At one point it seemed to me that the prices were sorted by the listed retail price for that particular item, and not the lowest offered price for it, or something along those lines. It's been years since I formed that wild guess, though. But it has seemed to roughly hold up when I'm (foolishly) trying to price-shop on Amazon.
I see a lot of programming debates start with assertions that look like this:

> Language A is dynamically typed, so it's more expressive, so you'll have working code sooner, so you'll be more productive!

or this:

> Language B is statically typed, so you can't fool the compiler, so your code is more likely to work on the first try, so you'll spend less time debugging and therefore be more productive!

Neither of these statements should carry any weight without actual hard data, no matter how compelling the argument sounds. And the fact that we can't come to an agreement about how to quantify things like productivity and "expressiveness" is itself evidence that these are subjective statements.

The whole point of science is that rational thinking alone is not enough. There must be empirical data. A rationally argued falsehood is as useless as an irrationally argued falsehood or an irrationally argued truth. A beautiful logical argument based on false premises is still wrong. Only empirical data can sort out which it is you have in hand.

I don't think Benford's law applies here: it's about the first digit of numbers (that are distribute in a certain way), but in most cases the first digit of a price will be denominating dollars, not cents.
You're missing monetization. I love instagram, but it's a lot harder to monetize than a service which amounts to a giant online shopping guide.
My question is - if they are buying a product from amazon - why don't they check product reviews posted right on amazon? Why do they need a different site? I do agree that opinions from friends and family counts a lot but the concept has many unknowns.

1. You need to communicate (with friends and family) what product you want buy from amazon
2. Then your friends and family need to have purchased the same product
3. Now, when you are looking for a product, you need to drive them to make a recommendation.

I think you should quickly test the concept and obtain some real feedback before scaling it up.

I read somewhere I cannot find right now that bcp is faster than SqlBulkCopy. My experience tends to match this, but that very well might be due to other factors (network, wrong coding, different default values between SqlBulkCopy and bcp.)

I've always considered SASS the only true successor to CSS.

LESS and SCSS are syntactically conservative. I feel they retain the grammatical conventions of CSS (curly braces) as a way to ease the learning curve for conservative developers.

They introduce developers to the powerful features (mixins, variables) of extended CSS. But retain their familiar CSS curly bracket syntax.

Eventually it makes sense for said conservative developers to take the next step and adopt SASS's clean syntax.
The interesting question is also, what are you going to do when she starts turning against it. Are you just going to let her stop it?

My parents put me into piano lessons at around the same age but by becoming about 10 years old I began getting extremely annoyed by it. Fortunately they somewhat pushed me through it despite my negativity towards it, but my piano skills would be definitely better today, if I wouldn't have been so averse the idea for many years during my puberty.
IMO, SASS ~= LESS, but Compass > *. Damn shame that Twitter Bootstrap went with LESS.

>I've heard of other schools also doing "real-time" scoring to grade teachers and catch kids falling behind early.

Why would this be a good thing?

Kids learn at different rates. I submit that the core of the problem in education is the expectation that kids should ever be forced to learn in lock-step.

Kids are developmentally all over the map on a dozen axes. I've read many stories of "unschooled" kids not learning to read until they were 12 or older, and then learning to read past "grade level" in anywhere from hours to weeks. One kid who avoided ALL math until he was 15 managed to learn standard math through High School Geometry in less than six weeks of intensive study (with a tutor), once he was internally motivated to learn it.

Given that he wasn't particularly gifted in math, think about how many hours of "instruction" in a subject he didn't like that he would have had to sit through "for his own good." And how bad he would have felt about himself if he were forced into "remedial" math classes. And the attitudes that would have formed about math.

Similarly, kids who just didn't care enough to learn to read would have been thrown into remedial classes in first grade in some schools. In first grade!

Kids that learn at their own pace (say, using Khan Academy or equivalent, or by actively unschooling them) actually learn the material better, and, more importantly, don't end up learning that "learning is boring." Which unfortunately is what almost all schools teach.

The job of "Teacher" should morph into "Mentor," and all learning should be student-driven. I actually doubt Khan Academy is "good enough" to do what I'm suggesting here, but something in that vein should replace the current broken system.

Learning shouldn't be adversarial; if it weren't, then rating teachers (i.e., mentors) would just involve asking the students whether they were helpful in their learning.

And no, I'm not just spouting utopian ideals that don't work in real life; there are thousands of families using this teaching method to good effect, producing happy, intelligent, well-educated and well-adjusted young adults (I've met several now), as well as a category of school that uses a similar teaching/mentoring technique successfully.

Curious to hear more about your complaints with PyMongo. Care to share any specifics?
That's not entirely surprising. There was a post (I think I saw it on HN but I can't find it now, dangit) that put forth the idea that unlimited data plans were bad for consumers, because then consumers' and providers' interests are unaligned. Once you pay for an "unlimited" plan, it becomes in the network's best interest for you to send as few bits as possible. Consumers should actually prefer pay-per-use plans, because it means if the network is down, the service provider doesn't get paid.

Of course, there are many other variables involved, and obviously everyone has different usage patterns.

Agreed on the syntax, but for me the bigger issue that keeps me with LESS is that I have no interest in using a Ruby project for something integral to my build process because then I can't hack at it without a bottle of antacid. I don't work in Ruby and I have a strong desire not to; on the other hand, while I don't claim to like it, I'm quite comfortable with JavaScript and can work with LESS's code if I need to (and it has come up in the past).
Not for another 5 years, I think. Because that's how long all the apps included with Ubuntu 12.04 / Mint 13 will be supported, and most of them work fine with GTK+ 2.

I also wouldn't worry too much about what desktop options I'll have in 2017. The options available at that time will probably be very different from anything we have now.

Your Starcraft example is flawed, because Starcraft is NON OSS. Therefore, they chose other means of cheating prevention. You might argue that it is security by obscurity but it is working more or less to a certain extend.

I have an example of OSS software with yet no cheater. Check out xonotic (www.xonotic.org), a heavily modified quake based shooter. They partly implement anti-cheat functionality by more or less shifting tasks from the client side to the server side, making e.g. wallhacks impossible. Also they use encryption for certain packages to prevent them from being tapered with. Aimbots are another thing, but I have yet to see one. I didn't really dig into the security features though, that is just what I picked up by casually browsing the forums...

I'm co-founder at a hedge fund startup. Much of our code may not be extremely sensitive to small delays, but picking the right datastructures makes a big difference even on small workloads. And we do have some big simulations where performance definitely counts. But mostly, picking the right datastructure isn't that hard most of the time, and is a painless kind of optimization.

I tried getting my daughters interested when they were younger. They got bored quickly and pushed back, so I dropped it. I'm glad I did.

My eldest daughter asked me when she was 10 1/2 if I'd teach her. It was so much better that way; if I'd tried to push it on her I don't think it would have worked.
My son is almost 2 years old and I'm dreaming about all the things we'll be able to do together.

My dad was also too busy to do stuff with me while I grew up. He worked hard for a living, so I don't blame him. Life is hard and somebody needs to put money on the table.

Don't be too harsh on your dad. He may have been too tired or fed up with what he did to have energy left to teach you about programming.

And on the "waisted opportunity" I don't necessarily agree. You probably became a programmer because he was one, and because you had computers around. You started hacking stuff because it was fun, but if you had a father that was a bad teacher and that pushed you in areas you didn't like, then your passion could have faded away, because passion is a fragile thing.
> a hundred people ready to pick up development at any time.

I really wish that was true. From my experience, almost every time I jump to the forks sections of libraries I'm using (or interested in using) I'm disappointed when I see that 99% of thos forks contribute nothing. Forking by definition was a serious move, now (on github/bitbucket) it's not - most of the time it's just one-click copying the project to your own collection and it's just noise when I'm really looking for an alternative fork. Just my 2 cents why I'm not impressed by numbers of forks as a project sustainability measure, it's not an opinion on less/sass specifically.

Decent food. There are two main effects at work:

If all you can afford is ramen/bread/fast food, your body makes you overeat to get enough other nutrients (eg. vitamin C, B).

The second is that your insulin goes crazy with all those simple carbs and sugars (carbs are cheap, unlike protein, fish and vegetables, and get metabolised to glucose) so you get massive blood sugar swings. The low side of those makes you eat more and get fatter.

Lottery tickets are a strawman. Or, to quote a science fiction novel that I can't quite remember: "a tax on hope."
Definitely seconding this, sass is a much better syntax than CSS, it's the difference between coffeescript and javascript, simply much less line noise and very sane defaults.

That said, I'm not sure why haml isn't as popular as sass.
When will you pipe-greaming boring cunts realise that when the stock market crashes, people's lifes are at stake ??

I feel sorry for you guys.

You have created a soap bubble, namely ignorance, around your selfs.
So, at the point CSS becomes a programming language of its own I'd rather just use java script. Somebody should come up with some way to define you style data in JSON, then parse and process the data on load.

Why Instagram was a good buy
The problem that instagram solved was picture sharing between users. This happens to be a major sticky service for facebook. Not only how easy it is to share to all your friends but also your pictures being stored. If instagram was allowed to continue the way it was facebook would have lost a major sticky service. Sharing pictures and picture storage.

I'm assuming you did not mean to come off so sneeringly, but your claims that LESS retains bracing because it's "easier" reads as contempt rather than the recognition that maybe, just maybe, the syntax you call "clean" is what someone else--like, say, me--would call "unreadable and annoying".

Personally, I like bracing, because it is a better visual indicator, for me, of structure. I dislike indent-based blocking (Python, SASS) because I think it looks cluttered; I like brace-based blocking (C, LESS) because they're unambiguous and stand-out 'signposts' for my eyes as I read code. (I'd use SCSS if it wasn't Ruby-based. I like tools I can hack on and working in Ruby is, for me, a miserable experience.)

There are more reasons make that stylistic decision than "it's easier", even if you don't like it and even if, heaven forfend, it's not part of what you consider "the only true successor".

I disagree. Labels are sometimes derived of prejudice and bigotry. But if someone is obese, and I call them fat - it's not a label that I invented because I'm "not thinking" and "I don't realize the possibilities". I am thinking, and I do realize the possibilities, and the person is still fat and the person might be me looking at the mirror. And if I don't know I'm fat because I'm afraid that by admitting it; I've jumped to a conclusion, which would in turn mean that I've avoided thinking and have jumped to a conclusion - wait, I mean stupid -- then how am I ever going to know that I can do something about it? Bleh. Fallacious logic is not logic at all.

Nope. I think revenue spending isn't really good metric of government power and so far no one has proved that. You are free to test your hypothesis though. I'd wager that there is quite a bit of income inequality if your gov. revenue is low but they spend a lot of money.
Not only that, but Node actually got faster as simultaneous connections increased while keeping a completely stable memory footprint. The benchmark showed the opposite of what the author claimed -- Node scaled effortlessly. Its performance was completely stable and predictable under load, whereas Go's wasn't.

Not to knock Go -- it's a beautiful language, and absolutely faster than Javascript for most purposes (and will no doubt increase in stability and speed as time goes on). But this post had some pretty flawed analysis of the benchmark presented.

> This is an area where hackers can really make an impact.

One of my friends has coauthored several papers with some of the BrainGate folks.

We spent a road trip a couple years ago discussing his research. One thing that jumped out is how similar many of the tools used in this field are to those in a startup. In particular, many big-data analysis tools and techniques that can be developed, optimized, and funded within the context of the web sphere are applied to the bioengineering problems. A few months ago an article floated around HN on how the current tech bubble, if it's such, lacks a "byproduct" that will benefit society when the scraps are cleaned up. You can make a pretty good argument that it's this.
