You mean, no regex incremental search, single character undo and no split views? Yeah, works beautifully.

There are too many alternatives that overtook TM quite a while ago. Look at Chocolat for kinda Textmate-done-right, or Sublime Text 2 for something that goes well beyond Textmate.

But then, if you are happy with it, more power to you. It's not like it is broken...
Are you kidding? I'd estimate there is a small army of cyberpunk fans out there who would jump at the chance to use a mind-computer interface to control a robot.

I have an S3, and the screenshot thing is actually very neat and handy. It is a bit wonky when you try to capture apps with scrollable windows, but it never misfires. You have to basically press the side of your palm on the screen and move it from left to right.
How large would a 12m line long .csv file be?

Not sure how many bytes per entry, but it would be of the order of gigabytes.
what kind of verification do you have that the file was pulled from an FBI computer?

could anonymous have hacked this information from Apple or a carrier themselves? what information is present that they didn't do that?

>> I have no idea whether or not mental outlook has that effect but we're damning a US senate candidate who said that it did.

> I don't think that was quite what he said, if you are referring to Tod Akin.

Actually, it was. He said that women who were raped were less likely to concieve. He didn't specify the mechanism, but mental state is the only plausible candidate.

Like I said, a huge fraction of the population believes that mental state affects conception. Moreover, I'll bet that I can find at least one law protecting women that was enacted based, at least partly, on that theory.

Or, do you want to argue that how he said it matters?

Or, do you want to argue that the mental distress associated with rape has different effects than other mental distress?

It was a monumentally stupid thing to say, but not because of the scientific truth or lack thereof.

And, if a Democrat had said it, it wouldn't have been an issue and you'd have defended said Democrat. See, for example, the near-daily gaffes of VP Biden. Or, Obama's "you didn't build that".
> No, they only need to describe the statistical probability of an error

I can see that comprehension is not your strong suit. As I said, they must show that a mistake was, or could have been made.

You can show that a mistake could have been made by showing the statistical probability of an error. Generally, this statistical evidence must be sufficiently specific as to apply to the circumstances of the matter at hand.
All the time! We use PHP, so each request is a blank slate -- persistent state is all in mysql, redis and memcached.
DB schemas are pushed/applied before the code that uses them.
Also if it wasn't clear: all those steps are automated, other than running the "I want trunk on prod now" script. We really should make that a post-test hook. Any year now ;-)
Couldn't agree more. People do craziest of things for the sake of body art so there should be at least a couple of cyberpunk freaks out there with equal eagerness for modifying their bodies.
The funny thing is the gangs are somewhat orderly. They used to have offices. You know, like if the Gambinos had a building in NYC with "The Gambino Group" on a big sign out in front. Members wore lapel pins with their gang's symbol and sported those wild tattoos, so there was never any doubt who was Yakuza and who wasn't.

The cops don't care if the Yakuza kill each other as long as it isn't in a big splashy, public way. A guy could have two holes in the back of his head and as soon as they see tattoos they'll rule it suicide. The newspapers do the same thing. Jake Adelstein said he was going to write up a murder and his boss told him "Nobody cares when a gangster gets killed. Don't bother." The Yakuza are "outlaws" in the original sense of the English word - they break the law and also they're not under the protection of the law.

They mostly made their money running pachinko parlors, brothels, extortion, and selling drugs. But are lines they Yakuza can't cross, like killing a member of the general public or a white foreigner. If they do that bosses go to jail, offices are shut down, soap palaces are raided. If you got caught killing another Yakuza the penalty used to be two or three years in jail. If you killed a member of the general public you got the death penalty.

Things are changing. They don't do the huge parades when someone important gets out of jail any more, the younger guys don't get tattoos or wear lapel pins, and many of the offices and pachinko parlors have been shut down. Murdering another Yakuza carries stiffer penalties (when the cops bother). You can't go to a public bath if you have tattoos any more. They're being driven underground. Personally, I think that will make them more like organized crime in other countries - more violent and more willing to involve normal people.

If you're interested in the subject Tokyo Vice by Jake Adelstein is a good read. So is Yakuza Moon: Memoirs of a Gangster's Daughter by Shoko Tendo.
On Ubuntu to install a third-party app, like Chrome or Skype, you just double-click the dpk, a wizard pops up, you click Install, and all dependencies are taken care of.

The process is much better than on OSX. Think about how no app installs Growl automatically.
Making cheeseburgers and fries is replicable, but I am not going after a piece of mcburger's pie 1st thing tomorrow (well, maybe I am, maybe I'm not). Selling is harder than most code jockeys can manage, so there is low risk. I think what you mean is that others are reading HNews too.
doesn't sound as though he is claiming that you can't take credit for building a business, just that you can't take all the credit.

Yes, he's saying you can't take all the credit, which means that you can't "take credit" for it.

Taking credit has an implied "all the", as in, "take [all the] credit."

This distinction actually matters. Obama is taking something absolute -- This is my business, these are my profits -- and turning it into something vague. That vagueness leaves plenty of room for all kinds of government controls and taxes.

In fact, contra Obama, if you built a business, it is rightly your business, along with all of the profits (and all of the credit).
Ubuntu Software Center doesn't prompt about dependencies... it just goes ahead and installs them. At least that's the default behaviour on 12.04 on my two machines.
All of these things are requirements dor a modern society. They are used by everyone. Entrepreneurs and businesses are just one class of users.

If you travelled in time back to the 1500's you would use whatever infrastructure in place wherever you land. It isn't any different today.

The government didn't create the Internet as we know it today. Yes ARPAnet was the genesis of what eventually became the modern Internet. Private entrepreneurs investing massively in both time and money carved out the the modern Internet.

The modern Internet would have happened without ARPAnet. Services such as Compuserve and a myriad of BBS's were already carving out that space. France had an Internet-like system before the Internet. As things happened the modern Internet evolved from ARPAnet, but I do not, for one second, subscribe to the idea that we owe the modern Internet to the US government. And much less so that the aforementioned web designer has anything to thank the US government for.

We elect officials to run the country, uphold laws and provide agreed-upon services. And we all pay for the cost of those services (dearly, I might add). Everyone benefits from this. That businesses spring up and use the available infrastructure is only natural. To propose that businesses somehow owe government for the existing infrastructure is preposterous. Part of the political game is, of course, to pander to the unions, which are very receptive to these kinds of messages.

Does Apple owe its success to the Chinese government for putting into place the infrastructure that allowed them to bring the iPhone to market? I don't think so. Apple used the best infrastructure it could find in order to meet their goals. If the Chinese didn't have it they would have gone elsewhere.

Do we, then, also blame the US government for not building the infrastructure necessary to compete with China and keep millions of jobs in the US? Of course not. But you can't play it both ways. If the government is the source of our success and achievements then they also get to own our monumental failures. Examples of this abound: The destruction of the light aircraft industry due to regulations and litigation; the destruction of the automobile industry due to unions; the destruction of our financial well-being as a nation due to over-spending, unnecessary wars, government unions, ridiculous pensions, entitlement programs and, in general crappy partisan thinking on all sides.

As degenerate and incompetent as our government has become I fail to see how anyone can think that they can be or are the source of anyone's success unless you work for a union. Today I heard on the radio that sa government worker is retiring with a pay of $301,000 pension FOR LIFE. Yes, that guy owes his success to government as I can almost guarantee you that he did nothing to have earned or deserved that pay.
>gets a decent little story out of the tiny amount of time actually spent on narrative.

This is the real genius of half-life: it doesn't go down the awful Hideo Kojima route of 45 minute "LOL HERE'S THE STORY!" cutscenes, rather the story is simply there in the game, it happens around you. It is possible to pretend you're playing quake and blast through without taking any notice of it, and it's also possible to play it a bit more slowly, and upon consideration the story is actually quite deep.

I think it's pretty clear through Kickstarter's use of the term "perks" for the different reward levels project founders can create that you are donating money to the cause.

The fact that a lot of project creators have changed some backer's perception of the transaction doesn't change that Kickstarter is clearly a tool for raising funds through donations, not as a product pre-order transaction or investment into the company.

I think any sane person should be able to see the risks involved and consider them carefully before donating.

Maybe there are clueless folks out there who think Kickstarter is basically Amazon. But I think it's clear from the website that it's akin to demanding money back from your local school's fundraiser because you didn't like the gift basket they sent you.
Basically, it lets you run a function once a javascript file has been loaded.
> They simply moved this money to their U.S. bank acounts, where it remains to this day.

Do you really think that money sits in bank accounts? How do you think that banks pay interest on deposits and expenses?

There is still a physical RF layer (which is not software) and then you need antennas where you most likely end up in more patents.
Kickstarter is meant as a fundraising website, everything is a donation.

That's why the rewards are "perks" not guarantees. Project backers have twisted this around to turn it into preorders for products, but fundamentally Kickstarter is a way to bring in donations, with the perks functioning as nice thank you gifts.

Chrome's launching speed was amazing before SSDs made it so even Adobe couldn't completely fuck that up, and it's update mechanism is still great today. I'm ready for something new though.

These days the back button often seems to mean "redownload the whole page" which shits me just about every time I have to use it, and the address bar likes to just erase everything I've typed when I hit enter and then a few seconds later after it's done some stuff it'll put what I typed back.
One point you're trying to make is that having certain resources at your disposal (for example, previous knowledge gained by others), and then making something new with them, is still a significant accomplishment that one deserves credit for.

Another point that you're trying to make is that government doesn't tend to have all that much to do with having those prior resources. (OK, so the government organizes road-building - big deal.)

I agree with you, just not with the way you presented your position.

Its not spot on.

This debate is similar to debates about computer automation taking away jobs. The final result is, automation is inevitable. The biggest losers are those who resist it, the winners are those who learn before time and move to something else more productive. The same argument about unions, suppliers, OEM's etc can be applied to manufacturing industry. But delta improvements in robotics have been replacing humans and will continue to. There is little you can do against bit by bit delta automation happening every day. You can't protest against it, you can't stop it. But when look at it in a decades scale timeline you will see it is likely to be changing the whole scenario like never before.

Heck in our own industry IDE's have decreasing barrier to entry rapidly. The quality of skills required to write programs today is far lesser compared what it was two decades back.

You could argue every point in the world about why the doctors say in a judgement must be final. But that point is true if you prove doctors themselves don't make mistakes. Doctors make mistakes all the time. In fact ordinary down-the-lane doctors years into their practice aren't anymore helpful than what vinod describes them to be.

The point he is trying to is not that there would be a massive change tomorrow and doctors will be out of jobs. But automation in this area is inevitable. How many testing labs have lost blood sugar testing business to glucometers? That sort of innovation is inevitable. There is no point fighting it. Human beings will inevitably move to a higher levels in the productivity curve endlessly.

If the doctors don't want that to happen, they have to work to be better than machines. Not expect machines to be dumber than them.
The Yakuza are less violent because they are tolerated to a certain extent. They have an incentive not to anger the public because it means the cops will have to do something. It's bad for business and anyway who wants to go to jail?

The Mexican cartels aren't tolerated at all, in the US or in Mexico. When they get caught sentences are pretty much already maxed out, so they have nothing to lose by being as brutal as possible.
Chris, I mentioned another idea to you about 6 months ago.

The greatest value of Tiobe is the trending it captures over years, not the actual data point at a given moment in time. Except for spikes when they changed methodologies, the trends, especially for the most popular languages tend to be reliable. Who's in the top 50 or top 100 languages, I agree is not a useful or reliable data point.

Can it be that google does not want users to do bookmark or history search, but rather prefers us to do a google search instead for data mining and ad monetizing reasons? Or can it be due to an Apple patent?

To be fair, Apple's focus on usability and convenience could be linked to Qubes, in that they represent very different points on the "How much users should be thinking about security" spectrum.
Some people use benchmarks for various reasons other than simply measurement of personal growth or achievement. In especially those other cases, this needs to be considered seriously.

For example, I have a friend who keeps wanting advice on how to get better at things. One thing I've been telling her a lot recently is to stop making assumptions. She makes an astounding number of assumptions in everyday life, and it leads to poor decision-making.

Case in point, she asked me if there was anything she could do to recover a document when her word processor crashed, but she hadn't saved yet. Then she assumed that it was an impossible task and set about writing a brand new document. I stopped her and got her to think about her problem. She was able to figure out that autosave functions existed in modern word processors, and she was able to figure out how hers was configured. Bam, there's the autosaved document.

She was ecstatic. But then I reminded her to stop making assumptions, and she got really frustrated with me and asked, "Don't you ever make assumptions?"

If you're benchmarking your personal achievement against others for the sake of personal satisfaction and happiness, yes, you can have the results that you discussed above.

But if you're doing anything else with your benchmark, such as making excuses for why you can't or won't get things done, then OP's point about benchmarking is a very good one. There are many reasons why one might benchmark against others. And in some of those cases, OP has a very valid point where everyone should take heed.
The political argument isn't that you had "nothing" to do with your success. All businesses require help from many factors. You need luck. You need other people (um, like customers, your employees, the gov. for public infrastructure investment, your family, your friends).

It's just egregious to claim that you alone are 100% responsible for your success, like you don't interact in a world with 7+ billion. You're telling me your business doesn't rely any small subset of those people?

I don't doubt that you work hard, or don't deserve your success.
One thing to keep in mind is that Unit 4 was de-fueled at the time of the accident. The explosion was caused by hydrogen leaking over from Unit 3. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_Daiichi_nuclear_disas... and look for "Reactor 4").

Oh, please. Government didn't build these things so that a handful of guys cold invent the transistor. These are things that our society wants and requires. Businesses and entrepreneurs live within this reality.

Entrepreneurs headed West and literally created their own path as they went along. No infrastructure existed. Many years later the railroad became a necessity. The Interstate system didn't come into play until almos 200 years after the creation of this country and around 450 years after Columbus arrived.

You could very well argue that the exact opposite is true: Business has driven governments to push forward decisions and projects that benefit all. The Panama Canal could be one example of this.

If the gesture is intuitive and simple, it can be much more efficient than a button and reduce cognitive load by eliminating symbolic abstraction.

A great example is browsing in Safari. Scrolling, zooming, and going back/forward with gestures is far more efficient than explicitly pressing buttons to do the same actions.
