Looks like "awesomepanda" is a broken them. It complains about missing 'svn_prompt_info' after every command.

Also, sagan@galaxy for the user@host is cute too.

Are risto and bira broken or do they mean to display the branch name like '<master)>' instead of '<master>'? It looks especially odd since in both themes the ')>' is a different color than the '<master'.
You might want to watch this talk about using Erlang in production: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0eBDWigORY

Go and Erlang have some differences, and I found particularly interesting that pretty much all the issues they have with Erlang don't apply to Go often because of how Go avoided what might seem superficially like a 'feature' in favor of "raw" simplicity.

That said, Erlang probably would be my second choice after Go if I had to build a highly concurrent distributed system, just realize that things are not as rosy as they seem.

BTW, to address your other comments: all the remaining 32bit GC issues should be solved in the upcoming Go 1.1 release (still you will always be much better off using the 64bit port), and the ARM port is in pretty good shape.
I think they might be suffering heavy load; I don't think waiting an hour is an acceptable delay for web dev - it would make for a very slow iteration loop!

5 Things That Can Be Outsourced on Your Blog
The irony here is that you didn't bother to check what the fake_ bit means. It's like fakesteve, the images aren't faked, the account is not an official iOS6 account.
Not sure what the hell they were expecting to happen. You don't take an existing, working, mature, and proven solution and then replace it en masse with something unproven and untested.

This particular bit of sour grapes over Google is going to bite them in the arse.
There are plenty of jobs. There are plenty of applicants.

Sometimes good applicants get a shit job or no job, and sometimes bad applicants get a good job. A large percentage of the time, someone is being underpaid. Sometimes, but more rarely, people are overpaid.

These are vast inefficiencies in the system that need to be rectified. The problem isn't job search, it's placement - the kind recruiters do.

Job search is a misnomer, because you'll never have complete information. Good companies will post woefully inaccurate job descriptions out of inexperience or naivete and bad companies will sometimes out and out lie. In addition, you have to consider job priorities (on both sides) and cultural fit.

So the real issue is actually about getting more perfect information. In order to do that, you have to eliminate the incentive to deceive and also provide tools for getting better information from companies that don't currently know how to get it.

Finally, at least in the US, you need to fix the culture a bit. The percentage of online job postings that do not list a salary is a joke. Anyone worth their salt (who is actually casually browsing job postings) isn't even going to consider those listings - the potential that they are a waste of time is vast, and there are plenty of other open positions out there.

Maybe the best solution is to develop a format for job listings that is standardized, similar to the MLS system, and create a playing field where there is incentive to collaborate between recruiters and also a method of looking a historical job listings from companies (and actually seeing good data). It's a tall order, but if you localized it to NYC (and it actually produced results) you could see yourself counting a lot of cash.
Yes. Congress is made up mostly of lawyers, who get rich off such nonsense.

Since the passing of Steve Jobs there has understandably been a lot of speculation about what will happen to Apple given Steve's laser-like focus on user experience above almost all else. Some self-proclaimed "power users" did of course rail against the Apple ecosystem but like most things Apple does (did?) it was right most of the time for most users.

I've been an avid iPhone user since the iPhone 4 and have bought every iPad so far. iOS 6 may mark a turning point to me such that the 4S that I have now may well be my last iPhone. My phone for me is probably beyond anything else a way of getting places (ie maps). Even more than phone calls, SMS or the Internet.

I sympathize with the position that Apple wants to control the entire experience but I really am dumbfounded that they've sacrificed user experience to do it. So much so that I don't think I want to update to iOS 6.

When compared to Android, the one remaining pillar for the iPhone for me is battery life. The 4S simply trumps any Android I've used or witnessed to date. I typically have to charge my phone only every 2-3 days. The Droid I have (which admittedly was a terrible phone) is lucky to last a day. The Galaxy S3 is better but still...

I look forward to the next Android phone running out-of-the-box 4.1 (or whatever the latest release is at that point).
A few minutes includes cross-browser testing? I have the feeling that this would take minimum 30-50 minutes. 7$ for that sounds decent, plus re-usable.
You can't make an omelette ... It'll be interesting to see the pace of development of this vs Google's inevitable maps app.

The mapping must be updated OTA so won't require IOS refreshes to improve the quality. But for now this app is like the stereotypical bimbo, quite pretty to look at but also pretty useless.
Sometimes nicer is worse. When using the website of a language I want to focus only on information-I am on a mission. Things need to be in the right places, typography should be spartan and correct. It is a usability problem, not about appeal per se. The people coding circles around you often wouldn't notice if the logo of their language was in Comic Sans.

TALK It’s An Interview, Not An Interrogation
"I've found that it's best to assume that things are the way they are for good reason"

Look at the $600 1099. That's been $600 for... a heck of a long time. The original target is no longer the same, and it's become a bigger burden on small businesses. keeping it as it is may have 'good reasons', but they're not the reasons (or at least stated reasons) it was initially set at that level.

I don't disagree with your point entirely, but I'm somewhat perplexed that this issue never comes up in election years. "Raising taxes" as a general term means nothing, and 'no new taxes'... well.. that can mean nothing, because we can fiddle with limits like these to modify revenue.

AFAIK there was no change in benefit values even though the rate went from 15% to 13% (approx). So we can drop revenue but need to keep benefits levels the same, but we can't raise revenue without leaving them the same? I'd prefer some degree of 'means' testing - not an entirely binary yes/no, but scale back benefits over a certain amount if your assets are above a certain level. Those whose assets drop/fall a lot, but have payed in higher amounts over the years would be allowed higher ss payouts to compensate for their new levels. this position may be too nuanced to take on a campaign trail though.
Variable DPI is only one factor, there are apparently many other problems with Linux on current MacBooks (and Apple is probably more to blame than Linux). For now, running Linux in a virtual machine seems to be the most convenient way on current MacBooks (MacBook Pro Retina, new MacBook Air).

I'd argue that C# didn't become an interesting and enjoyable language until it gained generics.

Generics certainly aren't essential to a language, but once you're used to them it does feel a touch chafing not to have them, as well as it feel a touch strange for them not to be included in a new, statically typed, language. My opinion naturally...

You know what else sucks on the iPhone? The notes app - That's why I use Evernote. And the tasks app - that's why I use Clear. And the mail app - that's why I use Gmail. And iBooks - which is why I use the Kindle app.

Point is, you can download an app that works better for you if you're not happy with Maps anymore, just like you could with all of the other built in Apple software. I think Apple really needed to control their own destiny with the Maps software, and most non-geeks are probably not going to notice that their Maps app is getting it's data from somewhere else now. They probably didn't realize it was coming from Google Maps in the first place.

A clear sky is still visible over most of the earth. Its just that people cluster in bright cities, so per-capita, yes most folks don't see one.

I see it every night when I drive in my driveway and get out and look up. Every constellation, the milky way spilled across most of the sky, blue-white Rigel at Orion's foot. A full Moon illuminating the countryside like a floodlight!

Its only a 10-minute drive from town, out there where me and a handful of other people live. I wonder sometimes, if our rural areas are doomed to become a ghost town.
This is an interesting comment because I usually think of "scale" as being able to handle high load. Angular itself is itself about 500K (unminified), but still only about twice as big as jQuery (roughly). Regardless, it makes sense that client heavy apps aren't appropriate for all sites.
The plugin seems nice. IMO, you should add all the names of the services compatible in your description (useful to the potential buyer, and for the SEO in Codecanyon) and you could add a screenshot of the plugin admin.

I recommend using Prezto[1][2] or not using a framework at all.

but we're talking about a few moments ago. it is a conversational thing - it doesn't make much sense to argue against what you've just been misquoted as saying a moment ago.

to justify the title, "how to confuse a moral compass" the methodology would have to remove the justification or public discourse aspect, and show that someone's internal or private belief actually changed due to the conversational obligation to defend what they are misquoted as saying. i.e. you would have to find out what they thought to themselves privately before and after.

maybe a way to do this would be to have an "outside friend" who is more trusted than any of the people involved in this fake context, and see if they would report a different opinion to this friend that they think has no connection or knowledge of the immediate social context, due to the misquotation in the immediate social context.

As it is,the methodolgy does not justify the conclusion. (as summarized for us, I didn't click through to the paper.)
We found comparing Xen to KVM on the same hardware showed similar results to this too (things doing lots of ram allocations, like redis, do very well with KVM).
This bothers me to no end. One of the major things beside the odd dimensions of the iPhone 5 screen, that prevent me from switching from Android.
However the screen is clearly a bigger let-down for most Android users who are used to larger screens.

Jobs would never have allowed such an atrocity to occur. The sub-par Gmail integration is another pain point.

>It is statically typed but has no Generics

But, as Go advocates will tell you any Generics related discussion in the golang list: "just try programming in Go for a while and you'll find you don't need Generics".

Why do they assume that people complaining haven't used the language "enough", is beyond me.

Plus it seems they believe that there is some amount of time of using a language, after which fundamental issues and well understood design issues disappear...

But, by that logic, why abandon C in the first place?

"Just use C long enough, and you'll find out you don't need garbage collection, built-in collections, closures and memory safety".

Or:

"Just use assembly long enough, and you'll find out you don't need all those fancy functions, and variables, and looping constructs, and stuff".

Apple can’t unilaterally decide to use Google Maps or not. You do not know the conditions Google set. My guess is that Apple was backed into a corner and Google wouldn’t give them vector maps or turn-by-turn navigation.

Building a good maps service is miles outside of Apple’s core competency, so this is all very sad – but at the same time no surprise at all.

(Mind you, all this at best explains the bad maps experience, it does not excuse it.)

Android's google maps have been better by features than iOS's google maps for a couple years now, since Google could update the Android app. Vector graphics since 2010, local integration (reviews, including zagat now), more advanced directions options, and so on.
That's an iOS design flaw, not Google's problem.
I was expecting there to be an option to upgrade to a paid account and be able to skip the queue, but it doesn't look like that's the case.
Need more screen shots to get a better look. But good effort and show of ambition.
Let me start by describing how the nervous system is structured in strata, with lower, "thalamic" nerve centres which are closer to the outside world, giving us sense impressions; and higher, "cortical" nerve centres which are further away from the outside world, and process the nerve currents coming from the lower nerve centres. It's a well known fact that it is the cortical nerve centres that are engaged when operating with languages (including scientific languages – physics, mathematics, etc.; and probably coding, too); however, because of this structuring of the nervous system, cortical products of abstraction are abstractions from the abstractions of the lower nerve centres – in other words, it is natural to begin with sense impressions (observations, facts, etc.) and proceed by producing generalisations, models, formulations, ideas. If, contrary to that, we assign primary importance to words and ideas, then, structurally, we are behaving similarly to people suffering from hallucinations, illusions and delusions, word salad, fanaticism, etc.

I hope not to be opposed by anyone if I suggest defining science as the investigation of empirical structures, with the purpose of formulating structurally-similar semantic representations using words and other symbols (laws, theories, generalizations, formulae, etc). We readily see how science is nothing else than the mature, appropriate behaviour of a healthy human nervous system. Fundamentally, scientists are preoccupied with sanity, really: day in, and day out, they spend their time co-ordinating ideas with facts. Their job, their contribution to society is adjustment to facts.

Now, if, for example, we would repeatedly find ourselves stumbling, we would turn to professional athletes for inspiration; it follows similarly that, for the sake of sanity and adjustment, the methods, conduct and results of scientists are of interest to us all.

The Wikipedia article doesn't really provide any clear, explicit, concise argument against the so-called "scientism". In my opinion, the article reflects the struggle of a curious group of people: people with an inflated sense of self-worth, fuelled by a gratuitous use of words ("logolatry" is the name for it, and it's always nice, btw, to discover that an ancestor summarised personal observations of mine with a single word!).

In any case, I trust that one can only retard the natural functioning of his, and others' nervous systems – never abolish it.
Got as far as Skrillex and it bombed. Refreshed the page and went through the same stack of pictures again. I think it would be more useful if 'random' pictures were actually random.

The advantage with Amazon is that if you get a reserved instance where you pay a bit upfront, your hourly price drops dramatically. I think you can get discounts upwards of 75% with reserved instances.
Google is already working on this; it's just not out yet. However, I don't understand why Apple has begun releasing unpolished software as of late. Siri, although more of a gimmick than anything, was not ready for prime time and now this maps program has been rushed to market. I can give them a pass for playing catch-up on hardware, but only if they stick to their roots when it comes to overall UX.

How to Deploy Walrus CMS to the Cloud
Linux supports about a dozen virtualization technologies, and modern distros, e.g. Ubuntu 12.04, makes it trivial. Here's what it takes to start a new Ubuntu based container (less isolated, but more than enough for a dev environment) on Ubuntu 12.04:

lxc-create -n [some name] -t ubuntu

Then:

lxc-start -n [some name]

to start it and get the console (or tack on "-d" to run it in the background)

Ubuntu by default starts dnsmasq to serve up local dns results for vm's, so you can ssh to them, and setting up a tunnel for external access is easy.

LXC also works fine on Debian, though the experience isn't quite as polished.

Otherwise, you can use KVM, Qemu, Virtualbox, Vmware, Xen, OpenVz and more. In all cases, you can use the same deployment tools: Build .deb's and set up a local APT repo (just a directory you run dpkg-scanpackages over), or use Sprinkle or use Chef or Puppet or half a dozen other tools. Use buy into Ubuntu's orchestration tools (in particular Juju,which supports direct deployment onto LXC locally, OpenStack or EC2 for now)

In other words, putting your environments on a Linux box doesn't remove the ability to have copies of the deployment environment or building, deploying or testing automatically - it adds a massive number of additional options for how to do it. In particular, it lets you do it in ways that translates directly to private or public Linux based cloud solutions.

> Jobs would never have allowed such an atrocity to occur

iPhone 5 is more likely to be blessed by Jobs than not.
I am not sure how long Apple product pipeline is, but I seriously doubt they had iPhone 4S ready for production, but not iPhone 5 in the advanced design stage.

On the other hand I don't give a damn about "odd" dimensions. There is nothing odd in them for me.
> How often are you not near a source of electricity at least once a day?

It's a major issue when traveling, which is when you want your fancy smartphone mapping features the most. If you want to be able to use it later in the day, you have to be careful not to use it too much earlier.

I've been pleasantly surprised with the Galaxy Nexus battery life though, which usually lasts me just about two days.
Super interesting. Not sure how this fits with Moo current core business or what their plans for flavors.me is ...

Flavors.me looks like a really well built and designed product but the barrier for entry in this space is practically nill.

Wonder how well they were converting paid users with their freemium model, even though it seems shockingly cheap ($20 a year)
Why didn't they just buy TomTom with their war chest instead of building in-house? It seems to me like they would be familiar with navigation software.

Ultimately I imagine that Apple will get Maps solid eventually, but not delivering a solid product initially will cost them.
Theoretically it is.

Practically it segfaults or hangs X (I tried on a notebook with optimus and a computer with sperate intel onboard and nvidia cards).

Give it some time, even nvidia announced to probably support optimus with the prime/dma-buf stuff in their proprietary driver.
i've not had a ton of experience with Go, just some coder challenge type stuff, but i love almost everything about the language. it has the feel of old skool C, but greatly improved and upgraded.

the one thing i hate about Go is how it does exported identifiers. in order to make a variable/method available to other packages, you must start the variable name with an uppercase letter. this is the only way to export identifiers which means the exporting is a bit obfuscated.

giving meaning to the first letter of a variable name is filled with potential problems:

1. people will inadvertently export properties simply because they chose to name them with uppercases
2. in some cases, you will need to force this case sensitive language to be case insensitive. ex: a json property named "address" needs to unmarshal into a Go variable named "Address"
3. i don't have this concern personally, but i wonder about coding in languages that don't have uppercases. (actually, it's prolly legit to force them to code in english i suppose)

i've read the Go engineers are extremely happy with this feature, so i guess i'm going to have to get used to it and the bevy of problems it creates if i'm going to continue using it.
