I see that you are using url2png's api, which means that even rendering a fraction of the monthly links will be costly. I'm creating a similar tool and opting (for now) to create the thumbnails offline and on my own (using webkit2png). Can you comment on your decision?
If you've completed a big change and can't stage it in separate commits that build upon each other ("telling a story" of the feature development), I recommend at least splitting non-overlapping chunks that can stand (compile/test) independently into their own commits.

git-cola is a good GUI to visually stage chunks into separate commits. I haven't really used git-cola's other functionality, but I really like its visual staging features.

I would ONLY be willing to use this if it returned better data than Twilio's CNAM lookups (costs $0.01) for a cheaper overall price.

So far, I've tested my number, and a few others, that I know have CNAM data that this service only provides a STATE for. Hopefully it will get better but it's not there yet for me.

I've read about Patience diff, but could not find good, real-world examples where LCS diff choked but Patience succeeded.

Just last week, however, I had a small code change that produced a crazy diff that would give my code reviewer an unnecessary headache. I tried Patience diff on a whim and it produced a clean diff. Admittedly, it just entirely -removed the old code block and +added the new one, but at least it was readable.

Great poster that hangs above my desk: D. Rams' 10 Principles of Good Design.
That just isn't accurate though. That's not what happened at all. Yes, there was a period of about a year where they did not increase security or have a curfew or parental supervision policy in place where there were several incidents and a higher crime rate. That IMMEDIATELY plummeted over 25% after the parental supervision policy went in to place and by 2010 had dropped to levels that were essentially the same rate as existed before the metro stop was built.

You can't judge this from an outdated article about 2007. That was from that time period when it was a security free for all out there. The people who want to cause trouble certainly know they are not welcome at that mall anymore and will be arrested if they cause any trouble.

I'm guessing the Nordstroms, which is a very high end designer-centric dept. store with $200 silk ties and the like didn't move a 2 story store last year because the high income residents stopped coming. In fact, I'm sure the complete opposite is true.
I disagree with the point about perfectionism being a bad "quality". Of course its definitely not a good idea to make everything perfect; A craftsman might strive to make a perfect wooden closet but not when cooking the food he eats while he is making the closet.

Here's two points I can really relate to:

- Don't waste effort on something that isn't important.
- Focus on the next task, as in, execute in the best way possible.

They seem contradictory, but really this next point can resolve it:

- Don't do anything unimportant.

In 2007 I really wanted to study a Software Engineering and Commerce degree and the degree had a UAI requirement of 94.45.

I graduated high school that year with a UAI of 94.55.

Yes, Prolog has survived in a few niches. But my question was regarding the original vision that Prolog would lead us to an era of large-scale, logic-based, general purpose programming. Historical reviews harp on the performance problem, while I suspect that the design and personnel issues involved in using logic programming would be a much bigger factor.

BTW, where have all those skilled Prolog programmers been hiding since then?
> * Diff works best when things are single idea per line, and when control structures don't get in the way.*

Has "coding to a diff" changed your coding style?

When I know that I will have to prepare a diff for code review, I find myself writing code in a way that produces a cleaner diff. I use more vertical whitespace to collect related code into logical "paragraphs" and keep from stepping on other code when diffing.
a good call
I think the answer to this is that the suffix tree algorithm is conceptually simpler if you already know suffix trees. Personally, I find Manacher's algorithm very difficult to intuit (and I'm the one who wrote the article in this post in the first place). Its better performance is indisputable, though.
Absolutely not, but you have to make that textbook as relevant as possible to the widest population if you're going to require its usage.

Coding for motor system help
I'm trying to integrate a small electrical motor into a project that I'm working on. The basic idea is that the motor will control the flow of fluids coming out of a valve that will be released when the motor is turning. I want to have the motor connected to buttons that correspond to varied timers so that one button causes the motor to turn for a longer time than another button and so forth. I don't have any real experience coding though. What's a good place to start (i.e. what language to code in, suggested hardware, etc.)? Anything would be helpful. Thanks!

Yes, but the Python eco-system didn't remain standing in one place either. Lots more libraries, more stable and feature-full releases, and great support for bindings for well known libraries/frameworks/APIs all across the board, as Python has clearly emerged as the favorite hacker language for general purpose programming.

Quoting the article: "Every palindromic substring has a centre. For an odd-length substring, this is its middle character; for an even-length substring, this is the imaginary space between its two middle characters. Call each character and each space in the original string a position. Then there are 2N+1 positions in any string of length N (to simplify things later on, we assume there is a position just before the first character and one just after the last), and any longest palindromic substring must have one of these as its centre."

Please read the actual text of CISPA before making any judgements. It's reasonably short and not all that hard to understand. It's also nowhere near as evil as it is being made out to be.

As far as I can tell, it appears to be essentially a data-sharing bill for network intrusions, to allow companies and government to get around existing barriers to investigate network intrusions.

Public transit -- schedules vary and in many places you now have realtime arrival information. Depending on circumstances, on route may be preferable to another.

So yes, I'll have a few frequently traveled routes I look up frequently.

While we're at it: annoyance with the NextBus mobile website and apps: inability to bookmark specific trips, specify travel in terms of "I'm here, I want to be there, what's the fastest way" (I've got about a half dozen options available to me). Also a way for transit agencies to disclose issues (I've learned that several trains/buses with identical arrival times holding at several minutes out probably means some upstream blockage), and to identify routes on which there's going to be a service change (there's a route I follow which has usual destination, but a fair number of vehicles deviate from it to provide pull-through service to another location in an entirely useless direction).

That said, realtime transit arrival/scheduling information is a huge win. I can remember a time when it was a pipe dream.

Originally I was just hitting the Pinboard popular links, which don't change much day to day, so the least expensive url2png plan seemed good. Now, I'm thinking about setting up a phantom.js system for generating the thumbnails.

All that said, the url2png guys are great, and the system is stupidly simple to use, which is great for getting something off the ground quickly.

No, this guy quoting things is wrong. In the case he's referring to the defendant plea bargained and admitted guilt. They said he couldn't use the money, because it was an established fact (to which he himself confessed) that it was illegally gotten.

Whenever you see someone quote SCOTUS without providing the case, assuming they're taking shit out of context to prove a point. This guy even altered the quote slightly to make it harder to find, but the case itself is here -http://bulk.resource.org/courts.gov/c/US/491/491.US.617.87-1...
Thanks, I had a feeling it would be something like this. Looking it over that case clearly doesn't apply to this situation- the defendant there plead guilty, so it was already known that the money was illegitimately earned doing criminal activities.

SOPA was a rageview bonanza for sites like Wired and Mashable. This bill could declare the sky to be periodically be blue; so long as it contained the word "cyber" or mentioned computers, a credulous mob will vote it up.

In this particular case, venues like the EFF blog are counting on the idea that readers don't know what the ECPA is, and that they'll believe that it was somehow unlawful for companies like AT&T and Google to monitor their networks and, yes, your data for evidence of intrusions, or to share that data once it's uncovered. It is not unlawful. This bill does virtually nothing. It's probably just a ploy for attention.

I agree with this assessment, except that as a person who specializes in scaling Drupal I tend to be familar with the more common problems, and not too intimidated by them. In addition, you can now buy fairly scalable hosting from Pantheon or others.

I would add one comment: most projects fail because they don't get written, and they never get to the stage where scaling matters. Thus, I would focus on picking a tool that will allow you to get your project to the minimum viable product stage as cheaply as possible.
I'm a fairly big screw-up. Is there anyone interested in a blog post on how I got where I am?

This same Go implementation design earlier ran into some issues on Linux, too - in this case, with distributions setting conservative RLIMIT_AS limits.

The technical details are interesting (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/golang-dev/EpUlHQXWykg...) and Linus' response (http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1102.1/00233....) is also instructive.
"...On my Mac, my choices of threaded Lisp implementations was limited to OpenMCL, and in FreeBSD it's CMUCL. Because of the low-level socket and threading code we had to write, reddit would not run on my Mac, and I was always tethered to our FreeBSD development server. Not being able to program offline is a pain."

Interesting choice; the reddit guy gives up Lisp for python rather than Mac desktop for a BSD/Linux desktop. I would rather do the reverse; would move where Lisp works great on client and server.

You're suggesting that the ability to provide a "toString" method on a custom object type (aka "Class") is a bad thing, because if you set it to NULL, it will fail when called? Seriously?

By your logic, cars are bad because if you run a pipe from the exhaust to the inside of the car and sit in it with the engine running, it will kill you.

Any developer can do stupid things in any language, with any code pattern, and trying to use that as a reason not to take advantage of a language's features is ridiculous.

That's true, but segment descriptors have a not-present bit, which allows you to implement segment-level swapping.
Strategy For Startups: The Innovator’s Dilemma
Craigslist is a horrendously mismanaged business. I wouldn't be surprised to see AirBnB dwarf Craigslist soon- that's the kind of company VCs want to invest in, not something like Craigslist that has been stagnating for years.
Two items worth highlighting for consideration:

- Blanket exemption from 5 USC 552, AKA the Freedom of Information Act. While that seems potentially reasonable at first glance (since this information may represent active intelligence), this would also provide for more instances of the same kind of consequence-free "sharing" that telcos do for Internet traffic.

- Blanket exemption from liability for sharing information. See above.
Pretty hard to make you happy, eh?

I agree with you on a purely technical basis, however, this article was written for the MySQL community, was tested (only) on MySQL, and has primarily affected my only on MySQL systems, which I (and the others referenced in the article) primarily run on Linux.
By definition the concept provided means you can't have "static methods".

You get an instance of your "class" by calling createNew(), which returns an object literal it just created.

This object literal has methods attached to it, but you can't call them before you "instantiate" an "instance" by calling createNew(), so you don't have any static methods at all - just a heap of "instance methods" that may or may not operate on the instance.

Using a Prototype "class" you can very easily have true "static" and "instance" methods, that are called without and with an instance respectively.

Also, I have no idea what you mean by "add static methods in different places"?? You either:

* add a method to the constructor directly, which makes it static

FooConstructor.method = function () {...};)

* or you add it to the constructor's prototype, which makes it an instance method

FooConstructor.prototype.method = function () {...};

So true. But here's the hat trick: take the money, but keep your innocence. Understand you are in a bubble, and you may be forced to play by the rules of a hot market. But also be aware -- which your newly funded competitors are almost surely not -- that a bubble is in play. Work hard to keep customer loyalty a higher priority than maximizing the next round. Use your market power (meaning the investment market) to go for quality of investors and decency of terms (esp downside logistics); let your puppy competitors take the crazy valuation with draconian preferences.

As to the "you have history, I'm investing in the blank slate kids" problem -- again, use the leverage to find the investors who really understand the long term, and who themselves know that this is a frenzy, not a rational market. Those people, if you get them, will not jump ship the second things start to look a bit more realistic.

Focus on core competency, customer/employee loyalty, and creating great products and services.

TL; DR: Take the money, but don't let it go to your head.

ECPA primarily covers networks and attacks on networks, and incidentally protects certain forms of communication, including stored information. In general, ECPA seems to restrict government activity. I don't think it goes far enough (it protects certain types of communication more than others, and the way they were picked seems to be a historical accident.)

CISPA, as I read it, both protects networks AND "information rights holders". Given the history with DMCA, COPA, (+ SOPA, PIPA), etc., it doesn't seem at all unreasonable to think the government (and those information rights holders) will use CISPA to use the tools provided for national security to address copyright violation.

This is the same government using PATRIOT to go after local drug dealers.

I could support CISPA if it focused solely on information sharing from government to private enterprise (and protection from liability) for network or infrastructure attacks.

Most of the legitimate network-defense activities which would be permitted under CISPA are already allowed under existing laws. There might be a few corner cases around classified intelligence and uncleared entities, but this legislation is overly broad.

hi isaac,

thanks for responding, it's nice of you to acknowledge it as a bug, and say you're working on it.

> First of all, writing bug reports to Hacker News is usually a bit like complaining about the government at a bus stop.

just a little note on this one, i've made clear in my original writing this is not hate and i sent an email to substack, and ryan to some others i know. i guess i will send you an email next time as well.

not filing as a bug: you are right, i should have done that.

Buffer<->string conversion is WAY too expensive in Node: yes it is, hope you can make this way better, because we don't want to hit cpu each time we pull data from a e.g. database.

writing it to hackernews/stackoverflow: it's because i'm asking for solutions outside of nodejs domain, varnish,nginx or any other way this issue can be worked around. i'm sure you understand. and this was quite helpful as we're now deploying a few varnish and nginx servers to mitigate this problem.
So, this time it was upgrade all the way then build more, but the build a whole line then upgrade one at a time worked pretty well too.
