The whole concept of not trusting the applications you run is actually fairly recent I would argue less then the past decade.

Early security was about not trusting other people, and thus passwords & authentication was developed. Then with the rise of closed source off the shelf apps and viruses came anti-virus software. But this was protecting you against the distribution channel. As most malware at the time was purely malware (although potentially infecting useful software).

The problem is now we have malware that is also the software your wanting to run. While Sandboxing and such have been Computer Science concepts for decades (so has pretty much everything "new") its only now becoming important enough to consumers & business that it is being used. The initial implementations are quite poor because they have to be backwards compatible with codebases that are often decades old (Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Office, etc).

Security is really hard to do well, and almost impossible in a completely backwards compatible way. iOS and Android will be the first platforms who are able to fix this because they are less burdened by the weight of legacy software. In a walled garden it is quiet easy to break compatibility and demand a rebuild, as long as you don't piss the developers off too much and make sure the change isn't TOO difficult you will generally get it done with a bit of complaints.

This. It seems like new features are developed, but it takes decades for the good ones to rise to the top and end up being implemented. And the academic model, of applications for grant funding works quite well for just these sort of advancements, at least in other fields. Somebody who has the money and time to put together a grant program targeting improvements in both programming languages and, perhaps more importantly, real world user experiments in the design of programming languages, could really make a difference. There is no inherent reason that that the decades for useful feature implementation couldn't be reduced significantly, given a moderate source of funding, a good journal community, and better research methodologies.
Here's the support article from google which describes why viewcounts become frozen around the 300 mark:

Everything has overhead and the only way to control it is to have options that fit your proposed work load and then optimize based on empirical evidence. If however your only option is the callback, then you have no way to work around its overhead.

Additionally, callbacks have the same amount of overhead but it's not constant because you have to create a side-channel for the state management. That means, instead of a simpler stack for keeping the state, you have to have a periodic stack + a structure or object for all the state even when the callback isn't active.

In the phrase "all's fair in love and war", love and war aren't (or at least shouldn't) be meant metaphorically. This isn't war and it sure isn't love. (Which also isn't referring to the full set of the million things "love" can mean but specifically to romance.)
Only tangentially related, but it really bugs me how these vehicles are being marketed as "zero-emissions" and being "invisible to the environment". Clearly the energy is being generated, and hence negatively impacting the environment, somewhere. It's just outright dishonest.
I think most people create software (and food and everything else) to add some enjoyment or lift some burden.

The desire to be perfect is part of that. We wish to delight, not annoy.

Largest RCE (Reverse Code Engineering) toolkit ever released
This kit got released a while back (not even in 2012). Seems they updated it. This one blew my mind. The scope and range of tools it has to offer are incredible. The poster even let's us see what's inside. Talk about tearing the wings off software. http://cl.ly/Eiej/iNF0.rar

If you don't know what Reversing is, it basically means analyzing software to see how it works.

The kit seems to have went viral already, let's have a discussion. Do we need this as a tech community, or is the suite of tools some sort of joke?

Mercedes really has a fantastic heritage of "hacking" the driving experience.

While other manufacturers have their own versions of modern safety tech, I've never seen it used as thoroughly across the lineup of cars as I do with Mercedes.

I bought a Mercedes for only one specific reason: It's very credibly the safest car I can put my family in that is also fun to drive. The safety tech on a commonly equipped Mercedes today is what you'll see on all cars in 5-10 years. Things like active blind spot assist -- If there's a car in my blindspot and I try to change lanes into it, the car will use the brakes on the leading side of the car to nudge me back into my lane. And active lane keeping assist -- it applies that same tech to prevent me going left of center if it thinks I'm drifting and not doing it intentionally. Attention assist -- it tracks my driving style and engagement and alerts me if I'm drifting off. Not to mention, just a lot of smart tech: Apply the brakes ever so slightly when it's raining to keep them dry. Seatbelt pretensioner's. And structural things -- an extra firewall in the engine compartment. More, stronger clasps on the hood. Many of these features are found on other makes. But as a package, combined with a fantastic 7 speed automatic and turbo charged 8cl engine, Mercedes sells a wonderful car.

Please excuse me for being such a fanboy!!!
What about ethical behaviour of the new VC in the last case? It's like the old VC did due diligence and the new VC "used" all that work without a shred of decency.

He did a great job with the interview. I think Stripe will be the next big YC company, on the list with Heroku, Dropbox, and Airbnb.

I always find it a bit odd though, the claim that before Stripe you had to have a merchant account. I've signed up (on behalf of various projects) for PayPal's "Web Site Payments Pro" a half dozen times. It doesn't require a merchant account, the setup is quite quick, and it has a very simple API ("NVP"). It's pretty much everything Stripe is except less polished, with a slightly slower setup, and a $30/mo fee (insignificant for all my projects).

I'll definitely choose Stripe next time though just because they're at least 20% more polished on all fronts and I like them a lot more than PayPal. I can't help wondering whether they just didn't know about PayPal's product or they're ignoring it for marketing purposes.

Yes, you have to make allowances for the actual differences between platforms (physical buttons, screen sizes, input methods), but the rest of the code deploys extremely well across platforms. When moving between platforms, you only have to rewrite the pieces that you actually want to be different.
Yeah, it is "dance with one that brought you" (or "what brung ya", or similar).
My guess is that rather than give an exhaustive list, the author wanted to give an example of a familiar language _without_ static typing. As Haxe is more similar to ECMAScript than Python, Ruby, Lua etc. - it's the most appropriate comparison.

As a person who likes (the good parts of) JavaScript, I read it as trying to appeal to me with promises of less debug time.
You would need to emit at infrared and UV also. As soon as anyone started doing this it would be standard to check things in multiple frequencies.
The second comment on that page says python owes its list comprehensions to haskell. Is that true? Did Guido (or someone from python land) look at haskell and say 'hm list comprehensions are cool, lets put them in python!' or was it more like python rediscovered list comprehensions and the design in both haskell and python is just the obvious way to do it.
Yea Office 2007 and Windows 7 are turds compared to the competition and we are better off with Google having 100% because only they have access to the most keyword click data. I am surprised you didn't call them M$.
You should stick with GPL. It's your software and you get to license it on your terms.
It took 50 years for popular programming languages to catch up to Lisp, and in some ways we're still not there yet.

So the point of programming language research is to come up with ideas for the practical programming languages of the next 50 years to steal.
What would I do? Well, that kind of depends on your situation:

1) If you have the six months of emergency funds saved up that you are supposed to, and are either single or married without children, I'd probably quit. Assuming you have actual technical skills I'd move that up to should probably quit.

2) If you have three months or less of emergency funds and/or have children and/or you or someone in your family has a chronic medical condition I would grin and bear it in public, and network furiously to try and find another job so that you aren't "cutting off your nose to spite your face"

3) In both of the prior cases I'm taking it as a given that you are at best ambivalent about your current position or employer. If it's a job you love and it is just the situation that is a problem, then talking with your boss to help explain why it is a problem may be worthwhile. As hard as it may be to believe, some folks out there may look at the setup and not see it as a problem. Either because they're not doing it, or they actually like the ride time to do other things.

Hope this helps...
Not really.

The point is, though, it is an excuse, not an ethical argument.
It uses hydrogen, which is pretty hard to make and transport. If they actually wanted to be environmentally friendly (instead of just having the PR) they would use natural gas which already has a good transportation network.

Hydrogen is better PR since at the car there are no emissions. So which to choose? Better PR or better for the environment?
> Google simply has been SEO'd to death.

I feel like they have gotten a lot better over the last few months. I guess it depends what subjects you search for. For a while I thought "personal filter" was a good idea but lately I don't feel a need.
If you search for chrome, Google thinks you probably want to do the following things more than you want to download Chrome from Google: buy a Chromebook, use the Google Chrome Beta, buy a Google Chrome messenger bag, read about Google Chrome on Wikipedia, download Google Chrome from download.com, download ad block for Chrome, read news about Chrome, download Angry Birds for Chrome

If you search Bing for chrome, the first result will allow you to download Chrome from Google. :)

This is only bad if your real goal is pushing the specific car. If you're more concerned with brand awareness, or being remembered as innovative or creative or doing something unexpected, this type of commercial can be very effective. I'll definitely remember that it's Mercedes. I'll bet a lot of people on HN remember the Darth Vader kid was in a VW commercial, even though they may not remember which car it was an ad for or what the car looked like. They probably know that the talking baby is in an eTrade commercial, even though they might not remember what he was talking about.

But I'll agree with you that it is really easy to waste your marketing dollars on these commercials if the message isn't somehow making the viewer remember the brand. The ones that just celebrate the creativity of the ad firm ARE terrible; I just don't think this was an example of that.
What does "fun to drive" mean? I've heard it many times, but I've never been able to understand it, and I've driven a variety of cars.
I understand that view. And I've certainly been burned. Still, if you're dealing with a VC there is much you can do to reference check them before signing a term sheet. This involves talking with portfolio companies that DID NOT succeed.

I agree. Whenever I defend Foursquare to non-users, I use the "friends sometimes come meet me" explanation.

Forecast solves this in a more practical way by providing my friends advanced notice. If I had to choose between the two - I'd much rather keep Forecast.
Fair comment. I could see why it might come across that way.

The impression I meant to leave was that I risked losing out on the deal all together because the CEO could have simply done the deal with the other investor.

I would rather that have happened than to screw over the VC who convinced me to look at the deal in the first place.
Thanks for pointing that out. I wasn't aware of that.
Awesome read. Makes me want to go see Pixar! Thanks for the eye-opener.
Ah, DDG still refusing to load any results for me. That website really doesn't want me to use it ...
To be clear, this article isn't telling CEOs not to negotiate or seek competitive deals. It is about not backstabbing business partners.
This is probably why:

the webspam team has taken manual action to demote www.google.com/chrome for at least 60 days. After that, someone on the Chrome side can submit a reconsideration request documenting their clean-up just like any other company would.
Nope. I was an entrepreneur for 10 years first. I always employed this mentality. Reputation matters.
Thank you. I wish more people saw it that way. I always believe in negotiating / seeking competitive deals. But once you agree a deal with people you honor it.
Indeed, this was the promise of C, and it was largely realized: there are C compilers for almost every platform. (You can even use Emscripten to "compile" C to JavaScript, but don't expect miracles.)

Right -- I understand this is the type of phrase that's used a lot, but doesn't really follow through.

I have to say though, I've been using NME (haxenme.org), which uses the haXe language. It really does work, and it performs significantly faster than Adobe AIR or Corona.
Stripe has one fairly major advantage over PayPal in its Javascript library which insulates the merchant from handling the credit card information thus making PCI compliance more realistic.
One issue with Web Site Payments Pro that might affect some HNers is that Paypal will deny Third Party Payment Aggregation business models almost 100% of the time. Stripe has no issues with TPPA as long as you don't start getting tons of chargebacks. Stripe FTW.
One of my pain points with Google is that the page is now bloated beyond belief. At one time, I'd hit the "home" button (G was my home page), the page would pop up instantly and I'd start typing my search.

Now, with "instant search", "google plus" and all that bloat, the page pops up, but when I start typing, nothing happens (as it's still loading the gobs of JavaScript); and then it'll miss the first few characters and then start pulling in random search results based on the last few characters I typed, while trying to load previews of pages. In all this confusion, the time taken for me to enter a search term and get results has gone from, say, 3-4 seconds earlier, to 7-10 seconds now. I know it doesn't sound much, but this is a company where Marissa used to count the individual characters of the homepage. Now that she's not in charge, the page has ballooned like Kirstie Alley.
I think the "new VC" acted terribly.
"More bitwise tricks..

So my quest to calculate the hash and the length of a pathname component efficiently continues. I'm pretty happy with where I am now (some changes to the code have happened, it you actually want to see the current situation you need to check out the kernel mailing list post), but finding the number of bytes in the final mask bothers me.

Using an explicit loop is out - the branch mispredicts kill it. And while at least modern Intel CPU's do quite well with just using the bit scan instructions ("bsf") to find where the first NUL or '/' was in the word, that sucks on some older CPU's.

So I came up with the following trick to count the number of bytes set in the byte mask:

/* Low bits set in each byte we used as a mask */
mask &= ONEBYTES;
/* Add up "mask + (mask<<8) + (mask<<16) +... ":
same as a multiply */
mask *= ONEBYTES;
/* High byte now contains count of bits set */
len += mask >> 8*(sizeof(unsigned long)-1);

and I'm wondering if anybody can come up with something that avoids the need for that multiply (and again - conditionals don't work, the mispredict costs kill you).

Because that multiply isn't free either."

EDIT: Thanks for the tips, I'm new here
I definitely have never argued that all VCs are good or even that good VCs always act appropriately. That's for sure.

I think the key is knowing the parties with whom you're dealing and knowing their past behavior. I advocate reference checking portfolio companies that failed: see http://www.bothsidesofthetable.com/2010/02/08/how-do-you-ref...

Thinking Outside The Box, With Our Bodies And Our Brains
To be more clear (and I came back to edit for more clarity and saw your reply that paralleled my ambiguous construction) it's about the VC (you) not backstabbing your coinvestor.
IF (and it isn't clear from my reading) the company didn't have signed papers with your first coinvestor, they are well within rights to drop the investor. But you have a responsibility to not abuse the trust the coinvestor gave you.
If the company, gets a better whole offer, good on them. But they can't chisel apart the first offer.
Frequent, Intense Mature and Suggestive Themes
I would prefer no philanthropy to sub-optimal philanthropy.
I recently wrote a small public domain coroutine library that weighs in under 100 lines without comments (https://github.com/maxburke/coroutine). It's targeted toward MSVC/x86 but it wouldn't be that hard to port to other platforms, or plain C.

It has a few restrictions, it expects that the stack frame for the threads doesn't exceed 4kb, although it could be made more flexible I figured that OS fiber facilities would be more appropriate if heavier weight features were required.
Do you like driving cars?

Cars that are 'fun to drive' for me (and it's a very subjective thing) are cars where I feel like I am a part of the car. As a driver, I'm encased in the vehicle. It does what I tell it to, how I tell it to do it. It can take corners just as fast as I like them; and I can feel the g's inside the corner.

tl;dr: I feel like I am the car
