> It's as if Major League Baseball suddenly opened up a second, parallel league that allows players to use performance-enhancing drugs and teams to use an ultra-precise pitching machine that throws nothing but 120mph fastballs to the corners of the plate. The games might end up as an unwatchable mess, but they'd likely attract plenty of fans and players who want to see just how far the "baseball" experience can go.

Sounds like a blurb to an awesome dystopian libertarian science fiction novel.

You're comparing a 15.4" mobile workstation with a 2.3GHz or 2.6GHz Ivy Bridge Core i7, 16GB of RAM, and a GT650...to a 13.3" notebook with an Intel IGP, a ULV Core i5, and a max of 8GB of RAM. They don't even come close to filling the same role. If you want to compare the MBP 15" to the Series 9 15", you're looking at a ULV Core i5 at 1.7GHz in the Series 9, still a maximum of 8GB of RAM, still a crappy Intel IGP, and it's less than a pound lighter (3.63 lb).

If you want to compare apples to apples, the 13" Air is a much more appropriate comparison to the original machine you were referring to. The Air has a faster processor (and an option to upgrade to an i7) and weighs almost exactly the same (2.96 pounds to 2.9--not 2.8 as you said).

So...you were saying?

Mashing real-time health trends with social media
This is why I love analog, and not just in the sense of "I'm an old fart and old things are better" (though I'm sure there's a good dose of that), but because there's a whole spectrum between "working" and "not working".

(Environmental issues aside, that is -- I recognize that the chemicals needed to manufacture and develop traditional film are pretty nasty.)

With digital, if it works, it's 100%, which is great, but if it doesn't work, it's 0%, and that can make it hard to even get a grip on what the problem is or which direction to go to find a solution. (DRM just makes this worse.) I've got some weird routing to my TV because the obvious HDMI connection doesn't work, and how do you troubleshoot that?

I once went to a theatre where the projectionist came out and announced that they had just broken a lens (apparently they had the largest lenses in town at the time) and couldn't project the film as they wanted to. They offered a refund, but for those who stayed, let us vote on what to do: use a smaller lens and see the film normally but smaller, or use the proper size lens but put up with 3-4 minute pauses every 20 minutes. Everyone stayed, and we chose the latter (who wants to see a small movie in a theatre?), and I don't think it was the wrong choice, but I learned that changeovers are not like commercial breaks: some of them are in really inconvenient places in the film, plot-wise!

That's a situation that could never happen with a new digital projection system. The odd thing is that even though we groaned at how poorly-timed the changeovers were, in my mind the whole event is an overwhelmingly positive memory. I learned something about how projection systems work, and we got to interact with the projectionist, and it was a unique movie night we got to talk about, and I even enjoyed the movie still. We sometimes act as though the only goal of cinema is to reproduce every pixel and soundwave perfectly, but my most enjoyable movie experiences don't correlate to that, and in this case is almost the polar opposite.

I suppose I'm a bit weird like that.

It's not a ludicrous statement. We must assume the VC wants to make money and thinks it is an indicator, just like we assume a plumber wants to fix pipes even if he uses a divination rod to find leaks.

There is a difference between intent to be rational and actually making good decisions, and they don't have to go together.
What I usually say:

Think big. Start small. Iterate often. If you aren't failing, you aren't learning (or trying).

Money from customers beats money from investors. See if you can get that. And if you can't, find another metric for success.

Bob sells software. To run that software Ann needs X, Y, and Z.

When Bob tells Ann that she must have X, Y, and Z to run the software he is giving her important information. When Bob tells Ann (who is blind, or deaf, or has a motor-control disability (or just likes the software she uses), but who also buys the software her engineers use) that she cannot get information about the product that he sells because she uses the "wrong browser" Bob is being stupid.

You might not like the fact that people use different computers and different operating systems and different browsers and different settings on those browsers. You may not like the fact that WWW was an attempt to solve compatibility problems across those variety of systems.

But if you are trying to sell me something, and I visit your website to get information about what you are selling, and you tell me that I'm using the wrong browser to get that information - well, I'm probably not going to spend my money with you. This is especially true if the information you're giving is trivially easy to give as text with a few diagrams (and even diagrams can usually go with good alt and longdesc attributes.). That was available in HTML 1.x[1] I understand the desire to give everything sliding transitions and round corners and shiny overlays and etc. I understand that CSS and correct design help impart meaning that isn't available in plain text.[2] But it is incredibly frustrating to be told that you cannot get simple information because you're not using what someone else thinks you should be using.

Remember that it is trivially easy for me to use the browser you want me to use, on the the OS you want me to use, on the computer you want me to use[3] and yet still totally destroy the design by increasing the font size. People used to specify font sizes. Most people know realise that's a stupid idea. (Imagine a TV station that broadcast a programme at a fixed volume, overriding the viewer's tv volume control. You'd call that station stupid.)

[3] Baffling that people say that a 1 GHz machine with 256 MB ram is insufficient power to browse a website, but people do say that. And not forgetting that IE on Mac used to be created by a completely different team to IE on Windows. God knows who the poor souls who did IE on Unix were. See also the unreasonable bandwidth requirements for many websites. Sure, do what you like for fun, but again if I'm buying something from you I want a quick responsive website even if I'm on a stupid slow Australian link, or on some dial-up in the US (which is still surprisingly common) or if I'm using my mobile broadband dongle on a train, with a poor signal.
The debate here seems to be about whether patents are good or bad, when the problem seems to be more about their implementation.

It's possible to imagine a patent system that has far fewer problems (though no doubt massive armies will form to oppose any major reform).

> UNIX is in no way, shape or form an IDE. IDE stands for Integrated Development Environment and means exactly that. All your tools under one roof.

agreed. if anything, it's a UDE: Unintegrated Development Environment. which is it's strength and weakness. the initial learning curve is steeper than with an IDE, maybe, but you don't run into these painful low ceilings like with an IDE. so much synergy & integratability in the CLI paradigm. pick and choose. customizable UX, custom workflows, automation, and typically much less opaque configuration, lower idle cpu and memory use, etc.
I see IE9 is missing in that list :)
The Stanford Prison Experiment still gets a lot of ink, but unfortunately the criticisms of it do not. I recommend this article: http://www.swans.com/library/art17/barker82.html

"""over the past forty-plus years, the Stanford Prison Experiment has had a strong, and arguably detrimental impact upon both scholarly and popular conceptions of social psychology. Contrary to Zimbardo's misleading conclusions, ordinary people do not mindlessly and helplessly succumb to brutality; instead the evidence (even from his own experiment) seems to suggest that individuals tend to engage in brutality only when they truly believe that such actions are warranted -- acting upon ideas that are condoned by equally brutal group ideologies. The guards in Zimbardo's experiment were thus coerced by Zimbardo and his researchers to brutalize the prisoners; while the prisoners did not simply submit to the guards' brutality, but instead, actively resisted their oppression, both collectively and individually. This resistance was considered intolerable to Zimbardo, and as this article has shown, he utilized his system power to intervene to increase guard brutality and undermine the prisoners' collective will to resist their abusers."""

Not career-wise. I still don't feel like I have a career. I took an eight week long program in GIS. It was in Riverside California. I was reacting badly to the smog and had been diagnosed like the year before with atypical cystic fibrosis. While bedridden, doctors did not want to prescribe me drugs. While in GIS school, they happily doped me to the gills so I could finish up the program I taken out a huge student loan for.

It helped save my life and helped me start turning around my medical situation. So in spite of never getting a job in GIS, I feel it was a good investment.
I typically tweak my rc files for a particular task ($language development, packaging, communications, system configuration, etc) and spawn a screen session with my $HOME pointing at a context-specific directory. This makes everything integrate a little better around the task at hand, while still giving me the full expressibility of my shell. I don't know whether I'd quite call it "Integrated", but I find it useful.
ATI has always had far worse Linux support than NVIDIA. I'm not sure if the situation has changed since AMD bought them, but I'd be hesitant to suggest going that route.
Depends on compiler options. x86 floating point is 80-bit internally, but 64-bit in memory. Compile the same function with different optimization, for a different CPU, or whatever and get different answers. For gcc, the answer is to use -ffloat-store. But you have to remember to use it.
>For example, in D2 the skills you chose were a crucial component of how well you did later in the game.

So much so that a mistaken skill allotment would essentially render your character worthless later in the game. In the end, there really was one or two right ways to allocate your points. So I disagree. If there's one thing that Blizzard got right with D3 is the skill system. It's great.

> But in D3 skills don't matter and everything is based on equipment

How much skill do you think there was in D2? It was 100% grind.
Of all the things in this world I'm most passionate about, learning is probably at the very top of that list by massive landslide... to a degree that is hard to describe to others considering many people say they love learning when in fact they really like the sound of it. So I understand where you're coming from in terms of wanting to learn for the sake of learning.

That said, not sure what you mean by unexpected outcome. Perhaps if you provide some examples of what you're thinking of. Learning a lot but can't say I see anything unexpected coming out of it but perhaps we have different understanding or viewpoints of what the word unexpected means in this context.
If you are referring to the memory usage comparison at [1], the latest G-WAN version now uses less RAM than nginx.

The point I was trying to highlight is that time spent on wading through the current situation is time not spent thinking critically about the inherent problems of said situation.

I'm not saying to down tools and get on the war path with management, but to rather try to balance accepting whatever you are told and never coming up for air, versus sitting back for a time to analyse the situation and identify potential improvements.

Ultimately it comes down to the individual, and whether they want to be a cog in the wheel, or whether they are interested in both improving themselves and thereby improving their employer.
Brace for What's Coming: Themes from Launch Education and Kids
Except that in this case, you can't test. The only way to test is to load the movie, load a key and play the movie. No key? No movie, and no test. In addition, there is no way the distributor will let you have a "test" key. One of those would be manna from heaven for any unsavory projectionist who wanted to make high quality copies from theater prints.
I have been using G-WAN for about a year. If anyone has specific questions regarding it, I will try to answer them.
Do you think that if movie theaters didn't have to use an expensive delivery service, the movie going experience would get any better?
I'm not very opinionated actually. IDE's for static languages do a great job at refactoring, especially for things like java where the language was designed more for tooling.

When sed fails, and I don't have pycharm open, I stick with something like:

grep -lR 'thing_i_need_to_change(' | xargs emacs

I feel the same I felt when I first tried nginx so many years ago. And this time, there's English language documentation.
It's embarrassing that D3 is the result of 11 years of development. It's one of the most unoriginal, badly written, cynical and frustrating games I've played in many years. I'm at the very end of the damn thing (final boss, Normal) only I can't really bother to finish it because it's too repetitive.
Generally speaking, are the performance claims legitimate?
Yep, that's obvious. But as I wrote above, it's also true that the salaries are being adjusted accordingly. That's why is so incredibly hard to foreign people to see a 25% inflation rate and not say "This country is going to explode in a few months". But they have being saying that for a few years now... while the country keeps growing it's GDP, the salaries are being adjusted to counter the inflation, and so on.

I think the main problem in the short term is the growing fight between the gvt and the unions (mainly Moyano's group), asking to raise salaries well above the inflation, which may seem to be good for their workers, but its going to be bad for the economy, because the costs will raise even more to produce goods, the competitiveness will fall, and the whole system may eventually crash.
An Invisible Shield: How to Protect Kids from Sexual Predators
I tried out GWAN on a VPS a while back. There's no configuration file, you setup directories named in certain ways to tell the webserver what IP/port to bind to.

I cannot comment on how much fast it is because it's been years since I ran benchmarks against it. Even supposing the claims are true, currently it's very limited in what languages it supports. It's great at static content, but dynamic content must be written in C or use a C library. In other words, PHP, Python, and Ruby support are pretty much non-existent (though someone has tried to get PHP FastCGI to work with it).

The author is also fairly arrogant. Earlier versions of the website claimed his code was "perfect" and that he wrote it because no else seemed competent enough to do it right (I'm trying to find the quote).

Regarding PHP:
> And without something like G-WAN you can forget about PHP in the years to come because it will not survive the parallelism's requirements.
And yet many programmers looking at this path (myself included) have that exact mindset.

I still find it amazing what software people pay for, even knowing that my mindset is wrong. Add in free/open source software and you will find the average developer attaches little monetary value to most software they create.
This is basically a follow-up to a remark I made here yesterday: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4102768
Hacker news browser plugin needed
to remove retarded posts

Im looking for a browser addon/extension that will remove any hacker news post that starts with "Why I..." "I...". There is a lot of great content posted on hacker news, but I can do without blog posts that contain " I " in it. dont care what you have to say, wish there was a plugin to remove retarded blog posts from my sight. amazes me how some posts get up voted, must be up vote bots. must be!
Did you try it? What happened?
I've enjoyed a lot about the game, but I agree with you about the story. I suffered through all the dialogue in normal mode. Franticly clicking the X on all the conversations in nightmare mode has made the game much more bearable.
I get bad vibes whenever I see server software that isn't permissively licensed at least far enough that I can see the code. So I go look at their FAQ to see what they say about getting source access:

http://gwan.ch/faq#license

WTF? I mean, in what universe would I trust this sort of handwaving? Lumping people who might want to actually, y'know, audit the software they're running in with "oh my god they wants to steals my codes!"...I think I'll pass and encourage those I know to do likewise. (Plus, as cdcarter notes elsewhere in this thread, his reasoning for no OS X binary is incoherent at best, and reading posts by the author makes me wonder exactly what chain of jerkstores he's supplying with his attitude.)
Show HN: The problem with .apple [remove the dot]
Scenario: on my network I have an innocently named box called apple. It runs a web server. I can currently access it with http://apple/ and all is dandy.

Apple now owns .apple (or probably will soon).

Apple can now add an A record to the top level domain .apple.

http://apple/ where should I go? Local domains should process first so I get to my dev box. What if I want to go to apple.com [now redirects to the oh-so-easy-to-remember apple] I can't.

Case and point:

http://pn/ (does not work for all, my work proxy doesn't allow it but my phone does)
Here's a very interesting thread in the forums of the project maintainer refusing (or perhaps denying his ability) to provide an OS X binary: http://forum.gwan.com/index.php?p=/discussion/420/g-wan-on-m.... Perhaps this is a third point on the "why would you need it to be open sourced" continuum.
I do like posts that start with "How I..." make sure I can see those posts, not all of those are retarded
Rebase also helps me make less useless commits.

For example, if I commit something on a branch, and then later realize I made a typo in that commit, I can make a commit that fixes the typo, then use git rebase -i and make it a fixup commit. Fixup squashes the commit into another one, and discards the message.

While VCs may very well misjudge prospective startups far too often, choosing not to invest in a company because you have a negative impression of the founders is not a bullshit reason for passing.
