Well, before Google started with Chrome you could say that was true, they were doing impressive things with WebKit. I am not counting commits and their weight now, so hard to tell how it is today.

Yeah that makes sense. Also I think management is obsessed with data these days (and to some people that means charts </g>)
>It isn't the cyclical nature of the games business. It's that the people "managing" are absolute rank amateurs, shamelessly greedy businessmen, or both.

Every industry is loaded with managers who are rank amateurs, shamelessly greedy, or both. The difference is game companies tend to go out of business if the product isn't shipped in time for the Christmas season.

>Couple this with the fact that there's an endless amount of fresh meat (I want to make games when I grow up!) and except for an enlightened few there's no real reason to change.

There's a lot of truth to this. I wouldn't work in a game industry for the same reason I wouldn't open a surfboard shop or a used book store: I don't want to be competing with people who are willing to devote all their time to the job and don't care how much money they make. Eventually game developers burn out and move on, but like you say, there is an endless amount of recent grads to take their place.
`grep 'core id' /proc/cpuinfo | sort -u | wc -l` will work.
See http://serverfault.com/questions/262867/how-to-find-out-if-m...
Crazy things people have done at the apple store
/proc/cpuinfo are hyperthreaded cores, as exposed to the OS. For basically all the modern multi-core Intel Xeon CPUs you can divide that by 2. It seems you can also find out by looking at physical ID and "cpu cores". On a 64 (hyperthreaded) cores machine, I see physical ID 0..4 and cpu cores 8 in this case, which would mean 8*4=32.
An Awesomer Tweet Button: Tracks your site's most influential users
You're welcome, and thank you. That kind of feedback makes me very, very happy.
iTunes is used, overwhelmingly, to deliver music to mobile devices. And streaming is facing a number of serious barriers for that kind of mobile use: battery drain, network coverage, bandwidth caps and the high price of data plans (with sufficient caps).

So, almost regardless of individual quality, streaming services are not replacing iTunes any time soon. Almost certainly not in the US and likely not anywhere else.

They definitely have a market, particularly in competing with terrestrial and satellite radio. But streaming is simply not a good fit to do what iTunes is used to do.
With your #1, for many people the time to target is instantaneous with a scroll wheel or trackpad. They just scroll without having to search for a target. The time to target is essentially zero, so any sort of control on the page will inevitably be slower.

Asking for help is an implicit admission of lack of skill or knowledge. People think this reflects negatively on them. In a good team it actually reflects positively, because it means the person thinks learning is more important than ass-covering, but then not everyone works in a good team.

> Companies seem to care very little if their little patent wars leave a little or a lot collateral damage.

Totally true and never argued a different point of view. Just consider how killing Android would be a major blow to Google and how likely it is to land such a blow on a company like Google in a situation like this. What I meant was, that considering the context and the chances, it is much more likely that whoever wins, wins some millions, maybe even billions. That will hurt the loser, maybe hurt the companies overall value, but it will not kill Java or Android.

Btw. I think it is really interesting, how both sides in a discussion can think the other one is kind of naive and blind, because they don't really get the point of the other one. Your ostriches-argument is exactly what I thought when I wrote my comment (just exchange optimistic with pesimistic)!
Good feedback. Thanks!
These strike me as no-brainers. There's nothing really philosophical or controversial about them. I wouldn't even classify them as "teamwork", just basic communication.

If I hire someone to do a job then I absolutely expect them to a) ask for clarification if required, b) confirm with me once the job is done or c) warn me if the job will not be done on time.

I think most of the comments on here have read way too much into these 3 rules.

Tip: he's talking about how individual members of a team communicate with him: the boss. Nothing more, nothing less.
How do we

There is no 'we', people act individually. If people will have enough savings, they will retire earlier, if they don't they keep working. The increase in life expectancy would be doubled with an increase in health and fitness at these older ages. So people can and would keep working.

The alternative interpretation is more insidious: "we should not allow people to live longer because it will bankrupt the pension system". Well, if the pension system is one casualty of longer, healthier and more productive lives then so be it.
Dysiode said they forgot the term, Wilduck reminded us.
Great job; that was definitely a point of comparison that was missing from the original article. I'm surprised this actually is faster, but if it is only by 10%, then I still think the memory-less algorithm is preferable.

On modern-day systems main memory access is much slower than the processor, and on multi-core systems (which are the norm these days, though not all cores are always in use, of course) the memory bus can easily become a bottleneck. Benchmarks tend to hide that fact because they are often run on a single core on an otherwise idle system, so they usually have all memory bandwidth and cache memory to themselves, which isn't really representative of real-world systems.

For that reason, I believe that algorithms that do not depend on fast memory access to work efficiently are preferable to those that make use of large memory caches, at least if the performance difference isn't too great.
So, 'the people who live in the US' own America?

Considering the ridiculous prices for health care in the US, we could easily knock 50 trillion off that by just sending all those seniors to Canada for health care. Or perhaps reforming our health care system to not charge 3x as much for worse services than are available in more civilized countries? I think someone tried that, but the people who plan to pocket most of that $99 trillion weren't happy at all about the prospect.
"The HTML5 boom is coming. Fast."

The game industry was always like this. My best friend from high school worked at a game company circa 1990. One year as deadlines approached the company actually rented hotel rooms for the developers for a few weeks so they could code all their waking hours without distractions. Distractions, you know, like family, friends, hobbies, exercise, healthy food...

How to alert engineers effectively

Wow, I need to figure out what to do with this but I imagine there are a couple of interesting things. Integrated support on iOS Apps?
And low paying, dirty, dangerous industries too

Thia is not strictly true. For a couple of reasons:

1) Men have systematically blocked women from being a part of some dirty dangerous industries. For example combat soldiers, firefighters, even fishermen. It's possible women may not be particularly good at these jobs, artificial boundaries certainly don't help your case.

2) There are other low paying industries dominated by women. For example pimped out prostitutes are predominately women. So again, there are basically no high paying professions dominated by women. And low paying professions are shared by men and women.

Homelessness and prisoner isn't a profession. It's a state of life. But a more fair comparison there is to something like domestic abuse leading to death at the hands of the opposite sex. Or rape at the hands of the opposite sex. Or even just murder at the hands of the opposite sex.
Wow, really? MOG has Dylan and Floyd (but obviously no Beatles). I assumed their catalogs (and anyone's other than Apple's) would be pretty similar.

What explains the very different licensing these different streaming music apps are able to get? Is it just their negotiating (in)ability?
Yep; the duality of words and their users.

There's no way to "take back" a word if popular use dictates it's something else. It started as one thing, it ends as something very different. (ex. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fag http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skinhead)

I know many people who have campaigned to try to make the word into a positive, to "take it back", but the majority of people don't care what we do or why. The media shapes the conversation and the people have it without us.
Or "I'll pay more for this to reward these people for making games for my platform, and more developers will hopefully follow."
There is a law of decreasing returns when it comes to "resources". That is to say, an engineer only makes so much, and throwing additional engineers at a single project only gains you so much, and the gains of each additional engineer are far less.

And the comparison between Chrome and Firefox shows... nothing? In my usage, Firefox works fine and Chrome swaps like hell and crashes even when I can get it working. Clearly other people have different experiences, but I can't reproduce them.

And you would not argue that IE6 was better than Firefox 1.0, I am sure. Microsoft had waaaay more resources than Mozilla then too. That is not indicative of failure.

I completely agree with all of the above. I was doing a linear scan, and I know that that is artificial. Your stride suggestion does slow things down dramatically; thanks for the simple-to-implement idea.

(Shrinking the lookup table by 1/8, I don't know how to do that fast.)

As I see it, the Model in MVC is everything that is not C or V. It encompasses the service layer, the DAOs, the data objects and what have you.

Ask HN: Review My Startup - Thankuz.com
http://thankuz.com

The Problem:

It's too darn difficult, time consuming and expensive to send genuine thanks regularly. Traditional thank you notes required way too much planning in today's fast paced environment (ie. stamps, stationary, envelops, contact info, etc.). Not to mention the environmental impact using all that paper has.

E-Greeting card sites are just as tedious as traditional thank you notes. The typical process requires a user to first sign up, then they have to take several steps to create a card before actually getting to do what matters most, send it. Not to mention that during creation many users are bombarded with 100's of fonts, themes, graphics, etc. (too many choices). These sites don't solve the problem very well in our opinion.

Many people have resorted to sending thanks via social status messages, which isn't nearly as personal, meaningful or effective. We created Thankuz as an alternative to these options and think it fills the large gap between traditional handwritten thank you notes, and less formal social status updates.

The Proposed Solution:

First and foremost, we built Thankuz for ourselves.

The Thankuz Web App was created to make it easier for anyone to say, "Thank You" to People, Places or Things for Gifts, Acts and Expressions via instant thank you notes.

We've recently released our MVP and would greatly appreciate some feedback from the HN community.

Here's an example note: http://thankuz.com/notes/io0w0rf

Sounds like about 2/3 of the posts I write for the web. It's the 2/3 that I close the window instead of hitting 'submit' on. :) I end up feeling better about clearing my mind of something, but I don't inflict my rambling useless nonsense on anyone else.

The other 1/3 actually have a point and I do hit 'submit' on those.

I have some anecdotal evidence on the contrary. My wife is a very casual computer user, but uses two-finger scroll all the time. My sister-in-law is very similar - not a computer person, but has an Apple laptop and uses two-finger scroll. Also, Apple mice support scrolling[1], and almost any third-party mouse you buy will have a scroll button as well. Scrolling with a mouse or trackpad seems like an integral part of user interaction.

You're missing out too - and I say this as someone who used to only play DF. DF is amazing, but there are tons of other games that are just as amazing or nearly so (Minecraft, Fallout, Terraria, Portal, Spacechem ... dear deity, Spacechem. If you buy one game this year, buy it). None of them really compare to DF in learning curve or sheer complexity, but they're all really good.

Interesting. This looks useful.
It's really not an ideal solution. Does F11 even work on the Mac? I F11 in Chrome, I get no (ahem) chrome, but if I F11 in Firefox and IE, my tabs are still there.

(EDIT: just realised they disappear after a little while. Interesting.)

In any case, the fact that there is nothing clickable is baffling. I really don't understand why no-one thought to tackle this when discussing the <video> tag.
> You can simulate random access by using a stride great enough to avoid the cache.

I think a good pattern is to add a large number co-prime to 2^32 on every iteration. That guarantees you actually hit all cache entries, while picking a "round" number like 1024 underutilizes the cache severely, which is unfair if you were trying to simulate random performance.

edit: Actually, in this case it doesn't really matter since your values aren't expected to be in-cache anyway.
This isn't about high positions. This is about choice of profession. I can buy your argument for why men become CxOs (although based on people I've worked with in the past who have said they'd never report to a woman, I think sexism plays a large role in our industry), it doesn't explain why women as a whole go into poorer paying fields.

Psychology is the classic example. Few women in the field in the 60s, and pay was relatively good. By the late 90s it became dominated by women and the pay dropped signficantly. Did women go into because the pay was low, or did the pay drop when women went into it? You can find people who argue either side.

But the point is, there's never been an industry that women have gone into that has become a high paying field.

The best way for your son to be a financial success is to not go into whatever his sister is going into. :-)
Perhaps because Japan is an ally. Even if that were to change and the Japanese government became less aligned with US politically, Japan would still not be a threat militarily.

As far as I know, R=1. Rusty is likely the best to comment on this and things may change before/after release, but currently there is no way to specify R for index lookups, and only the minimal set of replicas is queried.

Technically, when you perform a write, Riak will always dispatch to N replicas. W simply requires Riak to confirm W writes before responding to the client. So W=N allows you to know N index sets have been updated, but it's not strictly necessary. At the end of the day, indexes are eventually consistent like the rest of Riak.
Thanks for this comment, you catch my drift very well!

Of course writing this on the net, I'm quite obliged to hold up the other part of the bargain. This is definitely part of the intent.

Thanks.

What's likely going on is fairly complicated to delve in to in a comment thread like this. However one possibility is that Linux just has a terribly hard time scheduling with that many cores. Processes attempt to maintain locality up to a point, but tend to move around between cpus when another has more free time. Moving results in a cold cache needing refreshing, and that significantly slows down work.

I've seen the same point made elsewhere, and the point isn't really that tax revenue stays constant as a % of GDP, it's that there seems to be a ceiling around 20%. The implication being that attempts to raise tax revenue greater than 20% of GDP are likely to fail.

By that logic, when China comes to claim its debt, whoever we borrow from then to pay off China is who owns the US. Since ultimately we're going to pay it off (maybe in decades, but eventually), we're always the last in line and thus the "owner". No, we have to look at who we owe money to now and assume we won't be able to pay it off. The game is too circular otherwise.
