It does seem to me like this "space issue" is a very annoying an unethical way for Apple to automatically and slowly force people into buying newer devices with more storage (for whom the old 16GB versions were enough), and it comes as a surprise for most who start running out of space on their device and can't do anything about it. Also (and this is not Apple's fault) the new hi res photos and recorded videos contribute a lot too.
The drop after 2007/2008 probably corresponds to the Phobos/Tango debacle, and the fact that Walter decided to fork with D2.

One of the main problems was, he was almost the sole compiler developer, and could hardly keep up with the tasks of maintaining 2 parallel branches and developing new ideas at the same time. People complained that they couldn't get involved as much as they wanted. It's understandable that many people thought that D didn't have a solid future with such uncertainties.

Nowadays, these problems are mostly overcome with a much better organization: there are several committers for the compiler, and several committers for the standard library. Phobos is the standard library, it's maturing, D2 has shown its strengths over D1 and the community is united again, because not only it is deeply involved with the design of the language and standard lib(through the m-l), it is also involved with the implementation of essential parts of it. 2011 has been a very good year for D, and I think that more than ever, the whole project feels like it's going in the right direction.

edit: I guess another reason D isn't gaining as much traction as it could is, it has been removed from the Alioth computer language shootout. For a language which is aimed at raw speed (and was brilliant at that when it was still on the shootout), it's a severe blow.

From my perspective XSLT is a horrible language. Nevertheless I use it for every of my web projects. Besides the fact that I hate the language I love the thing it does: abstraction. In the backend I only have to care about the information I want to provide and for the frontent I can do whatever I want to do with this information. My largest problems are the verbosity of the language and the incomplete implementations (also xpath). Btw. I think the Excel formulas are much closer to a functional language than XSLT should ever be ;-)
Sure, having such principles and applying them is something entirely different but at least they've recognized that there's something wrong with their IT projects, which already is a huge leap ahead.

And very few retail shops operate at 100% margins such that a doubling of revenue would exactly compensate for a doubling in theft.

They don't need 100% margins to come out on top if they sell more units than are stolen.

So if a shop was selling 10 units an hour and losing 1 unit an hour to theft, and footfall doubled (simplistically doubling sales and thefts), then the shop is now selling 20 units an hour and losing 2 to theft. At realistic margins, the shop is more profitable than it was.

Starting with Node is a very poor choice if you want to learn front-end. But you can't go wrong with The Good Parts and you at least now know what's all the fuss about Node. But now let's really start learning front-end.

Begin with semantic HTML. It's really the basis. The best front-enders I know first write all the HTML for a project, and only then start adding CSS and JS. Learn why <b> is wrong and <strong> isn't. Make sure you're HTML validates.

Now go to CSS. It's really easy to add some colours or fonts. You learn CSS as you go. But there is one hurdle here: the box model. Learn about float:left, position:absolute, display:block and how they entangle.

This will be harder than you think. You will need to learn some tools to debug this. Install Firebug and the Webdevelopers Toolbar in Firefox and see how you can fix your layout. Browsers aren't that scary.

We're only learning here, so skip IE for now. That one is actually kinda scary. Though if you really want to learn front-end, it's all about browser differences.

And then Javascript. Now it will be easy. Stick with jQuery and connect with your Node instance with socket.io. Learn Backbone if you want to make snappy web apps. There's a lot to learn in this 'grey field' between back-end and front-end. But at least you now know front-end.
The thing is when you are still going to be debugging in a different language, haml -> html, coffee -> js.

As a CoffeeScript guy I think one of its main strengths is its harder to shoot yourself in the foot with is great for beginners but you have to be careful a beginner doesn't just bind all the way down using =>
I don't think there are problems with 64 bit versions, but many computers are still 32 bits. The PC I use right now is 32 bits and I don't feel the urge to buy a new one. So I suppose 32 bit machines will stay around for another decade or so.
Well, that's Los Angeles. In Cascadia it's a bit different--Vancouver and Portland both have very well-functioning mass transit systems, and Seattle has an adequate but growing one which links to the Amtrak lines that go between the three major cities as well as the Empire Builder line to Chicago. I have little doubt that upgrading the Empire Builder and Cascades routes would be worthwhile.

I never owned an iDevice so I'm not sure the analogy stands but I believe the Ubuntu Software Center does something similar to what you're describing. You get the same 'app store' whatever version of Ubuntu you are running but when you install an 'app' it silently downloads the package targeted at your Ubuntu version.
If you're an experienced programmer looking to learn Javascript, you probably can't do any better than reading Javascript: The Good Parts. It's extremely short, concise, and enjoyable to read. Highly recommended.

Any experienced programmer should definitely start elsewhere so he can make up his own mind about Crockfords ideas about how programming should be. While the book is ok-ish almost half of the material is about Crockfords personal preferences for coding style and can be applied to any language.

JavaScript - The Definite Guide by David Flanagan is in my opinion the best book on the subject. No other JS book comes even close in clarity and thoroughness.

Apple has historically not given the slightest fuck about what is an inconvenience for developers. Even more so when what's good for users is the opposite of what's convenient for developers. And in this case (if they ever do decide to enforce multiple binaries) that would be a good thing.

It’s a reasonable price for the convenient abstraction. What’s interesting is the size of the binaries and the compression ratio of the whole thing (0.2):

13M	include

What’s in the binaries so that they are so huge and compress so well?

If I'm your target market (and since you're posting here I'm guessing that you think that folk here are your target market) then my first thought is "Why would I use this instead of a stack of existing forum products that appear to be more polished and functional?"

Why would I use you over something like http://vanillaforums.org/ for example?

Sorry to sound harsh - but at the moment the pitch is not convincing.
I agree with all the cynics saying that Apple doesn't care. Even if app sales go down because of full devices - please keep in mind how their profits are split between hardware and software/services.

I would go even further: They wouldn't even change it if it were free and easy to do. If they filtered out Retina graphics for non-Retina devices, the old iPad could hold more apps than the new one! If you upgraded to the new iPad, you would have to trim down your collection. It just doesn't make any business sense for them.

I guess everyone with a jailbreak will rejoice, this sounds like something a Perl one-liner could fix over ssh. And it could remove the builtin apps while they're at it. I am honestly jealous.

A lot of graphics on these devices are vectors (Inkscape SVG, Illustrator, etc.).
A possible solution would be a cache on the device where each app has a slot. The app can store data in this cache (i.e. images rendered on-demand into bitmaps). The total size of this cache would be limited (user adjustable, maybe). When the cache runs out of space, data from least used apps gets purged.
That means, when I want to run my least used RPG on my iPad 3, after maybe a month of not using it or so, maybe I have to wait 1-2mins for it to turn all the graphics back into bitmaps. But i'd never run out of space for games that use assets that can somehow be described more lightweight that using bitmaps.

The Premier League is an English professional league for association football clubs. At the top of the English football league system, it is the country’s primary football competition. Contested by 20 clubs, it operates on a system of promotion and relegation with The Football League. Most games are played on Saturdays and Sundays, with a few games played during weekday evenings. It was known as the Premiership from 1993 to 2007. It is currently sponsored by Barclays Bank and therefore officially known as the Barclays Premier League.

I received lots of comments privately. Basically there are two schools of thought: native desktop app and HTML5 browser-based app.

The former would be done using gstreamer for streaming and encoding/decoding http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/ , and clutter for the UI / display, http://www.clutter-project.org/ .

The HTML5 thing would be for sure inspired by the work of Alex Wolkov at http://alexw.me/2010/05/html5-video-puzzle-proof-of-concept/ . It isn't still clear to me if I will need the help of the GPU, i.e. use WebGL (Alex doesn't).

BTW it has been noticed that streaming separately the blocks of the video puzzle might introduce sync issues, which is something I still have to figure out how to solve (if will see it as real issue in my prototype -- no premature optimization in my home!).
I don't know why we're not moving into vector for these type of things. Should definitely help with the resolution explosion we've been seeing occurring.

Formatting on this site is terrible for iPhone reading. It prevents zooming, thus forcing a very small font on the reader.
Would it be possible to ship with 1600 files, and then delete all assets when the download is complete, or at first run? That way you have one version of your app, and are ensured that the right size gets on your client. The download will remain large, but the storage requirements will only be high a short period of time.
Certain memory areas correspond to the console. If you have a look at Notch's Hello World example you see him putting letters in memory areas.

Now if this is how it will communicate with the rest of the ship, I don't know.
Any way to have this articles compiled, as an ebook or something?
How Do I Get Back a Passion For Programming?
Yes. Because no one has video on their iPad.
I don't think it makes any sense to follow any community-agreed guidelines until Notch finalizes his design.

Do you plan to make a short description of what exactly it took to create the backend?

I thought this would be an excellent excuse to learn about llvm, so been reading about its internals the past few days, and even though I realized that starting with MSP430 this would be relatively simple for someone who knows llvm, I am apparently too late to the party :) Nonetheless I would be interested in some overview.
Honestly, I don't think the ACL really provides much in terms of security. I mean, your db username and passwords are stored (in plain text) in your settings.py, config.php, database.yaml, etc. I've seen a few times where master passwords have shown up in a user's bash history due to carelessness. Also consider that your backup script contains read access credentials for all your data.

IMO the main benefit of having an ACL is to compartmentalizes your database so that a SQL injection against one app (maybe) won't spill over to a different app. That's not something that makes me feel good at all.
A couple more not used by Notch:

Alt + Shift + i = inline variable/method

Ctrl + Shift + up/down = select the larger/smaller block of Java's AST

I also tend to create shorter keybindings for unit tests:

Ctrl + R = run unit test (from the test class file)

Ctrl + Alt + R = re-run last unit test
It's far from ideal, but it's a long way from the Android fragmentation (can't comment on Windows Phone, never been involved in dev for that).

With Android, there could be any one of dozens of resolutions (iOS has two basic resolutions, with a relatively simple 2x multiplier version of each of those), you could have a keyboard or not, you could be a device with a resistive screen with no multi-touch (or even no touchscreen at all), your OS version may dictate whether you can install on the SD card or not - or have one of many other significant differences - and the device may not be able to upgrade to a more up to date OS version, etc etc.

When we launched our app recently, we tested it on 3 different iOS versions (a 3GS, a 4S and an iPad 2), and about 20 different Android ones. I can't remember a single major issues that appeared on only one model of iOS device - and I can't think of any that have appeared in the wild either. On the other hand, we had dozens of "only occurs on Android device X with OS version Y".

I think plain old SAX makes a good substitute. It only lacks one (of the two) good things I like about XSLT, template matching. But Fowler suggests a way to get that: http://martinfowler.com/bliki/MovingAwayFromXslt.html

The other thing I like about XSLT is that it creates a hard code-boundary. But I hardly think its syntax makes that worth it.
No, these are completely different problems. First of all statement about last month's device being legacy is false.
iPhone 3GS was almost three years ago and still supports the latest version of iOS.
This is the problem for Android—just compare adoption rate and share for the lastest versions of Android. Even some new Android devices just about to be realased don't support ICS.

Not sure who pays for someone "to take up their time", usually its an exchange of time for skills, or time for experience. Also, assuming students can only achieve unskilled minimum wage jobs is kind of silly. It's not that hard to get a paid internship at $30+ an hour.

Not saying it's a terrible deal either, just saying that it's not a "you're missing out terribly if you don't do it" opportunity.
Probably because the vast majority of apps still run fine on the legacy devices. My wife has a 3GS (almost 3 years old now), and apart from Siri and a tiny amount of high-end games, it does everything my 4S does - if a little slower, and slightly less crisply. They both have the latest OS version, and every app I have on my phone runs acceptably on hers.

Can Android say the same thing?

I agree that it's a bit of a pain having to have both the low res and high res graphics bundled in a single app version, but this issue isn't one of legacy - it's the same on a 2 year old iPad 1 as it is on a brand new iPad 3. If you've only got 16GB on it, you're possibly going to run into space issues with these new larger apps.

I totally agree. If I waste an entire day messing around on the Internet, I go to bed with my mind frazzled. It's like guzzling a load of "empty calories" and feeling no benefit from them.

I've done the no-internet thing before for several months and while it wasn't a magic cure-all, I'd like to do it again. One downside is a certain feeling of lonliness when you're used to being able to swoop in and out of interesting discussions at any time of the day or night.
Might as well make sure you're grammar validates too.

Anyway, I don't understand why the front-end is relevant at all. It's not the same problem, and the fact that most people do both doesn't mean that learning to do a good front-end will teach you to do a good back-end.
I think Matt has the right attitude.

"Yeah, I think once we get to 100,000 it could start to get too big. I’m OK with how big it is today. It is a lifestyle business for me—I’m just running this thing and I have a few employees and we’re all happy. What’s better than that?"
