The argument used to be that everything was as it should be because only big media could make you famous enough for this sort of thing to work on a big scale. Uh-oh.

Uh-oh is right. This is the sort of thing that Scott McCloud wanted to bring about with micropayments -- a more direct connection between artists and their fans.

According to the "Economics of Anime" post, it should be possible now for people to revive gone but beloved shows in that medium on Kickstarter. New episode of Firefly, anyone?

Doing something like that would be as important as Louis CK's video. It would be another step towards the fall of the media status quo.

> we will still support 1.9.2 [in Rails 4.0]

How can the Core team claim to support 1.9.2 in Rails 4.0 when the minimum version of Ruby required to run the test suite is 1.9.3?

I'd say he's almost too particular for an M with a down arrow in a rounded rectangle.

However, what's the corner radius? What's the width of the stroke on the M? The depth of the point of the arrow or the width of its sweep?

It seems like he's got the spacing and sizing of line-width elements specified to a 'T' (or an 'X' as the case may be), but can we typeset the M in, say, Times? Can the down arrow be a chevron instead?

Particular, but if he's going for particular he's taking it nearly far enough. :P

Either it's a bug or I missed something. It could be that there were fundamental bugs in Ruby 1.9.2.

Again, Rails 4.0 is not out yet, even in betas. We're currently in the planning stages, with a lot of movement on master, so master is in a state of flux at the moment that doesn't really reflect what a release will look like.
Friendly tip. You might want to consider a font that has a little more weight to it. I had an extremely difficult time reading any of the text. Tried zooming in, moving to a different monitor, but eventually just gave up, even though I really wanted to read the entire post.
"Patients experiment with alternative treatments like diets, supplements, or activities, and learn whether they work or not."

No, they learn whether they experience pareidolia or not, and that's how shit like homeopathy, cupping, rebalancing the humours, and, oh, every other non-scientific "modality" of "treatment" which doesn't work gets started.

"patient-to-patient healthcare is "crazy", "dangerous", or blasphemous"

"Blasphemous" - uh, WTF? "Crazy" - maybe, although I'd have gone with "foolishly optimistic disregarding the brain's ability to fool itself". "Dangerous" - definitely.

"Oftentimes I'm finding that hearing "no" means you're doing something right."

That's very nice. I do wonder if the downward pointing arrow might cause some confusion, since it could be misinterpreted as meaning "download".
Funny, none of those reasons are why I now avoid go. For me what killed it was:

- Forcing one brace style
- Forcing naming conventions to a certain extent
- To use the Go tool you are required to have your directories set up in a specific way
- All types are not equal: No support for using user defined types as map keys, maps are generic, but user defined types are not
- Two initialization functions, new and make. One returns a pointer, the other a struct. Seeing as go makes no distinction between the stack and the heap, is there need for two.

Convention over configuration is great and all, but it really felt as if it was being used as an excuse to force me to use someone else's style. Even python which catches flak for forcing indentation as tabs let's you choose the indentation depth and character. Go made me feel slightly violated; forcing my directory layout was the last straw, and the lack of any configuration in a place where it would not be complex to add it seamed stupid.
"These people, called managers, don't create product, they create process."
Please allow me to say "bulls@#t". Those people (engineering managers, product managers, managers in general) are in the same team as the hackers and they're usually not dumb automatons with the single desire to maintain status quo. I think they all know the benfits of distruption and hacking and are willing to support it. So use them rather than blame them.

I think the bigger problem in major companies is that the engineers are so overburden with work and deadlines that they lose interest to hack or come up with brilliant new ideas.
Physical datahavens only really have meaning if it gets you associated legal services (payment processing, incorp, legal); once banking is fully virtualized, you can do purely online entities too. So yes, datahavens will happen -- they will just be a mix of strongly-associated-with-physical-jurisdiction things, and virtualized things.

The USA is basically a datahaven today for many things, and has been for a while.

Some of your points are not really fair:

Go does have exceptions under a different name called "panic". It's named differently to communicate why they were added to the language (read docs for details) and their expected use-case.

Go does have a variation of inheritance called embedding. Using embedding you inherit all methods and fields of the former type but that does not provide is-subclass relation between types. In order to have abstract-class-like behavior one would use interfaces.

---

At the moment Go is mostly useful for creating lean network services. "net" package from standard library is really good. Goroutines are scheduled with the respect to system calls so all your code is effectively async without any jumps and hoops (no callbacks!).

There are few packages in other areas (gui) but that's not the fault of the language. You're welcome to write new ones or wrap existing C libraries (and that's really easy in Go).

> learning Python

By any means, if you feel the urge, you really should help yourself and scratch that itch.

I understand that for someone new to python (hence lacking the knowledge to get what's different between 2 and 3) you might feel uneasy about it, but really you should not.

Just learn py2.7 (+ django if that's you want) now, and bulletproof your code by using u"", b"", .encode and .decode at the edge when needed, also 123L in your code, together with from __future__ import division, print_function, and whatnot. The remainder is mostly syntax (like except) or namespace (like http.server) changes and will get caught and thus easy to fix when you try to run in py3 (contrary to if you don't use u""/b"" as values can "move" through code and blow up in a completely unrelated area). I might be forgetting something, but that's the gist of it.

As for learning, really you will have zero trouble acclimating yourself to any breaking change py3 introduces. The trouble only lies in existing, 'legacy' code, not for the one you write from scratch straight in py2.7, and especially if you aim for compatibility with the provided forward-compatibility features of python.

We've always seen "futuristic watches" on TV shows from the 80s, which looked cool, but after a few seconds you realize that you would only wear them if they were stylish and not a piece that screams "nerd!" when you look at it.

A few comments :

- I find that having a common style about source files from different origins (we're in the open source era) and common naming conventions are great for the readability. I can decipher foreign code much easier if I don't have to set my mind about the bracing style. And seriously, would you prefer to have "private" and "public" all in the place instead of this simple convention ?

- I found it a little painful too, at first, to have to mix source and binary in my projects with the advent of the go tool but the removal of redundant makefiles and its simplicity of use, especially when you deal with a lot of projects and packages from diverse origins is so great that it's hard to protest against that.

That IP is owned by Fox isn't it? Surely Fox would notice the large amount of cash on the table and demand a large percentage cut of it.

I think this model only works for well-known creators making new work. So Joss Whedon could make something new by using his popularity to raise funds...

Shouldn't it be "A Tale of Sex, Drugs, and Objective-C"?
I've read this line of reasoning many times, and it's like saying "Hitler needed to kill 6 million jews to that people would realize he's a bad guy".

No, the correct action would be to fix the system, not to cause a catastrophe so that "regular people" realize anything. Those who need to know already know.

I guess the author already knows that and uses this reasoning to prove a valid point, but I'm firmly against it, it's a fallacy.

Looks like the TextMate 1 document icon for Markdown! :-) http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~jrus/site/tm-icon-selection.png

Well it certainly doesn't sound like it's going to be environmentally friendly.

If there's prior art then indeed the patent should be invalidated.

Whether their customers want it is irrelevant. Sadly there is no good criteria for what is 'trivial' or not, and that is a big problem with the current system. I don't think slide-to-unlock is any more trivial than the crank, but it's not my opinion that matters.

My point is that if its just a 'gimmick' i.e. not important, then HTC should be easily able to work around it.

The fact they haven't suggests that either it's hard to come up with a good alternative, or they are intentionally copying Apple.

It's worth noting that Apple suing over superficial things is more about preventing direct imitation. They aren't trying to kill their competitors by claiming fundamental technologies. I think this is actually evidence of a moderate approach.

You can't imagine how annoying is it in python world to use libraries which always provide inconsistent naming scheme. You'll easily find camelCase, snake_case, nocapitalorunderscorecase in any large project. Even though pep8 exists, neither standard library nor most of 3rd party developers conform to it.

Go's CapitalEverythingNaming convention is quite annoying but the mere fact that it'll be used everywhere makes me happy.

I think it's crazy that they are only now talking about dropping support for Python 2.4 which came out in 2004 and has been replaced by Python 2.5 in 2006.

So only now they are moving from depending on 8 years old technology to depending on 6 years old technology.

The reason for this is probably the proliferation of really old versions in the default installation of still supported OSes like RHEL. Worse: Due to the fact that these distros largely depend on the Python installation they came with, it's likely that admins are reluctant to touch anything python related on the system.

Compare this to ruby/rails where the common practice is to treat system ruby as a hands-off thing: Usually, the deployment payload just includes its own ruby (using rvm or rbenv). This allows for much less conservative minimum requirements.

Being forced to constantly target way outdated software during development is really annoying and kills motivation as you are always reminded that if only you could update, you would be spared re-implementing feature x or you could use much more expressive code while implementing feature y.

And don't get me started on PH-4.x is good enough-P.

array.array is fine, I guess, but using a list of array.array objects is inelegant and inflexible. It’s much better to put all your image data in one big array, keep track of the various stride lengths to go down rows or across pixels, and then implement proper multi-dimensional indexing.

I suppose it doesn’t really matter. This library is also missing all the other flexibility you’d want in a general imaging toolkit – e.g. the assumption of 8 bit/channel RGB is baked into everything, with no notion of color space or gamma encoding (and the JPEG decoder doesn’t seem to have any mention of color spaces, meaning that many JPEG images will be wrongly interpreted). It’s not usable for any but the most basic image processing tasks.

The JPEG decoder might make an okay benchmark for pypy performance, though it’s a straight port from C++, so it’s probably not the style of python code that pypy is designed to be fast on.
I see big problems in taxes and bank accounts.

1. Taxes:

So you incorporate on the BVIs or a similar tax heaven, because you don't want to pay taxes. You are not even using the infrastructure of a country, so that doesn't even feel morally wrong. But crucial parts of your company lay within the USA (servers, some investors, consultants, bank accounts..). There have been tax cases before (at least in Europe) where it has been argued that a server equals a permanent business establishment and therefore is taxable (I can not find an English language article on the quick but I remember a case where a german hat incorporated in Cyprus and used german servers). So that would be a mess.

2. Bank accounts

Does the country of the boats registration or the country you choose to incorporate have a stable banking system and currency? Can you get a Paypal (or whatever payment provider) account for this bank account? Or will you go for a US bank, which again leads us to (1), also I dont know how hard it is to open a bank account in the US on the name of a foreign company with no entity in the US. What will potential costumers think about bank accounts in county x? What happens if the US tightens rules on money laundry, making your transfers a pain?

Many questions will have to be solved on the way. I really hope the project succeeds, especially if it pushes US law-makers to think about their visas.

I wonder why people are so impressed by the compile times. Why it is fast, is obvious:

1. Do not use #include (especially in combination with C++ template instantiation)

2. Do not use a heavily optimizing compiler backend

The first point is fixed in every other modern language as well, so it is only an advantage over C/C++. Go will become somewhat slower, because people want free lunch, so at some point i expect LLVM or GCC will be used as the official backend. Does anybody use TinyCC for his C programs?
Slide-to-unlock doesn't seem like it is a fundamental requirement of modern phones, surely there are a lot of good alternatives. That makes it look a lot more like it was copied to make devices seem more iPhone line.

Customizable user pages, and activity streams are a lot harder to work around for modern web applications. The fact that there aren't a lot of alternatives also suggests that they are obvious technologies. If Yahoo really owns those things, how many modern web applications are not vulnerable.

It's true that 'slide to unlock' seems like a superficial feature, but that's actually a point in Apples's favor.

By pursuing superficial claims, they aren't trying to blow the competition out of the water by claiming ownership of fundamental ideas - they're just trying to stop them making products that feel like imitations of their brand.
