Reminds me of the third islamic caliph, Omar ibn Khattab, who suspend punishment for thief on famine. [1] I wonder if there is another legal presedence beside it.

A lot of banks still run mainly on FORTRAN or COBOL. I guess it's "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" attitude.

Nice. I use Little Snitch myself. I also appreciate the clever naming. ;)

I build my app using AMQP as one of the building block. Thank you so much to Pieter for creating it. I hope the best for him.

Well, Siri was introduced to public on October 2011 [1], while Google Now was introduced on July 2012 [2].

From skimming the article it seems that I can't find the definition of 'managerial' that this article is based on. Can someone enlighten me?

I wonder if this is a strategic steps following Amazon Echo's nice overtake on speech-based assistant area. Apple is really the pioneer on bringing speech based UI to the masses. Maybe they sense a threat?

I suspect Oculus Rift is gunning the high end much like the Apple strategy, so quality and exclusivity is going to be important value proposition. From the company point of view, this is the logical decision, since the Gear VR or Google Cardboard strategy probably won't give them much revenue.

Right? His speech is really good. Not a lot of engineer (or people, as the matter of fact) can give a speech that fluently.

On doing so, Apple probably gains respect from other countries except the USA.

Btw, they are opening anything.id right now, so you probably can search interesting domains like: humano.id, parano.id, etc.

Om Malik sees it as a first step toward acquisition by Google (or rather, Alphabet).

Don't forget other countries.

Minesweeper! Ah, the nostalgia.

A note: the mouse position and acceleration seems to not be mapped correctly. It is often separated away from my local desktop mouse position. Maybe because the screen resolution is different?

Counter example: the protruding camera bump on iPhone 6/6S.

I live in Indonesia. Believe me, everyone is on whatsapp right now. Every community from school friends, business colleague, even neighborhood security is coordinated on a whatsapp group. The money paid by facebook for it is now seem like a great deal, as also for instagram.

As a developer, i wish they have an API though. A native desktop app is on wish list too.

Eloquent JavaScript. A delightful introduction to JavaScript and programming in general. http://eloquentjavascript.net

I compiled a list of online courses on Computer Science and Electrical Engineering the other day. The curriculum is based on my old CS college syllabus. Maybe it can be useful for students. Feel free to add something on the comment.

Yeah, drug-trafficking and capital punishment aside, I agree on your two points: Widodo's domestic popularity seems to be declining sharply and corrupt justice system getting stronger. We, Indonesian, experience it first hand sadly.

I am truly sorry for the Australian whose caught in the middle of this mess.

I am an Indonesian. Although majority of the people here support death penalty for drug trafficker, there are growing opposition to this execution on social media.[1] However, it seems the reasons are somewhat split:

- Some people opposed to death penalty, whatever the reasons.

- Some agree on death penalty, but only on select case.

- Some concerned by the law enforcement corruption. For example in the case of Zainal Abidin, the Indonesian who get executed too, there are bureaucracy mishaps that prevented him from getting a retrial. New Yorker mentions there are bribe request allegations too.

On the other hand, nationalism is very big in Indonesia. When countries like Australia confront the execution strongly, they see it as an intervention. Moreover, you can point out that John Howard himself supported death penalty on bali bombers.[2]

Australians should learn diplomacy from the Phillipines, who is able to save their own Mary Jane Veloso.[3]

True on the hardware level, but Apple Watch should be viewed as an integrated hardware AND software. I'd further argue that the software running the watch is actually comparable on craftsmanship level with the gears on mechanical watches.

The classic mechanical watch is a beautiful object created carefully by mainly one person, while the Apple Watch is a craftsmanship on industrial scale. I think it's fascinating. A utilitarian object can also be a work of art.

Interesting. All this time I have a perception that Java app is slow as hell. What a terribly wrong assumption. Color me impressed.

It reminded me of a quote from Hemingway's book, The Sun Also Rises:

- “How did you go bankrupt?” Bill asked.

- “Two ways,” Mike said. “Gradually and then suddenly.”

Thanks for the link. I just read about it. So probably it's not a substitute for Java (yet) right? I guess it's kind of a replacement of C++ for multi-platform games development.

Can you build Android UI using Go? I have not found a good UI library in Go.

While I agree on the need of disclosure, actually Pando Daily share more investors with Uber than with Lyft. http://www.forbes.com/sites/ryanmac/2014/11/20/uber-investor...

I agree. Those learning path is best for a deep understanding of how go works in the inside.

Do we need another framework? For learning, sure. But for production, it's better if we contribute to existing framework instead. Relevant XKCD: http://xkcd.com/927/

There are a lot of web (micro-)framework or tools on Go right now and it seems there is a new one each day that i lost count. On top of my head: revel, beego, martini, gin, web.go, gorilla.

Have any of HN folks tried it all? Any comparison or review? I personally have only tried martini.
