I did mention SML, which is a compiled language commonly regarded as an excellent language for writing compilers. I don't believe your analogy of interpreted languages being like riding a plane is accurate. If you want to be "closer to the metal" or whatever, start with C, or assembly. But actually, computational theory is done with Turing machines, which no one uses directly in real life, and lambda calculus, which is far closer to scheme than Java. Which is more appropriate for learning the deepest basics of programming?

As for using a single language, I really don't know. I'm self-taught so far. I can't imagine a good CS degree to not use multiple languages to some degree. Can you do everything from process scheduling to web dev with one language, and do it well?

Further, I'm not sure an "enterprise-class" language is appropriate for learning. Mybe it's just all the OO ceremony that bugs me. I was watching a friend try to explain some C++ code to some ostensibly interested but inexperienced people. He kept having to say "you'll learn what this does later, it just has to be there..." to stuff like includes, int main, type declarations. That's no way to learn. Java is better, but not much. "What's a class?" they ask on their first day. A distraction, mostly.
I might be wrong but imo, this problem exists with prepaid connections only. Try a postpaid SIM in your phone and if it works, ponder switching to postpaid.

I had this problem on a Whited00r-installed iPhone 3G with airtel prepaid. Never noticed with iOS 5 or 6 on my iPhone 4S.
They're slowly locking down the ability to install what you want from the Internet. Sooner or later, it'll be App Store-only or jailbreak. The (not-quite-a-rumor) transition from x86 to ARM will only hasten this.

This is exactly the reason Google implemented fiber in the first place. Their intent is not to necessarily dominate the broadband networks, but simply to bring back competition to these oligopolies.

HTML and company aren't the basis of all future computing, but they or their non-Turing complete descendants absolutely will exist in 100 years. They don't exist for lack of imagination; they exist for timeless and fundamental reasons.

Do you think plain text will exist in 100 years? If so then it's not that much a stretch to say that HTML will. It astonishes me that people think that only code, and not data, will be transported over networks. That seems to be what you are claiming -- that it's preferable to transmit code than data in all circumstances?

The argument isn't symmetric because I fully believe that VMs are necessary for the web. I just don't agree with Kay that the designers of the web are idiots (he really says this) because they didn't start with a VM. VMs will come and go as hardware and devices and circumstances change. Data has much more longevity; it encodes fewer assumptions.

Assumptions that are no longer true are generally the reason a technology dies. It is pretty easy to imagine a VM (unknowingly or not) encoding preferences for keyboard and mouse input; that technology would have died with the advent of touch screens. Likewise, a VM that provides affordances for touch screens will likely be dated in 10 years when we're using some other paradigm.

HTTP and HTML are foundational to the web. They are basically the simplest thing that could possibly work. You can reimplement them in a few days using a high level language. They will be around for a LONG LONG time.

More complicated constructs like JS and VMs will have shorter lifetimes. I guarantee you that HTML will be around long after whatever comes after JavaScript, just like HTML will outlive Java Applets and Flash.

They layered architecture of the web is absolutely the right thing. Use the least powerful abstraction for the problem, which gives the client -- which necessarily has more knowledge -- more choices. You could distribute all text files as shell scripts, but there's no reason to, and a lot of reasons why you shouldn't.

You would think that Google could afford to hire some people to do bug triage. Users reporting bugs are trying to help Google (and themselves, admittedly). Presenting users with a "write-only" bug database is worse than no bug database.

Minus of course the 3 months of concerted efforts and years thereafter learning the intricacies of vim/emacs to make such edits automatic.

Vim and Emacs are both such strange editors- I'd be quite happy if some other open source editor replaced them both as the default editor (that made better decisions in terms of plugins and abstruse key sequences).
I approve of anything that saves spaces and not tabs.

I'm just not going to use it, and keep wondering why one diverts so much efforts to editors that aren't the One True Editor.

My statement was based on fact. We start quality developers at $80,000 and they can quickly move up to $100,000. If a developer starts at $40,000 and they demonstrate over two years (which is an eternity in tech) that they're talented and hard-working, I can guarantee they'll be bumped up to be in line with their colleagues. In tech, pay isn't based on years experience. It's based very simply on skill.

> AT&T is signaling ... it will... reduce your margins

Yeah, that's what I took as your original point. I just think "reduced margins" is a completely empty threat to Google.

Say I sell widgets. Now, you sell widgets too, but your primary revenue stream is driven by "widget penetration," ie, the total number of widgets owned and used.

We have a price war. Who wins?

You do, because people having widgets is valuable to you, so you just give away widgets at cost. No, wait, you go farther. You split the increased revenue from your primary stream with your widget customers, you give people widgets UNDER COST.

And I'm sitting here, giving my widgets away for nothing, thinking, "He's going to rue the day he price warred with me. I have deeper pockets, so I can lose money longer."

But you're not losing money, you're increasing your revenues every day. My pockets can be 100 times deeper than yours, and I will still head, puzzled, straight to bankruptcy.

I mean, capital intensive, yeah, that'd matter for someone who didn't have cash to burn, but not Google.

Maybe this was where you were heading: No one can really join Google in this effort. Google cannot inspire a transformation then step back and let it happen. It now has to see it through, because the economics are unique to it, they don't apply to Joe Schmoe's neighborhood ISP. That might be true.
Telemetry is just in the process of getting going. The capabilities you talk about are coming within the next couple weeks to Telemetry (I'm one of the two lone programmers behind Telemetry).

Treehouse is my fourth company. I sold two and one failed. I have no interest in "setting up for an acquisition". Treehouse is the most meaningful thing I've ever done and probably will ever do. I'm fortunate to live comfortable and to be doing something that I passionately believe in. Why would I engineer the company for a sale?

Happy to battle it out with commenters on facts but your conjectures about my motivations for structuring Treehouse are silly unless you bother to ask me first.
Dell isn't dead. They took a hit in recent years, but so did pretty much all PC suppliers. The market is just not growing at the same rate it used to, at least in the US.

There's nothing wrong with getting into a logistics competition. You just have to win.

Personally, I do not buy any clothes at all from "luxury" stores like Nordstrom's. I buy some clothes online, and basic clothes like socks from Target. I just don't enjoy feeling like a rat in a maze, which I inevitably do at clothing stores. And I don't want salespeople bothering me. The value of all this stuff is pennies in China, so I feel like we are really getting overcharged in many cases.

I really dislike the new design. The old site was brown and mellow; like you were sitting in the dim theater with Ebert after the movie, discussing it deeply over a cigarette or the remains of your popcorn. New site is bright, whitewashed, and ephemeral; like the convos in the lobby afterward where you're trying to say the movie sucked without offending anyone else's opinion, and after 2 minutes you give up to go back to your car. Old one was unique and wonderful; new one looks like every other stupid blog. Any Ebert fans agree?

At least in many European companies, particularly in matters of employment or offering services, improper reasons are illegal. For instance, you cannot deny service to someone on basis of race, skin colour, religion, etc. If you cannot prove you have any proper reason, a racist reason can be assumed and you're facing trouble.

Well a bit tricky to answer generically... everyone is different, lots of conditionals and unknowns to give a truly good answer.

The good news is that it sounds like your parents are not stupid and neither are you. That being said while you may have lots of good energy and exuberance towards your startup, it will (extremely likely) fail. To be a realist first attempts at startups are usually the first step in a long learning curve (although there are very rare exceptions). So instead of thinking about this specific company you should rather think of it as embarking on the path of being an entrepreneur - most people who take this path fail a lot, have a handful of wins, embrace volatility, and never grace the pages to Techcrunch. In short it is the high risk/reward path - almost like playing basketball with hopes of making the NBA (although typically with better outcomes for those who never make the big leagues).

The college path, assuming you are smart about it, dont take out crippling debt, and major in something half way useful, has benefits as well. Its typically an interesting experience intellectually, socially, and culturally. Despite what you may hear education is still very strongly correlated to earnings so in that regard it can typically open up opportunities to good paying jobs. It is also can allow for future educational opportunities (MBA, MS, etc) as well as more seamless industry changes if the bottom falls out of tech. In that regard it is the lower risk option that can give a jump start to ones career if done correctly.

The good thing is that neither option precludes the other. Start a startup, then go to college... Go to college, start a startup while your there... etc. Either option sounds interesting - my personal vote would be college in that Im more risk averse and it has been well studied that education correlates with entrepreneurial success.

Ah, that sucks. I've used GoogleTV for this (with a web page, but no real attention to style; usually just a few numbers and lines, graphed), and while google eventually opened up googletv to developers (late enough that the platform seems to have died first), I guess Apple still hasn't. It is still a great box for a conference room projector (with AirPlay).

What is the best way to get nice, easy to configure status boards for cheap 42-65" LCD tvs then? Is there a web alternative which makes boards like this easy to configure? Dedicating an iPad for every TV is more expensive and just a huge management hassle.
Yes, to be fair, Gillette still manufactures and sells older versions. They even make & sell double edged razor blades.

But they definitely push for whatever is the newest (and usually more expensive) option.
Wow, that is a pretty condescending reply based on an uncharitable misreading of my comment.

The point was not "Nobody will ever beat Google search no matter how much time passes." It was that Google being killed outright by a better search engine is extremely unlikely for the foreseeable future, so to call their long-term plans into question on that basis is specious.

Also, Google has not really unseated Microsoft. Microsoft's flagship products — Windows and Office — are still utterly dominant. Most of Google's battles with Microsoft have been from MS trying to encroach on Google's turf and losing. (I mean, yes, MSN Search existed before, but it was just a white-label AltaVista when Google entered the field.)

At any rate, Microsoft has been assailed on every possible front and is weakened but still massive. If you want a model of Google's future from '90s history, I'd say that's the worst case that's likely in the medium-long-term. AltaVista was a big search engine when the Web was small, but it was never Google.

It's interesting how many people are coming out and saying this. It's like they want to be that little company that wants to make >75% of their revenue from one single company.

The point I'm trying to make is that for us developers iOS is one of the most important computing platforms. All else being equal we would benefit from it being more open. The more consumers you can reach with your products, the better.

Now if you want to do mobile apps you have to take huge bet when addressing 50% of the market. I think we should be working on fixing that situation sooner than later.

I see your perspective, but I disagree that vi speed is mostly theoretical.

1. you have to check if you're in insert mode or not.

You should always be in normal mode unless you're actively inserting, so this shouldn't be something you really have to think about.

2. you have to know you want to go down 5 lines....

Since your example assumes that line numbers are visible, you could just type vnG, where n is the line number you're trying to put the cursor before. No subtraction needed. Depending of the shape of the text, there are probably other intuitive approaches as well.

Does the "tao" of vi take time to internalize? Sure. But once you've done that, you can be blazing fast.
