You realize that your post only discusses the fashions in writing that the essay may or may not be part of and not its actual thesis, no?

Personally I prefer to discuss actual reality as opposed to social reality.

You're right, I should have introduced it as a subset of Factor. Factor is much more full-featured, but the syntax of the language is in line with Factor's.
> We're drifting from the topic at hand, but None of the most successful women I know really care or complain about things like he/she in the English language misses the point completely.

No, I understood your point. I think you missed mine though - my point is that you have a limited amount of time each day to direct your attention. If you want to be more successful, or want women to be more successful, then focusing on he/she pronouns is a very bad use of your time. Focusing on creating wealth, learning management, networking, investing, saving, become more disciplined, fit, healthy, exercising are all good uses of time.

After the majority of women are well-informed and well-educated on the topics of nutrition/fitness, finance, investing, negotiation, accounting, self-discipline, goal setting, etc, etc, etc. - after all that's done then let's turn our attention to pronouns. In the meantime, it's rather like stepping over dollars to pick up pennies. Learning more personal finance, investing, and negotiation will massively help anyone's career success, including women. Having everyone switch to singular they will not make so big of a difference.

> Casual minor acts of racism probably have very little effect on Michael Jordan.

I'm getting better at predicting what people's responses to my comments will be - I knew someone would play the racism card. Well done. Comparing the historical use of "he" in English for a singular pronoun to racism smacks of really missing the point though - the point is, pronoun usage is going to have a trivial impact, if any, on people's successes. There's much better places to deploy your energy and resources if you want women to be more successful, either individually or as a group.

> This, on the other hand, resembles a slug match.

I think that is a direct consequence of how the initial findings were presented, it suggests that the peer review process was fast tracked in order to present these results as fast as possible and with as much fanfare as possible instead of going the slow and cautious route. I may be wrong about that but it certainly seems strange to read about this wide and far in the mainstream press before the results have been thoroughly vetted.

It smacks of cold fusion all over again.

When I've posted this sort of thing before, I totally erase the text that's there, put different (wrong) text there and then do a terrible job of blurring it.

Just to annoy people like yourself!

Probably a bit mean, but I like to make these things a bit more interesting.

Anyway my point is that could easily be what's happened here, you don't know it's really a bad job.

If you want to be more successful, or want women to be more successful, then focusing on he/she pronouns is a very bad use of your time.

I respectfully disagree. I think that language matters, and I am concerned about the influence of language on my four daughters (aged 3 to 13). I'm not saying that this is the most important issue, of course-- but I also don't think that sexist language should get a free pass in the name of some higher efficiency.

Learning more personal finance, investing, and negotiation will massively help anyone's career success, including women. Having everyone switch to singular they will not make so big of a difference.

It's not just about career success.

Comparing the historical use of "he" in English for a singular pronoun to racism smacks of really missing the point though - the point is, pronoun usage is going to have a trivial impact, if any, on people's successes.

Again, I beg to differ. Attitudes like racism and sexism are maintained though a variety of means, including casual acts that have largely symbolic value. If you reject the parallel to race, how about we draw an alternative parallel to sexual orientation? I know that in my lifetime, there have been major shifts in both the discourse around homosexuality and the rights gay people have won. I firmly believe the two are related, and that using "gay" as a perjorative has a (subtle, but real) damaging effect on society. Similarly, pretending that "he" is gender neutral supports unconscious assumptions that do women no favors.

The historical use of "he" to refer to both genders should, in my opinion, be relegated to history.
As others have commented here, I find it very telling that maximum publicity was sought when the article was first published, but the lead author seems to dislike the scrutiny brought about by these claims. Due diligence was not done and this paper is not up to Science's usual standards. The shame of it is that this will wind up being another black eye for NASA.

Be pragmatic! Now you're saying you have skills with the Web and iOS, but you're website says otherwise.

* If you're advertising skills in web dev, using invalid HTML appears sloppy and unprofessional.

* If you're also advertising skills with iOS, do visit your website from iOS, like an iPad. Then realize there are no mouseover events.

* Don't use absolute sizes, like pixels. It looks horrible in everything other than your favorite resolution. Or, you could say to which resolution should the visitor switch to, so he'll know to leave the site.

A reasonable fallback would be to look at the proportion of commits that touch files under each directory - the more active a directory is, the more likely it is to be of interest. Still probably not worth it in the majority of cases though.
Information Wants To Be Everywhere
If Google really wants to succeed at organizing that segment of the world's information, it should write a facebook app that ties in to your (and your friends') account info.

If you could sync your information on FB and other social networking sites to Google so that it knows the relationship outright, I think they could give you much more useful information.
It's still true -- I recommend looking at some comparisons. Worker-thread based http servers consistently have worse performance at handling a large number of connections, and the error rate for those (simply) using threads is also higher at large number of connections,

For example, see this benchmark of Python web servers: http://nichol.as/benchmark-of-python-web-servers
So is every Space Shuttle astronaut selfish too? The Shuttle also has a 2% mortality rate.
If you're in an environment where you actually must use a proxy for some reason, you're in an environment that is probably going to ban arbitrary socket connections anyhow.

Not necessarily. For example, an SSL-encrypted connection would need the proxy to get out of the way. The defacto standard for this is HTTP CONNECT [1]. I understand there's a proposal to switch WebSockets to an HTTP CONNECT-based handshake.

I think Google's doing themselves a disservice by trying to make the Chrome Web Store sound too much like the App Store. It sets up the wrong expectation.

There's already a user backlash visible in reviews. A lot of people are disappointed that a Gmail app is just a link to the Gmail website, for example.

Here's a quick vocabulary of Google's terms and what they actually mean:

app – website

store – directory

install an app – add a bookmark

paid app – paywall managed by Google

in-app purchase – paywall managed by third party

My observation is that enterprise software usually sucks, though not for a lack of features. Usually it has to do with extraordinarily poor useability and massive amounts of clutter, due to featuritis (needing to meet the demands of all those Massive Companies).

Why are nature and human imagination different things? We are elements of nature as much as everything else. The discovery lottery is not much different than everywhere else. You work very hard on an important problem and if you're extraordinarily lucky then you become famous/get rich/get discovered/land an acquisition.

I think a core similarity with those all is that it's healthier and more fulfilling if you're sustained by the process, not just the wildly rare best-chance ending.

Anyway, why are we being brainwashed to like science? Probably because we, as a society, respect and value the effects that you can trace right back to science. Same with art and creativity, really. If you want to have this argument you've got to get a lot more subtle and talk about real comparisons between the two professions.
As a post hoc, don't feel too bad about it, it looks like this was not taken as a serious responsibility by state department staff, for example they list an antivenom manufacturer in Australia amongst the CI/KR list, yet this manufacturer has not made that antivenom in over ten years.

correct me if i'm wrong, but this is something to use in conjunction with existing cloud applications right? thanks techcrunch for another non-informative article.

i imagine this wouldn't be something someone would consider to replace their in-datacenter database solution, going over the WAN to access database data would be awful.

i see this more as a service you would consider rolling up if you were already using vmforce to add automatic database capabilities that could scale according to demand.

anyone else have thoughts on this?

i wonder if they provide any partitioning automatically built in, that would be cool.

I did something similar a while back. I used canvas and coastline coordinates (http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg_coastline/index.jsp?llat=-90.0&...) to draw the globe.
However I could never quite figure out how to draw the world perfectly.
I used canvas.fill and I would always end up with some parts of the world showing, that actually should have been hidden. I can post the source code if you like - all it needs to be done is probably a viewport.

I'm not sure this is such a strong attack on the scientific method. First, there's much more to economics than predicting the stock market - a proper understanding of demand curves is useful even if everyone else has it as well. In fact, I'm not sure that predicting the stock market has more to do with mathematics than with mass psychology.

That said, I do agree that properties of the stock market, once widely known, tend to be arbitraged away. From the article:

> There was a time when the Dow systematically tended to drop on Friday and rise on Monday, and once this was noticed and published, the effect went away.

However, that doesn't mean that the scientific method cannot produce true conclusions - it's just that those don't tend to stay true.

lesswrong has much more impressive criticisms of the scientific method, IMHO. (The main one being that, while the scientific method will hopefully prevent you from endlessly clinging to a wrong hypothesis, it won't tell you how to find good hypotheses.)

While I understand that ChromaOm can be profitable and even make its founders a tidy sum, I wonder why YC invested. In what way does this company have the potential to become huge? Colour schemes are always going to be a very narrow niche, and I can't quite see how this would turn into even a $10m company, let alone a $100m one...

Then again if YC invested, pg and the rest of the panel must see something I'm not seeing...
+1 on the IDE stuff of your comment.

But Objective-C is a really nice OO language. It seems you do not get its dynamic nature. Yes, its different, but by no means inferior. And yes, tooling is much better for static languages like Java.

I don't know anyone who would ever write a manuscript as collection of text files. This is non sense.

For a book you may use one file per chapter,
for an article a unique file - always in a formatting word processor. Sure, it would be nice to have a version control system working transparently withing the word processor, namely recognizing changes paragraph by paragraph.
Ask HN: Looking for a Financial Projection doc Template
Howdy,

Our startup is in the process of raising money. We've put together the financials to present to investors, but since none of us are truly experienced with these types of docs, I suspect it may not be adequate.

Anyone have a financial projections document template (preferably Excel) that they have presented to investors and are willing to share (no need for the actual data). The issue with all the templates I've found online is that I have no idea if they're adequate: have they passed the test of being presented to actual investors and their CPAs.

Many thanks!

Devops: The Re-emergance of Systems Engineering as a Discipline
For performance benchmarking, httperf is at the top of their list. I wouldn't recommend it but only b/c the configuration parameters are very confusing for anything but the most simple tests. For quick gut-checks, I prefer siege (Apache Bench is viable too but it's quirky). For sophisticated or heavy duty tests, I preferred using Grinder or Tsung (JMeter is a time sink). They also recommend Pylot which I haven't used but Corey Goldberg is active on Twitter and other places.

For monitoring they recommend mon.itor.us. They're pretty good but they don't have a free plan. http://browsermob.com/ is pretty cool b/c they use real browsers and they can run your selenium tests.

Some free options for monitoring a single site: http://wasitup.com, http://pingdom.com and http://blamestella.com (that last one is my product and all the plans are currently free).

Pure speculation. The anonymous source may be real, but we have no means of validating it. So, this article may as well be disregarded.

In reality however you will usually wrest 50ms from DB and can shave off seconds in front-end. It's usually not about Javascript loops optimization, it's about optimization of resource loading and minimizing the effect of network latency.
Even you if shaved 500ms of DB request, hardly anyone will notice if page waits 15seconds before it has everything fetched to be able to render.

Tiger Stone brick printer lays roads like carpet - Core77
Sure, but nobody know that, nobody is actually in it and it has a weird name.

It also fails to present an immediate usefulness that would lure people.

On the other hand, most people already have a regular Google account, so if they manage to push some social integration in there which a less crappy name (ok, that's a personal opinion, but I think loop sounds much smoother), then they might get a chance to get a foothold in the segment.

Something like a cross service interface with other social networks would be of course the real launcher, but that will be a long and bloody way, as we saw in recent history.
How much should you charge to wash all the windows in Seattle? - Interview Q
On a slight tangent, I really love Google simply because they are a search engine. I mean how easy is it for us to start using Bing? We could do it instantaneously. Google could easily start hemorrhaging users, and every day their engineers fight their best to prevent that from happening. I just love how these smart-ass people obviously enjoy trying to tackle tough problems while creating a business that depends on happy customers (at least that's my idolized opinion of them).

Although Google wants to create a social graph of it's own, I hope they don't let it go to their heads. That is false land that they are seeking to claim.
Hmm. Facebook iterating into full on search (and not just product recommendations from friends, which might be possible) is a vastly more difficult task than Google finding a way to enter the social market (where they have a small foothold anyway).

I highly doubt this will be a generic button to share to your other social networks; that would be a poor product choice from their perspective.
There is also an expose option to show all windows for an application. Set it to a keyboard hot key.
I know, I was one of those people - I just wasn't sure if Apache can do that well, I know of other servers that can. And yes, you are correct, that's what I get for posting when tired - I meant simultaneous requests!
Just as an FYI, one of the properties of Factor and stack-based languages is that they are extremely simple -- almost trivial -- to implement an interpreter for. The main benefit of this interpreter would probably be to simply describe the syntax and evaluation structure of a stack-based language to one unfamiliar with the concept and not, instead, as a technical case study.
There's a lot of anti-immigration sentiment. The logic (or anti-logic if you will) plays out something like this:

* I don't like immigrants because they take jobs from hard-working Americans. [ Note that this doesn't differentiate between 'off-shoring' and 'immigration' ]

* Foreigners in our schools are taking away spots that could be filled by Americans.

* If we allow foreigners to study here, and then make it easy for them to stay, then it's a double-whammy. They are "taking education away from Americans," and then staying here to "take jobs away from Americans" too.

There is also a smattering of, "oh noes, the person from country X will only be loyal to country X and will therefore be a spy in our midst!"

Note: I don't hold the above beliefs.
