Yeah, currently Clojure sort of assumes that you know enough to fall back to the Java class library if you can't find something in clojure.core, threading being a good example.

The documentation is mostly terse, but there is http://java.ociweb.com/mark/clojure/article.html which is more tutorial-like; though it's probably getting a bit old by now.
That summarises my point perfectly.

Groupon Scrapped Its IPO Plans Amid Federal Questioning
Even pure functions have side-effects
I was doing the same thing and that's essentially how I ended up moving to Silicon Valley.
I find it hard to swallow the PR this is an "organic conference" and "driven by love for the community" with a normal ticket price of $600. Even at the $300 cost this is more than the cost of PyCon. I followed the pre-hype and looked forward to this, that was until I saw the price tag. Maybe if they offered $300 up front and not $600.

If you want an example of a real organic conference, for the love of the community, check out PyTexas. This is a FREE conference this weekend.

If you live in TX/OK/LA, try to make it to College Station for a great a little conference. Well, it started out little. I think there are over 200 people already registered.

I've also noticed regional variation in tech. Generally the lowest common denominator is Java/EE stuff, often with Spring/Hibernate.

Kind of annoying, since I'd really like to have more job location flexibility, and I really don't like Java & the "Enterprise IT (tm)" approach.

It would probably be best for the whole segment if it got cancelled entirely. There are way too many questions about the long term viability of groupon to feel good about an IPO, as well as a possible SEC probe.

The resizing behavior you outline for the Ribbon is actually a horrible UI design decision for repeat actions, which most are.

Example:

If a user remembers the "Copy" button as the first big button, or paste as the third little button, etc. Next time you open the window at a different resolution, or you resize, everything changes. Your positional memory of this button is gone. I absolutely hate the Ribbon's design for this. (I don't have windows running, so I'm making this up as an example, but I know it has happened to me before)

I prefer apple's "old" menu design over the Ribbon. Albeit seemingly archaic, it's actually a very useful place to store multiple commands in easily readable text that never changes position (especially on a mac, where the menu is always at the top toolbar).
The real time question was more of an catch question, actually. I would probably like and use an option to limit the refreshing of the data to every morning, 8 o'clock.

The analytics software at my current job is 'real' time and just motivates everybody to react like chickens or stay up late just to see the data early or refresh every 5 minutes. Not because it makes sense, but because it's possible.
Internet Marketing For Your MLM, Does It Really Work?
Google's mystery bid undoubtedly has to do with the content rights and the length of time associated with those rights.

Of the proposed suitors, Dish is the only one with any power to realistically do any sort of negotiation on the content rights since they can bundle Hulu into their carriage agreements they make with their content partners.

Google's smart enough to realize that they would need to get something like a 5-10 year window on the rights to content for this to make sense. They need the demand for IPTV streaming to really catch up, where if Hulu shuts down the networks would feel some consumer pain. Right now if Hulu closed its doors Fox/ABC et al, would barely notice.

But if Google is successful, you might be extremely close to Google being able to complete a full IP delivered ala carte "cable system" and that would change the game completely. Their biggest issue here is that they'll be doing it over their competitors pipes since cable is the primary broadband mechanism. The real final piece to the puzzle would be rolling out some sort of Google broadband via wifi/fibre etc all the way to the home.

Being a blow against the jury system in this type of trial is no argument against the judge's move.

Yes it totally is. He is explaining why someone might think hiring an expert seems reasonable in this one case, and then extrapolating how that precedent might get interpreted to undermine the legal system in general.

I also think his fear is pretty understandable: the jury system, although obviously far from perfect, is a hallmark of our culture's concept of justice, and allowing a court to appoint an expert, especially in a technology related case, is a big step towards consolidating power into the judge's hands.
If you think that is a good price for a professional designer to earn crafting what is essentially a logo for a huge company, you are mistaken.

Huh? Why would the size of the company and the reach of the logo matter in the slightest? It's this type of thinking that makes dealing with designers somewhat frustrating.

I will never (EVER!) pay royalties for work that I commission. If I'm paying you to build it, I'm paying you to build it for me. It's mine.

The thing is, I've yet to have trouble finding someone to do that for me. I've run into this situation on a few occasions. On each I've politely said no thanks and took my business to someone who was willing to do it for a reasonable fee with full rights assignment to me.

Vlingo Lawsuit Charges Nuance With Unfair Competition and Commercial Bribery
I don't think it's for a premium Youtube. I think it's to bolster their Google plus offering. Watching hulu shows live with friends across the world could be something to set them apart from Facebook. Right now Facebook's model is based on "sharing" what you've already done (I watched a show on Hulu). Google can one-up that by making it truly social (you're watching a show with your friends).

It depends how committed they are to Google plus. If they want to give themselves a (another?) significant differentiator from other social networks, acquiring Hulu could do that.

facebook wasn't

You meant it hasn't so far. That's not a dig at Facebook, or a prediction of death, but on the short timescale we're looking at (a few years really) it's much to soon to know whether they've stopped the cycle, or made it slower. And therefore you can extent that to Reddit, the fact that they've gone longer without decline doesn't mean they won't start their decline tomorrow, or the next day.
If you asked guys whether they would rather be permanently poor but be able to have sex with attractive women whenever they wanted, or to be wealthy but have no possibility of sex, I'd expect it to be close.

I'd be very surprised if it were close. I bet almost all guys would choose the former over the latter.
The amount of ignorance and misogyny in here is staggering.

Suggesting that biological factors result in statistical differences between men and women is not misogyny. "Different" does not mean better or worse.

Men are biologically programmed to be violent. We should find it as no surprise that the vast majority of violent criminals are men.

Essentially true. "Biologically programmed" is a bit strong, but in a sexism-free utopia would you seriously expect 50% of violent criminals to be women?

Also we should not trust men to care for small children, because they have no idea what they are doing since they lack the biological drive for child-rearing.

Strawman. Nobody is saying that women should be discouraged from or can't excel in any area. It's just that if individual choices result in more male than female tech startup founders, and more female than male preschool workers, it may not be due to the all-powerful patriarchy.
It doesn't take much to send a fickle user base like Reddit's running for the next Internet hangout. There are plenty of examples from the recent past. Remember Digg?
... I think it's much more likely they didn't foresee the negative reaction that their IPO filing created. The buzz is bad, therefore they will try and refocus and won't do an IPO right now.
Most of the editors at Engadget, another tech blog owned by AOL have left publicly citing AOL's editorial policy. I am surprised by the lack of support that Hacker News community is showing to Arrington. Even in the post announcing the sale to AOL, there was clear stress about the editorial independence of TC. Arrington always has had a weird investment policy, but to his credit, he has maintained a strict transparency about his posts. For people who are alleging what happens to those companies which are competitors, won't the same logic apply to Fred Wilson or Om Malik, both of whom are VCs as well as popular bloggers.

I do think Arrington should not have named his fund CrunchFund. Techcrunch runs a database about companies and people involved in the tech industry called Crunchbase. This brings us to a different question. Michael earlier had a plan for a tablet called CrunchPad, which didn't materialize when he had a fall-out with his technical partner. Does the brand name belong to the company or to the founder ? No matter who owns the trademark and other legal stuff, I believe it should stay with the company.
It seems like the future of streaming content is really up in the air right now. As someone that has been downloading videos for over a decade, I was surprised by the lack of attention HBO got when they aired the upcoming episode of entourage a week early exclusively on HBO Go. It made me create my Go account and I do like the service.

Even with Hulu, onDemand, and Netflix I still find myself downloading files. I hope someday someone gets this right and I can purchase episodes(full seasons) early as well as watch any season from any show. Because I would pay double for that.

If shell were a brand new language, made in someone's basement, it would be immediately shat upon. But its ecology and ubiquity make it 'good enough'. But really, shell programming is awesome in its simplicity. Bash syntax is a bit clumsy but every commandline application ever written for unix is a new library, provided it spits out reasonably predictable output. If unix applications are hunks of oddly-shaped and designed metal, shell programming is the arc welder. (Yes, I know I'm blurring the line between bash, sh, zsh, and the like, but they serve the same purpose.)

Since this is no longer about my comment, but rather about me, let me open my response by saying that what I really don't get is what drove you to consider my uniniteresting comment worthy of your time and words, instead of simply downvoting it, just as many people did (some upvoted, though!).

Merely raising a point isn't really enough - there has to be a reason to raise it.

My point, in case it was not clear, is that there is merit and elegance to not using CSS at all. It is (arguably!) the purest way of exalting content: forgetting completely about presentational aspects. My point, maybe not well explained first, is that it is noteworthy to see this kind of choice in 2011 by a tech-savvy author. It may not be interesting to you, but it is for more than one person. See, e.g., [1], [2].

I accept this may not be interesting to you, and even to most HNers. Rest assured that if (and only if) I find an overwhelming proof of the latter, I will avoid this kind of comment in the future. But, for the love of Ken, don't even try to take ownership of as subjective a concept as "interesting". Heck, an article on anything at all on HN brings up well-received comments on ping times, DNS servers, JS file delivery, etc. and, um, that may have nothing to do with the content of the article itself. That's one of the main reasons I, for one, love HN.

You can use something like http://foundrs.com/home just to lay down a basic agreement and work out the details later.
"The risk is, it turns into a one-witness trial,"

The solution is to hire a jury of expert witnesses. That should have happened a long time ago, in fact; letting a judge or jury make decisions about a specialist subject if they don't have a corresponding degree will only cause trouble.

The counterargument is that the government can't recognize technical competence. The answer there is to let the technically competent people select their own juries, given that they're the ones that can recognize competence. Just hand jury selection over to, say, the ACM or the IEEE.

I suspect that, as this proposal goes on, you'll converge to a technocracy. Whether that's good or bad is up to you.

Oh, if that's what you're worried about, a) you're right, employers routinely exploit wage anchoring of employees already on the payroll, b) I don't know if I agree that devs slow down in growth after two years, and c) regardless of whether they do or not, quit and demand wages commensurate with the value you bring to the company.

> ...and impulsivity, which are common behaviors of ADHD, and exposures to lead, PCBs, mercury, and certain pesticides. Animal studies that examine the link between environmental exposures and animal models of ADHD, or common ADHD behaviors, provide supporting evidence that exposures to lead, PCBs, mercury, and pesticides may contribute to ADHD.

Sure, so how do you explain my two brothers along with myself and mother all having different severities of ADHD? From everything I've read, especially newer studies, genetics play a much larger role in ADHD, specifically genetic relationships with dopamine levels.

The PDF you cited actually notes genetics as a frontrunner:

Research indicates that individual genetic features
influence the incidence of ADHD, but
often in combination with environmental factors

Further, ADHD-PI has a much higher incidence of genetic cause (sometimes referred to as SCT, or Sluggish Cognitive Tempo) [1].

Like ADHD, those with SCT symptoms have a condition
that appears to be genetic in nature.

I wouldn't disagree that environment plays a factor, but the frontrunner is genetics.

Just because you decide to give away your music for free doesn't make you an expert and it doesn't mean that you should be able to make that decision for other content creators. Simply put, if you don't care about it enough to buy it, then you don't need to have a copy. No copy - no problem.

The business model of making something people want is always a good business model. The act of taking things you enjoy from people without paying for them is bad business. It makes continuing to create the content cost prohibitive and ultimately means that you end up with less things you like being made. Not every artist is in a position to tour.

If you want a better comparison, this is like a model letting you take pictures of her for an agreed upon fee, you take the photos, give her the negatives but refuse to pay for the copies you keep. You spread the copies around so nobody else has any reason to pay her for them either. Sure, she has her copy, but you've made it difficult for her to make money from them, and you have not paid for something that she created under the premise that it should only be taken if paid for. She certainly didn't lose anything, oh, except time, dignity, and her rights. Sharing or leaking a CD is basically the same as this. I'm sure you'll argue that you would not have paid for the photos, and that taking copies of them is okay. I tend not to like to engage in things that take advantage of other people, no matter how many steps I am removed.
