When the author starts going on about IRC and email within emacs the first thing that came to mind was an old joke:

"Emacs has everything, email, chat, and even a web browser, hopefully next year they include a text editor"

or

"Emacs, for when you want to do anything but edit text"

Now I will readily admit that I use Vim for my day to day work and have not spend any significant time in emacs, but I do find the many control commands jarring and difficult to remember.

My boss is a big emacs guy, and whenever I help him with code or he helps me with code we make fun of each others editing environments :P

I hope to eventually have the time to learn emacs to its fullest and understand it. Being able to use a variety of different editors won't hurt.
Thanks for your ideas. In fact it's using the image search api and I think I would have implemented social voting to replace search before the limit runs out (if any).

With all the myriad of documented ways that rich people have worked with other rich people to fuck us all over, I'm amazed that anyone can write that there is no conspiracy. The revolving door between government and industry, between regulators and the regulated, the money channeled to the police. You need to do some more research.

I have the opposite opinion. I've never experienced the system first-hand myself, but I know of a few who have. To me, it seems that as long as you have a business idea and actually check if it's possible to maintain, there's a lot of governmental and non-governmental organizations who'll support you financially.

I think Silicon Valley would be harder to start in, if not only for the (seemingly) fierce competition for VCs' money and because you might have to pay for the health insurance of your employees.

Gary Vaynerchuk also calls this "relationship capital":

"In the future, companies with tremendous "relationship capital" will be the ones to succeed. Society is creating an ecosystem that rewards good manners, high touch, honesty, and integrity. Ten years from now, every company will have a Chief Culture Officer on staff, and if big enough, a team dedicated to scaling one-to-one relationships."[1]

I've been working on an Ebook for a while now, and it is quite hard. So I'm not surprised that many books have bad typography.

Our ebook is for the open source/FOSS project PyGame. http://www.pygamezine.com/

PyGameZine is in Beta, and we're launching today.

We made the book in html, and converted that into PDFs. The process was quite hard over all. Haven't started on the process of turning it into an EPUB yet.
I can recommend StaceyApp: http://staceyapp.com/

The filesystem is built of just folders and text files, and it creates a blog automatically. Very minimal and doesn't require any kind of admin backend.
Maybe google didn't have a choice. Since MS is talking about an app store, it just might be that the windows platform could become a closed platform(for the sake of security).

If google wants to do something about this , it basically have two options: the android option and the chromeOS option. They're trying them both(because of the risks involved). At some point if chromeOS fails , android will become a desktop OS. it's a natural step from using android on tablets, and google probably has people working on this too.
Some people take advantage of it. People who don't use it might feel like they're paying for lazy bums. Personally I like to think most people aren't on welfare voluntarily.

I recently read somewhere that Norwegians are some of the most gullible people in the world though. YMMV.

I don't think I ever used autocomplete with Python. And I don't know many who do, either. You really believe many Python users use something like the Eclipse python mode?

Except for the "tokens in the same file" autocomplete that Vim and such editors offer.
Norway, and Oslo in particular, is one of the most expensive places in the world, and prices are often discussed in the media. However, I read recently that although we like to complain about food prices, they are not very high when compared to our income.

Of course, the Big Mac index clearly shows that food can be very expensive. In general, all fast food is expensive. This is probably in part because there's no such thing as cheap labor here.
Congrats. Cool to read!

Use LabJS [1] or a similar library to load both CSS and JS in async, not blocking the loading of other assets.

Edit: Sorry, I misread that you're talking about parsing time. LabJS helps only with the loading time. Does it really take so long to parse? That's not negligible.

It is a great worry for me, that we have stopped looking out into the space with the kind of fascination that we used to.

Unfortunately, most of the world's wealth and technology is somehow taking (pushing) us to our own end. With Nuclear weapons seeing ever more proliferation and irreversible climate change knocking on our doors, I feel that we might just not end up with enough time to save ourselves from Mass extinction.

> but in reality "we the people" created "the State" to defend our property interests.

No, I did not. I didn't consent to any such agreement creating the State.

> We the people" through "the State" keep big strong men from taking what you conceive of as "your property" and that obligates you to us.

We the people? I did not consent to the constitution. Just like I can't bind you to contracts that you didn't consent to, I am not part of "we the people" because I never consented to be represented. Funny that it's called a "social contract" when it doesn't conform to contract law!

> You obligate yourself by participating in civilized society.

If that's the case, why can't I levy taxes and impose rules on people without their consent, simply because I sold something to them?
"I'd be surprised if 261 or 361b are put online, since they're not usually recorded and (at least when I took them) have between 10 and 20 students."

Isn't that the exact reason they should be put online though? If there are say 5,000 students worldwide (vs 150,000 for the AI course) that is still a massive multiple. I sincerely hope Stanford doesn't stop at the "Introduction to X" courses. The upcoming "Probablistic Graphics Models" class seems reasonably advanced, and is hopefully a harbinger of things to come.

> Why would I pay ~$13 for a brand-new, often terrible-quality ebook (and a DRM'd one at that), when I could buy two print books for the same price, and get Amazon to ship them free to my door?

I buy ebooks because they're easier to see... The lousy formatting makes them less enjoyable to read in some cases, but seeing is a prerequisite to reading. I need the inverted screen and the ability to enlarge the text and view the book on a back-lit display.

I've also noticed that my daughter, age 9, has an easier time reading ebooks with the text size bumped up than she does printed books. In her case, it's not about eyesight, but the fact that larger text and fewer words on the page makes it easier for her to focus - she retains what she's read better. There may be a slight tendency toward dyslexia or something there. It's not sever enough to get a diagnosis, but there is some sort of little "glitch" there that both we and her teachers have noticed it.

Instant delivery is another nice feature. If I decide at 10pm that I want to start a new novel, I can have it in my possession by 10:02.

So ebooks offer many advantages in the realm of accessibility, and there are certainly many more books available in ebook format than there are large print editions, but the poor typography and high price are certainly annoying.
The Keynes quote is funny, giving the number of people that define their selves as Keynesians, and being Keynes dead long ago.

As some people had already stated, MBAs are not the problem, if you go to a good MBA you will have good teachers, and those people have very clear in their mind all those economic fallacies and more.

Ethics are the problem.

The problem is the fact that somebody could enter a company, increase the short term benefits, but destroy the company long term, and get out rich, and nobody going after them. HP(last CEO got at least 5Million) , GM(what are 50 Billion these days anyway?, nobody lost their seat), Golmand Sachs, buying bankrupt states CDS(enormously profitable while it does not break, the bill is payed by taxpayers when it breaks)...

E.g if Google decides to "monetize" all the info they have over me overnight they will increase their profit a lot (x5 or x10), but I will start looking after other companies search. As everything I use uses their services it will have to be a slow, progressive change, while the genius MBA graduate could declare victory and retire rich at 30, but it will make people spit at hearing the word Google.

Another example, there was a time in witch SCO was a serious software company, but some guy decided to make himself rich while destroying the company, and now the name have a different meaning.

It's not a command but it is still useful. When you are typing a long command and you realize that you need to do other command or set of commands first, usually you type ctrl + c to cancel it. By default it does not save in the history. If you put # (comment the command) in front of the command (you can do it quickly with Ctrl + a #) and then you can use Ctrl + r to get it back. I'm sure there are other ways to save the command in the history but it is a simple way to have the same effect.
What makes you specifically mention fast performance? I wasn't aware that this was the most important selling point of Clojure. What kool aid is it that you won't drink this time?

For me, Clojure is great because it allows you to build powerful abstractions and has some interesting concurrency constructs, while running on the JVM and making it easy to interoperate with Java code. Of course, being a Lisp, it uses Lisp syntax.

Or maybe a game that allows you to use real-life physics and maths knowledge to your in-game advantage? Like, giving you enough data to compute the angle for a cannon to shoot at, while hinting you very delicately towards what knowledge you need to acquire to do that?

One of the biggest problems of maths and science education is that they're useless and boring as hell. Or, at least that's how it looks like from kids' perspective. I think that a first step towards teaching them those skills in an interactive way would be to create an interactive environment where maths (or physics, or chemistry, or biology, or astronomy) could be actually useful. Some way for knowledge to give you in-game advantage, or at least expand your gameplay. A game in which you could actually read where's north from the trees and stars. Etc.
I thought is was worth mentioning, that the Google Closure Libary has quite an interesting approach to this. They use the Closure compiler to handle it. First of all only the pieces of code that are actually used are compiled into the final javascript file. You can also set compile flags in case you only want to target specific browsers, like mobile webkit, which will reduce code size even further.
> You fall for the fallacy that you actually could be free of social influence anyway.

No, I never implied that I was free from the forceful influence of the State. Social obligation in the context of the post I was responding to is (I thought) referring to regulation and taxes, the social contract.

> You're born to some family, speaking some language, walking some road, sheltering under some roof someone built, lighten by some power that was brought to you, etc. Are you pretending you don't need anybody else?

I'm not pretending that I don't need anybody else. I just don't find moral legitimacy in being compelled to do things by force without my consent.

Private roads aren't allowed to exist, I pay for my own shelter presumably built by people who were already paid to build it, I pay for my power by the company that provides it, and language I acquired by picking it up from others at who provided it freely.

At one time, I had similar thoughts e.g you have to move to another place (usually a large city) to be successful in business. Then, I figured out that by whatever billionaire list or financial metric you choose to look at e.g Forbes, FT - nearly all entrepreneurs started out in the city/country they were born in. Travel is obviously good to broaden your experiences in life, but it appears that starting your business in the place you're from is more often the best way to succeed.
Ever had a video driver bug crash an application or bluescreen Windows?

Yes, but I've also had audio, webcam, scanner & IDE drivers BSOD my computers over the years as well. Drivers usually get better with time, but crappy drivers aren't unique to video cards.

Admittedly I have not tried, but I suspect it's going to be very difficult to get it to work well from within a VM.

VM software is getting better at passing 3D through to the native hardware, so it may be easier than you think.

HTML parsers and renderers have indeed had plenty of vulnerabilities. They have taken years to get as secure as they are today and we may not have seen the last of the exploitable bugs in them.

This is the story of software in general. As long as there will be software, there will be bugs, some of them severe. Doesn't mean you just accept it & not try to prevent them, but you also don't stifle innovation because of the fear of causing them.

3D graphics drivers, on the other hand, are designed primarily for performance in a scenario where they are run by a single-user game on the local machine, often with Admin privs already.

Not really, they've supported multiple 3D accessible contexts for years & years now. Also if you're running Vista or Windows 7 you are more than likely already relying on the 3D hardware to render your 2D desktop. Web browsers are already using features of 3D hardware to further accelerate non-WebGL content.

Apple knows that WebGL bugs will result in jailbroken iPhones.

They also know that they messed up on the antenna design of the iPhone 4. Apple is not immune to flaws.

Guess how many years their OpenGL support level is behind the PC...

This doesn't really matter because WebGL is essentially a copy of OpenGL ES 2.0, which is closely based on OpenGL 2.0.

The GPU can access host memory directly with no access permissions.

So can your CPU, what's stopping rogue apps from doing so? Software. WebGL mainly involves writing GLSL scripts that act on buffers & arrays of data. You are limited to what data types you can upload into the video card.

Perhaps there are more vectors for vulnerability, but I'd rather see WebGL take off as a transparent standard, than rely on Adobe. Plus it's performance could be much greater than sluggish Flash. I admit I'd like to see more granularity as far as control. Last thing I want is WebGL ads eating up my GPU/CPU/Battery rendering stupid ragdolls physics simulations.

Living in Norway has its benefits even for startups: (from HN a while back) "In Norway, Start-ups Say Ja to Socialism" http://www.inc.com/magazine/20110201/in-norway-start-ups-say...

The same is true in every major scandinavian country. I think it's a case of several factors conspiring:

1. There are more swedes in scandinavia than there are any other nationality.

2. Young people move to the cities to find work.

3. Youth unemployment rates are high across scandinavia.

4. Ease of mobility across the scandinavian cultures. Olso in particular is close to sweden, and swedes understand norwegian with very little effort (and vice versa).

Thus, you have young swedes moving into all of the larger cities in scandinavia, including Stockholm, Malmö and Gothenburg.

Excellent, and I am going to try it. But I still think using something like Flume has some advantages mainly because of Hadoop eco-system. For instance you can plug-in the log data to HBase and use Hive to write to high level abstracted queries and run on Hadoop. I am guessing but seems like there are plugins on the way for various systems but not Hadoop.
Update:
Also Flume can use any data stream, for instance Twitter stream so not limited to log Analysis only.

"I have Chromebook"

'Me have Chromebook', surely.
Sure, but the OP still has a good point. Google can put out major, 'change the way we do X' products out there and completely flop without much fuss. They get back on it with a new products with the hope that one of them will take off.

Apple bats much higher and rarely misses on the big products. They make big announcements and put a lot of credibility behind never seen by the public products. Out of the major product categories, a lot caught fire fast: ipods, iphones, ipads, OSX, istore, itunes, air. Several didn't catch fire like that but still picked up decent usage: appleTV, icloud, iwork, ilife

It's actually a remarkable experiment. Evolution vs intelligent design. Both are way better than the average but each approach probably has an advantage in certain situations.

Apple's approach is probably better for hardware-software products. You need scale and certainty to get prices down and the wow factor to jumpstart sales.
