I use a Alcatel USB 3G adaptor for connectivity on my MacBook Air. If there had been an option to add a built-in data solution, I would have upgraded in a heartbeat if it was sim-unlocked.

One nice thing: in Thailand, I pay ~$25/month for a 5Gb data cap and unlimited wifi in most public places from my carrier, on a pre-paid sim.
When I "simplify" a bunch of stuff into a nice pretty "thing", I'll catch all exceptions (Throwable) and then re-throw if. Depending on the thing, I'll stick an enum in my exception. Usually, I only care about "should I retry?" or "give up"

Personally, I think exceptions were a mistake for errors. I prefer how you do error codes via ocaml.

let val = func ... in
match val with
Result(v) -> do nice thing
| Error(500) -> retry
| Error(503) -> retry
| Error(_) -> abort

This is ridiculous and misinformed Anti-EU propaganda. If you look at the CleanIT website, you can see that this is just a project by the "Law Enforcement or Counter terrorism departments" of some European Countries. The project explicitly states that it has a "Non-legislative approach" and is seen as a "Public-Private-Partnership".

The only connection to the EU is that it received an EU financing in 2011. Clearly the content of the document is really troubling, but what would you expect from a document exclusively edited by some governments anti-terror departments? This reads more like a wishlist than anything having a remote chance of political survival.

Anyway there will be enough time to start worrying and outrage if these ideas actually appear in a legislative proposal by the EU commission. Even then it would likely take another 3-4 years to become law. Keep in mind that the current EU commission is only in place until the next EU elecions in 2014. It is very unlikely that a huge legislative project would be initiated before that.

You could say that about every service in rural areas.

If you tried to go all the way with your argument, only a few urban centres would be left with decent infrastructure. And of course infrastructure needed to support those (parasitic) centres (what with food and the like).

A rather gloomy picture of society, if you asked me.

iOS apps are sandboxed. Maps app used to be fairly integrated with the native OS when it comes to opening an address in a webpage or email. If Google is to submit a independent app, some of those features will probably be loss unless Apple makes an exception for Google.

A New Issue For Bitcoin: Crypto Key Disclosure
>> OSS is very good at innovation and infrastructure, but is very, very, VERY poor at user experience.

I agree with you here. As a designer, I have helped out FLOSS projects with UX design and usability. However, the environment is such that if you would suggest UX could be improved, the response often is that devs feel insulted because you are dissing their code (which is not the case, but they don't see that).

On the other hand, taking a look at WordPress, they invested quite some time in user testing and improving UX by professionals, and that makes it one of the most usable web publishing platforms out there.

So, it would be too easy to say all FLOSS is bad at UX, but most developers don't even see it as an actual discipline, and hence do not see a problem.

Nicer devs, that's the key :)

>I'd imagine the younger generations will gradually stop pursuing these degrees because of the terrible ROI in terms of debt to future income.

The problem with this is that most 17-18 year old don't have a sense of what ROI of their education will get them. Many of high-school graduates will be thinking "oh I like to read shakespeare so I'm going to major in English", and they probably have no idea how long the $100k will take to get paid off after their job.

I think if anything that will solve this problem once and for all is to make liberal arts minor degrees and only offer STEM as majors.

I'm interested in doing something similar myself. If the HN hivemind could help out, I have a few questions:

1 - How important is it to have some sort of public profile (eg, High ranking StackOverflow account, Github account, well trafficked blog) or public portfolio? I've done lots of good work as an employee but almost all of it is on internal corporate networks.

2 - Where do you find the all important first few customers? Should I be going to every local users group I can find and handing out business cards? Or hitting up sites like http://www.guru.com/ ? What worked for people?

3 - What size jobs are feasible? I would like to start this on a part time basis while still working my day job. Is it possible to find jobs small enough to keep me working 1 or 2 days a week?

Sure, but most proprietary systems have only basic interactivity, which you might consider to be a feature rather than a flaw. Some even disable interaction while driving. An average driver already can't control much more than the steering wheel and pedals at once.

That said, I'd be totally down with some passive applications for a console. Maybe a navigation plugin that helps find the cheapest gas without wasting extra miles to get there, or a roadtrip meal planner that helps direct you to restaurants you like at proper eating hours.

Hopefully no Facebook though, and definitely no GTA.

pip install pygame fails here today, the same way it failed me a year or so ago.

from [0]:

brew install sdl sdl_image sdl_mixer sdl_ttf smpeg portmidi
pip install hg+http://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame

which works, although installing from pygame's HEAD doe snot sound engaging. What's more, note the date and title.

Pyglet's master branch still uses Carbon, so you have to use a years-old experimental Cocoa branch, which won't be merged because it requires pyobjc[1]. This in turn requires pyobjc, which requires a little trickery to install:

export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.6 # else it'll fail at finding some libs, and stubbornly tries to stay in 32-bit land
easy_install pyobjc-core==2.3 # else pyobjc fails to build this by itself
easy_install pyobjc==2.3 # finally

In the case of Rakuten it currently looks like a total disaster, the global Rakuten site is only a tad bit less ugly than the japanese one and machine translated, rendering it more or less useless.

I'm sure Amazon.co.jp wouldn't fare well in Japan either if they were doing such a half-assed job as the english Rakuten site.

With a crontab email, you get notified every time it runs. Their value proposition is to notify you when it doesn't run.

Part of this value is that their service keeps running. That is, you could set-up their service yourself (a process which expects to be pinged periodically, and emails/SMSs you if it isn't), but what if that service itself fails? (who shall watch the watcher)

It's not perfect: your periodic task might ping them, but not work fully (e.g. backup script runs, but didn't actually backup). You need some kind of verification (test-code) for your tasks that must succeed before you ping them. This is something they could help customers with - using blogs, articles, case-studies, and especially example code for common tasks (e.g. backup) etc. This would really help people (and incidentally publicize their service). Also, I love this copy:

This is definitely already happening - I tangentially work on a number of projects embedding Android into transport, and it's really just a matter of time before manufacturers adopt Android as a matter of course.

For example, the top two manufacturers of in-flight entertainment systems are already transitioning to Android (Thales and Panasonic). There are a number of benefits using Android like this, least of all you can take advantage of the hardware expertise that already exists for building Android backed devices, and leverage the larger amount of software talent available.

Of course, there are problems. All these embedded systems have very long shelf lives, much longer than a typical handset. A IFE unit in a plane might be expected to last 15 years at least, a car is hopefully going to spend a decade or more on the road. The hardware is not going to be upgraded - don't expect updates to later Android versions.

This presents problems for third-party development, assuming manufacturers offer it. Ideally, you'd hope for a manufacturer supplied SDK that offered you easily consumable information and telemetrics (vehicle speed, fuel level, etc) and an open app store. Car companies may not see an advantage to offering it at this time.

So really, the challenge isn't to convince car manufacturers to use Android: most are almost certainly already considering it for their high-end models. Instead, it's to get a tech eco-system that's open.
That's very easy:

void migrate() {
try {
callSql(s1);
callSql(s2);
...
endTransaction();
}
catch(SQLException ex) {
logAndAbortTransaction(ex);
}
}

Now I have an exception to log, which means I have a stack trace which is going to tell me which statement failed rather having to play the guessing game. I may even get an explanatory message for free if the exception came with a message.

For me, having exceptions over return codes has a number of advantages:

* Within a single object, you get much more information (error message and stack trace). You need to return two different values if you need both a message and a return code

* You don't want to handle the exception at the call site? no problem, just propagate it up the stack. On the other hand, if you want to try the same thing with return codes, you need a way to differentiate the return codes due an error in your migrate() function and the error codes resulting from a given callSql statement.

* Which brings us to... another benefit: enforced compile-time checking of the exception. You can't write code that is going to check for a DogException when the callee throws a CatException. But it's very easy to check for -1 when the actual code is -2. Of course you can alleviate this somewhat using static constants, but it's still a safety issue.

Obviously, exceptions are not all roses either, whenever you need a new one, you need to create a class for it. But the workflow interruption is not greater by an order of magnitude than adding a static constant somewhere to represent your new error code.

Right, so maybe a moderated app market would be a good solution, with apps being placed in two categories, one category that works whether driving or parked, and the other would only work when the car is parked.

You probably want to do some A/B testing on your choice of quote. I think that's legitimate.

Flight entertainment systems are moving to Android, but a number of factors (primarily the A380 and 787s both being severely delayed) mean this roll-out is taking a lot longer than originally planned. Both Thales (http://www.thales-ifs.com/topseries.aspx) and Panasonic (http://www.zdnet.com/blog/gadgetreviews/panasonic-testing-an...) will be moving to Android IFE systems.

I'm confused. Why is this particularly related to Recruit? Those rules are observed in any recruiting event in Japan. E.g. students are often recruited at on-campus events, which as far as I know have nothing to do with Recruit. Neither has the weird custom of hand-written resumes.
A few reasons came to mind when I originally wrote it. I know that there are many tens of other reasons why it would make good sense to keep CL content CL-exclusive.

Of course, I realize that this must be tempered with the realization that there are situations where scraping CL and re-posting the information on another site may make sense for the original poster (e.g., a hotel ad).

Here are a few of the negative items that come to mind for just classified ads:

- When I complete a transaction and delete a CL ad, I do not want other interested parties calling, texting and e-mailing me hours, months or years afterwards

- I already dislike the 10-to-1-ish ratio of SPAM/scammer/nutjob banter to communications from legitimately interested parties. I suspect any proliferation of my postings beyond CL will only tend to increase this ratio.

- The text and images within my classified ads may be more easily accessible to scammers who just need some content to farm and post elsewhere (e.g., other classified forums, eBay, AirBnB, etc.)

- Sites which do the automated scraping of CL can directly be or can become a target and/or searchable repository for intelligence gathering and source for creating new or expanding existing personal identification databases

There are countless other scenarios ranging from good to bad regarding this subject. For now, I'm convinced that the potential for the bad, the incompetent, the annoying, the negligent, the criminal and other negative scenarios outweigh the good. This is really meant to apply to how I use CL. As I mentioned before, there are undoubtedly specific scenarios where many of the potentially negative items would be moot for specific CL users.

Obviously, there are other factors here too such as the commercial viability/legality/precedent of allowing non-CL entities to use CL resources with or without restriction to directly or indirectly profit. From my perspective as a user, it's not really that important other than an arguable matter of principle.
Oh and I suppose your comment adds a wealth of information? If you can't find any value in my comment, either ignore it or downvote it. Don't go around insulting people, you add absolutely no value to this discussion.

Steven was right, the point I was making a point that I've found contacting local agencies/houses to be most successful, probably due to the fact it's easy to meet face-to-face and go in to their offices when they really need the extra help.

Interesting. You shift the problem of all hours-worked not being made equal to one of all rules deciding how to value hours-worked not being made equal. I don't have a gut feel for how that might play out, but it does seem like it might be fraught.
Why would Google help Apple out? Lack of decent iOS maps doesn't disadvantage Google or Android in any way.
Browser vendors must start to move away from top-down innovation, where they hoard APIs such as TCP and UDP and release sub-standard specs in their stead. Instead they must expose only the bare minimum OS low-level APIs (TCP, UDP, POSIX), keeping the surface area as small and powerful and direct as possible, and then let open source grow around this. Innovation needs to be decentralized, bottom-up. Not designed by committee.

For that to happen, we need to stop conflating "web apps" (trusted, installed, annointed with machine power) with "web pages" (accessed by single link click). At present, Web Apps are suffering and crippled by being lumped under the same security policy as web pages. But Web Apps need to have access to raw machine resources in the same way that Native Apps have access.

Those that don't seem to care for any of this insistence, tend also to be naive as to the massive differences between TCP and WebSockets, and IP and TCP and the whole stack in general. The WebSocket spec is a good example of people doing things in the most indirect way possible, with a maximum of red tape, as opposed to people doing things in the most direct way possible, with a minimum of red tape.

The Web as we have it in these respects is very much Animal Farm and 1984. There appears to be little thought leadership from the major stakeholders in this regard. People like Tim Berners-Lee are asking for change (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2012JanMa...), but the new incumbents don't seem to want to see.
