Well, I think putting that sort of thing out there is pretty admirable, too (as long as you know that it's not the best thing on the planet). Getting helpful and constructive criticism is one of the best things that can happen to programmers - especially ones without formal training. And besides, you can always delete github repositories.

The problem I have with this article, and any discussion that simply involves "the rich" is that it doesn't distinguish between the true innovators (to be trite, the Steve Jobs' of the world) and the (much larger) financializers, who truly do not generate any wealth, but rather suck productive and innovative capacity dry.

Steve Jobs gave us plenty even if he had never paid a dime in taxes.

Hank Paulson ate arbitrage for decades, then bailed out the banks after exactly the policies he advocated for collapsed on themselves, and should be in jail.

If you don't distinguish between these two types of rich, you are being stupid.

My 2560x1600 HP monitor disagrees with you. (Affording it is a different matter.) The trend of replacing 16:10 monitors with lower-res 16:9 models is disturbing, though.
Is your software and the dataset it uses publicly available?

If so, perhaps it would be possible to use it to engineer countermeasures. In the example you used ("since" vs "because"), it would be fairly simple to alter the ratio.

Of course I don't know what more complex indicators you may be using, but I'm having a hard time imagining what would be easy to measure, but difficult to alter.
An FPGA can't compete with a dedicated chip. The additional hardware switches and routing layers needed to make an FPGA programmable means that there's a limit to how fast it can go and how much logic you can pack per square millimeter. What you can do is use an FPGA to validate the design and then convert it to an ASIC if the market can justify the costs involved.
YC S12 Single Founders Wanted
Applications for YC S12 are due in five weeks. I suspect there are many great people here wanting to start a venture. However many of us may lack an idea or prototype to apply with. Others may be in need of a founding partner. I know that it is risky to apply with someone you barely know but marriages do follow from speed dating, after all. The best example of founder speed dating I can think of is Drew Houston and Arash Ferdowsi deciding to apply to YC after meeting twice to start Dropbox [1]. So, who is in need of a product idea or a cofounder before applying to YC?

Please tell what you can offer to your founder match.

And how is it worth $50k to make it harder to raise the $500k+ you'll probably need to build your company?
I took 10 semesters of 'math' in college, was on a 'math' team in high school, and got a 780 on the 'math' SATs. Yet by the OP's definition, I don't know any Math because I'm not doing his definition of Math.

That's like arguing that you can't swim unless you are an Olympic swimmer. I can't do the back stroke like Michael Phelps, but I sure can swim.

High school math - at least for most - includes Calculus 1. Yes, that involves memorizing integrals and using them later. But if you are going to be that flippant about it, basically what you can marginalize everything. Organic chemistry? Meh, that's just a bunch of memorizing compounds, it is not more difficult than 1st grade memorization of multiplication tables. Anatomy? Ha, that's child's play, it's just like memorizing the names of colors.

I have 3 brilliant ideas: 1 incredibly complex but written in such detail with so many connecting points --you'll love it. The other so effing simple that it's got EASY capability of making around 4 billion a year.. by the second year. This is not a joke. And the third one I'm still mulling over in my mind, once I figure out the mechanics it also will be pretty freakin awesome

So for idea one and two, need developer/engineer, coders
Same way you work any business model projections, pull it out of your....

It's really not a bad idea to set up a business model with a set of variables defined from which you base your projections. When I do this, I make it very easy to drop in actuals and have the projections auto updated based on the collected metrics over the original projected ones.
If you use i, you're a bad programmer. You can't search for the variable name, you can't make sure it is used correctly everywhere. You're a bad person.
That has to be a joke.
Is this Orkut after the Brazilians have left?
Well, if you've ever had to write a business plan, you'll agree the projections for a startup end up being complete BS, but they make investors feel safe looking at a 20+ page document with lots of charts and numbers.

That said, business plans can be useful and help the founders solidify their business model, predict costs, etc. If anything, it helps you get a vague idea of what to expect a few years down the road instead of just the next 60 days.

This sounds about right, if not a little earlier. Experimental work for this was done by me here: https://github.com/ianvanness/html5history

I believe there were further tweaks for additional pages that needed to be supported (whereas I had only solved, and most likely not very elegantly, the rudimentary issue) that took additional time before the hash bang removal was actually launched.

Does anyone know what those panels cost compared to the old ones? Is a 13 inch or a 15 inch panel more likely to show up first? Is a 13 inch panel even feasible?

2880x1800 is seriously crazy, that would be 255 ppi on a 13 inch screen, 50 ppi more than previous commercially available and extremely expensive high-ppi screens (excluding really small screens for phones and the like), like this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_T220/T221_LCD_monitors

Is it even possible to build those panels with the same thinness that they would fit? Oh, and will Ivy Bridge be able to deal with that kind of screen? If not, we can be fairly certain that there will be no Retina MacBook Air. There is just no space for a dedicated GPU on that logic board.

Hm, I guess if a Retina iPad is possible (263 ppi, by the way, and that one seems like a certainty) then a 13 inch screen can’t be all that harder. And if the iPad hardware can deal with that screen (presumably while keeping the battery runtime, performance and size the same – I can’t imagine Apple sacrificing any of that) a desktop GPU – even an integrated one – should be able to deal with it, too.

The price will be interesting, too. It seems inconceivable that Apple will be able to sell a Retina iPad for $500. The current iPad has an IPS screen and that – the high quality screen with wide viewing angles – is one of its headline features. The next iPad would then also have to have an IPS Panel that is of the same or better quality and also Retina. I’m looking forward to see how Apple will deal with that. (The same applies to the Mac, too.)

Isn't this really more about OCD-ish behaviors than notifications? There's no good reason you have to act on every notification you receive unless you want to. In most cases you have a choice to even receive the notifications in the first place. Notifications are great if they are used responsibility. To me this is just part of a bigger trend where it seems to be socially acceptable to use technology as an excuse to justify bad behaviors.
In racket, I'd write something like

(argmax (λ(c) (string-length (customer-name c)))
customers)

http://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/pairs.html?q=argmax#(d...)

Haskell has argmaxBy:
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/list-extras/0.3....

If your language doesn't have argmax, fold the list with the best value, like this in lisp:

(define (my-argmax fun lst)
(foldl (λ(prev-max elt)
(if (< (fun prev-max) (fun elt))
elt
prev-max))
(car lst)
(cdr lst)))

No extra space usage, no temporary values, no sorting; all in O(N) time. :)
I suppose I should have been clearer.

Higher res monitors are available, but almost all of them are Apple monitors for Apple computers. Monitors from other manufacturers basically sprinted up to 1920x1080 because that was enough for HD.

Now monitors are being sold by size and price. That is, they're being used as TVs you attach to a PC.

What I want is the old arms race back. I want people to brag about the new super-duper res monitor they just bought. Companies to announce incremental improvements every few months.
Here is a scenario, and my mac is a month old, so maybe I am borrowing heavily from Ubuntu and MS experiences. When I am reading two pdfs, and then close one, it makes sense for the preview menu to stay on because I am reading the second pdf, but when I close the second, what reason is there for preview menu to stay up?

Edit: As to my original comment, when I switch to another app, preview stays open, but up to now I don't know how to close it because I can't get the menu to appear without a pdf or something using it, that's why I reopen a document, forcing the menu to show up, then close the app.
That's a good question. I thought it was just the link pointer, but I pointed at a link and the actual pointer only had the index finger extended. But according to Wikipedia, the actual gesture doesn't use the thumb.

... I know that 3 is not literally function in the Haskell type system but it's an easy way to explain it to people less familiar with the language (not that I assume freyrs3 is one of those).

Also, while it might be true that "people who don't know much about Haskell" often say that everything is a function, it's also the case that people who do know a lot about the language find the notion to be pedagogically useful: On page 13 of The Haskell School of Expression, Paul Hudak offers that pi (which is of type Floating a => a and thus clearly not a function) "can be thought of as a function with no arguments".
And your point is right because I would not have been able to do Calc I if I did not know Trig and Algebra. The same way that I would not have been able to do Algebra without without basic math. I hate memorization and prefer immersion, but it was important to remember how to do that stuff because it was needed later on.

I love the more logical side of math that does not even deal with that many numbers (which is why I am majoring in), but the stuff in school is definitely maths. The way it is taught is questionable, but it should not be dismissed.
The fallback is a normal web request and page refresh. This seems far more caring for all of their users than the high load that the hash-bang design placed on client computers.

It's a slippery slope to have teams fire-walled and competing with each other. We hear stories from the Dropbox guys that One Apple team invited them over to ask how they hacked the finder, because they didn't have access to the functionality that dropbox reverse engineered. As a recent grad at Motorola, I once heard similar stories about Motorola's PCS and semiconductor groups 10 years ago.

http://www.w3.org/P3P/

Particularly

After a successful Last Call, the P3P Working Group decided to publish the P3P 1.1 Specification as a Working Group Note to give P3P 1.1 a provisionally final state. The P3P Specification Working Group took this step as there was insufficient support from current Browser implementers for the implementation of P3P 1.1. The P3P 1.1 Working Group Note contains all changes from the P3P 1.1 Last Call. The Group thinks that P3P 1.1 is now ready for implementation. It is not excluded that W3C will push P3P 1.1 until Recommendation if there is sufficient support for implementation.

This is the last update from the group that was posted in 2006. It's never been pushed by the W3C, and the browser creators never implemented it.

I think by function you really mean "thunk", which is just the name for an unevaluated expression. A thunk is really just an implementation detail while a function has important semantic meaning (it is a mapping from values of one type to values of another).

A thunk can be thought of as a procedure with no arguments (taking some terminology from SICP), and in JavaScript procedures are called "functions", but using JavaScript's terminology in a Haskell context gets confusing.

Additionally, it wouldn't even be correct to say all Haskell values are thunks. You actually have a fair bit of control over this and can have strict, unboxed elements and the like with GHC. A different compiler could implement the non-strict semantic in a different way.
But what size is that screen? That’s the problem.

Screen sizes have increased (or rather: it’s now affordable to buy a larger screen). A 27 inch panel with your resolution has the same old and boring ppi like a 17 inch screen with 1600x900 pixels.

The screens Apple seems to want to build into their Macs would double that ppi count. That’s what would be great.
1) you don't need $500k+ in funding to build a successful software company.

2) this is especially true living in a part of the country with a reasonable cost of living. Somewhere like Missouri, $50k is two reasonable years of runway for a single 20-something (even in a metro area like St Louis, you'll be able to rent for ~$400 .)

3) it's pretty ridiculous (and arrogant) to assume that nowhere else in the country can you get investors.

I don't think anyone sees 3-5 year plans as promises, more as the fact that you've thought about what your company will be doing in 3-5 years.

Yes technology is impossible to predict but they want to see that you've given it more thought then, we don't need revenue Google buys us in year 2!!!1!
Yes. V8 and other JS compilers optimize tail calls, but it's not guaranteed by the standard. (i think IE doesn't, for example)

no joke, I'm also a little confused.
Sure. Makes sense. The question really is about whether or not some of these applications can tolerate errors in the order of 1%. I contend that those application are few and far between, particularly in this day and age. People don't want to go backwards.

For example, I can do photorealistic rendering of mechanical models from Solidworks. A 1% error in the output of these calculations would not be acceptable. The quality of the images would not be the same. Play with this in Photoshop and see what 1 1% error means to images. I would have zero interest in a graphics card that ran faster, used less power but offered a 1% error in calculations. That's an instant deal breaker.

I can see the competitors' marketing: "Buy the other brand if you want 1% errors".

Does a radiologist care about the processing of an MRI happening faster? Sure. Can he/she tolerate a 1% error in the resulting images? Probably not. He probably wants more detail and resolution rather than less. I wouldn't want him/her to be evaluating MRI's with a baked-in 1% error. I think it is ridiculous to think that this sort of thing is actually useful outside of a very narrow field within which errors would be OK.

I'm still waiting for someone to rattle-off 100 to 1,000 applications where this would be actually acceptable. Without that it is nothing more than a fun lab experiment with lots of funding to burn but no real-world utility.

Let's check in ten years and see where it's gone.

Yes, that sounds great. SHA-1 is officially deprecated, but there aren't known weaknesses with using it in PBKDF2 and HMAC. Still, prefer SHA-2 ("SHA-256" or "SHA-512") if it's available.

Be sure you specify an iteration count high enough to consume noticeable time (it should hurt a little bit) and store that count with the salt.

St. Louis has the wrong understanding of the problem. Money isn't the solution to building a tech community. Funding isn't usually the issue in getting a startup off the ground.

The development of the tech community is how you entice entrepreneurs and technologists to your area. Entrepreneurs and developers flock to where there is a community of like minded individuals. Build the community and the people will come. Once the people come, the capital will come.

Look at what NYC is doing. They are building a tech community that rivals Silicon Valley out of the ashes of former investment banking software engineers. The city government is actively supporting groups like New York Tech Meetup and General Assembly. They are nurturing the tech community and encouraging them to grow roots in the city.

St. Louis needs to work on this rather than just throw money at the problem.
I meant function in the same sense that JavaScript means function which is not the same as what Haskell considers to be a function (since JS functions don't have to return a value). I should have been more precise.
I'm not going to defend the merits of moving a startup to STL, but I think this post says more about you than the city.
That was a quote from a quant who works at a major bank in Atlanta. Odd thing to downvote.

They're hiring btw, can't find enough C++ programmers who want to be paid 6 figures.
(disclaimer: I go to Saint Louis University, but spent last semester in SF)

I don't know what you're talking about - it's really not that bad.

For example: the STLJS meetup just started less than a year ago and had over 50 people at our last meetup. Granted - it's not SF or SValley, but it's not the hell hole you make it out to be. There are some of the most genuine and kind people I've ever met that are here in STL.

We're not a bunch of dumbfucks. Hell - WashU is ranked the 14th best university in the country. I'm not one that thinks a great school is equivalent to intelligence, but c'mon - there are people here that think. A lot of them. Just not the same way a bunch of HNers do.

It's just a different culture here. People are much more corporate and family-focused, which isn't a bad thing to a lot of people.

With that being said, StartupWeekendSTL was here a few weeks ago, and there were too many people to fit in the place we had. It was awesome!

Think what you want, but if you really think St. Louis is that bad, then you're just not reaching out for the culture you're looking for, sorry.
Math is a lot easier to do independently than Physics though. Maybe it is different for pure mathematics, but applied mathematics can be used independently and in class without going to grad school. It is like someone going to school for programming and learning different programming languages, but never really doing to much with it. It would be up to that person to do some independent projects for themselves and the same with applied mathematics.

I don't even think a degree in physics or pure mathematics is even worth much by themselves without grad school.

It's really just an abuse of language. When the financial press (or, worse, the general press) writes of "profits", they often implicitly mean "short-term profits", but that's not the same thing. In particular, Apple doesn't ignore profit; they just recognize that maximizing profit is not the same as maximizing short-term profit.

The market cap of a company reflects the market's opinion on the discounted value of future cashflow. This means that a company can't generally boost its market cap any way other than increasing its profits.

I have no idea what cultural rock you have lived under, St Louis is a city like any other. If you make an effort to look for it, it does indeed a cultural scene (St Louis symphony, Fox theater), and an intellectual scene (Washington University.)
