The issue with languages like C++ is, that you can follow better
programming practices, but the compiler doesn't support you in the
verification and accordingly you can't trust that easily your code,
which complicates the reasoning about a system a lot.

Having properties like immutability and pureness in your language
makes it lot easier to trust your code and to reason about it.

It appears that no one who has commented so far has used Flash on ICS.

I use Flash on my Galaxy Nexus, and it runs perfectly fine for everything I want to look at. Sure, it's rubbish for things like games and full-flash websites (the latter should be long gone by now anyway) but for watching Flash videos on news websites it's fantastic, and it works just as well as it does on the desktop.

I want Flash gone as much as the next guy, but video on HTML5 is no more usable.

Whether something 'runs' vs whether it's 'slow' are entirely different matters. Eclipse still hangs and stutters while using it with generally nothing else of substance running on the machine. It's better under linux than osx, but it's still there. Intellij has far fewer of these hangs/pauses, although it has some too. Looking fwd to java 1.7 to help reduce these issues.

Really good article, at first I started reading on the defensive because I am a serial entrepreneur. For 28 years of my life I never had a payroll check from anyone but my own companies. It was amazing and painful at the same time. I thought about starting my sixth company and I got a chance to be an SVP at a very large public company. I did that for a while and really enjoyed it and actually moved on to a new company now were I'm an executive and get to do a lot of cool stuff.

I often debate on going back to start company six, and many saturdays my circle of friends hold "startup circle" where we pitch ideas and push a couple small projects forward and debate on quitting our real jobs and going back to building another company.

I would say the best realization of this article is that entrepreneur is a state of mind. A willingness to create from nothing in the face of extreem adversity. I have been a developer for close to 30 years now also and it's very much like that first couple of hours when you stare at the blank screen thinking about the 100,000's of lines of code needed to build whatever system it is you're about to build. Except it's more addicting then that because the scale is so much larger and your "vision" collides with "reality" and becomes something you can influence but often you end up along for the ride.

I personally would bet it's the same reason professional bull rider's ride bulls. Most of us look at them like they're insane but they have this zen approach to managing risk and the randomness of the bull trying to kill them. And when they beat the other guy the "high" must be quite insane.

Entrepreneurs suffer from the same sort of bold blindness. I have spoken with many people over the years who ask me "how can you do that, how do you get out of bed every day and just push forward" and I tell them I just like the challenge. To them they see me risking my family, my house, my car and my career to do something that scares them to death. To me I see the opportunity to express something that burns in the core of my soul and make something from nothing on a scale that should scare me but really just excites me!

I think the saying "40 years of work in 4 years" is a bit unfair, the reality is if you love what you do and are passionate about it you can work like this in a company that already exists or a mid-term C round start-up and have a lot of fun and potentially be well rewarded. That part is just the workaholic that might give an entrepreneur slight edge and a chance to ride the bull just a bit longer then the next guy.
There was a discussion in the "Craigslist Crusher" thread a few days ago that basically pointed out that because Craigslist's main advantage over everyone else is its user base, and not its pretty site or awesome features, it would be foolish for them to offer an API, in which others could mooch off the user base. I tend to agree: From a business standpoint, a Craigslist API has more cons than pros.
Well, that's sort of my point... serial entrepreneurs are the norm. Perhaps we should come up with a term for those rare entrepreneurs who are satisfied with a single attempt at the business game...

When I'm stuck in the wilderness with nothing but an atom based netbook tethered to a patchy and expensive GPRS connection, I beg to differ.

Anyway, it isn't just about your bandwidth to your desktop - if each user is transferring less it can be significant for the server-side.

If they make proper efforts to maintain 1.9.x for a goodly amount of time the "hitting a bug in one version but not the other" issue shouldn't be more significant than the current "hitting a bug in a third party library (jQuery) which I don't have the expertise to locate+fix" issue that we already have to consider. Of course the "if" at the start of that sentence could be cause for concern but I think the jQuery project has done well enough at QA in the past for me to give them the benefit of the doubt (or at least to reserve judgment) at this point.

I am affiliated with one of the sites JDownloader supports, and they certainly did not ask us for approval. Whatever you try to stop them is futile, since they can react quickly.

JDownloader breaks our business model since we don't have premium accounts, but in the end you have no other choice but to accept that some people are leechers.

So, please don't think you're doing good when using tools like that and advocating their use.

I can't understand why they haven't just made FP open source... Flash on the web is maybe dead, but it is still usable for kiosks, games and AIR-related stuff (AIR used to be a best idea for platform-independent wrapper of active PDFs, thus killing it is a strike into this technology). So it is possible to sustain the Flash market for years with minimal costs...
Funny I thought the same thing, I've been in business for almost 30 years now and I can still call people I worked with 25 years ago and they will work with me in an instant. The number of times I have looped back around and ran into the same people over and over is funny. Especially considering over time I have moved through many different industries.

The golden rule applies to to entrepreneurs too. Karma is a bitch and worth paying attention to in life as in business.

اجابة امتحان التاريخ 3 ثانوي 2012
In the US what matters with something that consists of an aggregation of facts is how much creativity is involved in selecting and arranging and presenting the facts. (I said "aggregation of facts" rather than the more natural "collection of facts" because a "collective" has specific meaning in copyright law and I didn't want that to lead to any confusion).

The most important case in this area is FEIST PUBLICATIONS, INC. v. RURAL TELEPHONE SERVICE CO., 499 U.S. 340 (1991). In this case, the Court rejected the idea that copyright is meant to reward effort (the so-called "sweat of the brow" theory) and they based this on Constitutional considerations rather than on a reading of the copyright statute. The Constitution requires that there be some creativity, although they said that the amount required is not very much--a spark of creativity is enough.

In the case of Feist, what was being copied was a telephone book. The entries consisted of all subscribers, in alphabetical order, and the company that produced the book was required by law to produce it. The Court said that there was no creativity in this, and so there could be no copyright even though making the directory took considerable time and money.

If the directory had been a subset of subscribers, selected in some way that shows creativity, arranged in some creative way, then copyright would have been possible.

Yes, it’s very strange (and annoying) that it doesn’t disappear. With the swipe-to-switch-tabs gesture, there’s even less reason to show it permanently than in Mobile Safari.
Yes, unfortunately it is for OS X Safari only http://www.verticalforest.com/youtube5-extension/.

But it does show you can get on just fine without Flash. There is no equivalent Chrome extension. I don't know why. A completely Flash free experience is the reason I use Safari.

Because gaming. Pretty much any graphics operation you can do in Flash can be done with Javascript and Canvas. But it requires writing several times as much code, runs about 20% of the speed and consumes most of the CPU to do simple tasks.

For example, lets say you want to create a little green radar HUD map for where enemies are on a battlefield in front of you. In AS3 you can make each enemy dot be a sprite, and move them individually when necessary. You can mask them when they reach the edge of the HUD, fade them out when they disappear. When you turn left or right, they all turn together. Because of how Flash's graphics engine works, only the graphical areas that are changed in each frame are actually redrawn; this is all handled at a very low level and the speed is close to native; it can also be coded to take advantage of a GPU.

To accomplish the same thing in Javascript and Canvas, you have to write an engine that tracks where each of those things is in global space. To draw little rectangles at different rotations within the same canvas, you actually have to rotate the canvas, draw the rectangle, then unrotate the canvas. Once you've got this engine written, you still have to redraw the entire canvas with your engine deciding how to draw each pixel, square or circle, one by one, with every single frame. To get around that, you write another engine that determines which areas are changing and only redraws those. But then you have to decide what to do when overlapping objects are in front of or behind that area, so now you've written a scene graph, z-order and a traverser, and possibly parent-child relationships, from scratch. Fine, but you realize that the traverser, running as it is in untyped javascript without the benefit of typed iterators like vectors, can't handle more than a dozen objects before it's hogging up even more of the CPU than if you just redrew the whole stupid canvas every single frame.

So, all this behavior is necessary for any game. Good coders are struggling to make these things playable in HTML5 to keep the mobile market happy, but to do that you have to cut a lot of corners. The game quality's obviously lower, and the games are slower than they would be in AS3. It's just unavoidable. People who don't know how computers work then complain that Flash is so slow, etc. because of the perception of sloppily coded banners and stuff. But when the same exact things are written in Javascript and Canvas they are much, much slower.
Nice site. I'd like a little bit more context though for this post, as the site was designed by a large team specializing in dental websites.

So that means I can't actually congratulate the team, as it is their job to make sites this nice.

That said, good website. I'm assuming you're Dr. Blackwood?

Isn't a serial entrepreneur any entrepreneur that hasn't created a company as large as Google or Apple or Microsoft?

In tech, it's possible to iterate indefinitely until reaching such size that it no longer requires a completely new company to be motivated to go on.

I'm sure there is a reason; Google doesn't seem to be selling all hardware at cost. Nexus Q at $299 suggests so.

Just trying to understand what economic reasoning led Google to decide to sell Nexus 7 at cost. I don't get it from where I stand.
Note simply throwing hardware at it won't solve all performance cases. Some sites[1] are using RC4 for their symmetric encryption. AES is a popular scheme but it's not the only one used.

Technicalities. It still doesn't sit right to hog the default web browser handler. Safari for iOS is pretty rudimentary. I am mostly annoyed by the constant refreshes, even when I hit the back button.

No. No. No.

Pen Type-A is a cautionary tale of overestimating your abilities, and of why Kickstarter is unlikely to have any sort of transformative impact.

Having read through the "updates" section of their Kickstarter page, it is clear to me that nobody on the team knows anything about manufacturing, least of all Chinese manufacturing. I am completely unsurprised by the fact that two amateurs end up making lots of amateurish mistakes.

This situation is no different from what happens when a non-technical manager tries to outsource a software development project. He doesn't know enough to spot good working practices or recognise when he's being fobbed off. He doesn't understand the myriad technical issues that could completely derail a project. He's a child in the big bad world, unaware of how little he knows, or how costly his naivety could be.

What you describe is a quite normal business relationship with a Chinese company.

There is always the "unreasonable counter offer" once they know there is almost no way back for you. There is always yelling (but not insulting!), that's a normal part of the negotiation process.

It sounds to me like your "manufacturer" is already the distrubutor of whatever-pen-you-invented in Asia. Its not uncommon that they produce for their client and then produce another batch for themselves and sell it in China. Kinda like Zuckerberg did when he made Facebook while "working for" some other dudes. Standard practise in China.

Anyway, producing something inovative in China usually means having somebody there to check up in person and each step of the way. And spell out the contract very precisely down to the last screw. Never expect "reasonableness", it is always seen as an opportunity to make a few extra bucks. And a mainland Chinese company boss will discuss for a whole day to gain 10 Kuai extra.

Ymmv, that's only my personal experience after some years in China.
Sorry Jeff. The only thing broken with PHP is you (and other people like you).

How much PHP do you use Jeff? Lets assume none. How is PHP hurting you? I mean seriously, how much contact do you even have with PHP?

PHP is easy to learn, easy to make websites with. There are a tonne of paying jobs which require PHP. PHP runs a lot of websites.

I am a PHP developer. I prefer Python but my PHP job pays me just fine. There are a lot of things about PHP that I don't like but it gets the job done just fine. You can write reasonable code with PHP. You can write secure code with PHP.

The main people who have problems with PHP are either ex-PHP developers who usually have gone on to Ruby and look back and fire a few shots at PHP. Or people like Jeff Atwood. Undeniably smart and talented programmers who for some reason are irked by the mere existence of PHP.

Please get over yourself.
