C++ is not quite a superset of C, though most reasonable C code is valid C++. However, C++ includes a lot of facilities that make programming easier. They're easy to abuse, sure, but in most cases they help make things clearer and simpler.

Boost is almost a second standard library (it is one reference source used in the standards process), and it demonstrates a lot of what's cool and awful about C++. Boost invented a lot of the smart pointer classes that are now standard and save a lot of boilerplate that makes memory management in C annoying. Boost has things like Asio, which lets you write portable synchronous/asynchronous network code. On the other hand, it has Spirit, which is a massive abuse of operator overloading which is at once both impossibly complex and nifty/convenient.

Linus's opinion is worth noting, but he's hardly the best source.

It does suck though, quite a few friends of mine were burned on new year's eve and are still a bit reluctant to do it again after that one expensive experience. One friend got hit with $200 for going half a mile... he cancelled the trip midway through when someone called him to cancel the cab, and got Uber to refund another $100 or so a few days later.
I noticed this tonight as well. I never thought Bing would be the "clean, simple" result page, while Google was overcome with cruft. Absolutely amazing.

What's the website? I'm a Kiwi and always interested to know what other people are doing here. :)

In terms of improving meeting with "photographers, models and the general hipster crowd", does it help any if you think of them as "people"..?

What do you define as "utterly painful" and "social ineptitude" in your case?

What do you say to yourself as you enter these sorts of situations? Is it "Wow, I suck" or "Wow, I'm awesome and have something that's really of value to these people, I should find out what they're looking for and demonstrate how I can help them"?

I know the whole self-talk thing seems bogus but I think it does have an impact.
The problem is Dropbox isn't exclusively an iOS app. So you can sign up for Dropbox directly and they get 100% of the fee or you can sign up through Apple and they get 70%. That might be more than their entire profit. They can't even make iOS purchases more expensive even if perhaps someone like you might pay 30% more for the privilege of a single payment provider.

The fact is that Apple is the one that requires apps to open the browser in the first place. It's rule upon rules upon rules. I'm an iOS user and I'm not happy with this aspect of platform, if that means anything.

There are useful statements that should be avoided.

Some statements are true but not useful. Like telling your grandmother that she looks like an old hag. Some statements are useful but not true. Like pretending to be sick to avoid school. The damage from the latter can be more subtle but runs deeper.

Things that are both useful -and- true, those are worth saying.

It isn't always easy to tell what is useful, so it's best to rely on your intention. It's good enough to mean the best. When uncertain about usefulness, err on the side of being truthful.

Ask HN: Twitter marketers, how do you get followers?
I would like to start using Twitter to share jokes and recommend novelty items, but how would I start getting followers?
I know the most obvious method is to follow others for reciprocal follows, but there are some accounts that somehow manage to get thousands of followers without following anyone!

Can anyone please tell me how to get twitter followers?
> "You're going to suck for a while, embrace it."

Yeah, that's a good thing to remember.

> I think that's a difficulty for smart people, we're used to being good at things easily and when we aren't we avoid them.

I think "smart people" want to avoid the "I feel dumb" stage of learning. Actually, I suspect most people do. :) When it's something that's familiar (like learning a new API or language) we can get through it with familiar tools (e.g. our brain) so it's not quite as bad.

When it's something unfamiliar (like improving conversation with people) it's a longer & more obvious stage and our usual tools don't help. (Particularly when we have our critical brain along for the ride.)

> It's OK to not be good at something if you're just starting out.

I definitely had to remind myself of that when I enrolled in an Improv Theatre course recently. :D

Good advice.
isn't the point that Dalvik's very existence has
fragmented the Java ecosystem

Yes and no.

Dalvik is not Java, being a totally different VM, just as .NET's CLR is. And just as .NET's CLR, you can transform Java's bytecode to Dalvik bytecode by means of a compiler. The equivalent project in the .NET world would be IKVM, which allows you to transform Jars into .NET dlls.

It is true that Google relies on the Java ecosystem for fueling Android ... they rely on Eclipse for IDE support, they rely on Harmony for the base classes and so on. But everybody working with Android knows that Dalvik is not Java and that Java libraries that are doing bytecode manipulations do not work on Dalvik out of the box, because Dalvik is not a JVM.

So really, Dalvik is fragmenting Java in the same way .NET did.

Thats a great point, and I don't think that the solution is lowering the student to faculty ratio. The solution is to completely revolt the way we see education.

No. They don't. It is impossible to have a monopoly in a market segment and under the law, it is perfectly acceptable for a business to control a small portion of the marketplace.
If you're implying it was a race and class issue, well, let's just say that hasn't kept anyone away from Twitter. I think it had more to do with the fact that MySpace pages all looked like crap and played shitty music at you automatically when you opened them. MySpace to Facebook was more about user experience, and Facebook's ascendancy was a fait accompli by the time they launched their API.
I think it takes a little while for that to get started on a new issue, also... doesn't it?

“The Worst Web Experience I’ve Ever Had” - Another Samwers clone in the US
In an earlier submission[1] we saw the one-off, incredibly time-consuming sweater showing the prime factorizations[2]. In that discussion someone said:

That's an excellent idea for a T-shirt.[3]

The replies did point out the difference between a geeky sweater that takes time to design and make, versus a T-shirt that's simply printed, but even so, now you can get your own T-shirt with the design.

The original designer/maker has given their blessing[4][5]

In the interests of full disclosure, I submitted this link yesterday[6] and rapidly got 10 upvotes. It then dived into the 800's so it clearly got some flags. To sink that far requires several flags, so it obviously wasn't the work of a single maverick. If you feel this is inappropriate and should be flagged, I'd appreciate hearing your reasons.

Thanks.

Well, the real problem is that "right" is a very broadly-defined term that sometimes refers to is and sometimes refers to ought. I was operating on the definition (which I think is more useful) that a "right" is something a person (or corporation) deserves regardless of whether they're actually given it, so it's appropriate for me to answer with ought.

As justified as it may be to rant about these guys (I don't like them that much neither), I don't think they deserve a rant everytime they copy something. I completely agree that they are now almost death to innovation,but honestly, isn't the next photosharing app doing something similar?

What I really miss is a critical analysis of their late performance. We got one, kind of, during the coverage of their Groupon involvement. But overall over all their companies? I one this will be hard, but that what at least intereses me.

The one thing I read between the lines is that they slowly declined in execution. Maybe they hired to much ex-McKinseys, I don't know. But for me, that's the core of the issue.

That said, yes, they are exagerating lately! And advertising partnerships you actaully don't have? How pathatic is this?

You forgot "easy to use", "fun" and "attractive". Normal people don't care about those things you said.
Surprised most are concerned on privacy grounds. My first thought was, wow this could chew up many users monthly bandwidth quotas.
The fact that some of these internet companies, such as Google, haven't taken a formal position is perplexing...or maybe not considering this may benefit their shareholders at the expense of society's privacy. Well, at least the non-profit is speaking out. I wonder if me posting something like this constitutes as a "national security" threat?
I think the problem is that if you have a very fast connection ("10+ mbps lines") then Skype upgrades you to a super-peer and sacrifices your experience in order to route the calls of other Skype users.

No. I used Flow on a daily basis for the better part of two months, to coordinate a team of six on a major product feature we were developing. The things I mention above are chronic issues I ran into every day, not superficial things I saw once before dismissing the thing.

They're also 100% fixable.

If you're going to do this sort of "empty container" app, it's worth modifying your approach a tiny bit and instead going with "filled container". That is, sending the actual page content over the wire, then doing all your smartness and auto-updating behind the scenes where the user can't see it. You get all the benefits that the browser gives you for free such as cache management and back-button support, and you can also build in all your rich UX just like before.

And of course, if you're going to rip out a 20-year-tested native control like the scrollbar, it's up to you to make absolutely certain that the thing you replace it with is better. Theirs is demonstrably worse in pretty much every way a scrollbar can be worse, and actually fails the simple case of "scroll the document", as it tends to lose its position. The fix for this is as obvious as it is easy to implement: use the native scrollbar to scroll your list.

If they do those things, they may win me and my team back.
If you're good at something never do it for free.

Nice redesign but the results just aren't good enough. For some searches they match Google but for just as many they fail.

e.g. I searched for a GitHub repo I created. On Bing I got one results. A blog post I wrote about it. On Google I got 77 results including the GitHub project, GitHub Wiki, blog post, and tweets about it. I've also noticed in using Bing that when I type in programming questions I get blog posts. On Google I get StackOverflow which is what I'm usually looking for. I think I'm going to give Bing a try for a few days though exclusively and see how it really compares.

Competing on design is great especially as Google's search has got so cluttered but the results are still the most important thing.

The point is not whether Apple makes money on its "apple tax", but how that affects us developers. In fact it is a pure transaction fee, and if you compare that to paypal or credit card, or even affiliate commission payments, it's way too high.

In the long run where does the App developer get to make any money? On app sales alone? You cannot survive by making a one off sale to your customers, and apps that seek to generate more income through in-app purchases need to pay fees that are equivalent to what they would do through credit cards or whatever.
Totally! If Google would actually dump Java in favor of C#, there would be the huge problem of all the apps that need to be ported. With a tool that has already proven to be capable of doing that, the required efforts are already massively reduced.
