Well, there's no better way to find out if this book makes sense than just reading it. I think you can take it with a pinch of salt, nonetheless it makes some valid points about how Lincoln treated power. The new edition answers to the criticism that was made against it.
The original Woz's Apple II was by default optimized for developers, just boot the computer (about 1 second to boot) and type:

this is a reply to the above and some other replies in the thread.

considering the timing of the post and specific emphasis on the pull requests, I can only conclude most of it was a direct result was probably from the linux kernel pull request debate. For an article talking about being cordial, it's a bad way to represent someone, especially with wrong context, and even more to bring someone like linus.

The only person who was the most cordial in the whole debacle on kernel tree was linus, esp. to the contributor. Now, after all the smearing has been done, just saying it's removed and should be good, is no way to handle it either.

I said all this because, I respect the work linus does and you do (i'm a python dev too, and use your work more than enough in my projects). It pains me to see someone like you to smear linus' name, and brushing it off saying it's not a important after damage has been done (not to linus, probably he'd not even care for this debate in the first place), and not even apologizing (i don't know, may be put a PS on the article or something).

Understanding you might be sensitive about negative criticism, I ask you to not take it personally. But, it pains me too see good developers talking about how to behave in OSS and then do the exact opposite, esp. from ppl I respect

Oooo.. that's nice, but a pricey way to do it.

Buying existing liners, rafting them up and retrofitting would seem like a more achievable aim in practice.

You could probably get some off Costa at the moment for less than the market rate.

No HTML rendering engines because that's a security issue.

It's not a security issue; there are plenty of apps that download and render content, just not HTML content. You're not allowed to publish browsers on iOS because it's a business model issue. Browsers download and run code. Apple likes being the only one who can decide what code runs on an iPhone, so Safari is the only rendering engine.

Apple simply has some fairly clear up front rules about how to play on its minority platform.

Minority platform? They're outselling all smartphones combined on AT&T and Sprint, and running neck and neck with all Android phones combined on Verizon. They hold 85-90% of app store revenue. The fairly clear rules are "you cannot do anything with your phone that we do not approve of, and we do not approve of anything that potentially interferes with our business model." This should not make you a happy customer.

iOS was incredibly open compared with predecessors.

It was incredibly open compared with J2ME and BlackBerry. It was and is incredibly closed compared with other computers. The iPhone isn't a big deal because it's a better phone; it's a big deal because it's the first usable pocket computer. Why should it be a deliberately crippled one?

Now here's why this is important: Apple is making amazing pocket computers, and teaching people that it's cool for a computer vendor to lock down what software people get to run -- to pay engineers to actively try to prevent people from running unapproved software. It's dominating the cell phone market, and making monopoly plays to lock down its position. It's trotting out a line of bogus claims about why we can't opt out of the walled garden (it's a security issue!), when there are millions of computers with un-locked-down access to cell modems that somehow don't pose a security threat.

I've owned nothing but Macs my whole life; I doubt I'll stop any time soon. But I'm not going to high-five them for taking my money and using it to make my phone less useful, while promoting the idea that computers are too dangerous to let just anyone write software for. Screw that.
interesting, I know they explore much on spirituality, but I didn't realize wardorf school is religiously related.

I do think reading and technology are not important in education. We people retain information far better through audio vs reading. See research from University of Regensburg http://www.linguatec.de/products/tts/references/uni_regensbu...
It's a prototype. A proof of concept. If it works and people like it, then they can do a custom design.
Have these people looked at North San Jose lately? They have been tearing down office buildings (Sony, on Zanker) and have been putting up huge residential complexes. One of them just opened its first phase, and many more are on the way.

Basically, anywhere between the Guadalupe River and Coyote Creek north of Montague is starting to go crazy, and if that isn't the Valley, I don't know what is.
But the real estate restrictions will never change, not in the foreseeable future.

If you imagine a world where that fact will never change in any usefully short future, then you have to work around it.

Why does the software industry need to all be located together? Yes I know, software includes startups, and it's easier to pivot and meet investors and all that when you're together. And yes, it's often more effective to be working face to face with your team mates.

Which means that development practices and industry organization are wrong for the economics of the industry, at least that part of the industry located in highly concentrated and unexpandable locations.

However we're building apps, systems and businesses right now, we're doing it wrong, if mere real estate is what's hindering hiring.
"I think every startup out there is going to take as much as they can for as long as they can"

No, many startups take calculated risks that they can increase their valuation before needing to raise again, or get profitable before they need to, in hopes of avoiding selling large stakes in the company.
It's not like countries with universal health-care are so different in this respect. People are under a bit less stress but most still aim for normal "sheep"-like jobs and lives.

Wait, the Facebook app is bad? I honestly hadn't noticed these nitpicks until I read the article, and even now they don't really bother me. I'm convinced that the only people who can tell and even care about the performance difference between Path and Facebook's native apps are software developers. My wife was using the web version of Facebook's mobile app for months before she discovered she could download the app, and she's never complained about either.

If I'm right and most people don't care, then it's a huge win to mix in HTML when convenient for the same reasons mentioned in the very article this thread is linked to that's lambasting Facebook's app.
I wonder what their license/patent is on this application, would it be untoward to imitate this style without repercussions?

Yep, about that XCode installation: They screwed up when they first made it MacAppstore-only. It has become much better now, it can also update through the appstore without redownloading the whole multiple GB package. The whole Lion software generation was pretty half baked from start if you ask me. It's getting better again now. It sounds stupid but I think as well that Lion has been Apple's Vista. I just hope ML will be their Windows 7.
Are you making the unlikely assumption that you would actually be the original? More likely you'd black out during the brain scan and wake up as one of the copies. You have no good reason to simply assume that you are going to be the original process right after making that fork() call. How might your thoughts about this process change if you woke up as a copy?

I am moving there anyway. Bringing my camper.
I agree with you, but I'm assuming technical questions are asked too. But given several candidates who seem to do well on that portion (which is more of an academic exercise), you have to differentiate them on metrics which you have not (or possibly would have a difficult time) capturing. Hence a set of heuristics which rely on the observation that correlations between practical developer quality (or possibly just the archetype the poster prefers) and seemingly meaningless series of choices exist, you can (hopefully, favorably) bias your decision based on the latter. Choices to speak a lot about the person, especially when it deals with something you work with for such a large fraction of your professional life (e.g., OS, go-to language, sources of information). Sure, you could be selecting mostly mainstream developers and denying potentially stellar candidates, but there is also risk in taking chances with people who fall outside the norm (or what might be the norm for "solid" developers) too. Having said that, I guess I just want to make the statement that while the premise of the post sounds appalling, I'm not entirely against it.
Show some respect for the web and add robots.txt and sitemap.xml support.
Eventually. There is too much legacy code that runs on QT for it to deprecate now, but QT 7 was really the last full version. QT X has drastically reduced dev access to tools and as more media handling becomes browser centric and H.264 based, it isn't likely to go much further.
"there are no other iOS FB apps out there" is completely wrong actually, there are tons of alternative Facebook apps. Most were created mainly because of Facebooks' long delay in creating the iPad app. However, they're all worse than the official app though.

Also, first FIVE years?!

Why are restauranteurs considered successful if they last a year?

I think if people are growing and creating socially good things, why should we worry if they financially fail in 5 years?

If you are lucky enough to be able to, go and do what needs to be done. If that's a startup, do it.
Ah, I thought Tornado was a framework. Will investigate a bit more.
Feel free to investigate further. I had to move on.

Actually, I've noticed all of these issues. Especially the notification sync problem. Lots of my friends have too. The Facebook iOS app sucks, big time.

I guess that is exactly how it makes me feel, like I am dealing with a prototype and it is somewhat less trustworthy...
I guess there's the related one - mostly by managers and developers - where they feel safe if all the data is on a RAID array without backups. Arrgh.
Well actually, people with bizarre build requirements are starting to use clean Go source code as a build target of their increasingly diverse preprocessors. Can't be healthy.

I agree. I've added the source and dulled the sentence. Definitely a mistake.
I just talked to a friend about this. We both stopped using the app because it takes 10 seconds from tapping the app icon to seeing content on our HTC Incredibles. During that time I see 3 differently designed loader circles.

The app UI is great, but I just don't use it because it the payoff is not worth the wait.
I'm so fucking glad I'm done school. Now I finally have time to learn things like Prolog :)
I just moved here from Italy, and it's almost impossible for me to get an apartment that's near public transportation. I mean, other than caltrain there's little if nothing public transportation here, and that may be part of the problem too. I certainly can't rent a house in the hills if there's no way for me to get to work from there. I ended up renting from a colleague.
My question: how does a piece of paper that thousands of others hold distinguish you? It doesn't. Take those four years and $120k-$240k you would spend on an "education" and get a real education - build a company. Building a legit company (successful or not) is worth 1000 times what that piece of paper is. Your mind will be tempered in the fires of reality.

As I've said many times, a degree is just your ticket to being some else's bitch.
Has th3j35t3r been unmasked?
Eh, it's actually because everyone who's shorting GRPN covering their shares prior to the catalyst event. Everybody knew that GRPN's earnings were going to be positive (not positive but that it's going from red ink to earning $0.01/share, ha), so even though this company is POS. For the short-term, you don't want to going against the herd who will be turning around from bashing to mildly praising. When shorts cover, it's a wave that eventually lead to a squeeze which causes more shorts to cover - lifting the price.

Personally, this is a great event. GRPN will go up a little, leaving it more room for the slow bleed later and given that there's also weekly option series. GRPN is a great stock to trade.
That depends on the browser/os ... Android and Windows Phone are able to upload pictures. Don't know how it is on iOS now, but a year ago it was not possible.

I didn't say those are the only people who are weeded out, just that, in general, people who don't have those qualities are less likely to get into "top-tier" schools.

Admissions at these schools actually work a little bit like hiring at prestigious firms in this sense, right? Plenty of awesome applicants get rejected or are priced out of even applying (as you pointed out). But since the average applicant is still quite qualified, that doesn't really matter to the institution, nor to our discussion.

As something of a footnote, I really didn't mean to imply that only Ivy League grads are smart, driven and dedicated. I'm definitely not one, and I like to think I'm reasonably bright.
In short, the reason there’s too much money chasing too few businesses isn’t that the country is running out of people with good technology ideas. It’s just that bad housing policies mean that there’s nowhere for additional people to live.

Well, you could spend millions and take years to move thousands more engineers to Silicon Valley. Or you could just get on a goddamned airplane and invest your money more than a few miles from your house. Silicon Valley self-absorption never ceases to amaze me.
Under the heading "Frequently Asked Questions" on the linked page, it says:

Why does it take so long for MKV to load?

QuickTime expects to know the location of every single frame in a movie in order to play it. This is easy with its native format, MOV/MP4, but more difficult for several others, including MKV. Perian has to read in the entire file in order for seeking and playback to work.

That's probably (part of) the reason MKV and WebM are slow for you (since WebM uses the MKV container format).
I develop iOS apps, and I don't stalk my users. I just assumed that was something everyone practiced, allowing a right to privacy.
The Bay Area is one of the most beautiful places in the world, and if they turn it into another Los Angeles I will cry.

This country is phenomenally huge and there is no reason whatsoever to live clustered together in vile, concrete scabs. Compact cities are more efficient, but congested urban sprawl is most definitely not. Strict building regulations are part of what make this place productive and desirable in the first place.
Uploading works in the browser (Android, WP) and you get emails notifications which are pushed to the phone. One could live without the app outside the iOS universe ;-)
Bridging The Gap Between China & Silicon Valley
Indeed -- I actually meant developers interested in doing native 64-bit codecs, assuming there would be advantages. In truth, having hardware optimized support would be ideal, but the reality is that H.264 is quickly becoming the dominant codec, even in the HD space, that it might be a moot point.

Not having a degree is like not dressing well for an interview. It's superficial, but people are judged for it. Largely because there are more, percentage-wise, unqualified people without degrees than with degrees.

A person may decide that it's not worth investing 4 years and lots of money for the sake of a degree, but a degree has advantages that should not be ignored.
How is this news??? This is the most fluff I have seen in an article yet. Even if this is legitimate its extremely creepy.
Multi-Tenant Public Clouds: Security Risk or FUD? 
Rackspace CTO says its FUD, since the Internet itself is mult-tenant.
I prefer Alfred over Quicksilver, and Window Magnet instead of Divvy. Just in case someone is interested in alternatives.
Transportation to and from a nearby state school plus food is not free even if your living with your parents. 5$ a day in food * 7 and 15$ a day in gas, maintenance, parking, etc * 5 days = 110$ a week * 16 weeks = 1760$ a semester. I went to a state school and adding a 45 minute commute each way was not worth the ~3-4k /year cost savings.
I find these kinds of stories interesting, but without some feel for the size of the data, they're not very useful/practical.

I've heard of Bump, and used it once or twice, but I don't actually know how big or popular it is. If we're talking about a database for a few million users, only a tiny percentage of which are actively "bumping" at any time, it's really hard for me to imagine this is an interesting scaling problem.

Ex. If I just read an article about a "data migration" who's scale is something a traditional DBMS would yawn at, the newsworthiness would have to be re-evaluated.
Those types of regulations exist in every city. The problem isn't housing, it's transportation. Without the necessary transit infrastructure, it's pointless to just build buildings. It seems as if it was up to the author of this piece, the Bay Area would look a lot like LA. Please, for the love of all that is good, do not make this place like LA.
Last week, Facebook engineers came over for a mini-summit…
Although I agree with the Facebook App sucking (and seeming to get worse and worse), I do feel like the article is a bit misguided. I don't give 100% blame to UIWebView and no-Nitro simply because the entire way Facebook has developed the mobile app has been hacky and misguided.

The code itself is poorly designed, the API's are all over the place, there are inconsistencies everywhere and the performance is clearly lacking. On the flip side, take a loop at the LinkedIn app for iPhone. It's super slick, easy to use but still has a ton of features and the performance is far better. Yes, it's not as slick as Path but its miles ahead of the Facebook app.

So if I were Facebook, I'd rely a bit less on the 100% platform agnostic approach, take it back a bit and build the things that make sense cross-platform with HTML and build the parts separately that make sense to build using native code. This approach to me accomplishes much of the same cross platform success without creating such a crappy and laggy app.
I'll try to be nice here, but the author is a fucking idiot.

To posit that the Bay Area can handle the population growth of sprawling and ill-planned Atlanta, Phoenix and Las Vegas is patently ridiculous. The Bay Area is already one of the most dense metro regions in the US and to think that the area could see growth like that without a MAJOR disruption in quality of life is absurd.

I also think many engineers, who can usually pick where they want to live, already find the Bay Area to crowded and have decided upon less lucrative opportunities elsewhere.
Really? The Twitter app on Android is a webview as well and it also sucks.
Facebook’s Prospects May Rest on Trove of Data
It's nice to see Google repurposing Microsoft's project name of "Canary". I'm reminded of this classic Reg article:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2002/10/23/were_being_spanked_b...

The codename for the Microsoft phone was "Stinger" until everyone called it "Stinker". Choice quote:

(Microsoft hates the "Stinker" moniker so much, that it's
rebranded Stinker as "Canary" - perhaps unaware of the bird's
history as a sacrificial and disposable early warning system for
miners. When the Canary dies - you clear out fast).
What matters is intent. Did you intend to go there with the purpose of violating some agreement? Or did you stumble there by accident. I think that makes a difference.
The bigger thing is not what fraction of Quora users use facebook logins, but how much of Quora's traffic is from search results by non-logged-in users (who may be new to the site).

I think Quora would be fine with 20-30k active users with accounts, creating questions/answers/comments. They've rolled out features (Credits, and requiring Credits to promote questions) which imply having a large number of people asking poor questions and giving poor answers is something they're actively trying to avoid.

Yet, if someone like Keith Rabois or Harj Taggar answers something within his field of expertise on Quora, it gets great search placement, AND often ends up syndicated to Forbes, etc.

"Quora as a replacement for blogging, by high value individuals" is the thing to look out for, not huge daily active user counts. With great content, search traffic will follow, and then there will be some way to monetize.

Not every social network has to be peer to peer. If I got to watch a community of great physics experts (Quora actually has some very strong engineering expertise in mech/nuclear, surprisingly) interact, and then pay to ask specific questions, I'd be quite happy. Either pay cash, or pay with answering IT, banking, war zone, etc. questions asked by those physics experts.
