Ask HN: Can you list high profile companies that use PHP?

You can get both.
Aside from the fact that it's basically blogspam which does a poor job of explaining common JavaScript idioms, articles like this are dangerous because of what they don't say.

In (2), for example, they suggest using the short-circuit feature of the || operator in assignments, and mention that a null, undefined or empty string value on the left will make the assignment fall through to the value on the right hand side. What this fails to mention is that any value that converts to false will trigger the fall-through: this includes 0, false, and NaN and well as the values already mentioned.

(9) is really pernicious since it neither explains the real uses of the arguments object, nor mentions how it can screw up the public interface your functions provide. For example, if a function has no named arguments it will have a length property of 0. This can screw up all kinds of handy stuff like higher-order programming.
European VCs Say They Love Taking Risks
I never bought that civil disobediences needs to be committed in the open. Rather, I think that is just one of many forms it can take.

Example of it not being committed in the open, to no negated effect (and arguably greater effect): People anonymously posting "illegal keys" and cryptosystems for export on the internet for others to obtain. The often anonymous nature of their actions emphasizes how the current laws are absurd for being unenforceable when people with the right knowledge choose for them to be unenforceable.

My favorite part of this is that for some reason, the HTML document they're using to display (unsanitized) user details in the Skype application has a cookie set that contains the logged in user's login token. Why is that even necessary to display another user's profile?
> Does the ability to retain this information at runtime on a platform without inherent support for this cause noticeable slow down or is it practically negligible especially when compared to typical bottlenecks?

You need to generate a type for it at compile time, but I expect there's not much (if any) runtime overhead, and it can allow for type-specialized collections (e.g. a specialized collection instead of the generic ArrayList<Int>).

On the other hand, in languages like Java or C# (the niche it aims for), because the language is actually quite dynamic (compared to Haskell) and has casts you need reified generics to stay type-safe, type erasure is too easy to bypass to be safe (GHC implements generic collections via type erasure, but that's not really an issue in haskell)
I use Taskwarrior on Linux and Mac and that's a pretty awesome idea. Where/how does task store the todo list data? I'll have to do some research.

Stubbing RESTful APIs in Node.js
"..even DOS your own site with it and be fine"

What if there are other sites/services are hosted on the same physical box?
The most interesting insight is that because JS is higher level than Java bytecode, it avoids some of the lower-level compatibility issues, which actually makes WORA easier, even when considering JS a VM language.
I just wish that in the early UNIX days they reserved some of the flags to mean one thing only, and required all commands to have them (where it made sense). Like:

-r recursive (i.e., it should always be recursive mode if a command operates on files, and should always exist if it makes sense for that command)

-v verbose

-s sort

-i ignore case

-q quiet (suppress output)

If there were, say, 20 well-chosen standard flags (and they were enforced) it could have given the UNIX tools another level of nice regularity.
Work for post-materialists
Bad idea. I don't like to even fill out my census form and they would like to sync my info with corps? No. There's more to it that trust, and overall it doesn't seem to fix any need I have. For the general population, I see one immediate benefit: for people on the move, managing change of address and keeping their mail flowing to the proper place is important. It seems that the post-office can do that for you though at a small premium and re-direct every piece of mail. So what exactly does this offer that we need?

Not quite consistently, semicolons are optional: http://confluence.jetbrains.net/display/Kotlin/Grammar#Gramm...

The rule is "newline or semicolon", so whitespace does carry a meaning.

IMHO this is a mistake, because it is often fragile and can lead to code that the compiler reads differently than the human sitting in front of the screen.

And yes, I maintain that that's a mistake in javascript and Go too.

Apart from that, I agree with your conclusions. I'll try it out as soon as they release the compiler.

Of course, the very first sentence qualifies that statement with "... out of South Africa". I'm not an expert on South African companies, but I imagine that it's far less unlikely to be true with that qualification.
From Wikipedia: "Myhrvold, usually with coinventors, holds 17 U.S. patents assigned to Microsoft[3] and has applied for more than 500 patents.[4] In addition, Myhrvold and coinventors hold 115 U.S. patents assigned mostly to The Invention Science Fund I, LLC"

Sounds like someone's got a lot to gain from the patent system staying the way it is.

VMware's new license model may have admins running to Hyper-V
My parents made me memorize a poem at a young age:

I have only just a minute,
only sixty seconds in it,
forced upon me, can't refuse it,
didn't seek it, didn't choose it.
But, it is up to me to use it.
I must suffer if I lose it.
Give account if I abuse it,
just a tiny little minute - but eternity is in it."

Which I interpreted to mean that life is really about process. It's very distracting to focus on long term goals in many cases, as it can cause you to overlook the steps that need to happen each minute, especially if you think that you can make up that minute later.
Long time scales also force you to make impossible predictions about how long you'll even be alive(which can be underestimated as easily as over estimated).
My case was for a heterogeneous build environment, where separate environments needed to be maintained for different developer groups.

It would have been a good fit for VMs.. except for the performance.

Apple Releases OS X 10.7 | Lion | The Mac Observer
you are misunderstanding how physics works. einstein didn't think up a bunch of different random ideas. he had a small number of very deep insights. various things follow from those insights - come out in the maths, if you like. gravity waves are just one way that his description of gravity can be confirmed. it's true that they are difficult to observe and so haven't been confirmed yet, but no-one expects them to not exist. at this point it would be hugely more interesting if they were not found than if they were.
Is it bad that as a developer stories like this sometimes scare me?
I read the licensing terms and you are still allowed to install the one copy you buy across as many computers as you own (for personal use). For business use you can install it on one computer that multiple users have access to (e.g. a shared workstation/library) or you can install it on all the computers that one employee uses (e.g. desktop + laptop).

So I guess it's more of a technical/sign-in limitation than a licensing limitation.

again, there's a big difference between that, which was a simple constant of integration, and the consequences of a consistent theory.

you are being exploited by journalists who are telling you attractive stories about "right" and "wrong" without giving any idea of their relative importance. einstein's work is now considered normal, boring, mainline physics. it's not controversial - in some areas it is being improved on (and i guess then we're going to see "einstein was wrong" which, again, does not reflect how science works),

As it happens, I bought yesterday a volume of Anthony Trollope's _North America_ (1862) in a used book store yesterday and noticed the passage

"There is, I think, no task-master over free labor so exacting as an American. He knows nothing of hours, and seems to have that idea of a man which a lady always has of a horse. He thinks that he will go forever. I wish those masons in London who strike for nine hours' work with ten hours' pay could be driven to the labor market of Western America for a spell. And moreover, which astonished me, I
have seen men driven and hurried, as it were forced forward at their work, in a manner which, to an English workman, would be intolerable.... The complaint that wages are held back, and not even ultimately paid, is very common. There is no fixed rule for satisfying all such claims once a week, and thus debts to laborers are contracted, and when contracted are ignored."

As for intellectual property, the textile industry of New England got its start with English designs in something of an underhand way, I recall.

I don't necessarily agree with Myhrvold, but I don't think this guy is giving him enough credit.

The problem Myhrvold gives is real: large companies with lots of resources can, if they choose to, steal your idea and try to compete. This problem comes up on HN periodically, and I think the canon is to simply have the better product. I would call this playing field more level than the one where entrepreneurial teams can't compete at all.

OS X Lion Review: It's The Final Frontier
Apple Releases Lion Server | Lion | The Mac Observer
For backups, I use rdiff-backup across 60G+ of user data, nightly. rdiff-backup uses librsync to transfer files, but also handles incremental backups and seems to be fairly efficient at storing increments. Nightly, maybe 10%, maximum, of the user data changes and backups complete in less than 2 hours. Load is low enough I could run several times a day if I needed.

Databases should be properly dumped to a file before back up.

I've also tried BackupPC, which was a great project, but probably not the best fit for this case. I was running it in a virtualized container, and I ran into a lot of memory issues backing up large servers. This issue likely came down to memory -- not necessarily BackupPC itself -- but I dropped it because backups commonly took around 6-8h, if they didn't silently hang on me.

I have not tested the OS so i will not comment about how snappier it is, but it just looks to me like one trying too hard to get OSx on Ubuntu. I applaud their efforts to build apps for it but still it would have been much better if they could have put their efforts in building something new, beyond already existing native desktop, may be an enhanced and better tiling wm to add to their os or something out of the box.
I feel really terrible for the employees who work at these stores, thinking they are working for Apple. I think about how I felt when I got a job I really wanted at that age, and the joy they must have felt when they were hired, and telling all of their friends and family that they were Apple employees.

Look at the photos of the employees. They look so sincere and earnest. I can only imagine the disappointment they will feel one day when they find out they're working for a con man.

I'd love it if this story ended with "and then Apple, seeing how badly Kunming wanted to have an Apple Store, came along, built a real one, and hired all the employees at the new, legitimate store."
