SV tech giants creates artificial demand in SF by providing premium buses, without motivating any sort of supply. Developers can't choose to say, build more housing near the place of employment in SF because there isn't one. The closest would be to build near a bus stop -- which is completely ephemeral real estate.

And that's the point of the article. How can developers possibly respond to this demand?
I'm just writing to let you know your insulting responses have earned you no further replies from me. I invite you to reconsider how you write to people on the internet and perhaps avoid writing things like, "grow up."

This thread has given me more karma than your entire account has received in its existence. I think it's clear there is a vocal minority of people who are posting a half-dozen comments each in this thread while the vast majority at least don't find what I'm saying as offensive as you apparently do.

The Dragon capsule is more "payload" than "stage". The Falcon 9 will have two stages (hopefully both eventually landing themselves). The Dragon (not always used. Sometimes they may just stick a satellite or something on top) will also be able to land itself.

Sort of like how the Saturn V is considered a 3-stage rocket, even though during the later Apollo missions it had on top a service module, a command module, and a (two stage!) lunar module.
The United States economy is based upon Military Keynesianism.

The federal government does not analyze spending the same way we do because __spending benefits the economy__, which is part of the government's responsibility. They intentionally spend money to stimulate the economy.

So when the military spends $1 trillion on planes, they are really trading $1 trillion for planes plus economic stimulus.

In other words, the planes don't literally cost $1 trillion. Rather the cost of the planes = $1 trillion minus the economic benefit of spending.

Agreed. Especially for the young people referenced. People are flocking there in droves out of college with very little job prospects and an extremely competitive job market (outside of tech).

I love the idea of prefacing a hardware release with an app that is both useful to many people and could get some people interested in the hardware who otherwise wouldn't be. I myself am pretty sure I have perfect hearing but am interested in trying this out when I get home from work tonight.
Well for one they use parallax (on the iPhone) which obviously communicates depth, plus background items out of focus, plus there is a very very light drop shadow on all the icons (oddly a png directly encoded directly into the html on beta.icloud.com) and a shadow around the text.

The icons themselves are mostly flat with some exceptions (Contacts has a very strong bevel and there is a slight bevel on the notes icon).

What are your objections to the contacts icon? I'm not fond of the reminders one but contacts doesn't look too bad. My only problem with it would be that it still maintains a slightly skeuomorphic look with the ABCD tabs down the side.
Not every language has to have webdev functionality shoehorned into it. I hardly think that having more web developers involved would speed up the development of the high quality scientific packages that Julia contributors are already currently working on. The people the Julia community should focus on attracting are data scientists and researchers in quantitative fields. That being said, the guys at Hackerschool are working on a web framework for Julia https://github.com/hackerschool/Morsel.jl.

Oh and major kudos to the Julia team. This is a seriously awesome piece of software. The decision to write most of the runtime in Julia itself and rely on a solid JIT compiler and simple FFI to get the necessary performance was very well thought out.

Oh my goodness! What was the point of saying that, really?

>I think it's clear there is a vocal minority of people who are posting a half-dozen comments each in this thread while the vast majority at least don't find what I'm saying as offensive as you apparently do.

I don't find this offensive. I'm just asking you to be technically correct with what you say, or to at least address the people who are confused by what you're saying. Apparently, that's too high of a standard for you to live up to.
>Check newest MS Word you can still open Word 97 documents.

It's not really a fair comparison at all. One is a stylesheet, the other is a desktop office application.

>but until now its been a normal thing that the new version is compatible with old one

Not true at all, look at Python 2->3, PHP 4->5, jQuery 1.x->2.x. Major releases often break backwards compatibility.

>from spending hours and hours rewriting their codebase to match your newest release

Design is not something you have to rewrite to 'match the newest release', there are no security vulnerabilities in a style sheet. It is fine to stay in Bootstrap 2.
Slightly off topic, but the website of the company being talked about in this article (https://ooomf.com/) take a REALLY long time to load on my computer.

The Premier League said had never intended legitimate sites to be affected. But it also expressed concern at the idea that the ISPs were taking unilateral action.
"The court order that requires internet service providers to block this website clearly states that any issues they have in implementing the block must be raised with the Premier League before taking any further action," said a spokesman.

What an arrogant comment!

I think this article glosses over the general "fossilization" of aerospace/defence corporations in the USA, and Lock/Mart in particular.

Before merging, Lockheed and Martin both had the reputation of being really hidebound. From experience, Martin was exceptionally married to processes and procedures and tradition.

If you look at other things that LockMart has (like the Littoral Combat Ship, http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2013/01/littoral-combat-ship...) you can see that LockMart has general engineering problems.

General engineering troubles seems to plague LockMart.

This is pretty awesome. I don't know that Pi was "meant to be paired" with Python but it certainly seems to be a nice match. I have a feeling most of the development on this device will end up being Python stuff.

Cool site, I just signed up!
It actually arose out of a templating language project within Google, which was written in C++. We evaluated the existing C/C++ parsers (which at the time were Webkit, the auto-generated port of validator.nu, and another Google-internal parser - we didn't learn about Hubbub until later), and found that the effort needed to integrate with our project, and the number of dependencies they would bring into the serving system, precluded us from using them easily. Hixie suggested "Just write your own! It shouldn't be too hard, the algorithm is all specified in the HTML spec" (har, har, famous last words), and Gumbo was born out of naivete and youthful optimism. :-)

There were a bunch of reasons for the choice of C over C++:

1. At the time, we were doing a bunch of stuff with LLVM in the templating language. I'd previously been responsible for trying to integrate LLVM with C++ generated code, and it is painful, mostly because of name mangling and vtable dispatch. Providing a C API sidesteps this entirely, as LLVM can call into C code and use C structs no problem, and once the API is in C there's little reason to make the internals be in C++.

2. We wanted to provide tooling for this templating language, and the easiest way to write tooling is in Python or some other scripting language. It's easier to provide Python etc. bindings with a C API than a C++ API.

3. We'd intended from the start to open-source this. One of the team members had significant open-source experience, and he pointed out that within the open-source community, there are a number of people who basically refuse to use C++ and will instantly disqualify a C++ library. So regardless of whether these people are right, to reach the maximum number of people and prospective projects it should be in C.
Is parallel buggy or is it just me? For example if i have a list of ip addresses:

$ cat ips.txt | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn

3 127.0.0.1
2 192.168.1.1
1 192.168.1.2

Now i want to reformat the output of uniq -c, i want the count to the last column:

$ cat ips.txt | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | parallel --colsep ' ' echo {2} {1}

But gives empty output.. what gives?
It only works if I double pipe it thru parallel like this:

$ cat ips.txt | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | \
parallel --trim lr echo | parallel --colsep ' ' echo {2} {1}

127.0.0.1 3
192.168.1.1 2
192.168.1.2 1
But can I host this on my own server?
So what modules does the video show?

Also, if the mission is something like transport astronauts to the ISS, why eject any stages at all? Why not just make the rocket capable of flying to the ISS, let the whole thing dock to the ISS, exchange astronauts, then detach and land back on Earth?

(Of course, if there are tons of missions happening around the same time, all requiring a first stage rocket, and each mission has a period that doesn't require any rocket, then I see the point of letting the rocket go back and be used for other things.)
You could file bugs for these rather than posting them in a comment thread that will likely be soon forgotten.

I guess it's a nice design but I really think it's wrong, really wrong to design a webapp like a native app and their apps look empty. For instance, I personally don't care about different kinds of templates in Pages, what I want is collaboration between different users, this is the whole point of the internet to enable synchronization, live updates and sharing... And imitating a desktop with sticky notes on it, it's unbelievable. I wonder if real people use their online apps, I can't imagine this is the case. All it shows to me is how much they don't get the Web and how much it's not in their DNA, it's scary.

This is bad.

If you have any experience reading legal opinions or understand the architecture of the Internet, nothing in Google Legal's motion should surprise you. The alarming title is merely a citation of well-established legal doctrine, that a communications intermediary has the right to retain the information required to enable your communications, and that that data can be subpoenaed by government officials. There's nothing new (or surprising) in the quoted section.

Google hasn't admitted to anything that should be surprising for a free web-mail service. Except for the automatically-targeted ads, your ISP probably does most of the same stuff, and because your small-town ISP doesn't have Google's infrastructure, your data is likely less secure with them.

None of these facts matter. A major US newspaper just took that information out-of-context and created an alarming linkbait title. Most people who see that headline won't take the time to consider how valid it is; it will merely chip away at their confidence in Google as a provider (and in online systems in general).
But it is Microsoft who made it trendy among web designers and even influenced Apple. Ironically this trend started by a company which was remarked as "tasteless" by Steve Jobs.

So, if spending unilaterally stimulates the economy, then why stop at $1 trillion? Why not just spend quadrillions of dollars and really stimulate the economy? The answer is that the there is a very real opportunity cost to their spending. That trillion dollars could have been spend on other infrastructure, or education, or even a more efficient warplane, and all of those expenditures would have resulted in greater value creation.

Gotcha, I just notice most problems seem to be of the "clang interprets the standard this way, therefore it must be wrong because gcc compiles it".

I think having multiple different interpretations of undefined behavior a good thing. Means new standards could likely define it. Also shows how much code manages to compile that probably shouldn't. I know i've been surprised with what ambiguous stuff gcc has allowed in my own code.
Trick question. No service does, only your own.
If people wouldn't work at a company in the valley without the private shuttles because it would be too difficult to get there, then the company is clearly getting enormous benefit from the arrangement. It is certainly a good thing that they reduce the number of cars on the road, but it isn't clear to me that all of those people would still be going that far to work everyday without the shuttle. I'm not sure I see it as "providing a public good" for that reason.
I really think you're making a big thing out of nothing. The image didn't show up because I read the text on my phone and the name is foreign to me, so I didn't make the connection there either. Of course I could have found it out, but since it's completely irrelevant to me, I didn't bother. I suppose it does say something about me that I default to assume she was male, but statistically speaking I probably would be right.
I really like this redesign. The old one was horrible imo and I was worried they'd update iOS 7 and forget about iCloud (even though I don't use the website that often it would still bug me).
Did research on the genetic basis of IQ stop with Jensen and Murray's Bell Curve?Every proponent of this view always names this two figures without mentioning more recent findings.
I've been using iOS7 since Beta 2, and I still hate it.

I don't like the look, but this might be personal. So putting this aside, to me iOS7 is actually harder to use. The flat buttons (which are just labels now) are harder to press. I do not know if this is psychological since they appear smaller, or is it that the target area is actually smaller now. Toggles are grayed out in their off state, so they appear disabled, as in "you are not supposed to be pressing it now" (see Speaker control in the Voice Memos app).

There are also a lot of other things they changed during the redesign for worse from my perspective. For example: in the Voice Memos app I used to be able to record and play back a sequence quickly. Now
* I stop recording a sample
* Press Done
* Am forced to label it (why!!)
* Expand the memo I just recorded (why is it collapsed - I am still working on it)
* Hit play

I record 20+ samples a day I need to listen to quickly, and this is so frustrating.

There are other things like this throughout the OS. In calendar for example you can't expand the Notes on the meeting, so god forbid someone puts important meeting information there.

It seems to me like people at Apple actually stopped using their phones. These little things scream at you once you actually try to get something done.
I love that Julia does so many things in so Lispy a way. I wish that other languages like Lush received similar amounts of attention.
But most of these issues aren't nearly as viscerally visual and high-profile as an exclusive "you can't get on" bus fleet. It's simply an incredibly in-your-face reminder of everything else that is wrong with San Francisco.

Are people really envious and want to ride a bus that goes to one place in effectively the middle of nowhere where there is a business park they have no business being at? A lot of things are exclusive, people's cars and residences are some of those. There may be a divide, but no one is complaining they don't get to go inside someone else's house whenever they want, and if they did, they wouldn't be taken seriously.

I'm not sure this is the actual reason or the message you mean to portray.
I think you meant "could not end up as that same letter"?

That's possible, but it doesn't actually save all that much effort, and the interface layer would slow things down needlessly.

The parts of C++ that I most missed with this project were standard libraries for string and vector. Many times they were just accumulating or munging values that would eventually end up in the C-API parse tree, and so if I wrote them in C++, I'd just need to translate to a C implementation afterwards. I could potentially have used classes & objects for some of the states, but the array-of-function-pointers that it currently uses is basically just as easy and simpler.
>> "For instance, I personally don't care about different kinds of templates in Pages, what I want is collaboration between different users"

On the other hand I'm sure a lot of people do care about templates and would never use collaboration. I'm one of them. I don't create text documents often and have never needed to collaborate on one. Collaboration seems like more of an enterprise/business feature to me and that's a market Pages really doesn't seem meant for.
