And according to companies like HP , they are officially a competitor. At least for them. On paper. They have yet to make any real world moves to proof they actually compete in the hardware sector. A 800 million dollar write off with the first device does not really count.
It showed up in the software updates section of App Store for me, just like any other update.
Of course, easier said than done - the interface has to support this of course, but how I see it: The older things get, the more words get tagged to the point in time. You start off thinking 'work I did yesterday' which eventually becomes "The 2013 Project", which you can also see as a data fact associated with the active Temporal view.
I'm not so jaded as to think that deep language understanding isn't a useful or good thing, and I'd like to think I have some myself. However, deep language understanding is not what separates the great engineers from the good ones.

In an interview, I would much rather hear a person say something about a statically declared variable with no initialization being poor code to leave behind for the next person than some arcana about the standard.

The command line tools also make sure to install a whole range of standard headers that are not included with Xcode so that you can build curses based apps and all that fun stuff!

> it is unfortunate that pg is unwilling to admit that this is a problem

I think pg thinks there is a problem, and is almost surely willing to admit it.

I think he just doesn't see a way of solving it that doesn't involve the discussions here on HN becoming flamewars... Which is also a serious problem...

This looks to me very much like a doctor prescribing a drug with unfortunate side effects. You still do it, but you're also keeping an eye out for new drugs that don't cause as many headaches.

I think that it's just another herd behavior your see on the internet. When faced with a choice, for vs against, someone would typically choose the crowd. The herd is usually wrong as you'll see many times in the stock market throughout history. All in all it's ugly to see, people jumping on the bandwagon for the hell of it, for the same reasons people join riots, for the hell of it while there may be legitimate reasons too.
"strictly speaking" is right. It's invalid but all major browsers will handle the code just fine. Browsers are pretty damn forgiving.

It's also an easy mistake to make. All someone has to do is create an element with an ID in a child template without checking to see if that ID is already used in a parent template.
I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I hate Microsoft because they're crooks. They made their money not by creating a better product at a competitive price, but by breaking the law. And then they used the position of power and influence that they had attained by breaking the law not to make the world a better place, but to crush competition and inhibit innovation.

Many of us lived through the 90s, when Microsoft strongarmed their technically inferior products to the whole PC industry. In fact, they pretty much invented the whole closed-source proprietary software model, and I totally agree with Stallman that it is a horrible invention. And they were rewarded for it handsomely. Then the numerous FUD attacks against many things I like, such as Linux and the open-source community in general.

At least for me, all this has created strong dislike towards that company. It's nothing that cannot be fixed, but not quickly, and I really don't see them trying a lot yet.

Fortunately, the situation these days is much better than in the 90s since now there are real alternatives. What was once hatred is now just suspicion.
*because
That's not what the word "fiat" means. A fiat is a decree. An order given by an authority. In currency terms, this usually means a decree given by a government that a certain currency will be used.

It makes no sense to say "Bitcoin is fiat" and then to say it doesn't have any government or strong player behind it. It's one or the other.
I agree there is no problem using numbers within a category (though it's still ugly) but across categories I think it's madness.

Even washing machine manufacturers tend to have some letter prefix to their product codes to distinguish between a washing machine and a toaster.
How does the go build command work?
Are you looking for a SAAS solution to spin out quick? You'd need to roll it out to see if it did keep people around and then need to keep watching your numbers as the community grew. Eventually as you get a large user base you get issues with how many people are in one "chat", moderation of offensive content, how the experience itself scales, etc. which is why larger sites may not do it (or they never found value in it)

If you're doing the startup thing though, just roll it out and see if it helps you get to a better place and keep evaluating if it's core and worth it to maintain. GoInstant has turned into Platform as a service which could maybe handle the real time component.

Arguably if people have such strong understanding of things they will be better programmers too. I would prefer the person who knew what they were doing, because they also know _why_ weird things are weird, and have a better real understanding of what to do and not do.

A person who just knows it's "bad code"--but not why--is almost certainly going to leave other bad code from lack of understanding. To pull an example from the slides, the virtual destructor: making that class virtual when it shouldn't is a waste of CPU cycles _and_ bad documentation for future developers.
Whenever i hear somebody talking MS down for not going with "standards" i have to look at the keyboard layout of my mac and start to laugh.

Seriously, this is my biggest pain when changing between OSes.
I have to work with their system every day at work. I don't have a choice.

I'd really like to go out of Microsoft's way, but they don't let me. I'd like to look for any workplace and be asked the first day: "which OS / software stack I prefer?" or give me a blank box to set up. But I usually just get a Windows box which I'd choose last (somewhere behind pen and paper).

They do patent extortion (they make more money of Android than Windows Phone).

They don't contribute much back to the world at large. I don't mind proprietary software, but I insist on open interfaces that let software play together. They don't do that. They don't publish essential specifications, don't contribute code to the community much and if you reserve engineer their protocols to provide compatible services, they sue you and extort royalties. And then there are things like OOXML that they forced through ISO.

Companies working together with Microsoft are regularly burned.

They have been repeatedly used very dirty tactics to corner the market and got fined for it.

I don't particularly fancy their software (I'm much more comfortable with Linux systems). Automation of Windows software is horrible and they suffer a bad form of NIH.

This rubs me the wrong way.

Make them an optional thing in my life that I can avoid and I stop having hard feelings for them.
The iPad to enrich people's live...

Sorry, but the iPad/tablets are mostly used for browsing, creating photos and using apps and games.

That's not really "enriching" life as i see it, it's a consumer device, not a production device... If you really want to make it enriching, make it non-obtrusive.

And i would feel sorry for those whose life really is enriched with a electronic device.
> In fact, they pretty much invented the whole closed-source proprietary software model

Wow...are you sure you know your history?

Software is much older than the 1990s. Before there was Microsoft, there was IBM (Apple and MS started at the same time, roughly). Before that, there were no PC clones, only sanctioned hardware running sanctioned software, all with big fat IBM support contracts. Even Apple practiced this, very closed-source proprietary; Microsoft was actually the "open" alternative back then (Stallman was probably playing around with PDPs, very much proprietary uncloneable hardware systems that came with an open Unix).

Then Microsoft comes along and disrupted the entire industry. How? By shipping an operating system for commodity hardware that could easily and cheaply be cloned (IBM's accidental doing as they needed to ship the PC quickly). This happened in the early 80s, which occurred before the 90s.

> Fortunately, the situation these days is much better than in the 90s since now there are real alternatives. What was once hatred is now just suspicion.

Fortunately, the situation these days is much better than in the 90s since now there are real alternatives (DELL, Compaq, Gateway). What was once hatred (against IBM) is now just sympathy.
Googling is the most important skill a developer must have.
Probably also a bit of Nokia hate. They basically axed everything interesting they worked on, missed every innovation (totally not related to Elop) and got bought for really cheap by MS (totally not related to Elop).
Still as thick on top and bottom. It's just the sides that are thinner. I guess it depends how you hold it most of the time. Personally, I mostly hold it in landscape view, so I will have the thick bezel most of the time. There are just a few apps that make use of the portrait view and of course there are the eBooks I read, but that doesn't happen to often.
Because you can save a quarter cent per unit by changing microcontroller vendors, but you have to use a new programming language for the new one?

Because you are involved in a lawsuit with the contractor that produced your previous version and using it would possibly be an admission it met requirements, even if your in-house developers had to completely rewrite it to make it safe?

Because new safety regulations mean you have to use a FIPS approved compiler and testing procedure?

Because it's a niche product and the only people in the world who know the problem domain work for you?

The problem is not that MS is forcing choices on their desktop users. Apple, Google, Yahoo, and everyone else does that. The problem is that MS is forcing terrible choices on their desktop users.

They had one job. One job. Don't screw up Windows. And what'd they do? They screwed up Windows.

Metro was a mistake. And again, everybody else makes mistakes, too. But then they went full retard, and refused to backtrack. That part is the reason for the "hate."

I actually enjoy this Microsoft bashing. It's like seeing a former school bully, who is now living of benefits and drinking cheap beer. Microsoft totally deserves it after decades of aggression towards FOSS, unfair competition and monopolising PC business. Of course, there are also really good stuff coming from Microsoft, but that's nothing compared to the harm done.
It is interesting looking at the 'deep' issues of programming languages. This kind of ties in with the "Don't ask me maths questions..." post a few days ago.

There really is a lot more to programming than just algorithms, UI design or syntax.
> If this guy is such a rockstar at cleaning up the mess other people leave behind, why is he not leading these projects from the beginning? Or, since he is only one person, training and mentoring a staff of people who can manage the various projects in a similar fashion?

My guess is that there's a lot more money in his line of work than the other.
PlaceIt
Sure. The intent of that statement was kinda muddled. I was more referring to the fact that my "main body" of open source code, to which my contributions stopped 4 years ago is all on a non-GH site, so it's interesting to look at what is on GH, which represents what I've done out in the open since then, which is... not much.

My assumption (which maybe is wrong) is that 5 years of OSS contributions that ended 4 years ago may not be all that impressive. Why did I abandon it? etc.

This isn't about me. I already use a different VPN. I don't use Hangouts or Google+. Those rare Google services I do use, I use sparingly.

My point was the average Internet Joe or Jane needs to look beyond "free" services and be willing to spend some money buying better alternatives. One of the reasons we're all so compromised on the Internet today is our collective blindness towards the hidden "costs" of free services.
Well, sure, that's the problem, but breaking it down into separate steps that need to be solved should be part of the solution.

I own too much stuff. I would love for there to be a solution more effective and less wasteful than simply throwing it out. I appreciate this post because it's suggesting at least part of a solution...

...although I don't think it would work for me because it requires even more stuff. A working printer (which will inevitably turn into a non-working printer). Label paper. Packing tape. Many boxes of appropriate sizes.

I assume this guy already ships stuff from his house for other reasons, or else all that stuff would be clutter too.

Sure, there are always compromises. I wasn't claiming otherwise. I was merely pointing out that ramping up on a particular platform is nowhere near as easy as the parent suggests.

Games are a bit of a special breed, though, and there are several game engines out there that hide the platform pretty well. I draw a bit of a distinction between "building and iOS app" and "building an OpenGL app that runs on iOS". The latter is much easier if you lack iOS experience but have the required OpenGL skills.

However, I'd be concerned that the person with strong understanding of things will simply leave uninitialized static variables lying around in the code simply because they _knew_ it was always initialized to 0. It might work if your entire coding team has that innate understanding, but that is unlikely.

Sometimes I think that having deep and expert understanding of a language may cause you to create code that other team members cannot understand... not on purpose, but due to your assumption that these are common knowledge (whether they should be or not isn't the issue.)
