This, along with Chrome Web Store, are the first major deviances from Chrome the HTML5 browser into Chrome the platform. It's exciting but also unfortunate that we're starting to see a divergence here, when other browsers are unlikely to pick up NaCl for some time (if at all) and the Chrome Web Store being entirely incompatible.

git is deep. And you can do the same thing using different steps and different number of steps. I think this post provided a good tip on how to go about merging remote changes into your local. If one finds that git pull requires a lot of cleanup activity, git fetch and git merge is a good way to go..
While at first glace i'd think it competes with Yelp and Angie's List, it does have a different angle. It will be interesting to see how it develops.

Ultimately, word of mouth has a very powerful influence on which service providers people choose - but more likely from people you trust as well.

Having said that, not only is the rating of the service provider important, but also the quality of the relationship of the viewer to the rater.
The best implementation of concurrency that I've used: http://www.iolanguage.com/scm/io/docs/IoGuide.html#Concurren...
Not OCaml per se, but at least one F# library makes liberal and very effective use of custom operators: FParsec, Stephan Tolksdorf's parser combinator library (http://www.quanttec.com/fparsec/reference/primitives.html). Of course, FParsec is adapted from the Haskell Parsec library, so maybe that just makes your point for you!
And do you also add the space before the paren when you declare a function? I ask because a conditional block is often closer syntactically to a function definition than it is to a function invocation, yet I hardly ever see anyone put a space before the paren when defining a function.
I don't think that my email is only a Tier 3. I have half of my online communications in Gmail and would be very upset if it were compromised.

Ask HN: How to handle this weird startup environment?
The problem is I like the product and think it could be successful. So, how would you go about creating an option two (which I realize is dependent on the guys writing the checks)?
I think they might also see NaCl as helping drive Chrome's growth, when suddenly a browser can do cool stuff that other browsers can't.

EDIT: I'm old enough to remember the browser wars, but I really like most of the trends that Google/Chrome have introduced, from auto-updates to revving the JS engine to fallback-capable SPDY.
I agree. I toyed with putting it in Tier 2, but ended up just leaving it in 3 (since it logically makes sense there) and using the security trick I use for Tier 2 to make it safer.
Did you watch College Inc. too? Good documentary.
I wish that was why I didn't know my password. The real reason is that 1Password manages that part of my life for me so all my passwords are long randomly generated strings that I don't know.

Ask HN: What’s the deal with networking?
I’m young and in a big city. A few days ago, a friend introduced me (at a friendly tech meetup) to a VP at a big, hip company — who turned out to be a truly laid-back and interesting guy. (If either of you is reading this — Hey!)

I told him about my company, he talked about his, the guys I was with joined in to talk about the industry. Cool beans.

Today my friend asked if I followed up. I had not.

Clearly, I am no master of “networking”. I’ve had business cards thrust upon me, but I’m not sure that I’ve ever seen good (non-sleazy) networking out in the real world.

I’m curious to know who out there has stories about networking — the good and the bad — and maybe some thoughts for a guy who’s more used to holding a keyboard than a business card.
I am genuinely curious. What is it that a 150K developer can usually do for the average (CRUD) product that a 65K engineer cannot do?

Note: I am an amateur-programmer, so I really have no idea.
Actually, the US government is helping them out.

Guaranteed loans? I'll take 3 please.
Could someone more familiar with the effort comment on whether Google realistically solved the security and trust problems inherent in the approach? I'm assuming that

while(1) fork();

is somehow blocked, but native code is a bonanza of attack vectors.
Funny, because for a long time executives used BlackBerry devices to avoid litigation hold/e-discovery considerations.

BBM's are popular with certain types of "entrepreneurs" for the same reason that Nextel/Boost direct connect was -- they are difficult/impossible to intercept.
Nice writeup. I've been using a system like this for years, having reached many of the same conclusions.

The only wrinkle is when sites require you to use capital letters, special characters, restrict password length, etc.

Agoincom
I am not sure about these, as I am not from the Ruby side. That said I am considering to talk with fibervolt.com / linode.com , to see if they can get this done for me.

NoSQL databases are very new , and the application I am planning to use it (MongoDB) can easily run in multiple terabytes a month, as of today I haven't come across anyone who has used it at that scale. Just FYI..so if this something mission critical, do your due diligence on taking the nosql approach.. I chose it because I had no other choice, as I cannot have a preset schema.
How is it at all interesting if it isn't a fair comparison? What you are suggesting isn't what you are defending here: you're suggesting that we compare two entirely different scenarios and then defending it by saying it is worth doing an entirely different thought experiment.

(For the record, I'm appalled that anyone would consider anything that could remotely be called "web censorship" as a response, I just don't think you're making any sense here).
Let's hope this doesn't devolve into something similar to the madness that was ActiveX.
I've done this transition myself (from being a manager in a 300+ staff IT business (back) to a Senior SysAdmin) & when I left that Company, I deliberately got current training in the area of technical IT that I wanted to return to. I spent ~$15k on various courses (some Redhat, Oracle, VMWare & Microsoft courses) relevant to my desired new career as an IT technologist (in Systems) again, not a 'people pusher'.

I then updated my resume downplaying my Managerial time & emphasising my new & current technical skillsets. I then re-did my LinkedIn profile & network and contacted some people I'd worked with or had worked with/for me and even did some training work.

All successful to get my back into a senior technology role & I've never looked back. What's more, I get paid more now than I did as a C/B-level manager & I enjoy the work far more too.

I say, "Plan it out & go for it!". The world doesn't need more managers, but it sure needs more high-tech & highly skilled workers.
That's a very succinct way of putting it. Google is smelling more like Microsoft every day.
fork is not available under NaCl
http://code.google.com/p/nativeclient/issues/detail?id=1239
This is actually really cool. It is essentially "safe" activex. I wish MS would have done something like this rather than silverlight.
One mistake I made: after the first traversal over the linked-list the character in the head node of the remaining list is not necessarily the first non-repeated character. Consider the string "aba" for example. However the second traversal will be over a shorter list... So this approach might get you somewhere :-)
The Native Client paper[1] was published in 2009. The main reason it took so long to be officially released is that it underwent a lot of scrutiny by various security researchers[2], through the Google bounty program. In fact, NaCl has been shipping with Chrome all along; it just needed a flag to enable it (--enable-nacl).

You should read their research paper for interesting insights.

Thanks for your perspective! Right now, my life is pretty calm - not too much drama & plenty of time for new projects. Maybe I'll dive in for the fun/experience.

Cheers!

I don't think a "superstar" engineer would work for the average (CRUD) product to begin with.
I was somewhat irritated when Microsoft was pulling stuff like this with IE. But on the other hand, if they ever do make PNaCl, I will gladly disregard every other browser and target all my personal projects specifically for Chrome. The unfortunate thing is that I haven't seen any news or heard of any progress being made on PNaCl in a long time.
It's on my to-do list. (After implementing a disaster recovery plan, cleaning up after an intrusion, and a half a dozen more important things.)

Meantime being careful about what I close does a decent job, and I don't have to maintain a proxy server.
When I look back at my switch from MySpace to Facebook though, it took a long time before I fully made the switch. I made a Facebook account, logged on, didn't find too many people, so I went back to MySpace.

A couple of months later and Facebook kept getting better and MySpace kept declining mostly due to the spammy nature of people's horrible HTML tastes (read: Geocities).

Now Facebook seems like a similar case to me. The games were getting spammy, the quizzes my friends took to find out which character from Sesame Street they were are were getting spammy, the layout kept changing every week, and I kept finding annoying bugs.

I expect the same story to be repeated. Google Plus is the next iteration on social networking. They learn from the previous' mistakes (just like Facebook learned not to let people add HTML to decorate their profiles). Google Plus is imo a more polished, more thoughtful iteration on Facebook. SO I am not too worried.

Google has invested a lot in this move, and I hope and trust they will continue to improve it for a long time.

I just switched to the Chrome beta stream, and NaCl still seems to be disabled by default. Is this what others are seeing?

(Chrome 14.0.835.35 beta-m on Windows)
I laughed at both your initial response and IsaacSchlueter's comment. Valid points from both.

It would have been a little odd for me to say "Nice use case for Python" considering the original post was about Node, and specifically said they tried writing it in Python but "writing asynchronous code in Python is like using your keys to open a beer bottle." That also made me laugh.

In fact, the original article specifically talked about why Node.js was a good choice for this use case. I agree. Not that you couldn't do it in other ways. Erlang would also be a good choice here, I'm sure. There is always more than one way to do most anything. Still, and in spite of the fact that Node might be getting too much hype, it is an excellent tool for this type of async need.
It's been done: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2013666
The fact that it's anything like ActiveX is what scares me. I'm not looking forward to further fragmentation of web browser capabilities.
I'm sure you can make the necessary adjustments pretty easily in that case too. Maybe have a system where you make the first character capitalized and put an exclamation mark at the end, or something.
Out of curiosity, how long did it take to add 1118 people by hand?
That was tried before - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2013666
EMAIL deserves to be TIER 1 in the regards that if one breaks this layer of security, they are often able to gain access to most anything, including financial institutions.
ActiveX's downfall was a lack of security and relatively high complexity (the two are often related). Google, so far, has had quite a good run in those areas.

But you're right, it does keep out the "guys who are looking to collect a fat paycheck working 35 hours/week." I didn't know that that was a problem, though; I haven't met anyone like this. I have met people who prefer a steady paycheck right now because they're not in a position to do otherwise. They're definitely open to doing so (or founding a company) down the road.

I'd like to point out there were not a lot of people willing to take the leap and join a startup ~4 years ago. There are many more founders around now, both technical and business, and they're not a limiting factor in the startup reaction to the degree they were four years ago.[1] Now I'd say it's leaning toward technical employees, and the employee equity pool may reflect that by growing from 20 to 25, or even 30%.

[1] I'm eyeballing, and judging from hanging out in the valley. Sam Altman said technical founders were the limiting factor in startups about four years ago in startup school.
Great job getting on with it. I look forward to seeing if/how you modify your design and implementation.

As I was browsing through your JS code to figure out how you end up positioning the words (vertical, horizontal or diagonal), I found the "naughtyWords" list to be hilarious. It was immediately clear to me that the developer inhabits the UK.

Congratulations on your success!
DNA discovered in meteorites – Light Years
I'm amazed that an XKCD comic has inspired at least 3 front-page articles on HN. I think passwords are one of those things that, even in the tech world, people know that they should do better at but just haven't gotten around to it yet. That certainly includes me, and I think I may switch to the system outlined in this post.
I would've gone with GactiveX, which is a bit more pronounceable. :)

In what way is gaining or losing the spread "random"?

Buyers pay the offer, sellers the ask. If you want to save the spread you can leave a resting order and wait for someone to take you out but you have no guarantee of a fill (or at least a timely one).
"problem number 1 with Facebook games : they are spam machines!"

Really?

I remember when I first joined Facebook, and my News Feed came to be quickly dominated by Zynga items, and my notifications came to be dominated by reminders to see how fast I can type A-Z.

I remember last summer after I joined Facebook as an intern, when the head of the newly-created Games team announced that they would collapse all the Zynga notifications into "Bob and Sally are playing Farmville."

Now, I don't remember the last time I saw any Facebook game spam.

I hear people say this a lot, but is it true?

(Just checked my last 300 feed entries. There was one notification about someone beginning to play Jeopardy. Spam machine indeed.)
"Meanwhile, complaints about Google cited APIs that had been shut down or were missing."

So the quality of Google APIs is based, in part, on missing ones? I am not sure I understand. I can understand that API integration can cost time, and if Google decides to terminate an API project then that work is basically thrown away. But that doesn't reflect on the quality of Google's APIs, it reflects on the flakiness of Google as an API provider.

Also, "voting down" their API quality for not having APIs that the developers want hardly seems fair either.

P.S. Using API so many times in a comment is probably a great start for a tongue-twister.
Indeed - having different compiled versions of your code go over the wire to the client simply because they're on a different architecture seems so... backward.
Some good thoughts here.

Perhaps it would be better to have a more obscure suffix for Tier 1 passwords. Otherwise, if a password is compromised, a motivated attacker wouldn't have much trouble guessing your other Tier 1 passwords.

"wheatgrass makes octagrams in paypal" leads trivially to "wheatgrass makes octagrams in gmail" and "wheatgrass makes octagrams in #{bank_of_choice}".
With Mozilla explicitly announcing they won't support it (and we all know how Microsoft will react) - I hope NaCl goes on to die a silent death.

Except perhaps in chromebooks. I could see how they'd be useful there.

Google+ Song
ActiveX was also the first thing that popped into my mind. However, the whole ActiveX-lesson learnt everyone, not just Microsoft, how bad things can go if the security issues isn't solved when releasing new technology and I think Google has spent a lot of resources on it.
My main concern is how this is going to affect us developers in, let say, next five years. Are we going to need to write even more browser specific code when other browsers also will start to support these native clients?

> I.e., if an HFT pushes accenture up from $0.05 to $1.00 and sells at $35, following which accenture eventually goes up to $40, they run the risk of having their $1.00 buy trade broken. Then they are stuck with a short sale at $35, while the price of accenture went up to $40.

Shouldn't both trades be broken, though? Breaking just one sounds like the kind of behaviour that would be a strong disincentive to trade at all in the first place.
I looked at RVM a few weeks back while trying to set up a Rails app and was so frustrated I went outside and kicked a kitty.

I am glad to see a project that should restore some of my sanity. Good work.
I disagree with password schemes like this. Every website should have a unique password. Sharing a password across websites based on their "tier", opens you up to an entire tier getting cracked if any website is compromised. That's inexcusable.

You should not know most of your passwords.

You should only need to remember one password, the one that opens up your password vault and gives you access to the other massively strong passwords that you never need to even type, let alone memorize. With tools like 1password and lastpass, this is doable today.

Also? Many banking websites have really shitty password restrictions that prevent truly strong passwords, especially if you use things humans can remember. Wells Fargo has a 14 character max. Vanguard has a 10 character max (though they say it's 50, it's not). Discover has a 10 character max. I'm sure there are others just as bad.
I think you're confusing your logical and physical, or I'm misunderstanding you.

Moving your mouse happens over the physical text and sets the selection endpoints. Then everything that's logically (as opposed to physically) between those endpoints is highlighted. Your "I expected" diagram is showing the text physically between the endpoints, not the text logically between them...
Oh I missed the 18 months part. I wonder if she meant 80k per year or per 18 months, because if it's the latter then that is pretty low actually.

I guess if you're a YC startup then you can attract good talent based on the brand (which is enviable.)
That's was just an experiment to get focus on the download button...

Any thoughts on the Apps?

Note about Email in Tier 3 -- it's logically placed in Tier 3, but actually has the same security mechanism as Tier 1. The reason it's placed in Tier 3 is that if it's compromised, it at least doesn't directly compromise Tier 1.

Ask PG: Create an Ideas tab
Somebody asked this question about a "Startups" tab the day you announced that many YC companies would be launching this week. How about the more generic version above?

Benefits:

(1) People genuinely want to discuss their ideas, but not necessarily build them right away.
(2) No more rehashing of the same topic ("your idea is the Groupon for X? Well look at this discussion from 6 months ago).
(3) Sometimes we forget that we do this because we enjoy it.
Funny how virtually zero successful startups have followed your model of paying people 100k+ at the beginning (first 1-2 years, pre-series A, or pre-profitability.) Probably just a coincidence though.
I think that there a countless answers. I wrote about this exact topic some months back.
