Nonetheless, everyday over 3000 people die in car accidents all over the world. Over 5000 people die everyday due to preventable water diseases. Over 3000 people commit suicide every day. One can also argue that these tragedies could be prevented. From this perspective, it's all but cold statistics...

when they meet at the global championship

It's 2009. The global championship is already on.

Time to start getting the newspaper delivered to the farm.
I'm sorry, but that's a horrible logo. It's like some kind of optical illusion. Trying to see the lowercase A in there reminds of one of those posters where you have to defocus your eyes to see a hidden picture. I only noticed it after it was pointed out and I still had to stare at it for a while.

I get the whole Hundred Year Language thing, but you don't need to start with a logo that looks like it's a hundred years old.

[edit]

I feel bad sounding like such a jerk about it, but I just don't have anything positive to say about that logo. It's difficult to even be constructive because it doesn't have a single redeeming quality. Even the color scheme is a poor choice because of the low contrast. I think this is one of those "back to the drawing board" moments.
I enjoyed your take on Star Trek, even though I loved it I am much more able to understand why my good friend Paul detested the film. I suppose I expected little, and some of the characters were likable (Chekov, Scottie, Kirk wasn't that bad). Give them some time, the original series only got cooking after we appreciated the characters. Films are far too short for proper character dev (especially of a large cast). I consider this film more of a new character introduction (the villain was flat, the story limited), but it served it's role as just that-> an intro.

It's not on yet. China is a closed eco-system, it has not really entered the playing field on the same level as the other countries.

You need to have been there to understand - china is very inwardly focused. When it decides to focus outwards, that's when the championship will start.

Things like building influence in Africa, setting up medical programs, developing hinterlands of their country - china is doing all this silently. America is out there and roaring and thumping its chest, but china is silently expanding. The global championship is on for the Americans - they are strutting about and flexing their muscles and lifting all the weight they can lift.

But there are other players that have not come in yet. They are waiting and training.
Yes, Hinduism is one of the most difficult of religions [ cultures, really] to pigeon-hole. The depths of yoga [Sanatan Dharma: Raja yoga] are nothing like the common conceptions of the multi-god-ed worship seen in travelogs. When you get beneath the surface and see the open-mindedness of the roots of Hinduism you may find it most understandable why great such minds in astronomy, physics, computing, etc. have been been birthed in Hindustan culture.

Maybe I'm paranoid but isn't he basically saying that the demos don't reflect what's possible today in a shipping device i.e. the proverbial "vapourware".

I will say that in general, flameouts due to ice ingestion and the complete fly-by-wire system of the Airbus have been generating interesting conversations in the aviation community for some time. Whether this has anything to do with the current situation is anybody's guess. I feel very sorry for all of those involved.

There's plenty of open-source ones, Witty (http://code.google.com/p/wittytwitter/) for example, its just that TweetDeck is continously marketed as "the popular client".
For an interesting counterpoint on 'fly-by-wire-is-bad' read the Vanity Fair article about the Airbus that landed in the Hudson and how the fly-by-wire augmented the pilot's own ability.

After twenty years studying yoga/Hinduism, that seems to me a strange proposition. Perhaps it comes from the fact that there is no "Hindu church" - no central authority.

Consider the fact that almost anyone who considers self "Hindu" considers reincarnation a natural way to look at human (and other) lives. Any "thinking Hindu" will be aware that it is only a temporary state (of any given lifetime) to be born in a Hindu culture, or Moslem culture, or secular culture. To me, that is a humbling thought: and counsels against the natural human tendency to be proud merely for having been born into a family of a particular culture or religion.
This is one of the main reasons that I'm not using Git at work, there hasn't been a super solid way to get the Github functionality on an internal network where it's 100% secure. This is a REALLY smart move for the guys at Github.
Is this real or just a "product vision" kind of video based on no concrete technology?

If they have actually solved the hard problems involved in making this technology work, it's extremely cool.

If they have not, it's somewhat akin to a video suggesting that they'll build technology to allow people to fly without any equipment, just by flapping their arms.

I agree with your last point: "stick with stuff you can migrate". But moving away from Google App Engine doesn't have to be a pain (depending on how much of the storage options you are using) and in the case of AppJet it's simply a matter of setting up "AppJet in a Jar": http://appjet.com/download.
Or writing a formal specification which would resolve the problems mentionned in the sibling comments.
I second this. Overfitting can be a problem even in human-written test scenario's. Usually overconfidence in your test suite is a cause.
There is just no benefit to this. Even with ksplice you still have to schedule a downtime for each update because any problems due to a bad patch (or, behold, ksplice bug) would cause an unplanned downtime otherwise.

And as grant-parent said, reboots for kernel-updates are a non-issue in larger deployments anyways. If a simple reboot gives you headache then please ask yourself what happens when (not if!) the hardware on that host fails?

# of customers is a horrible metric to determine the value of something. It's a holdover from the as the first metric a company could use in the bubble to get value when it's not making money and says nothing about how much that customer interacts with the company or how much value they derive from it. I might go to dmv.org every year vs. several times a day, but I am just one "customer" of both sites.
I, too, hate your saying this. I hope you're joking. Because bullet point summaries and trying to make the article seem non-intimidating rather contradict what the author is saying.

How To Become a More Aggressive Website Markete

Free will is doing (or at least imagining) what you want or feel is best. Your moods, whims, desires, and so forth can be controlled by inevitable subatomic physics, and those are synthesized by your thought processes to take a course of action. Since your brain wiring and chemical balance will be unique in a subtle way, that gives you a personality you can call your own. Imagine if everyone were required to change at least one line of code in their software before running it. The different computers would seem like they had all kinds of strange motives.
WebMynd is definitely targeted at the people who don't find the ads on the right particularly useful.

We think it is right that users should be able to opt-in to have more control over how their online tools appear and function. Provided there is attribution i.e. we're not taking a tool or content and claiming we created it.

Updating the Pre may actually be easier. The thing's a cell phone, so it's always connected. If they planned for it, they could have isolated the iPod facade code and made it easily updatable over the air.

Well actually the growth rate has been phenomenal when one considers the starting point. I first visited Xiamen in 1982 when it was designated a special economic zone and the changes since have been phenomenal. The rate at which workers moved from farming to industry dwarfs the comparable rate here in the US.

Your adjectives of ambitious and hard working are spot on. Having 1.2 billion people has always been both China's greatest strength and it's greatest weakness. They have been poor for so long that their thirst is now unquenchable.

China's growth is going to force serious changes in the US if we are to remain a competitive world player. Consider how many chinese schools teach english and how many american schools chinese.

However I would argue that in software, americans have an inventiveness, I call it yankee ingenuity (mickey mouse) that is unique and is part of our culture. This is something that takes years to develop.

So perhaps there's an edge we can keep but the key will be to engage and play. The chinese love doing business with americans because we are a good people. They have different notions of IP but we need to recognize that much of those are historical artifacts of western law, or as kids sharing music would say: "unsustainable business models"

Does a gradient apply to fly by wire systems?

You and others seem to imply that Boeing/other aircrafts can be less(?) fly-by-wire. How does that work? Shouldn't there always be redundant systems?
That people have to resort to such creative contortions is a testament to what a shit pile CSS is.
Your comment suggests that "free will" in a human mind is a result of small differences in the makeup/brain chemistry of the individual.

Its my understanding that the 'free will theorem" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_will_theorem is not that. It says "if we have a certain amount of "free will", then, subject to certain assumptions, so do some elementary particles."

It may well be that both your perspective _and_ the free will theorem are at play.
I don't think anybody doubts the benefits of fly-by-wire. It's the failure modes that concern some.

Not that this issue bears on this particular incident. I was just listing the topics of conversation that come up when talking about the airbus and turbines and T-storms.

If it's not the first argument:

"china is doing all this silently"

no, actually we just haven't been listening.
CSS is perfectly fine for what it was designed for. Unfortunately, when it was being designed, tables were still viewed as perfectly acceptable for layout, and as far as I can tell, CSS didn't really aim to replace it. It seems to me that it was us OCD designers that wanted semantic markup who adopted CSS for layout, where sane people would use tables.

(EDIT: I should probably clarify that this is 100% speculation, and based in no way on having read anything published by the W3C or anything like that.)

Right now, everything sucks.

Why try to frame this in terms of "evolutionary advantage"? There's absolutely no reason to believe that the belief in free will is not epiphenomenal, or a spandrel.

"If you call your variables a, b, c, then it will be impossible to search for instances of them using a simple text editor."

This may be the single most important piece of advice in the history of writing source code.

Then why do I keep running into violations of this. Just yesterday. Again today. 3 times last week. It's tough enough sifting through your garbage when I don't know what the variables means, it's 10 times tougher when I can't find them.

The solution? If you ever murder a programmer who wrote

for x = xx to xxx

the penalty should be an $18 fine and community service.

[Seriously, I would amend this rule to, "No variable name should fully contain any other variable name or reserved word." If I do a global search for "vendEmail" I should get every instance of that variable and nothing else. Naming variables is not rocket science. Sometimes it just seems that way.]
Not at all, on the contrary, thank you. Sometimes my wife comments on my "original" colour combinations when getting the kids dressed in the morning. I retort that she should tag their clothes with proper CSS labels.

But for an icon editor, I'm guessing HSV colour choosers work better for most non-developers. But don't worry, you'll get your #rrggbb field (I prefer it, too :))
Microsoft has poured lots of money into basic research R&D over the years, which did not seem to pay off much in terms of popular products. Apple, Nintendo, Google, etc. seemed to come out with more innovative products, despite spending nowhere close to what Microsoft spends on R&D.

This looks like a big exception to that. Johnny Lee, as a recently minted PhD, certainly knows the state of the art in this field, so if he says it is way beyond what other researchers are doing I believe him.

If they can deliver the kind of sensing, voice and face recognition in the demo, along with higher end graphics than the Wii, they should easily own the next generation of consoles.
