HELP I can't login to my account
Is it just me or is 1 in every ~200 clients just plain nuts?

Just about every day I must get 5 emails stating "Hey, can't login right now, what's up?" or "Your login form is broken".

This happens every day, when I have changed nothing. Meanwhile a few thousand clients seem to be able to login just fine. That, or they're incredibly shy.

Is this a common occurrence among password requiring websites? Or is my simple php cookie implementation perhaps too simple and people are indeed having real problems?

I imagine you'd just enter your Dropbox password into a migration form and have everything seamlessly pulled in. In fact, Google might even let you sync back, but Dropbox could add it easily it if not. By nature these services have to inter-operate.

There are several classes of programs that can be proved to halt. Any non-recursive program without a loop halts. In addition to that, our research group in grad school showed that some looping programs can also be proved to halt as long as they are marked with loop termination clauses that can be proved to hold for the program in question. Look to Ohio State RSRG for more info.

One integer variable is enough, because it effectively gives you infinite memory. Three times infinite memory is as much as one times infinite memory. What matters is not the number of integer variables, but which operations you're allowed to do on them. If 3 integer variables i,j,k with operations o1,o2,...,on are enough to encode a stack, then you can do the same with one integer variable x. You just represent i as all the bits in x whose position is 0 mod 3, j as all the bits whose position is 1 mod 3 and k as all the bits whose position is 2 mod 3. Then you just modify operations to only work on those bits that the operation applies to.

For example if you have an operation increment_i, and you start with i=j=k=0 then it works like this:

ijkijkijk...
start: i=0,j=0,k=0 and x = 000000000...
increment_i: now i=1,j=0,k=0 and x = 100000000...
increment_i: now i=2,j=0,k=0 and x = 000100000...
increment_i: now i=3,j=0,k=0 and x = 100100000...
increment_i: now i=4,j=0,k=0 and x = 000000100...

And if you increment_k then it works on the other bits:

ijkijkijk
increment_k: now i=4,j=0,k=1 and x = 001000100...
increment_k: now i=4,j=0,k=2 and x = 000001100...
increment_k: now i=4,j=0,k=3 and x = 001001100...
increment_k: now i=4,j=0,k=4 and x = 000000101...

I'd much rather have an "arrogant" CEO who is aware of how internal processes slow down and spend time thinking about it than someone who don't know or care. Obviously, some companies are better at this than others (as you yourself hinted at in another comment). Page just wants Google to be best at this. Ambitious, perhaps. Arrogant, not so much.
A little known fact: the vast majority of grants (by volume of cash) are technically awarded to the professor's university rather than to the professor him/herself, giving the university broad control over the product of the professor's research. At least, this is the case in the life sciences.

From time to time, this yields something good. Props to the grad school I dropped out of :)

I don't recall economists saying it (I didn't listen) but every trivial housing metric said we'd been overpriced since the 90s. I saw people buy condos they couldn't pay for with rent in twenty-five years, if ever - if all went well. The rule is that 10-12 years gross rent is the highest reasonable purchase price.

Any economist who didn't call the bubble, and painful end of it, wasn't trying.

Sometimes I think the academic publishing mechanisms are broken. It takes so much time for your idea and research to be visible... you write the paper, it get reviewed, presented on a conference, published in journals and then months/years later someone actually sees it.

Compare that to the web, where an elaborate blog post and a project on GitHub is enough to become visible to the entire world within hours.

Percentage wise, how much influence did academic papers have on your day to day work in the last year compared to new stuff you found on the web?

Show HN:  Launching my humble site, attachcache.com
Hello,

I've been hacking on a site off and on since early 2010, and now I'm totally out of motivation and ideas, so I'm throwing up my hands (and a URL!) and hoping for some feedback.

This started out as a 100-line python script and grew to something more ambitious. I built the site to scratch my own itch, and because I had a hunch that it might be useful to other people, but now I'm at a technical/spiritual impasse.

The basic idea is to mirror a Gmail account's attachments, and make them instantly searchable/sortable. The original idea was to provide a single email address per user account which can accept and parse attachments (i.e., via forwarding), but I found myself gravitating toward sync. So both sync and email forwarding are currently supported, but I'm not sure how stable it will be under load (or any part of the site, for that matter).

I'm really interested to know if anyone has ideas for more features (I have a few of my own), and also whether you think there is a market for this site. There are definitely bugs, so caveat emptor:

https://attachcache.com

Please try it out and let me know what you think.

Thanks!

Noah
It's my understanding that research done at government labs comes with a similar restriction, and that it's been standard practice for years for these researchers to reserve copyright on their publications. If that's true, then this will give Princeton researchers the leverage they need to retain copyright to their publications. Even though there's theoretically a waiver process, I'm going to bet that most authors won't want to go through that process, since the work is more valuable to them if they retain the ability to distribute it themselves.

Every time I've voted (in Sweden), at least two observers check that the right number of ballot papers have been received and then they place the ballot papers in the sealed ballot box in full view of both the voter and the observers. It would be basically impossible (barring a conspiracy between the poll workers and observers) to either toss out a ballot or chuck in an extra ballot without being spotted.
Really like it when compared to SlideShare for three reasons:

1. The actual slides are bigger.

2. There are no advertisements overlaid on the slides.

3. You can download a PDF of the slides, without having to sign up.

Ask HN: What expense tracking software do you use(to track receipts)?
Which expense tracking software do you use?

We are looking for a solution that includes receipt tracking. We can't seem to find a decent service that provides this. We are under the assumption its mandatory for taxes/writeoffs, but even widely used services like quickbooks and indinero don't include this feature. Are we off base here? How do you track your expenses?
Agreed!

I worked for a large Japanese hardware company many years ago. They had an entire floor full of programmers (YES, not kidding!!!) who were working on a new software product and when the first beta versions started to surface our guys in Europe saw how bad and hopeless it was. So they assembled a small competing team of 3 guys in Europe (I did the software design and coding – it was actually my first real job!). The headquarters provided all the necessary documentation and 1 year later we had a working product finished before them!!
I think one of the major problem was that they had incompetent managers and nobody questioned their authority/ideas. Everyone did what they were told! No independent thinking! Seems like a cultural thing to me.

> anything that a single-taped Turing machine can do (such as writing a GUI or writing to a screen).

Wait, those are the things a Turing machine CANNOT do! A Turing machine has no input or output, the computation it defines is purely a function of what's on its tape before and after its work (when it halts).

> If you a priori disconnect your Turing machine from the screen

Again this makes no sense, the ('a priori') defintion of a Turing machine does not include a screen, so there's nothing to disconnect. It's really just the tape.

And no, it's quite a stretch to claim that person A could be talking about universality, the blog post says he was asking about GUIs so that's squarely a practical question.

> or [...] thinks that other people lump all possible hardware limitations into Turing completeness.

I have no idea how you arrive at this from the blog post.
Yes but it doesn't help with thing not directly code related, environmental stuff etc... Which is usually the stuff I end up googling come to think of it.

Plus to dive into the code you have to have a reasonable idea where to start to look for your problem which can also be a barrier in a complicated project where the comments / guides / documentation is in English.

Just makes their jobs that much harder.
But you do track users, and did track users in ways you've quickly stopped, so it's obviously not a moral issue. It's an issue of dodging blame for this or that specific tactic.

> you guys can line up to say I'm lying

You say that as if people should be ashamed for presuming the modern American corporation is lying to them. I've been directly and obviously lied to by representatives of many companies and they've all played the victim like you are.

If this is official have Zuckerberg say something legally binding.

> it is quite obviously impossible for me to prove otherwise.

Not at all. As a corporation, allow independent auditors to monitor certain key filtering systems to make sure you couldn't be receiving data you say you don't intend to log.

As an engineer you could leak the policy memos. And I mean leak, not get permission to post some redacted version.
Tizen appears to be replacing MeeGo. The MeeGo blog has a post "What's next for MeeGo": https://meego.com/community/blogs/imad/2011/whats-next-meego

As Samsung are on board, I guess Tizen may be taking parts of their existing Linux platform: http://jeffhoogland.blogspot.com/2011/02/samsung-is-backing-...
It's a good point, but then Apple should name the iPhone along the lines of "iPhone (fourth generation)" and not "iPhone 4" for example.
Sadly, Apple do not yet have their own orbital launch capability... though maybe it's not so far fetched looking at the characters that do!
Our model allowed us only to do INC, DEC and ZERO? on a counter, and it's easily seen that you cannot implement 2 counters using 1 counter with only ZERO?, INC and DEC, for instance by noting that you can recognize a^n b^n c^n language using automaton with two counters, you can (trivially) implement automaton with one counter using pushdown automaton, so if you were able to implement 2 counters using 1 counter, you could recognize a^n b^n c^n using pushdown automaton, which is easily seen to be impossible by applying pumping lemma for context free languages and usual characterization of pushdown automatons in terms of context free languages.
From a source that was at Nokia/Meego: "Summary: Intel has joined LiMo project. Samsung has renamed it to save Intel's face. Qt is abandoned and KDE too is hurt unless . . . unless HTC takes MeeGo!"
"Tizen will provide a robust and flexible environment for application developers, based on HTML5 and Wholesale Applications Community (WAC)"

"If you can do a test, a loop, and a write, you're Turing complete IIRC."

No. What you got is a while-program. The main limitation of a while-program is the finite number of variables it has. Its computational power therefore depends on the data types it can work on.

Of course if you have stacks, dynamic arrays or equivalent then you're basically Turing-complete. Even if all you have is unbound integer arithmetic, you can emulate the infinite tape on the bits of a large integer.

If you only have finite types, then the while-program obviously has a finite number of states, so it's equivalent to an FSM.

But there is another thing, maybe Japanese see programming as Engineering. A respected craft, but you don't reuse much of electrical engineering output between projects, neither expect youe engineers to take care of the product side of the product.

Quite the opposite, programming is seen as a grunt work which anyone can do by many of companies.
I'm trying to understand your concern. While the general public may not interface with new research until it gets published, the researcher's colleagues typically hear about big findings within weeks, or at worst months (conferences).

If you're not in field X, you won't hear about new research until later. But if you're not in field X, how often does it matter that you weren't on the bleeding edge of something in that field?
I completely agree. Additionally, what I find disturbing from billswift's comment is that he "flags" it for political reasons, but he is someone who has previously submitted articles with a political tint:

- Libertarianism and Science Fiction: What's the Connection?. That is a disappointing attitude.

High-percentage positive reviews, how I deal with them:

Read the negative reviews. Your answer is there. Positive reviews generally tell you very little about the product that the product page doesn't already tell you. Negative reviews are much more informative. If the negative reviews are only written by mouthbreathers who naysay anything, you know you've probably got a good product. If your negative reviews start picking up on issues, especially if they agree, you've got a good indication of the stumbling blocks.

I've always found negative reviews a lot more informative about the quality (rather than utility) of a product.

Just for interest's sake can anyone point to this 'promise' of a free upgrade to version 2? I bought TM1 and it played no part on my buying decision because I was not not aware of any such guarantee.

If this promise was made then IMHO his best option is to adopt the Firefox/Chrome numbering scheme: stabilise and release whatever he has now as TM2.

He should also change the licensing to free updates for 12 months from date of purchase and continue working on TM3.
Don't you know what map is? But you claimed to be an old Perl programmer?

I wrote "Python can't have nice a map() syntax", because of its lack of code blocks. And that list comprehensions seems like a one-statement kludge of the map functionality.

How could I have been clearer?

OK... second attempt to explain this point: :-)

List comprehension seems to me like a one statement replacement of a map function (and that one-statement often makes you think of Perl golf.)

And a third attempt: :-)

It seems to me that list comprehension would never have been implemented -- if Python had added (optional) support for ';' (+ '{'/'}') and hence code blocks. That is because Python would then use map() instead of list comprehensions (like all other scripting languages, lisps, etc).

(Also, a side effect of optional ';' support would mean that Python wouldn't be worthless garbage as a bash cmd line tool.)

But please enlighten me about use cases not done clearer/better with code blocks?

I note that you don't argue about the fan bois point... :-)
Bad names are good for SEO. Good names have no intrinsic SEO value.

e.g. Twitter, Skype, Foursquare are all pretty good names. But have no SEO benefit.

e.g. local-activities.com is good for SEO, but I've already forgotten it, it's so generic.

So do you want to build a big business, or just a nice tickover organic traffic-based business. That's the decision. If it's the former, go for a great name. If it's the latter, go with SEO.

Perhaps as a counterexample: in my day to day work, I write numerical code. Academic papers are still a better influence as compared to stuff that can be found directly on the web. To be fair, given that a lot more academics are making their work available on their websites, and I can see where this situation might reverse in the not-so-distant future.
It's strange how so many people are waiting for a number.

As far as I can tell, there have been almost no feature promises, so the TM developer would be perfectly within his rights to add the 1 or 2 promised features, bump the version to 2, and fulfil his contractual obligations.
