Being part of Kronos doesn't mean they are forced to implement any of their standards.

Sony is a good example. The only Khronos stuff they use is WebGL in the PS4 menu and that OpenGL ES 1.0 with Cg shaders for the PS3 that no one used. All studios targeting PS3 favoured LibCGM (http://sandstormgames.ca/blog/tag/libgcm/).

Wow.
How I wish they would open up that API. It would be so cool to search for music based on attributes, as in "give me a song in minor, with an electric guitar lead, with a virtuosic guitar solo, with female vocals, and with electronic instruments". You can kind of do that now by Googling the Spotify keywords, but it's not perfect. And what if you could create a custom radio based on attributes? Even better!

I fear that if Pandora ever goes away, this immense collection of musical knowledge will go with it.
Little guys have always been able to get music on iTunes. CDBaby/Tunecore etc. allow you to upload your music and have it distributed everywhere including iTunes and Spotify. Artists will still want to go through those services as they enable you to upload one place and be available everywhere.
I just thought I'd echo this. Many people who are general technologists can hit the ground running, or be up to speed in a given language/framework in a matter of a couple weeks (or less).

I like to talk to people with a variety of skillsets and interests in their background and try to figure out how to leverage those towards the work we do.

Bonus: having a huge diversity of skills is kind of like having a deep bench to work with
Exactly. Also, lotteries and gambling are all about who can come up with the best strategy to game the system within a prescribed set of written rules. Like everything else in life, it's a puzzle. What's the point of any game if it's all chance and no strategy?

> Yet, this average family was happy

That's a huge and unjustified assumption. They likely were exactly as unhappy as a comparable 'average' family today: they would envy their neighbours who owned a better horse, they would fight among themselves (a lot, and with real physical violence among family members), their children would run away and never return, their weakest elements would be bullied mercilessly, and so on and so forth.

Life could be absolutely hellish, even more so for people who did not fit their (fewer and stronger) expected roles.

> It was because they were grateful for what they had

Or rather they were thankful they survived to see another day. That's not happiness, that's just relief.

> and because of a supportive community who were just like them and were always there for them.

They were also ready to judge, gossip, discriminate, bully and cast away anyone who wouldn't fit the strict rules of very hypocritical and moralistic communities.

I can agree that modern consumerism is hardly a paradise, but the past was much worse and there is no reason to look back with rose-tinted glasses. The past was worse in every respect.

So what is this new product? The Apple site doesn't say.

If you just want background music, try Radio Coast.[1]. This is a successful streaming music project which annoys the RIAA because it doesn't have to pay royalties. Years ago Seeburg, the jukebox manufacturer, offered a background music service, using a special record changer which played 1000 songs over and over. The music was recorded by their own in-house musicians, so they didn't have to pay the RIAA. They never copyrighted the records, which you had to do back then to get copyright protection. Instead, they used a primitive form of DRM - the speed, record size, groove width, and hole size are all nonstandard.

All those records have been converted to files, and there's a streaming site. Hundreds of hours of 1950s elevator music.

No, Beats 1 is literally one channel and they made a huge deal about it being the first global radio station (except for the millions of other internet radio stations I guess).
To clarify CP and SAT solvers are just examples and obviously they're not good enough otherwise we would be using them already. Genetic programming with combinations of SAT and statistical learning is also a possibility I guess [1]. The point is that you wouldn't need to instruct the processor what to do anymore, you would just specify the output (aka declarative programming).

> Why hasn't Prolog programmed us out of existence, then?

I would say because of its (low) speed.

> Constraint solvers are useful and powerful tools for declarative problem solving, but I don't recall them ever being viewed as general-purpose, especially not to the level of being a generic "autocode"

They are not autocode, but they are autosolve-my-problem which is in fact what you really want. I don't believe automatically generating code makes any sense. Source code is a very inefficient way to represent a program (i.e. a function) that is only useful because it can easily be written/modified by humans. There's no point in using source code as an internal representation for a program.

[1] AFAIK state of the art SAT solvers already do some level of learning: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict-Driven_Clause_Learning
Afaik, all iOS devices except the Air2 have 1GB RAM (or less - e.g. iPad2 and iPadMini1 have 512MB). So only Air2 can run two full apps side by side, makes sense.
My take as a PLC software developer on problem solving at work and in life
Ideally, they'd add a feature where it makes its traffic take the form of https connections to a variety of IP addresses that also host other things, so that it's hard to identify. I don't think passive network traffic analysis can determine which apps are being downloaded to the Google's Play Store, from connections to the Play Store itself.

Even if they aren't doing anything to hide the network traffic, there are events that people want to capture where the main bad actors don't have those capabilities. Taking recent events in Ferguson Missouri, for example, while the NSA could almost certainly tell who was using the EyeWitness app, the corrupt local police almost certainly couldn't.

And for phones distributed through carriers, once the OEM provides an update, it then (probably) gets tested by the carrier, and only then (eventually) pushed out. Sometimes the carriers don't even distribute updates the OEMs provide.

What's new in Xcode 7
I disagree. Swift and its accompanying libraries are designed for automatic reference counting rather than tracing garbage collection. I think that's a big deal for mobile apps (see Drew Crawford's take on GC in mobile apps, http://sealedabstract.com/rants/why-mobile-web-apps-are-slow...). In that light, Swift projections for WinRT would be great.
Im pretty sure they said its the same hardware support as Yosemite
But isn't it still about doing one task but using multiple apps? I guess there will always be people who, when given a gun(or any powerful tool), will always shoot themselves in the foot.
Their publishing company / record label / film studio stops them from releasing their work as CC / Public Domain. Because the middlemen of the entertainment industry want to ensure a profit. They're also the one's lobbying the government to make the copyright term longer and longer. So changing this is beyond the means of the lone storyteller or fan embracing an alternative. We need shorter copyright terms.
> But how do I know if the maker of the app is sending my SSH credentials to his server or something?

You have to ask the maker to open source his app and you have to check whether he built app from the same sources (probably with some repeatable build scheme). It's not something I ever saw, so you'll have some things to research, but it's not something impossible.

> Does apple check that? Is the process how apple prevents this documented somewhere?

They probably do have some kind of firewall monitoring network requests of the app when they check it. But of course they don't read sources, they don't reverse-engineer the app. So their abilities are pretty limited. You shouldn't trust that any app from the AppStore is guaranteed not to be harmful.

iOS has a sandbox model which should limit app abilities to read data from other apps. But you shouldn't trust this sandbox model too. Every iOS version was jailbroken which means that crackers can find vulnerabilities to elevate privileges.

Overall AppStore is safer than more liberal proprietary app sources. You are not likely to catch some wide-targeted malware there. But it's not a panacea.
My only real git crisis was when I accidentally `git push -f`ed what I thought was my own branch, but actually the `develop` branch. On a monday. After a weekend where about a hundred commits had been cherry picked and merged in to develop by a dev not in the office. None of my coworkers had recent versions of develop.

The thing that ended up saving me was our CI -- we autodeployed passing builds to our staging env; so we were able to ssh in and `git push -f` back from staging to our repo.

This comment gets made every new release and is just as false as ever.

Apple always takes it's time to do things because it does them in a way that people can actually use, rather than rushing to be 'first'.

Android does rush features out, often getting them into a few devices ahead of Apple, but because of the failure of distribution of updates for Android, Apple actually gets to deliver features to consumers well ahead of Android.

Also, Android does often end up having to copy the iOS way of doing things when it proves to have been well thought out - e.g. The new permissions model.
"Free reign" or not, the last thing we need right now is more music shoved into our ears because it's what a few people think we should listen to.

How much airplay will unsigned artists get on the 24/7?

This isn't snark, it's a serious question - inspired by the influence 70s and 80s DJs like John Peel had.

They literally made entire careers by playing non-mainstream music no one else would touch. Some of it got a first airing as a demo cassette. Hundreds of bands recorded special sessions for those shows. Some of those sessions became legendary recordings in their own right.

Will this Apple product do anything like that? Or will it be the usual suspects playing the Official Industry Approved Top Downloads list, with no risks of any kind?
I would argue that the biggest challenge of open-sourcing Swift was getting the go-ahead, not the actual mechanics of doing it. So from that point of view, they have pulled off the hardest part.
At minimum it would be supporting whatever Yosemite did.

And surely the OS would be falling back to existing behaviour if Metal is not supported.
I've been wondering how good the continuous readings were on it. I'm actively considering the best device to track my really complex heart rate issues (I have postural tachycardia).

"The only way this wins is if the power of something being the Apple default is truly that strong."

For something like this, yeah, Apple default is probably that strong. Considering that it'll button right into all of their hardware (laptop, iPad, iPhone), I could see it being a fairly significant thing for them. It's one less app to have to use, one less payment interface to deal with, and integrate with whatever music the user already has.

Not to mention that Apple probably has a lot more clout in the bargaining arena with the record labels than Spotify does, and a LOT more cash to throw around.
The nature of http and websites makes the web centralized: there's always a server, users don't really serve data, it's always stored somewhere.

It's true that it's decentralized, that's it's easy to create websites, but in nature, if you shut down dns servers, you shut down 99% of the internet, which inclues HTML website.

And I think that a decentralized web might be more easy to index (proof of work system, etc).

Nice, Swift just became 10x more interesting to me; especially since it'll run on Linux. A Pythonesque statically typed language server-side could be handy.
Blfr is right, I'm taking utilitarianism as my morality. Specifically, I believe networking with a developer (regardless of gender) is moral, and networking with a recruiter is useless. What morality do you take?

Secondly, I didn't make any assumption that the utility is all mine. The 1 utilon can be split between both parties in some arbitrary manner, it doesn't change the result.

Third, you are correct that I my constraint may not be #recruiters + #developers = 100. It might be alpha x #recruiters + #developers = 100 for alpha < 1. That doesn't change the optimal course of action - my best bet is always to minimize time I spend with recruiters.

Now if you think my model doesn't work, present a better one. But if you are making a fundamentally moral and non-utilitarian point ("networking with lady developers is intrinsically good no matter how many puppies get killed!!!!!"), make that point and don't waste time on positive claims if the truth of the positive claims is irrelevant anyway.

Also, you seem to wildly misunderstand what an appeal to authority is. An appeal to authority would be "I asked Eliezer Yudkowsky and he said I was right." Writing down a simple mathematical model is not remotely an appeal to authority, that's just careful reasoning.

Device manufacturer like Samsung release dozens of smartphones per year. The reality is beside their flagship devices the support is sub par, after a single digit months you won't receive any updates. If you use a leased smartphone from TelCos, you will have to wait for OTA updates which can take additional time.

Google migrates this by almost forcing updates over the Google play store framework. And one can decide to buy the device from another Android device manufacturer, ones that are known to support the device for several years.

What?

Do you realize how far Java reaches into the enterprise?

And with Swift's focus still being around the walled garden of iOS/OSX development, even with the open sourcing there are many more "IFs" to achieve before Swift rivals Java in adoption.

Don't get me wrong. I don't use Java and I have made apps for iOS (though not with Swift yet unfortunately). I like Swift and intend on trying it. But rivaling Java? Certainly no time soon.
That's what they advertise but based on my experience (I used Pandora for years in college) it's quite a ways off.
I've always enjoyed James Mickens' perspective on this:

"In the real world, threat models are much simpler (see Figure 1). Basically, you’re either dealing with Mossad or not-Mossad. If your adversary is not-Mossad, then you’ll probably be fine if you pick a good password and don’t respond to emails from ChEaPestPAiNPi11s@ virus-basket.biz.ru. If your adversary is the Mossad, YOU’RE GONNA DIE AND THERE’S NOTHING THAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. The Mossad is not intimidated by the fact that you employ https://. If the Mossad wants your data, they’re going to use a drone to replace your cellphone with a piece of uranium that’s shaped like a cellphone, and when you die of tumors filled with tumors, they’re going to hold a press conference and say “It wasn’t us” as they wear t-shirts that say “IT WAS DEFINITELY US,” and then they’re going to buy all of your stuff at your estate sale so that they can directly look at the photos of your vacation instead of reading your insipid emails about them. In summary, https:// and two dollars will get you a bus ticket to nowhere. Also, SANTA CLAUS ISN’T REAL. When it rains, it pours."

> For something like this, yeah, Apple default is probably that strong.

I would generally agree; for the vast majority of people the "notes" app works just fine, no need to install evernote or simplenote or whatever.

But in this instance, Apple is expecting you to shell out $10/month. I think that likely kills most of the inertia of, "Well, it's on my phone, I don't need another app." I could be wrong, though. Regardless, I'm not cancelling my Spotify subscription anytime soon.
And they still seem to be doing well for themselves, so what's the problem?
>Too little too late. Apple could have got my attention if they had done this from the start, but at this point I find it hard to get excited about this.

That's just like your opinion man.

If Swift is Open Source it's gonna be a huge thing, for two reasons: (a) it already attracts millions of developers because it's the suggested language to develop iOS apps in, and (b) it's a nice modern language that plays in a very hot niche (with languages like Go, Scala, Rust etc).

>When I look at swift, the only thought I have is that it is the new iOS language.

OTOH, tons of people and HN and elsewhere expressed their liking for the language and how they wished it was open sourced so they can use it elsewhere too.
Consider that each line in a conversation is a separate text. So if you have a 5 min conversation with a friend, each of you spends 15s on a reply, then you have 10 texts in that conversation. And that was just a short conversation.

If you phrase it as "the average teen says 94 sentences to his friends each day", that doesn't sound so extreme. And a good portion of those sentence will come in a few much longer conversations.
