While this definitely does make things more concise, does it make things clearer? I've never had to deal with overly complex hierarchies like that in JS, so I'm not sure.

"Protip
Keep ~/.js under version control and share it with the world."

This could result in a really cool network graph on github, couldn't it?

Also, when defunkt says protip, take it.
The creators countered by saying those reviewers were testing on uncalibrated phones. The app normalizes the movements so even if it detects only very small movements it will still render a graph with full range of movement.

I don't know if this is true but I saw in their changelog http://mdlabs.se/sleepcycle/changelog-v3.0.html that they "removed "dreaming" from graph legend we've done a lot of research around this with help from sleep scientists and determined that Sleep Cycle cannot reliably detect when you are in REM sleep".

That makes me think they're legit. Their test function is also pretty convincing. It detects large and small movements quite accurately.

A unified bar at the top could be absolutely amazing for people that use a lot of google products. My biggest beef with google right now is that even with a unified login, there doesn't seem to be any sort of common interaction between the various google components that I use.

Also, you don't like google instant? I thought that was one of the best features they've implemented in any of their products since... well, for a really long time.

It's interesting how perspectives differ on what is considered noise. On the average day I start my browsing here around link 15, or even the new queue.

You're pretty much guaranteed to hear of anything hitting the front page anyway if it was meaningful to begin with. If not, it's probably some momentary obsession or buzzword bingo (say, "Google", "Social", "Facebook killer", "Privacy", "Product launch" to take an ephemeral example :))
Ah, this makes sense. If you've got energy and you want to turn it into thrust without losing too much mass then using it to fire alpha particles off at damn near the speed of light is a great way to do it.

The fighters would have to fight at a "catch weight" of 800 pages, given Stephenson is unlikely to be able to cut much below 1000 pages and it's unfair to expect Gibson to bulk up to more than about 650-700 pages.

My prediction is that Stephenson would win by smothering Gibson with every vaguely interesting thing that he's read in the past decade or so. But Gibson always has a puncher's chance and might manage to get a surprise KO with a unspeakably hip reference to some very exclusive limited-edition consumer goods from Japan.

Ask HN: Why has visual programming not caught on?
It seems like the concept of visual based programming (think visual basic, or drag/drop components that make code...) keeps on reappearing, do other hacker news visitors ever think it will truly succeed? It always seems to be limited imho, but the idea never seems to die, wondering what others think...

Actually this is the first sign I've seen that Google has actually learned some lessons from their failures.

First, this seems much more carefully thought out. The promotional material is beautiful, simple, well targeted and clear. Restraining from a full public launch shows they have learned from Buzz which failed in part because they got things wrong early and didn't correct fast enough. This shows a much needed loss of arrogance.

One other thing that makes it different: 500k Android activations per day. It will be very interesting to see if this gets pushed out as a default installed app to Android devices. Google never leveraged Android well to promote Buzz and I never understood why. Hopefully they won't be so shy this time around.
Thanks for the suggestion. I've been working on a project that does dozens of writes per second and on my local machine I used redis. The costs of running redis for this on EC2 is prohibitive. The costs at Linode for even a 1gb vps is quite reasonable and scaling that up to larger sizes isn't that much more.
>Even the most successful people failed a ton before they got big success.

That's just survivorship bias[1]. Yes, the big successes failed a lot. But so did the big failures. When all you see are Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc., its easy to ignore all the little companies that failed and bankrupted all who were involved. For an example of the downside, see this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOOw2yWMSfk. Can you really, honestly say that Mark Griffin hasn't ruined his life?

You ask about the founders of Color. The cannot be failures. Why not? They've already succeeded at least once. The entire reason Color is as hyped as it is right now is because of its "supergroup" status. The only thing distinguishing it is the fact that it was designed and built by programmers and designers that were extremely successfull at other companies. Without that cachet, its simply just another photo-sharing app.

>If you always give up right when you feel things are bleakest -> You'll never go bankrupt or to be more precise never experience total failure.

>At the same time - you'll never experience the best possible success you could have. Because if everything is easy and guaranteed that probably means you never did the maximum you could and never pushed yourself.

That's true. But, before you go all-in, you should ask yourself, "Can I afford this?" Yes, its easy to say yes if you're a 25 year-old with no family, no mortgage, and no debt. But, if you're a 40 year-old with obligations? Do you really want to put your dependents through the stress and hardship of a default? Before you attempt to beat the odds, make sure you can survive the odds beating you [2].

It already has succeeded in one very limited area: GUI component layout. People use XCode/Netbeans Matisse/DreamWeaver all the time to build their UIs.

It fails in other areas because code is remarkably info-dense, and if you split that out into individual components, it takes a huge amount of screen space and visual manipulation for even simple subroutines. I encourage you to take a simple function and draw out the parse tree for it. It's surprisingly large, with lots of different node types all strung together in unusual ways. Think about how much people complain about the parentheses in Lisp; now imagine that each set of parentheses is a box on screen.

Another game with moderately easy puzzles that might appeal to the HN demographic is Dan Schmidt - For A Change.

Man, I am serious now, there is one place in my life where electronic devices are not allowed (including TV, alarm clocks etc.) and it is my bedroom.

Taking your "SmartPhone" to bed, in order to improve your sleep seems ridiculous to me by all means.

If you want to improve your sleep and get up in the optimal hour, do the following:

* Disconnect yourself from those devices (phone, pads, laptops, tv, etc.) two hours before you go to bed.
* Take a warm shower or bath
* Go to bed at a fixed time every evening, and get up naturally.
* Read a nice book for 20/30/40 minutes (whatever suites you).
* Close your eyes then and meditate until you fall asleep.

You will see how within few days, you are getting up naturally at the same hour, feel better and energetic all day, etc. etc.
This is great. The circle groups and the group chat is awesome. But I'm wondering how many groups you'd be able to create (would there be a limit?) and how the center stage of group chat works? It said in demo that the person talking or the loudest would be center but what if 3+ people hit the same volume level, or if like tinychat, there are multiple people talking? Would love to get a reply from someone in Google+ beta.
Agreed, for GUI component areas it seems it has been pretty successful (I'm assuming anything complex in a GUI would also not be manageable though?). Just from some limited experience it seems a lot of "enterprise" products try to go this route. It seems like the amount of time to program the same logic, vs the complexity in the GUI would actually not be worth the benefit. But I guess the initial 5 minute demo that is shown makes it look really shiny, until u start adding complexity, and then it falls apart.

Accel, Khosla & Andreessen Horowitz Pour Another $30MM Into RockMelt
Me: generally fit, bicycled from Canada to Mexico last fall, climbed for years, weight trained off and on for more years, did a lot of yoga from 2005 - 2008. Right now, I go to a gym every other day, (almost) no matter what.

I'm currently focusing on muscle. I've reduced my workout to simply doing squats, bench presses, and pull-ups. I've gained 20 pounds in six months. This is way better than any previous cycle, when I had much more intricate, varied workouts.

Here's the thing, though: the absolute fittest and most prepared for anything I've ever felt was when I was doing yoga 3 - 5 times per week.

Yoga? Yeah, yoga. The first month is absolute hell. After that, it got better. Over a few years I bumped up more and more until I was going five times per week. I was more prepared for random climbing, hiking, and cycling adventures from that than when focusing on any of my other activities. Of course, a lot of it had to do with finding teachers who consistently taught difficult classes.

Additionally, if you're stressed, the whole yoga 'mindfulness' thing really works. I'm not spiritual at all, but it really had a terrific calming effect on me, and was invaluable when I was having a stressful week at work.

> The definition of "communism" is defined as "Communism is a sociopolitical movement that aims for a classless and stateless society structured upon common ownership of the means of production, free access to articles of consumption, and the end of wage labour and private property in the means of production and real estate"

You're confusing theory with reality.

Since we're starting with the assumption that China was communist in the past, that definition is problematic because it tells us that China was never communist.

I assumed that you wanted to use a definition of communism that both Mao-era China and the USSR satisfied at some time. Was I wrong?
Your "evolutionary vs revolutionary" insight is key. Google's most successful products are all evolutionary: search, mail and maps. If Google+ substantially improves the social networking experience then Facebook might have some serious competition. Just like Hotmail had some serious competition from Gmail.

I don't think I could go to a gym and exercise just for the sake of exercising and I'm guessing a lot of internally-motivated startup guys/gals are the same way, so I encourage you to pick up some sort of exercise that is also FUN.

I wake up at 5:00 am on Tuesdays and Fridays and go bouldering at Planet Granite (In Belmont, I'm currently located in Palo Alto (well, for a short time anyways))

For rock climbing/bouldering you need a fair bit of effort and it is also a very enjoyable exercise (it's kind of like playing).

This also fits nicely into the rest of my schedule.

Highly recommended

Would a blue bar across the top have been too similar to the chrome used in Windows (since windows 95 it's been a light blue bar across the top, XP 'Luna' had a darker blue bar)?

I'll provide some details with regards to one of my sites which, I built really quickly & let it grow naturally (The site has had no promotion, it contains spelling mistakes etc & I have done nothing with it although, I am planning to fix it etc shortly as traffic and revenue is constantly growing on it)

I'd class the site as an Entertainment type site.

These are all time stats for the site in terms of browser usage:

Firefox: 38.83%
Internet Explorer: 38.72%
Google Chrome: 9.89%
Safari: 9.29%
Opera: 1.77%

There is also mobile traffic to the site despite, not having a mobile version etc - For instance this month Android is at 1.9% (5th most popular browser). Likewise, Chrome has also increased in percentage recently and is now around 23% with Firefox and IE falling to 30% and 28% respectively.

Just an aside: I'm having fun imagining a single-click "move from Facebook to Google+" link going viral. I don't know if it's technically possible. But consider the people who browse while signed into Facebook. Add the ability to export your Facebook data (not 100% sure this is possible). Doesn't seem too far-fetched that Google could cobble something together. Also when I click and move everything over perhaps my friends would be informed/spammed about the move with the option to move themselves. It's "Facebook-magedon"!!
I'm actually most concerned about the lifetime of the batteries. From what I've read, the batteries top out at 8 years, and presumably degrade before that. As the $20k Chevy Cruze is the same chassis as the Volt, I guess the batteries come out at ~$15k. That's a huge amount of money to renew use of your $40k car after 8 years (unless you see that $15k as some sort of investment in the environment).

The Volt design could/should succeed. But not with battery tech where it is. Those batteries need to do 10--12 years.

I've never understood this argument. I mean, yes, I get that all you're doing is moving the energy production somewhere else; but isn't that a GOOD thing?

My response to the "you're just moving" argument is that you're doing more than moving it, you're CENTRALIZING it. It's much easier to replace one coal plant with a nuclear plant or a wind farm (or 10) than it is to replace the thousands of cars that plant powers.

Am I totally wrong here?
