This isn't a replacement for the replay tool. Its like the NFL: teams have access to every camera angle possible - but I'll tell you they couldn't live without the overhead cam once they had it :)

I think my idea appeals to:
* moderate to very active player. People who want to a) analyze their gameplay (like nfl/nhl/nba/* teams watching film) b) show others something cool/bad that happened
* tournaments and tourney players. There are tons of avenues here and potential. Not gonna go into it here.
* pros. I think to really appeal to them I need some more features. I have some good ones in mind that I think would be useful. Hopefully I get some traction on this POC so I can implement em.

I personally fell into the 1st cat - I wanted a way to watch replays w/o having game installed. I wanted to watch it from anywhere AND see exactly what the opp. was doing at the same time as me. I don't like doing the player-to-player comparison w/in the SC2 replay tool.

I think this also opens the game to a user base who may not otherwise be exposed to the game (the real game, not just trailer or clips). AKA people who kinda know what SC2 is, and are gamers. This 0 barrier to entry exposes potential new customers of the game.
Nothing to see, typical phoronix linkbait, just speculation, move along.
I don't get it, what's so special about this?

Seeing as FB is built using HTML and CSS I don't see this as especially hard.

Also, the <article> and <section> tags would fit nicely in your markup.
I think this is a good place to enter the "Right tool for the job" argument. The right tool not being PHP.

Code here looks good on first look tho.
I don't know why this was downvoted. This is a very accurate representation of Apple philosophy in a nutshell.
If they didn't test it, it might have broken. That outcome is still better than what happened, where they ensured it became completely unusable.
I get that the Stack Exchange license allows content to be legally reused, but this just seems like a tacky pageview grab from Ars.

No Perl support. But, it looks like it's a Cloud Foundry thing:

Not only that, but to do it to an (apparently unpopular) minority of users is indeed shameful.
> As I understand it, 2/3 of MS revenue, and practically all of their profit, is now from b2b. Their core market simply isn't consumers anymore, and hasn't been for a while. (This probably explains rather well why they are so anemic in consumer space).
If you found this interesting, I can recommend the 3rd episode of the British show "Black Mirror".
Are sandboxed applications from the Mac App Store able to access these files? Sincere question, I'm not sure what the sandbox limitations are.
Yep. The very example I was talking about was written in Ocaml. It was in an earlier version of my web site compiler: http://loup-vaillant.fr/projects/ussm/

I liked Hughes paper. Funnily enough, the lack of laziness in Ocaml quite hindered me when I wrote and used my Parsec clone (again in USSM, but in the current version).
Yes. Its not hard. But its not easy to decipher facebook html and use it in a website.

I didnt use any extra markup or html5 tags. Its up to you to add article and section tags for any content you deem appropriate.
Absolutely not. This is where the line is drawn.

I've grown to accept Apple's App Store policies for the sake of keeping app quality high. However, when it comes to distributing content that people actually use to learn new things and enrich their lives, there is absolutely no room for this type of policy. To anyone who is selling their books via Apple: GTFO right now.
>> This is intended to be constructive criticism, though you may find it harsh.

Any criticism is good right about now

It's very much a competitor to GMail, in that it's essentially GMail with some filtering and IMAP magic on top

To start with, my problem that I am attempting to solve is notifications for things I'm not interested in in the middle of the day, which I have attempted to solve with notifications + funnel

The distinctive advantage is the ability to modify when email is sent to you, plus the ability to filter different types of email (transactional, newsletter, human beings)

You're right on the unprofessional copy, I'm sorry, and the punctuation mistakes are simply a flaw in my English (It is my first language, there is no excuse)

I spent 3 months on the backend making sure it receives email perfectly, and securely, and I could not find a mail server written in Ruby which I could modify and add features like Funnel to

It supports IMAP, IMAP is the primary method which devices will retrieve email with (ActiveSync is patented by Microsoft, who would like licensing fees)

It will also support Android, as in, the native mail app on Android, I am just prioritising iOS first because it avoids competition with native GMail, which as one person, is nigh on impossible

Yes, it's primarily geared towards iOS devices for now, because I don't think I can compete with the GMail + Android paring yet

Thank you very much for the criticism, I'll do some changes now

EDIT: changes are live, viva la full stop.
The phrase "clinical depression" distinguishes depression (in the clinical, officially-diagnosed sense) from depression (in the informal, no-more-cookies-angst sense).

If you want to know more about the technical meaning of "depression," consult DSM.
This is interacting with one's tools as a human being. But Apple's customers are self-selected to want to avoid that responsibility.
Honestly that video seemed from the start like a horrific distopian nightmare.

If anything, the end distracted from the empty and idiotic quality of the characters normal activities - prompted for every task, "congratulated" on every "victory". The guy's "sport coat" comment was just painful in revealing someone who knew and had nothing to say.

I did seem like a realistic scenario to boot.
Vim - The file explorer
Dude, I'm sorry but you're on your own. Mozilla needed to do this a long time ago and believe me, it's for the greater general good.
Lets not get of topic: A new version of the software refuses to read the old version's data.

It's unworthy of a modern day app, especially a non-third-party app.

It's especially unfortunate that this upgrade is bundled with a larger OS upgrade. Likewise that a proprietary format was used for the data.

This falls short of the integrated experience and "just works" attitude that Apple prizes itself on.

Backward compatibility has never been a strength of Apple's. Floppy, Classic, PowerPC, and recently optical discs have fallen to the wayside.

The data is not deleted. That's significant especially in principle.

This has little to do with other policies of Apple, such as their "control the user experience" attitude. Nothing about their policy prohibits handling this better.
And the NSA has what to do with that?

My point is that the government aren't the only people trying to fuck us. The private sector, big and small, is trying to do so as well.
> more or less the same for each site, with one of the sites being slightly different

That's because the Clojure library isolated you from the vastly different interpretations that those providers have of the spec. Had you written your connectors from scratch, you would have experienced the "mess."
Until now I don't think I have ever thought of the idea that greed could be applied to anything non-materialistic.

I fall into the same category as the OP and many others who replied here: I'm in my mid twenties, have all my needs covered, yet feel as if I've been missing out on some greater destiny that has been set for me.

My life is good, I have accomplished many things and I can and should be happy about them, but I find myself being "greedy" for more. I find myself looking for happiness in things (experiences and accomplishments in this case) that I don't actually possess rather than just enjoying the things that I do have.

Thank you for the insight.
How is using a functionality that comes with the OS, and then upgrading the OS an "edge case"?
27C3, CCC Camp 2011, and 28C3 all had their own GSM networks as well. http://events.ccc.de/congress/2011/wiki/GSM#GSM_Network_at_2... It was really interesting talking to the crew running it and discovering how GSM works. Hopefully they'll be back this year at 29C3
Having reusable tools in the first place, to make it a problem simple enough to solve with a shell script, is the accomplishment that advances the state of our art. It reduces a complex data structure to passing data through a pipe, which makes the algorithm more usable for more people.

I wrote in a literate programming style for years, to generate LaTeX documents and a world-scale build system for a multinational. But I'm past that, since it's intricate and unmaintainable by others. Instead, I'd rather generate documents in UTF-8 (an ASCII-compatible and increasingly universal format), and sets of small tools which call each other and expose their data in files for new tools to use. With this approach I can evolve the toolset in small, state-preserving steps, to minimize how much I have to code to meet current needs and implement new approaches.
I know that there's some subtlety to correctly getting meaning out of probability, and I vaguely remember having similar doubts about my approach because of this.

That said, this simple model didn't fail to explain any of the concepts I learned in elementary discrete and continuous probability. It was especially useful for understanding the latter.

I don't have a lot of brain-RAM, and I find that I get confused the second that I stop focusing on "sets of outcomes". Also, for me, attempts to use "common-sense rules" about expectation seem to fail quickest of all.

I didn't really read too much. Again where did Gates and Zuckerberg drop out from? We're not talking about East Savanah Technical College here. Gates, Jobs, and Zuckerberg are the worst examples you could pick to show that people are shedding long held beliefs about education. They are outliers in several different senses.
Sad, but expected from apple. Oh well, there's apple's book suicide. B&N is already dead with its 16gb Nook with only 1gb for user content. That really only leaves Amazon or full self publishing (on your site). Interesting how the winner wins sometimes ...

Awesome, glad you enjoyed my story! Hope you make a bit of money off your side projects (or perhaps find a way to monetize them and keep them in your portfolio)
Yep, that's a little annoying. You clearly see the problem, but for anyone who didn't: I did use "iBookstore" (with lower-case i) when I submitted the article, not "IBookstore".
That isn't true. Software is just a kind of tool. Some software is fart apps, some is enterprise CRM but a lot is really useful in tangible ways that have nothing directly to do with capitalism.

I also disagree with the implication that there is something inherently unworthy with selling things on the free market. This is the way most people on earth get most of the things they need and in many cases it is the most efficient rationing mechanism practicable.

Beyond all this, it's good to do things you love. If someone really enjoys the activity then it is none of my business to say they shouldn't because it is at worst quite harmless.
GMail doesn't have a proper API (POP and IMAP obviously don't count) so things are hard.

Xobni and Rapportive (since purchased by LinkedIn) have GMail apps, both scraped and injected themselves into the DOM via Chrome extensions.
1.plus(1) looks quite sensible to me (every vector/matrix library I've seen has had a v.plus(v) or m.times(m) that returned a copy), though obviously sugar improves it. Sugar is irrelevant to OO vs procedural though.

OO is a good way to think about sockets because sockets are state machines. There's nothing wrong with passing around a socket called "this" to every procedure, but if you're doing that then you're just doing OO clumsily (i.e. without the benefit of being able to transparently substitute an SSL socket at a later point in time).

This reminds me of a joyful experience when using an online banking service just a few years ago. When signing up for an account, I don't recall where in the process it occurred but a prompt displayed that the words "insert" or "drop" were not allowed to be used as (or within) a username or password. Nope, we're not going to allow SQL injections here because simply because the words themselves are unacceptable!

If we ignore something, then we must be safe right?
This is Stack Exchange's idea, actually:

Every couple weeks, Stack Exchange chops up some of our best Programmers content and sends it to one of our favorite websites: Ars Technica.

The fact that she should have done that is completely irrelevant to whether Apple should have provided a way to export her data, much like you can't just run over a pedestrian on a crosswalk just because he forgot to look both ways.
Wait, how does it matter how much he makes? If it's allowed, it should be allowed regardless of how much he makes. If it's not, we have all witnessed cases where people not earning a cent were shut down by copyrighters and sometimes assigned outrageous damage numbers.

Google has the right to refuse to talk to you, however if they operate in a broadcast manner, i.e serving anyone who comes, they are not entitled to use law's power to block people from doing what they don't like. They could make a filter on the site that would not serve specific calls, etc. - but C&D is quite a different matter I think. It's like saying "I'm not going to the movies with you" vs. restraining order. I don't think Google is entitled to the restraining order just because they don't like how somebody uses their broadcasts.
Agreed. As I write if you have will to learn Linux server management, you can easily achive what it offers. I can use PaaS if the price as low as not worth to do server administration. With same price point, I can have a real hardware with 12x more RAM and 1.5 TB disk cap and I can also add a skill to myself which is a good thing for long-term. Nowadays adding a service to your infrastructure is just an apt-get command. Deployment is easy as a git push. I totally understand who don't want to deal with terminals, config files etc. But as I said for me it is far from useful.

Is there any actual proof for this? The article mentions briefly that part of her book was the problem but I don't see any actual letters from apple or even an in depth explanation of what happened. Just some impassioned outrage.

I'm not saying she is dishonest, maybe just misinformed or wrong. It seems like everytime stuff like this comes up it turns out there was important information left out.
Only tangentially related, but is the new Apple TV a better but than an HTPC if you hack it to run Plex? It's attractively inexpensive but I can't be tied to what I have in my iTunes library.
OK, I thought about it. I concluded that the smart thing to do is to end the War on Some Drugs and stop the escalation between the immovable, inevitable rocks on one side and the forces with infinite Federal funding on the other side.
While many people may be bemoaning the choice of Mozilla to update without consent, I suggest looking at it from a different perspective...

Many browser updates are largely brought about due to a few things, but security is generally a large matter when these upgrades get pushed. Yes, you may have kept a certain version for a reason (you don't want to change, you like the way it looks, etc), but let's focus on the other side of this with a short analogy. Say you go out and buy a new fire alarm and install it at your house. The fire alarm is there to help protect you from dying in a fire. Later, the manufacturing company realizes there are some minor design flaws which put you at risk of, well, dying in a fire. Most would argue that it is not only the duty and obligation of the company to replace (or upgrade) the alarm, but that it may even be right to legally mandate that they do. If the company came to you and said that there were some major flaws and they wanted to upgrade you, I doubt anyone would whine that they like the way the current model looks and want to pass.

However, when a browser does it, everyone bitches about it. The updates are there for many reasons, not just security. Generally speaking, however, browser updates not only benefit your own security, but also help make the web a better place for everyone, whether it be by better standards adherence, improved usability tools, or who knows what else.

One of the big reasons that this becomes a problem is that people dislike change, but on a larger scale, they dislike change of something they don't understand. Browsers, computers, the web, etc are very abstracted away from people to a point that most don't know anything about the way the tools they use on a daily basis work. When those tools change, it appears like some corporate robot is changing it to hurt them because they don't understand the reasons these things NEED to be updated. There isn't enough transparency on WHY the changes happen (there are in the changelogs, but try to get your mother to read or understand that) and understanding of the base layers and it makes it very hard for people to understand.

I think one step forward here is to present users with a laymans explanation on why they need to update their browser. Telling them "We need to update your browser because we've discovered a potential problem where someone could possibly steal your credit card number while making purchases" is a lot more straightforward than this: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/13.0.1/releasenotes/
I have no special insight here, but it seems odd that MSFT would spend so much effort on DirectX if gamers are strategically unimportant to them.
IIRC the initial setup process of an iOS device walks you through this step by step. I don't remember doing any of these steps when I signed into Messages on OSX. This article seems to be more for the people who skipped associating an e-mail address with their iMessages settings the first time around?

I have an install of Firefox 3.6 because an application I develop uses the version of Spidermonkey that shipped with 3.6.

It's nice to be able to easily test code and get a rough performance profile in the same environment.
Nonsense. Often the case is you vote someone in, and then they turn around and do things they were not voted in to do, or do things they campaigned on not doing or vice versa.

One is responsible for their own actions.
Who cares where they dropped out from? All people hear is "you must have a degree to be successful" and then they hear "oh, these people didn't have degrees and are still successful." You give too much credit to believe the vast majority of people actually consider the backgrounds of these so-called outliers. These are the same people who previously bought into the "you must have a degree" line in the first place.
Same response with the Rackspace + Python setup. App is showed up in dashboard but I couldn't start it. Created domain returns a 404 page.
Certainly its achievable but it would be a massive undertaking, before that they need to focus on retrieving some of those aged tweets and stopping the whales from taking over.

I do agree with your point about generally in having a more realtime and relevant serach engine. But I think instead of twitter some one working across networks would be in a better position.

bit.ly is going in this direction with its redesign and rt.ly and social sharing widgets like Addthis and Sharethis would also have a very good view of realtime data. That they could use.

The only advantage I could see with twitter is if they do sentiment analysis of the tweet text and then understand relevance. The context they have available could be akin to how google bot uses link title and anchor text but with 140characters more focused.

Twitter ending availability I think had more to do with google clearing space to forthcoming integration of g+
I posted this on teamliquid. People seem extremely excited. There are some suggestions going on there. I'm not sure if you know the teamliquid community. They're huge, very active and helpful. I'm sure you'll get some nice feedback there.

Scroll down to "Previous Posts in this Discussion" and click the links. She goes through the whole thing, including the actual email from Apple.
I agree with most of what you said, but I think it's worth pointing out that there are ways to muse about one's human failings, disappointments, and struggles without striking people as obnoxious or whiny.

Sqrrl: Unlock the Power of Big Data
If Apple charge $25 for a patent that isn't worth that much then people won't licence it and will find alternatives. If Samsung charges a high rate for one patent (of hundreds) people have to either completely drop the standard or pay.

I don't know if the Samsung patents are groundbreaking or not. It could be that there were other similar options the standards committee could have selected but with Samsung in the room the choice with the Samsung patent was made so all implementers need a license.

Big companies often want to get their technology into the standard as that enables them to get a small per unit license fee across large numbers of devices. I know that was the case when I worked at Sony. If Samsung didn't want to make that patent FRAND they could have made it clear during standardisation and I'm sure it would have been left out. If patents in this area don't get into standards they are effectively worthless.

Remember that the a group of competitors sitting in a room discussing future terms of business is either a standards committee or an illegal cartel. The difference is the rules under which they operate to give others access to the market which include the FRAND commitments.
Imagine that Apple decided in the next OSX release to discontinue Safari. Would Apple need to include a utility for users to export their bookmarks/cookies etc before upgrading?

She's a developer, a self-proclaimed "Apple fan girl" but she didn't read up the release notes for ML.

The world changes, features come and go. Expecting them to stay static or to provide you with with air bags in case of impact is unrealistic.
That line was crossed when you dealt with a vendor who could actively interfere with your dealings with other vendors, even before they chose to.
