If "JVM languages go from strength to strength" is a reason to get excited about Java in 2013, should I be already excited in 2012?


Yes, but you will need a time machine


Aren't you?


These were the seven demands drafted by the students in Beijing (from Wikipedia):

1. Affirm as correct Hu Yaobang's views on democracy and freedom; 2. Admit that the campaigns against spiritual pollution and bourgeois liberalization had been wrong; 3. Publish information on the income of state leaders and their family members; 4. End the ban on privately run newspapers and stop press censorship; 5. Increase funding for education and raise intellectuals' pay; 6. End restrictions on demonstrations in Beijing 7. Provide objective coverage of students in official media.


Drop the "Degree". Computer Science matters.


What he said


According to Dan, Siracusa will make appearances in the new show called "The Crossover" (http://5by5.tv/crossover), aleit irregularly. All is not lost for Hypercritical listeners.


The problem I foresee is that, by its very nature, The Crossover is intended to have on multiple hosts from other shows, and as such it's likely that he would have to share the episode with people other than Dan. While this could work for some things, I don't think it would work as well for subjects where he has deep, complex opinions or observations that he needs to impart without interruption. Still, I'll take what I can get.


Very true. I'll miss the Siracusian-length rants.


No Python, I'm starting to think OP is a troll.


You're absolutely right! these are the python times:

* less than 5 hours (easy) => 34 minutes avg * less than 24 hours (medium) => 100 minutes avg


So Python is deliberately left out?


No, just forgot about it, I like Python pretty much.


Well, the OP has picked a completely arbitrary cutoff time, thus making any numbers obtained virtually meaningless. As suggested elsewhere, use the median and quartile ranges for non-normal distributions.

I doubt it's a troll, I'm sure it's well intentioned.


A folder in Dropbox, containing each idea as either a text file or a folder of its own.

Sometimes the whole idea is one line as the file name. The content of the text file is the details of the idea. If I wrote some script or collected some information for this idea, it'll be in its folder.


He just talked about it in today's live stream of The Frequency. The episode will be out later today.


Apple is the biggest player in the mobile market, they aren't using Intel chips in iPads or iPhone/iPod Touchs. Kindle Fires have TI chips in them. The best selling Android smartphones from Samsung/HTC/Motorola all use ARM chips. Only of late, a couple of small mobile manufacturers announced that they are releasing Intel-based devices along side of their ARM devices.

I don't see what market Intel owns.


Acquiring Intel doesn't mean replacing it's business operation. What if Apple kept Intel running as is, but merely use their designing and manufacturing ability to get better chip for their hardware?


Can you provide your reasoning?


He just added not infront of all your logical arguments.

I will add that it makes no sence at all for Apple to buy Intel.


I did not provide any arguments above. At this point this thread is nothing but a bunch of 'yes' and 'no's.

See my update in op.
