's all bullshit. So religion doesn't have to be logical.
You pointed out a few best-practices, but it's a shame that this article is written in the context of jQuery, rather than recognizing that these "taxes" are true with every script tag you place on your website.
How to get fired from Fox News in under five minutes
STEP 1: Go on air as usual, but instead of sticking to the usual inane script, ask a lot of truly interesting, open-ended, tough, controversial questions that might cause the audience to think and/or question long-held beliefs and assumptions -- like this:

STEP 2: There is no step 2. Fox News will fire you after step 1.

One interesting thing in Mountain Lion: garbage collection is deprecated in favor of ARC.
Later in the article, it mentions that Target got smarter with these. Instead of just sending coupons for diapers and such, they would send coupons of diapers interspersed with coupons of, say, lawnmowers and chainsaws. In other words, they would use the same customer database to send coupons that they knew the customer wouldn't want, just to through them off the scent.
Well it's kind of like dropbox for ruby gems.

I don't know why you would equate ruby gems with 'hackers' unless you really like people to be disoriented.
"untrusted software from an anonymous source"

Great work. I've been wishing posts had tags so I could subscribe to some topics and avoid others.

Apart from the technical side, I find the light blue text hard to read.
OS X server was definitely peanuts: they never took it seriously as a product and it's an expensive area to be in. The “support“ process was basically gated by you telling your Apple rep how many Macs you couldn't buy until a bug was fixed.

Put another way, in 2009 at MacWorld there was unanimous consent among my fellow IT track speakers that anyone with non-trivial needs should be using Linux servers for Mac clients, due entirely to the obvious low priority of the server product. Making it a $50 app store add-on is the first step in simply acknowledging that Apple is really a consumer product company and unwilling to devote the significant resources needed to stay competitive in the traditional IT market.

How Wall Street takes advantage of very confused Ivy League graduates
I'd sort of expect older people to be _less_ uncomfortable about it. Back in the day you bought more things from from smaller stores with proprietors who might recognize you and remember what you purchased last time. I'm pretty sure I've old movies where someone walks into a store and the guy behind the counter says something like "Hi Bob, we've got a new order in of those Foozits you like!" and Bob is embarrassed because he's with someone who he didn't want to know that he bought Foozits. I'm not very sensitive to privacy issues for a HN reader, but I know that my parents positively want to have personal relationships with the entities they buy things from.
Why You Should Refuse to Build a Startup on Content
Does anyone know if Notch has added some sort of vim key bindings to eclipse. It looks like he can jump to the beginnings and ends of words, but I'm unsure if this is either lag of the video, really fast arrow movement or some form of key shortcuts.

That is absolutely true, was looking at the cnn.com .. http://z.cdn.turner.com/cnn/tmpl_asset/static/intl_homepage/... which is in the header chews up 100k of compressed js. This monster must take upwards of 20ms to parse in chrome as well. Way worse in crappy browsers, the CDN network you need to support this is huge.

I'm a student at NYU-ITP and our coding classes have a good mix of males and females learning Open Frameworks, Ruby, Python, etc. We barely ever refer to gender. A future generation of female coders is coming, and they'll be building awesome, important stuff.

These blog articles seem pointless in comparison.
Sorry for the confusion - we figured it'd be easier to explain the service for each individual platform separately, rather than all at once. Hence the up-front selection.
I've asked myself a similar question - what perspective do I have with Windows? Is my experience with Windows technology useless in the long term? ...then I found the rising ReactOS! I'm curious which of those listed points will still stand in Unix vs ReactOS. If you'll wait a little (because we are talking about the long term here), I think all that Windows experience of yours will be in a great demand! That if you are willing to get involved in it like you would in any Unix FOSS thing and not just taking it as you would take Windows, of course.
Economically that seems like a wonderful idea, but politically it sounds doomed to failure. Taxi drivers tend to be pretty well organized politically, and in most cities even have laws in place (usually medallion systems) to limit competition. If they can keep these laws in place with their current very weak justifications, I wouldn't be surprised if they can shut down automated cars very easily, since the public would probably be a bit nervous about the idea anyways.

EDIT: Possibly I'm being too pessimistic. I expect automated cars could be really, really awesome and if so, and if they're allowed anywhere, eventually there'll be pressure in other cities to allow them too.
