What is it that you do not understand about freedom?
You're comparing interactive art to painting, which is a flawed analogy. This isn't about cheap, or free, and it's only cursory about freedom. It's about that in order to curate digital history, you have to be able to redistribute it, and to be able to keep the software running.

Wrong, legally you can't do anything with the content. You can't modify and you can't redistribute it or anything. You're gonna exist in a legal grey zone in which ID has the right to sue you at any time, this is not good.
Erm, actually it's not "single-issue voting." There is a whole host of bad legislation that is very invasive of personal liberty in the US, not just TSA. A good example would also be the recent SOPA/PIPA legislation. All those things need to be voted down, not just one of them.
However not for legally sound derivation.
It's not just that, I think Clear Channel caused the true demise of radio. They own practically every radio station in the US and so there's been a massive homogenization of playlists across radio stations. College stations offer a small respite from the dreary same-ness that is corporate radio, but the stations near me don't have that much power so they only cover a small physical area and the more interesting shows aren't on during commute times.

For me, commercials are also a large issue--with TV I have a DVR and my browser has an ad-blocker, so I'm just not used to listening to commercials. They tend to start aggravating me after a very short time (10 seconds or so).

Those are the reasons I don't listen to the radio any more.

Sounds to me like it comes with a raft of legal and practical troubles. Say company A has licensed a copy of this software and made some modifications. They cannot publish these modifications for general consumption (eg. on Github or similar), so it's not really obvious how anyone will ever know they have this potentially useful code. If some other company B somehow did find out that they did have it and come to A asking for them to share their code, A don't know that they're legally allowed to give it to B because they aren't the licensor.

Also, I disagree with your stance that the GPL "entirely upends" the possibility of making money off licensing software. Trolltech were (until they were bought by Nokia) an example to the contrary; Qt was dual-licensed under the QPL and GPL for years and they were obviously making money out of all the companies that didn't want to have to GPL their product.

Finally, it's not really clear to me that anyone really wants this model; there are companies (like iD) who are keen to open source at least some of their software. Many other companies are not interested in releasing any at all. It's not at all obvious to me that there is some sort of middle ground of companies who want to release their changes but only to other companies who have licensed the same software, thus forgoing the whole feel-good factor of open source, arguably much of the point of it and certainly the entire Free Software angle.

I suggest you to use Tcl, and I think I'm not biased since for instance the Redis unit test is written in Tcl but I'm using Lua as scripting language for Redis.

But as a language, Tcl will allow you to experiment a completely different way of thinking. Lua is neat but not so different from what you already know.

My university actually requires that I publish my dissertation through a particular electronic publishing agency (UMI/ProQuest), who would like to put it behind a paywall. I have to pay an additional $95 fee to make my dissertation "Open Access".

2. "Have to" offer support for Linux to maintain brand image - very hard

good example of this is with HoN (Heroes of Newerth) where I believe the guy that looked after the Linux port left, leaving S2 having to outsource all their updates every week. The community is fairly good at hacking their way round day to day issues, but it's far hassle free and I'm sure is costing S2 more money than it's making them.
Ok, but surely they have the same problem then?

Hey, thanks for the reply, I do see your point now--I thought you were referring to the usual case of importing modules. It's true that Python modules aren't implemented in terms of dicts or lists and that Python is a larger language than Lua, so I think I completely agree with the point you were making. :)

For future reference, I'd implement your dynamic module importer like this:

def dynamic_import(name):
import imp
return imp.load_module(name, *import.find_module(name))

os = dynamic_import("os")
That one got blacklisted for some reason - It was on the front page, then disappeared, and when it came back a couple of hours later it was 5-6 pages deep. Not sure what happened (some sort of glitch, maybe?), so I resubmitted.

Hope it doesn't annoy anyone too much, but a lot of people on HN have been asking about when it's going to be released, so I thought I'd have another try at getting it out there.
This is oddly opportunistic timing.
Ex.FM: Discover & Share New Music For Free
In Texas, my friends thought nothing of pulling off to the side of the road at a BBQ pit and eating beef off of Styrofoam plates in a rickety shack where we brought our own beer. I couldn't imagine doing that anywhere north of D.C.

That sounds awesome. What's that kind of eatery called? :)
> "...you need very little marketing... development time is quicker..."

I disagree with this. There's still quite a bit of effort involved marketing if you've not already got credibility/contacts/attention from something previous. Development time may be quicker in general but if you want to craft something unique I expect you still have to spend time on it.

Agree with the rest of your points though.

I guess. Though that's easily fixed by a simple comment (both functions would be documented if this was production code, and in clojure if you're in the repl you can just do (doc func) to get its documentation). Or you can always unroll the loop.
Cool!

I am assuming last.fm has an API and/or is scrapeable without having to log in? Neither is typically true for dating sites.

Am I the only one who doesn't get excited about the idea of absolutely everything being a file?

People seem to like the idea of being able to say things like "cat file.wav > /dev/dsp". But a sound card is a complex thing that can be configured in umpteen different ways; what if the file has a different sample rate than the card is currently running at? Even if you gerry-rigged a kernel driver that could handle this case (by, for example, noticing when the file had been open()'d and expecting the next bytes to be a WAV header, which it uses to reconfigure the card), you're left with something that doesn't have even the most basic functionality that you'd expect from a sound player; for example, "pause."

So what has representing /dev/dsp as a file really bought you? It doesn't help you know what devices are available, because there's tons of crap in /dev that doesn't necessarily have a kernel driver loaded for it. It's not that useful as an end-user interface for selecting a sound card, because users don't want to choose between /dev/dsp and /dev/dsp2, they want to see nice names like "Internal Speaker" or "Apogee Duet."

Files give you a simple API for lots of common operations, which is nice, but the fact that all files are not created equal means that operations sometimes don't work like you expect. For example, how would you guess that "tail -f" is implemented? If you're like me, you would have expected that it works by calling poll/select/etc. and waiting for the file to become read-ready. But this approach doesn't actually work for monitoring growing files; the select() will just return immediately with read-ready even if you're at EOF. So what "tail -f" actually does is a loop that alternates between sleep() and fstat(). I'm serious! http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=blob;f...
Magento Development – Ideal Open Source Language for Ecommerce Website

JVM Host - Memory usage comparison of Java Application Servers and Applications
To give you an estimate of how many memory related resources you will need to run a Java application server or a Java application within Java Virtual Machine we tested some popular ones and are publishing results below. The survey will be updated as needed. As you start to access your application the memory usage will grow as dynamically created objects will be allocating memory from heap, classes previously unloaded can be loaded again and native code compilation may be taking place. The application servers are in pristine and idle state - installed and started within a JVM with JMX support. The same approach has been applied to applications. You can see high non-heap PermGen memory usage when you have number of classes loaded for example with a comprehensive framework like Grails. In such cases PermGen JVM limit tuning may be necessary (for example -XX:MaxPermSize=96m added to $JAVA_OPTS environment variable). At JVM Host we can change MaxPermSize on request...
I agree. I'm a co-founder with a start-up that just joined a prominent accelerator, and we do two of the five things listed: book-swapping and daily deals. While my opinion may be slightly biased about book-swapping because of that, I have done a ton of research into the market and there is definitely a market-pull for something that allows simple, intuitive book-swaps. Obviously, it has to be safer and simpler (or at a decent fiscal advantage) compared to craigslist, ebay, amazon etc, but I think that it is do-able with the right business model, team, swapping algorithms...

You often hear about this idea (and maybe the other 4 as well, but I can't say from personal expertise) because there IS a need for a service like this and entrepreneurs know that. But I see two main problems that keep these book-swap start-ups from succeeding, and keep these ideas from going away.

First, there's a TON of variation in the way you can setup this business model. There are dozens of different ways to make your money, a handful of drastically different customers you can try and target, and endless ways to setup/code the swapping process. Not every solution will be successful; most will be unsuccessful.

Second, I don't think this idea works as a stand-alone product for a start-up because of a handful of factors. One such example: book swapping "season" (start & end of semesters) only occurs a few times a year. For a start-up with cash flow like that (or none), each "book season" is going to be swinging for the fences, after months of work, and hoping you can grab the attention of the market during the only few weeks they might care about your product.

Sorry if I was vague at times, I didn't wanna get into details.
P4P: A Syntax Proposal (for Racket)
The rc example is worse than the first of yours. I hate the zsh special syntax in the second: it violates a deeply ingrained code feel I have about the syntax of shell code. The do ... done syntax helps the eye.

rc really shines when you have problems that in bash or zsh would suggest using multiple layers of expansion. The semantics of rc's expansion is much less thorny.

I prefer real examples - here, why not just write

seq 1 100

- what is the loop for? And shell loops can frequently (always, if you are willing to write helper scripts) be replaced with xargs, which tends to be very much faster, e.g.

seq 1 100 | xargs echo

(which doesn't quite give the same output, but passing -n1 to xargs fixes that)

"Apple’s executives had estimated that about 8,700 industrial engineers were needed to oversee and guide the 200,000 assembly-line workers"

"Mr. Saragoza, an engineer, quickly moved up the plant’s ranks and joined an elite diagnostic team. His salary climbed to $50,000. He and his wife had three children. They bought a home with a pool."

"The worker, Lina Lin, is a project manager in Shenzhen, China"

"Mrs. Lin earns a bit less than what Mr. Saragoza was paid by Apple ... She and her husband put a quarter of their salaries in the bank every month."
I was thinking the same thing. I know prison isn't a wonderful place to be. But I think dotcom would be stoked with a 4-10month sentence.

Why would they want to do music videos? A music video is just an add, which just happens to cost more than the product to produce, and is entertaining enough that people actually watch them. People watch informercials too.

Nobody buys their favorite music video (unless it's The Wall). They buy the CD, because all they really care about is the music.
I came off as harsh, it was entertaining. But after five or so paragraphs of the introduction I was thinking "Ok, I am thoroughly entertained! But maybe there isn't enough content buried in the entertainment?"

Don't get me wrong, I love being entertained. But it's a delicate balancing act and, I guess, the balance is different for every reader and even for the same reader on different occasions :)

Wow. This is has probably been one of the most corrupt legal processes Western Europe has seen since WWII. Unbelievable how a foreign industry has made a complete mockery out of the justice system of a sovereign nation.

The damages alone are an insult. Yeah, let's not look at actual damages, let's just use Hollywood fictional bookkeeping.

Today also happens to be the day I've lost access to the Pirate Bay through my ISP because a corrupt judge decided Hollywood profits trump my civil liberties.

It is so very depressing to see how Hollywood has completely corrupted our legal and political systems to the point were civil liberties are being gutted. This can no longer be tolerated.
That would be the worst response. For the justice system they are now low-profile, minor white-collar thieves, it's all just a bunch of paperwork and bribes, with a bit of lawyering they probably won't even do time. Once they start absconding, they become fugitives and show up on all the wrong radars. Offenses start piling up automatically, and unless they manage to run to Santo Domingo (which would involve more felonies), they will be caught and sent away for years, not months.

English car insurance, especially for young men, is expensive. A 22 year old programmer driving a 1996 Honda Civic 15,000 miles a year for social and commuting to work would be paying about £950 if they shopped around but could be paying over £1,500 if they weren't careful. (That's fully comprehensive. And it's for a small town population 100,000)

£950 = $1497 = €1146
With the ludicrous patent wars going on among the biggest tech players, increasing piracy and ever-increasing cases of countries bending over backwards to placate entertainment industries; the whole Intellectual Property paradigm is ripe for disruption. The sad part is that the prevalent political practices will make it very difficult to come to a reasonable solution, a point of stable equilibrium. Consumer advocacy and freedom rights' groups have a very feeble voice right now and this issue will take a lot of activism and rationality from the common folk before it can reach a sane conclusion. I only hope issue doesn't undo the leaps humanity took when internet was invented (and I'm not exaggerating)!

Disclaimer: lead developer on OpenPhoto providing some clarification.

That's sort of the point though. $2/month is cheap but the actual cost is the 4 years you probably spent uploading and tagging photos only to have the service die.

Your options are continue using a service you don't like for a great price or start using something else and leave behind the 4 years of organization (which you need with 8,000 photos).

It's kinda like the free hit crack dealers give out. In the end it's not worth it. Trust me, I've been there in a previous life.
