I agree to the existence of economies of scale and social preference for standardization but not to your ad hominems.

Questions: Does Facebook constitute a monopoly? Is there a difference between natural monopoly and coercive monopoly? Does Facebook compete in the narrow market of personal webpages, or in one of the broad markets of information, media, or time? If Facebook is bad, is television better? If I choose not to watch the same TV series as someone, and cannot hold a conversation regarding the characters, would I be right in blaming the television manufacturer, the television channel, or the show's screenwriter? Is it possible for me to forcibly obtain social fraternity from others without also denying them their liberty?

1) There is a whole bunch of messages by Stallman in that thread.

2) That discussion triggered me to install the do-not-track-plus extension in Chrome.

Thanks Stallman!
I believe CouchDB is starting to feel a much more mature and polished product nowdays. Kudos to the developers for their hard work.
It's not only sexist but also stating clear that there is a handicap in being a female programmer.
This is such a great comment. Thank you.
For use cases where it's very important that users be able to read (and write) regardless of connection status, it makes a huge difference to have transparent sync.

As far as ease of writing apps (and maintaining them), time will tell, some of our users have been at it for a few years now. The things I've seen people do, show me the synchronizing document model works.

[edit] To be clear - Couchbase Server is mostly used for the explicit network model you advocate. For instance, the OMG POP mobile success story is using Couchbase as regular backend database storage.
Multi Blog Site with Jekyll
The my site is indeed using Rubik as a base theme, Ginkgo (an Open Atrium theme) as a child theme and then a custom theme on top of that.

The www site is a heavily customised theme built on top of Twitter Bootstrap 2.

The ide site is 100% hand made.
This article is calling bullshit on the trend story of interviewers asking for Facebook creds. HN has credulously bandied this story about for the last week; here, it seems only to have retained the last graf of the story.

So: have any of you actually been asked for Facebook creds in an interview?
Good spot, the my site is Rubik > Ginkgo > Custom.
This is bullshit. People adopt languages because interesting things are made in them. The most interest I've found in lisp has been Emacs, because it's an awesome editor. If more Emacs-level projects in lisp were out there I bet lisp would be more popular. Otherwise, this is just political bravado with no concrete aplication.
Ahh yes, just came back here to edit my comment after I found that in the source. I can get used to that.

I'd love to see this become a drop-in replacement for the console. CoffeeScript is so much nicer to deal with in development it's practically the only time I'm still writing plain js.
Ask HN: If Amazon Prime's video service grew large, would AWS kick Netflix off?
A thought experiment: I don't think this would be the mission of Mr. Vogel but if Amazon Prime's video streaming service was seen as a large possible profit, would AWS cease service to Netflix to gain the competitive advantage it would entail?

I'm curious if you found a local pro photographer or diy because the photos look outstanding. They definitely provide a huge level of credibility from my perspective.
Few questions:

1. How did you manage to get all these awesome resume templates?! That's fairly impressive for a one month project.. I could have had only one of them and I would be proud!

2. There's no talk about the 10,000$ in the blog.. where does it come from? Is it 100 sales? Is it less but with more urgent need (For instance, clicking "1 day" or "custom color").

3. About the process of converting the html template to a pdf.. how does it work and how good is it? For instance, is it a simple html->pdf which could give ugly conversion or end-of-page text to be displayed wrongly on the next page?

And as a suggestion, it'd be interesting to give a demo of the cv. For instance, I'd enter my data, it'd show me the resume but with a clear "Demo" written on each page of the pdf.. or something similar.
We used a local photographer. We provided a lot of direction the entire time but he's also really good.
How about testimonials? The designs are fantastic, but I want to hear the story of someone catching a recruiter's eye from one of these.

Figure out away to demonstrate social proof that your resumes are giving job-seekers the edge they desperately need.

We're working on that. We've just been live for a little over a month and are still doing it as a side project. But, that's something we have planned.
I think that line is specific to the basic instructions only (if it weren't, "...and is the lower six bits" would be false).

"For Non-basic opcodes, 'a' is actually the opcode"

Actually it's the single argument -- 'o' is the opcode.
> the inane-stream media whipping up a phony crisis.

But it's our own fault. There was one little AP story, and it got pushed everywhere, and what did we do? We clicked the link, and then we said "OMG LOOK AT THIS I HAVE TO POST THIS TO FACEBOOK" and the people with the websites said "ooh, look at those clicks."

The only reason this was whipped into a crisis is that we allowed it to be.

It's 2012, and we are the media.
WTF?

Freedom of speech is freedom from censorship by the government. Even that has restrictions, though. You can't incite violence against other people or cause other people to come to harm through your speech (yelling "Fire!" in a theatre being the canonical example).

You're agreeing to Facebook's Terms of Service when you use their site. You are agreeing not to upload that kind of content when you sign up.
I have a friend who remarks that in his case career is only ever a verb.

Personally I suspect that his approach to the world of work will result in a hell of a lot more personal fulfillment for him throughout his life than any amount of sucking up to corporate toss will ever do.
You are inherently saying this means something by choosing to pick it out and highlight it. Back to Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality for you ;).
The source size is extremely relevant, in the property that the function is able to work with variable sized input including large input. This definition has obviously embedded its purpose unto itself. The reason we have such cryptographically secure hash functions corresponds to the need to digest large data.
1) The project wasn't 1 month. This is just what we did in the roughly 1 month since we launched.

2) Yes, if you multiply the over 100 sales by our purchase price, we did over $10,000.

3) We don't convert html to PDF. Customers pick a resume design, upload their resume content (in Word or TXT or whatever,) and then we custom typeset it and send them a PDF as a digital file. Our graphic artists are great at making multiple pages look outstanding. There's also a revision process to make sure it pleases the customer.

4) The demos are really the designs you see on the site. Since all of our resumes are custom-typeset in inDesign by a graphic artist, we can't demo a customer's actual resume until we go through the entire process.
As a former hiring manager, I looked at your 100 first templates, and I must say that I don't like them. Yes, they look amazing and I would hire you to design my site's CSS, but for a job seeker, they are distracting. I want to see the job experience. I don't need special effects around "job experience", I don't need fancy backgrounds which make it harder to read the information.

Sorry to be negative. Again, the designs are very cute, but not "professional". My experience is limited to high-tech hiring.

We launched our private beta in February and haven't done any paid marketing since then, all our users have been from word of mouth, media exposure and of course, the great HN. We 'launched' at an early stage and have been iterating since. Currently we have less than 700 free beta users and we are not offering the premium service yet until we have implemented our MVP feature-set and have ironed out any bugs our beta users report.

Do you think it's too similar? I love the dark design of Heroku, and obviously we also have purple branding, but I didn't think beyond that it was too similar.

I'll take it as a compliment, Heroku has a brilliant site and I hope ours can be as good but not appear to be anything close to a copy. It wasn't actually a reference during the design.

Do you have any suggestions on anything to change to make it less similar in your eyes?
I've had varying levels of success using gnome3 with the nvidia drivers. With one install, gnome-shell would crash about every day. On another, I didn't notice any bugs other than sometimes when adding a second monitor (easily fixed with the nvidia config).

Currently I have decided not to use the nvidia drivers and haven't needed them for anything I do.
Nice article. I live right near greenville. Loved the link to coworkgreenville, will check it out. =)

In addition to deserving that huge apology, Dixon deserves monetary compensation from Josh Linkner. Words don't write themselves, and so Linkner had to realize he was using someone else's work without permission -- even if he didn't know who authored the work he was plagiarizing. Linkner only cares because he was caught red-handed. If I was Dixon I would seek statutory damages without question.

It's not everybody's cup of tea. We understand that and that's fair. We've gotten a lot of positive feedback from both hiring managers and job seekers who actually have responded the opposite of what you're feeling. So, I guess it just depends.
It doesn't work too well in Firefox either, since some techniques like image masks aren't well supported yet. Chrome and Safari will display the full effect.

Still, given that this sort of design can work in 2D as well, one could conceivably position the background logos differently for browsers that don't support 3D transforms so that the ad degrades more gracefully.
Agreed. It was a public offense, and the theft of his IP. And really really lazy since a simple Internet search would have returned the article. A public callout is certainly not unwarranted. However I question what would have happened were he not Chris Dixon. He has a solid platform and the community respect to take on a writer for fast company. What about one of the rest of us?
I'm a recording engineer, which increasingly means "data wrangler". A couple years ago I taught myself bash and then python in order to write a script to convert our archives from wav to mp3 (and inject metadata from a crystal reports file). That project has evolved into a web interface for searching and browsing our audio, video and photo archives. I probably spend about 3/4 of my time making recordings and 1/4 writing and maintaining code.

I don't remember what first brought me to HN, but I stay to learn about open-source projects I wouldn't otherwise find out about. The next version of my archives site is built with Flask and Twitter Bootstrap, both of which I learned about here. Also, my transcoding scripts use Kenneth Reitz's Envoy for the system calls.

Also because I realize that as much as I love music, my decision to become a recording engineer was probably ill-advised. There are days I strongly consider giving it up to move to the Bay Area and try developing full-time, hopefully at a startup.
I switched from Ubuntu to Fedora for my dev machines (two thinkpad laptops). I still use Ubuntu 10.04 LTS for my servers and am considering moving to 12.04 LTS once my provider supports it.
This is impossible. I don't like to make absolute statements, but I'll stand by this one.

In order to pull of an attack, you'd need to know what address range the program in question has been allocated, then figure out the smaller range that the runtime is actively using, then give it data with integers in that range. This is impractical.

If you think you can pull it off play.golang.org lets you upload text to a Go program on Appengine, then it compiles that program and runs it. This gives you 2 programs to attack, the playground binary, and the one compiled from your source. If you can do it, you'll have a way to kill machines inside Google.

Good luck.

It's easy to swap a different window manager or desktop out for Unity without ditching Ubuntu entirely. I have my own reasons for switching away from Ubuntu (for Debian), but Unity is not one of them.
Yes, the live version currently only supports EBS and EC2, with RDS following soon (approximately one month) and ELB support to be added shortly after that.

I appreciate that the currently supported services does limit the scope of applications that our features could be useful for, but we felt that there are still a lot of people who can benefit from them right now and we wanted to get something out there early to get feedback. For sharing, for example, companies like http://labslice.com/ only support EC2 on its own.

I'm not so concerned about the privacy issues because I don't put much of my life there. For me FB is just crap UI/UX, everything about it seems non-intuitive and goes against my grain, and I cannot use it as an effective tool for what I want to do with my social network.

Epiphany: maybe these two things are related?
You are correct. We wanted to get something out to get feedback on and wanted to balance disappointing people with showing what we are working towards on the promotional site. The features on the homepage will all be available for use in the next few months, plus some additional ones not mentioned that we are very excited about.

I view Richard Stallman's attitude to this as though he has set himself up as some kind of social/technological guinea-pig for the general public good.

Yes, he is fanatical in several senses, especially nasal and botanical, by all accounts ( read Stallman does Dallas: http://stallman.org/articles/texas.html ).

But the day that Stallman cannot get on the internet, without compromising his own set of restrictions, is the day when it is literally impossible to have dominion over any computational objects that you think you own.

[edit] for clarity, I thought about this, added the qualifier computational, and am not including abacuses ;)

Maybe you were thinking of something like Aho-Corasick or Knuth-Morris-Pratt or Boyer-Moore? We really need better names for these algorithms. For example, by the authority vested in me by my own hubris, I hereby rename Rabin-Karp to "rolling hash search". Aho-Corasick is now "substring-trie search". Much easier to remember!
If you're reading hacker news it probably means you don't share the same rigid commitment to free software as rms and thus his recommendations are virtually useless. I wonder where rms stands on airtravel or using a crosswalk given the non-free software that operates these devices.
This extension made me realize that Chrome doesn't do syntax highlighting in the console. What a convenient feature!
It is fair to point this out, it is an understandable concern to people where a company is located, especially when dealing with sensitive data.

We don't try to hide the fact that we are based in Beijing (it is our location on our Twitter profile and there are several mentions of China in our blog) but we don't want to overly promote the fact either, for exactly this reason.

How does the knowledge that we are a Chinese company effect your decisions regarding our product? After finding this out did you go on to register and link with your AWS credentials?

Obviously, we can't help where we are located at this stage of the company, but I'd love to hear how you would recommend handling this from a business point of view.
Those are for matching a single pattern against a text. The intended usage of Rabin-Karp is to match a set of patterns against a text, in a more efficient manner than running Boyer-Moore or KMP on each individual pattern. An algorithm with a similar use-case to Rabin-Karp is the Aho-Corasick algorithm, which is very simple to learn if you know KMP already - the preprocess of the set of patterns is just a generalization of the preprocess of the pattern in KMP.

Boy, do we disagree. Never before has political correctness and "fitting in" been so exalted. In fact Facebook is a direct consequence of this behavior.

Consider that many people don't see Facebook as a privacy issue once they've weighed everything carefully and not because they're idiots.

Not idiots, but completely ignorant as to what they are agreeing with and giving up on.
