Besides their own blindness/fear, what's stopped newspapers from creating those new ventures themselves? Becoming the performance-based ad spin-off, recruiting the superb sales people? In the same way that a web celeb can bring a huge boost to anything they start, so can a newspaper drive instant publicity to a new venture of their own. Took the major networks here years before they started buying up each of a site re: cars, dating, travel, parenting, etc.

Is it a concern of driving away potential advertisers in those fields? Anti-competitive behaviour?

In Australia, fantasy comps (based around Australian Rules Football) are very popular and a huge boost to the big newspapers. I've been told that recent newspaper strategy meetings often boil down to "Wish we could come up with another thing like (insert fantasy comp name here)." Give me a meeting and eventual minimal shareholding and I'll give you five ideas straight up.

One example of the newspaper approach is in restaurant reviews. Before and after the success of sites like Yelp, newspapers here have continued with their review-a-restaurant-a-week approach. No categorised index of local restaurants. No repository of reviews beyond those that hit print. No crowdsourcing.

For a long time online, I turned repeatedly to a restaurant index (Miettas) with a crappy design, weak search and dated content just because it had remotely reliable and professional reviews that a Yelp-type site didn't have. Newspapers could have seen, and could still see, success in this space, IMO.
Ive tried countless times but i can't satisfy myself with defaults on awesomewm. always have to tweak it and it takes a while.

Incidently awesomewm configuration system is extremely powerful. But I don't wanna "waste" hours on that anymore (that is, all the wm config in general).

If KDE brings too many troubles (the config is dead easy but it has other quirks, like memory usage, bugs, etc), I might just go back to the trusty window maker. Simple, easy. Maybe the way it should always have been ;-)
It will be very nice if you support Markdowm format.

"Unannounced ship date" is not the same as "order shows as 'complete', payment is taken, but there is no information anywhere as to when you'll get your device, or if it has been shipped or not. Is it lost in the post? Stolen? Who knows."

Compare this to Apple, who give you fairly accurate ship dates and tracking numbers once shipped.
That doesn't seem to work, either. Besides, Command generally maps to Ctrl/Alt on most pieces of software.
Provided enough resources I think the best approach is writing a library in C/C++ for the core and then using the native toolkit for the GUI.

Transmission does this and it's beautiful both on OS X and Gnome. Adium does something similar and it's a good mac app.

You spout theory. They work in practice. You were fired from Google within months of being hired, and continue to trash them in every single thread on even marginally related topics. They go from strength to strength, shipping extraordinarily complicated products like Google Drive and pushing the future with Google Glass and self-driving cars.

Start your own company and try your management strategies there. Until then, stop attacking a company and organization that is far greater than anything most people (including yourself) will ever build.

My point was that every profession has times when it's full of elitists that think they've got some special dispensation to carry out their work. That comes with the mindset of being a professional. And eventually walls come down as the output of a profession becomes commoditized.
In my eyes the point of a Startup Weekend is to learn, network and experiment. If you create something that lasts then great.

The reason for the change in size is time. At Startup Weekend you have 54 hours. 2/3 person team means everyone still owns a reasonable amount of the company and should give a good mix of skills.

As someone who also went to Waterloo, and worked for RIM on co-op term, I agree with most everything you've said. But I feel that applies to RIM of old.

It seems that Thorsten has really cleaned house and is well on his way to turning RIM into a much leaner machine.

Hardware running Java generates a lot of heat too ...
Why PHP references should be like pointers? It is "confusing" only if you have wrong preconception about how PHP references should be. If you let it go and learn what they actually are, there's nothing confusing about it. Just don't let you preconceived notion about what it "should" be block your learning about what it actually is.

Most of "other languages" similar to PHP don't even have concept close to references, except for C++. Similarity with C++ may be briefly confusing, but it's not unheard of that in different languages concepts meant to achieve the same thing work differently. Expecting PHP would match C++ in every detail or would have to invent completely new terminology altogether makes little sense.

>> What's the benefit of doing it this way instead of the way just about every other language ever does it?

"Every other language ever" doesn't do it in any particular way. Perl has pointer-like references and they are nightmarish to work with. Languages like Ruby or Java pass everything by value or by object reference depending on how you look on it, since everything is an object. Some don't have the concept of references all. Low-level languages like C/C++ have pointers. In some languages variables are not mutable, so the whole question is moot. Saying that "every other language ever" does some specific thing in this regard and only PHP does it differently is meaningless - different languages do it completely different, and PHP has its own way. It doesn't match your favorite one - fine, everybody is entitled to have one's favorite ways, but that does not make PHP "weird" or wrong in any way, just as it doesn't make C, Java, Python or Perl wrong.

It comes down to people, like I said before. What you're suggesting is that newspapers have all these great people who should be able to cook up product ideas that generate great revenue for them.

If you were one of those people, would you do that for your newspaper, or would you apply to YCombinator?

Let's take Jack Dorsey as a recent example. He came up with Twitter while working at Odeo. He shared the idea with the rest of Odeo and eventually Odeo was shuttered and all resources were put into growing Twitter.

Now, let's imagine Jack Dorsey working at a beleaguered newspaper in Oregon, for example. First of all, it's hard to imagine, isn't it? Why would Jack Dorsey be at a newspaper instead of an SF startup? But assuming he was there and came up with Twitter the following things would likely happen:

1. Company would spend too much time evaluating the idea before deciding whether to put resources into it.
2. Company would assign a team to work on it, led by Jack. Abilities of team would vary wildly.
3. Jack's team would have to run everything through company I.T. which means hosted servers and more paperwork.
4. Jack's project would be expected to show results immediately and be commercialized swiftly, not 5 years after launch like with Twitter.
5. Newspaper company would eventually lose patience with project and pull the plug.

This happens at any big company. Newspapers are no different. No sense of ownership means its hard to focus and get great things done.

Are you outside North America Belgica? The reason I ask, is I'm Canadian, but have been living in South America and now Australia for almost a year. I'm amazed at how many Blackberry users I still see. I keep hearing all this talk about the ship going down, and I think to myself that the Blackberries I'm seeing are no more than 9 months old on average. How can things be so bad?

At the same time, there is a serious perception in North America that iPhone is the only phone, and is trumping everybody.

It's amazing how perception is such a big part of this market.

I've got an iPhone, an android (Sony Experia S) and a Windows (Samsung Focus), and I think the iPhone is way behind both the experience on Android and iPhone. But it all just goes to show the market is big enough for multiple players.

> At 216 pixels per inch, it's no The New iPad™, but the density is close to the recently-released retina MacBook Pro.

Okay Ars author, while the Nexus 7 screen looks fantastic, I don't know what you were thinking as this sentence above doesn't make any sense. There's no point in comparing a tablet's DPI to a laptop's DPI†, especially in that way. It makes it sound like one is really wanting the thing to be Retina when it is not, and that actually detracts from the fact that it looks like a great screen nonetheless.

Everyone's most basic role is to provide customer service to their work, from burger flipper to enterprise architect, for anyone, anytime, anywhere.

That's why you're surprised when they fire you for poor performance. You get under people's skin by, instead of playing the language game, which may happen upon us, but rather attacking the game itself (and coincidentally enough, the other person's attempt at learning the rules of the game).

It's like saying, 'Isn't it funny that you greet people in that way?' Go on, say it outloud. In this dogged fight to optimize talk exchanges, you still come out looking like an ass.

All of this is like when scientists attack language because they can't figure out the best or most elegant way to express what is supposed to be the best or most elegant explanation or theory. -- Stop throwing the baby out with he bath water.

I think you should stand up, whenever someone do sth horrible, no matter what this person believes.

If I see man beating up another, I should help the victim, no matter if the attacker is christian, muslim or atheist. And I don't think just because you share some beliefs with him, you bear more responsibility for his deeds. I don't understand, why should all atheists be responsible, if one of them does sth wrong.

I also don't think that moral responsibility of all (people beliving in X) is to search news every day to know where other (people believing in X) did sth horrible, to be able to stand up againist that.

If you don't do this with respect to your own beliefs, I think you shouldn't judge others for not doing it.

1. They should know what to investigate. In most cases, they don't until it's too late. Amount of financial transactions in average bank is tremendous, and unless you know exactly what to look for it's beyond shadow of possibility to make sense of all of this data and see if there's any problem somewhere there. You'd need regulatory agencies with personnel 10 times more than whole personnel of all banks. Who'd pay for that?

2. It's not a question of budgets. Somehow some people got the idea money is all-powerful and enough money solves any problem. That's BS. Nobody knows that. And yes, bankers don't know that too - do you think they enjoy being nearly bankrupt? If they could properly predict such things, they would. They can't, however, so instead they do what they can - dance on the line as long as they can and cry for help when the time comes.

3. Yeah, right. And who will be determining "merits", you? No, thanks. I'd rathe take my chance with the stupid hordes - at least they are not so swollen with self-importance as to deny everybody who disagrees with them basic human rights of self-rule and control over their own destiny. All these arguments that some people should be slaves "for their own good" and have no rights except the right to be ruled by kind masters - we are way past that. Sorry, those times won't return, abandon that dream.

4. Nationalized industries work really great, duh. Of course, being controlled by the state gives people superpowers, so industry that was badly managed and corrupt as private, of course will become clean and well-managed as government enterprise. After all, government enterprises are universally known for their excellent management and total lack of corruption, especially when it comes to managing billions of dollars. Duh.

>> The root of all social problems is the fact that the most qualified and knowledgable academics and technologists have zero political power, while Chrstian pseudo-preachers hold all of it.

This is completely stupid and false. The social problems have multiple roots, and very little of them have anything to do with technologists and academics having little power. Academics, technologists and social engineers of all kids have huge powers and access to enormous budgets and overwhelming regulatory powers. Most of their social engineering enterprises, however, meet with disastrous results, exactly because every complex problem has cheap, obvious, easy to understand wrong solution. And people like you grab at it and yell "oh, that's simple, let's nationalize all banks and appoint more bureaucrats to run financial industry, that would guarantee us eternal prosperity". No, it won't, sorry.

The "idiots" are acting exactly in their self-interest when they are ignoring advice like yours - because what you are advising is a recipe for disaster and this was proven by history many times. Unfortunately, they don't always do that - sometimes the simple wrong solution is too tempting. They - we - always pay dearly for that.
It's the same with Freelancers in Germany (at least the ones I know). I've been working way more hours since I went freelance, however, only a fraction of them paid, since there is a significant overhead to doing freelance work (acquiring jobs, dealing with clients, chasing bills, taxes (those alone are a full-time job in Germany, sigh)). I think I went from about 40h in my full time job to roughly 60h now.
That said, I'm happier than ever before with my job. Because it makes a hell of a difference if you spend your time doing what you love instead of wasting away in a corporate office. And you will not even notice how much time you're spending on it.
A 20h week though - that only works if you are able to command a very high hourly/daily rate. The segment I work in, unfortunately, does not.

@Jarred. Thanks for sharing about the CEF project. I need to build a cross-platform GUI in Python if possible and wanted to use wxWidgets with the python binding. Now CEF seems really great: The possibility to make an HTML5-Javascript App and having also the opportunity to deploy it on a web-server is really exiting.
I will have to evaluate it, seems really cool.
Can you access files on the file system as a normal native application or do you have to write in a dedicated sandboxed area ?
Excellent article - being in a startup myself this is always in the back of my mind. An approach we are adopting is to purposefully not capture explicit details of the conversations, rather just discussing each conversation openly afterwards, and allowing our own minds to map-reduce to the important points. When those points become fairly static, then I believe we are there.
Filtering can't be done "regardless of destination", of course, since kind of filtering depends on the required result. Otherwise, difference between filtering and validation is largely in application semantics - some may prefer one, some another. Output is different things, of course filters can be applied to the output too.
If you can't access it directly, do a google search for the title of this post, and it should take you to the article.
I don't see any "severe problems with how PHP is developed" that have any relation to this obscure issue, only importance of which is in its use for bashing PHP.

If only the people giving advice knew what they were doing ...

- php's filter functions : useless, you'll end up cooking up some regex anyway ( be it manual or metadata based)

- pdo ? why ? native drivers can be just fine

- binding parameters instead of sanitizing ? want another hammer maybe ? everything looks like a nail to you obviously.

- password hashing. why should it take place in php specifically when it's one of the slowest layers - and when you could ask the dbms to do it - it's a design choice but are you making the right one ?

Once again . don't call it "the right way" if you don't know the right way, mkay.
