Nitpicking/clarifying a little bit:

"It's self deprecating when you make ridiculously over the top statements about how awesome you are because it makes you look like an idiot."

Usually self-deprecating humor has to be a little more direct to be called such. Conan O'Brien is an good example. Acting ridiculous is a different kind of humor if even if it does make you look like an ass.
PayPal? Wow. And, eh, I dunno, I'd prefer someplace more widely regarded as ethical. You know, like AIG or Goldman Sachs. :)
Yes it is still a variable, a variable of type int* , not int. Which can be returned by a function that returns type int* or type casted int* . Variables of type int are assigned numbers, while variables of type int* are assigned memory addresses.

Ask HN: Is Bing really better than Google?
The folks at Bing have said, "To track our progress, we conducted tests that removed any trace of Google and Bing branding. When we did this study in January of last year 34% people preferred Bing, while 38% preferred Google. The same unbranded study now shows that Bing Search results now have a much wider lead over Google's. When shown unbranded search results 43% prefer Bing results while only 28% prefer Google results." [1]

My question is: Has any one else done this sort of study? If so, what were the relevant percentages? (And is there any trend over time?)

Your argument is highly misleading, First, Rosenhan was commenting on the state of psychiatry at the time rather than making a universal statement. Second, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)--today regarded as the Bible of psychiatry--was not written yet, meaning that psychiatry was at a state where repeatable metrics had not been defined and ratified for everyday use by medical professionals. In fact, Rosenhan's experiment was one of the catalysts that led to the creation of the DSM. Your comment supports a sentiment that is vastly outdated and no longer supported by the current state of psychiatric research.
>With electronic/techno music you see where the intro/beats are. With other music you can see where the intro ends, the chorus repeats, instrumental solo, ...

Absolutely not you don't see that, how can you see where anything starts or ends, when it's not a temporal representation? The only thing it represents is the presence (or lack thereof) of frequencies in a song. For example, what does this http://i.imgur.com/QRka5.png tell you about the song? Can you tell where the intro or chorus or whatever else begins or ends? A temporal representation works way better because you can skip to parts of a song. A spectrum can't let you skip to anything, nor can it give you any information that the general population would like to know about a track.
Really good question I asked myself often the last months.

From a developers point of view both stay strong and demanded. HTML5 because it is more than just HTML, CSS and JS—every web app has some kind of backend which creates and distributes the app. And even if native apps will rule they need some kind of a backend too. So there is no mistake in focussing on non-native apps.

Native apps are pretty strong on mobile platforms due to good reasons. There is still growth and despite forecasts that also HTML5 apps will dominate mobile soon I am sure that native will stay there for a long time. Personally I don't like native development because development is more expensive, you are dependent of few gatekeepers and time-to-market and iteration speed is better with non-native.

To your question: choose that tech or use case which you like, choose something which is popular and try to work with talented people at a startup building an exciting product. Switching to another tech later is easy if you are good with basic design principles/patterns,etc. Making the decision native or non-native is not important—it's about many contacts to talented people.
This will not amount to anything (negative) as instagram isn't worth anything near what Facebook is paying for them. Zuck is taking a gamble by getting a social network on the rise, but is still completely unproven. The last thing he wants to do is pull a Murdoch and buy a platform the rest of the world already knew was dead, so he's goes to the complete opposite extreme (which I believe is a complete overreaction on Zuck's part).

This is similar to projecting an athlete's career... Zuck is gambling quite a bit that instagram is a real stud, but there is always the reality that insta could be a dud long term. Regulators are going to be more concerned with deals that could disrupt current markets. What market has instagram created or dominated? (I don't consider sharing pictures a market)

If Zuck has the Clairvoyance to see something here that will generate a strong return on $1,000,000,000 despite the enormous risk, then I see no reason to not let this deal go through.
I find the vitriol directed towards Unity puzzling, and regardless of your technical disagreements with the decisions its designers made, it's surely a tad over the top to call them "wrong, pathetic and contemptible".

FWIW I recently switched to using Unity with 12.04 and overall have found it very useful and efficient. From a classic usability perspective (e.g., Fitts' Law), moving the application menu bar to the window is much more efficient. And I appreciate the speed and ease-of-use of the HUD.

My wife had an oldish laptop running Windows that was becoming increasingly slow and unreliable. Since 99% of her computer use is in a web browser, I installed Ubuntu and Chrome and it's as good as new.

My wife doesn't want an "exciting experience", she just wants the computer to work reliably. Same for me. Generally I don't particularly care what changes are made at the desktop level since most of my time is spent in applications or the shell, but for the record I appreciate and applaud the work that Ubuntu has put into Unity, and kudos to the designers for their good work.

We live because we enjoy living, everyday, every hour and every second, not limited by the day of success, nor shall we be burdened by the occurrence of failure. We work because we enjoy doing so; we enjoy to know the fact that we are spending our time meaningfully. Success serves the role of imforming us that we are heading to the correct direction, and failure just tells us to change our direction. That's it. Nothing much.
I agree totally about removing the separation between assembly level coding and higher level coding.

With current ISAs no matter how much genius is thrown at GC/JIT its always going to yield a layer of overhead. The pipes are a fixed with, the caches a fixed size - the plumbing is static.

Below this floor a thinner abstraction will yield greater performance. The thinner abstraction is useful to implement GC/JIT. Any language that wont let you bust outside of the GC heap is always going to hit a pain point.

Until a language can self host with no significant efficiency loss there will always be another language to wedge under it. Until a platform has a mechanism to expose its raw feature set up to a hosted language we will forever be in a world of software rasterizers, sluggish Java UI, where software developers re-implement functionality that highly tuned hardware pipes already provide.

Better to be able to write using interleave.highBytesFromQuads and better to able to include your implementation of this using a punch thru to PUNPCKHBW where available or an emulation where not. I guess its the old argument of high level interfaces versus low level. Useful high level abstractions appear over time, but without access to the low level we cannot experiment and build them on a rapid cycle.

I'm sure some OS vendors would like to keep the browser crippled - because in the natural end game their OS doesnt need to exist as an expensive product. Its good to see Mozilla pushing the boundaries.
One things these services often lack is the ability to change the user agent before making the request. For awhile, if one wanted to make use of Pinterest's API, they would just need to change the user agent to mimic the iPhone app. (Recently Pinterest has made using the API more difficult so such a technique is no longer sufficient.)
I wouldn't consider anyone lazy for hiring an attorney to read the fine print and summarize it, rather than reading every word. It's not a matter of laziness, it's a matter of actually protecting yourself. It doesn't hurt anything to read the documents, but it's not a substitute for actual legal counsel.

I also would not trust my real estate agent explaining the contract to me. Just like you should never go with your real estate agent recommended house inspector. Your real estate agent may be the nicest person on earth, but they have a vested interest in the deal going through. It's prudent to find your own attorney and housing inspector who are not associated with each other.

Nobody really tells you these things unfortunately and it is scary as hell making that first house purchase!
It's also in the wiki, I believe.
Makes perfect sense.

I'm also thinking how the vm/language could self extend in the field. How the SIMD extensions (or any feature) could be introduced a-posteriori or independent from browser release cycle.
I used to have the exact same confusion until I reread K&R just last month.

The idea behind int foo; is that: foo is an int. That is to say: typeOf(foo) == int. So you can still think of as the dereferencing operator.

Personally I would prefer int& foo; since pointers are complicated enough already without the indirection.

>> So, I think it is a perfectly valid apology if basically the only thing you regretted about your actions was that it made someone upset
> This is what makes it a non-apology.
reply

This issue is one that my views have changed on over the years, and I've spent some time thinking about it. I currently do sometimes give that "non-apology", if you will. What else do I say when A) someone was hurt by something I said, but B) I don't know what I should have said differently? I genuinely feel bad for someone who is hurt by my actions, even if I feel that I couldn't have predicted/avoided it.

It's kind of like when two people start talking at once--there's no real fault there; you can apologize without feeling "man, I really should have not started talking", assuming there were no cues.

Wheras mine isn't a throwaway and I never use them, for reasons I shall endeavour to make clear.

My opinion is my opinion, and you're welcome to hold a different one, but I'll damn well stand behind holding mine and explain the reasons why I do as myself, with my reputation and my ability and everything I've ever said attached to it, including the stupid, horrible mistakes (of which this post may later seem to me to be one :). Because the fact that I do my best to make less such mistakes every year speaks for me as well.

You are absolutely right that it is worth considering why you created an anonymous coward account, as slashdot calls them, rather than speaking your opinions as yourself - no matter how strongly you disagree with me I respect your right to do so even if I have no respect at all for your arguments or position. But now I have no way to know you, and no way to respond to a human being rather than a (to me) meaningless transient front so I don't really feel like I can draw any useful conclusions from such consideration.

I don't know why you'd want that.

If you want to disagree with me, disagree with me as -you-, so I know who I'm debating with and can frame a constructive reply.

Perhaps the fact that I would rather disagree honestly with another human being, and that you would ... I don't know what you'd rather ... is the point. Perhaps it isn't. But now I can't know.

Arguing for "most people" holds no weight with me when I'm unable to even confirm that you're a person. Maybe I'm too web 1.0 or something. If so, sorry.

Please do, however, consider responding to me authentically; I'm always willing to debate whether I'm right or not, but I've always been rather fonder of debating people than will-o-the-wisps.

Maybe that's just me. Deciding that is left as an exercise to the reader :)

The era of the production line perhaps?

Although, if this is true, then it begs the question what has changed that the most successful companies no longer bulk produce what is cheapest/most modular/has the most features? Because we clearly haven't stopped mass producing things.

I would guess not, so this is academic.
I don't think leaving and tweeting about how you feel is a very useful response. It could lead to a form of evaporative cooling[1] and cause the behavior of the group to worsen. It may be better to put pressure on the group to change. Find someone who is in charge and complain about the behavior you find inappropriate and encourage other people who find the behavior inappropriate to complain as well.

We have been using clang on Apple, Linus, and FreeBSD. It's a lot nicer to work with and compiles faster than GCC, including 4.7. As people point out, the generated code is on average a little slower.
This is basically all that emacs provides: glue between programs, and maybe a really thin GUI layer for interacting with them.

Which, as I'm sure many will ravenously point out, leads back to the "encapsulated environment" problem; emacs then integrates these disparate programs so tightly that I'm now locked into it.
Are we? I don't believe you've disagreed with a word I said.

Of course such options exist. Honest and authentic communication is a crucial tool to avoid disagreement descending into flamewars.

Linus' original post attracted a message from an original developer saying "yeah, I hate that too, we'll try and get round to fixing it". That suggests that his choice of option was really rather constructive, peanut gallery interruptions to the useful parts aside.

“You should buy our shit online here.” – D.C., Jul. 2009
This style rests on the premise that C declaration syntax is:

<type> <space> <name>

It isn't, and using the style is misleading people to think that it is.

You can't write:

int[10] a;

You write:

int a[10];

Basically any type that involves more than a base-type and a pointer is going to fail to work with that style, and then you will lose uniformity as well.

There's actually a pretty good reason for the way C syntax is: The declaration and use syntax are virtually identical, and the precedence rules are identical. It's nice to only have to learn that once.

The fact the * before the variable looks like dereferencing is intentional, you're supposed to read this:

int *x;

as: "Declare the dereference of x to be an int".

And this:

int (*(*x)(void))[10];

As "The dereference of x is a function of void, the dereference of which is an array of 10 ints".

I found it interesting they made a point about rebooting. Considering if you had people turn off their PC's at night, you could save almost double that when you take into account the energy it takes to run a PC and a single monitor. Although most employees I'm sure would be running dual monitors.

If they were indeed running Linux (which boots at least 5X faster than Windows) you could easily make an argument for the exact opposite.

I can attest to that. My project met it's goal of $25k over a year ago when the largest project was still < $1M. It was great market validation. But I was surprised at how much market validation was still left. It didn't deter me though since I know building a business is hard regardless.

I think $200k is still low enough that the market and product needs to be vetted. Pebble at $10M isn't such. Only they can screw it up themselves at this point.
