Family (share genes with CoffeeScript)[citation required]

And now you have to find a tertiary source (not even a secondary, or god forbid first-hand, like for example coffeescript.com) that proves that they share genes.

I'm not trying to be funny or sarcastic, so don't downvote me! That's what Wikipedia is, for better or for worse.
Yes, unfortunately I get one imposed on me. It is as though through the simple act of being born I'm signatory party to some contract that I have never even been allowed to read and for which there was no negotiation possible.

Without having a nationality suddenly a lot of things are no longer possible (such as travel or residency). I have no right to a pension but pay in to them, my children are not in any way subsidized by state sponsorships for parents with children ("kinderbijslag" it is called here), but I do pay my taxes and so on.

I opt out to the point that I'm able to but that doesn't go nearly far enough. I still think there is a net positive effect, even if that same effect might be achievable by some other means. I'm not an anarchist, I just don't believe that there is a good reason for nation states and such because in general they are just used as vehicles to control people or to motivate them to do bad things rather than to provide them with services that are for the common good. In that sense they are like democracy, it's what we've got because we have nothing better but there are plenty of warts and issues with the concept.

Probably my views are pretty extremist but having seen a lot of misery in people close to me grounded in nationality it is an easy one to come by. For me nationality/citizenship is a matter of choosing the least bad option, not the best. We have nothing better so this is what I'll have to live with, it's like the weather, I am incapable of making significant change so I make the best of it.
This fully crashed my version of Firefox (12.0) on OS X, with a spinning wheel of death, after getting stuck producing an incredibly annoying sound for about 30 seconds. If that's supposed to make it a good ad for Chrome, it backfired.

Can someone tell me why slapping this on the Google homepage and allowing it to run and crash in other browsers isn't as bad or worse than putting a really annoying and CPU-heavy Flash or Java program up there? At least if it were made with proce55ing or AS3 it would have worked.
The video is kind of odd, Seems like an excuse to get some crazy camera shots of the musicians. Doesn't really help sell the app at all, I would much rather have watched a shorter, more to the point promo video.

Other than that, the app looks nice!

Funny to see this post together with LLVM 3.1 announcement on the same page as both are used as backends for programming languages these days. Now question, is this world gone mad? While I can justify existence of CoffeScript(it is only a nicer Javascript, with similar or improved semantics), the whole hype about the "assembly of the web" is ridiculous. Shame that with all the advances of the technologies today we have to compile to Javascript.

Update. Nice picture to illustrate what compiling to JS feels like http://im4-tub-ua.yandex.net/i?id=140745948-54-72&n=17

123-reg technical support is busy migrating their DNS servers to new IP addresses, contrary to what they are saying about "filtering out the baddies" or "redirecting bad traffic and letting through the good traffic". This is a catastrophic attack that is extremely widespread - 123-reg host over 3 million domains in their DNS and therefore they're desperately trying to soften the blow to the public right now. Don't believe the hype! When there's no ETA in site, you know it's serious.
I don't think that really has anything to with it at all.

It comes down to how many people in the world are connected to the internet. I've seen a lot of numbers around 2 billion people. Facebook has 900 million users.

Even if they got every person on earth, thats only 7x growth (and that would be impossible).

Their valuation is not based on 2x or 6x growth, their valuation requires an order of magnitude of revenue growth. There are not an order of magnitude more users left on this planet. And that completely ignores the fact that most of the remaining people aren't as valuable to advertisers.

For an even better environment in which to learn Lua, consider checking out LOAD81:

http://github.com/antirez/load81

Its an SDL-based environment for learning to program with Lua, and it includes an editor - as well as access to a number of useful primitives that can be used to draw graphics. I love Lua (been using it for years), but LOAD81 makes me really, really squeee with delight, because its just an easy environment to do things fast. If you go with the OS-based/homebrew-based Lua, you'll just get the interpreter - but with LOAD81 you get the interpreter plus graphics capabilities. Plus, the samples in the LOAD81 project are pretty good ways to get some bootstrap knowldege, too ..
Agreed, not the prettiest graphics, but you shouldn't dismiss the data & findings because of it.

Unless of course you judge the validity of a study based on the appearance of its graphs?

Google Honors The Father of Electronic Music Bob Moog
I've used CoffeeScript both for front-end projects and node.js backends, and node.js based command line scripts (similar to what is often done in perl). It works great, but for things like command line stuff which typically runs synchronously, the CPS/callback style of programming gets really messy really fast. Using await/defer (as supported by IcedCoffeeScript) synchronous programming can be done cleanly, if you make sure you write all your own functions in a callback style, and then consistently use await/defer when you want to call them synchronously. Trying to mix the metaphors creates a huge mess; your own functions may be synchronous, but every lib you will be using will be async. Better to keep all functions - including your own - async, and then consistently call them using await/defer when you want sync behaviour.
I've been using iced for a small project I'm doing in node. It works remarkably well for me.
However, I've come to realize that it's biggest win is in forcing a simple convention on you for async code that makes it easy and clear to write even when you don't use iced.
As one of the people behind this, and a PSF director I am here to answer any questions people might have.
I use my iPad for one thing and one thing only: Making Music.

Its an absolutely fantastic synthesis platform! Nothing beats firing up the iPad(s) (I have a few for this purpose in my studio now) and having all controls available in a touch interface. This is, in my opinion, the one market segment in which the tablet computer really shines, and I say this as a person with a room full of real synthesizers to play with. The software-synthesis realm has been screaming for such capabilities for years, and the tablet delivers in this department ..
I'm writing a web app right now with a node backend, and I prefer to use the debugger over print statements. Granted I do 9-10 hours of Java programming every day before I work on the web app, so I may just be more comfortable with the debugger than some other web devs.
My apologies, between your two comments I was confused about the point you were making.

The rules around the olympics branding extends further than normal laws. There are guidelines even on referring to the games and athletes. The fact they are using a variation of the official logo is rights for a challenge. However shutting the account is a bit far. Is this in breach of twitter terms and conditions?

Edit: Their account is temporarily suspended and not shutdown. If they change the branding and verify their account they will be reinstated.
Seems expensive to me (I'm not an app developer or marketer, though!) and it's not very clear where the link on the back of the card goes. I didn't spend a lot of time trying to figure that out, on the other hand.

The prices work out as:

1000 for $180 = $0.18 per card
500 for $100 = $0.20 per card
250 for $55 = $0.22 per card
100 for $30 = $0.30 per card

Paying $0.30 (or even $0.18) for 1.5625 square inches of laser-printed paper, albeit glossy, seems like a lot. Area-wise, that's the equivalent of 1/60th of a sheet of standard "letter" format paper, by the way.

Also, I'm not sure why the 1000-pack is labelled "saves 120$" [sic], I mean ... Compared to what? $180 + $120 = $300, which means it saves as compared to buying ten 100-packs, I guess. But since the fact that you get volume discounts is very clear from the other packs, I don't think that particular claim is very accurate.
If somebody gets so much email they ignore most of it, then they're an outlier. I'd prefer to hear the opinion of somebody who receives a normal amount of email, and what they think of the issue.

Hiring C# .net Developer - London (central) - build something exciting!
@Cimex is looking for an experienced but hungry C#.NET developer to join our their-house technical development team. The developer will primarily be responsible for the ongoing development, maintenance and system design/strategy for an exciting suite of social media/community tools and applications developed in-house. What better place to find someone but HN!

We’re looking for someone with experience of system design/architecture and who has (ideally) been involved with the development of a product or single complex system in the past. They don’t have to have led development of such a system before, we’re looking for someone hungry for the experience of doing so who wants to step up to the next level.

Skills: As much work has already been done on the project, it is extremely important that the candidate is well-versed in relevant technologies, frameworks and ideas. We’re looking for a developer with experience in as much of the following as possible:

● Languages: C# 4, JavaScript, Java

● Web: ASP.NET, MVC3, JQuery, HTML, CSS

● Frameworks: WCF, Castle Windsor IoC, NHibernate, Linq

● Servers: MS SQL Server 2008, MySQL 5, Solr, Tomcat, IIS 7.5, Amazon EC2

Personality: Above all else we’re looking for a developer with an almost obsessive desire to producing high-quality technical systems and user-interfaces. While they will be working with designers and user-interface developers (JavaScript/JQuery, CSS, HTML), they will be key to the conception and development of rich user-interface elements and must have a keen and demanding eye for UX and design.

We’re looking for a ‘manager of one’, someone who takes responsibility for their work and is comfortable setting their own goals (and achieving them). While they will report into the Technical Director, they will not need heavy direction and be able to motivate and work unsupervised, actively seeking out the support they require as and when they need it.

For more info, please send an updated CV to stephanjobs1@gmail.com

For Java work I use the debugger a lot. When working on my Django or Python projects I use it a lot as well since its built into PyCharm. When writing code in emacs etc I tend to not bother.

I also make heavy use of logging statements, but these are usually left in for debug builds and used to help find unexpected bugs rather than active debugging.

Just recently had to start using JavaScript so I have spent some times figuring out FireBug and its debugger. I must say I was pleasantly surprised that it works well.

The opposite seems more likely: the corrupt get more power.

I think that's a false dichotomy. Power corrupts and the corrupt get power. Also, it's not binary but rather goes by degrees. Thus the long pursuit of power tends to lead to thorough corruption.

I don't think someone like Page is completely immune to the allure of power, but he may have a high resistance to it.

Caveat: I'm using the term a little loosely - there are different sorts of corruption.

iOS is not a direct competitor of Android.
Apple is selling iOS devices.
Google is distributing the Android platform to hardware manufacturers so they can sell mobile/connected devices.

So yes, there is no way that Android hardware & software fragmentation is going away.
Just like there is no way that web browsers fragmentation is going away (hello HTML5 moving standard!).
I'm also pretty sure that iOS fragmentation will become more and more important (new iPhone screen... Apple TV ...).

What point are you trying to make that you need the "most cutting edge" compilers? C++11 just came out: of course you need a cutting edge compiler. That won't be true for that much longer though.

The template machinery isn't that horrible. Certainly not so significant as to seriously impact programmer productivity. A brace-enclosed initializer list of ints (e.g. { 1, 2, 3, 4 }) is considered a std::initializer_list<int> and this is what a constructor taking such an initializer list looks like:

T (std::initializer_list<int> l)
{
for (int i : l) {
// Do something with i (e.g. copy it into the data structure)
}
}

In fact, the C++ designers have created a basic data structure that's defined in the language itself: std::initializer_list. It's just so minimal that it's only used to initialize more complex, user-defined types. That way programmers have the benefit of the "syntactic sugar" even for data types that the C++ designers never could have envisioned.
For that point, yes I will give you credit. At least facts give you something real to argue for or against.

Thank you but I'm British, I really don't need to have it explained to me what I knighthood is.

The whole Royal family works in two ways - the theoretical what they (or more usually the Queen) can do, and the way it actually works.

In theory the Queen can veto any law, could decide who to knight herself and so on but in reality this doesn't happen for the simple reason that the minute she did we the people would advance on Buckingham Palace with torches and pitchforks and burn the place to the ground. She is very much the Queen because the people and the government allow her to be, whatever the technicalities of the law say.

The reality of the situation is that the democratically elected government (sort of, see the House of Lords below) make all the decisions and the Queen merely "endorses them" (though even that suggests she has a say in it which she doesn't in any real way).

Do the Royal family have influence? Yes they do, but I'd suggest it's really no more than anyone else with that much money has (look at Adrian Beescroft right now) and they're far better than most with that much money in this sense as they're aware that they should remain neutral and do so. Generally the worst that happens is that Prince Charles runs his ill informed mouth about homoeopathy and architecture.

It's an odd system and no-one in their right mind would design one like it but as it operates now it's really not that broken.

If you want to take a swipe at something can I suggest the unelected House of Lords which has genuine power over the laws of the land and frequently uses it?

And even they tend to be a force for good, curbing the worst excesses of successive governments, though I may be more positively inclined towards them than I could otherwise be as I detest the current government so like that the Lords are giving them the run around.
