It would be familiar to anyone who has read IOCCC submissions or K&R, I should think.

But it's quite surprising for just about everyone else, I think. Does any other language allow this? I think JavaScript allows some syntactic contortions, but I don't remember offhand if it permits this particular one.

Seriously??!

Nurses, care-takers: Unemployment rate = 5.9%, with 1.2 million (already trained) people unemployed

Welders, electricians: That would be either the construction sector (Unemployment rate 13.6%) or the manufacturing sector (Unemployment rate 9.2%).

Re-training will help some people, but isn't immediate and will never help the majority.

There seems to be a weird view that manufacturing in the US will be dead in the future because it is struggling now. It's probably worth noting that rich, first world countries like Germany have huge manufacturing sectors, employing large number of people, and yet have to compete directly with countries with low wages. It isn't clear at all why some people believe the US is fated to lose its manufacturing sector but Germany isn't.
It's more amusing for multi-dimensional arrays:

a[x][y] = y[x[a]]
a[x][y][z] = z[y[x[a]]]

and so on.

I really like the idea of modeling viral content after real epidemics.

Some questions:

What's the advantage of a limited preview? Do you plan to gain critical mass, say in Washington, then open it up only there? Similar to a facebook style growth pattern.

Why did you decide no downvote? Every social bookmarking site I can think of has the option.

I don't like the fact that I can't see stuff for my area without logging in. I usually lurk for a long time at a site before I decide to join and contribute.

Why don't you just grab my location from my IP address? Why do I have to turn it on in FireFox?

Your finding the articles less interesting could be a function of you becoming more knowledgable yourself, therefore there is less "low hanging fruit" with regards to new knowledge for you to acquire.

Might be a sign that it's time for you to start posting some well-writen commentary yourself ;)
Physics is far more empirical than economics, which is actually saying something, considering how little we actually know about physics.

Economics is more like politics, if politicians were any good at math.
Ok, the "interesting" thing is this expression is that 5 is accepted as a variable identifier although it does not meet the requirements to be one. The fact that the expression evaluate to a result that turns to be correct is not so relevant.

He's right. Balancing a budget once, while already neck deep in debt won't fix all the problems, but accelerating jobs and consumption, in such a way that creates more profits, would eventually help balance the budget and put the economy back on track.
To first order approximation, C is the language with no magic. That's its most beloved quality. That gets you really far, until you get creamed by all the subtle magic in pointers and arrays.
Let me be cynical for a moment: name change means a search for the company name won't bring up quite as many results covering their security failures earlier this year.

That's what we do, using the Reply-to header, in case people hit reply. But the From header (which is what users see) still has to be one of ours. This is a requirement of SendGrid, AWS SES, etc., and it'd look pretty spammy otherwise.

Dude mkelly has known why a[5] and 5[a] were the same damn thing since before there was an HN. Stop making bad assumptions, he's telling a true story. I'm sorry to see him leave just as I realized he was here. Oh well.

He's not the only one saying these things. It's just how it is. After awhile, what was is no more. HN stood longer than most.

That's absurd. I don't know how much you code or how good you are at coding, but if that's how you feel, the solution is to start coding more. Right now.

Since you're in EE, I'm sure you have have the basics of coding down. Even if you're kinda shaky now and don't know any of the hot stuff a lot of startups are using (Ruby/Python/etc), you can absolutely get to the point that startups would want you in a year of playing around on the side. Once you know the basics of coding, it's not all that hard.

I'm not sure what the market will be like in a year, but right now everyone is desperate for talent. You don't know how to seek out such employment? HN has a jobs section. Almost every startup you use has a jobs link in their footer, and they're all hiring. Check out GitHub jobs, StackOverflow jobs, 37signals job board, etc. Get yourself a little bit of exposure via open source contributions, blogging about technical things, Hacker News, etc. and they'll come to you.

As for student loans, though startups pay less, they still pay pretty high salaries, especially now when all the companies have cash and competition for talent is insane. As long as you keep living fairly cheaply (which can still be a couple steps up from a dorm, but may involve sharing housing, especially if you end up somewhere expensive like the Bay Area), I'm sure you can get an offer that would allow you to live and pay your loan payments. And then you're actually decreasing how much you owe instead of just pushing it off.

If you really want to go to grad school, go to grad school, but if you want to work for a startup but feel like you "can't", take steps to make sure you can.
I'd like to see a serious discussion about the possibility that western economies reached their maximum capacity for employment. Probably the level of production for goods and services will hit a plateau (even if we increase the number of products to infinity, we don't have the time to consume all of them, so the market will reject them), while the productivity (production per unit of workforce) naturally tends to increase. I think there are serious sociological implications.
This is by far the clearest response to the core of what Cuban is aiming at, and thanks for that.

I am interested in drilling down deeper on your comment about Fannie & Freddy. I don't view their failure as a criticism of the idea of loaning for the public good. I definitely view their failure as a lack of oversight combined with perverse incentive structures and a truly mind-boggling denial on the risk of loans.

But what befell Fannie and Freddy also blew up Wall Street. So the deeper underlying question is if there are people out there who are better at assessing loans who the government could use as intermediaries for taking advantage of the low credit available to the gov? (yes that's predicated on this being feasible at all in the first place, which i don't take for granted)
This works just as well in dynamically typed language by using your language's version of .getClass() or instanceof.
It would just happen at runtime instead of compile time.

It only wouldn't work in very weakly typed languages like ... assembler?
I agree that it's disappointing that the article didn't mention reddit, but the compete.com data doesn't exactly support the notion of digg users flocking there:

To be honest, I feel the same way, but maybe there's a good explanation for the relative decline of "quality".

I think I started lurking HN back in 2007 (which I also believe is the first year of HN). I remember feeling a euphoric sense of being overwhelmed with great content from knowledgeable people and articles. I learned a lot about start ups. I learned a lot about programming. I learned a lot about partaking and consuming thoughtful commentary in a semi-anonymous setting.

But you know what? All of that content is still here, in different formats. The audience is bigger and so there tends to be more mainstream stuff on HN now, particularly around politics. But I think the biggest change is in myself. I've read the same stuff about lean startups at least 100 times now rehashed in different ways. Even though I've never raised money from a VC before, every time I read something on HN about it, I feel like I've been through the process dozens of times. Every 37signals blog post that gets submitted seems like a rehash of the last one. So most of the submitted content around those topics seem like old-hat.

At some point, when you continue to consume the content from the same sources for years on end, you're going to see more repeat episodes and you'll have fewer stimulating moments. That's just the nature of it - and I think it's just as important to recognize that we're transient individuals. Your probably a different person now with a higher capacity and understanding and that's probably in part thanks to HN.
> I am at a loss as to what you would upgrade to now

There are upgrades to be had: HSR (where it makes sense), more modern air traffic control, intelligent transport systems, multimodal facilities, high-speed internet, power generation (green or otherwise), smart grid, flood contro, seismic refits, etc.

But we don't even need to discuss upgrading the infrastructure, most of what we have now is subpar because of decades of deferred or non-existent maintenance. We will need to spend billions just to get our existing systems up to par,
The president and Congress must recognize that an AA-plus country, to remain AA-plus, must focus on growth, not debt reduction, in the short term.

+1

I tweeted this a month ago: Dear America: A lack of growth, NOT spending caused your debt problem. Please Fix ASAP KTHX.[1]

That's a little simplistic (the joys of 140 chars). Of course spending caused problems, but it wasn't spending alone - it was spending combined with a lack of growth (and indeed negative growth at times).

What is more (and isn't explicitly called out in this article) is that economic growth can go a huge way to fixing the debt problem.

Growth->lower unemployment->less spending on welfare

Growth->higher tax receipts->increased debt repayment

I've read that the plastic chair back feels good at first, but gets uncomfortable. I seem to recall something about H.M. listing it as rated for three hours (?), making it a "task" chair rather than a "work" chair (if I understand the nomenclature). What's your experience been with it?
I didn't know what to except when I clicked on this post. But as soon as I landed on the page I started scrolling up&down, left&right; eventually "the thing" showed itself to me. The concept is neat; i must say.
I'm sorry, but I'm happy to get voted down for my tone for once. I remember a time when one could assume that people around HN had a basic CS education and the community didn't get fascinated by stack overflow threads about how C works because we were all thinking about crazy interesting things.

I think anyone who says that people don't have a right to miss that and assumes that there is no problem is part of the problem.

At that point you're left with an underpowered desktop experience. It obviously depends on what work you're doing, but I'm happy with my desktop machine with 12 cores and 24 gigabytes of memory and wouldn't switch to a laptop for anything in the world. I have my personal MacBook Pro I can use when working from home or when travelling but it's definitely a second-class experience. The downside is that a high-end dual-processor Xeon and a compatible motherboard costs a big chunk of Fog Creek's whole per-programmer equipment budget. If you're working on web apps, it probably wouldn't be worth it.
If you delete/change '<script' and '</script>' you pretty much have that covered.

I think that it's general knowledge that a[x] is a + (x * sizeof a). The idea that a[x] could be reversed to x[a] is probably not common knowledge though. I don't necessarily think that a[x] = x[a] would be "C 101." I've certainly never come across any C code that uses this property and I can't really think think of any good uses for this property that don't end up ruining the readability of the code. And in general, it seems a rather useless property that, as others have stated, is just a side-effect.

I could just as easily claim that HN has 'degenerated' if someone posts a Stack Overflow post about what the /o flag does on Perl regexes. Or maybe there will be a Stack Overflow post about how substr('abc', 1, 1) == substr('abc', 0, 1) in Oracle because it helpfully translates the 0 index to a 1 index. I mean, it's right here in the Oracle docs[1]:

When position is 0 (zero), then it is treated as 1.

It's Oracle 101!

UI would be a bit friendlier if;
1) The changes were more responsive. The delay is too long when scrolling and hovering over an element - should be around 100ms or so. If it takes time to load the content, show some visual signal (loading... or similar) that state has changed.
2) You could mouse over and click on each of the items.
It seems that the API that this is using has been rate limited.
I'm rather skeptical that there are many interesting classes of information for which geography is a good filter. I don't read my local community newspaper because it's boring. On a larger scale reddit/r/australia is more interesting to me.

For most types of content I just want the best in the world and location is irrelevant. If you took the best from just my area I can imagine the quality being way below that and I live in a good area!

The best thing about the internet is how we now instantly have access to the best content and people that exist on earth. It's no longer based on who you happen to be lucky enough to live near, bump into etc...
I was evaluating 5 + a to mean int + int, because the pointer is stored in an int. Maybe I should have just stated, "It's been awhile since I've work with pointers." Most dynamic languages don't have a concept of pointers, or at least not pointer math.
Definitely worth hacking just for scummvm!! I have it on pretty much any of my electronic devices.

I think you mean "pointer type", not "variable". 0xblah could very well a be valid pointer value.

Anyway, Array subscripting (brackets) is not an operator in C. It is just syntactic sugar. This is different from C++ (but even in C++, C compatibility is maintained for primitives) .

NYPD's Social Media Unit Will Track Criminals On Facebook, Twitter
I have mixed feelings on this. I want to like it because it seems like a good idea, but then the more I think about it, there doesn't seem to be that much practical use for the service. The way I see this, kids who need phone dialing that simplistic would be too young to use it.

I think this would work better as an IM/voice chat program aimed at the 7-11yr old crowd-a way for them to easily chat with other kids, when they happen to be online (and maybe a "voice mail" type system), from an approved list of friends their parents have added.

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I don't like the idea of kids and phones - not that talking to Grandma across the country is bad or anything. It's just that I don't think a young child has any business using a phone (voice chat, etc.) without first obtaining permission to do so, even if it's safe. So I would either a: make the call for her or 2: supervise while she dials. I mostly feel this way because kids tend to obsess over things and so a child with free reign over a big yellow "call" button would get annoying to others. By the time my kid is old enough to pick up the phone and call someone whenever she wants to (i.e. has a basic understanding of telephone etiquette and respect for others' time), basic phone usage just isn't a challenge at that age.

Add to this the fact that your average land-line or cell phone service includes local calling, as well as nationwide long distance at a fixed rate and it makes it hard to justify the cost of buying Bumble credits just for the ease of connectivity.

Would be great to animate such a graph over time and see how social circles change over the years.

Also I think theres other fascinating data in email. I'd like to run over my inbox archives and for example extract topics of interest that occupied my mind at certain times.

And then later it passes that return value to some function that deallocates the block, by calling free(((char *)p) - n).

On more than one occasion, we would be approached by "youths" (one of them wasn't even that young) who were clearly drug dealers. One of my brothers confirmed this to me. The smell of marijuana smoke was another tell.
