The differentiator is the console-based development flow and the REPL, which is not an afterthought but a prime feature.

The REPL is basically your debugger.

Also, while the Ruby stdlib is not running on rubymotion, I see a chance for sharing Code between rubymotion/ruboto environments (ruboto is Jruby for Android).

Because Google only provides updates for certain builds (jakju), other builds (jakjuxw for example) needs to be tested by carriers in other countries (or some such) and the last stamp of approval comes from Samsung IIRC. If you flash the phone with factory build jakju you get updates from google when they're released otherwise there is 1-1.5 months wait for updates

Mobile Application Development Company
Mobile App Development Company providing Custom Mobile Apps Development services in iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows Mobile Phone, BlackBerry and Symbian.
Seems like a pretty useful service... Why are you surprised they are still around?
I don't see why it should be open-source only. They're selling you a copy of an app ahead of time, that's all. You're not buying shares in the company, or getting control over how things work. You're buying a product before it's produced, so that they can take that cash and use it to pay for the up-front costs. Mistaking your relationship for anything more than that is asking for disappointment.
Nope, was just a joke. Just a happy simple little joke.
For those not in London - they really shelled out some money yesterday for the presentation (the public parts were also streamed live) - London Metropolitan Orchestra playing, big stage etc.

A few more things were mentioned there (not included in the linked article):

Eye-movement recognition: It does not lock the phone while you're still looking at it.

Besides the Siri like voice recognition also something that - by use of motion detection - e.g. you move the phone towards your ear - initiates a phone call.

A similar to the Blackberry introduced burst-shot feature that lets you select the best head shot(s) within a series of portrait pictures (recognizes multiple heads/faces in the picture)

Some more advanced uses via DLNA / AllSharePlay and a new AllShare SDK.

Bluetooth 4.0, USB supports MHL -> can be used as a HDMI port

Flipboard pre-installed, Dropbox integration (free 50GB for 2 years)

... then allocating the programmers they have to sifting through a completely open "jobs" mailbox is still probably not a good idea.

For the level of programmer competence we're talking about here, that hasn't happened yet.
Think I would qualify his key takeaway somewhat:

"Are there any lessons to be learned from this? For one, if you work at a company where everyone wants to use a competitor's product instead of its own, be very worried."

This is because companies sometimes (maybe often?) ban the use of competitor products to their detriment.

There are a number of apps available for iOS for music creation, ranging in complexity from simple synths and virtual drum kits, to quite accomplished sequencers/DAWs (Apple's own garageband is a perfect example). If i remember rightly Damon Alban created the newest Gorillaz album entirely on the ipad [1]

Note: I don't own an ipad, i just lust after all the cool music apps. I wish people would get started creating equivalent apps for android tabs (though i understand there were historical issues with the audio API in android, which i believe were rectified as of ICS)

supply vs demand my friend.

Anyone can hit rocks in a mine. It might be hard and stressful work, but anyone can do it.

Not anyone can make decisions and lead an entire group of people.
This problem can also be solved with SQL. An after trigger on the table and an indexed computed column would all work. If you're using Postgres probably just a regular INSERT with a call to curval.

This seems like an awful lot of work to avoid a stored proc / trigger, computed columns, or custom INSERT statement. Even in MySQL a stored proc would work, or two INSERT statements in a transaction.

Americans Elect canceling caucuses, has no candidates
As someone who uses ruby for the sheer joy of it (and finds ObjC a bit clunky), I want to be more excited about this. I am just not seeing the benefit yet.

Ruby syntax is nice, not having autocomplete available is a problem, especially since a good deal of time is spent figuring out the appropriate calls to underlying libraries. Maybe this will be remedied in future releases.

I tend to like command line / REPL interactive development... but does this really add any significant benefit when making iPhone Apps? I would imagine if you have a lot of calculations or String manipulations involving non GUI/device interaction this could be handy. But every actual test of code is going to involve running rake and the emulator, which is not an advancement from running make (by clicking a button in XCode) and the emulator.

Finally, what about running an interactive debugger or memory management tools? XCode/ObjC has a number of benefits that eliminate some of the need to be intimately acquainted with some of the underlying painful details. There is not a lot of appear in trying to write an App in Ruby, backing out and rewriting it in ObjC/XCode, and then porting it to Ruby.

Still, it was just released. Perhaps improvements in these areas will be forthcoming in the future...

I find this was a very interesting announcement. Almost the whole presentation was about software, services and addons.

Samsung did not talk much about the hardware, and not once used the term "Android" during the whole presentation.

This is how I want smartphone providers to make their android-based devices: Either use just AOSP and focus on supporting that well (updates), or make a very unique and improved experience for your customers.

Adding differences "just to be somehow different" will only make your phone worse.
I don't care much about the gesture stuff, but what they do with the face detection API that came with Android 4 is very interesting.

The idea that the screen will not go black as long as I look at it solves one of the most annoying problems I have when using computers. E.g. you think for a few seconds about what you just read on your smartphone, and when you're back you have to turn on the screen again. So annoying.

There are also a lot of little nice touches to the ui, like this one:

"Pick up the phone when you've got a missed call or text and it will vibrate gently in your hand in combination with the notification light to let you know you're a popular bunny."

Or that you can hold the phone to your ear while you're texting someone and it will call the person you're texting.

Or that you can select a person in the camera and the focus will stay on that person.

Or that you can burst 10 photos with one shot and then have the phone automatically recommend the best picture to you.
The wireless charger and the HDMI dongle are also very nice.
Well that was quick ;)

In principle really like the idea of something like this- especially in the context of an app like yours where you're targeting long-document writers.

How's it feel to use in practice? I kind of liked the suggestion elsewhere here about needing 2 fingers to do the scrolling to prevent the cursor from accidentally running away.

It's been well known in HR for a long time that money is just a 'hygienic' factor. Pay your employees too little and they'll be bitter, but paying them too much doesn't make them more motivated or more loyal in the absence of other positives.

You pay them enough, and then make sure they have rewarding work, a supportive environment and a boss who understands and empowers them. Money is just the start
It seems like a nice idea. But I use other Google services like GMail, Google Docs, Google Maps, etc. If I switched to duckduckgo but still used the other Google products I'd feel wrong about it. There aint no such thing as a free lunch.

Now if their search results got so bad that other alternatives were clearly superior, that's different. They have an obligation to provide a good service to us the customers too, but we're not there yet. For me.
> Oh really? How many successful entrepreneurs have you heard of without ideas, just totally empty heads and whole bunch of hustle?

This is because we are going about it backwards. A successful entrepreneur obviously became successful by executing on some idea. That says little about what came first: the desire to strike out on their own or the flash of an idea. My guess is that there is a fair percentage of both these cases plus the third case where someone was forced into being an entrepreneur (I put Google in that category).

So yes, ideas matter but when used as a criteria to decide whether to startup or not, they are an artificial barrier.

The problem exists in the newer version. If anything, the developers created a problem where none existed, not him. They traded consistency for simplicity without a clear mention of the possible race conditions.

> There is virtually nothing in the 4S that hasn't been done elsewhere

Siri, first BT4/LE device, wireless mirroring, iMessage, double antennas, no one had those. On top of that, hardware evolved (just like the S3) and was best in class. Apple is always just slightly ahead (sometimes behind) in the tech specs, and that is enough to make astounding success. Hardware alone doesn't sell anymore.

You can also come up with your own words to replace those of the English language, while continuing to use the same grammar, but that won't be English anymore, with the proof being that nobody will understand what you're saying.

This is exactly what a standard API provides for a language ... the standard vocabulary of that language, without which that language is no longer the same language. The distinction itself between the standard API and Java the language simply does not exist and never in Java's history was the API pushed out of context when Sun/Oracle referred to Java ... quite the contrary, to pass the TCK and be able to use the "Java" trademark, then you have to implement those APIs.

I invite you to watch the presentation of Guy Steele (one of Java's designers) on "Growing a Language" ... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8860158196198824415

they refuse to accept that Google is the bad apple here

The lawsuit barely started and you've got to prove first that Google is the bad apple here. Quite the contrary, it doesn't look good for Oracle.

I do think that people side with Google on this one because otherwise it would open a huge can of worms, as other useful projects on which we rely on could cease to exist. This is not fanboyism, but rather self-preservation.

Google copied Sun's work, didn't pay Sun for it,
and at the same time destroyed Sun's future revenue
from Java licenses

This sentence made me laugh, because Sun destroyed its own future revenue by being incapable of releasing anything that comes close to Android. Sun destroyed its own future because of its own incompetence. As I view it, Google helped Sun because Android is keeping Java fresh and relevant.

But this is capitalism not morality

Well, actually, true capitalism excludes government-granted monopolies, because that goes against the concept of the free market. And copyright and patent protections are just that, government granted monopolies promoted by people and companies that rely on legislature to keep them relevant, instead of building and selling stuff to customers.

It's also funny that you bring the issue of "morality" into discussion, as arguments based on morality are often used to justify these government-granted monopolies, contrary to the law of the fittest that applies to the free market, which is immoral and unforgiving.
I think this "cheap plastic" meme is completely fabricated by competitors with heavier and less durable products.

Plastic is more elastic than metal, so if your phone falls on the floor, it takes some of the shock and significantly reduces the chance that the screen breaks.

Samsung's "cheap" plastic is also lighter than metal. The Galaxy S2 for example is much, much larger than the iphone 4s, yet the iphone feels like a brick in your pocket compared to the Galaxy.

Why do we associate "heavy" with "valuable" all of a sudden? Shouldn't it be the other way around? After all, a coin is not more valuable than a bank note, and a heavy bike is not better than a light one, right?

It depends on how competitive your local market is. If there is a huge demand for people in your area and you have the skills, you can get away with not having a degree.

If demand for your skill is soft and there are a bunch of other people with degrees competing with you for a job, it's extremely common that companies will use degrees as an initial triage criterion. In this case, you can be very hurt by not having a degree.

I'm usually involved in hiring decisions for my company, a major player in the software industry, and I don't think lack of degree is a deal breaker - but it's a red flag for sure.
I would definitely contest that you have to lock the whole database table for readers. Modern SQL systems will not have readers waiting upon writers. And if you use a SEQUENCE, like you probably should in this case, then you only need a sequence-lock once in a while.

There are also fully independent schemes for this, but they cannot, usually give you ordering properties of your counter sequence. And those who can will have rather large keys (large in size of bytes)

How does upgrading work in Ireland? You probably pay for it even if you upgrade, right?

As an example, I am currently shopping around for a new operator in Germany, and one I looked at offered the Galaxy Nexus. However, summing the base fee over 24 months it would cost >540€, whereas the Galaxy Nexus is already available for 360€ on Amazon. So the operators might not always offer the best deal. (In Germany you can actually find operators with a monthly fee of zero, obviously no phone included).

Y combinator seems to have focused on people that have hustle and a decent idea. I don't think they're lowering the requirement, a 22 year old with hustle and no experience and no idea isn't a great investment. Instead I suspect they're changing the requirement to get a different batch of people in the door, as evidenced by the "as shown by what they've done in the past". Someone with more experience or a more proven record could certainly have "no idea" and be the type of person where if you stick them in a room with other skilled/experienced people, things will happen.

I know more than a few people where we could sit in a room and brainstorm some decent business ideas. Maybe not even ones we want to work on, but a building full of these people, with ideas coming out of one room, being refined in another, maybe being executed in yet another? I think that could lead to something.
Nice, clean approach. I wish ternary operations were more common and widely understood; some people might freak out when they see that, specially with the unusual indentation. I had to condition myself to go back to if/else to avoid the blame.
I don't think anyone would seriously buy based on the current figures. If you buy Facebook today, you're hoping for exponential growth over the next few years, at which point you can either sell at a profit or take dividends (if Facebook ever pay them - US technology companies don't tend to pay out much).

If you want a return now, you could just buy shares in a utility company for a fraction of the price, since they already make multi-billion pound/dollar profits and distribute large chunks to shareholders.
