> I note the author is Jean-Louis Gassee

Yeah, not sure why anyone is interested in what Gassee has to say. He used to be "head of Apple's advanced product development", but was forced out for failing to deliver.[1]

Also, he should get the small details right. He claims in the article

The x86 nickname used to designate Wintel chips
originates from the 8086 processor introduced
in 1978 – itself a backward-compatible extension
of the 8088…)

This is exactly backwards. The 8086 was first, ahead of the 8088. Not sure why Gassee even felt he needed to throw that detail into the article (unless he's getting paid by the word), but if he's going to say it, he should at least check Wikipedia first.[2]

I'm surprised to see people focused on the "local yokel" part, but I make no apologies for it. I got involved with local investors once and they a) took forever to make a decision b) withdrew from the term sheet signed deal due to their own disorganization and c) in retrospect, had no experience or networks that would have helped get the business going and at worst would have pestered me constantly. It was exactly the kind of money an entrepreneur should not want or take.

And real investors know this. You can find all sorts of "made" folks writing about how an early local deal killed the ability of the startup to raise follow on rounds or of investors causing more trouble for founders than they're worth.

This is one reason accelerators have been so successful: transparency, consistency, and a matra of active help, not hindrance
> It would be worse in almost every aspect.

I don't see any explanation in your comment of how any of those aspects would be worse.

You say "Apple wouldn't profit much more from the switch" because of the volume discounts they get from Intel, but you don't cite exactly how much of a discount they get, and you still concede that Apple's own ARM chips might have a lower cost.

You say "battery life would go up a bit," and seem to imply that it could be up to 20%, which in my opinion is massive.

And you don't address size.

How then are any of those aspects worse? Even under your own seemingly pessimistic estimates, cost and battery life would improve.

I think I recall a discussion about this early on, on the thread for the game on TIGSource. I think he asked what would be the best way to write down the date in numerical format without being ambiguous, given that different places swap day and month. I think he ended up using YYYY/MM/DD because when you start with a year, the other two are usually interpreted as month and day. I think he only wanted to use one format, that was way before all of these localization headaches. He probably left it like that after localization because he didn't want to create more problems.
I agree that a huge value of a school is learning from your peers, but I personally think homework is one of the most important parts of school also. That's honestly where I learned most of what I did in college.
Public prosecutors who become District / State Attorneys and acquire a high-profile can also go on to become Governor of the state [0]. Governors then get a chance to run for President. After retirement as President, you can pretty much write your own paycheck.

The man to keep an eye on at the moment is Preet Bharara, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York [1], who has taken on New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in a dogfight just 3 months before Cuomo seeks re-election [2]. Cuomo himself was a assistant district attorney in New York City before running for Governor [4].

American lawyers, once they are barred, can immediately go to the any court they are barred in. In England, it seems like it is quite the process before you are allowed to court. I assume that overall both Americans and Brits end up being similarly qualified. Americans just get more up front education before they get paid. Brits have to "pupil" with a barrister for a while before they can go to court; repeating myself, Americans have no such requirement.

I started a programme at my son's primary school to teach rudimentary programming skills using Computercraft, but ultimately found the Minecraft environment proved too distracting for the children. Supervised, they did absolutely fine, and Computercraft essentially provides a Logo like environment using a modern programming language which is superb. Computercraft is engaging, and setting up tasks for the kids to perform with the turtles was instructive and fun. Left to their own devices however, the children were more inclined to just mess around in the sandbox. I still think Computercraft can be a useful tool for an educator, but it absolutely requires supervision and guided learning.
light bot is looking great and has certainly come a long way! I was inspired by an earlier version to make a similar game that revolves around events and forking. If you have a modern browser (webgl 1.0) you can try an early version here http://moaijs.moaiforge.com/progrocket/index.html

I don't think this is very useful for cycling in cities anyways. It's perfect
for road cyclists, though.

* In cities, I always expect cars to be behind me, and cars expect cyclists

* There is more protection from wind in cities, so the chance that I can hear
those cars is higher. Outside the city it's more dangerous. When going
downhill at more than 50 km/h, or on a flat stretch with side winds, the
chance that I can hear cars behind me is close to zero.

* The speed limit in cities is lower

Of interest to me is if this trend will or even is still continuing now that we don't rely on the slow communication and transportation methods of the past. I'm currently working for a company slightly past "startup stage" with a bunch of smart people in as rural a location as you can get in the North East and we constantly fly out and teleconference with big partners and clients in San Francisco without much or any net price/hassle if you factor in all the cost/time/stress savings of our location.

It seems to me this product attempts to address the exact scenario you are talking about:

It blinks more intensively when cars are approaching (road riding) and much less so when their are none nearby (bike path).
Indeed, if it's not readable when you're typing it, it's probably not readable when you've posted it.
Often. Why would you type endlessly long lines in
a browser text area without inserting the occasion
new-line to aid readability in that text area?

I've seen people do this. I start to get anxious,
wondering when they will ever hit the return key,
wondering why they don't. I simply don't understand
why people do that.

Why don't you? You don't expect CR/LF in HTML to

Completely agree - any work on 3D algorithms seems particularly prone to this (presumably due to funding sources?)

I once went so far as to email the author of a paper to ask for their implementation of a Minkowski 3D hull algorithm, and they point blank refused. Now I don't believe I'm entitled to this of course, it's just strange you can claim something in a paper and for it to not be reproducible.

Oddly I think it's the triviality of sharing implementations that make them more guarded.

There is such an obvious bias in the data to Western Europeans and North Americans that I wonder at the hubris displayed in titling this as "Humanity's cultural history".
This is a very clever game and I had lots of fun playing with it, but it seems to be a dead end in terms of the size and complexity of programs that you can create. A similar, but more versatile teaching language is Logo[1], implemented way back in 1967. Logo's "turtle graphics"[2] have similar primitives, such as "FORWARD 100" or "LEFT 90"[3], but the numerical arguments let you create much more complex patterns, and named procedures let you create programs that are much easier to understand than just "P1" and "P2".

I think this product would be well served by alerting the user about car distance through some channel other than visual. When biking all visual attention should be focused forward, and the extra information sensed by this device could be delivered through some form of haptic feedback.

If you're arguing that they can't actually shut them down, I get that--but they denied access to their data. That's my major complaint--padmapper put a nice UI layer on craigslist data and they made them turn it off.
I think you might have misunderstood what cutspel is trying to achieve. This is the same thing as what NYT did by choosing a different spelling - that is to reform English spelling through familiarity with a new spelling. It worked for theater so why not other words.

The text on the page after modification by cutspel is still English - just more rationaly spelt.
>are code-observable: e.g. the deferred array copying decision discussed in the critique: if your code depends on a behavior, you'll get different results on the other platform.

I don't see how the "deferred array copying" ever leak to the program you write. Copy-on-write and such is a classic example of implementation detail that the higher layer is not concerned about.
>There is more protection from wind in cities

The opposite can also be true.

The transition also worked because they had done it before. NEXTSTEP was already running on several CPU architectures (both big- and little-endian) including x86 before Apple even entered the picture. Undoubtedly Mac OS X is already running on ARM in Apple's labs.

I don't think boot camp/Windows virtualization is relevant. I don't know anyone who uses these features on their Macs. I'm sure there are people for whom this is a make-or-break capability, but it may be that Apple thinks that at this point, they are expendable.

Processor speed means a lot less than it used to. Even processors from half a decade ago are more than fast enough for what most people do with a computer.

> Which would mean buying Intel or AMD

Apple could afford to buy Intel, but antitrust considerations would probably prevent that from happening.

Apple could buy AMD, but the Intel/AMD x86 cross license probably terminates in a "change of control" situation. Which might mean a restart of the Intel/AMD lawsuits of years gone by.

I appreciate the point the writer is trying to make, although I wouldn't exactly consider Vim the bastion of usability. It's incredibly expressive though and once you learn a few rules you can wield a whole lot of power. I'd like to see more of this kinda setup in other programs.
I have both Android versions and although my 5-year-old is pretty intelligent, I find the game too hard for him, i.e. sometimes I need to help him and often I have hard time myself, too.
I've never used a service, but even if you do, I recommend "How to Form Your Own California Corporation" (http://www.nolo.com/products/how-to-form-your-own-california...) from Nolo for a good overview of the process if you're incorporating in California. It's not really very hard to do all the required filings yourself.

If you're planning to look for venture funding, you need guidance beyond what's covered in this book, but it's still a good intro.
I don't get how this works. The only dangerous situations that you can't prevent right now are a car coming from around a blind corner or a car that wants to turn while you go straight. In the former case you'd need to look around the corner, something I can't imagine how it would do. In the latter case it would need to magically know when a car, which might or might not have been close to you for the last mile, suddenly decides to turn, and far enough in advance that you can react to it. That too seems impossible without something to detect a turning light.

Maybe I'm missing something by watching the video without sound (I'd wake people up if I did), but it just doesn't seem possible to me to help in any way. Detecting that there is a car behind me at all is something we commonly do with a utility called "ears".
Confirmation bias can be a huge problem but I'm not sure the methods outlined in the article do much to prevent it. For example, the (guest) author indicates he relies on the given blog for a source of unbiased information and then goes on to say that the blog often links back to his own website, to articles that he has found to be his most useful and informative.

He then comes to the conclusion that this demonstrates the quality of the aforementioned blog. Besides being circular reasoning, is this not a source of confirmation bias in and of itself?
Admittedly, because i'm lazy and don't think about formatting posts unless i'm posting code, which is a bad habit. But still, every time I do hit enter in this textbox, it should create a newline in the formatted post.

My $80 Manhattan Portage bag has lasted six years so far. It's made of Cordura, not canvas, so it's essentially indestructible.

I'm not sure there's any reason I would buy the bag from OP rather than one from a more established manufacturer. The construction (waxed canvas) and detailing (leather straps) also strike me as incredibly trendy. This kind of bag has become quite popular in the last few years, but will likely not stay popular for a decade.
Agreed. I usually like JLGs commentary, but he's no expert on processor technology, and this time his analysis falls short.
> I wonder if this will mean the end of Flash Player for Mac?

You say that like it's a bad thing.

I wish Flash on Mac would die die die. Youtube has the ability of showing me non-flash video on a Mac. And yet they often won't. The exact same video that won't play on a Mac will play just fine on an iPad. Evil bastards! With Flash dead, Google wouldn't be able to demand I use it.
I'd wager most people with a need for running windows on a mac do it to run some "legacy" win32/win64 binary application (and not just iexplore.exe or msword.exe), so an "ARM Windows Bootcamp" mode probably wouldn't solve anyone's problem.
I like this! I cycle in SF. This device could alert me when a car turns onto the street behind me.
Let's break this down. You've called drafting migrant workers from third world countries defensible because they are paid more than in third world countries, and you used the euphemism "available pool of talent" to describe base rate unskilled labour.

What happens to these people if they have an accident? I'm willing to bet they don't get invited to a Singaporean hospital and kept on for two years while they recover. What happens if they want to form a labour union? I'm willing to bet their visa is not renewed. What happens if they have an argument with an employer? I'm willing to bet they're sent packing immediately with no opportunity to find alternative work or access social services. These are only basic examples of security that people deserve in equal measure. A society that relies upon the exploitation of others is not a sustainable or just society, even if everyone in town agrees not to mention or think about the reality of the situation or if there are worse places in the world.

This is your expectation. It is not my expectation. I do not believe that every time one hits enter in the text box it should create a newline in the formatted post.

MEEP is typically used in the nanophotonics community for simulating things metamaterials, photonic crystals, and waveguides. All of which can be thought of as optical antennas.
What does a “launch specialist” do? Does it really take $250,000 to hire someone in this role on a short term contract?

My advice for what it is worth is it really depends on what you want to achieve.
Usually they are not. It's more expensive.
The primary focus of Meep is simulating the interaction of light with Photonic Crystals (periodic materials that control light based on both their shape and composition).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photonic_crystal

http://ab-initio.mit.edu/wiki/index.php/Meep_Tutorial/Band_d...

You may have heard of optical metamaterials (aka "invisibility cloaks"). They are sometimes made with photonic crystals, but photonic crystals aren't always considered metamaterials. Butterfly wing coloring is a good example.
You are obviously doing it wrong. Some person with a .io domain who didn't test either editor-and-toolchain or QtCreator says so.
Not only a single feature. Developer tools are worse in almost everything. Last time I used them (few weeks ago) I wanted to throw my rig throught a window after few minutes. Firebug saved the day.
It depends on the application. FEM software like COMSOL and CST Studio is typically used for simulating individual antennas. FDTD software like Lumerical is more popular for simulating metamaterials, which are basically large periodic arrays of sub-wavelength antennas.
I speculate (with no inside information on this matter) that Intel has known for some time that Apple is switching to ARM. Last fall Intel shut its Waterloo site[1] which had been doing X86 LLVM work. Apple is the one big influential Intel customer using X86 LLVM, so there's only one way that makes sense.

Maybe that's what attracted Napoleon.
You're actually wrong with regards to the branch prediction. the A7 is (according to anandtech [1]) closest to the "big processor" designs that intel makes with aggressive branch prediction (massive issue width, huge branch prediction buffer, huge caches).

No, paying for it is irrelevant. Something along the lines of claiming that keeping the binaries inside the infra means that it isn't distributed. However, they do allow some odd access with authenticated requests called something like 'git-reference-source' which provides some. Details are a little hazy.
