Rails is not beginner friendly anymore. Learning Ruby, rvm, gem, git, bundler, coffeescript, sprockets, spork, SASS etc. is a difficult, dense task. Rails apps are now full of dependencies and configuration (over convention) the "web development that doesn't hurt" slogan isn't actually true.
This increasing complexity makes Rails Tutorial more relevant. Thanks Michael Hartl, great work.
Great premise, no so great execution. Other that the floppy icon, which I do agree with, the others are either not icons (radio buttons are just circles -- radio buttons just happen to be what they're called) or show use items that are still in very common usage.

Given that IE hasn't run on anything other than Windows since version 5 (when it ran on Solaris, HP-UX, Xenix, and, I've heard Linux as well - up to 5.5 on Mac OS), I'd say they probably don't have any plans for it.

Not quite the right thing: the subpoena is too broad.

This is very typical for law enforcement everywhere these days. Luckily SparkFun was diligent enough to negotiate it down to relevant information, but it the "gimme all your data" attitude is a fundamental problem. This also extend to seizures ("gimme all your servers", not just the ones involved). The courts should never allow this, so although this is the proper process, it is failing. There's no point in insisting law enforcement goes through the proper channels if those proper channels don't do their job properly.

Hi! I'm sorry this isn't any easier yet. In Darcs, one approximation of this sort of thing is to take the whole history (sequence of patches) and hash that. Unfortunately, this approach fails to recognise different darcs-allowed patch orders as having the same history. It's fine as a conservative default, but we'd like something better. See [short secure ID](http://wiki.darcs.net/Ideas/ShortSecureId) for some thinking about the problem.
Long time firefox user,and critic of Microsoft practices I agree with fleitz. Apple's extremely closed ecosystem unfortunately worked against openness and choice in all aspects. Now that Apple is ruling the tablets, and most of the profits of smartphones, they must be targeted by Mozilla too to allow them to use the Firefox renderer.
Well, no, you could have done all of these things synchronously, and in fact JS would have preferred it because JS is intrinsically single-threaded. Ryan Dahl's stated inspiration for Node was that he struggled with a certain slowness in Ruby because it blocked for everything, so he tried to build an entire language that simply wouldn't let you sleep(). You can go listen to his talks; they're on YouTube. It was a principled decision.

I don't know whether making JS single-threaded was a principled decision -- if anything it was presumably the KISS principle at work. However, it was actually a ridiculously nice choice to offer a single-threaded-asynchrony model. It sometimes gets in the way rather obtusely -- Firefox can still (if very rarely) fail to introspect and then crash when some ad script on your page goes into an infinite loop! -- but on the whole, it is very nice to always know that while I'm in this function, modifying this variable, nobody else can interfere.

With that said, I also think that the lack of good concurrency planning is indeed missing, and that it will probably enter the language at a future time.
A programming language is under copyright of the creator.

While NeXT did not exactly created Objective-C, it acquired a license to be able to create their own implementation, which became the official Objective-C compiler.

Plus, lets see what is the outcome of the Oracle vs Google trial regarding copyright.
IE9 and IE10 still have terrible things in them: try creating an audio tag with preload=none. They will happily display an _invisible_ audio player on the screen.

Every other browser understands this to mean, place a (visible!) audio widget on the screen, but don't preload anything.

Growth in revenue is actually more important. If the p/e ratio is 20 and the growth in revenue is 25% each year, then its fine! (Source: Peter Lynch)

"The profit was $1 billion in 2011 and $606 million in 2010. The p/e-ration is then about 75 to 100. Peter Lynch once said that one should buy a stock if the p/e-ratio is lower than the growth in profit. The growth in profit for Facebook was 65 percent from 2010 to 2011. So the valuation is a little bit high"

Hi all! As a Darcs developer (mostly cheerleader), I'd like to make a general comment that Darcs should be seen more as a version control system we're trying to build than one you should use right away. Please keep an eye on it if you're interested in the idea, but don't encourage your boss to use it just yet :-)

It's made a lot of progress over the years, and works great for my needs, but we do still have serious bugs and performance problems we need to sort through; and yes still lacks a lot of critical tooling/infrastructure around it.

We love what we do, and think that we have something new to bring to the table (among other things, making it easy to pinpoint commits that you want to pull, delete, etc; DVCS'es may all do some cherry picking ala git add -p, but Darcs makes it possible to use it everywhere), but it may take us a very long time to get to stage where we can responsibly talk about it.

There lot's of work to do, lots.
If you're looking into getting to some Haskell hacking, consider Darcs as a good side project to get into. We can use you.

I look forward to Darcs being more and more worthy for Git to steal ideas from. I've spoken with an occasional Git hacker, doing a bit of minor evangelism. Hopefully we'll see more work in that direction. It's about developing and sharing good ideas. Software is incidental. If Git becomes way nicer to use as a result of Darcs existing, I'm a happy hacker.
Weekly Mobile News—Could Video-Sharing Apps Hurt YouTube? | Sothink Media Blog
The Facebook timeline acknowledges that many modern displays have more horizontal real estate than vertical real estate. The design reflects this. It uses much larger visual elements (boxes) than a line of text which means it maximizes its use of both vertical real estate and horizontal real estate.

The other thing you're not considering is that Facebook displays more than just text. If you're displaying images inline as well as text, it's going to be more compact if you interpolate each post in a zig-zag fashion rather than making posts vertically serial.

The example you provided doesn't really illustrate why timeline is bad for a website because it's an example provided in a completely different context.

tl;dr Website design is not command line interface design.
Hi, I'm very sorry about your bad experience with Darcs, and am happy that Git is working out for you. I very much admire the Git infrastructure and hope that someday Darcs can catch up or even slowly worm its way into Git again. We tend to recommend it for smaller teams and personal projects these days.

Darcs got too popular too early and was hurt for it (although then again, its relative popularity at the time was also a good way for us to ferret out issues). We've now shrunk back to a more reasonable size (which makes it a bit harder to keep going, but takes off some of the pressure too, double-edged)
Heh, I noticed that too. Yay!

I did watch the video, but used poor semantics. :-(

Fair enough that it is multiple observer context and I didn't spell it out. It's essentially locking in an OT consistency model/control algo. I'll give you that sync is a really hard problem, but Etherpad, Wave, Google Docs, etc. are just a few examples of some off the shelf solutions (the Wikipedia page details more and doesn't even cover the whole set of what is out there, particularly if you consider version control systems). The big commercial success for generic document sync was probably Lotus Notes, and they made the sync solution a separate product product.

Again, not knocking the product, it looks like a quality solution and one I might even recommend, but I'm not sure I grok how one sees this as opening up a new set of possibilities.
I don't know of such a section, there is simply a section on Referer[sic] request-headers [0], at large. HTTP -> HTTP and HTTPS -> HTTPS are implied, if the only stated consideration is HTTPS -> HTTP referrals. HTTPS -> HTTPS Referer works on Google Search, which is usually of the most concern.

This is ridiculous. Of course I hope it is going to work best on the MS Tablet. Why not? It'd be a fail if it wouldn't work best on their own OS. There is nothing whatsoever wrong with that, in fact, it is called decent engineering. And if e.g. Apple does not want to provide the same access to iOS as MS has to Windows, it will not work as slick.

Also, I heared Apple is leveraging Safari on iOS, where is the law?
I'm getting really, really tired of the nonstop doucherocketry displayed by all the major tech corporations lately:

1. Apple gratuitously locking down every last detail of their platform and cudgeling competitors with that control.

2. Microsoft playing me-too to Apple as fast as their little brother legs can carry them.

3. Oracle buying Java and going patent troll.

4. Google basically lying about the reasons for their real names G+ policy and working hard to be the one ring that binds the net.

All of these companies produce some technically excellent products but I have to hold my nose to use any of them. The sad thing is, I think all of these companies could succeed solely on the strength of their work.
We're giving local branches a good think http://wiki.darcs.net/Ideas/Branches

I suspect there was less pressure for local branching because a lot of things you tend to want to do with branching, Darcs sort of trivially does with its easy cherry picking. But there are cases where cherry picking won't be enough and you want to have the separation, and it those cases, I can see where people would want to share working directories.

As one Darcs hacker among several (meaning I want it to be clear I'm not speaking for the rest of the team), the most important thing about Darcs is the friendly UI [and the friendly UI is made possible by the patch theory stuff]. And so my concern in trying to do Darcs branches is to do them in a way that keeps the UI very simple to learn and explore. We'll get there. Slowly.
My apologies - it's clear you were talking about scaling performance with additional cores, which is entirely the right usage of the term.
And it will always have rounded corners, long after everyone forgets what a TV tube looked like.
I too think this was condescending, arrogant, and off the mark. I was born well after rabbit-ear TVs, but I know one when I see it. Ditto, Polaroids were a quaint novelty even when growing up, but I still know a "polaroid border" on an image when I see it. Indeed, the old style microphones (a la Siri) haven't been used in decades before I was born, but yet the iconic shape is unmistakable to anyone in my generation.

Indeed, the author seems out of touch with the state of 20-somethings right now - if anything present-day 20-somethings are the most Polaroid-obsessed generation in quite some time. The market for old, restored Polaroid cameras has exploded in recent years. That iconic Polaroid camera icon on Instagram is quite recognizable to the youth of today.

As iconography this seems hardly relevant. When's the last time the author used a magnifying glass for real? Hell, even in the old days how often did people ever use magnifying glasses? But it certainly has no trouble being the universal symbol for "search".

This is the power of iconography - they are not the objects from which they are derived, and over time and use they take on meaning of their own.
What Power has Firefox over Apple, though ? Once the public has no issue with using locked-up devices, there is not much you can do to leverage the benefits of openness.
It still does.

We've made a lot of progress. You'll see people saying that their performance problems have gone away. But we have a long way to go.

Two things to fix: downloading repos is slow (latency, too many small files); and conflict merging can be slow under a few cases. The first one we have a fix for from a summer of code project, but needs more work. The second issue is a very deep, very serious, and will take us a seriously long time to think through.

Alright: I generally do call them directories. I grew up in UNIX. But we're talking about icons and UX here. Do you consider the "desktop" to be so infantilizing as well?

1: filesystem > directories > files
2: Desktop > Folders > Documents

They're both models for (basically) the same thing. The technical incorrectness of folder doesn't interfere with usage in real scenarios, unless you expect Average Joe to be structuring data as opposed to, say, collecting media. Granted, if Average Joe had mild OCD and thought of everything he did as indexes and references to some abstract node then directories clearly makes more sense, but that would be a separate system divorced from the desktop abstraction.

Edit: Being young of course none of this is really hammered in by convention– maybe that's why I don't mind the two abstractions coexisting. Even if the terminology originated in a Windows era, it doesn't bother me in the least that Mac (and others) use it as well (for the reasons stated above).
Yeah, after taking ML class I was worried the online stuff was going to be heavily watered down. PGM class has reassured me that even after college I can still feel that "oh shit" moment opening up a problem set and realizing I am in way over my head. Still have my head above water though!

Aside from all the issues that were pointed out by everyone, since fonts on Windows are rendered much more sharply than they are on OS X for example, these look absolutely _terrible_ on Windows machines.

I'll just add that these days, people should consider using the Darcs bridge instead: http://wiki.darcs.net/DarcsBridgeUsage

It's not ready for bi-directional incremental bridging, but for one shot conversions, it should be just fine.

The Darcs bridge uses the Darcs library to do things and understands Darcs better.
Alternatively, the judge can rule that APIs are not copyrightable, making the issue of fair use moot. I personally believe that this is what will happen, but it remains to be seen.

There's nothing copyrightable about it because it contains no unique expression and the algorithm certainly precedes the development of Java.

I think that de minimus was only part of question 1 B, which they hung on. But I don't have the jury instructions or form in front of me, so I could be mistaken about that.

Personally, I agree that it ought to be considered de minimus by any sensible definition. It's not so large as to be identifiable as part of the Java language. It's a tiny part of the entire work. It offers no identifiable contribution to the work's value. It is one of only a few sensible ways to express that concept. It has no literary or artistic merit and offers minimal creativity. And it was copied by the very person who wrote it in the first place.

In short, this is a trivial piece of code that was mistakenly included and which caused no identifiable harm to Oracle, as further evidenced by the fact that they're not sending DMCA notices to HN to take it down. But that might just be a bad idea. I mean, what if they got that judge who ruled against a copyright troll saying that even quoting an entire news article could be fair use?

EDIT: Found the SV form. I was wrong about the questions. Question 3 is the only one to mention de minimus, but it's pretty confusingly worded, though it sounds like they did not believe it was de minimus, something I strongly disagree with.

First, there is no logical contradiction between knowing what a deficit is and thinking that a deficit tends to be beneficial. So it's silly (and, quite frankly, a bit insulting) of you to conclude that I don't know what a deficit even is.

Second, I am not suggesting that the US federal government should fight to maintain its budget deficit. It's just that given the current state of things, a budget deficit is a natural and healthy outcome if you want a healthy economy.
