When I read King's "The Stand" I pictured people crucified in the electric posts along the highway. I imagine birds pecking at their heads as the sunset sets in. I heard in my head the whirring sound of a motor bike puttering along the highway. It felt normal, and yet foreign. I reminisced of Planet of the Apes forbidden zone with the furry warning effigies. The bongos, the drums, the ocean waves deafening sound as bright eyes falls on his knees. It felt like an eternity. Then I turned the page.

On the first snippet the programmer believes that safety can be pursued with an if else clause which is not the case in the real world. The real world is not if else. The real world is fuzzy logic. The real world is more akin to the Monte Carlo Method. A collection of approximations.
Some environments all they require is a console editor. Others take advantage of very very large tool stack (press F12 for live demo). 10 years from now vi will be alive and well and we are going to use it to program the programs that will police the programs that police the police programs.
I wonder is they are going the wrong way about it. The dialog's between the user's and Siri are truncated and one-sided. What Siri needs to do is to collect conversations for one or two years of millions of users and learn to carry it's own conversations before is ready to help anyone. Perhap's Siri needs some help from the people in the NSA.
Well Duh! Parse for anInstance.joe_method2(); instance2.joe_method();
and replace w/ anInstance.joe_method2(); instance2.joe_method();
hell, you can collect the line numbers of every location where joe_method2() is defined and joe_method() and then swap the occurrances and create a report and on post it on web using Python or Ruby or Bash or Perl and hell, reverse it on the fly if need it. Sometimes IDE gives you the illusion of knowledge. Sometimes you cannot right-click your way out it a problem.
there, finds the Class, replaces method name. Sure is not bulletproof and esay to refine can be automated and shipped to China. IDE's are to programming what RAP is to music. Yes I love RAP but you know-what-I-mean, jelly-bean.
The pattern reveals media and social companies as the low hanging fruit. As long as they don't do a big hit on the 3 big ones: Apple, Google, Amazon then there is not much cause for alarm.
Every Linux box/laptop I have ever installed/used consumes more energy that their Windows counterpart. My Nokia phone battery lasted up to 6 days. My android phone, 6 hours.
It is a human condition to search for the information that reaffirms a pre-established set of beliefs (comes from the book) that reinforce our own opinions (like Slashdot).
Google weakness is their scope. When it comes to information, they are the GM of the 60's. In house, vertical, total control.
Facebook banks on that a groups people that exchange information that they find _useful_.
Social networks should not be flat but holistic. They must grow withing their local contexts.
Facebook muscles itself on others by social norms and peer pressure (Like a Thanksgiving dinner you dread to assist) Sure, go ahead and stay out of Facebook but don't blow a gasket by the the fact that people are talking about YOU on it.
The Market Norms put information exchange as a commodity. The Social Norms put information exchange as a human activity (like breathing)
The trick is to make the humans feel a safe and familiar experience (like a quiet summer afternoon conversation in you uncle's porch) when typing away are a social network web site. Trick people using social norms to hand out information to be treated using market norms.
Google knows it's that IT is being perceived as a information crunching machine and subconsciously humans don't trust machines.
Facebook, MySpace and Twitter (notice their names) are percieved as human driven connection "thingy" where humans interact. Like a cork board outside the supermarket t.
But mark my words. Google is going to do something about that. They will spin off something or buy some start up to to create an aura of humanity around their algorithms.
A simple GIF with o a floating balloon behind the search field won't do.
Contexts can be deceiving. Be careful not to use these charts to decide what language to learn or what language is better for a given solution. Let's remember the web server ecosystems: cgi, c#, perl, java, python, php, ruby. A given algorithm implemented in you language of choice can give you the upper hand and instant notoriety; but running the whole operation (labor/maintenance/testing) goes far beyond controlled environment testing.
Lately I've been thinking that the more powerful solution (language wise) is the one that you can build and tear down from scratch in less time/effort. That gives you more confidence to try new/innovative solutions. my 2 cents.
You nailed it. Among other things, of course, it is how the memory gets managed by you and the libraries, in whatever language you choose, a determining factor in efficiency. Some languages lean toward managing the memory for you while other languages leave that to your own device. It would be naive and stupid to state that my program is efficient because was written in c..right? But I have read dissertations here and many places on how, given the right conditions, Java may very efficient managing memory not wasting cpu cycles(by efficient mean thrifty with resources) which is a stretch (don't go there). Indeed, the idea that just because something is coded in C, it is going to be faster than it's counterpart in a different language, well that is a myth.
Make your date memorable as in live to tell another day, by not putting garments over halogen lamps. I know is just a prop but props can be set ablaze. Just ask Michael Jackson. Cool Valentine's card thought.

Anyone knows exactly what typo?
I can't find the fumbled command line anywhere in the internet.

They work. Not only prevent bad posture, people will listen to your rantings while bouncing rhythmically at the tempo of the mood.

OMG tried to tackle the language interoperability with CORBA ( Common Object Request Broker Arch ).
They created another language: IDL
wait.
So far, kind of useless.
But is only $35.00 Dlls but who would bother to return it?

Ray Bradbury Martian Chronicles is an excellent book. I recommend it wholehearthedly.
Instead of mega projects we need a hybrid domestic appliance refrigeration unit.

Just looked at the US subscription offer: 13 issues fo $110 US Dollars. Pricey.

I feel better now. Thank you for the pep talk.
