What do you mean? You can do this just fine:

#include <cstdio>
#include <functional>

using std::printf;
using std::function;

function<int ()> f(int x)
{
function<int ()> g = [x]()
{
return 2 * x;
};

return g;
}

int main()
{
auto f1 = f(5);
auto f2 = f(6);

printf("f1() = %d, f2() = %d\n", f1(), f2());

return 0;
}

(Which prints `f1() = 10, f2() = 12`)

Or did you mean nested functions in the sense of being able to form named closures so that they can call themselves with a headache? It is admittedly more or a pain to do that (if you want to return a closure), but it is still doable, using new and delete:

#include <cstdio>
#include <functional>

using std::printf;
using std::function;

function<int (int)>* f(int x)
{
function<int (int)>* g = new function<int (int)>();

*g = [g, x](int n)
{
if(n <= 0)
return 1;
else
return x + n * (*g)(n-1);
};

return g;
}

int main()
{
auto f1 = f(0);
auto f2 = f(1);

printf("f1() = %d, f2() = %d\n", (*f1)(5), (*f2)(5));

delete f1;
delete f2;

return 0;
}

Or did you mean something else?

Edit: Or, you could do something Y-combinator-ish like this: http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Y_combinator#C.2B.2B but yeah, it is a bit of a hassle compared to named nested functions.

If I paid you $250k to lay on a couch very quietly, staring into space and not sleeping, for 8 hours a day, how long would you stay motivated?

(Note: This is reducto ad absurdum, not a comment on how interesting writing bad software may or may not be.)
See, I know you're right in the way you framed it but you're glossing over something huge. Sharing between 2 people is one thing but when you open that up to the entire Internet its more than sharing, it's distribution. If I send a friend a movie I ripped, it's sharing. If I post a torrent on the Pirate Bay and share the link to it with my friend, well that way more than just sharing. And even if I give my friend the video as an email attachment one time, that's much different than if I let him borrow a DVD.

The ease and scale by which we're able to distribute content is good but it's easy to cross the line between fair use and infringement. I don't want more laws restricting freedom but it's the individual's who are taking advantage of this that give our government the excuse to impose such laws. We need stop hiding behind technicalities like "sharing" and look at this realistically. No one is entitled to free content no matter how evil we think the studios/labels/software giants are.
In other words, can the Verizon Galaxy Nexus even be considered a "Nexus" anymore? The article implies "no."
Whoa there. I don't not want to live in Austin. I wouldn't choose Austin if I were making the choice now, and that's for exactly the reason you provide: the work I want to do isn't here. As someone who's already here, I don't demand what I could get in the Bay Area, because I can't move there. Although I'm using my own experience in the post, this isn't about me - it's about the people Austin companies want to hire, who often need a reason to move here over SF, NYC, or any other place.
> The Austin businesspeople are right: folks who want to make a lifestyle choice of going to Austin from California should get paid less to do it.

"Should"? Huh?

Did you read the article? Austin companies are having a hard time finding talent. How they can improve their situation is simple economics. That's it. There is no "fair", whatever that means.

> but the all of us who have done this can tell you that remote workers are almost never as productive

Anecdote.
Absolutely. But it seemed the original TC article was trying to suggest which program was best for startups. So if trying to figure out which program is better for general partners/limited partners, I agree average makes sense. For startup founders, median is what matters.
Because I wouldn't use any of these, I'll tell you something I would like to see built. An elegant interface for my computer in my browser. http://mypc.

EDIT: This is not a web app.
Agreed. If you're a developer looking to live in Austin, you may very well expect a lower salary; but, if someone is trying to recruit me to Austin, I'd actually expect a higher salary than in California, as I would much prefer San Francisco to Austin. (Quality of life considerations might come into it as well, as mentioned in the article; $150k will get you much farther in Austin than in San Francisco. But I only spend so much of my money locally; don't expect me to take a paycut to come out to live somewhere I have no particular interest in living.)

Hi, I made this. Just so you don't get your hopes up, this hasn't been 'released' as such, it was made to work for me as a learning project. That said, if there's interest I'll tidy it up and post a tutorial.

GitHub only contains a Mac application and an Arduino sketch. Both of those will be fine with your screen. Hardware-wise I've used a ULN2003 array (very simple and inexpensive chip) to power the LEDs from the Arduino. You should be able to do the same as I did, but just with more LEDs.
Thanks for the helpful feedback. I really appreciate it.

I think you're right that I need to think about things that you would be able to do uniquely on this site that you can't do other places. This was originally a side project so that I could have something fun to do with family after Thanksgiving dinner. It's already done way more than I expected.

I agree with you that I need to come up with something to make it different, if I'm going to keep working on this. The frustrations that I've had with reddit/stumbleupon/youtube is that there are a lot of distractions. So I just tried to make things as minimalist as possible. Stumbling for videos on StumbleUpon hasn't always worked well for me either - I often get thrown back into a "normal" website after more than a few stumbles and the ratio of videos that I actually like is kinda low. I like your idea of sharing lists of videos. I'm all ears to other ideas.

I understand the rationale for why you wouldn't come back. Honestly, I was kinda surprised to see so many people return. I'd say 20 unique people (those 20 people are different each day) are coming back to the site on any given day. I've emailed them to ask what they like and what'd they'd like to see me make. The main critique I got was the one about carrying over the session data after you create an account. I'll work on doing that. I've just been storing that in the session, which gets reset after you sign up. Good advice.

I like your idea about adding reviews/comments. It also gives people a reason to sign up.

I'll be sure to add a pronunciation guide in the about page.

These are all great suggestions about how to keep people on my site. I'm also curious about how to get more people to visit in the first place.
I don't think this is an RSS-specific issue. If you read Hacker News from the main page, you would experience the same workflow.

Besides personal experience you didn't really give an answer to the first part.

As for "should", let me put it another way. If someone can't afford it, is it okay to let them take it free? No. They either never buy it, save up for it or get it as a gift. But it is not okay for them to take it and claim its alright because "I can't afford it".
Point taken. Just wanted to bring up the idea that there are other considerations besides just productivity that might affect a company's policies.

> when it makes much more sense for companies to avoid hiring people who think it's a shitty town in the first place

So your advice to tech businesses in Austin is to further reduce the pool of people they can hire from? Interesting, considering this wasn't an "I Hate Austin" post but rather a reply to a story about the fact that Austin businesses currently can't find talent.

Also, just because you don't want to up and move to Austin for half as much money doesn't mean you think it's a shit town. You can want to live here and want to be paid well. For the time being the only way I've found to do both is to work remotely for bay area companies. That sucks for Austin.

I don't see anybody saying otherwise.
It's not about a dislike of Austin. This is a reply to the article about CEOs trying to lure bay area devs to the city with everything but a proper salary and actually interesting work.
I use VIM and sometimes use the arrow keys. These come in really handy when you have a lot of small edits to make that can't be readily automated (not really that frequent).

However the huge shift in mentality has to go from the idea that you are working with a "text editor" (which VIM and EMACS are not IMHO) and a text processor which I would argue these are.

When you start thinking about processing rather than editing text, the productivity goes way up. There is nothing like these tools in the text editor world for editing large, complex codebases. IDE's can't compare.

Well, my abacus doesn't seem to support Flash.
I disagree. The original article is specifically about attracting good talent to Austin. Someone presently in the valley, who is worth attracting, generally has no reason to leave. You need to come up with good reasons for them to leave which outweigh the massive black hole of attraction for tech talent which is the valley. Offering a significant salary cut is not going to help your cause -- you cannot be losing on hygiene factors when you are selling from a weak position.

Trying to sell the candidate on the cost of living being lower is actually bogus anyway. At high salary levels you cannot look at cost of living as a percentage difference, you need to look at absolutes. A thirty percent pay cut on a 150k salary works out to about 2500-3000 per month after taxes. This is a lot more than the absolute value cost of living difference.

Making it even worse, you are asking candidates to move from an environment where they have a couple hundred interesting alternate employment options, all at that 30% higher salary, if the current job does not work out. They are moving to a, at best, tertiary market -- meaning there is a very good chance that they will have to move again for their next job.
This isn't really correct.

When you say AppStore you have to make a distinction between Mac and iOS.

As a platform, iOS doesn't allow you to bundle any dynamically linked libraries with your application (so everything everyone ships on iOS is statically linked). You can dynamically link system libraries though. Since they don't allow you to download and execute any code not shipped with the app, this hasn't been a big issue (except with trying to use LGPL code and to port apps that are already configured around dynamic loading or use different processes to isolate functionality).

Now Mac apps fully allow dynamically linked libraries bundled with your app (even with sandboxing enabled). There are fewer restrictions on the Mac AppStore in this respect. Like for example, plugins are fully allowed and supported. Code added to the app after the fact is fine (as long as the advertised core in the app store is there without downloading additional code). On this, working with LGPL restrictions are little more plausible.

A framework is basically a bundle of dynamic libraries and headers in a package. Frameworks for that reason are no different than dynamic libraries, so your usage of the term here and false distinction from "shared-objects" is incorrect here.

LGPL requires that you allow the user to be able replace the LGPL library out completely and that you release the source to the library if you, the user, who I distributed a binary copy from, requests it. This is just not possible on iOS with static linking of course, but it is possible on Mac OSX.

The bigger issue is that Apple is the "distributor" of the app and not the developer that gave the copy to Apple. If I wanted to request LGPL code, I would have to contact Apple because I obtained the application from them not the developer that gave them a copy. Apple doesn't have a facility for this.

If Spotify were so awesome that I'd never switch,

You (or the article) are arguing that they couldn't be that awesome. I tend to agree that is the case, but it only takes one billion dollar music [self-publisher-supporting-and-that-actually-makes-money?] service to prove me wrong.

Again, it comes down to bargaining power. Non-content-owners and non-disintermediatable-distributors don't have it. TFA is saying so but is doing so in such a way that suggests that the music industry is novel. It isn't.

Yesterday HN rallied a post on Louis C.K. to the front page - a post which celebrated his deference to the inevitable reproduction of his work, a post which celebrated Louis as a hero for his ignoring this reproduction, for nobly enduring it like the good little artist he is and merely asking for a donation for his work.

I now see why it is popular here on HN for artists to give away their work when we as 'entrepreneurs' would never dream of giving away ours: the artist is labor, and we want to minimize that cost.

I pay $14/month for cable (so that I can get cable modem access). How in the hell can Netflix offer the full range of content for $8/month when that would cost me an additional $80/month if I bought it directly from Comcast?

Comcast negotiates directly with HBO to carry HBO's content. Is Netflix going to do better as they negotiate to carry HBO's content over Comcast's lines? Net neutrality helps, but the logical conclusion of that is to have the distributors representing themselves on the Net, not to have Netflix represent the distributors on the Net.
It's also possible that they only need to make just enough to convince other future companies to invest in going down the same path, so they can bleed investor capitol until they suffer the same fate but in doing so prop up the short term profits of the record industry.

To have "senior" appended to your title, no -- that is basically nothing, and means as much.

To be a genuinely "senior developer | engineer | programmer" in the eyes of others it probably takes at least 15 to 20 years of experience building and running things. Not all of that needs to be professional - writing door games in high school counts.
Logically, in order for Spotify to survive, it must develop a platform for artists to market themselves therefore bypassing the labels. During the height of MySpace there were countless stories of new artists being discovered on there. The iTunes music store also has that potential, but Apple doesn't seem interested in going down that road.

Spotify has a long way to go before that happens though. Its music discovery features are almost worthless. The What's New section lists nothing I care to listen to. It would also be nice to see tour dates and real social features.
To be as explicit as possible: poor functioning as a result of discriminatory stereotypes is no evidence of innate inferiority, be it in women or men or whomever. It is evidence of discriminatory stereotypes, that is all.

It's very hard to effectively motivate people

I hear this a lot and am starting to wonder if they teach that in business school?

You don't motivate people by "aligning them with the company vision". That only leads to these embarrassing company events where the 3 stakeholders gush over their "mission statement" for 45 minutes straight while 3/4 of the attendants really only wait for the free pizza to arrive...

You motivate people by treating them like adults, paying them well, and by minimizing the amount of bullshit in their workflow.

As for the pricing at b&m stores, at least in the case of smaller shops, they simply don't have the ability to price anywhere near Amazon. They don't have the leverage to negotiate low enough prices from publishers and distributors.
