"Sleeping on it" also works for me as well. Often I'll think of a super difficult problem right before going to bed intentionally so I can get my subconscious working on it through the night.

I'm another linux fan that just did NOT see the appeal to an "oversized phone", and also got burned by how crappy earlier versions of Android were.

I've ignored all the tablets that came out, iPads, Android tablets, all of them... then when I saw this one, I figured "at that price, i'll give it a shot"... I'm SO glad I did. Absolutely loving my Nexus 7, and it has 100% converted me to being a tablet fan.

So what would you do instead? Ignoring stack overflow (which I think is doing fine). How do you improve a community who's quality is declining? Do you just let it run its course for better or worse?

I really think moderation is the best choice.
Eh. Wikipedia comparison matrices don't actually explain anything, and blog posts are only equally useful if they form part of a community-curated collection of similar posts (or are written by people with really high credibility).

It is certainly possible to replace SO in this capacity, but it's far from trivial. Of course, whether or not SO should be focusing on foundational education is up to you & company.
I'm an owner at a software dev shop now, and I loved this article. I can't imagine actually using grammar as a litmus test, personally, but it definitely goes into my on-the-spot judgement criteria. I feel significantly less-comfortable working with someone who lacks the critical thinking skills or personal professionalism to be intensely concerned with how they interact with others - and grammar is significantly about that.

If you can't be bothered to learn grammatical syntax, and it's something you've done your whole life, why should I expect that you'll be bothered to pursue perfection in other areas? If you are bothered to pursue it, why should I believe you have a chance at approaching it if you haven't nailed something you've done since you were five years old?

Anyway, I've not taken the time till now to really develop my understanding of this flash judgement I make of people, but it has always really bugged me. I have a friend who some people view as 'redneck' because he's got a bit of southern good-ol-boy in his heritage, but he's been reading books since he was young and it shows. We took a chance on him, brought him in-house, and trained him. One of the reasons I knew he'd become a great developer was because of the attention to detail he gave to everything that he did. It played out extremely well, for us and for him, and that one signal was a huge part of it.

Obviously anecdotal; typical caveats apply. Still, I'd rather live in the world iFixIt's pursuing than the world we presently live in, re: grammar.

EDIT: hilariously, for grammar. I missed a question mark.
When the beat goes off; errors in rhythm follow pattern
Seriously? Google has owned Motorola Mobility for fewer than two months[0]. And in any case, though it seldom matters to people insistent on seeing the Android manufacturers in a bad light, Microsoft started this war by demanding licensing fees for ridiculous patents, like this one, for "Generating meeting requests and group scheduling from a mobile device"[1].

If you want to talk about bad guys in this mess, it's the companies who ended the détente by suing their competitors. That would be Microsoft and Apple. Asking companies like Motorola, HTC and Samsung to tie their hands behind their backs while Apple and Microsoft shake them down (or try to ban their products) is lunacy.

We need patent sanity in this country. But in the mean time, companies who are attacked have every right to defend themselves by any legal means they have available.

In this specific case though, Sparrow was far from a low-to-modest traction product. Judging from their ranking history, they've been consistently in the Top 50 grossing overall on the Mac App Store[1], and Top 20 grossing utilities on the iPhone[2]. That's likely worth $2000-3000/day in revenue.

Those numbers are sustainable if you have a small team (1-3 people), but I'm not sure how big Sparrow's team was. Either way, I would say that they were in a very similar position to Instapaper, except the only difference being they had raised some VC funding (with all that implies regarding needing an exit in the future).

I'm asking for a bet on the future of Internet advertising generally. Not to take a collection of the shittiest known implementations of advertising and bet on them.

I'll interpret your response to mean you think Internet advertising (considered broadly) will be successful, and I agree with you. In contrast with the technology review post which predicts some sort of bizarre general "collapse" of the Internet (presumably of advertising as a business model).

If not please reform your bet accordingly.

Functional Programming in C
Now if you have a specific question about some aspect of Git compared to Mercurial...

So, when trying to get your bearings in a new area or get an idea of what the issues are, asking experienced developers what they think you should know is bad behavior that can't be allowed. The risk is just too high that between the useful answers there might be some that you couldn't use. Better to have no answers than to have that.

StackOverflow should not be about using experienced people as advisors; it should be about using them as documentation.
I completely agree with him on this point. I had a friend ask me to install a Korean keyboard on their HTC the other day (I think it was an HTC One).

On my own phone (Nexus), I just install the Google Korean IME from the markplace and it works fine. But on the HTC device, they've apparently replaced the built-in keyboard with their own thing and it took me about half an hour to figure out that I need to install a complete keyboard replacement (not just an IME) and totally replace the HTC one with this other custom one. In what way does any of this help anyone?

Furthermore, they are actually doing a great job of this. I've used all flavors of android out there, to be honest, I recently flashed Jellybean on my Evo and sorely miss Sense UI. Tons of subtle little things that Sense gets right that are just plain lacking in Vanilla Android. Just my two cents.
Maybe it's obvious. But for me it was helpful to consolidate my notes and then to lower my expectations of "actively" finding a solution. But rather letting my brain stare at my notes for a long time as a means to more passively find a solution. The hack gives me permission to relax and let my brain or subconscious do its work.

I think the key thing to note is that it would be less necessary, since there would be no legal means to prevent you taking apart a compiled binary, working out how to improve it, and sharing those improvements.
Are you willing to make a $1 bet predicting the general demise of the Internet advertising business? (I think the article called it a "collapse")?

I really disagree with your views on venture funding... but this Korean movie reference was funny.
True, but that still doesn't answer the question of why it's not visible in the first place.

So you don't believe that markets function primarily as an information exchange? This is a driving factor in my worldview. You're assuming that all of these investors are primarily concerned with exceedingly short-term gains if you believe this is how they operate. While that's true of day traders, by definition, I don't believe it's true more generally.

I believe it's related to the fact that uncertainty has an actual cost, and the fact that companies without CEOs (or with hastily appointed interim CEOs that were not a strategic plan) tend to not be as focused on the 2-5 year strategy as they should be. I believe it's also related to the fact that a new CEO will typically pursue a different strategy, and that consequently a solid 2 years will be eaten up (generally) in ramp-up to pursue the new goals.

Anyway, just rambling. It's late. HN is great for this.

I fail to see how it matters how long Google has owned Motorola. They are the ones making the decisions.

And this isn't just about Motorola and Microsoft. This is about the principle of ALL contributors to a standard licensing their patents in a fair way. Regardless of whether they are being sued or not or how 'nice' the counter party is.

Do you not understand that if Motorola gets away with this then it will set in a place a precedent for all H.264 patent holders to go after any licensees ? You may not understand the implication but the ITC/EU clearly do.
> App Stores have made consumer software cost expectations too cheap.

Not just that. Previously when you released a paid desktop app, you weren't expected to give out free upgrades to the user. With the App store model, if a user purchases your app at V1, and five years down the line you're making a V4, the user will probably still feel entitled to getting the "update" (note, I said update, not upgrade) for free.
It is ludicrous for one patent holder of the H.264 patent pool to demand patent royalty rates far beyond the license rate for the entire pool.

It was NEVER a negotiation.
Hi Jeff! I really don't understand your posts regarding stack exchange here. Now and in many previous threads, you defend stack exchange by explaining the model, as if we didn't understand it. Everyone here complaining about the stack exchange network understands the model perfectly. We don't buy it! We don't like it! We don't believe in it. We complain about it because we believe stack exchange would be a better place if things were done differently. Reiterating the same old story over and over again accomplishes nothing.
It is not "patent-free". If it was I am sure Google would indemnify users from patent infringement lawsuits.

Fact is that at least 12 organisations have already said that WebM infringes on their patents.

It shows how fast computer technology moves these days that he spends the whole article talking about how hard and far-off this tech is, then casually mentions that it might be available in as little as 5 years.
It IS proprietary.

Google owns WebM and unilaterally makes the decisions about the direction of the format. H.264 is a standard and driven by a standards committee and process comprising numerous companies.
I'm pretty sure he wasn't predicting a demise, just margins that won't be as sexy.
1) Allow developers to charge monthly/annual subscription pricing.

This is possible via IAP, and some apps follow this model, but unfortunately in a world of $.99 apps users just aren't willing to pay a subscription fee for a utility app.

2) Allow developers to track the success of social and internet ad campaigns.

I agree that this would be very useful, although again at a price point of $10 or below (minus 30%), all you're going to find out is that your ad campaign has negative ROI anyway.

Either way, these suggestions do nothing to prevent developers from getting acquihired if a big company comes along with a big offer - especially if they've previously raised a round of funding.

Marco has managed to avoid acquisition because he bootstrapped Instapaper entirely on his own, retains full decision making power, doesn't have investors pushing him for an exit, and hasn't received an offer he's satisfied with (yet). But I would say his situation is probably the exception rather than the norm.

This just made me realize that Android-users of newer devices may currently be in a worse spot than iOS-users when it comes to lack of Flash-support.

Since iOS has always been shipped without Flash-support, many popular sites target iOS specifically with HTML5-video. Android however, only recently lost support for Flash and is still likely getting the Flash-versions of videos instead of the HTML5 ones.

I don't know... I spend significant amount of time with paper[1] when tackling difficult problems and I haven't seen similar behaviour in coworkers in any programming job I was at, so I sometimes keep wondering if it isn't my mind that's broken - everyone else seems to do fine just sitting at their computer and coding all day, while I have to do regular breaks for paper and/or whiteboard.
