Five Major Benefits of Using Rain Water Tanks
Are you still toying with the idea whether you should invest your money in installing rain water tanks or not? If you are, then do not delay for too long because you will only postpone the benefits that you can enjoy by using rain water tanks. One of the reasons why many of us hesitate to install rain water tanks is the cost involved and especially during these days of recession whereby everyone is trying to cutback on their expenses,

HN Jobs: Freelance Design Jobs
Hi, I am a freelance web designer (portfolio @ www.mediarosh.com), who is looking for some work. I am sure that there are many others like me who are in search of some decent clients as well.

The reason I am posting here is because I believe that startups are the best audience for us freelancers, since we usually work for much less than design firms.

So any need some great designs at a reasonable price?

All GP is done in Lisp?? Sorry but that is far from true! In the EC community C/C++ and Java are the most common languages used. Just take a look at the popular EC libs out there (EO, ECJ, OpenBeagle, TinyGP, etc). Even Python and Matlab are well more accepted as programming languages than any kind of Lisp. It's sad but it's true.

You don't know the "fight" that is to use Lisp in this field/community. The few times I use Lisp is for solo work, because every time I do collaborative work people simply refuse to even considered it. The myths against Lisp are pretty strong and people just refuse to change their minds. Which I think it's kind of ironic since in a science/research environment, people should be more open-minded. Oh well...

I, as a Haskeller, envy Lispers as well. Metaprogramming is so incredibly easy in Lisp. Oftentimes I can find good solutions in Haskell for things that people would normally do using metaprogramming, but still. And almost always the types really help me, but every now and then they get in the way.

Look at the bottom of the page. The footer has the same effect. IMO it's not a drop shadow but is supposed to suggest that the section below is curving smoothly away and back under as if that element was made of a piece of paper that was rolled over the top.

On the whole it looks like they were close to having something great.
What gets me in this situation is that RockYou is apparently "accepting responsibility" for this breach of security, admitting that users are susceptible to identity theft if they use the same email/password across multiple platforms (including their bank accounts). I mean, if they are "accepting responsibility", would it not be the actual responsible thing to do to offer some sort of protection for their users? I am going to generalize here and say that the "type" of user who would be using RockYou probably is not the same "type' of person to use multiple email accounts/passwords, thus by deduction a good portion of their user base is probably susceptible to identity theft and they do nothing about that? Very responsible.
That's what happened, not how it was done.
The more important point is that if you're starting out with Python, which one to use is very clear. There's Stackless and so on, but the main page at Python.org just points to CPython. (It does mentions that Python is available for the JVM and .NET vm, but that's not the primary link.)

It's a sharp contrast to when people have to decide which Lisp or Scheme to learn with, but don't have enough experience to choose. (Some probably decide on Python instead.)
What quality are you expecting?

I sincerely challenge anyone to find a story/post/article from TC that is full of technical details that wets your technical palette. Chances are you won't find any.

Its really a sham that TC is considered a tech site. If any other site had as much BS posted on HN front page everyday - it would have been flagged & banned in a moment's notice. Yet TC survives and thrives on HN simply because of Arrington's connection.

I don't think I would be incorrect to say that the overwhelming TC crowd absolutely hates TC articles or its style of "journalism", yet for the mere fact that you can't "downvote" anything, stupid shit like this clutters the front page.
Agreed, although I'd quibble about the use of "that" (effective). They do set the bar fairly high and therefore stop a lot of "casual" vandalism and spamming, at the very real cost you note.
The left menu section is a piece coming up and folding over at the top (the shadow that looks like a drop shadow is a curve into the screen) with the w3c piece being a loop around this?

IMO this effect would have worked on the center content part making it appear to be topmost but doesn't work on the side menu.

Each Orion mission would require a couple dozen explosions to reach LEO, plus several (according to the delta-v you require for the specific journeys) for propelling them.

Don't forget the technology is not ready yet - it would be a lot harder than following the blueprints and building it naval ship style. Specific nukes would have to be developed for this project, nuclear fuel to be diverted from military uses, the environmental risks be measured and, possibly, an acceptable death toll would have to be determined. An astronaut blown to pieces is a very different thing than a mutant boy half a planet away whose lack of luck can be somewhat blamed on increased environmental radiation.

Orion is a great idea. Perhaps some aspects of it could be salvaged, but I seriously doubt we will see one ground-launched unless we develop pure fusion bombs. OTOH, if we are to bang our heads developing pure fusion bombs (which we can agree are a very bad idea), we could as well develop some other form of propulsion, nuclear fusion or not.

As for the number of nukes, just imagine how many a small fleet of them would require to haul itself around the solar system and other uses. Launching them (and their nukes) would be the easy part.

Orion is insanely cool and I am a bit ashamed we cannot build one, but I am not attached to it in any special way. This is not the way to go. It was not practical in the 50's and it's not practical now. We still must find a better way.

On a second reading, you're right. But the truth is that in the EC community, and GP in particular, Lisp is not used. 1/2 of C++ speed is just considered too slow. IMHO, I guess speed is just the easy excuse.
But your GSLB requires your DNS server to be up, which it won't be if the datacenter blacks-out. Ditto if you're running a "pair of 'front end' servers".

Shouldn't DNS records have a reserve address too then the client could decide if failure had occurred to use the alternate address?
If that was the goal then they could simply add a provision that the code could not be used in any military projects or projects by military subcontractors. That would also be a lot easier to uphold in court than trying to define 'evil'.

As for the terrorist thing, it's a terrorist from your point of view. Eg. Israel bombing an UN school full of children was not seen as a terrorism, .... [Disclosure: I'm neither Israelite neither Islamic, neither at the side of UN, so neither from Iraqi.] Let's not talk about this "shit" in HN, sorry for going offtopic.

As for the license statement, it is there beacuase he wants to. Have you ever thought that he may want that giant corporates don't use his code without permission first.

A clear example of this it's the main story of this discussion and the response by tlrobinson.

Nice design, I expected the large image to change onmouseover though, fwiw.

Still this is spam so I flagged you. Hope you find the work you're after, if you get too much I could use some myself!
It did not like dwm either.
Legal departments get paid to keep you out of trouble, which means vague and untested wording is seen as a risk.
The RPGer in me finds it amusing that they did not ask for you to extent that to "neutral" acts.
But who defines 'evil'? A hellfire missile kills, and maybe your stance is that killing is evil full stop (this is purely hypothetical - I have no idea what your views actually are) but maybe someone else thinks that firing missiles at an invasive force to their country is 'Good' and the killing is in this case justified.
Good and Evil are one in the same it just depends which side you are on. Sure there are some clear cut things like clubbing babies, obviously evil. but what if I run a internet scam site that uses all it's profits to run free medical clinics in the third world and saves hundreds of lives? Point being it's subjective, hence only you can decide what is good and evil for yourself and putting a clause like that in your license is meaningless.
Wow, I am really impressed by the well-researched and well thought out tough questions you asked without being disrespectful (have you guy seen interviews conducted by Arrington for techcrunch? Total dickish questions all around).

This is my first time watching your interview videos. Even though I have seen links to your site here in HN many times, I ignored them mostly because I am not much of a video guy, I like texts.

I see myself watching more of your interviews. Keep it up.
All I really want in a language is something similar to Haskell, with Lisp-like metaprogramming, easy support for Erlang-style concurrency, and syntax that doesn't immediately terrify the Blub programmers. Is that so much to ask?
Thanks.

How is this spam, if you yourself agree that you too are looking for design jobs? Why don't you post your portfolio as well, I would love to see your skills.

I did get the feeling the piece was criticizing, but not that the author was a critic of the banks actually paying the gov't back, but of their motivations for doing so.

Stealth Startups, Get Over Yourselves: Nobody Cares About Your Secrets

Which library am I missing? apt-file search for Control/Applicative/Error.hi yielded none.

Help appreciated from all HN-reading haskell'ers.
do a "cabal install applicative-extras", that should help.
If only it were that simple. Rewriting in C means a lot more than coding in C. It means that you're dealing with an entirely different deployment scenario and different platform dependencies.

Your build system needs to support it. Your testing procedures need support it. In some cases the platform does not support it at all (Google App Engine).

But most importantly, how many Ruby/Python/PHP developers are able to write safe C code? How many of them would you trust to write server side C code that could bring down the system or introduce hard to find memory leaks?
Absolutely - If I were Plurk I'd be sellin out to Microsoft right now.
Interesting that they are now public. They are doing pure server-side JS from what I hear. Back in 2007-2008, they had various code reviews and/or rules to enforce completely stateless programming...they may have automated these manual checks via internal modifications to JSLint or something similar by this point.

If you’re competing with the big guys and are worried about them stealing your ideas, it’s the same story—it boils down to execution. As Eric Reis says, “If a startup can’t innovate faster than a much larger competitor, stealth isn’t going to make the difference —they’re toast”. It may also be that fear of big companies is overblown: those who have worked for one know that it’s incredibly hard to get a manager at a big company to do something new, even if your goal is to give your ideas away.

I really don't worry that someone will steal my idea(s). I don't think it is stealable. But even if I did, I wouldn't worry that a big company would steal it. As I understand it, Bill Gates got rich doing something IBM basically gave away to him.

The only worry I have about big companies is a paranoid fear that stuff I do on the web might some day get me fired from my current job before I am ready to support myself via my off-hours activities. So I try to not do any of the things that have gotten other people fired from big companies over online activities (like talk trash about the company I work for).
I hate to say this, but Python == VB for science.
Intelligence Improperly Collected on U.S. Citizens
Yes I think that is too much to ask. Metaprogramming, I think, is by definition incompatible with compile time type checking.

The "meta" in Metaprogramming means that the program is able to manipulate itself (recursively) at runtime. I believe it's theoretically impossible to combine that with AOT type checking and Haskell without its type system would not be Haskell at all.

[edit] Of course you could argue that the sort of thing C++ does with templates is metaprogramming as well, only at compile time. In that case I suggest that we need another term for that because it's totally unlikle what Lisp is so good at.
Three 30" monitors. Actually, we let you spend up to $10K on your setup, however you think best.

makes you want to take on VC money with those kind of perks. :) we have a small amount of angel money but as founder I took half salary so we could spend a few bucks on decent monitors and task chairs for the developers. they could be better but we had to cheap it this first round.

I wonder how many hours a day Asana expects developers to crunch? My guys aren't addicted to Facebook/Twitter and we don't have office distractions or other 'perks'. We work all day in the zone, and I usually cut them off at 6pm and force them to go home so they stay mentally fresh.
And that's fine, because OpenDNS doesn't fit in with how you want your DNS resolver to operate. Again, it's a choice you have to make to switch to it, so you're fine to continue using whatever resolver you choose.

However, if you're like me and you enjoy the features that OpenDNS provides, then the choice to switch is easily made. If I would like to use OpenDNS for it's speed and still retain NXDOMAIN support, there is the option for me to do so (And admittedly, it's in an account section that should be more forward-facing). But I understand what the defaults are because I'm making the active choice. Don't insinuate that they hide these things away. NXDOMAINs are something that only advanced users would care about anyways, and you have to have a certain level of geekness to want to switch DNS resolvers anyways. So, give your fellow smarty-pants some credit!

The startups don't have this problem. Big corporations do.

What makes you say that this is not a problem for startups? Is it because you think startups are too small to profitably take to court and thus can safely ignore software licenses, or because you think that somehow companies below a certain size are incapable of evil?

Sort of off topic, but I bet a number of other people were wondering about the apparent mismatch between the Anglo name and Middle Eastern/South Asian appearance of Andrew Warner. I thought at first he was adopted or something.

But seems like he made a business move -- real name Shuki Khalili. Which is likely Iranian or Arabic. This also explains why he mispronounced Chandrasekar Rathakrishnan's Tamil name, which is what initially aroused my curiosity.

Anyway, I totally understand, I have my Starbucks name too, and this is why that James Chartrand story posted recently rang true to me.

Here's the article that discusses it. Actually makes me think about going with something like "Steve Jones" when initiating outbound. Any bites to "Steve Jones" then cc'd to a polysyllabic ethnic -- who happens to be me.

http://newsone.com/nation/job-hunters-with-ethnic-names-face...

Throughout Shuki Khalili’s career, he suspected his name might be holding him back. When he worked for a Wall Street headhunter, he felt potential clients would blow him off when they heard his name. When he started his own business selling greeting cards, phones sales were initially a bust at first.

“I tried using an American name, ‘Andrew Warner,’ and suddenly I could at least engage them in conversation and sell them some ads so I could build my business,” he said. He now goes by Andrew Warner and runs a successful entrepreneurial resource site called Mixergy.com in Santa Monica, Calif.
Funny you mention that. When I first read the ad, I couldn't help but feel like this was some kind of reincarnation of the spending during the dotcom boom around 2000.

Actually, it's not that easy (to do well, at least).

18Gpix with a 9Mpix camera means 2000 exposures. Steady-state shooting rate for most digital cameras once the buffer is full is about 1 shot/s, so that means it would take at least half an hour. (And it's doubtful a robot mount could move that fast.)

During that time, the Sun will move significantly and unless you have a completely clear sky some clouds will likely move in front of the Sun. You'll never get a good stitch.
The post above doesn't mention compile time type checking. Are you implying that to support one of the features he asks for that it is required?
A while back I read Michio Kaku's _Hyperspace_, which makes mention of this short story but not by name. Thanks!
@kirstendirksen: "Slow Christmas: how we play (no shopping required)"
One of Haskell's defining features is a very expressive and powerful static type system, so yeah, compile-time type inference/checking was pretty heavily implied by "similar to Haskell".

And yes, the fact that I was essentially asking for a language with both static typing and runtime self-modification was the reason for the tongue-in-cheek "is that so much to ask". Might as well ask for a program that can compile any legal perl program [0].

That said, I suspect there's a lot that could be done to allow certain subsets of metaprogramming techniques in a static-typed language; some sort of crazy meta-type system that lets the compiler prove that something will only produce code with a particular polymorphic type, maybe? I don't know.

[0] EDIT: My bad, it's actually parsing perl that's impossible, cf. http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=663393
Leverage Known Brands to Build Your Business
The entire Wikipedia article posted is a giant spoiler...
It's interesting that in Norvig's talk you linked, while praising python, he also mentions that he is a supporter of the functional programming style for scientific work, both because it more transparently mirrors the mathematical formulation of the algorithm, and because it should make the use of massively parallel computations easier. I concede that there are currently few implementations of massively parallel, functional code (MapReduce and possibly Data Parallel Haskell come to mind) and it's true that the MPI-based Single Program, Multiple Data paradigm is dominant for now, the functional paradigm being but a very promising newcomer.

Given that, and the fact that languages such as Lisp, Haskell and OCaml are more aimed at the functional paradigm, wouldn't you agree that there is possibly a general shift going on in scientific programming in general, from Fortran/C(++) imperative style, via python, towards finally any of Haskell, Lisp and/or OCaml?

I don't really agree with your implication that the (at first) obscure way of doing things functionally makes the work less open, and that this makes it less desirable.
If everyone worked in exactly the same way, communication would be easier, but there would never be any disruptive change. I think letting everyone figure out for themselves what language works best for his/her appliciation has more merits than trying to enforce a standard, be it python + numpy & scipy, or anything else. If there turns out to be one clear winner, people will gravitate to that automatically, but you shouldn't argue for harmonization for its own sake.
