If I was GabeN and wanted to sell the SteamMachines and distribute SteamOS I'd offer to help these companies debug their OpenGL drivers so that Linux/SteamOS driver support is top notch by the time SteamOS and SteamMachines launch in 2014.

By helping out the FOSS community to have better OpenGL driver support it will get Valve Software a lot of goodwill. Projects like Dolphin will benefit from it, and of course those Steam Linux games will as well.

I really want to see the Linux Gaming Platform take off, many game developers avoid Linux ports because of buggy OpenGL drivers and bad support of it. I think Microsoft did this with DirectX standards because I remember early on DirectX drivers were buggy and game companies wanted to stay with DOS based games and not port to Windows, because DOS had better video support drivers. Once Microsoft worked with video card OEMs to improve their drivers and DirectX support, the video game companies ported their games to Windows 32 bit format (Windows 9X and then later NT/2000/XP) because of DirectX based libraries and better drivers and fewer bugs. It will take a company like Valve to coordinate the OpenGL stability between OEMs to get it stable enough to port games to Linux.
Which is not enforceable for grunt engineers in virtually all cases.

And if in the rare case it is enforceable (normally for very senior C level roles) you have to be paid for it!

I don't know what goes into Yelp's filter either. I also agree that it can make mistakes. At the same time, I do think that the filter is more likely to catch a fake review than it is to catch a real review. This is the assumption our analysis relies on. (Not sure what I should be rethinking...)

DataStax still claimed these properties while the bugs were live. It's important they fixed them quickly, but the point still stands—the point of the entire series, I think—that database companies very frequently make big claims that few people go through the process of checking... even at the companies themselves.

As someone who for a time bought MTG cards, in the secondary market, there is real money to be made in apps with analyzing financial data.

The secondary market is like a stock market only without regulations, has high fluctuations and swings. Oh and the God of world, Hasbro can reprint most cards in new sets except for a few on the reserve list at wil. Overnight a card can rise or fall. There are many people trying to predict the next swing and trying to get in on the ground floor.

If you're good at analyzing data, can grasp the game quickly and understand why certain cards are more valuable than others, then there is a great opportunity to "sell shovels to gold diggers".

The main market is http://magic.tcgplayer.com/ for the US. http://www.starcitygames.com/ is the one everyone watches. If they begin to buy up cards and force up prices or slash prices, the market notices. If you have a spare weekend, take a look. Might make a good side project.

Curiosity's SAM Instrument Finds Water and More in Surface Sample
Scope.$digest is 100SLOC long, about a half of which are variable declarations, closing brackets and comments. I think, anyone capable of reading and comprehending normal non-obfuscated JS code should be able to understand what's going on within an hour at worst.

This is certainly not a trivial part of the code (tree traversal is a bit obscure, they even have comment that it is; it probably could be much nicer if JS would really had graph handling in the standard library), but certainly not "hard as hell", it's more likely "if you need to understand this (as if something goes wrong or works in an unexpected manner), you have to spend some time to get how internals actually work".

I have seen the code that is very hard (if not nearly impossible) to understand without some special knowledge. Angular, in my opinion, is not even remotely close.
And it's comment #1!
Very nice. Going to use this in an upcoming project.

Sooooo. A company started in 2007 and sold in 2013 for $800 million. I feel like the author is a little lost in the trees and not seeing the forest. Stripe came along much later and by most accounts was valued at $500 million at their last round. Now, Braintree had reasons for why it couldn't get all the way to IPO so there were some challenges. However, I would take a guess that less than 1% of all startups have an $800 mil + exit after 6 years. And now there's another one right behind them (Stripe).

I recently posted 2 reviews on Yelp (I'm not very active on it; this was probably my 2nd and 3rd ever). I gave rave reviews for both. One is filtered, one is not. I see a 50% failure rate in filtering, from my extremely small sample size. Oh, and one of them was in NYC (the non-filtered one). The filtered one, well the chef knows who I am, since I said the same thing to him at dinner that I posted in the review.
I decided not to go with AngularJS, mainly because I want to reuse as much client side logic as possible in future native apps and Angular seemed very tightly coupled to browser apps and the DOM. With Backbone find it easier to separate the UI specific code so that I can swap it out and control native UI elements instead, running the js in a hidden WebView. Anyone tell me if I'm wrong.
"...whether or not natural selection is sufficient to change one species into another..."

Species aren't necessarily as well defined as you might like. The (complete form of the) usual definition is something like, "A species is a group of critters (that look alike, and) that interbreed among themselves but which do not (normally) interbreed (in the wild) with members of another group of critters (and produce fertile offspring)." (Plus a few caveats that I've probably missed.) There are many reasons why two purportive species do not interbreed: they physically can't, they produce sterile offspring, they don't find each other attractive, or they are simply geographically separated; although in the last case, separated groups tend to quickly become morphologically different, in which case one of the other options applies.

For a brilliant example of the taxonomic follies, check out ring species[1]:

"The Lesser Black-backed Gulls [of Northwestern Europe] and [European] Herring Gulls [mostly from Great Britain and Ireland] are sufficiently different that they do not normally hybridize [, but the E.H.G. can hybridize with the American Herring Gull, (living in North America), which can also hybridize with the Vega or East Siberian Herring Gull, the western subspecies of which, Birula's Gull, can hybridize with Heuglin's gull, which in turn can hybridize with the Siberian Lesser Black-backed Gull]; thus the group of gulls forms a continuum except where the two lineages meet in Europe."

This is not to say that "species" is not a meaningful distinction, is a "judgement call", or is "open to personal opinion" or something. There are good reasons to divide critters up, but unfortunately, it is not the case that Someone sat down and said, "THESE THINGS ARE NORMAN'S HERRING GULLS, NOW AND FOREVERMORE!"

"We've observed finches turning into finches (with different beaks)..."

Finches are a family (as in kingdom-phylum-class-order-family-genus-species) containing something more than 100 species.[2] Please don't make the creationist's error of declaring, "all bats are bats and are all one thing". If a different beak shape makes Rupert's Seed-Eating Finch unattractive to the Red-Breasted Yellow-bellied Fruit-Smacking Finch, so that they don't typically hook up, then they're legitimately different species, as much as any two others.

> I've noticed that I often just started asking google questions instead of trying to assemble a sequence of words that I think will divine the results I'm looking for.

This is an interesting area where I found myself playing catch-up to the less technical people in my life. For a long time I saw them typing questions into google and getting bad results and my recommendation to use keywords never really stuck, probably because they didn't have the same mental model of how searching worked that I did.

Then along came a few sites that targeted question-askers and sometimes if you asked a question you'd find someone else asking the same question along with some answers of high variable quality. I didn't discover this myself, because I never typed questions into google -- I had to see observe the less technical people getting better results than me occasionally to pick up on this.

Still, they got worse results most of the time, and while it was a new tool in my arsenal, it wasn't usually what I was looking for and I used it sparingly.

Then when the first iPhone with Siri came out, I bought it for a family member and demo'd it. I did all the stuff the commercial was doing to make it seem like magic.

So my family member takes it and starts talking to it like it's a human. And I instantly regret what I've done, because I knew some keywords it would pick up on to look like magic, but I've made it look like you don't need to know the keywords, you just need to talk to it. So there they are, talking to it like a human, and I'm expecting it to fail. But instead, when they say "call my sister" it replies with a prompt asking who the sister is. I'm sure Siri is still a large number of special cases, but it's large enough that thinking of it that was failed me.

Similarly, I noticed one day that people asking google questions were getting better results than me sometimes even when they weren't looking for other people asking/answering the same question. So I've started asking google questions more often, but again, it required me to observe a less technical person doing so.

Wow, this could not be further from the truth. Angular is much more similar to Rails than Drupal. Like Rails, it magically takes care of some of the more routine and annoying parts of front-end development like DOM manipulation and testing, but beyond that you're just writing javascript without having to worry about making sure your views are being updated. To extend the analogy I would compare Backbone to Sinatra. It's much smaller, allows the developer to make more choices, but takes care of less details.

So if you prefer Sinatra over Rails, you'll probably prefer Backbone over Angular or Ember. If you like all the magic Rails has to offer, you're probably going to feel right at home with Angular. But comparing Angular to Drupal is ridiculous.
yep , it works , i tried :"how tall is the eiffet tower?" gave me the result ( ~=324 meters).

"What is PI?" shows me a calculator with the result.
The thing is that if you've ever built anything significant in JS, you're going to have a couple war stories and 'easy' is the last thing that you'd call the stuff.
Angular is yet another programming technology made by people who think that this:

<span ng-switch="foo">
<span ng-switch-when="bar">...</span>
<span ng-switch-default>...</span>
</span>

Is in some way easier or better than this:

if(foo == bar) { ... } else { ... }

It also has this weird retro stuff like dynamic scopes and reactive programming. It's also really slow, because it implements reactive programming with dirty checking.

Still not sure what problem it's trying to solve.

Apple’s German patent suit shut down by a 2007 video of Steve Jobs
Hey there - OP here. Sorry you feel this way.

I spend several hours a week talking to our customers and interviewing the people who run mobile for large retailers, as well as mobile startup founders. The opinion I stated is definitely mine, and it's a logical conclusion based on the data gleaned from my interviews and informal/off the record conversations with people whose business it is to sell real products (hotel rooms, shoes, shirts) every single day via mobile apps.

People simply don't transact on Android - thats not an opinion. That's data. Happy to discuss more/share more off the record if it suits you, and if you know someone who is successfully selling products to Android customers, I'd love to talk to them because they know a secret that literally every ecommerce company in America is DYING to know.

As to the dozens of links to Hipmob - that's where we publish our interviews and it's the original source of our content. Believe me, if we could publish elsewhere, we would, but its the sort of content that only customers/potential customers of ours find interesting, and as such we make it available to them on our blog.

Hope that helps explain things.

I pondered this, but I don't think it's that simple. Economic demographics are a part of the story, but I think the underlying architecture of each really is a lot of the difference. By the time you activate your iPhone for the first time, you've already given your credit card to Apple. Most users of Google products, by contrast, do not ever give Google their payment information.

Angular makes front-end development much more like native development because it gives you true MVC. Meaning, the views are automatically updated based on the current value of the models. In an Angular controller, you really don't care or even know about the view other than the fact that you're sharing scope with it. The controller just makes sure the models are in the correct state and the view handles the rest automatically, perfectly decoupled.

In my experience, this is much closer to how native development works. In an iOS app, you have your view controllers which are responsible for responding to user input and making sure the models are in the right state. The views just automatically update themselves based on those models, much like Angular. So if you're writing your Angular apps correctly, they should be very similar to your native apps.
Seems like it's fixed now

Apparently, the main issue with eye strain from close monitors and such is the fact that your eyes have to focus closer. But the oculus has two screens and optics, which they use to let your eyes focus at infinite distance. Hence, eye strain is not an issue.

You'll get sick in the stomach long before any effect on your eyes in any case - having it on for hours on end is extremely unrealistic right now.

I was awake during colonoscopy, too, no issues. I also was awake during screening of the stomach, where you have to swallow the stomach probe (or whatever it is). Not sure I would opt for that again.
If you mention that you lost your hearing through an infection, that somewhat weakens the case for the damage done by headphones. I have a similar experience with my eyes. Staring on a monitor didn't degrade my vision, but one year with contacts and an infection nearly could have wiped out the ability for one of my eyes to focus, and it is still more light sensitive, since the scarred tissue scatters light everywhere.
I take it you haven't worked with angular that much. You can put as much code in your controllers as you like if you don't like decorating your views like in your example.
Google unveils Hummingbird algorithm, search, iOS, Android updates
Great timing! I was looking for a bookmark service last week.

I love the UI here, but the service does not provide much functionality.

1. How do I re-order the list?
2. How do I re-name the bookmark?
3. Does Saved.IO provide any list functionality or do I browse down a long list of 300 bookmarks?
4. This service needs 'tags' (i.e. shopping, banking, school, etc.)
5. The delete button is too close to the bookmark (especially considering it lacks a 'Are You Sure?' prompt). I've accidentally deleted three links already on mobile.
6. The 'added [x length of time] ago' provides no function and adds clutter.
7. I've already have a few issues with it saving numerous bookmarks for a single page.

I want to love this service. Convince me! :)
I could name at least 5 projects that Google is working now that is a long-term bet and doesn't care about quarterly earnings.

All these "projects" are tolerated because Google is increasing earnings by double++ digits each quarter, albeit by destroying every bit of their credibility. The minute the over-monetization growth stops, Larry Page will see Google's stock drop by $200+ a share and he'll face a mutiny within Google and the press will call Google a has been.
