Josh,

Thanks for trying it out. I tried few large samples from Hulu and they seemed to work fine, e.g.:

But indeed, sometimes there could be issues if the code does not compile with the compiler of choice.
If you click, it's a tab. If you drag, it's a window. What's so difficult about that? There's no reason to click on a window that is already fullscreen, anyway. (OP's problem only occurs if the browser is fullscreen.)

Some of the design goals for the new language (which seems to be called Aurora) are outlined in a recent post on the Light Table blog. Definitely some exciting stuff.

Sorry, I was unintentionally vague, I meant without having to write their own version of Mantle. The other upside being if Metal wraps around Mantle, they can still expose Mantle to software that targets Mantle.
Why does it scare you that they put out an update to change how they work with what is essentially irreversible hashes of the original high resolution scan of your fingerprints?
Except that my actual URL is much longer than the short one that I am using on Twitter, advertisements, T-Shirts and various other sources.

Directly serving the content while possible is not what my client wants. They want to go from their short URL to the longer full domain one.
OK, thanks. I guess that makes sense. Now that the website is working, I see that they're aiming at fairly seamless interop between Swift and Objective-C, so I guess they need a similar memory strategy.
Swift – observations from Rust’s original designer
the "next big thing" is an ecosystem that works well together. by neglecting all these individual systems, and not having them work together well, they're ensuring they're not the 'next big thing' and never will have it.

IMHO, I don't think putting a 'cute' face to robots make them less creepy. In fact, it's more creepy because the face makes us think of something that looks like a human but doesn't have "life".

Instead, a better robot is one that is clearly a machine. A robot that makes coffee is less scary/creepy if it looks like a coffee machine rather than a humanoid.

Just my 2 cents.
In my town Google Maps has traffic “data” for every side street and it’s usually wrong or irrelevant. A red light at an intersection will show up as a traffic jam and then I’ll get weird routes trying to go around it.

Traffic for freeways, on the other hand, is amazing.

This likely has to do with the quality of traffic data provided by the municipality. But Apple Maps doesn’t have the same problem. Their side-street traffic data is reliable around here – very surprising.
Ah, I see. That would make sense, though if they're trying to reduce overhead, it might not be the best idea.
Anecdotally, hot YC deals (which PA was one of) are done at $8m+ with no discount.
How Does Google Maps Traffic Work?
Where are the African programmers?
That assumes that every user gets the same "long" URL for a particular "short" URL (and that every 30x corresponds to a short-to-long redirect). It falls down where a URL depends on geolocation or time sensitivity.
When you're trying to reorder tabs, you are much more likely to click on the tab itself, not the pixel above it. Try it yourself, it happens naturally. Drag-and-drop usually involves more precise mouse control than simple clicking.

So the software can safely assume that if you drag the top pixel, you're trying to move the window rather than the tab.

Its a great Initiative for people working in Drug repositioning especially, thank you for working towards bringing about such a nice technological api that suits bioinformaticians like me... I have a question on why do you limit the Api calls to 60000 with a key per day, what is stopping you from setting an higher limit..
The URL should be under the full control of the domain.

1.) The browser can offer the ability to (right click) and shorten a URL or lengthen it. A HTTP standard would provide this mechanism.

3.) The would not require multiple redirects because everyone should ask the domain. If the URL is already shortened then there is not need to shorten again.
- service like bit.ly, goo.gl can provides services to: 1.) Actually shorten, statistics...
Thanks for clarifying.

Is your 3.5-5M valuation cap number pre- or post-money?

Given what you said, it looks to still be in the range of 25-35% investor ownership, correct?
Are you honestly suggesting that Rust is stable at this point?

I think that the recent, and very disruptive, ~ and box changes should completely dispel that notion.

I'm merely pointing out the reality of the current situation, which some in the Rust community do not wish to acknowledge, for whatever reason. The situation has yet to change, so what I'm saying is still valid, and will remain so until some actual improvement does take place.

Now that we see yet another serious competitor in the form of Swift, what I've had to unfortunately be saying for some time now becomes more and more relevant. If Rust is to become relevant, it will need to be usable, and that will need to happen very quickly.
any proof to back up those claims?
> I think you may be aiming for a level of safety, or perhaps a notion of "perfection", that isn't practically obtainable.

I believe it is, as the basic structure and rules of the borrow check (which is the part of Rust that's truly unique) have proven themselves to be quite usable. The usability problems remaining are implementation and precision (e.g. issue #6393), not big problems that will require large redesigns.

> The recent, and rather disruptive, box changes are a good example of this. We see change, and those of us with existing Rust code sure do feel the change, but very little convergence seems to be happening.

Yes, it is. The number of outstanding backwards incompatible language changes is decreasing. People who do Rust upgrades notice how the language is changing less and less.

> A memory-safe programming language that can't actually be used is pretty much irrelevant. It's better to accept some slight amount of imperfection if that means it can actually be used.

"Some slight amount of imperfection" means not memory-safe. Java didn't settle for that, C# didn't settle for that, Swift isn't settling for that, and we aren't settling for it.
I don't quite see when in the keynote Apple demonstrated the run-anywhere applications that's discussed in this blog entry. These are all different implementations of applications running on their respective platforms, integrated through the cloud. It's nothing new at the most basic level, and nothing new at the application level. What Apple's done is integrate everything in a fairly seamless fashion. Certainly Apple gets kudos for their execution (the proximity stuff was cool), but in the end, integration through the cloud and being able to pick up where you left off is something that has already been demonstrated by Google (along with other companies) with stuff like Chrome syncing and the Google Docs suite of applications.
Actually, WebKit was a fork of KHTML, correct, but it is licensed under the terms of LGPL. One extra letter, but a world of difference. This is why they had to open source KHTML, but they could get away with not open sourcing Safari (if KHTML was licensed under the GPL, any app that linked against the library would need to be licensed under the GPL, too.)

Let's not forget that webkit when it was released was little more then a code dump - one big patch that had to be applied to KHTML.

I don't mean it won't be used. You are right, for example PS4 uses its own PSSL. But it's still a failure, because it's bad for developers who have to support multiple APIs and bad for users who likely won't get some titles for their platform because developers have no resources to support multiple APIs.

I graduated with a math degree 4 years ago and have been realizing my career aspirations since then. My salary history encapsulates my success (feel free to ask), but I want to do what I enjoy: program computers. I am specifically looking for a position as a full stack developer, but am excited to hear about other positions as well.

Thanks! r0fls
You seem to desire both stability and a faster 1.0 release. The realistic choices are:

1. Release fast and iterate
2. Release fast and be stuck with mistakes
3. Release slow

Option #1 breaks stability, so that's out.

Swift appears to be taking option #2 (Apple doesn't commonly break APIs, do they?), but we can't even really be sure because it hasn't been developed in the open the way that Rust has. It's possible that it's been in development as long as Rust, and we simply haven't heard about it yet. Either way, option #2 is a perfectly reasonable one to go with; it has served Java quite well (for a loose definition of fast), though it has required some creative approaches to language improvements.

Rust is taking option #3. C has been around for over 40 years now. If Rust hopes to supplant it, it seems reasonable to take a few extra months (or even an extra year) to put out a solid version 1 that won't hamstring the language or force a breaking change down the line.
But not for all. I'm talking about original engine developers here.

So more exclusive titles to expect. Nothing good in it.
The situation where browser vendors create browsers benchmarks isn't healthy. And SunSpider is a total joke at this point, full of toy programs and microbenchmarks that have been optimized to death, so I'm disappointed that JetStream is including most of it.

(For example, did you know that every major JS engine now has a daylight savings offset cache, something which is entirely useless for any real code, but substantially speeds up the date benchmarks in SunSpider? Bleh.)

The state of C/C++/Fortran benchmarking has been much better -- not perfect, but much better -- for years, thanks to the SPEC benchmarks, which are created by an independent company that invites submissions for real-world programs that are suitable for benchmarks.

I wish there was something similar for JavaScript and HTML, though the fact that you have to pay for copies of the SPEC benchmarks isn't good.

So you want web apps that are not web apps (with special hooks to the hardware and native features etc).

Sounds like you need an announce mailing list where users can't reply, a spreadsheet, and some Gantt charts.
I was thinking the same thing, but for sets of images where the occluding items are a relatively small percentage of the image area (and are moving around enough between frames), taking the median pixel value is effectively the same thing as the mode, but faster. (e.g. if you take 10 frames, the 1-2 frames where a pixel is occluded will almost certainly be an outlier to the 8-9 frames where the pixel is almost exactly the same, and the median will take the value in the middle of those 8-9 frames.

(Another problem with mode is that you'd have to posterize the image to ensure that shifting light, noise and camera movement don't cause the values of background pixels to vary slightly. Mode is much more brittle in that respect.)

If I recall correctly, Lightroom / Photoshop has a handy "median" filter, but no mode filter, which is why the popular method uses median.
The moment I saw the screenshots before the Keynote, I was like finally an Alfred replacement. However, while Spotlight now looks beautiful and very fast and still won't be a replacement for Alfred.

Opening apps and searching the file system is doesn't touch the surface of Alfred because what makes it powerful is the workflows. Just like what makes the iPhone great is the app store.

If I want to add an appointment to my calendar (Fantastical) I just type cmd + space "f Go the Movies at AMC tomorrow at 5pm" and it would automatically add it to my calendar with location and times and titles going to the proper fields all immediately without opening any apps. Or update Harvest timing tracking with a few key strokes.

I'm very surprised Apple didn't release a plugin api for Spotlight, but you can be sure they will next year at which time Alfred will slowly fade away eventually. We can all thank Alfred though for inspiring the new spotlight.

You're asking a 8-10 character string decompress to an arbitrary length string, and have the client be able to do the decompression.

I think if you think about this for a few seconds, you'd find out that if you were able to create such a solution, you've have destroyed some information theory laws.
I think the point is that it never has been a technology problem, but rather a usability one. This particular implementation may not be the implementation, however it's a step in the direction of fixing this problem.

I could be mistaken, but I don't think the integration is through the cloud. It looks like it's built on the same tech as airdrop, using bluetooth 4.0 to exchange bonjour data then build an ad-hoc wifi network to transfer data (might skip the wifi for tiny transfers like email contents)

Otherwise, the stuff like instant tethering wouldn't work because the devices would never be able to connect - also it seemed too fast in the demo to be making the round trip to the cloud, though that is the nature of demos
The cap is applies to the pre-money valuation during a following priced round.

Yeah, your numbers (25%) seem correct, but based on standard seed terms. Another commenter pointed out that PA was a hot YC deal, which may have led to much more preferable terms.
Twitter or other "end points" of content could simply follow the URLs being posted to the end, then strip out intermediate redirects.

It wouldn't solve it completely, but it'd kill the 7 redirects thing.

No, I'm not suggesting that Rust is stable. It wasn't even slightly implied by what I said. I was just pointing out that you're a broken record on this topic, to the point of being a troll (you seem to just ignore the meat of any response you get and only focus on the current state of Rust).

To be crystal clear: no-one is suggesting that Rust is stable and no-one is suggesting it is ready for adoption (if they are, they are wrong). However, being unstable now is very very different to not ever being stable.

In any case, Swift is only tangentially a Rust competitor as kibwen demonstrated.

I'm aware that DDG relies heavily on Bing. But that only highlights the dynamic at play: the issue hasn't been technical elements of delivering search results, but providing a compelling case to switch.

There's the additional situation that I'm absolutely no fan of Microsoft and trust them to my search data even less than I do Google. Handing either my queries via anonymizing proxies is rather more palatable, however.

DDG's share of search is still small, but its growth rate is on fire. It also seems to be largely organic (today's announcement by Apple would be an exception to this), which strikes me as generally more persuasive than growth driven by various sorts of gimmickery (see the extensive manipulations of web server stats Microsoft attempted through the years largely through changing parked domain hosting status).

Do you have a reference for search engine ranking? I'm not turning up any clear stats, though from Fool.com I get a reference to 4.7 million queries/day vs. 3 billion for Google. That puts DDG at 1/640th Google's traffic, though as I said: growing quickly.

For me, it all depends on how big the project is. If it would be faster for me to build an MVP than get convincing user validation, I'll build it. The MVP can test my hypothesis.

Man, this really demonstrates the level to which the "major advertisers" (Google, Facebook, and friends) actually control the internet--the ecosystem is incredible! It also indicates how much it sucks to base your business on someone else's business. I had a friends company end up in a similar spot after Google started crackin' down on farming AdSense links.

The best possible thing you could do would be to find an alternate advertising model. That is, however, likely impossible for you at this point.
