Yup that's right, my bad. I were thinking of a way of somehow not requiring input yet providing passwords without plaintext storage.

What would actually work I guess would be storing a hash of <the password, a unique string provided through https auth>. So for the first time the browser would hash the pass and afterwards just provide the pass to the server as a hash without requiring input, acting as a normal pass to the server. However, that would either require some sort of universal agreement among browsers to work, which is tricky to require, or some browser-server protocol in which the browser would only carry such procedure to supported servers. If a supported server is accessed through a non-supported browser, the server itself would perform the hash.

Probably too much of a hassle just in name of abolishing plaintext passwords on browsers, but I couldn't think of anything simpler. However, fun to imagine :)

Obs: This would have the extra bonus of depriving knowledge of plaintext passwords to servers (in case they are compromised, the attacker would not get to try the pass across other services) and preventing password extraction through impersonation of webpages (although this is already guaranteed by https to some extent).
Seven Things You Can Do in KDE (But Not on Other Linux Desktops)
Guarantee I'm not trolling. I simply disagree with your appraisal of the situation. This is the quote I have the most problem with:

"People buy Apple and Adobe products because they want to. People buy Microsoft Office because they have to."

By what possible criteria could you assert this? Each company exists in a free market with multiple competitors - the very ones that you wish people would use instead of the leaders (e.g. OpenOffice or Google Docs). Furthermore, in certain segments (like cloud-based office offerings), people are migrating in droves to Google Docs. They held between 33-50% user share in 2012 according to Gartner.* This is not the behavior of a locked-in market.

Finally, an AT&T-style hardware infrastructure monopoly is not in play here. File formats don't lock you out of word processing any more than iOS apps keep you out of the smartphone business. They just offer a perk. I can't get every cool app on my Android phone. That doesn't mean that Apple is exerting a tax on me. It's just a selling point I have to consider.
I would say even more than that.

C and C++ can make someone loose days to track down issues, in this day and age, where teams are distributed with lots of offshoring and various skill levels across development sites.

My last C++ project was in 2006, since then I have only used C++ outside work. At work our focus has been in JVM and .NET languages.

I don't miss playing the C++ fireman expert role that has to fix a stability problem created by someone in the other side of the planet.

I would say that both take equally little effort to do lazy, and both take equally large effort to do good.

If someone goes around and say that windows version so and so has great battery time, a lazy response is to simply disagree with it. A good response looks for benchmarks and ask why said sources do not support the original commenter's arguments, and if the commenter himself/herself has any sources to support the claim.

The reverse is equally true, in that finding sources takes equally efforts no matter what point of view one try to share.

> Also C and C++ are both permitted to reorder structs, it's just that they don't because that's the easiest way to follow the standard.

Is that feasible? Doing so would require that the order of the member addresses not correspond to their layout in memory.

No, in C struct members must be allocated in the order in which they are declared. C99 §6.2.5 says:

A structure type describes a sequentially allocated
nonempty set of member objects (and, in certain
circumstances, an incomplete array), each of which
has an optionally specified name and possibly
distinct type.

and §6.5.8 says:

If the objects pointed to are members of the same
aggregate object, pointers to structure members
declared later compare greater than pointers to
members declared earlier in the structure,…

It's harder to convince someone to pay you to prevent a problem that hasn't yet occurred. But once it's occurred, it's a crisis, and no amount of money is too much if you can clean it up.

You have a good point. Now that I've slept on this article, I feel a bit more balanced about it. The sticker shock wore off, and I do feel like many of your points are valid now that I'm feeling more rational about the subject.

I feel like I did underestimate the potential costs of this software. How much, I couldn't say, but thinking about it this morning I realized that they probably had to integrate with the systems of (every|many) major existing healthcare provider in the country to actually make this work as desired. I can see now where that wouldn't be cheap.

Is it 500 million expensive? I'm not sure I'm qualified to make that assessment, and now that the initial shock has worn off I'm feeling okay with that. I'd need to see more data - particularly, the balance sheets for the project - before I could say for certain whether the cost was justified. I'd be interested to see that data, but as it stands I'll settle for chilling out about it unless more information comes out along those lines.

C is not allowed to reorder structs. There's a section in the C standard, n1516 page 113 (section 6.7.2.1 paragraph 15)

> Within a structure object, the non-bit-field members and the units in which bit-fields reside have addresses that increase in the order which they are declared.
I work with ruby/rails, node.js/coffeescript, python, scala and some other stuff on a daily basis on my day job. Thanks to MSDN-AA, i had to work with the complete Microsoft-Stack at University the last year, given every single tool for free (including visual studio ultimate). Guess what? It was just a pain. I can't even describe in words how unproductive it feels to work with .NET when you are used to the latest "hipster"-stuff to get things done beautiful in minutes instead of hours/days. Not to mention that all the tools usually cost a few bucks if you have to buy it... i wouldn't. Thanks to the MSDN-AA program, I and most of my fellow students never want to touch Microsoft stuff again.

Microsoft spend huge affords to create nice stuff, but for decades they just don't get it. And i don't get why people working with .NET regulary stop complaining after a while and think that ugly workflows are "ususal".

Stab in the dark, but, I guess it's because it requires the App Store to get it, which, AFAIK, first became available in 10.6.6, meaning, Snow Leopard is the farthest back you go.

If you get someone to DL it for you and burn it to disk/USB drive, you can probably also install it on Macs with older versions, since you'll just boot up in it..

So, it is free for everyone, but, only distributed easily to Snow Leopard and thereafter users.
Depends on the software package you use. FCPX uses OpenCL for real-time playback w/o rendering, including realtime FX, transcoding and accelerating plugin rendering.

Premiere Pro's Mercury Engine does similar things with CUDA accelerating many effects, scaling, deinterlacing, blending, and color-space conversions.

Don't you see how paranoid this kind of comment comes across to anyone that doesn't buy the whole anti MS-conspiracy thing?
I love when people see the potential to use HTML structure as a makeshift DAG. Similarly, once the DOM got fully grokked in the mid-2000s, it was if the web changed overnight. From flat documents to a flexible graph. And to do this without JS? We're talking no actual imperative code here, just dead structure and presentation markup.

This is one of the first CSS animations I've seen that works flawlessly for me, at least on the iPhone. I also noticed the non-unique ID attrs as is noted below, but let's be real. With that amount of CSS to conceive of and write, would you really glance twice at the twenty lines of HTML you're using as a fly-by-night DAG? For a non-commercial passion project? The creator of this was in the ZONE!

The pure insanity makes me grin and long for the pre-teen days where there was time for this. All the ANSI art, the HyperCard stacks, the strange games made using dirt-cheap language implementations. Sigh, but a nice sigh. Also makes me damn grateful for open source and standards.
As mentioned by others, C does not allow reordering of members in structs. However, C++ does!

§9.2.12 says:

Nonstatic data members of a (non-union) class declared without an
intervening access-specifier are allocated so that later members
have higher addresses within a class object. The order of allocation
of nonstatic data members separated by an access-specifier is unspecified (11.1)

This means, that under a strict reading, even the following struct can have its members reordered:

struct foo {
int a;
public:
int b;
}
I'm not sure if I would say that a deeper knowledge of a language would make "better products".

I bet an awful lot of the open web will be built on systems running Mavericks. So there's that to consider too.

Our "trucks" need upgrading too. Making attractive trucks that have all of the powers of creation you want (and a shameful caveat, without perfect secrecy) seems like a boon to the open web to me.
This article seems to make the assumption that a web browser and the open web are the same thing.

Personally, I've always wished more sites would just publish raw data without markup and allow me to determine how I read it, to me that's more open.

Really, if there's a sudden up-shot of apps on OS X for displaying 'web' content, it could go either way - lock-in or a more data-centric, less markup driven web. I'd welcome the latter, guess we'll have to wait and see.

More importantly it exposes the patent hypocrisy of the apple marketing strategy:

> "Rather than use Flash, Apple has adopted HTML5, CSS and JavaScript – all open standards." [1]

They killed flash not just because of the technical issues but because it was a rival to their all encompassing applications platform. So is the web, but they know the web delivery mechanisms embodied by html5/css/js are not quite there yet and now is the time to make a land grab for the areas it will occupy in the next few years.

They don't want people accessing their Map infrastructure on non apple devices. They have made a trade off that Google took the opposite view on. Google decided to make money from the users making use of their maps and by careful monetisation of that data. Apple have decided to make money from the devices because that is what they have been doing to date... and attempting to make the devices compelling enough to grow an expensive application marketplace. The opposite to what is happening on Linux and Windows up to 7. Microsoft will presumably try the same approach with Windows 8. (In fact to me the windows 8 platform spread is if anything the same as Apple's errant approach)

So Apple is against the open web because they built a Maps app instead of a maps website?? Maybe they did it like this because most stuff Apple does on the web sucks? They have more expertise in building native software. And maybe, just maybe, their customers prefer it.

What if I need top performance? The only real alternatives are JavaFX or moving off the browser completely (native app). Despite many man-years put into optimisation, JavaScript is still nowhere near in performance. Yeah, I know in some lucky microbenchmarks from Google or Mozilla it can be only 2-4x slower than Java and it is pretty impressive but why do many real JavaScript games/programs struggle on modern hardware as if it was an old Pentium II (see: bombermine [1], quake JS demo [2], circuitlab [3]) or Java applet in year 1998? The only thing that make them look acceptable is that hardware is extremely fast these days.
