Oh well, without all those projects IIT is not just IIT. There is no lack of projects at IITs. It is the passion and research attitude that is lacking. Most (not all) students involve and finish those projects, essentially to get their CVs pretty. In my BTP presentations half of the Physics Panel sleeps in the presentations! The way of teaching is so narrow, it is about exams, CGP. The professor's towards teaching is so materialistic. There are exceptions. We have only 3 professors who makes subject exciting of around 30 professors.
Well, it's a "confusopoly", but you can reckon to pay about $80 / month for two years, plus an initial $100 - $200, for one single top of the line phone, such as an iPhone 4S.

Over two years, this amortizes the phone cost, and if you keep paying, it's basically just extra gravy for ATT.
This is so cool! Thanks for posting. I've always been a fan of LLVM, this just shows its amazing potential, in my opinion.
It seems like it would have been an odd decision to keep the iPod locked to the mac. Either they assumed that it would stay a niche product that would only appeal to apple fans and gadget freaks. Or they really thought that people would throw out their PCs and get Macs just to use the MP3 player. Bear in mind that this was the time before Intel Macs , so getting one instead of a PC would greatly restrict your software choices.
I can not agree with recommending ARC to anyone at this time; in this case there is a ton of existing code out there which is incompatible with it. If you are an experienced obj-c developer who's tired of writing boilerplate and uses the static analyzer with LLVM - then go for it.

Learning to clean up after yourself is a life skill worth having. And besides, there's always the -fobjc-arc flag for classes which use it.

EDIT: Every project seems to include:
Reachability
SBJson
ASIHttp

Yes, that's quite true. Creating even what I would have thought to be a 'simple' example isn't as trivial as I have expected.
This article has nothing to do with net neutrality.
Stanford's course is excellent. If you're starting out, watch a lecture a day alongside any other reading / researching you do.

The nice thing about the Stanford course is that it covers a lot of ground, ranging from good code design, to all the major Cocoa components, to details about most of the important ios lifecycles.
I suggest you to do a search after iOS 5 on Amazon and check the comments before buying a book. I'd stay away from any of the Appress books on Objective-C, iOS, etc ... low quality of information and a lot of typos.

Personally I don't have a preferred source and I tend to use Apple's documentation or tutorials from websites like:

http://www.raywenderlich.com/

iOS is a moving target so it is difficult to find a good book on this.
And therein lies the problem, in WSGI

99% of web sites are hosted in "shared hosting" services

Now compare copying the .php files with configuring WSGI

"No, but WSGI is easy blah blah blah" it doesn't beat copying files And no, settings WSGI is not easy

Also, if you depend on IIS for example, PHP is almost plug'n'play

WSGI on Windows is the definition of "bag of hurt". You can try fastcgi to run on windows, and then you find out flup needs socket.fromfd

The easiest way, if it's your machine, run gunicorn or similar and just make Apache redirect the traffic.

But in shared services it's still way too complicated.
I would; I believe at google you would have a better opportunity to prove yourself to be a developer and not just a tester. Get there and make some waves..
Can someone please explain to me why running native code coming from a web site is a good idea?

Read the docs from Apple. Believe or not, they are the best resources for an experienced developer. Start with the Objective-C 2.0 book/entry. Then, go from there.

Of course, if you didn't say you were experienced, I'd have suggested that you start with the (what now must be like a) gazillion different apress/o'reilly books on the topic.

Good luck!

Another heads up. This poster has been spamming stupid math tricks for the last few months, often with multiple links to the same topic. A few weeks ago - probably after so many flags - the style switched from posting to the *tricks site to posting to an HN page, with the link forward to the real site as a comment. I assume so as to reduce the number of flaggings.
I'm interested in point 4: use SQL. Is there a way of doing a find that only returns the primary key value and then do a delete only based on this value without using SQL and only via Active Record?
I really hope this keeps being optional because otherwise a lot of the authentic value of the videos will be lost. Also, the demo they showed looked like it was algorithmically deteriorated to make the change more noticeable. There's shaky hands and then there's parkinsons-level shaking which was what the demo showed...
This has been my experience at Verizon stores as well. However, in my case, I asked the Verizon rep specifically about this, since I have heard friends tell me the same thing. He was quite candid. It is because Verizon's profit margins on iPhones is lower than on any other phone they sell. They can't brand it. They have no exclusive contract on it. They become nothing but a generic carrier to iPhone users.
This article ignores Nokia's large cash reserves (€9.8 billion). If windows 7 works then they likely have the cash to do it themselves. If it doesn't work then it's hard to know what the smart phone plan B is.

> Microsoft is already paying Nokia $1 billion a year to use its software on Lumia smartphones.

Is that number even remotely accurate? I couldn't find any sources that didn't discredit it. Wouldn't it be a matter of public record if true though?

Also disclaimer - I work for Nokia but have absolutely no knowledge about this topic beyond an obvious interest and a few google searches.
Thanks for the heads-up on ARC.

Not averse to managing memory :-)
I'm not entirely serious here..

But isn't this kind of running Gentoo on top of Ubuntu?

Having little experience with big deployments: Are people really preferring to build from source to have the latest and greatest? I noticed that I stopped wishing for that a long time ago, when management (and building!) of these packages just felt too much of a burden, compared to potentially slightly outdated binary packages.
I was two years out of school working on C# and WPF when I was tasked with writing an iOS app. My first steps to gain knowledge of the syntax/structure/etc of the language was to watch the Standford CS139p lectures (http://itunes.apple.com/itunes-u/ipad-iphone-application-dev...). I only had to watch the first six or so before I had a good knowledge of the language and the starting point of UIKit. From that point I just started brute forcing it.

Reading Apple's documentation was the fastest way for me to ramp up and they actually include a lot of really useful examples. Even lower level things like CoreGraphics have some in depth examples which will probably be what you need for your "Flipboard" like interactions.

Because I do so much iOS dev I have my own "library" I now use for every project. But it was cobbled together over a couple years and inspiration was taken from many open source projects.

I probably learned the most from Jeff Verkoeyen's GitHub projects, his Nimbus framework being one of the best https://github.com/jverkoey/nimbus

If you need to make web requests in your app (which basically every app should) ASIHTTPRequest is an interesting framework. https://github.com/pokeb/asi-http-request. I took the idea behind this and distilled it down to something that was much simpler which is what I needed. ASIHTTPRequest is sorta the kitchen sink of web request clients.

If you need a relational database in your app, sqlite is a simple include away. There are a lot of wrapper frameworks out there but I didn't use any of them. I wrote my first app directly accessing the C API and then wrote my own wrapper framework for it. Because I had never used SQLite before needed it in iOS it helped me learn a lot more about it.

If you need to store username/password/token/etc for the love of god don't make the novice mistake of saving to NSUserDefaults. Save to the Keychain https://github.com/reidmain/FDKeychain

One thing I'd point you to is my collection of Categories and Macros that I put into every project https://github.com/reidmain/Objective-C-Categories-and-Macro.... Specifically pay attention to FDIsNullOrEmpty, NSObject+PerformBlock, UIView+Layout. I use these categories so much that I always include them in my precompiled header file.

I hate straight ports of games that were clearly designed for a gamepad or a mouse/keyboard, the big shame is that there are so many of them when there must be so many untapped touch screen game paradigms out there.
This is why I am skeptical when people say that tablets are the future of gaming , either we would have to all re-evaluate the sorts of games we want to play (no more FPS, platformer etc) or we're going to have to start plugging extra peripherals in (at which point we have just re-invented games consoles).
I'm getting really, really tired of these landing pages that are clearly just a mindless attempt to use the lean methods without actually understanding the principles underlying them.

So no, I'm not going to give you my email address based on some content-free marketing buzzwordy line on a page devoid of any real information. FWIW, I might actually be exactly in your market, but I am so annoyed at landing on yet another email-harvesting-to-see-if-this-idea-might-fly page that there is no way I'm going to participate.

My actual reaction is stronger than I've written here, but I've toned it down.
That's a great analogy. It will be interesting to see if agile storytelling becomes as popular as agile development, and how both those approaches will have evolved in 10 (or 20) years time.
Imagine if you live in a university town, but it just gets redistricted to include a neighboring industrial town. The life expectancy of your town just dropped, drastically.

But does that change your life at all? No, your life is exactly the same as before.

Same with these stats. Just because people who have lower life expectancies move or happen to live near you, it doesn't change anything about your life.

If canada and the US merged, the average life expectancy of the new country would go up, but that number itself wouldn't change anyone's life.

It's the same with arbitrary county groupings. If you live in a county with lots of poor people, they will have a lower life expectancy. That doesn't mean anything about you, though. If the border was different, you might live in a county with lots of rich people.
I second the recommendation of the Big Nerd Ranch guides. They are excellent for learning Objective-C and IOS.

I've been playing around with Ruby Motion for the past two days and since I am pretty experienced with Ruby already, I'm finding it helpful for learning ios concepts. However, if you don't have any experience with Ruby I would recommend just starting with Objective-C and xcode.

life expectancy at 80 is probably 5 years or so. So having a bunch of 80 year olds move to your county will probably increase it. Similarly, having successful, rich and long-lived people move out of your country at age 80, a few years before dying, will mean they don't increase your country life expectancy at all, despite the fact that they lived there for 80 years.
Show HN: My first web app - Rankique - Save money & time, while shopping Online
iTunes first supported an Apple iPod and also first supported OS X in October of 2001.

A version of iTunes arrived on Windows 2000 and Windows XP in October of 2003; two years. (October 2003 also saw the announcement of Panther, 10.3.)

Prior to the availability of iTunes on Windows, MusicMatch Jukebox was commonly used with Windows, and that package was included with various iPod devices.

The general market acceptance of OS X didn't really get rolling until the Intel port, and that was announced during the 2005 WWDC. (I don't have that plot handy; that's from memory.)

Here's a plot of iPod sales, and note the sales trend and the years: http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/charting_apples_growt...

For more plots on sales of iPod and Mac devices (as well as iPad and iPhone), see the Asymco site. Here's one of the many available plots: http://www.asymco.com/2011/07/26/apple-has-moved-on/

And in a business, recognize too that Apple would have been foolish to constrain the potential sales of their then-new iPod product (and now iPhone and iPad) from the volume computing market, and that market was and remains Windows. And first with MusicMatch Jukebox and later with iTunes, they didn't. And they still don't. Their statements and their history of intentional self-cannibalization among their products points to this, too.

And in general, always question what your professors tell you. Always. That's part of what college is supposed to teach students, even if your individual professors don't or won't.
You have a single president, a federal senate, a federal army, a federal police, a powerful federal intelligence agency, and many institutions at the federal level.

This one sentence does an excellent job of summing up our failures as a nation over the last 236 years. One, gargantuan government can never hope to meet the vastly different needs of 300 million people living in highly diverse geographies, population densities, and climates.

So while the US should be treated like one country for all those reasons, those reasons should also be blamed for most of her failures.

If you need to include those files in your project, you can just turn ARC off for them while leaving it on for the rest.

AFAIK, the chrome user agent switcher extension only changes the agent on a JS level. You can't change what is being sent to the server due to limitations in the extension API.

This explains the Adsense warning because the server-side part of the framework used (gwt) is seeing a different user agent than what the client part is seeing.

Granted, UA sniffing is bad practice on either client or server side, but if you do it and send content tailored for browser A and then see that, strangely, the client is actually browser B, then you are probably allowed to be confused and complain (better than failing in strange ways).

Also knowing that, it's unlikely that something on the server side is causing these connection reset issues because, as I just said: the server still sees a chrome user agent and producing a connection reset error (RST packet) requires connection level involvement (server or somewhere in between, but never the client browser, minus bugs).

In general: be very careful what error messages you see: the Adsense error is different from the gmail error which in turn is (likely) different from the connection reset issue.

Overall there is too much conflicting information to attribute malice or even just intent to Google here.

If I were in that users position, I'd check my firewall and/or proxy configuration (and try disabling HTTP pipelining if it's active in Firefox - it's disabled by default for a reason) as the problem is much more likely somewhere over there.
You can disable ARC for some or all part of your program, so lib compatibility is not a problem.
This would seem to imply that non-US countries should show a decline in hats usage during/after kennedy's mandate (plus a couple years to spread movies).

I doubt this is the case: if you look at non US cinematography, hats had been strongly in decline already in movies from the 50s', and from a few mass events' pics I can google it seems hats were still common but not overwhelmingly so.

Even without this bug it's a stretch to think that Google would want to bury Firefox. Google has a vested interest in Firefox's success. That's why they pay Mozilla 300 million a year.

Of course, this assumes you are using Git in the first place, or are willing to learn it. Most folks already have FTP/ssh down pat, so git is a big jump from just copying files.

However, business sense prevailed, and Jobs realised that it made sense to open up the iPod world to Windows users.

Here's the Jobs quote from the biography:

"'Screw it,' he said at one meeting where they showed him the analysis. 'I'm sick of listening to you assholes. Go do whatever the hell you want.'"

I don't think Jobs should get any credit for the iTunes/Windows port. It's for the people that finally managed to wear Steve down and get the decision made.
10 Worst Sins in Business
Well I've lived here all of my life and in many different parts of the US. I've also lived for short periods abroad.

Let me address your points one by one:

1. Comparing us to Japan is really a poor choice. Japan is a highly uniform society and very xenophobic. They have an almost uniform cultural, religious, and genetic makeup.

2. We don't have a single language, a single president, a federal police, or any of the other things you are mentioning in the same manner of which you think of them in your country. The authority of those particular institutions is VERY limited in some very crucial ways. We are more like a strong union of 50 separate states, each with its own government (and president, called a governor here) with its own particular political challenges. There have been SEVERAL fights between the state and federal government over things like national policy and states rights that run counter to your argument. For example, Arizona is fighting with the federal government over immigration enforcement. California is fighting with the federal government over marijuana. Nevada fights with the federal government over online gambling. etc etc etc. During the civil rights era, some southern states mounted what almost became an armed rebellion against the federal government.

We also dont have a single language. LARGE parts of this country speak ONLY Spanish, or ONLY Haitian, or ONLY Russian. There is no requirement for someone living here to speak English and it's been a HUGE problem politically in places like California, Texas, and Florida. In California and Washington State, there are large Chinese and Japanese populations that only speak their mother tongue.

Furthermore, the country itself is changing constantly. Dearborn, Michigan is home to the largest concentration of Muslims in the USA, and that is having an interesting effect on the political and social dynamic of what was once a very very white/european part of the country.

It's easy here to understand how we can identify a Southerner or a Californian by their manner, diet, and dialect. I feel like the rest of the world is often confused by the idea that the USA acts and thinks alike as a uniform country. We're not.
That's all good advice, but I'd like to point out that ASIHTTPRequest has been abandoned for about a year now. I think most people have switched to using AFNetworking (https://github.com/AFNetworking/AFNetworking) which came out of Gowalla.

As a nice bonus, AFNetworking doesn't require you to implement delegates but instead allows you to use blocks, which simplifies things somewhat.
If you no longer want to be a tester, why would you take a new job as a tester? Apply for jobs that you want. Do not take a job with the hopes that someday, maybe, if everything works out, you can move to the job you want.

Maybe the teams themselves are a difference as well. Not to sound like I'm putting you down (you got enough of that from the judges), but these days when everyone is talking about "investing in great teams, not ideas" and talent acquisitions are some of the most profitable exits for startups and their investors, it could be that BOTH of your ideas really do suck, but someone figured out that SendHub has a $2 million team working on it.
