There's already enough food for everyone. It's just not distributed very well. Some people live in places where growing food is vey hard; either the climate is wrong or they don't have enough money for machinery or many people are ill or dying from disease.

Expensive lab-created product isn't likely to help with that particularly much, when we have trouble distributing cheap (0.5usd) rehydration salts that save lives.

Can Google come after you in any way for disabling ads? I would think that you are in the clear, otherwise AdBlocker would not exist, but I could be wrong.

The "icons for attachments" is the killer feature for me and would install an extension only for that. It will really save me time. Cheers!

edit: can you remove the button? It does nothing but provide short-cuts to options and update (which I don't really get since extensions auto-update). I know I can hide it, but it would be better (IMO) to include the link to settings/donate somewhere in gmail.
My blog has 512 posts since November of 2002. The only way using a static page generator is at all feasible to me is by not having to regenerate the site on my end.

Two reasons for this: One is that the page generation takes up to 45 seconds (with Jekyll, so punch might be faster there). The other is that if I generate locally and then want to push to github pages (having *.github.com is very fitting for a programmer's blog IMHO), every post will also create huge amounts of additional changes (I have a "recent posts" section in the sidebar) which makes for a really, really messy commit history.

So with Jekyll (based on jekyll-bootstrap), I can create a small commit for a new post and then offload page generation to github, fixing both of my issues.

As such for $other_solution to really be better than Jekyll in my use case, it must at least have that one feature that is page-generation by github pages.

Punch doesn't have it and thus, I wouldn't say that it's "better than Jekyll".

>Virtually every legal way I know of making money helps society

I respectfully disagree. Here are a few examples why:

- In my country 1 in 4 people are employed by the government. Their income does not come from 'customers', it comes from tax payers. Many large gov. contracts are won through corruption.

- The weapons industry makes money. It benefits from war.

- Paper/oil/meat/mining industries are huge, they're largely fed by non renewable and increasingly precious resources.

- The food industry is making money while systematically destroying peoples health and negatively shaping societies relationship with food.

- etc etc.

>"You don't get to be a millionaire by making people miserable."

How quickly we forget. The housing market crash was created by a whole swathe of people getting rich while making people miserable. Financiers rarely consider the consequences of their decisions, they think about the bottom line.

This is a great start. Jekyll is perfect for blogs, but as the readme says this is for full websites. I just don't understand why I would want client-side rendering- isn't the entire point of Jekyll that you would serve static files?
2 quick stories:

1. My fraternity brother's father (a successful doctor) took the two of us out to dinner. He asked what I was studying. I told him computers. He said, "Good. As you know, I want John to study medicine. But if he didn't want to, I would want him to pursue computers. But definitely not law. I don't want my son spending the rest of his life chasing dollars." Strange remark. But somehow, it really left an impression on me. I've always wanted to have fun and make a difference, but never wanted to be like so many business people I've encountered whose sole purpose seems to be the pursuit of money for its own sake.

2. My mentor and first co-founder on the subject of money: "It's never about the money. And it's certainly not about us. Our first, second, and third responsibilities are making sure our customers get what they need. That being said, it we earn a lot of money in the process, what's so bad about that?"

RE. issue 2) and 3) I just thought that data cubes an open, but standardized format could help - not only in the financial area: I found RDF data cubes ( http://publishing-statistical-data.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/... ) perhaps being a part of the solution there, with the value add that you could easily connect different data source using their semantics.

(liked the "basecamp for analytics" point)
It's this very narrow definition that is my problem. Your Average Silicon Valley Co-founder can't even imagine that a company could not be about web or mobile apps. I find this apalling.

It makes me wonder whether Peter Thiel is right when he says that the Valley should think more about flying cars and not about 140 characters. I wonder whether the people in the Valley lost the ability to think about anything other than 140 characters.

It sure is a competitive advantage of other high-tech regions in the world: less (or different) tunnel vision.
Nice! I got bored before I finished the first level, but not before I was trying to use stuff like ^,$ and ctrl+f, ctrl+b, 5l to get to the end of the tunnels faster and those didn't work. Is more advanced editing unlocked in later levels? or is this just for getting off the arrow keys? I can imagine some cool things in a more advanced vim game like * for teleporting between words, mm to drop a bookmark, :badd to get to a new level ...
Why is "Archive" grayed out in my XCode?

Update: When one picks "iOS Device" under schemes, Archive becomes available, but building fails with the message "There are no valid certificate/private key pairs in the default keychain".

Well, if I need those, why didn't you build those for me XCode? And how do I build those now? They don't seem to be the same as an ssh key...

Is this the best you can do XCode, really?

I spent the passed weekend moving my blog off Wordpress to Octopress mostly for performance reasons. Wordpress has become a fantastic feature-loaded CMS. But a blog really doesn't need much of the functionality nor complexity that comes along with it. There's something beautiful and simple about blogging in static HTML.

My bet is on the Pro and Air lines converging. There is not much reason for an optical drive anymore in the Pros and, without it, they could be thinner.

I expect the 13" MBP to vanish or be turned into an Air with a spinning metal disk and beefier battery and GPU.
Making money almost always goes with creating value, but in some cases the optimal strategy to make money does not involve creating value.

If a business that treats money as its primary objective encounters one of these cases, it will defeat its value-creating competition and become a parasite to society.
Can you define "release" and "it" please?

Is "it" some file on disk? I don't see it.

I'm living in Canada right now but considering starting a startup in the Caribbean (where I'm originally from) but I know from experience that the talent there is nowhere as good as it is here. I'd probably have to recruit from North America, similar to what the guys at Tropical MBA are doing.

Not relevant here.

The paper talks about correctness for parallel kernel-level threads. In contrast, lthreads are about concurrency. These user-level threads are about software architecture, because they are more elegant than an event-loop. Parallelism (exploiting multicore hardware for a speedup) is a secondary goal, but it is much easier to parallelize a user-level thread program compared to an event loop program.

> Anyone who has ever had the book of someone with no design background in their hands will be able to testify that there is a huge difference between books done by a professional typesetter and an amateur (if that amateur isn't self-taught and doesn't otherwise care about design).

I've read books double spaced with monospaced fonts on shitty LCD monitors - I was able to ignore the terrible presentation because the content was amazing. I've read books where there was a lot of attention paid to design. The paper was nice, the font was carefully chosen, the drop caps were just right, the chapter bullets were spot on, and the cover art was exquisite. The content was awful. The great design did not make me think I'd spent the money well. The great design did not make me rate the book higher on Amazon.

I never recommend a book because of the nice typeface, or the lack of rivers. I only ever recommend a book because of the plotting or characters or writing.

I have not said (but some people seem to think I have) that design is a pointless waste of time. I have said that given the choice between great content or great presentation that I'd much rather have great content.

These are all visual examples. I want to try and avoid analogy (because I usually pick poor choices) but the same is sometimes true for sound. Some early Beatles[1] records are, technically, decidedly sub-optimal compared to today's technology. But that's okay, because they're still amazing. Some awful dull band recorded with 128 track and a bunch of processing and a great engineer is still going to be bad and bland because, well, just because.

[1] I say Beatles but better examples would be all the music on Trojan records, which are pretty lo-fi. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3AbgBOcYHg&feature=fvwre...)

Two questions my dad would have if I showed this to him:

- How do I pronounce this?

- What does "poly-browser extension" mean?

It doesn't matter that it's cross-browser or even that it's an extension. Those are descriptions of the technical architecture. What matters is how it makes my life better: it improves Gmail by getting rid of ads, etc.

Perhaps my dad isn't your target audience. But it might be worth testing an alternate design that includes more accessible copy.

We'll just have to agree to disagree. I'm still trying to decide if I'm just being trolled. But no, when I program, I have a lot more going on. I have Postgres, Cassandra, and redis doing some work, another JVM instance running RubyMine or IDEA, possibly another JVM instance for the test runner, and maybe a VM. Nor do I shut down every other app on the system, so my email, chat clients, and browser windows are all open in the background. Usually a browser is open and available on the second screen so I can verify the results of my work (Web product) or reference API documentation. That workload in no way is represented by a Photoshop rendering test where that's the only task being run.

In any event, I no longer own a Mac. It would be an assault on the scientific process for me to provide steps for an experiment from memory and possibly use imprecise language or miss a step. Moreover, I fail to see what it would even gain in this case, since neither of us could do anything about the results. FWIW, I did switch to Linux natively on my MBP before outright replacing it and found I hardly ever swapped, so I exhausted my options to rule out bad hardware. I'm quite certain it was the OS, but even if it wasn't and I'm just a fool, at least I'm a happy fool with my switch and that's good enough for me.
Just to pick up on one point here: the author suggests that his proposal will "enable micropayments", on the basis that "since this payment platform is handled by the credit card companies [...] they can easily charge only a percentage".

This is not how interchange fees currently work. Visa/Mastercard/AmEx interchange fees are nearly always a percentage + flat rate: the exact same model as PayPal, et al.

So whilst I suppose it is true that card issuers could only charge a percentage, this proposal has no incentive for them to do so.

Not as nice as true integration, but in OmniGraffle you can link to an external file for the image in an object instead of copying it into the document. Better yet, when OmniGraffle receives focus, it notices when such external files change, and updates the document (I use 4.2.3 of OmniGraffle Pro, which is old, so this feature may have been improved and/or removed)

The latest version of OmniGraffle has Bezier curves, but I haven't used them, so I do not know whether they are any good, but I would guess that they may be lacking for the cases where you want to do more artistic drawing. It is more a diagramming tool than a drawing tool.
It always grates me when people with lot's of money tell people who don't have lot's of money, that it's not about the money.

Money my not equal happiness, but a lack of money certainly equals stress and misery. And while people are being stressed and miserable, they're not at their best.

I think people would find it hard to be so nonchalant about the importance of money and the benefits it can bring if they were worried about how they were going to pay the rent, or if they had a sick kid they couldn't afford to treat properly.

"Virtually every legal way I know of making money helps society."

Gambling does not help society, and it is legal:

Buy a house for x, sell it to a fool that will pay 4x, who will sell it to a bigger fool for 6x. Now houses go back to x. The only problem is that the bigger fool is the normal American or European middle class that in not an expert on economics and it has been fooled will all their savings from experts with their own money(investment banks takes the money from banks because they are the same since it become legal).

You can say: "I can choose not to buy a house". But then bailouts happen and you pay for it.

Invest on a company, lets call it "makebook", x money lended from pension funds, "makebook" gives (1/10000)x profits a year, sell private stocks to bigger fools for 10x("internet""cloud","social" or any other magical word companies, are the future...), and let those sell again to bigger fools for 100x. Now the company make an IPO for $100B is never going to recoup, but middle class get crushed again.

Also money printing makes a lot of money, it is the main way to "make" money in the world.

I mean I agree with you in what it should be, but a big part of the world does not work that way.
I do think this is a big problem (bigger than it was a few decades ago), but I think on average it's still not mostly about the money for most scientists. People don't go into physics because they want to get rich, but mainly because they want to research physics. At least, they shouldn't, because if your main goal is making money, the physics-professor route is far from the optimal one.

I agree that incentives are increasingly selecting for empire-builders, though, which is money-related. There are some people who really want to manage a big, important physics lab, and are more ambivalent about the physics itself, and those people are nowadays being selected for.
Right on. It's not about being able to drive a Porsche, it's about not having to worry about the rent.
tldr: It wasn't that they couldn't keep up with the times, it's that they didn't, because they were milking their cash cow hard and wilfully ignoring the future.

Quark committed suicide: they outsourced virtually all of their R&D, leaving none of the people who had built the previous versions employed. They ignored their users, assuming they were captive, for more than a decade.

They also ignored the move to OS X for literally years, leaving (mainly Mac-based) users to choose between staying on OS 9 and moving to Windows and buying all new hardware.

Adobe came along at just the right moment with InDesign -- ran on OS X, best-of-class print tools -- and you could almost hear the stampede.

A real pity, too, as InDesign has a horrorshow UI, while XPress's "make boxes, put things in them" metaphor is exactly how DTP should be done.
There's a difference between money for the university and money for yourself. I think the poster was trying to point out that taking an academic job is not the path to riches.

For example, I made more at around five years in to working at Microsoft than I will as a professor unless I manage to make full professor at a top university _and_ run my own lab. Undergraduate starting salaries in this field, from top-tier institutions, are still far above assistant faculty salaries, despite ~8 years less education (a post-doctoral stint is basically mandatory to even get a faculty position interview at this point).

So, even if I made the very top tier of my field and stayed there until senility sets in, it's questionable whether I could ever make up for the lost wages during my re-education. And that's assuming I had never gotten another raise beyond inflation, ever.

At least in CS, you don't go into academia for the money.
