Did you ever learn the keyboard shortcuts?

Why I love Gmail is combining 80% of the power of CLI mail clients like mutt with 80% of the visual presentation of native clients.

I process hundreds of emails a day, and that's on top of the coding work I'm expected to do. Being able to work through them with vi-style keyboard shortcuts for everything including rapid labeling is the killer feature that nothing else comes close to.
It's just background information for the uninitiated.

Is there anything forcing them to keep supplying liquidity even if the market's moving against them?

No.

If not, and they earn a premium, why isn't that evidence that something's broken?

No, it makes more sense than you think. It's not total sense, but it makes more sense than you think. It's just that since you don't seem to know what the terms mean you're getting a greater sense of confusion than is justified, plus technical people just can't resist the lure of trying to create bizarre exceptions which don't help.

What constitutes a single work is basically what a person on the street would answer is a single thing. What constitutes a collective work is basically what a person on the street would call a collective work, after they answer the first question. (That is, if you start here they might say an album is one work, but if you get them to agree that a song is one thing once they probably won't say that.) What constitutes copying is basically what a person on the street would agree is copying. That certainly isn't good enough advice to go off of if you're going to try to build a business off of it or something, and edge cases abound, but the core concepts aren't anywhere near as screwed up as you might think. The problem isn't conceptual with copyright, it is how the concepts are used and abused.

That's a very common UI mechanism on the web. The alternative is to have a bunch of handles and buttons plastered over everything.

Most desktop UIs are the same - there's all sorts of right click options on various UI elements, and have been for years. Drag and drop, drag to select, dragging stuff into your recycle bin or onto another folder to copy them.

How are you supposed to know that? By experimenting with your UI and learning how it works.

That is the biggest problem with dynamic languages, they don't scale.

In the enterprise projects where I work, usually with around 200+ developers scattered around the globe, it is unthinkable to use dynamic languages in such environments.

We already have issues with static languages in the CI system. I cannot think how it would look like doing the project in a dynamic language.
It depends on the significance of the plugin, which might not be proportional to its size. Of course a plugin from a tutorial is not going to be earth-hsattering in either respect, but if you have a small plugin that is significantly important to several online apps then you might want to go the extra mile in its test coverage.

Also - I've had more promising idea to generate game worlds, which I've never got to work, but maybe it's time to try again..

The idea is - to use markov chain generation to generate level on the fly. First game designer will build small level from tiles by hand, then level editor app will analyse level for conditional probabilities that the next tile is Y given previous tiles in each direction are X0, X1, ..., Xn. Then in game levels would be generated on the fly, using these probabilities.

Unfortunately to ensure consistence of level, we must have some "frame", that is generated in some different way, and we must generate whole inside of frames at once, when player is near.

For example tiles on coordinates where (x%64 == 0 or y%64 == 0) are generated from Perlin noise, and inside is generated by doing markow chain "associated press algorithm", but on tiles instead of letters. Order of generation inside the frame needs to be specified, for example bottom-up, left-to-right.

The problems I've encountered were associated with big amount of memory needed to keep info about all conditional probabilities, and general complexity of this approach, but I need to try it again some day.
With the exception of Twitter (which Google tried to buy), I think all of these companies are their natural enemies.

Apple is a natural enemy of Google for the exact same reason Microsoft is - they don't want to see their products commoditized by web apps. The Apple/Google alliance was unnatural and only lasted as long as their common enemy did. Meanwhile, Yahoo and Facebook offer core services that broadly overlap with Google's (even pre-Google+). Both are competing for the same advertisers' dollars. And Facebook's deep social graph has been identified as a threat to Google's search for a long time.
"Out of curiosity, what happens if a second company (say, Anglo Platinum) goes out there and blows up the facilities of these guys?"

War.

However, the good news is that even on Earth the benefits of cooperation tend to outweigh the benefits of aggression, in space for the foreseeable future it will be even more so. It is so, so easy to trash a space facility and so, so hard to defend against it that in essence all private companies in space will de facto be in a MAD situation should they decide to go that route. It will be a long time before anyone will have a position where they can afford to attack somebody and have a reasonable expectation of survival.

> People spend many hours perfecting their workflow in one environment and FLIP THEIR LIDS when someone changes it. It's not a rational thing

I've had some thoughts on this recently, and wholeheartedly disagree. We spend aeons engineering stability into every other interface within a software ecosystem, since it's supposed to improve stability, reduce surprising breakage, improve engineer efficiency, discoverability, etc., but when it comes to interfaces in the user plane, it's like the only established methodology is FUCK YOU Driven Development.

In these systems, and Gmail, the user is not considered an intelligent, complex actor in the system, but instead something more like a child sitting in a cinema whose only criteria for synchrony is to be repeatedly dazzled by confounding changes to the way it interacts with the system.

This is fundamentally wrong in so many ways. Not least, the user is the main purpose for the existence of these systems (er, right??), and yet the user's interface to the system is the one most likely to functionally break without warning.

You cannot address the reliability of the entire system without considering the last mile - dropping a change the size of the Gmail redesign on millions of users without a multitude of small iterations, or with a huge amount of fanfare and warning, is an unmitigated disaster for the reliability and efficiency of the overall system.

I don't give 2 fucks how much of the scientific method was abused to create the new system up to that point, if it doesn't comfortably fit the millions of delicate tendrils that have grown between my mind and it, then from the user's perspective the change is much closer to an abject failure.

I suspect in years to come this will be an increasingly important area for study, and I pray the outcome to some extent will simply be that corporations will need to give up achieving quick feel-good wins by arbitrarily fucking with the user-machine interface, although I could be wrong. We could always be further reduced to that mindless entertainment-only child in the cinema, responsible only for the most basic direction of the outcomes of our interaction with the overall system, the tacit attitude of the large corporations as they drop huge changes like this without warning.

The outcry we hear over these changes isn't just bored people being picky, it's the sound of a trillion dying neurons in a million interconnected biological systems. Much as a fully grown cat wouldn't fare well being stuffed into a jar, the users here suffer just the same. Thin the cat's diet slowly over time, widen a border here, replace some text with an icon there, and the small bits of death and shrinkage that occur over time will mean that cat will soon be ready to contentedly purr its way into that jar and fall into a dreamy slumber all of its own accord.
The idea that there could be something bizarre and dangerous is basically a Hollywood science fiction idea. In a Hollywood movie, sure, the inside of this rock would house an alien space fleet that was just waiting for us to mine it and attack and try to wipe out humanity, only to be stopped by the plucky scientist who was skeptical about the operation all along and warning about how dangerous it is.

In reality, it's a rock with some metals running through it, and that's basically a full description. It isn't covered in deadly deadly viruses; if it were, Earth would long since have been exposed to them, we're hit by space rocks all the time. It isn't housing an alien fleet. It isn't anchoring a wormhole to a dimension of Cthuluian horrors. There isn't any bizarre chemistry that will cause a chain reaction that will turn all the oceans into gel if it so much as orbits. It's a rock, except it's in space.

Everything that could go wrong in such a scenario did, a long time ago, over and over again.

Actually, Trimble's focus is not on consumer GPS, it is on machine control (heavy equipment GPS guidance), survey, and build construction. I'm familiar with the machine control hardware through my involvement with a Trimble distributor. The accuracy, especially vertical, achieved through Trimble's machine control is incredible. However, that accuracy is only achieved through the use of a static "base" and mobile (attached to machinery i.e. bulldozer) "rovers".

I do agree that the technology has become much cheaper over the last 10 years, while Trimble's pricing has not fallen at the same rate.

Platinum is used in a lot of stuff. Catalytic convertors, electronics, but perhaps most importantly in fuel cells. Usage is going to increase dramatically, meaning people will need this stuff. Getting something in space down to Earth surface is not as expensive as escaping Earth gravity.

You really think platinum is going to drop from $50,000 per kg to something like $1,000 per kg before they've made their money back?

For example, in Ruby, you use strings and symbols for a lot of disparate things. In Haskell, you'd introduce a type for each purpose to encode your intent in a way the compiler understands

But then in Ruby if you want to you can encapsulate behaviour and your intent in objects instead of types - as concepts become more complex, you may introduce an object which encapsulates the data and provides checked interfaces for it. Taking the example of a telephone number, you might define a PhoneNumber Class in Ruby which encodes your intent and enforces an interface in much the same way as a Type in Haskell might (?), but if your use of telephone numbers is simply as an unformatted string, you don't have to introduce that complication initially. A static typing system is not the only way to encode that sort of information is it?

I do find the example above somewhat puzzling, as idiomatic ruby would be more like foo.bar if you want the value of bar (which should have an accessor defined if you are allowed to read it). What I was hoping for was an example of the two languages side by side demonstrating some small mistake which leads to errors or unintended consequences because of a lack of static typing in Ruby.

If you're counting no method errors as type errors then I must hang my head in shame :) Usually those are caught before going into production though by either unit tests or normal testing. You catch typos (with or without strong typing) on compilation in a compiled language, but you have to catch them with testing at runtime in an interpreted one. But is that really related to static typing or compiled versus interpreted?

I'm intrigued by the enforced types of Haskell though, so this article is an interesting starting point in the comparison, and thanks for trying to explain it.

I cannot agree with (4.) "You [..] need to bring back the entire asteroid, which would require a massive amount of delta-V".

You don't need a rocket nor fuel for the full delta-v to put the asteroid into a near earth orbit. Look how mars probes arrive: just use a tiny rocket motor to steer into the athmosphere and perform aero braking. Takes long, could even take years to reshape the orbit, but it doesn't neccessarily take much fuel. I'd just place a light-weight ion engine on the asteroid.

I just don't get this article from the sense that I have used GMail as my primary email client for the past 5 years and I their redesign didn't affect me at all. The things this author talks about seem to be more of personal preferences than actual objective thought. There has only been one thing that has ever really bugged me about GMail and it has nothing to do with the visual design. I don't like how they treat Folders and Tags as sort of the same thing. In my mind, they are two separate things. I want to organize my mail into folders, but I also want to tag them with keywords that have cross-cutting concerns (ex. folders Work or Home, but tags like Expenses that could be on emails in both folders).

Now, I understand that what I am talking about is sort of a personal preferences as well, but I guess my point is that I would care more about changes to functionality in GMail than small, minor visual changes like the ones this author describes. I sort of agree with their mentality that people eventually figure out the new UI and then it is no longer an issue.
If I was them, I would try to move the whole asteroid. Maybe Amun is too big, but there will be smaller ones. Whith a little billiard playing with gravity, they could be "smoothly crashed" into the Moon, or even some deserted Earth location. Maybe ideal result would be placing it in not-so-low Earth orbit and make the extracted materials go spiraling down to the surface.

Disclaimer: I haven't the faintest idea of the amount of energy needed to move celestial bodies, but I guess it could be made so the first targets will be small ones and using the resources obtained from them, create stronger and stronger infrastructure to capture bigger ones.

EDIT: Archimedes already said it. To move worlds they first need a big enough lever and a place to put it.

Continuous Delivery - Adding Static Analysis
Fair enough - I accept dynamic languages are not always suited to larger projects, particularly with a large number of developers involved all working on the same code. I suppose it is possible to impose structure in a dynamic language by having strict rules about interfaces and documentation, but at some point (which you have obviously experienced) it becomes much more attractive to have the compiler do it for you.

For smaller projects however, with smaller teams, dynamic languages do have less overhead, which is perhaps why they are so popular for web apps.

I'm searching an easy lisp web framework.
My programming experience is not much (besides HTML and CSS), I use sometimes AUTOLISP for Autocad (It was my first real language besides some BASIC) and for me is much more simple to understand and read than other languages.
No joke. With lisp I feel that I always I'm in control and know where each piece of code belongs, instead of other languages where everything floats around with more or less arbitrary indentation.
I'm an architect (or used to be one) but due to construction crisis I'm trying to change job, using my design skills to web development. Is there any RAILS for LISP?
It's a pity that Lisp community is so antisocial. "They" should make a good website and create a real brand that could help newbies and boost popularity.
