I read that as meaning Git would be next in line, but they are not in any hurry to add it. Personally, I'd rather they concentrated on really making what they do support shine. You can always host the source on git(hub|orious) and add a Sources wiki page that points there.
One thing I could see useful is to get to comments for your current tab. Let's say you're reading something and you would like to see if there's any discussion around that on HN and if so, get to it. If not, get the option of submitting it.

I also remember that there was a bookmarklet that was adding links for each story to open a split window with the article on the left and the comments on the right. I liked it, though I lost it and never really looked for it.

Apple iPhone Patents could Ban Android
In one sentence it is an algorithm:

"The development of the algorithm was performed at IBM Research - Zurich and was presented on Thursday at the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics conference in Seattle. "

In the next, it is "software" and subject to patenting:

"The Zurich team has been working on the software for the last year-and-a-half and they were able to patent it at the end of 2009, prior to publishing the results."

So confusing... I didn't think patenting of algorithms was permitted. Color me confused...
I think it's probably because people would assume that a car with a big button that says EMERGENCY STOP or something like that is more likely to need an emergency stop button than a car that doesn't have one.

Though I guess they already have that in the form of "emergency brake". Do you suggest they implement electronics to perform these functions when the e-brake is depressed?
JS has three epic wins going for it, that cannot be matched together by another language:

Eich's original LiveScript had sexpr reader syntax before the attack of the curly braces.
Absolutely. I used to own a V-8 Ford pickup; if you happened to hit the brakes and the gas at the same time the power of the engine would completely overwhelm the brakes and the truck would (start to or continue to) move. If you accidently left the parking brake on, you couldn't discern a difference while driving it. Coming from a state where many people own pickup trucks, I was taught that the engine will overpower the brakes, every time. Now I own a small car with exceptional brakes that I'm sure would stop in that situation, but that's just the exception that proves the rule - it depends on how big your engine is.
Funny story for you; I have found pages that do not render properly in IE6 that render fine in IE5.5.

I wish I could explain it but..
It just seems weird to correlate power with morality. Most people, powerless or not, simply like to cover their asses. The powerful simply use the best means possible for doing this which is following the rules since the law tends to be on the side of the powerful. This also makes me wonder how a mob boss fits into this scheme since such people are considered powerful by most definitions.
Sounds like someone's got a case of the monads!
And the Oxford Guide to Plain English (which I recommend) says that both are correct.
I can't see why that would be necessary.

The vacuum assist is just that - an assist. The brakes still work if you don't have it, you just have to put some extra force on the pedal. It isn't even that much force; I've driven older vehicles that don't have any assist at all and it's not that much harder to push the pedal.

You can compile and run the source code, you just can't do so on an iPhone without buying a key. Free Software dies if nobody gives a shit about it, running it on the original hardware is completely irrelevant.

I'm sorry but the GPLv3 (and worse, the AGPL) are the shittiest passive-aggressive 'Free' software licenses yet written. They're just clickwrap EULAs, since you can't enforce the restrictions they add on top of the GPLv2 via copyright law.

It's funny to see the same people who wanked long and hard of restrictions on crypto turn around and try to impose their own restrictions on the same by ideological fiat.

I agree it isn't enough for all situations, but in those situations you're better off using a tool that is appropriate rather than shoe-horning a tool that isn't. Yes, IM is convenient, and if you are in a situation where you and the person you are talking to are both already using (or have instant access to) a tool that does the job, then of course you should use it (after all, that's the most convenient thing to do!).

But if you're on the phone, or talking via an IM service that doesn't have a white board, or if in any situation you simply need to illustrate and annotate a conversation live, then the Eye is just a couple of clicks away.

It's feature incomplete - we know that, but rather than throw in features simply because that's what we (and others) might expect, we'd like to work with it and the people who use it and make it as useful as we can.

Thanks for taking the time to respond :-)

ReBuzzThis Wants To Be The TweetMeme Of Google Buzz
I realize that El Reg has the reputation of a tabloid, but I didn't think it could be this embarrassing.

A quick search on the author revealed the following:

GCG was founded in late 2001 by Dan Olds and is based in Beaverton, Oregon. The company focuses on enterprise information technology, including TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), IT virtualization, servers, server consolidation, and a wide variety of other issues that explore the intersections between business and technology. The goal of our research deliverables is to de-mystify technology issues and concepts so that they can be readily understood by a non-technical, business-centric audience. [1]

This doesn't look like very effective self-promotion at all, which I thought was part of the reason why people submit these articles.

Say, that ReBuzzThis (http://techcrunch.com/2010/03/05/rebuzz-tweetmeme-google-buz...) is not a bad idea (one too many syllable in the name, though). Anyone want to build something similar (but different and better) with me using one of these names that I own? The other idea on the table is BuzzAware: http://techcrunch.com/2010/03/01/buzzaware-google-buzz-app-d....

http://BuzzConnect.me (available); http://BuzzFindr.com (available); http://BuzzLove.com (in use, but can re-purpose); http://BuzzPal.com (in use, but can re-purpose); http://BuzzPop.com (people are trying to buy or license this name); http://PopBuzz.com (and this one); http://LatinBuzz.com (and this one).

This is a build, monetize, sell kind of thing. No outside capital, which means team owns 100% of the equity, which means early and lower-priced exit can be profitable for all. Also means lower risk of this kind of blowout: http://bootstrappy.blogspot.com/2010/02/bootstrap-or-die-les...

Just send me a tweet or use my contact form http://buzzpal.com/contact. I'm a former venture investor and current web startup founder, adviser, and prospective seed investor. With this deal, we can structure it however we want and you can own a big chunk of equity (up to 50%, depending on what you bring to the table). This is me and some of what I bring to the table: http://www.linkedin.com/in/comella (I also bring seed capital).

Yes. I know personally I have never clicked on an ad in gmail. They're always for totally bizarre things.

For example, the last Fandango email I got served up a bunch of ads for roofing companies. See Alice in Wonderland and get my crawl space sealed! I guess...

Anyhow, Google wouldn't lose one red cent if I covered those ads up since they make money on a CPC (vs. CPM) basis.
Eich's original LiveScript.

We have something else, JavaScript. It does not have sexprs. It doesn't have continuations. It doesn't have tail call optimization. It has mutable array operations, but immutable string operations (got it backwards.) There are no macros, hygienic or otherwise.

The only thing it has in common with Scheme are first-class functions. If you want anything else, you must implement it yourself out of the Turing Tarpit, and it will perform badly, because optimizing JavaScript is difficult due to its mistaken specification.

By any of these metrics, Python, Ruby, Perl, and C# all have more in common with Scheme than JavaScript. I think the people claiming 'JavaScript is like Scheme but with a different syntax' are mistaken from lack of experience.
I love a good freedom of speech rant as much as anyone else, but I think the reaction here is completely overblown. The idea is not, of course, to remove posters from inside walls of people's homes. It is to remove advertising on the outside of those homes, and presumably the only reason the police would go inside is to effect the removal of that advertising upon the owner's refusal or absence.

Advertising on houses and buildings is not a matter of free speech; it is a matter of neighbourhood amenity and dominated by local by-laws. I am not allowed to put huge advertising posters on my balcony right now, of course. To do so would enrich me while depriving my neighbours, be an eyesore, push down property values, etc. I can't play super loud music at 3am, either, which doesn't really seem like a breach of my right to free speech either.

My guess is that the planning committee in London thinks that during the Olympics certain people might consider the fines they get for illegal advertising insufficient to deter the act, so they're temporarily allowing the cops to tear them down, and if that requires property access, fine. Probably accompanied by a temporary regulation adjusting the aforementioned advertising controls.

Free speech? Give me a break. Either you consider all anti-eyesore visual appearance regulations to be "against free speech", or you are probably able to concede that a temporary upgrade of enforcement is pretty reasonable considering the stakes.

There's a difference between the "benefit of the doubt" and cheerleading.

A lost of these critical comments could be phrased more politely (like "how do you plan to get away with this"), but they're all fundamentally reflective of what a middling idea this is in general, and what a terrible idea this is for anything couched as a 'startup'.

What's wrong with 'mucking around' with chart axes? Scientists do that all the time, because effects are often hardly visible with 'normal' axes and you have something you wish to make clearly stand out. Skipping part of an axis and changing the scales is a normal, even required, thing to do.
I believe two things related to this:

1. to a certain degree, the US is punishing Japan due to their recent actions in the bond markets. This is a very important problem for a very small amount of people, but it makes great headlines. Do you think the US government is genuinely interested in resolving this properly from an engineering perspective?

2. that 100% "drive by wire" systems should not be allowed...there should be a big red "holy shit" kill switch on the dash of modern cars that kills power to everything except steering and brakes

So, imho, its a very serious problem, that affects very few people (in the big scheme of things), and there is a very simple solution, for going forward technology at least, if not existing models. But do you guys get the feeling that this is what the conversation is actually about? Something seems a bit odd to me.

But then I'm one of those conspiracy theorists that think when you're running 15% budget deficits and have real (as measured using historical methods) unemployment of 20%, and many bond issues are taken down 50% by the federal reserve (literally printing money to buy your own debt), that you will start to observe unusual things happening in the marketplace. The adherents of Occam's Razor would imply that that I am simply crazy, becasue the simplest answer is always the correct answer. So I guess thats it.
What is constructed in the post is not an alternative explanation of the numbers. It is an explanation of an effect that needs to be taken into account to explain the numbers. It may even dominate the explanation, but that's not asserted in the article. You have fallen into an "either-or" trap.

"It’s true that you have little to no ability to predict the future on your own" -- the author misses Ferguson's point entirely. Ferguson would use history to understand the present and to illumine the future.

However, a timeline's unpredictability (despite seeming like an obvious concatenation of events) frustrates this goal and leaves us to hedge our bets on the future.

The author has no such qualms, though. No matter how history turns out, he can alway generate a fact-filled story that sounds completely reasonable.
Coates is pointing out that there are good reasons
to suspect strong sample bias.

If that was all he did then there wouldn't be a problem, but it wasn't. He also made unsubstantiated, anecdotal claims, and he presented the whole thing as fact.

OkCupid didn't address this -- they just assumed an unbiased sample.

The OKCupid post very explicitly addressed how their user demographics differ from the norm.

Nope, no locks needed in Node. This is one of the little joys of javascript: no threading at all. None. With Web Workers you can have processes, but there isn't shared state; everything is done through message passing.

All parallelism is cooperative in javascript, meaning that you don't have to worry about control flow switching out from under you at arbitrary points, just when you explicitly yield it by returning from an event handler or from the top level of your program.

Finally, to answer the grandparent question, the easiest answer is a promise group. A promise group is basically a promise that emits a success event once all of its child promises have emitted success events. There are a few implementations floating around, though it's just a handful of lines of code to write and makes for a good exercise.

So assuming that A and B are rewritten to return promises (or wrapped, I believe that isaacs has a library which will wrap functions which take a callback to return a promise instead), you can do the following:

var promise_a = do_A();
promise_a.onSuccess(do_C);
var promise_b = do_B();
promise_b.onSuccess(do_D);

var promise_group = new PromiseGroup([promise_a, promise_b]);
promise_group.onSuccess(do_E);
You should explicitly note this.

I've actually really liked the posts from OK Cupid, they are very interesting, but this article really pokes a lot of holes in their theories, in that they presume they are dealing with a cross section of society due to their size, but from reading this, it seems entirely likely they are mistaken.
Do you think this, or do you have numbers? If affiliate links hurt the merchant, the merchant can pull them whenever they like. Considering Amazon has gone to court to keep their affiliate program alive, I don't think it's something they're doing because they forgot to take down the web page for some special promotion. I think it probably helps them.

He meant that the 'people that have heard this' have no idea. I'm not sure whether his sentence can be properly interpreted as such, but even if it's grammatically dubious, the intention is clear (to me). He probably knows that the effect is vastly overstated in popular accounts, as other commenters have pointed out.
it is at least a plausible hypothesis

It might seem plausible if you share the same preconceptions as Ta-Nehisi Coates. But where's the data? Plenty of things that sound plausible to some people turn out to be unsupported by data, particularly when they are issues that people are emotionally invested in and issues that, like this one, have heavy social and political components.

Racial views in the US are absolutely filled with (and arguably dominated by) gross misconceptions that seem plausible to many people despite being untrue.
Great, all Buzz threads are at google.com. That won't be confusing at all.
I wonder about the reverse causation situation as well: does rule based ethical thinking help people to gain power? Without trying to debate deontology versus consequentialism, it certainly seems that someone who can just decide things based on rules would have an easier time gaining power than someone who wastes effort considering the consequences of each action.
Congrats! Amazing how they continue to crank out new features
Great to be using software that was forked, spindled, and mutilated from the upstream developers only a year ago, instead of three!

Ubuntu's policy of doing the same shit faster and on a fixed cycle helps, but it's still the same fundamentally broken release model. A continuous rolling release with namespaces and slots in the package model is the only way to go.
I actually think it might be a pretty nice touch to have the sound in (and a mute button).

The reason that the diagonal of the inverse covariance matrix is interesting is that it tells you the rough size of an ellipsoid that will contain your data.

That is, if you have a data table of floating point measurements with N columns and M rows, and you interpret each row as a vector in N-space, you want to know roughly how much scatter there is of the M points in N-space.

The dimensions of the covariance ellipsoid give you a good first cut at this (assuming that deviations aren't too large).

(Google results for "covariance ellipsoid" are surprisingly bad. This book result is ok though:

I think this idea just generally hasn't gone down as well with the community shrug

for the following reasons:

some of us run companies and see how this pushes the boundaries of abusing the affiliate system by taking a profit margin

I'm not sure it's a lack of givng the benefit of the doubt as disquiet at the ethics of the idea.
I don't see anything "passive" about the AGPL. It's pretty clearly: you may use my code, but only if you release any changes you make to it when you use a modified version in any public guise at all, even on the server side.

I don't see anything wrong with a condition like that. If you don't like it, you're free to negotiate proprietary licensing terms with the author, or write your own, or find other software. It's certainly no worse than the license most startups use, "All Rights Reserved".
Wow.

I would never buy a kindle or nook, they merely reimplement paper books, and poorly at that.

This I would buy, use and love.
Wait. My assumption from the story was that they had actual deals with these retailers?

Is that not the case? If not it doesn't seem a smart move seeing as their whole business is based on access to affiliate accounts that can be cancelled at a moments notice for as many reasons as the merchant likes :-)
