Hey, I wouldn't have a book or really anything without hacker news. I'll give away a ton of free books here. Just email me: j@onswipe.com with the subject line, HN Free Book and include your twitter handle if you have one. Will mail and sign. Sadly, DRM won't let me give kindle or digital version :(
Good point, though I'd say different architectures rather than different ARM architectures, now that we have Android/x86 in the wild, too.
Let me know what you think :) There's a lot of stuff in there and you may see that I'm a bit OCD about labeling things. I doubt most people have a sign marking the bedroom. But everything else in the house has a sign, so...

If you're wondering, that railway leads to the dungeon with the end portal. The dragon is dead and his egg warped into the end portal back before I could collect it. Sorry about that. I'm not quite clear on whether I could just delete the region files for the end and make it all respawn, but I might want to try that some time.

There's also a fairly complete map of the area centered on the house in a chest upstairs at the end of the hall. And there are a few random outposts in dungeons. If you ever get lost, there should be lots of markers pointing the way home.

Nah, I think the standards are pretty universal. It isn't surprising they want more hours. It isn't like they love working, they love money (a very universal standard). The reason why it is in direct conflict with the workers is they aren't getting a fair wage. Overtime isn't a sign of happy workers, it is a sign of mismanagement and low wages.

Sometimes we can predict which companies will have trouble raising money, but it depends a lot on what happens during the 3 months. E.g. a pair of very nerdy founders will ordinarily have trouble raising money, but if they can make a graph rise steeply that problem tends to go away.

>You pay more. Sometimes a lot more
Well, strange concept. Since every experience at a restaurant is carrying a risk of not enjoyment, I guess many people would not be willing to increase their risk by paying more. On the other hand, usually becoming a regular should lead to better service.

An anecdote from my life. I never used to eat uni (sea-urchin) in my local Sushiya here in Tsukiji. However, at some stage the Sushi-chef recommended it to me free of charge since it was season and he wanted to offer me a special treat. Since I liked the taste I regularly add uni to my order. Just by giving me this one uni for free he increased his revenue from me by 10 USD.

Lots of jobs are way more dangerous than assembly iPads. How would you die while assembling an iPad?

So a variety of US jobs against Foxconn isn't exactly comparing like with like.

I think this stat can exonerate Foxconn work as pretty safe even by US standards without condemning the US.
Grossly overused and misused overall. Too many newbies these days call themselves "hackers" just cuz they know how to edit some CSS.

For me, if you can use the terminal freely and build something functional REAL quickly by tweaking frameworks/apis, then you are at the starting point of a "hacker".

I think if you have high Karma on HN, you probably care enough about the topics here to be a true Hacker.
The article is from 2005?
Does finding substring palindromes have any practical purpose at all? Just curious.
Ooh if it's a subsequence I am not aware of the solution. For a substring though, you can just concatenate S and its reverse , find the suffix array and corresponding height array in O(n), and parse through the suffix array looking for suffixes with high height array values where one suffix is from S and the next suffix is from its reverse.

Generally speaking anything you can do with a suffix tree you can do with suffix arrays... though oftentimes it is more complicated
> After spending the entire summer working entirely in Lisp, it's nearly impossible to work in another language and not say to myself, "If only this were Lisp..." Lisp has many goodies that make programming in it a joy: the REPL, macros and the lack of syntax are some. I won't go into the details, but rest assured, it's cool. People become Lisp zealots for a reason.

I honestly don't understand this sentiment. For me it's nearly impossible to work in lisp and not think "If only this were some other language..." The baseline functionality I'm used to from other languages, like even type checking, is absent. It's like writing in assembly just for the degree of control you have as compared to managed code. I mean yeah writing something in assembly can be fun in its own way, but the result will almost certainly be awful, and you'll solve problems that have built-in solutions in other languages.
The term has certainly evolved. Prior to the computer revolution, someone describing your work as hacking would be insulting your work (and you).

Tron and WarGames brought "hacking" in the computer sense to the forefront, referring to gaining unauthorized access to computer systems. It's not quite clear how it went from being paid more than you're worth to unauthorized entry of a skilled nature, though I suppose "hacking" may go back to the physical act of hacking at a lock or a door through persistence. Instead of pursuing a goal without the correct tools, now hacking implies pursuing a goal without the correct tools because no such tools exist; it now involves its own skill.

The scope of the term has expanded from unauthorized access to a system to unauthorized modifications to a system. I think that expansion is fair. Moving from unauthorized modifications to a system to making a new system or authorized modifications is where I think many of us draw the line.

If you have a neat idea but the source code and development environment are designed to help you implement that idea, it's not hacking. If your idea requires changing things that somebody's lawyer thinks ought not be changed, then there's a case to call that hacking.

Dunno about its overuse in HN (haven't seen any examples) but the mainstream media and a few overly ambitious coders (and more so the noncoder people who hire them) are definitely misusing the term. Words like "jealous" and "decimate" are also commonly misused but nobody notices.

Thumbnails are ok, but when you'll somehow visualize the heat of the discussions I'm gonna be an fully engaged early adopter.
In this review, at least, there's no claim the grid is in crisis. The book's title claims there's an energy crisis. Apparently the book also claims the grid is inefficient, and fixing it up would help address the energy crisis.

That comment sounds like a knee-jerk reaction from somebody who didn't even bother reading the review carefully. If he can't even get through a review of the book without flying off the handle over something that wasn't there, it probably isn't any loss if he doesn't read the book itself.

Who to believe, indeed.

I'm curious - How many of those "only occurs on Android device X with OS version Y" issues were actually problems with the device X / OS Y combination versus how many were actual bugs that (for whatever reason) were only showing up in that particular case?

According to the ZipLine CEO here:

http://thenextweb.com/google/2012/04/02/zipline-ceo-stop-whi...

most of the issues they saw along those lines were general problems that happened to be manifesting in a particular situation. I'm curious about whether or not that experience is typical or, for instance, if ZipLine saw that because they were working on a framework first and a specific game second.

Yeah, the buttons get out of hand, but the information they would represent is greatly needed. And how do you encourage people to rate what they read and interacted with? Based on the stats people post about the amount of traffic driven by an HN or Reddit submission ... the vast majority of users don't interact via any sort of voting mechanism at all.

I am working on a site now that is heavily based on passive activity voting, users have no idea how their actions are being used by the site to rank itself. Their inputs have much less weight than purposeful actions where both parties are aware of the event.

It is almost like you need an agent that votes in certain public ways (sentiment analysis,summarization,etc) to decide if comments snarky, funny, off topic, etc.

Frankly, if the book indeed focuses on electricity generation only, it misses out on a big chunk of the problem. Electricity is NOT going to be a major issue. We could go on with non-CO2 producing nuclear power plants for another 100 000 years with the amount of fissible material on Earth. The big issue is going to be "how can we replace gas/fuel" ? If I remember correctly, 70% of the oil is the US is used to power cars only. We can have natural gas combusting engines for a while, as a replacement, but what's after? Bio-Fuels won't work: you have to put more energy to produce them than what you get out of it. It has a negative yield. Wind power is not transportable. There's no way you can make a normal car move with solar panels. How about electric cars ? Well, it's going to be massively expensive, unpractical to recharge, and there's nothing indicating you can effectively use it to power heavy trucks needed for goods transportation.

Of course, the issue will not come up suddenly. It's all going to be progressive, and when the petrol prices rise to very high levels and stay there, there will be running innovation to provide good alternatives. I'm not too worried. Market will adapt.
Forth's necessity of carrying the stack in short-term memory while coding and debugging has seemed to me its deepest flaw as a tool for mortals.
Perhaps a little offtopic, but I just went and bought Sol for my iPhone based on your post here, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to have it set alarms from within the app. It seems to only have two screens: the main screen that displays the wheel, and if you click the i it takes you to the screen where you can add cities and change the type of dawn you want displayed.

Do you mean that you can use the displayed times to set your alarm yourself? Because it does not seem to be a feature of the app.

EDIT: Wow. I'm sorry. Apparently my search found the app called "Sol: Daylight Clock", that appeared on first glance to be the app you were talking about. I went googling after this post to see if I could find the dev's website for instructions or something and discovered there is another app called "Sol: Sun Clock" that appears to be the actual app you were describing.

So that was a waste of $.99. Anyone who is interested in this app after reading the parent comment, make sure you get the right one. The first one I bought has minimal functionality in comparison.
I like how they refer to reddit as a "FreeBSD box." My guess is that it's something much, much larger now.

The point is that it would be a rare reader indeed who doesn't believe in one or more justifications for increasing our energy efficiency. The country is so polarized that people from different sides of the aisle won't agree on the color of the sky for fear that the other side will gain some partisan advantage. The concrete issue here is that conservatives have many, many reasons for addressing the energy crisis, but they will not join any fight that requires them to admit the existence of human-caused global warming or admit the validity of any motives couched in environmental language. Those two issues are the kiss of death for any nationwide cooperation on energy issues.

Not that there aren't troublemakers on the left as well. Any talk of reducing dependence on other countries is liable to rile up people who think more and more interdependence is the cure to everything. If we all drink from the same well, then nobody will poison it, right? Right. And how dare we treat other countries as scary and unreliable; how offensive is that? If only we were more dependent on them, we would be forced to give up our xenophobia. Discussing motives is a non-starter on either side of this cursed issue.

Hell, willingness to set aside that discussion won't be enough; it will take discipline and determination, because opportunistic blowhards will speculate about motives simply to derail any bipartisan cooperation. "Are you sure you want to collaborate with those people? You don't share their kooky, immoral motives, do you?" Energy efficiency has so much polarizing baggage, yet such a broad appeal for a variety of reasons, that setting justifications aside is like declaring a cease-fire. Without it, nobody will stick their heads up and accomplish anything. I'm very happy to see people yadda-yaddaing the justifications. It's the first step towards cooperation.
My understanding is that swap would delay or prevent the OOM killer from kicking in. Is that wrong?
It seems to me that this situation only exists for those well connected in the Bay Area. Perhaps smart money will be looking for new areas that are still underfunded.
If we weren't constrained by how few reactors we've built, we'd probably store electrical energy as fuel using http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haber_process to create liquid ammonia from hydrogen (electrolyzed water) and nitrogen (distilled air). Batteries may eventually become competitive in recharge rate and useful lifetime, though.
Interesting article, the trend is Big Data will be part of entrepreneurship from the get go. Businesses will have to use Big Data to reach competitive advantages and survive. The analogy with the Oil industry is understandable, the Big Data industry is on it's early stages and it's ripe for innovation, expansion and consolidation.

The 28 Corporations Supporting CISPA
I thought there were no thieves in Australia either.
Exactly. I was doing some JRuby + Monkeybars + Kinect stuff and needed some speed in processing the image data. I tried using Mirah but I ran into some issues and fell back to plain Java. :(

Being able to use Ruby or a Ruby-like language throughout would be immense.
As someone who is really, really new to Lisp (worked through the Little Schemer, now in Seibel's "PCL", just started learning about this QuickLisp thing that you might have heard about... ;)), I've been wondering about the whys and wherefores of the Reddit switch.

Do you think that if Reddit developers were faced with the same decision today, that the progress you mention might indeed push the pendulum the other way?

Mirah is my favorite programming language for the JVM <full stop>

I've long wondered why someone didn't take the learnings from the Ruby/Python languages and from the functional languages, built a lovely little syntax and stuck it on the JVM. [Instead, we get Scala...] [Note: I really want to learn Clojure, but it's a little far from my day-to-day to focus on right now].

From mirah.org:
In general, Mirah could be seen as a "Ruby with static types"

So Mirah is Ruby + static types + type inference! You get the clean syntax of Ruby with the terseness of scripting and/or type-inferred functional languages with the performance of a compiled language. It's like peanut butter + chocolate + bacon + Himalayan pink salt.
Not that I know of. Gnome Shell makes heavy use of JavaScript, but in a way unrelated to GTK+ itself. JavaScript bindings are of course also nothing new in the Qt world; KDE has had KJSEmbed for many years to write KDE/Qt apps in JavaScript, and Qt itself offers QtScript to generate ECMAScript bindings to Qt APIs for years as well.

Qt 5 goes quite bit beyond simply allowing you to access traditional C++-style APIs from JavaScript, however, it essentially implements an all-new UI toolkit based around a declarative language dubbed QML that is actually JavaScript and lets you jot down UIs and their behaviors in a sort of JSON-plus-logic fashion.

"Business Plans are Dead"

Good riddance. It's so frustrating to waste countless hours working on a detailed plan that you and anyone who reads it know is wrong. Such a pointless exercise. It is important to have a plan, but not a formal business plan per se.
I've used Qt for a few years, and I feel like the move away from C++ is a mistake. I don't see the advantage of QML over HTML and Javascript.

But the reason why there is an explicit flag in the first place is that there's a lot of code out there that doesn't work with pointers >= 0x80000000, or when pointers could differ by more than that. Things like pointer "tagging", and signed integer overflow bugs, are examples of the sort of code that can be affected. Without knowing details about the Go code generation and runtime/garbage collection, it would be a bit risky to just set the flag and hope for the best.
I'm back from rock climbing and am fixing up some of the issues that were causing re-authenticating to be necessary, sorry about that.
Meanwhile in Australia... Zzzz...
I wouldn't really call this a "move away from C++", necessarily. In practice, you end up writing your backend in C++ and your frontend in QML; the backend proffers data models the QML then pours into a user interface.

As for the advantages of QML over HTML and JavaScript - well, a sane layout model for one, proper support for modules/packages, ...
Well – the one thing I'll say is that interview processes like that screen out people who are both good and know what they're worth – which is one of the subtle subtexts in much of the hiring processes being discussed/described here – everyone wants the cheap rockstar – not the rockstar that expects rockstar prices and rockstar access... or well, few people do and those people don't use these sorts of hiring mechanisms.

> Is your business large enough? Most companies are not large enough to be backed by venture capital. To raise venture capital, companies should be in multibillion-dollar markets or have the potential to make revenues of more than one hundred million dollars a year.

That seems to be a nonsensical and arbitrary figure pulled out of thin air. Let's say hypothetically there's a business that needs $1m to start, the maximum revenue it can make is $50m/year of which $20m is profit. Why shouldn't they raise venture capital? The business would be providing a return for the investors because the business would be making money. Not every company needs to be making billions of dollars to exist.

VCs make their money by investing less in a company than their stake is/will be worth, if they invest $1m for 10% of the company and that company is then making $20m/year profit they have made a worthwhile investment... haven't they?

I don't know. There are still a lot of things for which CL has no well-tested, widely-used, out-of-the-box solution, and someone looking for a reason to use another system can pretty easily find it.

The situation is improving, though, and will continue to improve as long as people scratch CL itches instead of switching to something else.

It's a social problem unlikely to be solved by a technical solution. When it's an open flat democracy and votes from hordes of new users have the same weight as elder ones it is pointless. They'd just start flagging for spam or offtopic to hide dissenting comments (like it's done in youtube).
