>> Imagine what software would be like if subroutines
could start and end only at preset time intervals. “My subroutines all start at 3.68 millisecond intervals; how
often do yours start?”

Mine start at 50 microsecond intervals. I've worked on stuff with shorter and longer intervals. Sometimes we have lists of tasks that need to run at different rates, so scheduling becomes a real pain. Welcome to the world of real time embedded software in high performance systems. The same thing applies, we make sure the worst case execution time is within the allowed intervals and use a master clock to sync everything up.
For personal travel, I tend to hear the same. But for professional travel, the people I know still seem to be fairly traditional. It is not a good risk/reward balance to allow the possibility of a business trip being disrupted because of a bad host, or a surprise cancellation.
Agreed. I've used nearly everything, in professional and home environments, and REAPER is a compelling alternative to all of them. ProTools might be better for some special use cases...like audio for film and video, and post-production. But, for general purpose multi-track recording, REAPER is a practically perfect implementation of the traditional DAW model. It's so fast, so lightweight, and so powerful, and priced fairly.
It seems a common way to "disrupt" a market is to find a loophole to call yourself something else so you can avoid all the laws everyone else is beholden to that were put in place for people's protection.

Feels a bit overconfident - it was much better than the previous approach, and it got better over the iterations, getting very close - but however, 100% of the time my actual location was outside the circle.

I.e., the center points seem reasonable, but the size of circle is unreasonably small because it's obviously smaller than your actual precision.
My comment is equally valid if you replace "early exercise" with "paying taxes on" (assuming you do an 83b election).
The ping class likely needs to be scrapped to make this any sort of reliable.

Making a fake image request to these servers introduces a lot of very random sources of latency over what a typical ping would involve.
Stuff I use daily:
- extremely quick copy pasting and moving between two folders
- filter by extension
- dir bookmarks
- extremely quick compressing
- easy and simple enough file diffs
- command line from every folder
- fast navigation using smart search of file in current dir
- pretty good search within folder
- viewer for text files(useful when need to read the last couple of lines from 10GB log file)

It is somewhat more/easier configurable than mc or FAR. I know you can get dozens of plugins for all these actions but totalcmd has the right amount of stuff I need and is not bloated. Been using it for almost 15 years.
People have dreamt about on-demand car hailing for a long time, but it's always been a pipe dream - building the two-sided network is such too hard and too expensive, and a small network is just not worth using as a consumer. How is this not innovation?

I try to use Ardour every couple of years (and I think I still have a monthly donation setup for Ardour). So far, I've always gone back to Reaper. Partly that's because audio on Linux still kinda sucks, and often requires a lot of kernel fiddling and other crap, but partly it's because Ardour is bigger, slower, and generally less capable than REAPER. But, it's been a couple of years, so I'm due for another stab at using Ardour for my primary DAW.
Froot Loops have 25.3g of net digestible carbs (total carbs minus fiber) per 30g serving. That's 84%.

http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/breakfast-cereals/1532/2

I'm fairly certain your link only includes added sugars which is not the total number of digestible sugars (digestible carbs = digestible sugars). Unfortunately, most people have the misconception that carbs from "natural sources" (fruits, starches, grains, etc.) don't effect your blood sugar the same as added sugars, but that is incorrect.
Ask HN: How to start a startup in Amsterdam?
I have been approached for a startup. The idea isn't mine, but I think it's good. It solves a problem that some big organizations with money have, and it approaches the solution from the perspective of their users. I like it and want to work on it. There are multiple ways we could get money for this, and he's already working on some of them. He's already put a lot of work into this on his own.

The Ideas Guy pulled my CV from LinkedIn and (for whatever reason) decided that I was the perfect partner with whom to start a startup. We didn't know each other before, but he seems nice and reliable, in his 50s (I'm in my 40s). He also wants to get someone for finance/back office and then found the company with the three of us. I'm not sure we need a dedicated finance/back office person at the start, but what do I know?

The past couple of years, I worked as a freelancer. This feels like a logical next step. I have a family, but my wife has a good job, and I saved up enough money that I can afford a pay cut. Hopefully the equity will make up for it, but I think I can also afford the risk.

So what do I need to pay attention to? How do I determine what a reasonable amount of equity is? What legalities do we need to get arranged? Should I get my own lawyer? How do I determine whether I'm good enough and whether he's good enough? How do I select a software team? How do I plan this? (My past couple of jobs were with big, slow moving organizations. A startup needs to move a lot faster than that, I assume.) Can 40- and 50-somethings run a startup and still be in bed in time and take the kids to school? How do I make sure I pick the right technology stack? (I'm leaning towards Angular+Scala/Finatra, though I have no Finatra and little Scala experience yet. Is that wise?) Are there any Dutch subsidies or VCs we should know about?

What other things am I missing?
The premise obviously doesn't make sense.

Start-up means getting started, starting up something, early into the formation, a young entity, etc. To claim a massive 40 year old business - with many old products - can be a start-up, would be to intentionally obfuscate the historical use of the term. There's no good reason to declare that Apple was a start-up when it was growing fast, it makes no sense. What would be the purpose of contorting the language for that? It's a: "fast growing company," that's all the description that's necessary for any older business that grows quickly.
Spending 50% of your income on rent is only a big deal if the other 50% isn't significant. Someone who makes 20k a month but spends 10k on rent still has 10k a month for other expenses.

That said, I am a developer and live with my family about 45min public transit-only commute away. I've done the driving thing, I love reading too much to give that time away. My kids and my wife much prefer not living in the city and I get a 3+br for less than the 1br listed here.
I guess it only becomes a real power tool if you learn to navigate and harness the power of the 2 side-by-side panels by keyboard.

Long story short, let me sum up some of my favorite features:

- Tab to switch between panels
- Navigate with arrow keys through the files list
(very handy if you have it on 'brief' view, especially since you can walk
through whole directories with left/right arrow until you hit the '..')
- CTRL + F1/ CTRL+F2 to select drive for the left or right panel
- Using any type of packer (zip,arj,7z, etc) as a directory by just hitting
enter on it to see the files inside, view them, extract, add and remove
- CTRL + Pagedown to navigate even into some packaged files that aren't
normally accessible as folders (like .msi)
- F-Keys with a clear indicator at the bottom to move and copy files, insert
to select and move to the next file
- F3 for an all you can eat file viewer that can switch to different view modes
like HEX by pressing 1,2,3,4 and doesn't bork on large files
- F4 launches your favorite editor
- Hit space on a directory to compute the full size recursively
- ALT+F7 for find-in-files and fast file search
- The most powerful multi-rename tool you could ever wish for in the file menu
- Built-In FTP Client (CTRL + F) with a favorite list, queue list
and resume from queue list.
- Download any random file (with resume and queue) using CTRL+N (HTTP/FTP)
- Plugin support to enhance the thing with stuff like SFTP/FTPS support,
which you can open from the 'network' drive
- Background copy for most operations (in it's own thread, and with pause)
- Double click the file path at the top of the panel for a popup hotlist where
you can add favorite jump-to spots
- CTRL + Arrow key opposite to the current panel opens the folder under the
cursor in the opposite panel
- CTRL + UP arrow on a folder opens it in a new tab (which you can even lock to
persist them or have handy nav points)
- Numpad + to select files in a folder according to a wildcard
- Numpad * inverts currrent selection or selects all
- Pack some files using CTRL + F5 on a selection

There's just so much goodness that this list could go on and on for way too long.
Double Commander comes close on Linux, but there's no thing like TotalCMD for me when i'm on Windows.
I think Maciej's mind is getting seriously poisoned by the hatred towards SV. I understand the anger - hell, I abhor the ad-driven tech too, I've stopped believing in the startup marketing long time ago. But just because companies say bullshit to make money doesn't mean the tech doesn't work, or that technologists are worse than normal people because they use their brains to solve complex problems. This, and previous talks start to sound less like pointing out existing problems and more like anti-intellectualism.

In Maciej's recent talks I feel a sense of defeat that he's trying to mask with calls to actions and thinly-veiled insults towards programmers. Like the constant references to politics - if there's one thing true in this world, it's that the politics is one of the least cost-effective way of solving anything one can imagine. If people want to do tech, or science, instead of politics, maybe it's not because they're stupid, but because they want to do something effective? After all, it's not politicians who fed the world, it was Haber & Bosch. It wasn't environmentalists who saved whales from extinction, it was whoever invented that synthetic whale-oil substitute.

While I accept I might be a bit technophilic, I think some of Maciej's recent comments border on ridiculousness. Criticizing not just Google per se, but the very effort at curing death? It's not hubris. It's something we should have been focused on doing for at least past few hundred years. If it takes rich SV guys to finally do something about it, I think instead calling them full of hubris one should instead ask, why it was them who finally started tackling this problem in a way that has at least a chance of being effective.

Another point - Maciej said that "really it's just the regular old world from before, (...) [and] it has the same old problems.". Well, people don't change (fast enough), their problems don't change. But the world looks very different than it looked few hundred, or few thousand years ago. So what changed, if not people?

I say, technology. Personally, I'm getting more and more convinced that social changes are caused by changes in technology landscape, not the other way around. I.e. we didn't have liberal democracy 500 years ago not because we were stupid then, but because technologies that can support it - like the printing press, effective firearms, etc. - did not exist or did not yet reach the point of ubiquity.

So yeah, daily bashing of advertisers and anti-social startups is fun. But let's not pour the baby, the soup and the whole medicine cabinet out with the bathwater.

If the goal of Airbnb's investors/BoD was to grow a viable business, this would be a reasonable question - but their job is to increase the value of their (and their LPs') existing investment as much as possible, usually within a fixed time window.

Word and Excel are not that reliable at all. I can't say LibreOffice is much better, but all graphical office software has let me down more often than I'd like to recount.

Excel has trouble opening any kind of CSV files, let alone if they're a bit too big. Word recently got stuck in a "save loop", making you painstakingly click the "don't save" option on your work because trying to save does nothing anymore. Both examples are from the past two months.

It's definitely about the specific businesses that are on the one way street. And I might recall (been awhile since I read the book), that he specifically used the example of changing from two way to one way and that the result is businesses on the affected street lost revenue.

It makes intuitive sense. When a street is two way cars pass by both directions each day increasing the likelihood of stopping at a store on that street. When streets are one way, then stores only get people driving by once a day, and so they lose revenue.
I have used Epoch[0] and Rickshaw[1] before for similar purposes, and have heard that Plotly works well too (especially if the process that is generating the data is Python-based).
For simple line charts, maybe Smoothie[2]?

Currently, I am trying to make a dashboard for visualizing many different data sources with WebSockets and Chartjs but it's still not quite ideal-- there's a bit of lag, and sending too much data via JSON really slows things down.
If anyone has solved that this problem I would appreciate it if they told me how they did it.

About the only Alfred feature I use is multiple item clipboard, and that alone is worth the price of the license for me. I'm going to dig into the other uses that folks have suggested here.
I'd agree, but argue that at the same time, you'd want visit in person anyway, so its meaningless from both sides of the market. I had to give up on this idea, so I may be biased. Some people are making money, and there are actually some really cool ones out now with "true" 3d modelling, but I don't think its worth pursuing. You'd be better of with something your customers actually want to pay for. (sry if negative on this)

BTW, since you appear to be bootstraping, you should check out barnacl.es, it's a community for like-minded solo startups doing their own thing. PS: for some reason I can see the wordpress header bar on your website now, some sort of web cache artifact or something?

True, but the difference after tax and everything else is a few hundred dollars a month.
It might be Netbeans, or it might be Java EE as a language, but that's the opposite of reliable. Stuff breaks when you breathe on it and is often fixed by something like deleting your Netbeans cache folder or just restarting Netbeans (after you've been hunting a Java bug for 2 hours). The most common phrase in class as people try to use this for a semester-long fourth-year programming project: "I didn't change anything, this worked yesterday when I went home!"
I believe I could make a solid argument for that. :P

But no, it's just that all the bad poets in the original article were machines in the end.
Being profitable and requiring no outside funding is probably somewhat negatively-correlated with being a startup (because growth is often - though obviously not always - slower).

I've always just used "startup" to mean a private company that hasn't exited yet. You just have to qualify this futher. So Uber, Airbnb, Dropbox, Pinterest, etc. are all categorized as "large pre-IPO startups."
I would love to write modern C++--the language looks remarkably usable; however, the build system and tooling are still overwhelmingly bad (at least for cross platform projects). When something like `cargo` or the `go` tool appear (in the mainstream), give me a call. The build system is the deal breaker for me, not the language.
I don't think you would actually weigh it. You would put it in a container, then measure the pressure and knowing the density of the gas and the volume of the container you can deduce the mass.

If you want to actually weigh using a scale, then put it in a container, measure the total mass accurately and then subtract the mass of the container and the buoyancy due to the atmospheric pressure gradient. The remainder is the mass of the gas.
This is actually a serious concerns when it comes to AI. People tend to think it's overblown but non deterministic behavior is bad because you don't know what the program will do. Maybe it crashes, maybe nothing happens, maybe it nukes your cpu. You simply don't know. The first rule of true AI has to be to ensure it values human life. It would be grossly irresponsible to create an entity more intelligent than us and do otherwise. But what happens when the military inevitably decides these new AI things would make really good drone pilots. Or when a sufficiently powerful enough AI comes to the conclusion that the best way to protect human life is to take human life. What's the end result of that conflict. What's stopping a sufficiently intelligent AI from rewriting it's own code to get around restrictions it doesn't like. We already have self modifying code. It's a scary thought, and the fact that people are basing these things off the way humans think makes it even scarier
Exactly. Why implicitly suggest it is recurring, but then deliberately exclude it from the recurring fees section.
I second you on that. I only started using IntelliJ when I started heavy Java development. IntelliJ and its sister tools are a great help if you don't have the time to get into the nuances of whatever language you're using.

Go look up bengali holocaust where millions of indians were starved to death by the british. It's also funny that you would bring up death camps ( which were invented and pioneered by the british ). The germans modeled their death camps after the british death camps of south africa...

Looks like a holocaust picture right? Wrong. It was from a british concentration camp in south africa during the 2nd boer war.

> WWII was against genocidal maniacs who starved entire countries and destroyed Yiddish speaking culture.

WW2 was about one group of genocidal maniacs fighting against another group of genocidal maniacs for resources/power/wealth.

I don't think the allies ( US, Britain, Soviet Union ), the KINGS of genocide are any better than germany or japan when it came to genocide. As bad as the destruction of yiddish culture may have been, it pales in comparison to what happened to the natives, aborigines, inuit, pacific islanders, africans, siberians, circassians, etc.

As I said, in ww2, it was evil vs evil. Evil won and evil lost. If both sides had somehow lost, then you could argue that the good won.
The French are also to blame, and the Germans exploited the British and French mismanagement with considerable glee (as did the USSR WRT the US' mismanagement in the region for a while, and vice versa).
As a former TA, I can say that finding out if a student completed a project/exercise on its own is _very_ easy. Poking around the code asking questions for around 2 minutes is largely enough. Instead of DMCA-ting github repos, I find it way more effective to have a five minute talk about what is "cheating" and what is not at the beginning of the semester. Collaborative brainstorming is encouraged, helping struggling others is fine, giving them solutions is not (because you're just stealing their reward).

After a while they would eventually stop looking up solutions and just ask their peers for some advice/code review. My job became surprisingly easy when I started treating students like adults.
I prefer code over comments

userHasPermission = (loggedIn() && hasRole(ROLE_ADMIN))
if (userHasPermission) {
dataIsValid = (data != null && validate(data))
if (dataIsValid) {
...
}
}

That's shorter, introduces terms in reading order (readers do not have to wonder what if (loggedIn() && hasRole(ROLE_ADMIN)) means before encountering userHasPermission. Yes, you can write the comment before the if statement, but then, it tends to become longer: "check whether the user has permission to do this") and less likely to become inconsistent when code evolves.

I see such comments as symptoms of time pressure or a somewhat sloppy, but caring, programmer.

Well that's my point. That the term "startup" is already hopelessly corrupted, and by the OPs standard Apple would count.
