Those are pretty cool, but they really aren't as useful as understanding how a sort works.

What is buggy in it? can you show me a vid?
I'm not sure 'contacts' are a good match with 'soldier'.

Gear for soldiers needs to be rugged, idiot proof, and easy to work with. Inserting contacts to gear-up for a patrol would seem to be none of those.

I'm not adverse to the idea .. I would have liked to use this myself, back in the day .. but we need to keep in mind that information overload is a very real problem for these guys.

" A screaming red display flashes up on the goggles informing him that the millimeter-wave radar has noticed a stream of bullets headed in his direction and would you like to know where they came from, sir?

He turns off all of the techno-sh in his goggles. All it does is confuse him; he stands there reading statistics about his own death even as it's happening to him. Very post-modern. Time to get immersed in Reality, like all the people around him."

Ask HN: I developed and launched a website, now who wants to be my co-founder?
Hi, my name is Jerry Ji, sole founder of Bizspeaking.com. Bizspeaking is a social network connecting shoppers. In other words, it's like a Twitter for shoppers. I developed the website http://bizspeaking.com/ mostly in my spare time. It's a Python (Pyramid), PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Solr stack.

I'm looking for full-time co-founder, preferably someone who complements me with deep US connections. About myself: I've made a self assessment pie at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6612298/jerryji_self_assessment.png (following Steve Blank's "Hiring – Easy as Pie" http://steveblank.com/2011/08/22/hiring-easy-as-pie/).

Feel free to shoot me an email (address in my profile) on anything, and please excuse me if I don't reply immediately because we are in different time zones.
Lovely demo, well explained. I'm using the same principles for my visual design web application, and I see the same simplicity and elegance here as well. Can't wait to try it out.
Shouldn't be any surprise there really. Facebook is now a major corporation and is listed alongside Microsoft, IBM, Symantec, Intel, EMC, and Oracle as supporting the bill.

You've done a good job with the design component of the site. It's simple and uncluttered and your choice of using just a couple of colors leads the eye quickly to the important bits of information and the action buttons. As the features grow, keep to that standard as much as possible. It'd be a shame to see that spartan effectiveness replaced by lots of filter fields and buttons and options that just become confusing overkill.
As someone who has worked extensively with JavaScript web apps specifically geared towards accessibility, I can say that without a doubt the two major screen readers work with JavaScript. There are some quarks that you have to deal with but they do work, the issue is that not many developers take the time to test with them and make the necessary tweaks to get them working correctly. The biggest one being ensuring that the tab orders on elements match the flow of the application dynamics.

Probably not. The information that somebody is able to break "classic" crypto is probably worth much more than all the bitcoins they could steal with it.
Indeed, and let's not forget the other half of her point, which was to have introductory level courses focus on solving examples from across science, rather than CS esoterics. From personal experience I agree that if you are trying to get someone interested in a tool, show them what the tool can do before showing them how the tool is made (or how to make their own).
I'm glad someone else thinks this too. I feel that the Turing test has largely been a diversion and I don't think Turing intended such a literal interpretation. The point I think Turing was making was that we must look beyond our human experience when we look for intelligence in other forms.

Looks gorgeous!

Interestingly, the whole idea of "the environment (and the IDE) is dynamic" is present in almost any Smalltalk dialect.

The file is just a convenient way to serialize the code but is not necessary for the act of programming.

Thanks for the feedback!

Simplicity & quality was always top priority for us.

One of my biggest bugbears with job boards is the sheer amount of pointless clutter, share buttons, ads, external links, promo fields, etc.

We want to avoid that slippery slope like the plague!
Yep. There are some examples in a previous comment I wrote (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3688820), though I overstated the case about generic he there. Wikipedia has pre-18th century examples of that too, so it seems that both forms coexisted (in what proportion, I don't know). In any case, it's a mistake to imagine that singular they is an archaic form being revived now for political correctness. It has been in widespread use all along.
This looks amazing, it would be a perfect tool for learning programming in the first place, but can easily work great for experts as well. Incredible. When can we get a download link to try this out?
Agreed. I think it's important for geeks not to be too influenced by certain preferences held by a fraction of their peers at the expense of more work that could have been spent making your product better for 99.5% Reminds me of people griping about lack of ogg vorbis support.
Draw Your Breast App - How's your Boobs looked like?
I supplied electricity, a computer, internet connection, and a virtual machine to run code in (that's a business model by itself).

I may have profited from the content, but I surely have generated revenue for the site operator. And I want a part of it, isn't that reasonable for my time and cost? I'm just as much a capitalist as the site owner. I know my visit to their site has value to them, regardless of the content.

We could argue whether they paid me enough in content. But the automatic assumption that this is true isn't acceptable. In fact, the worst and most successful offenders in this business model usually provide the lowest value and often no value at all. See link farms and other blog spam/scams.

If it isn't obvious: this is a thought experiment. I'm not actually demanding my 0.0037 cents/view.
All of the major screen readers support content added to the DOM dynamically. They just watch particular events to know when and where to look, you have to ensure you are updating the DOM in a manner that they understand.
That's actually my live game editor - not the same thing, but also fun!

I haven't decided what to do about my prototype quite yet, got too excited about sharing the idea :)
If they did have them, they'd most likely have to hide their existence for quite some time.

During WWII, after the Allies had broken the Enigma cipher and were reading all the German communication, they still had to allow enemy actions that would result in loss of human life, just so they wouldn't tip their hand and reveal that they had broken the code.

I'd assume it would be the same today - a plausible non-crypto way of getting data came out ("We beat him with a pipe until he told us the password", ala http://xkcd.com/538/ ) would be a better explanation than if they broke a code with some quantum ubercomputer.
This really looks great. The doc and play views alone would be fabulous as I'm trying to learn clojure. Seems like an incredible sandbox environment for learning the language and exploring open source to understand how things are working. What are your plans for releasing/availability?
Great to see another clojure tool heading away from the old traditional and largely text based environments to something new and better. Anyhow, looks a lot like Code-Bubbles to me (http://www.andrewbragdon.com/codebubbles_site.asp).
As he was talking about how other engineers work, on big tables where they place and organize all their current notes, items, documents - in the future, I'd like to have a large epaper covered, touch and object sensitive desk and couple of light epaper devices to take down and organize notes and code. Software will become more complicated in the future, so I think at some day we will need to adapt and use more powerful tools than the ones we currently have.

Who Writes Linux in 2012?
The Turing test should introduce a completely unexpected set of questions. (double quotes for human, single for AI) "Hi" 'hi, how are you?' "Good. Do you know what we are doing today?" 'Yes, we are attempting to prove that I posses sentient intelligence' "Right. Would you like to prove that you are sentient?" 'Yes' "Excellent. I would like you to design a new five wheeled vehicle for me, can you do that?" 'Yes. Is autocad acceptable?' "Sure. Start with basics though, don't dive in, I'd like to see successful iterations and reasoning about design choices"

Something like that. Otherwise it's all just BS breadth first search through other people's past conversations.
Awesome stuff. I think ClojureScript and Bret's visionary talk are brewing a perfect storm: the era of projectional, structural, domain specific editing in the browser is finally coming. This looks awesome and as the author mentions it is just the beginning.
But note the warning from Sun: "So when should you use static import? Very sparingly!"

I'm so glad there is an authoritative answer on this subject. IMHO, I hate the use of static imports because it becomes difficult to know where a particular method comes from... where it's an instance method from the class itself or one that is brought in through a static import.

And then there's the possibility of clobbering the namespace by including a local variable name and a statically imported variable.
And he completely misses the point of the argument.

"There isn’t anything in the system that isn’t in him."
This small sentence just completely shows his ignorance of virtual machines. Yes my tinyxp system is running within Ubuntu, that doesn't mean my Ubuntu system is a tinyxp system.
“[it’s just ridiculous to say] that while [the] person doesn’t understand Chinese, somehow the conjunction of that person and bits of paper might”
He is, yet again, falling back and just disregarding the argument. As I said before, he is arguing that because my processor cannot do maths would the aid of the rest of my computer it is ridiculous to assume that when combined properties might emerge. Sort of similar to how Sapience is an emergent property of our bodies really...

Apple's action, if true, are a huge step backward, imho. Pissing in the village pond and all that.

The article says Comcast will be first ISP to provide IPv6 to residential customers.

But my AT&T DSL modem gets an IPv6 address from AT&T, and it assigns IPv6 to client computers via DHCP, and my client computers (Mac, Linux, Windows) all accept the IPv6 addresses. And I'm able to ping to IPv6 addresses.

All out of the box.

I actually faced an interesting problem because this OOB IPv6 support was being used by a few programs, unbeknownst to me. Some website (IIRC, related to python's pip) was sending both IPv6 and IPv4 addresses via DNS.

And curl was following spec and trying to download from the IPv6 address first. This had apparently been going on without my noticing for a long time without problems.

Until I attached a half-assed wifi-to-ethernet bridge (Asus WL 330GE), which didn't support IPv6. My client machine still got the IPv6 addresses via DHCP, so curl tried to download via IPv6, but alas, the packets never made it to my router.

That's awesome - I usually have a few different windows, either in emacs or just other terminals open to look at different functions at once.

At the end of the day, you should be having fun. I lost sight of that for a long time and wrote a lot of software that I thought would make money (it didn't), but I hated working on. This led to me falling out of love with software for a long while.

It's only in the past few months that I've really come to love it again. Between my day job at Mozilla, working on ridiculously fun optimizations, and a startup that went from no code to a damn near fully functional product in a week and a half (including the time it took to build the framework that the product itself is built on!), I've been having a blast. I forgot how fun it can be to just dive in and make shit work, and do it in the way I think will work best. I spent years over-thinking my development, with nothing to show for it; a couple months of coding with reckless abandon and I'm happier and more productive than I've been in damn near a decade.

Stop hating life, go have fun.
My fear with doing that is that if the functions file is separated from the tests file, then it becomes difficult to see at a glance what the function needs to do in order to make the test pass. That said, I agree that what you're supposed to do could be more clear -- would you care to open an issue so we can discuss it on the repo?
That is perfect timing, considering that this document[1] by the IETF (RFC6540) basically defines IPv6 as a requirement in hardware and software alike and that is classified as "Best Current Practice" while also being published this month.

"Life is too short to work at a boring company".

Quite a reassuring reminder.
Im sitting my in my cubical hating my job right this moment. I applied to ycombinator and I will escape cubical hell. If you've never held a corporate job, you are lucky. It sucks your soul and crushes your dream. The anti-ambition of people around me is discouraging and depressing. I work on software that is meaningless, and that just kills you inside. Its the feeling that you are spending days/months/years of your life not adding value to society but simply writing software that doesn't matter because odds are it will be shelved for another project when an upper manager decides that it was the improper path for the business to go down. I wake up every morning excited for my lunch break because I will get to escape into a book on some assorted topic in order to gain the knowledge to escape this hell hole. Yet, the fire inside me won't be quashed and I will escape it. I refuse to feel like this my entire life. I will get out and I will change the world with my talents. That feeling, that fire, keeps it bearable.
Its funny, I remember starting out on the internet, I would never put an ounce of "real" information on there and that was how people lived... now we have facebook/myspace/twitter/"blogging" and people are happy to disclose all types of personal information. Let alone geodata on photos.

As far as I can tell CISPA will only give out the information you provide to them. As bad as it is, you can mitigate it by not giving people your information on the webz?
The basic idea of this article is awesome - right now is certainly the right time to get a non-shitty job.

However, I disagree strongly with the idea that startups are some sort of panacea for bad jobs. There are plenty of bad startup jobs, and they're generally easier to get than a corporate job. It's easy to talk yourself out of the bad corporate job somewhere in the 5 levels of HR review and background check. It's harder to argue with "free beer, flexible hours, $90k, and you start Monday" - even if none of the above end up being true.
Apple pumps out yet another Java update
It's under the GPL, not the AGPL. Provided that you're using it as a web platform, why would this end up being a big deal? The client has your source anyways, right, in the form of client-side JS?

Also, have you talked to them? Like, actually written an email? Maybe it's not so bad.

If you haven't even figured out your revenue stream you probably are prematurely optimizing choice of license. Besides, you could still make use of it for prototyping and figuring out better your product requirements.
I was thinking the same thing. Many of those ideas would be great emacs modes. In fact during the first minute of the video I was going to ask how he skinned emacs to be so pretty :)
This is about copyright not patent. A small but extremely important distinction. Your comment mentions both somewhat interchangeably which is not only wrong but counterproductive to the discussion at hand.
Just for fun. Not offensive to anyone. Don't be serious ya ^^
Too object oriented. I would hate to have to explain what a class is before I explained what a loop or a conditional is. We have to assume people are starting from nothing.

This is awesome. I love the idea and the implementation looks great. ibdknox claims that it would work with any dynamic language. I'm not sure there is anything capable of finding dependent functions in Python without actually executing the code.

- Smallest unit of code is the function.
- Able to get instant feedback on code changes.
- Multiple editors with just one function in it. Show code
in an "area of concern" not just in a file.
- The coding environment can show also results, app
windows, graphics, other tools.
- Can save the configuration of the above.

Smalltalkers have been doing this in commercial projects since the 80's. If only we could have communicated about this as well as Mr. Granger.

EDIT - Also:

- You should never have to look for documentation
- Files are not the best representation of code,
just a convenient serialization.
- Editors can be anywhere and show you anything - not just text.
- Trying is encouraged - changes produce instaneous results
- We can shine some light on related bits of code

Things like this were happening in Smalltalk environments since the 80's. The first and the last points above were satisfied by lightning fast "senders" and "implementers" searches.
