Yes; a lot of companies that want to make their services available to mobile users (which is a pretty damn large market) but do not have the capacity or do not want to invest in native apps will want their developers to build a mobile webapp, responsive website, or hybrid app.

Disclosure: I'm rebuilding a pretty big BackboneJS app (which I started building two years ago with a team that grew to two dozen people) into an AngularJS-based mobile webapp.

Note also that AngularJS is a whopping 700 KB before minification and gzipping (270 KB minified/gzipped).

"Archival" may also mean "non-consumer" as in "don't ever touch the media with your hands" or "don't even think of having a single copy of anything". The physical tolerances of this are so beyond already fragile Blu Ray media I can only imagine these disks would come encased in airtight cartridges to be manipulated by exquisitely precise robots and read and written within very delicate drives.
> I think of a country's legal system as a computer program. Anglo countries have been developing their program for a long time. Therefore, it can do a ton of different things, including allowing farmers to hedge against bad harvests in the manner you describe.

Anglo legal systems aren't more sophisticated merely because they've been in development longer. It's that English society was legalistic and willing to readily embrace legal abstractions. Think of the conceptual leap from a traditional right to property (i.e. the legal system will keep someone from taking my land by force), to the Anglo notion of property (nearly any set of rights and obligations between parties can be wrapped into a contract that can be held and traded like property). The latter concept is tremendously enabling of markets, but it's not obvious. It was invented by a society that was totally comfortable thinking in legal abstractions, and that proved to be a competitive advantage.

> One problem is that, as programs get more sophisticated, they also become slower, and you end up needing to throw more resources at them to make them run at acceptable performance.

Let's analogize the legal system to a computer operating system. My phone runs Kit Kat, whose big feature is that it can "comfortably" support phones with as little as 512 MB of RAM. This is almost 10x as much RAM as I had in my high-end desktop computer some years ago (PII-era), which ran NT 4.0 just fine. Operating systems get slower and more complex every year, but nobody seems to really see that as enough of a reason to forgo the benefits of the complexity. Nobody cares about absolute overhead, but relative overhead. In the U.S., the legal sector's share of GDP has been steadily declining since the 1970's.

> The law is like, or should be like, user documentation, because it is ultimately consumed by humans.

Legal documents are much more like formal design specifications (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_specification) than user documentation. Legal documents are references against which disputes can be resolved. Nobody would use user documentation to resolve a dispute about, say, whether a feature was implemented properly--they'd look at the specification.
I had various models of the GP2X and hacked together a game for it and really enjoyed the community around it. That said, I thought the Pandora project would either fail or units would only be available when better alternatives exist, or the unit price would be too high. I'm glad to see there is still some momentum.
> For a light treatment of the topic, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_equivalent_dose

Please don't. The "banana equivalent dose" people make the wrong assumption that the excess potassium brought in the organism by eating a banana stays there for 50 years. Because of the way potassium homeostasis works, the excess is eliminated within a few hours, when urinating.

So let's reduce the average exposure time from 50 years to 12 hours and the radiation exposure from 0.078 microsievert to 0.00000213 microsievert. We're losing respect for some cool comic strip in the process[1], but the reality is worth it.

Maybe system programmers are “doing it wrong” now?

Even when you write a simple VGA driver you have to solve some equations. They are simple, so what does an average [good] C programmer does? He writes them down in his favourite inexpressive specialized language. Consequences: 1) a simple concept immediately becomes an incomprehensible mess; 2) approaches using more advanced ideas rarely get the proper attention because a system programmer is unable even to write them down, let alone reason about them and tweak them. There is no reason why a VGA driver for certain microprocessor could not be generated by a high-level language with the basic concepts behind it expressed more clearly, and nevertheless formally.
Things I Learned from My First Post to HN
The team includes lobbying firms run by two former members of Congress: Toby Moffett, a Democrat who once represented Connecticut, and Robert S. Walker, a Republican from Pennsylvania. Mr. Ackman also hired firms run by former top White House aides for President Obama and President Clinton. Jim Papa, who handled legislative affairs for the Obama White House, also joined the effort, with his firm, Global Strategy Group, a longtime consultant to Mr. Ackman.

Reading stuff like this really gets me sick to my stomach.
It doesn't improve your immune system per se, injected cells are programmed to target cells with specific markers and there can be collateral damage (see top comment). Also if I understand it correctly your immune system will not reproduce these programmed cells, so it's temporary.
I did some research on this a few years ago [1], and Steve Souders recently re-ran the test with the latest http archive data [2]. Given the percentages, I'm still not convinced that it makes sense to reference jQuery or any other library from a shared CDN.

That said, you also need to be careful with concatenation. It's tempting to go for a 'concatenate everything into one file' approach, but that can be suboptimal. When you've got a large library like jQuery that changes infrequently, concatenating that with your constantly-evolving application code results in your users paying the download cost for jQuery every time you make a change (albeit without the connection overhead). Instead, it make sense for some applications to bundle third party libraries into one file, and the application code into another.

As I said in my original article, the most important thing you can do to improve the performance of your site is to measure client-side performance from your real user traffic, establish a baseline and only then try various techniques and see which ones have the greatest impact for your site and your visitors. There are various techniques that /might/ help, and some are more universal than others, but you won't know for sure if a change helped or hindered if you can't look at your stats.

That's a very good point. I tend to drop down quickly from the ORM to do SQL level optimization on hot spots, and that is the case of the applications where I have used this connector. Also, we are talking about entreprise applications with relatively low number of requests, albeit a lot of them resource intensive. In this context, the performance of the connector is not critical. I can tell you that it is good enough that I didn't have to change my usual architecture choices for performance reasons. Your case may be different.

This is the first year (roughly) of the program. They (NY State) announced it last year. Many of us in NYC looked at it and were like: "ok, well, no use to us". The thing with NY State programs is that they're almost entirely geared to helping politicians north of I-84. While the NYC region has the bulk of the population, it doesn't control the legislature (so when people complain about NYC's taxes, keep in mind that the state controls the tax structure, NYC has minimal control over revenue).

NYC's programs for startup businesses (digital and otherwise) have been more oriented to eliminating red tape, some real estate help. Lately there's an extremely underhyped effort to get fiber to offices, but the requirements are such that you'd need to be well along in your business to take advantage of it.

What is this article meant to signify? Is it just to reassure people who travel to Tokyo?

Fukushima is 300 Km north of Tokyo, so while the radiations in the latter might be low, the former, (correct me if I'm wrong), is a lost city that won't be possible to inhabit for thousands of years. That, in my opinion, is a more relevant fact.

its a tad more complex that you would imagine from the get go. Certain coding patterns don't work well with closure; for example obj["name"] = a and elsewhere obj.name will cause issues.
Of course it would make a lot of sense if they simply wrote it for AO, but I doubt that will happen.

After careful reviews, -Wno-xxx switches can be added on demand (such as -Wno-overlength-strings, haha) to limit annoying/irrelevant messages, but experience shows that having thousands of warnings in logs lead to ignore issues (this is especially true when the codebase is huge)

Is there such a thing as an advisory CTO? And where do you find one?
I need someone that I can ask for advice on app structure, how to set up the queuing of jobs, API design and database design / optimisation. My coding is alright and I can hire developers no problem and break tasks down, but I need an experienced developer to lean on for advice from time to time (around 4 hours a month I'd guess). I use "CTO" rather than mentor or advisor because I'd like the person to be part of the team and to believe in the project. Mentor and advisor seem too abstract somehow.
This post is asking the wrong question. Steve Souders (someone help me find the reference) from Google has done some measurement a few years back and concluded that you pretty much should just concat and minify every script into one file for mobile and forget about serving multiple scripts from a CDN. Setting up a connection and the latency involved on mobile is what's killing first load speed.

Having that said, the problem isn't that jQuery is too big for mobile. Lots of things incur a largish download size for mobile. Bootstrap's ginormous CSS bundle first comes to mind. The biggest headache with jQuery on mobile is that it's too damn slow in execution. On a tablet where you have tons of screen space to display lots of widgets, creating largish amount (> 200) jQuery contexts can easily kill your frame rate to something < 10fps.
They are definitely too sensitive. Fortunately a second one may be had for less than ten bucks.
Invisible Russian cyberweapon stalked US and Ukraine since 2005

Even if you know exactly where the airplane broke up, finding debris can be very difficult:

* There often aren't many big pieces left after a breakup at 550 MPH.

* The debris is falling 7 miles, so where it actually lands is pretty random and dependent on the shape / weight of the debris. Lower density debris probably travels further.

* Most debris sinks when it does get to the ocean.

* The lower density debris that floats moves in currents.

* You can't search at night, so the floating debris might move considerably before you can start searching.

Is "jQuery Mobile" too slow for mobile?

Slow tap performance, slow overall performance, http://www.jquerymobile.com

Is "jQuery" too slow for mobile?

Too big, a bit slow. The issue is the compressed file size. It's still huge (81kb) and mobile user will notice if your combined web app JS size goes beyond 200kb (speaking about mobile on Edge network, latency). It also slows down your web app, check out: http://jsperf.com/popular#all-time

Do you really need "jQuery" in 2014 on mobile?

I would say no. I have recently coded a 30k HTML5 web app that runs on mobile as fast as native apps. So my advice is to just use native HTML5 JS API, it works fine. Introduction: http://www.sitepoint.com/jquery-vs-raw-javascript-1-dom-form...

When it comes to API security, you can't be too harsh! I guess I was trying to explain it more conceptually, since it sounded like the person asking didn't understand the concepts.

But I stopped short on #1, as your post points out. You're absolutely right when it comes to designing an API for consumption by apps that will be distributed as packages.

I can't update my original post with a clarification, so here's what the end of #1 should have said:

1 (continued)

If either the clients' source or compiled code can be inspected by attackers (which is true for distributed, i.e. native mobile or desktop, apps), you don't want to make client app developers include their secret authentication key directly in their app. In this case, consider using OAuth 2.0 for authentication instead.

With OAuth, the client app has the user authenticate with their own credentials, where the API will respond with a per-user access token (that can easily be revoked per user if necessary), which the client app will then use for subsequent authorized requests.

To play devil's advocate... maybe shorting stocks is actually a sensible way to fund activism against unethical companies. It's not unprecedented. The "No win no fee" structure common in class action lawsuits is roughly equivalent.

If someone wanted to actually put this into practice, the thing to do would be to create a fund and identify several companies doing illegal things, short the stocks, and then launch campaigns against them.

I'm not sure if the math works out though. With traditional VC your wins are orders of magnitude larger than your losses, which is what allows the portfolio to succeed. I don't know enough about shorts to know whether a similar structure could be created.
If I murder someone while traveling in the US, I can expect to be trialed there (because I committed the crime on US soil). If I murder someone in Germany, I can expect to be trialed by a German jury, under German laws and standards.

Same goes for every crime. Trialing people in foreign jurisdictions deprives them of their basic rights which a "resident" would get - like the right to be trialed by a jury of local people, for example. Not to mention language barriers and the exorbitant costs of legal defense in the US compared to Vietnam!

That's, uh, really impressive. I'd like the author to write about it, because I'd like to understand how much extra work it took to get compiling from the C code once it was disassembled by the tools. It'd be interesting to understand what sort of pitfalls the tools produce, so that the tools can be more efficiently used to do more work like this.

It's well above my head, but it'd be a fascinating read!
