This is brilliant. Some one just start it off without debating +ve/-ve ... at worst it won't make frontpage, at best it'll be brilliant.
Do you need to be in Manhattan? There's some smaller offices still available in DUMBO (but going quickly). Downtown Brooklyn has a lot of vacant Class B type space. Slightly off the beaten track is some just renovated space on Front Street in Vinegar Hill (a couple of blocks north on Front Street from DUMBO proper). 231 Front I think, mix of pure rentals and co-working spaces.

If you want to stay in Manhattan (or must), consider looking in the old garment district, W30s between 7th and 9th avenues. Still a lot of loft style space that you can carve up whatever way you want.

I haven't looked for office space recently, but if I had to I'd probably start first by finding a decent broker. NY real estate is still very old school "I know a guy" type of networking & negotiations.

Also consider asking for referrals to people/places on either the nytm list or nextny.
For one, the sense would be centered around the base of your finger, which is naturally more stable and less sensitive. A magnetic ring worn where normal rings are worn would not give you much of a sensitivity at all.

"They probably shouldn't quote the line that made everyone mad (it will make the readers mad all over again)."

That doesn't sound very honest, and I thought the post was about being honest while apologizing. I think quoting the offensive line shows spunk. One could easily argue that not citing it and hiding behind vague words like "something stupid and sexist" will offend people.

Fine line to walk, isn't it? Taking ownership of your code would seem to be pretty closely related to taking pride in your work, and the motivations that entails. Having worked with and for $BIG_COMPANIES I would have to agree with your observation that the majority of developers are not, uh, enjoying a personal association with the fruits of their labour, and it shows.

Maybe own it till you're proud of it, then let it go! Schedules don't always allow every codule to be the shining star in your portfolio, but there should maybe be pride to be had in a really dirty hack done on an insane deadline ^_^

As a new vim user, I've found that learning vim is like learning to play an instrument.

You are constantly challenging yourself to move your hands and fingers in the most efficient way possible. It is incredibly frustrating up front but then you occasionally find yourself elevated and doing something that you had previously thought impossible.

Single key commands strung together make a melody. Editing a document is like playing a song.

Great vim practitioners can elegantly keep tempo and flow with advanced technique and focus.
Don't be too hopeful- Binder is still a big sticking point, and nothing is going to work without it. The two schools of thought on it are:

* It is a terrible, terrible interface that doesn't belong in the kernel

* Linux supports SysV IPC because other Unices do, Binder is at least as popular

Before you pile in and declare your reasonableness by endorsing the latter position, please understand that the former is not exactly on thin ice.
"Either this part of the video was made with a real hand held camera, or they have found better ways to 'fake shake' the video."

Good fake camera shake isn't too hard. After you take your tripod shots to add CGI to, also take some actual shaky footage of the same scene, or of anything else about the same distance away. Then motion-track the shake from your shaky footage and apply the same motion to your CGI shot. High-fives all around.

In conclusion: unrealistic camera shake would tell you something, but realistic camera shake doesn't tell you anything. It's like, "yep, these look like real people rather than cartoon characters, so this definitely wasn't faked using old Simpsons episodes ..."

4 Common Mistakes Made By Startups
Behavior and humor in professional, work environments need to be held to a different standard than what might fly just between a group of friends or in a bar. In such an environment even usually harmless jokes contribute to a subtle if not overt sexist atmosphere which discourages female participation. Sure, there are always going to be some aggressive, driven women who will enter the field anyways and excel, but there are lots of other women who will end up being turned away, believe it or not.

> wikipedia uses one definition

Let me repeat: you used an introductory sentence as a "definition" of FP and are overinterpreting it. If you read later you will see:

> Functional programming languages, especially purely functional ones...

So Wikipedia distinguishes functional programming and pure functional programming. In fact there is a separate article on pure functional programming, which says that destructive modifications are "excluded", not just "avoided".

Functional programming does not have clear boundaries. You can have advantages of functional programming even if you introduce _a bit_ of FP style in a very imperative program. Conversely, you can write in very imperative style in Haskell.
Ya, it lost its user base.

Yeah, the jumpy thing really makes it kind of painful to use, even though I love the interface otherwise.
I'm sure on many counts you are absolutely right.

However there is a HUGE difference between what I say in person and what I put in a a public invitation.

In isolation its "just a harmless JOKE" but it is not in isolation in the tech scene. There is a long list of this behavior that makes this industry uninviting (and in some rarer cases just damn hostile) to women.

I think in Startup culture we appreciate that its all in the nuance and little details when it comes to success.

Small things like this add up. I'd argue that it is in dealing with matter incidents like this that we make a larger change in the long run.

As for "Everyone needs to relax"... I have two daughters. When I don't have to read about people like Sqoot then I'll relax.
Why is Stripe hiring a Recruiting Engineer?
Does it sound like a fancy name for "HR Manager" or "Internal HR Sofware Developer" just to me? A separate "recruitment engineer" will always be detached from the core product development, he won't be able to understand the actual daily problems and challenges present in the core team, he won't understand its spirit.

Yes, you may want to build an internal application to improve the recruitment process, sure - there is always plenty of room here for a change. But does it need a separate engineer? Wouldn't it be a great side project for a few people from the core team? And who would like to become a "recruitment engineer" building some side application of second importance in a company building world-class product?

Stripe, you are brilliant as a service (BaaS), why so?

Show HN: Transfer links between computers without emailing yourself. PasteBro.
My mother's school system just switched to Google Apps. Some ensuing confusion -- amongst other things, with Google's/Gmail's repeated GUI rearrangements, she'd lost track of and forgotten about the sign-out command in her personal Gmail account.

I've similarly watched and helped her and others struggle with unintuitive controls e.g. in Google Calendar.

Google may worry tons "about a shade of blue". But their real user experience seems to depend upon individual projects and perhaps individuals. The original search results page and early Gmail were high points. Some other items have languished or declined under counter-productive development.
The tech sector seems to hate formality, I think this may also be part of the problem. But in this particular case, it's a hackathon, pretty informal to begin with. If this were a job description I'd agree that any sort of joke that relates to gender would be totally inappropriate.
Hey HN, I made a little pastebin website. It's pretty rough at the moment and has some issues (prone to flooding for one). I put ads on it just to try out Google Ad sense that I'll be using for a different project; I hope this doesn't bother anyone too much (an ad blocker should take care of it pretty easily).

PasteBro is pretty prone to trolls right now. The way it's setup is that anyone can delete anything. It's also hosted on a free heroku account so it won't scale at all.

Right now I'm just using it as a private "internal tool" for passing links to myself and I've only shown it to a couple of friends. So feel free to use it and hopefully it won't get too out of control.

Suggestions and feedback are both welcome and appreciated.

I imagine that for most people in first-world countries who aren't avid studies of historical ignominy, "slavery" conjures connotations of indentured servitude, rather than complete autocratic determination over others. In fact, even if "slavery" was still something that existed in otherwise-modern countries (let's imagine the US never bothered to fight a civil war over it), you'd probably not be allowed to "beat, rape, and murder" your slaves--any more than you can currently beat, rape, and murder your pets.

Code is just like other external indicators to who you are. Talking, clothes, hair style all inform people as to who you are.

I don't think that was what the article was about, but I think that bare statement,"Your identity ≠ Your code", is wrong.
Wow. I think this conversation ends here.
They can't. Not because they can't make money online but because they are not worth the paper they are printed on -- this includes newspapers such as the NYT.

Ask yourself: when was the last time the NYT published a story that cause a scandal and forced a politician to retire? A couple of years ago? For it to be worth more than the paper it is printed on, it has to be at least once a week -- there are enough scandales to choose from.

But of course printing filler is cheaper.
> ...rather than this article's seeming recommendation of avoiding association with your own work.

I'm not sure how you read into this. I certainly wasn't intending for that statement. Code can be a medium of expression but it usually is a means to end (a working solution). I don't think there's anything wrong in someone taking pride in a solution. It's when their pride holds them back from improving or worse, not even attempting due to the inevitable criticism that will follow. I don't see them mutually exclusive, you just need a healthy dose of humility.

> That said, when I look across the spectrum of developer types from those who feel too much ownership of their code vs. those who take no ownership of their code -- I find the latter to be more common.

I'm sure there are many developers who just to clock in and clock out, however I'm also guessing there is a good portion who want to take ownership but are afraid of the risk of criticism. And fear it for the wrong reason.
Interestingly, Y Combinator's approach of working with hackers so that they can launch, build, and stay in control of new businesses is the exact opposite of what the article's author said would happen in the future.
This was really well done. I'd just like to point out a few things, as someone who's watched Inception way too many times:

1) It is never said that 3 levels is the maximum depth of a dream until Limbo occurs. My interpretation has always been that Cobb and Ariadne hooked up a shared-dream machine to Fisher's dead body, which brought them into Limbo.

2) Why are there 2 Limbos? There's the one Cobb and Ariadne follow Fisher and Mal into (which has the architecture of the Limbo that Cobb and Mal shared all those years ago). There's then the Limbo that Cobb and Saito share, where it looks like Saito architected the environment (Asian influences). And if they were the same Limbo, why was Cobb washed up on a shore with no memory of how he got there in Saito's Limbo?

3) In the Limbo that Cobb and Mal shared, all they needed to do was kill themselves to wake up. Why then was the defibrillator needed to wake Fisher up from death in Limbo to Dream 3?

That's a bug the site has with Firefox, which we haven't gotten around to fix yet. It does work properly in Chrome/Safari/IE, tho.
They "block" it by reimplementing the entire videoplayer UI. This is unfortunate because it's inferior to the system provided videoplayer UI, and not just due to lack of AirPlay support.

Notice how touching the screen causes the UI to appear immediately, instead of the delay you'd normally expect. Also, the seek bar is much more sensitive and difficult to use.

I've been wondering why they went through the trouble of trying to make a nearly identical video player UI, but I suppose blocking AirPlay seems like a good explanation.

Apple already does and the media companies already do.

At least, when it comes to AirPlay Mirroring:

https://developer.apple.com/library/safari/#documentation/Au...

Basically, you can subscribe to a notification when a second screen is connected and display there whatever you want. The French TV channels M6 and Canal+ have blocked it for a few months now. (which is absolutely stupid obviously)

As far as AirPlay from inside the default media player object, I'm not sure if it's notified to the app and I don't have an iPhone 4S or iPad2+ to check.

edit: the paragraphe "Provide Audio Metadata" from the link above seems to say that the app also knows when it's "plain" AirPlay.

This is just snark. This article is more about the now than the future, and it's about what is, not what "should" be.

You're posting this snark precisely because it does pose a significant challenge to the conventional worldview in which regulation is the answer to everything. Why not address the issues directly with some productive discussion instead of trying to cocoon yourself behind a snarky dismissal? For instance, a starter question from each ideological direction: If the regulatory state is so wonderful, why are so many people being forced to bypass it, or basically starve/stay poor? And how can we bring the benefits of a well-regulated state to these places that aren't exactly rolling in free-flowing cash and can't afford any sort of very expensive regulation? (Because while a small 4 page article may not have discussed it except for an off-hand comment, I'm sure there's rampant abuses and mafia-like organizations in this economy.)
