It's also no longer the case that a single person can build a commercially competitive automobile or airplane. Even ignoring all the relevant regulations, most people buying those things expect features like anti-lock breaking and navigation systems and wings that are not made out of canvas stretched across cunningly-bent pieces of wood.

On the other hand, a modern kit car would make the young Karl Benz green with envy. A modern kit airplane would make the Wright brothers... well, they were pretty emotionally reserved, but I think I can safely say they would be intensely interested in every single aspect.

I think the main part he leaves out is that not only do we have better, more complex tools, we have better, more complex tools to build tools. The continuing expansion of expectations is only natural given our continuing expansion of capacity.

Yeah, the advantage of Stripe (not having to learn about this) makes it a great choice if you don't have a deep, burning academic interest in payment systems. Plus, it's a pretty good rate (at huge volumes, you could probably get the same rates, but would need to commit to high minimums), and very well supported.

The Quake Engine has been running inside browsers for ages.

Also if you speak about portability. Flash really isn't very portable when you compare it with the platforms supported by Webkit. Flash has always been a huge mess when it comes to this. Webkit and Gecko are pretty much up to date, but many people hardcode browser checks instead of just asking whether the browser supports certain stuff. I think that's the biggest problem - well, besides the market share of outdated IE versions of course.

Hey, I'm a pianist and I have a few ideas you might consider.

1. Let me pick the colour with the numbers 1-9.
2. Let me play notes with the keyboard. (I'm not sure the best way to assign the keys, but I'm sure you can come up with something).
3. Let me play chords.

That would be awesome. Great work so far!

Ask HN: Your tips on working getaways across the globe
I recently quit my job to take a year off from cubicle life. Instead of idling, my plan is to work for myself. The dream is fairly typical: build products and reach ramen/paradise profitability before my savings run out.

As the work only requires a laptop and an internet connection, I'm pretty much free to do it from anywhere in the world. My idea is to make trips (1-3 months) to great places with low living costs.

I'm sure other people here have been in a similar situation. Any good experiences or recommendations for global work getaways? Somewhere inexpensive, enjoyable, with fairly reliable internet connections. To me, finding a good place to stay is the hardest part. Hotels and 2-month stays don't really mix.

(My original plan was to go to Guilin in China for two months this fall. I calculated that the savings in living consts would roughly cover the plane ticket during that stay. Unfortunately, the plan got cancelled due to an ill-timed health issue. I still want to go there, but not in January.)
Erm... The piano allowed dynamic volume; a serious improvement over the harpsichord.

I hate to pick at your example, 'cause I agree with you in spirit. Your harpsichord/piano example was just... Well, exactly my point. The piano was a major improvement over the harpsi; I hope the same will be said of Overtone. That's all.
This is the kind of things I could lose days to. Well done.

Max is very cool - however the biggest issue for me is its lack of support for abstractions. This typically results in an insanely complicated visual program for everything except for the most trivial examples.

One of the core goals for Overtone is to provide the means for musicians to share their ideas through a programming-language-like notation. This means readability and understandability are at least, if not more important, to expressiveness with the language.

Overtone should be easy to grok, not appear to be some cryptic puzzle.
I really have to say that this is in poor taste.
I understand the instinct- The Snowpocalypse was a really different thing, though. This is profiting off a beloved man's death.

From a practical standpoint-

Even if you gussy it up, and donate it all to charity, it's still tasteless. Honestly, I think that if people see this, they'll be less likely to think favorably on whatever OTHER projects you do.

Further, shirts won't ship for 2 weeks, which means that by the time people get the shirts, they won't be able able to wear them to show support in the "heat of the moment"
That makes it really useless.

Further still, you missed the "market window" if you will, which was entirely last week.
I feel dirty even typing this.

Oh, one last practical point- I don't believe you have the copyright on that image. Jonathan Mak does, and he didn't give a license for it to be on T-Shirts. He has said that no money should be made from it.

It doesn't work morally, it won't work as a business, and it makes you look bad.

I think GPL sounds good... but at the same time... people who use Yipit's API may be trying to create cool sites that generate a bit of revenue. Does that mean MIT is the way to go? Or is there some middle grounds...
And yet, Mike Pall singlehandedly wrote LuaJit2 which is, by far, the best ever compiler for a dynamic language. None other comes close at this time.
Unfortunately, it is, it was and it will always be necessary to spy on people who are suspicious of committing a crime. Proper surveillance has saved uncountable lives.

Years ago, police was using cameras and directional microphones. But as technology evolves, the methods to prevent crime have to envolve as well. To not allow the police to use the same technology as the criminals would actually endanger stability of the society. If you don't agree, have a look at what happened and happens in Africa all the time as an extreme example to what happens it mankind lives without proper regulations.

The key point that needs to be discussed is not whether this kind of technology should be used, it's how and who is allowed to use it. Countries need a proper separation of powers. And the use of surveillance should only under any circumstances be approved by the independed jurisdiction.

Personally, if you can get one pedophile or terrorist I wouldn't care if the whole police of Germany would share my Jena Jameson collection.

Being a pascifist is a luxury that cannot necessarily be afforded by everyone. Competition is an inextricable part of life, and military force still trumps most other forms of competition as a last resort. The next disruption in military technology has arrived, and those that dominate this type of warfare will likely dominate future battles, just as the American air force has allowed the American military to dominate since WW2. I wish it weren't so, but having a strong military is still important, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. If you're not the strongest, and you're not friends with the strongest, you lose a lot of self determinism. So, it's important that we focus on making the best unmanned combat vehicles possible, if only to be able to maintain the luxury of pacifism, because people in other countries don't necessarily share your moral qualms.
I used it may be once when it was in beta and then never touched. The thing is, C# as well as Java have poor startup time which becomes the biggest problem of using any of such applications.

I think... Maybe... I'm getting it. Kind of. Probably not.

By wiring the CPU directly to the RAM, to use your metaphor, then we can entirely bypass the ASM stage of "a program" (but then what is a program if not a sequence of instructions?) and therefore we may better predict which data our program needs at runtime? Thereby caching that data more effectively than the random access patterns of Von Neumann?

Basically, instead of "accessing a pointer causes its data to be cached into L1", it would be... Well, I have no idea. Something else?

Here are my points of confusion, sorry:

1) in this non-Neumann paradigm, there will still be "data", in the traditional sense, right? (Or is "everything a program"?)

2) then... There will surely still be "caches" for that data, yeah? (Or is that what I'm missing? But without caches, I don't understand how it could be faster.)

But yeah, I don't want to waste anyone's time... certainly not anyone of your guys' caliber. Don't feel compelled/obligated to reply or anything. :)

I've always dreamed about being self-employed, living off the profits of my own products. Finally, a few months ago, I quit my job with enough savings for a year to have a go at it.

In a way, I didn't just quit the job to start coding. The main reason was to see if I actually wanted the life I'd been daydreaming about. I figured there was no way to know without trying. So far, I've enjoyed every day of it. Working on what I want has been amazing for motivation and productivity.
Once drones become prolific, they will start killing drones instead of people and maybe we can have a bloodless war the same way we have paperless offices.
In fact one can earn revenue from the sites using your work if you have released under GPL, but they must licence their work in GPL. If you release your work in MIT Licence the developer need not licence his work in MIT he may keep it has closed source.

Generally it's not a good idea to say things like that to large audiences, due to exactly what you're pointing out here -- it will misunderstood, and taken literally.

For the correct individual, all of those statements drive home the importance breaking of mental constructs -- literally. That's the root point.

Again, everything GK was talking about, SJ tries to explain the root of it here:

I'm not a pacifist. You hit me I hit back. But I decide that on a case-by-case basis and to give others the ability to indiscriminately kill people that I have no beef with sounds like a very bad idea.

Collateral damage is such a terrible term.
Actress Kristin Davis adopted a baby daughter named Gemma Rose Davis
World War II wasn't unavoidable. If the West, particularly France, had pursued a less vindictive peace with Germany after the first world war, the circumstances that brought Hitler to power would not have existed. Specifically, the unsustainable reparations on Germany, and the French decision to occupy the German coal regions in the 1920s, destabilized the German economy and destroyed the Weimar Republic.
Well now that you mention it... Haha! :) Actually I was thinking, and perhaps adding to many features would make it harder to be musical without any previous experience.
I believe Yipit does allow commercial usage. Since they allow you to save your affiliate-id's for many of the deals sites they aggregate and they build those into the links their API returns to you. The python-twitter uses the Apache license I believe. Where does that lay in the spectrum?
Top Bad public art
This is not surprising and actually a textbook example of how single-issue-parties see their ideas absorbed by parties with a more complete program.

It is actually a good thing, not a bad thing, as long as a political party actually delivers on their campaign issues.

And therein lies the crux, more often than not these items become bargaining chips.

Maybe democracy could be strengthened by putting penalties on the breaking of campaign promises and non-performance on issues from the various programs.

It'd be great to see politicians and party bodies held accountable to the promises they made to the electorate.

Already at least one party has written their program in the form of a 'contract', in that case there ought to be a penalty for breach of contract too.

Nice! I'm writing a Python API client at the moment - a couple of suggestions:

1. It's worth taking a look at DictShield https://github.com/j2labs/dictshield or Colander (https://pylonsproject.org/projects/colander/dev/) as a way to formalise your API definition and minimize the amount of boilerplate you have to write. I'd recommend DictShield - the author j2labs is very active on HN and is a really approachable guy.

2. Related to 1 - the Requests library (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/requests) is higher level than urllib* - again using this should help you to reduce boilerplate...

Happy coding!
Wow, this is amazing.

I completely ignored HTML5 audio after a couple of abortive attempts at using it to make something for an iPhone web toy, but seems to show it's not quite as terrible anymore.
> [western world citizens] are today under more intense surveillance than the Stasi could have ever dreamed of [...]

I keep hearing that, and I'm sorry, but it's pure sensationalist bullshit.

At the end, the Stasi employed one secret informer per ~90 citizens (!), and one official employee per ~180 citizens. That was the (proportionally) biggest secret service that ever existed. The Stasi kept tabs on more or less anything happening in the Eastern German society, down to what individual people had for lunch, and had infiltrated every organisation within its reach.

I can understand disagreement with things like this Bundestrojaner. But spouting ridiculous, sensationalist comparisons like these only harms a legitimate issue by painting its adherents as raving zealots.

Well this isn't inflammatory political choir-preachery that should be flagged.
I think it's really clever how the game makes it very difficult to NOT sound good! The timing of the notes seems to snap to the tempo exactly (e.g., there's a delay when you hit a note too early) and the limited scale of notes all sound good together.

I've played a few HTML5/Flash music games lately, and all of them give enough flexibility with sounds to easily become messy when played with multiple players (especially with trolls!). This game makes the player feel like they're good at music. Great work!

Thank you all for great comments. I think I should add a few more words here.

In my case playing music (and recently composing) is just a way to break from daily activities or relax in spare time. I used to do it years ago and somehow this year I started doing it again. This is why I do not intend on spending money on it (like > 22$/30EUR/100PLN), just want to use whatever best free tools are out there.

By best in terms of music prototyping I mean the most effective ones:

- giving the possibility to quickly store my musical ideas, like by supporting input from playing on a computer keyboard
(by "live performances", mind I used scare quotes also in starting message, I meant rather playing for recording purposes than for amusing of others than me in the room),

- allowing me to easily rearrange, tune and mix my crafted pieces.

Once again, literal score is not the purpose of music prototyping, but some way of saving the music sketches, overwriting and enhancing them, etc., just working on them (but doing it in a efficient manner) seems crucial to me, as otherwise I'll lost idea before writing it down or won't have enough time to tediously input it in clunky tracker/sequencer/staff editor/whatever.

No comment explicitly addressed my wish for rapid prototyping/transcribing (don't get me wrong, I am not complaining here just stating the fact), but I've seen some new app names that I'll try to test later and check how they fit (if at all) in my idea of composing/music recognition workflow.

Maybe I'll have to prototype my own tool for music prototyping one day. :)
Work all right with my Chrome 14 on Ubuntu 10.10, but doesn't work if you drop a second time without going back to home.
Thanks for your comment. I am aware of digital trackers (I mentioned modplug), was even using FastTracker 2 back in the old days (but not for a long time). I like scene music, especially old school chip tunes.

I heard about renoise before. I'll maybe try its trial version, but I doubt trackers are really what I am looking for as they lack proper recording feature (at least the ones I tried). Check also the comment in my new thread.
I would say yes, SC really is that complicated. sclang borrows from a bunch of different programming philosophies, so you have declarative stuff alongside imperative stuff, plus it is flexible to the extreme, with various 'equivalent' syntax constructs to achieve the same thing, and innumerable 'shortcuts'. Meaning that it's very easy to write obscure, hard to read code. Plus, it's not just a matter of knowing sclang - the whole sever graph architecture needs to be understood to really 'know' SC. I think there are probably very few people that really understand all of it.
By that I mean GPL seems to be very open-source and MIT seems to allow people to close up the code.
Thank you for comment. See also the comment in my new thread. 549EUR for Sibelius 7 isn't cost I would afford for kind of hobby-like stuff, even though I heard some good things about it. There is also no Linux version (my main OS, but I have Windows). Does Sibelius really lessen that much your hair pulling efforts?

Great score editing alone is not what I need, but it's surely a nice feature to have. I heard some good things also about Finale or sophisticated SCORE too.

I cannot tell I am really educated music fellow (know basics, though, like triplets and many other things, what I really lack is possibly music composing theory and similar knowledge), so to some degree I agree with you about problematic over-simplicity of trackers in terms of proper music input.

I know that a lot of folks is still using Cakewalk Professional v3.01 (which is free!) for MIDI sequncing. If I get to MIDI stuff again, I'll have to revisit it after these 15 years. I remember I liked it back then.

Didn't know there is such USB keyboard (but I felt that there should be something like that). Thanks for informing me about it and apps I didn't know before.

Two octaves (actually almost three) I could easily get on computer keyboard (not that convenient, I know), so it doesn't look that useful to me, also because 2 octaves are not enough for most of two-hand plays.

So Renoise has computer keyboard as music keyboard mode? Good to know. I'll have to check it whether it works as I would like it too.
Thanks for your comment. Point-and-click is not what I am looking for (at least for input stage), but I'll look at it later. It's not that I cannot spend some money, but I would like to definitely avoid additional expenses (see also comment in my new thread).
Well thats why we are a 'start'-up, we have the start part down just need to get at he up part :-0
Oh, I probably missed that in the flood of submissions about Steve Jobs' death.
Thank you for comment. Did not hear about rumor before. I'll have to definitely check this out, even though it's not suited for prototyping. I'll test Csound too.
