Agreed about the value of outside perspectives to resource-poor startups. The (purposefully provocative) point I was trying to make with American Airlines was simply that in all cases design is applied in service to goals which may not be obvious to an outsider.

Of course, an outsider might see what users want more easily than the product team.

I am right with you there, I see two ways it could go, one is that the computer adds information into your visual field about things that are not necessarily around you (calendar appts, tweets, etc) vs adding info and annotating things you are near.

A hands free lets you talk to people who are not close to you but it does nothing for the people near you (there was a submission about smart hearing aids that would be different) and video assistance has the same potential about bringing personally relevant data to you that can even be situationally relevant but only as an artifact (your calendar said you were meeting 'Bob' so you have information about Bob in your eyeset not because something 'knew' you were looking at Bob and thus brought up information about him.)

Personally I'll be thrilled if I can read email on a decent sized 'screen' while sitting what passes for 'nominal seating space' in a modern jet aircraft.
Meh. I had it running on a line at my home for years. It's been on Linode for the last 2.5 with near zero downtime (Linode had one outage in Texas, I've rebooted a few times, and did a distro upgrade once). Looking at moving it to AWS at the moment. Really, it's easy.
> Facebook isn't even the #1 spot right now

FWIW, I interpreted this as the #1 spot for any given category of software. Facebook are clearly the #1 for social and have been so for a while. That's good enough in the context of this discussion.

It surprises me too, actually, given their absolutely terrible mobile apps. :(
Going further - how many great (or at least enjoyable) books or films are the ruminations and self-analysis of a lone individual? Camus' L'Etranger almost qualifies, except it depicts events involving multiple people, even if it never speculates on the motivations of the other characters.

Honesty is not enough. I think Blow is more naive than he, or indeed this reporter, realizes.
All the government departments I've worked with that made use of cloud infrastructure had agreements with the providers to have there own dedicated servers, giving then a private cloud to work with.

It is the Australian government:

"Agencies should note it may also be possible for foreign governments to access information held in their jurisdiction or to access information held in Australia by any company with a presence in their jurisdiction.

For instance, the USA PATRIOT Act 2001 contains provisions allowing the US Government to access information in specified circumstances, (i.e. cases involving suspected terrorism or threats to national security) irrespective of the geographical location and, without necessarily advising the agency."

Note also the second part of the first sentence - I have been told explicitly that we will never be allowed to use Amazon AWS for private information (public websites like data.gov.au already use AWS but have no private areas) even if there were physical datacenters in Australia because their US staff could be coerced under the Patriot Act to access that information and in that case would be ordered to circumvent any logging/audit trails to do so.

It's better to be fired if you've been there a while. You can then collect unemployment for a few months and be really picky. I've actually never been fired but have felt like a sucker when a colleague was fired at the same time I quit and he was getting unemployment while I had nothing. Though you probably need some solid references to make up for a firing.
It's a shame this comment is pithy, because I think it's dead-on.

There times to integrate at the database level. But, the default should be single-application databases.

The rationale is the same as the grandparent's rationale FOR database integration. The odds of needing to share data over time are 1.

Given that shared belief, the problem with database integration is that MANY applications need to share facets of the same data. The single database ends up having a huge surface area trying to satisfy every application's needs.

The resulting schema will have definitions relevant for applications A, B, and C but X, Y and Z.

But, worse, there are dependencies between each application's working schema. This means ensuring integrity becomes harder with every application that integrates.

Finally, integration points are the hardest to change after-the-fact. The more services that integrate, the less ability to make the inevitable model changes necessary to fix mistakes/scale/normalize/denormalize/change solutions.

Thus, "build an api" is the best solution. Well-defined APIs and data-flows between applications helps data and process locality and avoids most of the problems I just listed. The trade-off is you're now meta-programming at the process level— the complexity doesn't disappear, it's just reconceptualised.
They might value it by expecting dividends, or they might value it by expecting the share price to grow, or they might value it by expecting a profitable acquisition. Hell, they might buy it hoping the company will liquidate and disburse its holdings. Dividends are only one possible payout that can come from buying stock.

You and jcampbell are making the same mistake. You're looking at dividends, seeing a reasonable explanation for stock pricing, and then simply asserting that what's reasonable must be true. But it's not true. A ton of things factor into stock pricing and value. Some are rational, like attempting to estimate the future value of dividends or an acquisition. Some are irrational, like assuming that upward trajectory will continue "just because". And others are in the middle, like believing that timing the market is possible.
It is not an exaggeration.

It has happened to me - I lost everything, calendar, email, g+ (which I had not ever updated and had no ToS violations on), absolutely everything.

In the next two days I googled (yes, I did) for answers while receiving automated messages that seemed to indicate I was never getting my accounts back (submitted the form they asked me to, but nothing came of it).

I lost my appointments, contacts, and had business people doubt my veracity, as I'd just given my gmail to several new contacts and their initial emails all bounced.

If I hadn't had multiple friends inside of google I might never have gotten my accounts back, and I heard they weren't even sure what exactly happened other than a confluence of events. I then learned how very very common it is to lose a google account and never know why, and never be able get back anything on them (family pictures, phone numbers stored in contact lists...)

I'm now mostly divested from google and the things I still have there I now have backups and redundancies for.
This makes a ton of sense. We embody this type of brute force "brogramming". Almost gang like efficiency. It's the only way to get things done amidst the red tape normalcy...

Quoting Gabe Newell,

> Well, if we have to sell hardware we will. We have no reason to believe we’re any good at it, it’s more we think that we need to continue to have innovation and if the only way to get these kind of projects started is by us going and developing and selling the hardware directly then that’s what we’ll do. It’s definitely not the first thought that crosses our mind; we’d rather hardware people that are good at manufacturing and distributing hardware do that.

Who do we know that's good at manufacturing and selling hardware? Which company has had explosive growth in the video game sector as a platform provider in the last few years? What company famously has its eye on the television market?

Valve and Apple have priorities and incentives that align nicely for a partnership on a new console-like thing. They also seem very alike when it comes to design values.

The Internet enables us to improve communication, and it is becoming more and more important in our daily lives. Although the Internet brings many benefits to us, it also brings us many problems. We should pay attention to prevent and solve these problems, and one of these problems which we should pay specially attention to is the problem about protecting our online privacy. This article will offer some simple tips for you to protect your online privacy easily.
"There is relatively little food that is "minimally processed" anywhere in the industrialized world" Perhaps you have not seen any of the organic food markets/brands that are popping up all over the country. Organic/minimally processed foods are even sold at wal-mart and big name super markets. Many of these fruits/veg/meats are certified by the usda to have no "unnatural" additives, chemicals or additional processing.

This is a bit of a misunderstanding of how SMTP works.

If you run and maintain your own SMTP server and it goes down, you won't be able to send email.

Everyone else will still be able to send email to you, and it will be delivered to you, and you'll be able to read it.

Now, if you break Postfix or something on your server and start bouncing emails then you can be in trouble, or if you mess up the DNS somehow.

But generally running your own mail server is a set it up and leave it alone type of affair. Any junior level hacker can cobble one together with guides online and have it up and running with no problems in a few hours.
What I like about this the most is that it reminds us just how much real work, real information, real stuff can get done with such a simple UI paradigm. Text characters can move mountains.
I would say good code dictates good process. No need to put extra layers of political abstraction on top of something that works. Of course, if you have C players on your team they will use extra process as their crutch... then it's bye bye "brogramming".

It's a bad idea for most of us.

I used to own and manage my own mail server when I had to do it for my business back in the day. I had to be up to date in all involved email server management and its perks anyway, so it wasn't a lot of extra work. Now it would be. For a normal email user, it would be a nightmare.

I'm the kind of person who's very disrupted by having a ton of small tasks in the background all the time. Maintaining your own email server adds a bunch of them, even if you are already knowledgeable (keeping your domain(s), storage & redundancy, having to maintain a server with good uptime and with a lot of security concerns - it's online and it broadcasts its IP in headers, it's immediately spotted as running an email server and targeted to be made a spam-relay or worse).

If you're not even knowledgeable about it, the amount of stuff you need to learn and be familiar with is ridiculous. Maybe they don't even occur to you off the top of your head now, but the amount of little things one learns over the years about server maintenance is massive and a lot of it is absolutely necessary to run an email server with guarantees. Having to "insource" all that shit work is something I've been trying to avoid but I'm afraid I will have to do. I rent, this means sometimes I have to move and keeping servers 365/24/7 is a problem. Typical home connections are rather shitty for an email server in terms of uptime - you'd have the occasional email silently not arriving (depending on sender retry config) and also the occasional bounce (server coming back up but not properly - happens) and that doesn't look good for serious communications this day an age. And like that, a large number of concerns both particular and common to each email user.

Having backups (also involves shit work but not as much) mitigates the problem but for some of us, simply to stop receiving email at a certain address for a couple of days can cause a lot of trouble.
The syntax is ugly. They should've made it a little less verbose.
I'm not sure Bethesda is exactly a counterpoint. I would take issue with the phrase "just a platformer." I think you could also say that Bethesda games are "just RPGs." The point is that in both cases the games have unique game mechanics that make them good. Games that need really high-quality code to be worthwhile are very ordinary genre titles. No one is going to care about a shooter that has mediocre graphics, there have been hundreds of them over the past couple decades.

I'd say if it's really a good game, the code quality isn't that big an issue. If I'm pissed off when the game crashes, that says good things about the quality of the game. If it's just sort of addictive, I'll probably be relieved when it crashes.
What if you want a clean API? What if you want the users of your code to be able to instantiate an instance and inspect that object in the console, seeing only the public methods and not having them get lost in a sea of private stuff?
Still shots look awesome, there's clearly some radiosity rendering involved. Yay. I've been waiting for ages for a beautifully designed world exploration game. Hopefully this will be the one.
Didn't the US just sieze a bunch of foreign owned data from MegaUpload? Carpathia Hosting leased over a 1000 servers in the US and Canada to MegaUpload. There's no reason why they couldn't have seized a Rackspace server or an Amazon EC2/S3 server had they used that instead. If the government wants your data, if it's within their borders, they will get it.
Only partly related, but I am too young to have used a BBS in Europe. When I came to Taiwan three years ago, I was delighted to see open Telnet sessions on many CS students' computers, browsing a BBS, in Big5 encoding nonetheless.

Too many Options
"...Iceland's economy is doing pretty well they where the only country to out of hand reject placing the private bank debt onto their tax payers..."

Sorta, but I think that's a little garbled. The big question is "should the government guarantee the debts of private banks". The textbook/neoliberal answer is "no, of course not, that would be insane". However, at the behest of the EU, Ireland did exactly that - an unprecedented move which has worked out pretty much exactly how everyone THOUGHT it would: badly.

Iceland, by contrast, went with the textbook answer (the Bloomberg story you link to even says this explicitly) of telling the creditors of private banks to get stuffed. They aren't the first nor yet the hundredth country to do that, and they won't be the last. And it working out fairly well for them, all things considered.

What's unusual here isn't how Iceland has behaved, but how Ireland has behaved. And it's there we should be looking to draw the real lessons about what to do and - more importantly - not do about future bank crises. (The Irish bank debt guarantee may yet prove to be the single silliest decision in the whole European debt crisis. Considering the competition, that's impressive.)
The Secret to the Page Flip in HTML5/Canvas for Windows8 and iOS
I think it is quite simple, consumers feel lied to. Beef marketing is heavily laced with imagery of farms, grass and cows grazing. Even going to a butcher and seeing him make the cut is quite understandable to a consumer. Seeing this un-natural process is a direct conflict with the marketing which has been imprinted upon beef consumers brains. Hence they feel lied too. Another thing to consider is that the fast growing, fresh/local/organic food industry is marketing directly against all kinds of food processing.

(Disclaimer, I work at Canvas) Just so you know, we removed the Facebook integration for signup. We primarily had that to put off having to deal with that abuse vector early on (trolling with duplicate accounts) and to add some sense of accountability. It's gone swimmingly since we removed it though and we probably could have even earlier on.

Gmail is so convenient, that it's hard not to use it, but I'd pay for customer service.

Even if the stories are an exaggeration (which I doubt), the complete lack of any sort of human support is problematic. I get why a company of google's scale relies on heuristics to identify issues, but it's /really really important/ that when those things go wrong -- as they certainly will -- there's some sort of recourse.

The black box google currently presents makes me uninterested in trusting them, since to do so would present a lot of risk (losing my email) with very little reward (a sort-of-better facebook clone).
Thanks for such an eye opener!!

If you add a default value it locks the table and re-writes it.

However, if you don't add a default value postgres will perform the operation instantly. Old rows will be untouched, and new values will be added with the shoe_size of either NULL or whatever you set it to be... IE exactly the same outcome and performance as the MongoDB case mentioned above.

Adding a field in postgres while setting a default value would be exactly the same as adding a field in MongoDB and updating every existing row with that default value (except for the fact that postgres will only lock that one table, while MongoDB will lock your entire database).

Now I'm not anti-MongoDB, I'm just saying you shouldn't give it credit for something that relational database do just fine.
