I think a lot more has to happen for the mouse to die. It might get less popular in the computing mainstream, if the new-fangled devices really take over (i.e. no more PC as a "hub"), but that just means we're back to the "workstation" days, and the expert users will still use that (+ keyboard shortcuts etc.).

The infamous "gorilla arm" has been mentioned here already. For a 8+ hours computing device, a bit more has to change than just tablets and Windows 8. We'd need some kind of super-ergonomic version of the Tron CEO desk.

NB: For those professionals who aren't using their mouse due to super-keyboard-efficiency (or possible pseudo-efficiency), it might as well replace it for the few times they'll use it. Whether the occasional moment of direct manipulation is handled by a mouse, trackball, trackpad, IBM nipple or touchscreen isn't that important.

Tineye must take this so much further, one image I looked up was about half of one of the pictures returned, I think it was in a page of a book.

From the reddit link further down - "A Fourier transform takes a signal in the time domain and breaks it down into its frequency components. Simplified, it takes a CD and produces sheet music.", "To be clear, OP says this is a matching algorithm - it's not what tineye uses, because matching the signature from the searched-for image with the database of previous signatures which is probably a nightmare."
I'm confused. This is a timelapse video. So shouldn't the camera appear to be turning a little bit faster than that?

Finding stars? No-ones (yet) said why this couldn't apply, it's well known what stars have already been seen, there's a lot of unchecked data (so I'm told), it's random (every chunk of data from any direction has a chance) and it should lead to a slow increase in currency (new telescopes get more data in better detail).

yes, you are alone.

the fact is that no matter how used to the mouse we are, it isnt natural. think of the ease of switching desktops in ubuntu with the mouse or even the keyboard shortcuts, then to simply swipe into the next desktop using your ipad.

the ease is infinitely greater.

the proof of this is the success of gmail motion ;)

Contrast this with what a bootstrapped business does with all its money:

After the inventory sold, it was a matter of repeating the process. “You take all the money you make and buy more inventory with it,” Seidle says. “You continue to do this until either you have enough inventory to cover the number of incoming orders or you want to eat. I think it was more than 3 years before I was able to buy a new winter jacket. A growing, bootstrapped business is a cash devouring machine.”

So HNers, do you think we're in a bubble?

It's a valid point, but most of the people that matter have learnt that it doesn't matter, I believe several governments support open source, nearly all tech companies do (IBM does a lot, even Microsoft). Most other companies have little reason to, they need Office. A lot (all?) of the computers aimed at old people, or nonstandard functions like routers, TVs are clearly not Windows, do non-tech people think about this? I've taught my parents too much to test this, what do old people think non-Windows/Mac is? It is all open source.
For a short while it was quite fashionable to have really small Windows programs around, before broadband was common enough, as a reaction to bloated programs, Java runtimes, multi-megabyte VB executables etc. Saw quite a number of assembly-based editors back then. But to be honest, most of those were a small wrapper around the Windows edit controls...

I'm not saying that you can't use bitcoins as votes. You could; but any change to the rules needs to be also be enforced within the network, right? So you need some mechanism for figuring out the majority within the network, which obviously can't be done with bitcoins.
No. Without seeing the code, my guess is it's used either as a control console or for IPC.
Hey, while the subscription feature for new papers sounds like a nice thing, I thought that it can have another useful function.

For example, let us assume that you are starting an exciting new project and need to learn about the most prominent papers in the field of "antimatter". One may expect that there are some classic introductory texts, of very high quality that are obvious to people who have been working in the field for a while but are much less evident to outsiders like you. Googling may not always yield direct recommendation for the best text and you need to consult an expert. There are also some well-known in-depth and concise-but-exact-overview texts you need to know about.

What if there was a voting system on the best review in this specific field? Such a wikipedia of the most important papers in different subfields would be potentially of great use for everyone.

I would love to volunteer for managing of some sections as an experiment if that is of interest to you.

i think that the way games are designed now with there midget buttons need a mouse. but i think if they can be re-designed and re-thought of. it can work.

Actually, I thought of a site that scanned FJ and similar, copied the content, scanned services like Google and TinEye for the original content and then rehosted it all with attribution to the original source (and not FJ et al).

The effort required to filter out duplicates, locate correct attribution and links to the site holding the original content could be crowdsourced. Give users points of reputation for updating content with correct attribution and links, or adding something in the first place with the same or for adding genuinely original content, take away point when "original" content gets found as copied (this could be applied instantly if a user uploads something that is detected as a duplicate of an item already listed with correct attribution), and so forth.

Some meta-moderation (like slashdot) might be needed though, as well as a conflict resolution process that would need human intervention at some point, and some effort would need to go into creating and maintaining good relationships with the original content creators, so for from a complete walk in the park to do properly. Part of the "sell" to the original author like The Oatmeal could be providing a list of places where the same content is found with no attribution and back-links, keeping this site free of "bad" ads (adult and/or disturbing content, pop-ups/unders, irritating flash, or just too much advertising) and showing only thumbnails/segments with links to the full content on their site if they prefer.

If it wasn't for the fact I once again completely failed to win the lottery this week so still have to work to pay the mortgage, I'd be tempted to give such a project a go...

I think what is more troubling is that Microsoft has apparently signaled a major shift in the preferred way to develop programs for the Windows platform and simultaneously refused to address the implications for developers, asking them to wait for further announcements in September.

That's a recipe for fear, uncertainty and doubt within the tribe itself.

Put another way: it's hard to reconcile "Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers!" with "We're changing things radically concerning the way you develop, but we won't tell you how-- hold tight until September, 'mmm-kay?"

Nice idea. But they only used 2D translation and rotation. Ideally they would have used a homography (projective transformation).

I'm currently reading Meatball Sundae by Seth Godin. It talks about how, just like the industrial revolution did away with the local blacksmith, the new marketing revolution is going to do away with the need to interrupt people through Tv/Radio/Advertising etc.

He also says that as the way to market a business has and is changing, this also means the way companies organise themselves and run has to fundamentally change too. Its a very interesting read.

The second book i am reading is called "Too nice for your own good" by Duke Robinson. It's for people who are either passive/aggressive or not very assertive. I have yet to make a judgment on this one, but it seems ok so far.

Apologies if you were looking for some interesting reading in terms of fiction. I havent read fiction in years.
As a .NET developer, I'm not in any way worried that they're going to replace the .NET framework as their primary enterprise platform, with javascript.

For this tile UI, I'm a little surprised - if only because it's quite different from how WinPhone7 works (isn't it?).
The Rational Optimist expounds this theme at length. A summary is: produce narrowly, consume widely.

Surprisingly, it benefits everyone to produce what they are best at and trade for the rest, even when you trade for something that you are better at producing (i.e you are even better at producing something else). Thus, people can optimize locally.

EDIT uh, article is by the same guy. Great book though he gets a bit rabid at the end. There's an especially striking story of skill loss in Tasmanian native Australians, due to being cut off from the mainland and having too small a population for the requisite collection intelligence to maintain those skills (doesn't prove it of course). Just now, I'm reminded of what someone said of MS: because millions of people use it, it's worth it to work on little details - so you can have a menu specialist. IIRC, collective intelligence isn't so much about how many people put their intelligence into it, but how many people need it (i.e. the market). The collectivity comes in in that other people similarly specialize in something else.

The use of the algorithm is mostly orthogonal to the language being used. It's like saying 'walking from Amsterdam to Rotterdam can be faster than going by bike, if you take a detour to Beijing when using a bike'.

Personally, I often do an initial write of a program first in Python and rewrite in C/C++ if necessary. Usually, the first unoptimized C++ implementation is 10-100x faster than an optimized Python implementation.

I can see how that would be useful, but I fear it is outside of the context of the site and I'm not sure how it would fit. Comments on Science is supposed to be about comments, not about papers themselves, but I guess the jury's still out on that one.
The best I can do, that still fits in the context of the site as it is now, is to have a link where you can list papers tagged with e.g. "antimatter", and order them by score.
I'll think about your idea and get back to you on that. I would love to have some help as I am a solo-coder-designer-administrator on the site and it's already proved to be a handful.

Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated.

Edit: I forgot to add a link for a similar site to that you described, but for computer science: http://jeffhuang.com/best_paper_awards.html Admittedly, the voting is missing, and it's quite narrow in scope, but my guess is sites like that exist for most fields. Have you not found any for theoretical physics?

This is such an awesome idea. You should seed the site with lots of papers. Look at the Mendeley API to see if you can leverage it in some way.
At this point Microsoft is just pre-empting Apple announcements at WWDC. It's all hubris until they deliver something more concrete. There will be internal debate about HTML5/JS vs .NET, and their choice of strategic platform has changed enough times in the last few years to make me take this announcement with a pinch of salt.

I'm not worried until they shut up and ship.
I'd say code readability is at the level of a Node.js application.
Obviously not, a Win32 process is not required to have any windows at all. Actually, web servers are typically ran as services and services are not allowed to interact with the user interface at all in theory (not just with windows, but with things such as printers either).
What I'd like to see there is Haskell version and how all those implementations speed up when running on several cores.

This is much more interesting considering our current reality.

I once gained 10% speed up on two cores by changing just two lines of our optimization tool written on Haskell.

Last time Silverlight was in the headlines it was because, surprise, MS was pushing HTML5/JS over it. Same deal here, I can't say I'm too shocked this time.

Although now their API situation is more of a mess, with normal native APIs plus HTML5 for Windows now, then there's Silverlight for Windows Phone 7. Makes you wonder if they didn't have any foresight about this decision when choosing WP7's set of APIs.

As a .NET dev, I'm not worried, MS has invested really heavily into .NET, it's everywhere in their eco-system now. Even if the preferred way to build some desktop apps was HTML/JS, .NET is still going to be in use in many other places.

Even if they did ditch .NET (which I don't think they will), it would take years to do; plenty of time to move to something else ;)

Yep, iterators are one of the most annoying things in C++. That's why I love range for in C++0x - instead of writing this, for example:

for(std::vector<std::string>::iterator it = vec.begin(); it != vec.end(); it++)

you can just do:

for(std::string x : vec)

So awesome!
