That OS they have 'already coded', is hardly designed for this kind of device. But yes, I'll agree they have done a lot of work on key facilities that would be needed for this.

Media coverage doesn't mean anything. Look at the media coverage Google Wave got.

As for an App store, yes - they might follow the Android model and make these things somewhat open. Equally likely is that they might make them as open as Google+ or Siri - which is very much what the videos seemed to be illustrating.
Stories are powerful and can aid in remembering and understanding the message - but can be taken too far. For example I found the scenes of the lead character's marriage problems in 'The Goal' quite off-putting and unnecessary.

I've worked at Google and they take search quality very seriously. In fact, the search quality guys are not allowed to talk to the ads guys to avoid exactly this type of influence.

Sure money matters, and there is an "apparent" conflict. But in reality, the better the search results are, the more likely that users will use the search engine, which leads to more $$$. There is plenty of literature that demonstrates how serving poor search results will actually result in less ad revenue.

So James, being a former Googler, did you find that Google held back on search quality in favour of ad revenue?
I too am having trouble with this interpretation, though I'm certainly among the paranoid on the subject. Here's their quote:

"We do not share personally identifiable information... except as part of a specific program or feature that you have chosen to participate in..."

and the OP's translation:

“We can share whatever you provide us whenever you touch or interact with our site”

To me these are not the same.
How does that work? If I hold a screen that far from my eyes, it's just a blurry mess (and I'm near-sighted!)

I understand, and you raise important questions. We think about these things quite often, and we're very much prepared to feel our way to a product that works. The big question for us is - is online professional activity valuable for a large enough group of employers and candidates? We think the answer is yes, but we can't be sure until we (or someone else) builds a successful business around it.
I use Gnome Shell partially because I don't want compiz. Compiz consumes way too many resources from my computer. Unity is great. No doubt, but it shouldn't be a compiz plugin, it should work the same way Gnome Shell does, not with Compiz.

A lot of people complain about customization on both, so I just say: try Awesome WM. This window manager is very easy to use and very simple to customize, it really lives up to its name (awesome).

I use both Gnome Shell and Awesome WM on Arch Linux, I like both of them, although I've been using more and more Gnome Shell lately, partially because Gnome 3.4 is almost in the stable repositories, and I am very anxious for it.

Rust is emphatically not a scripting language. It is a systems language with many features drawn from functional languages (e.g. tagged unions for data types, pattern matching, a type class system, type inference) as well as a strong type system with the addition of type states, which are assertions tracked by the compiler. Yes, its syntax is C-like, but I'd assert that it has more in common with OCaml than Dart.

With that in mind, the suggestion that it'd be more worthwhile to strap static types onto Ruby is like looking at engineers designing an aerodynamic, fuel-efficient, high-speed dragster and suggesting they stick a bigger engine in a sedan and call it done. Yes, Rust has adopted a feature superficially similar to Ruby's; that does not mean it wishes to fill the same niche or that Ruby's goals align with Rust's in any significant way.
I think that's exactly why he used it there. This device could be amazing for blind people if it has accessibility features built-in (like the voice controlling part).
> "ret" [is] annoying and gratuitous differences. C/C++, Java, Python, JavaScript, and I think Perl/Ruby/Go all use [...] "break"

`ret` is a non-local return, it's got nothing to do with `break` (which is a local return and the usual" break).

Also, `ret` is in line with the (unfortunate I think) systematic shortening of keywords in Rust: `fn`, `ret`, `mut`, `alt`, ...

And as p4lindromica notes, Ruby's `continue` is called `next`.
Titanic in 3D Photos, Titanic 3D Movie Wallpapers 
As we known that Titanic movie was hot on the screen. It was a realistic movie which was happened in April 1912 when big Titanic ship was sank in the sea. Titanic is the second-highest grossing movie of all time, which was released in 1997. The ship was sank with 1178 people as well. Titanic ranked as the most expensive film in Hollywood history at the time of its release, and became the most successful. Titanic is returning to screens in a big way with its 3D release. Titanic 3D movie staring Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Billy Zane, Kathy Bates, Frances Fisher, Gloria Stuart, Bill Paxton, Bernard Hill and David Warner. This movie is directed and produced by James Cameron and Release Date on 5th April 2012 in India. Check out here Titanic in 3D and Titanic 3D Movie 2012 wallpapers, Release Date & Star Cast.
"Okay losers, your Mass Effect 3 ending is on the way."
How good is the type inference? I did some research on PHP back in the day, and reckoned that a huge number of types (80%-90%) could be inferred - but I didn't run it on anything like Facebook's codebase.

Also, more info on the type inference please :) Context-sensitive? Do you model reference counts in your analysis? If so, do you get optimizations out of that?

Did the article really say a compile is 15 minutes? That's insane - how is it so fast? Does it limit the optimizations? You mustn't be able to do very deep analysis - or do you cache it somehow? What about FDO?

I've argued for years that the PHP interpreter's implementation leak into the language semantics, but you seem to have cast iron proof about the refcounts. Is it just destructors, or do you see errors due to copy-on-write semantics (like the weird array semantics when a reference is in a copy-on-writed array)?

(Sorry for all the questions, it's just very interesting)

Do anyone else have some feedback on this article? I wonder if it's really this difficult to make money with android...
Indeed. Pairing this sort of hardware up with something like [http://www.bristol.ac.uk/vi-lab/projects/casblip/] could work well for the partially-sighted -- I mean, that research group already have prototype hardware, but Google's setup looks a lot more compact.
I agree, Canonical should have made Unity upon gnome 3.x. Those compiz patches and are really nasty.
The image won't be focused on the reflecting glass, and the glass won't be flat.

If you are near sighted, I suppose you have glasses, to figure out what's happening just try to look at the reflexions on the convex (exterior) side of your glasses, and you'll see you will manage to see a clear image much nearer than usual.
> Are most Androids 32-bit?

By virtue of there being no AArch64 implementation announced so far, all androids are 32-bit because there is no 64b ARM core.

> Doesn't this issue impact the GO Android SDK adoption?

Any Go application should be able to run into this issue if it has a similar usage pattern.
If I'm remembering right, Shuttleworth decided to go his own way because at the time Gnome Shell looked radically different than it does now, and he didn't forsee it--or the political environment around it--improving enough to bother building upon. However since he made that decision and showed some Unity prototypes, the Gnome Shell design did change a lot and now it resembles Unity much more than it did back then.

I prefer mutter to compiz too. I don't really care about resources as both of the shells run smooth on my laptop, but compiz can't show full screen flash video (youtube) on my secondary monitor, which is a little annoying.

I've heard awesome things about Awesome. I need to give it a try in the near future. Thanks!
Something tells me that Facebook will face death by a thousand cuts, with new more specialized social networks like Pinterest and Instagram grab people's time away from Facebook. Since these social networks are about their biggest interests, they will spend most of the time there, but will probably still keep the Facebook account as a back-up address book that they can check every now and then.
The same is true of Windows 8, it also requires everyone to create new Metro-based designs for their apps. Heck, it doesn't allow the traditional Win32 APIs.

It might explain why the Windows 8 Beta store is basically empty.

I like that they stuck with Compiz. Linux is fragmented in no small part due to developers wanting to create shiny new software instead of supporting more boring older software. When that happens we get 100 window managers all with their little quirks and all of them liable to be discarded at the drop of a hat. I mean, just look at this massive list of window managers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_window_manager#X_Window_manag...

Despite Compiz's flaws Canonical did the right thing by sticking to and polishing an existing WM instead of creating yet another WM with its own weird flaws and bugs. Plus, I like wobbly windows :)

They're free to follow their own path, just like other companies have tried with their own OS (webOS, QNX, Bada) but in the end it's the Android ecosystem that makes people come back. It's silly of companies to think that just because Apple did it that means they can do it, too. Apple has much more going for them than just a proprietary OS.

Supporting WP7 was also a bad strategic move on the part of companies like HTC and Samsung, because they gained almost nothing from it, but they kept the flame alive for a year until Nokia was ready to take it all away from them. So instead of allowing their biggest phone manufacturer competitor in the market to fade away by not supporting WP7, they supported it, and with that they helped Nokia come back a bit (at least in terms of brand image), which also has Microsoft's full support (and they don't).

The Amazon hype went up because a lot of Android users supported it, the tech media saw the attention it was getting and kept writing about it, too. But as soon as there are real Android tablets on the market for the same price, Amazon has nothing on Google's Android, considering most of their apps and services are already on Android. A Kindle Fire tablet would have no advantage over an Android one, once they are the same price.
A Perfect Solution for Paid Gym Memberships - Crossfit Home Gym
If you are interested in getting one of the best and most intense workouts from home, then you should consider the Crossfit home gym. Many people wonder the difference between going to a paid membership gym versus building one at home. The answer is usually cost.
It's a well placed double-pun.

Lets not lose our sense of humor while trying to keep HN topical. If the parent-parent comment isn't appropriate, then neither would this thread be.
A CrossFit Home Gym Is a Great Alternative to a Gym Membership
Many people want to get fit, but a gym membership can often seem very expensive. Some people simply do not like the gym, and would prefer to work out from home.
I've tried KDE briefly a few months ago and I didn't like it. The reason was they were way to many customization options. I spent more than an our going through all the settings and I got completely overwhelmed.

Gnome Shell has little to no options out of the box, but it has extension that do just that.

Unity recently added some basic options into the default (new tab in the appearance dialog). They didn't add a lot of options but just the ones I seem to need :)
I'd like to know as well, but from what I've seen just watching the top apps is that the people who make the most money have in-app purchases. Part of it probably also has to do with marketing, I don't know if the author of this article did a lot of advertising or promotion, but it is important.
> Media coverage doesn't mean anything. Look at the media coverage Google Wave got.

I still think media coverage counts for something here. Without media attention, most people might not hear about this device. Of course, if the product sucks, then simply knowing it exists won't save it. It's easy to get something noticed if it is from Google, but that's not going to guarantee quality.

> As for an App store, yes - they might follow the Android model and make these things somewhat open

I hope that they do keep it open. The really interesting apps for this type of device are probably going to be third party apps. A closed ecosystem is one of the biggest mistakes that Google could do on the software side. There are all sorts of niche or unexpected things you could do with this hardware if it was popular, given the right apps.

How you build it - Pinterest
I've had to encourage my gf to buy designer clothes. The conversation basically went like "why don't you buy one really nice dress that you actually like instead of 7 that you don't wear." Same with shoes, there's no point in buying crappy ugly shoes that wear out when you can spend 5x the price and get good looking shoes with a lifetime warranty.

That said I find it really hard to find a shirt with French cuffs so im probably a bit of an outlier, but I figure if I'm going to get dressed why not look good at the same time?

Note: I also find a lot of designer fashion in thrift stores because it's one of the few things that lasts long enough to make it through.
This is how I've been hiring in the last 3 years: I created a business by myself. As business grows, my goal is 1) to amplify and multiply my skills, which made this business possible. That way I can delegate work, be in many places at once and do things faster and better. 2) to patch and overcome my flaws, which I'm self-conscious enough to know, and fear that they could hurt business.

So when I look through resumes and interview people, I look for signals that tell me this person can (or has the potential to) either emulate my most demanded virtues, or provide wished-for aptitudes onboard. So, if I read a resume with spelling mistakes, I think "I would never allow me to be this sloppy" -- I think it sends a message of carelessness that may put in question the quality of the work being done -- and I throw the resume away. On the other hand, when I meet a person that shows me a code sample with a well-organized and thoroughly commented api class hierarchy, I think "I wish I was like that!" -- and that's a keeper.

Hence I don't agree with the article when it says to "ignore little theories". Since I believe there's no universally-accepted, truly objective way to effectively spot strangers that will make your enterprise succeed, I choose to clone myself: me who is undeniably the right person for the job, otherwise this company would never launched in the first place. Then, bit-by-bit, I "genetically engineer" the selection process to create this better super-self (the team) that will take us to the next level.

Cheap Calls to Bosnia You May Consider VoIP
Cheap Calls to Bosnia: Apart from the conventional means of using landlines/fixed lines and the mobile phone handsets, today the average user who needs to make en number of cheap calls to Bosnia also has VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) based calling service to consider.
I think the reasons they don't care more are

1) it mainly affects long time running applications on 32 bits machines. Fact is most production servers are (or should be) on 64 bits

2) most people (me for example) never observed such a phenomenon (and all my dev computers are 32 bits)

So, that's an important problem but far from a game stopper.

Supply-Chain is certainly a point, but I doubt it's the only factor - relative labour cost play an important role. Questions to ask:

1. Why did the factories move in the first place.

2. Why can companies like Airbus oder German car manufacturers survive - their supply chain is distributed all over the planet, with the best paid workers in Germany.

I tried reading wiki-pages about tiling managers in general, but they are sparse on this kind of information.

I don't know if you have tried this, but I did with my app, that I release 4 weeks ago:

Show the user a dialog after 3 days of use (I additionally make sure that the app has been opened at least 5 times) asking him or her to review your app on google play if he enjoyed using it and you will upgrade his app to the pro version for free.

You can't check if the user actually reviewed your app, or if the user gave it a good or a bad review, but I had good experiences with that. That's a simple mechanic that will get you some nice reviews, because a user that regularly uses your app after 3 days probably wont hate your app. :-)

You can easily compare the result of this by checking this link to my app:

We are both in the same category of downloads (between 1k and 5k - I currently have 1,7k downloads) and its 47 reviews vs 8.

I had never seen this game, or heard anything about it. Your first enemy is obscurity.

Now I've downloaded your game and played it. Here are my thoughts:

- It blares music at you as soon as you run it. Bad first impression.

- No tutorial, no introduction, no obvious help function.

- There's a slowly descending purple-and-black background and a lot of green rain. Oh, look, there are some flyspecks at the top of columns of rain. I put my finger on the screen, and a new column of rain starts falling upward. Oh! It's a shooter, and if I'm shooting up, then the rain must be... whoops, I'm dead.

Flyspecks? Yeah, it looks like you don't bother detecting screen density and changing the graphics accordingly. I can't see anything interesting on a 300dpi screen.

There's nothing to suggest that the gameplay is innovative, or surprising. Does it get better later? Or even different?
