No, his hard work on Minecraft made him famous--I'll give you that. But when he released his MMO the other day, he probably had 1 million people who at least wanted to check it out. Now the new game will be judged on its own merits but Notch's Internet celebrity gave him instant traction.
Nice work. Interesting way to visualize.

One request, in the UI, where you have checkboxes, can you add 'exclusive' select. So for example, I want to see ONLY 'acquisitions' made; right now, we have to deselect everything else manually.
Happened to me, it sucks - luckily it was on a small site and not one that I was relying on for income. Good lesson not to rely on third party advertisements in the future.
This is exciting. It shows how different Google is to Microsoft and other companies that produce these "future product" videos. Google appears to have made real world progress, rather than just a great marketing video. I can't wait to find out what functionality these early prototypes have!
My apologies. The original comment referenced guitarhero-5.com, but apparently this was a typo by the Google affiliate and should have been guitarhero-4.com (see http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3803746). This would completely invalidate my comment, prompting me to delete it, except that guitarhero-4.com is also a thin affiliate site - so the original point stands. But my post is indeed confusing, my apologies.

I think this is a little naive. If Notch opened a burrito stand, he'd atleast get some press... 'Billionaire Game Developer Ditches Video Games for Burritos' and a bunch of people would eat a burrito just to see why.

Having no professional network, no twitter followers, no blog audience is starting from zero. The author is saying that launching a startup from this position is more difficult than it would otherwise be.

Of course it can be done or we wouldn't be here. It's just harder. The author was telling how.
Perhaps you are wired differently than most[1], but my bet is you're experiencing the same phenomenon that people think they can supertask, but really can't. Or they're the 1 in 1000 that can actually drive (or play pool, or, or...) as well or better after "a couple beers" as 100% sober.

But, I could be wrong too.

Head mounted displays have been available for years. The fact that Sergey Brin is able to test a prototype demonstrates nothing.

Admittedly, if they do have the hardware nailed, then these would be cool.
This accords with my experience. I have a lousy academic publication record, partly because I wasn't that bothered about getting the next post-doc (although I was never short of offers, strangely enough) and partly because I liked to build things that facilitated research, which was a gap in our field of research which nobody seemed to have the time to fill. That isn't publication material, but it was a lot of fun and allowed me to investigate all sorts of interesting avenues.
Ugh. I know the feeling.

I once answered a job ad - on HN no less! - asking if I had ever wanted to create a programming language and saying I should contact this company to show them if I had.

Well, I was a PL researcher by the end of undergrad. So of course I sent them my research paper, my senior thesis, and my project link.

Turned out they make a mobile furniture-sale application. They've got really cool guys working on it who've done things like compilers or languages before, but when it came right down to it, they stopped calling me back when they realized I haven't done mobile development before.

<frustration>For fuck's sake, if you wanted an experienced mobile dev, ASK FOR ONE! And if you asked for a PL researcher, WHAT ELSE DID YOU EXPECT? AND WHY ARE YOU EMPLOYING COMPILER EXPERTS TO WORK ON SELLING FURNITURE?!</frustration>

It would be really nice certain companies stopped trying to make themselves sound cool or important, and just let job-seekers know what they are hiring for. Obscuring your intent, in hiring, is equivalent to wanting a bad match.

Ah, good point, my estimate of their hardware spending wasn't that high. With 3000+ employees, depending on average total compensation, it might be close. That said, I would still guess that they'd choose greater developer productivity and agility over savings on server costs.

Are most Androids 32-bit? Doesn't this issue impact the GO Android SDK adoption?
I don't get why people are using RGB hex values. I guess all of us find it much easier to read and understand rgb(230, 30, 30) than #e61e1e. And if we don't have to support IE8, I think hsl(0, 80%, 51%) is even better.
Oh yeah thanks. I guess I'm doing it wrong :) Glad to see some work on that front.
I am sorry if the post puts Go in a bad light. That wasn't my intention. You shouldn't read the post as "32-bit Go is unusable" - read it as "If you encounter a garbage collection issue in your 32-bit program then you can use the rules mentioned in the post to fix the issue".
Yeah, but it's like an axe. The 964 replaced the handle, the 993 replaced the head.

The 996 replaced both the head and the handle at the same time - but all 911s have evolved along the same lines,and the 996 just followed that line.
How do these work ? Do they project on the lens, or on your retina ? Is there any possibility these might be good for people who already wear glasses?

For all we know those might've been regular glasses without any functionality.
In the photo, the design of the glasses looks like the prototype images that were shown when the glasses were announced.

But head mounted displays made by Google haven't been available for years. This is coming from the company who are massively pioneering self driving cars. Those were around before google became involved but since then Google has arguably made much more progress than anyone else (At least to the extent where there cars are most tested and have garnered the most publicity).
I see where you're coming from, but software is a lot different from banking.

"You have to get a job right away." definitely isn't true or good advice for a programmer. You can learn a lot more a lot faster and add more impressive pieces to your portfolio by working on your own projects, open source, or contracting than by accepting a bad job at some dysfunctional company.

> Why is there so much sugar?! Can't a keyword just be a keyword?

Statements based on keywords are syntactic sugar. What I'm seeing here in Rust is the complete opposite, building an iteration statement from language built-ins. It does include some sugar in it (and "for" is a special keyword) but the semantics of the construct is based on lambda calculus and other lower level constructs in Rust.

In general, it's better that a language has as little special syntax that cannot be constructed from elementary blocks. The gaps are then bridged by adding a little sugar coating to make programming convenient (for humans) but keeping the core language clear and concise (for interpreters and compilers).

For example, in C, you cannot define your own loop structures and you're stuck with for, do and while (C macros are so crappy that they don't count). Haskell, on the other hand, does not have any special iteration statements in the language core but there's a handful of iteration functions that are regular functions and you are free to define your own. Same thing with Scheme (and other Lisps).

Ex McKinsey consultant.

Yes. It's shocking how much of what you see in the papers is driven by consultants and investment banks. There are a few companies who disavow the use of them, but most are unafraid to bring in hired guns.

The not so smart companies hire large teams of consultants who stay there for years. These are expensive employees.

The smart companies use the consultants well to get rapidly informed about certain decisions - such as an acquisition or strategy.

The really smart companies use consultants to help build knowledge or capacity (e.g. how to analyze a potential acquisition) and then kick them out immediately afterwards & keep doing it themselves. VCs were good at this.

The extraordinarily smart compares are spending too much time hanging out with customers and understanding their unmet needs to worry about hiring management consultants. Of course there are consultants that can help with the ability to observe customers as well...
The Phobos standard library is quite unfinished indeed and poorly documented in some areas but the D2 language is rather complete. It has sh*tloads of features but this also makes it a bit harder to master. Go is lighter (very easy to take on) and has an impressive library. Long story short: with D2 I needed ~1 month to get a good grasp of the language and the std library (the library was the hardest part) while with Go I needed around a week.

I'm going to make a superficial comment and say that "cont" and "ret" are annoying and gratuitous differences. C/C++, Java, Python, JavaScript, and I think Perl/Ruby/Go all use "continue" and "break". It's just pointless to be different in this respect.

A different concept should use different syntax -- and it looks like Rust has several new concepts where they can invent whatever syntax they want. But the same concept should use the same syntax.
The SBCL garbage collector doesn't work like described in the grandparent comment. It's precise for the heap, and only conservative for the registers and stacks.

I can't say for sure how the Go GC works, but I would assume it likewise isn't fully conservative. E.g. the "avoid struct types with both integer and pointer fields" advice would be pointless for a fully conservative GC, but does make sense if structs containing no pointers are allocated in a separate memory region that's not scanned for potential pointers.
The "GET STARTED" link on the homepage just seems to be a span wrapped in a button with no link. Not working for me in Chrome 18. Too many of your links seem to be javascript dependent. Whilst it can make nice fancy effects, it can easily go wrong or the user may not have it enabled (>3%).

Neither, there are no lenses, really we should call this a "headset" rather than "glasses". There's a small rectangular glass screen which is projected on to. Seems like there would be no problem wearing contact lenses with them but not glasses.

This is an example for Yahoo quotes from Jan 1 2012 until April 1 2012.
So exchange YHOO for the ticker you want. And then:
a = start month (always dubble digit and 1 less then month number, so april is 03, dec is 11, etc)
b = start day (no 0 in front if < 10)
c = start year
d = end month (always dubble digit and 1 less then month number, so april is 03, dec is 11, etc)
e = end day (no 0 in front if < 10)
f = end year

"The more success device makers have in creating successful products based on the OS, the more its market share will continue to explode. It's just that even the consumer might not realize that the devices they're using are running code that ultimately came from Google.": This is a very disingenuous comment. What makes smartphones really useful is the apps. Is every device maker going to create its own app store, like Amazon did? How much choice are consumers going to have on those stores? If the forks aren't fully compatible with each other, what good is it if the "market share" continue to explode?

As a Mac developer, I have to disagree. I've had great experiences with Apple's customer service, both as a normal customer and as a developer. I always got helpful answers from a human being within a reasonable time. They sometimes make it a bit difficult to contact support (you have to fill out two or three web forms before you can write your message).

With Google, on the other hand, I only once tried contacting customer service because all the email disappeared from my Gmail inbox. I found out that there is no customer service. The only thing I found was a community moderated forum where someone marked my problem as a duplicate and referred me to a thread where dozens of other users were complaining about the same problem with no solution in sight.

I would like to use the article and this statement to beat very hard the nitwits who advocate javascript-only websites.

FWIW I currently have a bot(of sorts) that's been running months constantly crawling, processing(html and images) and logging other sites. It's doing all this in-memory and it peaks at about 34m even with over a hundred active goroutines (70+ are dedicated/never-ending that are usually doing something be it processing or interacting with remote services or external programs)... So I don't see the argument about servers with small amounts of memory. On the issue of improving memory use by going 32bit, I call bullshit on that one.
