Titanium was transitioned to TideSDK in early 2012. At this point the code lacked support for any modern operating system other than Windows 7. Ubuntu and OSX support for any current versions of these OS's did not yet exist.

The challenges involved in moving forward with the code base from the previous maintainer were documented in this post:

http://www.tidesdk.org/blog/2012/11/16/1-dot-3-1-beta-releas...

The work has been steady and ongoing. The software itself is complex and substantial progress has been made. More that 1 million line changes of code were made to end of Dec, 2012.

This kind of investment and involvement in this project has been huge for us. It is certainly deeper than the rebranding and documentation effort that we also undertook as part of the project.

TideSDK became an affiliate project of Software in the Public Interest (SPI) in October, 2012. As part of this non-profit organization, we stand together with other significant and substantial open source projects (including Postgres, Drupal, Debian, Jenkins, ArchLinux) that are under the non-profit administration of the SPI.

Tens of thousands of developers now discovering TideSDK as a result of our efforts. This number is steadily increasing. Ongoing upgrades and fundamental code changes in the sources are leading to an amazing solution.

Commercial developments involving TideSDK are also underway for many. Obviously, despite the surge in mobile use, desktop development is comparatively smaller. That said, there remains an important need to address for the desktop that TideSDK is filling.

We've put plenty of effort into establishing community around TideSDK as well and to make resources available to developers:

I think you read too much into it. Everyone calls that area of the world "Eastern Europe".

And yes, you do hear "Northeastern US", "Southern US", "West Coast", "The Midwest"... people refer to large areas of land using compass points.

I like the idea, but it's far more spread out than the previous design, and it's a bit much for me. I wish there was a google-like 'cosy' setting allowing me to compress things back a bit.

Very true as autisim which aspergers is part of spectrum wise are classified as learning disabilities and with that mean that the capacity to empathise is there, just not as quick at learning those aspects. A psycopath on the other hand can clearly see those connections and empathise, its just that they don't care too and do not see why they should.
Think of it as comparing somebody with a broken leg who finds it hard to walk in contrast to somebody who has fully working legs but sees no point in walking.
> "I don't see how that is portable, unless "portable" doesn't mean you can put it into a pocket anymore."

Portable gaming has never had pocketability as a core requirement. The original Game Boy was way too big for pockets, as is the PSP, and to a lesser extent the Nintendo DS. The closest we really got was the Game Boy Pocket.

Portable gaming has always been about devices that you can whip out during a plane ride, bus ride, train ride, or in a waiting room without it being unwieldy and awkward - this seems to fit that bill. The 5-10h battery life also helps considerably.
Your claim is true but it is an oversimplification. There is at least a factor of ten over representation, since 1-2% of the total population are psychopaths.

I would have liked it the jQuery API documentation would be closer to the PHP.net documentation. For instance, I want to know the options for $.post - going to http://api.jquery.com/post/ would sure be nice (and even if it didn't exist, it could do a search for "you might have meant...")

For people unfamiliar with PHP.net's configuration, going to php.net/<function or whatever name> will go to the function if its known or search if it isn't (like http://php.net/strapos)

>i dont think this would work for syndicated ads, because theres no way for the ad company to verify that the ad was actually displayed, or that the X impressions the webmaster claims is actually true.

You're thinking about this the wrong way around. Google provides web hosting services, right? So now they can offer the feature that if you use their hosting services and use HTTPS, you can have the ads get served from the same place as the content. And if ISPs are blocking the ads that the person buying the hosting service wants their customers to see, that becomes a huge feature. Meanwhile because it's in their cloud, the ad provider / hosting provider can do any verification they need to.
What I mean is, "cabal install" is usually a bad idea, with or without sudo.

However, you can do "cabal install cabal-dev" and rely on cabal-dev for the rest. It means you don't have a global package cache, but in this case it's really for the best. Don't forget to add .cabal/bin to your $PATH if you want access to cabal-dev.

Down for me in the US as well
I have been asked to explain French postmodernism more than twice, and read Lacan aloud and in French in front of wannabe Chinese psychoanalysts, understanding this is out of reach even for native speakers. I mean, each sentence has 5+ possible interpretation, and floats like a cloud of smoke. What you read in English can only be one interpretation among many.

Artaud, however, is very straightforward, a kid would understand: it is mostly naked scatologic poetry.

There's some hope for 4.2 but needless to say there's no point targeting that market yet. None of the devices currently on the market have acceptable audio latency. And Android still has no MIDI support.

Android has its strengths but it can't hold a candle to iOS for these kinds of applications.

Agreed. Though I was just pointing out the existence of the Mac way, which could be much more inefficient performance-wise due to the double hit of Rosetta and VMware Fusion.
Very neat, but like most Mario clones, it does not properly emulate the jumping dynamics of the original. When jumping, the length of time that you hold down the jump button should control the height of the jump. Should sort of be as if, instead of jumping, Mario has a jetpack which is almost out of fuel, but is refilled when he lands.
I'm in favor of self-defense -- but buying a can of pepper spray and keeping it in your purse, pocket, glove box, whatever and never training with it is not likely to be a significant benefit in event of an attack. More likely, it will harm you more than it helps.

a) If you've never sprayed it before, how do you know how far it goes, the spray pattern, how much pressure it takes to depress the button, how long it lasts?

b) pepper spray is indiscriminate - it will get on you, and if you're not ready for that, it's very possible that you will find yourself completely helpless, eyes burning, coughing, gasping for breath - all while being attacked.

This is why law enforcement and the military, before they leave "basic training", are exposed to a wide variety of agents they expect to meet in the field, including pepper spray (I went through pepper spray training. Very eye opening {or closing!} to say the least).

If you are carrying pepper spray, you owe it to yourself to get proper training that includes being sprayed with it in the face and how to still defend yourself while under the effects. Otherwise, it's just a potentially deadly talisman.

At this point, the Republican party probably should reexamine its relationship with Big Media. It isn't very well supported at the rank-and-file level (not that the Speaker seems to care about them), and they tend to support the Democrats more. Derek Khanna's memo was pretty sane. There have been "Reps. / Senators from Disney" of both parties, but it would be a good thing for the Republicans to get out of that mold.

What makes you think I have one? I don't know, maybe throwing a nuke on India? That would effectively kill all the rapists.

I really don't subscribe to the ideology of "we have to do something, no matter if it even does harm". I think that is one of the worst things humans do on a regular basis. Actionism - is that a word in English?

I don't think eating chocolate helps against cancer, but that doesn't imply that I know what helps against cancer.

I simply don't know enough about India to know where to even start. I suppose improved women's rights, reliable police and stuff like that would help. Perhaps even a media campaign telling people it is not OK to rape will do some good.

Yep, same here. I'm currently sitting in a University library in Germany, working on some projects for my clients. I have an apartment in Texas, but haven't hardly seen it in three months.

I'm so, so thankful for the experiences in travel that this lifestyle has afforded over the last three years. I also think that in some ways, being constantly on the move has made me a better worker, but it's time for a change. I start a full-time sit-down-in-an-office position in February, which I chose to do for exactly the reasons that the article outlines. I echo the parent comment - it's a cool lifestyle that you should try if you can, but it's not for me any longer.

If you're asking for scientifically proven statements: I don't know, I doubt anyone does.

If you're asking for opinions: after having been a regular (sometimes extreme) coffee drinker for more than 20 years (until about 3 months ago), I'd say no. Whatever disputed positive effects it might have (mildly stimulating, supposedly preventing depression, for me personally it seemed to prevent distraction mostly, but so does suitable music... ), we know for sure that it screws up your sleep and, in many cases, digestive system. I sleep better and am more productive now (I think) than before and on top of that I also got rid of an annoying routine (making coffee N times/day) and a resource I depended on (and might miss during zombie apocalypse, for example). But for people who smoke for example, it's probably negligible either way.

Piggy-backing on your response:

The J2EE hate is a cheap shot. It's just a stack of tools/APIs. Which part of it do you hate?

The Servlet API is just Java's version of Rack. It's actually mostly pretty nice. It definitely have it's faults, but it's also much more robust than Rack.

Is it ejbeans?

Is it JMX?

I mean, what is the hate exactly? People might be rightfully annoyed if you just said "I hate Rails" when you actually meant "I hate Devise".

Anyone running JRuby Rails apps are using a portion of J2EE and they may not even know it. It's what allows you to flop between Mizuno, Trinidad or Torquebox and not have to care.

>Do any of you really whip out your smart phone, load a QR Code reading app, and scan the QR code

Yup, for me it's swipe-up-left to scan a QR code as an alternative to swipe-right to unlock. I've timed it, it's 7 seconds from phone in pocket to loading the URL. It's at least 20 for typing out a simple URL.

I find them very useful as a way to do deep-linking in print media. For instance, I was in a store, best buy I think, and wanted to check the specs and reviews of an item. There was a QR code on the price label, so in just a couple seconds I was on the product page looking at the info I wanted. The alternative would have been to google for the product number and click a result, or go to the best-buy website and search it there.

Until I can touch a link in the real world and have it load on my phone, I'll keep using QR codes.
Our thank you on our landing page is not about identifying partners. It is an expression of our thanks for organizations that have helped us by donating software or services to allow us to continue developing TideSDK. Hope that helps to clarify this.

Yes, but that's most sites.

This leaves an attack vector against people doing first-time-ever connections (like fresh installs of new OSes that are grabbing their new security packages), but TACK pins can also be pre-loaded or shared between clients for those circumstances.

Their API has been incredibly easy to use and I feel like the quality of results is far better.

Which to me makes a lot more sense, at least right now, and until we put the whole world on fiber with very low latency. Then maybe the "cloud" game streaming will make more sense.
> read Lacan aloud and in French in front of wannabe Chinese psychoanalysts,

That sounds pretty damn unfortunate.

> Artaud, however

I haven't read Artaud directly, but I just wanted to mention that while D&G take the imagery of the BwO from Artaud, it's pretty much just those words: they fully develop in into its own concept (as well as the very-nearly-identical 'plane of immanence') over a few books, so it's much more Lacan (though Anti-Oedipus is a polemic against psychoanalysis, sooo) than scatologic poetry. Though they did digress into some of that silliness sometimes.
In a word, psychology, try reading some stuff from Ramit Sethi from IWillTeachYouToBeRich[1] and others who study human behavior and it gets clear pretty quick...

in an episode in Doug he goes into his friends and suggest they all go something X in a shy way, everybody goes "hm, I don't know, lets see.." and 2 minutes later a "popular guy" arrives and calls everyone to do the same thing smiling, enthusiastic and everyone accepts it, Pronto!

This sort of things are absolutely real independently if you think it's fair or not, the best you/your friend would want to do is start learning those things so you can learn to actually communicate your thoughts effectively, because that's what the other dude is managing to do(personally I think "communicative-intelligence", i.e. soft-skills, is just as important as "hard-intelligence", what you seemed to mention, having both means you're "the man")

Being soft-spoken has nothing to do with it, I think there's a lot of aggressive/confident/effective communicators who are.. but being non confrontational when you know you're right is a really bad trait, no shareholder or business owner will ever trust a guy who won't speak his mind for not wanting to confront...
