I can certainly agree with many of the
criticisms. However, in my experience, Scala
is still worth it

Considering the alternatives, C++ was and is still worth it. However because of its popularity, it prevented and still prevents other languages from gaining critical mass, making it the only game in town, with the sole exception being Obj-C, but that's only because Cocoa was designed for it and Apple doesn't mind a little technology lockin either.

Wow. If this is Charles Nutter I'm surprised no one has commented on this. I'm sure someone could make the argument that as there is ample evidence that humans are much less rational than we typically care to admit, that we are feeling animals who also happen to think rather than thinking animals who also happen to feel, so it is that the creator of what it is today easily the most popular non-Java JVM language could conceivably be "blinded" by their own personal investment in a "competing" language. But I think the much more interesting fact about this comment is that the commenter is basically a fucking programming god. And he thinks Scala is too complex. If I was Colebourne I would be posting on my blog, a very short post, basically just saying "Hey, all you bitches telling me 'Yeah, yeah, yeah, you wrote a little date library, WTF are you again?' Does Charles Nutter carry enough weight for you?"

My own personal viewpoint is that the Nutters and Colebournes are totally on the money. I remember reading a quote from Miguel DeAcaza talking about thread based concurrency programming models in the new N-core paradigm, he said it didn't scale, because "there are not enough PhDs in the world." Despite it's name, I don't think Martin's baby will in the end have lived up to it. Didn't scale, not enough PhDs in the world.

> And where are you getting this 1% number from?

I would assume it's from this part of the article:

"How were the sites investigated? For the most recent batch of names, Chanel hired a Nevada investigator to order from three of the 228 sites in question. When the orders arrived, they were reviewed by a Chanel official and declared counterfeit."

It was closer to 1.3% if that makes you feel any better.

Derek Webb (article author) has been pushing alternative distribution for music for a long time... well before it was popular.

Does anyone remember publishing HyperCard stacks on the web with the WebStar mac web server? That was pretty cool! It even translated the controls and fields on the stack to html forms that worked in the web browser. http://143.50.28.215/HyperCGI.html
Now, sadly, I must ask, is someone going to try to
make this proprietary and embedded, contained within
hermetically sealed hardware enclosures, complete with
convoluted bootloader and behavioural studies rootkit,
to try to make billions from it?

If the problem is submitted to the market, then yes. That's what the market and capital does. So sad.

It'd be great if the world's geeks would stop laboring for the fucking market, increasing the surplus value exacted from their labor, and winding up fucked by their own creations.

EDIT: formatting
> But the third paragraph clearly states that Chanel checked that the sites were actually selling counterfeit goods.

For 3 of the 228 sites, yes. That's about 1.3% of them.

They're probably right about them selling knock-offs, but they didn't check most of them. They're also bending the joinder rules in a way similar to certain copyright plaintiffs who had their cases severed for misjoinder. That said, there seem to be quite a few judges willing to bend those rules, too.

I quit my job to pursue a startup idea and I ended up regretting it. Getting a regular paycheck every two weeks is something I have learned to appreciate after having to go 8 months without having any form of income. As you probably know, most startup ideas fail and for every Dropbox or AirBnB there are thousands of failed startups that were started by people who were just as smart and just as driven as those individuals were. The fact that you have a 100k in the bank should make things a little easier for you, if you do decide to pursue the startup route I would suggest you put a hard time limit on when you're going to cut your losses and return back to the regular job market something like 8-12 months, whatever you do keep your options open.

The bar are the time spent in CPU for 1000 handshakes. This means that it takes 3.81 s to do 1000 handshakes. CPU was a Q9400 @ 2.66GHz. However, this should not be taken as a general purpose benchmark since only one handshake is running at any moment. The benchmark is only here to compare with other conditions.

Hypercard was a wonder. I used to teach street people how to make simple, useful applications that they thought of themselves.

Sure it was limited in what it did, and that was part of its beauty. It was a tool for quickly hacking together a simple application. A tool that nearly anyone could learn to use quickly. And it was fun and spontaneous.

And the Hypertalk language was very interesting to work in. It was like a limited dialect of a spoken language; a pidgin for computers.

I think much more likely explanations than the nefarious anti-creative one given for HyperCard's death are that, to varying degrees: Steve found all HyperCard stacks he saw to be messy and confusing, not at all the functional simplicity he was looking for; HyperCard was taking engineering resources and/or money that could be better spent saving the Mac, and therefore Apple.

Apple has not, in recent years, on the Mac, been against trying to provide simpler programming environments - look at Automator, (the now also defunct?) AppleScript Studio, or Dashcode.

TBH I think it's more like free as in beer. Torrent hasn't become popular by passing censored information, it became popular by passing pirated entertainment. Movies, music and software, especially games. And pr0n, of course -- the best way for a service to become popular is to provide free and easy access to it.
Which (sort of) supports GP's argument. We have programming environments on one end, full products on another and spreadsheets (maybe also MS Access) in the middle. The environment looks crowded.

Btw, I'd love spreadsheets-as-apps replaced with something more maintainable but they also have a huge advantage: you can start using a spreadsheet with zero programming. Unless you copy that, you can't compete for that niche.
Uh, what's the relationship to Twitter Bootstrap? That's a library for GUI widgets and styling.
"I was coming from PHP. PHP was shit then and is still shit now."

I find it embarrassing that the community would vote up a story with comments like this. There is simply no need for it, and it shows nothing but a lack of articulation and outright immaturity.

If you don't like PHP, fine, but slamming it with one word insults does nothing but insult the tens of thousands of developers out there that use PHP to solve real world problems for a living.
If you haven't captured any frequencies above 15kHz (which an average cell phone mic is unlikely to do), no amount of averaging, filtering, or combining will get them back.

I think this is technically not quite true. If two cell phones right next to each other are both sampling at 15kHz, in the best case you could combine their samples to get an equivalent sampling of 30 kHz. (Best case meaning phone 1 samples exactly half way between phone 2's samples.)

In practice, however, you would have to account for positioning and the fact that the phones' samples aren't perfectly offset from one another. It would require an amazing engineering feat to overcome this challenge, but I think it's within the realm of physically possible.

A GC grants economic freedom to indentured servants (H1B visa holders is the politically correct term). The longer freedom is denied the more profitable it is for the corporate masters. One of the tricks of this modern day slave trade is to lobby Congress to set a quota (about 30% of the demand) on the number of people who are set free each year. For the groups with the largest numbers of indentured servants, additional quotas are lobbied for. As long as the dollar was strong and life was shit in the third world hells these people came from, this system worked. The corporate masters recognize that the game is now up.

The usual argument given for the lack of freedom for H1B visa holders is that the bureaucrats need to ensure that a H1B doesn't cause a job loss for a citizen. A pencil pusher doesn't even know what it takes to make the pencil [1] he is pushing, and yet somehow he can ensure that a citizen doesn't lose a job! The H1B visa is indentured servitude by the back door, plain and simple.

Anyone who has given some thought to the idea of protecting jobs knows it is an exercise in futility (For a start, Congress must pass an Amish decree [2]: ban all technology invented since 1830, and declare Thomas Edison as the worst job destroyer [3] the world has ever seen. Also it will have to order the arrest and lock up of all entrepreneurs aka wannabe job killers, which is most HN readers). Therefore, I suggest to do away with all the current H1B bullshit, and adopt a point based immigration system where every qualified applicant is given full economic freedom from day one!

I used to program in Common Lisp. While it was great, I always had the feeling of being "somewhere else". All the cool things were happening elsewhere. I had to implement many things on my own instead of using other people's solutions, because they were solving their problems elsewhere.

I get the opposite feeling with Clojure. We used it to write a scalable distributed system. A number of ideas emerged. And then I see those ideas properly designed and implemented in systems like Storm, and now — Avout. It's a wonderful feeling when things just happen in front of you and you get great code that you can use, in your favorite language.

Best of all, there is real innovation. People don't just clone Ruby on Rails, many new designs are a large step up.
Wow, that brings back some happy memories. Writing Eliza style chat bots on my Mac SE in Hypercard was a lot of fun :)

Arrays are the most powerful data structure available. You can't express arrays using S-expressions, but you can express S-expressions using arrays.
You know what's actually the product I've met with the most similarity to HyperCard? Microsoft PowerPoint. You have cards, buttons that can navigate between them in arbitrary ways, effects that can trigger on loading or unloading a card, etc. And for everything else, you have VBA, which, like AppleScript, allows buttons and fields to do arbitrary things (with generic COM objects, even!) I once wrote a full-scale Dragon-Quest-style CRPG in PowerPoint, using the cards as a scene graph; it was actually quite friendly.

No, Spotify has enough money to pay all their artists.

They do not want to, the money you pay to spotify goes to the owners of spotify which are the recording labels and other stock holders. Spotify is not artist-owned, the money will always go to the stock holders and owners before they reach the artist.

We http://www.atomised.coop are a worker's co-operative too and a startup. There are ways to raise finance in the UK certainly because co-ops can have almost any legal structure. e.g we are a limited company with the ability to issue Class B shares (the class A ones are the worker/owner equity). You also get multi-stakeholder co-ops where equity can be divided between investors, workers, customers even. It's called the 'somerset rules' or more commonly multi-stakeholder co-operatives. See http://somerset.coop/somersetrules A firsthand example I know is a train company startup. They divided equity between investors 25%, workers 50% and consumers 25%. I've always thought co-ops could really marry well with open-source & startups but startups know nothing about coops and coops know little about startups.
Can you explain to me how a long rambling story on reddit counts as "thoroughly refuted"? Perhaps you could link to the salient points because I missed them.

What is "liquidity" any more than "reputation"? Why do banks get loaned short term paper when nobody trusts them? Does the Serious Sam Android App get a bailout while they shore up their credibility? Nobody is buying their product because of a "reputation" problem. Where is their $400bn in short term paper? I'm sure they can get buy on the interest from that while they recover.

Apparently only banks are allowed to loan money that they don't have, and when they lose their reputation, we just loan them short term money until either a) everybody forgets or b) its clear that no banks will be allowed to fail.

I'm not objecting to fractional reserve lending provided we have one simple rule: when the rich people in charge fuck it up so badly then they get wiped out.

This is such nonsense.

This is what you get when you support markets and capital over people.

You NEED a government to regulate for the common good, or else your individual freedoms will be happily dispensed with by the market as it seeks to further extract additional surplus value from your labor and profit as much as it can from your existence. The market is a greedy bitch and does not care about your freedom. Limited powers of the state mean you will take on the market yourself. You will lose everything.

Overextend != over-regulate. The former is the action of the ruling class on behalf of the market to protect capital and increase its spheres of influence. The latter is the action of the ruling class attempting to placate the people, sanctioned for a time by the market so as to bide time until the people forget why the regulation was created in the first place (so a couple generatons later, the capitalists can spin a yarn that the regulation should go and nobody knows any longer how royally they fucked things up to necessitate the regulation in the first place).
Facebook Newsfeed changes to Fanpages – but all is not lost…
Very well said. I wanted to comment along those lines but couldn't quite put it into words. As much as I dislike Arrington for being the dick that he is, I don't thing he's trying to "sell a con" or even to tell people to work hard. If anything, he's asking the whiners -- who's sole motivation is (supposedly) money -- to either stop whining or get out of the valley. His point is this: doing a startup is brutal; to survive you have to want building something more than anything, or you will not be able to stand the pain. It's a fair point.

I started competitive play at 15, eventually peaking at 18 with 2 CPL showings. I probably played vs. juan at a couple LANs.

The amount of focus, time, and sheer mental fortitude required showed me what it took to truly master something. When I could drop 35 kills in a half in a tournament, or kill 10 people in a round in a pub, I understood my level of commitment had led to that success.

I spent the past few years at a telecom/networking company doing sales as an engineer. Multi-million dollar deals, complex designs and high-stress situations. Learning to communicate only what was relevant and necessary, eliminating all extraneous information, was essential to success. My co-workers looked to me to quickly prioritize targets, shift strategy, and keep morale high as we focused on the end goal of closing.

Counter-strike taught me that. No other "group project" or random nonsense in college prepared me to work with the most highly regarded and ardent professionals in the world. My team would put egos aside, drop all sense of the individual, and focus on beating an enemy that was composed of the very same caliber.

It taught me the value of "ideal scenarios" or "how it's supposed to work". The immaculate plans leading up to a meeting, that required innumerable changes during practical execution. Without the ability to communicate as fluidly as possible between individuals any slight shift in the plan would create utter confusion and chaos, quickly exploited by a foe just begging for you to make a mistake.

I'd like to grab a beer with JonMumm. There's just something about the high-level Counter-Strike people that has reassured me that there are others out there can place so much of themselves into something that it doesn't become second nature, it becomes you.
