"The Phoenix Suns delivered a powerful statement Wednesday night with a relatively subtle gesture: a three-letter addition to their uniforms. Their jerseys said “Los Suns” — a Spanish-English combination intended to acknowledge the Cinco de Mayo holiday and, more broadly, to express opposition to Arizona’s new law dealing with illegal immigrants." - Bret Taylor

That was pretty amazing - it's clear you have had a huge influence on what Facebook has done since they brought the Friendfeed team on board. Oh, and I like Fuki Sushi too - I used to go there when I lived in Palo Alto, but the name always made me titter ... and you had to pair it with In and Out ... c'mon you guys did that on purpose right? Yeah, OK, I'm 12. - Laura Norvig

Me too! Can't wait to see you guys there. I'll be wearing my FriendFeed shirt. - Jesse Stay

Good job on the graph API. Nice. - Todd Hoff

Congrats! You rocked f8 today - excellent improvements for sure - WOW - game changing stuff! :) - Susan Beebe

"Those of us who have championed open platforms cannot ignore these facts. It’s conceivable that, had Apple loosened the restrictions surrounding the App Store, the iPhone ecosystem would have been even more innovative, even more democratic. But I suspect that this view is too simplistic. The more complicated reality is that the closed architecture of the iPhone platform has contributed to its generativity in important ways." - Bret Taylor

It's not sour grapes, it's just being irked by someone with a massive ego talking bollocks. When he was confronted by journalists for proof of the reasons why they were quitting the PC market he refused and tried to deflect the conversation. Also, the Unreal Engine will always be available to the PC market for use - they wouldn't turn down extra money for no additional investment since they have to make it for the PC anyway, as that's where the game is created in the first place! Also I'm not arguing about an open market being the only eventual winner in this battle because the reason why many are pushing consoles rather than PC's is that consoles are simply more profitable by their very closed nature. Retailers also love console titles more than PC ones because they're a sounder bet for the second hand market - as that market is extremely profitable, since 100% of the sale will go to them. The gaming market is set to become even more closed if the transition to services like Onlive and GaiKai take off. Even then, there will always be a PC market. - alphaxion

You could call up the local FedEx dispatch center, but the last time I tried to pick up a package on Sunday, they wanted to charge me $400: essentially, they had to pay someone overtime to show up because it was closed. - Mark Trapp

To me, a broken abstraction is when the programmer writing in the high-level language needs to know low-level details or quirks of the implementation to get the high-level code to work correctly. I would call the techniques in this article compiler optimizations, not broken abstractions. Toward the end he says "Go breaks the simple abstraction of a stack that most C compilers assume" but I don't think of compilers as using abstractions. Barry Kelly's comment is good. - Bruce Lewis

That's great. - Tudor Bosman

Great post! - Anne Bouey

Awesome! - Ruchira S. Datta

Also: "utf-8b is a mapping from byte streams to unicode codepoint streams that provides an exceptionally clean handling of garbage (i.e., non-utf-8) bytes (i.e., bytes that are not part of a utf-8 encoding) in the input stream. They are mapped to 256 different, guaranteed undefined, unicode codepoints." From http://hyperreal.org/~est... which links to utf-8b codecs for C and Python. (A big thank you to Brian Behlendorf for continuing to host the site.) - Ruchira S. Datta

utf-8 is a good example of a successful standard. I don't really ever hear people blasting it. It solves a lot of problems, has great characteristics and just plain works. - Hayes Haugen
