True, but it's hard to see how you can avoid that problem with services like this. Unless you are prepared to pay for new domain names more or less daily. Also, every time I use myname@mailinator.com I half expect to be rejected for this reason, but so far I never have been. I probably do that about once a month on average. And mailinator.com has been around for many years and is very well known.

Norwegian Cruise Line - American Style
The Norwegian Cruise line can sometimes charge you with the thirst for adventure, while at the identical time can provide some glorious relaxation avenues.
Because panic/recover are bad exceptions (recover can't specify the types of the exceptions it wants to recover from), and the libraries don't use them. Having to check errors is annoying since most of the time you want to bubble the error up to your caller. This is exactly what exceptions (or the error monad) do for you. In Go you have to do it manually.

Anyway, Go does have exceptions. It just doesn't make much use of them. Seems a shame to not use a useful feature, but oh well.

defer is not reliable if you forget to call it. RAII is much more foolproof than defer in this way. You can forget to call defer, but you can't easily forget to call the destructor.

Hi guys!

I'm the OP. I don't have time to respond to everyone here, but let me just say it's been quite gratifying to see the productive discussion this has generated. I wrote this post late at night, after a particularly exhausting group activity, hoping to thoughtfully react to my frustration. Whether or not I managed that, these sorts of discussions are just what I was hoping for!
RantRally
RantRally - an audio based social media site launched this week. More info about the service below:<p>RantRally is a social site where users can share with others through the power of their voice. Call a toll free number, leave a message, and your 'Rant' attaches to your profile and is available for anyone to hear.<p>Your listeners know that it's you, and when they hear your voice they feel an emotional connection that could never exist with text alone. Call, connect, share. The web should be more than just text.

Yeah.. you guys aren't "real" introverts. Real introverts are like me and have practically no friends online or off, almost never go out unless they have to, and do all of their social interaction by writing comments on random Hacker News or reddit posts, rarely even seeing a username they recognize.
Can someone give me a good Sate of ePub speech and its device + environment support (iTunes, Kindle App, others)?

Observations:

* The Calibre UI needs love (the OP arrows are a clue the UI doesn't have affordances)
* ePub or "Gutenberg" support is not a current marketable term
* What formats do publishers use beyond ePub?

Thanks.
Have a fun night with your team. We just had a video game, March Madness, pizza hangout. Lot's of beer was consumed, people had a great time. The next day our company morale was noticeably higher.

Take a step back, try to spot areas where you and your cofounder butt heads, it most likely comes down to two things: 1) Communication 2) Expectations.

Manage your communications and expectations proactively and you'll be a much happier company.
> The main problem I see with gevent/eventlet is it has many of the weaknesses of callback and preemptive threaded code with none of the strengths.

It is intended to create an environment similar to preemptive threads, yet due to it being a networking library it is unlikely gevent users will have to use the semaphore and locking primitives provided with gevent.

Regarding the weaknesses of callbacks, I disagree and would like to see evidence supporting your case.

> - It can't use multiple cores, even if Python got the ability in the future, gevent code simply wouldn't work as intended.

This is pure speculation. If Python's multicore handling was better (existed?), it's likely gevent would be implemented similar to other systems where you have threads allocated to each core and the concurrency primitives can then be executed on cores according to some algorithm.

> - While gevent is not preemptive, context switches are implicit, that means you cannot write code without locks unless you want to do some handwaving. You have to know the entire system to know that a multistep operation that calls functions is actually safe.

While this is true, I don't think it is likely to occur. Gevent's creator agrees: http://www.gevent.org/intro.html#cooperative-multitasking

> On the net, gevent may be better than Twisted or Tornado, but I think that is saying more about how much those suck than how good gevent is.

You're an Erlang programmer. You have to have that opinion.

I haven't seen an elegant pattern emerge from PHP in the last 8 years.
I think you have something there. This notion of introversion and extraversion is really just a preference, and the preference has a real basis in experience.

Perhaps we should just change our vocabulary, perhaps to say crowd-loving or crowd-avoiding. Even that's wrong because it's obviously some crowds and not all crowds.

There are lots of reasons why one might be avoiding crowds. I suspect for the classic geek (or indeed any subculture), a lot of this is simply shame and embarassment fatigue. One is confronted with many people who will quickly size one up according to some unfavorable yardsticks. Wouldn't anybody find that to be "draining"?

It would have been great to spend the money on Webb on several smaller missions like Kepler, and leave the Mars missions alone.

Whatever science Webb can do is unlikely to make up for the opportunity costs lost in these other missions.

> only a couple of questionable phrases that got blown out of proportion and completely picked apart

I don't know about that. So far, many of the tweets from his own Twitter account seem to postulate himself as a genius. I would like to think the UI he has created isn't leaps and bounds above what I've seen and I know very few developers get the kind of credit he seems to think he deserves for doing very similar work. Doubtful his work operates on the caliber of the average IBM engineer. Sorry, it's really off-balance. If I am giving dcurtis praise for his evolution of blogging, I have to ask myself why. Would the same praise be given if you made Svbtle? Doubtful. The fact that it was essentially duplicated within less than a weekend shows that the praise was probably placed rather than earned.

> I keep hearing how "Hacker News has gone down hill" but it was never as visible to me until the Svbtle threads.

"HN going downhill" and "whaaa! no one fellated me for the work i did" seems to have some correlative timing. Another thing that is tiring – those proclaiming HN has become a wasteland, but submitting their own articles to HN hoping for the spotlight, only to later call the end of days when people don't immediately grovel at their knees in astonishment.
Item [8] was mentioned in this talk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kEfedtQVOY by Meredith Patterson. She contends, and it seems sound to me, that the time has passed to be "tolerant when accepting," and that you should instead only accept regular grammars or, at worst, context-free grammars as input languages on the open Web.
kijin,

I used "The Idiot" because that was the book that I was reading at the time of this writing. Using Calibre doesn't directly combat DRM, but the time you spend using it as a broker for consumption is time you are not spending in the B&N store buying books in a restricted format.

Though it may seem silly to read public domain books when there may be something new that you want to consume, if you can forfeit that experience of a new book, it is a great form of protest.
I was actually shocked by the list of sponsors, because it looks like they didn't have a couple hundred for a quick professional design job. Text gifs, inline script tags, default UA fonts.

Yes, I understand that the site isn't the focus here -- but no web startup would get away with a mess like this, making this whole thing feel very ironic.

Not to mention that you're making an unfavorable impression for your new startup when your intro video link looks like it was made in MS Paint.
1. Android (even though I'm an iPhone snob...). Definitely impressed with what they've done, although they rely on 3rd party hardware manufacturers to ensure a seamless experience. It's tough not to have an Android device if you're using Gmail and Google Docs religiously. Which brings us to the next point...

2. Google Apps for business could start to offer some great benefits to startups, as you can collaborate more easily and tap into things like Google Analytics, etc. from one centralized location.
That video is incredibly frustrating. They keep switching the camera away from the board so you have no idea what's going on.
knew it.not really. it just looked odd
This link is flawed. It points towards eventlet but gevent is significantly better. Not sure why Ted felt otherwise, but I speculate that it's because at the time of writing gevent was considered incomplete compared to eventlet.

To be clear: gevent is significantly faster than eventlet and offers the same functionality.

Well, here is why i think.

Wow, I just got nerd chills while listening to that video, great idea and awesome execution. Where it will shine is when you'll be able to follow a 5min tutorial and create a "Quake" and invite your friends to play your game.. while letting them hack their own characters, edit levels and add more original features to the game.
Personally I set the following in /etc/sudoers:
Defaults	timestamp_timeout=0,passwd_tries=1

I find not having to enter a password for a certain period of time rather annoying, especially when ssh is lagging or when I am typing without paying much attention. If you so wish, you can also set the option "rootpw" for the above, which will make sudo require the root password.

I also set a small number of specific commands to require no password for sudo, mainly for common things like network configuration and suspending. These are defined for the absolute paths of the executables, and only for my user, so they aren't a security risk.

Penrose's The Emperor's New Mind addresses this idea. Basically, Penrose assumes that:

1. Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems are equivalent to the halting problem (provable)

2. If the human mind is deterministic, it can be modeled with a deterministic algorithm (provable).

3. The human mind seems to be capable of proving arbitrary things about all algorithms (debatable; I'm extremely skeptical).

4. Therefore, the human mind is not bound by the halting theorem, and therefore the human mind is not deterministic.

He then draws several possible speculations. 1, the human mind is driven by quantum mechanics. He explains this more in Shadow of the Mind, the "sequel" to this book, and goes on to postulate specifically that "microtubules" allow quantum mechanics to have far-reaching effects that are indistinguishable from consciousness. Other people, most notably and substantially Max Tegmark, disagree[1], arguing, "we ﬁnd that the decoherence timescales (∼10^−13 to 10^−20 seconds) are typically much shorter than the relevant dynamical timescales (∼10^−3 to 10^−1 seconds),
both for regular neuron ﬁring and for kink-like polarization
excitations in microtubules. This conclusion disagrees with
suggestions by Penrose and others that the brain acts as a
quantum computer, and that quantum coherence is related
to consciousness in a fundamental way." Since then, quantum effects, especially quantum teleportation, appear to be crucial at the molecular level in processes like photosynthesis[2], suggesting that, perhaps, quantum mechanics may play a role.

However, even if quantum mechanics do play a role in human consciousness, I don't see how trading a deterministic brain for a random one is an improvement. Personally, I don't think that quantum mechanics do provide a crucial level to the extent that our brains are somehow not bound by logical axioms; I still believe there's a fundamental "algorithm" that drives the biological brain, though it may be difficult to conceive of, and I tend to agree with Tegmark in ideas of consciousness. Still, I'm open to any evidence on either side of the table, but I think we're a few decades away from key discoveries about the way our brains work that will shed any serious light on the subject.

Good points. In an ideal world, the principal problem you describe should be dealt with by free market forces. I choose the apartment based on cost and quality. If the landlord uses low-quality materials or doesn't maintain the property I'm less willing to pay the high rent and might move out.

Rent's aren't completely predictable, but home ownership is far less predictable. What happens when you discover there's a leak in your roof and you need to shell out $10,000 to get it repaired? What happens when the Whole Foods moves into your neighborhood and your land values goes up so you're stuck with higher taxes, or mortgage rates go up and you have to pay a higher interest.

A guy who implements a closed source idea as an open implementation usually ends up getting credit for taking the pain to implement the idea rather than coming up with the idea. The guys who created GNOME/KDE do not get credit for inventing the GUI. They get credit for making a usable opensource implementation of ideas that were born at XEROX PARC and even before that.

Anyone who creates a clone of a closed app is providing the starting point for derivative work. Even if the "first author" did nothing more than clone functionality, subsequent authors shall build new awesome features on top of that.

If you want to prevent OSS from getting in your way of making money, all you need to ensure is that you care about delighting customers. For Eg consider Google. they use android for controlling the platform on which search happens. The linux kernel hackers actually care very little about whether ur mom can use the phone. The non cool aspects of project get very little attention. To run a business, all you need to do is pay as much attention to the non cool parts of a project.

Apple still sells devices with huge margins. So all Dustin Curtis needs to do is "be the steve jobs" of his niche. He can make money off of it, if he chooses to, and get credit for what he creates true value from and the open implementations can co-exist.

News Aggregator for Startup, Business, Technology and Political News
You make excellent points. Going off your first: In addition to maintaining a home you also -improve- your home. For instance I've painted every room in my house. My basement was only sealed when I moved in; it now resembles a construction site as I am partitioning it off into various rooms, adding walling, carpeting, electrical, so-on. This is my home and I make it the way I want to live. If one of my renters in my investment properties tried something like that, I'd wrap them up in destruction of property and violation of contract legal charges.

And there is one other HUGE incentive on owning your own home, it's YOURS. You won't get kicked out unless you don't pay the bills. I can not put into words the mental at-ease it puts when you know you own something, especially when that something is the roof over your head at night (That almost sounds consumerist doesn't it? lol). And before anyone commits to the fact that paying off a home takes 30 years, keep in mind it's like a credit card: if you pay the minimum payment, that's what you'll get. It's always good to pay a little more even if it's 'simply once in awhile'.
Really smart idea, site looks solid. I must admit that I'm not a huge fan of QR codes, but you mention in your response to Jordhy that it's more fail safe than Bump.

This speaks to a rather odd state of mind on the part of the teacher. “The great man”?

Believing that the state of education and testing is the result of some powerful villain behind the curtain requires more credulity than simply attributing it to the massive complexity and inertia you describe.

Certainly Chomsky is a great man. He's the founder of modern linguistics. He wrote the paper that demolished behavioral psychology, paving the way for cognitive psychology. He invented the hierarchy of formal languages that is still taught in every Computer Science program in the world. He is the most cited academic in the world. He is the most influential thinker in two completely unrelated fields: linguistics and political activism. He's an "Institute Professor" at MIT, which is the highest honor that MIT bestows. (I think that there are fewer of them at MIT than there are Nobel Laureates.)

Just what is there not to consider great?

As to "some powerful villain", where did either Chomsky or the OP ever assert that the "villain" isn't a system? Perhaps a system comprised largely of complexity and inertia?

I know for a fact that Chomsky believes something along these lines. He's stated many times that the harmful influences that he describes are not the result of a cabal, as he is often misattributed as asserting, but that he is and always has been speaking about the effects of a complex system, whose intent is not the intent of any individual part of the system.
Interestingly, Godel gave a presentation somewhere within 5 - 7th September at Koningsberg presenting the first incompleteness theorem. At this time, he did not have the second. [1]

Von Neumann was in attendance and he wrote a letter to Godel on November 20th announcing his discovery of the second incompleteness theorem. As it turns out, Godel had just sent a paper for publication on November 17th with the proof of the second incompleteness theorem. In reply to Godel, finding out he had just been scooped, von Neumann wrote:

"As you have established the theorem on the unprovability of consistency as a natural continuation and deepening of your earlier results, I clearly won't publish on this subject." [2]
