Note, the words "Introvert" and "Extrovert" should die. It's like talking about "fatties" and "anorexics". Most people are normal. Introversion (or it's opposite, extroversion) is more or less normally distributed, unlike the bimodal distribution suggested by using polar terms.

"Male" and "Female" are examples of bimodal attributes, for which it can be pragmatic to pretend there's only two extremes. Even then, the folk who don't fit so well in either category warrant a special mention.

Spare a thought for the normal people who don't have 200 real friends (and 20,000 Facebook friends); or live alone in their mother's basement. (Not that introverts necessarily have no friends, which is a whole new can of misconceptions brought on by Myers-Briggs, as explained by Cosmopolitan in the mid-80s).
If Megaupload were to win the case, get their domain/money/etc. back, would they be able to seek compensation?

I don't know if they have any chance of winning, but if they did I can't imagine their being able to rescue the company - even if they did, they surely wouldn't have a hard time showing how much damage the downtime did to them financially. What options would they have?
This sort of story would only ever appear in The Sun or The Daily Mail. Higher brow intelectual newspapers wouldn't touch it because it wouldn't fit with their agenda or readership and would also be seen to be very unpolitically correct.
Poll: Can you code after a gym workout?
After http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3527192 there seemed to be a lot of opposing accounts on whether you can code after a workout or not.

It's interesting to get some stats about that. Myself I can't seem to get in the zone after an intense workout session.
If you prefer to have your VPS shielded behind a heavy firewall, why not. But in case you ever intend to do outgoing calls from the server on ports other then the default (80, 443, ...), prepare yourself to do some wrestling with the support and have the IPs of the hosts you want to connect ready. And it /will/ take some time. That's just one of the issues I had to repeatedly deal with. (Consuming some foreign service).

Learning hack I've found very effective (not that it is very original, but I was surprised how effective this is) - study with others, each of you should try to explain what you read to the others, and argue about what it means, why others got it wrong, etc.

For me it's best motivation to try hard to understand something, when I can show off shortly after :) And it gives immediate feedback - if you can't explain something, you don't really understand it. And when a few people are learning together, they find most of the patterns quickly, and it makes learing the rest easier.
Wow, just wow! Is this story real? If so, shame on US authorities.

I knew a version from Voltaire which goes like this: "give me one sentence from anyone and I'll have him hanged."

Of course if it comes from Richelieu it's more interesting since he actually could have people hanged, their castles destroyed, their properties confiscated, etc.

I agree that you should be writing code and not managing servers, but in my limited experience PaaS only replaces managing servers with learning the platform's APIs, learning idioms specific to that platform and working your way out of the lack of libraries you are accustomed to.

A lot of programmer overhead.
Bored of this story now.
DNS often being the slowest link in the perf chain, adding another set of (recursive) queries to a cold HTTP request is asking for too much. This could mean up to a second more lag for transcontinental links.

And for what gain? Now we can host our httpd on random ports, which for some reason we managed to not need for the past 20 years.

Correct, there is no indication of that. I would be really happy to see if Facebook/twitter reject FBI's request. I was just hypothesizing that in the event that FBI is granted scrapping access, they should give similar access to other bots (or even Google to download contacts?).
The ideal situation would be that FBI is not granted access.

This probably isn't, of itself, worthy of HN, but it made me wonder - is there any mileage in having a site that gathers together these sorts of links?

There are zillions of "amusing" sites out there, perhaps they in turn need a meta-index. It just feels to me that there is a market here for a sensible, reasonable site that has stuff that's more interesting than the usual stuff people tout as "OMG!!! FUNNIEST PICTURE EVER !!!11"

Why companies need to experiment more
The article isn't completely accurate in that it states that you need to build your application in a certain way in order to host it on Heroku, which isn't true. I just don't see Heroku in same category as something like GAE.

Heroku places no requirements on your code that you wouldn't find through general best practise when building scalable applications. A lot of people will cite the read-only filesystem as a special requirement (which requires S3 or similar), but this is a common requirement with clustered systems. Yes you might have a local SAN that you can use as a local filesystem but the point is the same.

With the multiple applications I've deployed to Heroku I don't think any would not run on a 'regular' VPS as is. There's no Heroku specific code in there period. In fact, if I have changed my approach to better suit hosting on Heroku, it's generally been changing it to a better approach that would suit all types of hosting.
Handy Information on Medical Marijuana Laws
Medical marijuana is legalized in many countries of the world such as Germany, Canada, Spain, Italy, Finland, Israel, Austria and Netherlands. Although this natural drug is classified as Schedule I drug under the federal laws of United Sates, however, 16 States of U.S have recognized the medicinal value of marijuana and passed medical marijuana laws in order to control and regulate its distribution in their states and help those patients who actually need this medicine to enhance their medical conditions.
Ask HN: Why you can't follow Organizations on GitHub?
I am always at odds with this because I find myself talking about our freedoms being taken away while I think back on my grandfather and what he went through. Gay people are even getting closer to the vast majority accepting them and possibly marriage (depending on the supreme court). This country was built with women and blacks having no true freedom. That does not mean I am not appalled at what is happening now, but what should we go back to? People constantly mention "freedom" like everybody in this country always had it. The government is just finding ways to do what it has always done, which no includes technology. The main difference is that the internet lets us know without a short time-span.

I do hope that we can make a better future, but it is not like the past was the greatest thing either.
The thing is, the price difference between this and a vps is too dramatic. For example, I can get a Lunarpages basic hosting, with "Unlimited" Bandwidth and "Unlimited" Storage for $4.99/mo with support for rails apps and python (not django however). Not to mention a free domain name.

However the cheapest linode vps is $19.99/mo.

I would LOVE to have a vps to play around on, I would have so much use for it and yet I'm a student living in London and all my money goes towards the cost of living. It makes much more sense for me to go with the cheaper shared hosting as I just can't afford anything more.

As an aside, I found http://virpus.com/ the other day and they are selling vps's starting at $3/mo. Does anyone have any experience at all with them?

Because AWS's prices have to be more expensive in order to offer the huge increase in flexibility and instant scalability that you don't get with these cheaper VPSs.

If you mean links of interesting stuff not just Google Maps/Earth stuff, then.. perhaps Reddit (or a subreddit)?

I get you. I used to think it's boring too. No wait, I still think it's boring.

I mean, you're just standing/sitting there, pumping weights going through the repetitive movements. It's absolutely mindnumbing, boring, and you can't help but going through every single other thing you'd rather be doing with your time.

Right?

My solution is audiobooks.

I usually pick a book that's already a favourite, that I've read once or twice (because it's different than reading, if your attention drifts for a moment, you miss a bit--so pick a book you already know but enjoy re-reading so you don't have to rewind all the time).

Also get some good earphones because sometimes the music in the gym can be loud. For running I have those things that clip behind your ear, but in the gym those plugs that actually go in your ear might be best for shutting out the music (get cheap ones from a dollar store/K-mart type of place, you're not getting them for sound quality and I wouldn't spend much on something that's going to get crudded with earwax real quick).

You can also try podcasts. I find that because they're usually in a bit more loose/radio DJ/interview style, it's no problem if you miss the occasional bit, because people talk quite redundantly in general, unlike a book where every sentence counts.
Your comment has the same balance and factual content as an editorial in the Sun.
I can't vouch for it, but Sublime does have a port of org-mode: https://bitbucket.org/rchl/sublime_orgmode/overview

Might be worth a try.
Only tftp is widely supported by embedded ROMs, for netboot or for loading a new firmware for embedded devices with broken OS images.

It's not a matter of getting TCP running. You'd need a basic http transfer client, too. Not many network bootloaders or firmware loaders support anything other than tftp.

iPXE supports http. Get iPXE into embedded bootloaders for new firmware loading, and into network device ROMs for network booting, and then people can switch. Until then, it's tftp because that's what everyone supports.
I am a former user of both TextMate and Sublime Text.

The TextMate story everybody knows, it was good at first but got stale with no updates. I feel Sublime Text is fantastic, but after reading some article on Janus (https://github.com/carlhuda/janus) I switched over to MacVim.

After fiddling around with Vim for a while I can honestly say I'll need some serious convincing to switch to another editor. I've always stayed away from Vim except through occasional need for text editing through SSH or something, because out of the box it doesn't feel quite right. But after Janus sets up some sane defaults it feels great, and after putting a few hours in to learn all the shortcuts and study plugins I have never felt as productive.

I feel like Janus is sort of training wheels though cause it has a lot of plugins I don't use etc, but it's great to start and as I use Vim more I reckon I will start to manage my own .vimrc.

P.S., bcvi is so awesome.

I also inquired at Tilera and they were very quick to respond and very helpful, answering questions over email and over the phone (I had multiple phone conversations with one of the guys on this page: http://www.tilera.com/about_tilera/management I won't say who though). It may have helped that I was inquiring on behalf of the telecoms company I worked for at the time.

I was inquiring about their 64 core PCIe cards (this was a few years ago, before they had 100 core ones). From what I understood, they run (or at least, can run) Linux and most things will run just fine with a recompile (though obviously not making the best use of the available cores). They also said that their team would help port our software (which was a mixture of highly multi-threaded Java and C++) as part of the development kit cost. I think the devkit cost ten to twenty K US$ (I don't remember the exact number) and the individual cards cost between about 2K and 10K depending on the specs and quantity ordered.

Unfortunately, I don't really remember the technical details any more. I do remember that they would have been a great fit for what we were doing (processing SMS messages, each one can be easily processed in parallel with only a small bit of shared state), but my boss pulled the plug because we managed to reach our performance goals with commodity hardware while I was still talking to Tilera.
