I just tried out normalize in a project I'm working on - so far, everything is great. Thanks for the hard work, Necolas!
I do, but given that I discussed my personal financial situation and other thoughts pseudononymously a lot on that forum, I'm going to ask that you respect my privacy and not dig for it.

The brief sketch: credit reporting agencies have Seriously Hard Problems (TM) in determining which identity to associate with an incoming piece of data. For example, suppose you have a file on a Patrick J. McKenzie who once lived in Chicago. You get a report from a hospital that a P.J. MacKenzie in an unspecified town in Illinois (not the actual guy) stiffed them on a $250 medical collection. They sold the debt to a debt collector who, having run a skip trace, determined that I am probably him, and they've reported the debt against my information directly. Do you merge those two identities? By the way, he's also delinquent on $100,000 in other debts.

This sort of thing happens all the time in credit reporting. See my blog post regarding "names are hard."
Can you elaborate? Honestly I think the differences far outweigh the similarities.

One case that comes to mind is how each language implements (what I call) the continuation pattern. Suppose you want to iterate over the vertices of a binary tree. In JavaScript, you would accept a callback parameter which you call with each vertex. In Python, you would yield each vertex to the caller. These are very different styles and lead you in different directions.

Your other projects are impressive as well, are you a one man team for all of them? Also thanks for the insight, this info isn't commonly shared with other startups, I appreciate it.

Nothing new that already had not been said a million times before. oh wait, there's the obligatory use of profanity to make it seem "cool". Lame attempt to gain attention, even more lane posting it to HN.
That second one is really good advice and the first one is really good advice if you're careful and savvy about it. However, they're both strictly dominated by doing (important) business only on paper. If you really need something resolved, the extent of your phone calls should be finding out what their mailing address is. (And I only say that because the people I used to help with this were mostly non-technical. Most of y'all could Google up the right info in your sleep.)
It probably has all been said before, but doing it is harder. And lot's of first-time entrepreneurs haven't heard it. Lame being jaded on HN

Client come to consulting shops with known (albeit vague or generic) problem. Consulting shop will run down the number and give it to the client.

At that time, it's a matter of prioritizing which one that matters.

If client is willing to pay to consulting shops to run the software the way a typical Silicon Valley Web 2.0 companies work (iterate fast, break fast, ship fast, invest in automation test and measurement tools), I don't see why not.

At the end of the day it's all about the $$$. Who wants to get more out of the deal.
Any website that connects startups with followers/fans?
Is there any website where people can join through twitter/facebook and browse/search for Twitter accounts/FB fan pages they can follow according to their interest?

I'm not looking for websites that sell followers/fans.
wait, you really created an account just to say this?
I got it for free too. I am not equipped with any online payment method yet (I know, it's already 2012 :( ). So I can only be very grateful to the author for making it possible for me to read it too.

Thank you Regenwald!
POWNED.

Nice work, branches of government!
5 When they went across the lake, the disciples forgot to take bread. 6 “Be careful,” Jesus said to them. “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
7 They discussed this among themselves and said, “It is because we didn’t bring any bread.”

8 Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked, “You of little faith, why are you talking among yourselves about having no bread? 9 Do you still not understand? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered? 10 Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered? 11 How is it you don’t understand that I was not talking to you about bread? But be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” 12 Then they understood that he was not telling them to guard against the yeast used in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Jesus sounded high on drugs! Of course the disciples were confused.

"Good loved Jacob and hated Esau." Kevin? No. It's fruitful to meditate on Jacob. He wrestled an angel or God. He was a trickster in ways I think are outrageous -- was hardly a goody-goody waiting for God to serve justice. very Jewish. I don't really like him.

they strap on his snowshoes, and, with the giant plow, plow a furrow
from the mountains to the seaboard, in which the cars, like a
following drill-barrow, sprinkle all the restless men and floating
merchandise in the country for seed. All day the fire-steed flies
over the country, stopping only that his master may rest, and I am
awakened by his tramp and defiant snort at midnight, when in some
remote glen in the woods he fronts the elements incased in ice

Agreed. If you don't have the network to find a job, create it. Cold calling/emails is a pretty inefficient way to do it, but it does work. Figure out what kind of job you want, find people that have that job and start talking to them. The most important thing is DON'T ASK THEM FOR A JOB. Just ask them how they got there and what advice they have for you. I've gotten more job offers that way than any other method.
Would it be possible to build a course around http://www.openwebdevice.com/ ? (I assume that a lot of the knowledge would overlap)
You probably have more experience with Wordpress than I do so I won't try to argue with that :).
I think the author is comparing apples and oranges. If you need large-scale data storage, then go with WebSQL or IndexedDB. If you just want to store data you normally used cookies to store, then use localStorage. This approach hasn't done me wrong yet.
Tip of the hat to Mozilla for innovating and trying to make Firefox the best browser possible. It seems like Chrome usage keeps going up; I'm really happy to see Mozilla not sitting around.

I'm not sure if that means you already know about it, but the virtual click infrastructure was built for this specific purpose.

Just make sure you don't use the virtual click events with elements that move as the browser will fire it's post-touch click on what's there when the time comes.
Thanks for your response. I didn't see it earlier, I try not to look at HN too often..

I've been to Singapore many times, and am fully aware of how much it costs to own a car. I live in Sydney, which if anything is more expensive than SG except for the car taxes. I do not consider Singapore to be expensive compared to Australia.

You refer often to appearances to others - investors, perhaps, comparing your costs of labour to other companies? What other oversight would you be experiencing?

Honestly I hadn't really thought about hiring cheap natives. Singapore is something of a hub for expats and I was thinking I would just invite anyone I needed.

If you have exeperience with running a startup style business in singapore I would love to hear about it.
yeah, one man team.
Nothing really new, yet. Looks like they are just doing their jobs, running after the market, not in front of it, as it should be.
Update released!
Very interesting, thanks for sharing! I also liked the disclaimer that "Wired News has been unable to confirm some sources for a number of stories written by this author." That's gotta be an awkward conversation with your editors :P
Or something that randomizes your browser fingerprint values each time you restart.
You think that's bad? Have you ever looked at the way the islands of the Aegean are divided between Greece and Turkey? There are a number of Greek islands that lie almost completely within bays of the Turkish mainland, and there are a number of places where you could literally swim between the two countries.

On the same topic, I found it interesting that Google just completely doesn't label Imia/Kardak. They just appear as blank spots on the map.
I currently use WebSQL for offline capabilities in my app. Just have no interest at all in learning IndexedDB, especially when WebSQL is still supported and when its similar enough to other SQL technologies that I don't have to spend to much time learning it.
Incognito mode does that fairly successfully. Try the Panopticlick link in incognito, you'll see what I mean.
Why couldn't pull requests just be kept on hold until the contributor signs the agreement?
I love BetterPrivacy. I'm surprised every day, when I close the browser, how many flash cookies it reports it will clear.
I was surprised on a recent trip to Europe to see evidence of Anonymous and the Occupy movement everywhere I traveled, from the large encampments at Occupy London and Zurich to random street graffiti in Cologne and Salzburg (we are legion, expect us, that sort of thing).

This is correct. You can use whatever email you want in your commits. Your Github email is not shared by Github to any other party.
GIS is fairly complicated. I have a certificate in it, though I never managed to get a job in GIS due to a health crisis. If you genuinely just want something local to help a few friends, you would probably be better off trying a simpler approach, like a static map with pop up info on when you can park there or something.
Here are my audacious claims:

I would say that Microsoft Windows is no longer relevant... and hasn't been for a long time.

The one thing that would make them relevant again, if it is true (and not just rumor), is MS Office for iPad.

It would sell like crazy, and it's really only the data that matters anyways.
Figures it had to be someone at Mozilla. If I prefer WebSQL, I'll use WebSQL.
That's not true. The Stanford AI class up front said that it required a lot of math. I ended up dropping out because I couldn't catch up quickly enough with the math requirement to complete the course as well.
I'm not a Perl programmer, but I'm aware of Moose. It's frequently mentioned in beginner tutorials on how to do OO.
It's really cool to see a website this big contributing back to FOSS, good stuff.
Its not always about the money I earn now, or over the next two weeks. Looking at thing from that perspective is not just a narrow minded way of looking but a very destructive thing over the longer run.

I push 16 hours work day packed with productivity at the extreme, why? Sure I don't get paid for all that immediately. But bear in mind incrementally over the years I have learned tons more than the average guy. I am also better trained to perform on my current job than my peers. The chances of me doing some thing big are higher, I am better aligned to a good job/promotion or a raise.

Basically when somebody is talking of career development and over time this is what they mean.

I joined this industry 5 years back. Without fancy degrees, Ivy league brand, marks and grades. Today I'm far ahead of most of my peers who joined with me then. Ofcourse I have faced a lot of ridicule, mockery as to why like a fool I do so much work for free. I am not doing anything for free, I am just ok with temporary loss in compensation for a premium later.

In you and your research by Richard Hamming - http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~robins/YouAndYourResearch.html , This point is mentioned:

Now for the matter of drive. You observe that most great scientists have tremendous drive. I worked for ten years with John Tukey at Bell Labs. He had tremendous drive. One day about three or four years after I joined, I discovered that John Tukey was slightly younger than I was. John was a genius and I clearly was not. Well I went storming into Bode's office and said, ``How can anybody my age know as much as John Tukey does?'' He leaned back in his chair, put his hands behind his head, grinned slightly, and said, ``You would be surprised Hamming, how much you would know if you worked as hard as he did that many years.'' I simply slunk out of the office!

What Bode was saying was this: ``Knowledge and productivity are like compound interest.'' Given two people of approximately the same ability and one person who works ten percent more than the other, the latter will more than twice outproduce the former. The more you know, the more you learn; the more you learn, the more you can do; the more you can do, the more the opportunity - it is very much like compound interest. I don't want to give you a rate, but it is a very high rate. Given two people with exactly the same ability, the one person who manages day in and day out to get in one more hour of thinking will be tremendously more productive over a lifetime. I took Bode's remark to heart; I spent a good deal more of my time for some years trying to work a bit harder and I found, in fact, I could get more work done. I don't like to say it in front of my wife, but I did sort of neglect her sometimes; I needed to study. You have to neglect things if you intend to get what you want done. There's no question about this.

And trust me this incremental learning and productivity give mindblowing results over time.
Too many alerts like that and you're all "Yeah, yeah, whatever, 123123abc here you go".
Why You Need More Do-ers Than VPs
Sure there may have been a lot of expectations and some hype for new up and coming Windows releases but this will be the first time that Microsoft will be providing such an overhauled (design and function) OS available across mobile and desktop. It's a necessity for Microsoft to get the platform integration right in order to stand a chance against the wonderfully integrated ecosystem model Apple has really set a standard for. This is definitely, in my opinion, far from "the same".

Intel's Ivy Bridge Already Overclocked to 7GHz
To be more specific, this is the F0F1 Mitochondrial ATP Synthase. This protein is the reason that I decided to study biochemistry, but I have to say that this animation doesn't nearly do it justice. For one thing, the entire rotor/stator mechanism of the F0 unit is woefully glossed over. The rotor itself is composed of a number of alpha-helices that have a single location for a motile hydrogen to attach. In doing so, it causes a rotation of the lower half of the helix, generating a mechanical motion that turns the rotor.

In fact, probably the most amazing aspect of this protein is that it is, in every sense of the term, a nano-machine. ATP is generated not by chemical reaction, but rather by mechanical force. The 3 active sites in the F1 unit have residues which hold the ADP and Pi in a favorable arrangement, but it is the spring action, triggered by the crankshaft, that causes a vice-like movement that literally squeezes the two together to form ATP.

Very cool...if you ask me.
No, the Rails inspired node.js framework forces an ORM on you. My advice throughout this thread has been to stick with Rails if the Rails conventions do it for you. There's certainly nothing broken with that approach. I don't think Rails is the right tool for every problem, but for the ones that it is, people will probably be better served using that, rather than re-implementing it in node.

I'm neither anti-Rails or anti-ORM. But the types of projects that actually benefit from being in node, rather than Rails generally benefit from not being tied to those conventions. If what you're doing fits the Rails pattern, that's probably a better solution than anything in node. If you're doing a project that doesn't fit that, and you need lots of customization, you're probably better off doing that from scratch (or with a minimal un-opinionated framework).

I think both have their places. It really depends on the project.
What to do when Sky starts falling
This project looks awesome and really points out some of the major weaknesses with in mySQL/libmysql-

* Impossible/difficult to gracefully handle connection/query timeouts.
* Extremely poor query/row cache (the table's entire query cache is flushed anytime a write is made in the table)
* Poor connection memory usage- Each open connection sucks up ~10MB of memory
Or, as the sign on President Harry S. Truman's desk famously proclaimed: "The buck stops here."

Thank you! I always start with paper and pen - there is just no faster way to iterate and, more importantly: focus. I need to get out of the office to do creative work like this and taking a tablet with me just leads to distractions rather than just "out of the office for the next couple of hours in the park, don't email me".
If anyone's interested, I did my take on how to get the most out of SxSW, here:

http://sivers.org/sxsw

But the best part is that I crowd-sourced the question out to all my musician clients (+ friends like Tim Ferriss and some record label people) - and they all contributed their opinion on video. All these are linked in the post, too.

(I curated it, so the ones in the post there are the best of the best. At very least, click the "Big Kenny" one.)

It's very musician-centric, but maybe you'll find it useful.

The Dirty Truth About Network Marketing That You Must Understand
There's never a hope of knowing 100%, but it is reasonable to be familiar enough to know 80% with ten years of experience and 95% with twenty. By thirty if you're the kind to take knowing your toolset seriously, 99% is possible. That last 1% is the "you can't be serious" aspect of the C standard.

The content is just as shaky as the headline, IMO.

FTA: "Windows XP was an updated but essentially similar experience to Windows 95, Windows Vista was an attempt to correct XP’s security issues but turned into a joke of its own, and Windows 7 was what Vista should have been yet failed to inspire."

XP was a pretty huge deal to anyone who wasn't already running Windows 2000 (which is almost everyone). It was the first consumer release built on the NT kernel and was incredibly more stable than previous consumer Windows releases. It may be hard to remember at this point, but XP was a huge game changer for the average user... a brave new world where a Windows app could crash without bringing down the whole OS to a blue screen!

I don't really get the Windows 7 slight. Windows 7 was a huge success, both in terms of actual adoption and critical praise.

I also found the lack of mention of Microsoft's very successful 64-bit transition (IMO this is a very undervalued aspect of Vista, though Windows 7 carried it forward to the larger masses) a huge oversight here.

Why not take the Steve Jobs route and walk into a company's office and refuse to leave until they offer you a job. Square is in downtown San Fran.
I love the Dr. Strangelove reference!

The advice is sold too! Unplugging is often the most helpful way to get sh*t done. Another technique I came across recently is to start off your day with production rather than consumption. i.e. start your morning writing a 500 word essay or going outside, sitting in a park, and just making those wireframes. Your day will be exponentially more productive!
