Wrong. Mike Daisey presented his lies AS FACTS to reputable news organizations.

I'm not wrong. I said that he's not a journalist, and that's true. He's a playwright.

Beyond that, and beyond what I heard him say on This American Life, I have no idea. The man could be a pathological liar. But he's not a journalist, and never pretended to be one.
Because the only monopoly they have is on Apple products. There are other phones, other laptops and other tablets available. No one is being forced to develop for IOS, no one is being forced to buy Apple products whether they want them or not. They may be the currently dominant player in the smartphone category, but unless both Google and Microsoft decide to abandon that market they can't be said to have a monopoly.

tl;dr: You may not like their policies regarding selling their software to their audience, but you are not required to participate in their marketplace to sell software.

I just tried this out and it works perfectly. A worthwhile note is that it also outputs line numbers if you enable them in Vim.
I see this as a good thing. The first step towards CyanogenMod being shipped with actual phones is fixing up some of the biggest handicaps it currently has.

It's just like the unknown sources setting. I could reliably be more confident when installing CM onto friends & family's phones with the assurance that they can't instantly screw something up.
It's bound to happen given the collapse of industrial America (blue collar unemployment among men has skyrocketed). Not to mention the way that women are out-graduating men in almost every respect (high school and college).

Women dominate jobs such as nursing, healthcare and education; which compared to manufacturing have done very well. America has lost half of its manufacturing jobs since the mid to late 1990s.

Seems like even the fastfood jobs are dominated by young women. Step into a Dairy Queen and it's all women. Sometimes it seems like the young guys won't take a job if it's not up to expectations.

The outlier male earners are the only thing even keeping the ratios separate at this point.

How beginning programmers should read a quickstart guide
Ubuntu LTS variants allow the creation of 'PPA' repos of your own, so you can use apt-get for your own software.

You upload a source file & it makes a package out of it for you.

These Python programmers could potentially run circles in smartness around you or Theo. Or not. But it has nothing to do with the back-porting under discussion.

Not desiring to undertake a big code changing effort != stupidity.

Especially when you aren't even paid to do it.

Actually, considering that you would then have a patched mess of a codebase, or have to support to codebases for users of older Python versions, it's actually the smart thing to do.

And it's not like OpenBSD ever got anywhere --if you insist of using it as an example that "not moving backwards ever" is a plus. What's its adoption percentage again?

I think there's an upper limit to the quality of entrepreneurial mentorship you can give, mostly as a function of (1) the mentors and (2) the mentor-entrepreneur ratio. Right now, YC invests in roughly $20k/company * 60 companies/batch * 2 batches/year = $2.4M per year. If they were forced to invest 50-100x that in a year, it'd be really hard to find 50-100x more mentors on the same level as the existing ones.
There are notable exceptions, but in every case of acquisition in the enterprise software space, the PR after the acquisition will always say things will remain the same, it will remain a standalone subsidiary.

But thing usually change, quickly, within a year or two.
Are you kidding me? Did you even watch the video? Correct me if I'm wrong, but they've been trying to get him forever, and they still don't have him, so I wouldnt call that a success.

Great that Rovio makes the fact that Angry Birds was their 52nd game part of their mythology.

Why Apple's Product Launches Rock - A Lesson in CEO Public Speaking
"... Scientists didn't even have photographs of a live one in the wild until 2004. Occasionally, a fishing boat will haul in a big dead or dying blob. ..."

Back in 2008 I watched a giant squid dissection & captured images of the dissection ~ http://www.flickr.com/photos/bootload/sets/72157606211764544... But I don't remember viewing the eye. If memory serves me I think the eye was a casualty of the ascent.

"... There's things down there where their entire bodies are made of snot, they've got detachable heads, their teeth fall out, they explode and they eat their snot jackets. ... There is just weird things going on everywhere. ..." Dr Mark Norman.

It was caught at a depth of 550m by a commercial fishing vessel, 'Zeehaan' off the coast of Portland, Victoria. Weighing in at ~245Kg with a length of 12m the dissection concentrated on finding things out like the length, contents of the stomach, sex & also looking for sperm capsules injected by male squid at speed. The place stank of ammonium and no you couldn't eat it. The flesh is infused with ammonia for buoyancy.

This is an awesome feature. Naturally, Emacs also supports this, right out of the box. Just use M-x htmlfontify-buffer.

EDIT: Also, note that while the VIM one uses a bunch of <font color="..."> tags, the Emacs one uses a bunch of span tags with reasonable class names like "function-name" or "string", so it produces much nicer code and is easy to use with your own CSS.

> I keep reading these sort of articles and wondering why the American people seem so opposed to basic employment law.

Because, for quite a few cultural and structural reasons - e.g. our strong culture of individualism, pluralistic civil society, and common-law as opposed to civil-law tradition - Americans are relatively skeptical of allowing a priori regulatory intervention into the immediate circumstances of their lives.

People here generally believe that they ought to be free to make their own arrangements without outside intervention, that law should only be used as a failsafe mechanism, and that legislation/regulation are only necessary where the existing constraints within civil society and case-by-case judicial process have not successfully averted a significant problem.

There are plenty of exceptions to this, of course, but what you call "basic employment law" is quite often regarded as an unjustified intrusion into people's private affairs.

> You all seem to agree that you work too long and don't get enough holiday.

Sounds like a case of "the van is always at the corner". Some people may complain; but most people do have more than adequate vacation time, and, apparently, there are more people who choose not even to use all of their vacation time (36%) than there are who complain of overwork (33%) [1]. Despite what the consultant quoted in that article says, it does appear that it's usually a voluntary choice.

Wow, that is some tasty link-bait, nicely done CNN.

Considering that the article goes on to disprove its own headline - eg it says women are NOT out-earning men, but MIGHT sometime this decade with their specialized data set - I call "flag".

And then we've got some gems from the article :

"Mundy's research shows that women are out-earning men all around."

Thank goodness for Mundy - because 143 of 144 articles referenced in Wikipedia on this subject are showing completely opposite data:

Website Optimization Factors Affect Organic Search
Web optimization is playing a vital role in SEO process. It increases readability and visibility of your website for both search engine and users. Website optimization contains so many factors like content, keyword placement, Meta tags, anchor text, link popularity, inbound links, website structure and many more that affect your organic search and maximize your page rank. You can have website optimization services from professionals.
I'm not sure this has a positive effect on men's psyche, considering that men have been the main provider of food/resources for much of history.

It's no secret that women are evolutionarily wired to respond to confidence, and traditionally a man's confidence is rooted in his ability to provide for women.

The net effect is that the men who think logically and cannot cultivate a sense of confidence without a logical reason for doing so (and this tends to be intellectuals) will find it far more difficult to attract women.

One can only hope we evolve into a society that doesn't constantly badger men with the idea that they need to be rich and successful to attract women (essentially being an amazing provider), because aligning with these beliefs will only make it more difficult in an era where women are significantly out-earning men
Eh, your wife wants you 250 miles away? Does that really seem good?
GarlicSim: Open-source Pythonic framework for computer simulations
It is also fair to say, that jobs that need men are slowly vanishing. In other words, women are easy to compete for jobs that were only doable by men. For example, trucking, construction, even farming can be done by women, because of automation and advanced tools, that doesn't require much physical strength.

The more automation the higher chances of women to succeed.

However, automation itself is dominated by men. tech industry is an example.
Future may be better for men, where their only job may be to fight wars or relax.
"Lock in" is a particularly loaded term, and I have to disagree with its use here in that they've given you a way to export everything should you want to. Not doing the work to integrate with other system is not "lock in".
One possible explanation of why people with an iPad app are more engaged - speed

Really an unfair article. The premise, title, and bulk have nothing to do with what actually happened.

With his custom software he's solving a completely different problem with a different algorithm that was only possible based on observations unique to his dataset:

I originally started with code very similar to the C++ STL set intersection code and was dissatisfied with the results. By observing that the longer sequences will skip more items than the shorter sequences, I wrote a 2-level loop that skips over items in the longer sequence before performing comparisons with the shorter sequence. That got me roughly a 2x performance advantage over the STL variant.

Let's call this apples. Then he talks about how using C++ STL wouldn't do the trick since he doesn't care about the data, only the count (oranges). And how bloom filters applied naïvely to the raw data would still take longer (zebras).

He's solving a completely different problem, and lambasting perfectly viable technologies for taking longer to solve a completely different problem.

Now obviously there's a good blog post and moral in there: don't solve the wrong problem. Generic algorithms can't be both generic and special at once - they're not always going to give you what you're looking for and only what you're looking for, and that's a cost to be taken into consideration at any time that you're trying to choose a solution. But don't criticize them for being slow, and then in a postscript say "and I don't need the actual results of this algorithm, anyway."
Only common method I know of checking for root is the existence of the su binary.. free apps already exist on the market to temporarily rename or move the binary elsewhere and defeat these checks.
Probably a little too off-topic, but after years of using similar "custom" methods of doing syntax highlighting, trying several WordPress plugins to automatically highlight, and several other options, I have found embedding GitHub Gists in blog posts to be the most reliable and lowest maintenance approach.

This probably won't matter to most people, but if you're the kind of person that has tutorials or examples or any other kind of thing you try to keep up to date in a blog post over the years, things like TOhtml make it hard to quickly edit and maintain the code, while WordPress plugins invariably do a poor job, add too much to the processing time (though you should be using a caching solution), and break on upgrade. For me, GitHub's Gists were a godsend.

I have to agree with appsurd. This sounds like a great idea right now, and you've worked everything out--wait until you've down it for a week.

I moved up to Portlandia from LA to intern at Vizify and thought it would go according to the plan as well. I was also going to document my process as I thought it would make for some interesting content.

I thought the condition would create a pressure that would make me perform and produce more--all it did was create a pressure of homelessness, which killed my productivity. I was always tired and depressed AND dirty.

You're plan makes sense conceptually--but wait till you're actually there and homeless. Figure out an alternative otherwise your productivity will suffer big time and you might as well stay home and make shit happen there.

Good luck!!!
R does have call-by-need semantics, like (an impure) Haskell, but that's not why replicate's second argument gets evaluated multiple times:

replicate <- function (n, expr, simplify = TRUE)
sapply(integer(n),
eval.parent(
substitute(function(...) expr)),
simplify = simplify)

The replicate function uses R's compute-on-the-language to construct a new function that has expr as its body.

A closure's argument will be evaluated at most once.

Actually, the only example it seems to apply to so far is Facebook; maybe also some stuff Google does sometimes. Open-source is a meta-example, because if we're comparing it with Facebook and Google+, I should probably list every major open-source program that doesn't turn you into product, and compare by the numbers. Many of those project even earn their authors money (AKA not every business model for earning money on free products is based on selling users).

The primary function is on the paid app that an admin can monitor many devices (iphones, android devices, laptops, etc) from a single interface, and even get periodic reports that a device is still functioning properly and at a known location.

If the only device you own is an iPhone, there's probably not an advantage. If you've got several devices or are in a small company IT department with a mixed environment, it unifies them in a very nice way.
"It's actually likely that Apple fast tracked all submissions made recently."

Or there's a high correlation between the apps you installed and the ones that were fast tracked?

"the latter provides instant feedback and full control."

Sure sing the praises of the wildly successful Android Marketpl-- oh wait they had to rebrand it.

Moreover the difference here is that I am not claiming google's model is insane and has no advantages. There are clearly several strong advantages to it. But let's be clear it also has some huge negatives: security, fraud, average quality, spam, discoverability, etc.

Ticking off one spec where google has an advantage and declaring Apple's far more successful store insane is laughable.
Really? I find the opposite; gimp has a two minute load time and an interface that expects you to study it. Audacity opens up and gives you big obvious buttons for the simple things - if anything it looks too simple, as if all you can do is basic cutting and splicing.
So have you read HN's website code? Do you know where to find it? It must be somewhere, since I remember seeing a sort of "Quant Finance News" website whose appearance was identical to HN. They must have used the same codebase -- where to look?

FWIW I'v been using Text::VimColor (Perl interface to vim's syntax hilighting) on my blog for several years now. Mostly because I talk a lot about Perl 6, and there aren't many hilighters for Perl 6 code around.

In the beginning it sometimes produced Mojibake, which I finally nailed on a missing locale. And it's a bit slower than the usual hilighter, because it spawns a new vim process for each snippet to be hilighted. Still a good choice.
Because they don't have a majority share of any major market, despite what their press releases say. They own a fraction of the cellphone, laptop, mobile markets.

And they are being investigated for anti-trust WRT price-fixing on e-books. Only letting apps they approve onto their own platform is not anti-competitive or monopolistic, in fact it's the reason they're losing to Android 2:1. They're weakening their position in the market with every one of these stories that comes out.

"Have you ever used the STL? I did for about 6 months professionally, and I'm glad that I could go back to C and Python. More seriously, object orientation in C++ doesn't come for free. Aside from the pain of the syntax of using C++ templates (and difficult to parse error messages), all of that object orientation hides the complexity of method dispatch in what are known as vtables. If your system has to call them to dispatch, you are wasting time in that processing when you could be doing something else."

This fragment made me WTF, so either I missed something in the C++ development of last few years, or...

a) How can you make standard-OOP-like method dispatch faster than vtables?

b) Since when STL uses so much of virtual functions anyway? Last time I checked, it avoided any kind of polymorphism at all, for speed reasons. (and it doesn't really need to use much; C++ templates are nice tools that can make a pointer to function and a function object work in the same place just because you can stick "()" to the right of the passed parameter and it will compile, no run-time work needed).

c) (it seems to be implied, though not explicitly stated). Going faster than STL... in Python?
