As noted elsewhere, the _Noreturn spelling is used precisely because such identifiers have been reserved since the first ISO C standard, so existing conforming code shouldn't use them and hence shouldn't break.

However, rather than introducing <stdnoreturn.h> to create the pretty spelling, it would perhaps have been better if the standard specified that if you define a macro like _C_SOURCE to a suitable value before including any standard headers then you get that define.

That would mean old conforming code would continue to work, and new code would just have to start out with

#define _C_SOURCE 20110101

(or whatever the actual date specified is) to declare its allegience. This kind of thing would also allow older-standard compilers to detect and reject code that requires the newer standard.
As far as I know, there were some problems with an add-on so they're waiting until things are fixed. However, I could be completely wrong about that. You can get it here (although this will put you on the beta track, which will soon be 10): http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/beta/
I think he means there's no chance $1M could be mistaken for $1000 in this context.
Also possible that people that are good at acquiring money tend to also be good at acquiring mates, and that the money isn't the primary cause.

This sentence borders on absurdity: "Not only does income increase the amount of marriage, marriage also increases the amount of income." .. They are essentially arguing that marriage and money have circular causation.

The only information in the article is that marriage, money, and education are positively correlated.
i am proficient in html/html5, css/css2/css3, javascript, jquery, python, mysql, nosql, but design is a whole different ball game. i know what looks good, but i can't be bothered to create icons, banners, logos, color palletes, and such in photoshop (?), provide guidance on margins, padding, font, layout, etc. given a set of wireframes, colors, images, icons, font family, i can go to town on a website, so i still believe in the need for a pure designer.

as for being able to add input into simplifying user experience, reducing clicks, using certain jquery widgets over html elements, etc, i can provide ample input. so it's really the visual piece that i lack. maybe it's time i picked up a phtoshop or illustrator book for myself :)

anyone hiring?
Ah I see what you mean. No, we generally don't unbind events on models/collections, but this is mostly because we don't remove views/subviews from a page that often. We try to cache as much stuff as possible so subsequent clicks between tabs are really fast.
The braking force might be insignificant in a slit cylinder, however you did originally say that the slit eliminated the braking force.
Nice theme! All of the vim themes I tend to see are very simple in terms of color. Understandable that some might find more than a couple colors to be distracting, but I find it very helpful.

Syntax highlighting was the one last thing I regretted leaving TextMate for, but yesterday I spent a day tweaking my own theme (based off of Tomorrow-Night https://github.com/ChrisKempson/Tomorrow-Theme , which does have a vim theme but I found it lacking and not at all like the TextMate version) and I like it so far. But it's nice to finally know of another theme with nice colors. Thanks :)

In fact I think I like the string highlighting on this one, I might try it on mine :)
Thanks for the info. Very interesting.

Burn rate of 62M is pretty high. That can fund about 300 people plus other costs like hosting. Is that only for the browser or for other projects as well?
No, not everyone.

Just like not everyone ran Windows.

But, yes, I do believe that in a world without Android enough people would currently be using iPhones for it to be an antitrust matter, just as Windows was for desktop OSes in the 90s.

How to make your best employees quit
FWIW, Microsoft does not bother with C99 not because they are lazy, but because I honestly never remember C being "the focus" at all: they have been strong backers of C++ since before I started doing Windows development (which itself was back in 1994). They mostly seem to ship a C compiler only because it is often easy to dumb down their C++ compiler to do so (and even then, C++-isms sometimes slip into their C modes).

"""Thanks for submitting this suggestion. I've resolved it as Won't Fix, because we currently have no plans to implement C99 Core Language features. While we recognize that a few programmers are interested in those features, our finite development and testing resources force us to focus on implementing features that will have the greatest impact on the greatest number of programmers, which means C++."""

-- http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/5...

"""Unfortunately 1) There are many, many more users of the Microsoft C++ compiler than there are of the C compiler; 2) Anytime we do customers discussion and/or solicit feedback the overwhelming response is that we should focus on C++ (especially at the moment C++-0x); 3) We just don't have the resources to do everything we would like. So while we are slowly improving our C-99 support (and we are active in the C-1x discussions) I can't promise we'll add any of these features."""

There are two kinds of callables. Functions, which can contain multiple expressions, and lambdas, which can contain only one.
Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is the combination of Maxwell's Equations in a moving frame of reference and The Navier Stokes Equation. So it includes both the impact of inertial and electromagnetic forces of the flow. MHD is the long wavelength limit of kinetic (particle) plasma theory. The Earths core has in the past been modeled as an MHD fluid but it is usually assumed to be incompressible. I am not aware of compressible models but I have not worked in this field in a decade.
China blocks sites, everyone uses a VPS. If peoples favorite sites start going down, i'm pretty sure the majority of users will start working out how to get around the block, and those that don't probably weren't as frequent users anyway.

You have to remember, for a lot of people their online experience ends at facebook, youtube and hotmail. Sites like reddit, stack overflow, digg, all have audiences that generally don't use IE and will also be able to find a way around a SOPA block. Sure, these sites will lose a lot of traffic, but SOPA will FAR from kill them.

It's often a good idea to have all these specialties be different people for the same reason that writer, editor, and proofreader are optimally different people. Now it doesn't hurt for all involved to have abilities and training in all the above, but responsibility and focus can be enhanced by some creative segregation.
This article does a great job of pointing out how science has limited it's thinking. It's not that science is wrong or is going to perish, it's simply needs to open it's perspective more.

Take for example the first time you came up with a cool new product. You took it to a VC/someone who's done it before, and they ask you about your market, price, revenue etc. Science is still creating cool new products, not paying attention to everything else around it.

Here's another good example: wind farms. We've been creating massive new wind mills that are more efficient bigger, etc etc. Have we ever looked at how to install them in such a fashion that they become more efficient as a team rather than an individual? And have we looked at how wind patterns change because of them?
This is interesting, but it seems like they are processing/producing a single sample at a time (though some effects seem to be buffer-based.) While convenient, it is a very, very inefficient way of doing things.

I'm not sure John Ioannidis[1] would agree with you. The number of papers he has shown to be incorrect in some way is disturbing. I don't think anybody would say no progress is being made, but we are taking two steps back for every three forward.

The article did leave something critical out: what now? Reductionism doesn't seem to be working for systems like the human body (or psychology or climatology or...). So what do we do about it? I think that is what my grandparent reply meant by a new process to deal with complexity, because reductionism is failing to often in these systems.

Some of the comments here seem rather harsh and certainly after the fact. There are a lot of knowledgeable, well-intended people on the committee and the standard was ratified by nation states. So it is finished. The time to take issue with it (draft/formal comment period) has passed.

This is pretty funny. I just did this demo two weeks ago at work. We had two motors that were neck and neck for a project, then when we put them both in am aluminum housing, one drew 50% more current at full speed idle. I found both this demo, and the demo of dropping a big magnet on to an aluminum sheet. I for sure need to play more with magnets, In fact I am lusting for the big magnet that

Ask HN: We were told our idea is amazing, but our startup is failing - what now?
Just over a year ago my co-founder and I started working on our startup full-time. As we developed the product and talked to other people, everyone said our startup is an amazing idea. I even had a situation where a total stranger that I was pitching to, took out her iphone and ordered our product right in front of me - it was amazing.

Our customers also love our product and the feedback has been extremely positive. We didn’t just ask friends and family - we actually validated our product before we committed to it full-time.

Our startup is in the travel industry, we put a new spin on the traditional travel guide. After many months work, we have finally managed to cover most of the popular tourist destinations in the world. We are making sales, but it's a trickle - nowhere near enough to support us.

Here is an example of our product: http://bit.ly/szvH36

We bootstrapped and have reach the end of our funds. Attempts to get incubated via Chile, YC and Techstars have so far been unsuccessful. We haven't gained enough momentum to approach angels.

I had to go back to contract work to start paying bills, but I am still moonlighting on our startup. My cofounder is going to be in a similar situation very soon.

This is what puzzles me... how is it possible that everyone thinks our idea is good, but we haven't managed to gain momentum?

Any thoughts, ideas or feedback on how to keep the company afloat would be great.

The problem is we are publishing the wrong answer too many times. The bias in journals to publish positive responses (not to mention the drive to create company profits!) means people aren't rewarded for finding out they are wrong.

Fix the incentives, and I think we'll have better science.

Cool game and concept. Lots of fun. Now some feedback:

1) The touch logic on the blocks is frustrating for me on the iPhone. It takes me several tries to move a block. It thinks I want to scroll half the time, or doesn't register the touch with block. Maybe the block touch zone should be bigger than the block itself.

2.) Putting ads directly in the level seems distasteful to me and ruins the immersive experience. Would rather have them in-between levels or at start up.

Mozilla & Google, is there really such a thing? Or is it Firefox vs. Chrome?
I also don't think it's always the case disproving something is a step backwards, that still enhances our understanding of the topic.

Sure newton was essentially wrong, but a) newtonian physics is still a fine short hand for near earth simple stuff, and b) it's not like we lost understanding of the world, it was supplanted by a better more precise understanding
I agree with you there. And maybe the point here really is that this industry in particular is plagued with bad science.

Point well taken. Human arrogance does always seem to be the largest problem in any system.

The advice of pnathan, elsewhere in this thread, is good. This is a better article than what I've come to expect from Wired.

The main point of the article is that scientists have exhausted the low-hanging fruit of useful correlations and are now grasping at the more dubious correlations. The author claims that things are complicated by the concept of causation.

He cites David Hume: "...causes are a strange kind of knowledge. This was first pointed out by David Hume, the 18th-century Scottish philosopher. Hume realized that, although people talk about causes as if they are real facts—tangible things that can be discovered -- they’re actually not at all factual. Instead, Hume said, every cause is just a slippery story, a catchy conjecture, a 'lively conception produced by habit.' When an apple falls from a tree, the cause is obvious: gravity. Hume’s skeptical insight was that we don’t see gravity -- we see only an object tugged toward the earth. We look at X and then at Y, and invent a story about what happened in between. We can measure facts, but a cause is not a fact -- it’s a fiction that helps us make sense of facts."

It's been a while since I've taken philosophy, but Hume's skepticism of causality is itself a story by its own criteria.
I think it's possible for most of the web-mobile projects today that aren't too ambitious in their scale, with one caveat: servers cost a ton on money.
For the past 10 years or so, I've been using an alternative to printf() that I lifted out of Hanson's _C Interfaces and Implementations_; in my tree, it's "fmt.c", and includes the family of fmt_<star> functions. They're just string processing code, and so are trivially portable to WinAPI, OS X, Linux, and FreeBSD.

This is so much of a win that I don't understand why everyone doesn't do it:

* Cross-platform counted/allocated/concatenated string semantics that with no annoying nits from one platform to another.

* "Native" support for printing IP addresses (%i), which gets rid of inet_ntoa and ilk, and binary.

* A registration system for adding new format codes, which is like being able to create Object#inspect functions in C code.

All of which is a roundabout way of saying I agree that we don't need to improve printf/scanf; we need to burn them with fire.

I'm going to tend to believe PHK if he thinks explicit structure packing is a win, noting at the same time how unlikely it is that any implementation of it is going to be a performance bottleneck compared with I/O.
> almost all prevailing contemporary environments use virtual memory

IBM's Compute Node Kernel (Blue Gene) uses offset-mapped memory (no TLB). This is great for reproducible performance (much less than 1% variability on thousands of cores, compare to 30% or more on Cray). Admittedly, most jobs running on CNK will use constant stack sizes across all threads, but not all.

The C standard does not specify that the language be implemented using a stack at all, so it would be inconsistent to provide an API for manipulating stack sizes.

Ask HN: Anyone looking for a SXSWi pass? I can't go and need to transfer mine
I bought a registration for SXSW Interactive 2012, but just found out I will be out of the country on those dates and cannot attend. I'm allowed to officially transfer my registration to anyone else (with a $125 penalty, which I'll pay). Please email me if you're interested in transferring my registration to yourself.

Current registration price is $750. I'll sell mine for $700 OBO.

I simply adore the irony of this.

It's not like it wasn't expected. You can't just expect people to sit back and accept this.

I hope they are forced to remove the "no sue" clause for good.
Your displeasure probably comes from the paragraph on David Hume. One of the principle criticisms leveled against Hume is that his philosophy makes the natural sciences and even inductive logic itself problematic.

On a work-a-day level, scientists and engineers seem to take the same position on causality as that proposed by the medieval scholastics.
Actually, the API allows for both, whichever suits your needs. When doing buffer based processing, you can even add advanced automation, etc.
It's actually very easy to hack the code. I've created a "God-mode" version that you can play on github:

It's intended to be used with lists with different payloads, all "inheriting" fields from a standard list structure (usually another macro expansion).
The "field" argument cannot be passed as an argument to a normal function in C. FWIW, you could pass it as an argument in C++ (which supports pointers to members), but in C++ there are numerous better ways of implementing this.

My immediate feedback is that you are charging too much. I can buy a travel book which details hundreds of things about SF for ~$20, used $10. I can get a Google itinerary for many places for free.

Second, this seems like an impulse buy sort of item. ( i.e. I'm stuck visiting somewhere new but haven't had time to research it.) A mobile app that allowed quick access to new itineraries via gps look-up might make for a better sales rate.

Investors In Our $400,000 Seed Round And How We Met Them
Right, that's what phkamp was saying. That the committee was a messy process that produced an artifact that needed to be fixed right out the gate, and didn't get up to a decent standard for a long long time.
This article misses the mark completely, both by extrapolating medicine to science as a whole, and by attacking the idea of causation rather than the sketchy practices of medicine.

All of the examples are pulled from medicine, notorious for its lack of experimental rigor. To say that "Science has failed us" implies that either medicine is the the only important science or that all science is equally as sloppy, which is pretty insulting to a scientist in any harder field.

His focus on causation is even more misguided. The very purpose of science is to understand the way the world works; to understand what causes what. To attack the idea of causation is to attack the very idea of science, and in turn all of the advances it's brought about over the past 300 years. Beyond that, we implicitly accept causation in almost every aspect of our lives (Pressing the space bar causes a space to appear, etc). Certainly causes can't be 'seen' like facts, but to suggest that this trivializes them, or somehow makes them less useful is nonsense (and, for what it's worth, is total misreading of Hume).

Complexity isn't a valid reason either. Some very well understood systems are incredibly complex (look at the computer you are using now). What is true is that like all other humans, scientists make mistakes. We often make the incorrect causal links or are influenced by our biases. This is why experiments exist (instead of pure data collection); to make sure the causes we have assumed are correct. To point to a couple of experiments with an unexpected result and then say that all of science has failed isn't even a little bit right.
So pretty much what's being said here is "M$ sucks!!!! Supporting them is like supporting the murder of babies!".

If this passes, not only will they find people will create tons of tools to make circumvention easier than ever, but darknet efforts redoubled and work to make the net in general more censorship resistant explode; and people doing their worst to ensure it'll be harder than ever to stop piracy.

Keep contracting to pay the bills. As you guys save up some cash, hire a designer to make the pages prettier.

So many people will disregard the praise for your site if it's ugly or they can't figure it out.

Edit: A little more food for thought - I opened the page you linked, then went to the homepage, then closed the page. It just didn't appeal to me visually. It wasn't until I saw the comment about charging too much that I even realized you sold something.

So on the cost thing - split test! Run a test between $5 and $10. Seriously. Combine a pretty product with a price that seems just barely over the limit and you will likely find that people are finding your product "re-assuringly expensive". It costs $10 and it's pretty. It must be a high quality itinerary.
