If you stand, proper keyboard height is very important. Your wrists should not be bent while you type; otherwise, you risk a repetitive stress injury.
I have a hard time with names; I generally think of this as "the third quartile effect". Most people self-evaluate themselves as being in the third quartile of ability - the lowest fifty percent overestimate their ability, while the highest quartile tend to underestimate themselves.
Most of the time, I feel stupid here.

I found the face a few months after buying the cd in 1999, but only thought to put it online after a friend gave me some webspace in 2001.

I shared the page with some friends on IRC, but it largely went unnoticed until 2002, when someone linked it somewhere (a newsgroup, maybe?), and it went viral.

I had some serious doubts about putting this on HN, and I'm glad to see that my worst fears weren't realized. What swung me towards posting it was the hope that someone on here would have some insight as to why Apple is following this course; unfortunately I have not seen anything solid in that regard.

My own take is that to some extent, it's about social class. There may be FoxNews fans who are Mac fans as well, but Apple's brand is an aspirational one; and like BMWs or Volvos it ends up being associated with upper middle-class liberal values even though the product itself has no such bias.
I am really considering buying one for my father's 50th. He's a professional programmer at an Israeli Startup and not the biggest Apple fan but I did convince him to buy a couple shares back pre-iPhone. What do you guys think?

At one point I remember Matter Eater Lad (comic book character, in case you haven't heard of him) having a more extensive entry than Catholicism (religion, in case you haven't heard of it).
I live in San Diego--wouldn't recommend (culture is too diluted). I have stayed with family in Eureka, SLO, and SF--and they are much better choices than southern california. Find a place where the air is breathable, the people are inspiring, and where there are few distractions. This is why I would recommend SLO because it's big enough to be hospitable but small enough to keep you focused (has a moderate climate imo).
Cool, this way it will never be possible for a small group of people to exploit everyone else for their own gain.

Oh, wait.
I'd hate to call this "HTML5" - the only HTML 5 feature it utilises is the Canvas element, which is a pretty dumb bitmap rendering surface.
It could have been rendered with other technologies, but not as efficiently perhaps.

That sort of app isn't exactly the best kind of app to use as an introduction to iPhone apps.. HTTP Live Streaming on the iPhone isn't the simplest thing to start with (and the server would be pretty big on the Mac/Windows/Linux/... side of things).

It is an excellent idea. Just not the type of idea that the OP seems to be looking for (right now!).

Also, not an app that I would release for free, if I were to be the one making it.

People usually say "exercise" as a tip for better posture in general, but nutrition is probably a stronger influence because of its effects on core strength, which will make you tend one way or the other.

So if you aren't already supplementing, try protein and a multivitamin. It might be all you need.

Making Flash games with FlashPunk - Recycling Objects
Why the focus on games? Our company designs, sells, and hosts Flash sites (several thousand) but they aren't games. This is something we need and I imagine it would be very marketable to design agencies and companies that are building non-game microsites for products, movies, bands, etc.

A tool like this would actually be really great for us ... it's hard to track events like when a user brings up a form (but doesn't complete it) or how deep a user goes into an image gallery.

I'm excited to look at the beta ... looks promising.

People get this wrong all the time, and use cheap, sticky keyboards. I made this mistake, and got a repetitive stress injury that made typing painful.

Now I've got a better keyboard and zealous devotion to proper keyboard height, and my hands don't hurt anymore. Don't make the mistakes I did. POSITION YOUR KEYBOARD CORRECTLY! This is important, and warrants capital letters.

Making Flash games with FlashPunk - Input
I had three different therapies for my back (exercise machines, acupuncture and something that hammered the muscles so they would relax, does not hurt as much as it sounds but it hurts) they all lasted for a few month. Two Years ago I started going to work by bike (7km). Doing that every workday has kept the back problems away ever since. I just hope I can keep that up the rest of my (work-)life. Though a shower at work would be nice. Not so much for me but my colleagues :-)

I can still hear podcasts while biking so I don't "loose" the time. Public transportation would take the same amount of time and is more expensive.

We use a lot of compilers. They all vary in ability to detect bugs, and optimization features. The fastest used to be Intel, but right now the Portland group compiler seems to be the best. These are both commercial, though. Of the free compilers, Sun's compiler has been the fastest for us. It will be interesting to see if Oracle will continue that effort.
Though I am far from a foodie, I've really been enjoying these posts, so thank you!
If you have a topic whose entire history consists of a bounded, publicly-observable, enumerable series of events with clearly-defined consequences, then odds are that topic will have a good Wikipedia article. Why? Because those topics are easy to research and don't have much for editors to disagree about.

Sports results and things that happened to characters in TV shows are two examples of this. Lists of discovery dates of minor planets are a third example.

Of course, the third example never comes up in this kind of "Wikigroaning". No blogger seems to characterise writing about lumps of rock in space as a moral failing. And certainly no one assumes that editors who can make lists of rocks in space are fungible with the editors who can write about Ruth Bader Ginsburg's influence on the U.S. legal system.

The idea's simple: you upload a PDF, and then a hard printout is mailed to you ASAP. Useful if you don't have a printer, or want it mailed to someone else, etc. Like FedEx Kinko's except way simpler and only solving the one problem.

If you know of some place already solving this please let me know cuz I have some PDFs to print and I don't want to have to go to Kinko's..

In the Fortran code, this could be run on the GPU by simply surrounding the code by

I know your last comment was in jest, but as someone from the US that travels a lot, I would like to mention that I think it is really important for educated/reasonable US Citizens to engage with locals and other travelers while abroad and let people know that what they see on Fox News (et al) isn't all we have to offer!

Many of my friends and colleagues here at home are some of the most wonderful, intelligent, caring people I have met anywhere on the globe, and it does them a great injustice to let people around the world judge the US based on what they see or hear on TV.

It's the responsibility of those of us that travel to spread the good word of the reasonable US Citizen!
Presentations: Still too hard to mix and match
Ah, the importance we assign to length – because in the past all that stuff had actually to be printed.

Just remember to not read anything into the length of Wikipedia articles. That’s all. Then you will notice that the Ginsburg article is perfectly alright, longer than most of the stuff you will find in printed encyclopedias and maybe in need of some focus.

The problem is dealing with a socialist country you never really own what you have made. They can come in anytime and take away your manufacturing plant, confiscate your physical goods, or block your website. It always happens without fail.
More than that, popular TV shows and sports teams have millions of avid fans who carefully track their trajectories. There are (sadly?) far fewer collectors of Ginsburg-opinion trivia than of The Simpsons trivia or NY Yankees trivia. A lot more of the average daily newspaper or TV news broadcast is also devoted to sports and TV shows than to the Supreme Court.

In response to the article: who cares? If you think Ginsburg’s article is too short, go research her for a few weeks or months and write a better 5000 word or 10000 word version. Having crap you don’t care about described in loving detail somewhere on Wikipedia isn’t going to hurt you, as long as it doesn’t get taken so excessively far that none of it can be verified.

Every computer and browser combination I've ever had slows way down whenever Flash is involved, except for my gaming rig. I shouldn't need a quad-core processor to watch videos.
about 10/11 years ago, this company called homeindia.com used to do this. The idea was that a whole bunch of Indians work in the US/Europe and use email every day, but their families back in India have no internet access. They provided a service where you'd email stuff to them, and they'd print it out and snail-mail it to the destination for a small fee. I have no idea if they survived the dot-com crash of 2001.

They still exist today, but looks very different from what they were back then.

Elsewhere in the thread, I posted some recommendations on books on philosophy of religion from a non-theistic perspective. I guess I should probably list some books on philosophy generally.

1. Bertrand Russell - The Problems of Philosophy

A good introduction to the basic things which philosophers in the Anglo-American/analytic tradition worry about in logic, metaphysics and epistemology (primarily epistemology): induction, a priori knowledge, anti-sceptical arguments, and universals.

2. Hans-Georg Gadamer - Truth and Method

You know about the 'Continental' philosophers, right? All those wacky guys like Derrida. They are all a bit suspicious, right? Like, Heidegger was a Nazi, and Foucault spreads HIV. Yeah, gossip is great. A lot of this type of philosophy seems like bunkum - Alan Sokal showed that, right? Lots of waffly French dudes talking out of their ass, abusing science to basically support their political ideology. Gadamer isn't like that. He sets out to try and answer the question "how do we understand texts?" and rather than saying something goofy like "we just make up what we understand about texts" or that we deconstruct them by subjecting them to our ideological whims, ripping the book apart to suit whatever the passing fancy is. No, Gadamer tries to explicate how the reading of a book is more of a process that starts with pre-judgement - 'prejudice' in Gadamer's words. Such prejudice is natural and actually quite desirable. You do judge a book by the cover. To understand a book as a whole, you need to understand all the components which make it up. But to understand any bit of the book, you need to understand how it fits into the wider contest of the book. This 'hermeneutic cycle' is daunting, but the only thing you can do is jump on board.

3. Saul Kripke - Naming and Necessity

Kripke's book is on a slightly strange topic: how we use names. But how he deals with this is an interesting problem is a model of clarity and philosophical excellence. It has also been very influential - the way Kripke solves the problem with names led to other philosophers producing many so-called causal accounts of all sorts of things.

I'd post some more, but I've got to get the hell out of my hotel room and go to a philosophy conference...
Snow Crash was published in 1992, not in 1975. Still, this dude got it already.

Edit: Sorry, it's probably just a formatting problem and you were referring to The Shockwave Rider.
I'm struggling to think of a genuine use case. The problem is the waiting time.

It might work if your target user was someone who didn't need the printout immediately. Otherwise, you'd have to deliver the printouts pretty damn fast. Faster than Amazon to deliver a printer. But then, you'd have to charge loads, so there may not be a viable business there.

You might want to look for people in some specific profession who have printing problems. Otherwise this might be a solution looking for a problem.
Some ideas that have been going through my head that I don't see myself ever getting around to working on (beyond the initial "jot them down in a notebook" stage):

1. An iPad interface for reMail. Not iPhone, but, definitely something that people would use and exposes you (the OP) to what a nice ObjC codebase looks like (personal formatting nitpicks aside). Might be able charge for this, if you wanted; reMail's source is now Apache 2, iirc.

2. Or maybe take the old Objective-C code from Tim Berners-Lee's original web browser and hack it up to the point where it works (don't know how big of a task this really is) and stick it into an iPad UI that looks how WorldWideWeb originally did. Might get rejected for having a non-WebKit-renderer. And not iPhone. But, I think that it'd be a fun project to hack on and something that you can show off.

3. If you use hg and bitbucket, an equivalent of iOctocat. Or maybe bzr and launchpad, whatever. Again, could probably charge for it, if you wanted to.
Another invalid area is that of Monsanto who have bought up many seed companies, then proceeded to patent the seeds as their own. There is a rule that ideas and patentable concepts must not be public knowledge, or known about by others, prior to being patented. That's why you have to ensure no one knows about your idea, before you patent it, those that do should be under a ND.

STD Wizard: a web-based expert system for recommending STD treatments
I sold a site on auction and it got 2 bids. Most of the sites that get bids are ones which have high page rank or other seo/marketing value.

The site I sold was a legitimate well built twitter marketing tool that had 1.5k users and had sent 700k direct messages. It was well designed and coded as opposed to most of the sites on there.

I sold it because I had another venture that I wanted to focus all my time on so the selling price wasn't as valuable as just getting rid of the site.

Overall the experience with the site was that the site worked well. It probably wasn't the best audience for what I was selling though, hence 2 bids.

> If he begins talking about non-virtual methods being more optimized than virtual one, thanks him for his time and try to find someone else.

What's your problem with this answer? Non-virtual methods can be easily inlined, whereas virtual methods (almost always) require:

1. a load (though a hoistable one) from the vtable

2. an indirect branch

3. register re-allocation

4. function call overhead (standard prologue/epilogue)
I think that LinkedListItem or RefCounted are good candidates for sane virtual base classes.
Fox News is relayed on the News Corp-owned Sky platform in the UK, in an obscure EPG position down among the other "international" news channels from Japan, Russia, France etc.

It doesn't show any advertising - where the US has ad breaks, the UK feed shows information screens with weather and financial information etc. I'm not entirely sure why it's there, to be honest.

Some friends in this country get worked up about Glenn Beck on Twitter but I just find it really hard to care about the rantings of a man on a foreign TV channel, to be perfectly honest. I'm sure there are other TV channels in other countries that are far worse.

As much as I hate the ridiculous iPhone rumor season (which is year-round lately), he was right the last time: http://daringfireball.net/2009/05/the_next_iphone
I believe the US is consuming more than it is producing because government is borrowing so much and because the private sector borrowed so much due to the Fed's chronically below market interest rates.

All this borrowing makes it inevitable that the US consumes more than it produces. It must import as much goods and labor as it borrows, just as you would if you borrowed a large sum of money.

You spend that money to get things from other people or to get their labor. And you will have to pay them back eventually, which is when you will produce more than you consume.

So, while the US may produce more new business and more wealth than other systems, there is also another thing happening at the same time. Namely, all of the borrowing done to create houses and government services we really cannot afford and probably don't need anyway.
Say what you will about Fox News it’s no worse than MSNBC on the other side.

This is the last straw. Fashionable designers seem to prefer fonts that make my eyes itchy. Does anyone know how to disable downloadable fonts in Firefox?

I've tried setting gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled to false, but they're still getting downloaded and used.

EDIT: A browser restart seemed to be necessary - flushing the cache and a full page refresh wasn't sufficient. It looks like that about:config option does work after all.
Nice idea. I can't comment on the product as I wouldn't personally use it - but in terms of the site.

- the rate counter is distracting. Also the cynic in me checked the source code (and refreshed a couple of times) and I see it's static. That puts me off slightly. EDIT: I would make it static and just say "Tracking XXXXX events - and counting!"

- the slideshow layout at the top is, I think, broken on Chrome (Linux). For example games, levels, reports seem to appear randomly on the left behind the buttons and some of the slide pages drop over the counter.

Otherwise nice design :)
