Divorce in itself is not failure, however in a culture with a 50% divorce rate I think this is a symptom of a much bigger problem: such a high divorce rate means that many people are not committed to their marriage or to the concept of family.

If you take a look at modern societies, such as the US, you'll notice that people are more and more disconnected from their families and their place of birth and their culture. Good friends and big families are increasingly rare occurrences. Incidentally this is why people give birth to fewer and fewer children: because they've got no family to rely on.

And really, life is hard and hollow that way.

Putting yourself first does not necessarily make you happier, while compromises done for the good of your family can make you happier in the long term ... not much different than how abstaining from sweets and soda will make you healthier and thinner. Really, don't be a self-centered jerk, as you'll regret it in the end.
Whether it's 100% or 40%, I'm very happy with this. The problem with OpenOffice for many years was that it was very slow, and it's even a problem today (e.g. if your machine is heavily loaded and you find yourself having to start an office suite, you usually regret it).
Haha! Totally understand it can come across that way.

The point I was trying to make, which I've clearly not succeeded with, is that I don't actually plan it as it happens, and I don't think individually of all these details as I do them. I'm not a robot with an algorithm of each step, going through them one by one with perfect precision. Rather, if I sit down and think hard about literally every step that I go through, this is what the routine is. In my mind, I think of none of it - it is completely habitual and I'm on autopilot. I can do the whole routine without expending much energy, so I have all the energy for other things - the more unexpected things that come up and we need to deal with (happens plenty in a growing startup).

Indeed. In the 80s and early 90s there was a huge "public domain" scene, but no-one thought about source code.
How does the 'Project Trial' work for people who have full-time jobs already? I am sure it is great for evaluating those who are able to commit to such a thing, but aren't you leaving potentially valuable team members unable to pass muster due to time (rather than lack of fit) reasons?

I've had the same experience with competition and I'd say a lot of other members of HN would too.

Competition is too much of a motivator for me and my competitive personality. As soon as a competitive element is introduced to exercise it completely takes the fun out of it.
NlpTools - Natural Language Processing Toolkit for PHP
In my first visit to Silicon Valley in 2007, one of the hosts of the "Super Happy Dev House" hackathon said he saw as many Macs as PCs at the event for the first time.

First, the release of new Intel-based MacBook Pros around that time enabled developers to try OS X while taking Windows along with them.

Second, the new Intel MacBook Pro became the best Windows laptop, rivaling the keyboard of IBM Thinkpads but with a much better display.

Third, students got a one-time 25% discount on any Mac if they joined the Student Developer program for OS X, making prices more reasonable.

Fourth, the success of the iTunes App Store a year later made purchasing a Mac a no-brainer for iOS developers.

Fifth, hundreds of dollars of discounts and free iPod Touches have been offered to students for many years, many of whom have graduated and brought the Mac to their workplace and replaced them with new Macs.

Sixth, the release and refinement of the ultra-thin and light MacBook Air over the years culminated in affordable 2011 models that people could take with them wherever they went, such as hackathons, thus further 'advertising' the Mac to observers like you.

Seventh, the general reduction in price of Macs over the years, the improvements in the operating system like Time Machine and cheap upgrades between major releases, tie-ins with iPhone, iPad, iTunes, and iCloud, and the cool factor of owning a Mac are many factors which also contributed to increased ownership of Apple products.

Edit: from reading other responses to this question, I agree that hardware features like compatibility with Linux distros and the multi-touch trackpad have been amazing advantages of the Mac as well.
I am pulling these out of my 4$$ but all of the normal things you could get a bad review over would apply. A portfolio company's respected founders (basically, your client/customer) saying that a partner was difficult to work with, making poor suggestions, wasting time with questions they could get answers for elsewhere, or embarrassing them in meetings with important contacts, etc. Another partner saying that you are difficult to get along with, argumentative, do not do proper research, miss glaring information that demonstrates high risk in an investment, and so on.

Basically, doing a shitty job, being difficult to work with, ruining the firm's reputation, and/or making very bad investment decisions would be good ways to get a bad review.
I totally understand :-) I actually agree with you.

The cool part is, I can keep building on top of the repetitive routine, and these additions are the variation for me. The hour of coding before the gym (and getting up an hour earlier in order to do it) was a recent addition, and took some time to achieve as a habitual thing. That's what keeps it interesting and exciting. I don't succeed right away with these additions, they take time. However, the power of habits is when they are actually habitual (and are good habits) and you don't use energy and willpower to accomplish them - that's what I tried to focus on here.
You're right, when talking about a primitive type in the programming sense, something either is primitive or it isn't.

I took this phrase to mean that the prototype construct is "one step down on the composite type hierarchy" from what is needed to emulate as a Java-style class.

Rather, its a good building block but the necessary boilerplate code makes it "too basic" for that purpose. Therefor this developer has created a type further up the composite type hierarchy (or further away from the primitives) to accomplish his goal.

I don't think he's trying to suggest any deficiency in the expressiveness or capability of the prototype construct (he's obviously quite familiar with it to create this language). This is simply a tool for people who aren't familiar with (or don't make use of) that aspect of Javascript to be productive by utilising a more brief, or possibly more familiar (ie Java) syntax.

Give it up... what is your problem? Plain English... not
banned. Stop lying, then read the link, please... (
http://www.naturalnews.com/010038.html )

They say don't feed the trolls, yet here I am... Look, I'm giving this one last shot where most other people wouldn't, because you're a human being and I believe all human beings deserve to know the world as it really is. As your own HN profile says, "Every single child is entitled to a life full of possibilities."

I'm going to do what you haven't thus far, and provide hard evidence of my claims.

Point of evidence #1: the quoted post above, complete with "[dead]" at the end.

Point of evidence #2: this image, showing your [dead] posts: http://imgur.com/2Fkm6

Point of evidence #3: background information related to the art of the hellban: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellbanning

Now, for your link, and the sort of hard evidence you would need to provide: I read through it and found the typical structure of an article promoting something unscientific to an uninformed audience. There's a bit of historic background provided to give an air of authority and authenticity, followed by non-sequiturs (e.g. the safety of topical silver use does not logically imply that silver is safe to ingest). Finally, there are scattered quotes from various people with abbreviations after their names. That is not how a rigorous scientific process works.

In science, reputation and storytelling are irrelevant -- only the double-blind studied, independently reproduced data truly matters. Reputation is merely an indicator of those scientists who are known to have conducted scientifically sound experiments in the past.

Absent the results from clinical trials (or at least a solid argument from biological first principles) showing 1. why it's okay to put silver in your body where it will never, ever leave and 2. why silver is better than antibiotics that the body will actually metabolize, telling people to ingest it is scarcely different from telling people to ingest any other poison.

Now, I'm giving you some very easy and entertaining homework. Your assignment is to read The Relativity of Wrong (http://chem.tufts.edu/AnswersInScience/RelativityofWrong.htm), a nonfiction story I discovered here on HN a long time ago, that serves as an excellent introduction to how science really works (and thus the laws of the universe).

I will no longer be following this thread, so I bid you good luck and farewell.
Berner was looking at RPC as his dayjob to give control commands to machines. What Berner did, was to use the Interface Builder's precursor on the NeXT he got as a toy to put a gopher-like link into the text properties field, where the font boldness, size ...and colour and underline were. This was quite graphical programming, and not world-wide at the time (NeXT was an expensive toy). Hardly an innovation. And not everybody was allowed to toy around -- certainly not western equivalents.

Nobody has really heard of Groff, Pellow, Nielsen and the rest, who made it work multiplatform, over the command-line, etc. ie. world-wide. Nobody was astonished by them back then, because what they were doing was nothing special: several such systems existed already both commercial and academic. They were the cheap students, whose work allowed it to be opened up and given away without charge. WWW grew like it did because of two reasons: it was free of charge, because it was actually made by cheap and disposable students, and the then changing climate of the deregulation of the internet, of which some companies ie. Vermeer, Netscape could take early advantage of.

CERN likes cheap students' work, and sell if off as stellar examples of innovation by CERN. Read Facts and Mysteries in Elementary Particle Physics by Veltman if you feel to downvote this because of CERN.

Is nlpTools of interest to the SW development community? How could I raise funds for its continuity?
Yes, I will agree that "barefoot" running is better on your knees than with standard running shoes- also running with proper form would be, but alas- almost no recreational runner will do either of these things, and it is especially hard to do so on typical running paths (such as, you know, roads).

Given the constraints of what we're given, biking is far better for your overall health than running.
It IS the user's problem as he will be forced to use MS Office for most documents where there are other people involved.

Content was really very informative. From http://www.indiagiftservices.com
The economy like many complex living organism in nature. There are periods of growth, steady state and decline. The notion that organism that is not growing is failure and unnatural is just ignorant. Society should embrace periods of steady state and decline as periods of rest and recuperation,because deprivation and hunger can be good catalyst,for the next growth spurt. Actually during prosperous times people tend to be wasteful and complacent. So stop rationalizing and just accept this as the temporary new norm and recultivate the industriousness along with creativity to foster growth again.

Preface
Man- the dominant being of the universe now thinks of himself with inconsequential conceit that he stands on the peak of the modern civilization. The civilization with which now man shows his pride, is it really a civilization? My view is, positively not. It is not a civilization at all. It is nothing else but just a soulless, conscienceless mechanical advancement.

The number of people obsessed with the Red Bull is ridiculous. It's 110 calories and 80mg caffeine. A cup of coffees (clasically) is around 150mg caffeine, and a Starbucks Tall Drip is around 240mg. Cycling hard will burn around 600 calories per hour. Lifting hard will burn around the same.

Caffeine is the most effective performance enhancing drug that's legal in all senses (i.e. not even banned by any sanctioning body). I've personally performed all sorts of intense exercise on it. It both increases energy levels and ability to recruit muscles. The only thing I'd be cautious about is mixing caffeine with other stimulants, such as DMAA (as found in Jack3d), ephedra/ephedrine, or ma huang. I would not do intense cardio on caffeine + stimulants, and I would wear a heartrate monitor for other exercise until you're familiar with their effects.

You're spreading FUD. Red Bull, which is caffeine and B vitamins, is nothing at all like Adderall. Caffeine is a very safe performance-enhancing drug.
As a developer I haven't hit the point where I can have too many cores. When I can run three or six VMs (linux server), each allocated 2 cores (hyperthreaded ones are ok) and at least 1GB RAM each, while simultaneously abusing my browser with too many tabs, with cycles to spare for big desktop apps (Gimp, LibreOffice, etc), then I won't care so much about cores anymore.

That's possible on high-end machines, but I'm looking forward to mid-level laptops being able to do that too.

I do agree that a lot of performance will come from better coding, though. I can see that in my Linksys WRT54GL router, which is 2004 hardware that runs better than most everything else available today, thanks in large part to 8 years of open source software evolution in the firmware.

When software has time to evolve and mature on stable hardware, it's really cool to see the performance that can be weened out of even old hardware.

Disrupting Hypnotherapy: My Vision for Hypnotizr
Interesting. Too bad the 'specifications' tab is so anaemic - I'm curious how this stacks up against e.g. a Mac mini, or other mini computers.

edit: Amazon has a lot more info: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-XE300M22-A01US-Series-3-Chrome...

edit the second: it seems pretty competitive with a Mac mini, actually. 1.9ghz Celeron instead of 2.3 i5, same RAM, and same graphics card. The 16gb SSD vs 500gb HDD might make the Chromebox feel snappier, though. And at $329 vs $599, it's quite a bit cheaper.
Now don't leave your email inbox to do customer support.
I don't get it. My reading is that MS will sign Linux distros for a lifetime fee of $100 per vendor. That doesn't sound like MS is going to be living high off the hog from those proceeds, it sounds like a reasonable fee to prevent abuse of the system.

Also, as far as I can tell a user (or an OEM) can just go into their UEFI settings and turn off secure boot, then install and boot completely unsigned anything.

This doesn't seem like the end of the world to me.

You have to bike twice as long to get the same benefit as jogging.

Around here, biking is too damn dangerous. Narrow, twisty roads.

Try answering the question "What does it do?" by reading the copy on the website. Almost impossible. The questions I wanted to know were: Will VLC run on this? Can I download stuff and put on a hard drive? The website does not seem to indicate this.
Very impressive stuff. For what it's worth, I played around with the new audio reCAPTCHA a bit.

- I heard 50+ distinct words, plus the numbers 1-9
- Numbers are not written out anymore (e.g. "nine" does not work, it must be "9")
- You must get 9 out of 10 words correct to complete the CAPTCHA

So they're still working with a very small dictionary of words, and with a little practice it's not hard to nail these consistently (as a human). The extra noise makes it a little more difficult to split the samples, but that's a solvable problem. I bet they can re-break it with their existing program and not too much additional effort to retrain the system.

I'd guess everything the Chromebooks can do. Which essentially means: run Chrome. They're meant to be (rather exclusively) always-connected devices, and not for heavy offline use. And you can run VLC if/when they target NaCl.

That said, I don't have a Chromebook, and haven't watched the changes for a while. Anyone have a link or something handy for what they're up to lately?
Managers make decisions that directly affect multiple people and thus a larger part of a company (the entire company, for a CEO). Like it or not, that means that the value of a manager who makes good decisions is greater than that of an equally skilled person who does good non-managerial work.

Note that this is perfectly compatible with the view of managers as faciliators - if a team of developers can't work effectively because they lack clear requirements or crucial hardware, then the manager who cuts through red tape to get them that hardware and direct access to a customer stakeholder is more valuable to the project than any of the developers.

Of course the crux is that a manager who makes bad decisions is equally more damaging to a company than anyone doing bad non-managerial work, and there is good reason to doubt whether there really is a strong correspondence between the quality of people' decisions and their prospects of becoming (and being promoted as) managers.
I think it's a good choice in india. We have customers who bought our software but first they need a computer to use it. $329 is not cheap but there's the 'google' brand to it, so to customers 'we are not recommending something bad'. Wonder how much will it cost in india though.

I have a son that was born prematurely at 7 months and the doctors weren't too optimistic about his chances of survival or about his long-term health. And we've had problems with him, like manifestations of Lyle's syndrome. He's fine and healthy now, but I'm afraid the battle ain't over.

Thank you. I agree with everything you said and I understand nutrition and exercise should be default. Yes, 'hacking your brain' is a little vague :) I'm looking for stimulants (other than coffee) so I can keep focused when working long hours and dealing with regular multiple timezones. I'm in China at the moment and taking Oxiracetam (their version of Piracetam) but the effects are limited, if not just placebo as you suggest. I usually take Ritalin when in the UK and this has the desired effect, but I don't take it with me when abroad.

How does Google manage to only have one retailer who actually sells the device in Europe. It feels as if every time they [Google] introduce something new and cool (phone, computer ...) it is only available for a selected few. Then when we all forgot about it they add a few more retailers.
