People also regularly underestimate the amount of determination you need. It's not only that Pinterest itself was 2 years in the making, but the founders had created failed startups before that too.

Ben Silbermann started with MightyQuiz in January 2007 (YC backed as well) [1]. He's been at it for 5 years now. That's how long it takes to figure out how to build a successful company.

Apple Copies Zune Tag Line For iTunes
my list is pretty different. i'm gonna totally exclude the functional language category. functional languages can do some really cool things and some people swear by them, but none of them are things that you should know for professional purposes.

a low level language - C is the most important one by a million miles

a high level enterprise oriented language - Java or C#

a high level scripting language - Python, Ruby, Perl

Unix Shell Scripting (bash is the most popular i guess)

the frontend web stack - HTML/CSS/JavaScript

obviously people will have widely varying degrees of proficiency between those categories, but everyone should be at least familiar with those categories if not an expert in all of them. you probably should be an expert in one of them though. having a "native tongue" is a useful thing.
Java and C# do facilitate the way a programmer thinks, but maybe not in the way you're thinking of. they won't make you a more genius hacker that comes up with the cleverest code. they'll make you think longer and harder about your engineering decisions and the ramifications they have on a large project.
Thank you. It always feels like people are ignorantly repeating that line whenever Facebook is mentioned.
Repo "corruption" via dropbox does not need a SHA-1 collision.

Git uses other files for tracking things, for example: .git/refs/* and .git/HEAD, which point to particular objects (via SHA-1 hashes). If one of these has a "confilicted change" (via dropbox), one person has the HEAD of the repo (or some other branch) pointing to a commit they do not expect it to point to. Even more interesting is when one person wins HEAD and the other wins it's paired branch in .git/refs/ .

Further, git does occasional packing of the object repository. 2 People attempting to pack the object repository when it contains different items might produce interesting results.
Ask HN: Are there any sites that help you practice reading obfuscated code?
I'm taking a java programming class this semester. Our quizzes and tests usually revolve around a chunk of code that is hard to understand, uses lots of nested loops, broken switch statements, etc.

The professor doesn't provide any material to prepare for the tests and the too easy to prepare for the test.

I'm looking for some sort of resource to practice reading hard to understand code, particularly java. Does HN have any suggestions?

Books/websites/videos/etc are all welcome.

EDIT:: The examples below are a little too hard. I'm looking for something that is entry level stuff.

> not stocks (on average)

???

My (non-retirement) portfolio began with $1000 weeks before the 2008 crash. Despite the horrific timing, those shares are now up 6%.

Overall (with continued intermittent investments and zero attempt to time the market, though a couple times I got a little lucky), my shares in a couple mutual funds and a few individual stocks are up almost 34%.

This doesn't count dividends, which I automatically plow back in to purchasing more shares, and which have basically added ~12% to the overall value of my portfolio.

Any idiot with $1000 could start doing the same thing I did. Sign up with an online broker, and pick an S&P 500 index fund to dump some money into. If you can afford a little more, put some of it into a reputable small cap mutual fund.

If it were that easy to run a business in that market, the original probably wouldn't have went under. Companies go out of business for a number of reasons, but I'd bet on the initial founders who had the vision to create the product and have experience in that market over someone who saw free code online and decided to have a go of it. The reason we almost never see it happen (at least successfully) is that there's almost no barrier to entry (anyone else could pick up the same code) and that it's not an easy market (the original company went out of business).

Interview of Stephen Wolfram and more details about his personal analytics
1 megawatt * 1 hour = 3,600,000,000 joules
Water takes 2,257,000 joules / kg to evaporate
Which works out to ~1,600 kg or 422 gallons of water per hour per MW.

However, I don't think they actually want to evaporate all that much water which leaves a lot of residue issues and instead focus on heating a much larger volume of water.

PS: The article is also wrong in that they don't directly cool hot air from their servers with this water. They are cooling air heated by there cooling system and depending on how hot the air from there servers are they may simply vent that if it's warmer than the outside air.

I'm not responsible for damage to your mind.
Every time a company is acquired, they say the same thing about how their larger parent is going to bring them greater resources and distribution. In reality, almost every company experiences the exact opposite effect. The early adopters and passionate base often leave and the company wallows in the murk of bureaucratic org charts.

I think the stories of what happens a few years after the acquisition are much more informative. Given their involvement in the Ruby on Rails community, I'm sure within 3 years we'll see this story show up as a 37signals Exit Interview.

"...and enforcing sandboxes is going to be much more difficult in that environment."

This is the approach they're taking. The sandbox for applications sold from the Mac App Store will be required from a certain date (which was pushed forward due to concerns, if I remember correctly) and will be quite strict in what it allows access to.

Mountain Lion will include the Gatekeeper, which defaults to allowing applications from the App Store and applications which have been signed by Apple. While signed applications don't get their code checked, their certificates can quickly be revoked if Apple finds any malicious activity. (See: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Gatekeeper_%2... and it's references)

The good thing is that they still allow anyone to change the Gatekeeper-settings to allow any kind of applications, signed or unsigned. Had that option not existed, I bet we would be seeing a migration from OS X by developers. Most average users will probably keep the default setting, giving them a (in theory) quite risk-free environment.

Nice! I think you found the happy medium between the OPs two methods. His first is too long which creates more dependency on being able to read the language and his second is too short which creates more dependence on knowing the functions he's working with. It's very interesting to me as I study readability quite a bit: both long and short coding styles aren't as good as medium.

Yes, the fonts are great. Not sure if anyone has noticed, but on IPad3 with Elena font only while in landscape only, capitals are distorted/thin. It's fine in every other font with both portrait and landscape orientations.

Bad Characters:

Otherwise, no doubt, these fonts are beautiful, and the twilight sepia is a welcome addition, since I use F.lux generally on all my systems. Great release Marco!

Having just quit Amazon and knowing firsthand the disaster that was project tracking, this comment amuses me. There is no "pro quality tracker" at Amazon.
Heh, the gauntlet has been thrown, so I need to show numbers too.

I see that Atlanta rainfall is about 48" (122cm) a year.

422 gallons * 24 * 365 (* 3.785 litres/gallon) * 100 cc/L == 1.4e9 cc/year.

So converting to rainfall area: 1.4e9cc/122cm = 1148 m^2

Basically a 100' square catch basin on the roof of the building would provide all the water they need. Noise.

How often do you want to generate random walks of this type where the variance of the process isn't dependent on its current level?

Observe that, as you increase the standard deviation of the random normal (to even .1), your "random walk" always walks to zero.

I don't mean to be a beady-eyed-pterodactyl but, as cool as clever one-liners sometimes are, often they solve toy problems. I say this as someone who loves R and uses it everyday and constantly is forced to brute-force with ugly inlined Rcpp code. (Which is fine)
> and applications which have been signed by Apple

Applications are not signed directly by Apple, but by developers who have received certificates from Apple. Apple signing applications would be a rather broken trust model.

apparently it is.

When I get in a rut, the best thing is to get some small things done first.

Have you looked at sites like elance, odesk, and guru? You can find small projects there that pay. It could be a good way to get some momentum back. You may have to apply for a bunch of projects to get your first assignment, but don't get discouraged. You have talent. Whatever experience is lacking on your profile, just add your test scores etc.

You mention several different ways that your confidence is low. Let me tell you a secret: the rest of us feel the same way, just that we may have managed to ignore it a little better.

Finally, learning to sell yourself isn't easy but it's no more difficult than learning to program. It's perfectly ok to mess up. Just keep trying and dont take it too serioisly - you will eventually get the hang of it.
I happened to have a free envelope:

Google's total worldwide power usage is about 220 megawatts, calculate the amount of water starting at about 20 deg. C average needed to evaporate to carry away all that energy and that works out to about 700 million gallons of water needed per year. Which is about one or two days of water usage for Atlanta. Keep in mind that this is for all of google's data centers worldwide. For only the servers that are actually in Georgia the amount of water carried away is incredibly small compared to total usage.

Also I didn't account for radiative cooling which is probably fairly significant but likely not more than, say, 50% of the necessary cooling load.

When these guys get within 25% +/- of dedicated hosting on price for what you get (specifically ram, bandwidth, processor), I'll switch immediately. They have a long ways to go.

Microsoft makes about as much in profit every 12 days as Amazon does in a year. I don't think Microsoft is overly worried about margin at this point. They have a huge incentive to keep the Windows Server environment competitive in the cloud game.

They mention the only way Amazon will lose pricing power is if someone undercuts them in the cloud. I don't think that's accurate at all. Amazon is competing on the bottom side with dedicated hosting providers that give you twice as much for half the price plus bandwidth, and they're getting better constantly. I'd swear that Amazon taking some PR beating recently about how expensive their offerings are, was the primary reason for the EC2 drop. That comparison basis was mostly against dedicated and self/colo hosting.
