I think what I enjoyed the most watching this was the fact that he clearly has a lot of artistic talent, as well as the ability to code.

Many programmers have been unable to produce masterpieces, due to the lack of ability to produce any of the required graphics / sprites.

Notch was just adhoc drawing animated sprites and they looked great.

Is there a middle ground where you can hire someone to help polish/finish, but under his direction? Otherwise you will lose a lot of time onboarding someone as they figure out his code/approach w/o his full complicity. Also perhaps prune back things that aren't absolutely critical. The person you hire should be able to help on maintenance as well, hopefully.

You might want to make completion of this required before starting project two, as well review from both sides what will be different to help get project two across the goal line to see if there really will be a project two together.
Tridge's reverse engineering was why McVoy withdrew the license, but he'd started to restrict it well before that. Initial releases were source-available, and had a "fail-safe" that would turn the code fully open source if McVoy's company ceased to function. Source access and the failsafe were withdrawn over time, and various restrictive clauses were added. (Most notably, around 2002, McVoy added a "non-compete" clause which purposted to restrict any user for gratis BK from working on a competing SCM for a full year after they last touched BK. I'm not sure that was ever tested in court.) Here's a brief description of the history:

There's also maybe a similar point to be made about him using Java to code his games.

Java gets a lot of bashing these days, and there's so many "hot" languages to mention during those bashing sessions. But in the end, the guy creates games people have a strong desire to play. And then he uses the technologies he's comfortable with to get whatever job done.
I actually don't think I've heard "startup" used outside of the tech sector. A new oil company is basically a startup (they take VC, have few employees, and are trying to grow dramatically), but they're never called that.

I think it's AIX that's truly broken in this case, returning EINTR even though it did actually close the descriptor.

If every implementation returned success when it had closed the descriptor and EINTR only when it hadn't, this would be easy.

Microsoft abandoned the "My" prefix in Vista for Documents, Pictures, etc. in the UI.

And then they brought it back in 7. I guess people complained.

I agree that omitting the "My" or "Your" where possible is the right way to go. If the overall context of the web page or application doesn't make it clear whose items are in question, adding "My" isn't always going to help much, or at all.

Consider Facebook, for example. Look at a friend's page. It probably has a "Photos" link. Would "My Photos" be clearer? Would "My Photos" refer to photos belonging to the logged-in user or photos belonging to the person depicted above the link?

It's the context in which the "Photos" link appears that makes its purpose and meaning clear, and that is usually the case.
This doesn't make sense unless all the top talent rolls over like they did 70 years ago because they didn't know any better. Why do you think studios stopped owning talent decades ago? Because talent wised up. The studios can't be the studios with second-rate talent, but that's what they'll get if they don't negotiate fairly. In short, they don't have the leverage.

Clearly his position is that it's a horrible law. He's traveled to DC to fight it, which is more than the rest of us on this thread.

But getting his business sued out of existence would be a futile, if noble, gesture. The law is technically simple to implement, and it's going to happen if it gets passed.

This whole thread is a fantasy based on the misguided idea that implementing SOPA requires building some Great Firewall of America. It doesn't require that. It's just domain seizure, which already works alarmingly well.

I'm all for engineers fighting, striking, etc. But we need to stop this law now, before it is passed.

Mea culpa. I haven't used 7 very much =)

There are actually a number of historians looking at version/source control (although there still remains a dearth of study, given the importance of the issue). Michael Mahoney, Michael Cusumano, and N.L. Esmenger are three of the more important.

Ugh, SourceSafe. I worked for a company that used it. They had terrible intermittent file corruption issues. Long story short, we tracked down the root cause -- an Ethernet cable wrapped too tightly around a power supply brick, which caused network errors over SMB which led to file corruption. Ugh.

Show HN: Search genres on Tubalr.com now.
Last night I added in a little feature that allows you to search genres on Tubalr. The "genres" are actually the top tags on last.fm, I retrieve the top 250 tags and call those genres then grab the top 20 artist for each genre and their number 1 video, putting together pretty good playlist.

In fairness to you, I'd guess you, too, would code like a demon with such a short and hard deadline. I've watched previous of his codestreams and strange crap does happen, but instead of sitting and thinking for ten minutes, he codes and re-codes for ten minutes. Sort of thinking out loud.
Two points:

1) In my opinion, the U.S. has already pushed a similar agenda abroad (e.g. New Zealand), as a prelude to and argument for introducing it domestically.

2) If I were part of the "still free" "rest of the world", I would be actively planning and working to "route around" the seemingly inevitable and impending "damage". (The problem with this being that the damage is becoming so widespread that it may soon pass critical mass.)

Well as you've pointed out, the line is being blurred these days. The best designers are those who can push the vision of the product as well as make it look good. I find that product managers often lose vision of whats important for the customer and get caught up in what the developers are worried about.

I have read similar articles a few years back. The "missed call culture" as people put it has been there for quite sometime, since the mobile revolution in India. However I would say one reason for this might be that voice mail is hardly used in India - if someone's phone is unreachable or switched off - when you try calling them, you hear a recorded message saying the other person is unreachable - unlike in the US when a lot of times you are just redirected to the receiver's voice mail box. I happen to be not very fond of voice mail :(
Yes, exactly. I don't understand why the Unix guys didn't solve this in libc, where it's both easy and simple (provided the system call returns all the information needed, as it surely would have been made to do had this approach been taken).

Sure, occasionally someone will need to issue the bare system call without the libc wrapper, but that could have a different name, e.g. '_close'.
This option makes tab completions much faster when you are working in the command line. Maybe I just don't pay much attention, but I don't think I've ever seen "My <whatever>" on a Linux system.

There is something called 'common law' trademark where just by use a company creates a trademark. You didn't mention if they claim (TM) which anyone can around a mark w/o registration. Odds are if they started to use first, you wouldn't be able to get them to stop, but if you are second to a category with the same name, they might have the option to stop you. But if they don't claim (TM), you could take the stance that the name is generically descriptive, and something no-one can trademark, and move forward under that basis. But then you leave open potential for others to use name as well.

I think of a startup as a hypothesis, much like you'd find in science. Take problem X, apply Y solution, and make money by doing Z. The process of failing fast and often is akin to performing different experiments on what works and what doesn't. The major difference is that science is science and the results are clear cut and objective; with a startup, your results will depend on the quality of your team, the original idea, ability to get funding, market timing, etc.
> Wouldn't it be trivial to create a female privilege checklist?

Sure. My girlfriend can randomly go up to random people and play with their babies, while my doing so is likely to get me arrested. A mother has the presumption of getting custody in a contentious divorce, etc. Nobody would take a sexual harassment complaint against a woman seriously.

But you know what? In pure economic terms, I'd take male privilege over female privilege any day of the week. I can't remember the last time a woman was sexually harassing me but nobody at work would take me seriously. Negotiating salaries, gunning for promotions, making trade-offs between career and family--these are things with huge economic impact that affects everyone and women have a disadvantage in these areas because of perceptions.
I was mildly surprised at the lack of cynicism here about the Iranian claims on HN. This article then comes as no surprise
There is no need to mangle titles consistently. The behaviour you describe is a good solution: remove shouting by default, and in the case that it is not really shouting (as in POSIX), the submitter can always fix it by editing it back.
I used SourceSafe for the better part of 10 years. The underpinning technology very much resembled RCS.

But all-in-all, it was quite serviceable for a 75,000 line C++ project. Just don't try to do branches.
It's a tricky problem, because I'm not sure any word clearly encompasses the idea that "the user has the right to modify it and share their modifications". Open-source was one attempt, but has the other confusion that it's only about availability of source, not freedom to use/modify it. And RMS dislikes the OSI for other reasons, some of which are that they de-emphasize this user-centric freedom and instead focus more on things like why open-source software improves software reliability.

"Creative commons" is a more successful attempt, but has a strong art/music/literature connotation (which is where it's caught on more, with associated phrases like "right to remix" that get at the same idea, but in a very media-focused way).
It depends on the overall tonality you want the site to be written in. For instance Flikr is written in a different tonality than Picasa. The right tonality is part of what makes a design stick with a specific demographic.
"My x" typically sits under library x alongside "shared x" in Windows 7. So I am not sure that the vocabulary was complaint driven.

Regarding Facebook, everything is shared to some degree so I am not sure it is an apt example.
And with Eclipse having something like "hot code reloading", the style of coding is pretty much the same as one folk programming Lisp with Emacs+Slime (edits and sees results immediately).
That title is misleading but a misleading title is on-topic in a strange, roundabout way.

I just don't understand how with this bill being so clearly bought by the rich media companies, why there isn't a counter from the rich internet companies. I mean if the RIAA can give $1 million to Senator X, then why can't Google give $2 million to Senator X to ignore the RIAA? Sure it's dirty politics, but at this point it's just semantics as to who is dirtier.

The media companies are throwing money at Washington to get their laws passed, and the best Google or MS or Yahoo can do is send some representatives and give those uncaring congressmen a stern talking-to? Obviously these companies realize that SOPA will crush an open internet, which is directly related to their bottom lines. Start lobbying already!
Oh definitely. But when was the last time having a reputation as a "choke artist" negatively impacted someone at work?

There are existing NX implementations that work really well, though, e.g. OpenNX (client) + FreeNX (server). While xspice has potential, for now (and forward, should xspice not "get there") NX is a viable option.
I don't know what the date would be, but I think somewhere before "you can keep lots of versions in one file" should go "you can keep lots of versions of one file" -- a versioning file system. Not sure when this was introduced; Wikipedia thinks it may have been in ITS.

I used to work on a large Lisp system where our entire source control system was provided by Emacs versions and locking on a central NFS server, with some explicit branching support in the build code, and with version freezing done by copying directories. I can hear you gagging, dear reader, but actually it didn't work that badly, except that it didn't handle distributed development.
> The studios can't be the studios with second-rate talent

Combine:

1. There is always a pipeline of new talent,

2. Businesses do not invest without a return.

So either the studios are going to lock in a return, or the studios are going to go away and the entertainment industry is going to fragment into a million pieces.

As much as I'd like to see the second case, my guess is that there are enough starving actors that they will sign up for long-term owned-output contracts.
Rome fell partly because the treasures stopped coming in from conquest. And the US is being invaded faster than any other country in history, to the best of my knowledge. It's odd that so many people are unaware of this. Had 1-2 millions entered Rome every year, as with the US currently, it wouldn't have taken centuries to fall. This is just math of course--people differ in their judgements.
Then you must have setup something wrong. NX has ALWAYS been consistently faster than a typical VNC setup. You also don't have to use NoMachine's implementation - use FreeNX (server) + OpenNX (client).

This isn't the RIAA's country, it's not Google's country, it's not Microsoft's country, and it's not Yahoo's country. It's our country. Until we, the people, accept our responsibilities and stop this from happening, it will continue to happen. More corruption is not the answer.
This is really lame, especially if elegance is part of the judging criteria.
Perhaps "liberated software"? I personally think "open source" and "open license" are sufficient. But yeah, FSF and friends are tilting at windmills with the whole "beer/speech" refrain.
This happens in most countries - I think it's Vodafone in the UK which reads out the recipient's phone number very slowly before letting you leave a voicemail.

It goes something like "Welcome to the Vodafone voicemail messaging service for 0... 7... 7... 4... 5... 9... [the rest of the number]... the person you have called is unable to answer the phone right now. Please leave a message after the tone."

Call me presumptuous, but I know the number of the person I've just called, and don't really need to know how to use an answerphone.

It turns out that guys who get laid are also often sexist, so your theory is bunk. There are also plenty of guys who don't get laid who aren't assholes to women.

When you got to the notion that IT managers should create a culture of respect for women by hiring prostitutes for their most sexist male employees, you should have realized that you had approximately no idea what you were talking about.

I noticed that Google uses +You in English (as a plug for Google+ if you're not logged in) and +Ich (= +I) in German. Maybe they really just want a three letter word.

Researching further:

Italian: +Tu (casual 2nd person)

German seems to be the exception, Googl prefers 2nd person.
