APIs are neither fast nor slow. I guess your asking if their WebKit port is going to be fast? Probably not, WebKit on ARM is still not that fast. I don't know what JS engine they'll use, likely JavaScriptCore but that's not very fast on ARM either.
love the frenglish in this (and i say that as someone who lives abroad and has a shitty accent, not in mockery).

one thing not mentioned is that if you do a flood fill once the maze is generated, recording distances, you can choose start and end points to be maximally separated (assuming you have no other restrictions on start and end). which tends to help give an "interesting" puzzle.

i wasted a month of my phd generating mazes for the son of a collaborator, in fortran 66, on a microvax. good times :o) the idea was to save the collaborator from having to hand-draw the mazes his son was pestering him for. but the poor child burst into tears when given one of my computer-generated multi-million cell constructions :o(
You are correct. The something new, at this point, is going on disability and waiting it out until they get Social Security payments. Most 50-year-olds with a high school education will not be becoming coders. If we are lucky, their kids are already working office jobs or have enough education/knowledge to do so.

As a country and society we will of course find new things to do, hopefully even replacing our manufacturing loss with even better technologies and methods. However, we will always have a huge discontinuity produced by globalization and automation that abandoned a significant portion of the population without the skills or the hope to catch on to the new fields.

Far as I can tell, those clauses are specifically related to the Android trademark / Google Apps / etc. Creating a full fork (of the publicly available source) as allowed by the Apache license with different name and no direct relation to Android should be just as good as creating Tizen.

I guess the sticky point here is the closed-source early access releases that Samsung gets. Google must be threatening access to this if any OEM gets on their bad side. Fairly nasty move if so, and Tizen doesn't protect Samsung here. If Tizen takes off, you can expect Google to drop Samsung's access to early release builds in any event as Google will then try to force customers to use Moto/LG/HTC/etc devices.

So I don't think Tizen helps here at all, as Google can drop Samsung's early access rights for any reason they want. They can just as easily decide that Tizen is fragmenting Android.
For HN specifically, collapsible comments would make a huge difference. A top-level comment in position one can have dozens of comments under it, making the next comment (which is perhaps only 1 upvote lower) appear far, far down the page.

If you could collapse the top level comments, this problem would evaporate.
Probably is, but thought I'd mention it in case the cause isn't something that will have disappeared by the time this version becomes Aurora/standard release.

> because the wiki syntax is extremely convoluted and there is no formal spec

I ran into that when parsing out pages with Python for an app I am working on. Parsing it by conditions leads to a lot of conditions for edge cases, which as one might think happen more often as the more obscure the topic gets due to not being updated or improved to be more inline with the formatting of trafficked articles. If you are looking for something in particular, ranking elements on a page helps to a point if the elements you want are the ones that occur the most or near to it.

Aside from more obscure, less trafficked articles, I noticed many of the Non-English wiki articles are also formatted in awkward ways and appear far less updated to their English counterparts. I thought I had most edges cases covered until I started parsing out wiki markup for other languages.
I like TouchWiz so not sure what you're talking about.
It is right in the article that android apps run on Tizen.
Samsung's future is to always try to minimize dependencies and to maximize options. Replace "Samsung" with any company at any time and you have simple good corporate governance. This is not insightful, and there seems to be a new harvest of "the Balkanization of Android begins!" articles, despite there being absolutely nothing new in that respect for years.

For those not aware, Samsung has always pre-loaded their own app store, their own messaging, their own chatting, etc, to negligible results. Further Samsung has always "de-emphasised" Android, as like others they want to commoditize their compliments, and it makes no sense to talk up the features that most of their competitors have as well.

And for what it's worth, Android itself is the least dependency Samsung has on Google. The Play store, gmail, maps, Google Now, and so on -- these are all non-Android specific information services that most people can't go without, and most users would simply reject any device that doesn't have it.
In the comments they mention about 1/4 the energy density of a lithium ion battery, so yes they don't compete on that measure. But full charging can happen in a minute or two, and you could top up a charge in seconds. Perhaps public areas would have inductive chargers on the wall; you'd just walk over and hold your phone or tablet up to it for a few seconds. Airline tray tables could have an inductive charger built in.

Higher energy densities aren't without issues, as Boeing found out with their 787. A battery like that is basically an explosive and it can be tricky to manage.

You aren't aware of the proper way to write the name Perl, which strongly suggests you know very little about the language.

As such, i would like to ask you to hold off on commenting on it until you've actually acquired a measure of intimacy.

I can't imagine a worse android experience than what TouchWiz offers

How so? To be fair a lot of the features of TouchWiz ended up being borrowed and integrated directly into Android (just as there was borrowing from SenseUI). These competitive forces have helped Android evolve.
Something about your comment really struck me. In most sci-fi utopias, increasing automation was assumed to lead to cheaper marginal prices that gave everyone more leisure time. In reality the benefits from increasing automation (and globalization) have instead been naturally captured by those with the means (capital) to achieve them. Sounds a lot like we're either back on the road that Marx described where the few have all the capital or we're able to escape that fate by lowering the capital needed to gain those efficiencies (cloud computing, 3d printing)...

Please disregard the comments about Perl made by the person you replied to. He knows very little about it. Perl is still a very strong language that has not been overtaken by Python or Ruby in the job market: http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=perl%2C+python%2C+ruby%2C+...

If you do look into Perl, start on this site: http://perl-tutorial.org It will show you the most up-to-date learning resources for Perl.

About PHP, give this blog post a read: http://me.veekun.com/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-de... It makes the point that while you can develop and deploy very quickly with PHP, you will make trade-offs and will have to sacrifice consistency and predictability.

Lastly, as a general advice: Look at all the languages, figure out which ones are fun for you and learn those. I say those because you will need to learn more than one. :)
according to http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/briefing-book/background/numb..., the US has one of the lowest tax rates, while scandinavian countries are all towards the high end of the list

There is definitely an issue of how much money is distributed to welfare / infrastructure / education etc compared to military but the lower tax rate means there is less to spend to begin with (per capita at least)

I'm right there with you. I've been looking around to see more details on the process. Besides getting ahold of the materials, i think the most difficult part would be taking a graphene sheet and actually making it a supercapacitor. I think it requires layering it between some sort of electrolyte sheets right?
I found myself similarly vexed when I first tried to deploy a Django project. Turns out I was making the process far more complicated by trying to wrestle with mod_wsgi and Apache.

Yes, it's clear this is where Samsung's going. Neither Google nor Samsung mention Android much these days. BUT Samsung will have to lift its developer relations game 10x if they want people writing apps when it starts to come out. As for a compatibility layer, that's a lot easier to say than do, so native apps will still be critical.

Look at https://www.tizen.org/

Tizen 2.0 SDK is out? Where's 1.0? Tizen isn't out yet.

Why are you talking about SDKs on the hero banner anyway? What's Tizen? Why should I care?

Developer docs are out of the '90s: https://developer.tizen.org/documentation/dev-guide?redirect...

iFrames?

End of the day, developers will flock to where the users are. But a new platform needs to win developers to bring the users on, even with Samsung's distribution channels.

I really want to see some solid competition to Android. I can only hope all this is early beta stuff because they'll need to speak developers' language if they want people writing apps. As for the emphasis on HTML5, the hobbyist HTML5 niche is well-occupied by Firefox OS. And BB, Windows, and Ubuntu are also pushing HTML5.

I'll try to explain one last time. Docs is built from the ground up to support real-time collaborative editing, because that's how the Web works. I don't speak for anyone involved with Docs, but I wouldn't expect it to be rearchitected to support the use case you're asking for because it's a major change that introduces tremendous complexity such as: manual saves, document locking, whole document collisions, etc.

True. My brother had a the first Wave and I'll say that, in terms of built quality, it was one of the Samsung's best phone ever. It was built like a tank and had a unique look to it.
Bada in itself was not bad, if you could ignore the lack of apps. The OS blatantly copied the best of both iOS and android. A lot of people really did not care, at that time, whether it was Bada or android; they just bought it because it looked good.

It's cheap and easy to ridicule everything the EU does and completely ignore how successful it has been so far in uniting a group of extremely diverse countries to be competitive against powerhouses like the US, without completely selling out all cultural diversity and social protections.

Initiatives like this can clear the way for equalizing regulations that now hinder start-ups to operate across the EU, and remove barriers in certain countries, with direct input from existing start-ups.

How can this be a bad thing?

I remember a while back that Target had to back of a similar approach when it began sending out coupons to women that they suspected (w/ apparently a high degree of accuracy) were pregnant. The main anecdote was about a father who found out his daughter was pregnant because they started to receive the coupons. Target eventually backed off this approach (at least for newly pregnant women) because many of their customers complained that the marketing campaign was creepy.

>> Right. Governments print money all the time, but the total value of all the money remains constant, thanks to inflation. It's just a measure of how much power someone has in a society compared to everyone else.

Inflation, by it's definition, is caused because more money is chasing the same goods & services...which drives the prices up. That's why loose monetary policy (i.e. the Fed printing money) often comes with lots of "concerns about inflation".

Also...if money was indeed constant as you suggest, and it's just a power tool, then why have we seen 2 phenemona in the last 100 years.

1. The greatest number of people are moving out of absolute poverty, than at any other time in recorded history (hundreds of millions if not 1 Billion+ by now) - meaning, more people (as a % of the global population) are earning enough income to move themselves out of an abject poverty state, at a faster rate than at any other time in recent recorded history.

2. The greatest income gaps between the top 1% of the top 1% and the rest.

If the money supply were constant, both of those would be mutually exclusive. But they are not.

Anybody can create wealth, likewise anyone can destroy wealth. Money is just the physical/tradable manifestation of wealth. It's just a proxy. That's all. No conspiracy to see here.
I am an early adopter when it makes sense. Smartphones have never made sense to me as a replacement for my desktop machine. I only recently switched to a smartphone because my trusty Nokia finally died. It made phone calls very well, by the way, and worked OK for texting and keeping a calendar, which are the three things that I mostly use the "smartphone" for.

So, I recognize that I'm not like most here, but maybe that gives me "the Emperor has no clothes" view of all this. I have to say that I'm not at all impressed with Android or Google Play. First, the UI isn't all that great. The gestures are not all intuitive, and sometimes are the opposite. (For example, why does holding my finger still on a zoomed page mean "zoom back out" when there's another gesture that I understand that will do the same thing?)

Second, 4G isn't available a lot of places I go, and I live in one of the 20 biggest cities in the U.S. Surfing the web on a Samsung phone feels a lot like surfing the web using Windows 98 over a 56k phone line 15 years ago.

Third, more than half the time when I download apps from Google Play, the download fails and I have to retry. Along the same lines, Google wants to update shit I don't use and never will use (Gmail, Youtube, I don't know what all - 9 apps recently) - which brings me back to the slowness and unreliability of downloading generally. And I now have to dive into the details of how to unlock the thing so I can remove the apps I don't want and don't use, taking the risk of bricking the handset. I don't want to know this stuff. I have enough stuff I have to know.

Fourth or fifth or wherever I am, the app store is messy and the apps want permissions I can see no good reason to give them. (For instance, why would a calculator app need access to my f'ing phonebook?)

I welcome any and all competition to the way things are now. The smartphone world right now feels a lot like AOL in the late '90s. "Oh, no one's going to leave Google or iOS when they have all these cool apps they paid money for!" That's bull and the handset manufacturers and phone companies and OS / app store owners know it, which is why they made unlocking phones illegal.

As soon as someone figures out how to make it reliably easy to unlock phones and put another OS on it that still works with your phone company's system, the handset becomes a commodity. (Too bad the BSD folks aren't too interested. The entire phone network was built on UNIX (TM). Should be a relatively simple thing to make it work.) And as soon as someone makes an app store accessible to anyone regardless of phone OS, people will go there to get apps for their OS. The walled garden play has been tried before and inevitably fails in the end because people want control of their devices.

This is one of the communities that should be making it happen, but what I hear mostly is "Oh, it can't be done! You don't know how hard it is!" There are a lot of us waiting for someone to break the oligarchies that have sprung up to take control of this market. Please do it. You might even get rich in the process.
It's been about a year since I placed a FB ad but I was under the impression that whomever is placing the ad targets an audience not FB itself. If that is still correct then whoever was placing the "coming out" ad was acting more like an observant bartender mentioned in the article rather than an intelligent algorithm.
I go through this process while running. I highly recommend everyone to jog/run for about 30-40 minutes every day, alone, wit no music. It performs a "defrag" of your brain and relieves most of the stress and worries.
ok so here is the only real data I could find. At the end of the paper:

"The LSG-EC can exhibit energy densities of up to 1.36 mWh/cm3 , a value that is approximately two times higher than that of the AC-EC"

1.36 mWh/cm3 = 1.36 Wh/L

If we assume that 1 L of it weights very roughly 1kg.
We get 1.36 Wh/kg.

From wikipedia:

"The amount of energy stored per unit weight [in ultracapacitors] is generally lower than that of electrochemical batteries (3 to 5 W·h/kg, although 85 W·h/kg has been achieved in the lab[12] as of 2010 compared to 30 to 40 W·h/kg for a lead acid battery, 100 to 250 W·h/kg for a lithium-ion battery and about 0.1% of the volumetric energy density of gasoline."

This is still less than 1% of the energy density of lithium ion batteries.

I don't think they stopped it. Just adjusted it so the offers we're alongside random stuff (eg discounts on lawn mowers). That way people wouldn't freak out (presumably because they didn't know how much the company really knew about them)

Edit: Worth posting the whole quote (just found it).

“With the pregnancy products, though, we learned that some women react badly,” the executive said. “Then we started mixing in all these ads for things we knew pregnant women would never buy, so the baby ads looked random. We’d put an ad for a lawn mower next to diapers. We’d put a coupon for wineglasses next to infant clothes. That way, it looked like all the products were chosen by chance.

“And we found out that as long as a pregnant woman thinks she hasn’t been spied on, she’ll use the coupons. She just assumes that everyone else on her block got the same mailer for diapers and cribs. As long as we don’t spook her, it works.”

Making difficult "perfect" mazes is easy. Making fun or organic-seeming mazes is a more interesting problem. I experimented with maze generating algorithms with a view to creating more open mazes — to do this was to have some probability of abandoning a thread before running out of space, also I would measure how isolated each cell was and maximize cell isolation.

Hmm, not sure how this is any improvement over the product of the same name from Klip.me, which I've been using for the past year. What's more, that product is a browser extension allowing you to send any article from any website to your device. This one requires individual content websites to add a button for every piece of shareable content—seems like a totally backwards way to implement this compared to what already exists! Kind of surprised Amazon's playing catch up so uncreatively...
