I donated some cash because I feel bad, but I hope you've learnt your lesson: Do not base your entire livelyhood at the mercy of anybody but yourself, and especially not a huge corporation.

This also goes for anybody who takes out a mortgage they can't afford. Don't ever get any debt or create any expenses you will no longer be able to pay if you got fired tomorrow.

We have the systems we have now because we used the same medium for thousands of years. To create new expressive mediums that take advantage of computers will take careful design and iteration, just as alphabetic text went through various handscripts like cursive, torturous to read German blackletter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackletter and settled on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_type

Then we went to san serifs (like here on HN) and then to monospaced code fonts. It's a long line and a lot of work by designers.

Adding to this medium will also take a lot of work. An essay can be more expressive when various ideas in it are turned into visualizations. Writers of long novels use special writer software to keep track of which characters interact with what others, to create family charts, friend charts, event timelines, etc.

These don't replace text, they augment it. And it would be interesting to have a macro view of the book through such tools for readers someday.

Not every attempt reduced the expressiveness of code. Syntax highlighting is graphical. Labview is graphical. Short compile cycles so the programmer can see what he's doing is graphical. Great demo of that here https://vimeo.com/36579366

Just because this particular attempt at pretty lisp leaves much to be desired doesn't mean we should stop attempting. Simple programmer tasks like naming can be improved if we move away from plain text as the medium, more detail here http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3633740 and http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3651257
why is anybody even doing these calculations? import an existing datetime library and use it. these problems have been solved, and tested in previous leap years. what's the point in re-solving it?
If upgrading my Linux Kernel will solve all of my problems, why is the experimental comparison between a Linux box and a windows box? Just saying..
He knows a lot about how busy people feel and where the priorities of most people lie, as expressed by their actions, as measured, rather than their words.

He doesn't know a thing about you in particular and doesn't care, because he needs to get it right for most of his customers. Not every single one of his customers. If you don't accept these facts about email marketing, as annoying as the situation may be, you are an outlier.

I also work in online education. We're either competitors or complementary, depending on exactly who you work with.

The list of things I could throw out as features we want to see in online systems, or standalone products that could make a big difference, is long indeed. That list, however, is highly dependent on which class of system you are talking about. Without giving yourself away, could you tell us if you are part of the rebel alliance (khan, udacity, udemy, mitx, etc...) or the dark side (blackboard, d2l, moodle, etc...)?

I won't give away our most interesting upcoming features, but I'm happy to share some things I think all systems should have and few if any do.
Looks interesting, but a bit slow to load.
Maybe a lower resolution photo?
"All the repositories are GPL'd, so I'm assuming they meant build in a purely educational setting."

Um, how about in a hobbyist setting?

Only a small subset of the people who write games are going to make money doing so. Many of them know this and do it just because they enjoy it. (See: Almost any mod community.)
mainly cause I did not have a chance to set up an old Linux VM. The number hold though, the initial congestion window is 2-3 on the 2 line kernels.
He did say that were it up to him he'd build it in Hawaii, which would if anything have the opposite set of problems.

You don't stop crazy people by strip-searching them. You stop them by asking them questions to detect the crazy ones. The TSA focuses on the mechanism instead of the person, and that never works. There's a reason israel's airports are safe from terrorism, and it's not because of fancy body scanners.
Of course there is Windows desktop that does not have such limitations and a much broader distribution that any other platform.
I'd like to see online "textbooks" that can be bookmarked, commented upon, annotated etc. The textbooks will have animated graphics and interactive exercises inlined along with the text (i.e., the ideal that applets tried to achieve in education will be realized). You will be able to collapse and expand the textbooks to summary/comprehensive level depending on your inclination to read large amounts of text. The possibilities are endless: the texts can have pop quizzes to test your understanding, you can have collaboration built into the text where you ask your fellow students/teachers questions on sections of the text (see the Django book http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/ for an example). Etc.
Diversification really helps. Basing something on a single platform, particularly one that is so tighly controlled is suicidal.
If they're telling the truth, then I don't think so:

"The Foundation continues to make a small profit from each Raspberry Pi sold, which we’ll be putting straight back into the charity."
Let's be honest here: is not a startup based upon putting your entire livelihood at the mercy of a few small actors? That first customer, that first investor, that first employee, that first acquisition offer? Of course, we take measures to try to minimize the impact any one party, deal, or decision has on our overall success, but the fact is that there are often choke points in building a business or company where you do have to put all your eggs in one or two baskets. Not sure if that's the case here, but it's certainly not a hard and fast rule that you always have to avoid taking "all-in" risks. (Though maybe that's more the case if you have a family to feed and insufficient savings to avoid the fall...)
202 on my g2. Now we need a leaderboard. Fun though, great to see it!
This isn't my website, but I do run Octopress (built on Jekyll) on my blog: http://saewitz.com
Looking at the app he used for bottle, it only replies (dynamically) on /hello/:name .. the others (Sinatra, Node), are configured to reply on "/" as the route. Is that the reason he got such consistently bad results for bottle? Did he adjust the route used? Would like to see an actual equivalent "/" = "Hello World" app tested..
But isn't he 'selling' something (software) in return for those 'donations'?
I don't disagree, but it makes it an apples an oranges comparison. It introduces the variables of how linux vs windows deals with TCP (not withstanding that linux 2.x vs 3. might have some internal ipv4 changes, but youre recommendation is to upgrade anyway, so that's fine) but also changes in the webserver.. It seems like the changes are hard coded into the compiled kernel, so there's no way to simply change configuration flags?

That said, thanks for the post, and I'll definitely be tcpdumping in the upcoming week and reading some more about slowstart!

Maybe testing with net.ipv4.tcp_slow_start_after_idle 0 vs 1 would make a cleaner comparison?
You may want to look into "computercraft" http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/892282-11-computercraft-... which you can add right now! But I agree it needs to be more than just a terminal - it needs to have the feeling of crafting/building structures. Even if you could "zoom in" with a crafted microscope or something and then create circuits which you can then connect to larger sensors/peripherals.
"Do not base your entire livelyhood at the mercy of anybody but yourself, and especially not a huge corporation."

This seems to apply to a vast, vast majority of the population... In our little tech/entrepreneur bubble, we're the exception, not the rule, in that we can generate income largely by ourselves.

Has anyone proven that open-sourcing leads to profit loss from competition? I was on one of the dozen Stack-Exchange competitors today and it made me wonder. Stack-Exchange isn't open source, yet plenty copied.
Based on the comments on the iBooks DRM thread, mass media has a very small tail:
http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3633839

I think a lot of people want to keep up with the latest media, and there are lots of social reasons to do so. The latest TV shows, movies, and books will be the ones your friends are watching/reading. As xkcd eloquently put it:
http://xkcd.com/606/

This points out one more factor: content prices decrease dramatically after several years. Videogames go from $60 to $10 on Steam; Movies end up in discount bins; books end up cheap on amazon or from used bookstores.

Books are an interesting example: when they are first published it is difficult to acquire them at a local library (because lots of other people want to read the same new book), but after some time (usually much less than a year), they are easily acquirable for free. If the library model works, such that authors are satisfied with the profitability of writing books, then reducing copyright term to a few years
is probably reasonable.

EDIT: I personally think somewhere around 10 years is probably more reasonable, but I think the discussion around a more extreme 2-5 years is interesting, and the current term length is ridiculous.
As you might expect, I disagree. To me, the context of Apple's past actions with respect to the App Store and ebooks is very relevant. And that is something Seth's post doesn't have.
I was hoping to hear a little more technical apology from Microsoft. For a suit, reading what the VP posted might make sense, but for a techie like myself I really need to know that the platform is mature and stable. A detailed description of the problem helps me judge.
Really? ANOTHER jQuery intro? How about just RTFM, since it covers way more than this ever would. Anyone serious about jQuery is going to end up using it anyway, so let's cut to the chase.

It seems like a jerky thing to say. However, by the looks of things, OP had a couple of years to save up for a rainy day.

I'm willing to grant that apple is horrible, evil, son of the devil, voted for Palin, whatever. but really, is this any worse than a car accident or a heart attack?
"Apple removed my software (how I pay the bills) from the Mac App Store"

"We've lost nearly half a month of income (so far) due to this and there is also some question as to when we might hope to see payment from Apple for the previous month's (January) software sales. It looks like that may not happen any time soon. (This isn't the only case where Apple has hurt people who do things right lately.)"

So the individual hasn't seen a check for 2 months. We are a nation that loves to buy more than we can afford. Why should I feel sorry and bail someone out for making poor choices prior to this two month period of suckiness handed down by Apple?

I am taking it as an opportunity to remind people. That rainy days happen. And it's best if you plan in advance. However, we as a society would rather buy a brand new iPad 3 instead of put money in the bank.

International car shipping from USA
When choosing the services of international car shipping company, you have to be confident that the company is offering container shipping services so that you feel relaxed that your car will be shipped safe and secured to the desired destination.
I totally agree with the concern, but the only way for a clean comparison here would be for me to spin up a new VM. I observe the exact same patterns as I get from the windows VM on our Linux 2.x prod box so assume they are the same.

There were a slew of TCP changes leading up to the 3 branch which included changing the default congestion control algorithm to cubic.

slow start after idle does not really play part here. The test is for a clean/new connection.

I am no expert but it is possible I could lower my IW on my 3.2 box to 3 to demonstrate the same pattern, however that too is not a clean comparison.

If my sys admins push me I may set up another VM to demonstrate this.

Actually, I got bored by Dragon Age I really quick. The writing was okay, but the characters were (visually) stiff and off-putting. Also if I have to play another RPG where I have to micromanage my inventory of a group of six characters, I'll start a career in accounting.

Also, I think that any story involving dragons has been told to death.

Ask HN: Can I please have a "Mark All as Read" button or link?
I've trained myself good enough to skim and read only the articles that I want to read on HackerNews. However, the ones I skip (didn't clicked) remains lurking around as unread. I just wish it will be way pleasing to the eye if I can have a link or a button that can do a "Mark All as Read".

Thanking in anticipation to anyone who might build a Chrome Plugin of sort, if not officially from Hackernews.
Windows only?!!! What did you expect from Microsoft? I don't see why it would spend time developing game for another platform and then give it awayt for free.
Neither does that ^^.
I run my own company, and I often go into the red for months at a time. I agree, you need to account for worst case scenarios.
By this logic, you will never need technical books, only manuals.

I think a introduction could be great for someone who is beginner and want to start from the ground up. If you send them to api.jquery.com, they will get completely lost. You are understimating the amount of knowledge required to get started with jQuery (you have to know HTML, CSS selectors, JavaScript and then the actual jQuery)

I think it is a lack of creativity. Also a lack of serious attempts and minimal refinement in successful attempts like labview.

Take the simple case of naming. In plain text, the name of a function is its unique ID, more or less. Some language cultures love long descriptive names like BattleResourceMediator.getMediatorInstance(). Well such names can be broken up into tags. [Battle Resource] [Mediator].[get][Mediator][Instance]. Then when you don't need to know it's a mediator instance you'll see [Battle Resource].[get]. If you need to see what's a mediator and what's a factory, turn on some deeper editing mode and swim in verbose boilerplate.

You're not going far from text, just augmenting it with simple ideas we use in bookmarking. You can go further, add tags to sections of code to rate and label it as readable, hand optimized, quick & dirty, reviewed, etc. Simply a better UI for documentation, so in a zoomed out view of a project you can see at a glance how much is hand optimized.

Also watch this video https://vimeo.com/36579366 and notice the sorting code walkthrough. A simple case of refinement where you put output side by side next to the code and format it properly. We'll need a lot more refinements like this, which means more attempts, more creativity.
Have you read the docs, ever? They have any implementation you'd need. Want to write a plugin? There's a document for it. Plus the comments are actually useful.

In my opinion it's even more irresponsible to not have such savings when you're raising a family. Maybe they had some big medical expenses but to be in such dire straits after 2 months is indicative of some poor planning either way.

Apple software distribution system is a feudal system where, unfortunately, programmer is a peasant.
4G Router - Wireless 4G Mobile Broadband
It's closer to Uber than Taskrabbit, conceptually.
The interesting thing about python is that while it's fast to start, it can be slow to stop. I've certainly seen that in CPython, I don't know if it's something that affects PyPy as well.
I am familiar with the docs, thank you.

Let's say, I am a beginner who knows little bit of HTML. Little bit of CSS. How do you suggest I use api.jquery.com to learn jQuery?

If you linked to http://docs.jquery.com/How_jQuery_Works , it would still make sense.

None the less, I don't think there can be too many tutorials teaching various technologies. If you don't like them, don't read them.
Expresso is a nice idea. Somebody should fill this vacuum, definitely.
Two things.

1. The good doctor is awesome.

2. It's not worth enduring weeks crap to enjoy one AMA. Block reddit, read HN (maybe, it has been kinda marginal, but higher s2n than reddit).

tl'dr reddit signal to noise is very very low. quality content is an anomaly. just block it.
broader distribution than any other platform, except the web.
I'm curious, is there a reason to allow people to re-license the code instead of simply modifying it to BSD/MIT or some such permissive license.

Anyway, thanks for sharing.

I too would like to know your experiences as far as the business side is concerned.

Have you seen Code Bubbles? http://www.andrewbragdon.com/codebubbles_site.asp
That's the thing I don't understand. Why some developers are so prone to the naive following the latest fashion... I mean really.

Look, why to spend any time writing software that might be just killed overnight by a big faceless corporation? The same Apple Fan Boys who hate Adobe Flash because it is "closed" and not html5 "standard" as were told by their guru are at the very same time so heavily invested in Apple Corp closed eco-system that is just so much worse than anything that Adobe does.

I just don't get it.
Daniel Robbins uses this
Great in theory, but there really isn't a good way to diversify if you're making apps. Yes there's Android, and some apps can make as much or more money on Android, but even if the app is making the same amount on both platforms, iOS kicking you out for no good reason could cut your income in half, which can put a company out of business almost as quickly as cutting off all of their money, if they've grown it based on what they believe to be a steady income stream.
Please remember kids, language X implemented in language Y, probably means language X > language Y. (And if you question this, first implement a small, elegant language, and a large "pragmatic" one and then talk to me about it.)
The repeated comparison with Microsoft's "former" evil lacks perspective. Microsoft aimed higher and sought to pretty much own the entire ecosystem and everything in it. You don't need to kill of someone's revenue stream if you've taken said someone out of the equation entirely.

The painful difference is, where Microsoft actively aimed for the big game, leaving most smaller businesses to do as they please as long as they stayed small, the automated systems build to control rather than own the ecosystem (i.e. app stores) hurt everyone equally.

This leads to painful stories about big evil Apple/Google/eBay hurting the little guy. It sucks, it's a very worrying trend and I agree we should be pushing back.

But it's still nowhere near as "evil" as MS former dominance, when the options were a) build for Windows and get killed by MS if you become to big, or b)... Oh wait, there was no other option.

I've read that, in order to get the #1 slot in "top grossing" for iOS apps, you need to be earning between $40k-$100k per day.

The publisher I'm working with has been sitting on an app that's been in the top 5 grossing for 5-6 months.

Sounds like a more fun version of Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study, where they threw the greatest minds in science into one location with no responsibilities, and it was, according to Richard Hamming, a disaster.

Is it obvious? My very first paid programming job was on a Mac (and Windows) game published by Microsoft.

On the other hand, it's possible that the second one of those was the last Mac game published by Microsoft as well.
Building Expression Evaluator with Expression Trees in C# - Part 1
I don't mind derivative posts as long as they provide valuable insight. 4 sentences 3 of which are questions and a short quote look like a typical lazy linkbait. Provide your opinion, get deeper into the problem, bring actual value; what you posted could as well be a tweet "hey, read this [link] whatcha think? leave a comment". YMMV, I expect more from bloggers (especially linked on HN).
