> "US Mountain Standard Time" (used by Outlook) is the same as "US/Arizona" (used by PHP among others).

It's not quite that simple. During Daylight Saving Time, Arizona stays on US Mountain Standard Time; i.e., it's the same as Pacific Daylight Time and one hour behind Mountain Daylight Time. During the rest of the year, Arizona is on the same time as the rest of Mountain Standard Time, or one hour ahead of Pacific Time.
Component-izing Backbone views is a fantastic idea, and something I'm doing pretty frequently with Planscope.

Your average jQuery plugin has you modifying state via invoking the plugin again on a selector with like a string argument that represents a function - this always felt clunky to me.

However, by using Backbone views to wrap logic, componentInstance.hide() or whatever else is doable, and IMO a lot more elegant. Nice work!

To me your version is less clearer than the explicit if calls:

* Name 'map' for a variable is a poor choice (as it has same
name as the python builtin function map)

* Your version has off by one error, it doesn't give correct results when called with a single element list or if the list has three elements:

>>>mymap = [
lambda args: (0, args[0], 1),
lambda args: (args[0], args[1], 1),
lambda args: args,
]

>>>args = [5]

>>>mymap[len(args)](args)
IndexError
Traceback (most recent call last)
....
# This shouldn't be the case, a list with a single
# element is a valid input

>>>args = [1,6,1]

>>>mymap[len(args)](args)
IndexError Traceback (most recent call last)
...

# This shouldn't be the case, a list with a three
# elements is a valid input
OpenStreetMap is another example that uses huge XML files. I'm not sure I really like the idea, but it does happen, and if you need the data then you have to be able to deal with it somehow even if you don't like the format.
What part is incorrect? The OP claims the setting was set before and now it isn't set anymore. Telling him/her how to put it back doesn't address that....

To add to @tinylittlefish's reply here, it might also have to do with perceived value. To the user, it feels like she will be getting an app within the quality range usually associated with $5 apps, but is able to get it for only 2 bucks. Something like that.
I wonder why they choose not to use native input element for a checkbox. Was it for a consistent visual theme?

Using custom widgets instead of native often leads to usability issues. In this case, when the a checkbox gains focus, a SPACE BAR scrolls the page instead of toggling its state.

I think there's a bit more than just OEMs and gaming preventing Linux from overtaking the desktop. When netbooks first began they were mostly linux for cost cutting. Games also wouldn't have been an issue because netbooks weren't sold as gaming machines. In any case the market wholly rejected Linux on the netbook in favor of windows.
You've got it entirely wrong. Most of these "mistakes" are deliberate. See here for a link to the discussion on Quora:

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4009653

And yes, I notice how your title is a clever mock of the things you're pointing out. It's all in capitals, and it has a spelling error. Very good.

It's also against the HN site guidelines.

And irritating.
No, there are two problems here.

The first is that you're insisting on excerpting from the "How to React to Every Situation" book. Your claim is that "if you are oppressed, you should always stand your ground". No exceptions. No compromises. Every deviation from the right and true way is a failure.

This is wrong.

The second is that the entire condescending piece of advice is being offered as if she hadn't already done it. You seem to feel that, because her first and immediate reaction was not confrontational, this makes her a failure. It doesn't matter that, the second time, she did stand up for herself and did speak up. You only care about the first time.

Why?

Victim-blaming is reinforcing a victim's status as victim by giving unwanted and unneeded advice. It's saying, "You poor wretch. If only you worked harder, you'd be as awesome as me. Work harder." That is what you are doing.

How can a product that hasn't shipped yet be 'ahead of the curve'? I have an iPad in my bag right now. Microsoft aren't even on the curve yet.

Apple also started blending elements of the iOS UI into OS X, such as multi-touch gestures over a year ago. Maybe MS will leapfrog them. Surface does look interesting, I'm not discounting it, but we'll have to see where Apple and Microsoft stand relative to each other when Surface actually ships.

I'm curious, what data did the XML files contain?
I did find this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.digitalscr...

Does anyone know how it compares to Speak for Yourself?
Still working through it; a pleasant collection of UI components that, as they say, will be useful to some.

But what stands out is the quality of documentation. Very impressive and clear.
> They're absolutely ahead of the curve with the blending of mobile and desktop operating systems

They probably are, yes. It's still far from clear that that's something that anyone wants.
That imho seems like overcomplicating a relatively straight-forward piece of code without noticeable improvement. In the original code the intent is clear from the first line ("check the number of arguments"), but in your version I have to parse 7 lines of code before I find out that. Also in your code I'm required to keep larger, more complicated state (the map array) in my head when reading it. Your version also looks like it would perform worse than the original. Imho code that looks like it performs suboptimally is code that looks ugly, even if the performance difference in reality would be negligible.
Re: Free text and web
Unfortunately, it may be a bit too idealistic. The main problem is adoption. Even with an awesome product, it won't necessarily get adopted well enough to reach critical mass. Even if its free. Keep in mind, a lot of these brick and mortar stores are run by people who know little more than a cash register - not everybody has (or wants to have) experience with more advanced devices.
They can track response rates for particular flyers by pointing them at different URLs. Measurable A/B testing for physical advertising.
No, actually. There are a couple of third-party development tools for iOS which only compile to ARM (and which therefore can't run in the iOS simulator), notably Adobe Air for mobile, and that Delphi for iOS thing. 99.999%, though; anything written in Xcode, and anything written with the majority of third-party tools, has been run in the simulator.

QoS in your router is only interesting if bandwidth is constrained in your last mile, otherwise it just adds complexity. I would think that QoS in home routers is only a transitional technology for the next few years while not everyone has a large enough pipe yet.

Can you imagine your electricity or water outlet at home being constrained like bandwidth is? Those issues were solved a century ago, they'll get fixed for bandwidth too within our lifetime.
Nope, the S3 is clearly the winner according to most reports.
Mixing JavaScript and the C-Preprocessor
Yes, obviously. It is a question of magnitude. Here, the worst sexism is maybe job discrimination, but usually not even that because most employers do not want to risk lawsuits, and in fact actively try to diversify. Even still, this is a relatively trivial problem. Do we stone women to death here for cheating? Or not allow them to do (virtually) anything without their husband's permission? Like I said, there are bigger wars to fight. Let's not waste breath because someone thinks you can't play a video game, and you assume its because they are sexist.
You seem to think a SfY app on a different platform would not be taken down. Apple took the app down after a simple letter from the patent holder. The patent holder could have asked for relief in court, enumerating the infringing apps. IANAL, but that's a common request in patent cases, and usually granted by the court. All app stores would have to comply then, however free (or non-totalitarian), maybe even removing the already installed apps.
Maybe a stupid question: but do you need iTunes to install an .ipa file? I've seen some programs that can just install these files on any iDevice without the use of iTunes.

And isn't Xcode and an Apple acount enough to sign the app?

Netbooks are not desktops. The market rejected netbooks altogether in favour of notebooks and tablets.

Fantastic JavaScript -- but styling mechanism leaves a lot to be desired. I understand beautiful graphics are not the scope of this work, however, the CSS-only approach might not be flexible enough for most designers.

That's just battery life... wait until we see what the heat will be like! Seriously, even my Macbook Air gets hot under mild load -- the only reason I tolerate it is because it sits on a desk.

Fans and vents on a tablet... I just can't see that catching on for many people. The ARM model is more promising, but this competes much more closely with the iPad.

Also, the video was very funny with the pen input -- his palm interferes with the initial demo and 20 seconds later he's talking about their amazing palm rejection technology. Don't even get me started on the fact that none of the presenters seemed able to get the swipe-in-from-the-side gesture to work on the first try.
How to Safeguard your Kids from Cyberbullying?

I didn't go through the hassle of creating a throw away twitter account so I could explore. To get feedback on the project you need to remove this hurdle. Let us see some features/examples on the landing page:

Step 1: Integrate with Google Analytics
Step 2: Push Popular Content to Facebook and Twitter (show a sample tweet & fb feed item maybe)
Step 3: Automatically create beautiful email alerts (show a 'beautiful' email example)

I like the idea but it all depends on the execution. I'd want some assurances that I wouldn't be spamming people. Some sort of approval queue would be good so I could see what cansend recommends and then approve/deny/merge these proposed tweets/feed items/emails before they go out.
DREAMer Fire: How Undocumented Youth Hacked The Political System
Have wrestled with the same idea and variations of it for years.

As others have pointed out, getting local businesses to use it will be problematic for a number of reasons. So, another variation would be to turn it on its head and make a 'I want something' system - something for people to signal what they're looking for - and make these requests available to any local business to watch/review and respond to. The kicker would be they'd have to respond pretty quickly.

If I'm looking for X - I may not even know exactly what X is - but I describe X as best I can - few words or exact UPC or whatever - along with my city/location/area, then start getting response/offers back to me within a few minutes. Perhaps I put a time limit on it - I need to know in the next 30 minutes. If I get, say, 3 offers back telling me store ABC has it for $y and store DEF has it for $z, I can go to either location, or contact them back and arrange a deal, or just ignore them because it's too high.

It's not the instant gratification tied with realtime inventory propose here, but it's a step in the right direction. And once you have one half built, and see the signals/searches people are putting in, you can more easily convince local retailers to participate. Perhaps they pay a subscription to review a feed, which they can tie in with automated systems, or they pay a fee on a per response basis (almost like a slowed-down turn by turn google adwords).

I'm available to talk about this idea more at mgkimsal@gmail.com if you want :)

Yes, it always strikes me as newbie amateur code when software uses timestamps to check for file modifications.

I'm looking at you Xcode...

I hit this problem once 10 years ago and learned the lesson ffs.
I've seen a lot of replies to this of the form "how about they use [URLs/NFC/etc.]", but how are those options at all better than printing out all the product specs?

Surely having the specifications printed out and mounted in an emplacement next to the product is better than having to scan/touch/type some sort of digital tag.

If it is about paper use, how about they stop using flip books full of paper numbers set next to each other to display prices before worrying about replacing some measly product spec sheets with QR codes.

(EDIT: reviews are definitely a fair use of this sort of thing, and I had forgotten that they were a thing while replying.)
This has been around for years...

Why Africa needs Walmart
> At first glance what is ClearType HD Display, some sort of Retina?

They say "ClearType HD display" and "ClearType Full HD display". I'd take this to mean 720p and 1080p respectively, so a bit of a way off "retina" in the iPad context.
The myth is "Time always moves equally forward everywhere".

jeffgreco's reply addresses it, but just to clarify, I wasn't thinking about mirrored dvorak keyboards or stuff I don't even know exists. More things like Canadian qwerty or japanese JIS keyboards, that are main stream in each country but will need special effort for Microsoft to manufacture. The ipad avoids the problem entirerly.
It could be taken off the Android market, but Google doesn't forbid alternative installation modes. It's not foolproof, but at least with Android you own the software and can install it without having to go through a corporate monolith like Google/Apple.
They could have so easily gotten around that by just calling it "Metro" and doing a clean break. Then just promise everyone that windows isn't going away and imply that there will/might still be a windows 8 which would be a continuation of windows as we all know it for PCs.

Then all the ARM devices (phones, tablets, etc) and also XBOX uses "Metro". Just Metro, no mentions of Windows. If people like it, THEN windows 8 could use parts of Metro or start to resemble it in a way. (In a manner similar to the "back to the mac" stuff in OSX Lion and Mountain Lion) If not, well they can still use windows for many years just like people stuck with XP and eventually there will be a windows 7+1 of some kind for them.

But by calling the phone OS windows phone 7 and by completely changing windows 8 people are in a panic. I can only imagine what their "enterprise" customers must be thinking.

Plus now the phone OS is "version 7" which coincides with the old pc-os style windows but it is the only thing actually using Metro and windows 8 has no mention of metro and is the only one that's new style.. so is 7 or 8 or 360 or 720 the number to associate with the new style? Should any number be associated with it? If not, then why _start_ the completely new phone OS at number 7? Why call the near complete break version 8? etc.

tl;dr: If they did a complete break and didn't call it Windows, then no one's first reaction would be "Jack of all trades, master of none."

It looks pretty nice and it works well enough for static pages.

But if you're generating the UI from JavaScript, it really doesn't cooperate.

It also has various performance problems, especially on Android (since its authors appear to prefer iOS). It creating tons of DOM elements doesn't help either.
Classes? Where We’re Going, We Don’t Need Classes (CSS)
CSS3 is very powerful these days and you can do amazing things without resorting to graphics.

Where you absolutely cannot avoid a graphic (like having an icon or something), the use of pictographic fonts is becoming increasingly popular. Mostly due to reasons of scalability to different resolutions on different devices.
Agreed. This seems great, but ditching standard form elements for a bunch of divs and spans generally ends up an accessibility nightmare.

Backbone.UI.Button = an anchor tag with a span inside rather than a button tag.
Backbone.UI.Checkbox = an anchor containing some divs rather than an input[type=checkbox].
Radio group and Pulldown give similar output.
I don't own any sort of tablet or ultrabook (eg. mac air) or e-reader (kindle) because I don't like throwing money around. What I want is:

- Read ebooks/pdfs
- Browse the web
- Work (a text editor and git)

Ideally I would also like to:
- Download & watch videos/movies
- Something to hook-up to my TV

There is nothing in the market that can do these things. I could get a Kindle for reading, an iPad for browsing the web, and an ultrabook for work. This device is something I would buy (assuming a reasonable price) but the one drawback I see is Windows. Maybe Windows nowadays is a lot better than before and maybe it'll give it a chance. It all depends on the pricing.

If you look at many iOS libs they are actually fat binaries, meaning they usually have x86, armv6, and armv7 executable code in them.

On iOS cross-compilation only occurs when you target an iOS device such as an iPhone which generates armv6 and armv7 code.
