So ... how is the jquery version superior in any way to the plain vanilla javascript version?

It's shorter, both in original code size and in the number of documentation pages required to understand it.

Sorry, there is absolutely no reason to use that poorly-written pile of garbage.

I disagree. So do most of the posters in the thread you referenced.

As for a reference, you might start with JavaScript: The Good Parts.

Thanks. I assume you mean this one. I'll check it out.

I learnt a new word today. Thank you!

I also agree with most of your point, but I wonder, just how much of a premium are those people you mention willing to pay? 10%? 20%?

To be honest, if you like casual games, the iPad might have been the better choice. Not sure why anyone cares about IE4 at this point, and video works just fine on my iPad.

As for HTML5 games, seriously? You think there's only one?

Abso-fucking-lutely. Look at how many people out there gladly pay the Apple Tax for devices that are really not that different,

Except in the case of the Nexus Q vs. the Apple TV (...or the WD TV Live) we seem to have a Google tax of 200%.

(TFA is talking about the 'Q' media streamer which is bizarrely more expensive than the new Google tablet).

Anyone can jailbreak

Provided the DMCA exemption allowing jailbreaking is renewed. That's not guaranteed, and if it isn't renewed, Apple could use the precedent in Sony v. Hotz to shut down U.S. jailbreaking.

Also the apps are in theory almost as locked down.

The differences I'm referring to are the following: 1. All major Android phones and tablets support adb install; in fact, Google requires this as a condition of licensing the Market application. 2. Android has an IDE on the Market, unlike Apple which has historically been reluctant to approve tools for programming on the device. Or what has changed in the three years since this story?

Spad said this in a comment above, but they also are killing Flash on desktop LInux ! It seems like that should be mentioned, as this is slashdot, maybe the site with most linux users in the world (was there a previous article,maybe?)

From the roadmap linked from the article;

Linux: Adobe has been working closely with Google to develop a single, modern API for hosting plug-ins within the browser. [...] Adobe has been able to partner with Google in providing a "Pepper" [ http://code.google.com/p/ppapi/ ] implementation of Flash Player for all x86/64 platforms supported by the Google Chrome browser [...]For Flash Player releases after 11.2, the Flash Player browser plug-in for Linux will only be available via the "Pepper" API as part of the Google Chrome browser distribution and will no longer be available as a direct download from Adobe. Adobe will continue to provide security updates to non-Pepper distributions of Flash Player 11.2 on Linux for five years from its release.

It's a good thing that Flash use is declining...

If it's like the US, it was a solution to the very well-defined problem of the "wrong" people winning elections.
Our routine election-verification tests are centered around detecting ballot-stuffing, not
vote-flipping, because conventional ballots are hard to alter for a different candidate. All-electronic voting systems, however, make flipping trivial.

$("#myid input").each(function(){$(this).doSomething();});

In bare javascript I'd have to write a loop, either recursively or iteratively

(Oh, no! Not a loop! The horror! Someone might be able to read and understand your code -- then they won't recognize your genius. It's always best to make sure your code looks as much like obfuscated perl as you can manage. jquery is great for that!)

So ... how is the jquery version superior in any way to the plain vanilla javascript version?

var myStuff = document.getElementById("myForm").getElementsByTagName("input");
for (var i=0;i<myStuff.length;i++) { myStuff[i].doSomething(); }

In vanilla version is much easier to read and understand, easier to write, and doesn't require a gigantic library.

What's REALLY funny, however, is that the vanilla version actually requires you to know less about JS than the jquery version!

Sorry, there is absolutely no reason to use that poorly-written pile of garbage.

. If you're really dedicated to luring programmers away from jQuery, I suggest you write (or recommend) a reference such as I suggested.

If you're really dedicated to promoting that useless abomination, I suggest you find some way to justify its use. As for a reference, you might start with JavaScript: The Good Parts. It won't take long before you find out how much time and effort you've wasted learning and using that bloated corpse.

Behold, Apple's design patent in all it's glory. Tell me, of those four images that compose the entirety of that patent, which shows something more than "rectangular, round corners"?

Let's see: there's the flat, flush surface with the display, the thinness, the sides with rectangular corners (imagine, not rounded) on the top and the curved ones on the bottom.

Ohh, and you may notice that the design is older than Samsung's picture frame.

I was a little disappointed that, for a topic that mentions JavaFX, there hasn't been any significant discussion about JavaFX at all so far.

I'm admittedly not a UI developer, but, I've been playing with ScalaFX and looking at GroovyFX and seeing a lot to like (See JavaFX 2.0 and Scala like Milk and Cookies). Combining this stuff with some of the ideas from Morphic and we could get some really compelling UI's that would be hard to do in a browser even with HTML5.

On my Galaxy S if I turn all the animations on they seem pretty smooth, It runs 2.3, Gingerbread. My Galaxy S 3 is even better, as good as an iOS device 99% of the time.

Personally I can live with those 1% minor juddering on animations in exchange from true multitasking. That is what it boils down to - on iOS the animations have absolute priority and all apps must yield to them, on Android they don't freeze your entire system for the duration.

Droid2600 is awesome.

It has a micro USB socket. Also GPS! See the specs in the Google Play store:

https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_7_16gb

It doesn't say there whether the USB is OTG or not, but I'll bet that it is. The latest Nexus phone has a micro USB with OTG. But, according to this video, flash drives don't just work out of the box. He speculates that you could root your device and get it to work or that perhaps an update will enable it.

I'm with you: I want to be able to plug in a USB flash drive, an SD card reader, etc. And I want this even more because the tablet doesn't have a socket for SD or Micro SD cards anywhere. (Not a deal-breaker for me... I already pre-ordered a 16 GB model.)

Right. They wait until you're making money, and then they come take it. Half a million? No. The damage can be your entire company. What would RIM look like right now if they hadn't suffered a half a billion dollar patent tax on push email?

Probably no different. The RIM v. NTP settlement was in March 2006, at which point their stock price was at $27. 16 months later, they were at $85 and did a 3:1 split... at which point it then went up to a peak of $144... So one share of $27 stock when that half billion dollar "tax" (really? taxes go to the government, this was to the patent owner) was then worth $432, or a 1600% increase.

No, what killed RIM (aside from the 2008 recession, but that hurt everyone) was the fact that they rested on their Blackberry laurels and never innovated further, believing themselves to have a lock on the enterprise market, and iOS and Android shot past them.

Nah. Microsoft is just timing the appeals so that the Euro is at its lowest. This way they'll save up to 20% off the fines. Microsoft might want to wait a few more months to pay it off. If Greece, Italy, and Spain go insolvent, they might be able to pay it off with spare change.

Jesus H Christ, the patent isn't just on rounded corners, you simpleton. Rounded corners _are a part_ of the design patent. One piece. There are other parts that _when all used together_ constitutes infringement. Did your dinning room table copy all the design elements of an iPad? Did your TV? No. So of course they don't infringe.

Way to read the post. I didn't suggest my table infringed. I said that it was evidence of rounded corners existing prior to the iPad, and that Apple wasn't especially innovative or distinctive in its design.

Anyone who thinks this is just about "rounded corners" is either stupid or ignorant. It's about _the entire design_ which includes, as one part, rounded corners.

Behold, Apple's design patent in all it's glory. Tell me, of those four images that compose the entirety of that patent, which shows something more than "rectangular, round corners"?

Now, feel free to mod me troll all you want but it would be nice if everyone who's simplifying this situation to "RAWR!!! Rounded corners!! RAWR!!!" could pull their collective heads out of their asses and actually recognize that a company is blatantly and outright copying the design of a competitor who has a patent protecting that design.

It would be equally nice if the rabid Apple fanboys could pull their heads out of Steve Jobs' decaying sphincter long enough to realize that their idol is patenting the bloody obvious, in an attempt to monopolize the market.

You don't really plug much of anything else into it, except maybe headphones.

I've found reasons to plug a couple things into my Transformer Prime:

• A full-size SDHC card, for sneakernet of large files. Note: The Prime can handle NTFS-formatted media, so nice big video files are no problem.
• A PS3 controller into the USB port. For a couple of games I have (Max Payne Mobile, Shadowgun THD) it turns the thing practically into a games console. The graphics are surprisingly good, especially for the battery life.

Doesn't take away from your point, though.

Second screen applications involve interactivity between smart phones, tablets, or other devices and TV.

A section of historic FCC rules for radio is here:

The phrase "However, precautions shall be taken so as not to substantially alter the dynamic characteristics of musical programs" was removed after being in the rules only a short time. Many broadcasters protested, wanting to use very aggressive audio processing. Sometime it was to sound loud than the competition (doesn't work when everyone does it), sometimes it was to help hide the noises present with a marginal signal.

There were past loudness rules for ads. Here are the full details of what's being proposed for DTV now. DTV audio has generally been better and more dynamic. However when programs are dynamic, the average loudness is lower, making commercials stand out even more.

Anecdotal evidence isn't even suggestive. It's just raw uncontrolled data points. You cannot draw inferences from it.

I'm sorry, but you're wrong on this point. Anecdotal evidence is generally agreed to be suggestive. You cited Wikipedia in your other reply, so I will too:

Anecdotal evidence is considered dubious support of a claim; it is accepted only in lieu of more solid evidence.

(Source.)

These assorted definitions agree (I've only quoted pieces):

* cannot prove anything in themselves but sometimes provide leads for useful research
* tend to support a conclusion of discrimination
* can be useful to generate hypotheses
* Often construed to prove nothing, because life would be much easier if it did (see wishful thinking). [I must say this is an odd definition]
* Anecdotal evidence is unreliable evidence
* evidence that has not been confirmed by controlled scientific methods

It can suggest the truth, but it is certainly unreliable. It can support inferences such as, "maybe X occurs with Y". It cannot support inferences such as "X occurs with Y" (though my citation did that duty in my original post; I only offered anecdotal evidence because my main evidence was behind a paywall).

Aggregating anecdotal data is NOT what studies do because such data is never controlled.

Actually, you are partly right. It seems most of the definitions of anecdotal evidence explicitly disallow data taken from controlled experiments, though some are more general and do not include this requirement. I was working with the more general definition. For instance, I would call a single individual's survey results taken in isolation anecdotal evidence even if they came from a controlled study. In that sense my statements were true.

Again, as a math major you should realize this.

That is a mildly annoying rhetorical device. You were incorrect (such data is sometimes controlled, depending on who you ask, and I'm not the only one), but even if you were correct, one should only expect an applied math major to necessarily have knowledge in this area. My major was essentially pure.

When did things change where non-citizens weren't required to have something like a resident alien card? Because they were before this.

Before:
1. Person is arrested on suspicion of xyz crime
2. Police verify identity while suspect is in custody in jail
3. Looks like suspect might be here without papers, feds notified

Now:
1. Any remotely looking Hispanic person can be hassled for any ginned up reason (see the hundreds of thousands of innocent black and brown men frisked in NYC).
2. Innocent people have to spend time and money they don't have to prove that they belong here
3. More naturalized and native born citizens are wrongfully deported

If you think that's hyperbole, just ask Google.

I'm sorry but you are wrong, and here is why: writing, providing QA and QC and maintaining said driver is NOT a job Joe basement coder can do, in fact there are only an EXTREMELY small amount of people actually qualified to do that work. your argument might as well be "Just show us a picture of the brain and we'll develop our own brain surgeons" which as you can see would just be insanity. it takes years of education, and years of experience after that to become a good enough coder to work in such a low level environment without cocking it all up, and most of those people that ARE qualified? Well they actually already have jobs and won't work for free, sorry.

Maybe you should read this fine article by one of the RH devs that points out why that simply won't work. it hasn't worked in the past, won't work now, and will not work in the future, because in the end there are simply too few qualified to do the work and too much work that needs to be done.

If you just want a typical linux distro type userland you can already use a chroot and vnc.

Yep, this is what I do on my Xoom and it works marvelously. I did stumble a bit finding a good VNC client though. I started out with AndroidVNC and it worked very well and fast. The only problem was the lack of right/middle mouse click and lack of keyboard support for things like Ctrl/Alt/F1-12 etc. Those issues were making it where I would use it for novelty more than anything else. Fast forward to a few days ago and I decided to download and try every VNC viewer from the market finally settling on Jump Desktop. It's very fast, i.e., screen refreshes are more like RDP and NX rather than what you expect with VNC. And last but not least, all keyboard keys and mouse buttons work. I was actually able to hook my mouse and keyboard up to my tablet and accomplish Real Work(TM). Not affiliated with them in any way but definitely recommend their product (and it's free).
