i made http://hntrades.com/ this afternoon after reading the domain thread.

it supports adding books, though i could work on some code to be able to put in an isbn number to automatically pull the book information.

WRV is a local surf shop where I live and while I don't own the website I hate having to type in their URL. I think it would be a nice gift, even if it's temporary.

Thanks in advance.

A fair question, though I like Su's outlook:

Use Occam’s Razor in interpersonal relations: look for the simplest, most straightforward explanation that assumes the best of everybody. Stay away from people who always have a conspiracy theory involving twisted office politics, unfulfilled Machiavellian ambitions, and unspoken agendas.
matt is fine, again I don't have a solution yet for the IP less redirects but I'll think of a way to do it, probably a small lookup table on one of my servers.

I was hoping to keep it simple though :)
As a tool for doing work though, people that spend most of there time working on the go aren't able to really do this with an Ipad, sure the MBP is fairly compact but to carry all the time the air definitely has a market.
Any chance you could post your configuration files somewhere ? (you know PHP, varnish, etc.) It'd be great to grok those.

Do you want to get into a philosophical discussion on what constitutes technology? :P

I believe patents should be used to protect inventions of new technology (e.g. things like light bulbs, telephones (ouch) or cars), not "methods for illuminating the workplace", "methods for notifying people of cancelled appointments" or "ways to transport oneself from home to work".

>Wow, that is the most bullshit explanation for sexual reproduction I have ever seen.

you missed just a small detail - i didn't try to explain sexual reproduction. I was talking about existence of 2 sexes, which overlaps with sexual reproduction, yet is not the same thing.

> It certainly has absolutely nothing to do with making the species stronger. Natural selection does not work on a species level, only on the level of an individual organism or gene. If a species is not "strong" it goes extinct.

thank you. That clearly settles our discussion why women haven't been successful in areas where analysis of facts and synthesis of theories explaining the facts is the main mode of operation.

I stand by my point. Those who scream offense should more often look within themselves. This is especially true of people offended by sexuality because we are a culture so ridden by sexual guilt that most of us are confused and repressed.

That is not "ad hominum." It is not directed at anyone here. It is as true for me as it is for the author of this post and yourself, and it is a philosophy I practice myself and from which I have learned a great deal.

I am not discussing the psychology of my critics any more than myself. This entire conversation is about psychology, so it's a difficult subject to avoid. If you feel the conversation is about you personally, it is not my intention.

I came into this knowing full well my opinions are not politically correct. For better or worse, I simply don't agree that we should all tiptoe around each other's sensitivities.
I agree ... I have a 13.3" and an old, broken 12.1" and I really feel the difference. I also have an 11.6" and love the size but it's a netbook so it's pretty crap.

A high quality 11.6" would be awesome if the price is nice.

You've received several votes for your comment, and I respect that.

But I also respect those who prefer a language which offers type safety. One which does not lay traps of unexpected coercion and unfathomably unusual truth tables. I respect a language which can guarantee and enforce immutability at compile time. I respect a language which has had a sensible packaging system from the outset. One which served as the foundation for many as an introduction to object-oriented programming. A language whose primary implementation is based upon a powerful, performant virtual machine, and one which has had excellent support for concurrent execution of programs and components thereof for nearly a decade. I respect a language whose implementations are not wildly divergent. I am fortunate enough to work with a language whose underlying implementation is flexible enough to host dozens of both static and dynamic languages - including JavaScript itself.

What I do not respect are blanket unqualified absolutist statements and fundamentalisms. I understand that you may have found yourself frustrated at points during which you've written Java in the past. I would like to hear about these, and understand them better. But I'd also encourage you to avoid such totalizing statements, as for a variety of reasons, many may have very good reasons for enjoying things you do not.

Ask HN: RE-BRANDING... any advice?
The time has come to rebrand my website printingfacebook.com. The name has done me well over the past couple of weeks, but It's got to change. For one because I;m getting ready to launch more products that go beyond facebook, (but still in social network print space). Also because my quick success will inevitably lead to a call from facebook's legal team.
This was a marketing decision to launch with. I figured if i ever got big enough for facebook to notice, then i'd think about this at that time... the time came earlier than i was expecting.

I was wondering if anyone had any advice for me. How to smoothly streamline to a new brand identity?

Any ideas or advice that will specifically pertain to my biz? I'll monitor here, so i can answer questions should they arise.
You can also reach me by email if you want to get in touch more directly or privately benjaminlotan@gmail

thanks!
Enjoy it while you can, until an uncaring market starves it to death and it turns into an ad network, for lack of viable alternatives.

Depressing as that is, perhaps the future holds promise. As the cost of building startups keeps trending down, maybe timing will stop mattering as much, and business model innovation (such as freemium) will save good technology from turning into ad networks?

Isn't this part of the skill required to build a successful business anyway, your technology is only as good as the people selling it. Where would google be, if they hadn't hit on AdSense?

“I'm still bummed that I failed to talk you in to making #!/usr/bin/javascript work back then, because I think that we were still in the window where we had a shot at smothering Perl in the crib...”
I don't disagree with this.

However I also think being overly sensitive, and taking yourself too seriously, is poisonous. Like bringing up politics or religion, there is a gray area. Nobody wants to hear a talk about ruby laden with penis jokes (actually I'm not so sure about that,) however a few jokes or sexual references can lighten things up and "keep it real."

I'd put jokes and sexual references in similar categories - distracting, but also helpful.

It shouldn't have any effect since Google views subdomains as separate entities. This is why it's better to have your company blog at www.domain.com/blog as opposed to blog.domain.com. Getting a lot of links to blog.domain.com doesn't help www.domain.com.

"It has zero accuracy..."

Not so. Watch what happens at 1:09 of this video of the 2005 Tyler, Texas courthouse shootout. David Arroyo (the guy with the AK-47) cuts down running civilians, cops - in short, everyone he sees. He's using his AK-47 in semi-auto mode (one trigger pull = one shot) very effectively against moving human targets:

One lesson from the video: stay behind cover while looking for a shooter.

Except for that one time when you need a crypto library no one's written in js yet so you just use GWT to make the Java one run in the browser.
Have the exact same setup — 2009 15" MBP with an SSD and Optibay. However, I didn't have to drill any holes, and I moved the Seagate to the Optibay and the SSD to the standard HDD slot, and I've never had any bus issues whatsoever at 3Gbps — it's rock-solid. Latest Sandforce chipset. Odd.
hm

That's an interesting one, I've never actually set that up and it goes beyond the scope of where I can still easily see what's going on, so I think I should not do that.

Any specific reasons why you would want this ?
If only you had noticed that the other response to the comment confused the requirement...

good luck!
Since I replied in that thread, here's an update. A year's subsequent experience has diluted my enthusiasm, though not too much (say by 20%). JS is an easy language to generate because it's so flexible. Some of its most loosey-goosey weirdnesses (like the arguments pseudo-array) turn out to work really well for representing other languages' constructs (such as, say, named args). The big downside is if you're trying to do anything computationally intensive. To the extent that you want code to do anything numeric or binary, you're in trouble - forced to work at too high and too kludgey a level. Of course JS wasn't designed for anything like this and the fact that we're even talking about it in this context is a testament to fantastic technical and not just market success.

A couple side notes...

Actionscript is the inverse case, an abominable language that manages to wreak incredible damage on something pretty good (ECMAScript) in surprisingly few steps -- mainly, as far as I can tell, by trying to turn into something "proper" a.k.a Java, a fate that JS itself was fortunately forced to avoid -- but it provides access to one lower level than JS does, and this is a big deal for some kinds of programs. We're probably going to use Flash (when available) as a computational accelerator for this reason.

Second, our results suggest that the real gamechanger here is V8. I know that most of the benchmarks out there show Tamarin and other VMs somewhat competitive with V8. Not in our world. I'm talking a couple of orders of magnitude difference. It's astonishing. If everyone would just use Chrome, we would have no performance problems at all.

Edward Jenner introduced the variola vaccine in the late 1700s. Polio didn't even become a major problem until after his death!

>In developed countries during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, improvements were made in community sanitation, including better sewage disposal and clean water supplies. These changes drastically increased the proportion of children and adults at risk of paralytic polio infection, by reducing childhood exposure and immunity to the disease.

How much oil do you have to drain to change the filter? And do you just pour the drained oil back in or do you top it off with fresh oil?

How often do you keep running the same oil through, anyway?

The most important question you both need to answer is which is more important: Friendship or the business?

If it's friendship then don't involve lawyers (that will almost certainly end it) and find a way to part under terms such that you can remain friends. In this case don't worry about plus or minus ten percent. It won't matter. Go your separate ways and preserve your mutual peace-of-mind.
What really gets me about this, is I actually never considered how little I'd want to work at Microsoft until I heard him answer this question. Granted he's not a developer, but he should at least know something about one.

Javascript and Java manifest their defects differently. Javascript has its own special deployment problems (largely due to history not just intrinsic problems) but for the most part its defects surface as surprising behavior in certain specific cases (unusual truth tables to be sure, but hardly unfathomable), these can bite you but once known they can be avoided and worked around. Java's faults generally manifest as limitations to what you can do. This makes Java seem more polished but the result in practice has been the generation of quite a lot of ugly and cumbersome code to work around those limitations, this is not a good thing.

Java is not a bad language, but its limitations have led to a lot of bad engineering. Javascript is far from perfect, but its core elegance has led to increasingly sophisticated and increasingly powerful uses of the language. In another, say, 10 years the state of Java development will almost certainly continue the status quo of today, whereas the state of javascript development is likely to have considerably advanced.
This is good advice. A not-too-heavy, high-quality cordless drill is excellent for driving screws, turning bolts, etc., as well as drilling small holes. If you ever have to get into tight spaces or work in attics, crawl spaces, or outdoors far from an outlet, it's great. And often, especially in tight quarters, you don't even want all the torque a good-quality plug-in drill develops -- it can smash your hand if it catches on something.

And having a plug-in, high-power drill (preferably with a hammer feature if you might be going thru block, stucco, or concrete) is an excellent complement.

Switzerland gets a lot closer to direct democracy than most and is somewhat successful at it.

But their system is designed so people have more sovereignty over their own lives, rather than everybody being able to decided everything for everybody.

The Swiss government has to get the people's approval for most major things. And people can leave their canton if they don't like it.

The key is having mechanisms that keep the power decentralized.
That sounds like a project worth releasing.
