Aside: One of the things that I really don’t like about R coming from a background in other programming languages is that a function is evaluated before its arguments; i.e. an expression passed as a parameter to a function is not a value but is an implicit lambda, to be evaluated multiple times somewhere inside the function.

For example:

replicate(2, rnorm(2))

creates a 2x2 matrix of independent random values. Whereas:

x <- rnorm(2)
replicate(2, x)

Instead creates a 2x2 matrix with a single random value for each row, repeated across all columns. And so if you want to decompose it, you need to do:

x <- function() rnorm(2)
replicate(2, x())

Which will re-call x twice inside the replicate function.

On the one hand I feel excited for Kurt- such raw enthusiasm! This must be some kind of landmark for tech froth- that voluntarily becoming homeless in the pursuit of startup gold sounds like a good idea to some people.

This will sound mean but this is a really bad idea. A really, really terrible idea. Being homeless is not something to aspire to. You're due for a dope slap if you follow through with this, and I think life will oblige you in spades.

Seriously Kurt, not all that glitters is gold. There is nothing in Silicon Valley that will magically transform you into a super entrepreneur. There is no reason why you can't bootstrap your business until you can arrange enough cash to get a roof over your head.

I think it's demographics-related as well; Apple owners are more likely to be vaguely left-ish, interested in sustainability and fair trade, etc., than a typical Dell owner is. Same reason imo that Starbucks has more image problems with coffee sourcing than Dunkin Donuts does, because Starbucks customers as a demographic care more about things like coffee sourcing, or at least are more sensitive to hearing complaints about it.

In Matlab, where one is generally compelled (for better or worse) to think in terms of array operations, the obvious code would be:

plot(mean((cumprod(randn(100,1000) .* 0.03) .* 15))

Well, that is assuming one wants a line plot of the mean value of the "location" at each time point across the population of walks. Personally, I find R's rather idiosyncratic approaches to data handling and function wrangling a bit hard to digest.

Prey iOS app dev here,

The app is technically ready to be submitted I'm waiting on some last graphic details that need to be designed yet, so as the post says any day next week we will submit the app which will be diligently tweeted (@preyproject) and hopefully (with Apple's blessing) it will become available on the last days of this month.

In the meantime, you can check what we've been doing here: https://github.com/prey/prey-ios-client. *

*As you may note, it doesn't compile since the project includes the In-App Purchases classes which are private and part of a submodule. Delete those references and you'll be good to hack :)
At no point did I say they weren't doing anything illegal. Just that it doesn't 'suddenly happen'. They're huge, and very, very slow moving.
> "Look both ways before you cross the street"

This meme is getting boring and should die.

It's not true in many cases, from one-way streets (only need to look one way) to blind corners (even looking you might not see the car)

* It's not a meme by any definition of the word, it's an aphorism. It's a damn good rule of thumb since the only actual example you could come up with where it doesn't apply is open-source. Even then, the context of this saying is clearly concerning commercial projects so it's not even a good example.

That's pure BS. I know of a couple of companies which had done work for gov't agencies which were screwed by powerful individuals in said agencies doing blatantly illegal things. In both cases, the companies involved refused to go along, and paid the price. 7 years down the road, they were "cleared", but the companies' owners had suffered great financial and personal devastation. Nothing happened to the gov't individuals save promotions.

I love R, but it can be frustrating to code with and learn. Some of its datatypes are immensely powerful but work in mysterious ways. It allows you to manipulate expressions in a LISP macro-like fashion which, when used badly by library authors, can make many things appear magical (and inconsistant). There are many inconsistencies in the standard library because of different programming paradigms used (for example (s|m|t|r)apply() vs. Map() and filtering with df$col[] vs. subset() vs. Filter() ).

Yet I love writing code in it. So much can be done in so little code. I am always amazed at how little code I write to accomplish a task.

The RStudio IDE ( http://rstudio.org/ ) is a very pleasant environment to write code in.

That's frustrating. Especially since the Kindle app falls under the category of "paid content is available, but no references are available in-app".

With all of the great improvements Apple has made to the App Store submission process, it's frustrating there's still such inconsistency and so few ways to speak with someone reasonable. From what I hear the review team is busting their asses off, but it's still frustrating (and a bit baffling) for something that represents such a large part of the success of iOS.

Just got the update Marco. You nailed it with the new fonts. Looks really nice in retina!
Sad that you have to be so publicly critical of someone you think is being so publicly thankful.

Moving on... given that he thought it would take 7-10 days I think it was completely appropriate of him. He worked hard and got an extra boost. I'd rather be supportive than snarky.
Presumably this is only true if the application is trying to access your contacts through the contacts API. The files containing your in ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook hierarchy are set to permission 600 by the user - so any application run by that user could theoretically capture those contacts, unless Mountain Lion has put some additional file permissions on them.

I understand how on it's mobile IOS, where application installations (and the environment) are theoretically vetted for their "safety" and "privacy" these protections make sense.

On the Desktop, where one needs to be very, very cautious before installing an app - it makes somewhat less sense.

Users need to be aware on a desktop that they should rarely, if ever, install an application that hasn't been thoroughly vetted by a well known and respected publisher. And the presence in the Apple Store is _not_ such a vetting (yet).

I wonder if Apple is going to try and go that direction, and lend some veil of "safety" to Apps in the Apple Store. Not sure how they can without some serious code auditing -OS X is not IOS (despite common underpinnings) and enforcing sandboxes is going to be much more difficult in that environment.

I think Marco Arment licensed those fonts. They don’t come with iOS. Would be nice, though, if Apple were to finally step it up again in the typography department, especially now that they have devices that can show beautiful and detailed fonts off.

You'll never know how easy/hard it is to find clients as a consulting company as big and probably as expensive as Pivotal. Maybe at some point the business model isn't as good as it could have been. Maybe potential clients balked down. Maybe the sales cycle is long enough that the profit has become marginal.

It's "easy and affordable" until you get seriously ill and they drop you for failing to disclose your childhood acne, or just refuse to approve the treatment you need.

Private insurance is cheaper than group coverage for a reason. The insurance company has no intention of paying benefits for e.g. cancer patients, and they'll drag out the process in the hope that you'll just die first. Assuming you live long enough, you'll probably have to sue them to get anything out of them.

Well you would like your own posting, wouldn't you.
It's easier to pick on prey than it is to pick on amazon, large companies in general are bullies but apple especially, watching continuous slow motion train wrecks like this makes my stomach turn. But hey, that's the way the world goes I guess.
Consulting is also a real PITA management-wise. You have to map billable hours to available resources, sometimes even unavailable resources you haven't even hired yet. That's really hard to scale.

Seems like a good move after reading the post.
so i used to have a lot more sympathy for people who got fucked over by apple in this manner. and i guess i still do feel sorry for them, but my main emotion when reading stories like this nowadays is an intense sense of frustration that developers continue to deal with the apple/ios ecosystem at all. it's always been an abusive relationship, and nothing looks likely to change about that, so why do it? is the money really that good?
I hadn't visited Mashable in some time. I wonder if they can possibly load any more crap on one page.

Or do you suppose they're at their absolute crap loading limit, explaining why there isn't even more crap on that page?
Especially now (vs. when they first launched the App Store), Apple is seamless and efficient compared to the way mobile apps worked before the open smartphone platforms. You had to negotiate for 6-24mo to get on a carrier's deck.

I wish Apple provided a way to install non-approved apps without jailbreaking, either in some kind of custom security container or entirely at your own risk. I specifically would like to see "adult" (porn) apps allowed (as a free speech issue, and because I think they could be popular), but I'm aware of both Apple's desire to be PG rated and the likely influx of crappy spam which would ensue from porn apps. HTML5 pretty much covers this niche now.

The vast majority of my iPad apps had an update today. It's actually likely that Apple fast tracked all submissions made recently.

And there's quite a difference between fast tracked for approval and no approval process. The former requires the developer to the submit to a black box process, the latter provides instant feedback and full control.

To me "the biggest overnight success award" goes to Andrey Ternovskiy for Chatroulette. The site climbed high in rankings fast, quickly started generating profits, hundreds of clones came to life (of none of course got any traction although everyone was making it better), you could buy the "roulette script" online and do your own site, and Andrey score a visa to US to work on some other startups, as far as I know. This, in any possible measures, especially with someone of 17 years old, I personally call "overnight success".

There was also a guy selling pixels, which was stunning to me how his out of box thinking got him a million bucks (he is working on a cool idea raising charity money for Africa now). Of course plenty other similar website popup, but none got traction.
