I've used nanoc more than a few times. On seeing this, after first I thought "Why would the community need this??"

However...

I dig the "controller"-based preprocessing and, especially, that the served pages are then processed through the typical host of rendering engines.

This should feel very familiar to anyone who has done any Rails or Sinatra.

High marks for obviousness! I may have to try this out!
I don't get why they didn't produce the Switchblade [1] instead of this expensive overpowered monstrosity.

Good luck to these schools. Google still needs to learn how to do customer service (do they believe in it yet?), and if there's any constant in the universe, it's that nothing is constant (ie, shit breaks).
FlashDevelop is the IDE though, the important bit is the Flex SDK which is Java based and runs on virtually anything. Write your code in TextMate or Sublime Text or vi or emacs or whatever and then compile it with the Flex SDK.

FlashDevelop is great, but it isn't an essential piece any more than Eclipse is an essential piece for building Java apps.
> But in hardware at least, the x86 registers have been found quite limiting on software and performance.

While the doubled register count makes a big difference - especially with the new x86-64 calling convention - register renaming and hidden registers do a lot on x86 to mitigate the lack of general purpose registers. You don't need more than 8 registers to get the benefits of having more than 8.
Meh, I didn't find it that great. I thought the reading list was great but 'skin deep generalizations' is equivalent to 'high level summaries' in my opinion.
That's not true anymore.

--fast is mostly eliminated now, with all features either on by default or replaced by better compilation.

Math-like dispatches go through different dispatch logic optimized for Fixnums and Floats, this is true. If possible, they dispatch directly rather than dynamically. But they do this under global "isFixnumModified" and "isFloatModified" guards, to match Ruby behavior. The extra check did not significantly add to the overhead of math operations.

Of course with invokedynamic, all dispatch is done the same way, and indy optimizes as well as our old tricks in both the unmodified and modified cases. Yay invokedynamic!
that's what ugly people say :D

Worth pointing out that until this announcement, Razer wasn't a PC manufacturer. Barring a concept laptop they showed at CES, Razer's only products have been mice, keyboards, gamepads, and headsets.
The term hacker as someone who fiddles with technology out of curiosity predates the negative term for a malicious computer user. I believe it even predates computers.
It's not a bad way to discriminate between people based on how much they think about technology. The less informed only see the term when it appears in a bad news headline. Others know there is more that one meaning.

At Hacker Dojo we have experienced this first hand. Once we had a tv crew show up asking about the arrest of some Anonymous members. Nothing at all to do with us. There have been a couple of times we wished the name was the Mountain View Yacht Club.
Yeah - the vast majority of x86 assembly written today is written to take advantage of specialized instructions that aren't available in this VM.
An exhibit of his work is scheduled to start (if it hasn't already) at the SF MOMA.

A friend of mine worked as a curator for its stop in Korea and it was pretty cool. You can tell how much the original iPod and iMac were inspired by his work.

I certainly agree. As an implementer of Ruby, I've wanted type-hinting escape hatches to make my job easier. Given that they're likely never going to happen, I will continue to optimize the hard way and work closely with JVM guys :)
Thanks for the cast, was quite informative. Kudos to you for trying to help others.
Just a few suggestions for following casts.
1) Not sure if you are aware of it but there is a framework that you can use for the screencasts, just to make it look bit more professional: http://www.codeschool.com/code_tv/screencasting
2) Try give more screen space to code and browser. I personally, will rather have your code and your voice do all the talking.
3) In the beginning maybe have an outline, or list of concepts you are going to cover in the cast.

And for future casts topics request :).
1) Can you talk about testing backbone with Jasmine, maybe Sinon too?
2) Design patterns for managing your backbone code or how responsibilities should be shared among collections, models, views?

Again thanks a lot for the effort.
It's no secret that the Programming subreddit has gone downhill in the past couple years. Plus, when a post gets popular, it gains the attention of the general audience, who often view /r/all.

Another good subreddit is /r/todayilearned
There's a distinct audience for the sales reps - likely more on the business or procurement side. Any good provider will have sales engineers who can speak to the technology side and the impact technology has on the business or financials of the overall hosting engagement.

A multi-person model is structured around larger enterprises that already have separate staff representing these different roles.

That's slightly different. First, that's post generation of the IR -- some of the steps that you want to combine are pre-IR. Second, the idea behind LLVM's optimizer structure is that each optimization provides a single task so they can be combined modularly. This may not produce the fastest code or fastest compile time but the idea is that the benefit in code organization would provide benefits that wouldn't be seen in a more tightly knit organizational structure.

Probably odd submission etiquette to submit my own interview... but I did the interview because I wanted to share some of my story with and help other founders... and well, there are a lot of you here. Would love to answer any other questions you might have about founding COLOURlovers, getting into YC, raising $, building a non-profit, etc.
I always thought that carbon fiber weaving was not widespread and thus that was one factor in the high cost of carbon fiber. For example when Lexus was building their LFA car they also built their own 3D CF loom. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ry9uiP2I6kQ
I have a client who uses google apps for biz. They're a law firm. When docs are gone, productivity is gone. Ouch!
Disagree. Disqus just doesn't work for me. They have a broken OpenID system, pages load much slower, and their points/moderation system is close to meaningless (I can't see which comments I wrote got decent votes).

I much prefer IntenseDebate (still slow, broken OpenID, but moderation is much much better) or Google+ itself. I just wish Google would "plus-ify" Reader already.
The Steve Jobs formula and why it works
PhantomJS is pretty cool. There are some super rough areas I had to deal with to get this working, but I hope they can improve it and make it more awesome. I've gotta file some bugs actually..

I was just happy to get the link traversal test passing. So many tears to get that reliable.
Selling expensive products to rich people is a lot easier than selling affordable products to poor people.
The UTF-8 test results with ✓ for success and ✗ for failure are just adorable.
/r/programming is the oldest subreddit and, IMO, has fallen the farthest in terms of quality of posts and comments. I have also become fed up with the banality of the main site at this point, but it's still pretty cool for niche interests like, e.g., /r/Minecraft.

Of course it is. The question is: Will it work?
Did you even read the article?

1) The file was uploaded manually by a security researcher.

2) They couldn't access a particular part of LM/NG protected by SecurID. They could've sent them an email also, they just wouldn't have gotten access to the information they needed. I'm sure RSA is using SecurID also, but someone somewhere fucked up and the attacker was able to find a security breach starting with the infected workstation. From there, it's easy to get personal info for social engineering, access network drives, etc.

Look, if you have a determined, well funded country state hell-bent on cracking into your system, all the security in the world won't protect you.
Yes. We did a lot of client web development work (Pinegrow evolved from there) and we often work with designers who need us to turn their designs into a functional site. Many designers are not coders and have no interest in dealing with nuances of html, css and javascript. They are very interested in Pinegrow as a development tool, backed up by good technical customer support.
To me this sums up what Reddit really got right: "The community is the most passionate out there."

Towards the end of his time with Digg Kevin Rose seemed to have little empathy for his audience, and the audience knew it when he checked out of the building and handed things over to Jay. The redesign was more about having a solid code base than rolling out new features for the users. And one got the sense that while they had Twitter envy that Reddit was doubling down on making their community (with all of their quirks) feel at home.
I have never heard about the 'usual Arial/Helvetica combo'.
It was about 70 style bugs, not exactly. A few bounties covered documentation, and I awarded one to someone who told me how to fix some CSS on the website.

Could you elaborate on OpenID issues you are having?
Jekyll is made for blogs. Specifically, blogs using HTML, Markdown, or Textile. Anything past that starts to become a hack.

There are inherent constraints to the framework because it must be "safe" enough for GitHub's environment. For example, an issue close to my heart:

https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/issues/225
I'm a very big proponent of the Jekyll approach, and made a few plugins for my own use (https://github.com/josegonzalez/josediazgonzalez.com/tree/ma...). I also started the list of plugins on the Jekyll Wiki (https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/wiki/Plugins), so I recommend you check both of those out.

Stasis seems nice, but I'm not sure the changes I'd have to implement to move to it would be worth the trouble.
Which other frameworks have CSS3 selectors built in to the core for DOM traversal/editing?

Which other frameworks are as fast as jQuery?

Speed is critical, and the selector-based DOM navigation is paradigm-shifting.
The market dynamics with TV are rather different though.

The music industry as a whole Apple haven't broken; record labels still exist and the bulk of commercial music is distributed through them. What they've broken was the physical distribution model in favour of a digital model controlled by them, by providing a large semi-captive audience.

Equally with phones, they haven't destroyed the model of networks selling a pre-agreed bundle of services at a flat tariff with the pre-pay component being vastly cheaper than the post-pay. What they've broken is the assumption that carriers could do what they liked with phones, but again I think this was less of a challenge than you think; pre-smartphones we all had much what came out of the factory because that was all that was possible, and phones have long been a fashion driven market. Apple simply managed to get a bigger fashion leap (not that this was the only leap) on their competitors to the point where carriers couldn't avoid taking the phone on Apple's terms once one had given in.

With TV, I suspect the bulk of HN readers can quite plainly see by now that what we used to call 'video on demand' is both economically deliverable over the internet and a compelling user experience compared with having to organise one's life around a broadcast schedule to receive the preferred content.

The challenge for Apple is how to insert themselves as the default gatekeeper in the way they have with iTunes and iOS. Compared with music the content providers are fewer in number and with a substantially higher cost base, making them both harder to supplant and more risk averse. Compared with mobile carriers, the power dynamics are reversed; the hit product becomes the network's unique content not the hardware vendor's fashionable item. If Apple had managed to produce a hypothetical viable Apple TV product (and delivery channel) prior to services such as Hulu, BBC iPlayer or even YouTube and Justin.TV then there could have been a window of opportunity for them as gatekeeper, but I think that would have been an improbable scenario and is clearly not possible now.

Which leaves Apple with a problem in the Apple TV. The compelling offering is the content not the device; the content providers have a strong incentive to make their wares widely, not narrowly available. iOS has prospered as a closed, Apple-controlled ecosystem, yet the opportunity isn't there with TV. Their only opportunity is to provide a hardware device which is sufficiently far ahead of the alternatives as the first iPod was perceived as being when that launched, but I'd suggest that the market there is already sufficiently mature as to make that unlikely.

I didn't know much about writing apps on webOS so I found this recent video on using JavaScript in Enyo and Node.js

Agreed - can't wait to use this in a technical context, and write some custom apps for that touch pad. I do hope there is an option to skip the neon-green accents though, and throw in a SSD.

When my MBP hits the two-year-old mark, I would really like to replace it with something along these lines and finally get back to running Linux natively on some respectable hardware.

One more thing, I really liked the magnesium alloy case on my Actius MM10 - wish I could have that on a full-size machine. Maybe we'll get there if this thing sees some sales.
I am an engineer for Google Docs. When they say that Docs List is down, they just mean Docs List. It is stated so on the dashboard site.

"Affected users will see a 404 when accessing the Google Docs home page. You can access individual documents by clicking on the link in the original sharing email, or if you have saved the URL for that document."

All your docs are still accessible.
Which basically amounts to the same thing. "x86" processors today are actually RISC(-like) processors with large register spaces and three-operand instructions, because that hardware can be made faster, even with the necessary silicon x86->RISC translator so software sees an x86 processor.

But to my knowledge, compatibility with legacy compiled software is not a practical issue for VM's. And even if it were, this isn't a compatible implementation of x86 anyway. So what then is the reasoning for this choice?
The day I realized reddit wasn't the same anymore, was when I made a jest about Youtube commenters only posting unintelligible comments in the main /r/reddit.com subreddit.

I got tons downvotes and a confused reply saying "is there something wrong with youtube that I dont get?"

Then I realized the people commenting on Reddit were the same ones posting the comments on Youtube.

They weren't even aware of the stigma of Youtubes comments, which shows the cultural shift on Reddit from tech-savvy to mainstream.
This book is great, and finally available in Kindle format too.

There is a major problem with this teaching approach: every module is a pre-requisite for the next one. Therefore, if a student fails one module, he will have to spend time fixing it instead of moving forward.
Maybe it would work better for a leftie. A left-handed person could keep their hand on the mouse and use their other hand for the trackpad interface when needed.

Only posted an hour and already the same, predictable comments. People, please take the time to explore other subreddits. If you stay subscribed to reddit.com, pics, politics and other various default subreddits, you're not going to enjoy yourself (unless you liked digg v4).

Also, I have no idea why reddit defaults to "top" for comment sorting. The experience is much less gimmicky when you sort comments by "best". They're usually more relevant and less meta/jokey. (edit, I appear to have been mistaken on this, I was just sure when I created a new account a while back it had defaulted to 'top'. Oh well, something to keep in mind anyhow.)

Yet another lovely cheatsheet to print off and hang on the wall by my desk. Thank you remi. Perhaps I should put up a blog post with all my cheat sheets some day.
1 thing entrepreneurs should avoid doing:

1. Following a formula.

Visionaries revolutionize. Analysts distill a formula from their success. The mediocre follow the formula and wonder why it didn't work.

In order to change the world, you must have vision, ambition, tenacity, and leadership. Without these, no formula or recipe for success will help you.

Success formulas should be taken with the same grain of salt as for case studies. They show how someone else was successful, and usually contain nuggets of good advice. They are not blueprints for success.
Try sorting comments by "best" instead of "top". It's not a complete fix, but it's an improvement.
I'd be very interested to see this comment thread. I've never, ever seen anyone defend YouTube, let alone YouTube style comments. Further, if you're in an at-all-trafficked subreddit, poor spelling, poor grammar and outright rudeness is fairly well discouraged.
Hi r00fus, can you show me a page where you find Disqus causes a page to serve much more slowly?

We serve all our static assets from Akamai, and there's only a single dynamic request per embed load (that's also cached). My own benchmarks show Disqus loads in under a second on most pages.

I want to live off the grid and be self sustaining.

I use to be a mechanic. I liked figuring things out, learning. That's how I stumbled into programming. Unfortunately, programming makes for a really good living in a culture I largely don't enjoy.

I want to get that satisfaction on my own terms. I want to give myself what I want.

#1 and #6 are increasingly solvable using CSS and they are, of course, completely possible using SVG or canvas depending on what else you're doing. The libraries need some serious work to be more consistent - after battling font embedding inconsistencies and bugs I really wanted to use CSS.

I liked a couple parts of AS3 but … the toolchain so horribly broken that at this point I wouldn't consider Flash unless Adobe gives me a free upgrade from CS3 to something where the "debugger" doesn't crash frequently and things like breakpoints actually work. I'd tend to think $800+ should get you remotely near feature-comparable with current browser debugger.

Basically this is a long way of saying that point #2 is a huge drawback from my perspective because Flash is integrated but none of the individual components are as good as what competition's producing in the open world and Adobe's been very slow to try fixing years of platform neglect.
It's strange. $99 firesale, new TouchPads in the hands of a bunch of nerds, show off some "good" (not not "great") apps by giving them away.

I kinda hope it's all marketing hype. But now I want decent, functioning apps for this thing.

I created a legit WebOS app for myself in about 30 minutes. The development of these apps are unbelievably quick since it's just HTML/CSS/JS.

Your entire dev environment is a text editor, a WebKit browser and the inspection pane - the same one built into Chrome/Safari/Whathaveyou.

It'd be a shame to see WebOS completely die off.
I wanted to use "CIRCLE WITH LEFT HALF BLACK" for pending tests (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_Shapes) .. alas, not supported in my terminal .. maybe I was doing it wrong.
I figure the success of browser-Flash will depend on touch parity between desktop & devices.

Flash is a complex experience to create and generating two forms (mouse & touch) confounds the universal cutting-edge innovation expected from Flash.

Not a backbone expert, but how "correct" is it to have a presentation variable like "selected" tied to a backbone model? For some reason the OP's inclusion of a "selected" attribute on his model struck me as odd. I don't think you'd want to sync this with the backend...
