I never block ads.

I click ads if they're relevant to my interests.

An ad is much more likely to get a click if it's a plain text link, on a page that I like.

There are some exceptions - Unsolicited Bulk Email is never opened. It's deleted unread. (If it gets past the filters.)

I never click anything with sound, or flashing, or scrolling etc.
You can't hate PHP properly unless you use it. But you also can't hate PHP properly unless you use other languages. If you don't use PHP first hand, then you don't know it well enough to appreciate what's truly wrong with it. And if you don't use and know other languages well enough, then you don't appreciate how much better PHP could have been if it wasn't so horribly designed.

So thinking PHP is horrible without ever having ever used it is as bad as thinking PHP is good without ever having used anything better.

People might be confused because there have always been lots of articles on all the explanations that involve new physics and such, which are a lot more exciting to write about (and memorable) than boring, but likely explanations involving non-uniform thermal radiation.
This is good manipulative psychology. The $18 is to anchor your expectation of the price and will appeal to people who just want to get the product as cheaply as possible.

If you love the product, you can pay the "maximum", and because there's a range, it's feels like a ranking. The small increments mean that you don't feel too bad about the extra few dollars. As an improvement, I'd suggest giving labels to the amounts, like "I like CodeKit" to "CodeKit it awesome and makes my life so much easier!"
It's not elegant but it's incredibly compact and isolated. I embedded it as a language in an iPhone game (as have many others). Making it bridge with Objective-C was fairly straight-forward and the memory/speed footprint was acceptable for a mobile device.

Why do you think it's hell? I've been using it for about 2-3 years now and it's really grown on me over that time. I think the most common complaint is that it is too verbose, but that has its advantages too.
I the 1996 analogy makes sense, but that does not mean there's 5 years left until the big crash; the nature of investment and trading horizons is such that it gets shorter all the time -- so what took 5 years 10 years ago, might take less than 2 years now. (At the extreme - stock price reaction to news that took hours in 2000 takes seconds now. Most things haven't speeded as much, but everything speeds up; the tulip bubble took much longer to inflate and pop than the internet/telecomm bubble of the late 90's).

And, just as in 2000/2001, when the bubble pops, it would look like the specific reason was independent (some other economic disaster, like a big bank going bankrupt, or fraud bigger than the MF case, that would disrupt the easy flow of money and would require some liquidation). But the specific event that causes a bubble to pop is actually immaterial.
Yeah, this is really great, between 1.3 and 1.4 no less than 860 individual issues were resolved.

> how hard is it to build a cheap Pi equivalent board?

Cheaper than the RaspberryPi? extremely hard. While a body more experienced than the RaspberryPi with more manufacturing clout can probably do that, the RaspberryPi foundation is a non-profit. Roku/Apple might be able to build a RaspberryPi for 75% the price, but their own profit would make it more expensive.

There are equivalently-or-better specced stuff on the market (Roku boxes that run Linux that can occasionally be found for $50, Apple TV that can occasionally be found for $80). But nothing at the $25/$35 price point with similar specs - and I don't expect any in the near future.
I hate advertising with a fiery, livid passion, and want the advertising industry to die because all advertising tends towards the state of spam; it's about stealing precious seconds of your life to make you do something you don't want to do.

Of course you need native code on the foundation. But it doesn't look to me like mobile is really going to change the equation that you only need one native programmer for every 100 higher level programmers.

I'm not optimistic about trying to generate good native code from a language like Ruby. You need much more control over memory layout, just for starters, to get real native speeds.
I tried using Pimsleur to learn Dutch, but I must say that I didn't like it too much.
The language they used was way too formal, and people here in the Netherlands don't really speak like that too much.

Michael Thomas courses, on the other hand, have been very helpful. Instead of just drilling how to ask for directions, you get taught how to form sentences.

Then again, it probably comes down to personal preferences.
While I agree with most of your points, I think that you've mistaken engineering school with soft skills/personal management course that you can attend on weekends or order on DVD for $19.99.

To be honest, I never actually believed anyone can learn these things by being told how it works (in contrary to engineering, BTW). Making a mistake is an important part of the process. Otherwise you will get a two-week lasting hype "I will change my life and be more mature from now on" and then you are back to normal. There has to be some feedback and positive feedback is simply not fast enough.
Language-wise, though, while I might know a certain language up to a certain level of fluency, I won't offer to teach that level to someone else. If I'm fluent (or intermediate), I'll have no problem teaching up to intermediate (or beginner) level.

Teaching something to show you are retaining it isn't the best way to go, though teaching something to show you have retained it is better.

Without going into too much detail of how techcrunch creates traffic, if it really was the cited comment from Steve Jobs which let to the decission to let the case go forward they weren't that wrong.

Even if not, Jobs was Apple CEO when these agreements were met (if they were actually met, waht will be shown during the lawsuite), so I already saw worse traffis creating headlines elsewhere.
You should probably email them first to check that they are aware of the issue or if indeed it is intentional.

If it is, and it is not mentioned in their T+Cs or anywhere on their site so that their customers are aware that their affiliation with the service can be discovered easily by third parties then I would consider it a problem.
In this case I think disclosing the company name so that its customers are informed is not an issue but I would not release the tool to get the data.

Matz talk about MRuby
Sometimes software developers have to do things they don't completely enjoy in order to do their work, like write PHP code, or test software, or fix bugs, or read documentation, or read other peoples code, or go to meetings, or create accounts on the system they're writing software for, or look at widely used systems that they would not normally use themselves. It's a hard life. But then again, there's an upside: you get to listen to yourself complain about having to do things you don't like doing. And that makes it all worth it.

Kittens power the internet, everybody knows that.
It has pretty much always been against the terms of service to use VoIP on your mobile data plan. At least for the vast majority of service providers in Sweden, just that it hasn't been enforced (my understanding of it at least). The only thing that changes now is that it is allowed (but with a fee attached to it).

I guess the problem stems from that competition has made mobile data plans too cheap and thus have been subsidized by regular calls. If the customers take advantage of this and use VoIP instead the service providers are in trouble.

Which kind of makes sense. The only reason you'd ever want VoIP on your phone is so that you can skip the middleman (who is the one that pays for the network your call goes through, VoIP or not).

I think there's a bug here, maybe only some people are seeing it.

You're describing the UI for drawing/connecting the lines (optionally with arrows) which is very nice. What's strange is that every other shape if you click on it produced an item in the top left which you can drag to the required position and size. But, at least for me, the lines don't do this, you need to drag from the palette onto the screen then drag the ends onto boxes or where you want them. Seems strange to me.

The US Foreign Service Institute makes estimates for language difficulties for native English speakers, and they seem to be spot on in terms of comparative difficulty—Russian seems to be taking twice as long as French did for me, and they estimate languages like Chinese to take twice as long as Russian.

"Please don't do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or adding a parenthetical remark saying how great an article is. It's implicit in submitting something that you think it's important."

PS- I think codekit is awesome too.
Experience taught me this:

In the world of OS X/iOS the frameworks are really important. You have to understand them. You have to work with them. It is not uncommon that you need much more time to get familiar with a framework than to get familiar with Objective-C.

Take Core Data for example: Core Data is an extremely cool framework but you need a couple of days to understand the basics, a couple of weeks to understand the advanced concepts and years to really master it.

Objective-C is a pretty easy programming language.

So a a conclusion: Does it really make sense to replace Objective-C with - lets say Ruby? What do you gain? Lets assume you already know Ruby - then it saves you to learn Objective-C. But 90% of the time you will deal with the frameworks - not with the language. In my opinion it does not really make sense to use Ruby instead of Objective-C because you save so little.

One weird thing, though Botanicula seems to be made with Adobe Air - which is no longer supported on Linux (according to http://get.adobe.com/air/ checked from this current Ubuntu I'm using)... Bummer, got to see whether the unsupported Air versions work still.

[edit] Also, there's a WTF... from TotalBiscuit about the game: http://youtu.be/0PIz87oIKN0
You never get an "x mbit" slot on any network regardless of whether it is wired or not (as a regular customer) - thus you always get less than that.

Also, the main purpose of a mobile network is to be able to make calls. Thus calls must have a priority (something that probably will get (since people are beginning to solely rely on their cellphone for all calls (including emergency calls)), if it isn't already, mandated by law).

And regardless, the service providers must recoup their costs somehow. Since voice by itself isn't high-bandwidth paying only for the bandwidth would make data plans much more expensive, is that preferable?

While the notion of a completely content-agnostic network is neat wireless networks have much tougher constraints on them and can easily be overloaded, in practice you must have priorities and somehow you must pay for those priorities.

>But for some reason. Apple can't get a decent programmer. Their software sucks. Plain down right sucks. I love using apple hardware but I can't stand any software made by them. (See: Xcode, Itunes, Safari)

If you prefer Emacs/Vim, OK, but I can't see a much better tool than XCode for Objective-C (and arguably C/C++), plus UI building. Version 4 is buggy and crashes, but then again it's a mostly complete rewrite of the old XCode codebase. 4.3 is stabler than previous 4.x releases --it will get better.

As for iTunes, I can't see any problem with it, besides handling a lot of different functionality in one app. Do you see many actual bugs in day to day use? Because using it for almost 10 years, I don't remember any.

Safari, yes, tend to do some stupid things. Though, Chrome, to which I migrated is also based on Apple code for the core engine.

Plus: the OS, Logic, Aperture, Pages, Keynote, all top notch apps.
Looks good, but interesting how Codekit can refresh your browser but can't monitor a filesystem.

"Instantly see changes in your browser, with animation and without hitting the refresh button or installing plugins."

Unfortunately it can't be operated by the nerd who built it.

The software is a disaster, there are a few dozen builds of the libraries required to operate it, and only certain combinations work.

I've tried around 20 combinations so far and not one prints correctly in automatic mode.

When I have the time (and desire) it's something that I'll solve (I'm a software engineer after all, the community is mainly tech/mech engineers).

It is difficult to find a black cat in a dark room, especially if there is no cat.

Many of the comments assume that a valuation, derived from stock price or venture financing, is rational.

It is not.

Yes, the value of the business is defined by future cash flow adjusted for time-value of money and risk. In case of new, unknown businesses/industries, without prior history, it is not possible to estimate the future cash flow and the associated risk.

Therefore, if we would look at this from investment angle, I would compare this to a gamble, or, taking into account human component, a poker tournament [from my financial perspective].

P.S.: of course in case of Dropbox and Evernote, which have revenue, it is possible to do some financial modeling, but this would not substitute future cash flow since risk/uncertainty is still an open question.

P.P.S.: in the past the best strategy was to follow the ride and get off the train before everybody else ..... :-)

To some extent yes, but in my ~1 yr recent experience giving oral exams (moved to Europe, coming from the U.S. university system that rarely uses them), I've found that students' personality has a larger influence on the process than I'd like. When oral exams work well they're hard to beat with another method, but the setting tends to favor more gregarious personalities with social confidence, and penalizes students who get very nervous or flustered in that kind of on-the-spot, face-to-face situation.

Being able to handle that setting is also a useful skill, of course, so you could argue it's fair to test. It's not the only useful skill, though, and it's not clear to me if it's being overweighted (even when I actively try not to). For example, in a computer graphics course, there are students who could do brilliant work if you let them sit alone for 60 minutes with a compiler (or with a piece of paper and some formulas), but who don't shine when examined orally, and vice-versa. There are some students who will do well in all modalities, and some who'll do poorly in all, but I think there's a significant number who will do differently depending on whether your exam is a 30-minute oral exam or a 3-hour take-home exam, so that choice really changes what you're testing for.
