When I watched NASL the first day everything played great for the majority of the day then my stream started randomly locking up for no reason, just the video, the audio would continue to play then the stream would catch up a few seconds later.

I'm on a high end gaming PC with oodles of RAM / SSD / i7 on a 50 down 10 up connection so I don't think that watching a stream in 1080p would tax my computer too much.

I also don't think it was the NASL team's fault because the same thing happens on other streams periodically.

It seems to be a bandwidth issue from justin.tv to the end user but it could be anything, all I know is that it is quite annoying.

The next few days everything worked great again.

I think Thawte was a much more ambitious startup to come out of South Africa.

Thawte was founded in 1995 by Mark Shuttleworth in South Africa and was originally run from Shuttleworth's parents' garage. It became the second largest public certificate authority on the Internet and sold for hundreds of millions of USD within a few years.
As far as i recall, Snow Leopard was unlimited installs, that or i did toss in the extra 10-20$ for unlimited installs, i don't recall exactly (i do definitely recall buying a family pack for Leopard).

Regardless, where is that option now?

How is the backwards compatibility in general? I got a Oracle 10g database running on SL that I am particularly worried about.

I got it anyways - will have to do a full backup and find out I suppose.

Speaking of 4GB downloads - OS X still does not have something like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Background_Intelligent_Transfer... which can utilize priorities, throttling and do idle bandwidth downloads. That means my VOIP calls are screwed until the download is done. Even any of the Apple routers don't do QoS stuff I guess.

[Edit] Apparently the backwards compat is not good enough for Oracle :( -

-bash: ulimit: max user processes: cannot modify limit: Invalid argument
oracle@~$ sqlplus / as sysdba
Segmentation fault: 11
oracle@~$

[Edit2] And the scrollbars are throwing me off but there is a setting to revert to old behavior.

About three weeks ago my friend and I enquired if anyone had any work for two hard-core hackers from Eastern Europe (over here http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2684909). Several of you go in touch with us, and we're just now finishing our first project: a web app that helps you plan optimal routes and ordering for your events - whEnroute.

The client side is a thin smattering of HTML and jQuery. The server side, though... the server side is pure Haskell. We're using the Snap web framework, Heist templating and a couple of open source libraries to talk to Google and SMTP. Some of the changes we had to implement on open source libraries were already merged upstream.

At the heart of this app is an algorithm that solves the time-constrained traveling salesman problem. The solution is two-fold: for smaller data sets, we run exhaustive searches. For larger data sets we do simulated annealing to deliver an acceptable solution.

The whole thing is still being tweaked, options being added, the user interface is a mess, but hey... it works somewhat, and somebody might actually like it. Launch early, eh?

Thanks for helping us find challenging work HN!

Sincerely,
Ivan & David

First thing that came to my mind too. When drone lambda gets on it, it's time to get out of it :) Financially speaking. As working places, tech companies are still the best places for engineers, of course.

The part that best put it for me was: "she realized sometime in the middle of April that she needed to do an Internet start-up for something."

I simultaneously recoiled and felt attracted, as I very well feel the same way, and now I wonder if the fact that I'm engineer legitimizes my urge at all, compared to hers.

> As far as i recall, Snow Leopard was unlimited installs

The license was for a single machine. If you wanted to install it on multiple machine, you were supposed to get a family pack (5 machines).

Lion is single-user (since it's tied to an iTunes Store account), and up to 5 machines at the same time (all machines on which the account is active).
As a Brit... might I suggest that the more accurate answer is that you'd be hard pressed to find an ex-pat in your current country of residence who didn't do that at some point?
Yeah that's what I'm waiting for: the state of Xcode 4 for lion (is it free, or still $5?) and the macports update.

i installed the developer preview of os-x lion some weeks ago. following are my first impressions. let me know how you think...

performance:
at first i thought lions performance sucks, but mdworker and kextcache processes are re-initializing spotlight right after installation which slows down the system and heats up the cpu. after two hours of fan-noise and heat the system seems to be fine and is running smoothly now.

mail:
the new mail is great. finally email conversations are grouped. it features a new 3-column view, which imho is sub-optimal when working with loads of emails. fortunately the classic view also supports grouped conversations. i like

launchpad:
well guys. this is a super use-less feature, as i setup my application folder as a dock-folder anyhow. for me at least there's no need to have an ios view of apps on a desktop computer or notebook.

mission control:
this actually combines spaces and expose. unfortunately it adds nothing to my personal workflow as i rarely use those features.

calendar:
the new calendar is actually a huge disappointment as i'm working with mutliple calendars of different people (synched via google calendar). it's not possible anymore to permanently display the list of calendars in a sidebar. this suxx big time. besides that the switching of calendars with the new dropdown kind of list is totally unreliable and the calendars don't seem to update properly when working with multiple windows :( i'll probably have to switch to google calendar or something else. any recommendations for a good calendar desktop app for os-x which can handle multiple gcal accounts?

trim support for ssd:
finally there's trim support for ssd drives. this is totally overdue since windows and linux support this since quite a long time. i know that this is more a long term performance feature, but actually hoped that this would increase my ssd performance. unfortunately the xbench results did not get any better. sidenode: i'm not really convinced from the ssd performance under os-x (maybe it's the apple ssds which aren't that good, but colleagues have much much better results with linux).

versions
the integrated document versioning is quite cool and i'm sure this will save my * at some point in the future :)

conclusion
well as stated above there are some good things about lion like mail, versions and trim support, but also several downsides. i actually expected more and am a bit disappointed. there are also some other features, like fullscreen support for apps and airdrop which i didnt really test yet...

cheers
I'm disappointed in the answer to the following questions:

Can I tile two windows without 17 clicks and mouse movements? Fortunately for the creator of Cinch, it seems the answer is no.

Can I archive a gmail message? No?
Well, this was an honest question about proxying the creation of the needed accounts automatically from your app.
And wanted to know if this was permitted/legal.

You know, taking the credit card data from the user, storing it in your secure app, creating an email address within your app, submiting info provided by your user to Google Checkout and then when a payment needs to be done:

User needs money to pay something you are selling ->
Your app then goes onto the Google Checkout account of the customer and tries to get some money for you.

You basically are making your own API on top of the current Google Checkout. Maybe using scraping and stuff (just like how InDinero scrapes and get your bank data).

I'm asking because I cannot verify if this indeed can be done. I cannot create a Google Checkout account since I'm not from the USA.
On the other hand, a lot of talented engineers are making the jump from Wall Street quants to early startup employees, and that's a good thing.

Why would margins evaporate? Tech gets cheaper every year, but Apple keeps the same price points. They're the 800lb gorilla, and can get better pricing than competitors because of their volume.

They grew the market for smartphones and tablets, and they'll probably continue to do so. It's still a long way to smartphone and tablet saturation.

Why is Lion downloaded from Facebook servers?
When writing software, the goal is often to take some task which a human once did manually, and to partially or completely automate it. I automate as much of my daily work-flow as possible. If I could, I would automate myself right out of writing software all together.

I think this attitude explains why I loath the employee-employer fixed pay relationship so much. Selling your time, day-in, day-out, to write software, is antithetical to the very act of writing software, because, as the developer, you haven’t automated yourself out of any future work.
The highest marginal federal tax rate for corporations is 35%. I think that's too high. But Google, a US Corporation, who derives most of it's earnings from it's US operations, is paying but a small fraction of that.

I think in the case of Google, they should at least be paying higher tax rates on all advertising earnings from US users; it seems to me they are maying barely 1 tenth of that amount currently.

Just as "selective enforcement" of laws leads to corruption, so too does gaming the tax system. Large corporations pay legislators to create these tax loopholes for them.

This. We're running a startup environment inside an income-producing business, and I really do think it's the best of both worlds.

If you are in this position, you will not be at the mercy of the investment climate for survival when the bubble bursts. Having been in the latter position in 2000, I can attest that it is by no means enjoyable.
It was a bit more subtle. I think the point was, that you don't have to restart your machine to begin the installation.
Snow Leopard’s license did not allow for unlimited installs. One machine. That’s it. It has always been possible (not legal, though) to install Snow Leopard on as many machines as you wanted to. (That has been the case for every version of OS X since the beginning.) It has also always been possible to install it without even owning Leopard – even though the license didn’t allow you to. You could buy the family pack for a few dollars more but that also wasn’t unrestricted. It allowed for five users.

As for Lion, you can just log in with whatever account you want in the Mac App Store. That’s it. It’s not a problem. Logging out won’t disable any apps. You can download Lion as often as you want. (If you don’t want to use the Mac App Store you can just extract the installer DMG from the Lion app and use it to install Lion on all machines you own. This also saves you from having to download Lion twice.) The installer won’t phone home to verify whether you are allowed to install.

The license allows you to install Lion on any computer you own or control for personal use. I assume that includes your wife’s machine.

For business use you can install Lion on all machines a single person uses or on one machine several people use.

You're clearly very passionate about this topic and I think that passion has blinded you a little as to just how important an article's title is. The actual article only says this:

"But astronomers hope that, before the collision, the spinning stars will help scientists test Einstein's general theory of relativity and even reveal the origins of an entire class of supernovae."

The title was undoubtedly written by some editor whose job is to drive traffic. Nothing to get so upset about. Most people are pretty ignorant about these sorts of things (myself included). That doesn't mean that I saw the title and was like "well finally they proved that mad man right."

He appears to be using it in the sense of people whose aspirations involve things other than material prosperity, at least past a threshhold of "comfortable, Western middle class".

If you achieve comfortable Western middle-class, what do you aspire to past that? A traditional and quite common aspiration is to move more into the upper class: to make enough money to regularly travel the world, buy a large house, buy a sports car, or perhaps even move into the higher tier of owning a beach home in Hawaii, yacht, private jet, etc.

"Post-materialists", on the other hand, tend to be satisfied with the Western-middle-class level of prosperity, and once they reach it start aspiring to things like greater autonomy, fewer working hours, greater proportion of time spent on creative endeavors, etc. I don't really like the phrase "post-materialist" (feels judgmental), and sort of prefer Tyler Cowen's phrase "threshold earners" (which this article also cites), as a more neutral description of people whose monetary aspirations are to reach a comfortable threshhold and stop there.

The article is a bit rambling, but what I take as the takeaway is that accounting for those kinds of aspirations requires something more than just "economic grwoth", since it's not really a linear scale of move up in the economy --> move up further in the economy. Instead it has more to do with flexibility of work arrangements, barriers to self-employment, etc.
