There are probably several identifiable subsets of users who make use of different parts of the Suite.

Ostensibly, the idea of the CS was that you could mix and match just the pieces that suit the work flow of your discipline, whether that's photo finishing, graphic design, interactive design, or what have you.

The reality is that this is one of the reasons Adobe's products are bloated, difficult to learn, and not truly integrated or consistent in their UI.
it's all tied up in math i can't get my hands around

people here seem to like math and seem accepting of mental illness

it's like my mind keeps coming back to a feeling of peace and connectedness with the world, and i want to accept and embrace it and just be ok with it, but getting off of 16th bart station and walking past people covered in piss, and having that just be something you do because clearly that is correct, it is of course necessary for grown men to wear moth-eaten clothes covered in their urine.

Dreamweaver is an industry standard? I don't know of anyone working web dev using dreamweaver (I've always thought of it as a teaching/hobbyist tool akin to, though obviously better than, FrontPage).
You don't have to replace all of Adobe CS to compete with Adobe CS.

Not many of the folk I know with CS actually use the vast majority of it. For example I do almost no print work. All the stuff Adobe sweat over for the print folk - doesn't impact me in the slightest. In fact it gets in the way of the stuff I need to do since it adds complexity to the UI.

In the Mac land a bunch of folk are switching to paid tools like Pixelmator and Acorn as alternatives to Photoshop for some work. They don't replace everything that PS dues, but offer what a subset of the PS audience needs for a substantially cheaper price with some arguably better functionality in a few places. I know people who have CS and Pixelmator, and spend most of their time in the latter and just bring up CS when they need something "clever". Both Pixelmator and Acorn seem to be doing very well for themselves - and I think both are still single developer shops.

What nobody apart from Adobe seems to be really doing is the "suite" part - managing the integration well. For example - I would part with $200 in a heartbeat for a micro-suite that handled bitmap and vector work together to the same level that Pixelmator managed bitmap stuff, with some nice glue/plugins to support where I work (web apps, mobile apps, pushing out multiple resolution versions, etc.).
"Learn to program" is probably going to be a repeated answer here but I'm not so sure this attitude is going to be doing any good. Enticing people into technical professions that do not have the inclination is not going to make things much better - instead your going to end up with a significant band of people disinterested in their work. We all know how much "negative" work can be done by bad apples in software.

The problem is that everyone has natural competencies, personalities and cognitive methods and only a relatively small sliver have the type that will fit software development. If you think I'm saying were special, I am not. Every discipline has a relatively small sliver of people who will be naturally inclined to do it and enjoy it.

The real problem is us... meaning society. We currently aren't culturally organized in a manner to take advantage of everyone's abilities and part of the main reasoning I'd say is a lack of diversity in terms of what is appreciated and rewarded. From my limited perspective our culture seems to have a maniacal focus on money and a growing monoculture that is focused on how to become a millionaire at whatever cost. Right now software development seems to be a good way to get rich partly due to our monoculture's love of video games, apps, business processes etc. so our industry gets green lit for now so to say.

The problem is that there is a lot of important stuff to us humans all living a better life that the majority falsely considers unimportant and lowly for the most part because of its current low correlation to the almighty profit ... things like culture, art, anthropology, farming, geology, architecture, care-taking, etc etc The sad thing is that we have swaths of people with great skills and inclinations that should be going into these different segments but essentially can't because we collectively don't appreciate people doing these things.

In other words if you ask me our real jobs problem is that we don't have diverse enough "consumers" who appreciate the interesting niches different humans fill.

Most of the learning curve really is OTP. And as with Cocoa, the only way to skip those is to reinvent them, or not even reach an understanding of the problem they're solving.

It depends on how you frame it.

"Don't listen too much" could be framed as "Keep your team informed".

"Be patronizing" could mean "Make sure the little things get done".

"Show who's boss" could be "Be a leader", "Be responsible", or "Don't be afraid to delegate".
"If you can't improve them with your own plugin, join them."
He was merely explaining a phenomenon, with no reference to other phenomena. Only some statements imply comparison, not all.

I think that extracting meaning beyond what a statement explicitly states is actually responsible for a lot if not most of the nonsense that happens in Internet discussions, because it's too easy to be wrong. Best to stick with pure logic when you can, or start off asking questions rather than refuting something they might not have meant.
Aside from some unfortunate smudginess here and there the end result is surprisingly good. It reminds me of 17th century texts I've seen: fairly wide, by modern standards, spaces between individual characters, and rounded serifs.

It's not $79/mo. if you have to pay annually. It's $948 per year. The $49/mo. price point should be the month-to-month price. That's a no brainer. Layout out $1000 in one hit is asking too much when the full purchase price is only a few hundred more.

QuarkXPress existed WAAAY before InDesign came out. It was the 800 pound gorilla in the publishing world for many years.

InDesign was the insurgent and KILLED Quark in short order - primarily because Quark had become such a legacy piece of junk and couldn't keep up with the times or the much more modern InDesign.

I think it makes more sense to say something flexible like, "startup CEOs should not make more than 2x their market salary". I say 2x because they might be working twice as many hours. I'm not saying they should get 2x, because that's an argument about whether they should be working harder for equity or for salary, but I think 2x market salary is a reasonable, hard to argue with cap.
They did not "lose" on Flash. 99% market penetration[0] is not losing. I doubt they'll "lose" on HTML and CSS any more than they lost on Dreamweaver, they'll simply pull an Autodesk[1] and target the education and training market. It's hard to beat the Flash IDE for ease-of-use, and I imagine their new HTML-based product(s) will be the same.

Out of interest, what implementation of libc was that?
Re: #1, this is a part of a reasonable answer to "How are they worth so much?" - the purchase of Instagram was made "roughly 30 percent in cash and 70 percent in stock[1]", meaning that the $1B was really ~$300M in cash and a bit under 1% of Facebook.

Maybe that still looks high, but it's certainly not as outrageous as a billion dollars. The bit that makes it look crazy is Facebook's valuation at nearly $100 per active user.

4) Re: Stack-copying; I found that without any attempt at optimizing memory use, my "light" threads were consuming on the order of ~600 bytes of stack (when de-scheduled); with a stack copying approach and a run-time stack of 128kiB, calling large-stack-using libc functions was fine.

5) Re: per-task dedicated stack memory; the default amount of memory allocated per-pthread on our platform is 128kiB, so 64kiB isn't great savings. I detected stack corruption at 32kiB and below by setting a canary value (at the top of the allocated stack) in the scheduler before running a ready "lthread."

A bachelors degree is NOT (and should not be) a guarantee you will get a job. Yes, 30 years ago, a bachelors almost guaranteed you a job. That's because nobody else had one.

That's not really the case any more. More and more people are going to college.

Students know their psych degree is worthless when they graduate. They know it 2 years before they actually do graduate. They didn't go to college to become something, they went to college just because that's what people do now.

The people I know from high school that are successful now went to school to become something (doctors, lawyers, software developers, photographers). The ones that are waiters and waitresses just went to college and took classes.

If I just plunked down ~$100K plus another ~$200K in lost salary for two years of business school, not to mention the money spent and experience gained during my undergrad and subsequent years of employment, do you think I'd stoop down to learn the job of someone who just walked in off the street? The job that requires no advanced degree and a skillset learned through informal training over the internet and some weekend workshops.

I wouldn't because it would be an inordinate waste of my time. Just like a skilled engineer would never walk over to human resources and ask the boss' girlfriend to teach them all about recruiting because after all, recruiting is a core requirement if you plan on expanding your little website business beyond just yourself. They'd simply wing it until they found someone good enough that they could afford to hire.
My hypothesis is that someone who continually gives his time and/or money to worthy causes over his entire life may end up being cumulatively less world changing than someone who spends half her life making money, then switches to philanthropy or world changing ideas later.

Not originally Adobe, but Homesite?

Bit embarrassing, but I actually still use Allaire's Cold Fusion Studio from 1999. I think that was, at the time, the big brother to Homesite.
The only critical benefit I see to CS6 is (hopefully) compatibility with OSX Lion's new app management scheme.

I'm curious to see if/how this catches on. Most creative professionals have already paid for CS so it's more cost effective to upgrade than subscribe, especially if they're doing the skip-every-other-version approach. The only market this works for are enterprise customers who need this kind of payment process.

Perhaps the next generation or two will adopt subscriptions, but I'm skeptical. Like Paul said, if CS becomes subscription only, most new designers will look for something pirateble and/or affordable first.
Doesn't this work on Firefox? It has Canary, IE10 developer preview, Chrome and Webkit builds... no Mozilla!
Homesite was the first thing I thought of, which was definitely one of those trips down memory lane that leaves you thinking "wow, that was how long ago?!"
If you're not a designer, it might be hard to see, but the importance of this work is impossible to overstate. In 10 years, we'll look back on today and think about how barbaric and stupid it was that we didn't have re-flowable text in multi-box CSS layouts or absolute control of typefaces on the web.

I have come upon the edge of what CSS is capable of multiple times, especially when building http://dustincurtis.com, and what happened surprised me: after a while, I noticed that I had started to subconsciously alter my designs to fit within the limitations of the display technology. As I realized that the only sane way to build the layouts was to absolutely/manually position every paragraph, I slowly stopped writing and designing the articles. It was just too much work because the tools to do great custom layouts on the web just don't exist.

Compared to what should be possible by now, CSS is pretty primitive. It's a limiting factor in the digitization of traditional media, like magazines. What Adobe is doing here is awesome, and I commend them for pushing forward the status quo.

H4F - Invisible Proxy... Casper Gem
The most fun computer science related projects I've found are (1) learning new languages and (2) writing new languages.

For (1), I picked up the book Seven Languages in Seven Weeks[0] and learned to write (really basic) Ruby, Io, Erlang, Prolog, Scala, Clojure and Haskell. I didn't write anything great, but it was a lot of fun to play with new ideas.

For (2) I decided a couple of weeks ago to implement my own Lisp[1]. I know almost nothing about Lisp and so I'm making a lot of mistakes and re-inventing the wheel a lot, but having a language whose syntax or semantics is changeable on a whim is just so much fun. Want a syntax for function literals? You can add it. Always thought that hashmaps should be a special case of functions? You can add that too. I can't recommend this enough as a way to rekindle your interest in computer science. I'm going to work on the language in my spare time for a couple more weeks, and then try to write a compiler for it. I've never written a compiler before (I was a math major, not computer science). I have no idea how you do it. But I'm pretty certain it's going to be fun.

I think the advantage lies in being able to use your own editor as opposed to the clunky in-browser editor in stylish or tedious copy/pasting between each iteration. I'd much rather work with this when developing new styles.
I disagree with the last statement. Many of these early acquisitions are poor for the investors.
Photoshop is fast, responsive and made for power users, illustrator and in-design more-so. In fact, all three are absolutely best in class with nothing even close to challenging them.

The problem is more that they don't compete well when the opposition are just text editors, and where people are perfectly happy to remove all the visual stuff.

In my experience, I haven't gotten along with 9/10 people I've met who work at -- and are passionate about -- Microsoft.

It's not because they're not driven to succeed (they are). Nor is it because they're overly confident.

It's because all 9 have lacked empathy and/or the ability to listen.

Now I can tolerate that, provided you do great work.

I've learned that if you can't separate the art from the artist, you may not enjoy much.

But since I think Microsoft creates pretty crappy art, its employees' personalities have really rubbed me with wrong way.
