Rather ironic that the function "multiplex" as "multiple x" is included in an article that says:

"If you don’t have an absolute clarity in the code you’re pushing, it rears its head by way of bugs, confused coworkers, and slow code."

That's the single most confusing function name I've seen in a while.
Thanks for the comments. I was aware of most of the issues posted; its what I hoped was a minimum viable product.

The results links open with a js popup - would a regular link be better? just my concern is you'd navigate away from the search results if you left-clicked.

As for the .co - I can't afford a nice short .com right now, just need some funding to buy the .com!
For my money, the single greatest evil Microsoft has ever perpetuated is Internet Explorer. And they show no signs of giving up the ghost on that one. The World Wide Web would get my vote as mankind's single greatest achievement, and I think we're still right at the very beginning of it's chapter in history.

Sadly, my view is that we're 10 years behind where we should be because progress is anchored to Internet Explorer, and will be for another 10 years at least.

I will happily call IE evil because Microsoft have used it as a weapon in numerous attempts to seize control of something they didn't create, don't understand and above all have no right to mess with.
The Bill & Belinda Gates Foundation != Microsoft. It's true that it wouldn't exist without Microsoft, but the two are entirely different enterprises, with entirely different characteristics.

Argumentative Essay
An argumentative essay is written in order to prove a point. It is done by providing the reader with sufficient evidence to support the thesis statement. The aim of the essay is to ensure that the reader accepts the writer’s point of view without any hesitation.
Disagree. The key point with iCloud is that the primary storage for all your data is on the device the Cloud is used in the main simply for syncing and messaging.

That's why I like the Apple vision - it leaves my data with me. It doesn't lock it up in a cloud somewhere.

A PhD thesis with little other impact would be the equivalent of a business that barely breaks even. My point is that the luck/work ratio of , say, the 10 greatest websites is much higher than the equivalent of , say, the laws of quantum mechanics.
"Doing a correct benchmark is clearly not an easy task. There are many walls (TCP/IP stack, OS settings, the client itself, …) that may corrupt the results, and there is always the risk to compare apples with oranges (e.g. benchmarking the TCP/IP stack instead of the server itself)."

By hosting the web server and the client on the same computer, he is testing one aspect in isolation of others. This is a good thing, and is generally the way in which scientific tests advance knowledge.
Really cool. And you have also shared the technology used in the site. May be you could blog about the development life cycle detailing some of the rationale for selecting a given tech. Kind of like making of Wispy. I am sure many of the us will get benefited out of that.
That's your definition of "cloud".

I'm not interested in a "cloud" solution that forces me to use a browser for everything.
Most of what you just said is simply not true. Without the method types, the compiler will print a warning, infer the wrong ABI and generate the wrong code. If am ambigious match ia made, the wrong code will be generated. What you just wrote may work, but only because the compiler works to match against defined methods types, and even then it can and will get it wrong.

The support for 'id' is only intended to serve as a mechanism to get around the lack of parameterized types, and as part of ARC, the compiler does now infer the types for alloc/init.
I'm tired of corruption... no, I'm sick to the back teeth of it, and I'm angry.

I wish Anonymous every success because if it were left to me, If I were the one to choose what sort of justice was to be portioned out to the people abusing the privileges we the public bestow on them, it would look an awful lot like a stick with a nail in it.

They should be thankful they're going up against Anonymous, because it's understudy looks a lot more violent.
I'm planning on doing that, and open sourcing quite a bit of the tools/libraries I had to build myself. The contact page is a little fancy in that it sniffs your browsers feature set via javascript and sends it on to me when you send a message, a huge help with tech support :) Its up on github and linked to on the faq page.
Why on earth is this stuff in browser in the first place? Just so that a tiny handful of web pages can show GL demos? It's just crazy to include all this functionality in mainstream browsers.
"They talk about the past 200 years of central banking and seem to forget the thousands of years of human economy before governmental central banking, when money was actually backed by a scarce resource."

Please check your facts. For the majority of human history, money was not backed by a scarce resource, but by government power.

For example, there was no guarantee in the Roman empire of exchanging coins to a certain amount of gold or silver, and the value of the coins in the Roman empire was largely unrelated to their material value.

To make that more precise, the reason that precious metals were used in coins was to prevent forgeries. If C is the cost to produce a coin or piece of paper money, then its value will (with very few degeneracies) always be in the range between C and f*C, where f > 1 is a factor that depends on the level of anti-forgery technology, and on the efficiency of law enforcement for tracking down forgers.

After all, no government in their right mind would produce coins whose value is lower than or equal to the cost to produce them - that would just be a nonsensical work. Therefore, the value is larger than C.

However, the higher the ratio between value and cost of production, the more attractive the coin or paper money becomes as a target for forgers. So raising the cost C of production makes it less attractive to forgers.

Interesting side note: If you actually look at the (unfortunately scarce) data concerning inflation in the Roman empire, you will see that as inflation pushes the real value of coins down, and the nominal cost of production of the coins up, the government eventually reacted by minting new coins with adjusted production costs (by reducing the amount of precious metals in the coins, or by creating new coins with the same amount of precious metals, but higher nominal value).

It is quite unfortunate that folklore has the causality between minting coins and inflation exactly the wrong way around.

It is precisely because I'd rather never read anything from 'business executives and marketing depts' that I use a text-only email client. Email is for concise communication of ideas via text. If you need pictures and pretty layouts to sell your ideas, email me a link to a web page. (Which I probably won't visit.)

There's ONE THING ONLY that html email is good for. And that's alerting me to a sender's failure to understand the fundamental natures of the different coding schemes for the written word.

You should also note that if the majority of people in Northern Ireland wanted to be part of the Republic they would actually vote that way at any of the relevant elections.

Except he isn't just testing one aspect in isolation of others. He's actually introducing an entirely new aspect (the client) which is a substantial load and won't be there in production.
Gaming.

A large part of people is using the web for (casual MMO) gaming. 3D gaming is very popular and attracts users. Currently this involves hacks using clunky applets (such as java3d). With WebGL, this will be a thing of the past.

3D in the browser has been tried before with VRML, which failed. One of the reasons for failing was that is was too high-level. Most game devs want to use low-level APIs such as OpenGL. Hence I think WebGL will be huge success.
Ask HN: I make $30k/month thanks to Bitcoin. What should I do?
I am not here for boasting, but my question is purposefully meant to be provocative.

I used to be one of the biggest Bitcoin miners, back when the difficulty level was low enough that CPU mining was the norm. These days people mine with video cards but I am mostly out of the game...

Anyway, I have accumulated enough Bitcoins (73k BTC) and the exchange rate has skyrocketed so much ($27/BTC as I am typing) that I am currently selling on a daily basis as many as possible via MtGox. They have a limit of $1000/day, so I am effectively making $30k/month. (I do plan to report this income to the IRS and am about to hire a tax accountant.)

But the question I have asked myself is: what should I do with that money? Or what would you do if you were in my situation? I am a typical geek with a successful technical career: well-paid Senior Developer position, as an H1B visa holder, working for a large US company. I enjoy my job, but to be truthful I have always wanted to found a startup. However, as an H1B holder, I cannot start a company in the US.

If I quit my job I will be bored and run out of money after a few years.

If I return to my home country to found the startup I will regret the opportunities I may have in the US.

If I keep my current job I will regret the opportunities of not starting a startup today.
copy & paste:
wow… thats exactly the reason why I quit. Because my boss is an asshole, freaking out once every day. And because I think I’m not born to be employed. So, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for showing me that it was right. :)

I just counted everything including stdlib and whatnot (all that comes in the checkout). "Rubinius is still implemented more in Ruby than any other implementation out there." well that's probably true, but not really useful. If all ruby implementations had 0 lines of Ruby and Rubinius 1 would you call it "mostly written in ruby"?

10X on LOC count is bogus, just because it's a single number. It does depend on what you do, it might end up being that, being more or being less, essentially [citation needed].

Anyway, even assuming this odd coefficient, I wouldn't say 1/3 "not Ruby" is "pretty good", although "pretty good" is not a precisely defined term, so we're free to agree to disagree on that. Given the same assumptions you can say CPython is written mostly in Python (10x Python-vs-C, including all the library code).

‘Many Apple Fans Around The World Wonder Which Sweaters Steve Jobs Wears’
HTML email allows people who are incapable of expressing their ideas in readable plain text, to ALSO impose their barbaric stylistic tastelessness on you, the recipient.
The cloud is still a relatively new concept, loose at that, and certainly too early in it's conception for definitions such as this. Remember, Steve Jobs isn't selling the cloud, he's selling The Apple Cloud. And as regards music Jobs knows very well today's cellular networks are not capable of streaming music reliably (as Spotify is all too well aware with Offline Mode).

"I’m grateful there are open platforms like Android out there that will compete with Apple. And I’m grateful there are developers who will make use of these platforms to give us extreme uses of tech that would never make it into Apple’s cozy padded-wall-land. But as a matter of policy, we’re all better off letting Apple behave like a perfectionist chef that doesn’t allow salt at his tables. You don’t have to eat at the restaurant–there are lots of others–but you’ll probably be glad if you do." - Jerry Brito
well, you probably should get a place for many computers (good aircondition), computers with low end cpus, but a few really good graphic cards inside and mine again. Then with the leftover you could start a startup, make websites or host them, or you could donate them to some great open source projects you rely on.
An architect friend of mine commented: "they always ask for free wifi".

He also said that it's amazing salesmanship on Steve Jobs' part to have pitched this and basically given nothing to the council. Most councils manage to squeeze all sorts of concessions from even large multinationals (e.g. banks in the UK). Steve gave them, basically, nothing - not even free wifi.

If they'd been more savvy they could probably have had their free wifi and Apple store - it's cheaper to Apple than relocating 10k employees to another city and drawing all the plans again from scratch. Steve may be known for holding grudges, but he's also a relatively rational businessman.

If you have a supply of Natural Gas: it's probably not the cheapest way to get power, but apparently they're working on a whole passive solar thing, so they might not need much for HVAC. It might be a good thing from a power availability standpoint. California is prone to earthquakes and a computer design office without power is pretty much a closed office.
True. There are exceptions to the statement I made, which is why I pointed out that it's not wholly fair. In fact, Amazon's entire existence can in many ways be said to have been the creation of a new market.

Even still, I think it's fair to say that Amazon primarily innovates these days through rapid and extensive iteration, especially on its consumer side.

C is a C-like language.
C++, being a superset of a language very similar to C, is a C-like language.
Objective-C, as a superset of C, is a C-like language.

But Java? and Javascript? They both have C-style syntax, but apart from that they are both very different from C (and from each other).

Please don't say `C-like' when mere `C-style syntax' is meant. (And please don't think that having similar syntax implies any other close similarity between languages.)
It won't be a success until Local Storage isn't limited to 5MB. Right now there's no way to "install" your game into a browser, which cripples WebGL's ability to be a serious alternative to traditional PC-based gaming / mobile gaming.

A single uncompressed 1024x1024 RGBA texture is 4MB, for example.

(I say all this not to be negative, but rather in hopes that the correct developers will hear the plea from the indie game industry: enhance Local Storage. We want to build games on your WebGL platform, but we can't until you do.)

that said, i'd prolly cash out half and start a mining pool. get a garage/basement, invest 10k in some serious GPU shit and get at it. with the prices continuing to go up, you should come out ahead.

Most discussions about commenting necessarily revolve around how to comment functions/methods/classes, when to comment, how to write code that is so intuitive that it doesn't necessarily require commenting, etc. In my opinion, these discussions miss out a key documentation requirement: describing how everything fits together.

Let's assume the supposed best-case: every single method and class is commented using a language-specific documentation system (I'm thinking of EDoc for Erlang, Javadoc for Java, etc). Who cares? Congratulations: I now know how all your functions work. But what is the system architecture? How do object instances of the different classes hang together to support the functional specifications? What is the sequence of events for various successful and failed transactions?

I suppose what I'm complaining about is the rationale that code commenting can necessarily substitute a solid set of functional specification and design documents. Then again, noone here made this suggestion, so maybe I'm just whining into a black hole. The only open-source project that comes to mind when I think of an astoundingly high quality of documentation is SQLite in the form of "Inside SQLite (2007)" (O'Reilly); unfortunately it's not free.

True, 5MB limits you to pretty simple games :)

Keep cashing out until you have enough BTC to fund your start-up, don't act as if you had a million dollars, because you still don't have them.

It's hard not to have ideas for startups based on Bitcoins honestly.

You may be interested in putting some of the money you are making into ensuring Bitcoin is a success. For example, at the moment I think that MtGox predominance in the market is a bad thing for the future of Bitcoin.

Also, don't give BTC to people who just ask for them, like me: 1BNbVQBhfb8G4yG81bbcXWQmt7uDLrVrk3

The original report was not from NATO, it was from the NATO Parliamentary Assembly. It's basically a place where lawmakers from NATO countries can go pontificate and bloviate over things. If I recall correctly, it's not a consensus body and it makes no decisions for the alliance. It doesn't even have a formal tie to the North Atlantic Council.

It's not the North Atlantic Council, it's not the Military Committee, it's not even the Civil Communications Planning Committee. If the suggested report were from one of those committees, then I'd be just as concerned as Anonymous.

To clarify, I don't actually think I will eventually run out of Bitcoin wealth, as I expect their value to keep increasing (unless Bitcoin crashes).

I am simply cashing out as fast as I can, in the short term, in order to diversify my wealth across BTC and USD to spread risk. I own the equivalent of $2 million in Bitcoins, so I would probably want to sell a quarter or a third of that.
