Why can't you send the entire file?

Because your LAN connection is probably 1000Mbps and your internet connection is likely <5Mpbs. Or the receiving sides internet connection is 2Mbps. Your computer only sees 1000Mbps and would dump a 1tb file out at line rate. Then it would ask 'what pieces are missing?' And have to send 99% of the file again. Even worse if multiple people are trying to send to the same recipient.

So instead we ask the receiving side how big its buffer is and only send that much before awaiting a response (in many cases more than 10 at a time). If there is network congestion that response will take longer automatically slowing the transmission rate. The problem is that TCP can't tell the difference between congestion latency and distance latency.
Building websites with science
Seconded. My son was playing basic educational games on my wife's iPhone from about 8 months. He's nearly two now and uses the iPad without an issue, switching apps, watching shows. He even knows how to open iPlayer and find his favourite BBC kids shows. Never ceases to amaze me.
I believe ww2 was facetiously pointing out that the father in this piece chose to introduce his kids to an arbitrary point in the abstraction chain under the premise that anything higher is hiding too much of the implementation.

That said, while you could try and have your 2 year old build ENIAC out of from-scratch vacuum tubes I doubt you'll have much luck - I'm pretty surprised at the degree of success the author had with text terminals at that age, to be honest. As the father of a nearly-2-year-old this definitely has my gears turning...
Peter Cappelli: Well, it doesn’t look like that’s true. The business degrees are now, by far, the most popular major, and that’s where people are getting jobs, so that’s pretty common.

Seriously? Everyone I knew with just a business degree ended up with a crap retail job. Most of the people in engineering seemed to go into the jobs the business majors wanted.

A significant issue is that nobody trains employees while compensating them fairly based on their aptitude. So the only option is for employees to bounce around to get new skills and better wages. Employers hate this and constantly complain about "employee loyalty", not recognizing that job hopping is the only real defense that an employee has to be fairly compensated.

Here is a fictional account that illustrates the point:

John Doe currently writes C++ and finds Company A with great benefits and excellent compensation, but they only hire experienced Python programmers. But across the street, Company B will hire C++ programmers and train them on Python. Company B doesn't pay nearly as well, and the benefits are also pretty poor in comparison to Company A.

Company B offers John a position, but at a below market salary for Python programmers. John would be taking a pay cut from what he makes as a C++ programmer, but he takes the job anyway.

Being a highly capable individual, after 1 year John is one of the top Python programmers in Company B. John meets some engineers from Company A at a local meetup, and they recruit him to come interview with Company A. John passes the interviews with flying colors and is offered 30% more salary at Company A than he currently makes at Company B. This is now more than John ever made as a C++ programmer so he gladly takes the job, after only staying at Company B for a year.

Similar events occur with many more employees from Company B as they all start getting poached by Company A. Company B creates a non-compete agreement with Company A to keep its programmers from leaving.

Company A now complains to Congress that it can't find enough workers and needs to hire more foreign workers to fill the gap. It gets more foreign workers, which it can then hire at lower salaries without having to poach talent from Company B. Over time, the executives at Company A realize the cost savings and start cutting salaries, raises, and benefits.

Engineers at both Company A and B now realize their wages are stagnating and they all start leaving for other opportunities. Executives at Company A and B start lobbying Congress more and complaining to the press about a talent shortage and their inability to find workers.

Actually Silvio was "forced" into politics by the demise of his protector, Bettino Craxi (who, incidentally, was instrumental in engineering Silvio's rise to riches). He was into bunga-bunga before, he just carried on despite his 70+ years.

His "billionaire behaviour" was more about buying or building outrageous McMansions around the country, which is typical of his original background (a property developer with shady links to the mafia).
The perfect UI for what? If you say "computer", I strongly disagree, because a computer is a very general description for a variety of different machines.

Secondly, when we're talking about learning, using a command line will probably (definitely?) stimulate reasoning and abstract thinking, whereas you can emulate the effect of a touch screen with a door bell.

Addendum: Of course, you can emulate a keyboard with an iPad, but then what's the point? You even lose the tactile feedback a keyboard gives you.

I'd go out on a limb and claim that a kid will be better off by using actual water colors instead of a water color app on the iPad. In the same vein I think kids might have more important things to do at the age of three than typing commands into XMonad (not that it hurts if it's not the only thing they do).

In fact there are numerous studies that show the importance of practical and physical experiences for the development of abstract thinking, math etc. during early childhood.

Touch screens are fine if you only want to be a consumer of technology - rather than a creator of it.

You ever tried creating something on the iPad?
Shit Recruiters Say
Yeah, it is software. Software that I can manage just like the rest of our software and not have to worry about buying two devices, or convincing the user that I should be able to wipe the device that they bought, or trying to convince them that they shouldn't put sensitive data on a device that I have no way of controlling.

If they need to walk around holding a tablet in clipboard mode all day, then the ARM version would be the platform. Yes, the apps they run would have to be Metro apps, but Metro apps are worlds easier to write (and get deployed) than an iOS app. And I can still re-use that same code on the Pro version if need be.

To my eye, the Surface is what Apple would have made if they ever paid any real attention to enterprise users.
Can you share your app? I am also working on a HTML5 app for android and iOS. Always looking for a good app to let other know what is possible in webapps.

This is great and all, not a bad design really. But, as a business user and developer, they seriously need to focus on performance. Their api speed has been rated extremely low (I couldn't find the source, but it's out there), which has a negative effect on customers as well as account users.
> "Let's make the issue of women in tech a thing of the past"

Really? By creating a whole website around it? I think it'd be really good to sum up what issue you consider there to be with women in tech...

* Are there specific instances of sexism that occur?
* Are there "not enough" women in tech?
* Is tech uninteresting to most women?

You're suggesting there's an "issue" that needs solving, but I can't find any description on the website of what you consider that issue to be.

Sharing stories from startup women is great, although I'm not a fan of the reverse sexism.
Definitely. Good word recommendations, thanks!
Another upside of Titanium (I'm busy with an app using Titanium) is that it's open source. See something that's not implemented? Hack some Objective C (for the iPhone client) and build Titanium, done. So you're essentially free to do what you want.

However, what I've also noticed that is that doing an iPhone-only app in Titanium definitely didn't go faster than doing it in ObjC, I'd say about the same speed. But that's my experience, for the app I'm doing now.
I didn't think that the V8 engine was available on iOS in native apps.

It depends on the child and their environment, I would hazard a guess at saying that any child brought up in a home where parents are going to show them a unix terminal is definitely going to be literate enough already. Many others would be, too. (At 5, certainly - 3 I know less about..)
Yes this is something we talk about a lot and is one of the main issues we hope to help address.

Sweet story.
I cant help thinking whether all of these experiences would have seemed completely natural to your kids if they had been presented with a GUI from day one.

And if it would, would that make it easier to learn more, or if the excitement from switching to a GUI is really what they needed to tackle a steep learning curve.

Yardsale (S11) - Join us in taking on eBay, early technical hire
We’re a small team of passionate developers, designers, and product folks who are rethinking the way people buy and sell things locally. We're well funded (YC S11), our users love what we're building, and we do too.
We're looking for either a hardcore generalist or iOS specialist, which means you should:

- understand undocumented libraries and code bases in a day

- have a strong understanding of everything from optimized PostgreSQL to performance hacking UIWebViews and everything in between

- understand what it means to work in an intense startup environment

- learn quickly, we highly value raw intelligence

This position is our second technical hire, with a significant equity stake and a ton of room to influence the strategic direction of the company. The best fit will probably be someone hoping to be a technical founder some day. This isn't an easy role, but it's an amazing opportunity for the right person.

If you'd like to hear more send us your GitHub profile (or website/resume), and a quick note describing your coolest hack in a few sentences: team@getyardsale.com

> I didn’t want our boys to skip an entire phase of learning how their technology works

I don't think they're necessarily learning "how technology works", what they are learning is that they have control and can interact in different ways. I think that will be the most valuable thing in the future. Hacking is all about taking something and using it in different ways to "normal", teaching this concept from very early on (by introducing multiple interfaces) will be a great way to ensure in the future that they understand problems have multiple solutions and that technology works for them.

Even with that viewpoint, you could see this site as a positive and necessary thing. There really are girls who are deeply interested in STEM fields, but are discouraged by the apparent lack of female role models. In your view, they are biological outliers, I suppose... but surely they still deserve to have potential heroes highlighted for them?

After all, I assume you don't believe that the women who are successful and passionate about STEM fields are fighting their every instinct, right? So, even if you think they are biologically less likely interests for a woman, it'd be good to encourage the ones who are interested that they can be successes.
Help a poor girl get a proper education
Ou Have Our Attention, Mr. Ballmer…
Because of my name I get occasional contacts from journalists who write for magazines with names like "Latino Business" and "Technology California Latino". At first I felt the same as you, but one of the journalists explained it to me quite well:

The point is not to mindlessly cheerlead because a person has some attribute, whether it's two X chromosomes, or a last name ending in a vowel, etc. The point is to aggregate the accomplishments of people with that attribute, so they don't always feel so damned alone.

My wife was working at a large tech company on an automated translation system. She needed some more native Spanish speakers to help vet the output. The call went out to the regular employees, thousands of people, and she got nothing. Hindi, Chinese, OK. But no Spanish. She ended up going down to the cafeteria (!) and asking the workers there to help out.

Maybe, someday, a woman programmer will be as unremarkable as a woman lawyer. Until then, well, keep remarking on it.
What?! it isn't like that at all. I am pretty sure 95% of the programmers on this board use the command line everyday. It isn't "outdated". It is the best tool for a variety of programming related tasks. The average "user" isn't using the commandline today. However, the average "furniture user" doesn't need a set of wood working tools either.
Ask HN: Is there a site where people share bootstrapped stories?
Wondering if there is a site where people share their stories on how they bootstrapped their startups. It does not have to be about successful ones only. But the key is how they bootstrapped in initial phases and may be got funding later if at all. I would even pay for such information that includes:<br>
1. product building phase
2. product launch
3. customer aquisition/retaining
4. challenges,issues, lessons learned

May be if someone could build this where you could see the progress from Day 0 till present. That would be awesome. Of course, this requires time from the founders which is unlikely during their startup building phase but this information could be priceless.
Oh, come on! I love this guy because only he would do something this crazy (if you don't include Eric Clapton).

He may not always be right but it was amusing to watch Apotheker travel the earth to avoid a subpoena.
I think the whole reasoning behind exposing his children to the command line first and working from there is to give them a better understanding of the fundamentals before moving on to higher level UI. A window manager is the next logical step (as that's where computing actually went next). I agree, introducing a touch screen at a later point in time makes sense, but I think a window manager is both more practical and fits in the progression he's trying to achieve.

It's obviously not worth dwelling now, many years later, but I think you should've dismissed her comment based on her premise ("it's not like the photographer made the flower..."). It is a hard balance between pursuing what you think is art and appealing to others; but if a critic's reasoning is flawed, then you're justified in having an air of superiority.
"Now that Windows Phone has managed to clobber iOS when it comes to customization without losing its aesthetic charm, it’s time for Apple to step it up"

This sentence really leapt out at me. Are we looking at the same rainbow disaster screen shots? Windows phone looks like a unicorn puked on a phone.

I don't think it give any compelling reason on it's own for iOS to shift.

He's basically saying that the skills gap was not due to the company, but to unnaturally low compensation levels enforced by all companies in the sector. So all companies were creating their own "skills gap", because none of them wanted to pay more than the others for this set of skills.
I agree with your points, but I didn't think Gruber made that argument. He referenced others who commented on the subject, but he could have made his point without spending so much time comparing product announcement logistics of the two companies.

I think the shift to their own hardware, for this Surface product, is more about trying to achieve a user experience on par with Apple. It's obvious they haven't learned from Apple in that the user's experience includes first hearing/seeing the product on stage, immediate availability, etc. so the rollout isn't polished (far from it.)

I'm just not sure Microsoft is all-in on recognizing the full profitability shift where their software is essentially a loss leader. If Microsoft releases their own high-end desktop PC and phone with Windows 8 sometime in the next 12 months, then I'll believe they've made that mental leap.
I'm completely incapable of finding 'The Zone' in my office. Every time i've reached it, there are a few things in common. I know exactly what i'm doing. The full solution to the problem is in my head. When i'm "in the zone" i can twist that diagram around, jump to different parts etc, but its all in my head. More importantly its the only thing in my head. That's the most important part. That means I can't have an orange light in the corner of my eye, I can't be wearing shoes that are uncomfortable, I can't be hungry or thirsty. Anything and everything that would cause me to loose my brain state will cause it to break. Music (like the techno that is repetitive) is best for me, as after a while I can zone it out. However it blocks environmental sounds from entering.

You had me with you until you used the phrase "foreign workers." It's not their foreignness that makes them cheaper, it's that (in the U.S. at least) they're not able to easily change jobs and demand fair market wages, because their visa ties them to one employer.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Slightly off topic, but there is a general modification of IPR law that I've never seen discussed but that I think could affect some very interesting change: simply require that licenses are available to all on reasonable and equal terms. For every registered patent or copyright there would also be a license template, ready to fill in, with payment details, preferably machine readable...

You could apply that principle to copyright as well as patent rights. The consequence for copyright would be e.g. that large record labels would be forced to license their music to all online services, or not at all. If the government enforces a "monopoly" then why not also enforce an even playing field?
Perfect UI compared to what the OP proposed would be the perfect UI.

I am not sure that many kids 2-5 get that much out of the command line. They are still working on building their visual skills, exploring tangibles etc.

I am all for command lines if the kid get it, just think it's rare that they get that much out of it in that young age.
