It's probably worth mentioning that all the delete functions he points out(all of them for that matter, ctrl-k, etc) are actually cut's, so you can paste them back as well.
I find Ctrl-u especially useful when I'm halfway through with a command, then I realize I wanted to do something else before executing said command, so I cut it- then paste it back when I need it.

What’s going on with iPhone touch performance? [pdf]
I've used the Air as a full-time development machine in the past. It can be great if it fits how you write code. I write code in emacs or vim, so I would run that in a fullscreen terminal window under tmux, which allowed me to quickly switch between my editor and various zsh prompts.

I'd also have Chrome open in another fullscreen window, and use the four finger swipe gesture to navigate between the two.

For other apps I'd use hotkey combinations and Alfred to do as much navigation as possible to minimize using the cursor.

The biggest downside of the setup was when I needed to use a web page or video for reference while coding, which I basically couldn't do. I know a lot of coders like to have two monitors up so they can have a browser visible at the same time they are working in their editor, and none of them could understand how I could use the 11 for my main machine.

The resolution was a bit constrained for working in an IDE with a lot of information in frames, so it isn't idea, at least for me, of using IntelliJ or similar programs.

And that beings said, what really ended up killing it for me, is that the screen resolution is fairly high for the display size, or at least I thought so. Basically, type wound up being just a little smaller than I was comfortable with, and making it larger did leave me with too little space on the screen.
The Mac Pro still won't be out for two more months. They could launch a 4K display then. Nobody is going to buy a 4K monitor today for the Mac Pro they're getting in January.
Do you honestly believe that most users who will install this will fully understand the ramifications of that choice? if yes, why do you think that, in spite of all the evidence that most users are clueless about security? If no, then in what sense are they really giving consent, if that consent is not informed?

Perhaps the metric being optimised isn't conversion to home page landings. Perhaps there is something deeper in their funnel which benefits from the visual experience starting one click earlier.

Just to be accurate, iWork is not free. It's free with the purchase of a new computer. I can't get it for free on my current laptop. So it's built into the cost of computers, which is nice, but different than free.
IANAD, but AFAIK, HIV tests check for antibodies: Your body's response to HIV. So how do they check that the virus is gone? AFAIK, the antibodies would remain in your system even if you killed the virus. I guess if the child didn't produce her own antibodies, then they'd be flushed out of her system eventually.

Are they looking at a lack of anti bodies to determine a lack of virus? Or, do they have a special test where they actually look for the virus? If the latter, why don't they use this test to determine if someone has HIV for everybody? I recall reading it takes up to 6 months for the antibodies to show up in your blood stream. If you could just look for the virus itself, wouldn't you know sooner?

"We know Microsoft’s tablets suck"

This irritates the hell out of me. Who is this "we"? Fine if Marco wants to suggest that they suck, but I'll take a shot in the dark and say he hasn't even tried to give one a fair shake...would love to hear from him if he actually has.

I have never found a use for a tablet, but I have several around my house including iPad Mini, iPad 3, Nexus 7 (1st gen), and now a Surface. The Surface is the best of those devices and the only one I can see myself continuing to use going forward.

I would challenge anyone to just open their minds if they haven't tried one and jump in completely for a week or so then make up your mind. Definitely not saying the device is perfect, there are some things (both hardware and software) I'd like to see added but it's a damn nice device!
This is a point that I think technical people miss: the law does not execute like code. Humans are in the loop, and are allowed to apply their own judgement.
Amazon has a killer offering for this problem in the form of SWF. It's fairly under the radar as they have done a terrible job marketing it, but it's great.
Nice boost in their search revenue, if your wondering why Google's CPCs are going down, that is why. Microsoft has gotten serious about exploiting their search engine tech and that is having an effect [1]. Unlike 'recuter' I don't think this is their "Blackberry Moment" :-)

Google is smearing the smartphone market, at the expense of Apple's cash engine, Microsoft is smearing the Search market at the expense of Google's cash engine and Linux is smearing the operating system market at the expense of Microsoft's cash engine. Seems like there is a lot of pressure to diversify.

The reasoning in this article is so obviously specious, it's almost embarrassing to read:

The Mac Pro is insanely expensive on the face of it for what it is.
But will it? The value of enterprise solutions are often times validated by consistency: it's nice to have a megalithic company with a proven track record of hitting their SLA. Personally, I don't use Microsoft (or Apple for that matter) products at all. However, I would be hard pressed to come up with alternative company which provides practically all the necessities for the technological infrastructure of a company. Google is certainly trying but hasn't quite gotten there yet. There's something very comforting knowing that a product purchased to day will be supported the full length of its contract.
First I'll say that I am nowhere near an expert on working with workflow engines. If you wouldn't mind, I'd love to chat with you about your experiences with them.

The main difference is it's an extended state machine, not just a workflow engine.

It's similar in functionality in a few ways, but quite different from a WE in many more ways. A workflow engine has a subset of a state machine's functionality, hid behind a layer of abstraction that complicates things.

These networked extended state machines can be composed and nested, and as such, I think they avoid a lot of the complexities of a WE. I'll be going into more details on all of this in subsequent posts + a video, hopefully soon.
I know everyone here wants to believe that but their percentage of penetration in enterprises continues to rise and the breadth of their offerings as well.

They are growing more cows and expanding their offerings to other herds (see Java support, node.js support, Linux support, ...).
What were the actual correlation values? I didn't see them reported anywhere.

Simply reporting p-values is insufficient; there is a huge difference between statistically significant (high confidence that the value is not zero) and significant (the correlation is large enough that it's relevant for anything useful).

From the plots I suspect the correlations are pretty low...

That might be import duty imposed by the Australian government your paying there. Everything being about %10-%20 more expensive in Canada compared to the US on average is partly because of that.
The performance comparison of ECDSA vs RSA is somewhat unfair. In ECDSA, signing is the cheapest operation, whereas in RSA it is the most expensive. If the timings chosen were signature verification time, RSA would be much faster. See:

Doing 2048 bit private rsa's for 10s: 1266 2048 bit private RSA's in 9.98s
Doing 256 bit sign ecdsa's for 10s: 22544 256 bit ECDSA signs in 9.97s
Doing 2048 bit public rsa's for 10s: 42332 2048 bit public RSA's in 9.98s
Doing 256 bit verify ecdsa's for 10s: 4751 256 bit ECDSA verify in 9.92s

A fairer comparison would probably pitch DH-2048 against ECDH-256, which is more apples-to-apples.

Eh? That's all I mostly do on my 7" Asus, it's what my friends and family use their Android tablets for. Unless "browses the web" means something different in Apple parlance? But hey, no surprises from Marco with his partisan love of Apple, no doubt we'll have some additional Apple waffle like this from from Gruber on the front page.
The Mini with Retina is just the new mini. It's better than last year's model, but that's always the case. The iPad didn't become more expensive when it got Retina, nor did the iPhone.
Let's not forget you need to verify by hand the electrical characteristics & functionality of every logic chip you use to build that homebrew CPU, because the supply chain of basic logic chips is already known to be infected (primarily a QA issue, but clearly a potential vector)
I have the orig. Nexus 7 tablet and I sorely miss the tapping the titlebar to get to the top functionality. I don't think it's a hack, although I think they need a reverse type of feature where tapping it at the top sends you to your previous location near the bottom for exactly the situation you describe.

Personally I don't like larger phones. I like the smaller size of the 4S mainly because I like stuff to fit comfortably in my pocket.
Same here. I feel like we've reached the end of the relevancy of Moore's Law. My PC at home is from early 2008, and it's still an excellent machine. It played all my games wonderfully, even new ones, even 3D ones. I can't imagine a game looking better than The Witcher 2.

Actually, this isn't entirely true; a few months ago, my WinXP install started to play up, to I bought an SSD and installed Win7 on it. Now it runs better than ever. A recent OS helps a lot, as does a SSD.

I can see one reason why I might still want to upgrade, though: The Witcher 3. I doubt it's going to run well on my by then 6 year old machine. But maybe a new graphics card is all I'll need. Or maybe it'll even just work.

My Macbook Pro is a lot more recent, but it also feels like it might last forever. It can handle everything I throw at it. Why would I ever need something more powerful than this?

If I want anything new from my computers now, it's stuff like smaller size, less noise, less power use, etc. They're powerful enough.

Apple is in a tough spot, and these rollouts really reflect it.

Jobs was such a perfectionist in message delivery that anyone else doing that on behalf of the same company just is not going to measure up. The expectations are so high, and nobody carries that persona. I'd rather personally see the voice of Apple change to something I can identify with, and that voice just isn't there. If anyone at Apple is listening, just so you know...the company has no voice at the moment.

The rock-and-hard-place is the product offering. Frankly, the products haven't really advanced all that much in the past few years. There have been some improvements, but improvements are to be expected, and everyone tends to deliver incremental improvements. Those improvements certainly don't measure up as a premium. The days of massive lines for product releases, the waiting all night for the next iThing...I just have a hard time expecting that those are going to be on the order-of-magnitude to what we've seen in the past.
for the $1/day metric to be valid you'd have to hold onto that mbp for over 8 years.
Why are we comparing Microsoft to RIM?

RIM was a one trick pony. Microsoft has several billion dollar businesses.
I think that the antibody test is the quickest, but if money is no expense, the gold standard is probably to mix potentially-HIV-infected blood (and/or tissue samples from lymph nodes) with compatible "clean" blood and then look for evidence of active infection under a microscope or via some other exotic method.
So we're way past criticizing a thing somebody makes. Instead we're criticizing the "product messaging" that goes along with the thing.

The complaint seems to be that this event, despite all the time spent on the usual "The things you fans bought have indeed turned out to be very popular, yay for you" message, didn't deliver the same sense of materialist cult excitement that some people had become accustomed to.

And that apparently is generally viewed as a criticism worth making, worth discussing. It's considered important.

Hm. Well what do you know.

Here is a not-in-depth look at what's involved in trying to generate byte-for byte binaries on msvc:

In short, if you ignore certain things when comparing binaries and make sure you build things on absolute path of the same length(!), you can tell binaries are functionally equivalent.
You can copy the url of the object and anyone can see it if it's public (you can make it public from the app). I'll add signed urls soon.
Oh, I see your point. Those other devices didn't skip a generation of processors, though, so it's not the usual case.
Why not?

Because TrueCrypt is several orders of magnitude more high-profile of a target (being actual cryptography instead of a compiler) and probably also several orders of magnitude easier to compromise in a useful fashion & spread.

Paranoia is without bound. Who knows, you yourself might be a sleeper agent and you just don't know it yet! Maybe your eyes really were compromised in development! So you approach the problem from the point of view of what is likely, and what is not. You cannot guard against every single paranoia, but you can guard against ones you deem more likely.

> It's not meant for differentiating a function known only by its points. It's meant for evaluating nth-order derivatives of functions you can already evaluate at arbitrary values

This is correct. So my comment "I think generally a better approach to AD is to redefine your differentiation", doesn't really apply to AD. Essentially, AD is about differentiating functions, not data.

> Linux is smearing the operating system market at the expense of Microsoft's cash engine

Is this true? I don't see too many Enterprise shops going "no more windows, exchange, and active directory. its ubuntu, postfix, and ldap all the way!"

Linux certainly has killed commercial unixes, but MS Server products never got popular for web and other areas Linux is traditionally strong in. The fabled year of the linux desktop never happened.

MS still leads with many enterprise products. For all the hand-wringing over surface and bing, MS is swimming in money on the enterprise side.
This was a true positive.
