Downvotes, really?

I can understand "religious" flames, but people at HN also disagree with statements of fact?

Fact: Linux/OSS has bad/lacking/non-existent support for video editing. The fact that you can point to 2-3 half-finished NLE projects that no professional uses doesn't change this. There are the plugins, the drivers for capture options, other supporting software, etc missing.

Fact: Linux/OSS had bad/lacking/non-existent support for MIDI/Audio sequencing. The fact that you can point to 2-3 half-finished DAW projects that no professional uses doesn't change this. There are the plugins, the drivers for capture options, other supporting software, etc missing. No, some semi-abandoned VST wrapper is not a solution.

Fact: Linux/OSS has bad/lacking/non-existent DTP/CMYK support. No Scribus doesn't exactly cut it professionally, and the fact that GIMP got CMYK doesn't change the lack of other parts of the CMYK workflow much.

I don't have exact figures, but each site probably gets a few hundred hits/day, and the mail server probably gets hit every few seconds. The OP made a sweeping "not an option" statement though, not "on a popular site hosted on a VPS".

We got a LoveFile subscription trial with our new (internet) tv. At first I thought I had a limited set of films because it was a trial, but after some research is seems the streamable set of films are actually really limited.

The functionality is really bad too. I'm not sure if that's Sony or LoveFilm, but the way films are categorised has nothing to do with the actual film.

Ask HN: Early employee salaries for startups in The Netherlands / Europe?
I haven taken a break from my full-time job for a couple of months to develop an app prototype on the iPad for a startup in its initial phase. My break is coming to an end and we are are pretty happy with each other.

I like the work: not just coding but also (with the "server" guy, I'm the "client" guy) selecting technologies, managing features / the project, etc.

And they seem to like me and what I, together with the other guy, have accomplished the last two months.

Now, I know my weak point is salary negotiations. There have been a couple of posts about this the last weeks but I also like to have some indications of salaries for the region I live in: De Randstad in The Netherlands.

I'll be monitoring this thread and will answer any questions people will have.

>> Secondly, pass your code through a good lint tool to ensure that you've not used any undeclared variables, since undeclared variables will cause implicit global variables.

There are so many levels of abstraction between us and the physical world. We learn to be domesticated animals, not to survive in the wild (or even close to it). This abstraction is growing in complexity as time goes on. Ie, the distance between us and the chaos of the physical world is growing larger. This reflects the current level of technology. As of right now, we are living in a kind of ordered, programmable mini-universe.

"use strict" is a good idea to ensure quality of your code, no doubt. However, the point I was making was about global pollution. Though "use strict" will help in ES5 browsers, a lint is the only comprehensive way to make sure there's no global pollution in older browsers.

Just tested and this does seem to be in effect. Quite surprised to see it in action here. Not that I support piracy but if websites can be shut down on basis of piracy, what stops them shutting them down on for any other reason. Lets hope this stays as a separate incident.

And I guess most people using torrents know how to use anonymous web-proxies, so this doesn't really block the site that efficiently. To enforce blocking piratebay they'd have to block the proxies too, and that would open up another set of problems. Lets now wait for the decision from the supreme court and hope they are sensible.
>> No.

Monosyllabic answer is monosyllabic. You only state that you disagree, not why you disagree. Doesn't help take the discussion forward.

Why would you think I want to do that? I'm sharing my experience and my knowledge, and you are free to take it or discard it. Also, do you think it's better to attack me while making no real argument?

If you have to come across as having a real point, you are going to have to do better than that.
The same happened to TPB in Belgium: a list of domain names were blocked, but in response, depiraatbaai.be was created, which wasn't blocked.

If you want to go further, Matt Mights papers on static analysis are excellent: http://matt.might.net/#papers

Older versions of techniques like those described in these papers were the basis of the Stalin scheme compiler by Sisskind. From Sisskind's research statement:

Stalin is an optimizing compiler for Scheme that performs whole-program static analysis and uses the results of that analysis to generate extremely ecient code. Stalin utilizes a large collection of static-analysis techniques. It performs a novel form of polyvariant flow analysis that uses iterated monovariant flow analysis to perform flow-directed splitting: cloning of specialized copies of procedures and per-call-site assignment of targets to such clones. It uses the results of flow analysis to perform life-time analysis, escape analysis, points-to analysis, and must-alias analysis. These analyses support a novel form of lightweight
closure conversion that eliminates most closure slots, using techniques such as variable globalization and localization, compresses the static backchain, and usually eliminates most closures from programs. It also uses the above analyses to support
flow-directed region-based storage management, where run-time garbage collection is replaced with static allocation and deallocation on a per-abstract-value and per-program-point basis. It also performs flow-directed lightweight CPS conversion, using extensions of the techniques pioneered with Screamer, to support extremely ecient rst-class continuations. Finally, it supports
ow-directed inlining and low-level representation selection to choose the implementation (or nonimplementation) of tags, tag checking, and tag dispatching on a per-abstract-value and per-program-point basis. This eliminates most run-time tags, tag checking, tagging, tag stripping, tag dispatching, boxing, and unboxing from programs. These analyses and optimizations allow Stalin to generate extremely efficient code that outperforms all other Scheme compilers by factors ranging between two and one hundred, particularly for numerically intensive code. Stalin often generates code that outperforms handwritten c and Fortran code.

Although flow analysis has been extensively published about, I couldn't find much information using the results of it for the stuff he describes. Does anybody have pointers?

> Unit testing is also made easier by using an SQLite in memory database for several unit tests.

That doesn't sound like a good idea. You haven't tested the code that actually interacts with your PostgreSQL database. It seems that you're placing your trust in nHibernate to act exactly the same when working with SQLite or PostgreSQL.

If I were you, I'd run my integration tests against an actual PostgreSQL database and run my unit-tests against a mock repository. That way, your unit-tests test the actual logic of your app without being slowed down by trips to a database and your integration tests actually tests if your database calls work as expected.

How many tests have you currently got and how long do they take to run?

I've just been on a 30 minute phone call with them just to find that link.

I've got an adblock for all Facebook rubbish, and the signup without Facebook link is part of the Facebook item being blocked.

Also, if you have noscript enabled, then you won't see the non-Facebook form either.

I have signed up, by using Chrome Dev Tools to go into the HTML and find the <div id="email_registration"> form, changing the visibility from none to block, and then starting the process from there.

Now, I realise... the fact that I've purged Facebook from my view of the internet is partly to blame, but I bet I'm not the only one on HN to have done this.

On the phone call I did say, they really need to give non-Facebook signup equal prominence to the Facebook signup. I've mentioned the GP too, in that I'm not the only one who was deterred by the Facebook only signup.
