If you link to jQuery on Google's CDN, changes are pretty high that it's already cached by the browser.
Hi all, I acully am one of the first who ordered a pandora and I waited for 2,5 years. Last week I got mine. I think its fantastic that they pulled threw. You would belive what problems hit them. It was a wild trip.

I really like my pandora its a full linux computer for you pocket. I play N64 most of the time, reliving my early gaming days.

Here you can find games and stuff:
http://www.openpandora.org/index.php?option=com_content&...

The OS is not perfekt but it gets worked on quite a bit.

I would recomand the pandora for everyone that wants linux in his pocket or if you want to play games with really good controles (the nubs are just fantastic)

That my little report.
Oi tsenart, tell us about this!
Yes. The minified version is much smaller and after gzipping it's around 20kb or so. When using a CDN there is a chance that it's cached. I'm just stating the obvious here. Either way, the 7000 lines of JS that comprise jQuery are a lot and this seems like an alternative if you just need that single piece of functionality. Linking to Google's CDN is not without its own pitfalls though. I believe there have been discussions on HN in the past about this.
I would also suggest that "liking" isn't a feature necessary to call something a social network. ie Myspace, Twitter (favourites perhaps?), Linkedin etc
I think you'll find this article very relevant.

All the best.
Strictly speaking all this needs is a working QtGui component in the Qt library.

There are a couple of ways to compile Qt to operate against an in-memory framebuffer rather than a "real" windowing environment, although neither is a well supported part of modern Qt:

It's not that I didn't execute. I didn't know anyone who actually cared. I even made a professional business plan about the 4 billion dollar tutoring market and what I was planning to do.

The one rich guy I talked to did not know much about computers and just said "students have no money, I won't invest" -- this is a guy who wanted a friend of mine to build a botnet for him so he can generate traffic to his lead generation business :P

I tried to explain that when it comes to education, students spend quite a lot, especially when they are in need... but it didn't fly.

The bottom line is, you gotta execute AND have existing relationships with people! Both are important factors in a startup's success.
I was particularly unconvinced by this part:

As recently as the 1860s, it was considered impolite to laugh in public in the United States... By the 1870s … to say that someone lacked a sense of humor was seen as one of the worst things that could be said about him or her.
GreaseMonkey has to contend with these same issues. It has a security model, which will be broken if developers ignore the list of things you can't do.

I've seen exactly the opposite. Remember that everything that has destination URLs in AdWords is immutable -- when you edit a keyword's destination URL, or a text ad, you'll see in the URL and in the API that the primary key of the entity is different -- and with every new entity, the google adbot kicks into gear (without any bandwidth throttling decency, btw, so watch out for that, too...)
I would include that within Southwest US.
It looks like it's just a more convenient way of calling "querySelectorAll" on elements (you can call it on arrays of elements, or with arrays of selectors, for example).

I'm not sure why you'd use it over Sizzle, unless you wanted to do something very small and specific.
Yeah, for some people, but that isn't going to work for code :)
> but couldn't get the Python extension to work.

Sorry, I should be clearer about the current state of the code, which for the Python extension is: currently completely broken. Since I was focusing on the core interfaces, the more peripheral pieces (like the language extensions) are totally broken at the moment.

> Certain abstractions really lost me, like pushing and pulling between sources and sinks.

Hopefully more documentation will make this clear. Making sources and sinks a general abstraction makes the event-based interface independent of any specific serialization (like protobuf binary format, protobuf text format, a JSON serialization of the same schema, etc). The key thing about protobufs is that a .proto file defines a typed tree structure, and the core interfaces of upb let you iterate over that tree structure, regardless of how exactly that tree structure was serialized.

> Why not just let a top-level event loop run the show in terms of buffered reads and size calculation for writes?

In my most recent interface, the upb_src does indeed run an event loop, and calls callbacks for every input value, or on a submessage start, or on a submessage end. For a while I wanted to make upb_src a pull-based interface instead, to give the application more control over the main loop, but this created more problems than it solved.
Really? I see the majority of people here are in the 100-250 range, but here in Italy I know nobody in that range for tech jobs, and I expect it's the same in western Europe.

Edit: I see that the ranges proposed are slightly different, but it's still true that the majority of employees here earn less than 50k
Deal. You make the poll, I tell you where i work.
I keep reading "crawl Facebook". How viable is that kind of thing? I could think of various ways to use the data (like I proposed a friend I could create a service that would help him identify the woman he did not approach - as a bonus, that project might boost privacy awareness). But I assumed that crawling Facebook would not be appreciated by Facebook, and also easily prevented by Facebook. Since there are 500 million profiles to crawl, a lot of different IP addresses for the crawler would be required.

Also, how legal is it to actually use data from such scrapes?
Without a very good connection to google customer service that doesn't stand much chance though, so where are they going to get their access?

>So, even if we limit our view to the US then it's not all roses, and the female-male wage gap is still very much present.
some links to underscore these points:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Male%E2%80%93female_income_disp...

The wage gap you speak of has a long history of misrepresentation for political reasons. Yes, it's true that the average female full-time workers earn about 1/4 less than men, but as the wikipedia page you linked to points out, "The statistic does not take into account differences in experience, skill, occupation, education or hours worked as long as it qualifies as Full-time work."

Furthermore in more and more urban areas young, single women earn more than young single men. The original post was talking about being a 25 year-old woman in NYC, a where women in their 20's earn 117% of what men in their cohort do. This same trend is true in Chicago, Boston, Minneapolis, Dallas and other large cities:

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/03/nyregion/03women.html?ex=1...

It's the standard PC line that differences in male/female outcomes are due to discrimination in cases where women are coming out behind (e.g. hard sciences, engineering, entrepreneurship), and the outcomes are not to be worried about when it's the opposite (e.g. homelessness, workplace death, life expectancy, child custody). It saddens me to see that kind of knee-jerk political reaction here, though.

Yes, I noticed that in the time I was in England. Everyone was asking 'how are you', even the clerks at the supermarket. This bothered me at first because I wasn't used to it, and it is kind of nonsense to ask that to a random person, especially if you're in a hurry to help the next client.

Then again, it's a pre-programmed courtesy expecting a pre-canned reponse. Once you get used to it it bothers less...

Woah, this was a curious article, but it unexpectedly turned gloomy with this final, sudden excerpt: "A large-scale study … found optimism and sense of humor in childhood to be inversely related to longevity."
As comments on the article have noted, this headline is inaccurate. The Verizon program actually allows (only existing, not new) Verizon customers to return an old phone (feature or smartphone) for a mailed debit card, and only once they've purchased a Verizon iPhone 4.

This move seems to be much less a move against AT&T (if at all) and much more a huge swipe at Android. Basically, if you're a Verizon customer and you've purchased an Android phone in the past year, you can trade it in for a new iPhone, for free. It would be interesting to know if this was part of the Verizon iPhone deal.
Far less. Most I ever spent was around 3k/mo and I had an account exec I could call up on the phone. They were extremely knowledgeable about ad approval, rules, etc

They actually also got my account reinstated when google accidentally blocked my whole Google acct.

Also never seen an ad under review for more than a couple of hours.

Russia maybe? Of course, if you're in Moscow or St Pete's then you're 'other Europe' otherwise you're just 'Asia'.
Good chunks of Scandinavia would consider themselves solidly part of 'Western Europe' and with 'Mid-Atlantic US' qualifying for a category it's surprising that the United Kingdom wouldn't rate a mention, I'd wager there are far more people from there active on HN than you might suspect.

This all sounds nice and it probebly an improvment over C#, VB and Java but there are lots of langauges that have that.

This language looks nice and all but dosn't offer anything new and i can't see any concurrency primitves or somthing like that and today you should have that.

I'm not bashing the language it look really cool but I just don't think it has a chance of seeing wide adoption. You need some big selling point today.

I don't really know for sure, but I'd guess that in the UK salaries are a fair bit lower than rdl suggested.

And actually the categories aren't looking so bad now - the 100-250 has twice as many people as 75-100, I'd bet 100-150 has a lot of people, but none of the categories stand out as being empty (except maybe the >250k one).
Assuming your site is small enough that they don't optimize to beat you specifically, the best way to defeat any kind of automatic spamming is to make your site unique in some trivial way.

Even if it would take them almost no effort for them to change their tools to spam you, they won't bother if you're too small for them to notice.

Endemol CEO - "Social TV is Going to Be Huge"
This is not accurate. Any time you have multiple people sharing a physical link you end up with a marginal cost for bandwidth in any sensible economic arrangement. If you insist on having every part of your connection dedicated to yourself, you're effectively back to a circuit-switched network with the corresponding orders-of-magnitude price hike in providing it.

For example, in the UK the last mile is usually supplied by the incumbent (BT), who also (virtually) route that traffic over a private IP-based backbone to ISPs to provide the backhaul. They charge ISPs by capacity. So these ISPs effectively have marginal costs that vary throughout the day according to demand, since they have to pay directly for an appropriate (fixed) amount of capacity to be available.

We also have LLU (local loop unbundled) ISPs who still use BT's last mile but provide their own equipment directly at the exchanges, thus effectively providing backhaul straight from the exchanges. They may only have a fixed cost for bandwidth depending on how they provision those links. But if they are buying capacity from anyone else, they will be charged by how much they are buying, and suddenly they have a marginal cost again.

The article says that Netflix are complaining about the situation where Netflix have brought the traffic to the last mile. In this specific situation it makes sense. But in the general case, ISPs still have marginal costs in providing bandwidth.

Some feedback. I teach mathematics at a community college. Using a Tablet PC and services like Adobe Connect I could tutor anyone in the world who speaks English well enough. Your service appears to be location based. With the rise of online education it seems to me that limiting yourself to location based tutoring is too limiting. Online tutoring can be done well (it can also be done poorly).

Is it Southern Europe? It's right next to Italy, but doesn't extend so far south, and is barely a Mediterranean country. In any case, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece are what I'd call 'Southern Europe' more than west or east, although I'd say west if I had to pick one.
That article is comparing apples to oranges. I perfectly agree that SMS prices are a ripoff, but to evaluate this the author should be looking at what it costs AT&T to send a text message - not at what Comcast charges you for wired broadband! After all, I bet that SMS is a wonderful deal compared to what it costs NASA to send .13 Kb to the ISS ...

Good luck. Why programming? Why not learn bookkeeping in three months? Or get a real estate license? Plumbers make good money. I can snake my own drain and hook up a sprinkler -- why not do it for other people and charge them?

Three months to learn to do a dynamic, secure, database-backed website is unheard of. I have 30+ years experience programming, 10+ on the web, and I specialize in fixing/replacing sites put together by developers who got in over their head and didn't know what they were doing. I have worked on hundreds of web sites and I've never seen a customer happy with their $25/hr site their nephew or power-user business partner or overseas oDesk consultant cobbled together.

By all means learn web development -- it's a good job with lots of work. But don't expect to be making $30/hr in three months. No client is going to hire you without a portfolio and a track record. When I was eager to learn programming I got a job at a place where I could learn from professional programmers. I'd advise you to look for a tech support job somewhere you can conceivably move into programming and web development with someone mentoring you.

i'd totally buy a bulky phone case with decent controls for gaming.

it would be as bulky as carying a GBA, but not as expensive as having another device.
Just some personal observations which are anectdotal, but neverthelss give a hint:

More than 2/3rd of the software companies our (web-related) company is collaborating with provide services which are not web related, they might use port 80/443 for webservices but not more.

Casual observation of people around me reveals that almost no-one uses web based software at work. Instead all these companies they work for have invested their budgets into small, medium or large desktop or mainframe packages.

At least 20 of the devices lying around the table I'm sitting at now are stuffed with embedded software. Somebody built these, someone else put a price tag on them.

While it might be equally difficult to develop your customers when selling noWeb (hey!... quick, register domain...) software, the contact with the customers is closer leading to high retention. Moreover it's easier to server them well because you have more methods than just A/B testing to reveal the impact of changes. On previous jobs writing desktop/server-client software I never had the idea that web-based software would fit the customer better.

At the same time I use a lot of web-based stuff without a monetizing strategy, meaning, they charge me nothing.

Also, I think these PlayStation Suite games require proper buttons, either virtual on-screen or real. So, these games could also be played on PS3 as well. Sony looked at what MS did with Wp7+Xbox and took it one step further.

So, I hope, games developed for PS suite could run on PS3+PSP2+PSPhones!
