The former claim is absolutely true, and I'm not happy about it. But that is surely the standard for all ARM devices out today, is it not? Locked bootloaders?

Anyway, the latter claim is purely conjecture. Why would they change convention once everyone has already implemented all this standard/custom mode stuff that they require for 8?
> Google Glass-style device is ready for the market and some sort of car-friendly voice-controlled heads-up-display

I am sorry but anyone who thinks devices like these are going to be some wild success are ignorant of the realities of our society.

People do not want to be recorded by random third parties and existing privacy laws in many countries respect that. As such the current use case of the device is likely to be illegal from day one. Throw in the problems of recording of children, recording inside workplaces and public institutions, complications for law enforcement, distraction whilst driving etc. The end result being the only place you could safely wear them is inside your own home.

Do I think it will be common in the future. Sure. But society and the law moves a lot slower than people realise.
I've got a better idea. Transfer. Nobody should tolerate this level of self-aggrandizement (in the form of "punishment" from anybody, even if they broke some rules.

The student made the administration of the school look bad/made them uncomfortable and they're making him pay the price. You don't have to play their games. Just leave.
I'm sure Cory would have given a talk in 1970 on "The Coming War on General Purpose Hardware" where he bemoans the rise of the integrated circuit and an end to you being able to rearrange the components in your computer to suit your whims.

There's nothing worrying about it. What's happening is what used to be general purpose is now becoming an appliance.

Until Cory is out there petitioning blender makers to open their firmware, he's just grabbing headlines with this nonsense.

> that secure boot be able to be turned off and users be able to add their own keys?

On x86, but not on ARM. And that's quite possibly more important, because ARM platforms are likely porting targets for things like Android that "regular users" might actually want.
Not nearly. There is so much to be explored, even with current technologies like NFC, Bluetooth LE, OLED, pico-projectors, sensors, mesh networking, that current phones will look ancient in 5 years.
Looks like someone owns some Apple stock.
I don't understand why the author seems against UEFI in general. I can understand the concerns with Secure Boot, but that's only part of the spec. Am I missing something?
Still one of the best SF shorts ever written.
Just about any system works in times of great plenty. The real test of Valve's model will be when things aren't so good.
I think the whole notion of customers weighing specs carefully and choosing one high end Android phone over the other is overblown. If the salesman really wants to sell you the EVO you'll probably end up with the EVO.

Of course some people do come in with their heart set on something they or a friend had so I'm sure the brand thing you're talking about is real. I don't think it's the reason for the magnitude of what's being claimed for it here. Intending to buy a Samsung phone only works if the store is selling Samsung phones and we saw a nice version of this math play out while the iphone was only on AT&T and at 17% US market share. It's a tribute to Samsung's marketing staff that pretty much every store has a bunch of Samsung phones at all price points in it.

In another post here I demonstrate even if demand were even for the two of them the absence of the HTC One at Verizon would result in a huge sales disparity.

There's an oft cited idea that I don't entirely agree with but seems useful here: the real customers for Android phones are the carriers.

I suppose you could say that this sort of thing serves as a nice "education" in how the real world works sometimes.

I personally like to keep all my online work disconnected from my real-life identity.

If he'd written this app anonymously, since it only uses guest logins, the university would have no idea who wrote it. They might disable the guest access, but they couldn't have punished him personally.

Unless they were willing to commit to a lawsuit and managed to convince a judge to allow a subpoena of the app's financial records...
The worry is that in the future, the setting will not exist on x86. Considering it doesn't exist on ARM today, I do not think this is unreasonable.

If it were guaranteed to always be user configurable, forever, I would actually be quite enthusiastic about secure boot.
Same here with the One S. Only shame is that it's not AOSP, but at least there's a mostly-working CM10 available.
Not a dime. I'm just tired of listening to willfully obtuse dilettantes try to calculate the exact instant they should be "over" Apple so they don't get caught looking uncool.
Is there a contact number or email address where we can speak to the people in charge at the university? Even if it doesn't change the punishment, they should be aware of how they are portraying their institution.

> Their push for a tax holiday is going to go over extremely poorly in an election year.

Apple is not the only company requesting this and most of the discussions have been behind closed door. It hasn't been an issue previously and won't be an issue in the future.

>Their extremely slow iPhone hardware update cycle leaves them vulnerable to fast-evolving competitors and a single bad product will poison the well for years.

The update cycle has been in place for a number of generations now and every successive update has been more successful than the last. So this is factually baseless. Also many people like the fact that Apple supports their devices a lot longer than Android OEMs.

>The colossal amount of value stored nowadays in a single Apple ID means the damage from a security breach or intrusion is astronomical.

No different than if your online banking, Amazon, Google login was compromised. And infinitely more 'value' can be obtained by simply stealing a person's laptop or phone.

> Apple has nothing interesting or heartening to say about their law enforcement policies vis a vis the data they collect.

No evidence that this is an issue for most people. Telcos you would argue have a longer and deeper history of compliance with federal enforcement agencies and there hasn't been much of a uproar about it.

> Stitched leatherette Contacts.

Again factually baseless that this has impacted Apple in any way. Overwhelming popularity of recent iOS and OSX updates discredit your belief that it is an issue. Not to mention Apple has had 'unique' UI metaphors in place since 10.0 beta with Aqua, Pinstripes, Brushed Metal etc.
Dragonfly is quite nice, but we opted not to use it for a handful of reasons: ImageMagick itself is a actually a good bit slower for basic resizing/cropping/rotating than the library we're using in Photon; Photon is ~100 SLOC, Dragonfly is ~3500; Photos are the core of our business, so a generic solution is not likely to work 100% how we need it to (we have various legacy concerns that probably would've require more code to monkey patch Dragonfly than to just write it into Photon); Java is much better than Ruby for CPU and RAM bound tasks that need to execute in parallel.

All that said, Dragonfly is a great choice for most people.
> Programming is an information technology, and being a technology facilitates greater efficiency.

Which is not always a good thing. Sometimes the fact that a task is tedious or confusing should cause us to re-think the necessity of doing the task. Thanks to IT we can wind up doing something stupid really well, rather than realizing that maybe we shouldn't do it in the first place.

(I love programming, but I sometimes despair at how useless most of what I do really is)

The iPad held 73% of the tablet market last year, most of which came from market entrants who entered solely for the iPad. I don't know what by metric you're judging 'lust' (hopefully it's not just your desire), but its hard to imagine a more impressive performance.
I've looked at Ember.js in the past, but frankly, I've been intimidated by the lack of good documentation and examples. I'm not an expert like some of you and I really need good tutorials. Backbone excels because of the large community. Knockout has some killer walkthroughs - http://learn.knockoutjs.com/. Now that Ember.js 1.0 is on the horizon, is this getting better? I want to learn!
Funny you should mention that. I put a blender there. It was made out of printed parts, so it would only last a month before I’d need to print new bearings and other moving parts.

Anyway, no, the problem is that other people get to decide what software you get to run on your computer. And those people aren't engineers who want to build cheaper and more convenient, if limited, appliances. The people who will be deciding what software you can run are the lawyers and congressional lobbyists.
Why is that? As a long time Windows user who only recently switched to a Unix system, I was unfamiliar with dot files. Windows uses a different method to hide files. Would you call me stupid because of that? Once I gained the knowledge I needed, these files were no longer a mystery (in fact I learned that there are actually three ways to hide files in Unix systems).

For a lot of sites the code is pretty much the sum of the business and the rest is just customer acquisition which plenty of people will have more experience and money and smarts to figure out better and faster than you. Maybe not directly at your expense but it's easy to imagine bidding against competitors you created or gave a head start to in AdWords.

There are exceptions, anything where the code is secondary to the community or something like reddit.
Actually this and that giant iPod Speaker was probably two of the most subtle yet genius decisions Apple ever made.

They demonstrated to accessory manufacturers that there was a lucrative market for them to get participate in. Not to mention putting "facts on the ground" about expected sales, profit margins etc for them to build their product strategy around.

One might choose to use the array datatype, combined with GiST, GIN, and/or expression based indexes, depending on the workload. That would be somewhat more lucid in most situations than a string packed into an attribute.
But if you want an Android ARM tablet you could always just buy one.
> If they are trying to prevent people from running Linux or Windows 7 [...]

If they were trying to do this, all they'd have to do is tell OEMs to only allow the system to boot with Windows bootmgr. No fancy signature checking required! And they could have done it at any point in the past, even with BIOS.
w.r.t "useless": Joins against memcached data, and expiry of keys via trigger. Different, yes, useless -- well, up to you. Not written for no reason, though.
Clearly the author knows nothing about UEFI other than it has secure boot.
Is it possible to export all the data to a service like dropbox automatically, so that if you do disappear, it really is forever?
I too signed up for the waiting list over a year ago and recently received an invite. But I just didn't see any compelling reason to move. Right now I'm using a combination of 'real' banks + ING direct and feel like I get the best of both worlds
Hold on, there. Every one knows it is impossible to get a copy of the Code of Conduct.
You might want to watch Cory Doctorow and read John Walker, to understand that the current UEFI implementation is just a first shot of the coming war on general computation.

And I think we have to fight them early, before its to late.
Programming is not a job I think I will ever be able to retire from. I might have to retire, but I don't think it will be willingly.
Was it a public interface? My read is that his app was logging in to the university system with his personal credentials.

It's not clear why there couldn't be a public read-only interface for that data, and it's a shame the U wasn't willing to work with him on it rather than slap him down reflexively. But it is reasonable for them to object to his use of his personal account to enable a for-profit project.
What is wrong with their branding. Sure the genius ads didn't go off that well, but I didn't find the message to be that bad. And as for the "new iPad", I'd love to hear your thoughts.
It's always bothered me how (even state-funded) universities tend to act as autonomous legal bodies. It's especially disheartening to see them trample on the bill of rights (e.g. most universities will have a "policy" that you basically can't say anything bad about them). If you do break some arbitrary rule, you can expect an arbitrary punishment for it. When it comes down to it, they can make you do whatever they want you to until you are no longer a student.

I think this MySQL feature has the potential to be neat, but if one is using it in the mode where one persists or faults to disk it seems like the biggest feature will not be performance, but protocol-compatibility and ease of development and deployment.

It seems like there are a few tuning modes relayed in the documents that have various persistence trade-offs, though, so the performance angle of the protocol could come into play.

I'd like Postgres to be able to support some kind of carefully-sized multi-backend caching utility someday, but as an extension if at all possible. I think such a thing is technically not that exotic (but still a lot of work), yet does not exist AFAIK. Prepared statements would usually be fast enough as-is if one had the right backend functions (UDFS) I suspect.
More hours can drop productivity. You can't treat those as independent sliders.
I always like to think of programming has being able to play with an unlimited supply of legos that can actually do stuff.

Your friend thinks programming sucks? Guess he doesn't like video games, action movies, smartphones or anything else programming makes possible.
In a word: yes.

Features are being added, but not removed - at least, not unprefixed ones, even if the vendor prefix process seems to be a little broken. If your app breaks, it's probably either your fault for trying to manually detect browsers or use unsupported features, or a bug that can be fixed relatively quickly (and in the meantime, you can always advise switching browsers, as ugly as that is). If it doesn't work because the user's browser is too old, the advice should just be to use a browser that keeps itself up to date.

Last week was the break-points were not hit anymore(a little nightmare, now solved! But made me go back to Firefox for a week).
And this week are visual errors, like trailing borders when mouse overing links, round corners that are cut,...

All in all, I find more positive reasons than negative to live on a moving platform, and knowing that my clients will run the same and last version as I do.
This seems like a very handwavy dismissal of the difficult problem of backwards compatibility.

Exactly, my thoughts. I can show you from my friends list how many young college kids setup an Android app or Wordpress blog with high hopes of becoming TechCrunch or Mashable someday and update their current working positions to 'CEO at <insert blog /app name here>'. CEO because they run a Wordpress blog/ Android app? Wow, that is now ridiculous!

this is exactly the problem, Microsoft is completely free to change this requirement at any time, also consider the fact they never mandated it previously, until there was a massive outcry.

Another problem is early indications are that disabling secure boot on many of these machines involves re-flashing the firmware entirely, with a ton of steps, and a lot of room for "buggy" behaviour

Compare something like CableCard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CableCARD, where before the FCC mandated that all receivers must use it, people with HD TIVOs would regularly go through dozens of cards because they stopped working randomly, a complete coincidence of course...

I think its atrocious that Microsoft has turned a supposedly open standard (UEFI) into a standard that gives them complete control of modern PCs.

Its easy to obscure the real issue with discussions about rootkits and security, but these infact have nothing to do with how the exact specifics of this particular technology are implemented, and the problems that result.

This a classic example of the syllogistic fallacy (we must do something -> this is something -> we must do this). These issues need to be separated.

The real question is, why should this obvious conflict of interest even be allowed to exist.
You can see bug fixes on a tracker sure. But how many lines of code is that going to be compared to a new feature or game?
