Imperial College Joint Maths Computing first year was Haskell, Turing, Fortran, Mathematica. And was undocumented - no books, had to turn up to the lecture and scribble.

That was 1997, I have no idea what's done there now.
I'd check it out as I listen to beats all day, but I refuse to give any site my Twitter/Facebook details.

Also, you broke the back button.
This is amazing, loving the choice/variety. Can see it becoming my new destination to discover music
I wonder what the author means by programming language "academic research".
None of the mentioned deficiencies of Go (anon lambdas/TCO) is the product of any new academic research and have been around for a very long time (see Lisp).

Most PL academic research goes into Haskell/ML , and we know how useful they really are. (Monads/Type inferencing , anyone?)

A lot of the (paying) dieting sites offer similar functionality. Because of the way the dieting industry works (sign up in January, drop out 2 months later), the focus is usually not on improving the UX but on improving signups, so I don't think any of them are very good.
I instinctively distrust code that works first time. I advocate error-driven development.

You're probably just playing the devil's advocate, but it's plainly obvious that the guy was just being rude. If he was actually interested in an "I can see so many reasons you'd make this" kind of way he wouldn't have been so curt.
Really? I'm normally as paranoid as the next guy, but this only requests read access. Stuff that anyone can find out about you any way if you already have a (public) Twitter account.

The frontpage is rather mysterious, though, I agree.
Wait, is there supposed to be such a separation? Python's standard library is half the reason people use Python. Do I consider the MatLab matrix multiplication routine the library or the language? Because the abstract syntax and semantics of MatLab could certainly do without it. What about ODE solving? I wouldn't use MatLab without it. Is Lisp's (defun) library or language? In my own pylisp, I put (def) in the standard library. But you'll see little code that doesn't use it.

What about Haskell? Is Prelude library or language? Every Haskell file has it preloaded, so you can't code without it (without effort, anyway); but it can certainly be implemented in Haskell itself. Is Haskell the language just typed lambda calculus with type classes and some basic syntax sugar? Is IO Haskell language or library?

What about C's varargs? Is it language or library? It seems like library, since you include a header file to use it. But it's also impossible to do variable-lenght argument lists in C without it. What about longjmp? What about sbrk? It seems like library, since different OSs do it differently, and thus it has multiple implementations, in C. But without it, you can't do heap allocated memory, which is something you can't do without it.

Separation between language and standard library? What language does do it?

I'm in Hangzhou, currently the most expensive city when it comes to housing, according to an article I read a few weeks ago. And it'll probably go further up, because there is a new bullet train and Shanghai is now only some 45 minutes away (down from about 2 hours).

We've been electronica DJs for a few years and have our own special ways of music discovery. Console.fm automates the tedium that we used to spend looking ourselves. The music all comes from the soundcloud API and is played through sound manager 2.

Other little know facts about time:

The first day of the week can be sunday or monday depending on where you are.

The way to count the weeks isn't the same everywhere.

Some advice:

Default to using ISO 8601 whenever possible http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601

Don't ask for more precision then you actually need (Don't ask date & time when you only need year & week)

Don't store dates and times with more precision then was actually entered (e.g. Don't ask for year & week, and then store the (calculated) first day of the week.

On my first large project I made the mistake of asking for the year & week while storing the calculated first day of the week, however using the wrong first day of the week and the wrong numbering of weeks…

Another problem with the demo is that it's hard to find. This sounds dumb, because there's a big star-flash thing saying "Look at the demo here" - but I tend to ignore star-flash graphics as marketing fluff, and it appears to be the only link to the demo.

Then, when I got to the demo, it loaded slowly because the images on the page were large. It was difficult to understand immediately just what I was seeing. After a while, I managed to get a mindset that could interpret what I was seeing and I ended up loving the technical flair - but as a customer, not a Hacker News post-mortem fan, I think I would long since have been lost.

Probably, instead of a demo, a cartoon of some sort would have presented the idea better, like (1) snap a picture of your essay with your camera, (2) upload it with our easy interface, (3) see comments by our staff of starving PhDs, standing by. Something fun and non-threatening. That could sell.

There's a great deal of techie myopia in this site, and I speak from a similarly myopic standpoint. All credit to you, Tim: the actual site is really quite nice from a technical standpoint, and it really can't be seen as wasted effort, because this is definitely going to be a point in your favor with any venture you do later.

Seems that way. I'd say run with it.
People are still getting their head around this. We did Kongoroo (and other are working in this space too, for the same reason) specifically because tablet devices will cause the same sort of leap that blackboards created 200 years ago.

Very exciting. Kids today, but much more tomorrow, will have a giant head start simply because the barrier to using a connected computer in the most natural way is being removed.

Running outside doesn't produce something of value, so I guess you are shifting your position.

Running gives you better health, so if you value your health then running, even on treadmill, already gives you something of values.
In my experience I have found that explicitly passing your dependencies around through constructors or method arguments leads to more robust abstractions. Defining an object as a Singleton from the get-go can lead to its overuse.

If you have to pay the cost of adding a parameter to a method or a constructor you really evaluate whether you need that object in that method in the first place. This doesn't stop you from enforcing a single instance.
There are factors other than economics involved, such as aesthetics and appreciation of quality.

Should people not care about (random example) the Grand Canyon because they have no "skin in the game" other than the tiny percentage of their tax money that goes to fund the operation of the park? A less-lofty example would be to argue that people shouldn't have a preference between a first-rate restaurant and Burger King, simply because a meal at the restaurant (though expensive) doesn't represent a significant portion of their annual income.

Such efforts may not 'succeed' on the whole.

However there is great benefit to this young language when a popular utility can be implemented to highlight the weakness of a particular runtime implementation, or even the underlying language.

Git/Hg clients touch network io, file io, and rudimentary hashing in the normal execution path. So it makes for a good subject.

BeeHopPing : Realtime Web Analytics
Hello all,

I have released my first Node.JS app: BeeHopPing

http://www.beehopping.com

Excited!

It does not use beacons(1x1 pixel image used by most analytics based services) but relies on Websockets(COMET as a fallback for older browsers) to track visitor activity. I'll be rolling out a Private Beta soon :) Please do sign up for an invite if you like the demo. The demo by itself is limited in features. But I'll be releasing all the remaining features(once out of testing phase) in the Private Beta itself.

Feedback appreciated!

P.S: The demo is tracking the test page:

Sorry for not being creative enough with the test page! Wanted something out soon!

You're right, I can see how that could happen. If she paid the money under those circumstances, she might have tried calling the cops; the prospect of the locksmith's being prosecuted for robbery, or maybe extortion or fraud, might have gotten her her money back.

i precociously submitted the entry while still writing the text, sooryy. Will update it in 30m. Bare with me, stay tuned ....
The problem is not culture, the problem is criminality. When banks sold MBS and CDOs with AAA ratings claiming they were solid investments which they knew were not and in some cases they were shorting them, that was fraud. When rating agencies, governments, central banks and regulatory authorities helped them, that was conspiracy to defraud. When LEOs looked the other way that was conspiracy too. The whole system is rotten, there can be no reset without removing all these criminals from our societies, unfortunately historically this only happens when the victims of the crimes become angry enough to remove the criminals from power by force of arms or the system collapses in on itself like the USSR, neither of which is a good solution.

Yeah, that is pretty obvious. No one would bother saying that 55% of the space is taken by 45% of the email though. It is mentioned because of high difference between the two values.
When I lived in London, I cycled everywhere; the number of pedestrians who would blindly walk out in front of me was astounding. From my experience - and my bike certainly wasn't silent - electric cars without engine noises would be lethal.

That's basically synonymous to generic test driven development, unless you have some magical way of finding errors in code without running some sort of test on it? (Which includes tests like static analysis, valgrind, etc.)

The author's common mistakes scare me for being common. Not that I consider myself a great coder, but come on...

On a personal note, code I write in C++ (especially C++, which I've done a lot of at school) and frequently code I write in Java (which I do a lot of in my day-job) rarely 'works' the first time (though 'work' in this sense is more 'compiles'; runtime is usually pretty good except in C++ with its segfaults that require whipping out gdb and hoping it's not a template error). On the other hand, if I'm using a language I more naturally think in like Python, it's rare that stuff doesn't Just Work at runtime. And when it doesn't work, it's usually because of something I hadn't thought of in the design (and wouldn't even be in any hypothetical pseudo-code written beforehand), and easy to fix. Ahh Python...
Yeah well what I'm interested in is: what are we believing in right now that will sound just as ridiculous five years from now on?
Add in a few more subdomains to cover the other Google apps (docs and mail are the most important ones to me) and I'll probably switch over to your plugin instead (I mean who needs configuration options?). Also be sure to add 'all_frames' to 'content_scripts' or it won't work in Gmail.
Ok! I did not know that the links won't show up in the topic.

Ask HN: Why don't the current startups looks like Google's 1999 video?
I was watching Google's Friday meeting video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u68QWfHOYhY&feature=player_embedded

Just wondering why do the current startups don't look like in the above video where everyone - young, old, men, women, babies, dogs etc all working together? The current startups all look the same with all men in their early 20s. Sometimes maybe there is one woman doing office work.

What have changed now than 10 years ago? Why don't we see more diverse people at startups these days?

I think Google+ biggest bet right now is to spot, or introduce, the way people will live the web tomorrow. Changing it from Search to Discover.

And no, it can't relay completely on our friend's interests (à la Facebook) cause they're their interests not ours.

We'll probably stick much and much more to our beloved communities (topics, not friends) and start every web-related activity from there.
That's something Google can't let Facebook win on.
I too am doing research work using the google maps api (and their very good Google Distance API) and find there to be no real advantage in this one, or any feature that I don't see in the Google API, the maps api has been wonderful to work with.

My Nokia 5800, set to silent mode, does not make any sound, it just flashes. Just tried it indoors.
And the reason they want social Open is to commoditize it. (Same strategy as Android.) Everything a commodity except for search is the perfect world for Google.
My favourite example of this is my iPod nano: it has a built-in speaker only to make a clicking sound when I use the (non-mechanical) clickwheel to browse through menus. The speaker is used for nothing else. If I have my earbuds in I can't even hear it. It only exists to say "click" whenever I scroll up or down a menu.

Logically, there is no reason to include such a useless feature into an MP3 player. But apparently the perfectionists at Apple's design department felt the clicking sound of the mechanical wheel on the old iPods was an essential part of the user experience. And that's the difference between Apple and the manufacturers of cheaper clones.
Measuring Google+ user base: less than 10 millions
1) Let's find a relatively rare name (otherwise we have to do much more clicking). For example, "Molly Fisher".

2) Search it on Google+: 4 results, but one of them has not accepted invitation yet, so it's 3 actually.

3) Let's make the same search on Facebook. They do not show user count, but let you click "See More Results". Click it why there are more results (21 times). That gives approximetely 215 results.

4) See Facebook claimed user base on Wikipedia - 750 millions.

5) 750 / 215 * 3 ~= 10 millions.

P.S. Other search suggests about 7.5 millions on Google+

One might even say, it was a statement whose goal was to win an argument, and not to uncover underlying truth? ;P
When I was a freshmen at Cornell (2002) there were two possible intro classes:

CS 101M was half java and half matlab

CS 101J was mostly java with a week or two of matlab (recommended for CS majors)

After this class (or the AP test) our next two classes to qualify for the major were in Java and SMLNJ.

Interestingly, our algorithms class (considered upper level but required) was purely theoretical (no programming at all).
this seems overly complicated and does not add any value to the idea.
Also note that "every XX hours" requires cronjobs or other ways which add another layer of complications and even possible server overload.
All can be done of course, but it needs to be worth it.
Maybe I am missing the point?
Surely if that bit of history says anything then this will be successful?

Not sure. Lots of people reimplemented lots of stuff for Java, but it turns out Java was only successful in the sweet spot for it (networked server side language); it never replaced C/C++ in any meaningful way.

I expect the same with JavaScript, it will flourish in its niche (in particular as it has a monopoly as the in-browser-language), but it won't replace established languages on their respective home turf.

I develop software. I did this for 10 years in Australia before moving here and because of this have relationships with Australian companies that would allow me to do contracting work remotely for good money if that is what I wanted (however at the moment I'm working on personal projects, currently backrecord.com). You are right - GNI per person in Australia is ~$42k (assume it is similar for USA). GNI per person here is $650. So you live like a king.

Internet is reliable and fast enough (I use a 3G connection and this is very cheap). There are many telcos so lots of competition.

Weather is hot and at the moment wet. I love the weather.

btw: I don't think you'd ever get away with pretending to be located in America.

Yep, no doubt about that. My niece had no problem turning on and playing her favorite games on the iPhone all by herself, when she was just 1.8 years old. Naturally, the larger real-estate of the iPad would be more awesome for learning and playing.

I'm not declaring it a bad idea. I'm pointing out how this idea is similar to a previously posted concept that other HN'rs thought was interesting.
