You are still missing the point. They wrote it because it looked like fun. It's not targeting a business problem as such it's more like it's scratching the "This looks like fun" itch.

Could it maybe be used for something sure. But that doesn't have to be the motivation of the authors.
Even assuming that Git is unassailable with a billion dollar budget:

How long has the Linux kernel been under development?

How long has it been version controlled using Git?

How long has it been a potential target of state sponsored espionage agencies?

The potential adversaries have been taking cryptography and security seriously since long before the Linux community. They have larger budgets and significant expertise backed by patriotism and economic rewards.

Compared to pulling a nuclear submarine wreck from the depths of the Pacific, Git might not appear so difficult.

I love Ubuntu. So do the 20 or so other people I know that use Linux--I have not heard of a single person sticking with mint; a few have used it for a bit and gone back (not sure why---I should ask). I have never used Mint myself, maybe it is great, I am just reporting the numbers I have seen.

Great post. It was last year that there was a lot of chatter from everyone, worrying that we were in a bubble. Since then the talk of bubble has apparently decreased but the real signs of a bubble have accelerated, in particular, crazy living costs.

Very worried to read that this is still happening:

I believe the "web 2.0" bubble did pop in 2008. However, we saw the rise of the "app economy" at the same time. Anyone failing in the web 2.0 sector could easily, and often transparently, pivot to the sudden demand for mobile applications.

Whether that is a sign of the software industry maturing, or if it was just plain good luck, remains to be seen.

My examples must be misleading, I'm not against creating classes.

All I'm trying to say, is that in some cases (i.e. when you only need a particular set of styles for a single page/section), limiting the scope of those style definition can help dealing with specificity hell / bleeding styles, and make the application more maintainable.

Obviously, this is a trade-off, a big one if you want your site to be consistent across pages. But there will be occasions where one or more page of a site/app is vastly different from other pages.
It would be interesting to see what would happen to YouTube if the comments were removed from video / channel pages for a week or a month.

Exactly. People seem to think that you make money by riding a bubble to the top, then jumping off when the timing is right at its peak. Turns out that is a great way to lose money (nobody jumps off fast enough). The real money is made cleaning up after a disaster.

Curious how the advent of companies like WeFund et al. will change this. As much as people like the "feel-good" aspect of the common man being able to invest in start-ups, I'm interested in seeing how this turns out. It's been said a thousand times, but for every Facebook / Google startup there are many, many more that crash & burn that simply don't make headlines.
I like how the comments to your legitimate complaint are telling you there isn't a problem.

Remember popups from the 90's? This is a popup. And it's both annoying and unjustified; offer people to keep updated or fill in a survey once they've visited your site a couple of times, kthx. And don't do popups. Never do popups.
Flipside: Not charging for the app allows the user to try the app without buying it.

If the content is worth paying for the user can choose how much to "invest" in it even though, generally, the in-app purchase model is going to cost way more than up-front purchase.

I think it's a fascinating tradeoff. A typical approach with JIT-compilation is to write relatively inefficient code and hope that the JIT compiler picks up on it and optimizes it for you. Their approach seems to instead be to say "if you generate particular sequences of instructions, we'll detect those and instead execute a more efficient version, every time".

IMO this is a really cool idea because the performance optimizations are quite a bit less brittle than the ones you get with a JIT-compiled virtual machine.
First of all, the team being young could refer to the age of the team and not the employees' ages. Either way, are you seriously that uncomfortable about your current age that this stands out to you?

The problem for us wasn't so much the email delay, it was that whenever a user would send a message from their iPhone, they'd get an error message "Server rejected mail." If gmail had accepted the message but delayed it on the server side, we probably wouldn't have noticed an issue at all.

There's no good way yet to uniquely identify a person based on a (dodgy) picture of them or sample of their voice. Whereas fingerprints are used for this daily* and a quickly searchable database of these (or just their "hashes") would be incredibly useful to _somebody_.

These things are everywhere in NYC, and in my opinion really dangerous. They're mostly used by food delivery guys who are always going the wrong way in the bike lanes, and even if they are going the right way you often don't hear them coming up behind you because they're really fast and completely silent.

I love the project concept. A toy functional OS would be an admirable counterpart to e.g. MINIX. That said, I have one minor quibble:

A programming language is called a language for a reason - it should activate the human linguistic lobes.

Another programmer said this, a long time ago, and that's how we ended up with Perl. Please don't seek to emulate Larry Wall. Perl is great for quick automation, but anything complicated built with Perl quickly converges to unintelligible line noise (barring the exercise of zen-like discipline). If you're making something for beginners, please, please, give them the tools to build abstractions in a consistent and understandable manner.

Ubuntu is moving to Mir instead of X11 - existing proprietary drivers will not work after the switch. It would benefit all parties if graphics support would not be a deal breaker for upgrading 14.04 which is when i think Canonical plans to support mainly Mir. From what I've read it seems that Canonical are actively working on getting this hardware support to work out by talking to vendors. Maybe this is part of that effort?
This is pretty close to my interpretation. Basically I think that Valve has forced the hands of the graphics card makers to elevate the Linux platform to first class citizen status. Due to the poor integration of the Nvidia proprietary drivers with the Linux kernel, it seems like they have two options to get their drivers into a better state:

1. Hire a lot of kernel hackers

2. Try to get the open source driver maintainers to improve integration in a way that is closer to the actual hardware (without giving everything away), and then somehow tie their proprietary driver into that integration code.

The letter certainly doesn't express interest in improving the capabilities of the nouveau drivers to a point that they can compete with the proprietary drivers in terms of 3d performance, and I think that it would be prudent of the open source driver maintainers to be skeptical of Nvidia's motives given the timing and limited nature of the release.

Breaking styles into multiple css files is definitely the natural next step, a necessary one when your css files are growing past thousands of lines.

If performance (minimizing http requests) is not a big deal, then that'll be end of story. But if it unfortunately is a problem, current tools generally support combine/minimize them into a single file, but not dynamically choosing based on page requested.

You're not that special :-) I do the same thing. And I complain to developers that place buttons like "see our other apps" or similar on the main screen of their app.

There aren't many good apps for kids. If your app is good, I will actively search for other apps done by you — no prompting needed. This is how I purchased a number of Toca Boca apps, for example.

I also think most good apps for kids are priced too low. I'd have no problems paying $15 for an app like "Little Digits". In general, I think $5 is fine for apps which are just fun/games, $10 or more if the app teaches something useful.

I think smartphones and tablets have a lot of untapped potential as educational tools, but I'm worried we'll never get there with $1.99 apps.

Yeah, I'm pretty worried about what's going to happen there. I don't think that normal people have any sense of the level of risk involved, and it's probably a matter of time before companies start driving hard to get investment money from unsophisticated investors by highlighting the few massive successes.

I'm very happy to have the chance to invest in startups, I'm just not sure it's a good thing overall.

There are lots of situations where youtube comments would actually improve the quality of the content. Educational videos, for example, are often clarified and elaborated on in the comments.

Unfortunately, trolling comments often ruin this opportunity. If I wanted to show my nephew a video from khan academy or a news report, I would probably have to turn off or hide the comments before showing him the video.

I feel like we have had varying levels of bubble phobia for at least a year now. It's starting to feel like it would be more surprising if there wasn't a bubble then if there was.

And isn't the whole point of a bubble that people are bidding something up unaware that it's value is fictitious? Which seems difficult if everyones constantly talking about a bubble, no?

I agree. Seems their strategy is to offer some teaser feature/product/whatever and the only way to access it is to create a new Google Plus account. So now I have THREE separate Google Plus accounts. Personal, Business and now YouTube. I would just delete YouTube but I have thousands of views and my Adsense account is linked to that. I'd like to make more content for YouTube but they make it difficult to manage multiple accounts for multiple channels. For example, I don't want my abstract painting videos associated with my primary business, that would be bad for my business. If I make another channel, I think that means I need a separate email address, separate password and a separate Google Plus profile and then logout, login, logout, login, there's got to be a better way. I'd put my art videos on Vimeo but YouTube has all the traffic and I'm a YouTube partner! That's just the tip of the iceberg.

Well, of course, Larry Wall is a god.

But that said, the main difference between Hoon line noise and Perl line noise is that most of the ASCII we use has a very regular structure, with a (relatively) limited set of exceptions. So it looks about equally alien at first, but the Hoon ideogram (digraph) set should be easier to learn. Unfortunately at present the set of people who know it is very small - so the theory really hasn't been tested.

It is what it is. But at least there's no Unicode. (Not that you can't have Unicode in strings, of course.)

And anyone who doesn't like line noise has to stand up for reserved words. Some of us welcome that conversation...

I have mixed feelings about it. I certainly think it is helpful to know when something with published for the context you mean. I think it also probably makes sense to lead less with it for content that isn't that time-sensitive.

The broader point is that I think people will organize their content less around timestamps and more around relevance, the reader, etc.

It sounds like like you're trying to encourage more meaningful connections between engineers and recruiters. That's a good thing, but the term PR is a turn off even used as an analogy.

Even if engineers are the mark rather than the intended audience, those roles often overlap so your message should appeal to both.

That said I think your content is on the right track. Maybe title it something like “here’s how to encourage more meaningful connections between engineers and recruiters”...
