Yes, though never enable strict mode (in JS) unless you know exactly what it does. `use strict` causes some subtle semantic shifts that can be easily overlooked. For example, there's no dynamic binding between the `arguments` object and a function's arguments:

((x)-> x = 2; arguments[0] is 1)(1) # true

((x)-> arguments[0] = 2; x is 1)(1) # true

Any developer enabling strict mode should be testing heavily in browsers that actually support the feature. There have been a few high-profile meltdowns already (on BoA, Intel, eBay, etc.) due to devs not understanding the feature, or concatenating a `"use strict"` script (not wrapped in an IIFE) with non-strict code.

JSLint doesn't help matters, as it errors unless `"use strict"` is declared (unless run with the "sloppy" option -- something I'm sure devs love). The absolute worst scenario is for a browser to implement some kind of heuristics-based approach to respect the `"use strict"` prologue; what Brendan Eich calls a "strict quirks mode".

All that said, I'm a big fan of `strict`. It might be a good idea to use it in production, and strip the directives out when deploying.
Heh, yeah I have no doubt this is a response to that.

While certainly not free, SQL Server 2008 introduced some pretty nice spacial data tools. It can find points within a radius, capture points within a polygon, intersections/unions, and quite a bit more. It also has full support for true spacial indexes which makes dealing with large amounts of data very fast.

I've just completed a project using these tools quite extensively, and found them a really nice way of handling all my geo data. Being T-SQL, there's not much to learn to make use of it either.
Ask HN: Could I have your thoughts on my Cheat Sheet Generator and Resource?
One of my side projects has actually made it to the internet. Woohoo! My ability to scupper my own projects by overthinking them apparently does know some bounds. Anyway, I'd love to hear what HN thinks of the idea, execution, etc.

http://www.cheatography.com/

It's a simple cheat sheet builder and resource - you assemble a cheat sheet with lots of useful info, and the site generates a PDF and shares it with everyone.

At the moment it's all ad-supported, and I'm considering adding adverts to the PDFs as well. I'm trying to come up with better revenue ideas than the current (AdSense) advertising.

Things I'm already working on ... I'm not particularly happy with how the cheat sheets are exposed - if you visit a cheat sheet page, there's no above-the-fold route to other cheat sheets. The homepage links to new cheat sheets but not in a particularly enticing way. And I'm going to add a "cheat screen" - a live, full-page, JS-controlled cheat sheet you can bookmark.
While I understand where you're coming from, Max, this is really dangerous delusion. Couch just lost the drive it had in the beginning, for whatever reasons, crazy focus on "data liberation" and cell phones included.

That said, I agree with @dasil003 above that Couch played a irreplaceable role in getting people on the NoSQL track. I speak from my own experience. Compared to Mongo, Couch allowed me to wrap my head about design differences in the NoSQL world.

It's sad to see Couch fade into obscurity, but hey!, it's initial drive, it's original story (cf. the Rubyfringe video of Damien's talk), is an important part of "NoSQL archeology" for me.

This is true for the most part, but there's a subtle edge case. Within a nested function, variables used in loops will redeclare within the inner function:

->
outerVar = "outer"
->
# this will output "undefined"
# as CoffeeScript has redeclared it for the loop:
console.log outerVar
0 for outerVar in [0]

yeah I really want Lokenote to be realtime, but hit the practicality of shipping.. so its 'hit refresh' initially :[

My intuition is that 'Layers/Layars' are a good abstraction for developers.. but I think maybe simple tag / search might be a better way to filter those things I want to be notified about as I walk around?

AR is cool, but I wonder if this coolness actually gets in the way.

Id like to set some interest filters and then walk around and get push notifications on my mobile home screen.
Eg: set 'tell me about' = 'clothing discounts', 'art deco buildings', '2nd hand record shops' and 'friends with status Im-up-for-a-coffee'.

I think we need to take that step so that the technology kind of disappears into the background - location isn't there yet.

I dont think it needs a HUD VR helmet to work - just look at how crappy and successful the keyboard is.. so, yeah, simple short text notifications as you walk around would really make this meld into the daily routine.

great idea, thanks. its a bit of work, but doable.

Be an engineer: Re: Infosys, TCS, or Wipro?
The solution is not to get ditch diggers to go to college, but to respect ditch diggers. Our society, and Brooks, has respect for a person that increases exponentially with the distance between that person and productive physical work.

The world cannot function solely on the fruits of debates and negotiations between middlemen. Ditch diggers have to exist. What we have to determine is if we will continually have the debate between whether they will be guaranteed to be paid enough to live, or whether the market determines that we should reduce their living conditions and liberties in order to bring their cost to a rate that keeps certain products and businesses viable.
You seem to assume that one can't make the separation between the deeds and the man. I know of the halo effect[1], but we can break free of it to some extent. I suppose you have read Stallman's followup[2], where he addresses this point, and the timing as well.

Also, it is quite obvious for everyone that Jobs' work is overall quite against Free Software (though it doesn't hesitate to use Open Source). That is something worth reminding, especially while everyone else is praising that very work. But how can you possibly criticise a man's life work without making it look like you want to soil the man himself? My guess is, you can't.

Ask HN: Why did Google make Reader ugly?
I'm a frequent Google Reader user (one of very few apps that get an app tab in Firefox)...

But what happened? I'd ask Google, but they don't particularly want user feed back.

Uncomfortablely large amounts of white space, nothing is balanced anymore, and all the color is gone. I know Gmail can change themes, but I don't think Reader can.

I hope someone at Google reads HN.
Narcolepsy Symptoms
I wonder what those specs written by engineers look like. How much details do they provide? Is the architecture of the project already specified? Algorithms and data structures already provided? If that's the case then wouldn't it be quicker for those engineers to directly type their specs in a high-level language? If that's not the case I think there are still a lot of problems for the programmer to solve.

> Ruby's metaprogramming facilities are dead simple compared to Python's

I actually have the opposite experience, Ruby's eigenclasses and the self way to handle them to create class methods feels convoluted and shoehorning whereas __metaclass__ and the way you inherit of Class feels straightforward to me. The same goes for modules extending/including behaviors versus sane multiple inheritance combined with metaclasses and the way you manipulate methods and functions just assigning them as attributes, without any need for three handfuls of helper methods. Ruby's approach of development is so pervasive that I (and not only me) always have to check if I won't be tripping on someone else's wires. When I tell that, the Ruby crowd shouts at me that Ruby monkey-patching is safe! So let's make it safer[1]! It honestly feels like needless complexity, over-engineering, or jumping through more hoops.

I know both approaches quite well but I can't help but think that the Python approach just fits in, like a self-solving Tetris, whereas Ruby feels like I constantly need to solve puzzles. Granted it's fun when you learn the language, drawing a picture of where classes, instances and eigenclasses of each fit, but when you want to be productive you just want it to flow, not solve another damn puzzle of how I can do this smartly so that things don't end up making galaxies collide.

PS: don't get me wrong, I actually love both languages, but while it's love-love with Python, it's actually love-hate with Ruby.

> This is a(and I really hate this term) first world problem of the greatest order. "I can't use Facebook because it's proprietary and they're evil." So what? Just don't use Facebook.

You're forgetting another first world problem that many people have: peer pressure. "What, you're not on Facebook? Lol, looser." Besides, with bullshit like the Facebook Login coming up, it's not unreasonable to assume that you WILL be forced to use Facebook for many things on the web. While I personally don't care and can put up with the peer pressure, other people can't.

And people ARE being forced to use proprietary software. At home, at work, everywhere, and if it's only because they don't know any better, or have been locked in by proprietary formats. You don't always have a choice.

Furthermore, it's not just about having a choice. It's about breaking the dominance, and eventually getting rid of proprietary software altogether. The only rational choice for any human being who's interested in progress and long-term sustainability is Free Software. Proprietary software is opposed to both of these concepts.

In a lot of cases it's probably more accurate to say it's one part of the cycle. If programming really ends up being the end of the process, something might have gone wrong with the project.
Ask HN: I cannot afford to scale…
… but I cannot afford not to.

Almost a year ago I decided to quit my job and start 2011 doing something I've always wanted to do: start my own company. I started with two primary aims: 1) to provide the best, most accessible app translation service and 2) learn as much as I can about running a business as possible. I decided from the very start it was ok if there were a few mistakes along the way, just learn from them for the future.

Now I'm at a point where my knowledge escapes me and I'm looking for some advice as I'm beginning to turn away customers.

My revenue is client based. A small iOS or Mac OS app can take me around 4-5 hours of my time in a week. A medium sized app 8-10 hours. A big app or a technical app takes me much much longer. And that's only if things go well. You all know client work involves last minute changes and lengthy email discussions.

As you can see with those times, there's only so much I can do.

I don't charge enough. Revenue minus costs is healthy, until you factor in my own time. When we're talking pennies per word ($0.14 USD per word) you can see how a small project (250 words) costs me money and a big project (4000 words) costs me a lot of time (which means I have to refuse other projects). I can't increase costs because of competition, even though I am sure my service provides a much higher quality translation.

I can't afford to take a second person on. We will be able to take on more work, sure, but I can't guarantee someone a full-time position. Maybe I could use a vWorker, but I want a relationship with my colleagues. I need to know we're on the same page.

So as you can see, I need a bit of advice. I love my clients and the rapport I have with them. But I need to expand and move this away from a life-style business into something a bit more automated (while maintaining quality).

^W^W^W^W Now I think about what you said, the take away I get is this: Some companies in SV need to go bust because the use they make of their engineers (i.e. the value the engineers deliver) is less than the going rate for engineers.

Once they go, this will reduce demand for engineers, bringing equilibrium to wages at current or depressed levels.

There have been regressions over the years. Just because it is intended to be backward compatible doesn't mean there aren't occasional bugs that can break an application running on top of the JVM.
I agree with lukifer (assuming his first paragraph was ironic), but not with many of your points.

Why do you think the majority of people don't care how a computer works? Simply because they don't want to learn, and they think mostly in the short term. (Not that I'd blame them. Short term thinking tends to be emphasised by our current western society.)

Of course you can't apply FOSS principle everywhere. Buildings and cars are scarce. You can't copy them the way you copy software.

You also assume that the market is efficient. It isn't. Even when doing the most ridiculous assumptions about human nature (homo economicus), the market simply isn't efficient. Therefore, the most popular product cannot be assumed to be the best, or even have the best cost/benefit ratio. And you know about Microsoft's OEM scheme. That gives them an advantage that has nothing to do with the quality of their software.

You also seem to assume FOSS doesn't have such a great market share. On the desktop, sure. But on the server, it won.

Want to filter list with an "ad-hoc" function in Java? Use

Collections2.filter(list,
new Predicate<Integer>() {

Utils.getFileContent("filename")

from my library.

You would say, that the Java verbosity is outsourced to external libraries — but so it is in Ruby as well. The only difference is that Ruby contains more libraries than Java. But does it count in a development of a huge professional project? NO. (You write the libraries once and use the package everywhere.) Does it count in script writing? Yes. But Java wasn't designed for script writing, so please please don't compare a fork and a spoon.

Seems to me what we are seeing is a glitch. Can't confirm but the lack of titles in important categories points clearly in that direction.
the java bytecodes remain unchanged from jvm 5 to 6. The bytecode is all the jvm sees. Thus the backward compatibility does work almost perfectly. Also jvm 6 has been out for long enough now to have ironed out any potential issues if there existed any in the first place.
