Does anyone else somehow get the idea that Elon Musk never gets tired?
I love it. Tell against whom you fight - that would add to the thrill (especially if it's one of the top-10, maybe even show the number fat in that case).
Agreed so hard. (Edit to add: By this I mean I agree strongly. I find this an amusing phrase, but imagine it might be confusing in writing.)

It’s difficult not to be cynical about this.

Yes, there are challenges that would need solved to add user accounts:

• Basic UI: how to add switching conveniently and yet unobtrusively?

• Relatively limited storage: What happens when you want to tote 5GB of music and your family member has 2GB of photos and a 1.1GB game on your 8GB shared iPad?

And yet, it’s certainly possible. The easy answer is they want everyone to have their own device because it means more profit for Apple.

I hope it’s on the iOS 6 shortlist.
The whole first paragraph purports to describe the "developed world," after wwII then proceeds to describe conditions specific to the US. Britain, for example, had food rationing until 1954.

Buying consumables instead of durable isn't really having less, it's keeping less. It's not necessarily less expensive.
I've heard of that index before, and I'm skeptical of it. Ruby and Python waning? Not among any of the shops or programmers I know.

Maybe if they qualified it: "Ruby and Python are declining in use for corporate enterprise applications on the Internet." Something like that; I'd believe it. IBM's website is probably not in Django; it's probably Java with Struts or something.

The the DevOps movement alone, almost entirely based in Ruby and Python, is really expanding, and the call for programmers is increasing. Waning? Hah.

App Engine announces pricing for "Cloud SQL"
The only space drive that actually can work is the transmission of information, not of mass. But you'll need a receiver that is capable of acting on that information. Hopefully, such receivers can be made very small and then "seeded" through the galaxy.

> I'm not talking about COBRA

Public service announcement: you can't COBRA on companies that go bankrupt. COBRA allows you to keep your group plan from your former employer. If that plan goes away, since the company goes away, you will be unable to COBRA. May have changed with Obamacare but this is how it was in the past.
How to make money with parallel programming?
I have experience in multithreaded/parallel programming and want to put it to good use on a side project that could generate decent revenue.

I need some help with ideas. At first I was thinking to offer up computation as a service. We already do storage as a service (see: Dropbox) and it's been wildly successful. I was hoping to find some way to frame computation as a useful service that could affect everyday users' lives. The most basic option I think is to set up a little computer farm and let people run batch jobs for some fee. But that's pretty far-removed from everyday people. So maybe this is the wrong tree to try climbing.

What about a database application that takes advantage of many-core computers? Or maybe a nice wrapper API to use with database systems already in place. Or does something like that already exist?

Summary - brainstorming lucrative ideas to do with parallel programming of many-core machines.

ruby-rant:
I've been playing with ruby recently, and was amazed to find my working toy code broken by each upgrade of ruby (even point upgrade 1.9.2 to 1.9.3). It's a different world/philosophy from java's back-compatibility. I was so surprised I wasn't even angry, just shook my head, wow.

I wanted to try heroku, and the number of layers needing to be installed was also amazing (e.g. heroku's apt-get record doesn't state it needs ruby... ubuntu's repository now doesn't include ruby1.9.1... so I installed rvm (and another round of dependencies and documentation), and found an old gem (undocumented on heroku.com) that would install it). I hit roadblocks several times in this; so it took several days, and several hours on each. So... you've got upgrades/dependency management in apt-get, gems, rvm and heroku - and breaking changes in ruby itself. I recall reading that getting started in ruby had become complex and difficult for beginners, serving its present professional user needs, and very different from the experience that got them started.

Finally... it's a thrilling feeling to reduce 10 lines of Java into 1 line of ruby; but I have a doubt about whether that one short line really is clearer. I'm not saying that it isn't clearer, just that I'll only really know when I come back to it in a few months time and try to understand it. They have identical conceptual complexity; it's just syntax. Don't get me wrong - I really enjoyed making it shorter, I'm just not (yet) sure it's actually better.

No, not a date range. But it does say this:

>No guarantees are made with respect to the completeness or accuracy of this data.

And this:

>As of 2012-05-26, we have data for 1946194 patent applications, including most of the published applications in the following ranges:

... long list of application serial numbers omitted ...

The serial numbers in the list directly map to dates, as the serial numbers are sequentially assigned as the apps get filed. They just don't provide the serial number to date mapping data for whatever reason.

Further, it is data retrieved by a crawler.... Note the first sentence:

>Google has begun crawling patent documents, including image file wrappers, from the USPTO's public PAIR (Patent Application Information Retrieval) site.

So it has, unsurprisingly, only that which it has crawled and retrieved. It is not comprehensive, and it makes no assertions that it is comprehensive.

Iran Reverse Engineers Cobra Helicopter
US-based AAA MMORPGs have development budgets in the $X00 million range, and only end up profitable if they're World of Warcraft or launched before 2004. They take, minimally, three years to launch. The primary customer acquisition method is a nationwide media buy which costs as much as the development costs do, and if you don't totally saturate the retail channel and then sell all your boxes, you lose.

By comparison, you can launch a social game for five/six figures in two months, your primary acquisition method will be virality backed up by cross-promotions and FB ads, if it doesn't work you shoot it in the head and do another one, and if it does work you double-down on development and quintuple-down on advertising and then print money hats.
Your link skirts the issue somewhat (though so does the OP).

The real change that has taken place in cities has not been 'more people in the [designated 100 years ago] city area'. It would be pretty much impossible for most of New York city's 'growth' to happen in the city area (at least, without removing planning regulations entirely). Demand is going up massively though. The inner-city 'slums' of the 20thC are very definitely not coming back and have been replaced by areas of affluence, which are pretty unaffordable to live in for most of the population.

The suburbs are changing too. People are using 'local centres' more, and paying more to be close to a nice one. So even the suburbs are less 'suburban' than they used to be.
I think you would still want WebRTC and Web Sockets to stream the webcam to Jetty/OpenCV. Yeah, he could have sent just coords back to save on bandwidth though.
Many indicators suggest that Ruby peaked in 'buzz' (which is what TIOBE measures) around four or five years ago. Python became ultra-trendy during 2010 but has likely undergone a correction since then, although it's still very fashionable and has even seen a limited transition to the mainstream (where 'mainstream' means corporate and/or educational use). And there's no doubt that Objective-C and C# have seen large recent increases in use, for obvious reasons. So I'd conclude that, broadly speaking, the TIOBE index isn't that far wide of the mark.

That's not true, and its falsity is a very important idea. Making mistakes less costly is often a better strategy than trying to avoid them.

Someone losing a benefit on short notice does not constitute an argument for tax-payer subsidization of that benefit. There are other options for these people, like individual plans that aren't provided by their employer. If such plans aren't available to these people in the state they live in it's most likely due to the regulatory environment of that state. In the states I'm familiar with (CA, WA, AZ) individual health insurance plans are cheap and readily available. (People with serious, chronic pre-existing conditions are another matter entirely)

The people who will be adversely affected by this layoff in this domain will be those who get catastrophically ill, requiring huge hospital bills, who aren't otherwise individually covered and who don't find employment before they get sick. I expect that number to be really, really low. Insuring this entire population against that event seems silly.

Ultimately, relying on your employer for these things is a ticking time bomb.

737's don't go that fast at sea level. Air is too dense. An f4 could probably go 2-3x as fast as a 737 at any altitude. I'm too lazy to look up the specific values.

As to why they used an f4? Probably a heck of a lot cheaper than a 737 at the time.

I'm going to be honest with you. You have me at something of a loss for words.

I think I have given you all the tools you need to understand this issue at this point. Remember that thing I wrote about the null hypothesis? Well people who disagree with you do so because they have yet to see that null hypothesis convincingly falsified.

If you want to disagree with that, then knock yourself out. It requires absolutely zero expended effort on your part to disagree; I disagree with uncountable things in this world every day for a grand total of zero calories burned.

If you want to disagree and convince others of your point of view, then you are going to need to put some back into it. Rationally and methodically state your case for the falsification of the null hypothesis. Write it up on your blog and post it to HN. If the community considers it worthy of discussion, they will address it.

You seem to be attempting some sort of 'know thy enemy' nonsense. Stop. You are clearly unable to or unwilling to wrap your head around concepts you disagree with, so stop wasting your time. Understanding why people think what they do is unimportant, just state your case. I've already told you how.

And do make an effort to post it as a new discussion when you do so, instead of attempting to hijack another discussion looking for a flamewar.

tl;dr: Our case: the null hypothesis has not been falsified. Your case: ???

I eagerly await your blog posting; I think we are done discussing this in this other person's article's comments.
I don't know about "T-34 tank... which outclassed any German panzer in a one-to-one engagement and may have been the finest tank in the world"

It beat panzers the same way American tanks beat panzers --by swarming them. It's not like Americans didn't know about sloped armor --they did. We even provided the Russians with armor --if I recall my history channel stuff. Also, the Russian tanks were prone to quality defects but they made that up with production numbers. Also their effective firing range was dismal --but again, in a swarming tactic, range is unimportant.
Reality doesn't really match up with this argument.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_MMORPGs

It seems that saying one out of ten MMOs do well would be generous.
point taken, though to say,

"The emphasis on experiences also helps explain other large trends like the migration to cities. Cities have always offered the trade-off of fewer goods and less space in exchange for better experiences."

...is just false & i certainly don't agree with this assertion -- to each is own, but i live in a small town in the mountains and it's pretty rad. i love city life just the same, but the reason most people have moved to cities is because that's where higher paying jobs typically are located. this essay makes way too many assumptions.
They're including iOS, not used much in the enterprise (so far), so that one isn't it.

I think they're looking at overall programming, which is growing - an absolute increase in ruby/python would be a relative decline if the total is growing even faster. Make no mistake, iOS is growing very fast (iOS/android on ARM is disruptive, in its technical sense - i.e. like what PCs did to minicomputers).

That said, the common wisdom is that triobe is rubbish.
I'm sure you could run one of these APIs server-side and avoid the warning (which would not work with CSS, but it would be a work-around).

That depends on whose perspective you're looking from. From the US solar manufacturer's perspective, of course it's not a bad thing, since it stifles competition.

But from the perspective of people in the US who want solar panels, or Chinese producers of solar panels, it definitely is a bad thing.

Also, the link you supplied doesn't mention a word about solar--so punishing solar companies in order to "get back at" wind companies just doesn't make sense. Moreover, it isn't the case anymore that the Yuan is unambiguously undervalued. Many things are more expensive in China (in exchange-weighted nominal terms) than in the US, such as cars, electronics, etc. Also, in terms of the current account surplus, it is considered "normal" now [1].

I believe the 'Spectral' colormap (with a capital S) in matplotlib does exactly that.

Based on the names, it seems [1, 2] (along with all the other capitalized matplotlib colormaps) to be a ColorBrewer [3] colormap, which are all designed with these perceptual considerations in mind [4].

Another compounding issue is that for years you could use xxxx@gmail.com as a valid apple ID but with the release of iCloud they now force you to create a xxxxx@me.com address for some of the features (although I can't remember which one). This means that a non-apple email address on your apple id now means you're a second-class citizen.

To make it extra confusing, apple uses your email address as the way to identify the apple id but then also give you a way to change the email address, but only if its not from a me.com address:

In the new houses in my neighborhood, I see that they use some kind of 'home wrap' on the wood before insulation. I could see them installing this on the outermost walls of schools, sensitive/government offices, or other places (e.g. churches, aforementioned concert halls, hostels, etc.) between the outer walls and insulation.

However, you are correct with your comment. In some cases, though, this could be desired, e.g. a hotel that wants to provide, track, and bill for WiFi on a per-room basis.

Right on. I also live in a small town in the mountains - a good life! I do enjoy the 3 or 4 weeks a year I spend in large cities, but that is not the full time lifestyle I want.
As a single founder I am sort of confused about these things too.Here is what my plan is -> Basically become a code monkey for a first four-five months and do minimal promotion marketing.Once MVP is ready then do full time marketing pitching and fix bugs once in a while.If you get funded hire more people and more coding.

Anyone see a problem with that approach?
Tough love: because Haskell proponents spend all their time ruminating on the beauty and purity of their preferred language instead of writing useful and novel software.

No one whines about why, say, coffeescript is used so little in the industry. They just go out and use it.

(Edit: to be clear, I'm not comparing coffeescript and Haskell as languages. I'm comparing the cultures around them. One "team" has a new toy and is excitedly building stuff with it; there's now a whole community of great stuff available with real applications. The other... has some interesting tools available if you look, but no energy. And they spend their time wondering why and NOT excitedly building stuff.)

There should be a whole bunch of escapeshellarg() in there. Who knows what the text contains? Code like this is exactly why PHP devs get a bad rep. Please don't post PHP code online unless you've made it reasonably secure, because somebody somewhere is going to copy that and get pwned.

Also, why not use PHP's own imagick extension? It exposes a neat object-oriented interface, it will be much easier for people to read and tweak, and you won't have to escape anything.

You know there is a whole continent where most people think of healthcare as a right, not a benefit.

And the Hippocratic Oath doesn't mention anything like "only if they have money". And people in the wast majority of other professions don't usually take oaths.

Healthcare and medicine are treated specially around the world.

Isn't it odd how the US mandates car insurance but not health insurance?
It's interesting: fitting text like this is one of those problems which I've found beginner programmers often struggle with when they come up against it. It really doesn't seem like it should be as hard as it is. Latin characters - go figure.
