starting your day in a creative mindset does frame your day in a different way. Not sure this is panacea, but optimizing for production rather than consumption seems like the right framework. dying to try it!
My experience tells me that WebSockets will absolutely dominate in web apps using private API's. They're just so much easier to work with, and superior performance. But REST will still be the preferred way to build public API's because Websockets require a certain amount of resource per user that you probably don't want in a public API.
bidirectional RPC is much nicer than REST.

I don't see why - REST seems extremely elegant to me.

In any case, they solve completely different problems. REST is a set of constraints that ensure your architecture will be scalable, reliable, efficient (by allowing multiple levels of caching), easy to evolve (by being extremely decoupled) and linkable.

WebSockets throw away all that to ensure you can have low latency realtime bidirectional communications.
There are lobby groups in the media for every interest group. You argue that the jews control the media with very little support and ignore that it is a carbon copy of racist hate propaganda.

You guys also wear white capes?

>>The Israeli ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians caused the refugee problem in the first place

You handpick facts and twist them. Some points:

1. There were lots of refugee problems in both world wars, many worse than Palestine. This is the only case were the suffering was made permanent for generations, just to be able to keep up the hate. It is just disgusting that you blame others for what the Arab states did differently than the rest of the world.

2. There were more people thrown out from the muslim world just for being jews than Palestinians that fled in the middle of a civil war. Then there were jews from the West Bank that fled 1948-1949. Why do you guys never mention them?

3. Argh, enough.

You don't argue, you write one eyed hateful propaganda. I stopped reading.

This is the result of letting this subject onto HN. The language wars trolls are bad as it is.
Then what is the web?
I don't think change in this area is going to come from within (unless the reason for change is financial). If/when it happens, I think it will be the result of external pressure that comes from things like Khan Academy and open-source textbooks proving themselves to be better than paid textbooks.

I've thought about working on a free site to help parents/students locate the best free online math resource that can help them with a specific question, worksheet, homework assignment, etc. As a tutor, I've frequently heard from parents that they know these types of things exist on the internet, but that they have no clue how to find the right Khan video that will help with tonight's homework.

If anyone is interested in this sort of thing, please get in touch.

TCMWC: Hands-On With The HTC
And the journals it is published in should be open too.

I know it is offtopic, but it makes my blood boil that we allow scientific research, in great part paid for with tax dollars, to be locked up in what basically are proprietary journals only a few privileged have access to while they should be freely accessible to absolutely everyone.
I deal with this problem in the social sciences, where the problem is even worse. Data analysis by convention with an overwhelming reliance on expensive propietary software ... I'm actually talking to a bunch of academics on this topic later this week, so this article is very timely.
I started using ConTeXt (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Main_Page) after many years of LaTeX. The command interfaces are more homogeneous than with LaTeX and it is quite easy to do complex layout with it.
Thanks for the kind words!

Hm - your comment underscores an important point. Most of us users don't even know exactly why were prefer certain UXs but they make us FEEL a certain way. And that indescribable sense seems to be the difference why certain apps win and others lose.
>NXDOMAIN hijacking //

You and waffle_ss both mention this, can you expand on what problem you're facing. I use OpenDNS because of the filtering abilities and because I found on test that they were marginally faster for me than Google.

Next to never do I see their domain redirect page and whenever I have it's always had the domain I've been after at the top of the page - for example, http://guide.opendns.com/?url=ycambinator.com. Yes it has a couple of text-ads but for the 2-3s you're on the page I can't see that I really have any problem with this at all ... it's way less intrusive than the ads on most websites now.

So what's the issue? Is it really akin to being robbed at gunpoint?
One thing I still don't get from marshall brain (from his otherwise visionary writing), is: If there is going to be 50% unemployment, who is going to be spending their money on flights. Will people eat as much fast food? If no one is working, who needs robotic tax accountants?

He says there would be many sectors where human jobs are replaced. I'd say many sectors gone, completely. Who needs to go to a fast food restaurant when your robot can make it for you for... the price of bread? Who needs tax accountants when your computer can do it?
Are you implying that web page design skills and icon choices are a good predictor of a coder's ability to write a blazing fast spatial index? This library solves a hard problem very well. The web design is as it is because we threw the web site together fast to help other people solve this problem, not to win design awards. The market is not big enough to warrant further polish.
>>Israeli Tshirts depict

And you judge a democracy because some T-shirts some people wear?! I really wish you are a troll...

Seriously, don't you have less ridiculous and less braindead attempts at arguments? Is this REALLY the best you have?!

Edit: So if you went to e.g. Spain and ended up at a metal gig, you'd judge all Spanish people as satanists... :-)
Is 30,000 photos a large enough dataset for a ML exercise like this?

It might just be journalistic simplifying but I wonder if they overfit their data with such specific "good" and "bad" words:

Among the best words: Peru, Cambodia, Michigan, tombs, trails and boats. What photo captions are the most likely to signify a bad photo for a travel magazine? San Jose, mommy, graduation and CEO, Warden says.
Wonderful advice. These past few weeks I've been trying to write a few articles, but have yet to finish one concretely and I wonder if this has something to do with it. As I look back I go through a perpetual loop of research, and the fact that my brain has been wired towards consumer mindset from doing the same routine for 3-4 years is probably a huge part of that.

Trying this tomorrow.

This sounds like the type of idea that Thiel would be into. I applaud your creativity and these discussions regarding minimum wage are surprisingly pertinent.
my friend showed me the data they receive regarding some of that stuff. It's not terribly granular, but you do get some of it.

overall, my takeaway was that you're at an advantage if you know how to do a little internet marketing wrt reaching your specific audience. my friends run a website that produces content and has a readership, so that helped a bit. I can tell you that they certainly did not expect to do as well as they did.

I'm very happy for them, not only to see them do well, but to see them drive the majority of the funding rather than kickstarter being the main driving source. That alone has changed how they value themselves and is probably worth more in the longrun than the money they raised.
I think what lots of people are missing is that Websockets doesn't compete with REST or SOAP, it competes with HTTP. Until now, programs written in Javascript could only use one internet protocol: HTTP. Websockets brings low-level TCP socket programming to Javascript, enabling the use of any TCP-level protocol.

Of course, this happens within a sandbox that involves initiating the connection over HTTP and tunneling the protocol through a server over port 80. But that server can be a proxy that forwards the stream to any TCP service, on any TCP port. We're back to the days when anyone could and did develop their own protocols, and many of those became standards.

I suspect that we're going to see that kind of development again: people will initially create their own protocols to use over Websockets, then they'll recognize the benefit of tunneling existing standard TCP protocols to their Javascript programs (how about an IMAP client written in Javascript?) then finally someone will develop an HTTP client in Javascript.
Why I will never fly American Airlines ever again
I think this can be very true of theoretical research, but when I entered grad school I was pretty interested in the applied fields. My problem was I didn't have substantial industry experience to identify the labs that were doing real applied work compared to the publishing factories that drew tenuous claims to the real world to get grants.
This is very very loosely related, but if anyone wants to track the amount that they type there's an awesome project called Whatpulse that has been running since about 2004 that tracks your keys typed (only the totals, doesn't log the individuals keys in order) that is fun to run. You can easily compare what you typed in the morning vs. the evening, day to day: http://whatpulse.org/
I never use the leg strap, personally, though I can imagine that, if your hands are in bad shape, it would reduce the force needed to hold it in place.

It's actually also really good for kneading your calves for people like me that have perpetual trigger points there. It's a bit undersized, so I've been meaning to email them and suggest they make a "LegAid" that's larger and more robust...
It's not "file permissions", it's the permissions that the Android app is asking for, and you're granting it, at install time.

I've mentioned this here before: look at something like the weather channel app on Amazon's app store, which requests an astonishing array of permissions, including the permission to dial out silently without your interaction.

The Android apps, like Facebook apps, are overreaching, and training users to accept the incursion in order to use well known apps, leaving them more likely to accept the same from obscure apps.
That article doesn't really say anything at all. He harassed some employee who wouldn't comment, that's all.

As for redundancy, yes, that's a good idea, but there is a lot that can go wrong even if you've planned for redundancy. Have you ever yanked a disk out of your RAID setup during peak load? Why not, don't trust the redundancy? And that's why things break, even if the architecture is designed not to.
We have a searchable collection of 28 videos and 16 slide decks about Clojure gathered from various conferences here: http://lanyrd.com/topics/clojure/coverage/
Here's one possible design:

Currently the immune system prevents bacteria from living too close to the cells of the intestines (they have to stay in the mucus).

Setup a signaling system where bacteria that make vitamin C are permitted to stay close, and are shielded from the actions of the immune system. This lets you selectively host those bacteria, and it puts the vitamin C right where it can be immediately absorbed before other bacteria can get to it.

It also punished cheaters, since without the vitamin C the immune system would attack them and force them to stay farther from the food.

It's not much father from there to a dedicated organelle (or cells) the specifically host desired bacteria and all others are killed by the immune system.

And from there the host might incorporate the genes from the bacteria in the same way mitochondria are setup.
lol, you must be in lala land. There are millions of poeple in the United States of America that live in Third World Country like conditions. Unless you're willing to empty your bank account and help them out, this is way it is. That's how the USA got started, that's how China is getting started, that's how Dubai got started. That's reality. The world is not perfect, a shitty job is better than no job.
To play devil's advocate, why is a service like this even necessary anymore?

You don't need a users GeoLocation to find out what timezone they are in. In a web page this information is already available in javascript:

http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_getTimezoneOffset.asp

On the server and your DB you should always store UTC, and your server app should avoid localization if possible, and move all Date-to-String conversion to the client. Then all this timezone nonsense completely disappears.

At least you dropped the "point" that it is OK to hate countries which are tolerated more by the Western world than disgusting dictatorships...

>>Karelia? You think this bears any resemblance to the Palestinian situation

You ignored my point again, but I think you know that.

Both cases were area losses where part of the population left. If anything Karelia was much more unfair.

That it looks very different now, compared to all the other land losses from the same time period, depends probably mostly on the Palestinian suffering made permant -- by the Arab states.

My productivity rules:

1) Produce, don't consume.
2) Achieve small goals.
3) Say no.

I used to work at a place that had a 10 am stand up meeting (once headed by the author of the Information Diet, incidentally). My trick was that I'd try to get in a code commit before that stand up. If I was able to accomplish that I'd be more likely to have a productive day.
Just more evidence that the DMCA is broken. This isn't YouTube's fault, it's a problem of Rumblefish harassing YouTube users.
DAYS ago, I remember the other hacker showed his program about HN recommendation written in Ruby.
Heh. The ghost of Sam Clemens might beg to differ:

"Among the first users was Mark Twain, who fiddled around with it before putting it aside. Yes, Twain did become the first person to submit a novel in typed form to the publisher, but that wasn't until much later ("Life on the Mississippi,"1883) , and he didn't type it himself... it was a typed copy of his handwritten manuscript."[1]

That manuscript was produced at least 8 years after the first Remington model appeared. Although Clemens was clearly a technophile (and pal of Tesla), he considered the first models to be curiosities rather than immediate replacements for pen or pencil and paper.

The relationship is asymmetric though. If you're looking to raise money then you're a salesperson for your startup, selling the idea of whatever you're building to the investor in the hopes that they buy in with their cash and/or time. As a salesperson, you need to converse with the prospect in the manner that is going to win the prospect over. Most prospects don't give you a wonderful list like this with "key tips on how to increase your odds of winning a sale with me".
Thanks for your thoughts. Agree with almost all your points. This just is a tiny side project and we've not gotten around to fine tuning the offering.

And if the 4sq guy's boss lets him spend time to open-source their attempt at this, I don't expect we will. Would be a shame. I'd bet that AskGeo is way higher performance, handles all the corner cases, and would win in a commercial market. But if the 4sq management wants to spend their investor's dollars giving away engineering resources then I suppose our sales will drop off significantly even if our product is better. Hard to compete with a price tag of zero.

That message is anything but passive-aggressive. It's direct, reasonable and courteous.

It's easily possible to interpret it as "we know we're inconveniencing you, and we don't care".
I am pretty sure this amounts to fraud on the part of Rumblefish.
There are fields where well over 30% of published papers are contradicted by the next paper on the same subject. Getting into why this happens with empirical studies of large data-sets is complected, but boils down to looking at enough things until signal is indistinguishable from noise. For a simpler example assume this was actually done and they published their findings: http://xkcd.com/882/ Now assume other than the P>.05 there methods where impeccable what information have you gained?

A) The actually probability that green Jelly beans are actually linked to ACNE is impossible to tell. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayes%27_theorem) You might shift your expectations, but if you do the probability's the shift in expectations is tiny, because there is so much noise.

Now fill a field with that junk and suddenly reading a paper provides vary little information which slows everything down. You can discuss such things but it's about as meaningful as talking about who won the world cup. http://xkcd.com/904/ Worse yet, people rarely publish false results which means even reading a well done study is only meaningful if you can find some other logic to back it up. At which point it might be worth investigating, but the reason it's worth investigating your expectations and has next nothing to do with the paper you just read, and even if you find some deep truth the glory goes to the guy who was publishing noise.

PS: It get's worse. Because, contradicting a study is worth publishing and publishing is a numbers game, you have many people who simply reproduce research to pad their numbers and cut down on clutter. But, if your tolerances are loose enough say P >.05 and you have enough random crap in the hopper every 400 completely random papers can service two rounds of this get a lot of attention only to be discredited.

Edit: This is also why it takes a huge body of background reading and a deep understanding of statistics before you have the context to meaningfully discus a recent paper with a scientist.
WIKILEAKS RELEASE: The Global Intelligence Files. Over 5 million emails
I dispute the existence of "resources" in the abstract sense people are trying to achieve with respect to REST. The web is just a collection of stuff with ephemeral links to go from thing to thing. Obviously, these could be called "resources", but not in the coherent sense implied by REST.
The 60 second challenge thing strikes me as extremely short-sighted. It is impressive to be able to solve a series of tiny bugs with just 60 seconds for each one, but I don't think it's the right metric to find the elusive "10x" programmer.

It's my opinion that "10x" programmers are an order of magnitude faster than their peers not because they are lightning-fast at spitting out code (although they may be). They're faster because they can analyze the problem, drill down to its essence, and come up with an effective plan for solving it. Contrast this with a poor programmer, who might code circles around the problem, wasting time writing code that could just be taken from off the shelf. It doesn't matter if the poor programmer somehow is brilliant at punching out correct code if the code they're punching out didn't need to be written in the first place.

It's like selecting creative writers by holding a contest to see which ones can spot a grammatical mistake the most quickly. Sure, that's a helpful skill for a writer to have, but it doesn't mean that they'll write anything worth reading.

Problem there is that I'm far too lazy to label a bunch of data, this one lets you label data with a simple click. :D
Not everyone is a web developer :). There are tons of sources of geo-tagged data where the time zone is useful. For exsmple, we built it to annotate a database of weather stations with the correct tz ids.
As a member of the last slide rule generation, I agree. The trusty slipstick was a calculation and thinking aid only. By not automatically handling units, for example, it forced you to think through the steps of your calculation. Back then students learned to approximate the result they were expecting.

I wonder how my college students today have already estimated the total of their purchases when they arrive at the cashier. Such thinking doesn't seem to be part of the culture anymore.
Not many graduate students have really substantial industry experience when they start. Internships help a lot, provided the goal is to learn (and not be pressurised to publish papers even there. :))

It was probably unfortunate that you didn't like your experience with your group; but not all groups are like that. It depends on your advisor.

Yes, you have to. :/ I tried to explore ways to grab the data without needing to click it, but I needed a well defined action (going to the next page is valid to me) that would tell the classifier to train on the data. I'll see if I can find multiple ways to direct certain actions to train the classifier.
