It's interesting that MIPS are getting behind this one, I assume they're hoping they can steal some share back from ARM in this space.

However, as it's a marketing video there are approximately 4 seconds of "actual device" footage on there. Here's a video purporting to show 4.0 actually running on the Novo7:

Looks good, although they don't really do anything apart from navigating around menus.

(Lots of videos show Novo tablets with Android 3.x, which it apparently already shipped with. Which I don't understand at all, did Google provide MIPS/Novo with sources to build Honeycomb for MIPS?)
I think it's likely that more people have seen works(videos) of those pornstars than works(papers) of those scientists. Also that more people remember names of those pornstars than names of those scientists. So I think pornstars are more famous. Whether that should translate to more Wikipedia notability I have no idea.
This was fun but nerve-racking. I qualified and competed in the challenge but froze. The guy I talked to through Skype was real nice and supportive. Was a neat experience overall :)
I have no knowledge of the actresses' area of expertise, yet I can fully enjoy their work. But without at least a MS (maybe a BS in some cases), I doubt I can fully appreciate the work of the professors.

Personally, I believe the work of the scientists of course deserve more recognition. But if you were going to go down that road, I'd start with trimming the wiki entries of pro-athletes or generic Hollywood celebrities. Their lives and contributions affect me even less than pornstars.
Kind of funny to have this making front page while the "Don't be a free user" link (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3320931) is the top story. What is the business model here?
Why would I get downvoted for sharing a product I use? I am in no way affiliated with the team or product.
Because most porn stars have publicity agents, and most scientists do not.

I have all kinds of PDFs (legal documents from formation and financing, contracts, etc) as well as other kinds of notes. They are all available on my computer, iPad and phone, and I have shared folders with some team members.

The PDFs are key though. Unlike the Dropbox app, they are searchable.

Thanks. I understand you perfectly, in fact, JSONScript is not a replacement for Javascript, it just make it easy to develop server side API's without having to dealing with Javascript. I found it perfectly suitable for those Android and iOS developers that have to use persistence services like parse.com or stackmob.com just to persist simple server side data. As the number of ignitable modules(node.js modules designed to be used by the fire.js Runtime) grow up, then less javascript those developers have to write.

I'm also improving the error reporting for the stable version, it's kinda hard to figure out where the error occurred in this alpha version.

btw, you can develop without the IDE, there is a command line utility called 'firejs' that you can use to launch the apps. If you want to know more, check the tutorials. https://github.com/firejs/fire/wiki/Tutorials

Thanks for your comment jim :)
This is my original point.

The vast majority of government IT systems are very ordinary things that are used all over the place.

Things like: payroll, issue tracking, asset tracking, emergency services management, waste disposal, vehicle registration, fines management and payment - the list goes on and on and on.

Yet time after time we find a government department insisting that their payroll system is unique because of x, y and z, and that their asset tracking system requires a custom solution.

This should be flipped on it's head and instead it should be : here are the top 3 whatever purpose systems available in the market. We will choose which one suits our needs the best, then we will change our work practices to best match the system.

Because changing the work practices will be easier and more successful than trying to build out (or customise) their own IT project.

But this requires people to think about practical solution, and to no have IT empire builders.

No government tries to re-invent railways, roads or sewage to their own needs- they look at what works elsewhere, and adapt to the technology available. Yet they go in the opposite direction when it comes to building computer systems. When you look at the graveyard of wasted billions on customised government computer systems - it's time for a new approach.
You can still reference biased writing. It won't make the angle any more objective.
I once had a heated discussion with a classical violinist about who the most known Dane was outside of Denmark. She insisted that it had to be Carl Nielsen, a composer, whom she was sure everyone would know. All her friends knew Carl Nielsen, and many of them could play his most known symphonies from memory.

I'd only vaguely heard of him, and contended that maybe Hans Christian Andersen would be more known, since Disney had adopted his fairy tales and made them into stories that every child around the world would know. Or maybe Niels Bohr, since his contributions to atomic science were so great.

She would have none of it, and insisted that everyone she talked to, both in Denmark and abroad would instantly recognise Carl Nielsen, but only some would recognise Bohr, and a few didn't really know Hans Christian Andersen, and certainly didn't know all his stories by heart like they knew Carl Nielsens symphonies.

She lived in a bubble: Her friends and the people she worked with were all musicians, composers, or were otherwise deeply into classical music, so she made the obvious mistake of thinking that Carl Nielsen would be widely known, since everyone she met seemed to know him and his music well.

If you asked people on HN who the most famous Dane is David Heinemmeir Hansson might be mentioned. Or maybe Bjarne Stroustrup who invented C++, or Rasmus Lerdorrf who invented PHP, or maybe Anders Hejlsberg who invented turbo pascal, Delphi and C#, or Lars Bak who developled the Chrome V8 javascript engine and was developer lead on Googles Dart language.

You need to look beyond your own bubble to see who is notable in the general public. Ask a random stranger on the street how many pornstars he can name, and then how many scientists he can name and you'll see that the author lives in a bubble.

Agreed. Specially if they still have the Babbage Difference Engine No. 2 on display (it was absolutely thrilling seeing it actually working).
Sure, the code will be open source. It will still have to be hosted somewhere. Who'll pay the bills?

Pinboard's long-term income is primarily from the archiving users. The storage and full-text search index would be even more expensive to host for free.

You are right about random strangers on the street, but Wikipedia's official policy is:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(people)

Within Wikipedia, notability is an inclusion criterion based on the encyclopedic suitability of an article topic. The topic of an article should be notable, or "worthy of notice"; that is, "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded". Notable in the sense of being "famous", or "popular", although not irrelevant, is secondary.

So it's not all about being famous.

There are a bunch of ways of monetizing free use though. I work with Free/Open Source accounting/ERP software and I estimate that less than 1% of our users put money back in our pockets.... But at the same time a lot put money in somebody's pockets, and this grows the community which makes us all more successful and prosperous.
I agree. I would place Dijkstra's 'A Discipline of Programming' and Feijen and van Gasteren's 'A method of multi-programming' right up there with 'Introduction to Algorithms'.

What sets these books apart is that they try to tackle the problem of _how_ to design elegant algorithms. In the process they introduce crucial concepts like invariants which, once you understand them, become indispensable tools in reasoning and designing algorithms.

More generally, their stress on elegant proofs develops a taste for mathematical elegance which would serve all programmers well as they design new systems.

These books are much too under-appreciated, in my opinion.
As apposed to someone saying "I've spent many hours enjoying videos staring adult performers Belladonna and Sasha Grey so YES, I have close connections with the subject. And I believe I can objectively write a good article about them."...

...which by Wikipedia's standards would then be ok.

I'm pro-porn, but from my experience many of these 'fans' are so in awe of their idols they're far more likely to write biased entries than peer-scientists who are able to write about a notable scientist with a professional level of rigor.

Factor in most adult performers have all sorts of controversy surrounding them that fans will happily defend/spin you have even more room for abuse and non-NPOV articles being written about adult 'talent' (for want of a better word, that is the official industry terminology).
Because after a certain point it's your own fault for not saving a bit. People who make less money have fewer options because you can only cut back so much on food and rent.

A person making $20k a year doesn't have much flexibility. They'll have problems just getting by, much less saving 18 months of expenses.

On the other hand, a person making $100k a year can always pretend they only make the $20k and save the rest. Or they can live more comfortably and still save some money. Or they can spend with reckless abandon and save nothing.
I'm not talking to individuals. I'm talking to a specific, highly motivated group of people, some of whom are pursuing undergraduate or graduate degrees, some of whom are considering pursuing undergraduate or graduate degrees.

Downvote all you like, but I've learned a few things through three degrees at three different universities, and my advice remains the same -- particularly for anyone attending a for-profit school or graduate school:

If you plan on going to college, learn to game the system.
It's a question of why notability requirements are stricter on academics than pornstars. A fairly comprehensive list of pornstars will not be super huge, especially compared to academics, and will have fewer cranks trying to push a point of view through those articles. It comes down to a pragmatic point of view, not an actual argument that the least notable porn star on that list is more notable than the most notable scientist excluded from the list.

I personally say let them all in, but that battle has been fought and lost long ago.

While I have never read Code Complete, I know of at least one very smart guy who read it, highly recommends it, and is utterly incapable of maintaining legacy code he did not write. He simply refactors everything he touches, which is not to be recommended. There are no books I know of that teach you how to work in legacy code. It's a dying art.
Thats a good one. Thanks!
Perhaps it is looking for details of your music/CD/DVD. There is an option for it automatically fetch such details as a list of tracks, artist, etc, to display.
But I'm not commenting on that aspect of the argument. I'm simply pointing out that the author can not be wholly objective on the particular point I quoted.

Because Wikipedia notability isn't a ranking function.
ok, you're right that compulsory education isn't equivalent to a "guaranteed right" - in the latter one can opt out, while in the former a child is truely guaranteed to receive it. In both cases, be it compulsion or pure right, the government is, obviously, responsible for the delivery upon it to happen.
Well for a start, I didn't downvote you - just replied.

I think if you take your aspect of the argument to it's logical conclusion no one that has any reason to be editing a wikipedia page on a given subject can be wholly objective on that same subject.

Anything I know enough to comment on, I probably have a biased view on.

For example I have no biased view on the Greek/Turkish ownership dispute of Cyprus, but that's because I know nothing about it.

Which all just demonstrates yet another flaw in Wikipedia; why he put that resource on such a pedestal all the time, I don't know.

Given that the plane was on battery power when it landed, a ground crew may not have still had contact and control of the aircraft. In the case of the "Gimli Glider" mentioned below, there was a total power failure due to fuel exhaustion and IIRC the pilots had to crank down the nosewheel by hand.

Design Patterns needs to be read with the understanding that the patterns are for specific types of languages and are not universally applicable.

Also, it should have a short appendix explaining that you do not get geek brownie points simply by using as many patterns as you can think of.

I realize these are not problems with the book per se, and it's worth reading, but some developers seem to get the wrong message from it.

Thanks, and yeah, I still have to do a lot of work. yes it is slower because I haven't optimized the UI to work with VIM-like navigation, but yes, you are right about the mouse and the UX, it's better to keep the hands on the keyboard most of time while you are coding. About the debugging, is not that hard as you may think, I've designed the runtime with debugging in mind from the very beginning, it's a lot of work but is not impossible at all.

My interest in having my business rely on PHP Fog has just dropped to zero. This strikes me as a company going on tilt.
Shoot, sorry to hear that. I think our attitude has always been pretty good, but the communications channels a few years ago were just not great or easy to find (it sounds like you were stuck on a "my account was hacked" workflow).

We've improved a lot in the last couple years though - we launched the explicit whitehat program in 2010: http://www.insidefacebook.com/2010/12/22/facebook-security-t... and the bug bounty in July of this year: https://www.facebook.com/security/posts/238039389561434.

Feel free to respond here or let me know if you ever run into similar issues with the whitehat program (hopefully you'll change your mind about no longer reporting security problems!).

At risk of squabbling over semantics, "Free software", as used in the article, is orthoganal to open-source software.

Circular reasoning? They solved the land-nav problem because its easier. Its easier because they solved it.

My point was, there is another wrinkle. The land-nav problem was opened up, made a competition with a big marketing budget. It was also intractable, unsolved, too hard. Until lots of smart people started brainstorming and trying crazy things and cooperating.

Airplanes can change speed drastically, which is at high speeds about as effective as stopping. And no, you don't get to say collisions are hard to avoid because 3 dimensions are hard to calculate, making that not a solution.

I think I begin to see why the problem hasn't been solved yet.

Well said and I completely agree. The tricky part here is that the large companies who do it announce it as "bought" or "acquired" whereas they just hire the team and kill the product. Good example recently was the Techcrunch headline "Facebook Has Acquired Gowalla"

Which really doesn't sound right. Entrepreneurship is all about being profitable and getting customers and not to get acquired.
