There seems to be a theme that when people criticize Computer Science fold, they like to mention that they aren't really knowledgeable in Networking concepts or other concepts that fit quite nicely into the land of 'Systems Administration'. Can we please stop with that? Two different disciplines, and while one is useful to the other, it's not practical to study Computer™. There is simply too much.
The fundamental concept of "browsing" (a.k.a. discovering something new, rather than navigating to something whose existence you know of a priori) seems to be completely lost on the 'nix folks.

IDEs like Visual Studio with Intellisense tell you your options when writing code. Text editors fundamentally do not have that capability. The end result is that you spend a lot of time looking through code manually ("the code is the documentation", etc.) figuring out the right arguments to call a function with and such, when in fact the editor could have just told you what you needed to know right in front of your face with zero effort on your part. That's lost productivity.
Aah you're correct; I had forgotten about that. I suppose syncing all someone's Amazon-related files makes sense in a way. Kindle, MP3 purchases, etc. I may be wrong, but I don't think Dropbox has a technology which is Earth-shatteringly better than than its competitors, although I agree it is the best in the space. And heck, if Amazon bought them, they'd lose all that sweet sweet revenue from Dropbox ^_^.
Yes, agree. All the feelings in the original language can never be translated. The poetry is lost! I still love to translate things that move me, just to give non-Hindi speakers a rough context. :)
It is not, however, the UK law on data protection.

And if LG's argument is that the software that comes with the TV has some sort of licence agreement that customers must accept before using it, that's another whole can of worms.

Please let them try to fight this in a court high enough to set a precedent. Making an example of LG under the various consumer protection laws might be easier than taking on a dedicated software company.

We are well overdue for a heavyweight case in the UK to prove that vendors selling a device for a well understood purpose can't get away with sneaking terms into their legal weasel words about DRM or spyware or introducing security vulnerabilities or rights of physical access for audit purposes or various other abuses that really have nothing to do with what the customer bought the device for.

Yes, we are in our own separate niche. Rather than optimizing the computation of individual loops and the like, we're attacking the problem from a "Big Data" perspective where we seek to optimize processing large data sets. We're talking about special filesystems a la FB's Haystack to optimize disk sector layout coupled with RAID schemes to bring data to the GPU as efficiently as possible to overcome I/O bottlenecks. We are initially interop'ing with Hadoop, and we are going to extend this to support Pig and Hive queries (along with database support). I really do think this is an "apples and oranges" comparison, and it's great that they are taking the C++ AMP route of parallelizing loops (perhaps with some parallel primitives mixed in), but at the same time, there's a lot more to the problem we are trying to solve than just parallel compute.
Short of saying, everything, this post sums it up pretty nicely.

>>Kids think their parents marriage is perfect

Not everyone grew up in a Hallmark special. There are plenty of kids in this world with a more realistic outlook of the world than you're allowing them.
That's cool. You may prefer that. But let's not deny that there's a huge market who have valid reasons for preferring it to work in the TV.
You can't exchange your BTC back into electricity.

Huh? Why not? Surely you could just buy some solar panels with bitcoins, or convert them to another currency and then buy electricity from the grid.
What about when it starts showing ads for things kiddie shows?
Actually, the interesting thing about tulips is that that's not true. I don't mean to single you out here, but this is a demonstration of how most people know jack shit about Tulipomania (even though many of them are perfectly willing to bloviate about it and compare Bitcoin to tulips).

One of the revolutionary things about tulips at that time was that the unique patterns caused by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip-breaking_virus were only partially inherited: after a few generations, the bulbs are too weakened to survive, and the particular pattern disappears permanently, no matter how lovely and beautiful it was.

If you read up on a book about Tulipomania, you'll notice there are no contemporary photos of tulips like Semper Augustus. Because Semper Augustus no longer exists.

So you can 'plant new tulips at will' the same way you can 'paint new Rembrandts at will' ie. slap some paint on a canvas and hope it looks vaguely similar and that's the best you can do, since you can never ever get another real Rembrandt or real Semper Augustus.

He's still laying you odds. He has to buy the bitcoins at today's price, and if he cashes out, he gets them at...well, half the price, since that's the terms of winning.

So he literally gets his money back.

I think you should make the bet in dollars.

This is literally the entire advertising industry's purpose. If you think any single advertisement is not solely intended to trick you into equating good feelings with a particular brand, product, or person then you are very naive.

There is no such thing as advertisement that is made just "to give pleasure to people", even when it comes from Google.

"just not going to get a subsidised product"

What subsidized product? I just paid hundreds to thousands for something you advertise as a smart tv.
The confusion here is that "Visual Studio Online" is a set of support services, not the Visual Studio IDE itself.

What you have probably seen is something like this:
http://www.hanselman.com/blog/UsingASurface2RTARMToGetActual...

Scott Hanselman used an Azure VM to run VS2013 and tools, and remoted into it from a coffee shop using a Surface 2 (the 'RT' flavor, not a full desktop). It's a nice way to work from lower power machines. To do this, of course, does require an Azure account, and after your 'intro' phase would be paid.

The support services provide things like source control, work item tracking, and similar 'in the cloud' but they work with your VS2013 install, wether on a desktop or on a VM on Azure.

Hope that clears things up!

The other mistake that I've seen people make is to try to build their application completely on top of a public API. Sometimes you want to do things in your application that, either for security or scaling reasons, you don't want someone consuming the public API to be able to do (bulk operations, administrative functions, cross-account updates, etc).

You either need private API functions or you need to allow actions that aren't triggered by an API call.

> Marriage vows are meaningless in a non-religious context.

Since marriage was a legal contract of the government before the Church got involved (originally, at something of arms length) in blessing marriages, and because it remained a legal contract enforceable through the civil courts even after the Church got deeply involved, I don't think that's even a little bit true.

It may be true that various modern concepts like no-fault divorce have made specific legal consequences of violating the express or implied promises in marriage less significant in the modern world, mutual promises have meaning even outside an enforcement regime, and the historical precedent of a non-religious enforcement regime demonstrates that the religious content is not essential to meaning even if you view meaning as requiring an external punishment structure.

Except if you tried to unload 189,000 bitcoin you would crash the value back down significantly. The BTC's low volume is th reason why the price rises and falls so quickly.
If it is a text file you manually edit, then those changes are going to be inherently filtered through whatever policy decisions the tool that reads that file makes.

I am having a hard time truly understanding the difference (not that we use VS stuff for deployment anyways, but that is for other reasons).

A developer could add custom deployment info to the manual file and accidentally commit it just as easily.

You just do not like GUIs (which is a perfectly acceptable stance) but it has nothing to do with some fundamental difference.

This is likely the key to BTC value stability, but at present it's still over the horizon. The number of users continues to increase, the supply of BTC continues to increase. It's still being used as a speculative investment/commodity. Once the number of users becomes more stable (or the growth rate is less jumpy) and the speculation quiets down (to be more like a forex market?), then it'll be feasible for vendors to stick to a price with less risk of getting hosed or hosing their clients.
What’s the source of that - that the majority of Bitcoin miners are using ASICs? From everything I’ve read they’re new, in scarce supply with lead times of up to a year, and expensive.
The "take a break" thing is crucial, IMO. I know it's only an analogy, but think about it... in "real life" you can't sprint, sprint, sprint, sprint, sprint, sprint, ... forever and ever. You have to stop and take a breather every now and then.

Personally I don't even like the term "sprint" in Agile methodologies and try not to use it. I prefer "iteration" anyway, because it doesn't carry the same connotation of absolute, balls-out, do-or-die effort, which can actually be harmful.

But regardless of what you call the time-boxed increments, I prefer to never have more than three in a row that are done in full-on "sprint" style. Ideally, every 4th iteration or so, would be a "light" iteration that A. lets everyone catch their breathe, and B. gives some time for taking care of the "loose ends" that otherwise fall through the cracks. Stop (or at least slow down), look at the big picture, look at paying down technical debt, and don't work yourself into an early grave. If you're a team leader, take one day off during the iteration and take the whole team out to see a movie or something.
You're 100% correct that it's not the absolute quickest or easiest method for implementing what would be deemed a quick change. It is, however, a great way to reduce risk. It's my personal opinion that something even as simple as an UPDATE statement comes at a great cost on your production environment. It should be tested all the way up the chain of environments, backups should be issued on your database, etc, etc. It's really not easy unless you're whole-heartedly okay with the potential ramifications of "cowboy coding" so to speak. I myself have been bitten by performing live query UPDATEs/DELETEs very early on in my career, and API first development is designed to protect people like myself from bad things happening.

If lever handles were actually preferred by everybody, then there would be no need for this legislation. Is it really a great injustice in society that somebody with poor hand dexterity might have to replace doorknobs in a newly purchased home? An injustice so great that we must mandate poor-dexterity accessible handles in all new construction?

Here is an idea: if lever style handles are a medical necessity for somebody, let those devices be provided for them by the state, as other medical necessities are in Canada. What's next, installing stair lifts in every home on the off chance that an elderly person might move in? Banning stairs and requiring all new homes to have elevators instead? Are we going to start requiring that all homes that have raised floors in some rooms come with ramps pre-installed?

Weird, and people are now paying close to that 850usd just for 1 coin.

However, if someone had bought coints for even 100usd back in 2010 that would have been weird too and affected the network perhaps a little too negatively.
I'm looking at buying a new TV at the moment, and it's disturbingly difficult these days to find a regular TV that doesn't come with so-called smart features.

I don't want smart features in my TV. I want my TV to show pictures and maybe make sounds from a useful range of input connections, and nothing else.

I can add my own features by connecting different sources to the TV, and so can anyone else who ever bought a FreeView box or PVR or other similar device. And that way, we can also ignore those sources that don't serve our interests, and upgrade or replace the supplementary sources as things like catch-up and on-demand services evolve, without throwing out perfectly good TV hardware.

I get that the TV brands want to jump on the advertising bandwagon, but this is the UK, home of the (commercial-ad-free) BBC. The vendors aren't going to be popular if they try to ram this obvious backward step down our throats, and I suspect they may be surprised by how many of us will vote with our wallets to avoid it. We just need to make sure customers who aren't A/V fanatics or HN-reading geeks are educated about what is going on, so they can vote with their wallets too.
This is uninformed FUD. You can "see" what's in VS's project files just fine. The file format is straightforward XML with fairly obvious semantics. Having worked with both VS's .csproj files and UNIX makefiles, .csproj is far far easier to understand and make changes to. I dive into it all the time. The most common case is when I've got WIP changes that conflict with another dev's checkin and I have to resolve them by hand.

Just because they supply a GUI doesn't mean it's the only way to change project settings. I'm not sure what led you to believe that.
I didn't discuss this in the article, but I should note we do indeed have a fully private API that functions independent of the other and is utilized by our administrative management tools.
I'm curious what the legal/tax consequences would have been, assuming someone had the luck or foresight to be aware of the money they could have made. There's no way someone could have just gotten away with making hundreds of millions of dollars on this, right?
So you are saying we should judge fiat currency in the US from 1972 and on?

Well, explain how fiat currency is better for the median income family? Standard of living, wages, purchasing power, debt load, etc have all been terrible for the middle and lower class since 1972 (relative to the periods before).

I'd choose instability over a system that transfer wealth from lower to upper class (which debt based inflation does).

Who cares if the economy is more stable if it is not increasing the standard of living for the lower and middle class?

> Yes, but reporting back every program you choose to watch to the TV manufacturer certainly isn't

Of course, I agree. My point was that since the buyer wants a "smart" tv, they probably mean to connect it to the network. So instead of not configuring the network, blocking the "phone home" ips might be a more realistic (although probably too technical for most) solution.

You are mistaken. In the last 30 days, on the top 3 exchanges (btcchina, mtgox, bitstamp), there has been more than 3 million bitcoins sold [1], and yet we saw the exchange rate increase over the last month. So it would be relatively easy to sell 189,000 bitcoins, spreading the trades over 30 days, even on only 1 of these exchanges, without causing a big crash.

I think traction is about understanding underlying human psychology / user intent. At the end of it all, it is still humans who are using these products (for now at least :)

There's no 'natural' way of editing the project files: if you think that the 'natural' way of doing it is by clicking junk in a gui, then you are assuming too much.

While I'm probably in the minority, I edit my *.csproj files by hand and build from the command line for several of my projects. I do this for the exact reasons that you mention: I like control in the engineering process.

I'm unhappy that VS 2013 is putting user settings in the proj file willy nilly and I hope that it's fixed soon.
