A later comment points out a microwave that does this (also the one ricardobeat mentioned):

»My 1990’s Sanyo Microwave has a “boomerang turntable”, meaning the turntable always returns to its starting point. It turns for a few seconds after the oven stops, until a micro-switch, driven by a cam on the shaft, is tripped.

The period or revolution happens to be exactly 12 seconds. (Has a synchronous motor?) I know this because any multiple of 12 seconds means the turntable stops immediately.«
for k-12 edu, yes.

Yep, reddit is 4chan for soccer moms. There's not much real creativity going on there.
There is a repeating pattern I don't understand with these hiring posts:

1. The need for a programmer which is in the top 1%, nothing else will do.

2. How important is to hire that programmer but still they don't have time to read the resumes. Instead of that they write a lengthy blog post.

3. Why they assume people is passionate about working in a company they don't know.

These stories about the "post-PC future" always make me laugh, I still dont see people working on iPads in real offices where you do REAL work.

The future of computing is going to be fragmented. Not unified by a single tablet model.

Every time something new comes up we always get the same BS: "netbooks are going to replace computers". "iPhones are going to replace computers", "ipads are going to replace computers".

Give me a break.
Computers don't make decisions yet, and if they did, we should give them the same rights we have, including free speech.

I'm not sure I follow Gruber's post here...

I thought Gruber's point was very clear: Consumer expectations have shifted such that companies which survive (read: profit) are those which make money from reasonably priced hardware while the software is sold at low, low prices. The phenomenal, decades-long profitability of Microsoft has been based on consumers behaving in an opposite way: paying bare-minimum prices for hardware but a premium for software.

The computer hardware industry is lined up to favor the hardware makers. They can also make the software (like Apple does with iOS) or they can acquire it at low cost (like Samsung using Android), but the profits come from hardware. The Surface, no matter how good it may or may not be since no can reasonably evaluate it yet, is a testament to Microsoft recognizing this shift.

Really, the details of the market shift are irrelevant. The point is that the market is moving away from what has made Microsoft profitable, and the company has publicly (if in some ways indirectly) shown it understands this. The Surface (and Windows 8), despite how important it may be to the future of Microsoft, is most notable for the change it represents Microsoft making in its approach to profitability.

to address meric's concerns. It's a really great way imo to have a big dropdown.
The ruling that the APIs were not copyrightable was directly tied to the details of the specific APIs in this case. Among other things, this is because existing Ninth Circuit caselaw was unfavorable to an absolute bar on API copyrights, so Judge Alsup couldn't easily rule on the law independently of the case in front of him. To make an analogy, he could have found a phone number or address uncopyrightable as a general rule, but to decide if a copied portion of a book is copyrightable he has to look at what's in it (both the portion and the book as a whole).

Appeals courts aren't supposed to overturn factual findings unless they are "clearly erroneous". Judge Alsup was careful with his findings and he has experience with programming that the selected appeals-court judges are unlikely to have. While it is theoretically possible they'd second-guess his factual findings, it would be a very big stretch. And if you take his factual findings as-is, it becomes pretty hard to challenge his legal interpretation of those facts (especially since none of the coverage I've read suggests that his legal reasoning was unusual or controversial).

It isn't impossible for Oracle to win on appeal, but their changes are slim. Beyond that, if they win on appeal all they get is a do-over on the API copyright question (and it is unclear what the parameters of that do-over would be). Given that we know that the jury deadlocked at 9-3 in favor of Google on fair use (and was 11-1 in Google's favor earlier in the deliberations), even if Oracle got their do-over the odds are against them winning anything meaningful from it.

As a regular Apple user (iphone/ipad/macbook air are my main tools), in my eyes Gruber is jumping the shark here. He comments on the structure of the event, his own feelings watching it. He comments on what information that has not yet been released. He clearly wants to move focus away from the hardware itself. Perhaps because it is just a little too awesome to come from MS?

Bellevue Massage Therapy Treatment and It’s Importance
What is the importance of deep tissue, treatment massage therapy following an injury caused from whiplash? This is a question that many people ask me as a doctor of chiropractic. As a specialist in postural correction and rehabilitation I often work with massage therapists to co-manage a patients condition immediately following a car accident.

The benefits attained from deep tissue, treatment massage therapy is very broad reaching. Some of the biggest benefits received from a medical massage which involves deep tissue work is the reduction in muscle tension, myospasms and the elimination of trigger points.

I like this article as an excellent behind-the-scenes of all the prep work that goes into a talk.

That said, one key element is missing: the enthusiasm/delivery of the talk itself. What I mean is it's not enough to know the talk -- you also have to "know" the enthusiasm.

Personally, I think this is the hardest part, because enthusiasm is usually built up between people (as in you are talking to a friend, they get more excited, so do you, and each feeds off the other). When you present, there is no "other person" to feed off of, meaning you have to create that mood all by yourself. Presenters who do this are very desirable to listen to, regardless of what they're presenting.

"In the spring of 2008, I was trying to submit 4 papers to FOCS, during my job interview
season. Needless to say, this was a challenging experience. I had an interview at Google scheduled two days before the deadline, and I made an entirely unrealistic plan to go to New
York with the 5am train, after working through the night. By 5am, I had a serious headache
and the beginning of a cold, and I had to postpone the interview at the last minute. However,
this proved to be a very auspicious incident. As I was lying on an MIT couch the next day
trying to recover, I had an entirely unexpected revelation: the 4-dimensional lower bound
could be proved by a series of reductions from lopsided set disjointness! This got developed
into the set of reductions in [82], and submitted to the conference. I owe my sincere apologies
to the Google researchers for messing their schedules with my unrealistic planning. But in
the end, I’m glad things hapenned this way, and the incident was clearly good for science."

I'm not saying I'm a big fan of Gruber's (I never listened to his Talk Show, and removed him from my "daily" reading list because I consider what he did to 5by5 unethical, but I read him every few days because he's a fan of Kubrick, and finds great links). I just don't want to be represented with spec sheets and charts over and over and over again. Tech blogs and columns mostly repeat the same thing (what you almost always know), and when they tell you about their feelings, they're usually really narrow-minded and most of the time fail to understand their use cases (them being some sort of "journalist") differs dramatically with most people's ("iPad's gonna fail because it doesn't have hardware keyboards, which means I have to bring a keyboard with me when I'm going to conferences 6-7 times a month").
I had never met Mihai but I knew of his work and had read his blog many times. This is a sad loss. The same day, June 5, I also lost a dear and incredibly brilliant friend long before his time. Much too much talent to be lost in one day. My condolences to those who knew him directly.

It is important to remember that Apple hasn't succeeded in commoditizing end-user software all by themselves.

Scoreoid Video Session at Casual Connect Kyiv 2012

I agree with your idea that the future will be a fragmented one. And obviously there are still a lot of desktops and laptops at offices.

In my work for a digital agency we have a lot of projects going with tablets (well let's be honest it's all iPads) to work as replacement for laptops for certain processes and situations. There are so many real-life processes happening today where toting a laptop around is really not ideal and tablets have some awesome characteristics which make them a great second or third device for some job descriptions, but also a first device for others.

For pump installers for instance a laptop is a pain in the ass. They all have one, but they never bring it out of the car with them because it's heavy, has poor battery life and is really impractical when you're working in a dusty, dark environment. A tablet on the other hand serves them well. They can bring it with them. Hang it on a pipe somewhere and watch that installation video or look up that manual that they are needing. Battery life is so that they don't have to charge it all week. Everybody wins.

Don't mean to get carried away, but the world is really full of people doing "real work" where laptops and desktops are just not the best solution.

He's right about that, though. The Windows RT Surface is rumored to cost at least $600, and that's with only a 1366x768 resolution display, and a Tegra 3 chip. A similar tablet with Android would go for $400 at most. By the time Surface gets released, they will cost $300, so half the price.

Plus, Windows RT/Metro has no ecosystem yet, whatsoever. Even if Android has only a few thousand or whatever tablet apps, it still has all the other 500,000 phone apps, and most of them should work on tablets.

> Don't mean to get carried away, but the world is really full of people doing "real work" where laptops and desktops are just not the best solution.

I'm sure there is. But by far, most businesses still need laptops and proper desktops to work. Sometime you need a big screen. Most of the time you want to have a keyboard, a good one, to type fast. You want to have the precision of the mouse of do things on screen. ANd you need power. A portable device, no matter how good it is, is constrained by ventilation, temperature limits, processor speed, space, and so on. For the price of an iPad you get a much more powerful desktop computer.

Tablets have advantages as consumer devices, as presentation devices, as "reader / browsing" devices. They are convenient. I do not deny that. But they simply won't replace everything else.

And the reason why the iPad sells so well is because it's a disposable device at heart. Whenever a new iPad comes out, most of the previous iPad owners drop their older version to get the new one. (same for the iPhone, by the way). Usually computer users keep their PCs active for way longer than that.
The quote is out of context: In case of infinite reserve (and infinite time to place your bets ;)), there are no catastrophic losses which would stop you from betting again.

The problem with always doubling your wager is that the exponential growth will eventually reach any finite limit in case of a run of 'bad luck'. Without limit, that's not an issue and you'll only lose when you never win any bet, which 'almost surely' won't happen.

No, did you read that article?

My problem with Go is that it does not have sum-types and pattern-matching. This means that branching (conditionals) in Go do not gain any type-information. And that means that programmers have to manually keep track of the invariants that hold true in each of their conditionals, and if they get them wrong, they get no help from the compiler.
I never implied that it's morally or even economically equivalent to any other business model--nothing says that all business models have to be morally or economically equivalent. But it is a business model very much like an illegal and dishonest lottery (e.g. people put money in with the hope of getting more out).

And yet, despite the fact that it is a business model, society does not condone it. The fundamental point, of which this is a very extreme example, is that there is no inherent right to a business model.
Your view of business roles is flawed. The programmer has to do those things but also know the marketplace better than the business analyst. the programmer has to guide the less capable and new programmers on the team. The BA can't. The programmer has to set up the Continuous integration server, issue tracking system, source control repository, and use all of these things that the PM is reading about with amazement. In fact these things are an insignificant afterthought to the programmer, who has learned how to set up administer and use multiple tools of each.
