My experience with Dell support was actually pretty good. A DVD-drive in my desktop broke after a few months, and after calling Dell support and going through some obligatory motions (turning the computer on/off, re-installing some drivers etc), they just sent me a new DVD-drive.

We should also ban knives too and let robots do all the cooking.

Also, the presumption that computers can get better at driving is wishful thinking. Good enough definitely, more efficient probably, but better? I don't think so.

From a technical perspective, the human brain is the best pattern matching processor in existence and when driving it's the edge cases that cause accidents ... a deer or child stepping in front of your car, bad weather conditions leading to muddy roads or glazed frost, potholes, traffic congestions, human-powered vehicles (like bikes) and the list goes on, with the number of variables and possible outcomes possible being really big.

And for instance a processor can't know your safety priorities. Say a child steps in front of your speeding car, would your risk pulling the wheel and going off-road to avoid the hit? I would. But what if your own son is in the backseat? Then I would hit the breaks and hope for the best. But what if you're going 90 miles on the highway and a cat steps in front of your car? Personally, I wouldn't even hit the breaks, even though I love cats, because sudden breaking on the highway is very dangerous.

Liverpool v Chelsea 
TEAM NEWS

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is likely to start £35 million striker Andy

Carroll at Anfield following his goal in the FA Cup final against the Blues.

Carroll's introduction from the bench during the final gave Liverpool a fresh

impetus and he came very close to scoring an equaliser but for a good save from

Petr Cech. The former Newcastle frontman is likely to replace Craig Bellamy in the

starting XI while midfielder Jay Spearing may also miss out after his disappointing

display at Wembley.

Chelsea are set to be without David Luiz and Gary Cahill again. The centre-backs

have been stepping up their recovery from hamstring injuries, with caretaker

manager Roberto Di Matteo last week hopeful they could return to full training this

week. Di Matteo will also assess how his FA Cup final heroes have reacted to

Saturday's Wembley exertions before deciding on his team against the same

opponents.

Zuckerburg was scared that instagram would dominate photosharing on mobile. Photosharing is key to facebook's success. That's why he bought instagram. Nothing more nothing less.

Monetary Value = how much someone is willing to pay. Facebook was willing to pay $1B, so yes, instagram is worth $1B. Instagram may never produce any significant revenue, it's value is that it's a strategic asset to facebook. Just like the patent purchases they recently made.

I think Instagram got pretty lucky with the timing(since we are in a bubble) and the purchaser. Facebook's mobile app is not very good. Facebook should of been more aware of it's competitors and acquired them earlier on. And facebook should of negotiated better.

That said if they put the instagram guys to work improving the facebook app it may well end being worth 1B$ in actual revenue. (Though this was clearly primarily strategic, not talent acquisition).

Instagram seems like a company designed for acquisition, on it's own it probably could never monetize very well. But it has undeniable strategic value for a company trying to expand or maintain their social and mobile presence.
As a native spanish speaker: it reminds you much more of "adios" (goodbye). I didn't even think of "odioso", which isn't nearly so common.

The first code that I was actually paid for was written in PHP. I was a hungry student trying to earn some money and gather some experience.

We were a small studio making websites. There were enough customers, and my income depended directly on how many "projects" I could do in a short timeframe, so naturally, I wanted to do more, faster.

Of course, PHP was the easiest way to achieve that goal. I would take a CMS, slap the design onto it, write some php and javascript code to make it behave as expected, and voila. The client was happy, my boss was happy and I got paid, but I was not happy at all, because the whole thing was soul-crushingly boring, stupid and I had already learned enough of a decent programming language to understand the shortcomings of php and be irritated by them.

When I got an (unpaid) internship at a real company offering work on more interesting (non-web) projects, I left that php sweatshop as fast as I could, without ever looking back.

Point is, if you want to spend the rest of your career slapping around icky php code (like my 17-year-old self), then by all means, learn nothing, talk about how it's the result that matters and do your best to keep your horizons as narrow as possible. good day.

I just got 114wpm random on a ThinkPad T400 using a qwerty layout (note that all the keys I mention below assume a qwerty layout). I couldn't find a non-random option on that site. I prefer the feel of the MacBook-style keyboards, and I think I'm more accurate on them, but I don't have one in front of me right now to test my speed. I might be faster on a ThinkPad.

For me, one of the biggest factors in choosing a keyboard is if it has a right control key directly under the forward slash. I use the key to the left of the A (Caps Lock on my ThinkPad) as my left control key when a key chord involves a letter on the right hand side of the keyboard (e.g. C-u in qwerty), but I still use my right control key in chords whose letter is on the left side of the keyboard (e.g. C-a). I've considered trying to get used to using the left control key all the time to preserve my right pinky and to faciliate the adoption of new keyboards (e.g. MacBook), but I'm not there yet.

Was that startup not paying you a salary while you were working there? Were you somehow managing to spend your entire paycheck every week?

These are the most basic of life skills, and if you find you're not rapidly saving lots of money while making any form of salary greater than $50k/year, that's a big red flag.

Seeing as how a dev worth his salt will be making at least double that, I don't have an answer for you as to why you ended up without any savings after working at a software development job.

I think there are some differences here:

Google are trying to keep existing users happy with the "try anyway" link. This is a new business, and they have decided they don't want to support IE.

At worst, this annoys die-hard IE users, but they're not your customers anyway.

The danger of adding a try anyway link is that people will click it, then still call and complain that your site doesn't work even if you place a huge disclaimer telling them IE is unsupported.

Finally, your website may do things that not only break in IE, but can cause your users to lose data when it does break. Yes, standard backups, never deleting data rules apply. But there is time spent either recovering, or explaining to users why you won't recover data for them.
I'm probably the strongest coder at my startup and I agree that it can feel lonely when you have a hard issue and you know that nobody is going to help you.

Sadly a lot of folks are still stuck with Internet explorer. I still make it to a point to make my web app work at least in IE8 and above and make it seamless as possible.

What I would do is that I'd give users with old browsers a plain version of the site. E.g. No transitions, animations, etc.

Supporting Internet explorer is a pain in the back, but a good developer and designer will do his best to provide availability. That's what I learned so far in the past 6 months.
Give users some freedom of expression (but not too much) to boost interaction.
This could be a good push for interoperability, but it is more likely to end up being another vector for inadvertent data disclosure as the majority of people just click "Yes" when asked for permission.
This has always been my argument. A hell of a lot of very popular sites (eg tube sites and of course all the many very popular WP blogs) are written in php. It gets the job done just as easily as other languages. Just not as elegant.

I run my own network of sites, and almost all webmasters I also work with all know the ins and outs of php. Its just quicker and more efficient to code in php. But on here and a few other sites php gets a lot of flak. If i'm ever asked how to get started in programming I'd always recommend php (or maybe JS) because it is very simple and there are so many resources for it.
The web, like anything, has costs and benefits. A big benefit is that you and develop and deploy an app once, centrally, and anyone can access it from anywhere, on any sort of web device. The cost of that is that you can't control how they're accessing it. To have the benefit, you have to accept the cost.

By shirking the cost of providing even some level of support for IE, you're ditching the benefits afforded to the part-time copywriter who needs to stay at her desk and work her lunch hour during the office job she keeps to make ends meet. You're ditching the benefits afforded to the business owner on the road whose laptop won't join the hotel wifi and has to use the hotel's "business center" to issue the invoice needed to meet his mortgage payment. You're ditching the benefit of a happy customer evangelising the product to a colleague, and wanting to give them a quick demo by logging in on whichever laptop is currently hooked up to the meeting-room projector.

The times when a user doesn't have control over their environment are the times when they need a product to come through for them the most. Especially when that product is their means of getting paid.

Not being able to offer "amazing things with canvas" to IE (or any browser) is okay. Not offering support to be able to log in and perform a set of basic key tasks from any browser whatsoever is, to my mind, throwing away one of the biggest benefits the web can offer as a platform.

You could just indicate when you're going to be home and they can drive by at that time.

In Japan, all the delivery services let you indicate a precise 2-hour window when you want the delivery. With automated drivers, this could be feasible in the U.S. as well.
The combinations of web intents and Google's GDrive implementation / Dropbox seem interesting. I could link a file with a web intent, you use your Chrome App or similar to edit it, save it back to your Dropbox / drive - then your editor makes you another link which you can share with others to start the process over again.

When you think about it this seems to align well with the original philosophies of the web. Exciting times.

The key is that it decouples the services, we won't have to wait for service x to implement the api of service y. Instead you just say implement this intent and then boom you can use any service that supports that intent.

This is huge for web apps, and is a huge blow for local file system fans.
If you use a lock, then only one thread can enter the locked region at the same time.

If you use a sufficiently advanced STM, and have an atomic region, then two threads can enter the same region, as long as they don't use each other's memory. You may think, why synchronise if they're not using each other's memory? Well it can be extremely hard to work out a priori if two threads are using the same memory or not. In fact for some problems, such as many graph problems, working out what memory they're going to use is the same problem as the problem that you're trying to solve in the first place.

STM is like having a single lock for every single word in your memory, and then magically always acquiring every lock that you will need at the start of the transaction in a determinate order, so that you don't get deadlock.

If two threads enter an atomic region, but do access each other's memory, then the transaction is silently aborted and restarted. Ideally these aborts are rare and the program runs very much in parallel.

A more concrete example - in Java if you have a hash table you will usually lock during all reads and writes. If you used STM, and two writes accessed different buckets of the table, then there's no need to lock. The STM works this out for you.
From my experience neither is true.

> PHP is cheap to host

This used to be true in some respects. Free webhosts often offered PHP as the only scripting language but the offers were often severely limited in which extensions were available and in other respects. Deploying a moderately complex application often was work for a day [1] - which translates to at least two years of paid hosting on a decent hoster. Ruby on the contrary used to require specialized hosting or a dedicated server. With the rise of heroku, this point became moot.

> cheap to find decently priced & skilled programmers

The lesson I took from being technical lead for a 50+ dev team is that it's easy to find cheap php developers, but they often turn out to be Net Negative Programmers. Decent PHP programmers take decent salaries (just as decent ruby/python/java programmers) and - as every decent programmer - are quite well capable of picking up other languages in a short amount of time. If you're just doing "standard websites" cheap developers might be just what you need though (you could go for cheap rails developers as well, they exist).

> quick to code in if you know what you’re doing

There were times when I considered myself a skilled php programmer, but compared to what I can churn out in ruby, php flat out looses. There are too many beartraps and tarpits that you can step in, borked php configurations or stupid bugs ruining your whole day [2].

This is not a background process but a way for a user to actively share data between web apps - it's a "push" action the user must instigate, not a "pull" from the third-party wanting access to the data. There is no more "inadvertent data disclosure" than when someone knowingly tweets a link to a file in their public dropbox, or uploads an image to Facebook.
