Absolutely, but also bear in mind Next and Apple worked on some of the hardest problems in the industry. OS kernel design, languages and compilers, development frameworks. Now you can be an ace developer, absolutely A-grade, and be working on a web app in PHP but maybe in that case your leverage over an average dev might be say 10x. Whereas if the problem domain you're working on is something really critical like kernel scheduler design then an A-player might come up with a solution an average dev might never come up with. Not in 100x as long or even 1000x as long.

Ask HN: Can we embolden post titles over 500 points?
And italicize post titles over 1,000 points?

The reason being is because I almost skimmed over this URL as being not important/new when it has almost 1,000 upvotes but is simply too old (22 hours) to be sitting near the top: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4195208<p>I must have left HN about this same time yesterday, and since then there was a massively influential article posted... but upon my return, that massively influential article is less than obvious because it is lost amongst the newer/less popular articles of the day.

I'm not quite sure how to word what I want to say.

The model of having a small contained network, with users doing everything on your computers, with a bit of access to the wider Internet, failed.

That's what AOL used to be. That model failed for AOL, and they converted to general ISP.

The electronic landscape in 1998 will be surprising to many people today - especially the eye watering prices.

My favourite quote from that page:

> "This is the computer industry as it used to be: people sharing ideas and solutions without the greed and grit with associated with today's corporate driven, litigation-laced, industry"

(remember this was written 23 years ago).

And so now, looking at Facebook, I see some similar features. They have their own email; their own "CB simulator"; etc.
It is an open question whether this is a fundamental problem with the approach, or simply a lack of relevant data for such translations. I suspect the former, but that's just a feeling. Perhaps with a sizeable corpus of literary translations, the system wouldn't do so badly.

This has been a problem for every Internet service everywhere ever. That hasn't stopped email from being useful, forums from being useful, traditional wikis (weird to say "traditional wikis", now that there's a new kind of wiki) from being useful, websites from being useful, etc.

The spam problem always has to be solved. That said, very active wikis have shown themselves to be more resistant to spammers than most online services. Because anyone can remove the spam, there's a pretty high cost to keeping the spam flowing, particularly if there are sufficient impediments to automation in place.

Totally aside, but interesting: 80 characters was not an arbitrary limit, at least not directly. It was the size of the IBM standard punched card, and the terminals that succeeded them. Famously, versions of COBOL (FORTRAN too?) well into the 1990s would not even recognize input past column 80 even though it had long since graduated to text files.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punched_card

I still like to use 80 characters even today because it means I can fit two or even three pages of code side-by-side without wrapping. Great for merging.
I disagree with the point about 80 chars limit.

If the line consists of boilerplate code, I will allow it to go over 120-160 chars most of times. The idea is to just get that code out of sight, as nobody should have to read it anyway. If it's important, I will break the line up. If not - like a long exception message that gets constructed with bunch of context information - I'll let it grow out of window. It's not something you will need to look at, read and grok every day. And I am happy to have it out of sight most of time.

I break up lines when thinking about stepping through them in debugger (though javascript debuggers seem to be able to step statement by statement, not line by line).
> I would contend that readability generally has more impact on the success of a project than micro-optimizations and stylistic experimentation. If that means writing like a C coder in the 80’s, then so be it.

Excellent attitude. I need to keep reminding myself of this when I come up with them fancy oneliners again.

Hackers Leak over 200,000 Account Details in ProjectDragonFly
I read about halfway through this article thinking it sounds good, but they used insubstantive marketing language terms like "new innovations", "big ideas", "safely and securely", "flexible adaptable technologies", and "dreaming big but thinking locally" so many times that it gave the game away. In addition there are no down sides described, the alternatives are demonized, and there is no real technical explanation. It's indistinguishable from a full page magazine ad. It is clear is a paid placement by advocates for a concept, and not a real article from a journalist. I then glanced up to see what site is running this sort of puff article and was genuinely surprised to see National Geographic is now doing this sort of thing. I guess the journalist needs some practice so he can learn to hide his tells in future product placements.

So they don't need bank accounts, which were never required for cash purchases anyway and was a red herring, but they need government id numbers now to be tied to and track their every purchase.
Isn't it a little ironic that they don't matter to the "elites" and "geeks" and then this article was in Vanity Fair? There is another aspect of bubble bursts, there is a point in which every sort of starts to expect it. I'm of the belief that once there is some critical mass of burst acceptance, it's an inevitability.

MS isn't going away (like they tried to do to so many of their competitors) but it may never be the same again. I don't see how Windows 8 can be a big enough win to be what they need it to be; they have set the benchmark as windows everywhere, not a plurality of windows. Really, the interesting question is what does Ballmer's successor do to shake it up and get the ship back on track. He could reset "normal." He could spin some stuff out (internet and games could/should be on their own.)
Right, because a good way to fix errors on a web page is to change your operating system and browser.

Yeah, they already have that.
It does seem to mix a lot together. And the title is easily proved wrong. You can store data as a live object and a linked list of diffs to go further back in time. This is how the git pack file and many backup systems work.
Well, it's not needed - that's my point. Bundler just uses the one well-established format for packaging libraries and declaring dependencies. Even git repositories and local code uses the same depency-declaring format: A standard gemspec. Otherwise bundler just stays out of the way to do it's main job - dependency resolution. There is no such thing as two package formats in the ruby world. There is now in the PHP world - PEAR and Composer (and zip and tarfiles). PEAR has always been severely lacking - no way to install two versions of the same PEAR package, improper dependency-tracking - so I guess that's required. It's probably a huge step forward, but it's still not "better" to be able to track two package formats "with just a little extra configuration" instead of "it works just fine without extra work with the default package format." And that's exactly what the article claims: "Yes, PHP has a better dependency manager than any other languages.
We're so different, you and I. "Getting code out of sight because it's ugly" is such a foreign concept. If a code block is that ugly, it either needs to be made not ugly or put directly in the line of sight with plentiful comments.

"Shouldn't have to read it" !== "won't ever have to read it."

It is not from the ATLAS experiment, but of another LHC experiment -- but still within the organisation of CERN.

The comment/quote is about evaluating people -- ie. by the simplest budgeting metric, labour cost (with obvious consequences for peer evaluation). It has nothing to do with colour but with peer evaluation of equivalent work, differentiated according eastern or western membership.

edit: unable to reply to the comment below. But I can cite concrete case(s) in which work was performed in Geneva by both eastern and western member within the same group. China isn't a memberstate anyway.

Google treats incoming links differently when they are pointing to a subdomain. Incoming links to your main site are more beneficial than incoming links to a subdomain.

Very slick, but also very slow. Occasionally I have to run a command twice for it to register. Also, it's strange that git's output isn't colorized, considering the "Success!" messages are.

It seems odd to me to focus on Wikipedia as the comparison point, but then again I was on C2 back-in-the-day and have always seen the quintessential wiki as a superior version of a forum rather than Wikipedia. If we are comparing to currently-active technology, I would argue that the federated wiki concept has the potential to bring tumblr or del.icio.us style contributions to a different, longer-form audience.

I do worry that the federated concept will make authorship too important. The lack of permanent credit on C2 was part of what made it valuable: people more often wrote things to contribute value when they didn't have the motivation of scoring points, gaining karma or making a name for themselves.

You misunderstand the MS hate to compare it to Oracle and IBM.

Oracle and IBM want to make money, period. They'll run their products on a competitor's platform if they can get a bite of the pie, they don't care. Further, I'd guess 7/10 geeks that "hate" oracle have never used their products and might not even understand what they do, it's just part of the hatred of really really successful companies. (That's part of it too, whenever a powerful and successful company actually competes, people tend to hate it.) I'm not going to defend them but when Oracle sued Google, I don't think there was ever an intention to make Google go away, they just wanted a cut of the action, it was all about money. Read up on what MS did to Digital Research and Lotus, MS wanted to "cut off the air supply," they refused to see a world where those companies could co-exist. It's just different, MS has wanted to kill the competition.

How come they don't port most apps to other platforms? Office on Mac is the only serious one I can think of.
And the sad part is that none of this will help the overpopulation problem, since those who have access to virtual sex will also be the ones who are not contributing to the problem so much.
"At some point in computer history, somebody (arbitrarily?) created an 80 character line limit for code. ... I’ve been writing JavaScript for three-ish years"

For a couple decades, and not ending until the late 90s, most text terminals and text modes for graphics cards were 80 characters wide[1], and dot matrix printers also had an 80 character line length (plus margins) dating back to 80 characters per line punch cards from 1928[2]. If a line was longer, you had to scroll that individual line. To let your code be read easily anywhere including your own screen, you stuck to that line length.

I agree that some way to remove links to forks that are spam or that you find reprehensible is a good idea, but the whole point of forking instead of editing is that the forks aren't approved.

As I said elsewhere, I (nor the people I quoted) meant to represent this as an alternative to Wikipedia itself. I'd see it more as some that a wiki farm like Wikia could use to allow editors to put more of their own perspective into an article (that's my opinion, not the Smallest Federated Wiki developers' opinion).
If there were multiple bars there would be ones specializing in douchebags. Carrion and his ilk would never face permanent disbarment.

I feel like we are discussing this from very different perspectives. You raise hard computer science problems and a Woz example that is hardware related. The article was about software, not people who push the envelope of what is possible with computers.

If you are tackling problems like natural language recognition you don't need a superstar programmer. You need someone with a background in Computational linguistics.

Assuming we are discussing software. Hard computer science problems are, unfortunately, very infrequently brought up in a business setting. The biggest challenge in software is building the right thing. Change is inevitable and solutions are often large. This means you need to have teams of people working together building solutions that are very malleable.

Here is another way to consider it from my perspective. The article is about teams of 'A' players. I am guessing Linus meets your criteria, but you don't hire Linus. You don't have teams of Linus'. Linus is something else...

If they would be a bank the answer would be rather simple - they don't.

They would be fined e.g. 100M for such behavior and then receive 10B in "failure" support from one of the tax payer backed pots.

With that fresh inflow of funds they would then just carry on doing the same (but with 9.9B more on their books)

Admittedly, I used it a long time ago. Back then, it was obviously never really used by any of its developers for things beyond the trivial "Blog Tutorial". For example, you couldn't reasonably put model-related code in your model classes, because the model data (coming in from the ORM as nested associative arrays) were structured subtly different depending on how it came in (i.e. on which ModelPeer the query originated). This effectively forced you to make fat controllers and useless models.

Additionally, I know of no framework that reinvented more wheels than CakePHP.
I'd love that too… I wonder what the demand is for something like that.

I did some programming training a while back and found that there seemed to be way more people interested in the basics. I'd be curious if something like Git would be different.
I guess it was intended to be basic. The idea behind it is that you take 15 minutes and do some basic things and if you like it then you can then learn more about it... I think it's a great starting point. It gives noobs like me a good interactive, hands-on start.
This tutorial is very pretty and does a great job of emulating the local Git experience using just a single interactive webpage. However, Github seems to be trying to introduce Git to a wider audience - namely non-developers.

From the blog post[1]:

"If you know of a developer, designer, or other knowledge worker that would benefit from using Git but that hasn't made the leap just yet, send them over to try.github.com when they have a spare 15 minutes."

As a developer, it would be nice to know how well this tutorial really works for non-developers. To me, it seems that the tutorial introduces way too many concepts and details in a very short time for a non-developer to understand.

For example, there are a lot of people that work daily with a computer but freeze completely when faced with the task of using a command-line interface. Yes, clicking on the command does write it in the console but you still have to know to press the return key to actually execute the command.

I'm not saying people shouldn't learn Git, I'm just wondering what the target audience and purpose of this tutorial is.

No. Just no. Google (really Samsung, but whatever -- let's leave Google as the proxy here for simplicity) isn't squeezing "everyone." They're squeezing exactly one party, who happens to have already sued them. This is a defensive move in a larger battle, and viewing it as one-sided while cheering for an at-best-equally-at-fault party is just perpetuating the absurd status quo. Either you think patents suits are bad, or you are part of the problem.
Not really you can keep objects locked independently.

A->A(30)->A(29)...A(0)
B->B(20)->B(19)...B(0)

start adding a new A; start adding a new B; Finish adding a new A; Finish adding a new B; Verify B; Verify A;

A->A(31)->A(30)->A(29)...A(0)
B->B(21)->B(20)->B(19)...B(0)

Now keep A and B's states stored on different machines and they become completely independent with no concept of time or ticks being introduced.

As to an actual example of this in use think bank accounts in an MMO, you might want a transaction log, but you don't necessarily care about time-stamps all that much.
Regardless of bias, it is a fact that the Parliament, being a relatively new institution with very vague and weak powers (compared to the Commission and the Council), is eager to pick as many constitutional fights as it can win.

In this sense, the Commissioner's remarks were like a red drape waved in front of a sleepy bull, and were probably the main cause for such an overwhelming rejection.

Never tell politicians that they don't matter; it's the best way to motivate them to prove you wrong.

It was also the Irish Government that wanted to re-run the Treaty of Nice and Lisbon (they did it twice!). The Irish political mainstream was entirely behind Nice & Lisbon, and they were sorta suprised at the No vote. Hence they decided to re-run it.

The EU has no problem dropping a member state out if that government wants to not take part. The UK didn't want the recent Fiscal Compact, and was going to veto it. So the rest of the EU (bar UK & Czech Rep.) just went ahead with a different treaty.
