Running Solr with Jetty on Jelastic
Here’s a detailed instruction on how to deploy Apache Solr into Jelastic cloud, written by our friend and customer Luca Cavanna. You can read the original post here.
Britain? Our 'justice' system will extradite anyone (to the US) without blinking an eyelid. To our legal system & government staying on good terms with the US is FAR more important than the rights of the people. The tvshack case is a perfect example of this, and it's terribly sad.

Hurrah for NZ though - excellent comments from the judge regarding the flakey-ness of the FBI's case. I expect this might me a major turning point if, as Dotcom has previously stated, the FBI do in fact have very little evidence (and, as I expect, are simply working for their hollywood based overlords).
I would not pay anything because I don't mind the ads.
You're totally right - I've corrected that. My apologies.
>They are willing to kill a product that takes very little time to maintain and it generates $18k/month in profit.

This. I didn't and still don't understand why they want to kill it.
$1.00
$10.00
$100.00
Of course, they didn't break the law (or they would've been trialed in a court, not merely yanked from the App Store), they broke App Store rules and Apple had every right to yank them. I disagree with a lot of Apple's practices regarding the App Store rejections, but no company in the world would've tolerated such thing (and rightly so).
Seriously, one of the best stories I have read on the web. Thank you for sharing this with us all...and hoping for better news in the future!
reminds me of Bob Jenkins' (of hash function fame) comments on his resume [1]:

IBM (1988) ... The existing code tended to shrink when I edited it. I wrote a total of minus 5000 lines of code that summer.

Oracle (1989-2006) Oracle's code (C and PL/SQL) is very good. It usually didn't shrink when I edited it.

I think the biggest improvement you can do is to create a 3 part footer with a teaser (mini-intro) into the 3 case studies. This would provide a very tangible benefit that is visible on every page. I would probably remove the case study link from the main menu.

Part of the benefit from this is it provides something on the blog side, where there is literally no calls to action or conversion.

Here is a hint. Go to hubspot's blog. Notice how they have a call to action on the bottom of every single post? It seems like a waste to have someone read something and have no way to convert.

The social set-up is pretty weak too. If you are not going to tweet your own posts - why should anyone else?
Tim Cook On Apple’s Relationship With Facebook, “Stay Tuned”
True, however the phone wiretapping rates are subject of debate as well.

Phone wiretapping is simply one way a country can decide on by which criminal activities should be traced. Other countries do so in different ways, and comparing them, especially in different jurisdictions is not straightforward.

For civilians that do not exercise criminal activities, wiretapping will be less of an influence on their lives as ACTA or non-net-neutrality would be. On average.

This can't be true for all startups. Some ideas are worth being confidential. Yeah I know execution matters most, but still idea can be what they are excited about.

Until recently, this was the number one reason keeping me off of Linux. (The nightmare of recompiling PHP just to get support for specific extensions) Fortunately with the popularity of package managers, I rarely run into a project I can't build from source.
My solution step 1: check seat position. Is the chair high enough, too high, same with Display, are my shoulders relaxed, are my wrists straight

My solution step 2: Apple external keyboard with low key action

My solution step 3: Logitech MX revolution: gets rid of mouse wheel action, which cause for me the most significant wrist problems - more or less solved the problem

My solution step 4: Apple magic trackpad.

Maybe don't work too long without a longer break. The company gets all the benefits while you get into the hospital, eventually.

Wrist problems did not come back since three years now.
How To Paint Wicker Furniture
A month ago I finished a project for university, involving Node.js - nothing more. At the beginning, I've started with Node.js, mongoDB, socket.io. express and connect. Half way through the project, I realized I would never be able to deliver in time. So I started to cut out technologies... first mongoDB, socket.io, express, and in the end, even connect. Even dealing with Node alone, I had a hard time finishing my project... but I did. I still got quite a good grade because in contrast to my fellow students, I was able to deliver.

Best b Schools
To simplify your B-school selection we have categorized India's top B- schools into eight clusters. The list of B-school in India can go on forever, however, we have tried to limit our classification to the better and more known B-schools.
Of course you could probably write an s-expression serialization of XML as a macro, and then you could start writing things like:

(html
(head (title "My page")
(script :type "text/javascript" :src "/static/page.js"))
(body (p "Stuff")))

Actually for a while I had a JS tool which I was using called "build.js" which would just build DOM components like this. (It was therefore JSON-serializable too, but I never really had an occasion to use that.)

There is something nice about HTML which is a bit lost here: HTML (and LaTeX for that matter) allow unquoted text, with fewer escape characters. They are markup languages, which s-expressions crucially lack. (On the other hand, XML & family lack the ability of Lisps to make the first token anything other than a symbol.) There was briefly a plot called NML / Enamel and some others -- DTML and TML I believe -- which would instead write:

<html |
<head | <title | My page >
<script <type|text/javascript> <src|/static/page.js>>>
<body | <p | Stuff>>>

This is actually an emulation of a C-type syntax with a Lisp-type semantics: the idea is that you have in some sense two syntactically different channels into your expressions, one which comes before the pipe character | and one that comes after. The stuff that comes after is allowed to be marked-up text; the stuff that comes before is some sort of node list, and perhaps has certain conventions (one could imagine instead using a Clojure-style `:type "text/javascript"`, which would limit you to what XML attributes can do -- short text only, symbolic keywords).

That is, one could hypothetically rewrite this in some C-ish syntax which would look like:

html {
head { title { My page }
script(type {text/javascript} src {/static/page.js}) {}}
body { p { Stuff }}}

and again, if you wanted to limit yourself to XML, the parens above could then say instead `type: "text/javascript" src: "/static/page.js"` but it doesn't have to be that way.

Some crazy ideas for anyone building a new language to think about.

If you do end up having to wrestle with the law I think you're still better off having it happen in the states. For as many horror stories as you hear there is far more fairly doled out justice. This kind of stuff is shocking to hear about because it's not the norm.
It took me a while to realize what exactly it was that disturbed me about your question. I don't have any problems with talking about euthanasia, but the casualness with which you mention it shocks me.

Buy Deodorants Online Indo-German or Not You Stand to Make a Killing 
The moment you think of fragrances the first thing that comes to your mind is deodorants only. Deodorants are those substances (many countries recognize deodorants) as part of their cosmetics products only) that are able to influence directly the body odour emanating because of perspiration or those created by bacteria.
I sort of like this finger pointing and "Yeah? Well you're no better..." approach to international diplomacy. You never know, it might end up in a round of ethical one-upmanship that goes beyond mere words. Not that I'm holding my breath.
To be completely honest, I would expect no less from Java or python within the same major release, namely for the language and the interpreter to "just work"

I'd expect it too. Sadly my expectations are often not met :-)

Can you help me understand why Perl is so special or outstanding in that regard? Maybe just the very test-aware community?

I think it's a combination of the test-aware community - and the infrastructure that community has built up.

Little things like having the default behaviour of all the build/install tools be "run all the tests and only install if they all pass", rather than having running tests be optional.

Or take cpantesters.org for example.

For those who don't know cpantesters is basically a distributed continual-integration environment for all of CPAN. Any time anybody releases something to CPAN it gets downloaded and compiled on dozens of OS/perl combinations, and the automated tests run.

If I release a module on CPAN and it doesn't work on some obscure OS/perl combination I'll likely get an automated e-mail in a matter of hours. The results of those tests are public - so anybody can easily see what versions of what modules work on what platforms. You'll see them up right next to the module in all the CPAN search tools. So folk can easily understand where they'll be problems, and people with access to that platform can more easily find and patch problematic code.

So anybody who releases anything to CPAN gets a fantastic multi-platform CI tool for free.

And a discussion forum (http://cpanforum.com/). And a bug/issue tracker (https://rt.cpan.org). And a review platform (http://cpanratings.perl.org/). And automated "quality" metrics (http://cpants.charsbar.org/) and .... well... I could go on. All of them have public data or API routes so they very quickly get integrated into tools like https://metacpan.org and http://search.cpan.org/.

The perl community has done a stirling job taking the whole small-pieces-loosely-joined philosophy onto their community module distribution / testing infrastructure.

Because of the transparency and integration "bad" modules are obvious, and tend to get quickly fixed or deprecated. At the very least it's very easy to identify problematic areas and work around them.
Linux n00bs: Anatomy of a troubleshooting session
A bit off-topic, but some of the Q&A answers are missing spaces after dots.
The queen is not the overlord of the UK, Parliament which is elected by the people, has supreme power, and has the ability to depose the monarch (cf. Glorious Revolution).

Although she "signs laws", it's a rubberstamp approval at that point. The monarch has to sign any law that Parliament makes (there have been wars over this).

The UK/England has been party to international treaties for thousands of years. The EU is not something new and different and there is no reason to call it "treasonous" or "breaking the coronation oath", unless you just don't like the EU and you want to pretend the whole thing doesn't apply.
Charles Taylor Sentenced to 50 Years by ICC
Yes, but what percentage of email is spam? Probably higher than 40%. Gmail accounts are much easier to setup than facebook accounts (which require email accounts).
You can always find cases of stupid judicial decisions in the UK, like someone convicted for a tweet, or the very harsh punitative sentances given out after the recent riots.
Polanski is also a different kettle of fish compared to Assange. Polanski has various friends in high places. Assange has few.

Also, Assange managed to piss off almost every single branch of the US government. Rather than merely shooting himself in the foot, he blew his entire leg off with a shotgun.

Not to say what he was trying to achieve wasn't noble. In my personal opinion state corruption still needs to be exposed, even if that state is the United States. However, the line he walks is a very very fine one. The US was quite happy with him exposing corruption in other nations, regardless of the human cost, but not their own it appears.

At the end of the day, although the backyard he shat in wasn't his own, it just happened to belong to a damn big nasty rottweiler.
If you go the weight route, make sure you don't just train grip strength (wrist flexors) but also balance a bit with wrist extensor exercises or you'll just move the pain around. It can be as simple as wrapping a rubberband around your fingertips and expanding your hand a few times.

I found this balance issue important when I started working on my deadlift and my grip got a bit out of control. Also, if you have wrist problems, you might consider avoiding alternated grip deadlifts and just pulling hook grip.

Even though this is hardly HN material, there's some kind of hackerish mindset about reacting to accusations by doing an in-depth "pot, kettle, black" report about the accuser, so I upvoted this.

For those of us who keep track of US news, it's pretty obvious that the human rights situation there is "variable", to say the least. You rarely hear about people being wrongly killed by the police in Europe, whereas in the US it appears to be relatively frequent. As for freedom... let's not go there. The easily manipulated US government is probably the single most important political force for evil in the fight to protect our rights online.

Anyway, so, totally off-topic, but a smart approach from China...
This will seem really wack... however:

I saw some youtube videos of Dr Sarno [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_E._Sarno] and read some testimonials on his technique.

At that point I could change the pain in my wrists into a feeling of anxiety in my chest.

I then bought the book (this step isn't nessacary) - "The Mind Body Experience), and now when I get pain I can sort of concentrate on the area it happens and it will dissapear - it also helps to think of things that might be stressing me at the time.

His theory is along the lines that the mind tries to distract you from stress by making you get pain at the site of old injuries, or RSI etc.

I'm sure that it doesn't work exactly like he says it does, however after about 10 years of RSI I can pretty much control it by just concentrating on the area in pain, whic is pretty cool.

Still, this will probably sound pretty odd.. note: I don't ascribe to any other alternative medicines and am pretty sceptical in general.
Re: #4 - It's trying to be manipulative, when there's no need to be. I too was turned off by their presentation of the sale as well.

I am guessing they don't have a lot of experience selling off things, especially things they are attached to. It sounds like they really don't want to sell it, or at least not let it fall into a competitor's hands.

Ask HN: How do you use Twitter?
I never really got into Twitter.

On the one hand I feel like it's an enormous echo-chamber of re-tweets and mundane status updates.

On the other hand I feel like you can gather a lot of useful information in a compact way. It also seems to be a low-barrier way to connect with a lot of other people in your field, which might come in handy one day career-wise.

How do you use Twitter?
I found the only real solution is to eliminate the need to exert mechanical force. Thus, a combination of:

1. Dragon NaturallySpeaking, which works pretty well for text.

2. Zero force keyboard http://specialneedscomputers.ca/index.php?l=product_detail&#... for writing code.

3. Replacing the mouse with a trackpad.

Not just odd, but completely wrong. For data that doesn't add up to 100%, they should be using a bar chart or some other representation of data. Unfortunately, this is the sort of sloppiness that makes me wonder what other amateur mistakes might have been made in collating the data.
Lately I've been thinking on traveling around the world for a year after college (so late this year). I haven't thought it out yet, but it seems possible to have enough savings for about two months of life (for contingency) and then freelancing remotely two or three days a week to support myself for the year.

At least I think it should be possible for a 25 year old to travel the world on 2k euro a month ...

But if he absolutely just can't write code without an IDE, I would doubt his claims of knowing the language.

Would you be productive in QED http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QED_(text_editor) ? Should I doubt your coding skills because of that?

Knowledge of tools != Knowledge of a programming language.

Agreed. But you seem to be saying that people who code well with an IDE, and can't code well with a more vanilla text editor, means that they don't know the language. This is a tool knowledge issue - not a language knowledge issue.

Some people are good at coding, and others are bad at coding. IDE/editor choice has little to do with it. Lines like "Most Java programmers can't write simple apps without the help of an IDE" are just false - and have nothing to do with whether the developer is any good or not.

Twenty years ago people were saying the same thing about lazy developers who use screen based editors instead of line based ones. I'm sure that twenty years before that folk were complaining about folk who use terminals instead of punched cards as god intended :-)
Europe as a whole has a larger population than the US, but the US is more homogenous in its culture/language, so your point holds.

That's not correct; some of us have noticed that by population Europe is in fact larger than the US. Wikipedia says 731 million (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Europe#Total_po...) although that draws the line further east than some might; the EU covers just over 500 million (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_European_Un...). So you'd expect the occurrences per 1K pop to happen less frequently in the US.
I'd have more respect for her if she was disposed of after standing up for people of her country.

The Monarch of the UK does not take an oath to defend the people of the UK per se. They only swear to govern the people.

However the monarch must swear to maintain the offical state religion, the Church of England. Would you like if the Queen, upon reading her coronation oath again, were to be strict about that? Goodbye equality law, all other religions are now banned (this used to be the case), no Catholics or Jews allowed to be MPs (this used to be the case), etc. No sane person wants that. Forget about the Queen, she has no power.
I don't follow?

It's a shame that there isn't a way to tentatively pass the status code (i.e. '250: This is probably OK') then alter it in later chunks should exceptions occur. Or at least there isn't a way to do that which I know of.

If you are using an epsilon-greedy approach (or something similar), then I believe that the data collected during the exploration portion - (the random calls) are open, albeit with less power due to reduced sample size, to standard hypothesis testing.
Think of it this way, you might normally run your experiment on a subset of your traffic (population) - so only 20%, with the rest (80%) getting the current experience. With the e-greedy type of approach you are just swapping the 'current experience' with the maximum estimated experience, but that other 20% is still a random draw.
Last- minute Tenerife: eiland vol tegenstellingen - Richting Vakantie
This is probably an unpopular opinion for some of the HN population, but I wish that Assange would be extradited to Sweden. He's appealing extradition on technical grounds, and it's about time he went to Sweden and faced the judicial system there. All of the current proceedings are a sideshow which have nothing to do with the things he'd accused of.

He's accused of sexual offenses in Sweden, we have a working system of arrest warrants across Europe. Let's get on with it.
