Some people say: "but the computers become faster every year," to which I respond: "but the amount of data we throw at them grows every year at a similar rate."

There will never be a substitute for good algorithms. In my field (bioinformatics), thanks to next-gen sequencing technology, the data growth actually outpaces Moore's law. I imagine the same is true for data collected from social networks.
Thanks for the feature suggestion. I'll post it in GitHub and hopefully we can take a stab at it sometime here in the near future.

Boy, that brought back happy memories!

I was running the MIT-EECS department computing machinery back when Symbolics and LMI (Lisp Machines, Inc--Greenblatt's competitor) were just getting going, and we had around 8 or 10 of the original LispMs for undergrads to use, wire-wrapped and all. Even those, as slow as they were, were impressive machines for the time, given the 'turtles all the way' down architecture. (Everything written in Lisp, except the microcode.)

Back then, we were using MIT's CHAOSnet, a home-grown competitor to PARC's original 3Mb Ethernet. Unhappy memories of big fat yellow coax everywhere, easily dented. We used a TDR a lot to find kinks in the cable when the network wasn't working well.

The LispMs were years ahead of their time in terms of sheer architectural genius, but were also incredibly baroque--many brilliant hackers adding ornament upon ornament for years...
There's even mine written primarily in Scheme, apropos to these images: http://ourdoings.com/

It's somewhat frustrating to me when they continuously say "something that's hard or impossible in other web frameworks is trivial in Lift".

As one of the co-founders and developers of the NOLOH PHP Framework (http://www.noloh.com), I know that we've had many of these features for quite some time, including Comet (we support all protocols including streaming, short-polling and long-polling) with little to no effort on the developer's part, and in many cases significantly less effort than described here in lift.

I have nothing against Lift, and clearly I'm bias, however, the tone should've been less hostile in my opinion. However, maybe the hostile tone is good marketing. It's hard to say.
It's been said often before, but namecheap.com seems worth a look. Their "WhoisGuard" (or whatever it's called) is "free" the first year (I'm not sure about transfers) and about $3 per year after that. And their domain name pricing for the "usual" TDL's is about $10. There's always some coupon that will save you a fraction of a buck, sometimes more, if you google "namecheap coupon".

Now that namecheap has implemented persistent HTTPS throughout a logged on session, I don't feel uncomfortable mentioning them.

gandi.net and nearlyfreespeech.net are mentioned here frequently, as well (e.g. prior comments here -- vote them up, not me). I don't have personal experience with them.

I don't know how suitable these providers are for "commercial grade" registrations. In my "real" work, other people buy those thing. (I'd be interested in any informed perspectives on this.)
Definitely, I'd be happy to. Email fred at heyo.com, or reply @frederickcook.
I'd love to contribute (been looking for a Python project to contribute all this while) but I'm fairly new and haven't much a clue. I guess the best way to start is to get the project and play around with it but I was hoping if you have any advice?
As an front-end engineer, it pains me to see some pixel perfect thing of beauty that a graphic designer has whipped up in Macromedia, with the most $deity-awful pile of auto-generated crud backing it up, with no considerations for usability, or feasibility of making it work on multiple different browsers.

Even getting something close to looking the same across multiple browsers and resolutions is a herculean task.

So yeah, you pooped out something pretty. Well done and all that. Now the hard work begins, polishing that turd until it is dynamic (i.e. loads the appropriate data), usable and accessible.

Get yourself some potty training (e.g. roll the html by hand) and then we'll talk about respect.
I agree that the comment wasn't helpful but it is somewhat suspicious that an account was created just to refute this study.

I don't think the average joe would bother reviewing a site, pretty much killing the utility of something like this. On the other hand, what's preventing someone from gaming the system by using a service such as MTurk to get their competitors down-ranked into Oblivion?

I agree search needs some improvements, however, this isn't the way to go.

Also, the policy for commenting on that site seems awfully scary to me, it almost feels like it was designed to game google's search engines...

$99 for a box that can very effectively stream video from your NAS? Sounds like a winner to me.

I run Plex (a Mac-only XMPC derivative) on a Mac Mini, but $699 is a lot more than $99. If your storage is NAS already, about the only advantage the Mac Mini has over a jailbroken AppleTV2 is the ability to play Hulu through Safari and not get blocked.

"Believe" doesn't seem to be used in the sense of arbitrary belief here; it's used more in the sense in which something is expected to be the case with less than conclusive proof, such as how I believe that the weather is pretty much the same as last time I looked out the window.

With that in mind, I would actually expect the opposite trend: for belief to grow at a faster rate than proof. Historically, answers have normally led to more questions.
In fact, there is a fairly straightforward formula for determining how much you should put in. Unless you are 100% confident, it isn't 100%.

I'm sorry that it came across with that notion.

Bottom line is: I really want to focus on my projects that have high revenue viability. I'm not experienced with monetizing free products, but someone else is. Until then, having threewords.me on my back is extra baggage that I'd rather let someone take care of, so I can focus back on what's important for me: creating profitable startups.

I had the opportunity to take six-figure funding amounts from big firms and individuals, but I said no to that. I'm passionate about building better support systems for startups. I'm passionate about building an OpenTable competitor. I don't feel the same passion with threewords.me, and since I never take capital on something I don't really think my soul has a connection with (to go all zen on you), the other option was to sell it.

I really appreciate the kindness of the Hacker News folks for taking an interest in the threewords.me 'saga' (thank you!) but I'm admittedly a little embarrassed because the image that all this coverage is putting out for me isn't something that I actively pursue. I secretly hoped that the threewords.me sale wouldn't hit HN, and was satisfied (until now :P). It's just a side project that went big.

I once did several hours of work trying to optimize my use of Redis to avoid having to upgrade my VPS

I would think RAM preservation would be a much greater concern in the VPS world as the hard limits are ever present, and quickly become enormously expensive.

In the dedicated server world it isn't quite as prohibitive. An R810 can be had with 512GB. Just got several new servers to add to the mix, each with 144GB of memory.

Though of course I eminently disagree with Atwood's statement about algorithms. In fact I think he doesn't believe that either, but it was just a bit of color on the entry.
"Meditation, unlike commonly thought of, is not about "emptying your mind" or "getting in tune with the Universe". Meditation is all about letting a thought, concept or idea completely soak your brain."

I'd need to see sources to back this up. It's completely the opposite of everything I've read about meditation. You're neither supposed to hold on or actively attempt to push out any given thought while meditating.

For me I found that meditation helps concentration, sleeping and helps me to not cling to the various negative things my brain throws at me on a daily basis.

Almost everyone I've met from the Netherlands is fluent in English, and has a better grasp of English grammar than many Americans. I wonder why their result is so much better than the Japanese. There could be many reasons for this, including that English and Dutch are much closer than English and Japanese, that the Dutch have more contact with English-speaking people and media, or that the Dutch schools have a better way of teaching language than the Japanese schools. I've also found this to be the case with younger Germans.

If you go work with some real engineers (mechanical or electrical) you will be quickly disabused of that notion.

Engineering is a mindset. Engineering is a more mathematical approach to the coding (e.g. thinking in terms of theorems and proofs, and being aware of what your fundamental assumptions are (and being able to challenge them)). Engineering is someone else being able to pick up where you left off if you get hit by a bus. Engineering is kicking the tires before you give that live demo. Engineering is beating your own code to within an inch of its life. Engineering is about divide and conquer. Engineering is referring to problems with the code as defects and not bugs (calling it a bug is distancing yourself from it, as though it crawled in there by itself; calling it a defect is taking responsibility).

Engineering is best in life. Engineering is crushing your defects, seeing them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the testing team (because they're bored because everything works perfectly).

Engineering is listening to someone talk about the wonders of TDD, Unit Testing and Automated Testing and thinking to yourself, "that's a nice start but you've got a long way to go kiddo".

Everybody has different 'final goals', when you're in college and you hit a thing like this you can let it distract you and you might run after something that has limited life-span after all, and mess up your chances of completing your education.

> Diversification implies to minimize risk, and that is reasonable only if Eric Schmidt thinks that there is significant risk that Google will underperform market (or at least his expectation of return in a different investment).

It's also reasonable only if Eric Schmidt thinks there is even the slightest chance that Google's shares will go down at all.

This is almost a certainty. Almost all shares go down in price at some time.

It's not about the features - it's about the polish. Before iPhone came Nokia was the best (IMO) producer of the phones in the world. But today? They are far behind Apple and far behind any producer that uses Android. Their phones are buggy, their OS is a crap, software development for Symbian is a hell, and the market..

Well - I don't know about the market. Numbers show that Nokia has 57% in China, but what about sales? Apple brags that they've put something around $1.5bln in the hands of developers. What about Nokia?

My hunch is that in the Bay Area, most apartments are in fact on Craigslist. The exception that I'm aware of are apartments rented by primarily non-English speakers, such as places in SF Chinatown and other highly ethnic neighborhoods.

Can anyone who's moved from Vimperator to Pentadactyl comment on how hard it is to port your .vimperatorrc to a corresponding .pentadactylrc? I've got a bunch of bookmarklets set up in my .vimperatorrc with custom shortcuts (Readability, QR code generator, add to InstaPaper, etc.), plus a lot of custom shortcuts.

One of the big things I like about Vimium is that it allows for lettered hinting, which I prefer to numbered hinting (which is the only option in Vimperator). Also, very annoyingly, you can't use "[" or "]" as shortcuts in Vimperator - I'd like to use them to switch tabs to the left & right, but I'm stuck using "{" and "}" instead. This is just a bug, but the low activity level in Vimperator means there's no one around to fix it.
You have to know what you don't know. In other words, you need a sense of the gaps that exist in your knowledge and then fill those gaps. This is a side effect of...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect

... and a key part of continuing education in any field. The best way for students of any age to grasp this is to take practice tests. Look at what you missed, and go fill in that gap. A similar method it to look at a completed project or paper and wait for the aha moment, "I didn't know you could do that." Then you go find the answers.

Not out-of-the-box. XBMC on the AppleTV(2) does, though.
Asking people questions that they could look up the answer to online in a couple of seconds is pointless unless you expect them to be doing critical patches to web code when the internet is down or unavailable.

Fundamentally the interviewing process is not a solved problem. So we have flaws in the system. I agree that playing trivial pursuits is annoying, but what else will they do?
OTOH, sometimes it may be better to offload something that isn't going anywhere to let someone better suited handle it.

For instance, I keep sitting on http://langpop.com because I've grown fond of it, but I think it'd be worth more in someone else's hands. Maybe it would have taken up less of my time if I'd sold it off immediately after it got popular.
