Cool site. This is great for learning a few meals and techniques, as well as building confidence. If you build a sequential set of recipes to follow, you can do something like the below:

The important part of learning cooking is to know how each dish is similar and the definition that makes a dish different. You don't learn each dish, you learn the dependencies. Once you can do this, anything you taste in a restaurant can be successfully recreated in the home, equipment dependent.

For learning cooking, I always recommend watching the old Julia Child shows and actually cooking the food. The thing missing is an easy to hard sequence and learning a few extra sauces.

I have forkforkspoon.com parked to be used in a future food idea. I should have done something like this, since I am an engineer and a 'chef', but I feel like I am waiting for something too perfect....someday never comes.
The set of people willing to pay for a paper and the set of people wanting to have _their_ paper reviewed are probably (hopefully?) disjoint.

As such I'm not sure it is too useful to compare the prices.
Try to figure out if it already exists or if there are open source softwares I can use to get there faster.
To some extent, case by case.

I definitely agree with what you're saying at the beginning, but I'm not so sure about the end.

I think there is some value in putting humans in space. It certainly seems many scientific discoveries are made by a scientist observing or experiencing something, noticing that it is strange, then investigating. A perfect example of this is the development of microwaves, which came about because an engineer working on radar noticed that a candy bar started to melt when near the radar. Robots are certainly superior by almost every metric once you know what you're looking for, but I wouldn't be so sure that we actually know what we are looking for. Boots on the ground, so to speak, can offer insights that a robot simply cannot.
I usually forget it for a few days. I have a lot of ideas that seem really great when I first think of them, but after a few days thinking about something else I realize that the original idea was stupid and think of something else! If I have an idea that still seems worthwhile after a week, then I know I might be on to something.
Yale (not considered a top CS school, I know) still uses scheme for its introductory classes. With both Berkeley and MIT switching away, I wonder if Yale's one of the last holdouts.

I'm not sure I agree with you that language is irrelevant to material. I definitely notice the influence of scheme on my thought-processes when programming.

While it is true that all JavaScript numbers appear to be floats, there's nothing stopping them from being optimized by the JIT compiler into 32-bit integers if possible.
Why isnt unfollowing an option?

Unlike the author of the article I do find twitter a good conversational medium. I dont follow firehose people as it is not conversational. I havent quite worked out how/if i will use plus long term.
As explained in other branches of this discussion thread, this hypothesis has also been tested and confirmed: kids of different countries are distributed on dramatically different bell curves, much further separated than kids of different ethnicities in the same country. Probably the twin studies you're describing didn't find much of an environmental effect because the environments they were looking at were actually very similar, in part because only extremely bad families have a major environmental effect.
oh well, maybe indeed I assumed more about general knowledge of new database technologies around.

voltdb (Stonebraker's solution) is in-memory store, so are few other of all this new wave of solutions (e.g. you don't want active mongo dataset to fall out of memory, as well as hit any contention on r/w lock).

I didn't want to attack statistics or numbers in any way, as to have proper picture it is not enough to know number of servers or shards, one has to know also workload that has to happen there, as well as access distributions, etc.

I could point out that average write transaction at FB is at around 5ms timing, so argument about transactional cost is not that important, as RPC times add up to that quite a bit, and multi-cluster dbms wouldn't reduce the RPC costs.

Pretty much everything he wrote about state of FB environment is very uneducated narrative.

Oh well, I guess general audience prefers something that has no basis rather to insights that are based on working today in that industry.
That's actually a pretty good idea...
Obviously, I mean in the restricted area of "term used to describe a software product or service", and "under the law" you don't need to successfully register a trademark for that (although trying and actively failing to register the mark will make your life very difficult in court); also, I feel like you are putting too much emphasis on the word "own" here as if I was going for some technical definition, as opposed to "when people think of that word, they immediately associate with Apple's App Store" (which really is all that trademarks really come down to: whether there would be viable confusion in the market if other people co-opted the name).

The Amazon judgment only denied the preliminary injunction, it didn't resolve the ownership of the trademark (if any). The case is still on-going and Apple may introduce additional evidence as the case continues.

I think what you've done by adding slaves to the mix is reduce the value of human labor relative to other assets, making the holders of resources like land, water, oil, etc stronger.

For instance you still need food and how much food can be grown is limited by the land it can be grown on. However if you want to get a job picking oranges you can now only earn what it would cost to operate a robot to do the same task. So your income drops and farmer is more powerful.

Consider that in the US it was not the norm for women to work outside the home until the '80's and the wealth of families has not increased as a result of most households now having two working adults. As a matter of fact it's gone down.
Lest your comment cause any confusion, it should be made clear that the court denied their request for a /preliminary/ injunction (which seems to be very common, but you request it anyway); but, as far as I understand the situation, the judge agreed to hear the case and, after all arguments are weighed, Amazon could still well lose.

The idea is that the case does not seem obvious enough and important enough to stop Amazon from using the term /before/ Apple wins the lawsuit (which is what would make this a "preliminary" injunction), but the judge actually went ahead and claimed that Apple seemed to have at least some merit to their argument.
I think its somewhat naive to think that it won't be hard to surpass the JVM. The JVM is a highly tuned piece of software especially when it comes to GC i think it will probably take Go a while to surpass the JVM with respect to that, similarly for compilation though it is a little apples to oranges due to the JIT.

Well if Google+ becomes just another platform for stupid apps it will fail, at least with me and my circle of friends. I'm not a huge fan of 'social' media. I don't really use twitter and was dragged into FB by my friends.

But so far I actually do like Google+, it makes it easy to organize my different circles of friends and very easy to tell who can see what. I even went so far as to fill out the profile, something I have left blank on Facebook.

But apps will kill it for me if they are able to spam me (or my circles) with posts.
I like the partner idea. My only real gripe with hackathons is the transience. I don't like the "here work effectively for just one day, and then back to your silo" feeling of a transient event.

Your reviews and suggestions :)
So why can't you guys just call it "Download Center" or something like that? What are you gaining by fighting a company with that much cash, other than free publicity (which might turn out to be not free at all if they decide to come after you, even if they lose in the end)? Is this really a battle worth picking? I'd urge you to think this through with a cool head and try to apply some common sense.

An old friend of mine always says that before starting a new project, he has to get really bored. That is, he has to make sure he spends a period of time doing nothing interesting. That way, when he starts the project he has nothing else on his mind distracting him.

I can't say I've ever done this myself, but actually, now that I think about it, maybe I should. I tend to keep too many balls in the air to focus well on one thing.
that's cool! what do you use for your database?
Are you saying that you won't move forward with any development - not even a prototype - until you have paying customers? And what does it mean to have a "secured and signed" order? Does it mean that they're about to cut you a first check as an advance on purchasing / subscribing to the product?

Have you always practiced this, or did it take some realization?

Thanks,

Ask HN: How many of you would like a Google code crawler?
I like to stay updated with what is happening in the webtoolkit & appengine communities and I sometimes browse code.google.com project hosting to see if there are any interesting projects.

It turns out there are many that are interesting and offer a) some immediate use in my current projects or b) a learning opportunity to see how something has been implemented.

The problem is that the search on code.google.com sucks and there is no way to filter by date / activity / lastUpdatedDate etc.

So, the only way you are going to discover new projects is by clicking through every single page until you find something interesting and very few have time for that.

I am thinking it might be an interesting project to write a crawler that would periodically crawl the site and publish notifications about new projects to subscribers who can opt-in to notifications about a particular label (gwt/jquery/appengine etc.).

Would you find this useful? Are there other ways of doing this today?

I wonder if a solution similar to what Reddit does to subreddits might make sense. The likelihood of a link showing up on your front page is not just a function of votes, but also how many votes the average story from that subreddit gets (ie, In a popular subreddit? More votes needed to frontpage it. In r/highlySpecificHobby? Fewer votes needed)

Similarly, G+ could normalize how often it pushes up posts as a function of how much activity the average post from that person receives.
I can see a whole line of bean and nose t-shirts:

"It's simply a beans-and-noses situation"
"Are you enjoying your nasal-based legume implantation experience?"
"And so the bean starts its wayward journey"

PS.

Brilliant article - what a great way of putting things.
Yes, shipping costs are the major cost here. Costs are what I will cover in a future cliffhanger post. And to be more clear about my goals, I am not expecting this to be big business, I absolutely agree with that. However if I could get this to cover our rent, that would be great.
English needs a new one, one that means "a word spelled correctly enough to pass spell checkers, but incorrect semantically".

The author of the article mentions the "assent of Islamic fundamentalism". I think he means "ascent", but who can really really tell?

I talk. I talk to everyone I know. I ask very non-technical people how they'd approach the technical challenges (if this project has a technical aspect). I ask very technical people how they'd approach the creative/artistic challenges (same comment). I buy a sketchbook and fill it with doodles and diagrams and notes and random, scatterbrained ideas. And I never look at it again. I'll read up on material related to the subject. I'll read up on material unrelated to the subject, and figure out how it could apply (the works of Joyce are great for this). I'll meditate (with or without aids). Sometimes — and I'm not joking about this — I'll pick some completely arbitrary activity and assign it ritualistic significance, with pertinence to the project I'm about to begin. (Once, prior to recording a song, I showered myself with a carton of orange juice while hopping to and fro on alternating legs, ululating wildly — it was significant, by assignment.)

Why all the nonsense? In some sense, it helps clear my mind of other projects. It helps me build up energy and excitement in anticipation of this new project.

It reminds me that I'm still alive, and that there are many things I could be doing in my life. While I may be a conduit or wellspring from which projects spring forth, there's no reason I have to be, except for the amount of love I feel for the work that I do.
knowem.com is pretty great too.

As mentioned many times in that thread, iOS sandboxing won't let you mark pages as executable. So for right now the answer is "no" if you want your app to run on non-jailbroken devices.
How does it compare to Weblocks?
You're right, I misread that. At that point, why not just go to the professor or TA during office hours? Maybe other Universities work differently, but each class had office hours where I went to school, and most students didn't take advantage of that. And who writes out example exam questions anyway?

So yes, I stand corrected, Customer development would have uncovered those problems.
Interoperability with all the rich Java frameworks seems a win.

I dislike this article because of its fatalistic tone. The opinions of the average guy on the street haven't changed. They still want a society where people get paid decently for working, where there is a social safety net, where anyone can go to the doctor without going bankrupt. NONE of these opinions have changed in the American people. Nor has the work dynamic fundamentally changed. America still produces tons of shit.

But the opinions of the American leadership elite have changed. A dysfunctional one-party system is the problem, and the result is a consensus view - among the Washington elite only - that the rich need to get richer and everyone else needs to get poorer. It doesn't have to be this way. But change isn't going to come from inside the Beltway.

This can change, and will, eventually. The question is how far will Americans let these crooks go before demanding something better.
This person is assuming that people want his advice, or to tell them why they're wrong.

Very often people are intent on doing something that seems stupid to you, but smart to them. In that situation they really don't want to be told that they are wrong and the best thing you can do is stand nearby, ready to dial 911.

Sometimes the only "right" response is "I would not have thought of doing it that way. What can I do to help you make it go well?"
A staticly typed language compiled to native code surpassing the JVM? That's not naive, that is commonplace...

GC is the only sticky factor here.
I've been hacking together a site using Hunchentoot, Postmodern + PostgreSQL, CL-WHO for HTML generation, and CL-JSON + Backbone.js for client interaction. I'm probably duplicating a lot of functionality that would already be done with Rails or Django but I'm having a lot of fun doing it this way :)
Of course, if they answer they enjoyed it and it was wonderful, then they are not someone I can relate to or help in any way.

Or, of course, you might be about to learn something, since sticking beans up your nose is a metaphor you chose for something you think is so stupid you would never actually try it.
Well, some language communities consider it to be a point of pride to be self-hosting (e.g. Java) but for others (e.g. Python) it's not a big deal.
Unfollowing isn't an option because I'd still like to get the occasional post from Person X - just not as frequently as I'd like to see posts from Person Y.

I'm not talking about "firehose people" - my point is, it would be great if I could see (posts from Y) > (posts from X) > (posts from Scoble), even if they're all in the same Circle. Currently, everyone inside a Circle is given the same weight.
I assume from the downvoting that this isn't a very popular approach.

Gerald Weinberg's Secrets of Consulting is a masterful (yet whimsical) meditation on this subject. It's one of the few business books everybody should read, except it isn't really a business book, it's a people book. Much of the material is counterintuitive. It's kind of like Dale Carnegie for human irrationality.

The book begins with the premise that just because someone is paying you for advice doesn't mean they actually want your advice. It goes on to argue that successful consulting is not about fixing problems so much as navigating contradictions.

The other profession that deals intimately with contradictions between what people say, feel, and do is psychotherapy. I've often thought that consulting is therapy for businesses - a curious kind of therapy that by consensus is never explicitly discussed. Weinberg learned a lot from his excursions in the psychotherapy world, and this book is his best distillation of it.
This is pretty easily solved with my current setup. I have a "Following" circle filled with prominent developers or tech celebs whose posts I find interesting. There are a few with the firehose problem, where either they post constantly or have way too many people commenting on their posts. When browsing G+, I typically just hang-out in my Friends, Family, or Acquaintances streams. If I comment on a firehose post and don't want to see notifications about it anymore, I just mute the post.

I could definitely see the advantage in them adding the ability to mute a circle from the master stream.
Well, but it wasn't B2B. He had asked his own school for that relationship so they could market it for him locally - but the service itself is decentralized and in no way depended on that relationship. (It was probably a mistake to wait for them, but hindsight's always 20/20, particularly from the sidelines.)
Yeah, really, even conceding the inventory rebuild/weak dollar rally in that chart. I don't think that the aggregate numbers produced by the Fed are always useful when looking at the economy: the composition of the aggregates is usually so diverse as to render the aggregate meaningless. GDP is a canonical example.

The U.S. retains industrial capacity in high end and military areas, but that isn't going to help average people produce items that are valuable to one another and to people in other places, which is the core way to build wealth. We've masked this fact with debt for the last 30 years, and now it appears that that game is over.
Good memories of my buddy David, who, at some young age, inserted a dry pinto bean into one of his nostrils and left it dangling there. All of us began to laugh, of course, along with David. But after all good, long, strong laughs, you have to refill the lungs at some point. "Ha-ha-ha! sniff"

EDIT: To respond to the issue of the arguable merits of my post — I made my post because the majority of comments here are describing preparatory activities performed on one's computer. I wanted to give some of my non-computer related warmups, since they can also apply to projects that aren't necessarily software-oriented.
The most elegant proponent of this idea is Douglas Rushkoff, his latest book being "Program or Be Programmed."
