It's written in pg's arc lisp, which you can find at arclanguage.org. The install instructions there are a bit dated, however, as you can now download arc3.1 instead of 3.0 as they say to do.

Once you have that installed, running news.arc is detailed in a rather simple text file labeled how-to-run-news. Edit: Note that it's not quite the same version that is running here at HN; pg has modified this version slowly over time.
Finally, finally -- someone did it right. Well done.
It's wrong because average people are more likely to do average things in their life, like pursuing a college degree because that's the common thing to do.

Outliers on the other hand sometimes choose their own path. Sometimes they drop out of college because of financial problems, but still attend courses that interest them. Sometimes they choose to learn on the job, by making mistakes and fixing them, by screwing around disassembling stuff, by learning from mentors they admire, by trying out new things and so on and so forth.

Saying that Gates, Jobs, Zuckerberg are college dropouts really ignores that these people are/were more educated than the hordes of people coming out with master degrees. And this I think is the biggest problem with our educational system, the fact that these alternate paths aren't properly recognized.

Disclaimer: I'm also a college dropout, I regret it and intend to finish college, on the other hand I have a monthly revenue at least 3 times bigger than the software industry's medium salary in my city for senior developers.

As soon as I see animated objects moving about in a dynamically lit world, I will start to believe that Euclideon is on to something.

Maybe there could be some middle ground like in the old voxel days, where you would have a static (unlimited detail) background world and some traditional, polygon-based actors in the foreground. Looking at any modern game, just about everything on the screen is constantly moving, so color me sceptical even on that idea.

Also, I would like to know how they do lighting. It looks like they might use precomputed highlights and shadows. Needless to say that this would not be of much use for dynamic lighting.
this formal methods shit has been going for decades and will do so for decades more being hardly used by anyone, by which time the singularity will arrive and nobody will need to program
Ask HN: Where are the biopunks in Berlin?
Hey there,

I recently moved to Berlin to work as a scientist in cancer research and I´m wondering if we got any fellow scientists, biopunks or whatsoever around here to maybe get together to exchange ideas and create something new...well, stuff like that ^^

so, where are you?

Can't you still have a normal octree or something with segments of the voxels split by their spatial location with voxel subtrees inside of that? I don't understand why you can't apply spatial division techniques to voxels.
Ask HN: Help me build a better bookmarking Mac app
My question is built on this screenshot: http://www.gnzlz.com/files/very_alpha.jpg

I am building a MacRuby app which will make navigating to your most common places on the web easier. What I don't like about the current "bookmarking" methods is that in order to get to, for instance, "http://stackoverflow.com", I have to first switch to my browser then click on the bookmark or type it in manually.

Also, your bookmarks aren't synced unless you're using something like Instapaper/Readability/Read It Later. In order to get to these bookmarks, you have to visit their site, login, and click on the link. Or, there's the Safari synced to iCloud method. But then you're tied to a certain browser

Furthermore, there's a fine line between an actual everyday bookmark and something I will "read later".

My app is a background app activated via some shortcut (e.g. Ctrl+Space), which allows users to see their bookmarks in a simple ui, then navigate to them via a number key. Up & Down switch contexts (school, work). Right & Left switch between bookmarks within a context (paginated)

I want this app to sync with some data source. My question is sort of architectural.

==MY QUESTION IS THIS==

Which service would you recommend to sync these bookmarks with? Dropbox synced to flat files in your "App" folder? Read It Later (but then your regular bookmarks get syncs with "read in the future" bookmarks)? Custom/proprietary database?

DISCLAIMER: I don't necessarily want advice on the UI (it's very alpha). I don't want to know about a better solution that already exists. I want your help building this, and I'd love to give some free copies away when I'm finished.

Ubuntu's Python plans
I agree.
Though a more useful constructor would be nice for naked dicts. I've created a helper function that allows for nicer construction of dicts based on other dicts and potential new fields:

https://gist.github.com/24651d78d3f1e3dec6f4 :

def new_dict(args, *kwargs):

"""
Create new dicts

>>> new_dict({1:2}, {2:5}, foo=5)
{1: 2, 2: 5, 'foo': 5}

"""
d = {}
for arg in args:
d.update(arg)
d.update(kwargs)
return d

d = new_dict(old_dict1, old_dict2, old_dictN, foo='bar')

Sales forces are very expensive. Case in point: Groupon has a lot of revenue, but still does not turn a profit. That's because Groupon needs a giant sales force to hunt down the deals.

Although expected, I think his experience is a good example of the short comings of the app store. (Whereby many useful apps require root/admin access, something which is not allowable on the app store, e.g. imagine apps surreptitiously adding extra entries to the hosts file along side your legitimate entries.)

It can also be argued here that an app should never have access to your hosts file, as this trivialises man in the middle attacks.

With the scare mongering aside, overall the prefpane is really useful and well written and I recommend it for anyone who does frequent changes/additions to the hosts file. (It lets you just click on/off hosts and is updated automatically, apple really need something like this in their own system tools.)

> I'm more concerned that it seems totally stagnant.

I don't think it's stagnant. I kind of like Unity - it's unobtrusive and direct. I like it a little better than Gnome 3 (mostly because I use the multiple-monitor multiple-desktop thing as a space extender and 3's separate monitor switching breaks that). On a more basic level of functionality, most of my data live on BtrFS filesystems (which is the next-best-thing after ZFS) and comparing if with either NTFS or HFS+ is just cruel. Package management on Ubuntu has been, as in Debian, perfect for most of a decade. Yum is quickly catching up. Programming language support is still excellent and most anything runs, or can be compiled, out of the box. It's been a very long time since I had a major device support hassle either with notebooks or with desktops (the removal of support to buggy-but-Windows-compliant ACPI caused major breakage, but it seems to be stable now).
That's what it'll be used for, and what it's advertised for, though ("SJCL is cross-browser!", "SJCL is a project to create a secure [...] cross-browser library for cryptography in Javascript") By your own argument such libraries are inherently insecure regardless of the niceness of their implementation.

To be fair, the authors do state that they believe it provides the best level of security attainable via Javascript/in the browser, and that it's not on par with desktop applications--but that's just it. It shouldn't be done in the browser in the first place. The fact that it's written by Stanford students makes it even worse: It'll make people more inclined to do the wrong thing.

At least here in South America, yes they are (and I've used it, and it works).

To offer a counter-point, I was running a consulting business at 17 (OK, a little later) went from hack to hack and didn't even know I was failing to learn and improve myself. Ran up debt, and went through what in retrospect looks a lot like bouts of depression. Now, I'm going on 30 in my first "real" job and I feel like I'm making up for lost time.

New Video: Rebecca Ferguson - Nothing's Real But Love - MTV Fresh
Your posts on the subject seem far and away too utopian when we're talking about wikipedia. They've already had a lot of scandals about censorship/bias/etc. now. That would only get worse when money was on the line.
This is, for once, an amazingly common sense decision, striking a good balance between IP protection, sensible business environment for the ISP, and personal freedom.

From the official press release[1]:

"The Court finds that, in adopting the injunction requiring Scarlet to install such a filtering system, the national court would not be respecting the requirement that a fair balance be struck between the right to intellectual property, on the one hand, and the freedom to conduct business, the right to protection of personal data and the right to receive or impart information, on the other."

I understand this isn't exactly revolutionary but amidst ACTA, SOPA, bailouts, and similar lunacy, this is a breath of fresh air and a glimmer of hope.

Apple Removed Subscription-Based Game App From App Store
Countries within the EU have all sorts of nasty laws that favour business over their populations, and have a habit of pushing through populist laws without thinking about the repercussions. The European courts are one of those aspects of Europe that is actually a good thing; they tend to protect people from the more cut-throat decisions. So, although the EU can be a dodgy entity at times, I don't think this is one of those conspiracy issues.
Domain specific API construction - Practicing Ruby
I've been on this network for about 4 years now (maybe less, can't remember), and it really worked for me, I've met several people there and had a really good time doing so.

What I think provides the most value for the user is location, as the article says. I can filter users by my location, and just interact with them. Since this is a dating site, it's ok to just say hi to someone without a formal introduction by someone else, and everyone acts accordingly.

What I really dislike about the site, is how invasive the business model has become. They try to get viral with facebook apps, desktop apps, iphone apps, but those apps tend not to respect a user's privacy. A while ago they tried to charge users to filter by online users. If you didn't pay, you could filter by location, but you'd have to go through all offline users to find those that are online at the time. It rendered the basic, unpaid product, useless. Fortunately, they rolled back that "feature".
I think that legally there is a large difference between them a) blocking one site for all users, and b) monitoring a users actions.

In theory you could do the former without ever recording which users attempted to reach the site in question.
A particular type of question is asked time after time in C programming forums.

Judging by the Court press release[1], it would seem that the unreasonable cost of filtering all P2P traffic for copyrighted material (yes, they actually asked for that) weighed heavily in the Belgian case. This would likely not be much of a factor when it comes to filtering a single domain, as mentioned in the UK case you linked to.

Still, the injunction by the EU court could well shift the balance even in cases where blocking is more technically feasible. Fingers crossed.

Not sure if you want to SEE it. But in the article it says they are doing just that.

.

"Dell shows me an as yet unreleased demo – not real-time in this case – that suggests Euclideon has already made some positive inroads in ensuring Unlimited Detail is compatible with existing middleware. The short video shows traditional polygon objects happily coexisting and interacting in the same space as a small Unlimited Detail environment"
How does this author things that anyone should take him seriously with a blog named like that? Horrible.
Collision detection is the big thing for me, sure you can fake it with invisible polygons but that usually leads to weirdness in the player experience.

Actually, before the Mac there was the Lisa. Before the Lisa, there was the Star. I’d mention the Alto, but the idea of a desktop with icons wasn’t there. The Star had them, but was even more expensive than the Lisa (and had a very clunky mouse/keyboard manipulation flow).

It’s also not a steady progression from the command-line to the GUI – command-lines have been present throughout computing history and even made a comeback to Apple when NeXT’s OS became the base of OSX. Command lines, as cryptic as they may appear to the uninitiated (and, quite frankly, MS-DOS didn’t make them look good – or expressive, only cryptic), are immensely powerful. They have been since the 70′s and continue progressing to this day (albeit, far from the eyes of the more casual computer users).

Also, the original Mac was largely a market failure – and had little impact on user interactions for a long time. It took years for it to dethrone Apple’s original hit, the Apple II line, as Apple’s cash-cow.
If you've never used Badoo, I would encourage you to sign up just to see what tactics they use to encourage users to pay, how they do account retention and also how they encourage you to add profile information and photos. Interesting stuff.

sourcetree has line committing, when in commit/diff view drag on the lines you want and right click, you can commit only a few lines, even if they are only part of a hunk.
I don't think it would accomplish much. But sure, you can precompute which objects are visible in which circumstances and do some culling based on that data.

My understanding is that the problem is that there's just too much stuff that you have to keep in memory if you don't use LoD to distinguish between nearby and far away objects.

Consider this screenshot from rage: http://pcmedia.ign.com/pc/image/article/116/1162072/rage-201...

What are you going to cull? There's just too much stuff to load in memory. Too much stuff that actually ends up on your screen. Too much point cloud data. Now games use low resolution models and prerendered billboards for far away objects. With a voxel octree you're just SOL, no matter how clever your spatial optimizations.

Unless hard drives (or SSDs) become a few orders of magnitude faster I don't see how the data can be fetched from disk quickly enough.
Who are these "we" who has such well defined expectations of what kinds of programmers are allowed to participate here?

He's not even approaching a claim to understanding all the practical aspects of the industry or programming. He is humble and thirsty for more knowledge. He is a beginner, and if you look closely, I think you'll find that we've all been beginners.

I'm begging you not to. Reality TV killed music, please don't let it do the same for start-ups. Give it 15 years at least....

On that note too, I don't think I would want my start-up featured, I think it would lose all credibility. The purpose of reality TV is to contrive conflict for the sake of an audience. I can't imagine the damage that might do to even the most mature founders' reputations.

So please don't try and turn our industry into a Simon Cowell merry-go-round for the sake of a buck.
The parent comment doesn't directly mention a directive, but the press release makes a reference to a directive according to which:

Some of us are working full-time on renewable energy projects - my company is one of them. The US may not have a policy in place, but the Senators we have met with are supportive of our efforts, showing us where more general business policies can be helpful to our business.

FYI, the problem with developing renewable energy is not the actual energy production itself. Every inventor out there has a "better" turbine to try, The barriers lie in regulatory limitations and the massive amount of capital needed to build out projects.

If one were in the perpetual-motion machine business, taking a calm attitude towards haters would be pretty much the only option, since there would be no way to argue with them.
Not to mention how overly aggressive they are in their tactics to bring in new members.

'There's one message waiting for you!'
I'm still not convinced by these arguments ;)

The displacement of the voxels can also be done with a simple matrix transformation, as far as I see it; same like you'd do for the nodes in a 3d model, same as you'd do it with a 'traditional' 3d pipeline (OpenGL/DirectX) - unless I'm behind the curve and animation itself is done on the GPU nowadays, but I don't think it is.

Ragged boundaries wouldn't be an issue as long as there are enough voxels. What I understand, that's the whole point - you just have lots and lots of voxels, at a much finer resolution than you'd ever want to render at, so that you just (by brute force) render once without having to worry about anti-aliasing, gaps between planes etc.
One thing you can do is run an aggregator, since they benefit quite a bit by commoditizing content. Another thing you could do is program for an audience which is not crushingly oversupplied by geeks willing to work for nothing. If you enjoy hobby game programming, you can subsidize it by making something people want... to pay for.

In the article he says he learned programming from 2/11 to 5/11. I am glad he is successful but clearly his experience is far more than twelve weeks, so it is a bit disingenuous. That is too bad because it is a great story and needed no exaggeration.

Yeah... that's why people are clicking through, and converting to sales :/

Are you saying they click through, and sign up to buy product, and then suddenly feel duped because they didn't know it was an advert they clicked on, and demand a refund???? Are you crazy?

I'd say about a third of the time it IS an ad - a YC backed startup with no merit etc.
Eyebombing. Humanizing the world, one googly eye at a time.
Really? What is ridiculous about it? In the face of potential laws like SOPA which requires restrictions on routing traffic to certain destinations, it would seem that worrying about the potential liability of a network with exit nodes allowing traffic to the "regular" internet is exactly something one should worry about.
