It's not a flaw on your part. Stop being so moralistic. That kind of job is something that NOBODY needs to do. If we really tried, we could automate those jobs within a couple of decades or less. But we won't because those workers are possibly even cheaper than the maintenance of a potential automation solution, not to mention the R&D that would be needed to arrive there.
That's fair; I didn't realize the fraction was so high. So, I guess the question then would be do freemium sales by affiliated apps constitute a meaningfully "diversivied" revenue stream? I'd argue that they don't, honestly. Downturns in the market that reduce eyeballs will hit them both. Both scale more or less directly with disposable income in the facebook user demographic.

Normally you talk about diversification in the sense of risk management: i.e. "It's OK if the social media market tanks because we still sell phone service." (or whatever: hardware, concert tickets, coal mine permitting services, etc...).

From that perspective, both Facebook and Google are very exposed. Though if anything I'd still say that Google is better situated due their presence in pretty much all of online advertising. As long as there is anything worth advertising to someone on the internet, Google has an answer for that.
Very true. But I have also heard that there are no women on that options trading team. Furthermore, you NEVER make a bet without hedging it. This was a foolish trade that stemmed from a feeling of omnipotence.
At least with Coda 1, Ruby and Python are supported too -- and JavaScript, obv. But it's not as robust as some more hardcore text editors.
They seem to have defined their target user, and design around it. And I think most of us are not this target user.

I have used Coda since 1.0, but later switched to TextMate and now, Sublime Text. And eventually, I replaced all the good parts of Coda with something that wouldn't work with Coda as well:

- I write Ruby, not PHP, and it's not one-input-file-equals-one-output-file at all. So preview is not that useful. Completion probably won't work for Ruby as well as for PHP, and so on.

- I don't write CSS or JS anymore, and I don't think I could live without my SCSS or CoffeeScript (well, I can, but it's painful). So all the fancy CSS GUI pop-ups don't help, I have a probably even better solution in code and mixins.

- Finally, all the UI seems to be Novice-friendly, with sidebars and tabs, while I don't even have a sidebar at all on ST2, and just use Cmd+T for opening / switching files.

Also, as for the site itself, the demo tour looks awesome (even though a bit crammed).

All the best to them! I won't be upgrading, but I think many will find Coda 2 a great improvement.

P.S. I love that they list app being "Retina-Ready" while we still don't have any retina Macs yet :)
I didn't hear him encouraging Mule Radio or any mention of mule. He just says Gruber started the show on his own.
At first, I didn't quite get it either.. probably just because I'm a few beers down. But, its not just your boss i guess.. the two posters above didn't get it either.. of course its just that imaginary numbers are written with real part on left and imaginary on right.. "a + bi".. but the author takes a right when leaving for the real part from the imaginary. That was a good one!
I've brought this idea up on occasion with one of my inlaws who runs a small business, nothing sexy but it makes money and is profitable and growing. He hates the idea, when I ask why he responds with "it's just not how it's done" I think it's a shame though as it is a family business with a few employees and I recon they would find those employees would feel much more empowered to see the business do well and feel more a part of it. It is after all their work as well which goes into make the business grow.
I really can't see using this for quick fixes when I am highly mobile. A better solution for me is Sublime Text on my Macbook Air.

On the Epistemic Status of Deathbed Regrets
I don't know what difference the "Github = git" distinction makes, from an oAuth perspective it still seems implicitly obvious to me that completing the signup and adding SSH keys are distinct tasks.

As for "CLI installer" (I presume you mean the installer for the CLI git client), and Cygwin, I'm not sure what to say. I've used the Git installer dozens of times without problem, there aren't exactly tons of places for it to go wrong. Are there specific or particular issues you have with it?

I do indeed forget that some programmers manage to make it far resisting learning to use the command line. Even with step-by-step instructions. I guess at some people I'm willing to fault the developer rather than tools that are powerful that come with good documentation.
According to the article Pinterest is spending on AWS EC2 >$30k to support 18M visitors/month.

Data: $52/h (peak time, let's say 18 out of 24 hours) and $15/h (night time, let's say 6/24).

Edit: as pointed in the comments $30k/month would only be the EC2 costs.
Sorry, you seem to know all this.

Not at all, this is interesting. Thanks for the info.
They didn't price it right. The underwriters had to continuously buy any shares to artificially hold the price above $38.

> Also some peoples fingers are just too short

I don't think it is true, I believe it's a matter of stretch - pros of my size who practiced for years can play more demanding stuff, I even met a girl who was way shorter than me, but could play bigger intervals on piano.

> and/or they lack musical "sense" (hearing, rhythm, whatever it is that makes me suck at anything musical) which I doubt this setup helps.

I don't think it's true either. Hearing, rhythm can be improved by exercises. Probably some people are born with better hearing/feel, but practice makes a huge difference. Professional musicians usually do ear training for years (ie most schools incorporate this kind of class); you can also use some software for that - I'm pretty sure I wasn't born with any sort of talent/sense, but did lots and lots of training and got to reasonable level where I can improvise and play by ear. Many musicians that didn't have formal training claim that they listened to radio and just tried to play what was there - this is also some sort of ear training, though it is rather painful, I think. Some ear training software I used are GNU Solfege (free, works with linux) and EarMaster (paid, windows).
It's confusing that the Coda 2 landing page says both "Get it May 24th, 2012" and "Get in Now".
Users really had to wait so they could build a MySQL editor? Who was asking for that? I'm pretty disappointed, unlike the voiceover for that video. Think I'll stick to Espresso.

What Might My Resume look Like If I Were a Computer ?
The other day I was about to update my resume, and this crazy question came to my mind:
What might my resume look like if I were a computer ?
And This was the result: http://samanbarghi.com/resume/. (Best viewed in Chrome and Firefox, if I turn to a computer I will run Unix based systems and IE does not exist in my world).

.
.
.
I applied the rules above to myself and came up with me as a computer resume. If someone take a look at this resume, by one look they know if they are interested in what I am doing or not. So the real question is not whether one day I turn into a computer or not, it is why in 21st century most resumes are still flat lists and lack a specific hierarchy? I would be bored looking at hundreds of flat listed resumes each having pages and pages of information, I would be happy to hear from other peoples’s point of view? Although there are some really creative resume designs out there, what would be your suggestion to change the way most people present their resume !? What would your resume look like if you wanted to think out of the box!? What type of info helps HR and hiring staff evaluate a resume better? is there any research going on this subject?
There's a third-party syntax mode for WordPress on Coda 1, I suspect it will still work for v2: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-syntax-mode-for...
It's not PR. Take his first sentence in the explanation, "Since a lot of people have been asking about it..."

There are a lot of rumors and Dan just rightfully is trying to put in a final statement so that he and the audience can move on. It is customary given the abrupt change in programming and it shows proper respect for the audience.
This would be great but is, unfortunately, naive. These are exactly the kind of learnings that businesses benefit from by keeping private.

Sharing these tips with your competitors, especially in a scenario like this where you'd literally drive up the prices of your own ads, doesn't make much sense.
Outside of checking id_rsa into your Git repo or emailing it, (which would be equivalent to doing so with passwords.txt), SSH (and thus Git) protect you from leaving id_rsa with open permissions. Though it may not be obvious that id_rsa is something to protect. (though again, I don't go emailing random files I don't understand either).

That having been said, I'm certainly not a security expert. Are there other common things to look out for to ensure my private key(s) are safe?
But couldn't that be said about Facebook too?

>Instead of one gigantic process that has to handle all of an application, you'd have a handful of little ones. Instead of scaling massive applications across a cluster, you just scaled each interface out as needed. Instead of upgrading the whole enchilada at once, you just upgraded each interface only if it needed it. Instead of worrying about migrating user's coroutines across upgrades you just did the "Erlang trick" and moved them over to the new deployments.

He goes on to describe Tir, the natural style, and Lua's coroutines. Great intro to a fun framework.
Bravo.
Congratulations to you all on a great piece of open software
It is not clear to me what Coda is. They certainly do not mention it at the site. It looks like some form of IDE but there no other information. I am not going to go through the tutorials without some simple explanation of what it is and where it is applicable.
I can see upper middle-class parents getting this for their kids who think they want to learn to play guitar.

Ask HN: Any Hackers Attending TechCrunch Disrupt?
I'm not big on "networking," but I'd love to meet other fellow hackers (read people who code) at Disrupt, especially people working with similar technologies. I figure there are others who want to meet similar folks as well. Comment w/ your name, technologies you like working with, some way to get in touch w/ you, and network away.

I'm Toufique. I love all things search (Solr, local search, social search), recommendation engines & algorithms, crawling, text extraction & unstructured data. If you need any help w/ any of that stuff, feel free to reach out. It's actually my sad idea of fun. toufique at gmail.
The second number is changing more frequently now, instead of the third.
Then you missed it- starting at 4:17 he says "I do really want to wish John all the best with anything he does, including his new show, and I encourage you to give it a try too. You can check it out at its new home on muleradio.net."
I'm also a stutterer. Everyday life is really a challenge when you are handicapped. And working life is even harder. Living in Germany, there is no way to do an interview via chat. They want to telephone with you and see you in person after the phone call. So it's almost impossible to get a job without help or connections. If you are lucky and got a job, you will always earn less than your workmates. The reasoning goes like this: 'Why would we want to pay this guy more money? He won't quit anyway. And if he quits, it's ok. He is handicapped, he should be happy to work for us." Unfortunately, they are right. But even buying a cup of coffee at starbucks is hard. Or buying a hamburger or a beer. You get the idea. And yes, i'm alone and unloved. Is it self-pity? I really don't know. But "normal" people can't imagine what it's like being deaf or being a stutterer etc. In the past, i always tried to be better in some other areas. Be a better programmer, work more, learn lots of things. But in the end, it's useless. The average normal guy will always get the job. Or the raise. Or the girl. Or have a nice chat with the starbucks clerk. My strategy for the future? None, I'm clueless.
From http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-21/jpmorgan-cio-risk-c... : """ Irvin Goldman, who oversaw risk in the JPMorgan Chase & Co. unit that suffered more than $2 billion in trading losses, was fired by another Wall Street firm in 2007 for money-losing bets that prompted a regulatory sanction at the firm, Cantor Fitzgerald LP, three people with direct knowledge of the matter said. """

Apparently, this guy had a history, no change was needed.
This is probably a good tool for a few aspects of getting someone started on the guitar, but honestly I think it's the minority. Hitting the right string while holding down the right fret isn't that hard. The problem is doing it in such a way that you can raise your speed or start hitting multiple strings at once with different fingers. And doing that isn't that hard, but it requires good instruction and a daily investment of a small amount of careful practice by the student (about 10 minutes to start, 20 or 30 minutes a day later -- once the technique clean, then you can begin the long ramp up to being the kind of monster that can play 8 hours a day).

I taught someone the equivalent for violin in 6 months (and the initial learning curve on violin is absurdly long compared to guitar). That wasn't the limiting factor, though. The limiting factor was the music: timing, ear training, articulation, dynamics, how to shape a melody, how to read music, how to write music, a body of carefully studied examples to be able to work on...

I'll probably pass on this one. I used Coda 1 for a bit but then moved onto TextMate when I started doing almost everything with Rails.

The one Panic app I still use often is Transmit, so I wouldn't mind if they worked on upgrading that now that Coda 2 is near completion.
Everyone commenting about open source in this thread, who is not a Chromium developer, has built Chromium from source?

It's really easy, right? And it works just the same as Chrome, right?

Mozilla is open source but the complexity and volume of the code means very few people can work with it.

How many of you, who are not Mozilla developers, have modified the Firefox source and compiled a working version?
I'm surprised that the responses to this amount to, "I don't understand it, don't want to follow instructions and want a two-click GUI". Git isn't magic. To leverage it well, you need to be willing to get down and dirty with the CLI sooner or later. If you're unwilling to learn Git, don't use it.

If you're a dev, source control is one of your tools. Learn it or find a tool that holds your hand more. I don't know how it gets more hand-holdy than step by step instructions that take 4 minutes to carry out.

Is anyone going to actually reply, or should I continue taking downvotes as "I disagree or I deserve more hand-holding"?

I appreciated this article for, while simple, it helped me solidify my own project "development" flow. I had already decided on a CI application, and after a recent interview, found that Hudson was forked to Jenkins. Since I wanted to do Agile Scrum, I found Redmine. This article helped me put the pieces together, and I even cloned the code they wrote to make my activities easier.
On booms and busts
I'm sad the word 'robot' hasn't appeared in this thread yet. Let's correct that.

Visual slam is great for medium distances, but pointclouds aren't really that dense and are slow to update. Also the lidar to make the point clouds is stupid expensive.

Add one of these guys onto your robot and you've got a really cool set of 'wiskers.' Short range, highly sensitive, super fast update. I'd love to put several of these on a robot and use that to give it a sensitive field surrounding its body.

Depending on how open the software and hardware are this will be a great addition to the robotics community.
I get really sick of this attitude.

None of us want to understand every single domain of knowledge from set theory or quantum physics up to cosmology or social psychology.

I personally have been forced to learn more low-level Unixy things than I ever wanted to. I want to write simple and elegant front and back end code quickly so I can spend my spare time honing UX and other human-facing aspects of my work.

I resent being flamed because I don't fully understand the subtleties of zsh or nginx or or whatever other shiny toy someone else happens to find essential knowledge. Your world might not necessarily be mine.

There might be a lot to mock business schools about, but the piece was about Thiel's school, which has apparently earned some mockery as well.
One of the best programmers I've ever known was legally blind. He had progressive Miopia so he could see a few characters at a time on the screen if enlarged enough. I sometimes wonder if that actually forced a level of rigor in his approach to programming that the rest of us did not have to deal with that made him so good. He would envision a program in his mind almost completely before ever started entering the code. I learned a lot working with him.
Yes, see "heavily-modified Django"

(even though this is probably around scalability and connecting with other technologies)

Scalability and uptime is still hard

Still, Pinterest is laying on a great infrastructure (EC2, Elastic Map Reduce) and using it to the fullest.
But, this is exactly what learning programming is like. And, from what I've read, learning code and learning music is cognitively similar from a didactic standpoint.

Programming tutorials force you to physically type examples in verbatim to get a specified result. The result is a compilable program. Put your hands in the right place on a GTar, and at the end you're that much closer to learning a song.

This device seems to make it easier to learn where to put your fingers to get your result. It's illuminated tablature transferred directly to your fretboard.
You are just counting EC2 cost. The AWS cost for 410TB of S3 storage is around $39k. You would need to add in BW cost on top of that.

It is also interesting that they seem to be using Akamai for a CDN instead of Cloudfront so not a completely AWS based solution.

I wish they went into what they are storing in S3. 410TB is a lot of storage. My initial guess was cached images but 80M objects breaks down to 5MB per object and that is a lot more than what is needed for image caching.
Are you serious? The first paragraph:

"You code the web. We revolutionized that process in Coda, putting everything in one place. An editor. Terminal. CSS. Files."
> we even had a Muslim fundamentalist who is very concerned about things in Pakistan.

So, does having an interest in your homeland make you a fundamentalist all of a sudden? I'm Pakistani. I read and share stories about Pakistan all the time. Its offensive to assume that because I have an interest in stories about my homeland (which happens to be a breeding ground for religious fundamentalists), I'm a religious fundamentalist as well. (I'm not at all religious, actually.)
Instead of worrying about migrating user's coroutines across upgrades you just did the "Erlang trick" and moved them over to the new deployments.

I'd like to hear how this works in detail. Suppose a user is exercising a multi-request handler, say pagination of personalized results.

At what point do you kill the coroutine and let the next request start a new handler in the new, upgraded process? What about state that the coroutine may have that hasn't been persisted anywhere else?

I'd only fund it if it goes toward burning down the RIAA offices. Don't give them money and make them think what they are doing is right or just, the RIAA is scum and they screw artists out of profit for their works too. The only acceptable solution is the dissolution of the RIAA/MPAA. It looks like it's already happening as artists harness the power of the internet, but I'm sure we'll have to deal with these dinosaurs of organizations for a few more decades at least.
