It wasn't at all overnight, I do believe that's Joel's point with the title. It might be a point that's lost on cargo culters building the next dozen photo apps, but it's what happened with Instagram.
Data Diving (Unreleased clinical trial data and its implications)
Only in case of Git it is intentional. This is how its creator jokingly describes himself.
It seems like NVidia has much less of an advantage in GPGPU in the most recent generation of graphics, with AMD backing off from VLIW with their new graphics cores, and NVidia shifting their balance of scheduling/compute to something that favors graphics more than GPGPU.
It comes down to task bandwidth and specialists are often dead weight and bottlenecks except when they're not, but that's not often. Stay diverse. Stay dangerous.

Good point. The whole reason we have patent law in the first place is to promote the progress of science. Patents still have a role in some industries where inventing is expensive and cloning is cheap (e.g. pharmaceuticals). But on the web we don't need them. They do more harm than good. I've thought for a while that patent examiners should take into account the investment made by the inventor, giving greater weight to inventions that take a lot of time & money and less weight to inventions that were trivially easy to hack together.

Strong disagreement on that second point: with high-level languages it's in some ways more important to know algorithms and data structures as you don't have a compiler hiding inefficiency as well (there are many inefficient C programs which just haven't had enough data to matter). The answer is usually “Use the standard library implementations” but knowing which one fits your problem is an extremely helpful skill.

This goes double for anyone writing SQL queries: ORMs are great at hiding complexity until you need to write a report and are back to big-O.

Indeed, and actually, I like it (and I'm not one prone to like Android handset design). Especially in that shot with the three generations side by side. The first two mimic an iPhone 3G and an iPhone 4, and it shows, while the SIII really stands on its own (that's coming from someone who downright LOVES the iPhone 4 design). I wish they would have let go the metal on the side and went for a bit straighter lines on the long sides to make it feel more balanced, but really, it's fine.

I wish it would actually contained any concrete reasons. That might be highly interesting.
Right. If you build a game app, name it "Words Play" and your marketing strategy is to hope that people find it, you're playing the lottery - and losing.

I have two apps and a third about to launch. One has kind of flopped so far - too wide a niche and it hasn't gotten on any external review sites yet. But the other floats between 500-1000th place in revenue in its category - one of the smaller categories. That's on track to bring in roughly $10,000 a year. Not bad for a first app that would take me a week or two to build now. That's not winning a lottery, but it's a business - a small business.

If you want to run a small business - on the web or in the app store, you need to target a narrow niche. It has to be narrow enough that there's not much well-established competition. It has to be wide enough that there's a profitable market. Then it has to be a market that's willing to spend money. It's not easy to identify those niches, but if you don't even try, you end up throwing out apps and hoping something happens. A class like Ed Dale's Challenge (free) is a big help in identifying niches and testing those markets: http://www.challenge.co/

It does not surprise me in the slightest that the AT&T CEO spends his nights lying awake regretting that he could have screwed his customers even harder.

Can imagine him holding back sobs as he considers how he might even have held back the future for 2, 3 more years and squeezed a few more dollars out of 10000% markups on SMS, charging by the kilobyte for data and restricting access to only approved apps/websites. Poor guy, you can tell it's going to haunt him.

Sure, that's true. However, the reader could probably judge this reasonably well, a one-time occurrence could be dismissed as a bad mood, but consistent behaviour like this would disincentivize dickish behaviour in people...
My first app has been in the top 1000 of its category most of the time. Never made it to the top 200 yet (been to 203 and 205 - argh). That's with zero marketing budget, no external reviews (yet), and just keyword matches and the occasional social media hit. It's kind of blind luck on my part, but having an app that sits in an underserved niche is key. Getting good keywords was a big boost.

Google Play has been a waste for me. I even launched a free ad-supported version of the same app there and it gets less downloads a day than I sell on iOS or Nook. Yes - more people buy the same app on Nook than download it for free from Google Play. That shows how broken discovery is on Google Play. Well that and how small the Nook store inventory is.
I'm a big SciFi fan and love Charles's work. I'm sure he knows more about the industry than I do, but from my own personal experience I much prefer the discovery process of SciFi books with eBooks than with pBooks.

In an ideal world, bookstores would have their shelves well stocked with a deep assortment of titles. Unfortunately, most bookstores carry a thin selection of good SciFi books. They have some of the latest books from well known authors, but rarely did they have some of their earlier titles. And worse yet if the book was part of a series, you would see the latest one or two books but never any of the previous ones.

So for example, they might carry Stross' "Rule 34" but not his earlier (and great) "Halting State" and "Accelerando". So what's a SciFi fan to do? Track them down in a used bookstore. I only get to visit Powell's once a year when I visit my parents. Back order them?

Now with my Kindle, it's much easier. Grab a sample for free. Peruse a couple of chapters and if I like it, buy it and have it in my hands in a minute. DRM or no, it's a much more pleasant experience and I get to read a lot of better books.
Why would you print code in this day and age?
Only 5% of all android devices out there have ICS (http://developer.android.com/resources/dashboard/platform-ve...). Even if you are correct that ICS has no fluidity issues at all, that means 95% of android devices out there have these issues.

Ah! that's awesome, I've been thinking about this idea for years. I'm so glad that this is being worked on.
Leaving the gender-stereotypes, etc. etc. aspect of it aside, git is quite literally "my daddy's version control." I used to work for my family (writing software) and one of the last things I did a few months before leaving was get the entire company onto Git from our "existing" "version control system." He completely loves it! And he internalised something quickly that I still see in this very thread - Git makes it harder, not easier, to screw things up and lose changes.
>Those market shares - both among the general population and among developers, which are themselves very different - are completely irrelevant. The share that matters here is mostly among "developers using NoScript". I wouldn't be surprised in the least to know that Linux has that share.

I thought he was making the general case, why a Mac picture at all as a choice, not why show a Mac specifically for the noscript.

If he means the latter, then, well, it doesn't matter at all. It's not like more than 0.1% of people visiting the page will see the noscript version --and it's not like anywhere should even care about what they will see.
In this specific case, it's hard to imagine an average layperson being able to grasp such concepts after a reasonable amount of instruction by experts and the judge.

Let's use the Java interface construct as an example. It's expressed as code, but is it really just code? Isn't it really a spec other classes must implement in order to become valid Java code, expressed in code for the benefit of the compiler?

I consider my own unit tests as part of the documentation of the systems I deliver. There is little question as to whether the doctests are documentation, but testing them makes them execute. What are they then?

What if my code, during startup, reads UML files and compiles them to behavior that becomes part of the system during execution?

And my analogy works both ways - the opinion of a dozen theoretical physicists on birdseeds is equally relevant.
I'll be equally brutally honest here: as a software professional, craftsman, hacker, or even hobbyist, there is a minimum amount of intellectual effort required for mastery of your toolkit.

IMHO, the single most valuable asset of a creative mind is curiosity.

Your app name should be something like "Invy - pick a date with friends and family" instead of just "Invy". Makes it much easier for people to see at a glance what it is, especially from screens with lists of apps. I think it also gives you a little SEO boost in the app store for those keywords.

I love the use of the white iPhones in the screenshots. That matches the design well and stands out from all the screenshots with black iPhones.
These are actually very good odds

"risk" is actually probability x payoff (for one event like a bet on throwing a dice) If it's bigger than 1, congratulations.

In this case you would have something like Integral(payoff x probability,dprobability,0,1) (sorry about this syntax)

For a real probability distribution, this means you have a 40% chance of breaking-off or do better

The second issue is that your risk is (very) limited. It's cost of equipment + dev licence + cost of your time + 3rd parties

It's not like the risk of cutting the wrong wire in a bomb about to go off.

Most of the risk, I assure from experience, is not getting to the store in the first place. That is, not finishing the product, or coming up with something bad
There's also a number of problems in it that look like escaping issues. I'm not sure whether it's worth noting them down individually or whether it's a higher-level problem with what they use to generate it (both html and pdf version have problems).
At the very least it seems to replace HTML with XHTML. ;)

I've a rule to let my kids question anything once - they must provide a rationale if they wish to reverse my decision. However, it does sometimes come down to a simple exertion of authority (ie because I say so trumps the unsupported objections). I find now that J at 6 can usually answer my side and rationalise why an a priori arbitrary demand is being made.

Surely any teacher could readily answer a challenge like 'why not 3 paragraphs?' and this is a valid and worthy question for a student.

Unfortunately at some point the student will have to accept irrational or limited reasoning and learn to live with that, eg why does the law require me to learn that.
He is just selling himself, conning the audience – even having fun while at it, self ironically quoting Douglas Adams. There is no truth to it – this is what the whole essay is about. It is BS and BD – there is no BS like HBS, as they say.

That's just great. The world's most successful entrepeneur used to be a AOL%#$r script kiddie.

Kidding aside, nice tl;dr; summary of his success. I still believe U$ 1 billion for a startup was a bit too much to pay, kind of hard to understand for mere mortals like myself who also tinkered with Gorillas.BAS in QBasic but actually never kicked anyone off AOL using Visual Basic!
My comment was not meant to mock the author. I truly believe, though, that writing syntactically and grammatically correct and comprehensible English is a very important skill every programmer should have. Code comments and documentation are an important part of our craft.
The idea that creating "amazing sites" requires nothing but programming skill and dexterity is just wrong. There is so much that goes into creating an amazing site, and many would argue that "programming" is the least of it. I'm not suggesting programming is unimportant; I'm just pointing out that it is just one piece of many. And besides - the term "programming" is sort of being thrown about along with HTML and CSS. I don't really consider writing HTML or CSS to really be "programming" so I'd just sort of beware of some of the advice you're given. Are they important? Of course. But that's just one aspect of a site, just as "programming" might be just one part of "site development".

I wish I had links to share or book suggestions to provide but I don't really know of any that walk you through every aspect. I can just rattle a few ideas out and you can take away (or ignore) as you wish:

User experience
SQL programming
SQL administration
Front end design
Front end image creation
Front end coding (HTML, CSS, and wiring up lang./frameworks used)
Middle tier coding

I think tzaman is about right with the 3-5 years estimation for most people. There are a few folks who can do this in 2-4 years too and even fewer would could do it in a year.
"Related: I wince every time someone says it's the FBI's job to catch criminals, and we should make it easier for them to do so. No, it's not their job to catch criminals, period. Their job is to catch criminals while protecting everybody's fundamental human rights. It's part of their job description, part of their raison d'etre, and yes, it's a tough job. If you can't accept a tough job, you don't deserve a badge."

That may be what we wish, but I wonder how often each of the following to phrases are heard within FBI evaluations:

- That's some great police work there, Lou.

- That's some great civil liberties protection there, Lou.

That which gets measured gets done.
"I'd like the story on (1) elaborated a bit more."

I would like more detail in that anecdote as well. Anecdotes can be powerful teaching aids if there is enough information about the people in the anecdote and the situation.

I'd imagine that the writer's arguing back and proof that the manager was wrong made the manager look bad in front of other people. Corrections of fact might be better in private. I'm just guessing though.
10 useful libraries for JavaScript developers
I don't buy it. Tags can work, tags can be very helpful, but they're time and effort consuming to get right. Personally, I hate with passion systems where I can't search by multiple tags (tag1 + tag2, or tag1 - tag2). Frequently, it degenerates into a situation where a single tag is assigned to zillions of content and you have to review it all manually anyway. And if you leave tag creation completely open, you'll and up with tags "dragon", "dragons", "one dragon", "two dragons", "half a dragon","dragoon", "fire breathing lizard", used inconsistently of course.

I also don't buy the idea that everyone is going to use a tagging system. Not everyone understands the benefits or cares about them. Never underestimate inertia.
At first I thought we managed to make such amazing hires because we were good at hiring. We weren't; we sucked at hiring, but we're learning and trying to improve.

Then I thought we managed to get such amazing people because we were lucky. That explained some of it, but nowhere near all of it.

Now I realize that great people are attracted by something they can believe in.
It's not that I didn't get what you are saying, it's
that I disagree with you that the outcome is set in stone.

It's a given that governments, backed by eternally backwards industries,
will try to attack innovative new technologies or business models
like Kickstarter that could threaten those industries. And
they will use ridiculous edge cases or contrived, hypothetical
threats to argue against them, and maybe achieve temporary
victories in the form of stupid laws.

And as I said, it will be futile. Innovation, in the end, will
win. Progress will eradicate those opposed to it, and reward the
ones who embrace it. Just like free sharing of information, art and
culture will eventually be accepted as one of the greatest
technological advancements in human history, and we'll deeply
regret the decades wasted fighting against it.
Erik Naggum's XML Rant from 2002: Disturbingly prescient
Apps, even those that make very little profit, are great until you factor in customer service. I spend far more time than I'd like answering the same questions over and over again, even though I post several of those answers in the app description and on the website. Sure, I could do a better job of this, but most of my customers don't take the time to read the FAQ and go straight to the customer service email.

I can only imagine how many emails arrive for those with apps selling more than a few hundred/day.
