I was quite interested in Kotlin, but Xtend is already out, and does most of the interesting stuff.

I think there's definitely room for a "better Java" - most Java devs should be able to pick up Kotlin or Xtend and be more productive very quickly.

With regard to FP, I think the presence of closures is enough to do a large proportion of the things you'd want.. What do you see lacking in these?
Github pages is another common cause of confusion here. I constantly see links to "github.com" which are really links to "randomgithubpage.github.com" with the rather important subdomain cut off.

>Making a public stand isn't [...] [is] also about making headlines and showing solidarity.

So you think that HN being off for a few hours will make headlines in the worlds newspapers and on the main TV channels? Maybe as an "some tech websites were also offline [and nothing important was lost]" or maybe even (given the quality of some press) "other illegal hacking sites were down in protest against the bill".

I don't have a representative in congress but nonetheless expect congress is already pushing a similar law for my country.

I find the idea lacks any force as a demonstration.

It does have everything to do with you. If SOPA passes it will be a massive threat to sites that are used by everyone - where you live is irrelevant when sites you use start shutting down their user uploaded content or add draconian moderation measures out of fear of the possible consequences of being cut off by their payment providers or losing their US traffic, or when they close as a consequence of losing revenue from the US.
If it compiles faster than Scala I will use it!

From reading the language specs it seems much more pragmatic than Scala (as does ceylon http://www.ceylon-lang.org/ or fantom http://fantom.org/).

I think if JetBrains thought that Scala was a better Java they would be using it instead of creating their own language.

I guess the problem is that you added a bunch of strangers to Google+. That's not what Google+ is for.

Um... Isn't that the reason "circles" in Google+ exist? To draw lines?

It's why we read HN instead of Reddit or Slashdot: mostly to be different.

I don't think anyone only "reads" one community. According to interest, one participates in many?

Personally, I found all this quite confusing (and just when I figured how to "circle"; doh, limit has been reached for adding people. But, you can start adding tomorrow!)... and following the advice of sp332 and betterth, I avoided falling into blunders like Google adding all 1000+ contacts to my Gtalk or notifying each and everything that ever happens in G+ universe.

Moreover, since now people are split inside circles, am I supposed to update the circle manually everyday?

I'd like to see greater integration into the libraries and commonly used types. Strings in Scala for example let you perform all manner of filtering and other functional operations. Collections in Scala also support operations like map, filter and partition etc. Scala feels more like a fusion between functional and object-oriented programming, rather than a slightly prettier Java with closures.

I don't understand this. Upload your image to a (micro)stock agency to sell it, then see how much it is really worth, i.e. how much people will pay for it in the free market. (Value and production cost are two very different things.) But making it available like this while claiming it's worth $6,612 seems naive to me at best.
My favorite feature: a dedication from the developer to fix bugs even on Linuxes they aren't personally running (Arch Linux in this case).

Yeah - what's weird is that it didn't start swapping. I haven't really looked into it, but maybe because so many of the processes were downloading those MP3 files they didn't take up as much memory (although that sounds wrong as I'm pretty sure as far as Apache is concerned, a process is a process regardless of what's being downloaded).

At any rate it worked fine and was maxed at one point so hell knows why. I increased it gradually and was looking at the free memory etc. but it never exhausted it - but ps ax | grep httpd showed circa 200 processes.

I've put it back down to something safer now ;) when I have some spare time I'm going to try and figure out if/why it didn't appear to run out of memory when it looked like it should have.

But then again when I have some spare time I really just want to set up a better hosting environment that doesn't rely so much on apache.
No *chan sites on the list?
I like the design, nice and clean.

I managed to create two lists with the same name, should that be possible!? There was nothing to indicate the browser was saving the first time I clicked so I clicked again and ended up with two!

Also, when I add a new list, the input box overflows outside of the list div.

I really like the idea for this, some social features would be awesome, like sharing your lists publically and groups!

Groups could moderate a list of links for a particular topic, With contributors rating/commenting on whether they find them useful or not.

I remember a HN thread a while back saying there were no good lists of python tutorials around, this could certainly solve this problem!
Well, that would really take a lot of work, to make it good.

There's some commented-out logic in the 'official' Cappuccino plugin for ST, that takes into account the scope and then works backwards to try to figure out what type of object you are messaging.

https://github.com/aparajita/Cappuccino-Sublime

But I think the reason that's commented out is that it is easy to get some parts working, but to do it right you need to analyze the whole code base, with a real parser, be able to follow the map of import/include statements back to know what code elements are actually available in the current scope, etc etc. And that's a lot of work.

Still, there's a lot of value in doing a good job with a simpler kind of completion -- and it is way easier, as long as the editor is extensible to the extent that ST is.

Noobs keep asking for this feature almost daily now and pg kills the post every time, because you're not supposed to ask like this. Feature requests go in the feature requests page at the link in the bottom. Or just upvote the link by gauravgupta, it's on that page.
Half of the mentioned plugins don't even work on the documentation/example pages. Not to be rude, but it's not surprising, with many of these apps being "(Beta)." I already consider most of Facebook's developer products to be Beta, and for them to mark a product as Beta, that can only be a signal to stay very far away.

The problem with SOPA is not so much what it'd accomplish if everyone used it with decent knowledge and in good faith, though there are issues with that too.

The biggest problem is largely what it enables people who act in bad faith or out of downright stupidity to achieve by shifting the burdens of proof and reducing judicial safeguards, while protecting these same people against any significant risks.
Not sure condescending references to 'noobs' is in the spirit of HN. There are other sites to go to if you want to talk like that.

I agree.. HN users are aware of the danger of SOPA. Furthermore- while HN is cool and all its a complete nobody compared to the big services that each average joe knows. Yet exactly those are the ones where blacking out would make any sense at all.

For serious publishing, the usual workflow is that authoring and editing happens in Word, and once the editing is finished the text is imported into software such as Indesign for typesetting.

With Tex-based publishing workflows, authoring and editing is typically done using Latex (in tandem with a Latex-aware text editor, and typesetting phase is carried out with a Tex-based form as well.

An alternative workflow used by several Context-based publishers (Context is an alternative format for Tex, now tied to Luatex) is to use one of several XML-based authoring software and turn the XML document into Context for typesetting.

Yet another example of the tension between scarcity and abundance.

Our economy is based on scarcity. Which means that anything abundant tend to see its price driven down to zero. Making a living by selling such goods as if they were scarce is increasingly difficult. Donations seems to work somewhat, though.

If everything (including food and housing) were abundant, we wouldn't even need money, and making a living out of music, photography, or software wouldn't even be discussed of. But we don't live in that world…

…Yet. The way things are evolving, more and more goods have the potential to be effectively abundant. Especially those who have bounded demand, like food (if I recall correctly, there is already more than enough food to feed the planet, if only it where correctly distributed). Work is being more and more automated, such that even human labour can eventually be made abundant (an especially vivid example is self-driving cars, which can bring down an entire profession). But scarcity isn't going anywhere, so we'd better prepare for a rather long transition.

I see several forms that transition could take. (i) More unemployment, more economic problems, more people starve and freeze despite the availability of food and housing. (ii) Reduction of the hours worked per week, while keeping the salaries up. (iii) Growth of actual wealth (Not of the GDP). (iv) artificial scarcity, driven by old corporation and institutions that just won't die.

I'd like to avoid (i) and (iv), but I'm afraid we already have evidence for them right now (especially (iv), see copyright and patents). I'd like to have (ii), but I'm not aware of any reliable metric about it. The last decades clearly demonstrate (iii), but I'm not sure we have as much as we could have.

Anyway, I'm not satisfied right now: abundance and scarcity clearly don't play well together. If someone has an idea about how we could make them, that could be terrific.

As soon as they have the code required to analyze your code, they aren't small, and as soon as they run that code they aren't fast. OTOH if that's the functionality you want, use eclipse, intellij (or a variant like RubyMine), and buy a beefy computer with an SSD. Eclipse isn't slow on my machine.

I recall having this in 1993 on the OS/2 version of SlickEdit. vim or emacs will handle this no problem.

HN has nothing to lose by blacking out.

Google have advertisers and business to worry about. They also have the G+ vs Facebook battle to be concerned about.

If Google blackout and no one else does then what will people do during the hours Google is down? They would go else where... shareholders and investors would be very unhappy. Especially if you consider these people who pop to Bing may decide they like Bing better.

If Facebook / Google / Yahoo / Bing all went offline from 6-9pm in a rolling blackout across the states on one night. (i.e. blackout by IP based on states timezone.) It would have a massive effect.

Hell, they don't even need to completely blackout. Just randomly black out elements of the page.
