I'm afraid that when bitcoin becomes more mainstream there is going to be serious amounts of fraud and scamming.
I don't think they're losing whilst iOS remains the 'write here first' target for apps.

I'm not a tablet user, but from observation that seems to remain true.
Homebrew seems to be working fine as I just did a brew update without any problems. I was getting virtualenvwrapper errors upon opening a new terminal because that was gone from /Library/Python

I fixed it by doing:

easy_install --upgrade pip

sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper
We have Mac Minis attached to our TVs. And infuriatingly, you can't use OS X as an AirPlay target, only as a source. I'd love to see that change, but don't see any mention of it in Mavericks.
Yup, and also how successive generations of the iPod blew the previous generations out of the water, again and again.
Does everybody in your team know who you’re building stuff for?
I agree with your point about creating different game mechanics. After browsing through both sites and watching the videos, it seems that GamePress is much better in that regard.

Does it work for iPhones as well as iPads?
Apple devices aren't really that overpriced.
Try to get a comparable device (power, weight, battery life, slimness) for the same price and it's harder then you think.
If you can find me a good alternative for a 11" macbook air for less then an macbook air I'd be delighted to hear what it is because I've been dying for a good ultralight laptop that can run ubuntu without dealing with efi/uefi/bootcamp stuff.
Love the analogy!

The worst is when you finished the last 20% and get out of traffic only to discover you drove to the wrong city ;)

My school is awesome!
I've been running the betas and using homebrew since they were released. No problems after the first few months. You need the new XCode/dev tools for it to work, which are in the app store.
So this is targeted at some app that ONLY needs autocomplete? Obviously if you have an app with any kind of backend, you're already doing all the other stuff. I think it's cool, just not sure I see the use case.
I'm hoping to do a more in-depth writeup about this soon, but the basic approach is to hoist all declarations up into the closure of an inner function, so that all variables in the scope of the function persist between .next calls, and then convert any control structures that contain yields to a big switch statement, where the cases are essentially jump targets, controlled by the $ctx.next property.
My 5 year old really loves playing Kodable. Congrats on creating a educational game.
I found that to be one of the more interesting metrics shown - but have to agree with everyone else as to how that is calculated. That said, anecdotally, it seems to jive up with experience, but who knows.
You should know what to expect from an Ars review by now. It's 25 pages long for a reason.
Extreme ironing
Too many companies are taking "do first, ask for permission later" to an extreme. (E.g. both Google and Facebook's privacy/sharing experiments.) And they're getting away with it. And to compete, others feel they have to do the same.
Seems like a lot of effort, that. What do you get for it?
Do loans like that really defeat capital controls? The "owner" of the money has changed, but the location hasn't. The bank giving you the loan is playing a very long game, because they still can't move the collateral out. Right, wrong?
Apple and Microsoft are in almost entirely disjoint businesses, anyway. I doubt that there's much useful analogizing to be done about their current respective situations.

What is the Sweden price on the new iPads?
Let's not forget that Google doesn't release sales numbers for it's Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 tablets. While I'm sure they are nowhere near the Apple's numbers, I don't think they're trivial and almost certainly rival Samsung's numbers.
As someone who is using Snow Leopard (10.6) on some older macs. The path to upgrading seems to be through apple support or buying a snow leopard disc.
(as the app store offers me mountain lion upgrades on machines that don't support it).
Sooner or later, everything old is new again.
a) Never claimed they did, b1) that's debatable b2) my comment tried to say that maybe it shouldn't be upvoted c) each to their own
Making the code open source isn't going to solve all those problems - but it would make things more transparent. People both inside and outside the government would be able to see what they got for the money spent, and if things are being done in stupid ways it'd be a issue earlier.
Yeah, and we learn to finger-paint very early, it being quite intuitive and all... but then we grow up and the overwhelming majority of people learn to use writing implements (and other such tools of numerous sorts). I haven't been able, nor wanted to, turn in finger-painted work since early elementary school. Adults use pens (and other such) to write, as well they should, since doing so increases the efficiency of complex output from mind to page.
My MBP has a 128G SSD system drive as well (+ a big HDD for the data) and I got over 50G free, that's including some pretty big things (=25GB) in the Applications folder. /Library and /System folders come in at about 14GB together, I'd say a fresh Mavericks install should be around 30GB total.
Stallman is a terrible spokesperson for anything, but I'd like to think that "enforce restrictive DRM" and "systematically mistreat their hardest-working employees" are pretty legit points.
> His solution was just to become certified as a procurement officer (apparently it's 72 hours of coursework) and deal with the bids himself. He said these kinds of problems have pretty much disappeared for him since then.

sounds like a loophole one can procure a truck through :)
I always love the use of the word "useless" on this site. "Ok for presentations" means it has an obvious use: presentations. How can that be useless? I'd agree it can be better, but it's obviously not without a use.
Communicating with doctors via email is fairly standard. And it involves typing into an internet-connected browser - typically through a proprietary mail interface, not gmail.

To the non-Hacker News reader, what these patients were asked to do by the startup must have looked very much like the communication they were already accustomed to having with their physician.

(The alternative is to go into the doctor's office for a fee of $40-250 every time you have the simplest question.)
I ran into an issue while installing. It said "An error occurred while installing OS X" and then froze. Afterwards, I got a bouncing question mark. Booting into internet recovery several times, and it couldn't find my HDD.

I finally assumed that it had probably fried my HDD somehow, so I powered off and ordered an SSD online since I was looking to upgrade anyway. I unplugged it from the wall and turned it on and it suddenly found the Mavericks installer again.

It seems to be working now.
My God, it's real.
Installed it on a Mac Mini (3rd gen i7) and after the install it sat on a blank screen (with mouse cursor), but a forced restart and all was perfect and everything is operating brilliantly. Fantastic treat that it is free.

Have you looked at AirServer? http://www.airserver.com
I didnt equate them. See you in 10 years from now, then Ill equate them.

For now, I was just making the observation that you dont need to activley supress millions of people to have a dictatorship - it is the fear that is keeping the milllions down and in line.

Examples are made of a few, and that process has already started with the Manning and Snowden treatments.

Not to mention the many that are left in a black bag in a bathtub by the CIA/MI6.
iPad only. We found that making games on an iPhone is just not fun with our current interface. We currently don't have the resources to come up with a new interface for iPhone.

We do hope to have a player available for iPhone eventually, but right now our main focus is iPad.
Awwww shucks. I was being cheeky and now your response has disarmed my cynicism. I'm naked.
I would think it is going to depend on your cache size. Piecewise will be better if the image can't all fit in the cache, but if the image is small enough you can fit everything in the cache.

Or, do you mean that memory is the bottleneck as in, shipping the image to the GPU's memory space?
Steve Jobs isn't working at Apple anymore. He was great for Apple, but they aren't obligated to agree with every idea that he ever had, and integrate them into their business model.

He has often said that he thought something was stupid. More often than not, at the time he said these things, he was right. He once disliked the entire idea of the tablet, because the technology hadn't matured enough to deliver a positive experience for the customer. Long after he criticized tablets, he introduced the iPad to the world. It doesn't mean he's a hypocrite, it just means that the technology matured enough to change his mind.

Its hard to argue that Wacom technology isn't sufficiently mature, and there is clearly a market for such a thing. Art and note-taking apps are wildly popular. Both would be significantly enhanced by the presence of a true touch-sensitive stylus.

Apple didn't intend for the iPad to be a content creation device, but now they seem to be embracing it as such, because that's what many customers want to do with it.

If a person never changes his mind about anything, that person has stopped learning.
No issues with homebrew. I did have to accept XCode license, as I recently upgraded, but that's unrelated to Mavericks.
My favorite definition of a startup is that of a company that prioritizes growth over all other metrics.
I finished a couple years ago. I'm not really doing anything.

If you look at market share you would think they are, but the market is expanding greatly and will continue to do so. If you look at the number of units sold, they still go up year over year. The same is true for iPhones.
I also just want a good Haswell/Iris laptop, with Apple quality hardware, and the ability to get Linux on it... at a lower price than $1,300 :(

EDIT: Actually the Iris Pro that's in the $999 Galago UltraPro is only available on the $2,000 15" Macbook Pro.

Ugh I wish System76/Clevo would just put a decent backlit keyboard on that computer.
Simple, when you said you where 80% done...you actually weren't (presuming your metric is time).
Maybe Steve Jobs was wrong.

Ship it without a stylus. Require that all apps be usable with fingers. Make a sweet pressure-sensitive stylus available for extra precision. Everyone wins.

You are correct, gdb is phased out in favor of lldb. It's just the end of a very long transitional period, similar to the clang vs. gcc situation. Introduce the successor, support both for several releases, then finally drop the legacy component. You can still install gdb yourself of course.
Do you think it is worth the extra complexity of browser-detecting and loading the original JS if the browser has actual ES6 generator support? Firefox has it now without requiring any flags. Chrome(/Opera)/Node require --harmony or --harmony-generators.
Apple had a busy day: free OS X Mavericks, iPad Air, Mac Pro...
The reviews may be a bit embarrassing, if at all. Yet if you're doing nothing wrong, you've got nothing to hide. Besides, nobody's going to slog through the net to find out information about you.
IHaskell in its current state is the very first step towards that experience. I'm hoping that graphing and numeric support will come in the next few weeks to months. I'm also not sure that the Haskell community really has something as powerful and standard and nice interface-wise as NumPy, and if not, I'd be interested in creating it. (Currently playing around with building a nicer interface on top of hmatrix. REPA is pretty good, but doesn't use LAPACK/ATLAS/etc in the backend.)
Sometimes this is true, but it misses some things.

Sometimes the cost of failure appears low, but is actually massive because the failure mode is not understood. For example a spreadsheet that miscalculates and causes a bad investment decision and a corporate failure.

Software is often chosen because it trades off against weight (in physical systems) or people (more commonly).

Software is fundamentally different because it is not commonly toleranced or the tolerancing of software is not understood. Reliability in physical engineering is understood in terms of the limits to which a component can be pushed. This concept seems not to be applicable to software.
Macbook Air starts at $999.

All I want to do is browse the Internet.

I could buy 3 Chromebooks for the price of that Macbook Air. Or 1 Chromebook and save money.
I think it's possible that the low-end Android tablets (e.g., the $99 generic ones, not the Nexus or high-end Samsungs) a) make up a huge majority of the number of units sold and b) are used in a very different way than the iPad is. For instance, I have plenty of friends who are Apple all the way except for cheap Android tablets that their kids use for Angry Birds or watching video -- and nothing else.

FULL DISCLOSURE: I work for Apple.
I'm always confused turning "mac late 2008" into the indetifier the mac system profiler reports:
eg:
Model Name:	MacBook
Model Identifier:	MacBook7,1
Very cool. I'm glad you went the whole way and transformed everything, including try/catch. I'm assuming it handles exceptions properly in the dynamic context? Take the following code:

try {
foo();
yield i;
}
catch(e) {
console.log(e);
}

If `foo` throws an exception, I handle it, right? I don't see your generator wrapped in an exception handler, but maybe `wrapGenerator` does it.
Thanks for the encouraging comments! I started working on this by looking at IJulia (huge fan of Julia!) and reading the source code and using that to figure out exactly what I should implement.
We also have Mac Minis attached to TVs, but we use http://www.airserver.com/ to turn them into AirPlay targets.
Last I played with FFT convolution it didn't end up being a win for any sane filter size, even compared to brute-force convolution with arbitrary non-separable kernels. Admittedly I was using off-the-shelf tools in Nuke, but I would imagine both their FFT and Convolve nodes are reasonably optimized.

There's an analysis of the 1D case here with some interesting cautions at the end: http://www.engineeringproductivitytools.com/stuff/T0001/PT15...
Wow I totally agree. And it's probably why I don't finish anything, because I am conditioned to expect it to be same work as earlier.

Not just for this, but almost everything.

The Paredo Time Principle?
HDMI is a great feature, to bad there are many anti-features that are required to be there by regulation as a dependency. It would be a real shame if the telecom players lost any power over their customers, if cell phones became a useful replacement for a desktop.

Maybe we can find a way to retain power over users and let them be productive, while capturing their value. it will be a win-win (we win, and win again).
Protip: While old Apple builds of gcc will still work on Mavericks, newer FSF gdb won't load any shared libraries. To fix it, just change DYLD_VERSION_MAX in gdb/solib-darwin.c from 12 to 14.
I follow typed Clojure with big interest, however, there is one thing I didn't read anything about: Speed.

I ask because if my untyped program is wrong, I debug it until it is right and at that point there seems to be no difference anymore between typed and untyped clojure.

TLDR:

- Does it improve speed (in comparison to "type hinted" clojure?)

- Are there other advantages of Typed Clojure other than compile time errors that I am unaware of?
I got back about 14GB of disk space after upgrading.
They hate them because they are a threat to revenue streams. Just like Uber, just like those ridesharing apps like Lyft, just like HomeAway or AirBnB, just like electric vehicles (especially hybrids once they started realizing the financial impact), just like public transportation, just like bicycling in general, just like ridesharing in general......just like eBikes.

Call me cynical; but it is why we won't ever have autonomous personal vehicles in the USA. If you follow autonomous vehicles to their logical conclusion, there would only be a need for a tiny little fraction of vehicles to serve all of society's transportation needs.
Compared to which version? I think every version of OS X installer downloads all files before installation.

Is it the model or the income which matters?

If it's the model, then "startup" means "any business which isn't profitable with its current model".

If it's the income, then "startup" means "any business which isn't profitable with its current model".

At least, that's how it appears to me.
Fun - thanks for sharing. It's already 3:00 - what else is left to do?

Sounds good.

Critique - the quality of sound (of the instrument choices) at 2:00, for example, is so much more powerful than the track from 0:00 through 1:30. FWIW
I haven't done enough C to need it, but it's a relatively common C idiom (not sure about PHP though). It's usually used with a goto jump (label inside if (0)) to clean up after an error. That way during normal execution the label code never executes. (I hope I remember this correctly.)
Compliance is voluntary with the underlying threat that 1. the commission would define and impose a standard if manufacturers didn't voluntarily do so, and 2. the EC could use stronger coercion if the MoU was not respected/complied with.

If it had been such a good and manufacturer-supported idea, they wouldn't have waited the EC's intervention to suddenly and massively abandon proprietary charging ports.
You've really got to just follow the hardware guides to the tee, and I personally recommend using their prebuilt configs. If you go on tonymac or the other hackintosh sites they will have different hardware lists that are more or less guaranteed to work, as all the components will be ones used in mac desktops and have built in support. There is definitely a huge dick around if you try and be adventurous and go off the beaten path, and you will spend hours messing with the loader configs and kexts etc.
Looks like you are right! Didn't expect it to have an up to date version of Ruby.
That's because the MAC address is stored in system ROM on the motherboard, not in the NIC, iirc. The theory was 1) the ports would be used on different network segments, hence no problem and 2) storing the MAC in the motherboard meant you could swap NICs without updating all your DHCP/whatever config files.

Proper anonymization of that kind of detailed data is a hard problem. There are PhDs and Post-docs and Professors working in that field, and it's non-trivial. Just removing PII won't get you very far, as is obvious by the contents of the reviews.

I don't know how concerned PF really is by all of this, but if they did care about patient privacy, then one would think that they should've done this all from the start with privacy in mind -- or, now, that they would start hiring a privacy red team to shake things up.

Unfortunately, given how non-existent privacy laws and norms are here in the states, I would be surprised if much changed.
It has come to that I'm looking forward to John's reviews almost as much as the release itself.

Great reading.
The conflict isn't between "agile and well understood waterfall" it's between "agile and waterfall as understood and implemented in the real world"
Not any more. Needs a bit more work than that.
You'll see the mix of iPad sales tilt back to the iPad Air after the next quarter. iPad Mini will still sell more but that % of sales will drop. The big reason why most people got iPad Mini over iPad was because the iPad was just way too heavy to hold compared to the Mini, that's not an issue anymore.

PyCharm Community Edition does not include all the web features - those available in Professional edition (and other features too). That would be quite strange to have PhpStorm Community Edition without support for web technologies (without PHP too)
Does anyone know if Apple has a general bug report mechanism for the public?

The Mavericks installer was not accepting the password to unlock FileVault in the installer itself after reboot. It turns out that the password prompt is in QWERTY despite the language input icon indicating that it was in Dvorak. That is a profoundly annoying bug.
I've had federal employees tell me with a straight face that waterfall development is the only model that works, and that is why 'all of the tech companies use it'. These people have often gone and gotten certifications for stuff like six sigma and CMMI. They will never change their tune. You basically have to wait for all of them to retire. The average government tech worker is so different from the commercial tech worker that they may as well be a different industry all together.
I think it's more about people wanting to know they're on the winning side.

They purchase an Xbox and then spend the rest of their time convincing PS3 users they made a mistake. Android vs iPhone. Coke vs Pepsi. Mercedes vs BMW. etc etc etc etc.
It doesn't have to be a long game as long as they can unwind their position over a longer time frame and with less frictional costs than the individual, which wouldn't be surprising for a large institution.
Nope, I'm burning a new usb install for Mavericks as we speak lol, have to do a whole new install for a major upgrade like this.
Agreed. After reading this, I finally feel like I'm beginning to grok Typed Clojure. Will probably recommend this article to newcomers to the library, especially if they have a Haskell/ML background. Hoping to take my new understanding and write a simple typed raytracer modeled after Htrace (http://nobugs.org/developer/htrace/) when I've got a spare moment. Or maybe someone could beat me to the punch. :P
CodeHS has been fantastic.

Typed Clojure is currently static analysis only and offers no automatic speed improvements. It has the nice property that code will compile and run no matter what the type checker thinks.

I wonder how this jibes with Apple's much-derided claims that stuff like XCode had to be $5 due to accounting regulations around free upgrades.

Windows 9 might be free for the same reason -- the new features are in apps and services, and the OS is a compatibility layer than needs to keep up.

For example, hypothetically: Office 2014 is expensive, Win 9 is free to provide access to Office 2014 Viewer or whatever.
