Thanks for this post Bubs. People always ask how can I/they do startups and be a good Dad/Mom/Parent. The flexible nature of our work is key. I can still put in more time than these young Founders and not miss (too often) my most important meetings with my two little angel investors - my kids.
You really shouldn't be using terms like "regular gcc" or "real gcc", they don't mean what you seem to think they do. GCC is a modular system specifically to provide for things like LLVM-GCC. LLVM-GCC takes the same form as other GCC back-ends for other platforms. i386 has a GCC backend, ARM has a GCC backend, IA64, MIPS, SPARC... Which of these do you nominate to be "real gcc"?

The only measure by which llvm-gcc is not "real" is that it's not included in the core gcc distribution.
Ward Cunningham at #nodepdx
I remember a terrible experience trying to get gfortran working on osx. I ended up permanently borking my glibc. If this doesn't use the real gcc I imagine similar experiences may await. Nonetheless that is much better than downloading xcode just for GCC.
Thanks! No, I think I'll start writing something new (hopefully more useful).
An interesting result from Googling "Operation Ajax":

I always thougt companies like Uber were really positioning themselves and building the tech necessary for when this inevitably happens.

Right now they need humans to drive their cars around but as soon as they can they will surely shift to automated cars. If they've already built the scheduling systems necessary they'll be able to combine that with the mindshare they've been building and be in a great position.
Let's say he described this new fun activity of using pipes to route water around a building, and then using valves so that you could turn it on and off, and have it pop out of one pipe, get caught in a big bowl, and then go swirling down another pipe.

You would immediately recognize that he was talking about something the profession called 'plumbing' does every day. And while there are amateur plumbers, there are also many many professional ones.

Pretending you are something you are not, in order to gain the confidence of someone so that they will treat you in a way you would like to be treated, is a game of confidence. And some people do this to convince someone else to go out with them on a date, some do it for the 'lulz', and some do it to make a living,

Our intrepid author has 'tricked' people into thinking he belongs at a swank party and has 'robbed' the party of drinks and snacks. He talks about the thrill of getting away with it. And it is a huge thrill. But like plumbing the spectrum of 'con artist' goes from very small (taking candy from babies) to very large (taking millions from corporations). He tells himself its not really stealing (and the rationalizations are fine, there probably is more waste in the system than he is consuming) but he is making people believe something that is false.

My word of caution is that people who are very successful are often quite ruthlessly competitive, and finding out that they had been tricked into believing something that wasn't true, often gets translated into 'losing out'. That can trigger their competitive streak, and that can get your knees broken. Same is true for para-gliding or free-style rock climbing. Not good or bad, just is.
Is bipolar depression the same as clinical depression? Are there actually many different things currently lumped under depression? I honestly don't know, but I think at least the first answer is "no". At the very least, if this test can be refined to reliably catch some types of depression, it can be used as a confirmation to those diagnoses, and further, help narrow down useful med, known to work well with those who suffer and who have symptoms including this positive blood test.
Hypothetical rule: "Operating Systems may be distributed through the Mac App Store only if they are capable of running the Mac App Store"
I'm suggesting that every single application prior sandboxing was not safely distributed. It's not like anyone had a choice, there was an age before airbags.

I also disagree that extensibility is in conflict with sandboxing. As for pro media software developers, I'm pretty sure it's just a matter of time and polishing of the platform. AutoCad LT is already in.
The gcc installed by Xcode 4.0.2 is able to compile working gcc cross-compilers. The llvm-gcc installed by Xcode 4.1+ isn't.

This is problematic for the Cocotron project [1], which is an Xcode-compatible cross-compiler environment for creating Windows/Linux ports of Cocoa apps. Currently one has to revert to Xcode 4.0.2 to build Cocotron's cross-compiler, then upgrade back to 4.2... This is not terribly convenient. (I guess the long-term solution is that Cocotron either has to add a dependency on a non-Apple gcc, or needs to switch to clang for its cross-compiler.)

>padding pushes inward against interior content and margin pushes outward against exterior content.

That actually seems the wrong way round to me. If you think about a document, the margin is what separates text from the edge of the page (or interior padding, if you will). Padding, to me, implies an area around an element that other elements can't touch.
The 'Wow' Signal and SETI's Most Tantalizing Trace of Alien Life
Computational and Data Journalism
Quit trying to get everyone off your lawn and accept that you are a (presumably) some kind of developer. Computers are not made just for your needs. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one. In this case, you'll eventually have to be running some kind of developer tool to have this kind of access. This is probably appropriate. The average computer user (of any mainstream OS) has as much use for the ability to manage "scripts" and "ISOs" outside of a purpose-built application for using them, as he does for a C compiler.

More results doesn't always give better results. Generally, they do, but depending on the problem it's often very marginal.

The actual ranking algorithm is more important, especially (I suspect) pre-processing. Google's main advantage (I'd guess) is its expertise in algorithms and processing.

It might be instructive to ask yourself why the software industry is full of stories opposite brador's expectations. For example, consider that by definition, there can be no stories about technologies that have been kept secret.

(I dislike software patents myself and agree with you, though, that, for a variety of reasons, we'd still see plenty of innovation without them.)
A more concrete example:
You discover that the formula for making a beam that will have equal stress all along it's length is t = (.923)Xe/L^2 (made-up formula)

You can not patent that formula, but you can get a patent on beams made using that formula. With that patent in hand you can stop anyone from making, selling, or using those beams.
Uhmm, I just looked briefly at HTML5 Boilerplate in the past, and I was wondering what is it providing that Bootstrap is missing ? How come Bootstrap wasn't enough on its own ?
It is probably a bit hard for a startup at this point, unless they just develop and license tech. The major cost and barrier to market is probably still in getting regulations through, once these are through though I think there will be lots of startup opportunities.
ok, thanks. Will take a look at this tomorrow.
The WebKit maintainers already refused adding Dart support on grounds of not being a web standard, not wanting to fragment the web any further and not wanting the extra maintenance burden for the changes required to WebKit in order to support multiple scripting languages. Same reasoning goes for Mozilla, especially because they don't see Dart solving any problems that either couldn't be solved in a future version of JavaScript or that warrant the pains of having to maintain two different scripting engines. AFAIK Opera also didn't show any interest in it.

So Google's only hope left is for Chrome to gain monopoly-level market share to simply force the remaining browsers into compliance.
Point taken. But when llvm-gcc doesn't compile the code that every other instance of gcc found on modern platforms does, it's hard to argue that it's the same thing.

Edit -- the llvm-gcc project doesn't seem to share your opinion of the project as being "just another back-end". They certainly don't claim that it's fully compatible, only that it supports "many" features, "most" options, "a number of" extensions:

"Being derived from the GNU Compiler Collection, llvm-gcc has many of gcc's features and accepts most of gcc's options. It handles a number of gcc's extensions to the C programming language."

WTH are you talking about? A lot of things happened in the past, it's customary to let it stay in the past. The Iranian government had a chance to make things better for their citizens and for the world after overthrowing the Shah.

Instead, they try to control people's individual freedoms, suppress those who speak against them and who propose reforms, try to isolate themselves from the international community and restrict free trade, not allow the UN inspectors to see whether they're building nuclear plants or warheads, threaten other countries in the area and a lot of other stuff. It's going backwards.

It's true that there are some elements in the US and EU who'd like to set up the middle east as a source of cheap resources, but surely there is a better way to control that than isolationism and totaliarism?

On a side note, I'm pretty sure Mahmoud or any other government official wouldn't be arrested for watching porn, for example - that's the sort of inequality that people are fighting against for hundreds of years now...
Hi Joeri,

I plan to add an option in the future to allow frames to be skippable regardless of whether they're animating or not. Just need to come up with a good way of doing it without elements flying all over the place.

I think they are positioning themselves for the ubiquity of location-based technologies.

By the end of 2013 I fully expect more energy efficient solutions to geolocation to be integrated in cellular phones or whatever we may see in terms of wireless connectivity. I also suspect there will be a social acceptance, if not necessarily embrace, of LBS. But in order to take advantage of the opportunity, they actually need to be in the field.

No way it's public. I can imagine apartment buildings having a car or two for use like a gym or laundry.

Or, perhaps a subscription service, superzipcar or something like that.
From a work perspective, this will be an awesome feature. We currently have a heap of screens with "Wireless Presenter" software running on them which isn't that easy to get going.

AirPlay Mirroring sounds like it could be a solution for that provided you could choose the Apple TV you wanted to connect to (There'd be at least 200 screens in my office).
I understand that. What I'm saying is that downvoting the guy is simply killing the messenger.
I doubt that a five year old GCC would much better choice for average developer/homebrew-user.
Hi,

Great question. At the moment, that's not directly supported. We started with the top consumer-facing services but will be working to add new services and storage backends.

Search is something we're already working on.

I ran into this problem, myself, after I upgraded Xcode a while back. Fink was no longer able to build a tool I wanted to install.

I wonder if there's a compelling reason for these add-on distros (Fink, Homebrew, Macports) to be strictly "build from source" with no option for binary package downloads. For me, it just seems to add long delays in getting a tool installed, and adds frustrating dependencies on my Xcode version.
Where's the link to the actual regulations?

I hate articles like this that could easily refer to the primary source, but fail to do so.

I'm guessing they preload the overview data for projects in the background while you're on the overview. You can tell the difference when he clicks one of the comments. A whole lot of nothing happens for 0.5 seconds or so, then the comment loads.
Smaller download for people who don't need them?

Rather than distributing two copies of the tools (one with Xcode, and the (awesome) new CLI only tool distribution), they DRY it up and have one canonical package for everyone, reducing testing, packaging overhead, possibility for divergence between the two packages, etc, etc?

Downvoting the guy who said, and I quote "He created a porn site"?

Nothing wrong with shooting the messenger who's saying things that are completely untrue.
Unfortunately, that (rather noble) act is untenable in a world where everyone's suing everyone in the big boy department. If Apple and Microsoft weren't trying to kill Android with lawsuits, I could see a gentleman's agreement between the lot of them making this a fairly effective strategy. With the current state of affairs, everyone needs all the linked list patents they can get.

What I just sent him (pending moderation):

Congratulations for being the first larger-name comedian to jump on the bandwagon. However, I'd like to offer up a great big "Go Fuck Yourself" for not getting why Louis C.K. did it, and what he ultimately learned. Your 2-months-prior-to-release announcement clearly shows that you saw that Louis made money, and you're going to make a half-assed effort to kinda-sorta emulate what he did. And if you fail (because you don't get how to market on the internet), you'll blame it on Pirates.

You're an idiot because you don't understand the difference between copying and stealing.

Stealing requires you to incur a loss of property. When a file is copied/downloaded, the original still exists.

When you say that a Pirate is stealing your property, you make an ass of yourself to anyone who understands the difference between moving a file from one folder to another, and copy/paste.

You're not even losing any intellectual property, because you can't claim ownership of any copy you did not originally create.

Gabe Newell has taught many businessmen that Pirates are merely underserved customers. Treating them like criminals leads to stupid shit like Metallica suing their fans for downloading their songs, and losing all credibility with anyone that doesn't work for Viacom or Paramount.

And fuck your military contribution. Doug Stanhope once said that most people that are in the military kinda/sorta want to kill someone. War is an outlet for those people to legally murder people, usually of a different skin color. If I give you $5 for your show, you'd better not donate a DIME of my money to them.

Good Job raising publicity. Many of us at ­http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=359­5285 are making fun of how little you understand this business model right now. Maybe in April you'll get some of this publicity you just wasted with a pre-announcement.

The Tools We Need vs. The Tools We Build.
OS X Mountain Lion Limits Apps to Mac App Store, Signed Apps by Default
Indeed, making a select list of writers and journalists feel like they are on a a select list of writers and journalists has long been an important item on marketing checklists.

What is unusual, in this case, is that Apple made it the way they launched the marketing for Mountain Lion.
I thought this was an excellent point by Reid:

“Contrary to what many bestselling authors and motivational gurus would have you believe, there is not a ‘true self’ deep within that you can uncover via introspection and that will point you in the right direction,” Hoffman writes. “Yes, your aspirations shape what you do. But your aspirations are themselves shaped by your actions and experiences. You remake yourself as you grow and the world changes. Your identity doesn’t get found. It emerges.”
Good tools to search for domain names
What are some of the best domain search / brainstorming tools out there? ...both web and mobile Apps.
While this is a nice convenience for registered Apple developers, I noticed that this download requires me to sign a confidentiality agreement and an NDA as part of the registration process (since I am NOT a registered Apple developer).

The nice thing about just installing the OS X developer tools off the OS X DVD is that you do not need to enter into these sorts of legal agreements with Apple (beyond a standard software EULA).
The Easiest Way To Try Out OpenStack

Ask HN: Good nameservers and moving domain
A year or two ago I registered a .com domain at Versio.nl for 5 years. I've found that their nameservers often have a rather high latency, peaking up to 300ms at times. They are the cheapest hosting I know, and for a good reason it seems, but I don't mind paying a couple euros per year extra for better service.
If I were to switch registrar though, I guess I'll need to buy the domain again? I have 3 years left at Versio, but I'm not really happy about their service... When doing a whois lookup it claims to be registered only till next year, but apparently they automatically renew it.

- Can anyone recommend me a registrar, preferably in the Netherlands or otherwise Europe, with good nameservers?
- Will I need to buy the domain again after transferring it, or might they have a special price if I only need DNS while the domain is registered already?
- Is it possible to only use the nameservers of another ISP while not transferring the domain itself? (Incase moving it turns out to be rather expensive.)

Why I don't ask this all at Versio? I don't expect them to recommend me any other registrars, and their support sucks (I didn't think I'd need it when choosing for this registrar). They give incomplete answers, and they often simply don't know the answer. So I'd appreciate if anyone here could help :)

Thanks a lot!
Luc

PS. I'm quite new to HN, I hope this is a question I may ask (since it's not a support forum) and I hope I posted it right. I didn't see how else to make an "Ask HN" (I might have missed a button which does that). If I did anything wrong, please tell me instead of just downvoting so I can do it right next time!
This is great although I'm not sure I agree with showing a list of "Recent Worst-Rated" (graded "F", presumed with vulnerabilities), seems like painting a target on some servers.

About Gatekeeper
Wow. I agree the TED brand has been cheapened a lot by the various TEDx affiliated events (which mainly seem to be B and C list celebrities or wannabes trying to self-promote), but to call it "silicon valley corporatism" is way off the mark.

I guess I don't even understand what "corporatism" is in this context. Is he saying that people who develop and deploy technologies are less interesting when speaking about those technologies and their effects than an academic who studies the social implications of technology?
This is exactly the takeaway that you are supposed to have from this propaganda.

Evil being the keyword.

Although there may legitimately be a need to help this person, the story definitely serves the purpose of those that wish to motivate the long-planned war with Iran.

Iran became a dictatorship because that was the way the US wanted it.

Nothing that Iran does to any web programmer justifies an invasion, bombing, or World War III. People don't realize that's what's at stake here. That is what these stories are about.

Look at a map. Look at where Iran is compared to Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya. This isn't about a web programmer.

We share some ideas, that's right. But there are some major differences. Firstly, Proxxler is 100% browser based. No install to your computer. This way we address people who are not willing to download SDKs. We support more than just the Android platform. And we are not abandoned by Google ;-)
But why did people leave cities to begin with? Street crime was an important factor.

I bet you will need some days less for your first "Hello World!" with this one.
it's even more than that. they made (are making) the tools so accessible to everyone, that what was once considered a craft (fine tuning a $50,000 recording desk) has now been reduced to a few settings on an $800 laptop.

That's just way of the world, I'm not complaining, it's great to get these creative tools to as many people as possible. But my original point still stands.

Of course you still have to have a tallent to make anything of these tools, no matter how point-and-click they are, even so they're robbing me of that feeling of achievement and pride that I had in being able to handle a tool that not many could... and yes, I'm aware that I'm beginning to sound like an old man.
