Meta Ask HN:  How frequently can I post comments?
I have increasingly been faced with the "You're submitting too fast. Please slow down. Thanks." message when trying to reply to comments.

I have gone as long as 3 hours between retries and still received this message. It may be longer still than that, and yet I see "conversation" style threads between people on HN, with as few as a few minutes between postings.

Any idea what is going on here?
Friends can be accessed similarly, but require an access token (_any_ access token, not just the user's that you're inspecting.

This would seem to be a bug if so, according to this page in the FB documentation: To get additional information about a user, you must first get their permission. At a high level, you need to get an access token for the Facebook user. After you obtain the access token for the user, you can perform authorized requests on behalf of that user by including the access token in your Graph API requests:

Full stack web servers like Mongrel or CherryPy.

Server fabrication and automation tools like Chef, Puppet, Fabric.

PHP is great for web apps, but the further I've gone into systems programming, the more I need Python/Perl/Ruby (or C).
I like how BankSimple is a world leading company. :)

A world leading company which hasn't launched...
Glom looks promising too: http://www.glom.org/
B is awful idea ... A and C are great. I would go for C - parents will spent money for an app for their kids without even thinking about it. And with A you might be going up against something that FB is going to release in the future which will just crush your business.
Because modern web apps are more than just a thin layer over the database.

Here's my recent experience:

1. An image server cobbled together using RabbitMQ, OpenCV, and Imagemagick. ElasticSearch is used for title/description searches.

Sure this could technically be done in PHP, but 80% of the code has nothign to do with the web in particular so its better to use a general purpose language that was designed from the start to be that rather than PHP which was a domain specific language that evolved to where it is today.

2. Hedge fund manager using Quantlib and NumPy. There's no equivilent in PHP. There's no easy way to interface with C-code. Cython and Cytpes make it easy. Doing so in PHP means hand writing a C-extension. I've done that before and let me tell you the Zend Engine not a pretty thing to work with.

3. Any project that has a rich client side interface built in javascript will get gains from using Python over PHP. At that point your server is really just a message backend controlled via REST or JSON-RPC.

I think this is a key point. Ballmer has been hogtied with the fallout of the anti-trust stuff. Microsoft can't use it's "installed base" advantage in the same way it once could. We'll see how great Google does once it inevitably faces the same issue.
Looking forward to finding out more. Please put me on an email list when you announce it and we'll definitely consider the service, it sounds like a great platform.
It might be unfair to compare the stock price to Google and Apple, but if you compare Gates to Ballmer, you can see that the stock has completely flattened since he took over. The rest of the article does point out some moves by him that sound really embarrassing. Having seen some videos of him doing interviews and presentations, I've had a very negative view of him and these points just reinforce that. Microsoft definitely seems on its way to irrelevance.

Ask HN: Anyone participating in the Heritage Healthcare Prize?
The Heritage Provider Network is running what looks like a "Netflix Prize for Healthcare". More details can be found at http://www.heritagehealthprize.com/c/hhp, but the gist of the idea is simple: to develop a prediction algorithm to identify patients that will be admitted into a hospital, based on data from their medical records.

Prizes are totaling USD 3 million.

I have worked in the past in an open source tool that deals with EMR (http://esphealth.org) and we had done some Syndrome Surveillance work to statistically determine the rate of infection of flu-like diseases.

I was a little far from the actual scientific models, but this is something that I'd like to get into.

Anyone else interested in the challenge?

PhD Thesis Tips to complete it successfully
Writing a good PhD thesis is one of the compulsory features of the PhD degree. This type of thesis is not easy to write. However, students should be aware that with the proper tips and help they will be well on their way to writing a successful PhD thesis.
Here's a better analogy:

Bananas and oranges go by nightfall after arrival in the day by ship, and there are no other sources of bananas and oranges. For every banana a person eats, they must also eat an orange.

Ships arrive sporadically throughout the day, and a ship can only contain bananas or oranges, not some of each. Only a few ships arrive each day. An equal number of bananas an oranges are shipped each day from the sources, but some of the ships sink on the way, so that there may be a surplus or deficit of bananas or oranges (remember, to eat one banana you must eat one orange).

Spotters see the ships coming at roughly the same time, with some randomly variation, and immediately adjust the price of existing bananas or oranges based on what the incoming ship is carrying--after all it didn't sink, and the fact that it didn't gives some information on whether or not there will be a banana/orange deficit.

One day a man invents a telescope and begins seeing the arriving ships five minutes before everyone else. He provides no net-wealth to society as a whole, but with the money he makes via arbitrage he begins commanding a disproportionate share of society's wealth for his own use.

*Galileo originally used his telescope invention for exactly this (in conjunction with a wealthy family)--one of the least useful things he ever did. Would you rather someone work in HFT (scope out banana boats 5 minutes earlier than the next guy) or work in something useful like scientific research/general technological improvement (Galileo's discovering of deeper secrets of the heavens/improvement of navigation and cartography enabled by the scope)?
Researchers Smash Super-Tough Robot Arm With Baseball Bat
True. For cynical people and coders used to a corporate environment, 'markting' is often something which overhypes a product, or makes promises in a sales situation that they then have to put up with and develop.

Whatever it's called, marketing isn't just something for companies, large or small. It can apply to single developers, who simply want to make sure all the hard work put into a project ends being worth it, because other developers benefited from your code.

Writers Are Losing the Fight Again
Atomheads roll out the strawman called coal and car accident statistics and make the baseless claim that no human has been killed as a result of a nuclear power generation, in terms of death per Gigwatt generated. Therefore, any discussion of the downsides of nuclear energy is just a bunch of ignorant rubes who lack an understanding of statistics.

If you mention the children born in the Ukraine and Belarus with horrific mutations and short lifespans, it will be either attributed to coal or spun to have nothing to do with the Chernobyl meltdown at all -- maybe the mother was playing with Uranium.

IBM cares about driving technology towards its own products, to thereby improve its own bottom line and shareholder value. It will promote and/or trash even its own product lines based on sales, not technical quality. It is a corporation. Why would you expect anything different?

The market returns should be adjusted for dividends. The market capitalization is what it is, simply a reflection of price and shares outstanding.
>> In fact, the acquisition by most accounts sounded more like a move by Ballmer to buy something that others may have wanted to own — just for the sake of others not owning it.

This struck me because I'm presently reading Stephen Levy's In the Plex, in which he reports at great lengths about why Google decided not to purchase Skype when eBay had it up for sale: mainly owing to Skype's peer-to-peer technology not being compatible with Google's existing centralized infrastructure. What reason would Microsoft have to think that this reasoning had changed?
Title is misleading.

Article he is referring to is in Developer Works, and is written by:

"Michael Abernethy, Freelance Programmer, Freelancer"

The only thing IBM related is the fact that IBM supports the DeveloperWorks community and pretty much lets anyone post anything there that sounds even remotely decent. It's up to the commenters and others to determine how useful the article is.

The OP clearly is new to DeveloperWorks. Does he also think Blogspot is responsible for all content published under Blogspot.com or tumblr responsible for all under tumblr.com?
This to me is amazing in it's brevity:

I have also heard Charlie Robbins say you can't build a web framework without threads, in spite of Python having multiple single threaded systems. When challenged, he said, "that's still a thread." Riiiiight...

So, back at you nodejitsu.
But unless Microsoft finds a new vision and direction, they're in serious trouble when those cash cows start to go dry.

What makes Microsoft's floundering under Ballmer particularly galling is the fact that Microsoft has been acutely aware of this for a very long time; the Sun and Netscape antitrust suits were born of Microsoft's fear of a platform-neutral world.

It's not here today, and we're only starting to see the first seeds of it with the rise of rich web applications and platforms like ChromeOS, but it's on its way. Microsoft still has a timeline in the scale of years to work with, but they need to start focusing aggressively on the future sooner rather than later, and, frankly, I don't see Ballmer as being the person capable of guiding the company through a transition they're going to have to make if they're going to survive in the long-term.
Lots of spreadsheets are eye-bleedingly bad. It doesn't have to be that way. Some principles I use when trying to improve hideous spreadsheets:

1) The main body of the data should fit on one page. In many cases, it can be made to fit, you just need to reorganize some of it and tweak sizes of boxes, use some reasonable abbreviations, etc.

2) Try to keep it to 7 colors (though this rule can be bent a smidgeon by going one shade darker for emphasis without really introducing a totally new color).

3) "Whiting out" (though beige, gray or taupe can be better choices than white) the background boxes can go a long way towards making a spreadsheet less torturous to look at.

4) Going one font size up and adding bolding can be plenty of emphasis. You really don't need anything of size 72 lettering just because it's a title or some such.

(I'm sure you don't personally care. And I'm not trying to change your mind. Maybe I just needed to say it for myself.)
Yeah, that's why I said in the extreme case you have to participate in all the volume. Of course randomly trading doesn't prove that you achieve VWAP, but I'm just saying that it's probably not terribly far off.

It could also be a 'We're the establishment, we don't care what others think now' vibe, instead of a last ditch effort that causes some companies to use seedy tactics.
Windows has ~4 times as many users as Skype.
I agree with you then, particularly when you say for comparative purposes only. My contention was that somebody evaluating the stock for purchase today should not include past dividends in the current market capitalization.

So you'd rather he not invent the telescope? Because inventing the telescope "provides no net-wealth to society?"
You could create an NPAPI plugin. That would be annoying for you and users. You could use flash. Or you could wait for the HTML5 Device Capture API (or whatever it becomes... http://www.w3.org/TR/html-media-capture/). It doesn't look like it is happening anytime soon though.
I would like to see this with the cost of tuition subtracted and say the top 3 paying professions post college being removed. Take out doctors, X, and Y and see what the numbers are.

Even for lawyers I was reading an article the other day that said more than half of all law students in the US won't ever make a high enough salary from law to justify their tuition costs.
Everyone here seems to pick C, which is the one that I am least enthusiastic about. I'm not convinced that the dangers of a kid browsing the internet are significant. Though of course what matters is what parents of these kids think. Still aren't there enough internet for kids filters already?

Make something more unique, like a quiz where the kids have to find the answers on Wikipedia. Or custom made videos a la sixty symbols or kahn academy that explain something. Or a site like reddit for kids for sharing "hey this is cool!"-stuff. Or a community site where kids can work and discuss projects they're working on. As a kid I'd have loved a site for discussing and sharing experience with other kids how to make the best water rocket, making a water electrolysis apparatus, making trebuchets, making websites, fun chemistry experiments etc.

B seems like a good idea to me, though I wonder how many competitors already exist. A simple tool where multiple people can create a tree of tasks and indicate that they are working on a certain task and set expected time of completion would be useful to me. Though for me personally the collaboration aspect wouldn't be so useful, more useful would be something tailored to freelancers: a website that published certain parts of the task tree password protected to help show clients what you're working on and what progress you're making. Of course you're in an incredibly crowded space here.
Although, strictly speaking, "I write codes" may not be wrong, since, at root, it refers to "I write programming codes", i.e. the codes used to convert human-language statements of intent into stuff that computers can "understand" and execute. But my reference was more to the current usage, which is "my code", not "my codes", for "my programs" or "programs written by me".
Your analogy is pretty good, but the part about the telescope is critically flawed. You assume that there is very little (zero?) variance in the future once the man with the telescope sees the incoming ship. In the scenario you described, that may be the case.

Unfortunately, in the stock market, there is no where near that level of certainty about the future. There is great risk to posting prices that may in fact be terribly wrong in the future. That is the risk that market makers have to grapple with and quantify when they post or take liquidity.

Suppose that every time you spotted a ship through the telescope, it would magically explode 2 minutes later. This happened roughly 50% of the time, as observed over 1 million ship sightings for the past few years. This is a lot closer to what the stock market is like. The other difference is that every serious player in the stock market also has a telescope :(

Also elsewhere he says that he rarely has an active internet connection, so presumably the demon runs and mailserver flushes during the window that his internet is on.
They still have no idea where the leaked, radioactive water went, and it could find its way to the ocean or underground water sources. I'd say it sure is a potential problem.
"Could make a small fortune..."

This spikes my BS mater just a bit. Are any of these people actually doing this? Doing it consistently? Making a fortune? (How small is small, btw).

If there was free money for the taking, someone would be taking it and squashing the opportunity out for the others. It's how markets (and especially the stock market) works.
Yes it's painful. I find it's best to use safari to browse netflix and then when a video plays it launches the app.

Funny how netflix constantly sends surveys about picture quality (which is always fine) and their website ui is so clunky and broken.

PostgreSQL devs lift open source database to enterprise heights
If you look at Microsoft's words and actions in regards to their competitors, they are clearly completely clueless.

In fact, "Microsoft people" are often completely blind to everything not made by Microsoft. Reading HN you may never know, but if you've met actual .NET stack developers, or MSCE's or anyone else similar, and you'll find people who make websites and don't know what apache is. Or they'll dismiss open source technologies with ridiculous reasoning.

That's what I see when MS speaks.

(To be fair, IBM can be the same way, if you are in certain industries, and I would imagine Cisco has the same effect in networking, but that's outside my knowledge)
i had the same thought - the npv would change significantly, i would imagine.
If Apple was willing to sell replacement parts to the public I would feel better about these types of upgrades. I don't mind doing the work but it's always stressful knowing you don't really have a Plan B if something goes wrong. I tend to only do these upgrades near the end of the machine's life cycle so if I totally bork it up I won't feel too bad about it. If you're lucky you might be able to find the parts on eBay. I've been casually studying the economics behind this. My theory is it's entirely possible to buy a brand new iMac, take it apart, and sell all the individual components on eBay for a pretty decent profit.
