Microsoft responds to Polytron's claims that fixing Fez would be too costly
I'm not quite sure how this works. So the house is seized via eminent(1) domain and the low fair market prince is paid. Is this not paid to the owner, who then still owes the bank the extra he overpaid for the house during the bubble? How will it help that the government sells back the house him at the new market rate if he's still bankrupted trying to settle the old loan? It seems to me this just makes it all worse by bankrupting everyone who's underwater all at once.

(1)eminent = everywhere (our domain is everywhere), imminent = ready to take place.

Consider that gravity is "weak". Is it not possible that the mechanics of casimir force, which cause two objects to be pushed together from the outside, might mimic gravity which appears to be two objects attracting?

Might it be that we can't find "gravity" as an attractive force, because it is casimir forces, as repulsive forces, over several scales?

> You don't see women with big breasts on ads for female hygiene products, or, indeed, anything that doesn't target mostly (or even specifically) men.

That's simply not true. See http://www.genderads.com/page5/sexobject/sexobject.html for plenty of counter-examples.

> A long, reasoned debate showing how intelligent and wise a woman is won't do much for a 20-second ad.

Right, of course not. As I mentioned earlier, advertising is not the only medium in which this sort of objectification is prevalent.

> I don't find this any more objectionable than ads using tan, muscular men to appeal to women, which I don't find objectionable at all.

Again, I don't think you can simply swap genders and call it a fair analogy. Additionally, at least in my experience, the number of advertisements, music videos, etc. that use the sex appeal of female body parts for commercial purposes far outweighs the number of equivalent things using tan, muscular, and similarly exposed men for commercial purposes.

> I completely agree. However, I don't see anyone defending it, people are mostly just saying "this is just childish, not sexist, and isn't that big an issue".

When confronted with criticism, arguing that the subject at hand is not a big deal is defense, is it not? I'm not saying anyone's promoting more use of 0xB16B00B5 in code, but there seem to be several commenters in here saying it's fine.

> If I am wrong about this, it will be precisely because I do not know how a woman would feel in this situation, so that's a bit of a moot question to ask me specifically.

It's actually not moot. I was interested in how you thought a woman might react—a question only you can answer. The actual reactions of women would vary quite widely from one to the next, of course. I'm sure some would laugh it off; I'm sure some would be offended. Personally, I'd be afraid that more women than men would be uncomfortable in this situation, and I don't like the idea of a development culture that makes women feel less comfortable or welcome than men. That's why I personally find it offensive. If you think women would be just as comfortable with this as men, then I would understand why you would not find it offensive.
Wow, I really made people mad.
That is a comparison from 2006 using MySQL 5.0.20 (ancient!) and as such is completely irrelevant to any discussion on performance in 2012. Dramatic scalability improvements went into late 5.1.x releases, and then even more in 5.5.
> So long as they stay in the corporate world from now on. Should they switch back to a startup, plenty of users will hear "from the Sparrow team" in the future and avoid the product because they can't trust it will be available & useful for them in them when they need it.

> They sold out their reputation in the iOS & OS X software world for jobs at Google. I hope that you're right and it was worth it. From what we've seen in the past, that won't be the case. Most startup types abandon those jobs within a couple years and are back to independent development right away. They might not find the user community so welcoming the second time around.

Oh please. If they quit their Google jobs and come out with more software that is better than anything currently doing the same task it will sell like hot cakes. No one will care that a couple years ago the same people sold awesome software for really cheap and lots of people used it.
With the ability to define columns which store composite types, the line between a custom data type in C and a composite type plus casts is blurring.

Back in the 7.x line at one point I discovered that you could do something like:

create table foo (...);

create table bar (myfoo foo);

And this table would be write-only, and indeed the backend would crash when reading from it. That's the only really interesting bug I ever found in PostgreSQL. However, I made the case that it would be nice to be able to treat tuples as full-fledged data types and now by at least 8.1, that was supported.

So now I can:

create type foo as (...); -- works with create table too

create function foo_to_text .....;

create function text_to_foo ....;

create cast......

create table bar (my_foo foo);

insert into bar (my_foo) values ('my.foo.as.text'::text);

So the point is that composite types can now be used to blur the lines quite a bit between traditional custom types and the roles that composite types are traditionally used for. You can go a long way prototyping what is useful with composite types, and then later do that right in C.

Yeah, I want inherited unique constraints for things which are guaranteed unique in an inheritance tree.

However, there are ways around this. You can, for example, use a composite key with the something related to the specific table in it.

For example our note table (an abstract class if you will) has a note_class field which is set to different default values and with different check constraints on the child tables.

Also foreign keys are a bit of an annoyance in an inherited table environment.

I'm going to run on the theory you don't know Haskell. In this case, it's like someone who doesn't know OO at all asking why on Earth they'd want the Factory pattern. It isn't that I can't explain it per se, but no satisfying answer can be fit into an HN post. So I didn't try.

To forestall the "copout" accusation: Basically, being a monadic value means you get the full range of monadic programming constructs available to you while still being isolated by the type system, so you get isolation while still being able to do real work, and the STM system takes extensive advantage of the fact that the do syntax actually desugars into a long series of closures, which means it can do things like retry and choice and stuff in a natural, safe way.

But I am well aware that doesn't sound very impressive in isolation, because there's still a great deal of important nuance lost in that description, in much the same way that a similarly-detailed description of the factory pattern sounds generally unimpressive. ("What, it lets me either construct one thing or the other? Big whoop, here's how I do it in my procedural language, basically by just doing it. What's the big deal? Why does it make such a big fuss over something so simple?" Which is a good question, if asked honestly, but a terrible argument, which is how it would usually be meant.)
There aren't any legitimate scientific objectives (meaning we're excluding things like "studying sex at 1/6 G") people can accomplish on the moon that robots can't. And manned spaceflight is about a x20 multiplier, not x5.

So it should really be "100% of the objectives for 5% of the cost". Which, in a nutshell, is why we stopped sending people to the moon.

That is exactly why biggies like Microsoft should fight it out, because they have boatload of cash at their disposal. Today they pay one troll. This will set a precedent, and soon they'll end up paying more and more trolls. But, if they fight from the beginning, it might deter other trolls. They should be able to justify the cost to their shareholders. After all, they make wrong acquisitions all the time, they overpay for acquisitions, they pay heavy fines for behaving badly etc. The shareholders are still around, aren't they?
In my experience, the ADC is far from the limiting factor for linearity in an SDR receiver. The analog components up front (LNA and mixer, especially) are the limiting components. Broadband front ends make it even worse, because it's more likely you'll have an interferer passed through the filtering, even if it's nowhere near (in frequency) your signal.

Further, American white men are probably the most privileged group, just look at salaries, Fortune 500 CEOs, government positions, self-reported happiness, or sexual assault statistics. Occasional free drinks for women at bars does not make women a privileged group.

> That's simply not true. See [...] for plenty of counter-examples.

Hmm, the page of counterexamples you listed seems to be about making women feel "sexy" (it's on the ad for many of them), so it makes sense they would show "sexy" women, just like selling clothes and other items that would make men feel masculine would show buff men.

> As I mentioned earlier, advertising is not the only medium in which this sort of objectification is prevalent.

Hmm, which other media is it prevalent in that could display other qualities of a woman for the same purpose instead?

> Again, I don't think you can simply swap genders and call it a fair analogy.

I will concede that.

> When confronted with criticism, arguing that the subject at hand is not a big deal is defense, is it not?

I am not sure about this. "It's right and you shouldn't be offended" isn't the same as "it's wrong for different reasons and isn't a big deal anyway".

> It's actually not moot. I was interested in how you thought a woman might react—a question only you can answer.

Ah, okay. I answered that above, then.

> That's why I personally find it offensive. If you think women would be just as comfortable with this as men, then I would understand why you would not find it offensive.

I think this is the crux of the issue. I think women wouldn't have a problem with it, so that's why I don't have a problem with it. Maybe it's societal, though, as we can't assume the US technology sector culture is universal and the same as in other countries (I live in Greece).

Certainly people have different goals and ideas for what constitutes success. However, any company is for sale for the right offer. Conversely, any company looking to sell will turn down an offer that's bad enough. The owners may to even know what sort of offer they'll accept or reject until it's made. So, I don't know how you could add the proposed disclaimers, or how they would be useful.

I'm not sure how any of this relates to wedding rings, but I assume that's not too important anyway.
I think it's easy for me and you to understand that they were acquired for their talent but to ordinary people it just looks like they've bought something, were promised updates, and they weren't delivered. That reflects badly on all developers and it's something that's been happening a lot in the last few years. Businesses need their customers to trust them and acquihires are making the entire community look bad.

Acquihiring is irrelevant. If anything, what's making the app developer community look bad are developers making promises they don't or can't keep.

It's simple: if you promise something, deliver it.

Know why Apple doesn't pre-announce features? Because announcements are promises, and nothing can be promised until it's done. Heck, even being as careful as they are, they've announced features that never shipped. At my company, we're extremely wary of pre-announcing anything when we interact with our users and, when we do, we go to lengths to emphasize that we can't promise anything until it ships.

To be clear, I'm not accusing Sparrow's team of willfully misleading, lying, or misrepresenting anything. I'm certain they were confident their promises were good. Nor do I fault their decision to join Google; I'd probably do the same given the right compensation and opportunities. This is just a great example of why promising features is risky and should be avoided – you never know what the future will bring.

Another revenue stream, you say? Hmm. I wonder if Marco has a way for his users to pay him a little bit of money every month.
You could say "I think the economy will be the most important issue in the next election", but you could also say "The economy will probably be the most important issue in the next election," which sounds clearer, as well as less refutable.
The GPL has a small deficiency that each entity in the distribution chain has to provide source code. If it allowed that responsibility to pass through apple to the developer there wouldn't be an issue. Since apple isn't interested in performing that service, no GPL code in the app store.
I don't understand why people get all bent out of shape when software they use gets shut down. At the end of the day, it's just one app. They're are plenty of other options for email clients, and god knows better ones will come out in the future. People act as if something close to them is going away forever. It's just an email client and you can still use it, it just won't be actively updated.

I also don't understand the impetus behind blaming Google or Facebook and treating it as if they are antagonizing you as a user. They made an offer and the developers accepted it knowing they would not be able to develop their app any more. This course of events is one that the developers actively chose. Frankly, I think it's great that these guys are getting acquired. They worked hard, caught the attention of a big company and were rewarded handsomely. After all, that's why they developed the app in the first place: to make money. There's absolutely no warrant for you to expect that the developers put their lives on hold so that you can have a piece of software.

As for Instapaper, I think that Marco is disconnected. If he is in a position where he has enough money so as to be able to ignore offers for his app and instead run a lifestyle business, fine. I also think that part of his attitude towards a buyout comes from the fact that, despite that he denies it and refers to it in jest, Marco is actually fairly rich. He was one of the earliest employees at Tumblr, a company now worth ~800m. That means that even the most minimal equity would give him a net worth in the millions. That's great for Marco. But I'd imagine that very few people are in his place. A lot of app developers probably dream of being acquired. Who can blame them? Everyone wants money.

So, although Marco has enough money where he can basically ignore the need to sell, most app developers don't. The Sparrow guys obviously didn't.

“you can just put an LCD screen with the same resolution on the outside of the glasses, and use it to block real-world pixels however you like.” That’s a clever idea, but it doesn’t work. [..] a pixel at that distance would show up as a translucent blob several degrees across

The LCD solution was the first one that came to my mind too, and I'm surely missing something here but why wouldn't the regular translucent pixels suffer from the same problem as that above?

"Same with SO: I want my answer so I can get back to the project at hand."

The problem there is, where does the motivation for people to provide you with "your answer" come from?

Do you really think there's pool of people out there who think "Maybe RegEx has a problem at work today, I'll just go check StackOverflow to see if I can answer todays question for him."?

Or do you think it's more likely there are a bunch of people interested in various coding topics, who enjoy discussing problems and solutions? How long do you supposed that second group of people will hang around if "strict moderation" starts deleting any "interesting discussion", because questioners are complaining "I just want my damned answer!"?

Sure, StackOverflow reputation points are one source of motivation, but if I had the choice between getting my questions answered by people wishing to maximise their StackOverflow reputation, and getting my questions discussed by people who're interested and engaged experts in the field - I'd join the second discussion every time.
