Well, given that I've seen 7-15 minute build times for 180,000 lines of code in a popular JVM language ... what I wouldn't give for Go-like build / test iteration times in that language.

I think there's some value in your list of things that you like about Go. It gives others an idea of what they might be missing out on. (And for me with my work on Open Dylan, it gives me a nice target to aim for.)

I'm exactly the same as you. Facebook for social things, I have a closed account to keep out prying eyes (employers/potential employers and the such). My twitter account is however my "work persona", and generally only have tech/work related people added to it. I'm also very careful not to bitch about anything or post anything which makes me come across as negative. It's a different matter on Facebook though...
Yes, yes, it would.

But it would take a lot of developers a lot of time to build a reliable product. And nobody can afford that.
Yes, it is. There is nothing that says that a phone can't show you the normal menu while being in a conversation with somebody. Get the picture? I know for a fact this can be done.

So, if you want to make sure the phone is off, remove the battery.
I think a more valuable discussion would come out of this if the poll didn't dictate the reasons for 'yes' and 'no'.
There is not a lot of incentive to create a free Notepad++-like text editor for OSX. OSX already ships with two excellent free text editors for the commandline (Emacs & vim) and there's GUI versions of both.

Any Cocoa/OSX specific GUI editor will suffer from being less powerful, less well tested and less portable (whereas vim/emacs are available on any imaginable platform, allowing you to keep your editing muscle memory).

Would anyone complain if it was "her face there"? (Short answer: No). What about "its face there"? (We are after all human beings). When people don't care, that's when sexism no longer matters. Just like the way the word "black" is used in most places outside the US
I don't get Facebook. I have a hundred or so 'friends' on Facebook. I keep in contact with about 10 of them.. of those ten I phone or speak to them in person. I never contact them on Facebook.

The other 90% of friends are people I have lost contact with / old school friends. Neither of which interest me in the slightest.

Facebook status updates from friends and non-friends for the most part are worthless. "Today I am going to London", "I just saw an albino cat [photo of cat]" etc. I needed to know / see that!

The only thing Facebook succeeds at is managing an event. Everyone is on Facebook, invites are easy, its easy to keep track of who is coming. Everything else is fluff.

Ruby looks nice.

You better follow the best practices for Perl and it is like the other scripting languages. Check the Modern Perl book.

My reason to prefer Perl is because it is fun and the culture is good. The business case for Perl is CPAN. E.g., check Moose and additions like http://search.cpan.org/~flora/MooseX-Declare-0.35/lib/MooseX...
First, we are spending alot of money on development, not just countries but NGOs too. Mostly in a bad way (somethimes with very good intentions sometimes with with not so got intentions).

"Its very simple: the distribution of things is just quite unfair, deliberately so.
Many countries are actively repressed. The World Bank provides loans as a mechanism of economic warfare or modern-day colonization.
Again, a major problem is that many of the citizens of the first world aren't even aware of this."

This is true in a way. The problem is that these countries let them self get hooked.

- They overspend on stuff (mostly military but infrastructure too) witch the often buy from other countries instead of investing in (and thereby building) there own industries.

- Then the get hooked and let the controll of there resources slide to private industrie from outside the country (witch would be ok if the taxed them enougth)

All this is happening and it is bad I agree but these countries have to learn that if somebody comes and offers something its in the sellers intresst.

This is not really diffrent from telcos offering bad deals you have to look at that stuff befor you buy.

All this said I agree that the first world does really bad things they often act like the give a helping hand but its not really a helping hand.
I agree that this needs to stop. The World Bank and the IMF do alot of bad things.

I do not think that they deserve what they get but I would say that it is in part there fault.

"So people in every country need accurate holistic information "

You cant expect everybody to know enougth about economics but you can expect the countrie leaders to do so. The problem is that building up everything from with the west is much faster then doing it on your own and if you have bad leaders (diktators/persidents/kings) who only care for there themself, accepting "aid" from the west is the fastes way to get rich (a hole other problem is that sometimes the west helps them to stay in power)

tl:dr:

- What is called "aid" from 1st world often isn't

- Developing countries don't look close on what they buy

- Developing countries often have bad leaders

---------------------------------------------------------

I just don't like the term economic warfare or modern-day colonization. Its a Free-Market there are just good players using bad players, but the bad players did not get forced to play or to play the way they did (Expet when the are actually forced like Iraq).
Well, I don't have a Facebook account, but I don't presume to call people who do not "real programmers" ;)

Aren't these things all calculated ajusted to inflation?
I have written a few technical books together with a co-author. From my experience "Side 1: Knowledge" is king. Before I explain a technical topic in writing I prepare every sample project beforehand. Complex sample projects are prepared in different versions (starting with the sample immediately after it has been created by an IDE, …) up to the final version. This has two benefits: I, as a writer, can offer the sample (step by step) for download to the readers so they can use them as a reference when something goes wrong - but more importantly: It helps to structure the writing process because I know the steps I have to describe. I know when something essential has happened (because I have created an additional version of the sample).

A rough outline created in advance also helps.

I am also talking to myself - a lot. Before writing something down for my book I explain it to myself.

I think it's sexism bikeshedding. Instead of going and fixing actual sexism (can well be hard and/or painful), you can always smugly point out that someone didn't de-genderfy his[1] writing.

G-Wan interests me however it's closed-source and the creator seems a bit.. well.. 'something'. Elitist, perhaps.

I've noticed he turns a number of things into mini-rants. There used to be a rant on the download page about how it's closed-source because open-source is actually less free, blah blah blah.

It just seems.. off. I think in most cases it's better to go with a project that has a big and stable community.

I think this post sums him up quite well: http://forum.gwan.com/index.php?p=/discussion/comment/247/

I was definitely thinking of Iraq because I'd say national guard are a pretty broad cross section of regular Americans, but firefighters, steel mill or industrial workers, etc are all highly relevant too.

Relatively extreme temps are an issue, but can be overcome. If it requires a couple weeks of practice for your staff to get used to working in 100-120f low rh environments but saves huge amounts of energy, it is worth considering.

In a cloud hosting environment, you could eventually have non safe temperatures in active operation, lots of redundancy, and just do all your human maintenance during reduced power/temp windows all at once. Sort of like treating the data center as the inside of a computer. Either run multiple facilities or partition by thermal suite or hae the equipment power management be able to throttle cores for reducing heat.
I agree that progress has been made. There is enough food to feed everyone; but there is still starvation happening, mostly in Asia.

Your jpeg link has a graph with an unlabled axis and no source for the data.

A commonly accepted figure for people living on less than $2 per day is between 2billion and 2.7billion.

But that ignores the people living very close to that, who are at risk of severe hardship if they have a failed harvest.

> "To help clarify the matter, get rid of everyone else and put our worker on a desert island, hunting and gathering fruit. If he's bad at it he'll work very hard and not end up with much food. Is this unfair? Who is being unfair to him?"

Now introduce one other person, on a different island. This person alters the environment; more rain, less rain, hotter climate, different water temperatures and salinity etc. These all make it much harder for the first person to grow crop and catch food. Sometimes his home is destroyed in flooding. The second guy is okay, he's living comfortably. He's a bit annoyed about the cost of petrol. If he watches a lot of news he may see the first guy being flooded out of his home. Is this unfair?
No it doesn't. I can handle just those events that are relevant to the series of states I care about in order in Erlang. I can also toss them into another process. Interleaving is not required in Erlang.
Inflation figures aren't very complicated, typically they're just a weighted collection of product prices, if you don't believe the official figures you can just calculate your own.

Just create a list of items that you purchase on a regular basis, and calculate a weighted average cost for each year to give you a basket price and then compare the basket price between years to give you a measure of your personal inflation.
I think it's ironic that if I disagree with your post, I'll just be proving your point. Usually, I don't read the discussions as much as I click on the links to the articles. There are around two or four per day that look interesting to me (congratulations, by the way). Sometimes, I save articles to read later, so by the time I get around to reading an article, it's not being discussed on Hacker News anymore.

Maybe when I accumulate enough karma to down vote, I'll down vote some stuff. That's the most efficient way to hate. ;)

Antirez mentions that a limited set of on-disk data structures could work well but that it will take one or two years to even reach the drawing board. Fair enough -- Redis is first and foremost an in-memory database.

If there was the time though, I'd love to see LevelDB[1] merge the gap between in-memory and on-disk. Inspired by Google's BigTable, all keys are kept sorted on disk (see: SSTable[2]). Keys, lists, sets, sorted sets and hashtables could be encoded in sorted key-value form and would be reasonably (though not tremendously) efficient to retrieve, especially if the query can be converted to a range query (i.e. list retrieval or set intersection). Keep hot data in memory, the rest ends up securely on disk.

Yes, Cassandra is based on the same lineage but it's not simple or clean to operate. Redis is a pain free setup, features a simple API but has no transparent way to overflow to disk for cold data. LevelDB is an optional backend for Riak but I must admit I've not explored Riak heavily... Have I missed a contender from another database crowd?

Not everywhere outside the US: here in Portugal, the word "black" is a terrible faux pas. Of course, the fact that "we" were one of the biggest slave traders has probably much to do with this ;) The word "negro" came from here, after all.

That's great! I understand this was not top priority before having hundreds of job offers displayed.
Just, as I am searching for a new job, it is really painful for me to have to check the offer, check the company name, go on it's website, find the office address, go on google maps, check where it is precisely then go on TFL to check how much time it would take me to go to work.
A map as airbnb's or hipmunk for hotel would be so cool, but I can understand not a lot of people really search a job in a specific radius based on transportation time.

The Science Behind a Single Page Website
Received wisdom from my school system says that pupils are more attentive in their first three hours of the morning, then their attention drops as they run low on sugar; they are less focused in the afternoon.

Discounting the effect of metabolism (by comparing the afternoon period with the after dinner period, or even by comparing a normal day and one spent vaguely awake after an all-nighter), the Italian study's "spring-cleaning" thesis about low-level background activity rising during the day and lowering signal to noise for some mental processes rings true to me.
Perl style regular expression support is a big thing! I use notepad++ a lot, but the search has always reminded me of vim.
Traditional Unix stream processing assumes a specifically line-oriented structure, though, and is somewhat awkward in other cases. The Plan 9 people recognized that, and made some attempts to improve it, for example with Rob Pike's concept of "structural regular expressions" to describe streams that have a different "shape" than an array of lines: http://doc.cat-v.org/bell_labs/structural_regexps/
people who prefer compiled to interpreted
I was talking about journalists who ignore exactly that.

I wasn't just talking about individual inflation. For example, when a company that makes international sales reports record earnings in dollar, while the dollar sunk compared to almost every other currency, is this just misleading. Compare the revenue increase of the biggest companies with exchange rates, they are probably not as healthy as they appear on first sight. Maybe they are not growing at all and just the dollar inflated again.
You realize you're talking about the 20th wealthiest country in the world? And most of the countries above them are either tiny, have oil, or both?

Blueprint is not a web app wrapper, it actually runs proprietary native code and apps you create are entirely native – unless you choose to incorporate a web view component into your app.

However, if you'd like (since you are probably a programmer) you could use a WYSIWYG view (which is really a UIWebView and for which I've exposed some advanced fields for Javascript, CSS, page begin/end etc) and input your web app code so that you can wrap it in a native app (sort of like people do with PhoneGap, just without having to put together an Xcode project and handle builds and so forth).

Thanks!
