Amen. I'm exactly the same way. There should be a support group.

Worse than being merely off-putting, I think it actively hurts, personally and professionally, when your don't get as excited over every little thing as your peers. People take it as a sign of indifference, and judge you for not being a "team player" or other such nonsense.

I long ago learned that it's always best to keep your mouth shut rather than saying negative things in public (though it can certainly be a lot less fun). But the little trap that no one warns you about is that it's possible to be perceived as negative simply by being less enthusiastic than baseline. And it drives me nuts when people put me into positions where my only option is to feign enthusiasm, or to say something negative:

Rude Person: "isn't Yanni just the most brilliant musician ever? And how about that Kenny G -- jazz will never be the same, right?"

Me: "um. indeed."

This kind of stuff happens all the time, and it never gets any easier to navigate.
and you'll never get a loan for a used car (so if you don't have 2-5k in savings to buy it used...you're SOL)

This isn't true at all. You might not be able to get a car loan in the 2-5k range, but for a used car, especially a certified used car in the 10k range, those are almost always financed. One also makes a down payment on a car, so a 10K car loan may be for a car that's up to $15k. $15k is plenty for a decent used car.
Gabriel Weinberg is amazing at blogging! He revolutionised the anti-extreme excitement movement!

Seriously though, it is a good idea not to get swept up in the waves of hysterical enthusiasm that can follow some personalities and companies.

As the post states, apathy isn't the answer. I think a bit of healthy skepticism is all that's needed to be able to see past most PR/fanboy noise.
Nice! Couple of suggestions, expand the search box (can't see a lot of the names and end up selecting bunk vids) and populate the chat box with the video metadata so you can see what's been played. Good work, though.
Yes indeed =)
How do you fallback to a local stylesheet if your CDN fails?
I'm sorry, this is just loser talk. If you put enough effort into your skill set you should be able to make enough to afford goods and services in moderation. Middle class, in other words. If you can't, then you're doing something wrong.
The FBI should put a message on the Web saying they know where these terrorists are and they've already sent nanobot assassins to infect them.
On the fit:

- the sleeve length should be to your hand when your hand is bent back 90 degrees. It can be slightly shorter for a casual jacket.

- there should not be any bunching or lifting on the area under the collar at the back when you stand upright normally. This one is very common.

- it should not be too tight anywhere when buttoned. You should be able to clench your shoulders and arms with your arms out in front without it pulling under your armpits or pulling too much across the shoulders.
I believe you're thinking of jury nullification.
The Case for Content APIs
If only some part of the world of software works like this...

SQLite, OpenBSD, Python, PostgreSQL. Robust, stand through test of time, high quality.

Instead Linux, MySQL, PHP win the popularity contest.
could you provide an example?

You're it. Assuming a definition of technology broad enough to include you being a survival mechanism for bacteria.

If you want my argument, the tl;dr I just wrote for the deleted post here is going to have to suffice. I haven't read Joy's article yet, although I've heard of it - thanks for linking it.

I guess the short answer to why I think it's going to be symbiotic is that it's going to be either symbiotic or not a competitor. I guess a better characterization of my belief is that I just don't buy AI being our future competitors either way. But I don't intend to lose any sleep over it, because I have enough short-term worries that I really don't care much. So AI could supplant me - fine! Then I wouldn't have to worry about college tuition for my kids. Sometimes leading a post-holocaust scratch-farming existence sounds relaxing.

(Nota bene: I grew up on a farm, so no, I don't actually think scratch farming would be low-stress; this was hyperbole just for humorous effect. Trust me; technology is our friend and I don't want to go backwards. Ever.)

You're right but take it further. Willpower is a muscle. It gets fatigued on any particular day, but as it is exercised over time it becomes stronger. A daily practitioner of frugality is able to choose the right thing nearly effortlessly compared to someone just beginning to try to save money.
Time machine fixed. Thanks.
Exactly. But even if that weren't the case business is about risk taking. They did poorly because the market tanked and/or they made bad bets. Had neither of those two things occurred the offices and the people would have been fine. (A rising tide and all of that.)

What he is really saying is that there is less risk with less people since he can more carefully manage the risk when he doesn't have a hand in so many pots. And that works in that type of a business. It's certainly not what the investors of groupon want.

That being said if Fred didn't spend time writing a blog he would have more time to manage more investments. I'm sure he devotes many hours per day to that blog. But he has decided he is happy with the amount of deals and activity he is doing right now and the other benefits he gets from blogging (attracting better deals and potential celebrity).
Being an Evil Genius with F# and .NET
I'm not about to remove Gentoo from my older servers, but I'm probably never going to install it again. Not having to compile everything is a huge win. The Arch build system is fantastic. It's easier to create/maintain your own packages. Arch's packages seem to be of higher quality, and more frequently updated. I've found the last few months of using Arch to be completely delightful.
Backbone may be lightweight, but that's only because it's a "framework" for exactly what the authors happened to be doing at the time. If you don't have a collection of objects as a JSON document at /some-url and each object available at /some-url/id, then Backbone does approximately nothing.

A simple reimplementation without http support looks something like:

Model.prototype.set = function(key, value){ this[key] = value; for(v in views){ v.refresh() } }

View.prototype.set_model = function(model){ model.views.push(this) }

thing = new Model();
view = new ViewSubclass();
view.set_model(thing);
thing.set('foo', 'bar'); # WOWZA THE VIEW UPDATES!!!11!!!
Ask HN: What interests tech people when talking to a non-tech person?
Hi all,

I love tech. I love startups. I am not a tech person.

I'm pretty sure this has been asked many times on this board, and I've read humblemba's blog post about startups and MBAs, but I was wondering...

What sort of personal characteristics do tech people look for when approached by a non-tech person looking to start a company? Ultimately, and I know this changes per person, what can non-tech person do to make a tech person trust them?

Because really... that's what business is all about. In my eyes at least.

Thanks for your responses!
There's a general point to be made here: this is the sort of thing that happens when you have "closed development open source". Admittedly, there seem to be very few people in the world capable of delivering a world-class GC.
A link to your infinality config, please? I use what are (I assume) the default infinality settings, and the chopped-off way that the Monaco '%' is rendered always grabs my eye.
What’s Wrong with Lisp
From experience, that doesn't seem to be the case. If you worry about spending money at a certain level, you've defined the battle lines, and splurging desperately on the other side is utterly unthinkable.

If $10 for a day's worth of food seems lavish to you, something like even setting foot in a decent restaurant becomes unthinkable. You start to lose the ability to even imagine splurging, because to you spending $15-20 on pizza is splurging. You understand from an intellectual perspective that you can easily spend over $100 at a good restaurant ordering dinner for two, but you don't consider it as a possibility for your own life.
"This sort of 'frugality' seems a particularly unpleasant fixation."

To some people it is, and to others it's actually fun and rewarding to do more with less and figure out new ways to save money for something more important in the long-term.

If it's not for you, fine, but let's not generalize.
I'd bet that enthusiasm is significantly related to memory, too.

"What's the most exciting project you've worked on?"

"What's your most exciting vacation?"

If I haven't already considered the case for such interview/icebreaker questions, I just don't tend to remember things on that axis since most of them kind of clump together around the origin. So if I want to even try and give an answer they were looking for, I have to do a random search through a bunch of memories and guess at levels. Or default to the first thing I remember regardless.
Welcome to Web 2.0, where people that think they're programmers try to interact with people that are programmers. The results are often ... depressing.
> "cutting small things has too small of an impect"

How small is "small" and how many things of that size are you cutting? What portion of your budget do those things make up? By what percentage could you increase your debt repayment/savings/investment plan by doing those things? Do the math; it might surprise you.

Cutting a single meal out, for a single person, might save 5 or 10 bucks; cutting 20 meals out saves hundreds. Buying cheaper shampoo might save 2 bucks a month; buying cheaper household goods across the board saves hundreds. There are a number of ways the average person can save pretty good chunks of change -- thrift stores, coupons, generics, spending 3 minutes comparing prices on Amazon/Tiger Direct/Newegg, and so on. There's plenty room to splurge on the things you really care about if you save elsewhere.

Save on the big things, and on the small things that add up, and you'll be way ahead.
I'd imagine you could use Java on http://pair.io as it supports Clojure.
There is a downvote button?
If you can't take advantage of it, it's not really an opportunity. Frugality turns "can't take advantage of" situations into actual opportunities.
I like this. I'd like to see more of Plan 9 in general use. Since I started reading about it I've thought it would be cool if a big company did for it roughly what Apple did for Unix with OS X, preferably in a more open-source manner.
With all of this news, I wonder what part of Microsoft's tablet strategy is divergent from Apple's (well, other than the fact that the tablets themselves will be manufactured by the likes of HTC and Samsung)?

No legacy apps on tablets? √

Curated App Store with 30% cut? √

Multi-touch tablet-focused UI? √

Somehow merging their mobile and desktop OS? √
Yes, that was my point. A decent car will put you at least 10k in the hole, unless you have the cash to buy used from someone who isn't a dealer.
Want to help me build a web scrapper (preferably in python)?
Misleading title. Quoting the article near the bottom, "Microsoft has not yet spelled out any plans to charge a 30 percent fee on in-app purchases".
Good questions! I'm actually a tech person who is interested in finding a non-tech person. Trust you? That's tough, because I don't know you yet. So for starter, what have you done? I'm a hacker, so I could give you my tech credentials. You're a hustler (I hope!), so show me your hustling credentials.

Then after that, it's really all about chemistry. Are we going to be able to count on each other when the shit hits the fan...for the 20th time? Because bottom line, if we hook up to pursue a startup, we'll be married.

I know this is the internet and everyone (including me) watches every video link to any event, but please seriously consider whether you really want to watch the links people are posting here.

Effectively what happens is the plane is being followed by the camera, then when it crashes the camera loses focus for 2s, then refocuses in on a dead body, pans around to a few dead bodies, and zooms out to show you a bunch of bodies and some wreckage. Like Gosling says in his post, there are no flames, no gore, not really even any smoke. What makes it so disturbing is that it's just lifeless bodies, instantly killed... just lifeless, no blood or explosions. I suppose that some of them may be unconscious, but just knowing that Gosling said most were dead or uninjured kind of makes me think otherwise.
This is great. I've been wanting my phone to be a node on my grid for a long time. I'm glad some people got motivated and actually hacked it all together. The dream of ubiquitous 9p/styx lives!
Aston Villa vs Newcastle United Barclays Premier League 17 September Preview
What I hate is when someone gets uber-excited about x and I don't, they then get offended because they think I don't like it all that much or that I don't like them. Yet if I say something critical (constructive or not) about x, they also get offended, even if they have nothing to do with it. I guess there's no 'right' thing to say.
Hmmm - so evidence of hustle (lots of evidence smart hustling of course) can help build trust? Or at least the start of it?

Thank you for this insight, it's much appreciated.

I'm happy to help. Understanding your customer "experience" is going to be a bit of undertaking for a larger site like this, but I'll try to give some pointers based on the surface experiences that most users will likely come into contact.

First, not sure if this is your site, but the domain and layout and everything is excellent! This site has clearly been around the block. (Evidence in the copyright notice.)

Seriously, I played around with the site for a solid 2 minutes and haven't found anything jarringly wrong! I'd be willing to go out on a limb and say this site is on par with the likes of Amazon in regards to site's organization, intuitiveness, and consistency.

I'm happy to take a little more time with this over the weekend to really dig. I'd hate to have you walk away empty handed.

My lack of excitement was interpreted as a lack of passion. And I was told startups look for passion. So sorry. I found it both annoying and silly. Silly, because the founder hadn't sounded any more excited than me and passion is such a vague term for him to look for.

The irony is i can and have gotten extremely excited (mostly when i am not recalling anything similar) in the past, but found that it is a disappointment almost always. So nowadays, i try to recall similar things and try to see the differences.
I have a friend who uses Arch, she likes it a lot. I've been a Gentoo user for a number of years. From my outside perspective, Arch is similar to Gentoo in terms of configurability and power but without the beefy install process and it has a mirror of pre-built binaries for packages (you can compile from source if you want) where Gentoo typically only keeps binaries around for big things like OpenOffice, browsers, and proprietary drivers. Arch definitely seems more Linuxy though in the heritage of Debian, whereas Gentoo seems to take a bunch of ideas from the BSD folk.

One thing I love about Portage over pacman is the masking. Arch seems to take bleeding-edge a little less seriously.
Conventional Inks
Virtually everyone in the US can safely reduce consumption.

I live in India. India is vastly poorer than the US - the upper middle class over here has a standard of living comparable to the bottom 10% of the US [1]. The savings rate is in the neighborhood of 20-30%.

If India can do it, the US can do it.

I posted about this at the start of the project, but I thought I should give a quick update in case anybody is interested.

We ran for the 14 days, finishing up just in time. Literally down to the minute. Post release review seems to suggest that the balancing is out, so we're going to have to do a 1.1, but I think we did pretty well considering the time.

We were broadcasting on twitch.tv 24x7 during the event, with someone always on, talking. We averaged around 100 viewers over the 14 days, with the peak at 1,100. It was very strange to have 700 people watching me eat a slice of pizza.

We ended up raising just over $7000 for Child's Play. Everyone that donated is going to get a premium DRM free version, that we're working on right now. We don't have any other plans for the project. The donations page will be closing down in a few hours, so if anyone wants to bump the total a bit before then, it would be much appreciated :)
To add to that, I believe it's mainly for criminal charges, there are other legal situations in which you may not be provided a lawyer (income limits or not). An example would be a civil forfeiture where you could have assets seized and whether you can retain a public defender or not is up to the judge, not a right.
Here are a few things that come to mind if you want to start a company with me.

1. Your idea has to be solid. Not just something you're excited about, not just something I can get excited about, but something that's genuinely good. Something that no one has thought of before, or a new edge to a market that hasn't been nailed yet. If I were an investor, I would have to want to invest in us.

2. You have to have a good understanding of the technical challenges involved in making your idea a reality. You should have an idea of what needs to be done so that your hopes aren't completely dashed when I tell you the facts of what it will take.

3. You cannot undervalue your time, or my time. No matter what, I'm taking a risk by working with you. You have to convince me that it will be worth my while, and you know what? You probably have to make it actually worth my while.

4. You have to be willing to accept feedback. If you start with a complete vision of what your company and product are going to be, you will be sorely disappointed when that vision fails to materialise. By taking critique during the development of your idea, you will end up with something better even than the perfection you imagined.

Just my 2¢.
To give the uninitiated an idea of what happened, whenever a plane at the Reno races experiences a mechanical problem, the pilot points the aircraft vertical and bleeds off all their forward speed. Once they're high enough, they level off and glide to the runway for a landing.

For the 'Unlimited' class of race aircraft, this typically occurs once a day during the races. These aircraft are running 3000hp engines, and race at speeds around 500mph.

Link #3 has the best angle on this maneuver. It looks like the pilot lost control shortly after pulling the plane vertical, after which it rolled 180 degrees and pitched straight to the ground.

That's is what affects me most about these things. When I see videos of people being murdered (beheadings, the hammer video) it's shocking but there's no connection because I at least never think "I could be murdered next! Someone wants to hurt me!" but with this it's people just in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's scary how fragile human life is and this is a reminder even if you're the most wonderful purpose and there's no malicious intent involved you're still at risk.
I think some of what you're saying is a bit too broad, but more or less on the same point as I am. Technology drives human progress, some could argue it -is- human progress and the idea that there is anything to fear from computers or "nanobots" is about as ridiculous as believing "The Matrix" is based on a true story.

Luddites have existed in our society (by that I mean First world) for a long time. The ITS is just another in a long list of people conspiratorially whispering about things William Gibson wrote about in fiction 20 years ago.
would you elaborate? i guess i agree for historical reasons but for practical reasons i think package managers actually should use /usr/local/. basically everyone uses a package manager now (except lfs). where would you like package managers to install.

Interesting to contrast Mr. Gosling's account to this one: http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_AIR_SHOW_CRASH?SIT...

A lady ~90ft (or nearly twice the distance from the disaster as Mr. Gosling) from the accident said, "I saw body parts and gore like you wouldn't believe it. I'm talking an arm, a leg," Higgins said "The alive people were missing body parts. I am not kidding you. It was gore. Unbelievable gore."

I'm inclined to believe both of these are true, but I would not be surprised if one of these witnesses, in their understandable shock, had their minds fill in the blanks in their memories, wiped clean by stress. I've been through a firefight or two myself and IMO these life-and-death situations are a mix of crystal clarity and swiss cheese memory. Sometimes the brain puts things there that weren't.
