In theory, you can also use CSS3 and some hackery and get all the geometric goodness ... but that's in theory. In practice, your code will look oh so nasty and be unmaintainable. Maybe by HTML6 or CSS4 we'll get some geometric goodness making this feasible, but for now, Canvas or SVG is the way to go.

Ask HN: Starting pay for junior dev & UI designer?
I've got a friend who owns a small company that is looking to improve the technology end of their business. It isn't a tech-centered company, but they need to improve upon what they have.

What should I tell him to expect to pay a junior developer and UI designer annually? He wouldn't need someone with lots of experience, just someone who could get the job done right and someone eager for a career. It would be full time salary, with benefits, would have their own office and is based in central Florida.

I was thinking mid 30's for UI designer and mid 40's for junior dev considering what I listed above. Thoughts?

Actually, I'm wondering how does a bitcoin bank avoid physical robberies? For example, a criminal or government officials physically kidnaps a bank official and demands the private keys? How do you implement the equivalent of cryptographic vaults that only trusted officials have access? In addition, how do you track the serial numbers of stolen bitcoins?

> The best seem to be Gunicorn and uWSGI, and Gunicorn seems the best supported and most active project.

This is not so cut and dry. In May, Gunicorn had 12 mailing list messages, where uWsgi had 191. uWsgi has a twitter with 225 followers, where Gunicorn has none. #gunicorn@freenode has 32 users, but #nginx@freenode seems to have a lot of uWsgi users.

Also, the author mentions nothing about installing the Nginx PPA for ubuntu. If you use the default repo on Lucid (as suggested by the author), you will end up with a very old version of Nginx that doesn't even natively support wsgi.
I'm not sure you looked at what I posted. __builtin_ia32_psadbw is right there on the list of builtins. I've used __builtin_ia32_psadbw128 in GCC myself. It compiles directly to PSADW instructions. Perhaps you confused what I was talking about with GCC's auto-vectorization?

Those aren't gcc vectors, those are intrinsics. Vectors use something like this:

typedef uint32_t v4si __attribute__((vector_size (16)));
v4si v16 = {v,v,v,v};

__builtin functions that act on __m128 values are separate from "GCC vector instructions".
And, They're Off #SWDFW
I'm puzzled by this too, especially with ChromeOS/Android.
I agree. I have no idea what wordpress is thinking with their "iPad-optimized" version. It is much slower, uglier, and harder to navigate than their default themes.
That was my reaction too. Bit of a fluff piece. Here's an interesting link with some opinions from a commodities investor regarding China, and whether the ghost cities are a significant problem or not:

http://www.moneymorning.com.au/20110616/why-im-flying-the-fl...

He points out that China is urbanizing like mad (1 per cent a year) on top of 0.5 per cent population growth. At those rates, 50 million empty houses doesn't look so big. Whether there are other factors that prevent people taking up those apartments isn't clear though. Also I guess it depends on the financial situation of the developers. If there is a lot of leverage on those assets that are sitting idle and not being sold or generating income that must be hurting someone. Or perhaps the state owns them directly or indirectly, so ROI doesn't matter so much in the short term? I don't know.

"even if I granted that Apple was solely responsible for WebKit"

Straw man. Nobody said that. Nobody implied that.

"So if we're being thankful of browser vendors"

I wasn't been thankful of browser vendors. If I was, I'd be thankful to Google for Chrome. In fact I'm being thankful for WebKit which freed the world from a long tail of shitty in-house mobile browsers.

I don't want to be misconstrued as an Apple fanboy, but surely credit should be due when it's due. Apple (through David Hyatt and others) took a ghettoized library and turned it into a cross-platform, cross-ecosystem, cross-device library so good that companies like Google and Nokia can't help but contribute massively.

No question Chrome is the superior implementation of WebKit on the desktop. Chrome iterates faster, but it's iteration on the back of giants.

Similarly the KHTML team deserves recognition, but even they will admit their plans didn't go beyond the KDE ecosystem.

As you say, its not so cut and dry.

Gunicorn has only had a mailing list since about May. Most of our dev work is based in IRC or via the GitHub issues tracker. The three committers, @benoitc, @tilgovi, and @davisp have a combined 1709 twitter followers. There are also 479 watchers and 64 forks of the main development repo on GitHub.

Bottom line, numbers like this don't really mean much. In the end, people should investigate any project they think is a candidate and make a decision based on their specific criteria rather than try and use some proxy metric to make the decision.
In any country of the world, you'll find cities, houses, building that are not acquired, for a reason or another.

Yes, the US had quite a few unoccupied suburban developments in the sand states around 2005-2008 (and they are still vacant today). I believe Ireland had similar phenomena.
I think we'll see a phase out of version numbers on public facing download sites and just have "Firefox" instead of "Firefox v4, v5" etc. Internally, devs might have Firefox 1243053 but we might never see that as the version number, sadly.

I was in Buenos Aires a couple years ago and was talking to some U.S. oilmen. They said Argentina was unbelievably corrupt and that it was easier to do business in Egypt.

BA is beautiful but tragic, there are massive shanties surrounding a city designed after Paris and built 100 years ago, when Argentina was among the wealthiest nations in the world.

If you don't think politics matters, study Argentina and the way their elites, inspired by the statist Peronista ideology, have ransacked the nation and its people.
Well I suspect this bubble (if it is indeed a bubble) is somehow related to the recent stimulus efforts, so I suppose it depends what the Fed does after ending QE2 at the end of this month, if they eventually begin a new round of QE (in one form or another), and how long they maintain exceptionally low interest rates.
I think some libertarians support small governments and small corporations.

Large corporations always use their influence on governments. This happens for a lot of time around the world. Those corporations influence governments to stipulate laws that protect their own interests rather than interest of proletariat.

The most disturbing aspect is that those large corporations propaganda as they are in fact protecting proletariat's property right. In a country such as U.S. where 1% in populations control 33% of the wealth and 10% in population control 66% of the wealth, the law is not for protecting 90% population's property right, but the 10%.

You doubts this? Look at RIAA, MPAA's effort in U.S. Congress.

P.S. I am a closet libertarian.

If this came into effect using commercial hardware, you'd probably end up seeing cluster networks where neighborhoods become isolated mesh networks.

They are definitely similar, but I wouldn't say XSSI is a type of CSRF. CSRF refers specifically to a few methods of attack, distinct from what is used in XSSI.

Regardless, it seems CSRF is much more widely known than XSSI, so you could say worrying about the distinction is just pedantry. I was very surprised when I searched earlier and could not so much as find an OWASP mention of XSSI. Still very important to know though.

Hedge funds may not have been a big part of this crisis. But the next to last major financial crisis is a case study in this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-Term_Capital_Management

Hedge funds were also more a result of a lack of regulation, or side-stepping current regulations by being defined differently, not so much a matter of deregulation. See it as regulators not stepping up or not allowed to step up and adapt.

It's not like regulation serves to make any financial crisis avoidable. But smarter, more adaptable regulation can limit the depth of the rot, help shore up the integrity and health of the financial system, and possibly allow for a softer landing.
Nokia is often cited as a big contributor because they bought TrollTech. Much of Nokia's own work on WebKit for the S60 never got merged back into the mainline.

Similarly, RIM's contributions were actually Torch Mobile, who they acquired less than two years ago. Torch employed several long-time KHTML and WebKit contributors.

Google are (I believe) the biggest single contributor today, but their contributions aren't yet substantial overall.

Apple's contributions included extensive work on standards compliance, web compatibility, performance, security, robustness, testing infrastructure and butt loads of major features. You know, the important bits.
I never learned to touch type. But if I use some amount of concentration I can type without looking at the keyboard. It's a bit like playing the guitar. I can see a mental picture of the keyboard and I can hit them with fairly high accuracy. I use most of my fingers but the pinkies are often regulated to hitting modifiers. Strangely I cannot picture many of the punctuation keys very well. Nor digits; top row or keypad.

I remember having to hunt and peck. But kids now use the keyboard from a younger age, I think the need for formal typing skills is not going to be necessary.

Agreed, but I'm sure the trend data would be useful for quantifying how their brand is tracking (not to mention how their competitors are tracking).

Plus I'm sure they can separate statistics based on whether they installed it directly, or whether it was installed as part of Skype, or whatever. The skype-installed user base would be somewhat closer to typical users.
I admit I know approximately nothing about how rapidly infrastructure deteriorates, detailed demographic trends in China, or the decision making process that allocates these resources. It still seems to me that there must be some rational justification for the excess construction, even if it is a misconceived idea. Someone in the system thinks the use of resources in building these cities has a purpose, and since the purpose does not seem to be immediate use, the idea of an investment or hedge is the explanation that makes sense to me. It's just an attempt to understand why these cities exist. Is there a simple explanation I don't know about?

You seem to assume that they type slower than all touch-typists, but I've met some touch-typists (with years of experience) that type slower than some non-touch-typists.

As someone who played with both HyperCard and too many a BBS back in the day I can tell you that the web was inevitable (see FidoNet). It might have evolved in half a dozen ways and looked slightly different, but it would have happened. Also having somewhat survived the dot.com era of the 90s I'd have to say what really gave the web its power was broadband getting to the masses, and several industries gave that push.

Not so great when the shoe's on the other foot, is it?
Because time does not go backwards?

The problem with counterfactual history is that history is nonlinear: The things which do happen affect the things that don't. In particular, it is very hard to write the future history of things that were squelched by larger forces before they could grow big. Squelched things are obscure. They are hard to research.

It's hard enough to write an actual early history of, say, Apple -- much of it was witnessed only by a handful of people, and memory is fallible, and lots of traditions have obscure beginnings -- but how do you write the future history of the company that Steve Jobs would have started if Woz had decided to remain at H-P? It's like trying to predict hurricanes by tracking all the butterflies.

The alternative is hiring a graphics designer who can come in at around $30Kish

The justification is economic growth. People are employed, new apparently valuable infrastructure is created, and GDP continues to grow. Why exactly China want's GDP to grow, I don't know, but maybe it hopes to get foreign investments that way.
The whole stupid AAA ratings regime is a government regulatory scheme-- only a handful of ratings agencies (they've opened it up a little since the crisis) were permitted by the government to rate bonds. Contrast that with equities, where there is no rigid "AAA" rating system and where thousands of analysts compete to provide the best research on stocks.

Over-regulation is at the heart of the financial crisis, from the broken ratings system to the role played by Fannie and Freddie.

I still don't think it's enough though.
When the central banks pump money into economies, it has a cascading effect that influences the behavior of investors directly and indirectly.

Take a wealthy individual who is a limited partner in several VC funds. Like most wealthy individuals, he has investments across numerous asset classes. Many of those asset classes (equities, commodities, etc.) are heavily impacted by the Fed's policies. Needless to say, this individual is far more likely to feel comfortable pouring some money into a new VC fund he has been pitched when his other investments are doing well courtesy of Helicopter Ben's printing press.

Without willing investors, VC firms can't raise new funds and certainly, had there not been a massive pumping of cheap money into the global economy from the central banks, many of the massive VC funds, more than a few of which are being used to buy up shares in companies like Facebook and Zynga, would not exist.
LiveProud: Emptying Landfills of America by Turning Trash into Trendy Sportswear
The "allocation of resources" is driven by builders, investors, and home buyers, not "planners". The housing flats were built because someone thought they could sell them.

The story I've heard is that builders are selling the flats mostly to small real estate investors who are hoping to flip them or rent them out without necessarily understanding the market or the prevailing rental vancancy rate (which in any sane rental market will never get above about 6% or 7%). Think of your aunt and uncle who buy a condo for rental income and as a retirement property.

None of this is a problem until lenders start handing out free money and foolish mortgages. Or perhaps investors are choosing the least-worst investment - real estate in a flooded market might still be seen as safer than any other options that small investors in China would have.
I noticed the same high correlation of "new-agey" practices among the participants. However, it's worth considering the sort of people who would be open to participating in such a study in the first place.

The ideal study, I believe, would consistent of a statistical cross-section of a particular culture/society. It's highly unlikely that the more socially conservative elements in said culture would participate in such a study. This may, in part, explain the somewhat shared nature of the remarks by the participants.
