I disagree, it has a cool design but I think it's too cute/different for a b2b invoicing product. To me it says "we are a trendy startup that might not be around very long" rather than "we are a professional company you can trust to handle an important part of your business".
People want a laptop with a detachable keyboard and simplicity.
With a keyboard (especially one as nice as this), the iPad achieves that goal.

The iPad remains a toy because it is missing one major thing: power.

That's one thing that Windows 8 has going for it. It's got the might of Windows but works on a tablet. That's the right idea, but Windows 8 will be installed on tablets with no keyboard, laptops whose keyboard can't be removed, and desktops.

What we need is the simplicity of the iPad, the benefit of a keyboard, the option to remove the keyboard when we need to, and the power of an OS like Windows, OS X, or Linux. They also need the computing power of a laptop or desktop.

I'm thinking the desktop will be replaced by a dock that lends power to the new generation of tablet, or that mice, monitors and larger keyboards will be available to connect to them. The latter lacks simplicity, so a dock sounds much more feasible. Just plug in and go to work, rather than connecting a handful of different cords.

>"You chose to use Perl but don't know what a hash is." Do you have any questions for me?

This reminds me of someone who once told me they knew C and were proficient at it, but they just "didn't get pointers and I don't use them."
The question wasn't whether or not is exists, but whether it is evidence that the iPad itself should come with a keyboard. And the point was that until this sells 13M units, it doesn't show anything about the design of the iPad itself.

iPad keyboards have been around for a long time, but they don't sell in numbers nearly as comparable to the iPad itself. To me, this says that most people in the post-PC world are happy without them...

That being said - this does look like a nice design.

Ruby was designed as utility goop for Japanese programmers. Inability to parse/output legacy encodings would have rendered it virtually useless for that, even if legacy encodings were strictly dominated by any available Unicode encoding, which many Japanese programmers would hotly contest.
We want portability and uniformity.

Similar, familiar, comfortable look and feel across platforms.

The same fundamental data, applications, and generic controls at our disposal despite the medium.

A phone that can plug into a dock, and signal "dock mode" where it accepts slightly different control inputs by way of keyboard & mouse, displays on an external monitor, and possibly offers additional functionality now that it's plugged into a power source - unlock cores, activate dedicated GPU inside the unit, etc.

I believe Microsoft was operating on a similar notion in Windows 8. The way I see it, as your use case changes, the OS would adapt, capabilities change (IOS turns into Snow Leopard when docked).

Oh, I guess when I said "we", I meant "me".

Well said, and an interesting point made.

The lines are blurring between art and business, and some would go so far as to call the startup process an art form, albeit a shaky analogy.

Art, purely, is somewhat misappropriated here, when I think the better word for my intentions was 'craft'.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aide.ui...

this remarkably capable for Android development. You can even open up an Eclipse project directly in it and edit and install right on the device. Not sure if this is the kind of development you're looking for but developing for Android on Android is a reality with surprisingly few compromises. The IDE is called AIDE by the way.
No, those two forms are equivalent: both indicate an empty string.
Navigation to any portion of the tree does not imply any need to keep the entire document in memory at once.

Worst case scenario XPath expression will not yield any results before traversing the entire tree. However any XPath 1.0 (and I imagine 2.0 is no different in that regard) can be compiled into a deterministic state machine (DFA), which only needs to keep tabs on how many elements it has seen and what conditions has been met.

What XPath 1.0 specifically doesn’t allow are arbitrary sub-expressions in predicates. Those would be problematic in certain conditions.

The only potential issue with performance is when running a large number of XPEs against a single stream. So there are various techniques to remedy that, including merging state machines for branching expression etc.
I had never heard of them before I saw it, and had about the same interpretation as you.

Django GitHub migration done
We implemented something like this at the place I work.

We have a tiny ruby process, based on event machine, that subscribes to various queues (we happen to use RabbitMQ). When a message arrives, the process makes a request to the passenger instance passing along the message data and waits for a response. The process limits the number of requests it makes to prevent background requests from blocking out front-end requests (for example, 20% of passenger_max_pool_size). We're also simulating priority by using different prefetch values for different queues (for example, 10 messages for high queue and 5 messages for low queue).

Can national statistics be self-fulfilling?
Double quote:

In a strange way, Britain’s ONS, and similar agencies like the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) in the United States, hold the fate of politicians in their hands because they help write the political narrative.

It is only a slight exaggeration to say BEA is one of the most powerful agencies in the U.S. government. It may not have as many tanks as the Pentagon, but by measuring the success and failure of economic policies, it can make and break presidencies, as President George H W Bush could confirm and Barack Obama fears.

Well turned phrase there, "may not have as many tanks as" ...

I actually think what this says about the iPad, is how very strong a product & category it is. That it can spawn an ecosystem of very high end add ons to adapt it to different use cases. To me, that just further demonstrates the depth of its conception and quality of execution.

BS. The BEAST attack requires first injecting JS into the browser which in turns requires being man-in-the-middle. After that all bets are off and there are easier ways to hack the system.

Moreover, the only known solution on the server side - downgrading to RC4 (TLS 1.1+ is not supported on majority of the browsers). The cure is worse than the decease.
Microsoft has submitted a proposal that is interesting for a few reasons. The requirement for encryption is optional and also the API/framing is closer to Websockets.

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-montenegro-httpbis-speed-mo...

If encryption is required, I can see many complaining about the burden of certificates. Will this finally drive an alternate solution such as Moxie Marlinspike's Convergence project to help us do away with the certificate authorities? Also, I can see a huge increase in the number of IP addresses unless some serious progress is made with SNI. On the otherhand, that might finally open the floodgates for widespread IPv6 adoption.

Is it like words sounding in your head or something?

I would say it's close to that, except there isn't the feeling of a sound. It's more as if language were a muscle and you were exercising it silently, producing words. Not that all thoughts come in complete sentences or even with words, but some mental processes definitely involve language. I'd be surprised if you didn't have this as well. Hard to say, of course. But you may catch yourself "thinking in words" someday and then realize you do it all the time.

This sounds very interesting and is something that I'm thinking about doing as well. One "limitation" that I see with the BackBlaze pods is the possibility that they don't perform well in heavy everyday use. They were designed to be mostly write-only devices, but my use case would be very read heavy and I'm not sure how they would hold up.

Do you have any information on what/how you went about building your storage system? If not, would you be so kind as to create some text (blog, how-to's, etc.) that detailed your setup and how it performs under your workload?

I think the mistake you're making is you assume it's the skills (gained and later forgotten) that the employers care about, but in reality the college degree is just a filter, not unlike an IQ test. Sure, it sucks that it takes four years and costs $100k, but hey it's not the employers that pay so what do they care. (That's why degrees are less important for engineers, since you can filter eng candidates by asking them a few coding questions.)

(Not that this makes the situation any less deplorable.)
What, like Mendeley?

The "no cables" claim seemed a little far fetched and after digging through all the pages you'll find that the keyboard has an integrated battery which has to be charged via a micro usb cable.

So you'll need one cable to charge the iPad and another different one for this device. In their shoes I'd try to make it possible to also have the iPad in portrait orientation so that the keyboard can access the dock connector and then have a dock connector on the keyboard for charging and passthrough charging/data.

If you are doing well by exploiting people, you shouldn't expect any sort of respect. There are all sorts of charlatans who sell awful damaging products who do well financially. Some more obvious examples are gambling and fake medical products like those holographic armbands or homeopathy.

If your end goal is to make money for yourself at all costs, don't expect any sort of respect or good people to work with.
Potentially you can work around some of the latency issues by using a CDN.

In Australia (where latency to anywhere cheap-to-host sucks) many people use Rackspace CloudFiles because that gives you cheap access the the Akamai CDN. Akamai has multiple points-of-presence in Australia, unlike the Amazon CDN.

For apps aimed at the US market there are a huge number of reasonably priced CDNs.

That's such a great way to put it. You hit the nail on the head. For the rare exceptions to this, you better be damn sure it's worth the time, and that you really need it. Because if you think about it some more, you will probably discover you're better off not doing it at all.

I think the idea behind "don't do a startup" is to warn and discourage people that want to do it because it's cool.

The fundamentals behind starting a startup should be orders of magnitude stronger than that. You'll know if you got them.

While I think the startup experience should be tried by anyone (and by the way, I don't think startup life sucks, but it is hard), I hope it won't turn into an international trend where every "social" site equals a multi-million $ business.

Nice downvote, but compare his screenshot and mine. There's something pretty clearly wrong with his stylesheets or browser or something. There are no visible controls in his new GMail section - something that nobody else seems to have.

Further, he doesn't seem to be even the slightest bit interested in figuring out what's going wrong.
Before my current startup, I worked at Fermi National Accelerator Lab on the CMS detector data taking team for the LHC. I spent a year there getting to admin the spinning storage (~5PB) on Nexsan Satabeasts (very nice, but very expensive for ~48-96TB of disk per enclosure) and ~17PB of storage on Storagetek tape silos (also, of less consequence, ~5500 nodes that reconstructed collider data from raw data we streamed over 40Gb/s optical links from CERN).

After my experience there (both technical and political), I left to do big storage. We settled on the Backblaze enclosures due solely to cost (cheap is cheap); read performance is sub-optimal, but we try to compensate with heavy caching in memory and intelligent read assumptions ("what might someone request next based on past read requests") at the app level (sitting on top of Nova).

I could do a blog post, but I have to check with my partner to make sure they're cool with me spilling that much info =)

Hope this has helped a bit. If you haven't guessed yet, I love object storage.

Because $1000 for the entry-level Air still puts into the luxury-goods category relative to everything else on Best Buy's PC aisle.

By the same token, why bother discouraging people? It's the same as saying "stay in school, don't do drugs. Don't try to be a rockstar like me." There's only so much need for startups and so much money to go around. To me, the original article was just an excuse for this guy to "humblebrag."

I posted this in the comments of the blog yesterday but it hasn't been approved yet, I imagine there are a lot of comments to get through. Please excuse the second person singular grammar, I'm copying this straight from the notes app on my phone:

Your last two points I agree with, but given they are optional and can be switched off I think those criticisms are not only misplaced but suggest a sense of entitlement similar to the designer's arrogance you bemoan.

On your first point though you are simply wrong. The thing you incorrectly call 'visual texture' is actually clutter.

The borders for individual table rows are superfluous as the baseline of the text draws that line regardless. Additional borders duplicate these baselines and demand that a user reads twice as many visual elements in order to interpret an interface.

The same is true for coloured backgrounds. If a distinction of utility has already been inferred by shape and proximity then to add an additional visual cue adds little more than another layer of complexity. This is unnecessary visual information that a user has to decode. Time that could be better spent performing the tasks they've actually come to the app to do.

I'd suggest having a read of Edward Tufte's The Visual Display of Quantitative Information and Envisioning Information to get a better grasp on these concepts.
