I've personally never used it, but I've heard great things about Perch (http://grabaperch.com/). It's supposed to be very simple to work with and get a "simple CMS".

Wordpress can be used to do many things. The problem is when you're a developer, sometimes those niche cases of what you want it to do are a pain in the rear. But that's with any framework/CMS.
Fine astroturf comrade.
Yeah I tried that one too. Deactivated my number on imessage on my phone and turned it off everywhere else I used it. People sending me texts still send as imessage rather than SMS and still show as delivered on the senders end. My new HTC never gets any of it. Even worse none of my existing imessage devices get the message either. It's simply gone. An Apple support rep actually suggested that I have everyone that I text with delete their conversation thread with me in their app in order to fix the issue. Seems like an unreasonable burden to put on the user. Needless to say attempting that on a few friends phones did not seem to work.

This is such a strawman. I really doubt that there are a lot of people who favour terse programming languages (or programming practices) only because of how little they have to write - if that was the only concern, they would be happy with a verbose language as long as it had good support for autocomplete and boilerplate generators.

Some people think that terse code is more readable, not just more writeable.

I got to meet the artist when his 'Alien' creation was on display at the California Science Center in Exposition Park. They had a number of sets from the movie on display and the full size creature that was what they build CGI and other latex models from. I remember "Wow, this guy seems completely normal for someone who has the ability to envision something so twisted." It is a rare gift to be able to think about impossible things.
Unnecessarily dismissive.

The OP has said [1] that he dissociated his number from iMessage and people who text him from iPhones are not getting through to him. That is problematic if you want to receive text messages on a non Apple phone.

It would seem he wrote in his blog in order to get help or bring it to a wider attention.

I've worked with a number of very complex Polymer applications, probably the most complex Polymer applications in existence right now, and the template features have been sufficient so far, and there's always the fallback to code if necessary.

I can think of very few common feature requests (mostly on Shadow DOM, actually), and they don't being to approach the complexity of Angular, which concerns itself with so much more than templating. Angular's complexity is not simply an unavoidable consequence of being used for real world apps - it's just complex.
The Russian state is not in financial difficulties. The oil and natural gas industries are reliable ruble generators, having been effectively resocialized in Putin's era. Russia has paid off its foreign debt completely. The regime won't feel the effect of Western economic pressure any time soon.

The Russian economy is much worse off, however. Competitiveness and industrial development have been neglected by the regime that's happy to siphon off profits from unrefined natural exports. Quality of life is not improving, corruption is rife as ever, wages and pensions can go unpaid.

Lately the government seems to be trying to shift blame onto foreigners and deviants, and so increasing numbers of Caucasian immigrant workers and homosexuals are getting beat up or murdered.

Medvedev talked the talk on much-needed economic development, but turns out he was just a puppet. There doesn't seem to be much hope for change in the near future.

Oh of course, it's insanely annoying. It's not even something that crossed my mind since before transitioning to my iPhone I used to carry multiple phones on me and just switch SIMs around (I'm a mobile dev, not a drug dealer, I promise) I'm just saying that it's not hopeless, Apple hasn't done anything about it in years and from the blog it seems like the writer thinks they'll just never get text messages from iPhone users again, which is false.

From what I understand, it's less of a deliberate "HAHA SCREW YOU" and more of a caching issue on their iMessage registration side. The removal of my number took around 24 hours to propagate to their services (e.g. if a person who didn't have a thread with me put in my number, it would show green not blue) and I had to have some friends delete our chat history since my iMessage-ness was cached on their phone.

I think Apple only checks iMessage registration in pull format, e.g. when someone toggles iMessage on/off on their phone, rather than constantly checking it through some "does this phone have service" background test.

The USA wants to operate aboard ISS until 2024. They're currently contracted to use Soyuz for astronaut transfers until 2020. Russia is refusing to renew the contract past 2020.

However, Dragon version 2.0 should be flying by 2015 and crew-rated by 2017, and Boeing's CST-100 is due to fly unmanned in 2017 and possibly manned before the end of that year.

So the USA will have alternative ways of sending astronauts up to the ISS before the Russian embargo kicks in.

I thought he explained pretty clearly that this is not a unanimous opinion of the IETF, and that there are very vocal groups that oppose it. Firing the chair of a IETF crypto research group would have only given those groups more ammunition, and probably would have prevented this RFC from ever being published.

That said, the very fact that the RFC was published sends a very strong message to those contingents about the IETF's priorities, and I for one am very happy to hear it.
Pretty much if there is a slide with a title "Why not use a Monad?" then this is not the simple parts.

I tend to wonder why more people do not talk about Eckels book on Scala if they want a more basic intro to the language.
This is all a preamble to Dotty, the new experimental compiler ("dotc" in the slides), making its way into Scala proper.

When it was first announced some Scalaz core members freaked out on Twitter (due to proposed simplification of the type system), but that died down, apparently the changes won't completely neuter the type system down to that of other JVM languages.

Presumably tooling and build times will improve, along with fewer ways to do the same thing, when Dotty comes on the scene (guessing a couple of years away).

For now, if one makes use of SBT sub projects along with incremental builds in SBT 0.13 (and turns off automatic builds in Eclipse/IntelliJ), one _can_ have a snappy development experience and decent compile times.

Have to learn the ropes though, as with any powerful language, out of the box there are hard yards to get through...

I suppose the question is, should you even have to do this?

Can't you assume that if a phone has iMessage open, you assume that number is active and poll to send keepalives. If the user has not opened iMessage for a while, you disassociate the number with iMesage. Before trying to send a message via iMessage, the server would check and reply if that user is still associated, if not the phone will fallback to SMS.
How do you propose they fix it? Integrating with the infrastructure of every carrier to detect when a not-iPhone is activated on a line previously occupied by an iPhone is probably expensive and invasive to carriers.

Also you don't have to call tech support. You can deregister iMessage from Settings (by turning it off) before you activate a new phone.

I did a write-up yesterday about why Square Wallet failed. I listed the receipt not living up to its full potential as one of the reasons. Their receipts should be a source of interaction between the merchant and customer. Good to see this announced today.
Great summary. Another thing that's small but interesting to me is the discount rate. When calculating LTV, (Annual Recurring Revenue x Gross Margin) ÷ (% Churn + Discount Rate) the discount rate is effectively 0 right now due to historically low interest rates. I think that's helping a lot of SaaS companies get going right now. Or who know, maybe I'm missing something here.

Most SaaS pricing pages give you the impression that pre-payment is prefered to month-by-month (hence the discount you get for buying 12 months today). With this in mind, isn't the old enterprise model just the ultimate future payment, and thus the ideal pricing model? You get all the cash immediately and there is zero churn risk.

The SaaS model is great for the customer and bad for the business. Maybe that's why the market doesn't like it so much.

I've gotten apps working on .net and ubuntu -- configuration was a drag in both, but it works, and isn't the entire basis for loving or hating a platform. So what I'm saying is I agree with your comment.

The catch here (and point) is why should you have to switch from VS at all? If it's a real source code editor shouldn't it handle Java, Clojure, Haskell, Python, Ruby, JavaScript, etc all just fine? Some of the oldest and free editors do and do it well. I realize MS has an agenda (perhaps) or they've de-prioritized any of these features into oblivion -- but who are they serving, I certainly didn't feel it was me even after giving them a lot of $ for VS.
Too slow for what? Are you suggesting that .NET technology is traveling on a steady path towards becoming irrelevant?

IM and SMS are different ideas. SMS moves a message from one device to another. SMS also knows nothing about the receiving device or whether the message got there.

IM (under which I include iMessage) is user-to-user, not device-to-device. It can know about the recipient and whether messages are received.

Each of these things has advantages.

SMS works because the phone network is always tracking a device. It is very addressable. The receiving device is mobile, rarely changes, and is singular.

IM has a notion of sessions. The user signs off and on. It can travel over any IP connection. The device on which the user is addressable changes a lot. There may be multiple devices, making the definition of “delivered” a bit less deterministic.

Conflating these two makes for a confusing mental model for the user, and for failures like this.
I see no reason why it's inherently unfixable. I feel like there's a bias in our culture that parents will "just know" how to raise children properly. How often do you see classes for teaching parents of toddlers/young kids/preteens/teens how to deal with kids in that age group? There's plenty of resources for newborns, but little past that. Just recrimination and blame for parents who can't get it right. Parenting classes might actually go a long way, but there's no way of knowing for sure right now.

Back when I was at University, a lot of the lectures (and more generally courses) felt like advertising platforms for the lecturers. We would follow bland Powerpoint slides which would regularly point to particular chapters of books, more often than not written by the lecturers themselves.

The slides would often be years old and would fail to adapt to common trends. As for the books, the few updates they received each year seemed to be a way for lecturers to force students to buy the new editions (e.g. page 10 becomes page 20), rather than actual research updates.

This, to me, just feels like lecturers trying to get their money's worth. The students have become secondary to the whole "education thing". I'm aware that higher education systems are largely at fault, not just the lecturers, but one would think integrity would have gotten the better of this odd machinery.

Unfortunately the problem seems even larger to me, we assume Education is this linear, step-by-step thing, when in fact people learn different things at different speeds, in very different ways. Lectures are only a symptom of trying (and failing miserably) to normalize Education. It's the quote by Einstein in all its glory: "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid".
It was rational and valid but it was also dictated by legislation. We had to.

I don't consider my reasoning to be sophistry at all - your claim that Snowden/Miranda broke no laws is simply a sleight of hand to avoid the thrust of the argument.

Do you believe those in possession of copied IP, in contravention of legislation, deserve to be detained and have the IP removed from their possession?
This is the proper response. I feel like the linked post is just a reason to bash Apple. As someone who used to work in their tech support (and has no real feeling about the company good or bad), EVERY time someone calls with this issue, it is fixed with the click of a button that deauthorizes their iMessage token.

I know a lot of people are saying that this shouldn't even have to be a step when you switch phones, but the fact is that you chose to use iMessage for the features. It could have been turned off at any time, they are not forcing you to use it.

It would be great if there was a way to fix this without having to call (or unregister your phone number from your apple id), because of not being able to know that it's happening. But it's not like Apple is deliberately trying to keep your messages hostage. Besides, you've already switched phones.

>I guess I kind of expect the IETF to be predictive, and not be pop-culture or mass-market/media driven.

But that's the GP's exact point: this wasn't a media-driven RFC -- if it had been driven by media, it would have been published last summer. As it stands now, the body has carefully deliberated on the facts and yet still published a very strongly-worded RFC.

This pro-Snowden programmer is pretty happy to see the IETF step forward and take on a leadership role here. Let's not forget that the IETF was founded by a consortium of US government agencies and only when private in the 1990s.

With this RFC, they are asserting their independence in a surprisingly direct manner (for a standards body).

>not being able to realise that people might someday want to change devices?

They did realize it. There are two mechanisms for handling this issue - turning off iMessage in Settings before deactivating your iPhone, and calling Apple after deactivating your iPhone. Both are documented.

There is no way for your iPhone to know it's been deactivated and still communicate with Apple. If anything it's the fault of the carriers for not providing Apple with an API hook for "this iPhone was just deactivated."

Also SMS is many times more lossy than iMessage. I've had messages show up to my friends on AT&T several days after they were sent, and not all. SMS messages longer than the length limit almost always arrive out of order, and sometimes parts don't arrive at all. Relying on non-iMessage texting for medical assistance is stupid to begin with.

Popular fish oil study deeply flawed, new research says
To be honest, Hangouts of Google does a pretty nice job of SMS integration and multidevice communication.

First: if a person has SMS and also a google account, they are just put toghether under the same hood, but they don't get mixed, just get sorted. An SMS goes associated with the number so I would not receive a SMS as a talk message or what ever.
Second: if I am getting a message ( over Gtalk or Hangouts ) all my devices ( including Chrome) are receiving it in the same (relative) time. No stealing around, all my conversations are sync'd everywhere.
Often times feedback is best left anonymously which allows the honest truth to come out. We run a home services company and have experienced this sentiment. Our customers won't likely leave a review for our contractors unless it couldn't be traced back to them. It's a bit different from Square but nonetheless, it's something that should have some sort of effect on Square's end.

Apple should own up to this problem publicly and compensate users.
