Yea, I use google code and sourceforge. Guess that means I'm unqualified. Not that I'd want the internship. I have been a programmer for 10 years and love my current job.

Aside from being "provincial," is he wrong? Diversity creates communications latency. For example, on HN I can refer to "latency" in this context--it would take way more syllables to express the same thought to lots of the people I interact with every day.

Part of the problem is that "Diversity" is being misused. It's not "diversity" if a company of 100 people has exactly the same demographics as the city it's in. That's homogeneity: diversity would mean that each company's demographics are wildly skewed in unpredictable directions.

Thomas Sowell has written about how intra-company diversity has harmful economic implications. For example, factories in New York used to segregate on religious lines--because if your Catholics are all off on Sunday, and your Jewish employees are all off on Saturday, then you can only work five days per week; all-Catholic or all-Jewish factories could do six days.
So the site is http://designthencode.com/, I collected email addresses before the site launched and now have about 6k on the list of people I'll email when a new tutorial is live. I cross-promote it on my blog http://flyosity.com/ and on the Twitters but other than that I don't do any marketing for it. Sales are slower recently since I haven't put out a new tutorial in awhile but I have a few in the hopper coming out over the summer, it'll probably boost sales back up again. For payments I use Quixly which has a PayPal backend, but the new version is supposedly going to support Stripe so I'm looking forward to that.
I just seemed off to me considering how he (probably rightly so) preempts most critique throughout in a somewhat hyperbolic yet lacks the the same tone in his closing statements.

When I had just turned 20, I was in charge of business on four continents. What managment class would have given me that opportunity?

This is one of those things that still blows my mind -- how people operating in supposedly "non-capitalist" enterprises still end up learning all the things that are needed to run a successful business. (And perhaps they learn it even better.)

Well I should qualify that by saying that I mean the Apple of today vs. the Google of today. Apple's design has slipped considerably – just look at Lion, iTunes, more recent versions of Safari, or the latest UI for the Apple TV. But if we were talking about Apple ca. 2009, Apple would easily win in any contest of UI design.
Agreed. I greatly admire Apple in many ways, but I prefer to be part of a more open community - even if that means some rough edges.

If you just think in terms of updates and hardware, WP7 has the worst of both worlds. But think of it in terms of software. But iOS and Android share a very similar UI, while WP7 is very different.

I've never owned a Windows Phone, but from what I've heard from people who have owned them (these are people who have owned iPhones, Android phones, Windows phones, and sometimes Blackberries - they've run the gambit) it is the most intuitive, easy, and fun interface on the market right now.

it's no worse than go to our website at justin dot pepsi dot com, but most people will still have a problem with it

if there's one thing i took away from my time doing front line support, it's that users don't enter URLs. if you tell them to find the address bar, they're lost. if you give them a URL to enter, they have no idea what to do regardless of whether the TLD is .com or .pepsi. people get to where they want to go by searching, whether they're searching google for a website or searching facebook for a page. the domain name system may have technical meaning, but for most users pepsi.com is just as obscure a code as 199.187.226.158
Have you looked into http://datomic.com yet? It seems to address a lot of the concerns you have (triple-store-like, high performance, Prolog-like queries).
The question I have, is how good a standard is it? Sometimes language standards are put together in a political way, so all the vendors can say they comply, and the standard has no teeth and no effect on portability.

Since there aren't many players in the Ruby language space, this is probably not an issue, and it's all down to how good a job the standard writers do. (Basically, I understand it's basically only matz who determines what is and isn't Ruby.)

What this should buy the community: protection from future vendor/implementation fragmentation. (But only if it's a strong standard with "teeth.")
So be it.

Or ask (pay ?) your hosting company to give you analytical tools (like a simple log !). It used to be the norm.
It's another one of those hidden gems from Sweden that is now growing in popularity in the States. The project has been around and in production for about 10 years, and is experiencing humbling growth these past few years with customers like Cisco, Deutsche Telekom, and Adobe. The commercial sponsor of the project, Neo Technology, just became a US-based corporation as part of a first-round of funding last fall. ACID transactions, HA-scaling, huge id space for data -- check out neo4j.org for the details.

Well good sir, I just do not accept that.
The Stripe gallery posted here the other day[1] used src-less img tags for lazy loading. It looks like they handle the script issue by having the normal img tag (with src attribute) nearby in a noscript block.

Doesn't really do much to help with the overhead of modifying existing markup. Perhaps if you're already using something like image_tag in Rails, a retina_image_tag helper might not be too much of a stretch.

It's a big grey area of what's hate and what's not but let me tell you there are certain videos (content) on YouTube which is by any stretch of imagination : hate or racist. This content should definitely be taken down. How to detect such content is matter of active research in the US and at India.
Using logic on anything related to religion is ... silly.
There is also a measure of deegre of accuracy: if we have a sequence that is repeat(1..100), a predictor that always says 100 will be 1% accurate, while a prediction of repeat(2..101) will never be accurate but alway off just by one.
Ask HN: What are the features users want in a location based app?
I'm not following - how is the iPad, in itself, skeuomorphic?

It's "invisible" and therefore well designed - it puts the Apps in front. It removes the "abstraction layer" of pointing devices, and if you watch a kid or grandparent interact, you'll notice how the non-mouse-indoctrinated respond far more intuitively.

I fail to see your point. All companies give trademarked names to their products, and to specific features of their products (especially the features that are used heavily in marketing).

That's funny. At my last job I too had to manage about 40 Drupal sites. Administrative problems are there (though as you say Drush solves some of that), but our big problem was content sharing. I wrote a terrible, terrible hack that mucked around in Drupal core to enable cross-site queries.

When I left we were making some very good progress using Apache Solr as a backend for cross-site Views and queries. We were already using it for search, so it added minimal overhead. I believe they've since rolled it out. I should bug them to open source the code. It was looking pretty slick.

Aren't there anomalously MANY players in the Ruby language space?

* The super-important MRI/YARV team

* The mruby team

* The super-important MacRuby team

* The IronRuby team, to the extent it still exists

* The super-important JRuby team

* The super-important Rubinius team

Other languages also have multiple implementations, but they aren't really in viable competition with each other like they are in Ruby (a good thing for Ruby).
I don't think it's fair to call richer services lockin. GAE has lockin, in my opinion, because basic services use GAE-specific APIs and common needs (like scheduled jobs) are accomplished in uncommon ways.

If you're using auto-scaling or beanstalk or whatever, that's an example of AWS offering something where there isn't a norm, isn't a "normal way" to do it, and if you need that thing, your other alternative is to build it yourself - which is still an option should you decide to move away from AWS.

Lockin is avoidable switching cost which benefit the party imposing the switching cost. Are there examples of AWS doing that?
Slightly off topic, but does it annoy anybody else that when TVs "upgraded" to 1920x1080 as de facto standard, computer screens were downgraded from 1920x1200 as a consequence? Why do computers need to be 16:9 all of a sudden??
With due respect to the OP, I don't think I'd ever have shipped anything if I had to be proud of all of it. And the more experienced I get (beyond 9 years or so of development and IT), the less proud I am. In fact, these days I'm not even proud of the entire community. There is so much we could be doing to solve world problems that we don't, because we'd rather write some innane social media app.
Ask HN: What does this "bubble" mean for me?
I was only 12 years old when the dot-com bubble of 1995-2000 finally burst. Now that I'm a developer at a venture-backed startup, I can't help hearing rumors that we're in yet another bubble (the latest being Dave Winer's "It's definitely a bubble" [1]). Since I haven't lived through one before (career-wise), I don't know what to expect if this so-called bubble happens to burst.

So what does it mean for me as a developer?

Although interestingly it works best if the other side believes you are an insane fundamentalist psychopath.

So the US assumed that Russians, being Godless commie atheists were itching to nuke the good old USA if they could. Rather than their generals being a generation that had fought in the ruins of Stalingrad and didn't want to see that happen again.

Fortunately the Russians assumed that US were a bunch of bible-thumping God bothering spoiled children who would nuke them rather than have to face the horrors of fighting a Stalingrad type battle.

So everything worked out ok!

There is still a debate in the global-thermonuclear-war business about whether Curtis LeMay actually was the insane trigger-happy character from Dr Strangelove he appeared - or if that was a deliberate image projected to convince the Russians that the USA was crazy enough to use the bomb.
Vice President Joe Biden on Why You Need to Get Involved
I usually agree with TimBL on everything, but not this time.

New or newly popularized TLDs represent new business and cultural territory. Without this new territory, the consumer "domain name memoryscape" inhibits the adoption of new business and artistic ideas.

It might even be a good idea to make it as arbitrary as possible: every year, choose one random two letter and several three-letter domains. Then let creativity decide how to make use of .kfi and .iz.

"What if that information details acts of war by nation 2 against nation 1, however those acts have been, up until the publication of the documents, untracebale or unatributable to nation 2."

Nation one should not have been meddling in nation two's business in the first place. I think this comment summarizes the overall problem with our governments. They should be completely transparent and open. The reason that we go to war is over secrets. Remember growing up:

When/why did this stop applying to governments or "adults". Secrets are used to push agenda's. If there are no secrets, then no one can hold anything against anyone else. There wouldn't be conflict. I do not want to go to war or get drafter to fight for something, unless I know all the information. I don't want to die so someone else can grow their bank account. Governments work for the people and paid for by the people, not the other way around. Therefore, all information they possess belongs to us, the people.

Israel should not be meddling in Iran's business, and vice versa. I have friends of all denominations, nationalities, and colors. We all get along just fine and generally complain about the same things. Its our governments that cause problems for the worlds populations. If our governments really represented the people and not the politician's own agenda's there would not be any need for secrecy.

This solution could be a huge step for us to start changing things for the better.

</rant>

TL;DR
"Secrets, secrets, are no fun. Secrets, secrets hurt someone." Secrets are used to control people/agenda's.

Following on what Rdio VP of Engineering, Todd Berman recognized recently about streaming music: The streaming music space is too divided. http://goo.gl/MZJth

For listeners, that means it's hard to keep track all the music you enjoy on different apps. Sway.fm aims to fix that by automatically collecting the songs you Thumbs Up, Favorite and Like in your universal library (including syncing with Spotify and Rdio playlists). http://goo.gl/tvl7m

You can get our Chrome extension which lets you play/pause/control the music streamed from all the sites we support using your hardware media keys: http://goo.gl/5V7Zd

We're also looking for a couple key API partners to hook partner with, so we can stop hacking on top of your stuff. :) Let your listeners keep the music they find, and show up in your app with all their favorite tracks!

Well, maybe quantum indeterminacy.
This is cool, but my big problem with games using techniques like this is that they tend to end up feeling soulless. I guess it would be fine for a game where the players create the soul of the game during the course of play (something like a Civilization game, or maybe an economic-focused RTS or MMORTS). But for games where timescales are short and you're not going to build anything yourself, map designers are better off, you know, designing.

Are you running an app that's configured to perform a particularly data-intensive activity only on wifi? That's the only way I can reconcile your experience with ryandvm's comment (sibling to yours).
"Navizon's system can determine where you are, but not necessarily who you are, since all it sees is a Wi-Fi radio."

Maybe they can't find out WHO you are, but they can certainly find out where you live: wigle.net

Apple and Google may also have their own reverse SSID geolocation service, so there's really nothing stopping Navizon from finding out where you live.

Furthermore, they can use Kismet (or any other such tool) to find the SSIDs that your phone is searching for -- and if you, for example, enable WiFi at work AND at home -- they can also deduce where you work.

I find the service to be pretty creepy, personally.
Ok, that's a fair counterpoint. I didn't mean to pick on Ashton specifically, but rather, to point out that others are following in his footsteps.

Also, on a side note: even though he'll never read this, I feel like I owe him a sincere apology for making a quick and general assumption about him. Seriously. More than happy to stand corrected about him personally.
I just transferred all my domains from GoDaddy a few weeks ago and Hover made it simple, got it all done within a few hours. Had some trouble with a subdomain and a custom landing page and Hover's support was very helpful in helping me rectify the issue.

True. But, I have other statistics to shed light on this:

Plenty of people get domain ideas from my site, but then don't click on my BUY link. I can determine this because I see multiple domains get registered on the same day as I list them by the same person -- highly unlikely otherwise.

So based on approx 20,000 listings that have been registered, around 40% of those registrations go to Goddady. But for the vast majority of those registration, I didn't get a referral. Or even a click.

So, people use Godaddy a lot more than any other registrar. And I put it on the left. Based on usage pattern mentioned above, I don't think it's because it's on the left.

Trust me, the site is truly just a hobby. :) Except that every once in a while, I make a bunch of money when I buy a domain myself that the site finds, and resell it.

I get to see the daily listings before anyone else, so ... I do feel a little bit bad about that, though.

Wasn't necessarily my intention to imply that 1999 was only problematic at that point, and not prior to it. But nevertheless, it's an interesting observation. And duly noted. Thank you.
He'd lose that bet about the supermarket. Produce is in the far back corner, the bakery is in the front corner near the entrance, and the dairy is on the other side of the store in the back. 1 out of 3. I win.

But I doubt that it's laid out that way to make people walk all the way across the store. It's that way because there's only so many walls, and those departments need space that the customers can't enter. Meat and seafood are along the rest of the wall at the back for the same reason.
Some things get only so good - after that you're just engineering better cup holders.

It's a stress test. When it goes on sale, millions will be able to buy it and sign up and create accounts, etc. This allows them to get statistics which will help them plan for a smooth launch.
But if you have enough of each group to fill one "shift" - then you can work seven days a week instead of six.
HN Podcast #1: Kickstarter, Raspberry Pi, And Instagram
I truthfully think that the fault for this lies entirely with the consumer. People got used to/ were told that widescreen 16:9 setups were like being in the movie theater, and therefore better. I don't much like this, however I don't speak for the largest demographic of people that actually buy monitors.

I do know that I much prefer gaming and coding on a square display.
I agree about being potentially "soulless" but a counter-argument is if you generate the landscape and then let a designer come in and make logical choices of where to place designed elements and the flow of the map I think it would be awesome. Like real life! :) I sometimes feel like designers just design one path or design a stronger single path but this approach lets it be more natural.
As great as Raspberry Pi is, this is much more likely to get my kids and their friends programming.
Good luck with "diplomacy" when you have secret communications discussing a secret alternative agenda.
That cuts at the root of the disagreement. Categorically stating that diversity is "completely wrong" for a startup ignores plenty of counterexamples, so, yes, he's wrong. Diversity creates communications latency. It creates other things like tolerance and broader understanding. It also (ahem) widens your hiring pool.

And no, I wouldn't want a company that reflects the demographics of my city. That would mean no black people and mexicans do all the cooking. :)

Levchin is free to run his companies any way he wants, inside the law, and he's done amazingly well. But rejecting people who simply use an odd phrase once is, to me, not a example to celebrate, especially in a course for students.

"I did this and succeeded" is not equal to "everyone else is wrong". Creating a mirrortocracy is equal to claiming "I am right, all the time, and I do not require outside opinions. All I require are clones." That's a pretty heavy bet to make, and its arrogance is not excused by success.
