You're talking to someone who was convinced Apple was the sole inventor of multi-touch, abused everyone who claimed otherwise, and then disappeared when definitive counter-proof was provided, without apologising. He's an arrogant fanboy (not a term I use lightly), and he's not worth arguing with.

My best guess about the "600 pages" rule is that such a length gives the book a nice, thick spine, and a nice, thick spine is a great place to plant a catchy title in enormous lettering. That probably helped when selling the book on shelves. Furthermore, length could be used as a proxy for comprehensiveness, which helped when selling the book through B2B channels, like corporations, academia, etc. (Oftentimes, such buyers were more likely to complain about what a book didn't contain than what it did, hence, the drive toward kitchen-sinkism).

All of which was great for sales back in the day, but not so great for the quality of the books.

I'll mention what you imply, that I can be friends with someone and have sex with them. I don't believe "just sex" and friendship are mutually exclusive. To me, only getting deeper feelings/being in love is.

I find it perfectly acceptable to be having casual sex with someone and still consider them your friends.
OCaml, on which if I understand it correctly, F# is based, allows you to do that easily, but it's not really natural to do so in this programming languages.
One could argue that applies to sci-fi as a whole, but some how Vingie's vision of omnipresent dust motes seems more likely (certainly given several hundreds years of cyclical progress, as in the story) than teleporters or even flying cars. Certainly the conditions in the novel were extremely conducive to that type of a network but such a ubiquitous, space filling network could be useful in plenty of other situations (rescue operations or something as simple as adding a puff of motes to a high traffic area to bolster a network for example). Is it likely? Probably not. Certainly not without wireless power, but it's probably more likely than flying cars as our primary mode of transportation.

For a more near future example Vinge presents the network in Rainbows End, especially given the work that's been done with Wifi meshes. Granted, I haven't heard any news about the idea lately, but as I recall, Google has one in Mountain View delivering free wifi to everyone in the area.
It's a good assumption to make if someone points out a random person on the street and asks you to guess their sexual orientation.

But in an article about male and female relationships and sexual attraction? It's a pretty bad sign that the author just assumes heterosexuality for everyone, especially when anything else would defeat (or at least greatly complicate) their argument.
More Thoughts on Damage Mitigation as the New Defense - The Security Skeptic
The argument is valid. It's cheaper to fly than to take rail even in Germany where I live (I am an American). Multiply the distances by 3x or 5x and even if the USA had good rail services it'd be drastically more cost effective to fly (to say nothing of time).

It simply does not scale the way you think it would. The population density varies widely in the USA.

For debugging Haskell, use trace to print things inside pure functions.

Also worth mentioning is the failure of Vita to compete against Apple. Sony might want to concede their defeat in the portable market and concentrate their energy on the Playstation 4.
The success of Parsec and its ilk has filled Hackage (the Haskell module repository) with hundreds of DSLs covering any task you care to mention.

This is exactly why I've grown wary of DSLs. They have their place, but in a really expressive language like Ruby or Haskell I'd often just prefer to code in the native tongue.
No I get that and like I said I think its really impressive! But, I think that the controls detract from properly delivering the message (and it would be much more enjoyable to use if movement was less fiddly).
I think that's an important thing to consider. Whilst working conditions might be 'bad', they may be much better than what they might have otherwise, or better paid.

It may be wiser to focus on the absolute best way to make something that people want rather than just crunching your optimal exit strategy. In most cases this probably means you want a co-founder.

Every language has its quirks... You get used to it; learn to avoid beginners mistakes; and eventually can use the language in production.

C++ is not different - it can even provide you with even more interesting and unexpected ways to shoot yourself in the foot:

You accidentally create a dozen instances of yourself
and shoot them all in the foot.

If you wish to debug a function in Haskell you can't insert a printf to inspect its inner workings unless that function happens to be on the IO monad.

Sure you can.

f x =
let intermediate = 2*x
intermediate2 = unsafePerformIO $ do
putStrLn ("intermediate value is " ++ (show intermediate))
return intermediate
in
(intermediate2 * intermediate2)

Output:

intermediate value is 6
Result is 36

It's a little uglier, since you need to make sure intermediate2 is actually evaluated. The better way to go would be:

f x =
let intermediate = intermediateComputation x
in
(intermediate*intermediate)

intermediateComputation x = 2*x

And then you just don't expose intermediateComputation to stuff outside the module. This has the advantage that you can use quickCheck on intermediateComputation. If the value isn't what you think it is, quickCheck will tell you what it actually is.

As elegant and appealing as Haskell's purely functional foundation is, it prohibits simple, but crucial, impure tasks such as writing to files and communicating over networks. [...] but they make it neither intuitive nor easy.

Actually, such tasks have become much simpler thanks to the recent surge of packages such as conduit. These make typical I/O work easy, and very much resemble a UNIX pipe. You have a pure or impure source that produces data (e.g. reading a file), conduits that manipulate data, and sinks that consume data (e.g. writing data to a file, or storing it in a list).

In fact, I have started to like conduit so much, that I/O in other languages feels quite kludgy.

If you wish to debug a function in Haskell you can't insert a printf to inspect its inner workings unless that function happens to be on the IO monad.

Actually, you can, using Debug.Trace.trace, which takes a String and an expression. The string is first printed, then the expression is evaluated. No need to be in the IO monad:

After a frustrutating hour with my Haskell version I was still struggling to understand the monadic API required to work with the XML parser and I gave up.

I had to parse some XML data and used hexpat-pickle. Once you get the hang of it, it is pretty simple. But I agree that there is a learning curve involved.

With such tasks, it usually takes longer to come up with an initial Haskell solution. But then that solution is usually very clean and elegant. If you have to write something quickly, it is not ideal, but often the things that we wrote quickly end up being used for years anyhow ;).

By the way, my experience is exactly the opposite. I wrote some code in Clojure (which I do like very much, since it manages to leverage the Java platform while staying very clean). But I noticed that my productivity dropped - lots of things that Haskell detected through static type checking I had to verify myself by hand and write tests for.
It took me a while to figure out what the physics part of this demo was. You have to elevate up a bit (click to move) and then throw boxes using the spacebar. Very nicely done by the way!
Maybe I'm just too cynical, but I believe they are smart enough to realize that and they just don't care. Lawmaking in modern society is inextricably tied to politics and this seems yet another politically motivated piece of legislation.

Yes, you could do that. Won't judge that approach - that's probably a cultural thing. But you have access to side effects and could dump stuff to the console (even, if you're so inclined, using the .Net framework standard way, calling Console.Write/WriteLine - although the print* stuff in F# is really better suited if you decided to go down that path).

I think the nested notation is simply more maintainable.

MyClass = {

staticMethod: function(){

}

createNew: function() {

obj = {};

obj.instanceMethod = function(){}

return obj;

}

}

Also, I find it quite elegant to see that the constructor function (factory method) is implemented as a static method as well). Of course I know these aren't static methods like in Java/PHP but in practice they can treated as such.

Like Yahoo, a dying internet giant is looking to unlock the value of its patent portfolio.

AOL did it in a way that won't blacken its reputation in the tech world. But it also won't be able to get recurring revenue from the majority of its patents.

What's interesting to me is that AOL is so focused on how this money will flow back to shareholders. It's like Tim Armstrong is buying himself some breathing room with the street to get his business (media/ad sales) moving in the right direction.

Free downloads continue, but they get compensation for 2x and 3x (times overpriced markup) for every download through streamlined compensation processes through ISP's and streamlined lawsuits. End result: Move product at the speed of free, get paid ridiculous markup (times 3) for every download worldwide. AND become big brother. It is a Brilliant plan actually. Will they succeed? How much they succeed depends on what we do to stop them.

In your example, plane safety has nothing to do with perfectionism of a person who runs the airline, it's simply the essential thing: no safety—not enough people flying to keep business profitable.

I agree that for a person who designs plane safety systems or performs QA, perfectionism might be a good quality. However, OP is talking about entrepreneurs, who don't normally design safety systems or perform QA. Entrepreneurs decide which things are necessary for a product to be “80/20 good enough”, but it doesn't necessarily mean that each of those things is of 80/20 quality itself. Now this is, actually, a bit simplistic.

Personally I tend to agree with the author, although the word “theory” may not belong to the headline. My observations mostly match his, and it's disappointing to frequently see cases when people with big potential just don't do things they (supposedly) love. Well, maybe they just have different definition of “love” and “passion”.

(Forgot to add: Also, I don't think perfectionism is the only or the primary point of the article, it's more about doing and being passionate.)

Paris escort service helps in making the most out of a trip to Paris								
There are may be many reasons why you would want to find a reliable and reputable Paris escort service, whether we are talking about candlelit dinners in fancy restaurants or cocktails at your boss. The truth is that more and more gentlemen have become loyal customers of professional escort agencies, knowing very well that this is where they can find a lady suited to their taste. Today, if someone wants to find a professional Paris escort service, they know that the best place to search for it is the Internet. At Independent Ladies, finding an escort is quite simple, especially since there are so many ladies available, just waiting to be picked. Each and every gentleman can select a lady, preparing himself to pay for a very affordable, yet exquisite service.

It's slightly too early to discount the Vita. Its sales are sluggish but so was the 3DS one year ago. People were quick to bury it dead, but look: now the 3DS is the fastest selling system ever, even ahead of the DS. The only thing the Vita needs is a price reduction AND a few good games.

Last I checked the highest value for patents was around $800,000/patent. This puts it at $1.25 million/patent. The crazier this becomes and big companies invest more billions into worthless patents, the harder these companies will fight against patent reform or abolishing software patents in the future, simply because they will not want their investment to be wasted.

So what can we expect from Microsoft to do with these web based patents, now? Start going after big and popular websites to pay them a "license" because they infringe on some undisclosed (of course) patents they own? The web patent war seems to be upon us.

I used to have the same opinion about print debugging, but after a few months exclusively using pdb, I can say I'm a debugger convert.

This has been a bit of a pain for me, it seems to be common with the QML items that you cannot get at the underlying object. I had write my own WebView item as I couldn't give each item its own cookie jar. It seems a bit of a oversight, ideally one could inherit all items in C++ to extend their functionality.

And lets not even talk about WebView blocking the main thread. Still, it is a very useful project that has allowed me to produce some great work!

Indeed, the patent wars are in full swing. Newcomers can expect to be frozen out. Apple , Microsoft, and Google may agree to not sue each other into oblivion and gang up on any newcomer. Perhaps they will start acting like a cartel.

When I view ~10 year old web sites and forums it's rare enough that external links work at all, with all these link shorteners it's going to be even worse.

I imagine in the not too distant future that link shorteners will no longer be used (for one of many reasons), if/when that day comes most link shortening sites will have no incentive to keep their service available, and it would be hugely tempting for them to modify existing links to display relevant targeted ads, instead of the destination pages. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if many of them exist purely with that intention.
