The apple logo is clearly not kosher, but since nobody is selling these and the forum where the idea and pictures were originally planted chose not to be named, what can they do...

IIRC, this is exactly what happens for html5 forms: the default keyboards on ios/android/wp do display the "@"/".com"/".net" buttons next to the space bar depending on the input type.
A lot of people would probably have a different view on this.
You can make one of these BristleBot-like (ie. Hexbug-like) "steerable vibrobots" for around $10 if you're willing to forgo the professional design. Here's an article that discusses one approach: http://www.hizook.com/blog/2011/09/08/infrared-remote-contro...
Although the new Spotlight looks amazing, Alfred does things it'll never do and until Apple allows custom workflows and that, I'll be and Alfred user for ever.
Apple could provide push for others to follow. This can be very big change in the way medical system works.
I am surprised that we see more then one submission about iOS 8 on this site (if you take into account the curation)
Enumerations (from: https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/documenta...):

Unlike C and Objective-C, Swift enumeration members are not assigned a default integer value when they are created. In the CompassPoints example above, North, South, East and West do not implicitly equal 0, 1, 2 and 3. Instead, the different enumeration members are fully-fledged values in their own right, with an explicitly-defined type of CompassPoint.

+100 for that. This will help developer avoid whole class of bugs.

Enumerations also support associated values. Enums in .NET are very poorly defined. Looks like Swift got it right.
He posted some videos on YouTube a while ago of a live visualization system he made:

I believe you mean 'higher' as in it's still a pretty low actual probability. Though, this is often a mis-perception from a more effective* media and more informed public versus a more classic spoken word of current events in smaller cities.

Ask HN: Team management service of your choice?
I actually need a task/team management service which allows me to delegate tasks to people, track who is working on what and ideally allows one-way communication with my team members, so I as a manager can prevent them from socializing with each other. Do you guys of any service which would allow me this?

TL;DR: I'll assemble a team of assistans(people with specific skills) and will post certain tasks that they can apply to fulfill. Something similar to that.

I'm looking to work at a great company in New York City that allows me to build amazing products while allowing me the flexibility to complete my degree.

I have a strong focus in Web Security and Web Development. I have worked at and built startups that are constantly used by thousands of people.
I'm so glad this was published because I had essentially come to the same result and thought I was missing something given all the hype around MQTT.
I don't know if I should praise the author's insight or scorn the rest of the world for not moving beyond these mistakes.

I'm just kidding... I know scorn is the right option.
Did anybody find information regarding namespaces?
I work in Business Development for a web/mobile app development agency called VRASA (Vrasa.com)-- I think we'd be a good fit.

Oh Ess Ex Ten Point Ten?
A lot of it still is translucent, just not a lot. The menus, in-app sheets (save dialog, go-to-path in Finder, etc), Spotlight results panel, the Dock…
I wonder how legacy apps will look? I'm assuming it will work the same was as iOS 6 apps do on iOS 7, where they just run the same as they did before and look like older apps.

That's going to be a confusing transition. Although it might shame app developers into updating their apps.
That does not sound like a practical solution for any language that offers a standardized toolchain or no explicit compilation as features.

Should be doable as an editor plugin.
This comment surprises me. It's factual but it's not really a response to an actual claim I made. Did you really perceive that I alleged an extreme similarity to Go in my comment? If so, it certainly wasn't intentional. I just said certain features reminded me of different languages, I didn't mean to assert these languages are actually incorporated into Swift.
But this could be extremely handy for something doesn't use a lot of current, right, like an MSP430 or similar?
I think that's my point. Why not JavaScript then?

The only reason I can see is vendor lock-in.

Is that what you're going to do 365 days a year? I think the typical definition of "FU money" is, enough money so that you never have to do anything you don't want to do. Not so you simply never have to do anything, at all, ever...
You do need to have a Mac to do dev, although you can go the Hackintosh route. I just built one using tonymac86's guide. There are a few gotchas, but it just basically works, and can be a good way to get started without buying something brand new.
And they're working on more communication the other direction. I use it — it's nice to have.

As a counterpoint to yours, I'll be sticking with Alfred. I'm sure the devs will be able to enhance Alfred with the improvement made to the underlying bits of Spotlight. I use the custom workflow all the time as well as the ability to customise searches.

In addition, from what I saw in the demo, I don't want suggestions from the iTunes Store popping up at any time.
No perl? Really? Sheesh.
Ask HN: LLC/S-Corp for web dev shop ownership + salaries?
My business partner and I are both designer/developers launching a small devshop (or "agency", if you're feeling spinny).

We've talked to CPAs, hit up Avvo.com, and two lawyers, and remain confused.

We anticipate assets (code and products) that we want to co-own. But we also anticipate contributing different time and talents to projects. We can't predict, but we don't expect to split dev time 50/50. And we expect that one of us will bring in more business than the other.

We need a legal entity that will allow us to do this:
- split ownership of assets evenly

- split decision-making evenly

- pay each person for time worked on a project, based on hours and a reasonable hourly rate

- pay commission/bonus/something for bringing in business (so if ! deliver a client and he does all work, I still get 10% of that project fee)

Can we form as an LLC, take the S-Corp election, and then pay ourselves an hourly rate (1099?) for work we do and recognize that as a cost-of-business? And then any remaining profits would be either held in the company or paid out as dividends?

Thanks.
No excuse for this now we have webfonts.
This is awesome, but can we talk about the very scary looking folder icons?
As someone wise mentioned to me, Objective-c was 20% of the problem and Apple's silly rules and controls around app distribution are the other 80%. As someone who had their app available in the app store for nearly 8 months including 3 approved updates before being (seemingly) arbitrarily rejected, I feel the pain of that other 80%.
This is the point of the article, really: that educational innovation needs to include all kids, because those are who are going to, collectively, have the most impact on society.

Even if the school system could be perfectly tuned for the top genius kids, there's just not enough of them to outweigh everyone else, in terms of long-term social impact.
> I'm never going to get to sue most of this stuff

tort reform freudian slip?
I will not comment about finances, but the idea behind starting at a community college isn't that an associates degree will prepare you for something like the CPA exam, but that it will help you satisfy degree requirements for a bachelors degree without spending as much money as doing all four years at a public four-year institution.

The tuition for a community college, per year, is about 1/3rd [1] the cost of a year at a public in-state 4-year college. If you live at home, you possibly save another couple grand a year. Factor in that some states have Guaranteed Admission Agreements [2], it can make community college an attractive option.

Can you leave group MMS or just group iMessages?
A college-aged student isn't a child, and she doesn't say whether her brother is older or younger.

In the US, you can start a degree at a community college and then transfer to a state/private college later. This has the benefit of you paying a lot less in tuition for first-year and gen-ed classes, plus you can often live at home so you save living expenses.
If the solution for a feature intended to save time and reduce hassle ends up being "write and maintain your own compiler extension" it's a bad feature. Period.

Note that your contextual value of "save time and reduce hassle" is mostly programmer dependent.
A lot of schools have iPads, I suspect a few may end up buying Mac Minis.
I found the notion of "Optionals" surprising and a bit hard to handle at first. In Objective C it was really easy to lazily allow values to be nil and still do things on them, so it's a bit of a departure.

Thinking about it a bit longer, is it because of the clear distinction between non nullable values ans optionals that the compiler can optimise the code so much more ? (I am thinking about the xx times faster than Objective C claims)
So he can act interested in my question, invite me for a friendly discussion over coffee, and then arrange to put me in a cage? Seems like a terrible idea.

Gosh, Valve must hire great PR. I had completely forgotten their overt evil actions around this incident.
Ironic that the official apple page for Yosemite shows it running a macbook air, which hasn't seen a cosmetic or design update in ... 6 years ? 2009 was when they removed the physical mouse button...
I just spent the past 2 months learning obj-c, about to release my first app and boom, X out obj-c. my luck.
Yeah, I very much enjoy learning languages just for fun, but it's a bit of a catch-22 - to really learn a language I find I need to do something "real" with it, and upon doing something "real" I find that the language is no longer quite so much fun. But I do think that broad superficial knowledge helps inform decisions about which narrower set of things to pursue deeper knowledge in.
If I also remember correctly, I was able to use this same phone (first phone I had with a camera, I believe - T610?) to snap a shot, and then email it to an address that piped that to a Perl script. That Perl script, then posted the photo to a very simple blog-like app I had written (also in Perl). I handed the site in as an art project I did, after a week road trip.

And then, Instagram happened. Seemed novel at the time - something I made 3 hours before hittin' the road.
So OpenGL seems to loose support on the platform that helped to make it relevant again.
It uses Automatic Reference Counting like Objective C. You must avoid strong reference cycles by declaring your fields weak and optional or unowned. It has deterministic deinit.
This to me is more surprising than Swift. But it will make for difficult platform decisions. But since there are 4 game platforms already working on it (Unreal hasn't committed) maybe it's not a bad idea at all.
What tiling manage, theme and icon package do you use to get a GTK3 look? I currently use Awesome WM and Gnome 2.X.
Yeah, it's really weird to see this pattern repeat again and again. Google has a few flagship products that get proper attention, but everything else...I just don't understand how it even gets developed in the first place, if they don't have a small team to continue working on it post-release.
I reluctantly don't jailbreak my iPhone/iPad despite that I of course want shell, emacs, Perl, etc on all my devices.

This is because I want to feel safe with my i.* things while using my bank applications and buying stuff from iTunes.
Oh I see. I frequently use a second monitor and there are times when some app will open or show that really had no reason to. This tends to happen when I do ⌘+tab. On the other hand, window navigation for me has been fairly decent.

Not totally sure how Metal and OpenGL ES interact yet. Need to read more...
Fanstatic is pretty close: http://www.fanstatic.org/
Not really. On iOS you can't/don't overlap windows, so its design language never had to describe this relationship.

One of the questions floating around for the past few months was whether the next OSX would go in a flatter direction, and if so how they would cue window overlaps. It looks like the answers are (a) yes and (b) using roughly the same shadowing as before, plus translucence.
Basically, he just came up with something using FP that was more demo-able than somewhat hacky things people were already doing in other languages/environments. (For which, he deserves tons of credit.)
Nah, mobile has forced some level of sanity on us, and flat has curbed some of the worst design excesses. The 2008 web was worse for usability (though the 2003 web was probably better).
Yup: Uptime. In the face of a box rebooting unexpectedly because it's a VPS. In the face of a data center experiencing connectivity issues. In the face of Hurricane Sandy's big brother.
Oration - Foster City, CA - Full Time, Intern

We are a seed funded startup passionate about tackling our nation's rising health care costs by eliminating waste in how health care products are bought. We've analyzed data from some of the largest employers in the US and have found that a significant portion of the $28 trillion spent in health care each year goes to inefficiencies in purchasing. Together with some of the largest retailers in the US, we are building a solution that revolutionizes how individuals and companies buy healthcare products.

We’re searching for a seasoned front end engineer to help lead our front end dev efforts. Come join us in building awesome user experiences for both web and mobile using AngularJS, Play and Postgres. Our small, dedicated group of designers and engineers (there's 8 of us) care equally about good design (visual and technical), having a good time and solving this national problem.

We're also searching for a summer/fall/winter software engineering intern to join our team as well.

Email techjobs@oration.com if interested or with any questions.
> You can even buy locks that will unlock with bluetooth but that makes me paranoid.

Honestly, locks are so easy to pick that something with Bluetooth would probably be much more secure. A lock stops people from randomly walking into your house but anyone who actually cared about getting in would have no trouble.
Good point. I have never used passbook. The airlines I fly offer their own shitty QR code through web browser solution which I have to screenshot in case I lose the page and can't load it again.

Hopefully HealthKit will integrate well enough with third party hardware that you can do a lot of the stuff yourself and then bring the data to your doctor when you need to.
Ye gods, is this the end of Chicago?
It'll be available for all devices supported by iOS 8, so going back to iPhone 4S.

The runtime of Swift is also the runtime of Objective-C, but the runtime might need some upgrades to fully support the Swift semantics in a safe manner.

EDIT: Correction. It's available also on iOS 7. Just confirmed by Apple. Great :)

And what would you like to change in MacBook Air in terms of design? The only thing I can think of are very minor, evolutionary changes, but other than that, this machine is perfect (or very close to it) for what it stands for - very portable computer. On the other hand, there's plenty to do around the OS X.
Indeed. Luckily C++11 took care of the issue on the C++ side.

They have a concept of implicit/explicit "external parameter names".
Anything that provides access to GPU command queues is welcome. It's been clear for a while that OpenGL and D3D are ill-suited to modern ways about thinking about GPUs. This also explicitly supports multithreaded clients, each with their own command queues.

The shading language appears to be precompiled (which is sorely missing from OpenGL) and based somewhat on C++11.

My concern is drivers: drivers for video cards on OS X haven't been as good as Windows drivers. That, and of course the specter of another platform-specific API. This invites a comparison with Mantle. I don't think either Metal or Mantle will "win", but they're good prototypes for the next generation of GPU APIs.
Really, what does android have on ios that mainstream user would want?
No, no, I don't object to your comment. You're just not the only person I've seen making the comparison to Golang, and so I had a big comment bottled up. :)
I don't know much Python, but swift seems to be aiming more in that direction than ruby or js for instance.

On the superficial level, the use of line breaks to separate statement (although ; can also be used), on the deeper level the is an accent on accessibility and no non sense behaviour, where other language might have made more compromises on readability for instance.
You can still use OpenGL directly. I believe Metal is aimed more at engines, so they aren't providing an abstraction of an abstraction of a system call.
Yes. They even have ranges in the patterns inside tuples. Not sure if any other language has that particular syntax.
I interested in how wearable companies use this. If they give up their data to Apple that removes a large barrier for users to adopt a different wearable company(or apples own product). On the other hand users might demand their current wearable product work with the health app.
