> I quite like [Upstart] versus SysV init scripts.

Have you tried systemd service files yet? They're quite nice to work with. I haven't written Upstart's equivalent, so I only know what those are like second-hand, but I imagine if ease of creating a service is a major factor you'll be pleasantly surprised by systemd.
It shortens an https:// link to http://, and it also shortens invalid links.

Trying to add a js alert I noticed the preview allows arbitrary html to display, but the end result was useless - http://xiv.in/ZW4NL and trying different schemes caused http to be prepended to the url by default.

I would suggest trying to validate the urls, and at least attempting to connect and get a response once before hashing them. This will at least result in less junk in your database (or wherever you're storing them) if you dump invalid links altogether.
Apple's Gross Profit[1], as of June 2014 is about $76B. A 10% cut translates to $7.6B per year (as of today, probably more in the future). It's a huge load if you ask me.

Did you stop and think why he is the team leader and not you? Maybe having a deeper understanding of something is more important than playing with multiple things at once.

Always switching technologies will get you only basic knowledge in each of them. Going past the surface requires daily use and years of constant evolution. That's how you become an expert in something. Deeper understanding. Not broader.

What a degenerate display of "hacking." Some man (or a group, whatever) gives the Internet something remarkable and a bit historic, but wishes to remain anonymous.

So instead of respecting that wish we have people like this, also wishing to remain anonymous, attempting to hunt this man to shake him down for payment using that man's own creation!

That's closer to repugnance than to irony in my book.

> I'd argue that modal behavior isn't a bad thing so long as those modes are very clearly distinguished.

I suppose that's the problem - making a mode intuitive isn't universal to all people, which is why sometimes we design things and hand it to someone else who is completely baffled by what seemed to be intuitive.
The latest version of the Zeus IDE has been released

Swift has GCD and NSOperationQueue which work well. Why marry yourself to that functionality if you can externalize it with the potential to change it in the future?

In that case you shouldn't sell. The buyer might promise you everything, but once the deal is done, he will make his own calls, implement his own vision.

UI/UX in general is extraordinarily complex. I think we can all agree on that.

With something as complex and data-driven as air flight, managing a UI will always be complex as a result. As any given control needs to be available at any given moment, you cannot obfuscate too much in the interest of cleanliness.

With all that said, this issue is still not a UI issue, but a training issue and perhaps also an issue with a lack of standards (I'm assuming, not in flight) with jet UI. Even with poor UI, understanding what you're changing and verifying it should boil down to training.

Based on this article, it seems like there's a lack of continuity between aircraft in where controls are, and I wonder if there's ever been any push for standardization. I realize not all craft could be complete mimics, but general controls and indicators should be in the same general area, right?
Projects like that are usually made between friends and aren't really expected to become THAT big. Plus, it doesn't really matter, they took the guy out of the business and took away his rightful part of it. Good thing they settled.

Actually there is. One of the big selling points of Go is its ability to produce self contained binaries. Swift would share this but also be a language that is more full featured.

SIMD makes JS a better compile target. The Dart VM is still more "lightweight" (it has to generate a lot less native code) and it offers much faster startup (10x). There also aren't deoptimization traps scattered all over the place. The performance is very predictable.

As far as the VM itself is concerned, it doesn't really matter if other browser start to support Dart natively. The VM is extremely useful for development, you can embed it in native applications, and you can use it to write web servers and other command line tools.
I don't think they will "settle" for it. I think they will just make it an option to the developer to use just like on OSX and Linux.
It's exactly as you say: if anything, the obstacle with vi for new users is that its display fails to be modal.

An interesting consideration though: experienced users know to develop unstacking habits. They wouldn't need the visual indicator even if it were there. Getting out of insert mode is akin to tidying up your ropes after a tack.

However qpdf seems to have more features. The most interesting for me:

The QPDF library also makes it possible for you to create PDF files from scratch. In this mode, you are responsible for supplying all the contents of the file, while the QPDF library takes care off all the syntactical representation of the objects, creation of cross references tables and, if you use them, object streams, encryption, linearization, and other syntactic details.

Nice product. Some constructive advice - whilst naughty swear words are fine between friends and on your blog, on your product's home page it gives the impression of childishness and unprofessionalism.
They are part of the UI. That's all the question asked.
> I'm sorry... what? How is this different from Google making Google Wallet back in 2011?

Google only partnered with MasterCard, and only released in a limited number of handsets (they were all Nexus if I remember correctly). Apple partnered with Visa, MasterCard and AmEx ahead of time, as well as a dozen or so merchants, so that anyone who gets an iPhone 6 can actually use ApplePay nearly immediately without jumping through hoops or hoping they have the right handset. At least that's what I read as "broad, inclusive."

For what it's worth, I tried using GWallet when it came to my Nexus S years ago, and got the strangest look from the guy at the convenience store when I held my phone to the reader and the register marked the transaction as complete. Just because Google was first by no means did it right or best, as evidenced through us not all walking around with Androids paying for things.

Is this a rhetorical question ?

iOS is the lead platform for mobile app development. It is also by far the most lucrative both in terms of sales and the quality of the users i.e. for non-sales revenue. Hence there are going to more than a few developers on here interested in it.

We see posts all the time for Go, Rust etc. Why would Swift be any different ?

Ask HN: Will “Swift developer” ever be a job title?
Hey guys,

I keep seeing posts on Swift and I am trying to figure out what its purpose is. I know it is a new language but is it an Objective-C replacement or more of something that should/can be used alongside Objective-C? Another question, where does this leave beginners? Will job positions for junior iOS devs require Objective-C and Swift knowledge or could one get by with just Swift knowledge?
That's tricky ground you're on there. That's usually called 'lying by omission', you are technically not lying because you have uttered no untruths but you are morally in the wrong because you are withholding information that the social contract in force would expect you to disclose.

But still there is the question, did Apple took all those? I would say, it depends.

World wide, you can buy those prepaid iTunes cards to fill up your account. I do that regularly. I do this, because at least here in Germany from time to time the merchants have discounts of 25% to 30% on those cards. Thats no shady merchant, but the big brick and mortar chains.

That let me assume, that Apple is selling those cards to those merchants with about this discount.
> Even with poor UI, understanding what you're changing and verifying it should boil down to training.

Absolutely not! Yes, I want the pilots flying my plane to be as well trained as possible, but there also better damn well be a good UI in place to prevent human error, because that's the one thing we can count on, no matter how good training is or how well-intentioned people are.
If you think about it none of what you said really makes sense.

In what way is GCD not a concurrency mechanism ? And why would you port Go's channel/routine model when it is less flexible than the Actor model ? And even then what type of mobile applications require that level of concurrency ? I've built about 20 mobile apps and not once needed anything more than a few background tasks.

Raskin had a shot at building an editor along these lines but died too soon. His attempt to remove the pain of vi-style modes was by having users hold keys down to get the modal effects. As soon as you release, you're back in command mode. There's a problem with this for frequent interaction: holding down keys contributes to rsi.

A common path to fluency with vi is to live in command mode. When you type something, immediately press escape out of habit. When you want to type something new, develop a habit of pressing a/i/o with confidence that you're already in cmd mode.

If you find yourself navigating in insert mode, that's a red flag.
Nothing post-modern about Adorno or Benjamin. In fact the latter commited suicide (to not be caught by the nazis), 20+ years before the postmodern genre even came into prominense.

If Apple does it correctly, 1.0 means that there will be no backward incompatibilities until a hypothetical version 2.0.

As a user of a not yet 1.0 language (Elixir, though it has reached release candidate status), backward incompatibilities can be a pain to deal with. The reason: third-party libraries that may or may not be updated, more or less quickly.

And yet it's absolutely necessary to get things right while you design the language, because every single mistake will be carried forward practically forever: see Python 3 as to why it's really hard to fix a language...
The Risk in Sending Your Startup’s Technology Offshore
But isn't it interesting that people would find that easy to use, despite being modal? This suggests that the conclusion from the article - to avoid modes - misses the point.
Well, the Linux community does have a long history of technical decisions that later ended up biting them in the ass. HALd was retired just as it was enthusiastically adopted, as it was widely deemed an "unmaintainable mess", despite its code size being only a fraction of systemd's. There was controversy around devfsd before udev replaced it. Debian's decision to adopt libav might have made sense initially, what with it speeding up development, but it later became a detriment very quickly. The ffmpeg deprecation disclaimer was also a very ignorant move.

Finally, at the end of the day, most OEMs ship Windows. I think you're overestimating the distros a fair bit. Wide consensus doesn't always mean quality.
