What are you talking about? The whole problem is that the Maastricht treaty didn't contain binding fiscal controls, and the requirements of unanimity for many decisions mean that, in practice, they're useless.

You seem to have a bone to pick with Germany and France (and I assume with all the original 6 EEC members) , but the fact of the matter is that they (some more than others coughItaly,Belgiumcough) at least managed to grow slow enough to make things not quite as unsustainable, unlike the more recent members who saw the advantages that the EEC member got out of the union but who weren't, let's be honest here, politically and economically mature enough to be in the same league as the others. It's not about 'oh but they did it as well!' - some could afford it, others couldn't, and shouldn't have. And it's their responsibility, and all this whining and blaming others now just shows their immaturity and unwillingness to take the sour with the sweet. (i.e., when my neighbor makes more money than I do and buys a BMW, and I buy one too and it's repo'd because I can't afford it, do I have a valid defense in saying 'oh but he bought one too?' Of course not).

(btw, I'm not sure how you can call 'fiscal discipline' 'righteous'. It gives off the impression that you have no rational understanding of the situation and just 'feel' that things should be in one way or another, completely disregarding objective reality.)

Here's a Pinterest post on introverts for your wives/gf's: http://pinterest.com/pin/72057662757405469/

It says:

How to Care for Introverts

* Respect their need for privacy.

* Never embarrass them in public.

* Let them observe first in new situations.

* Give them time to think. Don't demand instant answers.

* Don't interrupt them.

* Give them advanced notice of expected changes in their lives.

* Give them 15 minute warnings to finish what they're doing before calling them to something else.

* Reprimand them privately.

* Teach them new skills privately, rather than in public.

* Enable them to find a best friend who has similar interests.

* Do not push them to make lots of friends.

* Respect their introversion. Don't try to remake them as extraverts.

While not all true for me, it seemed to help my wife and I understand our problems a little better and that we were not unique in them.

Predicting the Future of Computing
The fundamental problem here: PayPal doesn't really care about how merchants feel about it. PayPal cares about making people who spend money really happy, and they succeed at that. They have a huge captive audience with eBay, which requires the use of PayPal. They have thus created a huge base of clients who want to spend money using PayPal, because they find it convenient, because in many cases because it doesn't require a credit card, and because the customers know that they can always complain to PayPal and PayPal will make them happy.

Thus, PayPal doesn't particularly care if merchants despise them, because the merchants have little choice; you can't easily convince people to use a new service, and on eBay you have no choice at all. PayPal will quickly provide a refund to customers because PayPal want to keep customers happy, and because they know merchants will eat a refund now and then. And PayPal doesn't particularly care about understanding merchants who don't ship physical objects to customers in boxes, because they don't want to think too hard about that case when it doesn't matter to most of their customers; they'd rather err on the side of "you haven't shipped a product, so we'll issue a refund".

No amount of bad PR among people like us, who actually care about merchant woes, will overcome the incredibly positive impression PayPal makes on people who spend money.
There's prior art - I ordered drinks by SMS in a cinema several years ago.
Not every typo results in a 404 and not something broke doesn't always mean a 404. On the other hand, its not the intersection of these two, also.
There is nothing stopping other browsers from implementing the same features, most of them are probably fully documented standards anyway, even if there was no documentation people could just look at Chromium's source code, which was certainly not the case with IE.

This article is immensely ignorant, it basically states that no browser should have capabilities that other browsers lack, if that would be the case than we would end up in a deadlock, because everyone would wait for everyone.

Emerging standards need to be tried in the open, Google is doing the right thing, they are trying SPDY with real world web apps and real world customers so that it will mature by the time other browsers implement it and we won't be stuck with implementations that suck.
This is quite a decent prediction, except for the Sci-fi in the AI future timeline!

Don't VCs see how incredibly destructive this is to the startup ecosystem? I would _never_ put in 80 hour workweeks if I suspected I could be cheated out of the big winnings (which would be very unlikely in the first place). This is just another story that hammers this point in, only a week after the Zynga debacle.

And there have got to be more developers like me out there, who simply are too cauctious and value their own time too highly to risk being conned like this. If you want to be reasonably safe from stuff like this, your only options are to (1) bootstrap, (2) take VC but be so good that you can set your own terms or (3) work for a company that will guarantee you a good salary, benefits and bonuses.
Is there some reason this is an exclusively iOS app? Seems like something generally desirable... if appropriately designed. Or is there some business reason for the restriction?

I feel bad for netflix - but at the same time this loss of customers was a long time coming.

I had friends that had been paying for netflix for years, barely checking out a movie or two a year. What netflix did was stir the pot - their price hikes kind of jolted these people and reminded them of their subscriptions. Had netflix done things slowly, these same people would never have noticed and everything would be ok. The reason I am so harsh on netflix, is because surely they were aware that a large segment of their users were almost dorment - did it really not occur to anyone what would happen if they rocked the boat?

I am not really favorable to the all-in-the-cloud trend at Google. NaCl seems to be the exact opposite to that and I am as other users (as expressed in a comment above) happy with that.
Another point is that it is not a replacement to DirectX. WebGl is this replacement, and WebGL is a common initiative, not a Google's invention.
Yeah, it's hard - all nice dictionary words are obviously already taken, and sometimes odd spelling seems out of place. That's why I started thinking of portmanteau. For me that ended up in "welshare", but other nice options emerge as well.
Are you upvoting it because you agree with the rant, because you think it's time for a new debate over Python 2.8, because you think Python is losing space and turning into the future Pascal, because you hate 2to3, just because you think is nice to have some news about Python...
It would be very interesting if some of you elaborate a little bit on what parts of this article you agree with.

Great site and I wish you the best of luck, there is (was?) indeed a need for a personal photo storage service that is not Flickr, Picasa, Facebook or Dropbox.

I'm not an expert: I spent a bit of time about ten years ago researching the topic, back when there was a lot of talk about guild structures being appropriate to software development.

Yes of course you cannot accomplish exactly the same things with Javascript as with Java for the simple fact that Javascript is imposed as (almost) the only scripting language understood by the browser. To use Java on the client side (not as an applet) you need a generator like GWT or our own Strongly-typed Javascript (http://st-js.sourceforge.net ). I agree that the line of code is maybe not the best way to measure the cost of development but it's a simple way to compare similar languages (given that all the other costs of the project are the same regardless the language). Using multiple complex external and internal libraries, refactoring the code to adapt to new business requirements, debugging in Javascript seems very time consuming to me. The help of an IDE these days is extremely important. A simple syntax highlighter (even with some auto-complete support) is far from being enough. I'm still curious what IDE you used for your project and what was the cost, the size of a module where the requirements didn't change much. As a side question, how do you rename a method for example with the tool use (imagine that another method with the same name exists in a different class/module)?

Maybe the irony flies over my head, or are you seriously arguing that the absence of 'porn stars' from the 1800s makes scientists more important? 'porn stars' didn't even exist back then because the medium they use was only just invented!

(I don't care about the actual discussion, but your reasoning is so flawed I was compelled to respond)
I couldn't disagree more. Startups just going away over night is _the_ major objection I hear from business users (small and large) against using any of these products.

Purely consumer oriented entertainment kind of apps may be a different matter, but for anything else consumers are very apprehensive when there is any talk of losing access to an app they rely on. Unlike geeks, they can't just take some CSV dump and move their data elsewhere. For them, the UI is the data.

You may be annoyed about the tone in which some geeks complain about free apps going away, but don't let that mislead you into thinking geeks are the issue here. There is a huge issue and it's not opinionated geeks.

I agree on the `estr' idea. I agree that it "punishes you" when you want to try and deal with byte strings. It really gets in the way with handling decoding and encoding of email.
My experience too.

The sad thing is that SAP started with all the right intentions, one model fits all - but they messed up when they bowed to the demands of ignorant IT managers and opened the pandoras box of custom built software.

The real irony is that SAP started because custom built software was the problem, and SAP's founders knew - like anyone with a bit of intelligence - that almost all companies run the same business processes.
Pinboard: How many users are using the service?
tl;dr Pinboard has 9550 users.

Pinboard charges a one-time signup fee of $9.55 for new members, the fee is based on the formula: number of users * $0.001, so the current number of users is $9.55 / $0.001 = 9550 users.

"I'm pro-porn, but from my experience many of these 'fans' are so in awe of their idols..."

Tangential to the discussion, and maybe I live in a bubble, but do this sort of people exist? I mean, what does being a 'fan' in this context constitute? Collecting all movies of a certain actor/actress, or actually reading biographies, trying to meet (maybe 'meat'? I'm the funny guy in the family) them? I'm not even sure how that would work, do porn actors have like 'public appearances'?

Ask HN: How to bill clients in an hourly job, when you use your pre-built code.
I do a lot of freelancing work. Billing the client on an hourly basis is the fair way to keep the project realistic and on track.

However, a lot of times when I start working on a project, I copy a lot of infrastructure code which I've built over the years. This helps save a lot of hours for the client. So it definitely adds a lot of value, but I do this within an hour or so. So, how do you guys suggest I bill this? How do I explain it to the client?
"The multimethod based design of the language"

I've only just started looking at Python, but I wasn't aware that it has true CLOS-style multimethods (or multiple dispatch). I know that there are ways you can add multiple dispatch to Python - but is it really accurate to say that the entire language has a design that is based on multiple dispatch?

Note that I'd be rather pleased to find that multimethods are an integral part of Python - they were one of my favourite features of CLOS and I still miss them.

Why I prefer Homebrew:

1. No alternative copies of Python, Perl, Ruby, zlib, etc...

2. Everything installs to where it is supposed to, i.e., under /usr/local/

After installing via Homebrew, things do not look drastically different to having compiled them by hand.

Fink does install precompiled binaries: http://www.finkproject.org/

If you think there is no complexity issue with sandboxes, try using both Macports and Fink side-by-side.
I would think that the ACLU would have an interest in the ruling though.

lol at any prediction after AI.
That's just brilliant. It reminds me a bit of Microsoft's Photosynth.

I think this technique provides a lot of possibilities for future consumers. Maybe in the future you could cross-match your photos with an online database and auto-adjust the color and light balance accordingly.

E.g. Let's say you went to visit Machu Picchu on a very cloudy and rainy day. You come home and realize your photos look terrible. You put your photos in a piece of software and match them with an online set of Machu Picchu photos. You click on "auto-adjust" and hey presto, they are transformed in to a set of photos that look perfectly lit and balanced. Or am I just dreaming out loud.

"The multimethod based design of the language"

What is he talking about?
Again wrong. How do you think entrepreneurs are pricing their wares if not by perceived value? Did you think they were doing something like "labor cost + 20%" or something?

The cost of making something is only used to determine price floor (i.e. if perceived value is lower than the price floor it makes no sense to create this product).
Yup, we're gonna do a lot of rework on the front page content after hearing all the comments here.

I'm actually pretty new to Python, using it daily for the past few years, but I do have to say I have a real uneasy feeling about Py3.

Adoption seems very slow from the various libraries, and without those people just won't move over. And if that's the case, then the language will stagnate, along with the myriad of great libraries that make it so excellent.

Python 2.x suits me just fine right now, it is a pragmatic language that lets me get things done quickly and predictably. But I would be lying if I didn't admit to gazing over Ruby's way now and then and thinking that the grass sure looks green over there.

Thanks for the feedback.

1) You might be able to just set up OpenPhoto pointing to your hard drive and make your photos web accessible and easily searchable. You could also push to your drive from your mobile device. There's lots of room for unique use cases :).

2) You think? You could always throw CloudFront in front of S3 if you wanted. It won't be as fast as your local disk but it should be pretty fast.

3) That's the goal. Better actually. The UI is completely themeable so I see a lot of potential to have themes specific to different types of users.

I accidentally downvoted you. I still disagree, but disagreement doesn't warrant downvoting (I think it's totally abused lately). Anyway, I think you're just reading into it too much.
