Noting that the interaction you are accustomed to using a Wacom tablet is far more controlled and rich, I don't think thats the point here at all.

Every artistic medium has constraints, and every artist is used to this fact whether he is a painter or a sculpter. The iPad's input device (capacitive screen) is one such constraint here. What I think is great about this app is how great it can be at capturing a good number of important expressive pieces that are possible in the medium and presenting them as easy to understand tools. In using the app for about 30 mins I felt pretty great about what I was able to create in comparison to other apps on the same medium (iPad apps).
Cashless or cash is not a distinction about technology, but a property of money.

If something is cashless, that mean it is under the custody of third parties. When something is cash, it means that the control belongs to you.

This marks the distinction between bitcoin in your wallet versus bitcoin on a wallet controlled by a bank. Or having paper bills versus having money in paypal.

One aspect of having composable components is knowing how they get composed. The fact that {} and ; may need to be escaped is something having to do with the shell, not with find and it's -exec syntax.

In fact, this is one of those things that is obvious once you learn about shell and how commands lines get expanded and executed. The problem there is that most people don't learn about the shell until forced to by being bitten by something goofy and unintuitive like -exec arguments. The order in which people learn about these things, and it being difficult to discover (in that I can suggest a way to "verify" the command line before running it, but that doesn't help if you don't know how to interpret the results, which also requires experience dealing with the system as a whole) is what causes the catastrophic failure.

That these may need to be escaped is even documented in the find(1) documentation.

-exec command ;
Execute command; true if 0 status is returned.
All following arguments to find are taken to be arguments to
the command until an argument consisting of `;' is encountered.
The string `{}' is replaced by the current file name being
processed everywhere it occurs in the arguments to the command,
not just in arguments where it is alone, as in some versions of
find. Both of these constructions might need to be escaped
(with a `\') or quoted to protect them from expansion by the
shell.
Possibly. But not a given that the copycats will be successful. Can you point to any examples of your thesis?

I was disappointed by the lack of practicality in a lot of the presentation. In some ways there was more flash the substance. The ghost image/time rewind isn't realistic for any real game development. The movie making ipad app was a neat toy but totally impractical in a professional environment.

That said it was a great presentation because showing that flash gets the brain gears turning on realistic ways to increase iteration times.

Don't forget that human beings treat abstractions of money differently the more levels of abstractions there are layered on top.

More likely to steal it, spend it and a bunch of other things. If you want more fraud, more waste, and people more likely to spend it on a whim then this is the direction to go I suppose.
That's ridiculous. What does UNIX and Lisp have to do with the back button?

The patents are assigned to NASA (see for example: http://assignments.uspto.gov/assignments/q?db=pat&pat=75...). If NASA had been funding an outside contractor they would have had a non-exclusive non-transferable 'walk-in' license to the patents; however they must have invented them in-house and so they own them.

One could argue that even though NASA = the gov't funded the R&D that resulted in these patents, they don't need the monopoly rights of patents because if others then take their ideas, no loss!- it could just be considered stimulus spending, which is arguably part of the government's mandate anyway and thus not just a net loss of money on the budget balance sheet...

However, and in my opinion far more importantly, there is a nice incentive structure at work here to the general benefit, which is that by allowing NASA to own and sell intellectual property- but only via the public patent system- you give them a monetary incentive to disclose their patents and put the technology behind them into the public domain. If they had no rights to own the technology, then they would have no clear incentive to ever release it (which is what government agencies do anyway with many top secret technologies- these it does not own exclusivity to, which might be what you were thinking of). However this way, there was an incentive for NASA to file a patent, it did, and people could have been doing incremental/additive R&D based on the publicly disclosed invention spec for the past three years. "On the shoulders of giants" is still a decent credo generally, even (or especially, depending on your perspective) if you have to pay said giant a small licensing fee sometimes...

(Of course there are other huge problems with the patent system but in my opinion this fundamental tenet of creating an incentive structure which encourages (a) invention and (b) disclosure is still- theoretically at least- a vastly good thing for us)
Actually, the context has been deleted and by Joel himself. The OP link to the fogcreek page used to have a lively comments section where Joel was very snippy about Lisp and Paul Graham indeed. He was just being snarky, and didn't sound very smart. I emailed him Paul Graham's lengthy explanation of the usability quirk about the Back button and he modified his previous comments - it's always handy to be the guy who wrote the content management system where the comments are hosted - to include my info and sound less snippy, and essentially took credit for what I showed him.

I gather quite a few people remember that discussion, and that's why he's defending myself as being labelled anti-Lisp. He did sound that way, very strongly.
Delightful!

God says...

34:7 And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with
the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust
made fat with fatness.

34:8 For it is the day of the LORD's vengeance, and the year of
recompences for the controversy of Zion.

34:9 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust
thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning
pitch.

34:10 It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall
go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none
shall pass through it for ever and ever.

34:11 But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also
and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the
line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.

Computational geometry algorithms are often fairly easy to explain, but implementing them robustly in quite tricky. Not only are there many edge cases, you also need to do your calculations with arbitrary precision (at least sometimes) [1]. You're generally much better off to use some library like CGAL [2] instead of rolling your own.

No, your not. Personally I think that on a much more practical level the algorithm evaluator would be a godsend. The animation app and the braid demo just seemed too narrow in their application to really be useful in the real world. The algorithm visualizer? I want it; now. It hurts to do code in my head after seeing that, to the point where I almost abandon hope and try to implement it.
Assuming there is always a letter with a 50% chance and we choose wrong 11 times in a row. One more and game over. At this point we have 11 Bits of information, which is enough to distuingish between 2048 words.

Actually, we should be correct 50% of the time. Which means 22 Bits of information or 4194304 words.

Additionally, we know the length of the word.

The english dictionaries seem to have between 400k and 1000k words [0] of all word sizes. With 22 Bits we get 4000k words. We do not have to worry about getting hanged using the information-reduction algorithm. ;)

Consider the scale of the money supply as managed by a central bank using fiat money. Consider the fraction that's not already electronic, paper currency. Do you really think that turning that to electrons will make a difference?

For reference, in the US, http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h6/current/default.ht... (That's ~$1028 billion in currency, of ~$9755 billion in M2, to say nothing of other assets.)

And when you get down to it, all that makes assets like "gold" (and other commodities) valuable as currency is the promise of being able to exchange it for something in the future. (Unless you were planning to do something useful with the commodity itself, which seems mostly unlikely.) Whether this promise is actually more credible than your favorite fiat currency is a discussable matter, but not perfectly clear.
Ask HN: Can't undertaking & burials be streamlined?
Being a geek I have always looked at cool fb-ish startup idea. But this hit me yesterday.

Muslims, Jews & Christians do bury their dead if they are not cremated. There seem to be two problems with the current model:

1. Graveyards are situated on fertile land which can be rather used for organic farming and housing. The graveyards need to be outside the cities on land where humans cannot build houses or do farming. Food for thought for urban planners.

2. The burial services are very outdated. Why can't this entire burial appointment making, land & coffin selection, ceremony specifics etc. etc. be packed into a cool startup? Something like eventbrite for funerals.

Anyone willing to work on the dead with me? I am a Python-lover/business-guy myself and need someone in North America to handle the execution/traction part. The monetization is very straight forward. I can handle all the product development parts making the application scalable,sleek and simple in design. So don't worry about all that.

Want to change how the dead are buried with me?

Frye's is a brick and mortar retailer of electronics and they seem to be doing pretty well. Granted, they're in the same boat in terms of customer service, but they've at least found a market for themselves.
It's not about having, or being able to develop 'marketing skills'. That's too shallow a sketch of all the tasks a non-technical founder fulfills. I'm an employee of two technical founders that have developed all the skills necessary, but if I see which they are and which tasks they fulfill (all kinds of business administration, HRM, legal, PR, sales, marketing, company strategy and planning, procurement, CRM, etc.) then I would be glad to be able to let a future non-technical co-founder that actually likes a portion of that stuff deal with that. They hardly have time to code anymore :(.

So, in short: a non-technical co-founder fulfills many tasks and likes them. A technical founder would be smart to associate with a non-technical founder, so both can do what they're good at.

Yes. RIM still has a huge installed base, enterprise sales force, and is still the de-facto "secure" solution. If they could co-opt Android's app ecosystem and build a high-quality, secure Android, they could make a huge dent in the business market.

I proposed this to a RIM BD exec about 2 years ago, but he insisted it would be throwing away way too much of RIM's investment in secure kernels.

But in my mind, the battle was already lost: even most biz users aren't choosing a device based on the nth degree of security. If anything, they love the keyboard.

And for the small niche that truly needs security, RIM could keep one or two BBOS models alive.

Maybe they could still pull off such a strategy?

> The capacitive screen (even on "new" iPad) only has about a 6mm capacitive resolution

I told this to a rather well known analytic design guy, before he went to Frisco to lecture at Apple before the release of iPad 2: the input resolution needs to be a lot better.

16 months on, no improvement. I can only hope tablet designers have boxed themselves in: there's not much more to improve on this thing. I've got the new ipad, the first gen ipad, and the touchpad. They're all stone cold awesome. But their drawing inputs still fail miserably compared to a sharp pencil. Hell, most erasers are more precise than a tablet.
Looks like it's fixed in cyanogenmod, at least on my phone. The app clocksync can show you how off you are.

The only thing preventing them from being great again is institutional inertia. They still have a lot of sales, a strong enterprise footprint, brand and sales force. And they have a lot of users hooked on physical keyboards.

If they could just turn on a dime, they could easily own the enterprise market again by co-opting a modern OS with an app ecosystem (Android?)
