I can see that as I comprehend English more, tend to start being more offencive in it. 8 years ago I started Italian and now I know a deal of swear words, but not sure if I can produce them when, say, an Italian drops a thing on my foot. By the moment I can say something offencive, the peron will have 1-2 seconds to apologise.

I'd say new languages really disarm you. I can barely argue in Spanish, least to say an offencive word (although I've seen the famous Tano Pasman, el hincha del River), and not at all in Portugese.

Also, isn't it curious: we all know a bunch of swear words in our languages. We get to know them at early age, probably as soon as we have a need for them. But it takes years to get exposed to obscenities in a foreign language: books don't print them. Dictionaries often omit them. Radio and podcats also deliver correct content.

IPad 2 or new iPad2?
I use them a fair bit. Enough that I released a set of them on my site ( http://www.addedbytes.com/cheat-sheets/ ) and then made a site for other people to build them ( http://www.cheatography.com/ ). :)

Certainly not a sign of ineptitude. For me, they just save me the time it takes to go to a manual to look something up. I've got a couple on my desk at the moment, for SVN (weening myself off GUI tools) and one for VI.

Like recent very high definition, very high quality models and organic animation, that all lacks some quality that you'd have with lower older games.

I'd be happy to be proven wrong and enjoy a >24fps movie, but everytime I see one it breaks the magic badly.
JavaScript programming style
Tmux and screen have modes that allow you to 'watch' a window for activity, and alert you to this. They can even watch for inactivity, and warn you when something finishes. You can also use "echo ^v^g" (where ^ is ctrl) to summon a bell, tmux and screen can be configured to alert you to such a bell.
I didn't see your original comment but if it was just "good to see django on github", you were downvoted for not adding anything to the conversation. Your edit is better.
I have tried to do that, but I have ended up with just connecting to server and running vim (with some hacks like nerdtree that make life easier)

I can imagine having that as primary device, but only with some other computer to connect to via SSH (and constant internet connection).

oh, connectbot probably had some problem with Transformer's keyboard AND it doesn't have "esc" button (which is kind of useful in vim), so I used some custom-build version that maps the search key to "esc" (since you don't need the search key anyway). But they maybe fixed it since then and I am still using some ancient version.
Not really.

For example, the way Objective-C uses #import, is a bit like poor man's solution, but it already makes a difference in compile times.

There is no reason why a module system won't be possible to add in C++. That is why they are finally doing it.

Even C could benefit from one. The thing is, that most likely no one would use it, as many C developers are not used to module systems.

> Plus... well... THIS particular simple throwaway Easter egg is what bothers you? You know there are several multi-billion-dollar industries that employ smart people in creating "fun" ways for people to unproductively spend their time, right?

Yes, and they are called games companies, and I love their products and they really are fun. Is Google a games/entertainment company, or a company that sells advertising?

And no, it is not this particular Google Easter egg that bothers me, all of them do. I made that clear in my last comment. The fact that almost every one of them ends up on a thread on HN like this one is distracting (for the record this is the first one I have commented negatively on, but they're all as bad).
I'm actually a former coder, albeit not very good.
Actually, it's very different because one can passively acquire contact info this way, as opposed to actively contacting each one. Not only is it faster than social-engineering each contact, it's more palatable to those who don't want to attempt such.

They'll have to invent something really new or have an uphill battle, because GitHub now relies a lot on network externality. In simple words, it is the effect that you chose a popular network for the number of projects on it. I do submit bug reports to projects on BitBucket and GitHub, and not to private bugzillas/tracs (I'm tired of registering and confirming every time.)

No, you're wrong. It has nothing to do with artifacts. Higher frame rates just do not have that "otherworldly" look that everyone associates with high quality cinema. It's a completely psychological effect, but it's nonetheless entirely real and it absolute cheapens the look and is very distracting.

Moreover, anyone who knows anything about film would have seen these problems a mile away upon hearing that The Hobbit is shooting at 48fps. I honestly can't believe these directors were (initially) behind this, but then again they were apparently backers of 3D as well which also has a reputation for cheapening the look, although that is more debatable. I think moviegoers will outright hate 48fps though, rather than just gradually shy away from it as in the case of 3D tech.
I think they really got something right. I tried so many genres but always use their collection when I really need to focus. I especially like the 01(datassette) and 02 (sunjammer) compilations.

Some perennial favorite "interview questions" of mine:

1. Tell me the difference between final, finally and finalize in Java. (Of course it was completely irrelevant to the discussion that my resume at that time never claimed that I knew Java; The only mention of Java was a library that I had used as a black box)

2. This is a fairly new one but most software engineers must have seen equivalents over the years :).

Rate yourself on a scale of 1-10 on the following:

-- Machine Learning

-- Convex Optimization

-- Linear Algebra

You know what was really disappointing? The second question was asked to me first by the recruiter (whom I don't blame for asking me the question) and then again by an engineer (after we had just concluded a long discussion on my projects touching upon those topics).
iSSH + a bluetooth keyboard + your linux server of choice (I use EC2) makes backend coding on the iPad feasible, and quite comfortably so.

It has nothing to do with not being used to it. TV dramas could easily have shot at 60fps starting a decade ago (or more) but none do (aside from some daytime soaps). Even most comedies are 24-30fps these days. The reason is that higher framerates cheapen the look in exactly the way the author of this article describes.
Dear Molly Wood: Failed Prototypes Don't Equal Invention or Innovation
I think if a new 'leader' in version control systems starts to make ground, github could easily adapt and support it. The github magic isn't just git, it's the network and collaboration tooling around your code.
You've done very well to find a four-letter domain name for a 'weekend project', let alone a relevant one. My circle uses a self-hosted homegrown wiki for this sort of thing, so we don't have searching or sorting, but content is malleable, organisable and totally free-form.

A point to make about our system, is that everyone is trusted enough for us to not employ any sort of account system. We do however publically log IPs with a hash of the user-agent, so people can at least see if the same person was responsible for multiple edits. Since this sort of information can be gathered by any website, i like to think making it public gives our non-technical users a more solid understanding of how their actions online can be traced.
If for some weird reason all else failed, they could just write their name in hiragana.

How Swiss Does a Swiss Watch Have to Be?
Dear Thunderbird: I know you can’t save my draft; please stop complaining
I don't know of any tv ever produced that is less than 50-60fps. Do you mean that it interpolates lower fps content to bring it up to 60? If so all I can say is, I am surprised you like that effect. I can't stand it and always disable it.
Being Swiss myself, I can for the life of me not figure out why you should be troubled by this fact. Do you feel threatened by us? I understand you're worried about the state of science and education in the U.S., but on the other hand you cannot honestly assume that 100% of scientific and technologic breakthroughs are performed on 6.1%[1] of the world's land mass?

I've been living in the U.S. for 3 months now, and the "American exceptionalism" assumption sometimes gets on my nerves..

Statistics with Julia: Least Squares Regression with Direct Methods
I know I gonna be downvoted for this, maybe I am wrong but I dare to say:

The success of this kickstarter project shows that there's no real use case for tablets except surfing/reading/consuming/procrastinating on the sofa and thus, people want their keyboard back—anything else can be done more effectively with a computer/notebook and/or a smartphone—there's just no room for a third device between notebooks and smartphones. Don't get me wrong I appreciate all the innovations in application and OS design (iOS and the lean ARM architecture could replace x86 designs) which came with tablets but I doubt that tablets with their clumsy form factor will take over the world.

I still don't get the success of these devices. It's so much more convient to type, to keep the finger movements small (with a mouse or trackpad or a small touch screen in devices like smartphones), to have the right viewing angle without holding anything warm or using ugly extra stands. Only when surfing around and reading sites I see a real benefit but then again: moving fingers to 'click' links or to go back is so much more work compared to a small notebook like the MBA and I spend the entire day with the Internet anyway, I have to force myself to do something else in the evening—I don't want to meet again the Internet, Facebook and Google when I should go out, meet friends and family. Or I just want to watch a movie and even this is totally cumbersome with a tablet (compare this use case again to a notebook like the MBA, I just put it on my lap lying in my bed and that's it: no stand, not getting warm, always the right viewing angle, I don't have to hold something).

Again: if you disagree reply instead of voting this post down—this isn't gonna be a flamewar—I just want to question, is there really a post pc era coming where tablets replace computers (I would rather guess that smartphones and not tablets will fill the gap and could get the main distribution channel for software).
A common thread of these high-grossing kickstarter threads is the production value of the demo vids.

My sense is that Kickstarter is less of a paradigm shift than it is another venue for great marketers
How right you are! Another reason to love HN: you even get constructive feedback on a comment written in haste :)
I agree ... as long as you don't use said esoterica as an immediate qualifier/disqualifier, it can give you an interesting insight the depth of knowledge a candidate has about a particular language. That being said, there are people who know crazy minutae but get into a team and simply can't turn out code at the rate you need them too, for whatever reason. Definitely have to watch for that and pay more attention to how they actually construct and write code.

"otherworldly" is just a nice word for "1920s technology".

Getting closer to reality is a common thread in the arts. As soon as man had a way to move from one-color cave paintings to using colors, he started to use them.

This is the artistic expression that Peter Jackson is going for.

In one of the video blogs he said: "The result looks like where the screen was, there is now a hole in the wall, and beyond that is reality".

Imagine, instead of looking a film of Bilbo, you're transported right there into Middle-earth and it looks absolutely real. Wouldn't that be great? I'm very much looking forward to that experience.
FOCACCINE INTEGRALI CON YOGURT BIANCO MAGRO
I've watched their commercial about 20 times now - They hit 100% of the notes, symbolism, sex-appeal, simplicity, emotional appeal. Even the shot of them taking it out of the manilla folder on the white background is appealing to a particular audience that remembers when the Macbook air was introduced.

Forget about making keyboards; these guys have a future in advertising.

Your conjecture that GitHub was initially avoided by people who don't use Ruby because it's written in Ruby is pointlessly divisive and quite silly.
Actually I think it is useful to compare. Based on what I've seen, the interpolation tech is actually pretty good as long as there isn't too much movement on screen. And yet, in dramas especially, it still severely cheapens the look and makes everything look "unnatural". (Even when there is only smooth movement which is well interpolated by whatever algorithm it is using.)

So what I am saying is, I actually think it is simply the higher fps that accounts for the distracting nature of these tvs (when interpolation is on). Not so much the actual interpolation itself, as I can only rarely detect artifacts.

A lot of companies won't use any code in GPLv3.

"Legally capable" is one thing, "completely out of any possible problems in the future" is another.
Very informative, thank you.

In short, to me, all this effort is being driven by studio's trying to justify cinema ticket prices by offering big films shot for 3D. Even though the most profitable and successful films have always been 2D and in general movie watchers avoid 3D!

In addition, perhaps Jackson would rather be known for pioneering work than making yet another good film.

Given the choice in aesthetic for film has been driven by culture rather than technology for much of its 103 years, the parties concerned are all taking a big risk...
Well it's lo-tech, and no visualization, but, I use a wiki. It allows you to markup, pull out concepts and facts and easily linkify everything. Better than plain text at least.
I agree with you and I just wanted to add something.

I'm purely speculating, but I think they are appealing to the wider audience because of the 'cool' factor. They've been successful because of the way Apple positions the device. It's just a cool toy made by a company with a cult following. You use it to impress your friends, your coworkers, and probably because you want everyone else to think you're a geek that's into the latest tech. In short, it's a status symbol.

It doesn't offer anything new in terms of functionality. Everything you want to do in an iPad, you can also do with a modern laptop. Ok, laptops can't do touch screens, but I'll argue that it's not really novel functionality. In fact, as Brydge's Kickstarter campaign has shown, it comes with reduced functionality.

Let me stress that I'm not belittling the device. I'm sure it also has a lot of great technological feats packed into it. Only that it's secondary to the social/marketing factor.

Exactly. That's why I'm saying just be yourself. It's the candidate asking the question who starts the mindgame. So long external validation matters more than inner confidence, I'll always look like a mindgame you can't win.

Hair loss in women
There can be several reasons for hair thinning like hair’s life span and hormone imbalance. Menstrual irregularities, naturally higher testosterone levels, pre and post menopause, birth control pills, pregnancy, stress, illness, fever etc can trigger one or other kind of hair loss in women.
I down voted you because an article on interesting new kickstarter project that pairs up a keyboard with an iPad probably isn't the place to rant against an iPad.

Personally, I like my iPad just fine 90% - 95% of the time without a keyboard. It's light, very unobtrusive in public, and easy to handle on a bus/train/plane. There are a few times, when I'm on a long trip, or going out for an afternoon and need to write up some material - where the ability to have a keyboard that could also be a case would be awesome; but it's not for the 95% case with me, it's for the 5%. Right now - I usually end up bringing my MacBook Air and my iPad when I'm in that situation that I'm going to be doing casual browsing (and enjoying the 10 hour battery, awesome resolution) and heavy keyboard input.

Give me a half-decent keyboard case and my next social trip will mean I leave my MacBook air at home.

And there are many, many, many people who are passive consumers of the internet - and really don't need a keyboard. And _Lord_ is it wonderful not to have to provide them with any IT support.
Is Web Dev in the right path?
As someone on the lookout to buy an ARM based netbook or web tablet for a while before the iPad existed, I'd say the chip lock-in was another monopoly that the iPad escaped but gets less attention than it should.

Every time I read a headline about how much money Apple are making, I reflect on how much pent up demand there was for years, held back by the Wintel (and IE) monopolies.
What's the advantage of using something like LaTeX for a CV? The point of a a resumé is purely to make you look good, and as such you'd be much better off making a PDF using a real layout tool (like InDesign). You want your resumé to be friendly and attractive, you want to stand out from the pack, and to use typographical design principles to make any viewer like your CV more without even realizing why.

Btw, here's my resumé, for reference: http://kenneth.ballenegger.com/dl/resume2012.pdf
Yes you are right in a way that it looks more "real". But real in the sense that you are acutely aware that it is a staged production when viewing it. The author of this article directly addresses this when he says just that, and also notes that it looks like a behind the scenes featurette.

I have not seen footage from The Hobbit but I have worked with other dramatic content at high frame rates and I know exactly what the author is describing. It's really gonna bug people if they really do release at 48fps.

WTF is a "CV"?
I'm not sure whether one should draw that conclusion just because 1000 people out of more than 30 mio iPad owners backed a project where the iPad gains a keyboard. That's like saying nobody wants to buy black Chevrolets because some people paint them yellow.
I use my iPad for all kinds of stuff, be it reading books, reading websites, listening to music, playing games, collecting notes, drawing stuff, or writing down notes. Some of that is downright impossible with a standard MBA (Like reading a book. It's possible but cumbersome).

Of course there're people that want the iPad more to be like a real laptop. What's not to like about a laptop that even under high load (i.e. watching a movie) holds for almost 10 hours.

Nevertheless, I think the gross of people doesn't need that. Most non-geek people I know hardly use their keyboard on their Mac/PC. Some of them can't even type with more than 2 fingers. For them, typing on the iPad touchscreen doesn't even affect their typing speed much.
