Name is important to some extent. Ease of remembering, easy to spell and its association to your service/product/app are all some factors.

Here is how i go about finding names:

* Start with a list of nouns/names that you think your product should be called. Put it in a spreadsheet.

* Use a service like http://impossibility.org/ to find domain names that are available and related to your list.

* Keep iterating it over a week/10 day period. I am sure you will stumble upon good names.

Don't over try. Use a codeword till you find a good name. Also, ask for opinions from a couple of people.
Musicians?? How?
You can encode "end of list" with another value like -1 which is usually safe since you can assume that addresses are at word aligned (so odd numbers cannot be addresses)
Most modern architectures like AMD64 use 40 bit memory references in the CPU, but write them as 64 bit to memory. That is why they have much lower addressable memory than the logical limit.
Apple is doing a lot of undiscoverable things like that :

- focus to remove an app (people learn that from others )

- splitted keyboard left & right has invisible virtual keys

- double tab the button for process

- kill process by focusing on a process ( very useful when an app has crased, yet undiscoverable )

- double tab then slide left for volume

- screenshot with power + button

- take a photo with the volume button

Hidden features are very Apple-esque
How is it a pitch to buy? If anything, it's a pitch NOT to buy. $1 billion/quarter revenue (and $210M profits) doesn't justify the $100 billion valuation. Not even close.

Consider Google, valued at $200B has a revenue of $10.6 billion/quarter, and $2890M in profits.

Also, GOOG has been consistently growing:

http://www.google.com/finance?q=NASDAQ:GOOG&fstype=ii

While Facebook is failing to.

So what is the realistic value of FB? Based on these numbers, $15 billion at best.
That's a fair point which I don't know how to counter well, mostly because I know virtually nothing about the Smalltalks of this world.

That said, how can you refactor your code while it's running? Also, is dynamic typing a requirement to get tools like Squeak to work? Or could it work equally well in statically typed languages?
This was brilliantly produced, but... the only thing interesting was: ads in the timeline. I used to care about FB hitting their $5B target this year, but that will be easy if they launch ads in the timeline. I am concerned whether Facebook is relevant 10 years from now.

I take positions and put my money where my mouth is. In this case, I'll sit on the side lines, though I am tempted to be short.

Indeed, and most of the time, it prefills the correct word for me so I just have to press space instead of five more characters.

People seem to hold a grudge for autocorrect from the times of T9 prediction, because they keep typing in shortened text language and because they feel they lack control. This feeling is reinforced when you first use iOS as the autocorrect system comes with a generic pre-trained prediction database that might feel jarring at first, yet the system will learn progressively from you as you type, including virtual key sizes.
More like postmaturely... it was released on April 1st, and the roadmap has last been changed nine days ago.
Example:

I was hired at the end of the dot-com bubble into a technology mega-corporation at the age I should have just finished college. I dropped out of state after studying German and whatever to make money in the technology boom, and I did. Lots. For many years my career grew and I was at zero disadvantage to someone entering with a degree. In the bust, I was even at an advantage for awhile as I had key experience over anyone competing with me.

Over time however it became evident the long term growth curve of my career had a lower slope than my college educated colleges. Soon enough I couldn't move up any more. In a deep, sit-down conversation with a respected manager I was told I would never make senior grade engineer without the degree.

Now in a start-up or small shop maybe this wouldn't matter. In a Fortune 500 corp. it simply did.

Now I'm in my 30's and back in school. At least I'm enjoying it this time :)
Sure, the article in itself may speak to not buy looking at the figures, I was meaning the specific sentence.
I mean that while facebook prompts you for a password in a single field, if you enter "passWORD" the true value of your password is both "passWORD" and "PASSword", but there's no way to express that idea in the english language. If someone asked you what your password was, what would you say if you wanted to be completely accurate?

It's just a dumb philosophical thought I had.

Hey.. Commander Keen was awesome. Don't knock early iD. :)
git-subtree is not the same as a subtree merge. The author himself likes to point that out. A subtree merge is a one-time operation. git-subtree, on the other hand, enables you to continue to merge in upstream changes. You can also split the subtree (including it's history) from your repo and make it a standalone repository again.

Facebook, show me your code
Well, it takes 2 users to make 1 friendship, so it would be half of that. Plus that's the number of daily users, the total number of users is like double. So the average friends per user must be around 65.
"If you want a solid company, the people matter more than the idea, because the idea will change over time anyway."

So how exactly does that idea change? In itself? Like magically? Or is it perhaps so that somebody needs to come up with that idea? So if there's nobody in your company who can come up with an idea then what? Because in the beginning Uncle Paul gave to you an idea. Because you where so dumb brick that you couldn't come up with anything while applying to the YC. So now you are implementing it at it does not work out, ideas change, you know. So you pick up the phone and call Uncle Paul in need of a new idea? To pivot in the billion dollar business. Really? But hey, first, to come up with and idea to call Uncle Paul for a new bllion dollar idea you need an idea that the current idea does not work and you need an idea to call Uncle Paul. Now what?
Ask HN: How would you teach Java to at risk youth?
I recently had the privilege of being picked to teach Java to at risk youth, but I feel like I am in need of some advice as per where to start.

I'm not having an issue with dealing with the kids, it's just what angle should I start with? Should I start with the basics of what happens when you type "System.out.println()"? the JVM? OOP? Should I just go into how to do variables, loops, and if statements and let them build a slow understanding through use of the language?

thanks so much!
I am also curious and would love some more info.

Proxmox 2 With Software Raid
Theres a great app just like this on android already called Overskreen should check it out.
I find this was a very interesting announcement. Almost the whole presentation was about software, services and addons.
Samsung did not talk much about the hardware, and not once use the term "Android" during the whole presentation.

This is how I want smartphone providers to make their android-based devices: Either use just AOSP and focus on supporting that well (updates), or make a very unique and improved experience for your customers.

Adding differences "just to be somehow different" will only make your phone worse.

I don't care much about the gesture stuff, but what they do with the face detection API that came with Android 4 is very interesting.

The idea that the screen will not go black as long as I look at it solves one of the most annoying problems I have when using computers. E.g. you think for a few seconds about what you just read on your smartphone, and when you're back you have to turn on the screen again. So annoying.

There are also a lot of little nice touches to the ui, like this one:

"Pick up the phone when you've got a missed call or text and it will vibrate gently in your hand in combination with the notification light to let you know you're a popular bunny."

or that you can hold the phone to your ear while you're texting someone and it will call the person you're texting.

Or that you can select a person in the camera and the focus will stay on that person.

Or that you can burst 10 photos with one shot and then have the phone automatically recommend the best picture to you.

The wireless charger and the HDMI dongle are also very nice.
While I could agree with you, the fact is that all other compiler vendors, that are also os vendors, are able to support both languages.

So why not Microsoft?

Their only excuse is that Windows developers don't care about C99, according to their surveys.

Yet, this is one of the most requested features in Microsoft Connect.

Any refs, docs about this behavior? First time hearing it. How does it work with MMU, protected memory, or external memory mapped as normal one?

I know a bit about prefetch, and it's variants, but haven't directly used in 10 years (I was on a software project that had one of the first Katmai's, back in 1999 to do some bilinear/bicubic texture filtering for a media/drawing application, and had to code extensively in mmx assembly back then).
Thank you for the clarification. Quoting the author:

“[Subtrees] are also not to be confused with using the subtree merge strategy. The main difference is that, besides merging the other project as a subdirectory, you can also extract the entire history of a subdirectory from your project and make it into a standalone project. Unlike the subtree merge strategy you can alternate back and forth between these two operations. If the standalone library gets updated, you can automatically merge the changes into your project; if you update the library inside your project, you can ‘split’ the changes back out again and merge them back into the library project.”

I guess I will have to get used to the idea that linking external repositories is harder than Subversion externals :) Which have serious limitations, I know, but at least they are so simple.
Absolutely not. Lighttpd and Nginx both use it, and have recently picked up a lot of popularity because of it.

It maybe an old mechanism, but it is fast, which is worth something these days :)
China does resolve to counterfeit and steal any idea or technology we have... Even Facebook.
This IPO is based as much as the 'dream' of what FB can be than what it is.

Here's something to think about: FB investments pre-IPO: $2.4 Billion, Google investments pre-IPO: $25MM. Google's IPO was much smaller ($25B market cap if I recall) but Google was financially a stronger company when it went public.

Therefore cue music and grandiose mission statements. Wait, Facebook will get to that 18 P/E ratio when?

edit: try to look for performance tuning guides for your CPU architecture, there might be some details about systems like this.

Nope. Some might exist but this stuff is generally considered trade secrets. A patent search might yield something. You can find some material about speculative execution, branch prediction, prefetching, etc but the real beef is hidden somewhere in Intel's (and their competitors') vaults.

It's all supposed to be transparent to the programmer so there's no need to write and release detailed public documentation about it.

As I said earlier, I have no idea how they work (or do they even exist), but I'll give a handwaving example of how they _could_ work.
I still want to know why he isn't intending to fully open source it. The funding goal should be payment for the product - just make the whole thing open. That is the only reason I haven't donated, I feel like the Kickstarter model should only produce open source software, and not doing so sets a horrible example that you can get upfront donations to make something and then still charge for it after being funded. There is so much interest in it, it might get done even faster with community hackers.

In case anyone wonders, he says he wants to open source the "core" of Light Table. I don't consider that enough, the whole thing should be beer free and speech free after it gets funded.

I should mention I am not hypocritical here - I think any game funded by Kickstarter should be open source too, so I have only donated to open source game initiatives. I just feel the model should produce content as unencumbered as possible because it is being paid for in advance.
Facebook started as hot or not for college students

Google started as a search company (now an advertising company, which offers search, phones etc)

Apple started as a computer company (now a consumer electronics company)

Airnb started as air beds on occupied flat floors, not renting empty flats

Of course some companies have a great idea, execute, and stay true to it (perhaps like some of the others on your list like dropbox for example), and for those above you can trace their origins in the preoccupations of many of these companies today (Apple still tries to bring computing to the masses, Google still has search as its focus, and arguably makes advertising money because of good search), but often they have moved quite far from their original inspiration, and they have often made their money in unrelated areas (e.g. Apple is now making far far more from iPhones than it ever did from computers).

I do think ideas and plans matter less than execution, because ideas tend to change so much when they come into contact with the real world and real users, and you can come across plenty of great ideas (or even get them for free from your users) as you create solutions and learn about a particular area.

Good move. I still think it would be better to get as many people into beta access as possible (at the lowest price - or even no price), to maximize feedback and contributions.

But he's still going to make it to $200,000, and it's still going to be great - thank goodness not everything needs to be perfect to be great.
Not to mention a long touch to start a zoom cursor. I think its pretty arguable that thats more intuitive.
创业办厂
I was never asked for a degree or any kind of paper on interviews, all that mattered was my portfolio and my tech blog, experience is more valuable.

Also the time gained helped me learn way faster what I was really interested in, web development.

Most of my colleagues with degrees are now taxi drivers or have a regular job because even if they had a degree they lacked experience that was far more important for the employers than any kind of paper.

I had very high paid jobs and now I'm working on my own startup, in the IT world where information is very accessible and is very easy to learn without needing a middle man, you can have a very big advantage by using the time lost in college in a more productive way.

Learn on your own or by internship, experience matters the most and every year of experience matters, don't lose any.
In the current climate, the risk of that is incredibly low. For one thing, if you're risk averse and amenable to trading risk for equity, you can keep a sizable war-chest at home and simply run off VC money. That way even if you crash and burn you have a safety net to fall into.

The current state of the software industry is funny that way. The worst case outcome of being a failed startup founder is a six figure job ;)

In my business I need to work with SAS. So let me offer some personal opinions what it really is. It's one of those things where I fail to understand why corporates still choose to spend money on.

As a "programing language" it's ridiculously easy to recreate with simple (though occasionally inconsistent) C like syntax. It is sold as a statistical analysis framework. While it can do regression fine, you have to pay additional money to get features like support for decision trees, and still it does not support the proven machine learning techniques (Random Forest, SVMs).

I think SAS is a dinosaur existing because of its legacy hold, trying to desperately grab the last straws - like these lawsuits, and writing disparaging papers comparing SAS with free alternatives like MapReduce & R.

I've said this before here but I think the ability of Go to create a server as a single statically linked binary is a HUGE deployment advantage. It's so much easier to just compile exactly what you want and push out a single file.

I've been trying out git subtree and I understand it's advantages. But I've wondered if there's a way to use it without adding the merge commits to the timeline when I update the subtree repository. Something similar to what git rebase does. (Maybe this is a dumb question and I'm not using git subtree right) :)
Cheddar is the name of his app: https://cheddarapp.com/
Of course, it has always been possible to have multiple versions installed with native packages. Gentoo supports that since day 1. What I was talking about though (and I didn't make it clear), is having the same version installed multiple times in different locations (i.e. separate virtualenv).
Does it also help with deployment of non-code related files (eg. static files in web apps)?

Accessibility isn't just about screen readers.

Example user flow illustrating brokenness:

1. Open Firefox.

2. Disable JS.

3. Go to:

http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2012/05/twitter-brings-you-closer.html

4. Follow the "View the entire comment thread." link:

http://avc.disqus.com/?url=http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2012/05/twitter-brings-you-closer.html

5. The "Please login to view this page" dialog is missing any visible keyboard focus for hyperlink controls.

http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG/#visible-focus

6. The dialog includes a "Use OpenID?" link that doesn't lead anywhere. Not supporting some functionality without JS is regrettable and sometimes unavoidable; leaving broken controls in the DOM is just that: _broken_. Feature detect and add controls to the DOM when the necessary functionality is available.

7. Follow the "Go home" link:

http://disqus.com/

8. No visible keyboard focus on the Disqus homepage either.

9. Click "Sign Up".

10. Click "Create commenter account".

11. There are big buttons in the page ("Facebook", "Twitter", "Google") that do nothing.

As a web developer who cares about frontend code and UI quality, this sort of thing is enough to put me off integrating with Disqus. Which is a shame, as I think commenting-as-a-service is a great idea.
I think you missed one point here: The package _contains_ the virtualenv, so you even _must_ have multiple copies of the same package for every app that needs it.

That’s the whole point of it: have a consistent and reliable way to deploy whole applications including all dependencies.

That's really commendable.

It'll be easy to bore the kids with tons of details about variables, loops, and structures. At-risk kids are usually less curious and more interested in usefulness (I think).

First, get their attention by giving them the fastest route to a simple working program. Basically just show them that they can make programs that can be useful, then help them build by being a local expert.

You can teach variables, loops, structures as your students need them to make their programs work correctly - that way they'll have a good reason to want to learn.
