Personally, it's a bit unnerving to see a new version instead of another update so soon imho... an upgrade is nicer than having yet another version of VS installed... the VS installer installs so many bits and pieces, it's nearly impossible to get rid of all of the last version to upgrade to the new one.

I'd rather see a 2012.3 version... I'd also like to see a LOT more stability, as well as a non-building project (for external systems) that still has a pre/post-build event, but no compile step from inside VS... (mainly for projects that use other runtimes/build systems but make sense to include in a VS solution.
I think this is shortsighted. The lack of negative rating is an issue. Even though social networks do not allow for them they should at least try to infer them as a 'hidden' or 'latent' variable (from the lack of sufficient amounts of up-votes after a large amount of views).

I'm pretty sure that G+ doesn't try to infer downvotes because of the large amount of sensationalism, alternative medicine, celebrity gossip in the "What's Hot" circle present in your feed by default. These type of posts would not rise very far on Reddit.

Also, downvotes are important when it comes to computing trust metrics in recommendation engines or buyer/seller rating frameworks especially if you want to be able to use transitive trust metrics (A trusts B and B trusts C therefore A can trust C). Negative trust ratings are useful in avoiding bad products or bad actors. The availability of these ratings would be quite valuable in helping with online transactions and give confidence to users the first time they buy from a new source.

Without the two data points, it is more difficult to determine the parameters of multinomial/dirichlet distributions used in, for example, subjective logic which can be used to build networks of trust. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subjective_logic

Did you include the cost of having a trained medical professional administer them? The cost of hospital aspirin isn't the pill it is the doc deciding to give them to you and the nurse who dispenses the pills( don't forget the billing person who charged you for the pills, the staff lawyer who was retained just in case you sue over the aspirin, and the payout to the last guy who sued and won).

As with every service industry from the local pizza joint on up COGS(Cost Of Goods Sold) is one of the smallest parts of the pricing puzzle.

History is evidence-based, but hardly a science, since it's uncontrollable and unrepeatable.

The article itself is kind of worthless, since it is based on vague speculations

What "vague speculations"? That doesn't sound like the article I read.
The article does make a convincing argument as to the reasons why the bomb was highlighted as the main reason for the surrender of Japan, very interesting. I suppose fear of invasion from S.U wasn't nearly as serious as the loss of diplomatic ties. In which case an eventual two front war would have done them in. Also, as much as the Japanese high command didn't react to the city bombings, I doubt they ignored them as much as the article comes to say. Loss of production power is absolutely a strategic concern. On the other hand, the cultural preference of Army over Navy in Japan in a war that was largely Naval may mean that other ludicrous claims about the way they strategized and conducted war may have merit. Interesting read!
there are so many negative signals from Pincus that its hard to count. in particular, you missed the place where he screwed the employees before the IPO as well.
Did they finally add local history? NO.

Did they finally fix the projects to not reference EVERY SINGLE (&(&*(( FILE to prevent daily conflicts? NO.

FAIL.
Does Pinterest own the word "pin"?
I can't edit my text, but the original title read "The Bomb Didn't Beat Japan; Stalin Did". I appreciate the editors correcting the title to match the tone of the article itself, but my own reply will make more sense when you know the title that was in play when I responded.
Yes, I realised this a while after answering. A pity muons are so expensive to generate, since at method is theoretically and effectively beautiful.

Hope is the last thing you lose, but it's pretty clear this particular case of "cold fusion" is (as the debunking article linked above) shenanigans.

In fact, Zynga's stock was halted multiple times a little over a year ago when Facebook IPO'd.

Also, the halt for Jobs death was after hours so it had a smaller impact.
Is the cost of staff included in the cost of the meds, or elsewhere? Are they double-billing for staff costs?
But people often forget to make something people want and instead make something they think people want.

Therein lies the incredibly actionable advice of the 4 word statement. In fact, a lot of my technologically and ideally awesome projects falter at the step where I need to find out what type of people would want this, how they'd want it wrapped up and how the hell will I reach them.

"If you start a company unaware that you need to make something someone will want, you have no business doing so."

Well, yes. That being said, as with many cliches, this one's a cliche for a reason. You'd be surprised how many entrepreneurs set out to make a cool product first, and a solution second. It's surprisingly easy to build a product -- even a beautiful, elegant, simple one -- that just doesn't solve or do anything useful for anyone in particular. It's very easy to mistake elegance, qua elegance, for utility. Elegance doesn't necessarily imply utility, but many fall into that trap.

The mantra "Make something people want" is better expressed as "Make something useful." Or, perhaps, "Make something that solves a need." Don't build a hammer and then go looking for nails.

The rest of your post ("Furthermore..." onward), I completely agree with.
Personally I've wanted a project type without a "compile" in VS for a while... mainly for other environments that serve as a client/service for the VS stuff... I often use a "website" project and uncheck it from "build" but that's not quite what is needed.

Mainly, as an example, I want to be able to have my NodeJS webservice project in the same solution as my MVC website project, and the C# dll client project. The NodeJS solution doesn't need all the assembly folders, or a .Net compile... but it does need the configured prebuild step, that's it. People say to use a "Website" project, but that brings my entire node_modules tree into source control. It's a pain.
On the ground. I believe the concern is over falling glass picking up speed on the way down.

I've been dabbling with docker quite a bit. I'm finding it solid despite the disclaimer against production use.
Doesnt look like this supports displays larger then a couple inches. I would love to get a largish e-ink display so I could code outside (slow refresh rate is fine, just needs to support a terminal).

Anyhow, is a step in the right direction to have small hackable eink displays.
It's not circular logic. Zizek is operating from the assumption that capitalism is oppressive, and arguing that "socially responsible" capitalism is equally as problematic. This criticism is aimed at leftists who dislike capitalism, but feel like it's okay to engage in "socially responsible" capitalism. It's completely legitimate to disagree with that assumption, just keep in mind that is not the point he's trying to argue in this video.

He's also an unapologetic Marxist, so I suppose that'd be his alternative. You might start looking for answers to your questions in his books.
I would disagree. We have to remember that the size of the web has changed by an order of magnitude since Google first launched. Doing a good job of web search has become proportionally as difficult. Furthermore, we all interact with search engines far more than we used to, and I think we have a tendency not to notice the searches we do that are immediate and effective and focus on those that are imperfect.

I work full time in SEO, and so I don't say any of this lightly. I have a lot of problems with the way Google sometimes does things, and I see a lot of imperfect results. However, it certainly isn't fair to say they "used to be effective in the old days" with the implication they aren't effective any more. They absolutely are effective, and are certainly more effective than the competition.
I want VS to let me write code. I want to find and manipulate text. I want it to compile fast and produce relevant warnings. I want a debugger. I want it to host duiverse plugins. That's mostly it.

That's all I want Visual Studio for, too. Fortunately those things will continue to work and we can continue to ignore things like TFS and mstest.
Given that the indiegogo is to put an ad in the Post or Times, i feel like what the Times is reporting on is indeed relevant.

Perhaps i am alone in that regard.
When talking about press, I was talking in general. But yes, on recent events, few press focused on police brutality, and some focused on protester's vandalism. I still believe all mass media is business so I am not shocked with their behavior.

May Day issue. To me it holds water. You are dismissing the fact I told you. I put my money on this, once the re-construction is finished (if ever) I bet they will allow it. Mark this thread to remember.

Yes, I dislike the way Government's handling of press. They should never interfere. However, journalists are not being fired by PM. They are fired by their bosses. No matter what, blame and shame is on them. Also, my personal opinion, the fired journalists were mediocre at best. Perhaps they just screwed up and got fired afterwards. They could easily find places in anti-government press. Where are them now?

Sorry that you got personally effected from the Turkish Academy of Sciences issue. But from what I see Academy is very much alive and doing okay. Probably we will not reach to an agreement on this issue. I am not a believer of so called autonomous science academies. For fundamental science, I prefer actual research. And Universities are the places for that.

Also ouch!. Do you base your ideas on a single stupid project on a science fair for high schools? You are a man of Science, I would expect better.

Pardus was meant to replace MS dependency in government desktop and servers. It was funded by Tubitak. There were many full time paid developers. Initial developers were very strong - top notch. Some of them I know personally. But they left the project one by one. It was long ago. Call it miss management, or lack of vision of higher hierarchy, apparently they could not deliver afterwards. After the change of administration, group is dissolved and they went to plan-B. My point of view, Pardus was gone long before. It was not an ideological issue but a management problem. People may disagree with me, or shed light on the issues I do not know, but that is how I see this. I cannot comment on the satellite crew fired because it is hard to follow the correct information. If they were fired without a good reason, why didn't then fight using lawyers and Union? I do not know.

I do believe there is excessive nepotism and communitarianism in governmental institutions today (They may see it as their right, a form of 'revenge'. I call it bullsh*t). Of course It was there before opposing governments, even when republic was founded. There is no way of getting rid of it. Perhaps libertarians are right on this, you can only beat it by making government as small as possible.
Okay I am carried away and wrote too much when I could do actually useful things instead.

Right, imagine a hypothetical employee whose job it was to make tobacco more addictive. "But the company doesn't have a bad chemical reputation..."

EDIT: Downvoters, do you really not think that a person's personal ethics can be judged from the work they choose to do?
If the same ideas of OOP have been around longer than the term itself (and I do believe you are right in pointing this out), do they cease to be the same ideas? This to me is degrading into a "tomato, tomato" discussion.

Reminds me of arguments I used to get into with a friend. My friend was really into naming patterns and stuff. I really disliked that, and thought to give it a technobabble-ish name distances the practice from the concept itself, which is usually more straightforward than the name suggests. I don't think your comment is the first thing I've read that steers me in the direction of "OOP as a buzzwordy name for preexisting, good, clean practices".
This is nonsensical. What exactly did Zynga do that was so bad? They are still making hundreds of millions of dollars per quarter. That's something most companies will never do. It's not like they committed fraud or anything illegal.

As well, regardless of what you think of Zynga's games or their business strategy, the engineers have really great skills in dealing with some very great technology and high-load situations. They will be extremely marketable.

To paint every single employee with the same paintbrush just because their business isn't something you particularly enjoy is dumb.
Gaining Credibility as a First Time Founder
Not just the front page - now gone below to 500s, probably into the 800s and beyond.
Dockerfiles are not a replacement for chef or puppet scripts. They're a very lightweight way to assemble a container by running unix commands, and then freezing that container into an immutable, portable unit of deployment. Some of thos unix commands may be calls to Chef.

If you're a chef user, you can use docker to "just-in-time" compile your chef recipes into a container almost as portable as a static binary. You can then send that container to me, and I'll be able to run it regardless of what configuration management I like to use on my machine.
If someone is able to accomplish what they want using the new build script functionality, why would they want to incur the learning curve, overhead, and complexity of Chef? Don't get me wrong — Chef is a powerful tool and has its place. But for many use cases, it's totally overkill. I think Docker's new build scripts may fit the bill nicely for a sizeable number of folks without needing to figure out how to integrate with an external configuration management system.

Edit: As shykes mentions, the two are really more complementary than overlapping. I'm planning to use Docker's new build scripts to construct pre-built Docker images, which I will subsequently deploy via Ansible (a configuration management tool akin to Chef). Up until today I was building Docker images via Ansible, but now I can handle that within Docker itself, freeing up Ansible to handle tasks better suited to its bailiwick.

The First Thing iOS7 Needs to Steal from Android
There Collector C4 is a soft-realtime they can not provide realtime but if they can be quite sure that they have very samll pauses. I truly belive in that vision. The problem is that the all the parts of they system have to be updated.

At the moment they can run on x86_64 but its not as fast as it could be. The have a special build for every linux distribution.

I am not sure how good this all works if you have very few cores and not a lot of threads. All in all however the C4 defently shows the way of the future. Hardware developer should learn from Azul, the OS guys should work more on supporting managed runtimes and the programming language community should do so to. Managed Memory is the future exept in very, very special cases.
It's like saying "that person is a machine." They are able to sustain a high level of work output. Think of an ox tirelessly tilling a field.

"This technology really changes everything"

No. It's neat, but why do people insist on ridiculous hyperbole?
To my knowledge, limited though it be, actual entrepreneurship is neither as cushy as you imply that I implied, nor as ultra-depressing as you imply directly.

Your average failed start-up entrepreneur probably doesn't even get an acqui-hire, but he certainly doesn't wind up "broke, penniless and destitute" either. Solving this kind of problem is in fact the entire point of joint-stock companies as we know them: the founder comes on-board as a majority shareholder, a capital-adding founder, and with a salary paid by the company (once it has any money at all, but why are you founding a company if you have no personal runway?). His personal survival becomes separate from the company's survival, through that wondrous mechanism of investment.

But of course, if what we're really talking about is 1-3 cofounders and a small but growing group of investors beginning a joint-stock company in a fashion explicitly designed not to personally endanger anyone, then there's no reason you couldn't run the whole thing as a Mondragon-style cooperative in the first place, with some charter modifications to allow for issuing equity.

Now, you could say we need to give the founders an outsized reward for their outsized risk, but after multiple rounds of investment diluting their share ownership, VCs and accelerators and other investors taking spots on the Board of Directors and then further dilution of the founders' individual ownership and control of the firm by the time it reaches any kind of Liquidity Event...

Well, it ends up looking less like we're giving outsized rewards to the founders specifically, and more like we're giving outsized rewards to an investor class within a large collective enterprise that could, if the founders were clever and lucky, contain the founders as a large or dominant component.

But of course, there's also a dozen ways for the founders to wind up basically proletarians in their own company.

So while I do think the cooperative model could do more to honor founding entrepreneurs, I can't say it does distinctly worse than our current model of investor-driven enterprise, ie: capitalism.
I think it's just bad advice. Yes, jobs 'suck'. That's why they pay you. If it were awesomely fun, you'd probably do it without getting paid. Making something is great, but let's be honest here, most college graduates aren't going to change the world. You might make a piece of software and sell a moderate amount to make a decent amount of money, but your chances of becoming a multi-millionaire is less than 0.3%. So, taking a job gives you the financial stability that you'll enjoy when you have a wife and chidren and health problems. If you are young and have none of those things, go for it - build a product, make a startup. I think the best advice to give a college student is: Invest in your company's 401k if they offer one, put in at a minimum the maximum amount that will be matched, and live frugally. It would also help, if you are getting a BS in software, that you invest your 401k in software companies, since that's your field of expertise, and you want to remain employed, don't you?

The UI would have to be optimized to fit on one screen as much as possible. For example, the Kindle interface has paged interfaces more than scrolling interfaces. My biggest problem with it is trying to turn multiple pages. It takes too long, because it waits to refresh the display before you can load the next page. That probably has to do with the calculation of where each page begins and ends. I think that is calculated on-the-fly.
Let me add another 2 warning signs:

- The "untracked" WFH days suddenly come under scrutiny.
Defense Analyst James Dunnigan, in his highly influential book How to Make War, argued that late in the war, the blockade and mining of Japanese Shipping had by far the largest effect on the Japanese ability to wage war. Given enough time, the Japanese military machine would just have bled to death. However, it may have been political rough going to continue the war in Japan long past the defeat of Nazi Germany. By other accounts, the Japanese were pretty much ready to surrender without the bomb anyway.
I've been "selling my time" for 27 years, and if I had it to do over, I'd do it again. Probably for different employers, probably with some sort of career strategy, but I'd definitely do it again.

Why? because to succeed, an entrepreneur needs to be more than a great software developer (or whatever other product you want to create and sell). An entrepreneur needs a number of business skills, like crafting policies, schmoozing vendors, wooing customers... Those aren't my strong suits.

I am perfectly content to let someone else handle all the business stuff, and pay me an agreeable salary to handle the software end of things. That gives me the freedom to shine at design, development, user-education, and self-improvement. If someone who doesn't know me wants to dismiss that as "selling my time," well, that's his problem, not mine.
