I'm hardly a very experienced programmer, but almost all uses of lists I see on Python codebases involve appending, iterating and reading/setting specific values; I couldn't tell you the last time I saw an insert to the head/middle of a list.

Apple have never mentioned the amount of RAM in any iOS device.

No, I do not. I have no reason to distrust him but equally no reason to unthinkingly trust. I listen to his opinions and take them into account.
> Where is the the text input? Apple are driving by creatives. When can I write my book on my Apple tablet?

Er, attach a keyboard to it? What were you expecting, mind-reading?
It buys you the speed of C (or close), with nice abstractions. And when you use destructors correctly, it can provide pretty much automatic memory management too, much safer than C.

And it's pretty simple to avoid all these warts, just... you know don't write them. On the other hand I don't have any experience with old C++ codebases, which is where you're likely to find this hellish stuff.

Ah, I see. "Revolutionary" is a code-word for "gimmick which will not work properly, but will look good in the marketing". As in "Siri is revolutionary".
but its not good to upgrade right now because this is not 100% bugs free

Same as kstrauser: Microsoft products are great, but they're more expensive to scale.

I've been working with Microsoft products for close to a decade, and I think their software stack is great.

However, for my current side project, I went with another platform (Groovy+Grails, running on the JVM), purely because of cost (and also because I wanted to learn it :) ).

You can choose to be part of the BizSpark program and get all Microsoft software for free for 3 years, but you have to pay afterwards.

Prices for Microsoft software hosting is usually 2 or 3 times what it costs for a mostly equivalent software.

For example, something I'm using now (Amazon AWS), the price of a small Linux instance is $0,060/hr, while the equivalent Microsoft instance is $0,091/hr

Azure pricing is too expensive for me, I discarded it.

If I had money (maybe angel or VC backing), I might have considered it, but it's a bootstrapped side project.
Let me google that for you, I'll be back with the answer in just a minute.
They haven't announced a Mac Mini refresh in years. It'll slip out quietly at some point.
This is similar to my asyncscript pet project[1] (that was met with much resistance on the Node.js mailing list as it was Yet Another CPS Framework). It drew inspiration from the way that C# creates the state machines for "yield" and "await". The project is dead (it only dealt with async calls and I never got round to "enumeration generators"), but if you are wondering how regenerator works I have a nice explanation at the bottom of readme.md.

Yeah, it might be pressure sensitive, but I doubt it's anywhere as close to accurate as active digitizer pens. It looks like a capacitive pen with a thick rubber tip, so I doubt it's much more useful than a $20 capacitive stylus.
jQuery is a brilliant tool for manipulating the DOM and for managing AJAX calls etc. etc.

However you can't truly master jQuery without also developing a thorough understanding on JavaScript. The alternative would be to construct a hodge podge of jQuery plugins and widgets to get things done - and then running into all the limitations, conflicts and outright bugs they will bring with them. [I have borrowed from such sources but have always needed to modify the code]. Much better to be able to write clear straightforward code of your own in JS - taking advantage of jQuery when it is an advantage of course.

Apart from anything else JS is a delight and learning how to use it will develop your programming skills.
I find people that "like" companies quite amusing.

I think Microsoft has potential, but currently there is a reason I don't use any of their products nor plan to personally. Doesn't mean they don't have their place, like any product.

Also, an argument could easily be made that OP's post, which I found really interesting, is just another way of saying "Microsoft sucks", as it is merely anecdotes without sources again.

Regardless, I merely posted my opinion, like many others here. Sorry that it doesn't conform to your ideal.
tl;dr Silverlight devs don't have homes.
If you have a look at my original comment, I suggested that: "Have they just stopped using the A7X style name?"
:-) I'll look into it. I think I stayed away from it to avoid using Ubuntu's version of Ruby.
Is this satire? Looking at the site the message I get is "Here are 12 women who will be bought, to some degree, for a price. Make a bid and see how much you get."
> * SoC: A5X was 165mm^2. A6X was 123mm^2. A7 is only 102mm^2 with a 64-bit memory interface instead of 128-bit.

This was pretty inevitable; the A5X was _absurdly_ large for a mobile SoC, and they only did it because they had to. Even the A7 is on the hefty side; it's about the biggest of its process node.
I always had trouble with their hardware. Random crashes and they needed two repairs until they changed it. Mavericks seems to be very buggy and I have to consolidate my whole dev environment again. Would like to switch to a real Linux (Ubuntu / Debian). I don't want the Retina stuff since for such a high resolution the devices are underpowered.

Huh,
the text I wrote for this post didn't show up. I posted a coupon code in that block to get the book for free.

Not quite to delete the post but to at least not run adsense around it, adsense TOS states that it won't support tools that promote violating Google TOS which would include the download of non CC videos from youtube.

The automated system may have been a bit overzealous in this instance though.
They have actually, I think at least a couple of times with the 3GS and then the 4, when they said they "doubled the memory". But not sure if they said exactly how much that was, but everyone knew how much they had before anyway, so it was easy to guess.
Eet iz formidable!
It's not bad. jQuery is a JavaScript library and you'll learn JS as you go. It's only bad if you fall into the stereotype of not caring and just copy/pasting jQuery snippets from Stack Overflow.
libuv is like libev and libevent, but with an async API instead of a level-triggered readiness notification API. It was specifically written for Node.js because libev didn't work for them anymore at some point (e.g. limited usefulness on Windows).
The Mac keyboard layout is older than the Windows keyboard layout, so yes, that is an example of Microsoft choosing to create its own standard.

Let's not pretend real life is that much different. You can imagine scoring a date with a very popular girl just by some funny joke at the coffee machine all you want, but inviting her to a show or taking her out for dinner will be much more successful.
Things may have changed, but you should take a look at Datacenter licensing. Last time I researched this (2 years ago), a Datacenter license covered an unlimited number of guests on that host.

That said, I think most businesses where this really matters have an Enterprise Agreement with a yearly true-up. We're mid sized (<1000) and we have one. No idea what we actually pay, but having an EA and a working KMS infrastructure at least treats the symptoms.

I guess the OS licensing is really one of the bigger annoyances though. All these guys waxing poetic about how great Visual Studio and C# and MVC.NET and whatever are, might not be singing the same tune if those products weren't being subsidized by the other components they rarely have to think about.
It really depends. I would say it is bad if you want to claim mastery of JS.

However, I all the time need to get things done using tools like jQuery, underscore.js, async etc ... These libraries make my work so much easier and I don't necessarily understand the internals of their working.

Things seem to working fine so far and my knowledge of the fundamentals keeps on improving as I work. That works just fine for what I am trying to accomplish.
Heroku is going to loose Solaris and a couple of other secondary target OSes if they go down that route. Golang can cross-compile to Linux, Darwin, Windows and a couple of BSDs.

EDIT: It really seems that they are going down that route. They are also working on a Go implementation of Foreman here: https://github.com/ddollar/forego

And I feel sorry for those people as I made sure to live within a 7 minute drive of work. I save thousands of dollars every year this way, as well as don't get nearly as much stress and have a lot more free time.
I trust the real Bruce Schneier, not his NSA clone!
Good luck with this approach. I am not saying you should throw away this - awesome technology btw - but rather impractical in many ways. You will find very little use-cases where you can apply this with direct benefit. In most cases this wont change a thing - only perhaps on highly specialised software.

So far, I haven't seen the good reasons why I might be untrustworthy. I'd help, but that seems unfair.

The better question to ask would be "Why might I be trustworthy" which he could then try to answer. Not that I don't think Schneier is untrustworthy..

Online dating is certainly a lot less superficial than picking people up in a bar.

I've read somewhere that a significant fraction of modern relationships (a third?) start online. And they tend to be relatively stable. There's clearly something to be said for discussion interests before looking at the picture.
I said they made good opposites. I suspect you misread.

This is not a bad article. The reporter manages to cover a complex subject in an easy-to-understand way. I liked it.

I will point out, however, that there's a huge assumption lurking in there that wasn't explicitly stated: somebody on the government side has to know what they want and be willing to take the heat if they get it wrong. _This_ is the reason so many agencies prefer waterfall -- there's enough obfuscation and paperwork involved that when somebody complains, and in high-risk projects there'll always be complainers, nobody is really at fault. The coder guys can point back to the designer guys. The designer guys can point back to the requirements guys. You'd think that the requirements guys, the guys at the front of the waterfall, would catch all the blame, and they do. But they just write bug tickets because some aspect of the process wasn't followed well enough.

You can spend hours or days trying to figure out what went wrong and not know anything more than you did before you started. Which is exactly why the system has evolved the way it has.

I hear a lot more government projects are going to be Agile. Here's wishing them luck. If done correctly, Agile will 'debug' the organizational problems that lead to this bad performance over and over again. If they just sprinkle a little Agile nomenclature on top of things, it won't do anything at all.
My pet theory is that to meet great people (dates or not), you need to apply an "antifragile" approach. Basically, lower the cost of an interaction (which is meeting face to face not messaging for days) and meet many.

From this perspective, dating websites (and this one especially) are just horrendous. They have a very high price for each interaction: women waste time reading many messages, men waste time sending many messages.

I am betting that a couple of days talking to random strangers on the street gives you more results than months spent on these sites.
glad it wasn't just me.
This is something I despise about our culture. I see this everywhere and not just with imho. People tack on qualifiers all over the place in order to give a hint to the reader that they are expressing an opinion. I wish people would just give each other a break and that people would not be so insecure about appearing to be wrong in an argument.

People make baseless assertions and throw around absolutes all the time. It's not the end of the world when an absolute is inaccurately applied to a relative quantity or quality!
I have had this problem once before, I was trying to buy a jewelry box for my girlfriend and the picture was way different from the actual item. I think this is mostly because Amazon is willing to put up anything any supplier wants to produce and those suppliers don't know what they are doing. In this situation at least it was easy enough to flag the images as wrong for that item and they were replaced with correct pictures in a few days.

Picking a department is always annoying especially when there are two or more it could easily be in, but overall I like the search options. For example I have wide feed so I always need 4E shoes and Amazon can filter out all of the shoes which don't have 4Es.

The unjustified MS hate is a remnant of the justified MS hate of the past, when they used shady business practices to force DOS and Windows down the world's throat.

Nowadays they're fairly tame, however. It's time to treat them as any other tech company.
In the version of the paper linked earlier in the forum, I take the following to mean two passes: build a model and then use lessons learned to build the final product. But it's a matter of interpretation and semantics. My own interpretation is contradicted further down in my comment by someone from that era (see the Larman paper linked). C'est la vie, I'm sticking with my interpretation. I think we can agree that Royce did not mean our modern "Agile" approach.

"If the computer program in question is being developed for the first time, arrange
matters so that the version finally delivered to the customer for operational deployment is actually the second
version insofar as critical design/operations areas are concerned."

At least 2 methodologies existed before Royce's paper as described in this paper: Waterfall and "iterative and incremental".(http://www.craiglarman.com/wiki/downloads/misc/history-of-it...)

Note that, in the section referencing DoD-Std-2167, the author of the DoD standard does state explicitly that he understood Waterfall to be one-pass. Certainly he implicitly promoted it as such.

I think the problem is that it is not 'hate' like people are hating java. I think it is more that MS has become 'irrelevant' in circles that matter :) i.e. the consultants who go around telling new companies what to develop in.

If you see the pattern of adoption by developers, I see more developers walking around with Macs, and linux boxes and running VMs to test out IE compat than anything else.

So, MS has become another OS to work with than the OS to develop on. imo.

I had been in MS ecosystem for 10+ years before moving to other technologies and it has taught me more about concepts of distributed computing (dos and donts) than anything else. I can apply those to any problems i see today. But, I will likely not not develop another asmx and aspx page.. :(
But they're not forcing you to use Windows 8, do they? In the days of DOS and Win 95, they used every dirty trick in the book to force competitors out of the market. Nowadays they can't do that anymore. A lot of software that was only available on DOS or Windows is now available on Mac and Linux.

And even if you do need Windows, Win7 works fine. I feel forced to switch from XP to 7, but that's not such a terrible move. I'll skip Win8, and maybe there won't even be a Win9.
I work at home. I rarely use coworking space, but if I use, I do not exchange ideas with others in public space. One more aspect: I live in Europe, but fill US patent applications (because I can't afford EU patenting process. In my oppinion EU is not friendly for inventors.), so even if there will be some information leak, still idea will not be introduced in US market.
And for added sexism, the whole page of course strongly implies ugly rich men ("fat chance") buying hot young girls.
No, he is suggesting "innocent until proven guilty", you are suggesting the opposite.

This is a "have you stopped beating your wife" question, what could any person say except "there is no evidence that I am untrustworthy". How do you mathematically verify a person?
There might be more than one such guys - but maybe you think about Rick Falkvinge (http://falkvinge.net/2011/05/29/why-im-putting-all-my-saving...)? I thik he bought around $8 or something and sold at $16 when his money doubled, just got scary about the speed - but probably bought back later.

It's a C library to handle asynchronous IO. The library it replaced, libev, is essentially a wrapper around select which is a unix system call that looks for file descriptors that are ready for reading or writing (for more info you can use the command 'man select' in bash). My understanding is that select can be nondeterministic so there were predictability and performance improvements to be had by replacing it with a better model. The guide also links to this talk by one of the libuv authors which is a great help in understanding why they wrote libuv: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGn60vDSxQ4
Well done and thank you! I've been impressed by your work for a long time. I understand why you picked this business model, but I've wondered a bit how you'll manage potential conflicts of interest between the open source and enterprise versions. You seem to be doing well.
Yeah, I'd love T-Mobile, but pretty much every friend/coworker who uses T-Mobile complains about coverage. It's apparently pretty dismal in my area (North Jersey/Hudson Valley.)
This is something I've never quite grasped. To stream a video is to download it. The difference here simply being the moving of the cached video to more permanent storage, allowing the video to be viewed offline. For a video that is available online at any time, for free, it seems that there can be no distinction between the download and the stream. If Google are trying to preserve their monetisation through ads then there is a clear disconnect between this punishment and those ads. The video content being downloaded is not a direct revenue producer for them, the ad is. This seems to boil down to content consumers being punished for ad evasion, which is completely understandable and innocent practise. If Google think they are missing out on revenue from ad evaders they really need to think about that segment's motivations (read:they don't like ads).

To then punish a site that merely mentions the downloading, and the punishment being an Adsense block is incredibly out of order. Youtube cannot dictate the content of another site. So so evil, their motto is being revealed for the smokescreen it is.
I haven't seen these tricks come into play when solving real problems at ALL. Not saying you should not know the language, but better to have problem-solving skills than rot the standard. The bit about leaving a new line after main tells me she really has memorized the standard.

While impressing women with wealth certainly works, and there are some things you can straight-up buy[1] that will immediately boost your attractiveness, in general trying to win women over with favours (dinners, shows, shopping sprees) works against you. It signals that you're so desperate as to be willing to buy attention.

I'd say everything on that list except for coffee and maybe drinks is a sucker's bet.

about that national development team, IMHO developers don't want to work for the government or on government jobs for a very good reason, hence the good ones are normally in the position to skip such jobs. Quality and management of IT projects is much worse in government projects vs private sector from my limited experience.
