While a vast improvement on the past, "Navigate to" doesn't find stuff intelligently like Resharper's jump... e.g. if I have a file "LabListView", I can type "llv" in the "go to" window and it'll be highlighted (I could type any combination of characters but I tend to use the capitalised letters). VS2010 just shows an empty list when I do that -- I have to type a complete partial name.

I could also be imagining this, but I have the feeling Resharper remembers which files are related when I select them from this list because if there's more than 1 match it almost always seems to have the right one at the top of the list based on my current context.
Anyone ever hit up Linus to add the 'git statsu' command? That would really help me out.

I had an original Droid from Verizon, and Verizon still pushed updates to me even at the two year mark, including an upgrade to the latest Android OS a year after purchase.

"Or perhaps I'm being naive and there's something else that's holding up updates other than technical issues with drivers/hardware compatibility."

In the United States at least, mobile firmware updates are subject to the approval of mobile carriers. Most phones that are released in both the United States and Europe are updated in the latter region before the former. American carriers are also a primary reason why most phones do not run stock Android [1].

Since some revenue sharing is already in place [2], and carriers make money regardless of what Android version their customers are on, I do not think it is the answer. Unless Google can find a way to reduce the control that carriers have (by weaning Americans off of subsidized phones, or by restricting Android software customization similar to iOS or Windows Phone), I am not sure things will change for the better.

All the biggest open-source contributors I know made many of their contributions while collecting a paycheck. That doesn't make the work less valuable.

I kicked in a few bucks to the project because just earlier today I wanted to run a small sintra project and had to be walked through a complicated toolchain installation that wasted time and caused frustration.

Here's to hoping he can make it legitimately simple again!
I've come to the conclusion that any android phone outside of the nexus line is garbage.

The nexus phones however are arguably better than iPhones.

Another difference, of course, is that when you casually walk into a frat house, there is no contract between you and the frat. There is an appropriate time to discover a cultural mismatch: the job interview. Once there is an employment contract, the law is involved and the law in this country is rather precise about what may not constitute part of your workplace culture.

I have never worked at a company in which the workplace culture really achieved anything like the kind of professionalism my peers in other fields seem to have, but that's irrelevant to the law. If your workplace is perceived hostile, the onus is on the employer to fix it, or face legal repercussions. If you and your two friends form a startup and make life hard on your first employee, that means you--there is no "oh, but if you're a software startup, then your culture is more important" clause.

I think we should endeavor to appreciate the broadness of this protection rather than complain about having to grow up just because in our particular industry, we haven't had to yet. If you still need an outlet for your "culture," form a private club (analogous to a frat) and invite your buddies from work, but keep it out of the workplace.

Dojo I've consistently run into compatibility issues with over the years, as it seems a bit IE-centric and it's still pretty heavy weight.

I have used Dojo since .4 and have not had many cross browser issues, and the few I have had have mainly been concentrated in IE6 I think I had one issue with FF in that time and it was in one of the dojox libs and one issue with Safari which was a bug with Dojo and was resolved with the next release.

As for it being heavy, Dojo does have a wealth of libraries in it, but the Require.js build system strips the production release of Dojo down to what you need, as well now that they are using requires you can bundle all of your assets up into the build.

On the subject of ImageBundle I don't know the implementation details, but I would assume that it is just generating HTML Image Maps and/or CSS sprites which is pretty easy to do in PhotoShop as well there are a bunch of online generators where you upload a set of image files and it generates the coordinated for each one for you. Here is a link to a sprite generator http://csssprites.com/ . I don't think you will find a pure JavaScript library that does that for you, as most people just use PhotoShop or one of the online applications.

GO IS AWESOME

GO IS A FUCKING WASTE OF TIME

HOW DO I MAKE JAVASCRIPT TALK TO GO?
"We announced our self-driving car project in 2010 to make driving safer, more enjoyable, and more efficient."

OK so Google Labs is shut down and Google starts charging for various APIs but decides the world needs to be a better place so invests into this? I'm skeptical (even though I think this is AWESOME). What's the real story here?

Is it the extra eyeball time they get by having self-driving cars? Whereas in the past people would spend 20-60 minutes, or more, concentrating exclusively on driving each day, they could now spend that time online? I guess growth at Google is difficult when you're already the most popular search engine in the world and there's a fixed 24 hour day, the best you can do is change the % of that time people spend online, and implicitly, using your search engine. No doubt the front-end will feature Internet connectivity with a Google portal.
Google also offered Oracle a 0.5 percent of Android revenue through the end of this year

Anybody knows how much actual revenue Google generates directly from Android?
It was meant ironically but offended anyway, and they didn't fix it when she complained. "We were being ironic!" is a lousy defense when all they had to do was turn it off when she asked.
iOS (iPod and iPad2) and Android user (Samsung Exhibit II) here.

The OP brings up many valid concerns, and asks, as a consumer, how much is one willing to tolerate this?

My answer: A very long time, as long as Android phones and plans continue to smoke iPhone on price and provide an "almost iOS" experience.

The Exhibit II has Android 2.3.5 installed. T-Mobile charges US$30 per month for 100 minutes of talk, unlimited messaging, and 5GB of 4G data; thereafter it reverts to slower data and 10 cents per minute of talk. I am not a heavy talker, nor do I stream video or audio (and when I do it's usually within wifi range). When I was looking for a plan, I saw a similar offer for a Virgin plan (I think it was US$35). Friends overseas tell me even cheaper Android plans are offered through local carriers.

For owners of Android handsets, using Facebook, Twitter, email, Web, and most mobile news sites is comparable to iOS. I miss Instagram, but it is coming soon to Android, and in the meantime I make do with Path. There are a few other missing Android apps, and the UX is slightly inferior, but considering it's $30/month, it's good enough.

To many people, that's the value of Android. The UX is very similar to iOS, it handles most smartphone functions, and it's a lot cheaper.
Thanks for pointing it out. I wish they used that in their "hello, world" example because 'println("hello, world")' leaves a much better first impression of simplicity.

I generally like to see things kept simple. But formatting is a common need and they've actually made things less simple by providing both fmt.Println() and println(). It means the same program will inevitably contain both, depending on who did the editing. There are times when a feature is so basic that it really should have exactly one way to do it, and I think printing is in that category.
I want it, but only if Home Depot sells it for under $30.
Show HN: Web prototyping with vim, OS X, HAML and SASS
One other thing, if Android/Google execs read this: for the love of God go ahead and admit that there is a need for tablet apps. It's the first step in solving the problem - admitting you have a problem. As long as you have the attitude that phone apps work "just as well" on tablets, developers will have the exact same attitude and will not care as much. It also "helps" that you don't really want to emphasize tablet apps in their own categories, so devs have little incentive to build them.

Also, wake up and promote this heavily, before you lose the tablet market forever. The iPad advantage is growing by the day, and Windows 8 tablets are coming, too, and even though I'm not a fan of Windows 8, I'm almost certain Microsoft will be able to brag about having more apps for ARM tablets than Android has for tablets at the time, because I'm sure they will be just as aggressive about it as they are with WP7 apps. You simply can't afford to stay on your asses and let apps come to you. I know that's Google's attitude towards it right now, because it's obvious from how Andy Rubin and Eric Schmidt speak at events. Change that! Fast!

It's simply inexcusable that you've launched Honeycomb more than a year ago and all you have to show for it is a few hundred tablet apps. The Nexus tablet will not change that if it's only 7", even if it's a popular tablet. I don't think devs will bother to make "tablet apps" for a 7" tablet. They'll just leave the phone apps, which look rather well on 7", and Kindle Fire is an example of that.

So I don't know what you have to do, pay each developer, hold a $100 million contest for Android tablet apps, reject their apps if they don't also make a tablet version within 6 months - whatever. Just do it and be very aggressive about it, because you've lost a lot of time with the Honeycomb launch failure, and now you only have little time before Amazon's ecosystem or Microsoft's ecosystem become bigger than Android on tablets, too. And that's without even mentioning the enormous and growing iPad ecosystem. That's why you need to start being pro-active about tablets apps like yesterday.
They are not planning to attack Google's name servers, just the root servers that hold the delegations for the TLDs.

The .com delegation is set to cache for 48 hours, for example. This simply will not work at all.
Your first point isn't really valid, they are an ad company, paid apps don't fit their business model. Providing a phone OS, ad service, and free apps that interact with their core services however are.

The second is more interesting though. They actually do use it quite a bit. Its the kind of thing they use internally, and the employees use for personal projects or when they need something technical for an external presentation. Also, app engine is probably built to serve a different purpose to their other services.
Delegations from the root to the TLDs and from the TLDs to second-level domains generally have TTLs of over 24 hours. This attack will have zero effect.
My limited understanding of desalinization is that we avoid it not because of the expense, but because it's environmentally damaging to put a giant pipe in the ocean sucking up water that happens to bring a lot of fish and such with it.

Well, given the recent post about getting Access running on the web, I reckon you could take it to the next level: get Access running on Wine under Linux emulated in JavaScript on a web browser. Or get DOSBOX to run any old school line of business application in a web browser under any operating system.
Fair to be cautious... however I don't believe ANYTHING ANY government says. EVER. Aside from them telling you they will kill/arrest you.

Yes, china relies heavily on resource import - this is why they have been actively securing all the natural resources of Africa.

There was an amazing article written in 2008 called "China storms Africa" or something that went into detail about this.

EDIT HERE IT IS - READ THIS: http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/126/special-report-china...

It talked about China having a 50-100 year plan to secure resources.

When have you seen the US think further than 4 years in advance.

They don't.

The US is dead. A husk - a farce and a country who has seriously lost its way.

Instead, we rely on the threat of our oil based military to scare countries into submission. We are incapable of long term thinking.

This is wrong. It is only one reason for burnout. I have another.

I burned out because I can no longer care enough about what I'm doing at work to motivate my mind to work on the task at hand. It seems fruitless. People can try to convince me there is some good it is doing, but I see only waste and politics. That resentment is not because my workplace doesn't care about my family. They treat me better than any place I could ever hope to work for. The only sacrifice I've had to make for work is my sanity. I cannot stand development anymore, nor technology, nor I.T., but I'm incapable of doing anything else. I've read the books that say I must love what I do, but I don't, and there is no option to love what I do. I have chosen an occupation and career that no longer suits me, and I have no alternative. I am the only one with a job in my family. I cannot fail. I have to trudge on. This is burnout. I have no where to go.

Therefore, I would state instead that burnout is caused by lack of hope.
10 years of Linux and Red Hat Linux 9 (Shrike) is the best OS i have ever used
I never saw the survey. I guess I'm part of the silent majority, and therefore not reachable by ubuntu.

Distro drama is beginning to nudge my awareness.

I don't like Unity (and it's more than fine if you do), which is partly why I went to Lubuntu. Windows and a panel, and all I have to think about is what I'm thinking about.

I thank Ubuntu greatly for what they've done, but I believe within a year or two I'll go upstream to Debian and LXDE. I'll probably miss the repositories, until I don't.

.015% is pretty funny as a "fuck you" number. On a billion in revenue, that's 150k, or probably about what they pay one senior developer in a year.
Er, while trying to research Jessamyn, I think you instead tracked down the leader of the Dreamwidth project, Denise Paolucci. Yes, she updates the Dreamwidth documentation, among other things...
Hey, I've made a start on an ARM emulator. (Hardly anything done, unreleased, nothing runs yet.) I'll email you.
Smartphones are a commodity. I hate my Samsung Galaxy. It destroyed the Samsung and Android brands for me. When it's time for me to get a new phone, I'll definitely pick an alternative (probably an iPhone). Doesn't matter if there's a Galaxy 5 running Android 6 by then.

Same thing played out with US vs Japanese car manufacturers. People have lasting memories when they feel that they spent money on an inferior product.

There are at lot of phones where there are not a stable ics rom even half a year after google released it.

So it's not just hard, but impossible.
Do phones really /need/ to be updated to new OS versions? I recently upgraded to a Galaxy Nexus, and while ICS is pretty nice, I honestly think I could have lived with Froyo or Gingerbread for another couple years.

I doubt that would ever happen typically technology runs a two party system. I would more look to windows phone 7 catching up. The only saving grace of android is that I would say Java developer slightly outnumber C# developers. If they don't change soon and basically actually try administrating the system it might come to an end. Google needs to hiring someone primarily for administrating android not just people to innovate for it.
I am not a great open source contributor, but I always come across bugs, performance issues, feature improvements etc. which I contribute to the open source projects I am using. In closed source all I can do is raise a bug request / feature request and wait till the team decides to fix it or never. All the features / scenarios / corner cases may not be encountered / thought of by the main development team and it is great that a real user can contribute to the project to make it better. With Github, feature improvements / bug fixes are just a fork away.

Granted, this is not going to be applicable in the same way to something like the ASP.NET etc. but open source works, for me.
Pretty cool, but I always imagined it would be easier to build a "tricorder dock" for smartphones (with drivers for the new sensors and the necessary software/apps) - there's a lot more you could do with it, as well...
I don't understand why I can't just install any OS on my mobile computer (phone/tablet) the same way I can install any OS on my desktop computer.

Please somebody, create a start up or two to solve this problem!

Think big, be the next Microsoft!
Would realy love to see a documentary of this Batman. Seems like he would move more people then the Dark Knight.
That's exactly what I was thinking :-)...
This is true techy people have this option, but google needs to think ourside this market. Android needs to move beyond the 18-20 year old college or college bound male demographic if it's going to grow. It needs to simple enough for your grandma run it. Your phone should update with the latest features as soon as they are available not a year down the line. It's like playing roulette when buying a phone trying to find out which OEM will update there OS on time and which will not.
Am I the only one that's happy with their Android phone? Sure, I wish I could get cyangen mod on my phone, but oh well that I can't. I prefer the experience far over iOS and others. I like being able to change various aspects of my phone without jail breaking it. I like the user experience vastly more than iPhone's, primarily because of that back button. And, even on my old Motorola Droid, I never saw a "your phone can't support this app" problem.
IPad mini to be closer in size to Samsung's Note?
Instant and Easy Screen Sharing with Screenleap
I picked up a Galaxy S2 recently because a client asked me to do an Android port of an iOS app.

As a communication device, I think it easily trounces the iPhone, even though its only running 2.3. The Google accounts integration is a lot smoother than mail on the iPhone and the phone features are better overall. And I never want to go back to pecking out text messages one letter at a time after using Swype.

However, as an apps platform it sucks for all the well known reasons. I think the reason that Android phones have sold so well is that the core features are at least as good as the iPhone. It's too bad, because I actually prefer the way they do a lot of things in the SDK (resource management, for instance). But I agree Google needs to get things under control soon.
As an Android consumer, one of my biggest gripes is paid apps slowly increasing their permissions until they require everything.

Google has to allow downloads of previous versions if a paid app starts upping permission requirements OR providing an app by app permission blacklist for non-rooted phones.
If, like most software patents, it is the sort of "invention" that a senior developer could independently discover and implement in less than a year, that sounds pretty fair to me.

Request: RSS feed to return "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" HTTP header set to * to enable all sources, for both GET and OPTIONS requests.

Details: To read HN more conveniently both on desktops and on iPad I would like to have fewer headings per page, have them in larger font etc, I am writing my own, magazine like (or Flipboard like) HTML viewer. I don't want the data from HN to travel via my server, fetching it directly from the browser.

However fetching RSS from the client side, at least on Chrome, and going forward on any modern browser, would require obtaining permission from the Cross Domain site.
Currently RSS returns none. Chrome reports error, will not allow JavaScript code to process. For the development purposes I fake it via proxy (Fiddler2) but once coded it would either require RSS returning the right header, or me channeling this request via my server (Google App Engine)

Since the point of having RSS is to publish it to other services, I presume you would not object to such use of your data. If you do, please let me know and I'll stop.

I plant to make HTML/JS/CSS open sourced once it is done.

Apple doesn‘t have a significant revenue stream from existing devices. Why does everyone think they are making lots of money by selling apps and media? They do not.
