I'm not disappointed about anything.

You're on the front page of HN today, so whatever your regular audience, your audience today includes a number of tech bloggers.

For newspapers: you will not be catering to your audience, you will be catering to the people who clicked on those ads.

I was not suggesting you did not care about your topic.

I was not suggesting it was in any way improper for you to mention adcenter. But it's funny, you just parroted what was in the news and instead of useful trend data about the popularity of adcenter among bloggers we just have more noise.
Thanks Heelhook for the great feedback.
Well, notifications are on the lock screen now, so that's pretty good.

The BIOS vendors will surely support linux as a checklist item. But they don't sell to consumers. They sell to PC manufacturers. Sony and Dell and HP's laptop divisions don't give a hoot about linux. If they get a directive from MS to turn on UEFI secure boot with MS's key, that's exactly what they'll do. What they're not going to do is write a user-supplied key UI in the BIOS allowing the user to install their own keys. Even if the BIOS vendor provides one, they won't test it. Or might even disable it to "reduce support costs".

Even if electricity were free (and cold fusion wouldn't make it free, you need to build a factory, have people operate it, build power lines, convert the electricity...), how do you make synthetic oil? Which property would that synthetic oil have? Could it work to make gasoline? Could we build plastic with it?
"People who hate their jobs often work 40 hours weeks, why be one of them?"

Working 40 hours doesn't make you one of them. It's not even a symptom of the real problem.

I work 40 hours weeks, and love my job. And I loved my last job. And I liked all the jobs before that. That's because I have pride in doing my job well, I've worked for people who appreciate it (even if that sometimes means the customer, and not my boss), and general have a good disposition towards getting things done.

There are things I dislike, like red tape, but in general, I accept them as part of the process so that I can get to the good stuff, like coding the backend of a complicated system.

Sorry I might have been mistaken then. I've been both user and admin of the IT department and the amount of bullshit handwaving that comes from some of them is infuriating.

1. I share the same view. Once it leaves the network you're on your own. I encourage our users to backup to our servers because storage is cheap and if they are going to be using it for work might as well.

2. DMZ doesn't mean killing it just means your unknown device has a connection to the internet and that is all. Some users just want to bring in an iPad and aren't looking to get 802.11x certificates, 26-character WPA passswords, etc.

3. Unless someone is being a nuissance on the network I try not to get involved and even then I fire off an email directly to shut them up.

I work for a software company so most users are really computer competent so I haven't encountered the "problem" user that most IT workers love to make fun of.
Your original comment was to the effect of 'things are bad if they are illegal, but otherwise they're not.' He's calling you out on your sense of morality because whether a thing is right or wrong does not, to most people, derive from it's legal status.

> If I’m working on interesting things, 40 hours is not enough. If I’m working on boring things, 40 hours is far too many.

If you like you can always work more. You enjoy it after all. Hopefully you work in a place where that will be noticed and will be rewarded with promotions and bonuses.

If you _consistently_ work on boring things, then it might be a sign that something else is wrong and you need to find a new project, new company.

Some companies have 40 hours but they are flexible, can come in anytime, work from home if needed. It is good though to have core hours when most people are in (say 11 to 3 or something like that).
These landing page systems have a lot of room for improvement.

Upon getting a name and email address, it would be quite valuable to present the new subscriber with some form of survey. Be it short and multiple choice, but instead of JUST seeing if there is interest, you may be able to find out what aspects of your product bare the most importance.

ie If you create a landing page for a new shopping cart product, you may want to ask: Will you be selling digital goods? What country are you in? etc.

This seems a bit backwards. The price and hence profit that the guy can sell you his widgets for is set largely by how much you (on average) are willing to pay for the value his widget brings you.

Saying, hypothetically, "All other things being mostly equal" isn't really useful here I don't think. It's saying: 'assume the iPhone and SGSII generally represent the same value to people' clearly for a large portion of the people, they don't.

Given that you have to enumerate the topics ahead of time to create an A/B test, I'm not sure how this can help editors see outside their city center.

Personally, I don't read newspapers and greatly enjoy blogs with tiny ivory towers over which the author has a large amount of experience/insight. I can see that that may be a uniquely "internet kid" point of view.

Yep, all consumers have perfect knowledge, whenever they purchase something they know exactly what they are getting into. The nearly $500 billion dollars projected to be spent on advertisements by the end of this year has nothing to do with it, nor did any other forms of manipulation.
I'm pretty sure that when I defend the right of, say, OWS to protest, I'm not defending whatever it is they're protesting.

(Not a woman programmer here)

The sad thing is that despite the clear evidence ("real women programmers read it as a gendered term") we'll no doubt see a ton of posts on this thread arguing that it's clearly not a problem.

That said, I'm reasonably sure that it's not intentionally exclusionary. The poster had an image in their head of a work environment and came up with "brogrammer" as a catchy way to describe it. That this picture didn't include women is a huge problem, obviously, but I suspect it's probably not willful sexism.
Yes, it's true that cold fusion isn't, itself, perpetual motion. It does indeed meet that standard.

My invocation of perpetual motion is as a fencepost. If you can get people to believe in that, you can get them to believe in anything.

People like clean energy sources. They have good reasons – logical and factual reasons – to desire them. They also don't understand them very well. This has been true for centuries, as illustrated by the history of perpetual-motion scams, and thus it will likely remain true for the foreseeable future. People want to believe, and they will.

Yes, Bob has full access. Dropbox does not support read-only sharing.

The nightmare scenario is: (1) Alice re-shares my folder with Bob, and I don't know about it. (2) I don't have the "preserve modifications infinitely" option turned on in my Dropbox account. (3) Bob starts to make malicious changes to my files. (4) I discover this more than 30 days later, which means I can't recover the original files.

To say that males shouldn't call out things they see as sexism against women because they aren't women is dangerous thinking. We're all members of this community, and behavior that disrespects any of us is a problem for all of us.
Remember that (at least on existing Google TV boxen), games that use native code (most of them, including almost anything ported from iOS) will, at a minimum, have to be recompiled to run on Google TV as it's x86 based (unlike all the current ARM-based Android devices). In a small bit of luck, it happens that the particular chipset in Google TV (the CE4100) uses a PowerVR GPU (the SGX535 as seen in OMAP, and Apple's A4) so GPU compatibility won't be as much of an issue as the arch.
(though, curiously, x264 seems to get a pass)

If x264 does, so does VLC, mplayer, ffmpeg, gstreamer, and dozens of other applications that use video and audio decoders in Linux. Fortunately quite a lot of the world is not the United States, and today VLC is the world's second most popular media player and has never paid one cent in patent licensing fees.

But of course, yes, being open source does not magically exempt you from patent laws in countries with insane, broken patent laws. In practice, if you want to make a large-scale commercial application that will be distributed in the US that uses x264, you will probably need to pay for an MPEG-LA license. They're quite cheap, though: 0 cents per unit up to 100k units, 20 cents per unit after that until 5 million, and 10 cents per unit after that.

Largely, the question of whether a distro contains any particular piece of software is whether the people who run the repositories are willing to host it. This applies both to possibly-patented software, but also to libraries like DeCSS (necessary to play DVDs) that violate the laws in some countries, but not others.

The same attack is technically possible in OS X and Linux but not in iOS or WP7. Go figure.
Interestingly, as an old male programmer, I also assumed that "brogrammer" does not include me.

(Maybe it does, if I wear baggy pants or something.)
The point is not to avoid alienating a subset of the population. An ad can and should filter out candidates through its use of language and expression of culture. It cannot, however, filter people out on the basis of whether or not they have penises. That is the only question here: does this ad do that? Many think it does.

He didn't. He pointed out that people still invest in perpetual motion scams as reason to believe people will keep investing in cold fusion. The fact that cold fusion is less obviously a scam than perpetual motion actually strengthens his point.
Measuring work in terms of hours is fine for some jobs, but not others like programming. But the main problem is that most of them are using fear-based top-down command and control and treating people as dumb automata, which is basically suitable only for industrial manufacturing (the term "corporate drone" was created for a reason).
In the UK there's liftshare.com, although I think they do a lot of their business via companies wanting to reduce their carbon footprint by introducing car-sharing schemes for their employees.
After some research, I can't tell if brogramming is a parody or not. It could be that the startup figures it is, and wants people who can laugh at things like that.

If so, still poor communication.
It does? What is the "root cause" though? You seem to take it to mean the generation of references that must be traversed in gen2, but that sounds like just as much a hack to me: they modify the code in ways that don't represent the semantics of the problem to work around a limitation of the implementation.

Hell, you could argue the "root cause" is the use of a garbage-collected environment in the first place. All popular GC implementations have latency issues like this. All of them. If you can't deal with occasional high latencies, you should identify that requirement before choosing Java or C#.

All the solutions provided are just patching around that issue. I don't see anything in the post that looks like a root cause, and the GP's post has the advantage of being much simpler to implement.

To properly answer the question "is brogrammer a sexist term", I think it's important to distinguish -- for a moment -- what a sexist term might be.

1. Is a term sexist when the speaker intends to be sexist?

2. Or is the term sexist when others interpret to be?

3. Or is a term sexist in some other more subtle way?

Some answers:

1. No idea

2. This varies. I know people here are saying brogrammer is an internet meme, but I've met plenty of start-up people that seem to enjoy various components of the meme -- polo shirts, bad sunglasses, incoherent misogyny.

3. This one is hard, and there are several conflicting possibilities.

a) Usage of the word "brogrammer" (whether in jest, or not) could be good (for gender relations), if it is successfully used ironically, or if it somehow signifies the irrelevance of gender.

I don't think either of these are true. Popping your collar is not irony. It might be a good halloween gimmick, but it's not irony.

And as for brogramming signifying a post-gender binary world, uh, no, come on?

b) The alternative is what I believe to be true, posts like this, regardless of intent reveal a serious cultural insensitivity. Whoever wrote it doesn't care if they offend you. They don't care if it sounds sexist, and they probably don't care if they _are_ sexist.

This is very antisocial behavior, and it deserves disapprobation just for that.

This discriminates against users who cannot flag and users who do not flag. Since the only way to improve one's h-value is to flag more honeypots, it basically means that someone who can't/doesn't flag will have at best an h-value of -1. So would the h-value not be counted for people with few/no flags?

Good point, and I think Dropbox can remain simple by default. It could then support an additional "advanced sharing" feature. This would allow exactly two extra flags per shared folder, per user: (1) share read-only, and (2) share non-transitively. This should allow sufficient granularity for most access-control use cases out there.

Anyone who doesn't understand what this means wouldn't use the "advanced" sharing features, and many more small businesses would be able to start using the product.
My understanding is that it came from Facebook's core of post-collegiate boy programmers.
This commenter has the right answer. -> http://beust.com/weblog/2011/10/27/probability-quiz/comment-...

The question is phrased such that most people will immediately assume the distribution from which we choose an answer is uniform over {A, B, C, D}. If, indeed, we choose each answer with equal probability 1/4, then none of the answers can be correct. This is not a paradox! It's simply a proof by contradiction that the distribution from which we select our answer "at random" cannot be uniform over all the choices.

The problem is clearly with the phrase "at random," which is ambiguous in a mathematical context, but, in popular meaning is equivalent to "uniformly at random."
What I Learned At Dartmouth
I wish you had written this a bit earlier :)
I invented a playing card game and was really excited about it because I got good feedback during play testing. I tested it in few bars and they all liked the prototype. So after making some edits to the game rules from the play testing feedback, I went ahead and printed 2000 decks and I have a website where I'm selling the decks ( http://acardgamewithattitude.com )

I'm not seeing quite the success in selling online like the feedback I got offline.

No sure how I would have tested this concept before printing because its a niche market i'm targeting.

Now i'm confused what is wrong
- Is it the site design
- copy on the site
- Am I over explaining
- Is it not clear if its ia deck of physical cards

Can i take the site down and do a teaser like it is going to launch? and then sell it?

The interesting thing Disqus brings to the table IMO is a persistent identity across sites. And, broadly, I think this is good in that it fights the inherent hierarchical structure of any commenting system.

Ultimately, though, the concept of comments are hierarchical in a bad way. They encourage shallow responses over depth, and banter over meaningful conversation.

I think the best thing to encourage signal over noise is to encourage persistent identity and ownership of comments by the commenter. And I think the only real way to do this is a distributed reference system.

Imagine something like Tumblr (or now, in G+), in which users can re-share others'posts and add their own content. Imagine a distributed version of this, in which instead of comments, you have other people's responses hosted on their own sites, which your browser could aggregate into a comments-like "response" section, where you would have the option to view them in any way you'd like: newest/oldest-first, threaded/non-threaded, etc.
