I could be wrong on this but I'm not sure there's any evidence that suggests he's a designer as opposed to someone with an eye for design, similarly, just like how he didn't build or code the original Macintosh but he knew how he wanted it to work. You wouldn't call him a programmer or engineer in that case either (although he did have some experience as a hardware technician).
This reminds me of the dichotomy that Apple and Microsoft faced when developing their empires. There are two major camps I think: one that ties in hardware + software (native apps) and one that relies on software with disregard to the underlying hardware (the web).

It's really tough to say what the clear winner is. There are advantages and disadvantages to both approaches. AFAIK, Apple has always bet the bank on the first approach and it's done well for them.

History would seem to suggest that the first approach provides a richer end user experience where as the latter provide ubiquity. I'm not sure which will win out in the long-run.
The concept may be useful for someone, but the implementation is just slow, naive and definitely not something you want to interpose your libc write function with. If the author is reading this; 'man (2) writev' for a quick code and efficiency improvement.
Yes, basically. As far as I can tell Go is entirely about getting rid of unnecessary cruft and boilerplate and making a practical language you won't hate working in. Inasmuch as most interpreted languages are intended to be practical languages you won't hate working in, they are similar to Go.

As far as the actual type system, the reason they feel similar is probably because interpreted languages tend to be duck-typed, and so is Go. When you code in an interpreted languages you expect arguments to functions to be of a certain type, where type just means "responds appropriately to methods I call on it". In Go, interfaces are just method specifications and any type that has appropriate methods satisfies the interface. For example, you might have an argument "input" of type "io.Reader"[1] to a function. All this really means is that you expect to be able to call "input.Read()" to populate a byte slice. As a result the implicit type guarantees you expect from an interpreted language and the explicit type guarantees you get from Go are basically the same.

Sexy Celebrity Short Wig Hairstyles That Cover the Ears Like Rihanna
Choice you idea pixies were being always mega-short in addition to revealing, decided not to you? Rethink it. There’s almost nothing wrong having sporting an almost-pixie, or some sort of close-cropped slice that seems as if it’s harvested out for two months. This model looks great that has a side aspect and swooping bangs, while beware: chances are you’ll wind in place fighting and keep those entry layers by falling with your celebrity short wig. Make it better by curling hair back off your mind with some sort of round wash, or with some strategic bobby hooks.

Some of those were not very convincing. For instance, it offers the fact that a son of major league baseball player is 800 times more likely to play in the majors than is a random boy as a counter to the Freakonomics claim that practice is what makes stars, not talent.

I don't find that convincing at all. I'd not at all be surprised if the son of the ball player does better simply because he has access to a pro player to help him train and give him advice.

My impression is that Facebook has plenty of people who would not find learning Haskell, OCaml or Lisp particularly difficult, and would thereafter be more productive than in PHP. In fact, I know for a fact that some of their internal tools are written in Haskell and some variant of ML.

If there is any company that should not be worried about a language's barrier to entry or trying to get cheap programmers, it's Facebook--my impression is that they have an engineering team more like Google than your favorite nameless corporation.

I think what Facebook is doing is working with a ton of legacy PHP code. In fact, from what I've heard, they're definitely open to using other languages in new projects; it's just that rewriting all the PHP code they already have would be horribly wasteful.
Yeah, apps were cool in the beginning, like when you first bought your iphone. But after you've installed like 10+, the novelty wears off and all the apps feels like a scam junk yard.
You only get to do this once. Is this the time?

I'm glad that recognizing this was a viable option was valuable to you. In general, I think it would be valuable to analytical people, the type that frequent HN.

For the average Joe, however, I think it is probably a mistake. Most people are not analytical thinkers, and once an idea gets into their heads they do not know how to react to it. Psychiatrists try to get people to stop thinking about suicide because statistically that will save more people's lives. (I'm not a psychiatrist, but have had plenty of training on suicide counseling as a naval officer.)

Oye. Let's not start the "X Most Y of 2011" stuff. Every year we are bombarded by these badly written articles. Can we just skip this nonsense this year?
best part of your argument is that it's the exact same thing one would say back in the days of the first digital cameras (which had no benefit compared to any semi-pro or even point-and-shoot of the time)
> That would change if you practiced reading other peoples' code.

I'm really active on github, and actually read the source code of a lot of projects instead of reading books, and contribute to a bunch of them too. Quite assuming of you to assume I don't.

My code, since I wrote it, will always be easier to understand because I dealt with every problem--not because of the style.
people rarely read error logs?
Yes, there is no gigantic pool of experienced Haskell or Common Lisp developers.

However, I suspect Facebook has a disproportionate amount of them. Additionally, anybody working at Facebook is very likely able to pick up Lisp or Haskell relatively easily even if they do not know it already.

Facebook is exactly the sort of company that does not look for developers of a particular language. I know a bunch of people who have interned there and several (ones a year or two ahead of me) who are going to work there full time. None of them had any PHP experience. Some of them still don't (the one I know best used C++ there, if I remember correctly).

I think the PHP at Facebook is nothing more than a legacy of how it started.
I was talking specifically about those who choose not to wear seatbelts and then go on to become victims of their own decision.

Well, almost all of the facebook shares about this that I have seen are exclusively about the novelty and experiment. I didn't see anything that just left it at "Oh, Louis C.K. is awesome. Check out his new thing."

So at least anecdotally, a lot of people around me bought this because of novelty and to support this business model instead of because they like standup or Louis CK.
He said, in the NPR interview, that he only filmed 2 of the 3 Beacon shows.
So this is why Big Media is freaking out. Anyone with a MacBook and a Shure SM58 mic can record a studio quality album, and anyone with a Canon 5D on a shoulder rig can produce professional quality video. The Internet replaces the studios' giant duplication and distribution networks. And now Louis proves that this applies to full features as well, and that the artist can make really good money with this model. Reminds me of Kina Grannis of YouTube fame, who won a major record label deal, but decided to keep self-publishing, probably for her own best (even financially).
Too bad Big Media is barking up the wrong tree (piracy). They can't stop technology.

On the one hand you're discussing improvements in living conditions of the human race over 40,000 years and on the other you're discussing a minority that has been systematically oppressed up until a few decades ago. Two completely separate discussions.

I apologize for the newbie question, but is dust.js a lightweight replacement for backbone.js?
Ah, okay, I see what you mean. Yeah, you're absolutely right there. Point conceded.

Mentally, I was separating Javascript and Lua from Ruby because while the caller is explicitly passed in Javascript and Lua (either via call/apply, or as a parameter), Ruby methods are implicitly aware of their scope (and can't really be referentially passed around like Javascript or Lua methods). Lua "methods" aren't aware of their scope (though closures are.
I can't say why it worked for him, but it worked for me as a consumer because it was easy-peasy and felt very safe.

I'm perfectly happy to pay for content I can get reliably and instantly. Today I gave Amazon $10 for the two Christopher Nolan Batman films because a) it was dead simple, and b) I trust Amazon not to fuck me over. (And I guess c) it works on my Linux box, and d) I love his work.)

In fact, I'm even happier with the Louis CK thing because it's just a file. I'm going to buy another copy for my dad for Christmas, something I doubt Amazon will even let me do.

So yes, as far as I'm concerned, yes, everybody should do this. They may not break sales records, but they may not do that the DRM way either.
oh man, your example really hits home:

>If someone offered me it for $25 - I would pass it, since I have no place to put it nor I have time to watch it.

Growing up, I hunted down free and really cheap computer hardware. I've always had a sizable stash of equipment that I'd play with, learn about, and eventually use to run services. As I've grown older, the initial purchase price has become less important, and the storage cost has become more important; my current workshop/office is maybe 200-300sqft, and it's got two people and a lot of hardware in it.

The thing is, here the cost is time, not storage space; and I think people learn the 'time is valuable' lesson sooner. But yeah, you would be keeping out 12 year old me, which is fine. Personally, I would think that the majority of people at these events would be past that point. dono.

You'd certainly need to apply another level of filtering; obviously you don't want to listen to a pitch from every joker with fifty bucks, the question then would be how much easier would that filtering process be if you first filter out all the 12 year old lsc types for whom the fifty bucks is a big opportunity cost. Personally, I don't think it would save you much time, but I could be wrong.

Thanks for the pointer, I made sure to read it. What I don't like about it is having to 'define' all the modules that I'm going to use. That is just too error prone.

I'd rather just create a CS class in a file and include the entire file when I need to. More similar to the way that an import statement works in Java.

For now, as I already mentioned, I'm simulating import style functionality with LabJS, which works great. While not perfect, it allows me to async load everything I need as well as minimize the amount of data on the wire. Here is a description of what I've done...

There's nothing wrong with "harmless good humour", and there's definitely a place for it. HN isn't that place, unless it adds to the discussion. Most HNers don't want it to turn into reddit, where comment threads are filled with such harmless good humour and very little content, and so will downvote it.

I'm not trying to berate you or be condescending. I'm just telling you why you're being downvoted, and why such comments will continue to be downvoted in the future. It's up to you to do with that information what you will. If you choose to take that as condescending, then I apologize for the offense.

Ask HN: I need feedback on this startup idea
Here's my idea for an online dating startup. (not sure if someone is already doing this, so please let me know of any other sites)

A site where you submit your profile, pics, and answer some questions about yourself and the type of person you're looking for.

But instead of being posted on the site, your profile is reviewed by an actual "matchmaker" and they decide who to match you up with.

Once the match is made, the two of you get to see each other's profiles and decide if you want to go out on a date.

It takes the pressure off of that initial contacting phase and gives it a sense of authority since an actual matchmaker hooked you up.

What do you think? An idea worth pursuing or not?
seriously how much money is spent on SEO?

Smart companies and individuals don't spend much money on SEO, as most white-hat practices require long-term focus and black-hat practices can get you erased from the Internet. You can't do anything unless you're doing marketing, however marketing must be part of the product and can't be outsourced.

With that said, web apps go viral faster than anything else, that's because there's no barrier to entry. You don't have to be a member of the iPhone users club to try out links.

This is an incredibly insensitive comment, I'm shocked, almost disgusted. One of the most admirable qualities that humans possess is empathy - the ability to understand and identify with someone else's emotional experiences. We reach out to people in such extreme emotional pain because in some way, we experience some of that pain. I'm using the royal 'we', but it seems you lack that ability to show any empathy whatsoever...
