I also think that with Chrome/iCloud password storing features (and what's possible in iOS8 so apps can access credentials stored against an approved website), passwords become more secure.

For years I attempted to get my parents to use 1Password (which I've used and promoted since v2), however, with OS/browser builtin password storage, they are doing much better at not reusing weak passwords.
Yosemite has been great but I still run into a few bugs here and there with iOS 8.0.2. I think they should consider decoupling hardware and software releases.

If this is true, then we're about to become locked-in to Docker's "kitchen sink" model of application packaging, where we're back to the bad old days of applications that can only run on a single platform.

So much for the portability of modern language runtimes (Ruby, Java, Python, etc), or even being able to cross-compile to other platforms.

Docker solves the wrong end of application packaging by essentially packaging up the entire damn global (and non-portable) OS environment.
I'm curious about how these web framework crates, like this and IronFramework.io, are dealing with the imminent obsoletion of rust-http. It seems rather strange to build a completely new web framework on rust-http when it will soon be completely replaced with teepee.
I second your enthusiasm for Gnome. It really is in a great place right now and is my shell of choice on Linux. But I disagree with the Yosemite criticism. Unlike Linux, OS X actually has a large degree of uniformity between third-party apps thanks to Cocoa and (historically) the human interface guidelines. Apple just can't make sweeping changes to the OS X design without severely damaging the coherence of the OS X ecosystem; design changes have to be incremental. And they're doing a pretty good job. Yosemite brings design changes specifically optimised for high-DPI (font, line weights) and a general toning down of brashness (e.g. the new dock). I imagine the new 'dark mode' (which, let's face it, will be unseen by most consumers) is just a signal of things to come; I wouldn't be surprised to see a dark set of Cocoa controls in a future release too. But it'll take time.

Honestly, I'm glad that Apple isn't being brash on the Mac. They can get away with it on iOS (the 6->7 transition) because it's such an active platform, with so much demand, that developers have put in the time and money to re-design, but a similar design transition on OS X would take much much longer and I imagine would be a lot more painful for the end user.

Well, it's kind of two-phase. If the license check fails, the Play Games server calls will fail. Which means features like multiplayer just won't work.

I agree, I get the impression that this was a temporary psychotic episode possibly triggered through sleep deprivation, heavy use of cannabis, and maybe some underlying mental condition. Schizophrenia is typically a very chronic condition and doesn't manifest as only one psychotic episode per year.

I'm no doctor, psychiatrist, or psychologist, but I think his diagnosis is probably closer to "psychosis not otherwise specified".

However, he did mention that he is still taking the anti-psychotic medication, which can indeed inhibit the effects of schizophrenia for a long period of time. If he stops taking the medication and encounters psychotic symptoms again, then it probably is schizophrenia or similar.
Well, couldn't you probably justify working out of a coworking place at least once a week?

Indeed. People need to remember the number refers roughly to the size. It's entirely possible we'll see a Nexus 5 2015 edition with updated specs, once they've milked the Christmas market with the 6.
Fair enough, OSX is still a fine operating system. My taste for change is that of early adopters so I'm at least happy Gnome is filling that void for me.
This article argues (quite persuasively IMO) that Quora should be allowing the Internet Archive to index the site. It explores the validity argument that Quora makes on its robots.txt, that indexing would prevent question respondents to later turn their answers to anonymous answers.

I agree with the author that there is a real risk of this massive cultural trove of information to be completely dis-established on the basis of a management decision or financial collapse.

A possible response from Quora qould be to offer dumps to various archives, e.g. Library of Congress. This should allow them to maintain their commercial interests.

I've had way less issues with 10.10 previews than I've had with Mavericks or Mountain Lion ones. Those actually crippled my development environments. I've had zero issues with Yosemite thus far, apart from the new features breaking at some point (iCloud Drive and the like).

I think I had a taste of psychosis after smoking too much weed one time: I totally lost the sense of time, my brain was overflowing with all kinds of thoughts and fears, had some auditory hallucinations and totally misinterpreted people's behavior (everyone suddenly seemed hostile). Then a panic attack followed and I felt stuck in some crazy time loop that would never end. That's why i don't experiment with marijuana or other psychoactive substances, the effects are too similar to a mental illness in my case.
The thing is: If you use a non-C/C++ language you'll inevitably have to interface with some C or C++ code (your OS API, whether that be POSIXish or whatever.). There can be a lot of friction/impedance mismatch at this point, especially if your language uses novel ways of managing resources and/or memory. I'm guessing this is why a lot of Application-level GUI code still gets written in C/C++, e.g. in Qt, KDE or GNOME.

"Worse is Better" is Worse in the long run, I guess.

There's no reason to have full EC2 instances running a single container—EC2 instances are containers. (And Docker images are AMIs, and fig.yml files are CloudFormation templates, and...)

You can treat EC2 instances exactly the same as you treat docker containers—attaching EBS volumes to them in the way you'd attach data volume containers, attaching ENIs like you'd publish ports, etc. You can get exactly your "atomic, full-system rollback" just by having a CF template with a template parameter for the DB AMI to start in an Autoscaling Group, and then pushing a change to that variable. (Effectively, this gives you the same semantics as using Heroku's "config:set" CLI subcommand.)

But people don't do things this way. Why? Because the different pricing models create a different system of incentives around the two ecosystems. EC2 instances are thought of, fundamentally, as machines, rather than as application containers. There are adapters meant to make their usability for such more clear (e.g. Elastic Beanstalk), but in doing so they expose the relative absurdity of the VM pricing model.
Please stop with the "tech bro" vs "real people" inverse snobbery.

And don't try to stir up class warfare. This is a misunderstanding about the booking of a football field.
I've had 6+ since release and I can honestly say I've not had a single problem with it. I am heavy user and iOS developer myself. So yeah ... no idea how you get so many supposed issues.

Is this a new version? I took a look at this a few weeks ago and I don't remember any of this doc. I don't see a version ID anywhere on the website either (at least for Android).
It's a good feature, but I wish there was a way to disable it for certain WiFi networks. My Nikon camera can act as a WiFi access point so I can download images to my phone. But if I turn on that Android feature it continuously drops the camera WiFi connection because obviously there's no Internet connection available.
They are serving the whole market. You may be thinking, "I need a decent sized phone that can fit into my pocket, and I'll just use my laptop/desktop for the heavier lifting."

The vast majority of the market is thinking: "I need a computer and I also need a phone, but I can only afford one." Obviously, this second segment wants the screen to be large, because they don't have an even larger screen sitting at home.
:) VMWare is an application that runs operating systems, yes.

But a) original poster is talking about a web application; not a virtual machine or hypervisor and b) VMWare itself still requires an underlying operating system-- one could argue that this case is actually an operating system running another operating system with a thin adapter layer in between (i.e., the VMWare application).

Again, that is probably only because you view your current phone as such. Who's to say that you won't see a larger phone an even more useful tool? I'm not saying that you will, I'm saying you haven't tried and therefore don't know.

> None of those things need a 6" screen.

It's not really a question of necessity. I agree. My contention is that you should not be dismissive of 6" (or 4.5" , or 5") devices a priori because "you don't need it" - because there is a chance you'll enjoy it more. If user experience matters to you, then it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. If it doesn't, there are some small sub $150 Windows Phones that fit those needs marvelously. And that's fine too.
Similarly, Safari frequently locks up or crashes on my iPad -- behavior that started with 8.0.0 and has continued through 8.0.2. I rarely remember this happening in the past.
You're right. They list storage as "memory". How much RAM does this thing actually have?
When was the last time you used it? Things have vastly improved recently.

> often badly rendered fonts (fuzzy, weird aliasing)

Gnome-tweak-tools and the infinality package makes fonts and aliasing comparable to OSX. As with most Linux things, it requires a bit of tweaking. Mostly due to politics and FOSS, as is the case with the fonts.

Newer Gnome apps have clean padding and margins.
We're currently using "knife ec2 server create" to create servers, and it is indeed a pain. That's part of what's driven my interest in Terraform.

In practice, though, we're hampered by Terraform's only partial support of the detailed EC2 instance properties.[1] Compared to the full EC2 API[2], there's quite a bit missing (e.g. declare an EBS volume as encrypted).

Is there any way around this by passing arbitrary key-value pairs somehow, or are we limited to Terraform's documented API?

You took the word out of my mouth! It is by far and it is also losing some of its legendary attention to detail.

I've noticed the amount of patches going up as well as the stability of software go a little bit down. But that's not all, most major unix tools in Mac OS X are 2 to 3 years outdated and Safari is a bug nest.

To bring some balance to my criticism I fell that innovation at Apple has not decreased but the quality of products has.
I just can't install apps anymore. They all want everything. There is no reason for a todo list app to need my location, sms, camera, etc, etc... This needs to be fixed.
"was already quite difficult to reach the top corners with one hand"

This is such a red herring.

I switched from a smallish phone (a Nexus) to a Note 3 (which is just a fraction smaller than this) and it's absolutely amazing how millions of years of evolution equipped us to do things using both hands and how quickly we can accommodate ourselves to doing what nature intended. We even evolved walking upright just so we could accomplish this amazing feat.

I even have smallish hands and have had zero trouble accommodating what apparently is a freakishly large phone so big I could serve dinner for six on it.

Astonishingly it fits just fine in the front and rear pants pockets of all my pants and shorts, in my shirt pocket fine (if I'm wearing a shirt with a pocket), in my suit jacket pockets just fine, my hoodies are great with it.

Bonus, I can actually read what's on the screen without having to hold it up next to my face. In fact it's smaller to carry around than my old moleskine notebooks which I also kept in my pocket until I got this phone, and now thanks to being big enough to keep a sane size pen and provide a reasonable writing surface has completely replaced. From larger touch targets to larger speaker for the speakerphone to more battery, the tremendous effort of just using two hands is far outweighed by all the benefits of having a larger phone.

It's so useful it's even replaced me dragging along my tablet on trips for reading. I just took two trips and my phone was the only device I needed to bring along with me, large enough to comfortably type on, watch some shows on, battery life for all day hassle free use, I can comfortably read books on it in bed!

It's so compelling a size that just on showing it to my friends and letting them handle it half of them went out and bought a phone in that size range. They "got" it only after using it for a bit.

In practice you just use it like a small tablet that also happens to be a great phone.

> If they had put the 3220 mAh battery (or larger) in a 4.7" - 4.9" phone, I would gladly pay for that. Why can't smartphone manufacturers understand that a longer battery life is whats lacking in mobile devices?

Absolutely true! But it seems like playing with fire to use a powerfully psychoactive drug like hash when one has such symptoms. He doesn't seem to mention that he stopped smoking up. Common sense tells us that would probably be a good idea.
Hm, the history will be dirty with abandoned experiments etc, but so what - great idea. I'd like to use that system for a while, but I'm still not sure if it will work.

I remember using jbpm graph language - it had nice graphical editor, but we still switched to xml view to very often, because it was much faster to work with text.

Maybe it's just a matter of proper tools, but I can't imagine how you allow graphic language to do this for example:

sed s/foo\("bar", ([a-Z0-9]+), "baz"\)/foo\(\1\); bar\(\1\); baz\(\1\);/g

Maybe it's problem with my imagination.
I think it was WPF based starting with VS 2010 actually.
The form renaming im absolutely with you on, horribel. Once you tried it you learn to stick with your original name.

Direct2D vs DX9 is probably a valid point, I have never faced any issue with this.

The rest of them I don`t think I follow you on. Two trivial image tasks, one ugly syntax and two issue I can`t seem to have encountered.

It should be noted that I always have used telerik`s awesome UI components together with WPF. Which both features and documentation are top notch.

I don't disagree that WPF is a good framework for making Windows/Windows Phone applications. Nor do I disagree that the JavaScript/Web community has reinvented many of the same ideas. It's hard to explain to an AngularJS fan that WPF had many of the same ideas long ago. But let's be honest, these ideas (bindings, uni-directional data from from the model layer) aren't really that amazing.

Now, WPF may be ahead of the HTML/JS from a technical point of view right now. But the community is a completely different thing. That's what differentiates things today (not to mention the bag of cash Google is pushing into web standards) and really is the only thing that matters when it comes to the success/failure of a technology.

I think you're right that WPF will last a good deal longer. There's too much software already written for Windows/.NET, but "many, many" years is a stretch.
> I don't understand why Google is making a Nexus 9. It seems crazy. Doesn't everyone understand at this point that 7-8" is the right size for a tablet?

No, everyone doesn't agree with your opinion that 7-8" is the right size for a tablet (I don't even agree that there is one right size.)

> Are they just of the impression that phablets will eat small tablets?

Probably. Given that even Apple has given up and gone to big and bigger with its phones, the space for mini tablets is narrowing.
So $159k - $16k (kickstarter cut) - 738 sticker packs ($2k?) - 216 postcards ($0.2k?) - 51 DVDs ($0.2k?) - production ($6k?)

That's still $135k

I also think you're forgetting that she can simply change identities online if she wishes (anonymity protects the good guys too!).

Anonymous death threats made against celebrities aren't new (twitter is just a new, highly public, medium). No one can say with certainty she's not in physical danger, but no one can say with certainty she's not going to be struck by lightning either.
Fascinating arguments about size. It isn't the only phone on the market, so the size question is resolved by market acceptance. Granted there are confounding factors, Lollipop vs Android 4.x, cost, availability. But in general larger screens seem to sell well (compare the iPhone 6+ backlog to the iPhone 6 for example [1]). I get that this might not be a "good" thing for some people, but it is pointless to argue that Apple or Google should take less money by selling phones the market doesn't want (a strategy which is being employed by RIM at the moment)
