There is a slight difference between shipping something broken and shipping something that gets updated, frequently. One thing I learned from Apple is that it's more important that you ship something that works comepletely rather than feature complete (see copy and paste).

I like buying apps that I know are constantly in development because I know the developer is still interested and still adding features. Also, the apps that get updated tend to have more exposure and show up in lists more readily.

CC is a good book that's not steeped in programming terminology and is easy for even laypeople to understand. However it would've been nice for Steve to incorporate some code snippets from a functional language, just to compare and contrast how things are handled differently between paradigms.

If the movie featured any sort of CGI, they most likely used Linux at least for the rendering. Windows licences for your entire render farm are expensive.

Autodesk's Maya (A 3D animation modeling and rendering package) is fairly dominant in the movie industry, actually won a full Oscar in 2002, and is entirely tri-platform.
I stopped wearing a wristwatch since it is enormously uncomfortable typing on a laptop with one. I still keep one in my coat pocket, but I rarely use it anymore.

As a non-Chrome user I'm not your target audience anyway - but if you were doing it for Firefox (or if I were a Chrome user), it would take a lot of very positive endorsements to get me interested enough to really try it out. Until then I'll settle with the fact that browser history will very rarely be the best way to find something I've seen before - most of the time I will have bookmarked what I later want to re-read, so it's not a huge issue anyway.

You did start the comment with "My reaction is: so?", a statement seemingly directed at the actual content of the article, not the (largely irrelevant in the context of the article) content of the button.

People got confused by your somewhat unclear (at least to some people), off-topic comment, and you started ranting about people not using their brains, lacking reading comprehension, being lazy and small-minded.

Wouldn't it suffice to point out that you were commenting on the content of the button, without attacking the people confused by the comment?

This does not surprise me. I regularly use 200-500mg caffeine in a day, and I did more while I was in college. (some) prescription stimulants and (some) stimulants that are victims of prohibition would do the same job better and with less severe physical side effects, but I can't be bothered getting them. It's not that I respect the law; it's just more convenient to use the inferior-but-legal option.

I bought some of these books because you hear the same titles over and over again, so I had to see what the fuss was about. Code Complete was one of them.

In no way did I find it enlightening. I found it to be straightforward, dense, and boring.

I'd be interested to see a list that separates responses from the "Windows people" and the "Unix people." Hopefully that doesn't sound elitist, I just feel like they are completely different worlds sometimes. Most of the Joel/Atwood/SO fans seem to fit this archetype, and CC is their favorite book.

Completely agree. "Weekend" projects don't come up when you wake up on Saturday morning and are ready for sale on Monday.

My comment was caused as I observe an increasing number of these "weekend" or "side-project" messages at HN.
For me it looks like the authors are too cautious to stand for their project as something that took all their attention and that still may have mistakes.

What follows is an inflationary trend that most "Show HN" posts are declared as minute-jobs and we lose the open culture of a showroom, where the other mates take your work serious and try to positively criticise it.
Not long, and we have sidecars only.

I think it is not important how long one needs for a project shown here. The message transported with the timeline is else "look I'm a genious" or "sorry, all the remaining bugs are from a lack of time".

I have to remark, that I don't think of any particular posts in the last time and I know that I may include projects in my generalization that don't deserve it.
This hasn't been my intention.
And my original confession to be a bad hacker is still valid!
That's the broken window fallacy at work. Why should CSS be hard? Why should it take years to learn the CSS-specific skills which, as far as I can see, mostly involve memorising hacks to work around browser bugs and a fundamentally insufficient layout model? All that energy you and I have expended learning this crap is effort we couldn't put towards something actually useful.
Just to be a contrary example, both my wife and I shave less now that we're married (ie, never). Our skin is much happier, shorter showers, far fewer razors going dull, and no more cactus in bed.

She's also discovering she prefers it in other women - as a massage therapist, regardless of how recently they've shaved she'll encounter it all, and it's pretty amazingly irritating stuff.

Absolutely, and it also says that the company said "yep, come and talk to us about it".

So in essence: man asks for credit, company says happy to discuss it, more news as we have it.

It's a bit of a non-story really...
This is most emphatically not hacker news.
I'm seeing a lot of negativity around this launch from people asking the question "how is this different from x, y and z".

My personal opinion is that you don't need to be that different in terms of functionality if you can make a difference in execution, which I think they're doing in terms of user interface and hopefully with marketing in general.

More broadly speaking I'm interested in how they plan to go to market beyond the "echo chamber". Some of that they're probably keeping under their hats but I'm keen to find out.
Ah-ha! Looking at the front page of their (apparently new) wiki, I found a link to the old wiki:

http://oldwiki.joyent.com/

And that wiki has up-to-date information on migrating from TextDrive to what are apparently now called “Shared SmartMachines” (formerly Shared Accelerators). And that page finally does resolve the question of whether we need to contact them or wait to be contacted: We do need to ask for a golden ticket, not just wait for it.

That's pretty well buried. Joyent really should send out a mass email to all TextDrive users asking us to upgrade, telling us exactly what effect it would have on our billing, and telling us exactly what we need to do.

It's still unclear whether, in the special case of Howe, we still need to ask for golden tickets, or all Howe users are being migrated to Shared SmartMachines without having to ask. The support post:

http://help.joyent.com/index.php?pg=forums.posts&id=949

implies that they are rebuilding Howe, which implies that we will not simply be migrated to a Shared SmartMachine as a result of the failure (we still would need to ask), but they have not directly said.

The one remaining worry I have is that there's nothing on the main Joyent site about Shared SmartMachines. It seems like they're inviting users of one deprecated service to migrate to another deprecated service.

You could conserve momentum by having the photons continue after interacting, but at a higher energy level (i.e. heavier). But I can't figure out how to do that and also conserve energy.

One possibility is that you end with the object at a standstill, so while you need to move it, you don't actually need any extra momentum or energy to do so. If there was some way to borrow it maybe? Sideways motion perhaps?
If I had known..........
I agree that we want to avoid false positives as much as possible, even to the point where we miss true positives.

But the law we're talking about is for after police have already stopped a suspect for a different reason, a reason that is not allowed to have anything to do with skin color.

I think it could still be an issue, however, because officers have been known to stop people for silly reasons, such as "rolling through a stop sign," when they really want to stop them because their skin color looks suspicious. I think this is a problem, it's really hard to fight against. So this is an argument against that law.
my uninformed opinion; I wouldn't be surprised if a decent number of celebrities aren't the most hard-working and party a decent amount. 2 things first I'm sure that behind the Aces and hard working underachievers there are those who are famous and don't mind coasting and trusting to luck for long stretches rather then looking for opportunities at every corner. Second having a family and being serious about being part of it probably limits your time significantly but there are those who don't have families or don't invest a decent amount of time in their families.

Pretty much the same benefits when you're a guy working in a company filled with women. I just take the extra drama with the infinite supply of brownies every day.
I don't mean to sound like I'm chaining myself to the oars, and it's all a matter of degree. Talking design or shooting the breeze with the other guys is great and all, but sometimes I already know what I need to build if only everyone would just let me keep it in my head long enough to get anywhere on it. I find Joel's "15 minutes" optimistic. When a dozen people need immediate answers about stuff I haven't thought about since last year, and I try and fail a dozen times to actually write some code only to go home exhausted without a single commit to my name, it's utterly demoralizing. I go out of my way to respect others' time in the zone as an overreaction to how rarely mine is.
True, but when used at the same time they are a nightmare. Methylphenidate has a pretty severe crash (at higher dosages) and caffeine makes it much much worse.
even more graceful would be keeping track of bounces for 24 hours so you could at least tell someone what they missed if there's a cliche like this.

The difference is that most languages don't reduce so many vowels to schwas. If you just pronounce the vowels, you'll do much better with non-English words. And assume i = ee, a = ah, etc.
When people ask me how it is to work in a male-dominated workplace, I always point out "no drama". I've gotten away with it so far.

To contrast, my wife works in a female-dominated kindergarden. There's so much "did you see the way X Looked at me", "Y ran crying from the meeting", "Z said Good Morning to W, but did you hear the tone of her voice?" going on it's making my head spin.

I also used to work in a logistic firm that was staffed pretty 50/50. Some days, there was enough drama to put a soap opera writer to shame. Though I suspect constant layoffs and competitive promotion jostling did its bit to fuel that.

I'm sorry if this makes me come out as sexist, but to the best of my empirical knowledge, women are more drama-prone than men.

Ignoring for a moment the large number of distinct issues raised in the article I want to focus on just how ridiculous to consider the use of such drugs as cheating.

Before I present my argument - ask first why you might think it cheating? It only makes sense to think of it as cheating if you think that education is a competitive activity, and that in competitive activity you should only be able to avail yourself of your god given abilities.

My argument then relies on the belief that seeing education as a competitive activity is heinous in the extreme. Yes - it IS treated as a competitive activity. Your grades reflect your standing relative to other students in your class as enforced by bell curves which academics are made to apply after the fact. It is ridiculous. What makes me really angry is the way universities then force course co-ordinators to give a clear statement of learning outcomes in course descriptions - as if they fucking matter. For if the point of education was to achieve a learning outcome - then YOU WOULD BE GRADED ACCORDING TO WHETHER OR NOT YOU MET THAT LEARNING OUTCOME - not according to your relative standing.

Education should be about learning outcomes. I want to know - who has this skill... etc... not, who was the best in year X. Because even if I only ever accept the best - it's still a crap shoot as to what I really get.

And now they want to restrict people's access to drugs that could help them meet learning outcomes? Because they are so enamoured of their perverted education paradigm that they can't see the forest for the trees. I work in a university and I honestly wonder if the people above me who make these decisions can count to three. No doubt on reading this the first question they'll ask is how they'll determine who should get the scholarships if they can't rank competitively.

To which I answer - rank competitively all you want. Just don't confuse this process with grading.

This brings us to the second aspect of cheating - that you can only use your god given abilities in a competitive environment. If we assume that grading has now been separated from the ranking process - for the purposes of finding the best students - one still has to ask if it's fair to use drugs to get an edge. The answer (and as far as I'm concerned this answer goes equally for sports and everything else) is an easy yes but only if the following conditions hold.

1) Access is universal
2) cost is negligble
3) health risks are negligble

You don't, for instance, want to award your scholarships to folks that end up dying of heart attacks at 30. But dexamphetamines and the like have been around for over 100 years. These are well understood drugs. The only problem is 1) - but as the author seems to demonstrate - this isn't actually a problem since it's apparently so easy to get them.
Yeah, the patent itself is quid pro quo, not just a windfall for the patentee. That's why it (theoretically) has to describe the best mode for practicing the invention, in enough detail that anyone skilled in the art can understand and use it. It's also why prior art only counts if it was published somewhere.
If the incumbents close the opportunity by offering better service -- than the original parents problem no longer exists.

Businesses compete with potential competitors and potential technologies too. The higher the price, the more incentive for your users to look at alternative solutions (which includes starting a competing service). Greater demand for alternatives will be answered.
This is more or less about developer's ethic. Users may not be aware of this issue but we developers do. To quote geohot on Sony lawsuit: "But talented developers are in much shorter supply, and take it from one personally, who you choose to code for is much more of a moral choice.".

Well, clarifying what you mean to people that don't know you is not really mincing words: a lot of implicit things can remain unsaid with people that do know you, but that doesn't mean it should be possible to leave them unsaid at all.

I don't think she's trying to accomplish anything; she's just being blatantly honest and care-free, without taking into consideration how Joe Random may (reasonably) interpret what she's saying.
Can you talk at all about your infrastructure then? Is it powered by asterisks, FREEswitch, something else, ?
> Sideways motion perhaps?

Now that I have some time to read the paper, on the second page there's this sentence: "The Fourier decomposition of a PIB consists of plane wave components whose k-vectors form a cone that make an angle Theta_0 with the z-axis." The way it must get momentum is having the outgoing light be more collimated than the incoming light.

My new question is, How is this different from an Optical Trap? I'm imagining the point of the cone at the particle, but that may not actually be the case, and my skimming of the article is not enough to make sense of figure 3.
The other interesting stat (somebody pointed it out in the comments too) is that the number of commits per day seem to slope downwards through the week although the number of pushes stays pretty much constant from Monday-Friday.

PHP Web Development Services – Why Should be Hired
From inception PHP has helped transform how web development is done and also the way dynamic sites are developed. There are many things involved with development such as flexibility, scalability, user friendliness and usability. PHP which is an open source language has helped web developers accomplish many of these steps effectively as well as easily. We will now look at factors which make PHP most adaptable language for web development.
Not really. Visual effects are a bigger 'star' than any individual actor nowadays.

Also, 'equally awesome' needs to be qualified. Most of the engineers working in film could get paid far more working in other industries but do it because it can be fantastically rewarding. Disclaimer: I am one of these.
Add to the list another 'benefit': Getting immediate attention from any male dominated forum (case in point: HN).

Having worked with female colleagues (EEs), I have found much more diversity than common behavior. These sort of articles certainly do not reflect my experience (as a male).

Nick Denton speaks about Gawker redesign
"The Paradox of Choice" has a couple good insights, especially for entrepreneurs selling, but I think it misses one very important thing.

Yes, the unknowledgeable shopper will feel overwhelmed if you ask them what spice you want to buy out of 40 different spices, but the world would be much worse if there was a mandate that you could only buy pepper and garlic.

It would be easier for the unskilled cook, but serious chefs would have their ability severely curtailed.

Likewise, I think a lot of the "paradox of choice" applications evolve into tyranny - force simpliciy, because hey, that's great for people! All these choices confuse people! It's true, yes, that 80% to 90% of people don't want more choice and the choice is a hardship for them. But removing choice from that last 10 to 20% that are educated on the tradeoffs is really, really, really bad.

There's a fundamental flaw with the whole premise of paradox of choice - it ignores that there are people for whom a wide variety of choices is incredibly valuable and important. Encouraging restricting choices (especially by force! yuck!) makes things easier for most people, but destroys a lot of potential for amazing creations as well.
Thanks. We'll fix this.
I'd like stereotypes like that not to be true, but at my last two jobs I had coworkers who obviously did not shower regularly. It seems like something about programming gives people the idea that they can let their hygiene go in a way that no other white-collar workplace would tolerate. Or maybe I've just been unlucky.

All businesses ultimately serve their shareholders. That is not grounds for regulation.

After net neutrality does pass, how will the legislation (and associated regulatory body) actually decrease prices? Will starting an ISP be easier once they require a regulatory stamp-of-approval? Will censorship be rarer when all ISPs are subject to a single, central regulatory body?
