Having used GWT in the past, the GWT error makes sense. When loading a GWT application, GWT first sniffs the user agent and locale. It then downloads a different javascript file, optimized for the given user agent and locale.

For example, the javascript file served to a French user using Firefox will contain only French labels, and won't contain any code to deal with IE, Chrome...

User agent sniffing is not always good practice, but, in this case, it results in a nice performance improvement :) You can even use it to have a "production" and a "debug" version of your app. By adding "?debug=true" to your URL, GWT would load the "debug" version, which could for example contain code to log information.

Why not use nginx/uwsgi/virtualenv from ubuntu repositories? In case of uwsgi, you'd get ready-made upstart and logrotate scripts, and with virtualenv you get automatic updating with the rest of packages.

I think Bret Victor's experience could be a useful case study: able to propose and see implemented major interaction paradigms like interacting directly with the screen to eg swipe around on an iPhone, as opposed to pressing a button. And yet, limited by what the company actually did and moreso by the ideas he couldn't share.

On TV these wives are usually shown doing the laundry or changing diapers while talking on the phone. Last I saw was a movie with Anne Hathaway doing that job while dating her new boyfriend or working her boring job as a secretary. In the end her boss from her "proper" job takes over the phone customers for her. Sorry if I did offend, judging by all those movies I didn't think it was such a big deal. No idea if it would be a viable job thing (reality is probably different from TV after all).
You made me curious (about your skills at doing things the world says cannot be done). Can you elaborate?

I suspect they are simply wrong. Chrome plating requires electricity, which I don't think they had.

Search for chrome plating plastic and you'll see - I didn't find any processes at all that did not require electricity. Usually they will plate with something conductive first, then chrome on top.

They may have plated it with other things and Time doesn't realize it's not all called "chrome".

See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroless_nickel_plating for an example method - although probably not the one they used. And http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plating for a larger list of metals.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinplate seems most probable due to its long history and that tin is one of the earlier metals that humans mined.
So like... A company bragging about itself in a way to make employees work more without asking to get paid for it? Can't say I've seen anything like that before. How original this makes Apple!

Back to real life: every company claims to be best, unique or something like that. Some hollow, BS claim to motivate their employees. But just because they print it on a poster doesn't make it any more real.

Apple is heartless corporation like all others. This can easily be seen in their profit-margins: They care about money more than anything else.

I don't see why Apple fanboys feels the need to make Apple anything more, you know, like a special corporation, which cares about them, personally. If you think that sounds obnoxious or facetious, I've seen people here on HN make those exact claims.

Anyway: It's a corporation. Making money. Often in ethically shady ways. Nothing more, nothing less. Like every other corporation.
The US was an ally of South Vietnam at their government's invitation, and never did actually invade North Vietnam. If they did, maybe the war would have gone differently.
(Also, if you spent any time at all to look into who I am, what I do, or the things that I stand for, you'd realize that your appeal to alternate-saurik in a world where Google built an open system that was capable of being abused doesn't really have much basis, and is honestly a little insulting.)
> But the real problem with apps was more profound. When people read news and features on electronic media, they expect stories to possess the linky-ness of the Web.

But why not simply embed a web view? I like to use the App "Alien blue" to visit reddit.com. This sites purpose is to link outside and it works fine as an app.

There is nothing wrong with apps, or even walled gardens, but the implementations of digital magazines shortly after the iPad release was a giant WTF: Glorified PDF Viewers, slow, non-hypertext-linky, non-zoomable, non-Retina-ready, crashy, 500MB - 1 Gigabyte an issue.

Essentially if you want to go down the path of a real business (ie one that generates $1k per month) you really need to be pursuing something you believe in and are willing to commit 110% towards.

While all these online ventures being suggested here are noble and probably relevant. You have to ask the basic questions first.

The F-16, F-18, A-10, and Harrier are aging airframes that won't last forever. They need to be replaced. And frankly, stealth is such an improvement in terms of survivability in combat that the marginal expense of stealth technology is easily worth it just to protect the monetary investment the government makes in a trained pilot.

The F-35 might not be the best design (they'd be better off with a cheaper F-22 derivative and a separate replacement for the Harrier I think) but it fulfills a real requirement.

I've rarely heard people try and sell startups as a way to make oodles of cash. It's more frequently sold as a way to be your own boss. As such I'd expect it to attract people of a particular personality type, who want to drive their own ideas forward and do things their own way, without anyone telling them what they can or cannot do. As such I'm not convinced that it is always a rational decision (or, at least, not an entirely rational one - there's definitely emotional input there).

Looking at all of the people who applied to YCombinator and seeing how many of them have successful businesses a couple of years later would be fascinating.
Sure, but then, what's a program, other than an exhaustive spec?
It seems to me that if you already have, say, 100000$, then that utility changes completely. Losing 1$ would be meaningless for you, whereas gaining 1 million dollars would be a huge improvement.
Good points. We do have comparisons with most existing TCP solutions out there (at least the ones we were able to get a hold of). I did not put them up because I did not want to drown people in information. But I should put up a white paper that has more detailed test results.

By the way we do beat the the Linux TCP stack (which now uses Cubic TCP, afaik). The data shown on the site is Compound TCP, which is the current windows implementation.

Let me know if you would like to see the detailed test results.
How to extract audio from videos and CDs?
That's what happens when you have a reasonable idea, i.e. let's replace the F-16 and F/A-18, and all of a sudden someone says "hey, the Harrier is getting old too" and you realize the politicians aren't going to pay for two new planes at once, especially not after how much they've already spent on the F-22 and B-2, so you just throw all the requirements together, so by the time it lands on the desk of an actual engineer who realizes what a hash of things you've made, it's too late to change course.
Given we live in the 'everything has been done' world, being first doesn't mean anything. Many of the big names were not first (google, facebook, twitter etc).

So 'doing it right' has a lot of benefit.

But in context probably of most value is just the 'doing'. Getting out there, speaking to potential customers and showing off your MVP.

>>There's work and there's your life's work.

Sure there is, that is why we choose to do it for a price that makes our life rewarding and deserving of such work. Talking of work and no rewards and compensation is not very impressive these days.

>>The kind of work that has your fingerprints all over it.

Yes that is why commits to source code repos exists. So that users who make them are traceable. Nearly every Open source repository has a AUTHORS/CREDITS files these days.

>>The kind of work that you'd never compromise on. That you'd sacrifice a weekend for.

I would only sacrifice my time for some compensation in return.

>>You can do that kind of work at Apple. People don't come here to play it safe. They come here to swim in the deep end. They want their work to add upto something. Something big, something that couldn't happen else where.

They said the same thing to slaves who built the Pyramids, Taj Mahal and Colosseum of Rome. And they did build things far more majestic and time lasting than the iPhone, iPad, Mac or the iPod. I don't wish to die as a slave even if I'm building the Taj Mahal. Nobody cares, and its you who is having this horrible life sacrificing your time, energy and other things in life for somebody else.

This is hardly inspirational. This sort of inspiration evaporates in thin air after you receive your salary two months into your job.
I would love to get software to visualize source code as 3d structures. As a main purpose to see its complexity, not to read or understand source code. And then put on one picture, side by side with proper scale, my system and a stadium.

I'd go further, and say that Apple is significantly worse than many other corporations in our industry, in terms of how they treat their people, how they treat their customers, and how they view the world and the ecosystem in which they operate. When Apple has power, they abuse it. When they don't have power, they fight tooth and nail to obtain it, while playing the underdog card.

And, there are corporations in our industry that are not "heartless...like all the others". If there weren't, we wouldn't have a higher standard to compare Apple to in order to see their many shortcomings; rarely are those better companies as successful as Apple (which is a great disappointment to me, as a believer in free markets), but many exist. There are, of course, many worse companies, as well. But, Apple certainly isn't a good one.

Both aspects are valid, but I think what you point out is also very important. I know several people who are not launching their product because they are doing yet another iteration of user tests and fine tuning. On the other hand my experience has been that if your product provides anything useful for people, they will be able to extract it. I am often surprised at the complex user interfaces people master - stuff I personally would never have the patience to put up with, but "normal people" somehow master it, even if at the same time they might not be aware what a browser is. (One example: Facebook groups, horrible interface but apparently people use it).
"few of us" were actually quite a majority... Of people who knew what they were talking about. And we were right: Afghanistan cannot be "conquered" or "fixed", as 10+ years of failed occupation have proven.
AFAIK, ureadahead just keeps track of which files/blocks are touched during bootup/startx and pre-reads them into a cache at the very beginning of the boot sequence so you will effectively boot from cache.

This still requires seeking to several semi-random areas of the disk while prereading which e4rat is fixing by physically moving the needed blocks adjacent to eachother.
Come to think of it, all this sounds pretty pyramid scheme-ish.

Recruit others to sacrifice weekends on vague promises of money and self-fulfillment. Wash them so they tell around how awesome it is to work in such manner and for such a great employer.

Iterate.
You know what would make my day as webdeveloper?

1. Language that doesn't require me to connect to the external system and use new brain-dead language to do such basic thing as persisting and efficiently accessing data. How do you declare persistent array of objects that you will be wanting to access by some of their properties in your favourite language without keeping the whole thing in RAM? I'd love to have my data stored in XML if I could query it without loading the whole file into memory and if I could hint it what XPaths I'll be accessing in the future so it can create some indexes to make those accesses faster.

2. Tool that I could use to convert photoshop design to sane subset of HTML and CSS and perhaps JavaScript without manually writing text documents all by hand. Dreamweaver is just set of buttons to click to insert tags and that's not what I mean. I think of something more like a GUI designer where I could load psd, or multiple psd-s and use them as a blueprint and source of bitmaps while creating a webpage. In MS Visual Studio GUI designer has a nice thing called Anchor. It allows you to anchor borders of your component at fixed distances from borders of it's parents. If people who defined HTML standards embraced that ideas then webdevelopment of recent 10 years would be flowers and bunnies instead of franticly searching how to make the browsers actually fill the height of the parent when you say "height: 100%" (hint: you can't).

3. Tool that could present me with graphical view of what components my webapp consists of and how they are connected. Something like database diagrams but for living breathing components. It's really tiring to making sense of what your app actually does just by looking through a small hole of the size of letters in the debugger and stack trace.

4. I'd like to see, while inspecting a method, all the places in my code where this method is surely called from and all the places this method might be called from (because of inheritance, function pointers, dynamic calls etc.). Function call is the connection between component. It's really nasty that when looking at source point of the connection then you can see the destination but when looking at destination you have no idea what are the source points.

What webdevelopment lacks in my opinion are just proper (visual) tools to deal with its complexity and inconveniences. Decade or two of this crap and you really are fed up because there are less and less interesting problems to solve and same drudgery over and over. Standard component interfaces would also be nice but unless you have a generally adopted tool that favours some standard there won't be any standard. Current state of the art web-development tool is text editor with syntax highlighting and auto-complete broken to various degrees. The only thing it favours is not keeping HTML, JavaScript and CSS inside strings because then it refuses to highlight it. It does the same thing about SQL but that really doesn't bother people enough because SQL is already lost cause.
It's more like 70 years of failed occupation...
I had a p/t QA job testing games for IBM and other local ISVs. I was a highschool student at the time and the only requirement was knowing how to use a computer and writing detailed descriptions of what happened and what you did to cause it.

I can't imagine how programming has anything to do with assurance (the A in QA). Though I have seen job descriptions confuse QA with analytics and analytics definitely requires programming expertise. I usually chalk this up to HR not knowing what the hell they are talking about.
Every custom work is like that and all what programmers do is custom work.
Also, there are some great and funny comments about this article on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/t9qxy/reaching_...
When I had to provide credit card information to install FREE application from iTunes, and send copy of ID to Facebook to get my account unlocked (because of their obvious system-wide bug), all in one week, I gave up.

I'll finish these Facebook apps I am contracted to build, wrap up iOS apps also under contract, and stick it to the man.

No more of this hogwash.

Great talk, thanks for sharing.
Ten years ago, BeOS booted in ten seconds without any special tricks. That was on late 90's and early 00's hardware. Certainly it didn't access hundreds of megabytes of libraries and files in order to boot as a modern Linux does, but it was also specifically designed that way even by the contemporary standards.

And don't get me started about the 16-bit era... Machines were slower then but using them was generally faster.
Apple was only about one thing Fulfill Steve Jobs's vision. Throughout history men who made others work for their dreams with a religious zeal and discipline always did good. Note: they did good, and not always the ones who worked for them.

That is why dictatorship looks so good from the outside, because you can see the results. But internally someone somewhere is living in most miserable conditions to make things happen. You will see this pattern in every authoritarian and dictatorial set up.

Those stories from his biography on sending the most hardworking and performing person on his team on vacation just to deny him bonus. Denying stocks to most early employees who deserved it. Doesn't reflect good on Steve Jobs's part.

SMS Flash as gesture based notification for Android apps in full screen
If you go the 80/20 route, you'll only need an iOS anyway, and later on you can add an Android app - that's what they all do now, anyways. Perhaps that will shift to Android-first when everybody and his dog has a cheap Android phone (I hope not!).

Pseudo-native HTML apps are inferior, and people will notice it. I'm quite fed up with the FB apps on both iOS and Android because they spend more time with loading than the in-browser version. It's so bad that I actually considered if FB wants to drive people away from mobile so they click more ads in the browser - I don't think that's really the case though.
You have to also "simply" embed a download/update mechanism, "simply" test various restore scenarios (Consumable vs non-consumable receipts), "simply" make sure it works in various orientations, and "simply" modify the way the entire organization works to suit Apple.

The content is also different, taking a bunch of webdevs and telling them make this work on iOS does not result in compelling content layout, design, or navigation. There are subtleties in pinch&zoom, dragging, etc. that most webdevs have not had the pleasure? of dealing with.

On top of that, UIWebView bridging js+objc is a PITA for iOS, and its a major problem for android where the 2 solutions are not even close to similar. So there is little code reuse between the viewers, and the content itself must be slightly different for the 2 platforms.
