How does "not comfortable with the command line" translate to "dumber by the day?" If people get their training using IDEs and go on to be productive using primarily IDEs, how does being uncomfortable with the command line reflect on their intelligence in any way?

I agree with you completely. Being familiar with the idiosyncrasies of the console does not make you smarter than people who aren't; you've just learnt different things.

You are a fucking genius. Only on the internet can such backwards and completely worthless logic be said because if you tried to say this shit to anyone in real life you'd be laughed out of the room.

You went off the rails here. You can disagree without being abusive. Downvoted, sorry.

If I was looking for someone to do web dev work for me, and I went as far as checking out their portfolio site's HTML/CSS/Javascript, I'd say that not minifying code would reflect badly on them. Certainly forgivable if everything else checks out, but still a mark against them.

I think that Objective-C is pretty sweet.

The problem is that you can’t cherry-pick language features. Each of them has implications for the rest of the language, forcing you into some compromise. As an example, when Objective-C picked great compatibility with C, it picked some great strengths (using existing C libraries, language familiarity, being close to the metal) along with some downsides. For me, the Objective-C strengths are worth the downsides.

Some of your points are purely subjective. I would pick Objective-C verbosity again, because it makes me think less. I can generally parse long words at a glance and code completion saves me typing. Some identifiers are too long indeed, but the consistency is a win. For me.

I don’t see what’s so awkward about collection classes and you don’t say what is that you miss. Granted, the collection literals are too verbose, but that will get much better with the upcoming Xcode release, just as you said. And even the older, verbose syntax is not a language deal-breaker for me.

KVO and notifications are not always roses, but can you give an example of what bugs you along with a solution in a different language that you consider superior?

Again, my main point is that each language design is a compromise and I quite like the compromise represented by Objective-C. Namely, the simplicity of the language, the balance between the metal and a higher-level language, the readable syntax and the standard libraries.
Adobe is walking away from the mobile player but still has Air out in the wild wich produces a lot of good chart topping titles on the Android and iOS app stores.

In my opinion, it is better to pick up Haxe if someone is coming from AS3. You can use javascript for the HTML5 compile target, you get extended Mr. Doob three.js support provided by the author himself, node.js through the Noxe Lib extends, and much more. And that is just for the HTML5 target.

It even target compiles to Android and iOS through the Haxe NME framework.

They are adding Java support to the thing and it has been doing c++ and php for some years. There are no silly ";" fights and honestly it is good to be able to use the same code source to run on multiple plats.

Though Dart may well pick up and Easel is already becoming a thing.
That's a ridiculous metric for whether a patent should be issued or not.

Many things are easy to implement but are difficult to conceptualize.
Building tools is what makes us human. If I believed in sacraments, that would be one. And we're seeing the early stages of a proxy war, crippled appliance culture against toolmakers, which could push civilization off course. It's hard to see atrocities confined to 0.001% of our species in the same light.
Finger prints and retina recognitions probably aren't as popular in a world where costumed psychopaths are running around, able and eager to rip of your body parts. (And it isn't too different from the Windows 8 touchscreen "passwords")

And as for Bing, I'm happy enough when it's a real search engine, and not just some weird computer animation that doesn't even look like actual HTML in a browser. Or that every computer has to be from Apple.

I would've wished for some more universe integration, i.e. some in-joke replacement for some things ("StarkSearch", Oscorp tablets etc.), but that would ruin product placement money and Marvel actually tends to avoid that in the comics, too. As opposed to DC, where you've got "QPads" and "QPhones" (made by Queen Industries, run by Green Arrow).
Whenever I encounter one of these articles, I just google the title. Easy enough for me.

> It'd be easier if I could stash some but not all of my changes to get them out of my workspace temporarily

It's literally called "git stash".

Aside from that, you can squash commits together after-the-fact. If it makes it any easier, you can squash a whole branch together all at once before pushing it out to other people. No one need be the wiser. The intermediate commits can just be temporary savepoints for your personal convenience.
C++11 lets you do compile time string hashing, so you can automatically generate the IMGUI_SRC_ID from __FILE__ and hopefully get rid of one bit of manual handholding with GEN_ID.

How is this in any way a response to this comment thread? When did anyone say anything about evolutionary psychology? I only said that biologists sometimes get sloppy and say things about evolution they don't actually mean, and that this confuses other people who take them at their word.
From what I can understand, it doesn't. Backwards compatability is usually good. However, there was a breaking change in 2011 sometime. The slime-js in marmalade relies on the SLIME in marmalade, which is from 2010.04.04 - and works with that. Same for clojure-swank. So by removing the newest SLIME, it worked for me.
That last link there is all there is of the "game" for now. :-)
Either I'm missing something, or this must be absolutely horrific in terms of performance. Each object draws itself every frame, is that correct? If that's not true, then you must spend a huge amount of time trying to figure out which objcts need to be drawn and which objects don't. Indeed this is the very work that most event driven GUI frameworks try to spare the developer from having to deal with, because the problem is not trivial.

As I said, maybe I'm missing something, in which case I would love for someone to enlighten me...

But there are numerous examples of "swipe to unlock" right here in this thread. By qualifying that with "major OEMs", you're just moving the goal post.
Why, in your opinion, do we have patents?

Patents are a bargain with society: I, the inventor, will publish the details of my invention, instead of keeping it locked away forever as a trade secret. In return, you, the government, will grant me a limited monopoly on the invention.

But if the patent's teachings aren't even remotely necessary or helpful to those who implement my invention in the future, what exactly is society getting in exchange for the monopoly grant?

IMO, patents shouldn't be granted on anything that wouldn't otherwise be a candidate for trade secret protection. "Slide to unlock" certainly would never meet that bar. There is a 0% chance that anyone who is infringing on this patent needed to read it first.
The language ranking is driven by the product created with it. And this table makes me think that mastering a lower positioned language just makes you more special.

iki.fi is a Finnish mail and homepage url rerouting service whose selling point is trying to stick around forever with minimal overhead.

Complex is not the same as complicated. Git is complex, but not complicated.
Langauge preference is always subjective. That said, IMO:

C compatibility is a double-edged sword. For most apps it's more of a liability than a benefit. Always being one pointer error away from writing all over memory is not a good thing. Being forced to manually deal with headers and include directives in 2012 makes me sad. Not necessary in Java/C#/etc.

ARC makes memory management a lot less of a pain but you really still need to understand retain/release and weird issues pop in things like blocks, complicating their already ugly (compared to C#/Java lambda, Ruby, Python etc) syntax.

Picking apart a long selector invocation takes a lot more effort than just parsing a typical function call. In languages like Python or C# you can use explicit argument labels if you really need them instead of all the time.

Collections are going to be less painful with the new literals and autoboxing but they're still really crude compared to C++ stl, for example.

Most of what you can accomplish with KVO and notifications can be done with more explicit listener/delegate arrangements and that kind of code is a lot easier to understand too. There's nothing keeping you from doing that in Obj-C but the KVO way is pretty ingrained in Cocoa, just like informal protocols used to be.

Former France Telecom CEO indicted over 35 suicides
Well, suit yourself. It's just a tremendously useful skill to have. Makes it a bit less of a hassle to ssh into the odd server to check the logs, or dump a database, or use tools that don't have a GUI.

I mean, fundamentally, you're typing things to a computer and then the computer does what you typed. Why should that notion be uncomfortable to a programmer of all people?
Sorry, it is a sliding lock. Just went with the first image I found on GIS.
AngryParsley: To be honest, I haven't done that much performance-intensive stuff under Vagrant on OS X. Cross-compiling the PS2 toolchain took about 10 minutes on my 2011 MacBook Air. And of course it's a different matter when you want to use Vagrant in production at work. But I think it's just fine to compile some homebrew without much hassle.
Incapsula security and acceleration [animated video]
It sounds like you're using analogies to "prove" your point, rather than using evidence to prove and analogies to illustrate. This is a very common theme in my experience with arguments in favor of an external force guiding evolution (and other unprovable subjects). If we're not careful, thinking by analogy can lead us to believing incorrectly that irrelevant attributes of the analogy actually apply to the universe.
Surely there are lots of possible solutions -- tapping multiple points of a photo in sequence (am I the only one who prefers tapping for the reduction in finger prints?), camera face recognition, etc. You could even use a physical gesture, detecting patterns of movement of the phone through the accelerometer and gyro. Hmm... maybe I need to patent that!

A physical button would have been fine too -- something like the mute/orientation button would be enough to prevent most accidental triggering. Not very discoverable, though.

Right now my the only method I actually like is the iPad smart cover, as it's already unlocked by the time I have opened it. I tend to use a flip open case for my iPhone -- to protect from the inevitable fluff while in my pocket and to help the speaker when open (angle it just right for a big improvement in volume) -- so I'd like to see the iPhone 5 include that magnetic detection technology. Not very likely, I know.

Go ahead and try explaining a rebase without trying to broach the concepts of time travel.

A project can be described in terms of the changes users make over time, and that lets us undo any previous changes all the way back to the beginning of the project.

I don't think that explanation is overly technical or difficult to understand, and the generic features of version control which you dismiss are precisely those that make it most useful - the above paragraph in my opinion encapsulates most of what is useful about a VCS. To extend the above to cover a rebase:

A rebase is just merging other people's changes with yours, so that you end up with a merged version of the files, but with details that mean it looks slightly cleaner in histories - it's not even something many people will ever have to do. As to why having a local copy is useful, who cares, it's a detail of how the VC works?

This really is not rocket science - while git can at times be frustrating if you hit a particular problem which it doesn't consider important like expunging files from history, the basics are very very simple. You really only need 3 commands for day to day use:

git pull (get other people's changes)
git push (send your changes to others)
git commit (commit a change to your local copy)

Actually for commit I just add all new non-ignored files (using an alias like this: "git add --all .;git commit -a -m") to save typing, otherwise I might have to use git add as well now and then, so I use commit "My message here". If the above commands are scary, there are various alternatives to VCS, but they're not as good - you can rename your files when you make a change, you can use something like Apple's Time Machine, etc. All of those work, but are not really as easy as VC when you're changing a lot of files.
The Integration Trap: Why Steve Jobs Isnt Smarter Than You
Not really -- "any" and "filter" are total functions, but "first" of an empty list is undefined.

On the other hand, that also applies to foldl1 and {max,min}imum{,By}, so it's probably not the reason.

The reason is probably that in JavaScript you can just say a[0] to get the first element element of a.
I am amazed that paper banknotes have remained even vaguely counterfeit-resistant for so long. It seems like a very difficult problem, given modern technology; the capital costs of an intaglio press and great plates are high, but some kind of CNC milling should be able to produce equivalents at some point.

The NK superbills are still as far as I know the best quality.
For small UIs in games that run at frame rate, the performance is probably competitive to (if not better than) a retained UI. They are probably redrawing their screen on each frame anyways, while retained has its own memory/compute overhead to consider.

Now, there is some point where the immediate mode UI becomes uncompetitive with retained; if you have a lot of complex/nested widgets for example, or you care about power consumption for a mostly static UI.
Replace Text on Specific PDF Page or Whole PDF Document Using REST API
Saaspose development team is proud to announce that Saaspose.Pdf now supports text replacement inside the PDF files. You can replace the existing text of your PDF files using text replacement feature. The text replacement is so simple and easy using Saaspose.Pdf. The formatting information like font, color, type etc. are retained after replacement the text. It is a powerful feature that provides complete flexibility to replace multiple texts in your PDF documents having several pages. We have SDK examples that provide the best solution for your text replacement requirements of PDF files. You can replace text in PDF file using Saaspose.Pdf REST API, all you need to do is download the required SDK e.g. .NET SDK for text replacement and get started with replacing text in the PDF files.
There are other laws that are in procedure with the same dangerous lines: TRIPPS IPRED. Europeans, take care, there's more work to do!
Git makes me think of Go (the board game), Rule 30 and Rule 110 cellular automata and Conway's Game of Life: a few simple defining rules that can be explain in a minute, but incredibly rich behavior follows.
In games and other interactive applications you redraw screen every frame (sth like 60 times a second) anyway. And drawing a few more sprites when you're drawing sth anyway is almost free, when you have acceleration. And doing simple animations is much simpler (you just change the proprty you want to with required step per frame, it is refreshed anyway, so no need to mark dirty rectangles, calling .refresh(), etc).

Also - perceived latency is low, because from the time you click something to the time screend redraws, there is at most 1/FPS seconds. Most probably less than 20 milliseconds.
When I went to visit my then girlfriend's family in Russia a few years ago there was what was known as the $100 rule - basically that nobody ever left the house without $100 US in their pocket, because that amount would be enough to get you out of pretty much any trouble.

Bribery of police is so endemic in Russia that the state's most effective counter to this so far has been to simply bribe the police more and reclaim the losses from the perp - so for a traffic offence, the policeman would get a bonus from the state for not taking the bribe and the offender would have his car sold.

Paying police more in the first place might be a good start.
I'm not trying to move any goal post. We are dealing with the major OEMs who are alleged to be infringing. And numerous examples of prior art where ?

All I've seen in this thread is the Neonode. The video games and hardware locks are ridiculous because a patent is NOT a general idea it is a specific implementation of a concept.

Some words about the Dart language. It's great to work with this new langauge and much more fun compared to javascript which is a pain when you come from the ActionScript/Java/C# world. In Dart you feel at home right from the start. Google is very much committed to the project and we will see pretty amazing things in the future. Of course the Chrome browser (Desktop and Android) will support the Dart VM in the future. The dart2js compiler allready works great and has improved a lot over the last weeks.
Agreed, I use it for all my Objective-C stuff. And it has fantastic VIM bindings. Being able to code Objective-C with VIM bindings and full auto completion is just awesome.
"re-tabling it before the European Parliament until it passes" is completely different from "tabling it again after x years after new information surfaced".

The former suggests pretty much immediate, repetitive, DoS style re-tabling and an intention to force something through despite that matter having been voted AGAINST - the later suggest good democratic processes.
