iWatch may win out on functionality and user experience etc.,
but it just looks funky.

As Gruber pointed out, "Everyone else has gone skeuomorphic." I think he makes a terrible point since there are a severely limited set of possibilities for putting a small screen on your wrist and since existing watches have more than exhausted those possibilities.

I agree about the Moto-360: whatever its faults, it looks nice. I understand that the watch on my wrist right now is round because of the sweep of the dials, but it's also pleasant looking. What I find exciting about the Android side of the equation is that [in a couple of years] we'll probably have a crazy range of watches from which to select. Grab a Tag Heuer Android watch with replaceable innards or maybe a few cheap Fossils for variety.

Snabb and DPDK aren't magic though. Because they poll you have to dedicate a whole core to the vSwitch. Containers are a different case than VMs because the packets start in the kernel TCP/IP stack; to get into a userspace vSwitch they'd have to exit the kernel.
>> "IMO, watch is supposed to notify you new things, have you glance over it and do some quick responding. That's it. User should not use watch in the same way they use phone."

Not enough people will pay several hundred dollars for that. I'm a geek and heavy smartphone user and I wouldn't pay $50 just to get notifications on my wrist. It needs to do more or there's only a small market.

Since you're fairly young, you should observe your older coworkers.

Find mentors at various stages of life. Talk to them, figure out what worked for them and what didn't. And why they're there.

If you don't like what you're hearing, take a counter-strategy. At a previous job, I noticed most of my coworkers were out of shape, divorced, and unhappy. Also completely out of touch with technology.

I did the opposite and I got out after a year or so.

Hope this advice helps in some fashion.

Well, I don't see the eww factor in sharing a number. But then I also don't see the point, because the sensor will (just as the Motorola one) not reliably work when exercising and theres no tracking mechanism anyway.

(There are optical heart rate sensors that are made for exercise, and they have much brighter LEDs and specially designed case for shutting out exterior light)
I think if you talked to a counselor that might help, the problem you express is not a-typical, you are treating life as a series of objectives and that isn't what life is about.

So stop achieving objectives and start answering questions. Pick a question, any question, and answer it. If you need a starter question ask this one "What is the difference between a life well spent, and one that is wasted?" There are a number of written works where the authors have talked about the answer. read at least six if them, do you agree with any of them? all of them? What do you disagree with? Why? Answer that question. Continue until you die.
I agree. I think the appearance of the watch is more important than the UX. You might interact with it for 10 minutes out of a day, but it'll be on your wrist for the whole day. The utility of the watch has long passed from telling the time to being a fashion accessory.
$350 and not out until "early 2015"

Dead in the water. That's insanely expensive and too late in the smartwatch market in my mind.
I've never had that issue with bouncers to be honest. In fact the whole point of bouncers is to:

1: hide your IP (moot point if you're hosting your own bounce though. And a lot of IRC networks hide your IP for you anyway)

2: offer a way of keeping your history

3: store your unread messages server side.

4: keep all your clients and states synchronised

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with a web client (in fact I'm tempted to try the one submitted here). But I think there's a lot of misconceptions about bounces too.

In an ideal world I'd use both; have a web client connect to ZNC. So I can log onto the IRC client when a guest on someone's PC (eg cybercafe) but also have the ability to use native clients from the same nick for when I'm sat on my own laptop or on my phone (there's some half decent native Android IRC clients)
Failing to mention yacc or bison is a bit much.

Some languages (notably Pascal, and now, I think, Go) are designed for LL parsing without lookahead. C and its descendants require lookahead.

The error reporting problem for syntax-directed parsers comes mostly from the difficulty of recovering from errors in batch compilations. If you simply stop at the first error, reasonable error reporting is possible. Getting back on track is a heuristic problem dependent on the kinds of errors users make. There have been syntax-directed systems with error clauses in the syntax definition to hint how to get back on track, but that never caught on.
I can see it as being slightly useful to monitor heart rate and piloting the mp3 player, occasionally. But certainly not worth the cost and the burden (one more device to recharge and carry around). Also, a watch is a personal item. I wouldn't like to have the same watch as everybody else.

I wonder if they'll find a market for this.
Apple Watch has NFC - now that is something none of the Android watches have. Don't pull your phone or wallet out, pay with your wrist. But by early 2015, Android Wear will catch up.
Maybe I'm missing the point with these new devices, but I can't be the only one not interested in ever wearing a watch again.
Too bad about it requiring a phone. I was hoping to be able to ditch my phone and talk with a watch paired to a blue tooth headset. I'll keep dreaming.
"Watch", "Watch Edition", "Watch Sport" - The bad Chinese knockoffs already have their naming taken care of...
I think the Moto 360 looks great in pictures but IRL the screen is too large, the black bar at the bottom is irritating and the UI isn't custom for the round watch face (the square interface is just cut out).
I just don't think the watch market is really there. I feel like its shrinking steadily among younger people as the need for a time teller is replaced by the modern cell phone. I believe people have convinced themselves into convincing companies that they actually want a high tech wrist watch when, in reality, the market isn't that big and it is shrinking. I believe this whole craze started with the pebble. People see and think "cool", but then realize after a week of wearing it that they have no additional need being filled by it. There are of course exceptions (joggers for example might be a specific use case), but overall I think demand is lower than the current market saturation.

Also it requires an iPhone.
It's going to remain a fundamental problem for the smart watch market: watches are primarily fashion items, and every single person has an often quite different preference from the next person. I have a very specific style of watch I like to wear, and there's zero chance Apple or Samsung is just going to happen to make that style.

That said, I'm sure they can sell millions of watches per year. It's just not going to move the needle on their $170 billion in sales.

I think even now, the smart watch market is very, very, very early. As in, these products are ten years too early, at least. The technology needs to get so small, the watch stays primarily what it will always be about: fashion, and the technology becomes so small, cheap, and hidden away you don't notice that first and it doesn't get in the way of the primary role of a watch.
IMO, the scrollwheel should have never gone away! This seems different though. They call is a "Crown" and it rotates parallel to the side of the watch, rather than perpendicular like the Blackberry wheel. Not sure how natural that will feel.
This has always been the case. Either setup VLC so http live streaming (which is JUST a m3u playlist of mp4 files that get downloaded in succession) or install safari.

No talk of water resistance or battery life is pretty disappointing. Those two things are key for something I would like to keep on my wrist for as long as possible.
Church Numerals
I like the idea, except that I'm left handed, and wear watches on my right hand. So turning the dial won't be very convenient for me.
I wonder what the experience will be like for left-handed people. Can the watch be rotated to have the dial on the opposite side?
It's actually less than a year old -- but I think that point is more important...

the Docker.io team is forcing their way into the Linux community egregiously fast by being everywhere in every discussion always, sometimes even spreading fud about things their product might do in the future... and... their project is barely a year old now yet calls itself "enterprise ready". The Linux community really needs to pump the breaks on this one...
Is that not how it works?

As someone who uses the NikeFuel, I've gotta say this watch is COMPLICATED.
Ugly. It looks like something from the 1980s. What happened to the beautiful minimilistic design?

I can imagine Roger Moore and Christopher Walken wearing one in "A View To A Kill".

One day you'll cherish the day you realized you were ordinary.

Think about all the people who run, run, run, all their lives, chasing some fantastic dream of success (whatever that means), only to retire slightly wealthy and die of a stroke 2 weeks later. They never got that insight, and they lost their entire lives for it.

That's very disingenuous. Amazon, PayPal and Google rely on selling your data and selling you products based on your data to make money. Visa, Mastercard and Amex mostly rely on transaction processing fees, and make extra money on the data processing in a very limited way.

What Apple are doing is removing the middleman, purely making this about transactions, not data. This means they're avoiding selling private information as a revenue stream.

This affects you, it causes a filter bubble http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filter_bubble and means you're effectively less free to make a truly informed decision.

So not sharing your private information by default, is fundamental to your freedom. That's why we should all care, and why this is a great decision by Apple.
$350? That's fairly pricey!
> I'm arguing that when a person who advertises themselves online as being in HR and gives talks about HR, it's plausible that people might perceive them as being in HR for non-sexist reasons.

But again, the situation isn't "someone looked at my website and thought I was a recruiter" or "someone saw that I was doing hiring consulting and thought I was a recruiter".

It's giving a talk which is talking in depth about technical topics, far more so than the vast majority of recruiters could do, and then having someone say, "So when you were a recruiter at Google..."

This is just one little example. Not a big deal. Except that things like this happen all the time. You can't just continue to brush them off as "oh, well, it was just because you do this other stuff that the person didn't even know about."
I am sure they are the best for such jobs in the future - they won't screw up next time :)
yup. I keep my phone on vibrate in my pocket; the fundamental question they have to answer is why the hell do I need to pay $400 just to get notifications on my wrist? I presume the answer is look at all this cool stuff too! fitness / ui tracking, quick interactions, etc

The Internet’s DIY brain hackers
It sounds like you're burned out. Possibly, from spending way too much time in front of your computer. You need to find some other interests, there is more to life than writing code.
makes perfect sense to me. People wear watches these days for 1. fashion 2. status symbol (see omega, longines etc)

this just covers the status symbol portion of the market
I rather prefer the Garmin Fit. Battery life is almost a year. It does only 2 things: whether I am active enough and sleeping enough. Do we really need to have notifications on the watch. Not sure. May be i am too old.
There is no mass smartwatch market at the moment. There are some smartwatches that sells in very small amount to niche audience but there is no mass market and I doubt one will exist until the end of the year. It's like 2005 for smartphones - there were some smartphones in the market but they were pretty bad and definitely not for everyone.
That's because all a watch did up to now was tell time, was wasn't enough to justify hanging one off your wrist unless you wished to signal your fashion sense/wealth. This watch does an awful lot more and appears to do it very very well. They'll sell by the truckload.
You might be right, but do bear in mind that almost exactly the same thing was said about the iPhone.

I have to imagine that if third-party apps make good use of the features and interface, it'll be quite a useful device to have. The fact that you can make NFC payments with it is cool.
I'd recommend listening to this talk by Tina Seelig (head of the entrepreneurship program at Stanford):

> got a job that starts in a few weeks

I don't mean to be harsh, but there are recent grads like me don't have a job yet...I did spent a few months just sitting home and think hard about what projects I want to work on. But getting a job by passing interviews has proven to be difficult for me...

> However, I haven't had any unique (at least a little bit) ideas in months, and it's killing me.

Everyone have ideas. I have tons of start-up ideas and cool open source project ideas. I think the main problem I have is I am bad with front-end. But I am starting to implementing some of them by just writing the backend first.

But you will benefit from having a job. Trust me. I will love to have a job because there are always some problems to solve, instead of sitting by myself all day. Personally, I like making tools. So whether i work in a startup or not, there are always chances I can launch a new tool to improve the existing procedure. Writing internal tools MAY not be my main job in the future, but it can be a hobby and a way to promotion and recognition. It can even be open-sourced :).

Don't be so nervous :) I hope the best for you.
Sure but for a Government being able to function depends on you being able to take their word to have at least some value. They have committed to this. I think it is reasonable to assume they will stick to it. Yes governments break promises, but I think this is one they will stick with.
The Apple Watch
> simply exercised restraint

that is the main point. Any country escalating a conflict outside the war zone would pay a heavy price that would make it not worth it. They wouldn't win the war that way, they'd lose it. It is not their good will, it is just their desire to win, not lose. Bombing Argentina outside of war zone would pit Great Britain against whole world - a loosing position, or not-wining at the very least. You wanna fight - take it outside and everybody is happy.
Me personally, I don't see myself ever wearing a watch, but if I was, I would be annoyed about that crown thing being on the right side of the watch.

As a more or less leftie, wearing a purely non interactive element on the left hand as it is custom for watches is ok, but having to interact with that crown thing using my right hand feels wrong.

I could probably get used to it, but then, I can doost things with both hands, but I can imagine some left handed people having trouble with this (or obscuring their display when using it with the left hand)

This is perfectly normal.

If you're feeling a moment of "that's it", if that's what you're feeling means you can aim higher.

One of the main things not taught in school is it's not about what your degree makes of you but what you make ofyour degree.

It's important though to appreciate opportunity, be humble, work hard and work on building discipline and consistency in improving what you do.

Learning that we're not special, not because we're not unique, but because everyone's special is a valuable lesson of my 20's.

By saying things aren't right here and now yoy may be implying you are done learning and where are the results. I'd say you have quite a bit more learning and experience gathering to do beyond what the echo chamber of funded startups allows.

Again, this is perfectly normal, and attracts intelligent people to figure out this gap for themselves. This opportunity is the gift. The startup of you is the most valuable startup because it will be present in everything you do, and those things you do, become destinations you stopped off at along the way.

If I could tell myself something at 21, it would be to shut up like I did, be thankful for any opportunity, learn twice as fast to get half the respect, become four times as good to get equal respect to folks twice my age, and then become eight times as good to get ahead of where I want to be.

No one said an extraordinary life doesn't take extraordinary effort in the right ways. Being aware of what you just wrote is really important.

Feel free to get in touch if you like, I have a similar story to yours plus some things that I got lucky with.
Three things:

1. No word on battery. This has been a huge problem for other (sometimes larger) watches. Does it have to be charged daily?

2. More expensive than the competition ($350 Vs. $250 and $150, for the Galaxy Gear+Moto 360/Pebble+Sony Smartwatch).

3. They release in "early 2015" so miss this Christmas holiday season which MIGHT negatively impact adoption (or not, dunno).

4. iPhone only. I understand their reasoning but this will definitely limit adoption somewhat (not really too surprising however).

The battery question is the biggest ??? hanging over this. A watch that can barely last a day (e.g. Moto 360) is a huge negative to a lot of people, myself included.

That's one area where the Pebble really excelled. With its eInk display, the screen was always "on" and it would run for several days on a single charge. We need a combination LCD/eInk panel to get the best of both.
Laughing out loud here because this was exactly my internal dialog as I tried to tune in. You nailed it -- Apple definitely did not.

No "visible" Apple logo? Now, that's strange.

There should be a scrollbar on the bottom (I kept the commands on one line, rather than splitting with "\"). Might not be on mobile, though? In other words, the code-boxes should have overflow:scroll or something to that effect.
Act I: The Setup

In this the protagonist discovers he is special, exceptional. He devotes time to thinking and researching career goals and world-changing ideas. Dreaming of reification and being lauded as the (Gauss|Galois|Mozart) of his generation, the present may be bleak, but the future is glorious.

Act II: The Crisis

In this, the protagonist discovers that he is challenged for his position. Others, caught up in the race of life, don't look deeply to see his talent, and communion with the muses is precious only as long as it relates to engineering goals. He is human, suffering financial and relational setbacks, feeling the muses have deserted him and he is fully mortal after all.

Act III: The Resolution

In this, the protagonist discovers he is not alone. Others around him, few to be sure, are equally talented and working to achieve their purpose. Perhaps he's at the 99.9th percentile and realizes there are still 6 million contemporaneous peers. Einstein, Crick, and Jobs all went through this before their breakthroughs. The protagonist finds a passion, gives it his heart and soul, and achieves Movement I of his life story.
I would like to name individual "bodies," the ability to zoom in and out, and maybe even a mathematical readout of some sort. The values behind trajectory, etc.
That exact comment has been said about every new Apple hardware product over the last 15 years.
I'm with you. A watch just gets in the way of the keyboard and mouse.
I think the watch as a phone accessory is a waste of time. Developed countries are still selling dumbphones like crack, the number of people who want a smartphone with a 2nd, expensive interface to it is probably pretty boring.

But these are going somewhere interesting - they could end up replacing phones, 4g sticks / hotspots, usb sticks etc.
Most activity in a gym benefits from a watch. I weight train and I already know the app I want for this.

ps -- I don't bring my phone because (1) the gym is gross, (2) I sweat like a pig, (3) I don't want to kill it; I bruise myself enough that between bars, plates, dumbbells, kettlebells, etc, there is 0% chance I wouldn't smash it. My wrist just doesn't get smacked as much as my pocket / upper thighs.
Phoronix does try to be honest about its methodology, but the person running benchmarks gives no thought to what his results mean, if anything. It shows in the distinct lack of documentation on why a given benchmark matters.

As for Phoronix's ZFS benchmarks, the test hardware used drives that misreported themselves as having 512-byte sectors, which handicapped ZFS performance. Phoronix rejected all suggestions that it correct for this as end-users had been doing. Phoronix refused to meet half way by posting two results (one with proper configuration and one without), and also refused the suggestion that it to mention the existence of that problem in its test hardware. I eventually wrote code to identify drives known to misreport their sector sizes so that ZFS will automatically use the correct settings on them. That lead to the Phoronix August 2013 benchmarks showing a remarkable improvement in ZFS performance in FIO. It was so great that it sparked a discussion among the btrfs developers:

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/2754...

Later that month, I publicly criticized Phoronix for posting misleading benchmarks:

Phoronix has not posted ZFS benchmarks since that time.
I'll take that bet: https://twitter.com/BenedictEvans/status/509092715783401472

Also, I'm guessing that the "Edition" watches are going to sell for 10x that. And there'll be a months-long wait to get one.
