As a counter point to the football player thing, I lifted with a lot of the O-line guys in college. Most of them were comic nerds, and a handful played Warhammer 40k. One of them straight up asked me: " I'm coming at your base with two rock

It's a paperclip maximizer on the web. This type of argument leads me to believe that in the future people will complain that a strong AI isn't really sentient because we can see the algorithms and databases working. Also, a lot of our cu

There's got to be something with their history implementations. I've got about five months worth of history in Safari and it loads after reboot in a second.

The performance is much better. I’m getting sub-one second app launch times, page load is much faster than safari, page render is comparable. The app is still a bit of a bad citizen in that it doesn’t have any of the native text views all

Of note is that someone finally made the UITabBar very pretty.

Plain old {background:#fff;} is even shorter than {background-color:#fff}, too. The only reason to use the verbose declarations is in jQuery where a specific part of an element attribute is updated, and resetting everything else is not want

Your experience is a little more typical of the job market for most people without relevant hard skills like programming; the hiring environment is an extremely frustrating black hole. In fact, until I looked for a development job through a

I think the author's definition of "passion" is "blind love" whereas the HN definition of "passion" is "drive to do." Sure, if you're terrible and tasteless at something, be passionate about it on the weekends. If you're in the top 50th per

Oh, it does, definitely. But it's more along the lines of being able to deal with increasingly large daily emergencies. Being able to forge steel would be an apocalypse-sized emergency. As an ego-booster, I'm not so sure. Since everything i

The parts are sourced from a retailer. You're just pushing the "fix this for me" up one level and ignoring the entire inextricable chains of production. The sense of control is a false one. Is there control in the availability of parts, or

I'm starting to understand why my Linux and Android-using friends abhor my Apple preference. I'm still willing to make excuses for the one I like, however.

There's diminishing returns on increasing column width; the human eye starts to get strained if reading columns wider than ~60 characters. If the increased page width is applied to design elements and increasing font size, sure. That's not

Wasn't sure if the EMP pulse would be picked up regardless of power state due to induction in wiring or casing. If you're right about powering electronics down, a early warning system definitely is a no-brainer.

Would a faraday cage protect equipment? Obviously the power grid would be down, but combine solar with low-power electronics and it wouldn't be too hard to equip oneself with a running computer after the event.

I'm surprised that you haven't switched already. Mac Server is generally only useful if your network is above 60% macs that are managed. If it's something small, you could just stack an Airport Extreme on top of a Mac Mini, fire up the mac-

Apple, by contrast, focuses only on product innovation, not scientific invention. I would have to say that this is because the rate of innovation is so terrific, anything 5 years behind the innovation curve is only just beginning to becom

"yummy vegan treats." Oxymoron, fellow weekend warrior. Butter must be included. However, it is not an element in the periodic table of deliciousness--because it is so fundamental it is the up-quark of baking.

That's pretty clever. I hadn't though about muxing sound and controls together through DSP. The quicktime layer in cocoa would probably make it fairly easy to use a video stream as data input. Another thing the iPad has over a computer is s

Think about it like this: In the US, a corporation is a legal person. However, corporations are composed of many people who run the company. A quick google brings up 158,500 in the case of sony. Since the judge broke down the payment to eac

Hopefully the controls would be something beyond NSSlider-s, and allow for chaining commands together into groups that automatically move together, creating effect banks that can dynamically be broken down and controlled. I doubt it'll take

Isn't midi somewhat hacked for theater to coordinate stage events? If so, interesting uses of soft controls to mix together banks of lights in realtime, in addition to ambient sounds and other stage controls could result.

I believe that fullscreen mode is a separate view that the application can use if the developer creates one. And the palette windows will most likely be in the style of iPhoto, so Apple will most likely public classes for these, a la BWTool

No. Flash itself is poorly coded for the mac. Grooveshark is currently in the background, not playing anything. On my work PC, running XP, it doesn't use any cpu at all. On my personal mac, it constantly hovers at 45% core usage, meaning if

Right. The server software will live on, but it's more for small-mac-based offices and administering those macs. I've never seen anyone outside of 40-man design companies with an xserve. Nowadays a mac mini can handle that load fairly well.

Other than administering client macs, there really wasn't any benefit to running a cluster of mac servers. Apple's game has always been getting the difficulty threshold low enough that mom and pop can do whizzy things. In terms of servers,

It matters because he says developer needs should take precedent in a consumer product. Most people will never care about the benefits of competition between stores, and the negative of confusion will greatly outweigh the benefits. I really
