With all due respect, this is anything but sensationalism. It might help to understand that the number of FFT coefficients computed is not necessarily the number of data points processed. Theoretically, if we have a perfect cosine, for example, we'd get TWO non-zero coefficients (k=2) even if n was a huge number. Compare O(k logn log(n/k)) to O(nlogn) in those cases!

Granted, this doesn't apply to every single situation. However, citing the article in the case of video signals, you have on average 7 "non-negligible" coefficients (k~7). So there are certainly applications that will benefit dramatically from this.
You may have mis-interpreted the fact that because 1.6% of your users have IE, that means that you're in a space where those customers won't use IE.

What it may mean is that you don't have very many customers. If you were mainstream, you'd have more IE users... just like the rest of the Internet.

It's okay not to be mainstream... but, if time tracking is a competitive and profitable space, your competitors may be happy to share this blog post with their prospective users.
"At least the packages that end up on the doorstep still require human delivery."

Imagine that you ordered something from Amazon. You could choose from a bunch of different times, perhaps a dozen in a day, when the automated delivery truck would swing by your house. Your phone would make a noise, and you would go outside to grab your packages off the truck. It would be like an Automat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automat) on wheels. You would somehow authenticate yourself and then grab your boxes from your assigned slots.

My 13" Macbook Air serves me well as my primary development and design workstation. For purely development, I would love to use an 11" Air, but Photoshop is a bit too cramped on it.

My 27" display gets used for watching movies mostly these days. I do go through phases though, and will probably try using the large screen for work again eventually. For now, I find the smaller screen less distracting.
You should add some tagging, to identify an entry as a swearing (nsfw), slang, proverb. Most expressions currently on the website are swearings.

The benefit is only lost if you want to store the sorted mylist.

However, sorted() is useful if you want to create a list, sort it, use it, and throw it away... all in a single line.

The blog gives an example where a file is read, sorted and transformed. If he loaded the file to a list and sorted that list before transforming it, there would be an unnecessary copy of the list sitting around consuming memory.

Also, it's not "just Ruby people" who need to be reminded to act properly - that's just a group random cynics on Hacker News like to take pot shots on for some reason.

First one here 
Hey, am starting of here with a simple introduction and hopefully many more questions and observations to come in the next few weeks.
To tell you my story- completed my computer engineering and started of working with TCS (one of the largest IT companies in India - $ 7bn annual revenue) Left TCS to do something on my own and landed up with empowerbpo.com A start-up for helping hospitals and small practices with compliance training…Although we did a decent job, it was going nowhere. WE could definitely not make it a multi-million dollar business (at least we thought so) and hence started working on other things.
One thing that stood out for me was thinking of helping student aged 4-14 in Math and English as some of them get lost in the plethora of tools out there ready to teach them. Khan Academy was one of them and I think Sal has done a fantastic job, to create so many videos constantly for 5 years is no mean achievement. But khan has done a great job. His name helped a lot as Salman Khan (he is one the most sought after actor in bollywood). But there is a short coming in Khan which I believe being an Non-profit organization can never be fulfilled. They can never have real people deal with the students, intervene when necessary and guide them in an appropriate way. We are getting on the journey to do so. Help students work on a guided path in Math and English and intervene when we feel he needs help and provide that.
Let me know your thoughts on this. Will give more details in the next post.
Thanks

Delivery men could be automated too. A robot with package safe and some kind of pre-determined passcode could be sufficient. Insurance or onboard sensing to surveil would-be thieves would cover some of the safety issues.

And to avoid even more problems the delivery network could work with post offices to put these safes in place of P/O boxes. Australia Post already does this - you receive a package and they send you an SMS with the code to unlock the safe they've left it in. The delivery truck would just put the packages in the safe totally autonomously.

I don't know about other language conferences, but certainly in the past it's been needed at other developer conferences.

(It's one of the reasons projects like the Ada Initiative have been set up - http://www.techworld.com.au/article/412523/breaking_down_gen... )
These are the exact reasons to refute your comments.

1) You're english - i.e. NOT culturally related to the issue.

2) You're 22 - You have NO idea of the history of the people of which I speak. as a personal IT trainer to one of them who visited their house often, do you think I know, or you know, more? Please advise.

3) Yes, my friend, I do know more than you. When you were 11 I was building some of the largest enterprise datacenters in silicon valley. I have designed and implemented large corporate campuses for companies you well know. I am jealous that at 22 you have it figured out, as it appears you eschew any opportunity to learn that may present itself.

I am sure you will be very technically correct in many of your endeavors, I doubt you will have depth of character and knowledge though.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could see something you don't agree with and seek more info rather than trying to prove your insightful disposition so early?

In martial arts, we find this behavior often attributed to green belts (yes, in my decades of experience, I have more insight into another arena other than tech (20+ years in both))

Have you ever thought that someone you started off not agreeing with may be actually correct?
A physical address and contact info on your site shows that you are a real company and above-board (i.e. not a scam operation).
But it might be useful to other people currently contemplating a move. People tend, when selecting a place to live, to underestimate how much a long daily drive will damage their quality of life.

True in some contexts, false in others.

When raising money, or selling a product, there's a difference between "transparent" and "honest". You don't lead with the weakest part -- you don't price a product based on how much it costs to make -- you communicate value to the buyer and then figure out a fair price.

$500k from someone like hn user pmarca is worth a different amount than $500k from joe smith.
I get that same feeling.

It does look like they are taking a particularly strong stance. Kudos, especially for this:

"In particular, exhibitors should not use sexualized images, activities, or other material. Booth staff (including volunteers) should not use sexualized clothing/uniforms/costumes, or otherwise create a sexualized environment."
To be precise: two options doesn't imply a 50/50 chance, necessarily.

For example, if everyone thought that Google would win on 1A, and someone predicted Oracle would, and then Oracle did, then that's doing better than 50/50. (I'm not sure if that's the case.)

Just curious: have you actually talked to many teachers? Shown them the site and asked for feedback?

I feel like your landing page is way off from what a teacher would be expecting. Don't get me wrong, _I_ like it, but that doesn't mean it converts well with your target market.
I want to know a solution to this problem myself. I'm definitely the most skilled developer in my team right now. This sounds like arrogance, but it's the simple truth. I don't think I'm a great developer in general, but I'm just more skilled than my team mates who are really not that good.

I'm constantly interrupted. There are always questions.

It's such a drain. I want people who can show me things, who can validate my work, I feel like I'm working in a bubble. I'm stuck to online communities for feedback and input.

I recently suggested two things, a) a couple of hours per week where individual developers can learn new stuff on their own. b) a meeting every week where we can share knowledge and mentor each other. I'm just fed up with the knowledge gap.
There was a line of Thinkpads that you could buy with FreeDOS installed for a while. I think there was an understanding that everyone would replace the OS before even booting into FreeDOS once. Perhaps they didn't want to support an official distro?

Ubuntu has by far the biggest mind share. On HN it's the only distro I'm seeing in the news. On VPS hosting it is most of the time featured alongside Debian.

I hate Unity myself, but I've switched to Xubuntu. There's also Kubuntu, and even if these are supported by the community, they do a better job than most other distros.

Also don't be fooled by stats.

I might be wrong, but my intuition is that all the competitors would be near-perfect, and every race would end in a tie, or at least be very close.
Two questions:

1. Are you happy with the Air versus the MBP?

2. Seems a strange time to buy. Why not buy in six months time?
6. TechCrunch

Yes.
So isn't it fairly natural that IE would account for most of the bugs (if that represents 3/4 of your users)?

Some of the questions I have after reading the article, which I loved the story behind.

1) What took 2 years to build? I don't understand special technology behind this site.

2) What's the value proposition to a user here? The data isn't even accurate and the site warns me of outdated prices.

3) How do you guys come up with trips? Are those manually maintained?

4) How would you make money in the end if all booking would happen by a third party?

I assume the manager would need to charge something similar (hourly rate) to what you charge even though you may be doing the more highly skilled work. Pay based on skill might be more important for more traditional employment scenarios as opposed to freelancing because of the nature of freelancing (making a living from relatively uncertain circumstances.) A manager may even have to charge more (percentage) assuming the number of hours going into the management comes out to be far less that of the coding.

Perhaps the best way to do this, especially if you would need to meet with this person, would be to make some sort of arrangement with a local dev shop which does client work.

Absolutely, but even if you go beyond 55 mph, I think that self-driving cars would still be a net benefit in terms of conserving energy. Traffic jams, which are a tremendous waste of energy, would be eliminated if every car was self-driving.
iPad _3_ owners are 'early adopters' to me - and I understand the gp as having trouble supporting the latest and greatest features - or changes- in those things.

> As a side note, I (illegally) took a video of it with my iPhone as I passed by it, but when I tried uploading it to Facebook it was denied twice because I used a copyrighted song as the background (Cars by Devo and then an obscure version of Crosstown Traffic by Living Color, which I thought would have passed the algos but I guess not)

Videos of interesting real-world events, such as a chance encounter with the Google car, are almost never improved by the addition of music, so I'd say just go ahead and upload without music.

Also, isn't Cars by Gary Numan?

Well as long as they are running WebKit and support the device pixel ratio media query, they will be supported.

But I'm guessing that Android phones with high-dpi screens that support that query are still at the single digit percentage of browser statistics.

There is not supporting IE, and there is blocking IE.

You are blocking IE - I know because I changed my user agent on my firefox browser and you blocked me, and that is not cool!

You don't even offer an option to let me try anyway!

Use feature detection if you must, ignore IE completely in testing if you wish, but do not actively block it or you are just as bad as those who only support IE.

I only using a web browser and emacs and don't care about polish much. 1) Canonical did a good thing by owning the UI with Unity; they should make it cooler, more beautiful with every release 2) They should focus on providing several high end, many low end models for developers, and experiment better with ARM based models, for example raspberry pi ubuntu 3) 6 months intervals seem to frequent now and maybe it would be better to shift to yearly releases. 4) the software center should be improved better and better.

Why? This is a sub-optimal approach. The same machine with the same OS and the same version of the same browser can render very different looks just because they user has different settings.

How do you know that your user even has a visual display? Does it matter to you if they have a portrait or landscape display?

> future versions of IE will probably be standards compliant

Are you saying that all your code is standards compliant and you're not using any browser-specific extensions?
Since a lot of the discussions here are about the benefits of autonomous cars compared to other solutions, I'd like to point out an excellent Quora question on the matter: http://www.quora.com/Transportation/Why-do-we-want-self-driv...

I am a roboticist who works on autonomous vehicles for mining applications, and I've always thought the two least obvious advantages are that a) autonomous vehicles will increase the utility of a single vehicle to the point that owning multiple vehicles becomes less necessary, and b) autonomous vehicles will increase the utility of road networks such that their existing capacity will be sufficient for far longer than expected under manned vehicle assumptions.
