Seems to me like it has less to do with the tastes of kids these days and more to do with the interface and features of the device. 2D platformers are damn hard to play on a touch screen and require a lot more attention than the typical puzzler/social game. The genres of Zynga and Rovio thrived organically in mobile environments. Meanwhile, the more "hardcore" gaming companies are trying their damndest to force existing game mechanics into an environment that doesn't sustain them.

I'd love to see San Francisco have much more open zoning regulations. They're clearly a contributor to the high real estate costs. However even if I built a low-cost arcology in the middle of SF, I can guarantee that it would find a ready market of rich people willing to pay premium for it. Until the supply of real estate exceeds the demand of rich people willing to pay for it, the market will cater primarily to the wealthy and prices will remain high. A vasty liberalised zoning regime would probably help -- but not until it had saturated the market to the point where the wealthy were no longer crowding out the rest.

Unfortunately the financialisation of the real estate industry makes this very difficult to achieve, as the wealthy will keep acquiring real estate as an investment long after their need for it as an actual place to live has been sated.

Solutions to this will almost certainly need to include all of the following:

1.) Liberalisation of zoning & development, as you suggest (see Germany for a good example of this).

2.) Ending tax breaks which reward the accumulation of real estate. Probably other measures to de-financialise the real estate sector somewhat, such as requiring significantly higher reserves for banks.

3.) A Universal Basic Income to provide automation-proof social support / monetary redistribution in the face of the end of wage labour.

Sorry - I thought I'd said it before but, upon re-reading, I didn't: I can't answer the question because it is too broad in its current form. I don't know "every social site" and I don't know that we can agree on what a "social site" is/does. As such, it's a futile discussion. If, for example, I choose to focus on G+, I might spend 20 minutes on a reply for you to say, "Yeah, but that's G+ - no one but Google employees are using that so it doesn't count. I'm talking about real social sites." Blah - no thanks. I'm being generic, of course - for all I know, you are part of the G+ brigade. I'm just pointing out the (obvious) risk of investing a lot of time in a vague thread.
Hey,

Yep. I am working on it. YouTube mixes utilize YouTube's V3 API (exclusively) where as most of their data can be access via the V2 or V3 API.

You do realize most of those features didn't come from the Mac?

Apple ripped all of the features you describe straight from the Amiga. It could barely do sound because Apple Corps kept suing them for trademark infringement.

It's nice to look back at the Macintosh's history with rose-colored glasses. Unfortunately, it isn't true, nor is it even remotely indicative of the technology at the time.
"As a general recommendation I advise database developers to avoid exactly this sort of "outsmart the planner""

Probably wise in general. This particular case is peculiar because postgres doesn't optimize distinct aggregates at all (see my other comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7115707 ), so it's possible that the rewritten query is actually more optimizable than the original.

The original query won't adapt to changing data sizes or distributions as well as the rewritten one.

This is not fundamental, nor universal. It's a specific limitation of postgres, so I still agree with your general advice. And postgres may fix this, so your advice may prove to be true even in this situation in the long run.

> A lot of that code for building it up, and the representation, will be written without using the dynamic-disptach and reference-counting features of Objective-C.

Fixed.

> require careful design, in order to maintain performance and safety.

In my experience, providing both performance and safety always requires careful design, regardless of the language being used. People who insist otherwise usually turn out not to have a very clear understanding of the state of the art with regard to either “performance” or “safety” or both.

This is especially true in the days of ARC, where you can't just store Objective-C types in C structs.

If it hurts when you do it, don’t do it. Some things need to be Obj-C objects. Many things don’t. I realize that this is glib, but it is absolutely possible to efficiently combine low-level “C-style” and high-level "message-passing/collections/object-style" Objective-C. It requires some attention to detail, but so do most things worth doing. As you build up good habits and idioms, it gets easier and easier.
That is not only morally wrong but it is flat out stupid. Uber is the leading firm in a growing market with network effects. They should be worried about growing as fast as possible first and above all and not about competition. The network effects will take care of the competition.

The worst thing a company in a leadership position like Uber can do is take actions that acknowledge their competition. Even if they are trying to screw over their competition they are doing them a big favor by acknowledging them.

It seems that Uber may lose their first mover's advantage by their greed and small mindedness.

Plastic cases often yellow over time due to flame retardants in the plastic, which is the cause of the sickly color. The Mac case was a originally a much more pleasant beige than it appears in the teardown photos. For more info on case yellowing, see http://hackaday.com/2009/03/02/restoring-yellowed-computer-p...

Apple used to be much more open about their products. The service guide goes into great detail about how to disassemble the Mac - it makes the teardown almost redundant: http://tim.id.au/laptops/apple/legacy/macintosh_128k.512k.pd...

A hardware note: the iFixit teardown points out the "74LS393 Video Counter" chips - these are just plain TTL binary counter chips, not special video chips, so I don't know why it's pointed out as notable. The 6522 Versatile Interface Adapter (bottom center) seems much more notable.

This is why heavy ORM's like Hibernate are only good for the most simplistic (and tiny data) use cases. Every situation I've been in where queries can't be optimized appropriately for specific use cases like this involve engineers who "don't do Sql" and have made heavy use of something like Hibernate. Then scratch their heads when dashboards take minutes to load.

The next step is usually to jump into a column oriented data store, document store, or some other technology they understand even less than Sql.

This isn't just a hypothetical, either. This was the problem I ran into with the Clojure IDE that I was writing[1]. I had to drop down to C to write the lexer/parser and to store the AST. Because of this design decision, traversing, searching, and manipulating this AST was much less pleasant and more error-prone than it was in the initial Objective-C prototype.

This is where Julia will shine for me. It will let me "drop down" to more efficient mechanisms when I need to write efficient algorithms, allowing me to use the same tools at all levels. This is actually my new plan for my IDE, I hope to embed Julia in it and rewrite most of the app in Julia. This should also make it dead-simple to let users extend the app by scripting it in Julia, while still having first-class access to the same internal ASTs used by the app itself.

I was hoping that the low barrier to entry would push tech into the lower classes pretty quickly, and everyone would benefit. But the most popular devices these days are too hard to build or program yourself. I'd love to see little $10 - $50 electronics projects take off in a big way. It would let people build projects and customize software instead of funneling money up the consumer electronics chain.

Not really a good comparison given that OSX 'upgrades' are available on a yearly (sometimes bi-yearly) basis. Which is about the same time span as Service Packs which are free.

And you've still paid for the hardware, which is where the price is wrapped into, since about Snow Leopard.

Not saying it isn't good (I am a half-time Mac user). But calling it 'free' is not entirely the case. I used to get pretty annoyed at having to pay for a new version of OSX from 10.2-10.5 every year or so.

I don't know the specifics of that story, or whether they actually have built the factor of 5X into their system, but note that some "price-gouging" is simply built into the system of supply and demand. If drivers are more scarce during bad weather, it's natural (in some sense) that the price would rise.

It's something they could only enforce in the limited context of gaming. Just like "Apple" can be trademarked specifically in computing. You couldn't sell apples and trademark "apple" in that context because it would unfairly prevent others from selling apples. But Apple gets to protext themselves from a proliferation of companies named "Apple Computers", "Apple Computing", "Apple Computer", "Apple Computor", etc.
The funny thing about black holes is that the classical story of the black hole never made sense, but the "old men" of the physics community always suppressed any real criticism of it since it's been almost impossible to get a job in physics since 1968.

If you right down the equations for a simple black hole you immediately encounter a singularity at the event horizon, but this is swept under the rug by making a coordinate change. The trouble is that coordinate change breaks the warrantee on the space-time continuum because it will stretch a plank length out to something macroscopic. making quantum phenomena visible.

A simpler paradox which has never been taken seriously is that an outside observer sees that it takes forever for something falling into a black hole to hit the event horizon. However, knowing about Hawking radiation, you know the black hole doesn't last forever, so an outside observer never sees anything fall into a black hole.

Thus the classical black hole was always a pipe dream. In the 1970s the information paradox showed that a classical black hole (which makes information disappear because you can't tell the difference between a black hole that was made out of gold bars or feathers) makes information disappear, but information can't disappear in a quantum mechanical universe.

>In the end what matters in business is sustainable profit not marketshare.

With network effects and other market effects, sacrificing profit for marketshare for years/decades might be the longer/smarter play. For example, Amazon is happy to undercut their competition and lose money for years. Is that a bad decision? Remains to be seen, but if they'd focused on sustainable profit, I suspect they'd have a lot more competitors.

Walmart jumps into a new small-town and buries their competition with non-stop deep discounts. Competition closes, Walmart now has tremendous power to price however they want.

I think Apple's appetite for profit is awesome, but it leaves less room for their "partners" (carriers), which means every other player in the marketplace has incentives to push Android/etc. Result: http://www.statista.com/chart/1099/smartphone-operating-syst...

And from the existential side of things... Would you REALLY rather have the 40% margin business that owns 5% of the market or would you rather have the 1% margin business than owns 95%? Either way, you're a gazillionaire. I'd personally rather impact more lives.

Isn't he still saying that black holes exist in that sense, though? According to the article (haven't looked at the paper), it looks like Hawking's new "apparent horizon" could still trap light, and it would only escape as Hawking radiation, which sounds contrary to Einstein's above quote.
Well, I don't think the choice of framework matters for a large project. What matters is the language, and both use python. Frameworks are only starting point. When you build a large software, there would be many things that framework cannot cover up. No matter how frameworks organize parts of a large software, it's not enough. You should organize by python way, not by django way or flask way.

Django app concept? It's good, but what if a single app grows too big? Split two apps? Then what if a project has hundreds apps? We should break down with python modules and packages for a large software.

Flask is simple, and it's good for beginners. But is the simplicity helpful for a long-term project? It saves only learning curve of first week.

Django supports many features and that's also good, but it only saves time to develop the features. Because flask already supports a lot, the saved time would not be much for a long-term project.

Django or Flask matters only for small projects, such as one month long. The choice doesn't matter for a large project. Yes, django template sucks, but you can change to mako or jinja or something else. You like django ORM? That's a good news, but even if you don't like it, you can use SQLAlchemy in django. Such changes can be wastes of time for short-term project, but no problem for large projects.

Code pythonic. That's the answer.

I have made an effort in the recent weeks to try to explore the popular titles, and even some obscure ones and I have to agree. I have always said that gaming on the go is not really anything I care about, as my PC is where I want to game. But with some life shifts I have found myself on the go a little bit more with some spare time and honestly, the Play marketplace offers a bunch of half assed efforts imo.

There are games that are free, but pay to win. There are games that cost, but no way to know if they are worth a damn other than buying and going after your refund quickly. We wont even go into totally free stuff.

So while you obviously arent on par with popular opinion, I agree with you. I for one am hoping that the shift to PC architecture in the new consoles will speed up our renaissance ultimately. Ive been having the most fun gaming single player lately than I have in a long time.
