Geek culture is not entirely heterodox. But it is somewhat heterodox. The key thing is that to be accepted usually you have to do something both different and unusual, but excel it at in your own way. Shameless plug: some examples of my paper airplanes: http://www.flickr.com/photos/einhverfr

I think there are many more girl geeks than folks think. But in some areas, they are very much under-represented. The problem though is that "tech" here is used as a very narrow way. I think if there is a female sysadmin who runs an accounting system for a rice manufacturing plant, that she would be a "woman in tech" as would a self-employed consultant that hacks on open source software and implements it for customers. But the "women in tech" lists are not about women working in tech.... And that's part of the problem.
I wait for a program that generates all the copyright content in existence. It will automatically not generate copyrighted and pubic domained content already.

The business model is automatically sending notices claiming copyright infringement. Youtube automatically sends you money. Collection societies give you a cut from their racket. Most of the money will initially go towards lawsuits where I can demand up to $100,000 (highest fine in the world in USA, even if it's non-commercial). All part of the good ol' effort against the piracy economic bogeyman.

Bonus: USA is known to steal works from public domain 'as part of being treaty obligations' and thus, since Mickey Mouse. Copyright will never expire.

I'm a pirate because intellectual property is flawed and the next piracy will be 3D printers. http://reprap.org/wiki/EndOfIntellectualProperty

Look to China for how businesses is done in a country with no regard for IP. Microsoft sells cheaper software and better services. Copyright companies isolate China from rest of world under region restrictions, etc.
Single symbols are ok, but why do they have to be denoted by a single letter? There's a reason why using single-letter (or two, or three-letter) variables is discouraged in programming in favour of longer, descriptive names. It's to avoid the moments in which you start wondering, in the middle of reading a function, 'why q has to be greater than k-1? And what the hell is this Q(p) anyway?'. I really don't understand why both math and physics are so into one-character symbols. Even the OP's Bayes theorem example shows that it's easier to read a formula, when the symbol names self-evaluate to their meaning.

One can build anything in any language(considering the mathematical possibility). So by this definition we can all go back to building in Nand gates. But that is not what its all about.

Languages get used because they do a certain job well. Perl does, what it was designed to do very well. That is precisely what Larry wall's water bed theory of complexity is about(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterbed_theory).

You have a problem with CPAN? With CPAN, really? A ecosystem that is considered as a killer feature which no other language has managed to emulate so far?

And Perl is monolithic???? Really? Are you aware what you are talking about. Are you just debating for debating's sake? Perl is probably the most extensible and flexible languages that is out there. That is what enables modules like Devel::Declare(http://search.cpan.org/~zefram/Devel-Declare-0.006011/lib/De...) to be written. Which is what enable gems like Moose to be built(http://search.cpan.org/search?query=Moose&mode=all)

Outside Lisp, Perl is probably the most flexible and most extensible language that exist. The entire CPAN is a standing proof of that.

Have you read Mark Jason Dominus's Higher order Perl, Have you read chromatic's Modern Perl? When you talk of elegance and power?

You call Perl a mess of a hundred text processing utilities. Can you show me one language that does regular expressions as well as Perl? Can you show me one language that handles Unicode better than Perl? Every other language I know creates huge spaghetti mess for even simple things like opening files and matching regular expressions. Have you used things like Parse::RecDescent??

Perl also gave a lot of other beautiful things to the world. Thinks like the Artistic License.

Not just that Perl is the only language community that has had more syntax based feature additions in the recent past than the rest. They have managed to release great features in the recent past.

Thank you for this link. I have a feeling it will change my life.
Quite aside from any of the main points being made here, the guy is dead on about Strogatz's book. I had the same reaction to that book as I did to Lipovača's Learn You A Haskell - it's a great accessible resource to learn something new and interesting (if perhaps not immediately useful). Would appeal to the HN crowd I imagine.

Brainstorming
Brainstorming is a process for developing creative solutions to problems. Brainstorming works by focusing on a problem, and then deliberately coming up with as many solutions as possible and by pushing the ideas as far as possible. One of the reasons it is so effective is that the brainstormers not only come up with new ideas in a session, but also spark off from associations with other people’s ideas by developing and refining them. While some research has found brainstorming to be ineffective, this seems more of a problem with the research itself than with the brainstorming tool (Isaksen, 1998). There are four basic rules in brainstorming (Osborn, 1963) intended to reduce social inhibitions among team members, stimulate idea generation, and increase overall creativity:

No criticism: Criticism of ideas are withheld during the brainstorming session as the purpose is on generating varied and unusual ideals and extending or adding to these ideas. Criticism is reserved for the evaluation stage of the process. This allows the members to feel comfortable with the idea of generating unusual ideas.
Welcome unusual ideas: Unusual ideas are welcomed as it is normally easier to “tame down” than to “tame up” as new ways of thinking and looking at the world may provide better solutions.
Quantity Wanted: The greater the number of ideas generated, the greater is the chance of producing a radical and effective solution.
Combine and improve ideas: Not only are a variety of ideals wanted, but also ways to combine ideas in order to make them better.
You are asking to see meticulous proofs in a simple blog post, which is not gonna happen. Also, any article like this will assume that you already know something about what's going on there, or at least in the rest of the world. Eg: If someone says 20-30% inflation rate is high, it's obviously comparing it to the inflation in other countries. So yes, it's damn high.
About the metrics, its pretty simple: they just pick the products/services that didn't increase much their price during that period. Of course nobody can't actually live with those products, nobody buys them or even know them. And when they need something real for the index, like the Big Mac.. Well, you know what happens. Automagically its price is reduced to a half, and the product is removed from the menu.

Facebook is just a tool for most people. Sure, increased exposure to computers will attract more people, but not a huge amount more. My younger brother uses facebook a lot, but has no desire to program.
When I first asked a friend about Pinterest, his reply went more or less along the lines of "it lets users be creators and not just consumers."

I still don't know what he was smoking, but I don't think he's alone.
::Regex aren't difficult to learn, it's just nobody teaches them as a language with a base syntax and words to use::

I couldn't agree more. because of lack of the "language" approach to them, their weird syntax, and the fact that the "verbose" mode for their definition is almost unknown, they come out as a sort of voodoo that only gurus can handle. Moreover, this results in tons of broken code in production. They're simple, beautiful and handy, but have an unfortunate historical load.

He's identified a real problem and is going in the right direction.

I don't think we need to go quite as far though to make an improvement.

A simple observation that I find amazing that more people don't see, is this:

Mathematics is obfuscated code that doesn't compile or run.

One letter identifiers and odd symbols rather than useful textual descriptions.

No way to drill down into the meaning of the symbols.

With code you can take a higher-level function and look at the code for the functions it uses, then look at the implementation of the language, then look at the assembly language, etc. No such thing in mathematics.
Not to nitpick, but the logical inference in the title is backwards. What they want to say is "Copying is not necessarily Stealing", because "Stealing is not always Copying" is obvious because stealing can be done by other means. Sorry for geeking out.
What surprises me most about CC-licensed work is how often the author/licensor neglects one aspect of the license:

--------

Attribution — You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work)

-------- [1]

Attribution in manner specified by the author or licensor. I can't remember a single time that I have seen anybody that uses CC specify in what manner they require attribution.

It would be quite simple to require reasonable attribution in a way that a user of pinterest can't do, and in that case use of the licensed work would be in conflict of the license used.

Hi,
Agreed that in your standard app, the overhead of rendering will outweigh that of communication with native code.

For us at Trigger, however, we don't have any control over the efficiency of your Javascript, or the interpreter and rendering engine that holds it.

What we can control is how efficient the communication is between your JS and the underlying native APIs. Everyone agrees that performance is a key issue, so we take great care to ensure that the performance of code we control is as small as possible.

I think you're right, but only up until that point where people see concrete, actual consequences of giving up their privacy.

A friend of mine was not very happy when he discovered that he was served ads about "how to lose weight!", and "struggling with depression?". Of course, I don't even know if those were targeted to him. Maybe the next ad he'll see is "struggling with paranoia?" :)
That title is somewhat framing the issue; a better one would be "Judge awards AT&T customer $850 in throttling case"
I think the biggest issue is the growing number of online publications using third party messaging / discussion forums like Facebook or disqus. AFAIK require third party cookies to work. Then again, it made me question whether it was really worth commenting on a story...

Hi Matt,

Of course, there were a number of reasons we were wary of being downstream of PhoneGap. The specific issue of Android performance wasn't a blocker, but was, to us, symptomatic of a philosophical difference between PhoneGap's approach and ours. We're not saying one is Right and one is Wrong - we just have different priorities.

Another key aspect for us was that our runtime platform is tightly integrated with our tooling: how those tools interact with the generation of runnable apps is obviously key to usability of our product, so we were very uncomfortable not owning such a key part of the puzzle.

The other option would have been to fork PhoneGap with no intention to push upstream, but that, to me, is against the spirit of open source, and still not optimal to us as we'd need to shoe-horn our tooling to fit a code base not designed with our needs in mind.

If the AI can simulate reality from the information in memory, it can do it fully in real-time too as it uses the same mechanisms/synapse patterns. Why deprive it of RT sensory information then? Thought experiments should not create unnecessary constraints just for narrative kicks.

Python has the VERBOSE (re.X/re.VERBOSE) modifier as well, it works nicely with raw triple-quoted strings. And I'm guessing it also exists in Ruby.
[..]Anyone that had used previous file synchronization programs, including Apple’s own iDisk, constantly encountered state problems. Modifications in one location would get out of synch with those in another, ruining the entire premise of seamless synchronization. It wasn’t that these other companies did not understand the problem, it was just that they could not execute on the solution. The Dropbox team solved this, which was a critical innovation.[..]

Not true. They solved nothing, they copied existing solutions, and hide the problems. If there is some conflicting file, the just rename them to "$FILENAME (Conflict Copy from $MACHINE $DATE)" and then...do nothing!

I was really shocked when i discovered that my systems had hundreds of those conflicts, and i did never became a message about them from dropbox.
Ask HN: (how often) do you clear your cookies?
In light of the discussion w.r.t. Google working around Safari's "do not accept third party cookies" setting, I wonder whether people clear their cookies (web and Flash) regularly, and if so, how often. Related to that, do you use private mode as a means to fight tracking?

Free Lightweight Linux Distributions
Open Source Operating Systems like UNIX and Linux are a huge success despite other available options like Apple Mac OS or Windows OS. It might be obvious thing that other two major OSs are pure commercial software whereas Linux is popular because it’s available for free with great device and media supports.
Nice. So, it's possible to integrate the interpreter on iOS? My app http://worqshop.com has the Python editor (with syntax highlighting) and GitHub support. But, no interpreter!
I'm guessing that most of the lag is in decrypting the broadcast stream on the fly from nagra 3 or whatever the current version is. For sure in Ireland there was a big business in selling 'dodgy' boxes which could decrypt all channels when you had paid for only a basic subscription to cable. The encryption upgrade a few years ago killed all of them but made the cable boxes run as slowly as treacle when it came to epg or channel switching

> Stephen Downes emailed me personally about that.

You mean this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Downes ? Was he offended by the word "spade"?

It often seems to be the case that the people who are fighting for political correctness are not actually the ones that would be potentially offended by a given phrase. The "PC police" imagine that something might be taken poorly by someone else, and they seem to enjoy foisting their views on others, deriving some sense of superiority from their "heightened sensitivity."

Why can't we follow the simple policy that if you, personally, are offended by something, you speak up. Otherwise, you keep your mouth shut.

Let's call a spade a spade: some people just like to grant themselves the authority to tell people what to do.
This is something to skim and spot bits you didn’t know, leading you to the relevant bit of the fine manual. It has errors though, e.g.

/\<\d\d\d\d\> : Search for exactly 4 digit numbers
/\D\d\d\d\d\D : Search for exactly 4 digit numbers
/\<\d\{4}\> : same thing

The middle one is not the same as the other two since \D has to match something unlike the zero-width assertions of \< and \> for beginning and end of word.
Where did AJAX apps go? If you ask me these are thick clients. The funny thing is that HTTP explicitly omitted AJAX in order to acheive linkability and thin clients. With AJAX linkability got thrown out the window and the clients just keep getting fatter. No wonder that the server gets a less important role. I hope that people understand that they are breaking REST when they bild these type of apps.

> I was unaware of those optional cookie settings. When I read that second paragraph I almost left the article to make the privacy change before I realized that I was already using Safari.

Some browsers have an even tighter setting, between "first-party only" and "no cookies": prompting for every cookie being set.

That's what I use in Camino. It is more expensive as I'm prompted every time I browse as site for the first time, but the default dismiss via "[ESC]" is to deny the cookie, and to set a deny rule in the browser.

That way, I only accept cookies on sites in which I want to log in, and (depending on the site) sesion-only cookies of sites which require cookies.
Durable too. Mine have lasted 8 years so far.
A lot of the time when doing math, you literally don't want to know what a particular symbol stands for - you just want to manipulate the symbols abstractly. Too much interpretation can interfere with the process of pattern recognition that is essential for doing mathematics well. You also see this in programming whenever someone writes

public interface List<T> { ... }

in Java, or when you write

Tree a = Empty | Branch a (Tree a) (Tree a)

in Haskell. It doesn't matter what 'T' and 'a' are, so we use short, one-character representations for them. The fact that you can write Bayes rule as P(A|B) = P(A)P(B|A)/P(B) (where I've even used a zero-character representation for the background information!) expresses the fact that A and B can be arbitrary events, and don't need to have any connection to hypotheses, models or data. It just happens one of the applications of Bayes rule is in fitting scientific hypotheses to data.

Free Logo Creator for a Staring Business
If you are just starting out in business you may have been thinking about getting yourself a free logo creator . As you may have already found out, a logo is often the first impression your potential customers get of you. This makes choosing the right logo very important. There are several ways you can get a logo. Most of these require you parting with quite a lot of cash as logo design can be quite costly.

But that's only if you try to learn by prodding and poking it. When I started learning English, I didn't begin by reading the definitions of a word in a dictionary. I read manuals that explained the basics in a way that didn't assume prior knowledge.

In the same way, searching for "how can I learn to use the command line" gives you a bunch of guides - of varying quality, of course - that explain the basic commands in a clearer way.
