I've also been seeing metal security curtains temporarily pulled across the aisle, so that the cockpit, the restroom, and the front kitchen are all behind a metal curtain, sort of like this:

Most recently on a Logan-LAX United Airlines nonstop in February.

This allowed secure restroom breaks, as well as food service to the cockpit.
Right. And Apple provided paying MobileMe customers with 25GB of storage for free the first year. However, with the lack of an iDisk replacement, it's pretty hard to use up that space.

In other words, that what we did get, is pretty useless.
Great game! Although there was a problem with the leaderboard. A couple of times the leaderboard showed up only for a fraction of a second and then disappeared. I'm assuming it took too long to load and by that time the next round started.
TouchDevelop scripts can be submitted to the "real" WP Marketplace, see http://www.touchdevelop.com/help/wp7app . IIRC this is a new-ish feature, it may not have been there when last you looked.

If you're really worried about the safety of your Gmail account, maybe it's time to consider moving your email somewhere else. Sure, you can back your email up, but if your account is suspended you'll still lose access to your address.

Or: use Google Apps for Domains, so that you can easily switch to another mail service when necessary, and have one machine make a backup with offlineimap.
As one of the naysayers from last week, I can say this one is a lot better. It's much more on target, and you didn't use any made up quotes/content. Great work!
Hm. Tell me more about Unreal script and its interpreter. Tell me more about the Source and Gold Source engine. Tell me more about Flash & Scaleform.

The fact is, if it ships and runs reasonably well, nobody gives a damn if you are running bogosort every frame. That's the great (and terrible!) thing about game programming.

And, really, on the PC at least, the hardware is so stupidly overpowered for most things that you can get away with heinous algorithms and overengineered/underspecced systems.

I know this, because web developers do it every day. :)
Actually, I think that was the sound of Michael Abrash rebooting his writing superpower. Seems to me one of the biggest ways that guy could add value to Valve is by unleashing it (like he did in this post) on a regular basis.
Alcohol sharpens the mind, research finds
Jonathan Blow, from Braid to The Witness
Sure.

When you are hired, you can negotiate a salary $X based on your skills, the company's needs, the job market, and a whole host of factors.

At each pay review period (or however your firm does it) thereafter you may get a salary increase of Y%. The realities of corporate politics, management, social dynamics, etc. say that the frequency of the review (or if you even get one) is mostly out of your control. Further, the amount of the increase may have little to do with you; maybe there's "no room in the budget for increases this quarter", or maybe your manager is giving you poor evaluations to try and keep you from being promoted out of his department thus reducing his headcount. Finally, there is a force in almost every organization that says that salary should be based on seniority not merit. There may be pay grades, or salary caps, and there is almost always some limit on the size of the raise any person can get without a top exec signing off on it. I could go on. :)

Meanwhile, you (hopefully!) have more knowledge and skills than when you were hired; you certainly have more experience. After a few years, you are almost certainly worth a lot more than when you were hired. (If the job market has improved since you were hired, this goes triple.)

The end result is that, for most people, your salary represents a pretty good snapshot of your "worth" when you are hired, but every quarter thereafter it diverges. Changing jobs periodically lets the good employees "lock in" that extra value. (Meanwhile the poor employees will do their utmost to stay, as they know they may not deserve all of the raises they've received. This is but one of many reasons why organizational performance trends downwards over time.)

You'd think that you could just renogotiate with your current employer. "Hey, I know I was only worth $60k when you hired me, but I'm now an expert on X, Y, and Z, and the job market is really hot right now. I know you've upped my salary to $90k, but you'd have to pay over $140k to replace me. Give me a raise or I'll go next door and get $120k." Seems logical, but human nature being what it is, this never works. Instead, you quit and go to work next door for $120k, while one of their guys quits his $90k job and comes to work at your old employer for $120k. Of course, both of you are now less productive for the next 6 months as you learn new systems and a new codebase. It's silly, but there you are.

From a purely practical standpoint, the lack of an ABI is the #1 reason I don't bother with C++ anymore because chances are pretty good that I'll want to interface the lower-level code with something like Python or Go, both of which integrate with C code much more easily than C++.
And increased visibility in the ML community.

Attributes Of A Successful Entrepreneur
No, that may help keep a guy with a gun out, but a guy with a knife is screwed even if the cockpit doors are wide open. Why? Pre-9/11, the wisdom was to let hijackers go ahead and take control of the plane -- they just want to detour it and land it somewhere to get away from the police and whatnot. Post-9/11, a guy pulling out a knife will end up beaten to death before he makes it half a dozen rows; when people start crashing hijacked planes into buildings, the wisdom changed. Cockpit doors have nothing to do with it.
In the Netflix prize, did all teams merge into one group and stop trying? Nor would we expect so with K groups, especially with exponentially decreasing prize amounts. If this is even slightly a risk, you can compensate by making the maximum number of prizes awarded a function of the number of participating teams. For example, you can award 10 prizes if there are >100 teams, and if not award floor(num_teams/10) prizes, with the prize pool redistributed among the top 10%.

It was pure luck that the threshold for the million-dollar prize was crossed. If it had been arbitrarily set at 11% (as opposed to 10%), then there's a good chance the million dollar prize would have never been paid out.

The advantage of paying out K top prizes is that other teams that don't win outright may have developed additional useful models or insights (or used more computationally efficient algorithms), and you may access to these in this manner.

"Wave hello to the future" also captures the connotation of welcoming to the future, as well as providing a more concrete indication of what the app does. I think one of the biggest challenges with copywriting is hitting all of those notes at once, the visionary, the concrete, the solution, the problem, etc. And like other forms of art, some pieces just come together better than others.
How email shapes us... and how to get back into shape
For the record, if you just read this and you can't/won't switch off, make sure you have recovery options set to recover your account. You can setup:
- An alternate email
- A phone number
- Alternate email addresses
- A recovery question

Note, however, that the latter will only work if your account hasn't been accessed in 24 hours. If you have 2factor enabled, make sure you have backup codes printed as well.

Mongo's sort of a weird halfway point between "totally horizontal" stores like Riak or Cassandra, and "Hope you have a ton of RAM" stores like your traditional RDBMS setup.

Appstark Helps Mobile Apps Gather and Manage Feedback
What I don't get is why the very first step in Google's automated process is to lock down the entire account. The debate is around the scalability of support, but that doesn't explain why the automated first response is so radical and so radically stupid.

The anger and rage Google provokes by not letting people log in and access their own data is totally unnecessary. They could just as well let people log in, view their data and receive email but prevent them from sending mail, publishing content, uploading more stuff, etc.

This is not simply about automation or no automation. It's about smarter automation and an intelligently staged response to any suspected issues. If algorithms are to be accepted as decision makers, they have to be gentle and not treat everyone like a criminal as soon as there is some suspicion.

At the same time the case should also be made that a good market place will also create good art that inspires people to come up with scenarios.

Hmm. Heck if the market place even takes inspiration from deviant art landscapes and the likes, it could be an impressive force.

Yeah, I think that bringing things we currently use a computer into the field of vision will be a big and important change, but when it starts doing things based on the context, that's when it really starts changing things. Some people are trying to do this kind of thing with smartphones (Color, with their attempts to piece together what's going on via photos, for example), but many of the more advanced attempts rely on an unnatural action like pulling out your phone and taking a picture or checking in or what have you. When you have an always-on forward facing camera and other sensors, and it's always accessible with a glance rather than awkwardly ignoring people and pulling something out of your pocket, things become a whole lot more interesting (and potentially creepy).

One quick example, but imagine something that annotates every person you see that gets near you and is clearly talking to you, so you never forget another name? Something like rapportive, but for in-person encounters, and provides a quick dossier to refresh you on who they are. I think it'd change things pretty radically. It'd be tough to do, but I'm sure Facebook and maybe a couple other companies have a large enough tagged face training corpus to do it.
I can see how it would give that impression due to taking a high-visibility feature in significant whitespace from Python, but other than list comprehensions, much of the rest is taken from Ruby:

Implicit returns, new conditional keywords (which don't use a Python-style : to signal the end of the conditions) and postfix conditionals, the @ operator, the ? suffix analogous to nil?, #{} for string interpolation, Ruby-style switch and (sometimes) optional parentheses can all result in very Ruby-like code, with the introduction of so many inconsistent ways to express the same statements.

One thing that I've found is that sometimes you just have to do things regardless of whether you have permission. But keep in mind that it's your ass if you fuck up.

Case in point, my boss has been out on leave for a few months already, in the meantime I've had a free hand to do whatever the fuck I want with some things. In that time I've completely overhauled several systems. With my boss around it would have been a teeth-pullingly laborious process that probably would have dragged on for weeks, been interrupted by other tasks in the meantime, or compromised in so many aspects to "reduce risk" that it might have ultimately been useless. As it was I did everything and migrated critical running systems over to the new stuff in only a few days of work spread out over about 2 weeks.

That generally applies to everything in the workplace as well. The best way to change your job is to slowly but surely start changing what you do while official recognition catches up.
And recursion. Light table's display is like a stacktrace, but each line expanded to the whole function. These scaling problems can be solved: exclude some functions, esp libraries (e.g. "native" functions like map aren't expanded). And standard scaling tricks e.g. one line, click to expand (like his doc navigator).

By "context", you mean you nominate a deeper function to display, but then how do you know which call to it is displayed? I think the answer is to display the rest of it, but collapsed/summarized. hmmm, the call trace is a tree in general, so that's getting a little hairier to manage. (NOTE: a tree, assuming you display a fresh instance of a function for each invocation, which you need to do to show the correct variable values)
Step 152: "And then I switched to using the Java platform entirely, because there are things I am doing that are much more easily expressible in some of the JVM languages (not Java)."

Whoaa that's pretty bad. I'm currently taking a computer architecture class in which we have to design and implement a working superscalar out of order processor in HDL. Even in that class, which is strictly focused on computer architecture, our professor stresses how important compilers are. Sure compilers have become pretty good at optimizing code but there is so much room for improvement especially as we increasingly move to multicore systems. Your professor really must be living under a rock...

> The single database ends up having a huge surface area trying to satisfy every application's needs.

This is, more or less, exactly what views are for.

> Thus, "build an api" is the best solution.

And you can do that within the database with stored procedures, perhaps even with the same language you would use in the front-end (depending). And look at the advantages you have:

- No implied N+1 issues because your API is too granular

- No overfetching because your API is too coarse

- No additional service layers needed

- All the information is in the right place to ensure data validity and performance

Let me be clear: I see these as two viable alternatives and different situations are going to determine the appropriate tool. I bring this up because I do think the NoSQL crowd overall has a very distorted and limited picture of what exactly it is RDBMSes provide and why. If people look underneath their ORMs, they may find an extremely powerful, capable and mature system under there that can solve lots of problems well—possibly (but I admit, not necessarily) even _their own_ problems.

Confessions of an Internet Marketing Scammer
People are used to acting one way around their work colleagues, another around their parents and relatives, another around their buddies they've known since college, and yet another way around their children. Behaviour changes, vocabulary changes, language changes, even accent changes depending on what identity you're presenting.

Identity isn't singular. It's the product of you interacting with other people. You don't present yourself in the same way to the local shopkeeper as you do in bed with your lover. To suggest that you have the same identity in both situations, that you present yourself in the same way, is completely absurd.

I don't think of identity in the same way as you. I suspect you strongly believe there is some "real you" inside your head, with some solidity and independence from your immediate surroundings. But I don't believe that myself for a moment; not just personally, but the science doesn't support it either. The Milgram experiment and Stanford Prison experiment show that people's actions are strongly influenced by their roles and relative social positions. The thing you think of as "self" isn't as unyielding as you seem to think; I believe it's largely illusory, in the much the same way that perceived free will is mostly narrative storytelling wrapped on top of unconscious actions - look at the research around split brains etc., e.g. http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/literally-psyched/2012/0...
They had expertise in portable electronics, small form factor high performance computing devices, dealing with the music industry, etc. In contrast, the ability to support voice calls and the ability to negotiate with phone companies are very closely related to things Apple had already done, already had expertise in, or could easily tackle.

As for the applications and services you list below, all of these pale in comparison to payments. Even cloud storage is a completely different beast than payments. Also, all of these things are value-add propositions which help sell Apple's extremely high markup other products.

Again, payments are a whole different ballgame. Payments are not about aesthetics or design or UI excellence, they're about robustness, reliability, fraud reduction, low overhead, and regulatory compliance.

Also, the idea that Apple could roll out a high-markup (10%) payments system and have it succeed in the marketplace is sheer and utter fantasy. Paypal is relatively cost competitive with merchant accounts precisely because cost of payments is the name of the game, every 1% matters when you're a business.
