It seems like threads only become paginated when they become closed for comments. I think this makes sense in some ways. I noticed it because I way testing, went to sleep, woke up and refreshed the thread I was testing with and everything broke.

Your approach is what I was thinking of doing. It's good to hear that it's working for you. Do you perform any queueing or waiting? I was worried that the reportedly aggressive rate limiter might block someone who opened a few large threads at once.

IMHO, whole selling point of app store was manual, rigid review framework for each app. Now, even if Apple will not ban all apps built on top of clutch.io, quality of apps in store degrade for sure.

Strict apps review process is a feature, not a bug (i am actually "apple hater", but I see why app store successful)

Because you want frictionless feedback with your customer. The less friction the more feedback.

That's a damn good idea. And it wouldn't take a mint to implement it. You could implement and back it with a basket of digital currencies like bitcoin, liberty reserve and anything else - LD or WoW gold if you're feeling frisky. While there's a drawback in relying on a centralized entity to process it, the fact that it can be traded peer to peer w/o any accounts, fees or auditing makes up for that fact. In a way, Bitcoin is headed in the long run for more centralization either way; whether because the block chain is already too long for newbies to download, and they have to rely on third party wallets, or because ultimately we'll find ourselves in a situation where 51% of the coins and possibly 51% of the processing power is in the hands of some entity. A floating basket of virtual currencies that operated the way you're talking about would mitigate the risk of one party ever controlling it, especially if the data as to what was held in reserves, volume, etc. were made public on an ongoing basis.

You are misreading it.

Blackburn is not comparing in state and out state. He's talking exclusively about out of state. The state has no power to regulate out of state companies. No matter how much the state wants to, it just doesn't have that power.

What Blackurn is saying is that the regulations are imposing burdens on those retailers, and the the state has no legal right to do so.

The taxes are owed by the citizen/purchaser regardless.

If the citizens are choosing to not pay it, how is that the retailer's issue?
It seems to me that pretty much every mass shooting (the one this week in Oakland, Congresswoman Giffords, Virginia Tech, Columbine, etc) have one thing in common: they were not perpetrated by people who would be characterized as "criminals" before the act, but by normal/unstable people who flipped and if they had not had easy access to guns the outcome would likely have been very different

State taxes should discriminate against in-state retailers, since people who live in the state are the ones that vote on the taxes. That's how laws should and do work: county property taxes discriminate against property owners in that county, speed limits apply to drivers on that road, etc.
It seems as though HN had a nerdgasm, and now everybody wants to make an emulator for something that's not even released. What is the point of this? Everybody here knows it's possible to emulate a CPU in any Turing complete language, so why do we need an emulator for the same computer in every programming language there is?
The main hurdle is getting a block of execution large enough to make it worthwhile trying alternatives and absorbing the cost of setup and finish. I suspect some form of STM would help a lot since you could then run multiple threads of code and only "commit" the winner. That allows a larger execution block.

I also think software people still have a innate fear of "wasting" CPU/memory/disk which is hard to overcome.
The crossover point seems to be high enough in the graph that it's not reached very often in practice

I remember a study posted here a few months back that supported the notion that most web apps have a certain "steady state" that they reach after they start up, where almost all the types of variables are known, and most of the funkier "dynamic" changes don't happen. If one can get a JIT to remember the tracing information from session to session, it should be able to run as fast as or faster than C.
I realized that I sounded that way after I was unable to edit it :-/ Expressing meaning via written text = tricky.
If had problems compiling or running it, please post the code you were testing against, a stack trace in case of a crash would also be helpful!

> IMHO, whole selling point of app store was manual, rigid review framework for each app.

With half a million apps in the store, I wouldn't count on much more than a cursory review.

From my reading of the Clutch.io home page, this is exactly how the current version of the Facebook app works. It changes functionality quite significantly without actual app updates.
Nope. AI is a big, complicated field into which tons of man-hours have been poured, and you aren't going to stumble upon the "secret ingredient" with your vague armchair philosophizing about the nature of cognition.

Look, for example, at audio compression. The last few decades have seen a lot of progress in this field, which lately has tapered off as most of the low-hanging fruit has already been picked. Now, say I come along with nothing but the most cursory understanding of how sound is encoded digitally, and say "Well, until we figure out how to give a computer the qualitative experience of harmony, I feel that we will never have truly effective audio compression." Would you say I was contributing anything of value to the discussion?
"Supporters of the treasurer's move say it's a simple matter of fairness, with tourists picking up a portion of the tab for the police, transit and street cleaning they enjoy while visiting."

We get some of that as well. It's not enough that it's a problem yet, so we just handle it manually, but I've imagined routing it automatically. E.g., if 99/100 of replies to email type X are to John Doe, I'd probably just automatically forward all of it to John Doe. Or make John the Reply-To address, like LinkedIn does with invitation emails.

For now, you could just fake the auto-forwarder and see if people like it. E.g., forward the message on with the kind of From line and automatic header that you'd use on an auto-forwarder.

Eric, firstly I love your site, very nice landing page.

I'm curious on why a developer would want to pay for your solution to what seems like a problem that most can easily solve themselves with very little investment ? (Dynamic updates, pre-caching HTML/JS and presenting it locally for rendering).

The second component you offer on first blush is the JS wrapper / bridge to the native UI widgets which although might be nice to have most seasoned developers may find it a hard sell.

Cross platform would be compelling although the concern there being that the JS bridge is (obviously) iOS centric and may be difficult on other platforms ( Android / Blackberry / win 7 ).

Like I said, looks great I'm just curious what the value add would really be for a high volume application where cost to develop would be less than the pricing you offer (which is also of course recurring).
But it does indicate Nokia / winphone should go after RIMs lunch and not chase Apple, so I think the framework for analysis suggested is pretty useful.

Nice one! And the fact that Microsoft already has Skype is interesting in this context as well.
The consensus from the tech pundits is that carriers make more money from Android and iOS sales (as well as Android letting the carriers install their own software). WP7 kickbacks to the carriers were much, much less. Nokia is trying to change that.

Makes sense, a good salesman is going to steer customers to maximize profits. This was taking it a bit too far, though. For the record, I've rarely reconsidered my purchase, and when I do my opinion is usually reversed when I load up the Zune app.
and there we run into the problem of one size fits all design. you hate the stylus and i prefer them. it comes down to what you are using your mobile tech for.

with the psions keyboards i could get 30-40 wpm typing. with a stylus i was down to around 20wpm. typing on touch screens is a chore and stuggles approach 20wpm.

but with stylus i also had the option of doodling info on screen. at higher resolution than a finger can achieve. i could get signatures, scribble a hasty note in freehand.

i don't think it should be a requirement but rather an option. but without the option i would lose interest towards a device that has a stylus option. but even then i prefer a keyboard more and currently use a samsung galaxy pro.

Browser Alerts with ASP.NET 4.5 and SignalR
I've worked for a gaming site under the same constraints (probably stricter because real money was involved with nearly every transaction, no caching allowed).

Hibernate caching can surely be helpful, but you make it sound like a silver bullet and like there's no other approaches. There are plenty without tying yourself to J2EE hell. A little bloom filtering with memcached or redis can work wonders and might be more predictable than an opaque caching layer that can make you very unhappy once your working set exceeds a "magical" threshold (been there, with hibernate).

Weird, it looks like somebody came through and downvoted all the comments on this story but didn't leave one of their own. I guess haters are, indeed, gonna hate.
I did a project for this purpose that took 2.5 days to complete. It was one of the few reasons my resume didn't go into the trash, or so I'm told. (There were other contributing factors, certainly.) The benefit of showing that you can actually write code is more important than creating something you deem sufficiently complex. My project was mundane and straightforward, a cloning of one library's functionality into a more generalized sort of environment.

The point of this is to market yourself as an Actual Programmer, and it doesn't take much time or effort to reach that point. (Although, in my case, I was distinguishing myself from the plethora of generic comp sci students, and you might have a higher barrier.) After all, whoever hires you will _really_ judge based on how well you interview, which is just a few hours of your life.

Ask PG and YC Founders: Why doesn't YC do rolling admissions?
What is it about how the 3 month long program functions that (1) makes a semester approach ideal and/or (2) prohibits a rolling admissions process?

Press around demo day? Getting all the important investors in one room for three days? YC program activities are designed to be experienced in order? Comraderie among founders of the same "class"? Analyzing applications in bulk? Interviewing in bulk? etc.

What are the downsides of the "semester" approach?

What would be the benefits if YC were to move to rolling admissions?
Well, I think what happened was that this morning everybody saw that Notch had released the spec, and then about 1% of our ranks said "Hey I bet it would be a fun project to implement this spec in my favorite language! I'll bet that definitely nobody else is going to do this." Then that poor, misguided 1% set to work, and the rest is history.
So what's your point?
I am still at a loss as to why one must obsess over an attractive woman, especially if there is an expectation that one's advances will not be well received.

ctide didn't say anything of the sort. I think ctide was trying to generalise from programmers -> people not implying all of humanity.

No, then if you don't drink, you simply don't participate in one of the most prominent ways people socialize. There was no implication of sub-humanity there. Strawmen are bad.

Even including Islamic countries in the set, drinking is still one of the most prominent ways people in general socialize on average.
A single member LLC does nothing to shelter you from taxes over a sole proprietorship, and in many states requires you to file for additional taxes and fees. It also makes your taxes unnecessarily complicated without any real benefit.

Yahoo Lays Off 2,000 Employees - 14% of Workforce
First, thanks for the compliment!

However about the idea that people can easily build this themselves, I'm not quite convinced. I think it's possible to build 70% of the solution in a short amount of time, but that last 30% is so very fiddly (speaking from experience here.) Some of the big apps have built their own versions of this, and have gotten a piece of it wrong or have learned hard lessons along the way. It's things like race conditions when syncing, reducing bandwidth by downloading intelligently, etc.

The other thing is that this is just the tip of the iceberg. The plan is to solve these same problems on Android, and then to include a comprehensive A/B testing suite, to build drop-in frontend components on top of this platform, and other cool stuff.
Looking at the potential for this technology, and seeing that it being used for what amounts to nothing more than shoving your iphone in your face 24/7 is bothersome. It's just an incremental step towards being on Facebook a little bit more. Why isn't this technology being developed for surgeons? Mechanics? Engineers? Police? Disabled people?

Well, the answer's obvious: it's not where the money is. It's sad that actual advancement to our society is only getting the funding through piggy-backing on our increasing intrusive means of entertainment.

It doesn't seem to me that calling the address "noreply@" adds friction. It does seem to me that calling it "mail@" encourages your customers to put messages into a bin that has to be manually sorted by a person/team with limited resources, which may potentially increase friction.

It goes without saying though that regardless of the name, you should still have somebody checking the inbox.
In my experience Indian workers are a bad bet. The average quality of work I've gotten from Filipinos is higher, for slightly less money. Filipinos on average make more of an effort to understand requirements and seem to take more pride in their work. The best Indian talent is at a higher level than what you can generally find in the Philippines, but I wouldn't expect to get that.
I was recently lucky enough to be in a conversation with an ex-VC who, in the process of discussion, illuminated me on a variety of things, but one of the things that stuck was this:

"A company should never forget what its business is." Pennsylvania Railroad was at the top of its game, evaluated as the best run company in America, and was projected to have nothing but upsides. Within ten years of that point, they were bankrupt.

If you'd asked the executives of the company "What business are you in?", you likely would have gotten "the train business" as an answer, when in fact, the real answer was "transporting people and goods."

The train was, for all purposes, just the vehicle (in all senses) used to get that done. They focused on what they thought were their core competencies, and as a result, went the way of the Dodo.

I think it's interesting as it applies to Yahoo because, frankly, who knows what their core business is anymore, or what their direction is? Even with other semi-ambiguous "web" companies, you can usually target what, or how the company makes its money, and how they can expect to make their money in the coming months and years, but Y! has shifted gears so many times over the years, and made so many false steps into new markets, only to backpeddle out of those same markets just as quickly, I think it's hard for them, a rather successful business with a ton of money in the bank, to know where their money comes from tomorrow.
When it sounds like somebody is saying something totally crazy, before you jump down their throat, try taking a step back and see if there's a more reasonable way to interpret it. Even exceptionally clear statements in English can often be taken two ways — this is one of the reasons that writing instruction manuals is so devilishly hard — and it's unreasonable to expect even that level of clarity from everyone all the time.

In this particular case, it's more likely that the grandparent meant "this is something that most people do — programmers are not unusual in this regard, so it's weird to single them out."
