I see I get down-voted on this. I agree. It was presumptuous of me to suggest that the blog post author maybe should look beyond her henhouse. Of course her generalization of web-app's and observation of lack of world changing startups is c

Replying to a (very good) counter argument with your original argument does not make your argument better nor does it bring the discussion forward. For my part, I'm very grateful to Marc for sharing his experience and thereby providing us w

Time really pass faster when you get older, subjectively speaking; When you are 2 years old, the last year amounted to 50% of your whole life. The year between 40 to 41 is 2% and from 80 to 81 only 1%.

Thanks, nice to get a refresher on the fifth normal form. Though in practice I have yet to see anything behind the third normal form used; "The Key, the whole Key, and nothing but the Key, so help me Codd"

No its not. Using your contrived limited example its even less code. Evented: int handle_connection(int fd) { ... } int doaccept() { put_on_event_loop(accept(listener)); }

Ah the bug in the software makes the difference. Clever, I didn't see that first.

I think this response plan by apple is appropriate because a) the bar dropping is as much a software problem which will be fixed and does not reflect accurately on the actual antenna capacity b) it _is_ a fact of life with built-in antennas

Hardly, Apple need a compiled language for its mobile platform that does not do managed memory. But it may replace applescript.

I listen to binaural beat loops ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binaural_beats ). It works great. I use Holosync ( http://www.centerpointe.com/ ) for meditation and for short power-naps/quasi-meditation, I use Pzizz on my iPhone ( http://www

I wonder if I will be able to use the iPhone4 front-facing camera to do video over 3G here in Norway or if the iOS software will require a wifi connection. Anyone know? BTW, the US is really in a telecom-technical backwater. Cellphone users

Maybe not, but it goes through Steve's brain and stop there if he does not like it, and that has served Apple well.

I just bought the Focuslist program referenced in the blog as I thought it was a good idea and since my OmniFocus list is choked. Just a warning though, the Focuslist program requires Adobe Air to run. That is a major drag and for my part I

What broke the argument and suspense for me was that there was no explanation of the Fermi paradox. With 14 million type 2 and 3 civilizations and billions on our level he need to address that paradox for the story to be interesting.

Nick Bostrom has written a paper about just that, arguing that we may be living inside a computer simulation. It's an interesting read. See http://www.simulation-argument.com/

Here is why we should hope they find no life on mars. http://www.nickbostrom.com/extraterrestrial.pdf (PDF) This is also an interesting discussion by Nick Bostrom on the Fermi paradox and why we may be alone in the galaxy.

Whats up with Russia and Venus? While most of the world focus on Mars, Russia has over the years had a strange fascination with Venus. Do they now something that we don't?

The '!?' was aimed at Mr. defunkt who said that nginx relies heavily on system calls at the expense of portability Its a oxymoron as you cannot expect a C application that mostly do network and disk i/o not to use syscalls. That sai

Hello!? nginx is a POSIX network application written in C. Of course it uses syscalls. As the previous poster pointed out you are also wrong in that nginx uses anything like a prefork model. It _may_ fork of a process or more if it detect t

When the iphone was first released, development was going to be via javascript and safari. That didn't go too well with neither users nor developers. Isn't this going to be the same thing? And for the so called windowing system I would not
