You can go the RTOS route, but each card looks like a 50-core, 200-thread machine with 8 GB of GDDR5 memory and can comfortably run a Linux or *BSD stack.

In fact, I'd love to see developers using them as their personal machines (Intel would probably have to make ATX motherboards with it) so that more and more software makes use of the more and more available threads on our own machines. An entry-level laptop these days looks like 8 processors to the OS and this number will only go up.
Hmmm. So is Windows 8 a horse? Or a duck?

I like Metro quite a bit.

Alas, I can't suspend disbelief and trust that this time Microsoft will remain committed to their latest greatest new thing, not lose interest and wander off in a few years, and not screw all the developers who bought into the latest pyramid scheme.

I think a lot of other people like Metro too.

I just attended an designer graduate student thesis project gallery exhibit whatever. 2/3rds of the UIs were strongly Metro-esque. Some very cool designs. I have no doubt Metro will spawn copycats.

I assume from the currency that you're in the UK like me. In that case, it sounds like your current hosting is on the expensive side, unless perhaps you have particularly high-spec servers or transfer very large amounts of data that you didn't mention before.

FWIW, I suggest spending a few minutes looking up what a couple of other hosting services would charge you for a similar set-up today, assuming you haven't done so lately. I'd be a bit surprised if you couldn't save a substantial amount of money each month for a relatively simple set-up like the one you described.
I'd be surprised if it's non-deterministic, so yes.

In some (many? most?) countries you are legally required to pay yourself at least the minimum wage. Even if you are the sole proprietor and sole employee in the business.

Minimum wage might not be enough to "live" on, but it should be enough to survive on.

Or maybe this is a recent-ish development where I live because people were using small businesses to avoid paying taxes, retirement funds and so on. Or maybe the government has just recently-ish started really clamping down on not paying yourself a minimum wage. Not really sure about the specifics.

If you're working with a small company, usually the ad hoc systems are crufty, legacy systems that some 'genius' developed in the 90s but aren't very useful.

If you're working in a larger company, that platform is probably purpose-built and domain specific - health information management, for example, has a lot of proprietary languages but they serve a purpose and tend to be widely adopted.

Ask HN: Comparison of Data Structures with their Advantages and Disadvantages?
Does anybody know any resource that compares various data structures?
that seems futile. unless you're a serious power user you're not going to keep track of who the good/bad moderators are. i guess everyone could go back to their closed questions and see who closed them? although it usually takes a few votes and i'm not sure if you can even see who the close votes came from. I couldn't agree more that moderators on SO are awful, but not going to spend time tracking them down and down voting in hopes this will somehow change their behavior. All of my slightly subjective questions got closed, and in frustration i'd see similar types of questions get up to hundreds or thousands of points. What is this subjective rule anyway? why do they have to be closed? can't users just read the question and decide if they want to move on? if a question is getting up voted, who cares how subjective it is? it's obviously liked by some people.

"In English, a verb cannot be substituted with a noun"

I beg to differ. You should Google that.
Yeah, I probably overstated my case - I think some people did find their situation rather improved. My wife's 3G never got any better, unfortunately :-/.

What really annoyed me with the situation was that they didn't release a good way (afaik) to downgrade your OS back if you didn't have a good backup. I expect that from a commodity manufacturer, but given Apple's premium reputation I tend to expect a quality response when they screw up.

That said, I still buy their stuff, so maybe that's why they don't care ;)
“I think I better play it for you,” is what she claimed the PR representative said. That is incredibly condescending, bad assumption notwithstanding. If I was a female gamer I would find that insulting, even if I was clueless. The assumption is not really the problem, the problem is the condescending and insulting attitude that the author ran into again and again. I would expect a PR rep for a gaming company to be more professional and be a better communicator. That is his job.

"Would you like me to give you a tour of the game?"

"Do you want me to drive, or just point things out as you go?"

"Do you have much experience with first person shooters?"

"It looks like you know what you are doing. Is there anything you would like to know about the game?"

All those are better ways he could have started the conversation. They do not assume anything, they make it easy for her to let him know her level of experience, and they are not insulting or condescending.

I understand the "meta is murder" argument, and it's a tough and deadly problem. But I don't think splitting the meta into a separate site is the answer. You end up with a very strange self selection problem, where the "meta" community isn't very representative of the community at all.

Looks awesome! I'm curious, there seem to be quite a few transactional mail services on the come-up these days, each with their own little bit of special sauce (SendGrid, Amazon SES, PostMark, et al).

If I were evaluating Mandrill in addition to those services, what are the main things I should focus on that really sets Mandrill apart from those other providers?
This is completely and totally untrue. You get tons of support living as a male when you encounter life problems. People readily sympathize with men when they describe issues in their life and a lot of discussion and depiction about bad situations revolves around male perspective.

How else could a tread about a woman's experience in gaming journalism turn into a discussion about how oppressed you are as a man? This very thread is an example of how male perspective dominates discussions, even about people who don't identify as male.

Nothing that ECOSOC (and by extension UNDG and ITU) pushes forth is legally binding and even if this particular trend gains momentum the USFG can always bargain with its wallet (assuming they aren't complicit).

Plenty of crazy drafts get passed around in the UN all the time, but the beauty of it all is that no entity is forced to change. Instead you get plenty of gawking and reprimanding that doesn't have any enforcement. The noteworthy exception is the SC, but its permanent members can veto anything that they disagree with.

Speaking only to the middle part of my experience with modest research creeping up in significance, I would say that I see that sometimes but not regularly. Given, as you say, the tenure publishing requirements, I feel that I often see a flood of similar studies after a "proof of concept" that actually helps to flesh out the issue.
"The system behind the app should be both. "

POS systems are complex and need to have very low latency. On top of that, there are many different types of registers that can be used. On top of that, since you are dealing with the everyday transactions of a business, in order to ship your product you need to be damn sure it works as expected. This is going to lead to very long and expensive development times.

The investment for the stores that would likely be excited to be apart of this is too high for those stores. That software isn't free when they need to get new hardware to support all of the systems that need to integrated so that they can be apart of the search.
Ask HN: Leasing servers w/AWS Direct Connect?
Last year, Amazon rolled out AWS Direct Connect, which lets you connect your physical servers via a low-latency network pipe directly to AWS. This seems a perfect solution for building a hybrid cloud - e.g. if your database server needs more horsepower than Postgres-on-EC2 can yield. But the Direct Connect marketing is (naturally) geared toward enterprises with a presence at Equinix, Level 3, etc.

It seems to me that there must be resellers with existing cages at these data centers where I could rent a single unmanaged server. But, of course, resellers don't tend to advertise which data center they're colo'd in.

How can I go about finding Direct Connect-capable, unmanaged server resellers? I'm looking specifically at US-East in Northern VA.

Disagree completely. EDIT: it's an important distinction to make, and when you say "profitable since day one" obvoiusly nobody expects that you made seventeen thousand dollars in sales your first day. Maybe there is a better word for it (scantily profitable over the direct-but-not-opportunity-costs since day 1?) but if it's something you can claim, go ahead and do so for contextualization. This is why:

There's a whole type of startup (call it type "1" whereas article is about type "2"), which is more traditional, and the only possible model in many sectors such as hotels, restaurants, retail, etcetcetc, that is based on launching a business (as opposed to 'bootstrapping') from sizeable funds - often 20k-50k or more - and not even attempting to become profitable within 3-5 months, during which you expect to continue to pay out one or two thousand on office rental space, equipment, hosting, whatever. An optimistic plan is to scratch the surface of breaking even around the one year mark.

When someone is, and has been, "profitable" since day one, ("type 2") this is in stark contrast to this model. This is the "in our first few months we spent three-fifty on hosting while servicing our five paying customers and working hard coding and developing so we can grow our customer base and make our equity worth enough to sell some of it and raise a round, or at least have enough money coming in to grow organically and bootstrap to sizeable revenues."

There's nothing wrong with either of the two models. It's also probably the most important fact you need to know to contextualize a conversation about your business. And the type 2 business that has paying customers but can't even meet it's hosting bills is fundamentally broken. Hell, I can do that just by hosting up to five hundred gigabytes of files per person for five dollars per decade.

If you're not broken - and running this type of model - go ahead and boast. And if boasting isn't enough, keep growing.

I was under the impression that, in recent years, there had been a small but significant surge of interest in the possibility of epigenetic inheritance, evidence for which had been found in a few studies on chickens, rats and plants. This article seems to explicitly states that no such thing is currently recognized.

Have I been deviated by fringe neo-Lamarckist press releases, are they simply too recent and in need of consolidation, or did Pinker avoid mentioning them for the sake of clarity and fidelity to the most safe, "gcd" theory?

We're trying to make Mandrill a stable email platform for all uses, so in that way we're similar to SendGrid. Where we're really trying to focus isn't so much in just the delivery of the email, though we do have a ton of experience doing that well.

Mandrill is a product that is trying to make your application-driven emails as easily tracked, tested, and understood as the bulk email you'd send using MailChimp. It's still early days for the product and we're still iterating rapidly, but that's where we're trying to get.

We're also integrated with MailChimp itself. We've got a big discount for paid MailChimp users that want to use Mandrill, and you can share templates between Mandrill and MailChimp easily. We'll be integrating more deeply in the future - really trying to make a one-stop shop for email-related needs for businesses.

Not really. If you're not accounting for your own time, then almost any startup can be 'profitable.'

This post was a real eye-opener for me, having considered my last business 'profitable' over the course of two years, I realize that it was only just barely so, and only for the last 3-6 months.
From what I've heard, it's frequently a profit issue. Many restaurants are operating on very thin profit margins per-table, and having to give OpenTable a cut of an entire reservation makes it even worse.

If you've ever read an article or blog post where someone is talking about how they built their business and said something about being profitable at some x point in time, then they proceed to NOT describe what they exactly mean, then I just end up disregarding the whole thing because I can't take what they say at face value.

Life is full of generalisations, do you expect every post made by every person, every day, on every blog, to contain every possible excruciating detail about every super tiny little aspect of exactly what they did, how they did it, when they did it? You're only short-changing yourself if you reject every communication from someone who doesn't happen to share your obsession with pedantry and trivia.

"I launched a startup today. First, I went to the bathroom, then read an article in Entrepreneur, then pushed the site code to production, but had to back that out because the db config was wrong, so we did another push, then we brought the site up... and we waited 7.323212 minutes before submitting a "Show HN" to HN, then waited 19.11111111 seconds for the first hit to our site...

and that's how we made $400.00 dollars on day one, which is way more than the $230.00 it cost to run the site, but since that doesn't include the cost of our own salaries, our startup isn't quite profitable yet. Check back tomorrow for the next exciting installment! Same bat time, same bat channel."
