Copying is liberation. You're freed from relying on the original instance.

The issue I took with Dustin wasn't just the idiocy with which he decided making a pretty blog equated to somehow creating the future of journalism. It was how, when people on this site complained about his copy, his response wasn't "it was a joke" or "this is still a private beta" but "good, my marketing worked because you'll remember it".

If Dustin didn't want his private little club to go public, he could have chosen not to write about Svtble at all, and we'd have no idea of what it looked like behind the scenes. Once he went public, his ideas became a part of every "club" that cared to look at them, including ours. You are always responsible for what you do in public. Always.

It's twisted to look at the response as "bullying". Somebody copied a public idea and released it to people who didn't have access to it yet. Partly in response to Dustin's saying, "You know what, I don't care if I offend you, as long as you pay attention to me." The only way that the open-sourcing was bullying was that it turns out Dustin does care about offending people after all. Not that he seems to have learned anything from this, other than "people on that web site don't like me and that sucks."
Not only graphite, but assuming a proper non-mechanical pencil, you'd end up with wood shavings in addition to the graphite bits flying about — which you could solve by adding a vacuum to the pencil sharpener, to capture the debris.

> For example, if you notice sign-ins from countries where you haven’t been or devices you’ve never owned, you can change your password immediately

When I was att CCC this winter I noticed that a russian ip had logged into my gmail. Turns out it was CCC who had rented a russian ip. Scared me quite a bit for a few hours and resulted in me changing my password.
You've obviously never worked in the business world. It's all built on trust. You either have it, or you don't. When you sign a contract with these companies, you give them the right to, if they so choose, ask for all your records to review at any given point in time.

I'm not at liberty to go into specifics, but for example one company we deal with charges a flat royalty off of every product that includes their tech. At the end of the month, we send them exactly 2 statistics along with a check: how many items sold, and what we now owe them. (This is a huge company and we're talking on the scale of hundreds of thousands of dollars.)

When you're a company, you don't take stupid risks like cheating out your licensors over something less than half of what you're making. It's nowhere near being worth the risk, as even aside from any legal issues, fees, and compensations, if you get caught you can kiss that licensing agreement goodbye and then you have to start over from scratch with a different platform, a different provider, and different tech.

The go command will use the right version but only if the person writing the library has bothered to tag the version to use. Many people don't. Part of the point of Go 1 is to stabilize the language. We're committing to slowing down the rate of churn and to not changing the APIs in backwards incompatible ways for the lifetime of Go 1 (1.1, 1.2, and so on), so now there should be much less problem with just using tip/HEAD/whatever in the repositories without tags.

Are you saying that porn only objectify woman?

I see the sexual objectification concept often used as a way to demonise natural human sexual attraction. If man and woman ignored physical appearance and resourcefulness we would probably be extinct by now.

I think there aren't enough resources for Canadian startups but at the same time, I agree with this post that once you can show some traction, then funding is not as hard to come by. The trick is figuring out how to get to that point and pay the rent.
I kind of wondered why this bot survived the first day. I think it's moderately funny first 2-3 times (not hilarious, but slightly entertaining due to the irony) but after that it gets stale exponentially fast. I must admit I never really encountered a person that actually used a TWSS joke, though I can see how it can be funny used once. Repeated joke is just annoyance (at best). Repeated irony is revolting. The (first) bot should have died on day 2, and that should be it.
None the things you mention in your second paragraph will help you if what fails is DNS lookup.

Depending on who you are, what you do and where you live, internet access may well be as vital to you as a land line. In fact, I'm not sure I'd notice if my landline stopped working.
If we're only concerned about Adobe's customers not leaving, it's very certain that Adobe is in a losing proposition. That's the position Microsoft is in and IBM was in for a long time. Why would anyone want to pay for Flash over WebGL or nacl if they're starting a new project?
It's not paving the way, it's removing an obstacle - this act while weakening insurance companies on one level, makes them much stronger with more guaranteed revenues, thus making their lobby stronger. A stronger insurance lobby would oppose universal health care with more determination.

It's good to see real data to address this question, rather than the neverending stream of basically anecdotal information about the problem that we've been slinging around. It's especially interesting to see the percent of not just "good faith" (flawed but well-intended) edits that are reverted but also the percent of "golden" (actually contributing) edits that are reverted; this sort of hostile drive-by is discouraging even for experienced editors.

One thing I see in the graphs is that the "survival rate" of editors who made a good-faith first edit was already in relatively steep decline by 2005, but the same rate for editors whose first edit was golden remained on a high plateau through 2006 and then just categorically dropped off a cliff. What happened then?

Now, latency is a slightly different issue. I would suggest that it's reasonable to either run an extra line OR host some servers locally to deal with that.

How does running an extra line lower your latency? I think you're confusing bandwidth and latency here. Latency would involve replacing your line with better infrastructure (small impact) or changing the route your packets would tend to take to one with fewer hops and shorter distances (big impact).
>Looking at the future, China will probably get back to the first position.

What basis do you have for that? Sure, China will undoubtedly take the distinction of largest economy in the world, but that's attributable to its outsize population. In terms of per capita income, what advantages does China have that you think it will surpass the West?
Your version of a datahaven seems flawed. What if no-one want to sell you connectivity? How will you manage what adresses they are accassible on? Heck, you even made your data trackable down to a few meters by using GSM.
I can think of two evil uses for this:

#1: If you're an author who also runs a blog, you can make Amazon "recommend" your book to your visitors.

#2: The Amazon referral tag is included in the iframe. If I recall right, once you visit an Amazon page with such a tag, that gets set for your entire session and the referrer gets credit for everything you buy. This means if I embed this my website, and you visit, I will get a cut of all your Amazon purchases. Automatically.

(As stated below this will probably get you banned before you can receive payment, sadly)
People talked about things like that after Tunisia and Egypt, for local organizing (maybe combined with SMS, BTS, etc. capability). A lot of the most interesting data is both highly time sensitive (where are police suppressing riots right now) and local (within a few blocks).

I suspect there's a fair bit of USAID, DOD, etc. funding available to make reliable systems like that. It would also be great post natural disaster, some kind of automated repeater and bulletin board system which works with an existing base of smartphones.
Perhaps AJAX, but Amazon would probably like to support people without JS, so maybe they log the pageview when the browser requests the product image or something.
"it's just that simple stuff is boring to somebody who enjoys complexity."

This doesn't work very well with business. Sometimes, you just need the simple solution.

It's also the reason why many startups never get off the ground. I'm guilty of it myself, but I have learned over the years to not over-engineer something until it's really needed.
Go 4.1.1 will now be rebranded 'Golaris 1.0'
I don't think the quoted sentence says that. It rather says that Web History is the source of the data, and even if you delete it there, it will not affect reports that have already been issued in the past.

The question is what they mean with "issued reports". Are these reports that are being issued or reports that have been issued? It's a bit ambiguous, I think. But then again, English isn't my native language, so maybe I am just confusing some Grammar rules.
There is also a custom search engine: http://go-lang.cat-v.org/go-search
Is it possible that the opportunities to make quality edits has decreased as wikipedia has matured?

What I have in mind is the possibility that topics that haven't been well written out are like low-hanging fruit and are easy to positively contribute to. As wikipedia has expanded, that low hanging fruit has disappeared to some extent, and thus new editors have fewer opportunities to actually provide quality edits.

This explanation does not place blame on either newbies or pre-existing users who are "content cops". Instead, it proposes that the difficulty of providing a "golden" edit increases as we move forward in time. If that's a problem (debatable, since it means wikipedia as a product is better than it was previously) then it strikes me as a difficult one to solve.
I thought my joke was lighthearted enough, and metatextual enough, that it wouldn't offend anybody or make anybody feel uncomfortable. If my joke made anyone feel like their voice wasn't welcome in this conversation, then I apologize, and I'd like you to tell me so that I don't make this mistake in the future.

My apology does not extend to you, eaten_by_a_grue, because you're not complaining about my joke, you're calling me a hypocrite. I neither apologize for my thinking "that's what she said" jokes are potentially offensive nor for trying to make a funny, inoffensive variation.
Exactly. Give me lean and lightweight MovableType with a sprinkling of Simple/Obtvse/Svbtle. Easy (or no?) install. Nice UI. Simple export to HTML.
The TeX community in general has a philosophy that anything written since 1983 (TeX'83) or so should a) compile and b) produce precisely the same typeset document if it is recompiled today. This has obnoxious issues and is one of the reasons for the profusion of packages--the norm is to change the name for incompatible changes so that old users can continue on.
FaceBook is for friends and family - almost all of whom aren't developers. I use Twitter for geek-related stuff (the term 'geek' encompassing more than just development). Haven't looked at Google+. Based off comments, maybe I should.
I use the downthemall firefox extension and to keep the videos in order I add a number to the renaming mask:

Give me a fucking break. If he didn't want to be chased around by a pack of trolls, he could have just chosen not to write. What a detestable sentiment.

Feel free to score yourself another 20-50 karma points by cheerleading this bullshit. I'm done, I hope, with this thread.
Actually, that's mainly a UI toolkit interface. Not Win32 core . (Though a tiny bit of core stuff is included)
In my experience Go is probably 5-10x faster than C or C++. I estimate that programs that take me half an hour to write in Go would take me about 2½ hours in C and 5 hours in C++.

(If you meant CPU speed, http://blog.golang.org/2011/06/profiling-go-programs.html :-)
I'm glad that they're finally coming around to the realization that Wikipedia has become increasingly closed to new contributions, and that they've stopped touting the (patently absurd) hypothesis that new users just don't "get it." (The fact that they'd even think, let alone think first, to blame the users is just a giant head-scratcher).

As a simple UX experiment, I would ask new users this: try to contribute substantively to any article on Wikipedia. Just try it. Make a good-faith, high-quality edit to a page, and see how long the edit is allowed to stand. More likely than not, the contribution will be automatically reverted, within milliseconds, by a bot. If it's not, it'll be hand-reverted by a hardcore Wikipedia editor -- part of the statistically small, but disproportionately powerful cadre of self-appointed content cops, who seem to see their jobs as being bulwarks against change. In its zeal for the trappings of due process -- attributions, anti-"vandalism" policework, source checks, guidelines, and so forth -- this clique has lost sight of the net effect it's had on the site, which is to calcify and close off the free exchange of information that was so crucial to Wikipedia's early growth.

IMO, Wikipedia has faced a fundamental challenge in recent years: namely, that content-quality efforts have threatened new content volume. I don't envy this strategic predicament, being forced -- quite literally -- to choose between quantity and quality. It's not an easy balance to strike, and, given the circumstances, Wikipedia's historic track record is quite admirable. Recently, however, the balance has tipped too far in the direction of quality-policing. And now it's starting to undermine the core tenets of the project. I remain optimistic that Wikipedia (and/or the Wikimedia Foundation) can right the ship. But it'll have to mean a substantial uprooting of some bad seeds that have been allowed to take hold for years now.

What?
While it is not as sexy, it's worth noting that "funding" from customers is generally cheaper than funding from investors. Plus, once you have revenue, you generally become more interesting to investors and have more leverage in those conversations because you may not need the money to survive the way you do early in your company's life.

We're a "revenue-backed" startup so I'd say that if you can do it, it is a great way to control your destiny. The challenge with this method is that growth comes after revenue, i.e. you spend generally after you have sold the product which means growth is slower while fundraising allows you to spend ahead of revenue.

Nevertheless, good to see this advice on HN.

Here is a (very incomplete) list of organizations using Go in production:

http://go-lang.cat-v.org/organizations-using-go

Note that this was before Go even had a stable release, and while the language was still evolving very fast, I'd expect more companies outside the "hi-tech" to adopt it now that it is stable.
hmmmm... I've said many times before "Good thing its not against the law to be an asshole". Turns out it IS against the law. Sure this guy is the lead candidate for Twat of The Year... but 56 days in jail for being an ignorant douche-bag is a dangerous trend to set. If we locked up every ignorant douche-bag we'd have to build A LOT more jails here in the US.
I stopped at the part where you compared ReSharper to VIM

I'm guessing you like to debug using print and the command prompt as well?

For most the world keeps on spinning, for some it stops in their youth. Sad.
> The above mechanism needs some finishing touches. The first is data expiration. If you don't need daily data for more than 30 days back, you need to delete it yourself. The same goes for expiring monthly data - in our case stuff older than 12 months. We do it in a cron job that runs once a day. We just loop over all series and trim the expired elements from the hashes.

Rather than iterating over the entire list of series and checking for expired elements you can use a sorted set and assign a time-based score. The cron job can still run once a day but you can find items in that sorted set that have members below a certain score threshold, which will almost certainly be faster.

Naturally this will increase memory usage (which may be undesired) but it's food for thought. Eventually the looping and trimming expired hashes can be coded using lua server-side scripting in redis-2.6, which is interesting in a different way and has it's own challenges.
The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy gave the most succinct advice for how to fly. You fall down and miss the ground.

The upon reading this and in the absence of any native examples of flying animals the pelzo decided to directly follow this grand advice. After 100 billion attempts, over a billion broken bones, and hundreds of millions of deaths the great zaxuvex finally discovered that the correct way to do so is to reach orbital velocity above the atmosphere in a space ship that provides an internal atmosphere, comfortable temperature, shielding from harmful radiation, chemical rockets to slow down, AND most importantly a heat shield and parachute for reentry. Two weeks later a vising dignitary introduced the idea for wings which was was deemed heretical and started the 42 great war.

PS: If your 'training courses' don't provide enough information to actually implement your process in the real world then it's practicably worthless.

Show HN: WR173
I meant to answer your original question, but HN decided I couldn't post any more under "itsnotme".

"So how do you build things that take thousands of programming hours to complete?"

By programming for thousands of hours. Through the process of programming, I'd try things out, use what works, dump what doesn't, write tests first where it makes sense, last where that makes sense, not at all where that makes sense, buy hardware where it will save me time and money or work better, interface with it by writing code, step back, look at some mistakes, rip them out, replace them with nothing if I can, or less bad mistakes if I can't replace them with nothing.

You know, programming.

If in addition to my process of programming someone wants me to tolerate some other meddlesome process, well, it depends how meddlesome that process is. If they want me to use a particular IDE, they can fuck right off. If they mandate I write code in a particular order, they can fuck right off.

On the other hand, if they are awesome people with awesome product, I'll engage in standups (or whatever), and I'll write my cards and move them along (or whatever), and burn down my time (or whatever). But I won't pretend that it part of the process of programming, or that it's speeding things up.

You started this conversation, Thomas. You don't get a break when you're the one actively participating.

I don't mind seeing interesting ideas freed from smug people who'd rather hoard them publicly. I don't mind seeing interesting ideas freed from anybody, really; by simply stating an idea in public, you're setting it free. But I especially don't mind when it's Dustin Curtis, whose ideas are small enough to be freed so easily and whose ego is huge enough that we get such an overblown response.

(In response to your post-edit: Nobody's trolling him. They're creating a service which, it seems, many more than just 6 people want. Why is spreading a good idea considered trolling?)
This would only break iframes that are loading Amazon pages and Amazon really should be doing this to prevent click-jacking anyways.
The trouble is that you need to get enough customers quickly enough that they have more power than the governments opposing you!

eg. Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Monaco, the Channel Islands, most of the caribbean etc. The US could probably manage to shut any of them down if their 'customers' didn't have so much political clout in Washington

The difficulty is going to be getting enough customers who donate more to US politics than the MPAA/RIAA
> AAAI, IJCAI, and AAMAS

These venues have had Word options for well over a decade or more. I recall a higher rate of Word (and HTML!) submissions in Agent97 -- the predecessor of AAMAS -- than I see in AAMAS now. At any rate I think there are few significant changes in LaTeX usage in those conferences.

You're right that the big place where Word shows up in CS is in HCI, software engineering, and interdisciplinary areas. Is it possible that, given your mention of CHI, that you're from these areas and possibly experiencing a sample bias?
