Interesting article, keep it up!
I was very happy with HP's "return to engineering" when Hurd came aboard, even invested in it. The whole Fiorina drama really left a bad taste in my mouth, but somehow Hurd brought HP back to its cultural center-of-gravity, even considering the challenging, monster acquisitions.

But WTF just happened? Why are they acting so randomly? HP's standards are double because the Board will fire an effective CEO (for mistakes that can be dealt with quietly and fairly), and yet only weeks later sues for his reasonable employment choices. Where is the high moral ground in that?

It is as if the board wants to avoid paying the market price for their impracticality.
What is the reason for your objection to paid content? I don’t see how charging money for content is wrong in any way. Said content could easily be deserving of links from HN, I know of no guideline or informal rule that would discourage such practice.
The reason for the name Agile is that it was defined in opposition to what came before it- heavyweight, big design up front, fixed requirements, documentation heavy, non-incremental, non-iterative processes. These methods had names- CMM, RUP, V Model, MDA, MIL-STD-498, and we needed a name for the anti-method to go against them and not be labeled a cowboy coder with no process at all, and sidelined from all important decisions.

These were attempts to take the risk and uncertainty out of the process. Agile is an attempt to provide practices and approaches for dealing with the uncertainty- "embrace change" is very much the opposite of the "change is too expensive" mindset that it was trying to reset.

This adjective "agile" is important, if only to be used as a defense against 300 page requirement documents set in stone by a contract, 500 diagram architectures created before a line of code was written, developers who never got to talk to a user.

If we didn't have agile coaches and advocates, people who sat down to come up with a way to run their project might come up with the naive algorithm and head straight over the waterfall.

I can see how the name doesn't seem to make much sense now that it is bandied about in very prescriptive step by step methods that probably seem not very agile to a person who had not lived through the horrors that came before. However, that is how it should be understood.
No mention of getting an adequate amount of sleep? Exercise makes me feel even worse if I'm not getting enough sleep.
Acne is a normal physiological process ... that functions to ward off potential mates until the afflicted individual is some years past the age of reproductive maturity, and thus emotionally, intellectually, and physically fit to be a parent.

Oh how polite of evolution to provide such a convenient way to ward off potential suitors on your behalf. I'm calling BS. Evolution wants to spread genetics as quickly as possible and isn't going to wait for you to be emotionally and intellectually ready, at the risk of you dying in the mean time.
As Stadiums Vanish, Their Debt Lives On
After listening to DHH speak at Startup School a few years ago I came to the conclusion that for an entrepreneur a "lifestyle business" is a much more probable path to getting rich than the grow-fast-and-flip approach demanded by VCs and angel investors.

In retrospect, it seems pretty obvious, but previously I had really only been exposed to entrepreneurship through PG's blog. I had never heard of 37 Signals before. I appreciate PG's writing because it made me realize that starting my own business was a realistic option, but I wish I had been introduced to entrepreneurship by 37 Signals instead. I wasted more than a half a year building free web services before I figured out I should specifically be building things that I could charge customers money for.

Embarrassing to admit, but true.
Ask HN: What's The Best Multi-Domain SSL Certificate?
I'm looking to purchase a multi-domain SSL Certificate but am not sure if there's anything special I should be looking for. It will be running off an IIS 7.5 web server and used for different blogs, webmail etc. There's not going to be any commercial activity on it so I just need something to make it secure for people logging in.

I'm not doing my own as the general public will be logging into some sites and I don't want them to have to worry about certifcate pop-ups.

I'm looking to have about 10 domains to start using them.

This is on a Rackspace cloud server so I would prefer to do them all of of one IP as there's only a max of 4 per server.

Is there any major differences between the following?

Right now GoDaddy seems the best as I don't need anything special and they have good prices 10 domains for $170/yr
http://www.godaddy.com/ssl/ssl-certificates.aspx?isc=sslqgca02a&ci=9039

StartSSL looks like it has multiple domain names for $49 and I'd imagine $49 for each additional domain? They look to be for 2 years though:
https://www.startssl.com/?app=39

Comodo seems ok, but you only get 3 domains for $330 and then each additional one costs $95!
http://www.comodo.com/business-security/digital-certificates/multi-domain-ssl.php

Geocerts have 10 for $549, but they're aimed at business:
http://www.geocerts.com/ssl/tbidmd

GlobeSSL has one for $155 but again, that's 3 domains. Though it's only $50 USD for an additional year.

Not really, in Rails, you might have to do more than just retrieve some models. For instance, you might have to load up the current user, grab some stuff from memcache, check with your SSO system to validate the session, and then retrieve the data pertinent to the current request. Then, you might have to make some data modifications (which will create transactions and hit your db.) Finally, the view rendering can begin.

In only the trivial cases can you defer the actual SQL queries from being performed before the view is rendered.
You think your son can make that much money coding? what opportunities do you see for him? Source them and take a commission, mid two digits, really :-)
Thats an article from 2002. The late model Zondas are different beasts. Probably near 7 figure price tags. Its in the same class as the Ferrari Enzo and Bugatti Veyron. The first 09 Zonda Cinque, sold for about $2Million US. And the Zonda F clubsport is in the $650,000+ range.

It's one of my favorite cars, and its beautifully engineered. Kudos to DHH. I've read he's an avid autocrosser so its nice to know this isn't a going to be a show piece.

Its proof that it pays to be long-term greedy.

I'm not entirely convinced that "society starts conditioning for gender roles very early". You'd have to show me hard data. On the other hand, there is fascinating evidence to prove the reverse:

Case in point is David Reimer, who received the first ever sex re-assignment surgery conducted on a developmentally normal child at age 22 months. David became Brenda.

"At age 2, Brenda angrily tore off her dresses. She refused to play with dolls and would beat up her brother and seize his toy cars and guns."

He probably is, but...

An in-law of mine married a guy who spent the first $90,000 he made as a doctor on a Porsche. He owed hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loans, just got married and was only making about $120K... He just really wanted a Porsche.
So, it's basically Chrome OS glued to a TV tuner with quick access to a search bar.

Count me not impressed. Similar (and more featureful) stuff has been around in other OSS projects like MythTV and XBMC for years at this point.
This is really cool. I love C#, it's a great language and this opens up some cool new possibilities.

Interesting to see MS doing so much open sourcing these days too.
Why is HN so obsessed with exercise?

I'm quite happy as a lazy slob. I ran track and x country in high school, but I didn't like exercise then and I still don't.

I'm sure it would probably make me healthier, but it just isn't worth the discomfort to me. Stop making me look bad, guys.
He's not talking about eager loading associations. It's AR 3.0 backed by arel that allows ALL queries to be lazily loaded, as in, they are declared in the controller cleanly, but they only run in the view (and furthermore they only run if the view needs them).

Including assocations is an orthogonal issue. As far as I know they get the same benefit out of the box in Rails 3. For example, I think you can say:

@posts = Post.where(:published => true).include(:comments)

And it will still load it all eagerly, but it won't do it until you actually iterate over @posts.
DHH is a partner of 37signals. I don't think it's public what his share is but he must be getting a healthy share of the profits. Even if you pluck ignorant yet sane estimates out of the air, it can easily add up.

According to Wikipedia, the Zonda Cinque Roadster is limited to 5 units and costs around $2m, so this is probably a $1.5m-$3m project.

Could DHH have amassed several million in the last few years at 37signals? I can't see why not. Blindly assume they have 100k accounts paying an average of $40 per month (not unreasonable given their price tiers), that's $48m per year. With a typically healthy profit margin, there's no reason why he couldn't be taking a dividend of several million per year.

And with no wife or kids (from what I know), dropping even a quarter of your wealth on a single mindblowing car doesn't strike me as particularly extravagant. After all, some people spend thousands of dollars on a TV when they have barely anything in the bank.

Disclaimer: I have no insider knowledge of DHH's affairs and am just pulling numbers out of my ass that seem possible to me given what DHH and 37signals have said over the years.
The Enterprises I work with IE the Government, won't allow Apple in their product line at all. Why you ask, because they are a closed system. Android on the other side they will definitely use and have started to.

I wonder what level of humidity that 2 dB per kilometer figure is for? Is that typical or worst case?

At 20 kilometers (about 12.4 miles), a distance this ISP is trying to serve some customers at, that 2 db becomes 40db.
Overcoming an additional 40 db loss would require increasing the power by a factor of 10,000 times. They're using amplifiers and directional antennas but the fade margin is nowhere near 40 db. And they do have fading problems. Of course refraction/reflection from temperature/humidity inversion gradients and other propagation effects come into play too. It isn't just simple absorption.

Well, this is a bit of a fools' errand. I went ahead and searched google and found support for any conceivable position on the whole stretching situation. Anyways, this is what I was taught:

http://www.bodybuildingforyou.com/articles-submit/tanja-gard...

For strength training, there’s evidence that stretching before a workout is counter-productive. Strength training requires muscles to contract tightly against a heavy weight, and loosening the muscle fibres by stretching them first reduces their ability to do this. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t warm your muscles up before strength training – just avoid stretching them first. If you want to include stretching in the same workout as strength training, it’s better to wait until after you’ve finished your weights work.

I typically warm up on the elliptical machine for 5 minutes and then for each muscle group I'm doing that day I start with a set of low weight/high reps to warm it up. After the workout I do stretch my hamstrings because I sit on my ass all day.
Ah, yes. I see what you are saying now. I was unaware that the abstract relational algebra was also able to defer joins. That is really an impressive bit of kit.

While this does satisfy the objection to association loading, you still have the general problem of delaying the flushing until after all controller processing has completed. for nontrivial applications, this may indeed take quite some time (talking with disparate backends for a SOA, for example.)
You must be an Arab. Arabs say somebody's nice car looks "ugly" to misdirect negative spirits and the "evil eye".

Try a true english tea like PG Tips - there's just no way you'll fall asleep after drinking a cup of that; the teabag is about 60% bigger than the average american teabag (one of those strange things is that teabags in america are smaller than the english version (same brand)).
I think this is much more likely.

I'm sure he's doing well, but it also sounds like he's a real automotive enthusiast. While $350-500k sounds absurd for a "car", if it is his dream, with how well they've done, and his fees on speaking engagements... that's probably not that far out of reach.

Is it a good investment? In happiness maybe. Some of the best times of my life were taking my car out on the track. I miss it dearly.

After all the shit I've mumbled about him, 37s and rails... that he really wants this car--and appears to know what it is--his stock just went up a bit in my book. Us car guys, we stick together.

edit: Just saw someone else posting that it's more like a $1.5m-$3m project. That certainly changes the scale, but I still think the point applies.
So You Want to Work for a Startup
I don't get your point. Just because you may have to do some things in a before_filter or whatever doesn't mean you need to do all things there. As far as accessing stuff out of memcached is concerned, there's no reason that can't also be deferred to the view.

Claiming that lazy loaded queries is only a benefit for "trival cases" is a strawman. It's a hugely powerful functionality for ActiveRecord that you can utilize in many ways, and would be very hard to implement without low level support.

Cached attributes can often easily be made available via concise single model methods that operate transparently without the controller OR the view needing to know they are cache-backed. Plus, even if you are loading stuff out of memcached in the controller, it's going to be fast, because that's the whole point of memcached.

ActiveRecord meanwhile, normally takes a huge percentage of rendering time. Being able to defer those queries while still allowing the controller to declare them is actually a huge combination of performance flexibility and separation of concerns. Previously, if you wanted to defer them "cleanly", you'd have to create model methods, but even there you would have to pass params through somehow or generally do something uglier than what you have to do now.

Pesticides, steroids, residual contaminants from environmental deposition, and many other sources. Drinking water when you're not thirsty is controversial and may actually overwork your kidneys if done too often; however, with the large amount of caffeine, soda, and alcohol (all diuretics) consumed by the general population, that's rarely an issue.

Obviously, I can't speak for any large body of humans without some kind of rigorous scientific evidence, but passive observation of coworkers, friends, and family leads me to believe that most people don't drink nearly enough water. It could be different where you live though.
You may be doing it worse by just avoiding fat. You should worry more about sugar, to begin with.
Yeah, if this is what founding a "dipshit company" or a "lifestyle business" earns you, count me in.

DHH has a lot of critics, but remarkably few of them drive supercars.
Hm, that's an interesting story. (Somewhat weird and immoral that they would change someone's biological gender before they have the ability to understand what's going on, much less consent, but we can look at the case.)

I don't think that Reimer's case disproves what I say--I was dealing more with the roles which the genders often play, and the fields to which men vs. women are more likely to enter, while this case deals with gender identity. Gender identity is likely not something which is affected significantly by environmental changes, but it is far more likely (I unfortunately don't have numbers and don't know where to look--does anyone know of a relevant study?) that gender roles could be significantly affected by upbringing.

There's no natural reason why women shouldn't go into tech, other than that it's a male-dominated field and that women are, in modern society, often encouraged to avoid such fields.
Nice. So ChallengePost, Inc. was founded January '08 [1], has Steve Wozniak as an advisor [2], already has a PageRank of 6/10 [3], and now has successfully launched a government site [OP]. At what point do you guys start considering yourselves a successful/promising company, no longer a "startup"?

Not really, in Rails, you'd do that stuff in a before filter.

One thing that truly irks me about mobile browsers is that there is no way (as far as I can tell) to trick them out with add-ons and Greasemonkey scripts to make them behave as you prefer.

As a user I should be able to white- or black-list who can create databases on my mobile device, but so far this kind of control is not possible with the default browsers.
Evidence for this? I can see why the magazine example might make sense since english pages turn on the right side, but that doesn't really translate to webpages; i've always heard that top left was the most valuable page real estate.
I assume he meant for a startup :)
No, what they done wrong is not to make a proper 2 way conversion tool for their database backup.
Starting from scratch is no problem if you got your core data covered, then you can always revert back.

Don't ever develop yourself into a one way street!!
This is a great idea. I think the same can be achieved in a lot of other neighborhoods in NYC, some closer to where action is, with a bit of planning, willing to share living space, and pure luck. For example, you can find a room in East Village/Lower East Side for < 700/month.
Well what would you prefer? A complete re-architecture of Rails to support SOAs? Declaring head and body renders separately? They did the hard work for ActiveRecord. Most Rails apps still use ActiveRecord and have a relatively straightforward architecture. If you want the same benefit for your SOA architecture, it's not that hard, just build a middleware layer that defers the queries like arel does. Even better, follow the facebook approach, render a page shell and load the content via AJAX. That will ultimately get you the best performance by far, allowing faster response times, piecemeal loading, maximal offloading of processing to the client side, and opens up interesting avenues for caching possibilities.

Rate My Startup: SiteFont - A website webapp for small business
SiteFont is a hosted website service targeted towards small and/or service-oriented businesses. It's yet another variant of the existing business model of website builders.

The main differentiation aim is speed of setup and ease of use. The target market are moderately-internet-literate people (which means nothing too bleeding edge).

Keep in mind it's very much a beta. I should get some more themes done for it if the feedback from the beta is positive.

One question that's been bothering me is ... how to price this? Would small business owners/operators find it compelling enough to pay for it? I guess only time will tell.

(It's a bit tangential posing this question here since HN isn't the target demographic, but any insights or opinions would be appreciated.)

The other question is ... how to promote this and tell people about it? That's another big topic (and probably my biggest weakness - marketing and promotion).

Anyway, enough talk from me.

If you are interested, please have a look, give the demo a spin, and give me your thoughts, comments, criticisms, flames etc.

Thank you.

Radioisotopic Investigation in Respiratory Disorders
They didn't really cover the important question of why modern wifi still uses 2.4GHz rather than the much wider 5GHz spectrum. Anyone living in a crowded apartment building owes it to themselves to get 5GHz routers so avoid interference with their neighbors' wifi. For some reason its getting harder to find 5GHz access points and most online stores don't let you search by frequency band.
Not necessarily true. A VP can, and maybe should be, fired for choosing a technology, like Cassandra (or implementation of using Cassandra) which turns out to be very problematic.

There is a lot here this is not known, and maybe there is a valid reason for firing the VP because I chose to "fire" the last database and switch to Cassendra.
