Have you seen the late J-dramas like 'kasefu no mita' or 'doctor X'? I find those to be pretty good entertainment, however I don't know K-dramas. What I like a lot about Japanese media is, they don't tend to stretch their stories out just f

While I'm not your commenter parent I do share his sentiment: The way a 'liberal' (in the European sense) republic is supposed to work is that the people choose to support it by their own will. This is a direct extension of the idea that th

Happened to me too, I always used 'for key in mydict: do_something(key, mydict[key])' instead of 'for key, value' I guess python leaves so many ways to do things that you tend to settle on some style quickly even if it's not the most effici

The concepts themselves have helped me a lot when programming parsers / interpreters / compilers. Recently I've developed a language extension for Fortran 90 along with a parser/analyzer in python that extracts structural information of the

I can't find information on how (or whether) you handle users. Is there some built-in per-document read/write lock based on user access for example? This is the most important feature I miss in CouchDB.

"wouldn't fly with the consumers" what do you base this on? Current mobile market certainly doesn't support your thesis.

1) OSX 10.8.x, latest Chrome (omw right now, can't check) 4) How about a save-by-default stance? is versioning and rollback hard to implement on your stack? (those two characteristics should be used together IMO) Alternatively I'd just impl

Trying to answer here for him: I ran into troubles with the third field added - the demo didn't react anymore, I couldn't type in the field name. Also I agree that it should be a bit less restrictive. For example it only accepts the step wh

The gist for me is that you need local offices for mapping quality control. Probably the best option for apple would be to set up a mapping office inside each of their Apple stores.

When big consumer brands launch a new mobile product they often book all the available air cargo space they can. Chinese manufacturing has lead to an explosion of air as well as ship cargo, thus adding tons of CO2 cost to your products. Tha

I think you're missing the point. Domestic production is very important if we want to keep our living standards while accounting for the ecological costs of our consumerism. 'Made in the USA' is just a label to sell American consumers on, b

I like the thinking with the emailed link. So you basically have three buttons, one for email, one for view in safari, one for the webview? wouldn't it be more direct to show the webview immediately and give the other two options through so

Well to be honest - was upgradeability ever a big deal with laptops? At least this time around they have offered sane maxed out Ram options, so those who know they'll need that in the future can buy it that way - which is what I did. Yes th

I'm having a bit of a hard time imagining working on so much screen estate, I think it would rather distract me. However I'd like to try some flight simulators there ;). What field do you work in?

At 500$ I wouldn't be surprised at all. Did you read the article? That's just 200$ over the manufacturing cost of a retina iphone. I'm rather surprised that lenovos retailed at 2500$ are still stuck at low resolutions - and they still hav

Very insightful. Each point seems obvious after the fact, but it's good to get some validation on this 'obviousness'. How do you handle the reports after login? Is it just a webview presenting the same content as the web app? I assume it's

I think you nailed it. Notes apps that aren't developed with some strong UI guidelines tend to look ugly. It's a bit like web 1.0 in terms of UI - good developers can make neat and useful applications with it, but most of the stuff just loo

I've still been developing for Lotus Notes as a side job during my studies - it's still very big in Europe. Developing, administering (and to some extent using) classic notes applications is still a breeze. The reason why it's so hated is m

I wonder how desktop apps are going to cope with that high res display. Could become tricky to hit buttons even with the pen. However I like its combination of touch, pen and keyboard input, could be very useful for students and salarymen w

What's the difference on PCs then? If users don't know how to move the stuff on their smartphones, they probably wouldn't know how to do it on a PC. Plus, many probably wouldn't know how to handle all that media period, except what's availa

Looking at the user boards and among my circles, many Android user actually seem to care more about their platform - for better or worse. Apple's continuing "thermo nuclear war* seems to spawn a strong anti reaction. Who'd have thought. I

Actually no, Android now wins in large parts of Europe and Asia by web traffic, iOS still slightly ahead in the US and only massively ahead in some outliers like Switzerland. One thing is sure, you can't ignore Android anymore. Source: Stat

Also, it's a good example of how Apple's management is still able to recognize mistakes and try new ways, even if that means slaughtering an employee who significantly contributed to their top position in the market (Forstall). Microsoft's
