Dark Souls never was an exclusive and it was published by Namco. Demon's Souls would be a better comparison and it was never ported to the PC unfortunately. Sony is publishing the game and I'm not sure it would be in their best interest to have one of their only notable PS4 exclusives available on an other platform.

Except a) sounds like it might be true, and b) the outcome of "not guilty by reason of insanity" should be, well... many years of being removed from society in order to prevent further damage and possibly an attempt at treatment/rehabilitation. Which is basically what criminal sentences should be like; at least in situations like this that involve irrational harm of others with no personal gain, which you cannot correct by disincentivizing them with punishment.

I did an internship at age 30: it was 2008, the economy was in the doldrums, and I was desperate to change the direction of my career. The internship lasted 6 months, I was obviously far more experienced (in terms of strategic thinking & organisational experience) than other interns, my boss and even the boss of my boss. Long story short, 6 months later I was hired by the company with a decent position, salary, and having completed my professional turnaround.
I am not a gambling man so I am not going to bet you.

With that out of the way, the question comes down to one thing. Is this the future? Is this the best solution? My answer, is a big No.

The fact that a company needs their own gTLD is silly. Sites like google have a perfectly good domain. Why use iphone.apple if apple can already do iphone.apple.com or apple.com/iphone? At the end of the day the consumer will not start guessing what domain he/she has to use to get what they want. The average consumer uses a search engine and types in "apple iphone". They don't care about iphone.apple they just want to go to the product page.

Memory leaks are technically when you allocate memory, then lose the reference to it without freeing it, thus leaving the memory permanently allocated without a way to free it. Outside of a serious VM bug, you won't leak memory in a GC'd language; instead, you can leak references (leaving objects alive and uncollectable even after you've finished using them, because you've left a reference to the object laying around somewhere without intending to). The memory is still reclaimable, if you can eliminate the references keeping the object from being GC'd.

This really is just pedantry though, because the net effect is "the memory usage chart keeps going up and to the right" in both cases. "Memory leak" is a fine enough term for what's happening in this case.
"technically". Almost any comment containing this word is not helpful. So is this, we don't need a definition debate of memory leak every time it comes up for dynamic languages.

I actually use a Chromebox: http://promos.asus.com/us/chrome-os/chromebox/

I have the i7 model at work and an i3 model at home. Both are fast. I also have a Chromebook Pixel for situations that require a laptop.

As for monitors, both the desktops and laptops handle my 4k monitor OK, but only at 30Hz (because it's a Displayport MST model which are horrible hacks and are thankfully no longer made). At work I use a 24" and 30" monitor. Works as expected.

You can tune the density per-monitor, so you can run your 4k monitor at 1.25x or 2x density and your normal monitor at 1x density and it Just Works.

It's a pretty nice OS.

Is the real time nature of Meteor important to your product?

I ask because I'm considering trying Meteor to prototype some ideas none of which particularly need real-time data updates in the client.

Would I be better off with some alternative framework or is meteor still super quick to pick up and get stuff done for 'regular' web apps? Being able to knock an idea out quickly vastly outweighs any kind of scalability concerns and most performance concerns.

(Bearing in mind that I am familiar with JS and Android development, free time for noodling on personal projects is in very short supply and not got the time to learn a totally new language)
But this gives access to regular phone functions, including contacts, calling, text messages, photos and other stuff.
I guess the only way it is a strange comparison is if you are imagining a 60,000ft high mountain in which case the two things are quite different. I wouldn't relish either challenge, but climbing a 60,000ft mountain would be a much greater challenge due to the altitude (which would include small inconveniences like your blood boiling!)

The Google printer "solution" has always struck me as an exceedingly stupid solution. I have a local microcomputer, and a local printer yet the solution is to send my data to the other side of the world and then push it back on to the printer I am stood looking at? Why? It's stupid. Why not talk directly to the printer without the requirement of an Internet connection?

The same goes for sending files via Dropbox to someone next to you on an iDevice. Since it's very difficult for me to send data from my Android device to my wife's iPad or even from my MacBook to my wife's iPad3, the "solution" is to send it to the other side of the world on to Dropbox's servers for her to retrieve it.

Back in thte 50s when people had visions of an interconnected world and a utopian human future, filled with spaceflight and wonder, I am pretty sure they didn't have visions of needlessly sending data through 50+ network nodes just to get it back again on a device right next to them.

It's so stupid; if you had proposed this "solution" 20 years ago they'd have laughed you out of the room, yet today Chromebooks ("store all of YOUR data ELSEWHERE! Struggle to get it back! Find it impossible to send to a device NEXT TO YOU!") and the associated cloud solutions are all the rage.

It's stupid.

I kinda agree with that sentiment. There's a lot of unnecessary stuff going on in CS. We had extreme OOP and I fear extreme FP will spread into the mainstream. The mission of programming language designers should be to help programmers do their jobs better, not design something elegant/interesting/powerful/expressive/[buzzword]. Those things are all good, but only in the service of programs with fewer bugs and shorter time-to-market.

What good is a scalability if you never launch your product?

I used to shun SaaS web apps due to expense - "Layer messaging, $25/month, I'll build my own. When I get thousands of users it'll be too expensive."

Then I thought - it'll take me more than 6 months to build something which doesn't even scratch the feature set they have. Better use the tools and services available to build rapidly now, get to market and swap it out later.

I'm also concerned about the stigma that people with mental illness receive, but it's partially a problem with the definition.

We use "mentally ill" to describe people who are unable to participate in society in a sustainable and positive way. We don't have a perfect way to decide whether someone even is mentally ill, but it usually involves an inability to behave the way the patient, the patient's family, or society itself (in the case of crime) would like.

That could include someone with OCD who loses a lot of time to washing her hands, but it also includes people who harm others for pleasure.

Until we have different words for those categories, people with illnesses like depression are going to be under the same incredibly general umbrella as people who poison others.

I too was surprised by how positive some of the comments were. Microsoft's Surface tablet seems widely panned here (unless I am looking at the wrong comments) but if Microsoft had released a Chromebook, everyone would have said "HAHA! What a piece of junk! Who'd buy that???"

When Apple released the MacBook the other week, everyone had the same reaction ("Only one port? Can't plug in a USB stick and the power adapter at the same time? It'd STOOOPID").

But, when Google releases an UNDERPOWERED netbook with abysmal 1990s screen resolution, less storage than a USB stick and that only fully works when you're on a network, it's widely praised. I don't understand it!

In the 1980s with the microcomputer boom, if you'd have told all those kids using BBC Micros at their school that they could only use their computer and the Interword ROM whilst connected to the telephone system, they'd have thought you were stupid.

Yet, essentially this is what Chrome OS offers you. You can upload all your data (as if uploading your 4GB videos to "the cloud" is an enjoyable experience), and then view it periodically when you have a network connection.

I know we normally DO have network connections but the invention of microcomputers was meant to DO AWAY with the need for mainframes, not turn our local powerful microcomputers into dumb terminals for remote corporate-controlled mainframes. If you'd proposed such a solution 20 years ago, they'd have thought you were insane.

No. They should go further. We should have a law, similar to Sarbanes-Oxley, that forces companies to undergo a security audit every year.

Otherwise, we're going to be in an endless cycle, where companies refuse to invest in security, a huge breach occurs, and everyone suffers.

The current system does not incentivize investments in security because they hurt the bottom line and have no tangible, immediate value to shareholders. That's a dangerous situation.

I agree with you in general. But I feel there are two different issues here:

1) Should you assume that because someone has a mental illness they are in any significant measure more likely to commit crimes or unethical actions? No, no you shouldn't. Almost all mentally ill people and non-neurotypical people can tell right from wrong quite well and exercise impulse control. From an ethical standpoint, it is also important to know that people with mental illness are more often the victims of crimes than the perpetrators.

2) But... what should we do when someone harms others in unconventional ways, without any obvious motive or gain from doing so? Perhaps I jumped to conclusions to suggest it was mental illness, but I think in these cases it should definitely be investigated as a possible cause during trial. Just because the care you need to rehabilitate a person who is suffering from a significant and specific mental disorder might be different from how you rehabilitate someone without the same condition. Even if she is found both guilty (she could distinguish right from wrong at the time and thus not legally "insane") but mentally ill, it should be taken into account so that she receives the right type of care if/while imprisoned.

I'd build on that to point out that the systematic transfer of wealth from the bottom to the top is not something that "we're doing", but simply the natural product of capitalism. (...) Wealth transfer is the natural result of any system that rewards the deployment of capital with more capital.

That's true, as long as the rate of return on capital is bigger than the growth of economy. Otherwise, as the economy grows faster than capital brings the returns, capital owners own smaller and smaller part of overall wealth.

Unfortunately, throughout almost all known history, the rate of return on capital was greater than growth. The only exception was the brief period of the post-WW2 years.
