I bet this was with regard to making the ruling marks on the sleeve. In which case - CNC etching & laser marking isn't that much different and could have just been the Chinese trying to optimize costs - which frankly makes a lot of sense for something like this in my mind.
The board is not suppose to run the company. The "board" represents the shareholders (usually), overseas the CEO and sometimes runs PR. The CEO (and his exec's) are suppose to run the company.

Now usually there's a nice co-existence between the board and it's top execs since both depend on each other.

In HP's case the board IS trying to run the company. And worse, it's not supporting it's chosen CEO. Big mistake.

There's a lot of value in HP. Which is why after all the stupid shit the board has done the company is still alive.

We'll see if Whitman can cut through the board and get it all right. She has to pretty much force out those board members who aren't behind her. Not easy to do in any envionment.

I've mentioned those findings here before. It's great to have them listed. It's fascinating that, even with all their limitations and age, they fall so completely on one side of the question - the opposite side to what a lot of sophisticated programmers believe.

The last time we debated this on HN, there was a disagreement about how much complexity the interactions between functions add to a program. To me, complex call graphs are even worse than complex code inside a function. I was surprised to learn that an opposing view even existed.

I'd still like to see open standards for IM and video/audio chat. And I think Google was ahead of itself with Wave.

I'd use it as a back-end;a way to archive everything I say online in any format. Include pictures/files sent, maybe include those linked as well. And include correctable transcripts of audio in metadata for searching.

See the competition now between Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc. Consider how they could vary their services if they were all cataloging that much more.

Maybe I'm idealistic, but I think there's still room for a "Google moment" where someone comes along and does something else so well, we're amazed that everyone hasn't always been doing it that way. Though honestly, at this taste, Google may just get there first.

I don't know if the online classes will cover the same, less, or more material than the equivalent classes at Stanford. However, if they cover the same material, both classes combined are about half of a full-time student's workload in terms of academic units, but SUBSTANTIALLY more than half of a full-time's student's workload in terms of effort/hours. The material is difficult and the assignments are challenging. Expect to spend 10-20 hours of intensive work per week on each class.

Landscape Photography Techniques
An expanse of scenery that can be seen in a single view is said to be Landscape Photography. This is a very interesting subject and there is no end to how much you can capture. You have to get out a find a location that is beautiful. Capture the beautiful surroundings in such a way that it stays in the memories of the viewer forever and ever. However, some techniques are required to master this photography. You can also make use of the techniques that is built in the camera. Many techniques are used and discussed by different photographers; we will however discuss few of them below.

Its about some guy and his wife that had zero sailing experience and decided to sail around the world, pretty entertaining book.
I've heard of skippers going at guys with winch handles. If you're going to do distance sailing i.e. more than 5 days at sea, it's best to invite a well interviewed/researched stranger as crew rather than your best friend. That way you risk gaining a new friend rather than losing an old friend. If you're crew, talk to other crew about the skipper before you commit. People behave in unexpected ways on long trips. Some of them are awesome, in the galley every day baking bread, doing the dishes in rough seas, etc. Others get really weird, stay in their cabins and sulk, throw random temper fits, etc. Some skippers are awesome, chilled. Others have reputations for being psycho assholes [not mentioning names].

Reflecting on my Summer at 500Startups
You'd be amazed at how many terrible products stay afloat simply because they get the job done, people don't know about alternatives, are too lazy to change, and the cost of change isn't worth it. Especially in enterprise. I'd venture to say it's way more common than not.
Our coding standard was very strict. It was not possible to cheat and save lines by writing, eg:

if (func()) a = 1;

You had to write:

if (func())
a = 1;

Writing very complex C programs with functions <= 25 lines is definitely possible. All Epita students were routinely doing it!
Whoa, hugh3 had a question about pens, and we've multiplied it into cars, suits, watches, steaks, and laptops?

Those are all fascinating topics, but maybe we could take them one at a time? :-)

I thought the original question was sincere: he wasn't sarcastically saying there's no difference between these pens and a 50 cent Bic. On the contrary, he was asking in the genuine spirit of hacker curiosity: what is it that makes these pens special and interesting and worth building?

Edit: In other words, hugh3 was looking for this page:

I'm just not ready to bet against Apple. I think we're at the point where the only way for anyone to take any significant chunk of profit from Apple's [growing] core business, is for Apple to have a couple significant missteps.
The comments reading seems to diverge from the main post, but was fun reading anyway.

When I face the same problem and when my head is full of all the noisy - "why is this thing not working, I think I did everything right" s

- I stroll around, walk a mile or two
- have some coffee there at some store
- look at the people there and think - 'what is running on their mind? Not a buggy code,I guess'
- and then come back, stare at the screen and voila! there it is! An insignificant pesky ';' was missing!

So, yes, walk away from your computer.
What you and your computer have is a relationship and you need to spend some time apart to realize what you're missing in there.And to get it to work. ;)

Original discussion: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3035418
Judging from my experiences, several of these studies may be missing a major confounding factor: the complexity of the problem the code solves. All my longest methods are rather stupid output formatting stuff or if/else cascades that handle tedious by mostly trivial distinctions.
But for code that solves hard problems I often write many small functions for independent steps of the solution.

So the studies that measure method length/bug count correlation within a single code base or in code written within a single organization might only measure the fact that code that requires no thinking contains fewer bugs than code that does. Paging Captain Obvious. Some of the other studies address that (e.g. Shen 1985 and the code comprehension studies), but as it is so often the case in quantitative studies of things related to programmer productivity, we lack repeated measurments where the only variable is the independent factor whose influence is studied.

Most users aren't on any of those, Amazon could have a good quarter and sell more of their tablet than all of those combined.

That said, it's going to be half (or even less) the price and have seamless access to a very wide array of content. I don't think they're worried about the Xoom, or the discontinued TouchPad and or the new Galaxy Tab that's illegal to sell in most major markets... They're clearly leveling up against the iPad.
Relift XS Cream
ReliftXS Cream anti wrinkle cream is also suitable for virtually all types of skin. Simply by applying it on your forehead, cheeks and neck, you can wipe away most of the wrinkles that have formed over the years. ReliftXS Cream anti aging cream also works beautifully on skin that has been damaged through years of exposure to UV rays and pollution, or skin that has that characteristic dry look from smoking.
Learn the basics on a dingy but dont' turn it into a meal. Larger boats are very different to dingy sailing. e.g. you'll find yourself purely working a grinder or being ballast on the weather rail. Dingy racing is short, real-time and the moving parts are a little different. e.g. no spinnaker poles on small boats, most big boats don't have dagger boards, big boats have spinnaker, gennaker, several jib's, often with roller-furling etc - so quite different.

Distance skippers (deliveries or racing) look for guys with a strong stomach who don't mind packing sails in the forward sail locker during a shitstorm or cleaning the galley or unblocking the toilet. People like that with a great attitude who come back asking for more and get along well with others are hard to find. There are some specific skills that help like knowing your way around a diesel engine, strong on navigation or knowing how to cook (well). Cruising in particular, most people who haven't spent time cruising have no idea how much time you spend repairing diesel engines. You'll get very used to the awesome smell of fresh diesel or diesel exhaust washing around the bilge.

I'm going to reiterate this: A strong stomach is important. My bro has found himself in 21 ft swells with a crew of four experienced sailors and 2 of them ended up lying in their bunks puking their guts out - completely debilitated and unable to help. Him and a 16 year old were left to get the boat out of the shit.

Personally I'm good for cruising trade-wind conditions but forget southern ocean deliveries/races. I don't have the sea legs for that. So know your limitations and crew accordingly.

If you're going to race, you'd beter get very very fit if you're going to work a grinder. I crewed an afternoon race around the cans once on a boat called America's Cup Challenge - it was a whitbread 60 - and worked the grinder with a friend. It's insanely hard work and my friend took pity on me after a few minutes and sent me back to the weather rail.

I would start by hitting ft lauderdale or another big sailing town and start networking like crazy - check the bulletin boards, grab beers with other crew, try to get on an afternoon race. There are a ton of guys, many of them non US citizens, who just show up in sailing towns each year and stay in a local crew youth hostel getting odd jobs until they line up a gig. Many of them have very little experience. If you're serious about racing you'll want to start working towards your skippers ticket. Good luck.
so if someone introduced a way to be on a small local area network with just you and your friends/family, without involving any third party servers (no xmpp or whatever else), would you guys be interested? encrypted of course, but based on "real world" trust (you already know each other in real life, you share a passphrase in person, the old fashioned way, no online pki conundrums).

is there a demand for this?

are people annoyed enough with facebook that they're ready for this?

Dynamic inconsistency
Manufacturing is so much more than cost. I don't about US, but I tell you about India I country that I live in.

I don't think as a country we will ever make up or compete with what China is doing currently. Although I can tell you you can hire people here at equally low prices. When you talk of manufacturing. The first sort is machine made the other ones are hiring human beings.

The latter sort of is what is most tricky. You need people who are ready to do a repetitive job, that can add nothing to their knowledge on the longer and are ready to work for long hours for cheap wages. Most of that work is generally precision work that you can't do with machines. With machines, its a different story. You begin to see how you can recover your investment over time. But with people, you have to start to look at scalability issues.

I don't know about America. But I think its worthwhile to ask a few questions.

a. Is it possible to hire such large volume of people at such low prices in America.

b. Will those people, be ready to work for long hours on repetitive mechanical oriented jobs. Which gives no value on a persons career on a longer run.

c. Since these jobs are low paying, the retirement long term financial benefits won't be exciting. The health care benefits won't be much.

d. Since industries have to be all at one place, for inventory co ordination, infrastructure issues et al. People will be forced to live in low rent houses. Often of sharing and accommodation basis. Is this lifestyle ok with those mass quantity of people.

The way I see American lifestyle is more driven by spending, and expenses are really high for an ordinary American. Both in terms of daily expenditure and other issues like sending kids to college and medical benefits.

The larger question is will the mass American crowd adopt to the lifestyle I describe?

If the answer is yes, I see no reason why this can't be done in the USA. In fact if it can be done, then it must be encouraged. The government must make it easy and facilitate them. Why should the average American suffer because of me in India or some one in China. If any thing that can be done here(India/China) it can be done there(America) if the conditions are suitable.(both in terms of economic and other factors).
Yes, but then the metric is no longer so charmingly trivial.

None of those missteps are on their core products. I'm talking something like Xbox 360's 33% failure rate (which doesn't even seem to have damaged their brand at all, surprisingly).

At this point, their brand is so strong, you'd need something huge...I can't even think of anything besides serious failure rates on iPhones or iPads.

> He equated the previous few CEOs of his (large) company to locusts.

I'm not sure locusts is correct, but mercenaries definitely is: in this day and age, short-tenure CEOs are brought in specifically to raise stock prices over the short term (or in rarer situations, to take the knocks coming with a change of direction leading to short-term raises of stock prices with the next mercenary), regardless of the long-term outlook of the company.

Their outlook is generally under 24 months, and their job is to do everything they can to artificially inflate stock price in that time-span. This leads to scorched eath strategies instead of long-term planning and sustainability, since they won't be there when trouble hits the door. It's basically the tragedy of the commons all over again.

Just have to chime in with one more "Quake changed my life", though perhaps even more so than most - loving Doom to death, I was _utterly_ obsessed with Quake modding and map making. Then I sensibly dropped out of college in 1997 and went to Raven Software to work as a programmer, where I got to work with the Quake engine while its paint was still wet, and even more so with Quake 2 while it was being developed. The amount of brilliant co-workers I had who came up through the mod community at that point is actually pretty astonishing, in hindsight.

FastCGI and SCGI were popular long before Rails and Django, they predate those by at least 10 years and were popular long before those appeared.

WSGI is not even remotely relevant to the discussion, from your mention of it I can only surmise you don't have any idea what you're talking about.
