One pet peeve I've got with Android and Google Play is that my country is still not supported in Google Checkout, so I can't register for a merchant account.

This means that I cannot sell apps, so the 3 options I have would be to:

1) go with an ad-supported model

2) enable in-app payments with a third-party provider, such as PayPal, but this is tricky because it goes against the guidelines of Google Play

3) publish the app on my own website, with payments through PayPal, being the only sane solution for me in case I don't want an ad-supported model

I'm extremely disappointed that Google, after 4 years of Android being on the market, is still not allowing my country. And I wouldn't have a problem selling iOS apps in iTunes.
Not only that, but there have been numerous reports of extremely poor customer service for Google Checkout, so even if you're blessed to live in an approved country, you can still get fucked.

And then people wonder why the ad-supported model is preferred for Android.

Getting an appointment with everyone you cold-call sounds like you're simply delaying the subject from turning you down. Surely not all of these converted?

Are you creating too wide of a funnel and causing a problem further down the line in lost time pitching to those who you wouldn't let turn you down on the phone?

TL;DR did you over-optimize your cold-call?
I didn't put the word horrible in your mouth. Nor did I make you suggest that American conservatives are deluded by dark, sinister forces which have cleverly led them to believe the evil things they believe.

You were being patronizing, which is an easily recognizable form of contempt. I'm taking the same attitude toward you, in the perhaps vain hope that it might help you see how rude you're being. I'm also quite happy to classify you culturally as a function of your belief system, which is once again good for the gander.

As it happens, I don't have a problem with either "torture" or gay marriage. However, because I have been exposed to plenty of perfectly intelligent arguments for waterboarding and against gay marriage, I can tell you haven't been. No, I would not recommend Fox News as an introduction to conservative thought - try Burke. Or better yet Maistre. And have some more arugula, preferably with the chevre.

(Also, if you think there's a meaningful difference between American communism and "socialism" or "radicalism" or "progressivism" or "liberalism," I suggest the following exercise - pick an arbitrary NYT obituary of anyone over 80, ie anyone who was an adult in the '40s, and try to classify your subject as "communist," "socialist," "progressive" or "liberal." Unless you say that only a card-carrying CPUSA member can be a "communist," which is an abuse of the English language, you'll find no basis for any such distinction.)
It isn't "necessary for evolution" but rather an inevitable consequence of evolution. Quite different. Aging species outcompete ageless species in near every niche, with a few interesting exceptions. That says nothing about aging other than how effective a strategy it is in evolutionary competition - if living every moment of life in agony was an effective strategy, we'd all be doing that. See:

http://www.fightaging.org/archives/2011/03/we-age-because-th...

Evolution in the natural sense, of course, has little to do with our future now that we're getting our hands on the controls of biology, and then technologies that can replace biology. Though in the general sense it will play an important role in every culture build by humans.
Wow, excited to see a shout out on HN for something I created!

I'll try to answer any questions you have, especially technical questions about running a game with thousands of users on Node.

(Edit: spelling)
I've heard this game called "eat poop you cat"

It's awesome in a group setting with pen and paper.
20%... ouch
I tried guessing Pascal and Modula and a few more for Delphi. I was thinking to myself "what other languages look like Pascal" and in the end gave up. Felt really dumb then when it turned out to be Delphi.

The other one where this happened was F#. I tried OCaml and Snandard ML and was thinking "this HAS to be OCaml..." and again, felt silly for not thinking of F#.
Same happened to me at "Bash". Chrome 18 stable, OS X.
Author here. Sorry for nipping your adventure short, but I caught sight of how fast the logs were scrolling, noted the HN referrer, and decided it'd probably be best to stop requesting the next code block from the server and just store everything client-side. With almost 10k uniques in ~16 hours, I imagine I've gone well over the 750 free dyno hours with this one. Oops...
What browser and version are you using? I developed the drawing tool using Chrome, tested in Firefox, and people tell us it works on the iPhone and iPad.

Also the game is 100% Javascript - if you are disabling Javascript it won't work.
Thank you for your in depth and insightful reply - what you say makes a lot of sense. Good luck with your thesis and I would personally love to see a summary of your findings posted here on HN :)

I particularly like the comment about discipline. I've read the arguments that we are in a current period of technological stagnation, and if that is actually the case I think one of the big detractors is our lower levels of discipline compared to people in the 20th century.

Over the last 30 years or so, the media has gotten much more effective at making us slaves. We are more compelled to watch mind-numbing programs on TV, and now today play mind-numbing apps, and view mind-numbing content on the internet.

Even 'thoughtful' content like that on HN has the effect of scattering our minds and making it harder to focus on a particular task.

I think times like these 30 minutes, where you buckle down with no distractions can be very beneficial to overall productivity.

I don't believe they are just sitting out there like open source. I believe you will have to purchase this libraries. Just like you. However, the problem boils down to the fact that you will be developing on custom hardware, thus the libraries will probably not be reusable. Basically you have to prove that all lines of code are part of the requirements, no dead code. You will also have to prove that all code fails in a fail safe manner. I.e. the plane won't crash

Arguably.
While it is true that the SPD has departed from its roots as a socialist working class party they can still be considered "leftwing".
I don't want to go into too much detail here but Hannelore Kraft has run on a pretty leftwing platform of social policy (offering free childcare, as but one example).

When compared to american politics... pretty much every german party except maybe the FDP can be considered "leftwing" or even "socialist".

I love your comparison gpl and bsd licenses to different religions/philsophical ways of dealing with violence.

However, the game theoretic consequences of absolute non-violence (as in Jainism) are negative, unless non-violence is adhered to by everyone in the neighborhood. Or, I suppose you could say instead that non-violence is not a principle to be taken alone. In order to be effective and safe, you have to divest yourself of anything worth stealing, avoid creating interpersonal problems, and stay out of environments where you might be caught up in unrelated violence.

Since copyright has no meaning in isolated or pure environments like that, the analogy breaks down. Copyright is fundamentally a social and legal construct, not a philosophical one.

It's not quite accurate to draw the comparison with a 2-clause BSD license though. Relinquishing copyright and placing code into the public domain would be more pure. Authors licensing code under a 2-clause BSD license are threatening to sue if proper attribution is not kept. 3 and 4 clauses licenses add more promises to sue under some conditions.
Why would you even bother talking to them? I'd hang up / kick them out.
You are deeply missing the difficulty. If a kid would listen to reason or threat, this problems would never existing. Or worse, he could rationally know the profit in evil.
Ask HN:  Soft. eng. unsatisfied at BigCo.  Quit and then look for another job?
Hi,
I'm a software eng. who graduated from college last year and I, mistakingly, took a job at a BigCo which is in an industry I'm not passionate about at all. And since I didn't have any say in what team I'd be in -- I've been assigned to a team that does 90% support work. I've been updating my dev skills by doing side projects after work (just to learn, nothing anti-competitive or for monetary purposes).

I'm already looking for another job and since the market is quite hot, I'm receiving a lot of requests to interview and meet with companies. This requires me to take time off work, often sporadically. It's only a matter of time before my team begins to suspect something is off, and also I don't feel that great having to take time off work to interview with other companies (not to mention, it often requires rescheduling meetings due to obligations at work).

So, I was wondering if I should just quit and spend all my efforts on looking for a job (and doing side projects in the meantime). How would potential employers perceive that?
I know the general advice is to secure a job before you quit your current one, but I think an exception can be made in this market.

Just to add, I've had a few decent internships under my belt during college, which I believe is helping me a lot with getting that first call from potential employers.
I worked with one person who I think could probably get a pretty high score. He was always talking about crazy esoteric languages that I'd never heard of - but then again, he was working on his own programming language in his spare time. So language enthusiasts or compiler writers would probably score better.
The Old Testament also suggests Abraham lived to 175; Genesis says Enoch lived to over 360.

Given BCE life expectancy I think it's safe to interpret all these numbers as "poetically large" and leave it at that. :)
It'd be fun to see the complete list of languages. I was clicking 'Forfeit' to see if Mercury was included.
Most likely using 1553. Since its a military aircraft and most DoD equipment for aircraft use 1553. AIRNC 429 is typically isninly user when trying to integrate a COTS equipment. However 1553 wouldn't be ideal for exchanging large amoints of data.... more like "status" and switching. Its highly deterministic regarding timing of messages.
You're right. Just put in the hours regularly and so much can be done. I think the problem for most, me at least, is the regularly part.

I recently started Project Persist, involving an hour of side-project work per working day. It has gone reasonably well, with some decent strides made, but as soon as priority work emerges, often for days at a time, the side-projects wait again. Solo-founder issue, maybe.

But it's good to see others trying to buckle down, work systematically on creating something of value to all concerned. It's tough. But rewarding results don't come easy, I guess.

Edit: Forgot to mention, I appreciate your blog design. I'm no designer, but that's no ordinary minimalist design to my untrained eye.

> What end-user rights does the GPL grant or protect that the BSD license doesn't?

The right to receive a copy of the implementation of the program they are using and re-distribute it freely.

I say "right" here, because in the case of BSD source on the internet it could be more accurately coined an "election" to distribute the source. As you say, "whatever the hell you want." Which is fine. So is requiring copies to carry a complete copy, including the human-readable form, and the rights to redistribute those, ala GPL.

The Institute of Medicine has a great report that explains why waiting until you know what a disease is before treating it is so damaging:

http://www.iom.edu/Reports/2011/Relieving-Pain-in-America-A-...

The current system is a complete farce. The vast majority of chronic illnesses that western medicine purports to treat don't even exist in any meaningful sense, they're just made up in order to make the medical system seem more 'scientific' in order to make money and justify taking away people's freedom.

I would prefer it to be the default, but I'm really happy you've included that for people who don't have either.

There is a flip side to that. You ever hear of an actual customer losing their money in one of these attacks on banks?

It's all about the cost of doing vs. the cost of fixing it and who ends up paying.
my fears exactly. I would have never thought I'd actually say this; but if humanity wants to continue its venture in the 21st century, we'll have to learn discipline again.
I had a BigCo manager once who gave me some really good advice, that is to publicly let it be known that you are interviewing at least once a year. Now, in your case I'm not sure I'd let it generally be known how much I was interviewing, but letting people know you're looking at what's out there is usually not too bad an idea. Who knows, maybe they'll be able to do something to address your concerns?

But if not, and you just don't have any passion there, please leave. Life's too short to work on boring crap and decent developers are rarely at risk of starving.
You should really give SlideME a try, some have been pleasantly surprised by it. Maybe even Amazon's marketplace thing.

The end-user is not the developer who re-uses GPL'd code, but the guy who uses the final program.

By licensing code under the GPL, you grant the end-user the right to use and modify any program using your code as he sees fit (as long as he adheres to the rules of the GPL on re-distribution), and no intermediate developer can legally take that right away.

Of course this restricts the freedom of indermediate developers, but the GPL is intentionally -Ouser, not -Odeveloper. It just so happens that some users are also developers.

The single thing to treat, the thing that is the
precursor to all other things, is ageing.

I do not agree. My grandfather died at 99 years old. He was able to work his land until 98, lived a full life and died with no regrets. We were sad of his passing, but we accepted his death and were happy that he died fast, without much struggling.

You know what's really sad? A 22 year old boy dying of an unnoticed heart disease that led to a sudden cardiac arrest. This happened to an acquaintance of mine and it was freaking sad, as this boy was robbed of a chance to live his life.

Ageing is not the problem. The problem is that we are nowhere close to treating chronic diseases like cancer or heart diseases. The problem is that we don't even know for sure the cause of obesity or diabetes, passing baseless assumptions and flawed studies around that cause more harm than good. The problem is that we have no idea how to treat allergies and based on recent trends allergic asthma will soon be considered an epidemy. The problem is that we haven't even cured the freaking common cold.

Medicine, as far as I'm concerned, is still at the stage of alchemy. Dreaming of increasing the maximum lifespan or even of immortality is a romantic notion, but I would be happy if young people had a chance of living their life, instead of dying of diseases that have been around forever.
Overthinking it. Vague reasons work even with your spouse. And they can nag you - these folks you won't evem be sleeping with after you submit your resignation.
Well said, I think you've hit the nail on the head. Here in Ireland (republic of) I've heard, anecdotally, that the police will quite frequently give chase to joyriders and people speeding, but will very quickly give up the chase if they don't think it'll be reined in quickly. So police in Europe generally may be willing to let people go to de-escalate a situation and save lives, of both suspects and innocent bystanders.

It is very simular - but we actually had never heard of or played Broken Picture when we created the game.

I wish we knew about it before launching because there have been many times when deciding how the game should work that it would have been much easier to know how Broken Picture did things, such as how long chains should be and how to handle jerky players.
I don't have the "Feynman Lectures on Physics" where the driver and police officer situation originally took place. The book "What Do You Care What Other People Think" I own (audio version, read from 1989 edition) contains the story "Feynman Sexist Pig!" that is reprinted in the blogpost (and it seems to me, completely unaltered) has no clues or hints on the police officer gender in the initial story.
Hmm. If the server-side app requires CSS/HTML4 and the client has to run on Win3.1, how about writing a proxy? The proxy would present a simplified HTML3.2 interface, and handle interpreting Javascript events and managing cookies to support a session talking to the server?

(It's a horrible kludge, but if it saves $150,000 ...)
It's disappointing that this is only an idea, as opposed to a semi-working prototype.
Awesome work, either way! Very impressive collection of language samples.
It would make great post to tell us how you put this together, especially where these code samples were from and anything else of interest.
Kudos!

I just switched to using this with Alfred because of speed alone.

I just set up a custom search using the url: dash://{query}

And a few specific custom searches like: dash://css:{query} or dash://php:{query} if I want to get to something specific.

It seems the System Service for searching in Dash wasn't working in IntelliJ IDEA so I set up a hotkey instead in Alfred to search Dash with the selected text. Works great.

I'll probably never even touch the snippet functionality, but I'll buy it when it is released for the speedy searches.

Access to food and water are can be recognized as rights in the same way we recognize the right to free speech as a right, i.e. that you may not be prevented from pursuing the object of that right by law or policy.

The right to food means that you may not be artificially constrained from growing and producing food for yourself by your own means. It doesn't mean that anyone's obligated to give you free food; the UN's concept of rights, as implied by the linked Wikipedia article, is simply wrong. How can you have a right that can only be invoked by the action of third parties?

Having a right and possessing the object of that right are two entirely different things.
