Ah yes, exactly like that.

The firefighters pointed out that - unlike in the movies - the smoke becomes so thick so quickly that you can't run out of a burning house. You usually have to crawl. They themselves usually crawl if they really must enter a burning unit, so they can somewhat see where they're going. In some cases, even that's not possible. So they'll keep one hand on the wall and slowly make their way in. Frightening. I give firefighters a lot of credit.
I prefer white light over soft yellow light :)

I read something a while ago about different cultures, and their preferences for different kinds of light. I believe North Americans tend to like the soft yellow, while many Asian cultures are more comfortable with crisp white. Although, I grew up here, so I'm not sure where my preference comes from.
Worth it, stretched over like 7 years?
I hope people were running into a lot of bugs and errors as a result of that code in order to get it removed...

Removing code because it's "old" or unmaintainable but which relied on features require seems like a questionable decision to me.

Predicting volatility, NYSE invokes Rule 48
Yes, except if I want a 50" plasma TV (I still have a 28" CRT!) I would earn money and then buy one.
The mistake arises from the different semantics of findall versus what I initially wanted to do. I initially tried "^(dict|here)+$", which should return all the subwords, but doesn't (it only returns the last one).

I'm missing something, clearly, but my initial idea was a state machine that contained all the words (sorted by length, perhaps, but that's not necessary if we don't care about the solution with the "most words") and linked back to itself. It's essentially the same as the backtracking example, from a cursory glance.

Of course, findall is a dumb version that only finds disjoint substrings.

EDIT: It turns out that the group count in regexps is fixed, so it's not possible to return all matches of a single group, even if it's repeated. All my solution above does is show you whether there's a match or not, but not what it is (unless it's the single word).
If you're coming from a linux environment, you're probably used to having Apt or Yum available. OSX has no built in package manager so you've either got go out and find compiled binaries somewhere or install from source, both of which are tedious and searching the web for it is time consuming vs. the `brew install wget` commands that you can probably guess and it'll take care of installation in the background while you do something else.

See here for stuff you can install with one command:

Interesting article on a topic I've discussed many times with fellow Norwegians. Most points are valid, but the one with regards to "the Jante law" is hardly an argument. The Jante law is as central - or even more central - in Sweden, yet there are many startups here in compare. Real entreprenurs don't get stuck on such thing as Jante laws - then you are doomed to fail anyway; requires more "skin on the nose" than that to run a startup longer than a few months.

Serious answer: because I haven't seen any designer offer better arguments against A/B testing, though they often write about disliking it.

If someone holds an opinion but doesn't articulate the reasons for holding it, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. But if they try to articulate the reasons and the result is emotional and full of fallacies, I start to think that it's just rationalization and the actual reason is something else, perhaps some opaque emotional reaction that they're trying to justify instead of examining it.

Politicians and Pundits Make Some Noise About Patent Reform
I'm starting a hangout where 3-5 of us will review our progress, etc. Good idea?
Here is the idea:

I'd like to host a private G+ hangout with 3-5 people once a week for a month.

At the start of the month, we would each join with one project that we're just starting or are already working on.

Over the next few weeks, we would meet using a private G+ hangout, talk about our progress on the project, offer feedback and generally help each other.

I'm glad that you like my solution, but please note that, as another commenter said, it's a buggier version of the original regex I thought of ("^(dict|here)+$"), which I think should work but doesn't, at least not in Python.

I suspect it's because the match group is being replaced with the last match rather than added as another group, but it will work as a state machine, and is pretty much equivalent to the backtracking example in the article (although with much less code, and no memoization).

That said, I think that the reason interviewers ask about functions for which we have well-known implementations is to see whether or not you know how they work and/or could implement them yourself. Nobody will reasonably expect you to implement your own string comparison routine, but you could score points if, for example, you said Boyer-Moore for string searching rather than the naive iterative version.

My wife is doing graduate work in Old English; most of her assignments to her students have a strongly quantitative nature: did you or did you not translate this correctly? Her peers, however, are in more murky territory. They study things like Gender and Being and Ideas of Progress in Post-Shakespeare England: strongly quantitative work. Hearing them talk at parties, the most common conversation is one of how they approach grading, being what rough heuristics they use. That some clever, overworked person is grading a essay means no more than having a heuristic markov process applied to establish some value for a given text but poorly owing to exhaustion and disinterest and arbitrary bias.

If we absolutely must peg a number to a person's work then we might as well have a computer do it reproducibly. I can't imagine there will be many University humanities departments happy to adopt such "inhuman" methods: best to wear actual humans down to nothing.
The LED's should last alot longer than that. The problem is going to be the switch-mode power supply. I'd hold off on these things until their price drops a bit, and until we have an idea how long the PS will last. Has anyone done a teardown on these yet?

The CFL's I've bought from Costco are lasting less than a year for me, so I'm reluctant to start using them until they have the bugs worked out.
The 'fr' unit is "fraction of available space" and comes from the w3c proposal. I believe the second example is incorrect in that the 1fr column should be 7md wide.
As long as it actually lasts that long (or has a credible guarantee) -- I've had plenty of CFL bulbs die within a year or less, which has made me wary of these sorts of amortized cost calculations.

What bugs me about adding contents, strange result codes, and all of these things that "are in the spec even if they're only implemented sporadically" is that it's programming as if interoperability didn't matter.

It's almost as bad as the SOAP implementation in ASP.NET.
I don't agree. "Just because" is no answer. And your first point is an opinion, not a fact, your last point is a different issue.
Bug rate isn't the only consideration when deciding when to trim a code base. It's usually not even the best one.

"Right now, Congress can send me a bill that would make it easier for entrepreneurs to patent a new product or idea—because we can't give innovators in other countries a big leg up when it comes to opening new businesses and creating new jobs."

Sigh. He's going in completely the wrong direction. If anything patents (at least software ones) should be harder to get, not easier. Obama seems clueless about this, but I don't really blame him for not realizing this. He's probably just bending his ear to the wrong people/lobbyists.

And what's with that nonsense about innovators in other countries. What does that have to do with the US patent system? Is he saying people are not building start-ups right now because they can't get patents? If anything they can't hire enough people because they have to spend them on "patent infringement lawsuits", and some of them are even leaving the country to start their businesses there, because of these lawsuits. Making it easier and faster for patent trolls to get patents will only make this worse. Obama actually sounds like he's reciting someone else's line here.
Clojure Wrappers - Functions in the Wild
I do not understand what you are trying to achieve by a comment like that, I get my clients through personal recommendations and other means... I never said I was the biggest partner or made any claims. I however am like thousands of other small Microsoft partners and these are simply my experiences. That being said, I am not trying to promote my company anywhere here (or even on the blog), and do not really see how it is relevant. All points from the blog post still stand.
What about the startup community connected to the oil industry? I know several people working at all kinds of startups building neat things for the large oil companies and by all accounts that is a pretty vibrant scene.
I feel that Microsoft are really screwing partners... the new hosted Exchange solution costs less and offers more than any hosted solution from any partner I have seen - I simply do not know why any partner will want to offer their own hosted Exchange going forward.

In simpler words, partners that offer hosted Exchange no longer add any value to the customer experience or to Microsoft's business other than as a sales channel. Given the direction SaaS is going, into massively centralized clouds, this shouldn't surprise anyone at all.

It doesn't feel like Microsoft is being predatory here, I'd say this is simply an instance of a larger market force acting on everyone in the space. A vendor who makes a hosted software solution is either going to host it themselves in a ginormous and expensive cloud or host it in a cloud utility like Amazon or Google. There simply isn't extra fat in the "supply chain" to support an intermediary host.

This explains why Microsoft's own solution is cheaper and better. It has to be. My conjecture is that the only reason it has taken so long to be cheaper and better is because of internal politics over hosting their own Office competing with desktop license revenues.

You get the features of Linux with the ability to run commercial content creation apps like Flash, Photoshop and Cubase. It's very win-win for someone who does a lot of different kinds of work. And since all the shortcuts use Command, the Control key gives you free Emacs keybindings in every text field.

I was only able to give up on Mac OS X when I decided to give up on Adobe software thanks to Adobe's abysmal customer service. Now that I don't need to be able to run Photoshop, I just use Linux.

I wouldn't say "is equivalent to"; rather "is a form of". While it is a dynamic programming technique, unless it's specified people tend to think of the bottom-up approach to be what's implied by "dynamic", with memoization being a special case. Yes, it's semantics, but I think that where the GP was coming from.

Black Hat 2011: "Attacking Client Side JIT Compilers"
My gut reaction is that well-made typefaces for digital use, which are often designed with hinting in mind, would lose their benefits. For most fonts, though, it shouldn't make a difference whether antialiasing or subpixel rendering is done vertically or horizontal, and I know you can manually specify your subpixel information in Linux.

I fully agree. Hopefully libguestfs support will be added to GParted soon; as changing the partition layout and resizing the file systems within these partitions is usually a hand-in-hand process, it should be controllable from a single tool.
It's quite buggy though, e.g. with many tabs opened the "open new tab" button disappears or that you can't switch easily between thumbnails/no-thumbnails view, etc. Hope the good guys and girls at Opera will take notice of the OP and will work on some improvements in this area.

PS. also worth noting that Opera allows for easily grouping of tabs in the manner similar to the one described in OP (no naming though, fortunately (in my opinion at least)).
I mean the first "powered by minutebox" link on the page. It opens minutebox in the same iframe. Well, technically the links works. And yes, this is Chrome/Windows 7.
I'm already doing this with Opera, and I think Opera has it figured out a bit better, too. The curious thing here is, I guess, that I not only don't have an Apple Cinema display, I don't have a wide-screen display at all, and I even pivot my monitor by 90 degrees (the one I browse the web on.) I've made the experience that having a tall browser window is much more useful than having a wide browser window.

See the screenshot: http://imgur.com/3lFAN

I like the big pictures on the tab buttons — gives me a visual idea of what I'm clicking on. I also like the tab stacks Opera implemented a while ago, even though I still have a couple of peeves with 'em.

One thing he's totally right about, though: address bars are largely wasted screen space. I'd like to only see them on newly opened tabs or so…
Yeah, I actually completely realized that after i programmed the first one, i'll be sure to change that asap.

Thanks! In the midst of an interesting and related problem now actually. I'll post here when our project is finished :)
I used to work at Chick-fil=A before I started working for a startup and we would get people that would start paying for the people behind them in the drive thru and the next car would pull up and we'd say: Hey you had a...(whatever they had)..and the car behind you has already taken care of it. They would look shocked, smile, and say well we will get the car behind us. And this would go on for 10 or more cars.

It was really awesome. We also had people come through and ask for food for a homeless guy that sits on the off ramp on our interstate exit, and Chick-fil-A would give them food to take to the homeless guy and I'm sure many more situations occur all across the country that make peoples lives better. I think there is a thread of hope in humanity.

There's people arguing, of course, that that's really poor usability, because you can't see what you can do. I guess it's a matter of taste as much as anything, and it's probably more of a power-user thing.)

I agree. The article isn't really arguing with A/B testing, it's arguing with hill-climbing. In other words, it's not the questions that are the problem, it's what you do with the answers.

HN is (at this time) programmer-centric. It ought to be obvious that you cannot design the best program on a large scale by optimizing functions. You have to start with a good design and then relentlessly optimize the bits. From time to time you have to consider larger redesigns that would throw all your previous optimizations right out.

Web/UX design is roughly analogous. Customer conversion, for example, is a minefield. You might have two archetypical personae, Alice and Bob. If you start with a design that appeals to the Bobs and the Alices equally, a small change (sexist image?) might alienate the Alices but increase the appeal to the Bobs. If the immediate gain outweighs the loss, it looks good.

But further gains run out of steam when you have all the Bobs but no Alices: You have reached a local maxima as you state so economically. Had you tried a different optimization that marginally increased appeal to both the Alices and the Bobs, you might be able to continue to acquire both the Alices and the Bobs over time, far outstripping the Bob-centric improvements that alienate Alice.

But you'll never know if you went with the biggest immediate gain.
