I appreciate your analysis of the free-to-play games becoming more and more abusive. But I've long preferred buying quality games over free games with up-selling. Eventually many people will come to realize that games that prey on addictions to gambling-like behavior are no fun. If the general public doesn't learn this lesson, then you will have less to fear from consoles like Ouya than from all of iOS and Android devices put together.

TL;DR version: the '->' operator is punned in C++ to mean both "load through a pointer" and "call a function with the pointer as the first argument." Unsurprisingly, nothing blows up when you use the second form with a null pointer.

V8 actually uses this to implement a pretty cool trick. V8 objects are tagged--tag bits distinguish valid pointers from integer immediate values. The integer class has no data, it stores its information in the 'this' pointer.

Your points are valid, but imo Lamar Smith really does represent the worst of our electorate (To Me).

Lamar Smith is the same guy who killed the "Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2011", Proposed by Barney Frank and Ron Paul. It would have pushed legislation from the federal to the state level.

He is a staunch anti abortion activist, and has signed multiple bills to make abortion as difficult as possible, if not impossible. Even signing a bill to prevent a mother from taking her unborn over state lines to perform an abortion.

He has been the main driver behind SOPA from the start.

If you ever want to know my political opinion on something, just check Lamar Smiths' position and I'll be on the other end of it ;)

It's not quite as simple as that -- taxis are widely used by homeless/indigent people as sometimes their only means of transportation to get to the doctor/employment/etc. These individuals may not have the correct technology or knowledge to use services like Uber.

If the taxi industry does die, cities should provide some kind of "summon-an-Uber" facility, perhaps through former payphone locations etc.

Well, you see, that would change the behavior of the program. In order for it to resolve the vtable statically, which it CAN do, it would have to know what kind of vtable the NULL cowPointer has. And the true answer is that the program is already wrong once it accesses the vtable.

To put it another way, such an optimizer would transform incorrect programs into correct programs.

If you write correct programs, the optimization is useless since it only transforms incorrect programs. If you write incorrect programs, the optimization is dangerous since it makes it harder for you to figure out that your program is wrong.
Well, technically it's not a NULL pointer dereference, it's (NULL+user controlled data) pointer dereference, which is quite a different matter. See e.g. http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/archive/1/500514/100/... for the explanation of the code.

Wikipedia Shuts Site to Protest Bill for Firewall in Russia
Sorry, my mistake. I was saving a file from textmate with the string "𝖙𝖊𝖘𝖙" in it and then opening with "open -a textedit eg.txt".

The same experiment with cat in place of textmate works fine, so it's textmate that is buggy.

According to "od -x1", textmate is writing:

0000000 ed a0 b5 ed b6 99 ed a0 b5 ed b6 8a ed a0 b5 ed
0000020 b6 98 ed a0 b5 ed b6 99

So textedit is right to complain.

Its a really good point and Im not going to try and cover up the pitfalls you pointed out. I'm trying to document the reusable core as much as I can because 1) Im forgetful and at times will need a quick refresh 2) Im hoping that I can open source it soon and it might have a chance of helping someone that likes it. I know that producing core code to bundle into a framework when I don't use frameworks is pretty hypocritical but even so thats an intent I have for the future.
I knew the deal Nokia made with Microsoft was bad, but I didn't know it was that bad. Basically, they bet the company on Microsoft's ability to grow WP7, an OS which back then had 2% market share with no real chance of improvement (and so far it still hasn't shown it can do much better).

He would take control of all communications in the event of a national emergency. Then again, all he has to do is declare a national emergency, and then who knows what happens. If it is a genuine national emergency, though, like an enemy invasion (which is what this executive order seems to plan against), then Obama seizing all communications in America seems like it will be the least of our problems.

However, the presence of language like "Continuity of Government" does not inspire much confidence that he is looking out for us.
But how would one compete with already established competitors when it comes to domain knowledge? I mean... picking up a niche market may be easy, but then you must know it better than those who are already there.
1. As opposed to what? Government-appointed committee with 20 volumes of bylaws? Open source design processes are ad-hoc in 99% of the cases, and from what I saw in business so are many of the successful ones in business too.

>> Somehow they ended up with about half of the language being case sensitive and half being case insensitive.

Why you think it's because of the "lack of forethought"? Case-insensitive methods/classes were decided to be so for a reason (since it made easier to write bigger projects in PHP). You may not like this decision, but it doesn't mean everything you disagree with is because nobody thought about it.

>> Somehow they ended up not considering the implications of "case insensitive" with regards to internationalization, and thus ended up with utterly bizarre rules where code works or doesn't work depending on the locale it's run in.

Again, the only reason why that bizzare situation with Turkish locale exists is because it wasn't noticed. There's no deep and mysterious reason rooting in flawed PHP design why it can't be fixed - as far as I can see, the fix is not hard either, it just that nobody got to fixing it.

2. Changing language implementation with potential of breaking of 99% of existing code is not a "bugfix". If you don't understand this, maybe it's too early for you to lecture people on how to design languages. It can be done, but there's no reason to - it would lead to massive breakage with no upside in any functionality.

3. "The issue itself is not that important" - BINGO! You said it. If the issue is not that important, why you're wasting time dwelling on it and make it sound as if this is the most important thing ever? You wrote a long post supposedly about deep flaws in PHP design and process - but the only thing you actually wrote about is an obscure bug that you yourself admit is not important! Maybe it's time to discuss something that is important then?

The growing trend that I've seen now days is companies requiring extensive knowledge in "this" framework. It doesn't help that every company requires a different framework.

Interviews are a drag, and none of them like hearing that it will take one month to become fully accustomed (in-depth knowledge) with their framework. They'd prefer someone with limited knowledge who knows their framework rather than one who's well versed in multiple frameworks/languages.

The Fiction That Rich People Create The Jobs
I agree, people seem negative focusing too much in outermost layer like memory size, or that it isn't as powerful as an xbox.

take a look at this: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/170237/Annual_US_game_ret...

The trend is game sales are down year over year. Studios are closing because massive multi million dollar productions are simply unsustainable. You see games being more expensive, have ads and sponsors on it, gameplay is cut down and sold as expensive downloadable content, and every game is using gimmicks like plastic toys to be able to sell a game copy for 99 or 150 bucks. And every year publishers have to one up in themselves like Charlie sheen going from a week long to a month long party.

Another concrete example: Kingdom of Amalur's developer Studio 38. The game has an epic franchise, great reviews, strong first month sales. The studio closed down because it would need to sell way too many copies just to break even. Even "top" consoles are selling at unprofitable levels and trying to make it even with tons of DLC.

Development for consoles is very inaccesible. Even for XBox which uses DirectX and can be downloaded. How many of people you know that programmed a ps3 game in college? '

There has to be a reversal of this trends and a console like this seems like a step in the right direction. So far seems like only nintendo figured out it's all about delivering fun that people like, not who has the biggest processor.

People doubt the 99 dollar price. Maybe it comes out being 150 or slightly more expensive, we don't know. It can definitively be cheap. Supposedly a Nexus 7 costs 184 dollars to make, 57 are just for the screen. Take out the screen, sensors,camera, battery, cut down memory...It sounds reasonable it could hit the price point.
Not sure, but if they update it to Android 4.1+, it should have 12 ms or lower.
I would agree with this.

One of the directions LedgerSMB (http://www.ledgersmb.org) is going is from a framework which was originally written by one guy to something which outsources as much as possible to CPAN modules. This poses some issues, but in general it works pretty well. We probably have as much framework code as we used to but the code does a lot more. We decided not to go with other frameworks because of the dependency issues that sometimes arise.

Also I will personally vouch for #3. We started off using Std::Config for processing ini files. But this isn't well supported in distros or well maintained so we switched to Config::IniFiles and it was a pretty painless effort.

the bigger thing though is you don't have to do it all yourself. :-)
Seriously? A down-vote because I ask a question about payment options? Unbelievable.

I just fail to see the big deal behind this. Really, isn't the games market enough to crowdsource distribution choices? This is only needed because Steam is a closed platform, which people seem to forget.
I didn't really phrase that right.

I often feel that the software industry should be much 'further along' than it is. It's 2012 and most software interactions are through kludgy, blocky web interfaces, its not uncommon for rather basically behaving systems to be backed by millions of lines of code.

I know this is rather a soft lament, but it doesn't feel right. It feels that with all the years we've been at this practice we should have progressed further than we have.
It's not very clear what part of the system will be open source but if the whole OS and their layer on top are, you could re-install it on anything and replace any part of the hardware.

Fun fact: There are a number of platforms that made NULL dereference valid (usually returning zero), because it enables you to do fun compiler optimizations that are not safe otherwise. Some of these optimizations relate to being able to insert new loads or hoist existing ones, some of these relate to being able to remove null pointer checks.
(for example, in:

int **a = NULL;
int *b = NULL;
int c = 0;
...
if (a ! = NULL)
b = *a;
if (b != NULL)
c = *b;

you can remove all the NULL checks if *NULL = 0)

AIX was an example of such a platform (at least until version 5.3, i haven't used it since then).
But disrupting a market completely doesn't happen from the first generations. It took even Apple a few generations to bring down Nokia and RIM, the former leaders of the smartphone market. So I wouldn't worry about this right now.

Plus, there's this trend where people are starting to care less and less about graphics and more about gameplay. That's how disruptions happen. They change the "rules of the game". They don't try to beat the old leaders with the same tricks (graphics performance), but with different ones (better gameplay, more games from indies, free to play, cheaper console etc).

If you think this console needs to be able to "compete" with PS4 and Xbox 360, you're looking at this in a very wrong way. Most of the people that will buy OUYA probably won't even be former Xbox/PS3 customers.

I remember when the iPhone came out, 80% of the people buying them were not "smartphone buyers". They were dumbphone buyers. It took a few years before the people who swore by their Symbian and Blackberry "smartphones" (which had "many more features") started getting interested in iPhones and Android phones.

" He was experiencing the gap between what he expected to happen and what was actually happening.

That's the underlying cause of stress and it's afflicting us more these days than ever because our expectations keep rising, thanks in part to exponential improvements in our technology."

Oh don't flatter (or insult) mankind with such rationality. It is the gap between what we desire to happen and what is happening, and the uncertainty that this brings about, that leads to stress. If you enlarge this gap enough for a long enough time, it tends to accumulate.

"But that day on his boat, Rob was expecting his cell to work. So the cell outage far from land, where there's no alternative means of communicating his absence on an important phone call created a stressful unmet expectation."

You're right. We probably shouldn't hold our public servants to a higher standard than the general populace. It's not like we need our leaders to establish trust with other leaders and work towards solving real issues.

And while I don't know much about RaspberryPi, their website states that the "graphics capabilities are roughly equivalent to Xbox 1 level of performance" which I imagine Ouya is trying to exceed. Moreover, RaspberryPi doesn't come with a fancy shell or a controller.
