That's a bit of an exaggeration, though the point, once deciphered, is correct:

Plugging into the right communities is essential.
This is very good! I hope it'll be continually supported with new, complex MapReduces as you think of them.
It's a market for lemons: some lead-gen sites will last a while, and some will get burned by Google or the FTC. If you're a buyer, you know that those are possibilities, so you bid less than what you'd bid assuming that the site would last forever. Now sellers know that if they sell a good site, it'll be undervalued, so they have a natural tendency to sell the bad sites.

The original "market for lemons" paper valued a lemon at half the cost of the good version. When your lemons are worth zero, or have a negative valuation, there may be no market at all.
I am a photographer and I know I'd hate this feature. It makes street photography a lot more difficult.

I assume by sexual misconduct you mean someone taking pictures in the bedroom (as opposed to photographing women at the beach, which is public space - unless specifically prohibited). I feel that is too specific a protection to make the lives of legit photographers difficult. Instead, more severe punishments could be implemented to protect men and women whose sex videos are filmed without consent.
I'm a little disappointed that he mentioned a tool he built on top of Fabric but then didn't even mention Fabric until the final item.
Can you elaborate on how popping arguments penalizes every call? It seems like, for non-variadic calls at least, it should take the same amount of time to add a constant to %esp whether you're doing it in the RET instruction or in the caller; but factoring that code into the callee should improve code density and therefore icache hit rates. What am I missing?
Would be interesting to think about the practical uses of this. C-SPAN videos Congress/senate hearings? Court cases? Could be pretty important long-term.
I would like to grow myself a new body from my own stem cells without a brain, and transplant my brain into it. With any luck I might be able to squeak out another 100 years with only my brain decaying at the original rate.
Testing frameworks exit and rebuild the app runtime environment all the time, to isolate the effects of one test case from the next. When your singleton instantiation is paramatrized, for instance with a configuration file, than there is no testability problem whatsoever.

I would go as far as to say that if you have to do multiple "application runs" in the same "test run", where these "application runs" require different configurations to have the test cover some specific scenario, then your code has larger problems than having the configuration in a singleton.
Yeah, I suppose it was more like 30-40 people helping out...though obviously some comments are more helpful than others. Just wanted to convey how powerful the conversations are and the value of the insights I gained.
Car traffic in general significantly decreases my quality of life - and probably my life expectancy, too.
The "why" is that CentOS has brand recognition, and many who don't want to purchase an RHEL license, but want to run software that's been qualified/RPM'd for that platform, will naturally turn to CentOS.

I've been following Linux Distros for 10 Years, Have built my own LFS, have a couple slicehost servers, one linode server, and a bare metal server at Server Beach - This is the first time I've heard that "Scientific Linux" could be used in place of CentOS.

Now that almost certainly means that I'm ignorant of something that those more clued than me would consider obvious, but, in terms of knowledge of Linux Distributions among your typical IT crowd, I'm probably in the 95+ Percentile - so you can imagine how many others out there haven't heard of Scientific Linux and just turn to CentOS without knowing better.
Kind of let down by this one. I get it, but the title is slightly misleading. I expected to see what happened next, only to realize that by scale, you meant getting feedback. I don't think that's the same thing.
I mainly use vim. I have pyflakes run occasionally and on save, and some commands for running unit tests.
I'm struggling to find the part where the author scales to 100 employees, or even 1 additional employee.

If you have to lie in the title to get people read your content, it's probably because the content isn't interesting to them in the first place.
> The ignorance the writer displays in the last paragraph...

It may be ignorance. It may also be intentional, glossing over the difference in order to try to weaken opposition to ESC research.

Either way, it's an unfortunate blot on an otherwise solid article covering a tremendously interesting piece of news.

You are doing risk management wrong. To launch a business without determining what a reasonable (or rather, survivale) concept of success would be, without examining your environment to give you at least an order-of-magnitude conception of your the frequency of return on investment you can expect, and determining whether your business model can survive long enough to be self-perpetuating isn't foolhardy: it's stupid.

It doesn't take rocket science skill to be realistic, and to anticipate known unknowns. You don't even need the complicated parts of excel.
Ok, maybe I should rewrite the title to be:

How we scaled our team from 3 employees to 100. In an hour. For an hour.
I think the main difference is that Centos strives to be "100% binary compatible." We write software targeted to enterprise users that are generally running Redhat. Our development and test platforms are Centos.

Scientific Linux, while compiled from Redhat sources, does not strive for binary compatibility with Redhat.
I work there. It's MaxMind.
But that's not JSONP.
From what I have seen, the Plus beta is quite different in term of handling the feedback. (e.g. community managers getting involved in discussions, etc.)

You could 'cheat' and use passive voice. "First photo of fish using tools taken (snapped??) by diver" perhaps.
Fair enough, I'll see if I can edit the title. I honestly feel as though I had the input of (tens) if not the attention and potential insight of hundreds of very relevant experiences. The point was to convey the value of engaging people in the comments of submissions and what I learned specifically. But I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it!
The "lag" you speak of actually can be thought of as a feature. For example, you don't want doing a 'yum upgrade' to upgrade PHP from 5.2 to 5.3 and break software you are running. You want your core operating system to actually be fairly stable, and not have to worry about upgrades randomly breaking things.

When it comes down to it, you really don't need the latest and greatest software on a server. Aside from security fixes, there's very little reason to upgrade software on a server just because a new version was released.
If the mobile app/site are merging that information in from your own local contact information (which I would bet is what is happening here), who cares? It is just showing you information about Alice that you already have on your phone due to previous contact syncing.

Here's what you claimed - "but when you weight by funding, compiled languages clean house".

But you don't seem to have any information at all on $$$ amounts spent on the development of compiled languages (C, C++, Fortran, ...) compared to others (Java).

Obviously you don't know what would result "when you weight by funding".
Oh, that is correct. Sorry, I need to read the headline more carefully. Missed the 'P'.
The interesting numbers will come out in 11 days (i.e. 7/21 in the am) when they report earnings. Perhaps the traffic they've retained will be perceivably more valuable to their advertisers, and the decreased server load has allowed them to cut costs? For posterity, current financials: $8.98/share, Mkt Cap $1.23B, EPS $0.66, P/E 13.61. I'm curious enough that I'll probably listen to the earnings call.

EDIT: Sunday math; and should add shares: 147.18M.
Not "incomprehensible," but that was the case for some people, but "indigestible." I feel, you are obviously free to disagree, that policy debates actively discourage mulling over evidence in favor of a firehose of "argument by authority," assertions. Like I said, there are good things about it, too.
Your technical writing is really phenomenal, you are able to communicate far more than just the hard and fast details in a really relateable way. I haven't seem many things that have adopted a voice like yours in the article, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope you keep writing.
So you signed up for community testing a product, and you don't bother to report problems? That just seems wrong to me (but I know, it's probably a rather common thing to do).

That sort of seems like modifying FOSS and not bothering to contribute back your modifications to the original product because "from experience most FOSS projects don't bother about my code". (And yes, many FOSS licenses require you to provide your code if you distribute. They don't, however, actually compel you to actually submit it to the original project.)

In my eyes, it's about common courtesy: If you sign up for testing a product, you report your findings. That said, I'm not saying you have to, I'm just saying that by providing your feedback, specially when they actively are seeking it, you might help create a better product.
I agree with your broad point that you can write a usable C library with a very minimal amount of assembly, but I am going to quibble on some of the details.

> You can write pretty much the entire standard library in C, ... varargs, setjmp/longjmp and sbrk are 100% library.

If you're saying "These four functions can be written in C" then you are mistaken. If you are saying "These four functions can be written in assembly" then you are not saying anything interesting about C, because it is true of any language that it is possible to write its library in assembly if it's possible to write it at all.

In more detail.

Whether you can write va_arg in C depends on the platform's calling convention. On most platforms you can (because the default calling convention has to support varargs, and the easiest way to do that is to push the arguments on the stack) but on x86-64 you can't.

setjmp and longjmp cannot be written in C on any platform I'm familiar with, unless you're writing them on top of something like setcontext, which has a slight superset of their functionality. They are, however, very simple to write in assembly.

You can write sbrk in one line of C, and the glibc implementation is only ten: http://koala.cs.pub.ro/lxr/glibc/misc/sbrk.c#L29
But sbrk is simply a convenience wrapper around brk, which is necessarily a system call. And C doesn't have a "system call" statement.

(Actually, you can write brk in C too if you just want to allocate out of some fixed blob of address space, which is a reasonable choice on, say, a microcontroller.)
Ah Ok. I thought they'd made that change already. Good to know.

I think what this is going to turn out to be in the end is a case of people not realizing what was already being shared via google's account profile in the contact info.
I still remember http://www.paulgraham.com/nerds.html but it's not true anymore is it? It looks like the nerds are now spending much more time on trying to be popular than anything else nowadays.

You got a post with lots of karma because it was HONEST. You didn't make a post whose primary purpose was to get you karma points, you made a post to help educate people about your experience and maybe help other people save some money. Can you say the same about this post? Why did you choose the title headline that you did? Where did the honesty go?

I hope the next time you make a post what you care about is creating an interesting discussion or providing some interesting information, not how many karma points you are going to get out of it.
Correct. People also need to realize Google+ isn't just the site you see when you go to plus.google.com. It's a Google-wide initiative that affects almost all of their properties. Truly, an improved version of Google.
Er, um...he was suggesting you learn the difference, but I think you simply did not read the article carefully enough. The statistics are not misleading, as the article properly uses the median, not the mean.
Are you saying that RHEL break PHP by upgrading from 5.2 to 5.3?

That would be very strange, RHEL's reknowned for very strict binary compatibility and backporting every security fix to whatever they shipped originally. Lagging behind RHEL updates would normally just mean you're insecure / have bugs for longer.
I think the solution is to treat those as line beginnings rather than endings: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2389715
Can't disagree with that - my first advice to any budding entrepreneur is to get connected into the startup community wherever they are (or move somewhere where there is a startup community)... the wisdom and knowledge you gain through osmosis is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars of mistakes, disasters and failures.
Noted. Still learning, but thanks-
What RSS reader do you use, and what does it lack?
I'm planning on writing an RSS reader, as a learning experience and as a way to improve my user experience.

I'm interested in knowing what do you use, and what could be improved.

If you don't use one, why not? And what do you use for aggregation of content, if anything?
But the theoretical question has been answered and a certain level of satisfaction has set in. What can be the next level of kick for my sweet-little startup? Perhaps doing something that requires another leap of faith and pushes us into the unknown.

Perhaps. Or perhaps not. The description in the article reminds me of people who are addicted to the excitement of starting new relationships but can't seem to make one work long-term because they have to move on and recapture the thrill and excitement of starting a new one again. Lots of long term relationships are dreadful and stuck in a rut, but not all of them. I have spent a lot of time pondering what makes a relationship work long-term, really work and not just stay together like they are stuck with each other and hate it. I can't say that I have figured it out. I think I have more clues than I once had. I am just tossing it out there as a possible concept for anyone who has reached this less exciting stage with a start-up and is wondering how to keep the love alive (so to speak) instead of abandoning it for some adventure. (Not that there is necessarily anything wrong with moving on. I don't mean to imply there is.)

I think for me, my hope is that doing things I find meaningful will help keep my projects alive even after they are more mature -- that it can't just be about the money or about the launch, but the work itself needs to be something I believe in.

Time will tell if I am right about myself in that regard.
I saw that but I meant a higher level http api, easy to use from javascript, like this github API sort of is. Something you could use with much less code than the git http transport. It is gret to implement the existing api but it is not an optimal api from the use case of a javascript client.
Common courtesy would have been Google responding to my numerous attempts at feedback on previous products.
I feel pretty lucky that automobile owners in the early 20th century weren't required to stop every quarter mile and shovel a load of horse manure onto the street. Honestly, that's how I feel about requiring a car to be more noisy. The only reason people rely on cars being noisy is that they always have been noisy. It's not like engine noise is the only thing separating life and death. Consider parking lots, which are exactly the kind of close-quarters, limited visibility place where engine noise would be vital, if it were really vital. When a parking lot is too busy to pinpoint the engine noise of a nearby car -- when there are cars all around, shopping carts jangling over rough pavement, people talking, PA systems blaring announcements, noise reflecting off all the metal surfaces -- does that make it a deadly environment? No. People are careful, and accidents are rare. Relying on sound is not a necessity; it's just a habit that has become a mistake.

The danger is based entirely on people needing to adjust their assumptions about cars, which has basically already happened for people in the United States, where hybrids are now commonplace. The longer we can hold off this insanity the more obvious it will be that it is insanity. Who in 2015 will assume that cars are noisy, if we don't commit the folly of making them noisy? In 2020? Or we could choose to make cars noisy now and be stuck with the noise pollution forever.
Likely so but it isn't inflating Google+ user numbers.
(1) MLs allow to nest named functions. Go only allows named global functions, and lacks a feature that Pascal had.

(2) Someone has to do cleanup anyhow. Either the caller or callee. (I am no expert in calling conventions) Anyhow, isn't this practically free, because the stack is in the L1 cache?

(3) To implement lightweight threads (ala. Erlang, Go, Stackless) you already can't allocate your activation records on the C-stack. So the main cost for call/cc is already paid for. Besides, Go lacks any form of non-local jumps, so escape continuations alone (setjmp/longjmp) would already be an improvement.
Callers have to readjust the stack after each call when TCO is enabled, but without TCO a function can allocate outgoing argument space for every function invocation up front and reuse that space for every call.
does it recognize php frameworks - like cakephp, codeigniter,

or libraries like flourish
Nice to see, thanks.
Sounds like a textbook "innovator/early adopter/mainstream" situation to me.

Agreed. UnderTheSite makes a specific point of only considering information that would be returned when a user's browser hits a website. It doesn't scan or probe ports / urls.
Only a few months after starting this, both of us had consumed more than half of Gmail's 2-gigabyte free storage space.

Okay, I'm extremely suspicious of anyone who claims to process one gigabyte of email per month. Barring large attachments, that is a tremendous amount of sheer data. If you're getting that much email, you probably need culling tools more than you need space.

Regarding the two gigabyte limit being shocking, it was at the time. The only reason Google could pull it off is because 1) very, very few users would get anywhere near that and 2) they were already scaling data at a ridiculous rate. A traditionally desktop-oriented software company like Microsoft would not be able to offer anything similar without tremendous investment of hardware and development.
What if we propose an extension to humans.txt called technologies.txt where a site can self-describe their stack?
One huge advantage is that unlike Google Maps it is Open Source.
The EV1 SUV was pretty much silent. Leaving a parking spot, it sounded like a bicycle. Without the ratchet. At freeway speeds, car noise is dominated by tire noise, so presumably the EV1 was equivalently loud there.
" Literally everyone I care about is on Facebook"

Everyone I cared about was on Friendster and on Myspace too.

My favorite people who I'm friends with on Facebook tend to rarely post on Facebook (if at all) or use Twitter as their main outlet.

I enjoy the social purge as my list get re-populated by my true friends of the time and the quality of the content re-aligns with a better signal-to-noise ratio.

On a side note: photo uploading is way better on G+. I've been extremely unhappy about the re-encoding on Facebook which outputs my photos with less quality (despite uploading at a high quality setting) where as Google retains my original image and scales it according the browser size. That alone makes my experience vastly better as nothing annoys me more than seeing friends use my low-res photos of them as their profile photos when they should have access to a high-res version.
Bingo. We have a winner, folks. Once an organization is forced into, or drifts into that line of work, it's like a dog that's tasted human blood....
Well, it's in early stages of development, I'm sure it'll become quite stable in future - just give it some time.
Q1 2011 revenues were down 4%, but since the paywall didn't launch until mid-March, we'll have to wait until the next quarterly to learn the full early results of the change.
RSS2Email with a Sieve filter to move the messages into their own folder. I use various IMAP clients to read my feeds, including Thunderbird on my laptop, Mutt on my Linux box, Roundcube when I need Webmail and K-9 on my phone.

The only problem with it is RSS2Email sometimes sends duplicate messages for some reason. It also doesn't offer the capability to filter messages out of the feed. If I need to do anything like that I just bounce through Yahoo Pipes.
Is it time for Apple to shut down one of the fastest and most used mobile browsers, whose development (along with Chrome) helps drives standards forward on iOS, Android, Mac and Windows? As if.

Does Google-Plus have feeds?
I wouldn't use it, because it doesn't use the main hotkeys for user interaction on the alert box (enter, space) or the confirm box (enter, space, escape).

I also would have liked it better, if the default functions of alert and confirm would have been overwritten, instead of recreated into an object.
Overwriting the existent functions would have been made it a snap to integrate smoke.js into existing projects.
It is also seriously targeted at mobile devices like iPhone and Android. It also has quite different approaches to API and source code architecture (with Leaflet leaning towards OOP and Polymaps towards functional approach).
I took a high school journalism class (like 500 million years ago) and my recollection is that there are certain "rules" about how to write headlines that, unfortunately, tend to encourage these types of sentences. IIRC: The headlines need to be short, they are supposed to be in active voice to grab your attention, they are supposed to lead with a particular thing, they are supposed to be the shortest possible summary of what is important about the story....etc. And that's part of why these types of confusing headlines occur: Because grabbing your attention is more important than clear communication.

The last line you suggested is the one I would be inclined to write but it's too long, basically. And headlines generally want to avoid words like "a" and "that".

Anyone with journalism knowledge fresher than 500 million years ago who wants to update/correct my info? :-D

Thanks.
