Here, let me help you with that ;-)

No tying arrangement can exist here unless there is a sufficient
demand for the purchase of cloud storage separate from a smartphone
OS to identify a distinct product market in which it is
efficient to offer cloud storage separately from the smartphone
OS. The fact that the exclusive contract requires purchase of
two services that would otherwise be purchased separately does not
make the contract illegal. Only if user are forced to purchase Apple's
services as a result of Apple's market power would the arrangement
have anticompetitive consequences. If no forcing is present, users
are free to purchase a competing smartphone and to use another
cloud storage provider instead of Apple.
I did this on twitter once with Mike Masnick of techdirt. He certainly didn't follow me, must have a search with his name setup. Of all the situations to raise the ire of someone even moderately internet famous it was possibly one of the most petty too - and his response was way more mature than my call...oops.
That doesn't explain the success of the expensive Android phones.
The missing lines at the bottom is a bug that got fixed just after this release. The next Secure Shell release won't have the issue.

And your browser size issue goes away if you open the terminal in its own window. Chrome even has an "Open as Window" option (right click on the Secure Shell icon) to open in a window with no browser UI.

I do most of my browsing on my iPhone (where honestly GitHub is so slow as to be unusable, even on an iPhone 4S). On my laptop (a 2010 11" MacBook Air) I use Chrome.

I find the experience of the first page load to be slow, and clicking links between different code views to be agonizing as it does some trendy-but-slow AJAX update with horizontal transition animation to the next page. I am not able to check right now (as I'm on my iPhone: left laptop at home), but I also remember the code browser getting tripped up of you want to do fast forward/back interactions: sometimes it would even just get wedged, but the core performance problem is simply that it doesn't take advantage of the browser's page cache and instead rebuilds the DOM in JavaScript and runs another useless animation every time you navigate. :(

Finally, if there is a folder with a lot of files in it (such as the definition files for Homebrew, which I'm occasionally in a position where I need something quickly verified or checked) you are pretty much screwed (and on MobileSafari I've had the browser run out of memory and simply crash).

The result is that it is infinitely easier to just check the code out and edit it locally (yes: even and especially so on an iPhone, where git itself works great). In addition to having clicking through the code be reasonably fast, you have much more powerful search operations available.

(edit:) Back at my laptop (aforementioned Air with Chrome), and to demonstrate part of the problem: go to the Formula folder for Homebrew, click any file, and then hit back. This takes multiple seconds to occur: hitting back is something that you are going to do constantly while browsing files, and is something that normally is instantaneous.

https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/tree/master/Library/Formula

The reason for this is that the mechanism GitHub is using to supposedly speed up browsing (and I take severe issue with this: the surrounding content and resources should entirely be in the request cache, and there is almost no dynamic content on the page, so there should be more intelligent ways of improving the performance for clicking forward that are server-side) totally ruins the page cache.

To be clear: the page cache is not the same as the request cache. The page cache is what is used when the user hits back or forward, and it stores all of the state associated with a rendered page. This way, when you click a link, you don't destroy all of that work, and when you hit back you get the previous contents as fast as possible.

http://www.webkit.org/blog/427/webkit-page-cache-i-the-basic...

(Note: this page states that pages that use HTTPS, such as apparently all of GitHub, are not able to be stored in the page cache. However, this was only true of WebKit, not Firefox's equivalent cache, and this was changed recently to bring the behavior in line: only if the page has Cache-Control: no-{store,cache} will the page be kept from the page cache.)

What the parent node said.
My first thought as well, this is simply a quiet decision to make it easier to comply with sealed warrants.
Even with parallel processing, assuming you can handle 1G of data per node per second (which is a fairly optimistic estimation for on disk data):

1G/node/sec * 100 nodes * 2 sec = 200G.

17TB is 85 times that number.
> reads/writes on a DB are often much faster which is why we use DB systems.

Not really. We use db's because file systems aren't ACID and we like to not lose data, and we like to be able to query data, and because we like multiple machines having access to that data. But the file system is generally much faster, especially when appending something like a log (yea, db's do that too, that's beside the point).

> but to think that writing small chunks of data to a file system is always faster than a DB is to misunderstand what DBs do and when and why they are useful.

I don't think so. Perhaps you can expand on that.
I'm surprised this is considered news and that it made the front page. Of course natural selection is still at work. Anyone who finds that surprising doesn't really understand evolution theory.

Is it Apple's right to do this?

Didn't IBM lose the case where they said you can only run IBM software on IBM 360s?

IANAL but it sure would be nice for someone that is to speak up on why many of these old cases don't apply.

Is it that it is legal, Apple just doesn't have to feature it in their store? Phone companies were forced to allow 3rd party phones on their network. So where/are mobile companies as far as I know. Car companies are require to honor car warranties even if you change out the car stereo AFAIK.

Is there some reason similar rules don't apply to Apple (and Nintendo, and Sony, and Microsoft)?
Wow, that's rather messed up -- and they're allowed to do something like that?
Now I'm curious what jokes have punch lines that are git commands...
Database is a pretty broad term these days. Doesn't this depend on the database we're talking about?

Something like Big Table is pretty good at storing small blobs. It's also pretty good at scaling, so you should never really have to delete "usage statistics, metrics, GPS locations, session data" or anything really.

Regarding logs, I completely agree. Something like tornado + scribe + s3 works quite well. (check out https://github.com/gregbayer/logcatcher) But then EMR + Scribe can be used to access it like a db.
What Apple is doing seems to be completely legal and completely disgusting (and not at all new). Given that there's no ground for legal action, here are a few things we, developers, can do:

1. Don't work for Apple. This one is really the easiest to implement, there's more then enough fine alternatives in the Valley.

2. Don't develop for Apple. Unfortunately, not really an option for most mobile developers. So, the next best thing is "don't develop just for Apple". Make sure that if your customers want to switch, your app is available on other platforms.

3. Don't buy from Apple. Again, not really an option for developers because of #2 (and that's also another example of walled garden - you have to have a Mac to develop for iOS).

One place where government regulation might be needed is to help create secondary market for apps. If I have many dollars worth of apps (or, say, books) and no way to sell them, this is obviously a big barrier to switch. I'd like to see a law requiring companies that sell digital goods to provide a way to transfer those goods to other users.

Advanced Attacks Call For New Defenses
Well I don't want to play professor here, but I don't think you understand the meaning of irony. The fact that you find fault with the implication that women aren't just as likely as men to pursue startups but then say that your girlfriend would do much better than yourself at them if "only she had the inkling to do one" is ironic.

You see, you resent the implication that women don't do startups. Your girlfriend doesn't do startups and doesn't have the inclination to do them. You are using her as an example (albeit a poor one) of why that implication is false.

Can you provide an example search that demonstrates this?

If Wikipedia had full-text search, with a results page that looked like Google, and it was as fast as Google, would you use it?

Consider that Wikipedia is not, AFAIK, collecting your search data to serve you advertisements.

I have found that there's very few Wikipedia pages I can't pull up with a Wikipedia "search" that I could only get with a Google search.

e.g.

[your browser] http://www.google.com/search?q=search_term

I forgot an important technique that is somewhere between numeric differentiation and automatic differentiation:

(4) Complex-step differentiation
http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.141....

The technique is clever: they add an finite difference along the imaginary axis, and this turns out to give a more accurate derivative than normal forward differences.

We don't support this in Ceres and suggest autodiff instead.

To take it to the antitrust level may require confounding variables. Whatever Apple's status is when it comes to a monopoly, they already have enough meaning in DoJ's eye that they currently have an antitrust case against them.

I suspect it would take only a few small additional variables to trigger an anti-trust issue when it comes to forcing payment forcing. What those could be, I don't know. Agreements involving a payment processor? The point is its a small step away. What they are doing now is extremely anti competitive and it would not require much to push things over the edge.

The original post indicates that a link in an app had another link in it for something that users could initiate a purchase through. What would happen if Google forced all indexed sites to go through Google Checkout and on non-compliance wiped all references and sites that linked to other payment processors from their search results? That wouldn't fly. Is the only difference that this is Apple's App Store and Apple is not a monopoly?

Storing images in your database is a fantastic idea. You then add in a mod_rewrite rule which checks for the existence of an image in the requested size (with some accepted size format like original_filename500x200.jpg) and if it doesn't, produces and caches that size. Best of both worlds.

The "size of database backups" point has been countered several times on this page effectively so I won't bother but in terms of scaling your app, restoring backups, managing versioned backups, moving your app around and a whole host of other management and maintenance related tasks, being able to completely blow away your cache of image files and have them rebuild on demand is tremendously useful.

Also on the point of "storing thumbnails" this assumes that your thumbnail size requirements never change over time. Using the approach of storing the source image in a database and caching the files on demand means you can change your design and all you need to do is change the size parameters in your URLs, bam, new image thumbnail sizes.
Speaking as somebody who enjoys intentionally mocking others (go ahead, check my comment history. Fuck, I picked this username just to make the then-popular diet discussions on HN more interesting), if he's honestly not trying it (and I have a hard time believing that, he is as far as I can tell a reasonably intelligent person and should be able to analysis himself objectively) then he is damn good at doing it by accident. Damn good.

I only wish I could convey such attitude through text intentionally.

EDIT (posted after jacobolus' reply):

When I first came here, I was annoyed at the entire HN attitude of "a better discussion board". Good clean discussion is great, but at the time it seemed too dismissive of the great conversation that happens elsewhere on the web; too arrogant if you will. Furthermore, I saw that attitude as a sort of challenge: could I game the system and be just helpful enough some of the time to allow myself to be an utter asshole the rest of the time without getting banned?

You see, somebody who is an asshole some of the time and useful the rest of the time is not a valuable community member. Even if most of the time is spent being useful that is still not a person that you want in your community; in short, the karma system is broken. Of course HN isn't quite as broken as a pure karma system would be, hellbanning still kicks in for people with positive karma, but it is broken nevertheless. It's pretty easy to keep individual comments at positive or at least neutral karma by picking your topic correctly, which gets you around (to my knowledge) all but manual banning. (I suspect an improved banning system would involve flagging people for manual inspection after they have too many comments with large amounts of up and down voting. I can't speak for the false positive rate of such a system except to say that my honest productive comments rarely seemed to swing)

But I'm done now. tptacek does a better job of what I wanted to do than I think I ever could.

I think I'm past due on closing this account anyway. I'm out; apologies for any grief I've caused. I probably owe a good number of you a beer.
In bank street. You have dumped the money in bank street. yes.

The huge difference between Internet and the street- and by street i actually mean the safe of the bank, is the ease to steal from the Internet undetected.

Good luck stealing from the bank undetected. You see, they'd have to sneak in and still for example, 0.1cts from random accounts.

Easy electronically. Impossible physically.

The Internet is not nearly as well protected as the physical world AND it doesn't leave traces.

It's like making an analogy to everything + cars. It just doesn't make any sense. Sorry.
In my mind, Apple has always had the objective of trying to maximize purchases and forcing users who start to upgrade as often as possible. Everything else is secondary.

I think it's business model. Because of the incentives (branding, revenue streams, etc.) an android handset maker makes its money when the phone is sold, and ceases to care. Because the phone is branded "Verizon" first, "Android" second, and "HTC" (say) third they don't care about the user once the phone is sold. Arguably, Verizon and Google should care more, but Verizon clearly doesn't and Google has too little influence. In essence it's a tragedy of the commons where the commons is Android (as a platform/brand).

If your idea of waking up, fixing it and getting it right is to lock down Android as tight as Amazon and iOS did with their platforms for the sake of competing with the iPad then I'd rather Google just give up and leave it broke.
Wow, this really freaked me out when I saw this. I've just spent several months working on an app, which I hope to release soon, of which Dropbox support is a major feature. If they didn't allow my app on the app store because of this I'd have to seriously cripple the functionality of my app to get it accepted.

Sure, there's iCloud, but it's only about 50% there - all the support is there on iOS but there's no generic way to get at your iCloud documents from a PC or Mac in the same way you can with Dropbox and similar services. I'd be happy to support iCloud if it did this but it's simply not there yet.

Dropbox is a hugely important thing for iOS apps, since the iPad provides no generic user-accessible file system. Dropbox is by far the most convenient way I've seen for syncing data between the iPad and your computer, and I think Apple would be foolish to prevent people from doing this because it would make using an iPad for content creation-type work very inconvenient.

Fortunately from reading about this it sounds like the issue can be resolved by changing the way the account authorisation step works. Dropbox have already released an updated SDK and I've just downloaded this to try it out.

> rather than the EAV monstrosity you proposed. :)

I would really like to know what is monstrous in the "Entity–attribute–value" model, I scanned the Wikipedia article without finding any obvious problems.

I had, however, many many problems with separate columns for each values: I have to handle tables with over 600 columns, for example "fixed_phone", "fixed_phone_modified", "fixed_phone_modified_by", "cell_phone", "cell_phone_modified", "cell_phone_modified_by", etc. With an EAV variant, I'll have "entity", "attribute", "value", "modified", "modified_by", "deleted", and it will be much cleaner, or prove me wrong.
