No.

Sorry, but while I like this site your not going to do anything but annoy those of us who agree with the stance.

Simply put, the public in general does not know about HN and the public does not care. This site has little to no impact in that arena.

Now if you want to annoy those of us who agree with the idea of sites noticeable to the public going dark then you will have accomplished that.

Just go with what you know and are comfortable with, and make sure you make it possible to change various parts of your architecture later on.

It's easy to over-think and over-engineer when starting out, and it's usually not that hard to switch to a different DBMS later on or even use a modular architecture that allows you to build different parts of your application in different languages as you go along.

The real danger for you, right now, is that you won't make it to 1.0, not that you'll have to write it all over again from scratch.
The perils of cleantech investing: KiOR & the long term, high risk view
I get all that, my argument is not that Apple are right, just that the commonly used metaphor, as well as being inflammatory, isn't really an accurate reflection of the real situation.

You say as a developer you can't easily ignore one of the most widely used platforms but I've made a very good living as a developer for 20 years without writing a single line of code for iOS as I'd venture have most developers in the world. If I don't like iOS as a developer platform I can write for Windows, or Linux, or Windows Mobile or Windows Phone or Android, or Unix or Symbian or any other of the multitude of platforms.

What you're saying is that you really want access to that market because it's interesting and potentially lucrative but don't like the restrictions.

That's fine but it's not some unavoidable choice, it's just a decision that has to be made. You've decided no and that's great, I respect that, but I don't think it should be made out to be more than it is.

Anyone else confused by Microsoft slithering their way into this press release? I can imagine they find this to be a PR coup, and worked very hard to be a "part" of the announcement - perhaps even paying their way in. I find it ... "classless."
Totally agree, Sublime really comes together when using some plugins and with this plugin it really makes the process of installing / trying or using / updating and removing very simple.
The reason that I ask is that I feel I am getting stuck with C# simply due to the comfort of Intellisense. I have to find some way of replicating that experience with other languages...

I know other languages of course, but it just feels like a hassle to code without Intellisense these days :p

At the moment, they can initially seize pseudo-legally. Then it's a question of being illegal since they can't hold it without cause.

If you want that on the front page, I think it would make it too busy.

I also don't really see its utility in the comment section either--if I'm here, I can either get the information I want from the comments or skim the article. Having a summary would encourage more people to read less articles before commenting; this is something endemic to Slashdot and not a good thing.
I almost skipped this link; I assumed it was typical borring blog noise. It's not.

This is an insightful post from the git mailing list which shows some of the real limitations that a top tier developer hits when trying to write Java code as fast as neatly optimized C code. Definitely worth reading.

The geographic protections are mainly at the top level, i.e. you can't apply for a new gTLD of .unitedkingdom for example. The geographic restrictions are mainly in three parts, you can't apply for 2 ASCII character gTLDs (this in effect protects any potential new countries that come into existence). You can't apply for a gTLD that is either the proper full name or short form name of a country or anything that is confusingly similar, i.e. no .unitedstates. And finally if you want to apply for a name that is a city or region name you need at least a letter of non objection from the constituent governments.

Trademark protections come in three parts. At the top level a trademark holder can object to you applying for a TLD that is an exact match for a trademark they hold in any jurisdiction. There are provision for trademark front running as well here. At the second level registries are required to provide protection for trademark holders both at registry start up (sunrise and landrush) as well as for ongoing operations. The protections during sunrise and landrush are stronger than during ongoing operations.

During sunrise and landrush registries are required to restrict registrations that are an exact match to marks in the trademark clearing house. They are also required to implement the Uniform Rapid Suspension (URS) during sunrise and landrush and the first 60 days of general availability. There is also a requirement for the UDRP for ongoing operations but this is almost exactly the same for other existing gTLDs (ccTLDs are a different matter).

Obviously there are corner cases to the above and there are a large number of details involved. If you want more information a good starting point is the Applicant Guidebook which you can get from this link:

http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/agb

EDIT: added information about UDRP.

From the project page:

The original goal of JGit/EGit was to provide an Eclipse plugin for working with software using the Git SCM. The Eclipse plugin is still the main goal of many of the developers, but we are open to anyone wanting to interface with other tools, Netbeans, Ant, Maven etc. For those, the JGit part provides a high performance API for working with Git repositories. The main other user of JGit, besides EGit, is Gerrit Code Review, which used by projects such as JGit (ofcourse), EGit (by implication) and Android.

Not sure if that provides a very good motivation, but there you go. :)

I find it kind of interesting that in Haskell, which is arguably even higher level than Java, most of these optimisations are eminently possible..

EDIT: This obviously came across a bit as language fanboyism, so I guess I should mention that the language features that let you do many of them let you shoot yourself in the foot just as easily as you can in C, and you can certainly argue that with a strong FFI you might as well just call into C if you really need that kind of low level performance..

>Shock waves from HN being blacked out won't travel to the general public or politicians.

I disagree. If certain big sites (google, facebook) black out then it WILL be covered by the mainstream media. As a result they're bound to publish "lists" of all other sites that have followed suit.

Every single site on these lists, whether Joe Public knows them or not, strengthens our cause.
I think it is a really bad way to gauge community interest on the feature requests page because very few will see it. Not much in the way of features gets added to HN so its only like to happen if pg and co decide it themselves or there is a heap of community interest.
A Depressive Journey With MongoDB
TeX and LaTeX are the standard in some academic fields, and in closely-associated industrial situations. In Math, LaTeX is standard. It is close to that in CS, and pretty close to that in Physics. There are some other academic fields where it has a fan base (I think Linguistics is one.)

The standard alternative is Word.
This looks pretty good. The powerful combination of Free Software, ARM chips and Chinese manufacturing seems to have been ready to go for the last few years but has been held up by culture clash, language barriers and suspicion between the software and hardware manufacturing sides, and the lack of Free Software friendly GPUs.

This could finally be the dam-breaker, particularly if some of the cheap devices (complete tablets/phones etc.) produced by manufacturers uninterested in GPL compliance could still be used because the chip manufacturer is on board and providing the necessary support info.

edit: I was mistaken, the Mali GPU still requires proprietary code for 3D, I'd got it mixed up with the OMAP in my Samsung Galaxy.

"Regarding Software Freedom: the caveat regarding this CPU is that it requires ARM-proprietary libraries for the 3D Graphics (as does virtually every single suitable consumer-grade embedded SoC on the planet with the almost exclusive sole exception of the Ingenic jz4760 and some of the TI ARM Cortex OMAP and Sitara SoCs). However, simply not using the proprietary MALI 3D GPU does not impact any other functionality in any way."

Still one more step in the right direction.

I'm for Internet Freedom laws, too, but I just worry that once we give the Government the power to control the Internet, we're only 2 or 3 Congress cycles away before someone starts tweaking that law in their favor, and start ripping the "Internet liberties" away from the law.

I would be much more confident if it was a Constitution amendment, but not done right away, because I don't trust the current generation of politicians with it, but maybe sometime by the end of the decade.

I was doing it in GF(2^32-5). Your statement is true for GF(2^n) where n is small enough to keep the entire multiplication-table in memory (usually n <= 8). When it's bigger you keep log-tables in memory then sign matters. However when n=16 you get lucky and can use char as an unsigned 16 bit int.

> When communicating, there isn't any reason to use a potentially offensive word

Unless you want to offend. You might want to offend to signal the intensity of your rage. Minor range can warrant words like idiotic or stupid, major range calls for words like "fucking retarded git"

> The OP uses the word "retarded" by saying "let's not be retarded". My state of retardation doesn't change from second to second; it's fixed at birth. Insulting what one can't change is the most powerful type of insult. If you call me "stupid", I can always work to be less ignorant. If you call me a "chink" because I'm Chinese, I can't change that, and I feel more insulted.

Unless you really are retarded, he clearly meant that you shouldn't behave like somebody who is mentally disabled, so I don't see the similarity to the word "chink".

Ask HN: Judge a company by their chosen language?
Specialized language = knowledgeable company?

or

language = simply a tool?
Not quite.

The actual reason is that we have invented radio technology only very recently. Because we are so new to the technology, odds are that our communication partner has had radio for much longer than we have (millions of years probably, given the age of the universe), and thus is far more advanced.

This logical step requires a few assumptions. First is that societies don't destroy themselves soon after the advent of nuclear weapons, which would limit them to a very short window of radio capability (measured in hundreds or thousands of years).

The second assumption is that other forms of intelligence progress their technology at a similar rate to that at which we progress ours.

If the former assumption is wrong, it's extremely unlikely that we will ever talk to any intelligence, even with relatively plentiful life in the universe, because it will kill itself too fast. The latter assumption could still be wrong though, particularly if the method used for interstellar radio communication was in any way evolutionarily derived.

This is my understanding of the topic at least.
