I've pretty much ignored the entire concept of iPad magazines (via Newsstand) until I got my iPad III. Right now I'm trying out the free 7 day trial of The Guardian, and I'm impressed. It's £9.99/month, so I'm still debating if it's worth it, but after 4 days I'm leaning towards yes.

Why? Well, in contradiction of the original article's charges, it does innovate and provide more than just a static page by page experience. You can navigate in a page-by-page sense, but it also groups subjects, provides links to other articles, and has a top level navigation. The front page [https://img.skitch.com/20120321-jg1fn7y9u4ktw7ktx229uygnja.p...] does a great job of highlighting interesting subjects that day, and where an article has a video it can be played inline.

In many ways it's basically a heavily device-oriented website, but it has the advantage that all the content is downloaded automatically each day (without me having to remember to download it whilst on wifi before I head onto the tube). Also, unlike many of the magazines on Newsstand, it actually embeds their gorgeous Guardian Egyptian Text typeface [https://img.skitch.com/20120321-1xb6ybrcyem76rw29569tf9kp5.p...], so even though most of the graphics aren't retina-resolution yet, the text is still beautiful to read.

Contrast this experience with Edge magazine. I've been reading this in print since 1995, and it's always been a high-production quality publication. I'd expect the iPad experience to match, but it doesn't even come close. Apparently one of the oft-mentioned magazines which simply bundles up a bunch of JPEGs, I could probably get past that were it not for the horrible way it loads each page, first apparently using a low-resolution image resized to fit, then gradually drawing in the full-resolution image in tiles [https://img.skitch.com/20120321-kam5qxxn3rens7a1x534jgyidh.p...]. This happens with every single page transition, even with pages you've already visited, meaning that switching between two pages of a gatefold article is an incredibly irritating process. Also, as it's a resized image, the text isn't especially clear, particularly when you compare to the high standard The Guardian sets.

The way I look at it, if old-world print publications want to survive the transition to digital, then they can't expect to get away with the latter, but instead should be striving towards the former. Make a good product and people will buy it. Try and push rubbish and when you finally discover you have to stop the physical presses, the virtual product won't stand up to scrutiny.
Ask HN: Usability guidelines for smart phone screens?
Where can I find some good usability guidelines for small screens? Any tips, resources, or websites are welcome!
You say that as if it's just as convenient to get out your phone and get your map up as it is to just intuitively know where to go.
I am sorry that she has to be a woman (which is not even true strictly speaking, sex changes are possible). What I meant is that these problems are probably independent from the job. By ascribing the problems to "being a woman", she misses the thought that she could switch to a job where people don't treat her like that.

Nobody wants to see men's junk, but there are enough other ways that jobs can suck for men and women alike.

> I wouldn't find it sexually arousing if a co-worker came in to work topless.

Which is why I sometimes wish for a nudist society, exposing clothes can be much more distracting than none at all.

> Probably because I'm not fifteen, and I've seen boobs before.

I'm neither fifteen nor in dire need of breasts, and a mini skirt in summer can still be enough to keep me from thinking straight (I won't comment on it though). Some of us can't be fixed, looking down on me won't help.

I actually agree with both of you, you simply sound as if you had different women in mind all the time. There are girls in all environments that dress up with intentions. It sucks, they cause prejudice, but the OP really doesn't sound like it.
IPhone Software Development Industries
No, it is not. This is the reason big conglomerates should be split with an axe and left to the vultures.

They are super inefficient because they have incompetents in place that can't measure the real value created by their workers but also because as a company grows bigger and bigger you forget who is your customer and start playing the Soviet Russia central planning trick of "looking like you work is more important than working".

When those big companies like banks show looses, we join them together creating bigger monsters that parasites real economy even more. They then use tricks and more tricks to hide the reality(GM or Enron) so the party continues one more day.

But one day the party will be over for them.

Exactly, with caching the application server becomes far less of an issue. There's a catch, though.

Twitter, is a live service, content is constantly changing, which means round-trip to app server required, and that is where dynamic languages suffer, under load.

re: "I can assure you that espn.go.com could easily be served with ruby instead of java.", perhaps, but like Twitter, they chose the JVM and not the Ruby runtime. That's the "big site" de facto choice, compilation over runtime, whether it be .NET, JVM, or, perhaps in future for the enterprise, functional a la Haskell, Erlang, etc.

re: the best backend being the cheapest, depends on what you mean, hardware is not everything, the application has to be developed and maintained, bandwidth accounted for, etc. But yes, I can roll with that, minimal hardware expense to get the job done. Now, if you're implying that compiled languages are more expensive than their dynamic language counterparts, not sure if that is necessarily the case.

I run a couple of Dell R610 ESXi servers in colo, small setup, but complete overkill for actual load we're handling. At any rate, Scalatra (Scala Sinatra clone) running on Jetty "costs" 38MB of RAM per instance, not exactly expensive.
If a video has captions I often prefer to watch it muted. I'm not even hearing impaired. Sound is overrated. ;-)
But that's not what I want. I want a better filtering/discovery mechanism for DA. There's a lot of great artists on there but it's too much work browsing, not to mention deciding.
Somebody has to make a move eventually, though, or else no sex, no kids and mankind would die out. I agree the work place does not seem the best starting point, but in the real world it turns out to be (see other posts, 18% of committed couples met at work).

Captivating Summer Vacations Camps for Kids In Delhi
I think this article is aimed at people in the UK where there is not much of a startup culture except in a small handful of places.

It also seem to be more aimed at general IT/tech/MCSE type guys rather than developers who are probably in less demand for startups.
Seems unlikely. Not every AWS user is in every region. They would need to have a separate range of anycast IPs for every possible combination of regions (2^N possibilities) to prevent packets from going into a black hole. If they wanted to be able to serve a conservative number of hosts in every region (say 32768) that would require 15-bits of IP space per combination. If AWS expands to 10 regions, that means 25-bits of the IPv4 space. A /8 only gives you 24.

I guess an alternative might be to do some kind of NAT for unbound anycast addresses which forwards packets to an available region, but that is hugely complicated.
Indeed. This thread possessed me to register "abovethecirclejerk.com", which I one day hope to use in a meaningful way.

I actually found Draw Something to be pretty bad even before reading this. The whole game seems to be written in a too portable manner, ie., all UI elements self-written and noticeably different from UIKit, no GameCenter, the sizes are all weird...

I hope somebody does the reverse thing of Zynga and builds a LIGHTER, Apple-like version of it, I'd jump ship in an instant. Especially after going through the painful WWF fiasco. It might even be possible to get an App Store spotlight by being more "loyal" to Apple's way of doing things, and obviously not being portable.
Personally I use Firefox Sync. It's encrypted end-to-end and if you don't even trust Mozilla with your encrypted data, you can set up your own sync server. Chrome has something similar too however I'm unsure how open it is.

You can sync your bookmarks using Firefox Sync to your Android, if you were to use Firefox for Android (it's pretty good and there are big improvements on the way - I went to a talk about it at FOSDEM).

For your iPod touch, I have no idea, though it raises the question why you need one when you have an Android phone but anyway.

For your home computer, you could switch to Firefox however I imagine there'll be an addon that syncs bookmarks from Firefox Sync. I'd always recommend using the more open service as it's far more likely to be supported.

I fully understand this, as it is hapenning to me. I tried looking at it from the partner's perspective:

At the outset when optimism was high, the mind can work in wonderful ways to spend all that cash. But it can take a very long time to realise. Maybe not even in this project.

I always end up questioning the motivation of the partner. Cash, a house, holidays, clothes... this is all very well, except it ignores the elemnt of risk that lies at the heart of any venture. That risk at the end of the day has to be shared by a partner. It is what it is love me, love my dog.

If the partner was not prepared to share the risk ( and not have all those fancy things when it didn't happen at this point in time) then this is tantamount to misleading me (you) over a time.

I don't know if you can agree with this, of course being in the centre it's hard often to rationalise.

I actually enjoy the more polished layout of the New Yorker app vs a typically sloppy web page. I just hate downloading and storing huge files when I usually only want to read 1/4th of the magazine or less. I already hesitate to wait for the slow download of 120+MB for one issue so if this is 2x or more I'll bother even less.
I don't think it works like that. You write scripts for it and can use it to excersize web pages. I have used it extensively to test web sites.
It's all down to ignorance really isn't it. Isolated incidents by themselves aren't really a big deal. Idiots are everywhere. Sometimes people just don't think before speaking.

Sometimes the odd jibe is actually amusing. Of course when the jibe has been heard a hundred times before it never is.

I have a stutter and the amount of crap I have had over the years is rediculous. It isn't people taking the piss, I am used to that. Its people being 'kind'. People assuming I cannot do something or wouldn't want to do something on account of my speech. People being 'protective' or finishing sentences...

The outride rudeness of people is easy to confront and challenge. It is the subtle stuff which is very difficult to deal with. Often people genuinely do not understand that they have done something wrong. They were just asking someone to take notes and you have become the defacto note taker... whats wrong with that?

I have always thought the best thing to do is stand your ground but if you do that every time you get a reputation of being a stickler and being less approachable. The trouble is finding the right balance between letting the odd thing slide without just leaving yourself open to taking crap.

I feel for Katie and think it is a shame that she has been effectively forced out doing she something she enjoys by the ignorance of others.
Scala 3 Roadmap
Well, my advice stands, though if you're actively working to undermine your male colleague's confidence in their ability you might consider changing that. But if you insist on treating male and female colleagues differently then you spend your entire day saying to women, "you don't belong here and you never will". If you're comfortable with that and your manager's comfortable with that, please give me the name of your company so I can avoid it.
as most comments mentioned before - there is plenty of those apps around - I don't really see anything new in this one...
Is this not less about appearing to be a desperate white knight and more about appearing to put a woman before the guys and, in doing so, betraying your male friends.
And even in Firefox and Chrome. In fact, I'd ask most of these web application developers to try browsing the modern web on a relatively modern computer: my 1ghz athlon with 1GB RAM… Even twitter is dead slow. DOM manipulation is slow, CSS transitions are slow, infinite scrolling is a memory hog, fake smooth scrolling (disregarding the browser's native scrolling) is slow… everything is just a pain.
"Why do we do such a bad job of developing people who are good managers/leaders AND understand technology?"

I know people that are really good at both, they exist and I personally know some of them. It is a pleasure to work with them and they create good teams. They group in clusters, they want to work with people like them.

People like Elon Musk(he was a was programmer, studied physics and business degrees) or Mark Shuterworth are famous and rich but there is also a lot of them around if you know where to search, people that understand technology and people. Try to deceive them with BS!

A lot of people are not so lucky though to work with them. A company have a soul and a culture. Once your living environment is stale you start to believe that is THE world, and your survival skills make you to adapt and become part of the problem yourself, like this man cynic strategy(he uses it because it works in his contaminated environment).

Do you really ask women out by walking up to them with bulging eyes and saying "wow, that top makes your tits look great"? There are sexist and non-sexist ways to ask a woman at work out. The non-sexist ways give her the ability to easily decline and not feel bad--much like you'd treat a man, in fact. "Would you like to go for a drink on Friday" is something you might say to someone of either gender, no?
Sure it's possible, but I don't get to wear my pyjama at work. In fact in most places I would feel awkward with shorts, too. (Now we could argue if it is the work place or the pyjama wearer who is at fault, fair point).
Facebook is PHP (with C++ pre-processor called HipHop). StackOverflow is, ta da, M$ stack (C#, SQL Server, etc.)

State of the art in highly scalable web apps? Try this:

1) Apache 2.4 proxy/load balancer + mod_pagespeed
2) Scala microframework (Scalatra, Spray, or Unfiltered)
3) ScalaQuery functional JDBC wrapper (A-R-ish analogue)
4) Scalate pre-compiled templatye engine
5) pjax pushState + dataTables + FancyBox (modals)
6) Jedis in-memory cache for the content that varies
7) static html templates served off of CDN

Of course, the app server can be anything (Rails, Django, heck, even PHP) with sufficient caching. I really like Scala right now, it's the new hotness: terse syntax, functional, compile-time checked, and ba-blazin' fast, wahoooooo ;-)

You're right that you can do probably that if you only ever keep the layers separate. The moment you e.g. provide export functions that combine the layers, you're currently in a grey area. With the new license, it's no longer a grey area, but you explicitly need to release your source data to be in compliance.
I was going to make a comment about how I don't purchase physical media - but I just looked around my bedroom at my iPad, iPhone, kindle and MacBook Air, and realized I don't -own- anything that can play physical media. I may be the leading edge of a trend, but I'm betting the majority of people will follow very quickly.

Re: podcasts - all of my friends (bay area) listen to podcasts+spotify+pandora+ a little bit of kqed. Not sure how atypical they are.
My £0.02: having worked in a few teams in the UK, France and Sweden over the course of the last decade, I'd say this is a cultural effect that can be won over locally by a certain company or social group, but would require a coordinated and concerted effort on behalf of men and women to stamp this kind of stealth-bullying out of social acceptability. I fully support the men who will help call out this kind of behaviour, and am also fully satisfied that this issue has front-paged HN for as long as it has.

From my own experience of work, cultural norms and popular issues, although only the smallest of samples, I'd say that (younger) Swedes have a much better handle on the balance of respect and gender roles than their peers in FR or the UK (England, specifically). Even the most subtle attempt at sexism is picked up on to a degree where it is unacceptable to at least publicly chance a remark of this kind in the workplace or in the media. Why this is I can only guess.

Prevalent (older) attitudes may account for the continued pay discrepancy between men and women and all that this reflects, but I'd say the Swedes have a very much less subtly-offensive 'working atmosphere' than those I've been part of elsewhere.

Also troubling is the question of 'women/babies/employment', but that's a whole other can of worms; just as a parting shot - men also leave poorly managed jobs when something better in life is offered to them, at least you get up to 9 months warning with women.

This acquisition demonstrates the wisdom of investing in people rather than products. A good team will be flexible and have the ability to take advantage of small pieces of success and build them into hard-won 'luck'.

Being lucky requires the ability to see when you've been handed an advantage and the tenacity to step into and exploit a lucky situation.

Many people just let luck pass them by.

Mercury poles give up hints of water ice
I wouldn't say it, but to be honest, I would definitely think it. And if you say you wouldn't, I call you a liar. Also, I am lucky because I am in a steady relationship and don't have to worry about dating anymore.

What I am going on about is that the "I want to stare at your tits guy" might not be sexist so much as simply inept at dealing with attraction and dating. Calling him a sexist jerk is not going to resolve the issue.

It is not excusing the behavior, but seeking understanding and solutions.

Of course sexist jerks also do exists and have to be dealt with in another way. Also, believe it or not, but if such things go on at a work place, it might make men feel uncomfortable, too. Personally I don't enjoy sexist jokes.
