I was thinking the same thing - I got a lot of them in a row. If they're using standard techniques for ranking win/loss competitions, they're artificially decreasing the sigma (not entirely correct but, think of it as a margin of error) for no reason.

Funny, a website based on giving out coding problems didn't realize that coding bug. Then again, I've experienced tons of bugs when I was playing with their main software, so I'm not surprised.
Those sort of contests usually aren't as statistically significant.

The downside of nirvana's approach is when you build a solid self-funded business, doubling year over year for half a decade, then VC shows up having decided yours is an underfunded sector.

They'll pile hundreds of millions into dozens of "corporate" startups, most of whom hit the ground running after market share through predatory pricing, consequently destroying the sector.

Meanwhile, you'll find yourself unable to capture those VC dollars yourself because the VC model needs hockey stick successes to make up for the companies that go bust (recent stat here claimed 9 of 10 tech crunch startups are gone a year later). A startup can promise a hockey stick, but you have a history. Because of your solid 5 years of "just" doubling while remaining cash flow positive in an extraordinarily competitive arena, you're not providing that hockey stick.

And when that funding boom happens, and you're faced with multiple hundred million dollar pocket "startup" competitors each with 2 - 3 years of ability to sell at a loss before their inevitable rollup or death, and without deep pockets yourself despite seven figures of revenue, you're in for a few years of serious hurt. You have to execute flawlessly, not a single misstep, just to survive.
Boulder, CO might be an example. My impression is a more outdoor/adventure culture than most.

That general hypothesis seems to be supported by the massive expansion of the Galleria in recent years, including the giant new Apple store, several new restaurants, Nordstroms, etc
Could be. I do get the sense a lot of people here learned everything they know from blog posts, unfortunately.

For the rest: beta is defined as correlation to the market. Sigma is standard deviation of returns and also called risk.

Just so you know, this article might have been accurate in 2006, but it's completely outdated. Kids don't get to hang out in the mall anymore and security at the Galleria is quite strict on this. There is a very staunch curfew policy there and I haven't heard of any incidents of violence like this since probably 2006 or 2007 and I would say that's the mall's fault in the first place for not being ready security-wise. They are now and there are zero problems other than the same shoplifting that goes on everywhere.

I don't agree with the premise of this article. It makes it sound like people who don't like this upcoming show don't like to have fun.

Personally, I would love to see a show about Silicon Valley, especially one that has a lot of comedy in it. But this show portrays a glamorous lifestyle which seems really condescending and skips what puts the "silicon" in Silicon Valley.

With that said, I think Techcrunch is disagreeing just for the sake of disagreeing; it puts them in a position to put down other people (ex. pandodaily) and generate more buzz.

That's not why you need swap. Swap is because many applications will use memory when starting and then never touch it again.

You can therefor swap it out and use the extra memory for cache.

Most long term applications only need a small fraction of their startup memory.

I would love to see a real show too, but reality TV and founding a company are anathema to each other. Cheever put it best in his joke e-mail. How are you supposed to be heads down, focusing on solving the right problems when TV cameras are all around? It's not surprising that no one credible or serious actually signed up for this for fear of career suicide.

I don't think TC's trying to put down anyone either. The irony is that Lacy wanted to do her own reality TV show startup competition that ended in Las Vegas, but Randi beat her to the punch her own mainstream TV deal. So Sarah's just trying to position herself as the "serious" authority in Silicon Valley for later deals down the road even though she is very much part of the same overall trend toward superficiality and showmanship.
It's not quite that straightforward, alas.

The 10th civil senate of the Federal Court of Justice (X. Zivilsenat des BGH) has, over the years, meandered back and forth regarding the patentability of software [1].

Currently, it's hewing pretty close to the EPO's criteria, which do allow a fair amount of what most people would consider software patents (though the criteria tend to still be a bit more restrictive than those of the USPTO).

As in other European countries, an invention involving software must still be "technical", meaning that it must manipulate "controllable forces of nature" [2]. While that was originally interpreted fairly narrowly, starting with the BGH's "Dispositionsprogramm" decision, which pretty much ruled out anything that could run on a general purpose computer, recent interpretations of this "technicity criterion" have become far less restrictive.

Sad, but my company just took a step back ten years this week. We were a small company originally, very mobile IT engIneering and sales teams. If you ever came to our offices it would be a ghost town during the day if everyone was busy out on client sites. We had Citrix for access back to the office, an allowance to get whatever data plan we wanted, provided light weight laptops, and all our apps were available by remote. Then we got bought by a much bigger company. Easier to kill of our systems and move us into the collective. Now my laptop is a shitty dell that weighs a ton, and our time sheet system now only works with IE, so my iPad now can no longer work seamlessly, so I HAVE to take my laptop with me, and our office communicator system now only works on the corporate network.
No companies have to support BYOD, but it does make it feel like ten years ago with out it. 8(

Is the term Hacker/hacking been overused or misused in HN and overall?
That's something that has bordered me for a while. The concept of hacking i have is more or less about changing the behavior of something from the way it's supposed to be. I love that concept. People are using the term like it's same thing as programming.

Here in Vancouver it's not very easy to find talent these days, but I think that it's easier to retain talent.

Compared to SV your burn rate could be lower because salaries are lower and you can get significant government funding (sometimes you get back most of the salary paid to some employees, see SR&ED and IRAP).

When it comes to the ecosystem, especially mentors and angels / VCs, SV wins big time.
That is pretty cool. Certainly much more detailed and visually impressive than the apps I listed.

However, for me it also illustrates the value in not displaying details that don't matter. While the position of the sun has a big impact on my daily activities, the positions of the planets have none at all. I'd rather spend that visual real estate in a way that gives more value when I pull it up for a two second glance.
Probably an important difference would be that while Yelp users are almost by definition looking for new experiences, Groupon users are likely to be either people looking for cheap new experiences, or people looking for any cheap experiences. I mean, be honest, if price wasn't regularly a big deal to you, would you spend much time on Groupon, where the options are drastically more limited?

That is to say, the difference between running a promotional discount in a regular magazine, and running a promotional discount in a coupon magazine.
Apple is quite adamant on work weeks standards, however this is in direct conflicts with the workers (!!). In fact, workers at Foxcon and others have started preferring to work for other companies then Apple because they can't get the amount of paid overtime that they want.

Remember, China is a very different place then the US. Simply taking our own standards and transplanting them onto this area of the world will lead you to misunderstand the signals.
Why Reddit switched to Python (2005)
I really don't enjoy my own snark here and hating on Microsoft is still damn popular, but - So Mozilla and Chrome go for things like the HTML5 MMO and Microsoft goes for the "creepy thing that seems to pull stuff from my facebook account"?

And then it links to http://www.beautyoftheweb.com, where clicking "why internet explorer" shows me a page that compares IE10 to FF7 and, by visual percentage of the site, most of it is about Security FUD. Oh, and it is totally integrated with the new Windows taskbar, so they try to differentiate themselves on features that their competitors can't possibly get at that fast. Also - totally relevant for me on Linux.

But hey, it's 25 times safer and apparently eats malware for breakfast. You know, the thing that I haven't heard of since I switched to Firefox and then Linux 8 years ago.

Clicking on "for developers" greets me with "More standards. less hacked-up code." - Thanks for reminding me of the years of burning hatred I had for you. All Microsoft Marketing can do these days is offer reparations, hm? Why not spend all that money straight away on paying people to go with IE? Would surely give you a better conversion rate than trying to woo developers who grew up learning to hate you.
None of those things are really roadblocks to Getting Shit Done though, except maybe dynamic loading.

Go has plenty of support for global constant values that take the place of enumerations, even to the point of having an "iota" syntax to make initializing constants easier.

Exceptions are generally an anti-pattern in my opinion: a hack to get around the ability to return multiple values from a function, so that error conditions can be handled in-band. The other technical challenge exceptions sometimes provide -- guaranteed cleanup after code that might fail to execute -- can be handled by Go's deferred function execution.

Generics are a powerful abstraction, but Go has very good support for (un)boxed values and interfaces, so the only thing you would get from generics is a bit more type safety. The additional complexity required to support generics isn't worth it.

Dynamic loading is arguably a blocker for certain modes of development and distribution, but by not supporting dynamic loading, Go can make tremendous simplifications in its module system. Making the assumption that every go library is distributed in source form greatly reduces compatibility friction and runtime bugs. "DLL Hell" may be a "solved" problem on most systems nowadays, but there are a lot of moving parts to enable that.

The simplifications that Go makes are 100% worth it in my opinion. There is one place where Go sacrifices something that can't be replaced is that a stop-the-world garbage collector may be unacceptable for some applications. Other than that, codebases aren't actually served by having too much power in their languages, even if an individual programmer might be.
Very excited to give this talk--if any of you have particular things you'd like to see me address let me know and I'll see if I can fit it in.
I will say, in rich white folks' defense, that the particular incident that is discussed in that article was pretty shocking; it wasn't just a couple of fistfights, it was a mini-riot. We're talking about 50 kids fighting here.

The issue of violence amongst teens has not been solved yet in St. Louis, even if the Galleria figured it out. The Delmar Loop, the other area talked about there, still has a major problem with petty crime and even had a shooting related to the spontaneous gathering of urban teenagers quite recently. The businesses can't have this both ways. They want all the increased business but they don't want to deal with paying for security. SLPD cannot solve these problems on their own and the Loop has dropped the ball on security and people are well aware of it now.
I always find it ironic when Foxconn is criticized for not treating their employees well when the fact is, Foxconn has done more to alleviate poverty in China than any single other company I can think of.

I live a few blocks away from the Foxconn factory in Shenzhen and whenever I try to bring up the "poor working conditions at Foxconn" topic with locals, I most often get a blank stare as if I had suggested something completely absurd. The truth is, Foxconn jobs are vastly superior to most alternatives down here.

I would recommend Western "do-gooders" to keep in mind that Chinese people are much more concerned about their own working conditions and well being than anyone else. They are in a much better position to address their own problems and if they ever need help from us Westerners, I'm sure they won't hesitate to ask. Meanwhile, I suggest we humbly mind our own business.
That's not pedantic, those are the same metrics retailers use when making decisions.

That's what I thought. The address your user-space program uses and the actual address in memory are two different things, aren't they?

Isn't this what enables the operating system to scramble the allocations it gives you to make it harder to implement a buffer-overflow attack?
The memory issue at hand isn't the same as the one that plagues the conservative GC. This is a Windows-specific problem around the reservation of contiguous address space, not a failure of the GC to collect memory that isn't in use.
Would love to see you guys talk about handling high volume, long running requests. Especially if you're using NodeJS for it.
Dear OP, you are asking the wrong question -- a person with 1 mil or even 100k has access to different investment vehicles than a person with 10k or 100 bucks to invest.

TL;DR: save at least 10% of your gross earnings and earn compound interest with savings. Split your money between 4 ETFs like RSP, DIA, QQQQ, and VEU.

1. Get on a budget. Save 10% of what you earn or pay off your credit cards first by saving 15%. Read "The Richest Man in Babylon"

2. Mutual funds suck. One out of 10 years will be terrible and they only spend a few years on top. How can you get consistent returns? They have high fees. Instead invest in equity traded funds or ETFs. Read "The Big Secret for the Small Investor" by J. Greenblatt and "One up on Wall Street" by Peter Lynch.
Be a value investor not a trader! Plan to let your investments sit and grow for years.
If you want to buy individual stocks, pick for the list of "dividend aristocrats". These are safe bluechips and you can re-invest the dividends for a compounding effect!

3. The fees and limited investment choices make 401ks a bad deal, even with matching. A self directed Roth IRA will tax shelter your growth, but you have to invest with money you paid income tax on (unlike a 401k).

4. Bank account interest rates are a joke! For savings you get 00.05% CD 00.35% Over 500k in money market 00.3%
Inflation is around 3%!

5. For small investment amounts, a US Treasury savings bond is not bad. There is no charge to buy or sell them and you do not have to pay taxes until you cash them in. I Bonds pay the rate of inflation and possibly a bit more. There are some penalties if you cash these bonds in before 12 months pass.

Be aware of things like how much it will cost to buy and sell an investment and when you will have to pay taxes on your earnings.

For me it was very hard to save until I created separate accounts to keep my funds in. I have been value investing in stocks and my portfolio has earned 8 - 10 % growth plus 3% in dividends. The dividends get reinvested so my holdings grow like a savings account.

The point was that there are so many reasons. Besides climate change a number of issues were brought up such as energy security, conservation, and nationalism. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of books that discuss these reasons. Should this book be forced to repeat the same things that have been said over and over again just for the sake of doing it?

Recycling Sunday: Innovative Message About Recycling
Yeah. I think this will end up being a great way to teach kids an assembly language. Usually, you end up doing lame assembly projects like lighting a few diodes or dispensing change from an imaginary vending machine.

When I learned assembly, the class had us typing our programs into a Vax computer older than I am and watching everything execute in a debugger and doing page after page after page of hex math by hand, or writing out the actual hex values for our programs by hand. To this day, I remember that 0x20FE is the shortest infinite loop. Every byte wasted lowered your grade. That was all very educational, but not the least bit fun. The best part was at the very end of the class where I learned a bunch of cool tricks from reading the professor's solutions. He wouldn't show us any of them until the whole course was over.

With the DCPU, your programs might help you destroy enemy space ships, mine and scan for resources, or even hack enemy computers. It could become almost like the demo scene of old and knowing Notch, it will be waaaaaaay more fun than learning assembly usually is.

I probably used the wrong term. What I meant is that for small cap stocks, there is a very high rate of return over a 20+ year timespan, but in any given year there is a lot of uncertainty. Venture capital strikes me as being similar in that sense.
