Usually a trademark filing includes a boilerplate claim on obvious variations, and is writtent to be as broad as possible - it costs the same to submit an overbroad claim as a narrow one, and if the USPTO doesn't give you everything you ask for you haven't lost anything by trying.

Not a lawyer, you should consult one. Alternatively, just head over the to the USPTO and read some trademark filings, which will give you a feel for the process.

Yes, it flushes completely outputting all characters. None of which contain a newline.

Flushing doesn't automatically add newlines for you in C. It flushes the buffers you gave it, it doesn't make new stuff up to print out along with your buffers.
This is really a fuck you to people that used this operator, they could have chosen another single character but they really wanted to piss us off by making us surround the term thus making it a little bit more annoying to type, that is mean.

Maybe I mis-read something, but why was gnome running on a server?

Anyway, I feel the dude's pain. In the other direction, I'm one of those who hasn't used Windows on his home workstation in about 10 years. There are a few Windows-only apps at a new gig of mine that I am required to use, and I rage almost daily to this guy's level about the unusable, unstable garbage I must tolerate to earn a few bucks. I'm so fed up with maintaining the VM for this purpose, that I'm seriously contemplating renting a remote vnc/rdc-accessible Windows desktop just to purge my workstation of the monstrosity.

Lesson learned from this guy's rant? Different strokes for different folks. You couldn't pay me enough to be a dedicated Windows admin. If I can't do the job with an xterm, ssh, and vi, then it isn't worth the hassle for me.
This is very interesting, thank you so much for posting. I must say that I cringe when I see "Low numbers were discarded because of X" in surveys. There is always a reason for X, but if possibilities for X are not determined and justified prior to examining the data, then we are cherry picking.* I am glad though that the elimination of numbers was at least disclosed.

* People graduating with a degree from Stanford can be presumed to look for full time work at a salary sufficient to pay off student loans and live in a reasonable shelter and buy food and health care. Earning less than a restaurant manager as an intern is not what people choose, it's what they take when there are no better options. Discarding it as invalid salary information is not well justified ex post facto. If we decide in advance of gathering data to discard people doing internships because these are unfavorable situations and not average ones, why not also discard all the favorable situations that are not average ones as well, such as high salaries received in offers where the student has a relative or friend who helped him find an especially favorable position. Or any other arbitrary criteria chosen after the fact upon examination of the data.

QR codes are useful/useless depending on the way you engineer it, and the action that follows once when its read. We have integrated QR codes in our app, and the app comes with a QR scanner. It makes it so much easier to do several actions, and when we did our soft sales and customer feedback everyone loved the ease of use and the results. Actions like on reading a QR code taking you to a static website is rather useless. But, if upon reading a QR code you can initiate an action its pretty powerful.

I hate going down the line of stories on the main page and get confused by a job posting for a YC company.

It kinda feels a bit deceptive to not have it stand out - given that it is completely different.

If not a MAJOR color change to the entire title, have something subtle (that is a different color) that acts as a visual cue to tell us it is not a 'regular' HN story.

There are plenty of examples of these types of government backed deals. Disneyland being one of the most famous that nobody talks about but the tradition predates 'corporations' with the 'East India Company' being the both the first example of a large multi-national company and probably the most blatant example. Some of this is infrastructure like oil pipelines, but homestead land grants are both classic American expansionism and free handouts at the same time.

I'm getting suggestions over my original queries definitely for some time already, as I stated earlier. Maybe it's because I am constatly logged in, and this new "great feature" was postponed for general use, i.e. all users. There were cases of such incrementally introduced features before.
Well, you could always go for the short term releases is that is what you want.
In favor of what? Debian-based? I admin a ton of RHEL servers, I they give me little trouble.

People who don't regularly read The Economist probably ought to. It wears its biases on its sleeve, and is the only place in the English language press to find quality, in-depth coverage of parts of the world other than the Lower East Side and the Isle of Dogs.
It's more than the economics of owning a studio - Sony's ownership of their studios actively harms their other, actually profitable, product categories.

Look at the PSN's movie rental store - perpetually hamstrung by limited selection. Why would competing studios want to get into bed with one of their biggest competitors on their closed service?

Similarly, it creates internal conflicts of interest. Sony's electronics are constantly crippled when it comes to content, probably at the pressure of owning their own content themselves. For the longest time it was impossible to get any movies on a memory stick, forcing PSP users to buy them on expensive and battery-murdering discs instead. It took years to fix that mistake, but of course, by the time they did, public interest in mobile movies had basically all but disappeared.
It's just where I spend my time. It's not a huge priority. Also, many users, about 50%, don't have an email address. I made this choice to simplify signup, but the fact is that some folks just cannot recover their password automatically.

Same thought. Wonder if those titles are generated simply for a more descriptive url. In that case, I think writers are missing their target audience - humans.

Also this particular title strikingly resembles typical MS's writing signature such as "Buy a home, get a US visa, Senators propose"

It's about time someone shut these sensationalist scientists up. I was getting tired of the constant conflicting reports. Unless you can refute a 15-year longitudinal study with a longer study and a more concrete conclusion, keep your mouth shut.
Great site. But if you're interested in roguelikes I'd suggest starting with Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup instead (http://crawl.develz.org/wordpress/). Nethack's really showing its age these days and is missing a lot of key features. Crawl is more accessible to newcomers and is less tedious to play. But it is very much a roguelike in the spirit of Nethack.
Probably because of the Tim Ferris mention. That guy causes a strong spike on the bullshit-o-meter...
Social features are planned. The mobile app is juuuuust about done, and then Search, and a few customizations (mark as unread, oldest to newest, etc). Then I'm going to attack social and get some really wonderful and innovative community features built.

My biggest fear is that the community portion will be too popular and I'll have to find more time than the 1 hour a day I get to spend hacking on NewsBlur. I work on it only in my free time, you know.
I've been playing this game since the early 80's when it was called Hack, first on my friend's original IBM PC and then on my XT clone.

After a while, my friend's diskette got an error on it such that reading scrolls of identify would crash the game, so he finished the game without reading a single scroll. I have to admit I was impressed by that.

I still play it these days, but mainly when I'm flying on airplanes. It's perfect because it will last hours on my laptop since it's not power-intensive.
To preface, I think is a great idea; it is definitely a much easier way to sell a used item, however, there is no one this app is targeted towards.

What I mean is, this is not an app someone will likely keep on their phone for very long, nor is it something I'm going to download just to have there in case. A lot of people buy and sell used goods, but not a lot of people regularly buy and sell used goods.

An interesting use case for this (and perhaps more insight into what kind of demographic it should target), might be for a real estate agent who is regularly selling homes, taking photos, and uploading them.

The audience then has a centralized location to look through homes and are likely to keep the app for much longer as they look for a home.
It's also open-source: http://github.com/samuelclay. I'm very proud of the fact that I have taken in lots of input from the community and even some code.

Agreed. I gave my old 3GS to my kids (minus the SIM of course) when I got my 4. With IOS 5 it's still very smooth and responsive.
We also have an old 3G, though, and that's dog slow. But no one should be surprised by that - the 3G has an ARMv6 chip in it without thumb2. The 3GS with its ARMv7 chip was a huge step change in performance.
I did just that, thanks for the input. I actually went ahead and discarded the actual query strings being used; so I'm now logging access times, referrers and user agents only.

I agree that an extension may be better, although this may come handy when you're not using your computer or main browser.
I don't know about spending countless hours in NetHack, but... wow! great site!

cap with no ability to pay for more is not "solving the problem correctly". I use a multiple of the cap every month and I have a roommate who often uses at least the cap himself. Imagine a family of 5 where everyone actually uses the internet. The cap would not work.

If you break the cap twice there are no overage charges, they just disconnect you for a year, no matter what you're willing to pay. When they called me and said "use less or use nothing" and refused to suggest any way to let me pay for more of their product, that was extremely consumer hostile.

The only solution is the small business plans which are not capped, which they do not tell you about, but fortunately I found out about them in HN comments.
fwiw, minus still works to remove results...

My experience was quite the opposite. SICP was a "learn about computation" book with a lisp-like language as the least-unnecessary-complexity way of expressing it.

In comparison, Python has way too much cruft.
It does.

Given the massive amounts of attention shown to Jobs' death, mentioning him gives the article sensible context (especially considering that most Economist readers are unlikely to have hear of Ritchie).
I think open-source eventually replaces commercial products, in the same way that proprietary products become commoditized. The response for commercial products is also the same: continual differentiation, adding new features, benefits, support, documentation etc. Exceptions are also the same: natural monopolies (e.g. strong network effects).

Open-source is great at hill-climbing, where there are clear directions for improvement and especially for features that are obviously needed by users (provided the structure of the project is sufficiently modular to facilitate it), by tapping the collective intelligence of users.

It's not great at "hill-hopping": originating radically different products.
I believe honesty is absolutely essential for a good mentoring relationship. But it's sometimes counterproductive to be too blunt or too harsh. One way mentors can help the entrepreneur without coming across as negative or critical is to ONLY ASK QUESTIONS. Don't give advice. Don't lecture. Just ask a series of good questions. More often than not, while answering one of those questions the entrepreneur will have an aha moment on their own. Good questions from a trusted mentor have provided many a helpful knock-up-side-the-head for me -- without things getting adversarial or emotional.
Think of it as an open ending, there is still much more to come.
Manufacturing process and material science are critical to the education of industrial and product design. A designer that isn't thinking about how a product will be produced isn't really a good designer.

That actually seems like something that Google should be good at. In "The Plex", they talk at great length about the bigram/trigram problem (New vs. New York vs. New York Times) and the context of deciding when you're searching for a person versus a term.
Why? If you wouldn't do them later in life, why would you do them in your 20s either? Unless you mean things like claiming to be 23, which would be dishonest if you weren't.

I've seen the use of "this Babbage" in contexts where e.g. the New York Times would say "this reporter". This would seem to acknowledge that there are multiple authors for these blogs; they can be identified by initials and location at the top of the piece. This one's author, "G.F.", is Glenn Fleishman of Seattle Times and TidBITS fame.
Once, in Ubuntu 9.04, the cherrypy3 package was completely broken due to the upgrade to Python 2.6 [1]. (The version they were shipping at the time was 3.0.2, which was released in 2007.) Literally nothing worked. At all.

There was a new version of CherryPy that was Python 2.6 compatible, but they didn't upgrade to it. Instead, they had to go through the Stable Release Upgrade process, which took two months. Instead of upgrading the package from a version released in freaking 2007, they just added a patch that fixed the specific issue. And this was for software that was completely and totally broken. The chances that they would upgrade software that still worked fine but added some cool new features is just about zero.

I'm sure it's been considered before, but what would the cost of an open source search engine be?

I mean, Wikipedia manages to run itself on donations only.

How hard would it be for, say Mozilla to launch a search service?
Also, I've also thought of Silicon Valley investor, operator and notables networks as a type of graph problem. And, I've often thought of working towards a specific introduction as a type of graph traversal problem.

What node foo in this graph do I need to connect to? What nodes bar[] surround foo? What is the strength of each edge connecting bar[node] to foo?

Getting from node baz to node foo is recursive:

Get_to_Node_Foo( node baz ):
Look at all the edges and nodes surrounding baz. Are you next to foo? Ask for intro.
Else, move to the node that seems closest to foo.
get_to_node_Foo( that_new_node ).
These aren't some obscure "nice to know" functions...this isn't a "you don't have the manual memorized" gotcha question. Those functions are fundamental to writing JavaScript web applications...particularly at that point in time, but even in today's world of DOM libraries. At this point in time (and even today to a lesser extent) JavaScript's raison d'etre was to manipulate DOM objects and those functions are key to that.

That's like saying "Heart surgeons don't need to be able to draw a rough diagram of a heart when asked...they can always consult a medical textbook".

Sure...I agree with you that heart surgeons don't need to have every obscure cardiovascular disease memorized...but they need to have memorized the basic cardiovascular functions, how the heart works, what it looks like, etc. The same is true for programmers of any type...there is a base amount of information that you should just know in order to be considered proficient for a particular field.

If a candidate comes in and doesn't know this stuff, that doesn't necessarily mean you shouldn't hire them...however it does mean they are not proficient in whatever field and will need to be trained to some extent.

Also of course, as with any other sort of question; it could be they just had a "brain fart" or off day...but not asking these sorts of questions doesn't make that issue go away.

> to put it another way, there is certainly no ’true’ interface for digital information, but if there were one… I can’t imagine faux leather would be it.

I've wanted to make this argument in favour of sometimes using skeuomorphic (e.g. faux leather) design for a while:

All the other applications that come with Mac OS (say, iTunes, Mail.app, or iPhoto) have clearly-defined, strongly-typed content "atoms"—respectively, songs, messages, and pictures. The apps themselves just serve as magical databases with filters and specifiers to find and manipulate that content. They don't have to look like anything, because they're just "the box you put your music in" or "the box your get your mail from."

iCal and Address Book are the two main applications in the default set that break this pattern: they don't hold a clearly-defined type of content at all. It's just raw information: information about events, and about people, respectively. Because of this, you could get away with simply using text files for the same purpose, and nothing of value would be lost. It would even be as easy to sort and search, if you have a good text editor.

So Apple needs to offer a value proposition that makes a user want to use Address Book rather than a text file: familiarity in function and ease of learning curve. In a more design-oriented view, in cases where the data itself is arbitrary (you could technically store anything in a vCard), the software must bring over the rules and constrictions of the physical medium to give the proper context for the controls in the UI to actually afford their proper use.

A set of overlapping boxes means nothing; a set of overlapping boxes on a screen that looks like a calendar suggests what you should use the boxes for. A set of blank index cards seems to suggest no use whatsoever, until you bind them into a familiar rolodex-like facade.

You can see the same thing play out with the iOS apps that Apple has given design awards: the kind that hold strongly-typed information tend to get the UI out of the user's way, and let the information stand paramount; while the kind that hold raw data retain a strong skeuomorphic metaphor to suggest use over-and-above "put text here."

(Right, I didn't mean to suggest it added a newline; just that adding a newline flushes the buffer, which was one half of the problem with missing a newline—but that if this is the only line of the program, this half of the problem is obviated.)
Marketing mishap I'd guess. The tag line threw me off as well, "create NodeJS web apps faster with more energy, using RailwayJS". I don't like the idea of having to exert more energy. Or maybe they mean my app will have more energy.
