The biggest thing that I learnt was you don't have to find ways of driving traffic to your site with advertising and link building etc...

Just social web interactions such as replying to posts and helping people on sites such as server-fault (with a discreet link in your profile) can generate a substantial flow of users to your websites.

And the best thing about this flow of users is that they are more likely to find value in your website than the average person which would be directed from paid advertising.

What is the purpose of this, to offload the SSL processing to the "load balancer" appliance/software?

Or just to find a load balancer that has support for SSL traffic?
Does going public affect innovation?
I am using Firefox since version 0.x and Chrome at the same time, though using Rekonq, Opera, Aurora, Epiphany for various purposes. Mobile web browsing still needs a lot of innovation, and I believe Firefox must stay away from the desktop metaphor and innovate in the mobile version. Here are some ideas for Firefox. http://www.augmentedmadness.com/suggestions-to-improve-mobil... I know Firefox early builds have other better mobile and touch integration.

&#34;HELP&#34;
Windows NT, just like any relevant operating in the last 30 years, operates on the same I/O to files abstraction as Unix. I'd say Windows NT does it even more than modern Unix, at least in NT NICs are real devices in the namespace.

The BSD people in the '80s forgot this fundamental abstraction and introduced sockets, then X came, again neglecting 15 years of good practice and introduced a completely incompatible model to do I/O.

Rob Pike, Ken Thompson and other Unix people were dissatisfied with this and created Plan9, a Unix descendant where truly all I/O happens by operating on the namespace and without an ioctl(2) system call.

Many, including myself, believe Unix took a very wrong path in the 80s and that modern Unix is more clumsy and inconsistent than the systems it was designed to replace, but architecturally speaking Windows NT is pretty much the same as modern Unix.

/edit:

I've seen both in the cited article and in OPs link that people confuse files with files descriptors.

On the linked superuser site there is repeatedly mentioned that Mac OS X is build "on top" of Unix. This is not quite right. OS X has a BSD userland, but in many ways its developers thought differently.

For example "/dev/audio" doesn't exist on OS X. CoreAudio is taking a different route than the "everything is a file" Unix approach.

That is one of the worst entries on all of Wikipedia, and misrepresents what the sources say by undue weight. The clean-up of Wikipedia on these issues

That's basically it. I install to ~/local/stow/$pkgname , and run stow -d ~/local/stow $pkgname. Uninstalling is done with rm -rf, upgrading is done by uninstalling then installing. The only $PATH addition is ~/local/bin. A $pkgname-$version scheme might be interesting as well, if I wanted to keep older versions around.

I think risk management [1] is the best way to approach these decisions. When evaluating a tool/technique you're whose tradeoffs you're not entirely familiar with, simple rejectionism can kill you later with the poor maintainability and complexity of the toolset you just happened to currently be more familiar with.

Sensible risk management means you have fallbacks when a particular risk doesn't work out, while reaping the benefits of your speculative investments.

That said, while I don't like simple rejectionism (and probably would not tolerate such an environment for long), it's probably a lot better than teams which say Yes way too readily.

(Also, I question the actual cleverness of so-called "clever" ideas. Clever as in the random pun that took a fraction of a sec to think up, or clever as in the good hack that cuts the gordian knot?)

And /dev/tcp does not exist in Unix. Neither does /dev/draw.

Everything is a file broke in Unix in the '80s when sockets and X windows came. Original Unix' developers tried (and succeeded, IMO) to fix these problems and created Plan9. In Plan9 all I/O, being regular I/O, GUI applications, networking etc are done through the namespace.

Unix means two things today, one is a useless certification, usually referred as UNIX and the other one is a loose set of tools, ideas and encompassing practices. Mac OS X fits both these definitions.
Ask HN: What functional programming language should I start with?
Hi All,

I have been programming in C/C++/Python for some years now.
Now, I am going start learning a functional programming language, but don't know which one to start with.
Some comments on which is the best to start with and why, would be great.

Cheers !!

I wonder if it has anything to do with the Delegate pattern used in iOS vs Android's Listener pattern when it comes to handling continuous touch events on the main thread, rather than the rendering speed.
Succint and straight to the point. You should give a course in "social demythification"... I am serious a lot of people suffer because in such a pragmatical way. I 'll just add that rising to top position is more often than not a question of "hacking a system" and if some institutions are really in the business of selecting people that will secure prominent position, they should reward greatly those who have proven they possess plenty of "hacking" skills. It follows that if those institutions don't follow this logic, it's not because they "anticipate" who will hold power position in the future but because they actively decide on which bias it will be decided.
Not to mention how politically incorrect it would be to try to call someone out on it: "Hey, aren't you Louis Smith? You said you were black on the application, but you don't look black at all!"
I can't imagine it happening.

I saw it happen, back at my law school in the 1980s. (I have no comment about how generally this might happen today.) The classmate of mine who was called out about his "race" self-identification had a dad who almost anyone in the United States would identify as "black" (who definitely had African ancestry, along with European ancestry) and a mom whose historically traceable ancestry was all European. He (the student) himself looked "white," so much so that he could pass as my brother. According to a report in our university's daily newspaper, after his presence in the Black Student Association (to which new students who had indicated that they were black were automatically invited by the law school) became noted, when he filled out his application forms, he checked the boxes for both "white" and "black." (This was before "choose one or more" was the standard language next to race categories on admission forms.) He stayed in law school, and he graduated, and he still practices law. But the other members of the Black Student Association ostracized him, even though he shared many aspects of the black experience in his daily life, and would have legally been classified as black in any southern state during segregation. (Our state, Minnesota, has never had de jure "race" segregation nor has it ever had a law against "interracial" marriage.)

As is mentioned in the official federal definitions, mentioned in the online FAQ linked to from a comment above,

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3309338

the federal definition of "American Indian or Alaska Native" is "A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America), and who maintains tribal affiliation or community attachment." In other words, if you don't have community attachment to an Indian tribe, or formal legally recognized tribal membership, you are not a Native American or Alaska Native.
Those are some nice technical details and it’s right to correct them when someone gets them wrong.

They ultimately, however, don’t matter†. If scrolling on one device makes me want to throw the device at the wall while on another device I don’t even notice that I’m scrolling, then that’s a problem.

I’m looking forward to trying out an Android 4.0 device to see whether I still want to throw it at the wall. That’s the only thing that matters to me. (Lagging is only part of the problem and occasional lagging really isn’t a problem. What always annoyed me much more was the delayed reaction. I swipe, nothing happens, the page scrolls. That’s extremely annoying.)

† They obviously do matter. Different implementations lead to different results. But only talking about the implementation and ignoring the results misses the point.
Terrible example because no-one actually gives a shit, where it's pretty clear some people - with money to spend - do give a shit about the devil.
Android's graphics problems are not due to a lack of hardware acceleration. They're due to poor architecture.

The reason iOS is so silky smooth is because each view in UIKit is backed by a CoreAnimation layer which will be a pixel buffer in hardware. This means that if you move a UIView in iOS, no new rendering needs to be done of stuff that was "uncovered" by moving the view since each UIView has the full contents of its view stored in its CALayer. All that needs to happen is all of the layers are composited in their new positions which hardware will blazingly fast. However, as I understand it in Android, each Window (containing multiple Views) is one pixel buffer in hardware. Each view then draws in to that. This means that if you move a View in android, another view will be "uncovered" and since that area of the screen isn't stored somewhere, it has to go down the view tree rendering the now uncovered area of the screen. Even if that rendering is hardware accelerated, it's still going to be muuuuuch more work that just recompositing all the layers on the screen as in iOS, I mean imagine if there's text uncovered there? That's not going to be quick.

Now, there are downsides to iOS's approach - it uses a bunch more memory. But the upsides are basically what makes iOS good - all those silky animations. Android's just getting to a similar level of smoothness, but mostly only through better hardware.

(Caveat: How android works may have changed since I last looked, but that just makes the mystery of lack of smoothness even more interesting ;-) )
What does this mean for their competitors? Taleo, Kenexa, etc.?
Yes. After all Bert the Turtle is very alert.
> You should learn something: that variance within groups is far larger than variance in the averages of groups; and thus race and culture are poor signals for use in judgement. To protect against this bias, we do hold to equality across racial and cultural lines; to do otherwise, is to be racist and simply morally wrong.

I don't want to take sides in this debate, but I often see your above post appearing on debates about this issue.

Can you explain what your first three sentences even mean? It is basically vague, ambigiuous and devoid of any meaning (while sounding academic - perfect for online debates).

LiFePO4 is not a new (as in research) technology (i came across it when looking into eBikes).. It's just lithium ion battery with a lithium iron phosphate cathode. In practice, this means it trades a little power density for a little longer life.

It could be an interesting option for electronics as power draw continues to fall [eg. would be good in a kindle now], but long life over lighter/longer battery life is a hard sell for both consumers (short termist) and manufacturers (reduced planned obselescence).
Now the idea of open digital communication is well established, legal frameworks will not be able to do anything but slow it down. Whilst the US government is producing laws to stop free/open digital coms they are also developing stuff like internet-in-a-suitcase which is designed to get around 'repressive governments' which do to allow open access to the internet. This indicates the stupidity of using legal systems to control communication in this way.

Great read. I am interested in finding about more of the Framework development Bones.
In elementary school, I charted out the average distance of each planet (yeah, in those days I called Pluto a planet) from the sun on common scale on an adding machine tape. Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars were all very close to the beginning end of the tape. The outer planets were far, far away, and the tape wrapped around several walls of my elementary school classroom. Yep, space is big.

And all the distances within the solar system are beggared by the distances between distinct stars in our galaxy, not to mention the distances among different galaxies. Arthur C. Clarke wrote an essay about these facts, titled "We'll Never Conquer Space."

What does "operating on the namespace" mean?
Did a bit of investigating. It seems you can make Android views use layers as iOS does. But it's off by default (maybe because of this OpenGL using 8MB of memory per process thing).

(Further reading: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.htm... )

Edit: Also, I missed where she said that in her post: "Starting with 3.0, if you set the flag in your app saying that hardware accelerated drawing is allowed, then all drawing to the application’s windows will be done with the GPU. The main change in this regard in Android 4.0 is that now apps that are explicitly targeting 4.0 or higher will have acceleration enabled by default".

Unfortunately only the the Samsung Galaxy Nexus has Android 4 and I'm not sure there's anything other than a few tablets that have Android 3?
They are claiming 5 times more sales, so are they saying that Microsoft take the same cut as Apple? Also the app was language learning app for (presumably) the very young, how likely is that these youngsters would have (extended access to) an iPhone? I can easily imagine giving the kids a Windows phone as a play thing because you didn't care if it got damaged or not.

So isn't piece this just saying putting your product in the right marketplace results in more sales than putting it into the wrong marketplace?

There are a lot of variables that need to be balanced..
high energy density (both mass and volume), decent lifetime (charge cycles, unused degredation), charge/discharge time, suitable voltage range, availablility of materials, non-toxicity, complexity (cost) of manufacture, unused discharge rate, etc, etc.

This also explains why we get so many breakthroughs- a breakthrough in one area alone is usually of no practical use. Where they are they tend to be of niche interest.

Batteries are largely only a major problem in the electronics industry; and the car industry as that goes electric. There are a lot of other ways to store energy which are used in heavy industry where portability isn't required- flywheels, supercapacitors, even HEP stations are used as energy stores by the power grid.
