AT&T's BYOD effort coming to BlackBerry, iOS and Windows Phone with Toggle 2.0
Moore's Law has largely been sustained because we've just been been getting as much as we can out of one overarching idea (silicon and transistors), and incremental progress along that direction is inevitable when there's no stimulus to force exploration of a completely new direction altogether.

Like olefoo said, software is an entirely different game. In addition to the above point, the relative progress of software is also impeded by the fact that it has to cater to millions of different applications in the real world and perform under different constraints in each one. When it covers such a broad range of application, its hard to really see what the "best way" is,and there probably isn't one.

Final (and most important IMO) point - there's no way to simply characterize the progress of software into one number and see if it follows Moore's law. Given that the open source movement, social networking, sites based on user-generated content, and tons of other things have all been created in the last decade, we may not be doing that bad.
Nice idea, but too much clicking involved.

It should really be a name, a photo, a name of most notable/public piece of work and a link to a personal site/about page.
Huh -- so it's like Synchtube (http://www.synchtube.com/), except it only supports Youtube and you can't be anonymous.

i like the look & feel of apple products. they are really great.

on the other hand i would never buy one of those i/macThings because i always saw them as prisons. hardware, software and mind prisons: "you can do it the apple way or you can't do it at all". sorry apple, i'm too long in this whole computer thing to accept a prison - how pretty it might look - as a product.
I lurked for a while but never posted there.
I think you are probably right. Large companies will take these for vanity/defense of brand, but I won't hold my breath for mainstream adoption. What was the uptake like on info, name, pro, biz? Not much. If a large corp wants to use these to brand an area of "mindspace" like ".book" or w/e, they could have already done so through traditional branding avenues. - this will just be a 25k/yr adjunct to existing projects/products, but I doubt it will be anything of itself.

I agree that View Source is good, and stumbling on that option is how I started to learn HTML as well. What people are saying here is that View Source->Copy->Paste->Profit is bad. View Source->Learn->Reinvent->Profit is fine.
I had a late 2007 white MacBook whose original battery was still marginally usable last year (the menu status was Replace Soon, rather than Replace Now) - holding about 60% nominal charge, IIRC. The drive had been replace once, following an overheating incident which left it failing.
I approach all computer usage as if it's inherently harmful to my body, and I must minimize that harm if I expect to work with them the rest of my life. I have had excellent results avoiding repetitive strain from the following two products:

3M Ergo Mouse: http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/ergonomics/home/...

Kinesis Keyboard: http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/

I have no relationship, commercial or otherwise, with either vendor. Just worked well for me, as a professional software engineer. I highly recommend them. Both are designed to shift common movements away from smaller muscles toward larger muscles. Where a regular mouse relies on the small muscles of your wrist, the 3M mouse shifts that movement to the larger muscles of your arm. Kinesis moves the most common keys (space, enter, delete, modifiers) to one's (stronger) thumbs, and places keys to avoid the "stretch" of one's hand common with key combinations like ctrl+shift+T.

I should also mention that I use a standing desk. I think that's an important benefit to non-harmful mouse & keyboard posture. My experience from working while sitting in chairs is that your body tends to lean from side to side, extend one's arms to a degree that will cause repetitive strain, or put weight on the wrong places (like armrests). I have had an easier time adopting correct (least harmful, according to modern ergonomics research) posture while standing.

That posture is: let your arms fall limp to your sides. Now, bending at the elbow (and without moving your elbow), raise your arms in front of you to be parallel with the ground. That's where your keyboard should be. Your mouse should be in reach by rotating your arm, again without moving the elbow. This is the best posture for both chairs and standing (according to the ergonomics expert paid by my company to examine my working space -- I find this to be true in practice). As you can see, it is difficult to achieve this posture in a chair. The height of your desk is probably wrong, and you probably need a keyboard tray. It's more easily achieved with a standing setup.

I have had virtually no RSI issues since switching to these two products and a standing desk about 1.5 years ago. Both devices are fairly different from a normal input, and took a long time to learn to use effectively. The 3M mouse trades away accuracy, but with experience you can get almost as good as a normal mouse for regular desktop applications. I still use a regular mouse and keyboard for PC gaming, however.

Hope this is helpful to other intensive computer-users out there! Give standing a try -- your health will probably benefit.

This whole process is a scam designed to extort more money from trademark holders and well-known names through ever-growing defensive registrations.

In the real world this would be construed as protection money.

No further semantic information is conveyed by another domain registration; there is no improvement whatsoever in resource discoverability.

The only winners are the name squatters, with Google and Amazon and every other applicant greedily lining up to be the slum landlords of their own worthless little namespace.

ICANN should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves for presiding over this farce.
Dude, quit with the legal editing. It's a reply letter, not a legal brief. The point is not to win in court, it's to intimidate the other side. Your version might be clearer and more succinct, but my eyes still glazed over by the end.

And calling each component part of a plain-language sentence superfluous, pedantic, and unprofessional is itself superfluous, pedantic, and unprofessional. Pot, meet kettle.
Decades ago, image-editing software looked like MS Paint (or worse). Nowadays we have the ability to create fancy renderings in something like Blender and add all sorts of effects with Photoshop. Is that the sort of progress a "Moore's Law for Software" would be measuring?

One of the intrinsic problems with something like MLfS is that software "progress" is much harder to measure than transistor density. What if image editors make great progress but text editors are stagnant for a decade? What about search relevance improving steadily through the 1990s, then content farms cluttering results in the 2000s?

You've been at a lot of companies in a short amount of time. My experience has been that Yammer is not useful, for when the company was small and even less useful for a larger company. What exactly do you find useful that isn't covered by existing products?
Am I the only one that thinks that "insider trading" is pretty much how most of Wall Street & Washington DC works, period? Lots of "tips" passed around, favoritism, loose talk, secret undocumented deals and promises, shell games, front running, nepotism, kickbacks, non-monetary compensation & bribes, etc. This is probably just one particular cockroach that happened to get seen when the lights in the kitchen were turned on one night. But there's hundreds more back under the appliances and in the walls you didn't see.

Although I think adding more names is good (why not?), it seems like most people would be better served if the gTLDs were controlled by neutral groups rather than dollared interests or squatters.

Why not serve the new gTLDs through charities which operate registration and lookup at cost?
I agree with you and think you explained it well. There are also examples in MSFT acquisition history where there were bad purchases.
Not my point. To the person who's receiving your link:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9910153/20111022_131203.jpg

looks more or less identical to:

http://i1.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/000/720/180...

Both are direct links, and neither tell you much about the site that you're downloading the pictures from. The indirect link actually tells people that Dropbox exists as a service. Whether that's better for the end user or not isn't relevant to what I said.
> "Another example: the Internet usage of depressive people tended to exhibit high “flow duration entropy” — which often occurs when there is frequent switching among Internet applications like e-mail, chat rooms and games."

Surely most people switch between applications and mediums? If not, then I fall within the 'depressive' category. Dual monitors plus smart phones and an iPad don't help things.

> It's what I look for when new developers join any existing team I am on: what can they see that we can't.

Based on my experience, it would be unrealistic for a junior developer to expect this perspective at a new job. More realistic: here are the things that need to be done for this business to survive; please do them. Maybe some leeway in how you approach the problem. If they wanted unbiased eyes, the job listing would have said consultant, not junior developer.

Believe me, I hear what you're saying. I've tried it many times. For instance: "You don't check everything into source control? Oh my god, it's so basic, look how much better you guys could be doing your jobs!" Which, yeah, it would have been better. It also annoyed the people around me and destabilized the team, even as it improved the technology. Net loss for the company.

Having made this mistake over and over, I want to help others avoid it. Junior developers, know that if you find success in your job, your most important contributions to the company will not have been code. You will not bring some great insight to the table that makes everything faster/better/cheaper and wins you everyone's respect. You earn respect and admiration by working hard (not smart, hard!) and helping the people around you. Look up from your text editor, go talk to people, find out what they're doing, help them succeed.

That's where your focus should be as a junior. (Or as a senior, for that matter.) Helping others succeed. Questioning the status quo is a distraction and not as useful as you think, even if you're right and everyone else is wrong. Maybe especially if you're right.

Articles like this only depress me, making me realize that I'm a mere web developer and not even a REAL programmer, and in the realm of web developers probably not even remarkable. Which makes me probably LESS than mediocre as a programmer.

So much for moving up in the world.
Bossavit's book comes after McConnell's reply, and goes into more depth than the essay McConnell is replying to. Personally, I found the book more convincing. And having read what Bossavit had to go through to verify McConnell's references, I'm not convinced Greg Wilson did the same.

Rather than try to defend someone else's words, though, I'll just direct you to the book. You're going into a lot of detail critiquing quotes from an end-of-chapter summary, which isn't fair to Bossavit's work. I hope you'll read the book, because I'd like to hear your critique of the full work.
The parts that will be bottlenecking performance are parts that you wouldn't be able to upgrade in any normal laptop. The GPU is the most underwhelming part of the machine, because it can't keep up with the high resolution of the display. The resolution may also cause the CPU to be a bottleneck for some tasks that aren't totally offloaded to the GPU.

On the other hand, 16GB of RAM is plenty for quite some time, and the CPU's integrated memory controller can probably only handle 32GB at most, so offering standard SO-DIMM slots wouldn't really do that much to extend the usability of the machine. It's pretty much the same for the SSD: you can't get much faster without updating the SATA controller on the chipset, and 768GB will be a reasonable amount of storage for a laptop until the entertainment indrusty can settle on a standard for what to do with all the extra pixels on that display.

Pretty much all the "stakeholders" are from the "domain industry", so it's pretty obvious what their "consensus" would be. You're right that it's technically not a money grab by ICANN, but somebody is planning to make money and we've seen that people who work at ICANN can also profit from the revolving door.

No, we assumed that whoever owned .blog would sell subdomains at a reasonable profit to anyone who wants one. But now we learn that maybe only Blogger users will be able to use .blog. I can understand why they wouldn't sell subdomains of a brand name like .google, but for generic word TLDs we were assuming it would run like .com. Turns out there's no such restriction in the process AFAIK, and now it's too late to complain about a loophole that we didn't foresee.
Absolute twaddle. This is not science -- this is the science industry.

This work is so subjective on so many levels as to be worse than worthless -- rather than increasing humanities knowledge by even a modicum, this 'research' positively reduces human knowledge by simply adding noise. It's a shame that PhD's can't just lecture and are forced to do research. This is the crap we end up with.
There's a big difference between a brand name and a generic word. Also, nobody's asking for free domains.

This is why I labeled the quote "(apocraphal)". :) I first remember hearing it during the early days of Netflix---and I think it was Reed Hastings who said something similar to that effect as a quote of someone I can't remember now.

Less pressure. Whenever you feel guilty for leaving early, or slacking off, you can always justify yourself by saying "Ah well, I get underpaid anyway!"
This is the future of hackathons, free code days and weekend dev marathons.

Yet I'm not sure how soon any serious company will trust it with serious applications.

I'm not putting it down, this is incredible progress, the money (x millions in funding) behind it will give it a good amount of momentum, but it just seems a bit too easy, a bit too gimmicky to be taken seriously. I hope I'm wrong.
"They saw the applications coming in, therefore had information the rest of us didn't have."

But if you read and go through the application process (as well as the process leading up to this where everything was discussed and layed out) what those companies are doing is allowed. So the fact that they saw that companies did this has no effect.
It’s likely that the verdict is right and Mr.Gupta is guilty. However, I get the sense that he is caught because he is an outsider playing an insider game. The “old boys” club of White hedge fund guys who do this on a regular basis are protected enough to evade this fate.

Preet Bahrara (being Brown himself) finds it easier to go after the Indian guys than high powered White financiers. Will be great to see this proven wrong and White (All) crooks paying the price. Right now these guys are the white collar criminal equivalent of Blacks for lower level criminal activity – over represented due to race bias.
Really rad project, will be keen to watch this grow. Obviously this is not ready for real use yet, and unfortunately it seems to have stagnated for a month or so.

Currently, the best 'free' audio editor is Audacity, which for all its utility has a rather slow development process, and an awful GUI. I can envision a browser-based solution being rather useful in those two regards.

Not sure Twitter Bootstrap is the best option for the GUI though in this case.

I decided not to sign up for an invite but you almost had me. About 10 years ago or so a friend of mine and I were talking about creating something that analyzed what things you bought and then told you about where you can get it cheaper. At that time it really would't have been possible.

It's true I have seen deal alert sites but I thought you had the whole package here. I know you can't really find out what I bought at my supermarket by just looking at the credit card bill, but it'd be super neat if your site didn't tell me about the deals at supermarket A (I get that spam already) but instead find out that I buy skim milk, and let me know that supermarket B right down the road actually has it on sale this week so I should get it there instead. I want to keep buying the things I'm buying but be able to do so cheaper. Just like a gas app that finds the cheapest station, I want to know where the cheapest version of everything is that I buy regularly w/o having to look through ads or search myself or even tell a system what I buy. Build that and you got me. :)
I'm pretty sure Skout is for meeting new people. So they'll just sign up with the same names and a different email, and start fresh. In fact, we had to start blocking problem users by unique device ID. Nothing else would deter them.
