You're 100% correct, it boils down to execution. RIM's (and arguably WebOS') biggest issue is the lack of apps, and they've been doing all they can to engage developers to fix this.

Things like the seeding of devices, free BB10 phone when you develop a BB10 app, App World certification, and $10k revenue guarantee are all inclinations of this desire to get developers on board. They've committed nearly $100 million to developer support and resources.

And it doesn't just end with money. I can engage and communicate with many people within RIM's developer relations team, at any time I want. I have a few on BBM, but that's rarely used as it's quite invasive and personal. I can e-mail any of them, or message them via twitter. Heck, I can e-mail or tweet the VP of Developer Relations (Alec Saunders) right now if I needed to, and expect a response within a week. You can e-mail him too if you want, he doesn't make his e-mail address unknown, he openly advertises it.

And I'm not special by any means. There are more successful developers out there, and less successful developers as well, and we all have the same resources at our disposal. RIM is doing its best to not be a faceless corporation to its developers. Speak to any BlackBerry developer right now, and they're all super excited about the platform. But we are not naive. We know this can go sour, very quickly. RIM has an uphill battle to fight, and we're placing our bets that they're going to win. We could lose, or hit the jackpot.
It depends on your goals. If you're super low carb and trying to lose weight they a moderate amount of carbs would be good, but if you aren't low carb and trying to lose weight then I'd skips the carbs (Carbs after a workout are mainly used to boost protein uptake in the muscles, not to restore energy, you don't burn enough during a workout to need more than time to restore the glycogen in your muscles).
That number seems high to me, but not impossible. This news isn't exactly new though, it's just hitting the presses now. Many of my friends outside of RIM have been hearing this for quite some time.
I absolutely hate hand-writing JSON, but that's why I use YAML. I think you should push for a properly documented subset of YAML, or a full YAML parser in JavaScript instead. Just a Ruby programmer's 2 Eurocent :)
Basement Waterproofing
If you have experienced basement flooding, Roto-Rooter's Columbia basement waterproofing services can help. Call for basement waterproofing in Columbia.
I'd suggest splitting your two hour workouts into one hour chucks or even making them separate workouts.

There's been a good amount of research implying if not stating out right that an intense workout of more than an hour does more harm than good.

After about an hour you've burned most of the glycogen in your muscles and are just spinning your wheels (ie overworking your muscles rather than breaking them down to build them up).
So what are the opportunities there? Opening shop in spain to take advantage of an educated and competitive workforce?? Or it follows the greek way avoiding it altogether???
To be honest, I don't think a firm is interested in buying RIM until after BB10 launches. And they're hoping it's a failure so they can buy RIM for cheap and liquidate the assets. That's what I would do.
I know exactly what you're talking about. Whenever I have back pain I know I've been away from deadlifts too long.
Fly On Desktop 1.3 on Downloads App
Your "reverse takeover" phrase made me think of Apple and NeXT, which worked out rather well. Perhaps the same will happen at RIM.
I just did exactly that. Luckily I came back to read the comments.
Three things:

* Comments in JSON files are not a great idea because people might (will?) abuse them to add special instructions for their own serializers. As soon as this happens we'll have a format that is not compatible with other serializers.

* JSON today is a universal format. So, what are special characters? Should '1hello' be quoted? If no, then its not a subset of JavaScript anymore. If you're writing a new specification you have to define all those things. Same with multiline strings: space after backslash?

* Why? I know that hand-writing JSON can be annoying but is this really the biggest problem we have?
If you want to change software development (as opposed to just making another cool IDE), you have to solve for the modular case. The leaders of the software developer pack are tinkerers and customizes and extenders. Give them a USB port, and you become a tool they put in their tool box, but you haven't changed anything.

On mice/menus, this is a place where emacs got things better than ANY other piece of software ever written: don't make me leave the editing environment. There is no reason navigating hierarchical information and commands needs to be done in menus. In emacs, I can navigate using all the same tools I've already learned for navigating my code, I can search for both command names and command context and execute the command in that context. Especially for something like Light Table, with it's mini-window-things, there is little need for menus. [a note: I'm discussing menus as a UI element, not the abstract notion of hierarchically structured commands implemented another way. Menus are ugly, out of context, and annoying to use. A good information architecture for commands is good.]

A focus on debugging would be good. A tool that could make debugging more efficient would be very valuable.
Douglas built the JSON spec

1) to be language agnostic. Following ES5's syntax directions is fine for ES5 focused development, possibly not for others.

2) to be final - i.e. there is no version number. If you want to extend or build something else, I am fairly certain Douglas would prefer that you call it something else. See http://inkdroid.org/journal/2012/04/30/lessons-of-json/ at 5:30 in the video.

Don't take these points as criticisms, I too would like to be able to use single quotes and trailing commas and everything else here. I think though that in order to work with JSON as a static spec, an alternative approach could be to have your project be a layer like HAML, SASS or CoffeeScript. Each of those tools compiles or transforms to conforming input for their target specs rather than replacing them.

Drive and Intensity to me means frequently (daily or bi-daily for fitness) making small amounts of progress on your goals.

Intensity without drive. Working on something for 8 hours then forgetting about it for a week or more.

According to China (the People's Republic of China), Taiwan (the Republic Of China) is a "renegade province." Both the PRC and the ROC claim that they are the legitimate government of China. In the US, ever since Nixon instituted the "two China" policy, China is always taken to mean the PRC. Perhaps the security researchers are not aware of this distinction, but I am also not familiar with how the issue is treated in the British press.

Taiwan is a major US ally, so if this backdoor is real, then there will be trouble. It would be best for all parties involved for this to turn out to be a false alarm.

Supply & demand.

Back in the day internet connections were so terrible that it was unbearable to do much more than to download a document and display it. Hence, HTTP and HTML. Arbitrary TCP streams existed but in practice performance and latency were very limiting, so nobody cared that HTTP had no support for streaming.

Eventually the underlying tech matured and the standards followed suit. Slowly. But that's the price of interoperability.

I too find it amusing how these concepts keep getting "rediscovered", but in hindsight it's not surprising.
I've been trying to buy Creative Cloud for the last month. And frankly I've given up. I've gone back to Pixelmator.

I own CS3 and was entitled to the one year discount. However my account at adobe where my copy of CS3 is registered was created many years go and appears to be incompatible with their current systems. My account information says I'm from the USA, which is incorrect, I'm from Australia. So when I try to buy Creative Cloud at the Australian Adobe store it redirects me to the American store and when i try to buy it at the American store it say I'm not allowed (because my ip is from Australia).

Right, so I just assumed I'd login and change my country to Australia. Wrong! Their admin panel breaks when I login. JS errors, tried many browsers to no avail. I assume this is because I am missing half the information it assumes I should have.

OK, I'll just call Adobe and they can change my details manually. Wrong! I spent 1hr and 20mins on the phone while they transfered me about. Eventually someone tells me that someone else will fix my account shortly and then I will be able to buy Creative Cloud. Well it's been 3 weeks now and my account still isn't fixed and I can't bring myself to give money to such an incompetent company.
Ask HN: What is your definition of drive and intensity?
It seems to me that a lot of people have distorted views of drive and intensity. People seem to think they need to work 90 hours a week exclusively on one thing in order to be a success. They hear stories all the amazing things that startups accomplish or this or that great hacker have done, but get the timelines all wrong; thinking they accomplished it in days or weeks.

I came up with this definition for myself over on another thread

Intensity without drive. Working on something for 8 hours then forgetting about it for a week or more.

What're your definitions?
Can I ask why YAML wasn't good enough?
I don't think that would work because setting up a shared Apple ID using a throwaway webmail account would be trivial. Each one would be good for multiple devices, and running a build script to generate multiple binaries for multiple accounts wouldn't be all that hard.

They used to ask for a credit card, but I believe that's no longer required (if it were, you could just use a prepaid gift card).
>They have the capability to deliver something truly wonderful with BlackBerry 10.

Here's my prediction, Blackberry 10 devices will turn out to be beautiful, well-made and generally pretty darn good annnnnnnnd it won't make a lick of a difference. I don't see RIM breaking the momentum of Apple and Google.

>Their acquisition of QNX several years back was a masterful move.

How so? In hindsight, it did nothing for them. Playbook, though a pretty good tablet, was a financial failure, and it's taking them until Q4 2012 to re-purpose QNX to phones - in the meantime they are hemorrhaging money, users who are switching to iOS and Android, and developers who don't want to support the current, and dead BB7 platform.

It looks like they should have instead jumped on Android bandwagon and gave Samsung a run for its money.
I made something like that a while back: http://dionidium.com/projects/greasemonkey/markasread.user.j...
This has been true in my experience. I'm not sure if this approach is always better, but over time I've been gradually reducing carb intake and what used to feel impossible without being miserable (50-60 net carbs/day) is now painless.

However with the gradual approach, you probably won't get that dramatic shedding of weight some people talk about. I don't care about that, personally, because I get enough satisfaction out of steady progress and make a game out of optimizing my diet with delicious yet low/moderate carb food.

My first iOS app's icon was a single bold white letter on a green background with the default Apple gloss. It's still my best-seller and not once has anyone complained about the cheapness of the icon. It stands out better than icons I spent much more time on. I did eventually go back and rework the gloss so I like it better and added some texture for the big 512px versions, but it's still essentially a white letter on green background.

> Forget the next SoLoMo craze - who wants to disrupt Adobe? They need it.

I agree. As a photographer, I use Lightroom and Photoshop for most of my post-processing needs. Lightroom, when it hit, barely felt like an Adobe application (it's great), but Photoshop has always been a nightmare of crashes. CS5 on OS X is especially bad.

As an experiment, I tried to use (only) Lightroom and Pixelmator[1], which is the closest "indie" alternative to Photoshop I could find/had experience with. Note that GIMP was out as 2.8 wasn't released by then, and older versions were horribly clunky. Pixelmator gets a lot of things right; it's fast, has a clean UI and supports a raft of layer blending types. But it lacks a lot of useful keyboard shortcuts-and I don't mean "Photoshop shortcuts", I mean shortcuts, period.

This in itself slowed me down considerably; I have a small set of Actions in PS that I use for some final tweaks on most images. Having to re-create those layers manually, for each image, isn't that fun.

I would definitely say that for most users, Pixelmator (or Acorn, etc.) can definitely replace Photoshop. But it's difficult to move away from PS when there's such a large ecosystem attached to it (as unfortunate as that realisation may be).

There's been a good amount of research implying if not stating out right that an intense workout of more than an hour does more harm than good.

This is an extremely generalizing statement. Could you please provide citation(s)?

For example the term "hitting the wall" used commonly among marathoners practically means depleting the glycogen. However this generally happens around the 2 hour mark (assuming no replacement during exercise).

Not all exercises are created equally. A walk in the park is a form of exercise and so is endurance running. Shall we just assume these are equally demanding and stop at the 1 hour mark regardless?
I wonder if they have a payment fraud problem that necessitates manual review of every order. Not that it would excuse the process or the support.
Scoble has 1.5 million followers on G+? I submit that followers on G+ are EASY.

I've been using Livejournal since 2002 and have about 350 followers. I think maybe a hundred of them are still commenting on my posts intermittently. (Yeah, I still use LJ.)

I got on G+ when it came out. I have 232 followers. I think maybe three of them reply to my posts. Sometimes. (Not that I post to G+ a lot but still.)

That's a hell of a lot of followers in about eight months versus like 5-6 years of LJ being a pretty active place. It's not the 1.5mil Scoble has but it's a hell of a lot for someone who never posts, but seems to see a new follower every day.

I would also compare and contrast the age and follower count of my Twitter account, but I'm pretty sure a large percentage of my nearly 600 followers there are spambots or marketroids, and I don't feel like guesstimating how many actual humans are following my tweets.
Yes but I was talking about liking endurance vs short intense workouts. The article mentions that heavy squats and cleans will wear you down so you'll stop coming to a gym. Perhaps that's the case for the author.

For me the case is the opposite. I get sick of feeling "burn" from high rep routines and would rather do squats then cleans that leave me panting on the floor, without burn.

It may be a genetic difference. People have different proportions of fast and slow twitch muscle and excel at different sports.

And the P90X style workouts with bodyweight do cause some muscle growth. That's how people post ripped pics of themselves after programs like P90X. A bit of muscle growth usually combined with fat loss.

I was surprised that a mere 100 lb weight set would feel so heavy even though I could do 50 pushups, 12 pullups, etc. I expected I'd need 2-300 lbs to really feel the weight, really overestimating the shape I was in after doing bodyweight drills.

JSON is wonderful because it is simple and unambiguous. It just works, and serialized data will always look the same.

This "JSON5" thing is an abomination. Use whatever quotes you like! More string escaping rules! Adding these things would make JSON worse, not better.

Here's another idea: why not write a tool that tidies up your hand-written JSON files? You could even re-use your "JSON5" parser to do it. That way you can be as lazy as you like when writing files, but not expect the rest of the world to learn your new dialect.
My thoughts exactly. YAML is a superset of JSON that already has all this stuff and more.

I don't see that at all. Unless you are just building free throwaway apps in your spare time, it's in the realm of reason for any serious app.

People do make decisions based on icons, so a better icon can be good investment if you are trying to attract downloads.

(young) people seem to always want to find ways to skirt the "rules" that Crockford sets up (see also, jslint). Just stop. The rules he lays out are there to make your _long term_ programing life easier. Yes you may have to remember to use semicolons and quote things, but when you have to live with an application you've been working on for years, hopefully you'll learn to appreciate the fact that putting in a little extra time now saves you tons of headaches down the road.

Horrible. There's a reason JSON is homoiconic with valid javascript. You should never have done this.
But this is software as a service -- if fraud is detected 48 hours later, it seems like Adobe should just be able to disable the user's access at that time. They didn't lose anything by letting the user use Photoshop for two days.
Partly because JSON has the lovely feature of being able to just eval() it into an object in browsers.
Well if the American government is dumb enough to outsource its production of military and national security grade chips to Communist China, it deserves whatever befalls it.
Laravel does not cache routes defined in routes.php and especially those loaded from disk with Controller:detect(). What a pitty.
> They didn't lose anything by letting the user use Photoshop for two days.

But they did. If they don't catch the fraud before capturing the funds, then they'll find out about it when the real card holder charges back the unauthorized payment. Now they:

1) Lose the $10-25 chargeback fee.

2) Risk their ability to accept Visa and MasterCard cards at all if their chargeback rate exceeds 1% for multiple months.

The harm of payment fraud is not the lost product or service. Payment fraud is a direct threat to the very existence of an eCommerce business; the ability to accept payments from customers. If your merchant account is terminated for too many chargebacks, your company and all its principles are added to the MATCH/TMF (Terminated Merchant File) lists which all banks/issuers must consult before opening an account. They're essentially banned from accepting credit cards for life, for that business or any future venture.

Considering Adobe's software has historically been among the most pirated, I wouldn't be surprised if they have a significant number of people trying to buy it with stolen card numbers. Brand new phished CC#s can sell for just $1-2, the software's worth $500-1000... I imagine if they didn't have some serious mitigation effort in place they'd already be out of business.
It can be a better experience, but in the vast majority of cases I have encountered it is not.

It was also my understanding that IDEs like Smalltalk/Emacs seem to be favored because they are highly modifiable, not because they are integrated.
Impressed that this short bit of assembler code was responsible for the chime I hear when I start up my Macbook Pro, I set out to convert it to Javascript. Well, a few hours into this project when I start hearing the first (still quite off) results did I learn that actually the current chime is very very different from the original Mac chime: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSuVacw8I-o

What I don't quite get is that the asm code seems to start with a sharp square wave that smoothens off as time passes, but in that video the first sound already sounds very smooth in the beginning.
It depends a lot on how the local government want to address the issues of the debt. If it goes through massive tax increase, it's probably not a good time to setup a business there.

Open Source Chat Server in Node.js with dynamic rooms
It's not systems that can be updated that are the problem, it's embedder electronics. Desktops have no where near enough life span to be a problem, most servers will be updated before then due to advances in electronics.

Embedded electronics can usually only be updated by replacing the entire machine and are written to be as simple, so many systems could be vulnerable to this bug. When you think of things like cars and and even microwaves, this starts to become rather probable.
