Apple extends developer accounts to prevent expiration during downtime [Update]
One thing to consider is that Nate Silver having a big audience is almost certainly a good thing in the world. It's less important what he works on and more important that he's able to spread some small measure of statistical fluency to as many people as possible. He's a good writer, and is able to convey confusing aspects of statistical analysis to lay people. There are academics doing academic-y things in the shadows, and there will be for the foreseeable future. Silver, though can maximize the impact of his particular gifts by increasing his audience and chipping away at the enormous levels of statistical ignorance in the world.

In fact, there's a great tradition of this in the sciences. In terms of popularizing science, Nate Silver is a kindred of people like Carl Sagan (Cosmos), Steven Hawking (A Brief History of Time), Randall Munroe (XKCD), as well as Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman (MythBusters)
Yes, I've read the Pike and CML, they're good work. Haven't got around to Hoare 1978, and I don't see it online, but as I understand it, threads = coroutines + interleaving; adding interleaving won't reduce the problems in reasoning about code. If the distinction is that processes don't share state, I don't think that works, since you can implement mutable cells using channels and processes. (Obviously it's less of a problem than, say, pthreads, if that's the only mutable shared state.)

> Cocoa (like everything) has some rough patches, but overall is clean, elegant, and has a pretty consistent feel and vision.

Exactly. Also, Apple has the courage to regularly deprecate and subsequently remove things from Cocoa/Core/Darwin, keeping it clean, focused and elegant.

Which bring us to the GGP comment:

> But any other API that is capable of as much as Win32 is would end up looking almost as bad, minus a lot of the legacy cruft, except of course in the time it takes to develop such an all encompassing API, you'd end up with legacy cruft all of your own!*

To which I disagree wholeheartedly (not just because of Cocoa, but every single sane API out there regularly deprecates then drops stuff). Win32 accreted features around a core of cruft like a black hole. The only solution for Microsoft is to relegate the 8/16/32bit heritage lying at its core and drop it dead as it's collapsing under its own weight. Which is what they did with the Win8 internal design, where Win32 is relegated to a gangrenous limb awaiting to be severed.

I'm not sure it is right to speak of "most people". Many people use OCaml these days. For instance, I have the impression that in work on program verification and static analysis OCaml is more popular than Haskell. Coq is written in OCaml, for example. The Haskell community much more vocal though.

Harper has strong opinions, but he has a few points. Haskell may be great, but one should be aware that it is not an improvement on SML in each and every respect. For example, SML has a much better module system than Haskell.

Several years ago, I tried NetBeans vs Eclipse and chose NetBeans altough it was far from perfect, but Eclispe was not better. The GUI was better.

I do not regret my choice. NetBeans has always progressively improved on its weaknesses, releases after releases. I revisited Eclispe a couple of times, but was not overall convinced by it.

UPDATED: GitHub services return after denial-of-service attack
Statement from Mikey the robot:

First, we have not joined any program that would give the U.S. government—or any other government—direct access to our servers. Indeed, the U.S. government does not have direct access or a “back door” to the information stored in our data centers. We had not heard of a program called PRISM until yesterday.

In all seriousness though, give it a try, if you don't think it's useful just shoot us an email and we'll wipe your data.
And how about all "forgot your password" forms that might be exploited on other services. An other service you not been using for long sends you a "long time no see" promotion and your old account is in someone else's hands.

I think there's been a lot of lessons lately about why Internet should not be centralized...
I definitely did a little title baiting, but I think it's justified in this case. This is a monumental cock-up.
In my case they're useless because I read email via IMAP -- I only ever visit the web interface if I don't have access to my laptop or want to flag something as spam.

More to the point, I do not want some algorithm "helpfully" sorting my incoming email into different views according to some opaque criteria that I don't get to define or tweak: I want to see everything in my default inbox, no exceptions.

Permitting someone else to sort my mail via rules I have not defined is how important business email gets missed or overlooked.
Office, Office, Office. While I would much, much prefer to be writing my data analytic reports in Markdown/LaTeX and formatting them beautifully, the need for people (sales people, damn you sales!) to quickly steal slides and put them in their own presentations requires me to use Powerpoint.

Given that i hate Apple much more than I hate Microsoft (because seriously, Apple are much more dangerous) I'm stuck on Windows (until I write some kind of Markdown/LaTeX to power point converter (unfortunately, I also have a thesis to finish, so that's a while away yet) for work, where the first thing I install is Cygwin (and the thing I miss most is easy X-forwarding) and yet I can't switch.

Additionally, Excel is a fine product for quick and dirty analysis, while being a nightmare for any kind of continued development, so I end up using that.

Please don't mention Impress and Calc, I use them but Impress just doesn't interoperate well enough with powerpoint to make it useful, and Calc is good (regex search) but not as polished as Excel.

Its so unbelievably depressing that I'm stuck with this on the desktop, but that's the power of network effects for you.

For another example, see Facebook.

They have the cash and they have the researchers. Brilliant researchers doing excellent research. Thing is; they don't really use that research. A few things end up in cash cow products (like one of the automated data type detection features of rise4fun.com went into Excel), but that's about it.
Yahoo of all companies should know what type of users still retain their emails and what type has moved on.

I had setup my mom's email on Yahoo (cause Gmail didn't exist and Hotmail, freshly bought by MS, was rubbish). She had a habit of entering it to everything and was soon unusable. We went over online browsing and safety, but not before her private info ended up on a dozen or so spammy sites. That was more than 10 years ago.

There's no way to reset the password for that thing, since backup emails weren't present plus IT WAS MORE THAN 10 YEARS AGO! Also, she doesn't have a Facebook page, doesn't want a Facebook page and will likely never get one in the future. She's done handing out her info to people she doesn't know.

I'm sure some of her info is still on it, but if Yahoo goes through with this, there will be hell to pay.
They certainly can be. Partnership agreements normally cover this type of thing in great detail.

I strongly believe that in the USA of today saying out loudly that a radical change is needed to get the country back on its Constitutional track could make one a terrorism suspect. If they can label 82-year old nun a terrorist and try her in court on this nonsense, then why not me or others who speak out loud ?

> What? If anything Windows Phone and Nokia is growing exceptionally in the emerging markets specifically India and Africa.

Do people like it though? I'm in the EU and everyone, including me, who has Windows phones really despise them. Not only techies; one of my friends threw hers into the toilet because she couldn't bear that crap anymore. Which is stupid ofcourse, but it shows how deep the hatred goes. The thing just really doesn't work on many levels. We make apps for it because clients ask us too, but I would never use that thing in it's current form for anything other than that. I have done for a few months and it was a joke. So with aggressive marketing (which I see all around me here) they manage to sell a lot of these phones, but do people actually like them? I haven't seen anyone happy with it except a few people here on HN. I don't really understand how that works, but everyone who I meet in real life really hates it.

Surface I don't know; lot of people here on HN seem to like it. I tried it in the shop and the keyboard was annoying the crap out of me after about 5 seconds. I'm used to Apple chiclet keyboards now and I type blind and fast; it seemed to really not function that well doing that. Maybe I need more than 5 seconds, but the first impression was that it was a toy. And only a tablet is worthless as I need to write code.

The daisy-chaining of email addresses that may or may not be active anymore (some due to ISP going out of business) and stupid security questions that I can't remember (who was my freaking favourite author in 2002 ?!) turned this into a real clusterfuck.

Ah, right, so the decisive factor of the GP is not whether the guy is running a legitimate business, it's whether the guy is using the domain to mislead people into thinking he's Nissan cars.

So, for example, a personal site with a few family photos of someone called Nissan, or whose nickname is Nissan, or who just liked the word, would not be infringing, so they couldn't take it away, correct?

* Coalesce around market-making implementation guidelines and creative standards.

* Create common ground with developer to reduce costly friction in the content delivery chain.

* Share best practices that foster audience growth.

* Generate industry-wide research and thought leadership that would solidify Interactive as the leading consultancy

* Create countervailing force to balance power of other free software, privacy advocates, and de facto internet standards groups.

I've heard very very mixed reviews. Several direct friends of mine have installed them and gotten very poor results. I think much of it depends on the predictability of your time at home/away and the location of the thermostat itself to sense activity.

My distilled opinion is that they are not significantly better than a simple programmable thermostat for most people.

It's not you. I've always been an Eclipse guy. Netbeans was to heavy on my machine back in the day. I've only stuck with it because I am very familiar with it. I'm going to switch to Netbeans on my next project because I feel I've been missing out on a lot.
Actually I meant that it's one of Gmail weaknesses that I need a gmail-specific client to use it properly.
People on here think he's a demigod, and most of the world shouldn't have a reason to give a damn because he isn't all that important.

I have a Nest and the only thing I wish it wouldn't do is turn off the air at all when the weather system knows that it's very hot outside (perhaps this has to do with poor insulation, though). Otherwise, if you turn off auto-away during heat waves, it's great. The home I live in has pets and the thermostat is located on the top floor (it's old and the layout is less than efficient) so having access to it from anywhere in the world in an easy-to-use manner is incredibly useful.

It's probably because the Nest is designed for use in a residential building. The use case of commercial HVAC is not even close to the same. Most commercial HVAC systems are designed, sized, and ran in a completely different manner than a typical home.
