I never found a good way to silo the .o and .d files though, the way I do it is put the main makefile in a separate dir from the tree so all the clutter can accumulate there.

This is a terrible, terrible idea. There are a few Python frameworks which have tried similar things, but Model-View-Controller was invented for a reason.

On second thought: maybe Android's permissions are broken and too generic. An app has a legit reason to want to know whether a call is active (to shut off playback), but the permission gives the app other abilities that they can abuse, like device serial number and phone number.
> The deal comes only a matter of weeks after the E3 expo, at which Gaikai's chief executive David Perry flat out denied there was any deal between the two companies.

Never ever believe anything that comes out of a person's mouth. This especially includes start-up founders and even yours truly (me).

Everything is for sale.

But in this case, I actually have no idea what Sony is actually buying? Could someone enlighten me as to why this is worth $380 million? It appears to be a super low latency video streamer/pusher with backend rendering and licensing agreements with various game publishers.

> Fortune reported that the cloud-based game streaming company hired bankers to help it find a buyer and expected a deal "well in excess" of $500 million.

Never ever believe anything written by Forbes or any other business publication (or any publication - period). If governments are bought and paid for (I kid), what does that make a business magazine?

Ouch, thanks for pointing that out. Rephrased it now.
True, REPLs are possible in Vim. Terminals are possible, too. It's not that anything is impossible (it's software, right? So anything is possible), but how easy it is.

Emacs was built for that. Vim was not. Which by the way does not say anything good or bad about either of them. But I would dare say that Vim is most commonly used alongside a terminal, whereas Emacs users tend to run terminals inside Emacs. Hence your normal workflow would be to run iPython alongside Vim or within Emacs.
cheers, I can tell you do! Thanks.

Why should they be? I used to jailbreak, but Apple added almost every feature I needed and now it takes JBers 3-6 months to jailbreak the latest iOS, so I don't bother with jailbreak anymore and install iOS 6 the minute it comes out (and profit).
I've always wondered...how do you go about discussing such things as recommendations/references in this situation? If you are one of the employee's only employers, you'll likely be one of his/her only references...

Do you talk about the situation? And how much of is it contingent on the circumstances of their leaving (obviously a reference would be out of the question if the firing was for severe misconduct)?
> Nobody seriously criticizing PHP is ridiculing people working with it.

I rarely see this. I've found it hard to find a good criticism of PHP that doesn't find a way to insult it's user base.

Probably the best criticism of PHP has come from Jeff Atwood's recent post[1] (and even he couldn't go the post without slinging immature, and downright vulgar insults).

I wonder if there's a way to replicate/simulate this with a longer ttl on the pages served out of your cdn, and a bit of javascript that pings a lighter weight server only asking for deltas, and updates the page in place (or reloads the entire page from the cdn when the deltas get too big).

Violent koans aren't particularly common, they just stand out. However, they do reflect a fundamentally destructive aspect of spiritual practice, namely, that it undermines the conditioning behind cherished identities. The point of the story is that the boy was chasing after validation as a Zen master and had adopted the finger-raising ritual as a part of his identity as a competent Zen practitioner. When Gutei cut it off, he was removing a support for a cherished identity, and this was the basis for the boy's identity at that moment.

Intel's position is disingenuous at best. The SYSRET instruction was introduced by AMD long before Intel added support for it, so it was entirely natural for people to expect that Intel's implementation would be consistent with AMD's specification.

If you build a car which experiences temporal anomalies when driven at 88 miles per hour, it isn't good enough to have a line of fine print in the middle of a 1500 page manual. People expect to be able to drive a car at 88 miles per hour without ending up in the wrong century, and you should either not violate that assumption or have really big warning signs.
Whenever this type of discussion comes up, I always say that I will never mind taking care of my wife's parents if they need me to. After all they will be her parents just like I have mine. (I am not married, so using future tense). You would be surprised to hear that my friends (girls and guys alike) don't believe me and think I am joking. I have had women who are in their late 30s (so exactly in the age when their parents need support) argue with me on this point. In their opinion, I don't know what I am talking about, and will not care about anyone once I get married.
TL;DR, People, even daughters laugh at you when you promise to take care of their parents equally as your own.

So when I describe my parents take on dowry (i.e. no dowry, we want a daughter, not a daughter in law etc), people think I am joking.

I empathize with the people who make a living off of the open API. However, I believe your own interest is boxing you into a narrow view. You said it yourself... The important thing is the function that an open network for free speech and organization plays. You also point out the legitimate concern regarding central control of such a powerful tool. So I think you can agree that it is naive to try to manipulate a corporate structure that has already showed its hand. You must trust that we will continue to evolve our ability to freely communicate and share with new networks. Your panic comes from the possibility of personal loss, meanwhile people will keep on sharing and organizing in new and better ways.

The problem that keeps me up at night is that people are superficial online and on the mainstream networks. We need to free ourselves in more ways than one.

I love your passion for leadership and your vision for a movement towards we the product. However, it is quite unsettling to see how much personal interest can corrupt you along with the company you are criticizing.

washing machines...Not sure how widespread access to such technology is in India?

GDP per capita is about $3500, adjusting for PPP. 31% of the population has improved sanitation.

So, washing machines are not very widespread.

> 5. Chrome will prove to be more developer friendly.

I love V8 infinitely better than Apple's JS engine, but you can't say Safari is less developer friendly than Chrome.

Safari 6 has much more developer tools now (detailed timeline of element renders & JS timers/dispatches), in a nicer package. And, the new Web Inspector in iOS 6 is absolutely marvelous! You open the webpage on iPad and inspect it on Safari's new web inspector (and you can tap on different elements to inspect them, just as you can do in FireBug).

"I would think that time to show a slightly changed page after a "refresh" or "reload" would be appropriate. What are the other choices?"

Well, what we really want to measure is the overall effect so that we can see how Railgun improves things in general. The 'refresh' time is interesting, but we're also interested in the network scale (how does user X downloading Y improve the speed for user Z downloading the same (but slightly different) page Y).

"but in the base case there is only a single proxy and hence no extra connection time to consider"

That isn't really the base case. The base case is that we need to go get the resource with a normal HTTP connection direct to the server.
I think that's a fair argument Vitaly. Two thoughts. One, if the service has gotten better has their been real cost savings or revenue improvements from using it? Two, if the answer is no, then maybe you will have to change. I like giving someone 30 - 100 days (depends on how hard it is to make a change) so at least the only cost then is the one on your side.

Why Google Chrome on iOS doesn't stand a chance: because if it succeeds, Apple has the power (and inclination) to simply block it.
Well burying pricing and then doing a "gotcha" is pretty offensive. If that's what happened then the lack of transparency was probably the key point people objected to.
Thank you for that link! I had been scratching my head about that server even though it wasn't mine to take care of (the other service I'm involved with here, that I helped plan, uses Postgres, which does not seem to have problems).

Any real-time neighborhood safety app that relies on the same data the police uses (or a similarly complete dataset) intended for mapping areas suitable for, say, nightly outdoors activities, can be used for avoiding police.

The second part, I agree, is completely criminal. I doubt it will become available on any mainstream app store.

"If you are victimized today the risk that you'll be a victim again goes way up,"

Speaking from personal experience there is validity in that assertion. However, I'm question any algorithm that claims to predict human behavior, particularly when it involves the police.

The legally safest thing is just to confirm dates of employment and title, officially.

Anything negative at all, and a lot of positive things could be interpreted as partially negative, exposes you to risk if the employee doesn't get the job.

Servint – Top Notch VPS Provider for WordPress
Interesting, but not at all new. A really interesting article on the subject would be how to do it while having nearly consistent data across the data centers. In the case of the proposed approach, you have simply no communication between the DCs.
I hear what you are saying. I think it's very hard for a new business though to see that far out. Pricing too high too early can also mean no or very few customers. Secondly, you may price it accurately today but your customers drive you to enhance the service (and the costs) by adding more features. That's all healthy but that can also mean even the best laid original pricing needs to rise.
The issue only occurs when the locale is changed between registering and looking up the class.

Unionist politicians call for 'tolerance and respect' for Newry Orange parade
I am not the OP but let me try.

I agree with the OP in the sense that the biggest problem in India is that if you are rich, you don't have to worry about the law. Let me give you couple of examples:

1. The murder of Jessica Lal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Jessica_Lal Even though the accused is in jail right now, it was not because law enforcement worked. It was because of Indian Media. Read the Wikipedia page to get more details.

2. Almost all Indian politicians are corrupt. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_politicians_in_India_ch... Now, it's one thing to get away with a crime but it's a whole another thing to still be active in politics after your crimes are exposed. E.g. Lalu Yadav was involved in a scam costing government ~190MM. He later became Railway Minister and he is still active. Compare this to US. Eliot Spitzer, a generally honest man, had to quit politics after his sex scandal came out.

3. Salman Khan, a famous Indian actor, was drunk driving and killed a person. He didn't do any jail time. [ http://www.rediff.com/news/2002/sep/28khan.htm ]

I grew up in India and I have personally seen how the rich people have used money to circumvent the law.

This lack of enforcement against rich people leads to a situation where common people have no respect for the law. And that is why corruption is so rampant in India.

IMHO, A law enforcement similar to how it's in USA, will do wonders to India and it's economy. Though I should add that before we adapt strict law enforcement, we have to revamp our ridiculously outdated laws [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Penal_Code]. E.g. It was only in 2009 when the law banning gay people was scrapped down.

Seriously. The whole point here seems to be that people should pay a tax because other people are doing obvious fucking shit. Fuck patents.

_The Halo Effect_, Phil Rozenzweig: http://www.amazon.com/The-Halo-Effect-Business-Delusions/dp/...

This revisits books from earlier in the decade (like _Good to Great_), and shows that many of the profiled companies failed. It's a great way to learn how to read entrepreneurship books; many theories are based on "Intel is successful; Intel does X; therefore doing X will make you successful".

In general, go read books from ten years ago and see if any of the predictions held up. Likewise, I recommend _Founders at Work_ because so many of these (currently) successful companies were launched with opposing philosophies, and all of them worked. Open plan? Works! Offices? Also works! Deep funding? Works! Bootstrapping? Also works!
