> if you mean that it is possible to "blast satellites out of space", then yes, it is true

No I meant the story about the hackers. No doubt about it that the nations could (and would) blast their satellites out of space. I wonder how these hackers can be so stupid to even think about such a crazy idea.
I still like that there is no un-friended application in facebook because I can still remove the people who are not really my friends but a mere acquaintance and they will not see that I have un-friended them.
You know what's annoying as hell? Climate control buttons so it takes either a ton of taps in succession to drastically change the temperature or one tap-and-hold. In my older Infiniti it has buttons to change the temperature and it's incredibly annoying. The next model year they changed it back to a knob because customers complained so much.

I wonder what Tesla did to make this a better user experience. I'm guessing: nothing.
Just by the mere fact that these are constants documented to be in seconds, it's clear that they shouldn't be used for sensitive or precise time calculations. If you're at the point where you don't realize this, you probably aren't going to be able to use a full-featured time library correctly, either.

"Difficult for novices to use incorrectly" is a good feature for code to have, but it's not the highest good, and its absence does not mean that the code is bad.

"I don't see any reasons for people not buying electric cars."

Almost all of my car journeys are from Edinburgh to various random locations in the Scottish Highlands to go skiing/cycling/walking - usually from 200 to 400 miles for the round trip - often parking in fairly remote spots. I just don't see an electric car being a sensible choice for our family any time soon.
As someone that's just crossed a year or Ruby/Rails learning, having scaled the majority of the now massively steep learning curve, I'll stick with the complexity that is Rails.

Mobile Phone Data Reveals Human Reproductive Strategies
It seems like you keep looking at this idea from the perspective of what you can do with all the data you can potentially gather, but you need to solve what's going to motivate people to give you a single piece of data.
Personally I don't think it makes sense to build in redundancy if you're using Heroku, maybe a fallback to a simple offsite "we're down page" but that's it.

My reasoning is that if you are on Heroku you should be small and leveraging Heroku's management to the fullest. If you are big you are paying an incredible premium to be on Heroku (thought experiment: when does the premium start costing more than a full-time systems engineer). There is no Heroku equivalent from another company, at least nothing that's really turnkey in the same way, so if you build redundancy you're throwing away the benefit of Heroku's PaaS.

So in my mind if you need redundancy you need to be building your own system stack. Whether it's co-located, dedicated, or cloud-based is a separate issue because it's more or less commoditized. You build your system on a portable platform and then redundancy is just a proportional amount of extra work.
Padrino is great for small apps but for medium to big projects I much prefer go the rails way and remove the parts I don't need.

You can remove the big rails modules if you don't need them (activesupport, activemailer, activerecord,. ..) but also the rack middlewares.
I think the secret is dedicated server costs can only come down so far but VPS prices should get better and better for even better hardware as time goes by.

$50/mo can get you a 4-core raid10 xen VPS which is plenty powerful and almost as flexible as dedicated.
I disagree that it is "huge" that flock() is missing; if you are relying on advisory (emphasis on advisory) file and record locking to implement coherence, then your architecture is likely an accident waiting to happen -- it's a highly problematic interface for many reasons. Of course, if you really need it, use fs-ext as Isaac mentioned -- NS more generally, if you need some system functionality that isn't present in core, develop an add-on and knock yourself out. It's not entirely pleasant, of course -- but don't pretend that an interface not being in core means that some bit of system functionality is somehow off limits...
Padrino supports the following ORMs out of the box: mongoid, activerecord, datamapper, couchrest, mongomatic, ohm, ripple, sequel. Take a look here: http://www.padrinorb.com/guides/generators

Padrino is just a Sinatra app with a very basic skeleton and some added functionality. Almost all the pieces are modular and doesn't have many requirements from the start.

First, this kind of comment about the appearance of a website should be done by asking directly and nicely to the author. For example you can easily direct message him on twitter instead of polluting the HN comment thread which should always contain useful and informative comment.

Second. I can read them pretty nicely on my computer. It is clear a lot of work was made to make this website very nice. Your comment is a bit harsh.

Third, you are on HN, you should know how to read the code without being angry.

The only thing I've discovered about the discover feature is that I care very little for the things that the majority of people are tweeting about.

Not that I don't think it has promise. Once that feature is targeted more than just geographically (I'm guessing it is from the content) and has some sort of Googlesque awareness of my personal leanings then it might be extremely useful.

For the moment though I couldn't give two hoots about what it appears to be filled with, sports, celebrities or #banalMemeOfTheDay

Meal 4: 1 cup Cottage Cheese

So for dinner I'm having 1 cup of cottage cheese? Not very original, how about an actual cooked meal?
I love the idea. No unnecessary crud, simple, clean. What's not to love?

It's the practice that I'm having problems with. Medium-large projects have tendency to actually use big part of the bag of tricks Rails provides.

But smaller ones, where Padrino should shine... it doesn't. When running one or two server processes, I don't care that it consumes 30MB more RAM than it should, or renders take two milliseconds longer than they could. If I did, I would use something else instead of ruby. However, when I actually try to use that one neat feature, only to remember that it's Rails-specific, or find out that this gem I'm not familiar with has documentation only as far as Rails-integration is concerned, that's a real and measurable dip in my productivity.

These small projects are usually weekend hacks where I would rather not spend time writing boilerplate I know can be replaced by one line by that other framework, or digging through sources of a library before I can start using it. It gets very tempting to just throw in the whole Rails stack and focus on the interesting bits.

These problems could be alleviated by more widespread use of other Ruby web frameworks (and I do wish they gain more traction!). But right now, my laziness keeps me from 'being part of the solution'.

"High trees catch lots of wind" (Dutch proverb)

"it" manifests itself differently for Apple. Apple, not being in the content hosting as much as Google, gets attacked on its environmental (Greenpeace) and its social (Foxconn reports) stances, not necessarily because it is behaving badly relative to its peers, but also because it is a more visible target.
I have the feeling you misunderstood the problem with magic. In fact, having a function calling shell command is ok. The problem is to know, from reading the code, where it comes from. In python there is this idea of transparency, the determinism, which is with it feels enlightening, like in the docs cartoon. Anything obscuring that is said to be unpythonic.

They took samples from 10 years worth of email received and split them into three posters: Positive, negative and neutral. They are all good, but the headline for the 'negative' poster is an absolute classic ...
Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I think that you raise some valid points here.

Regarding "If you are big you are paying an incredible premium to be on Heroku": Sure, Heroku is great (or cheap) for development and small-time deployment, however it is likely true that people get locked into it and (hopefully) grow quickly before they can scale away from a PaaS solution. In these cases, it is imperative to consider the marginal cost of alternative/off-site failover vs. the cost of downtime. This is what I meant by "separate the men from the boys". Those guys who are paying the incredible premium to continue to host on Heroku likely -know- that they are doing so, and have made that decision consciously.

While the situation is different, I am reminded of when AWS went down awhile back and the sites that had automated failover to alternative clouds really stood out.

The bottom line is that no one solution is ever enough. Tiny apps can likely get away with unexpected//unplanned downtime, however it ultimately delegitimizes them in the eyes of their users (read: customers), and that is universally bad.

> she walked over to one and pointed to the monitor and keyboard saying, "I think I need one of these, and one of those...." She then pointed to the CPU and continued, "...but I don't think I need one of those."

So a website making fun of people who were confused whether the keyboard (like with Commodore) or the monitor (like with Apple) actually contained the computer, calls the case the "CPU"?
It's generally good practice to run your monitoring website from a different datacenter (or at least a different server).
Teaching is a skill, just like anything else in this world. You can be a natural at it or have no innate talent at it, but if you want to get better, you will. The teachers everyone remembers are experts both at their subject and at teaching. It's very, very hard to be an excellent teacher.

I don't know Jim and Joe's background, but (knowingly or not) they've hit on one of the most tried-and-true teaching skills for working with a group of students with mixed skill levels: peer instruction. The advanced students are forced to really push the boundries of their knowledge to explain the material, while the weaker students get a second (and lower pressure) presenation of the material, often with a different approach. If you know nothing else about teaching, this is probably one of the best techniques to keep in your back pocket.

Lead Generation
Lead Generation is a marketing term that refers to identifying interest among prospective customers about your product /services. It is the first step towards customer acquisition. Lead Generation helps in bringing more business to organization thereby resulting in high Return on Investment.

Estiron offers Lead Generation services in every possible manner. Some of the techniques which are used for Lead Generation are Telemarketing/Product Promotion, Market Surveys and Appointment Setting with prospective buyers. In these services agents directly call customers, educate them about the product and understand their interest in the same.

Lead Generation can also be carried out through internet marketing. Here our specialized Search Engine Optimization (SEO) team helps to bring your website to the top of Search Engines such as Google, Yahoo etc. This in turn brings more traffic to your website which in turn converts to “paying customers”.
Researchers boycott publisher; will they embrace instant publishing?
Only solution is to become famous or have someone famous take on your cause.

This has been the case with Google forever(and discussed on HN multiple times), you get customer support if you are notable or raise a big enough stink.

Reason Google does it, is because they are not a customer centric company, they are engineer driven company(or at least used to be, what they are now is an open question). They save serious amount of money by not having human employees evaluate each AdSense account on case by case basis.

Just don't put all your eggs in Google basket is all I can say.

BSD is in a position to differentiate in a way that Linux just isn't. In Linux all* software is third party, except for the kernel and util-linux (and maybe fileutuls or some other set of GNU software).

To me the BSD distinction doesn't make much sense anyway. You still have to just know which bits are "local" and which are not, plus anything I pull in that isn't a port gets lumped in with them anyway.
Don't want to be too harsh, but why would people use this over Twitter or FB status updates? I think the biggest weakness here is that the other users are people I have no connection to whatsoever. What was your reasoning that this would take off, and was there any niche you had in mind?
I'm not sure that's 100% accurate.

"sunk costs are retrospective (past) costs that have already been incurred and cannot be recovered", says Wikipedia. However, investment in Rails can be "recovered", because it's a useful, marketable skill. Switching to something else will incur costs as well, so the benefits would need to be both high and certain to really make it a 'sunk cost fallacy', no?
The Future Of Screen Typography Is In Your Hands
This is an impossible-to-answer question. I do NOT speak for the Blekko company, but while they are small and making $100,000s or millions it is easy to say "We are free, no spying!" (same for DDG).

As soon as you take Blekko public and they are making BILLIONS and beholden to stock holders, they won't have a choice but to slowly roll that back just like we are seeing with Google.

The market won't let Google stay ambivalent; not with all that potential for profit.
http://Assembla.com offers this in the form of a StandUp report which provides a simple web-based form that you fill our for what you did last day/week, what you will do today/this week, any questions or road blocks that need to be addressed.

We use them daily to ensure that everyone is working on the correct priorities and to see if anyone has any roadblocks or questions that someone on the team can help with. Some companies do them once or twice a week. Either way, its a great way to simply know who is working on what and who needs help. These standup reports are part of the Assembla workspaces but they also offer them as a free standalone tool at http://offers.assembla.com/standup
I think in the past the 'Don't be evil' thing as an informal company ethos was ok, and people respected that as a target. Then they started using this as a stick to beat their competitors with and it had the result of putting their own conduct under greater scrutiny. Now with the SPYW stuff, they look pretty hypocritical and appear to have abandoned their principals in order to play catch up. They might not be evil yet but the trajectory they're on isn't promising.

It might decrease piracy but a 24 hour delay is still not what I would consider a 'simultaneous' release in Internet time. People want to watch shows as soon as possible and participate in discussions about the latest episode and a lot of people turn to the internet to do that. A 24 hour delay will still make them feel left out.

That being said I really welcome the move to reduce the time between US TV debut and iTunes release and hope that the time gets reduced further in the future.
It's also unfair to imply a subsidy. Without a market of buyers the seller would end up continuing to use the vehicle or writing off even more of the cost.
