That's the problem though isn't it. The buffers absorb the packets, preventing packet loss, and TCP performance goes down. Adding more initial packets puts more data in flight, more traffic uses intermediate buffers quicker. This tactic seems like it would accelerate buffer issues.

Like someone said in the comments on the article, I'd like to see Van Jacobson's or someone similar's thoughts.
Germany, Regensburg - part-time or intern

Kinetiqa is a small but well-established web development company in southern Germany.

We're looking for an intern or part-time web developer to aid our team in several projects, e.g. HTML wireframing for large websites, development on our PHP-based CMS or extending several Django applications. Unfortunately, German language is a must. Apart from that we're very flexible and open.

Hiring:

* Director of Growth

- We're bootstrapped and profitable

- We test EVERYTHING. We encourage creative, quirky ideas as much as we do logic and efficiency; especially when both are combined.

Haha, thanks for the warning. I am reminded of another time I ended up abusing the Landau notation in a numerical analysis class ( was it probability?) some years ago. The homework was to get and N^2log(N) algorithm of some kind, but I became concerned about certain large constant factors which I could determine exactly. However, these constant factor could be written as a series in another parameter, which I couldn't approximate in a certain limit and... well, you see where I'm going. There where lots of O's with slightly different semantics on the same paper.

I love to develop with perl, but unicode-related stuff was always frustrating for me. Probably because I deal with it so rarely and everytime I have to look documentation to find out how to read unicode file, run regexps on unicode strings, etc.

I am wondering, how other major languages deal with unicode? Is there language which work with unicode files/text transparently without /me involving into setting something differently from defaults?
To throw a point out there, fogbugz/Jira quickly starts to "grow" into the 1000+ range once it has over 20+ users.

The key though is that they usually start as something used by a small group of folks and then grows as more folks realize it has some niceities over the open-source solutions. It also means however that Fog Creek/Atlassian do have a sales force that will call you over the phone, personally answer your questions, and sometimes negotiate on price.

Good article! I read this article and was glad. I am pleased that we are moving in the right direction. We watched as our competitors sell Coverity (http://www.coverity.com/) and Klocwork (http://www.klocwork.com/). The process is very complicated. We (http://www.viva64.com/) have avoided almost all of the items listed in the article. Cool.
"This is true, but there's no reason it has to be paid by selling our attention. I'd rather use money."

My attention is a commodity I have great control over.
My money has less fluidity and I'd rather get some interest on it. Especially when new products are constantly created and they are sold to me in tiny modules preventing me from estimating how much money I will need throughout my lifetime to cover the cost of all my needs/desires.

But here is a fixed currency based model which maybe could work 100 years in the future:

Everybody pays a "technology tax" that's a fixed monthly or annual cost (maybe it's attached to your ISP bill). This tax then goes into a fund that tech companies (Apples and Googles of the world) can access and withdraw money out of based on the services they offer. Maybe they'd have to get audited on how many users they have and what type of services they take advantage of, and some independent auditor would try and attach a dollar value to this effort giving the techs the ability to withdraw that amount from the "tax fund".

Most people wouldn't ever upload anything illegal directly anyway. They compress it, split it up and then put a password on the whole thing. Theres no way to tell whats in the files then. MegaUpload was already going way beyond DMCA by letting them delete everything per their wishes.
code snippets tends to be long. so they have font-size: 65% for <code>

I've found increasing font is required anyway, since my browser default font size a bit small for my screen resolution.

Increasing font size is quite easy in most browsers. Hold Ctrl key and use mouse wheel to adjust size. This is per-site setting in most browsers I believe.
I come from an industry (AEC) where software tools all (in the reganwald sense) fall into that gap and somebody (again in the reganwald sense) uses them.

Why?

Because the industry leader, Autodesk, bought into $75,000 a pop software concepts from day one in the early days of PC's. They had a mini-computer model rather than a scaled up Apple II approach. Timing helped as well, early versions at $2000 a copy were not driving the total cost when the hardware was three times as much.

Now their products and those of their serious competitors all fit in the gap between roughly $2500 and $6000 a license. Those price points are pretty common among scheduling and project management software for construction contractors as well.

Not to say that I don't get Reganwald's point.
And the time you spent reading a book or watching TV or programming could also instead be spent preserving human life.

Show HN: My never ending weekend project - recikeep.com
I'm nearing the finish line on a side-project that has taken me longer than I care to admit. I'd really like to get some feedback from you guys if you would:

http://recikeep.com

The site is centered around a bookmarklet with some extra server-side processing. You "recikeep" a recipe and the ingredients are all parsed out into Qty/Measure/Ingredient/Prep (as best as I can), and then you build menus from what you have kept. Since the ingredients are parsed out, I can generate a shopping list from your menu that's a combination of all of the ingredients across the recipes.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
1. It is not stealing. This is well established. Stop using hyperbolic language to hysterically whine and force your moralistic crap down our throats.

2. Your Amish analogy is a strawman.

3. Whether Kim is breaking a law or not is not the point of this dicussion (another strawman here): the discussion is does the (il)leagailty of it make sense? Laws are not permanent nor are they absolute. We theoretically live in a society that is based on the will of the people, so lets talk about what make sense to our society.

4. Amazing improbable thinking does not grant one rights to someone else's pocketbook. Much like people should pay for stuff, by the same token, saying they should then suing them for actions they didn't and may never have taken is absurd. I should get paid $1 per read of this comment, there HN readers owe me a few $K.

5. Wow, I really fed this troll didn't I?
I said "ignoring the type system for the moment" specifically because I wanted to exclude the type system from the following observation, since I don't have the type-theoretical background necessary to make a proper critique (and people far more intelligent than me have already bemoaned it[1]).

I agree that Dart's features seem sort of "stale" (or perhaps "safe" would be a less inflammatory word). Language design from 10 years ago indeed, although it's still a young language, so I'm willing to give it time to evolve.

In my defense, "reasonably competent" wasn't exactly intended as praise. I do have issues with the things presented in the overview, but at the time I wrote that comment there were no other comments on this article, and I felt that I'd be wasting my time by enumerating them. :P

Salt Lake City, UT. - http://www.lucidchart.com

LucidChart is an HTML5 diagramming application that proves web apps don't need to be pale imitations of their full-featured desktop counterparts. Real-time collaboration and full versioning history aren't our only advantages; users tell us they like LucidChart because it's faster, easier, and smoother than Visio and Omnigraffle.

We need great engineers who want to work in a Silicon Valley startup, but would rather live 15 minutes from the ski resorts in Utah. We have one of the largest Javascript codebases on the Internet supporting LucidChart's client, and are using Scala, PHP, node.js, MongoDB, and MySQL to power our servers. Experience in one or more of these areas is helpful, but we're most interested in people with inhuman problem solving skills.

We currently have 8 full-time employees, including 5 engineers. That ratio reflects the focus of our organization -- we are a software company, and we live or die on the strength of our engineering team. We think we have the strongest engineering team in Utah, and want to add at least 3-5 people this year.

All hires are made by unanimous decision of the current team. If you join us, you can know that everyone here wants you here.

Top Most Smartphones of Mobile World Congress 2012
following is the list of top most Smartphones that were presented in Mobile World Congress 2012.
> Generally, when you move up the curve, there's a way to serialize it as text.

Agreed. I think this has something to do with the fact that programming is not about the objects on screen themselves, it's about the interaction that occurs between those objects and the mind of the person looking at them. The objects are not real, but mere representations.

Therefore, the interaction I have with a block of code is defined by my experience wrestling with the problem at hand in the language of that block, during which my brain has "mapped" from the text to a sort of abstract visualization of its value (or "serialized", as you put it).

I don't think a tool that makes a "picture-block" for me will ever help. My brain has to do the work of understanding those blocks by compressing each text block into a form (block? graph node? neither?) that I can hold in my head.

Strangely enough, if the above is correct, that means that there is more value in implementing a tool like this (for the implementor) in $LANGUAGE than there is for a potential user. Perhaps this is why programmers keep writing them, and users keep on not using them.

As the user, I need to learn something either way, and learning is usually hard/expensive. Therefore, why learn the (imperfectly-mapped) "picture-block" abstraction at all?

It'd be interesting to see if programmers feel the need to keep using these sorts of tools them once they've written them. My guess is no.
