The design of Skitch was in many ways pretty bad. It's much better now. However they seem to have removed 90% of the functionality, much of what probably made people (at least me) use Skitch in the first place.

I remember how Phil Libin, CEO of Evernote, raved in a Stanford eCorner speech about how proud he was to have acquired Skitch and how the Skitch founders saw Evernote as the perfect partner to scale their product without interfering. Don't think they're as happy now. Great speech though: http://ecorner.stanford.edu/author/phil_libin

Brightbox vs Amazon EC2: Phoronix Ubuntu 12.04 Benchmarks
Thanks. Well that certainly makes it look like a VB issue rather than Apple, doesn't have an impact for me but I can imagine there's some very stressed developers this morning.
As mentioned on the Kickstarter campaign page: """Given the success of Krauss's The Physics of Star Trek (Harper, 1996), – which only touched on the issues, not the possibilities – I am confident that such a companion book would be well received."""
This is like that question on Stack Overflow asking what the a: drive was for.

One thing I (fondly?) remember from when I started out doing IT Support for 1-2-3 for DOS at Lotus - memory managers. Messing about with EMM386 etc to be able to fit things into memory. That and other general messing about with config.sys and autoexec.bat.

GREAT DAYS! (not)
Nice building. However -- I've watched renderings like these come out for years, as well as the final results (in person). Thing is, glass, and especially tinted or "specially treated" glass meant for display purposes, are very very hard to render beforehand. Actually, it's very difficult to tell how the glass actually looks until it starts coming out of the factory to be hung up.

My fear with tinted glass is that it often appears darker than intended. A lot of the tinted glass in NYC, although colorful enough up-close, becomes dulled a mile or more away.

But we'll have to see how this one turns out. Each glass curtain wall is different. Unique, like a snowflakes (if that's even true).
Maybe the Yelp reviews are better where you are, but around me (Nottingham, UK), I'm reasonably sure that half the businesses listed near me don't even exist - I'm pretty confident that I would have noticed the restaurant that it claims is being run three doors down from me in an entirely residential street for example.
I converted from Windows to Ubuntu bout 4 years ago and haven't looked back. The Unity UI in my mind is just as visually appealing to a consumer as OSX's (which might be a slightly controversial opinion!)

In terms of IDE, I think it really depends on what you are using it for. I've been using Cloud9, a web-based IDE, quite extensively recently for Javascript work but you still have your standard Eclipse and NetBeans, which are both fairly extensible. You might also consider taking a jump into Vim.

The great thing about Ubuntu is the ability to create a USB Live Distro. Road test it before committing if you are worried. But I don't think you'll be looking back :)
Can you prove your statement or give a link to an article on this subject?
movies.io founder here, I definitely said that in that podcast, but changed my mind since.

Going legit is too much trouble. The world of licensing is way too complex and antiquated - and we would've been forced to adopt DRM, which is a step back, in my opinion: http://amos.me/blog/2012/vision/

So, in short, movies.io's not going away, and yes we're keeping torrents.
Presumably, the operators accessing it are using other compromised servers as proxies to connect to the C&C servers. Their initial connection from HQ is probably to an overseas VPN that has been setup by an IC shell company (shell being a front, not computer shell).
Go's VM consume less resources, so we gets more RAM. Fore back-end processing, it's a supercool trade off.
It's seems like there's been a lot of posts about Go lately. Maybe I'm delusional..

I find Go to be nice to work with. I'm just starting out in it so I'm not exactly proficient yet, but it feels a lot easier to program with against say, Java.

In regards to the GC. I saw a post a little while ago made by Rob Pike, I think (could be wrong) about how there are many improvements coming where they see 50% speed ups (sometimes even more). So, as young language I think Go has come pretty far and more is to come.
This was brought on by an unforeseen natural evolution of antivirus software.

1. The software becomes sentient, learns to define, recognize and delete viruses on it's own.

2. The software realizes that by every definition it is itself a virus and must delete itself. :)
You can choose to pay with cash.
You can choose to not surf with cookies or use Facebook.

You can choose not to buy, with cash or not, trackable devices like cameras, phones, video games

But people do not choose these things en mass

The issue lies in how we regulate - I believe any form of tracking or surveillance on or offline should be required to produce raw near real time feeds. There is no reasonable way we can regulate without knowing what is being collected - and becoming outraged by it's collection.

Either these should be restricted by identifiable people or published if unidentifiable.

These days, I'd imagine Nokia would have something to say about Microsoft sharing mapping technology with Apple.
I've used Ubuntu extensively. I don't mind using Unity but you can't get around the fact that on a standard 15.x inch laptop screen that it looks really nasty, nothing is compact, everything is bulky, the borders are thick and the default fonts are very large. It doesn't feel nice to work with a UI that is an eyesore and clunky and so big to the point where things just don't fit on the screen.

I need to use Eclipse, this is what I use for my Java work, the platform I am working on has been painstakingly configured to work nicely with Eclipse and I won't be considering a change of IDE. I already use VIM for my C and Python work.

Eclipse and a more compact interface are my two overriding requirements in a Linux distribution. Without these things I can't consider moving away from OSX.

Any suggestions?
Less information? I can now understand people's projects far quicker, and read information about them far quicker.

As both a designer, and a programer, neither side of me has complaints. It's much cleaner and very much a step in the right direction.

Just because you're not fumbling to say what a beautiful new change it is, I am betting without realising it will make your life easier.

People don't like change.

Check out the new Tribes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribes:_Ascend
I think that the main problem is always going to be the end users. I'd like to say that fingerprints or iris scans would solve the issue, but they have their own problems (e.g. having a backup password in case prints or scans aren't recognised).

I agree that it really should be the user's attitude that needs to change, but there will always be that one person even if the other 99% of people get things right - so I think that at least trying to build a system to compensate for this is just as worthwhile as educating users.

I quite like the idea from XKCD [http://xkcd.com/936/] of using words instead of letters (but also have a few problems with it), perhaps rather than having passwords, we should have pass sentences that also have requirements (8 words of more, at least 2 punctuation marks, for example) or are generated for the user (could be nonsense sentences or contain misspelt words).
Hi,

I am glad you liked my idea, but I am actually quite busy right now working on a different one. Not one of this list. :-) But if that does not work out, I'll get in touch. In a meanwhile, if there is somebody else you can interest in it, I would be happy to share the rest of the notes directly.
I also enjoyed:

'I'm working at a small startup. Our business model is "Taking free drinks from industry events and reselling them." Oh, hey, I should get going.'
I can't see it. Does he actually explain what the $56K will be used for? Are the publishing costs so high? With a book appearing at the $100 level, that implies a >$100 retail price -- is this a huge coffee table book, a textbook, or is he just overconfident in sales ability?
This is I think the crux of the problem. Most of us live in the large intersection of legal and ethical.

Some exist, like Greenpeace perhaps, in the ethical if not always legal. i suggest the British System sits there too.

But we argue here not over what is legal but what is ethical. Many things are agreed upon worldwide as unethical, rape murder etc. But a whole raft of other issues are ethical preferences - selling mortgages to high risk payers with two year low rates. It's legal. It may be ethical. Do you agree?

Btw I used legal there as the usual, large intersection meaning, as I think most of us do in daily lives
Could someone clarify something here?

If I'm based outside of the US and my servers are outside of the US, these software patents would not affect me and I could implement them without risk?

I understand the site could be blocked from US browsing but that would seem extreme, especially if I registered a country TLD like .co.uk.

In plain English, I don't these patents apply to my country (UK) and are not enforceable here. But I could be wrong.
It is too sad, they choose the name of my favourite game to name a language. Now it is near impossible to make google searches about game of go.
I recall hearing about Don Syme (F#'s creator) talking with the guys working on garbage collection in .NET and when they saw his allocation numbers, they pretty much said that "this much allocation means there's a bug in the program". Different languages with different paradigms and idioms call for different collection strategy; being extremely into the imperative camp, Go programmers tend to hammer away at data structures rather than copy then like is more common in Java (and even more common in functional languages). So I guess that a less polished GC will do an okay job for Go longer than it would for Java.
Could somebody take this further and build up a studio that seeds those kind of movies?

I mean, look at Primer (posted here, thanks!): a budget of 7000$ and a 424000$ revenue. Even if they had a margin of 10% on that, 42000$ is still a great payback.

I was reading on HN of a guy proposing budgets of 25k per movie. That means 4 movies with 100 k. Is somebody doing this? Why nothing like this comes up or more mainstream?

Thoughts?

I wish that the articles submitted about Go were recent, rather than several months old. Go may be stable, but the culture and community are still changing rapidly.

I'd also like to point out that the article contains virtually no information about Go, instead relying on speculation and some hacked up quotes from people who've used it (and one from Rob Pike).

I agree with everything you're saying, except for the fact that you've got the assumption in there that the purpose of a survey is to genuinely understand people's opinions on a subject rather than to claim support for your own position or even to influence the views of the people you are surveying.

This may be a semantics thing, but surveys are extremely effective - just not as a tool for understanding opinions.
In my experience of being part of the acquiree, you can get acquired for a gross earnings multiple of between 30 and 40. So as long you're only spending 2.5m per year to get your 5 mil run rate then yep, find the right acquirer and you can get that 100m valuation but there's a lot luck involved.

But ... This feels like the behavioural economist trick - getting people to behave morally or not in dividing up a pot of money. It turns out that people have comfort zones, areas of expertise where they are good at applying their skills and moral compasses. So in the economists trick, taking people out of the lab and making moral decisions at work they become more comfortable and less liable to change their minds

I suspect that if you asked a Palestinian aid worker just back from gaza their views and then bait and switched them, you might find they spot the move ! I also suspect the same person could be tricked over the morality of sugar tarrif duty in the US and Iowas farmers.
To avoid that obvious namespace collision, the Go language is usually referred to as "Golang".
Working out itself isn't fun for me. The trick is to make that time meaningful in another way. I listen to interesting radio shows/podcasts while I'm at the gym. I enjoy it immensely and this is the only time I allow myself to do it. That means when I leave the gym, I turn off the stream. This leaves me excited to pick up where I left off next time and thus, excited to go to the gym.

This of course requires some self discipline. I could easily just listen if I wanted to. But I've been doing this so long now that it's just part of my routine.

People really can make this work. I've been doing it for 3 years now and I've lost 120 lbs in the process.

The primary workflow promoted by github seems to be to fork (using github's sense of the word) and use pull requests to contribute.

I agree, I'm definitely not disputing that.

With the removal of the blue from the commit timelines, the profile of someone who forks and commits to a bunch of popular projects (eg. Rails, jQuery, MiniTest) now looks the same the profile of someone who just forks a bunch of projects; you need to dig around a bit to tell the difference.

(I've been seeing an increasing trend of people who fork popular projects and don't do anything with them; I don't know if it's trying to fake activity on GitHub to look better when going for a job or what. Examples: https://github.com/chardy https://github.com/yanovitchsky https://github.com/VasyOk )

Seriously, push your templates, models, and controllers into static client code (html/js) and use any of the dead-simple Sinatra-like clones to quickly scaffold your REST resources. Go is a superb "plumbing" language, in my opinion.
First of all; Go is compiled to binary form, it doesn't run on a VM (yet?).

Second of all; the words you're looking for are "get" and "For", not "gets" and "Fore". Sorry to be a grammar nazi, but I'm just calling it as I see it, and this isn't Reddit or 4chan (yet?).

For others wanting to know more about Go's garbage collection, it used a conservative GC up until recently, but heaps of work has been done to make the GC precise, so we don't get leaks on 32-bit platforms. As far as I know this GC change has yet to be released (current release is 1.0.2, and the changes should be in the next release).

That said, if you clone tip and build from there (it's remarkably stable) you should be able to see the differences.

Of cause it could be also the case, that survey participants just do not care that much about the responses they give, i.e. they are not very interested in arguing about their answers but instead want to get out of the survey situation.

Anecdotal but from what I recall, the freemium model was an import from Korean MMOs which then got cross pollinated to other systems.

As I remember it Western MMOs/games focused on the subscription model, aside from WoW were suffering but were aware of the Free 2 play model in Asia.

That got imported over and soon after it was shown to be viable, the idea propogated through the system

So the original model is pretty old, and that is also the first place I heard about a freemium model before it began being heard in non-gaming enterprises.
It's certainly easier to make an extra couple thousand by asking for a raise than by scrimping on lattes, but I'd argue that a frugal mindset is every bit as important. Unfortunately, spending every cent of $200,000 a year is exactly as easy as spending every cent of $50,000. There are plenty of people whose approach to financial management is to simply... spend their money. Doesn't matter whether that's a little bit of money or lots of money. If they make 50,000 a year, they spend 50,000. If they make 200,000, they spend 200,000. If they come into an inheritance, they spend the inheritance till it's gone.

I'm a student who's never had a full-time job in her life, and I have more money in savings than many well-paid professionals I know, simply because I actually put money into savings.
Absolutely. That's why we're still firing union workers and working child laborers thirteen hours a day. Once enough money was involved, things just couldn't change and therefore patents never will either. Not in the real world.
Well, you are conflating a couple of things there, VT100 and TCP/IP. VT100s were designed to use LAT (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Area_Transport) which is very different, e.g. rather than each keypress being a packet roundtrip to the server, it was line-oriented.
To be fair, this will change as go becomes more popular and mature, I don't even know why people keep bringing it up.

Is "C" any more searchable? If C was 3 years old, search results would probably be dominated by pages on the letter "C". I remember search results when C# first came out: most search engines presumed you were talking about musical notes. Java searches kept showing me pages about coffee suppliers and distributors.

None of these languages have this problem anymore because they are mature, and the context around them is firmly established.

The accepted name for the language when doing searches is "golang", and Google does a great job at optimising results around this term. Also there's the IRC channel and Google group if you can't find what you need.

I don't like that Go has builtin generic collections, but doesn't allow programmers to build their own. It feels more like some corporate/"4GL" programming language than a hacker's/"real" programmer's one. Maybe lack of generics is not so important, but it shows designer's attitude towards language users.

The great thing about Go as a web language is that alot of the bones are already there - templates and HTTP handling are already waiting for you in the standard library.

The most popular web frameworks i've seen for Go so far are Web.go (a Web.py clone) and Revel (a Play clone). Frameworks will develop organically over time. The only reason they're not very strong at this stage is because as I said; most of the batteries you need for web development are already included in the standard library.
