To speak candidly, I always found it irritating when Atheists and Secular "thinkers" would attack me for being religious and a scientist at the same time, as if my religion must somehow stunf my intellectual capability. Furthermore, more often than not, the loudest champions for science are the ones furthest away from the scientific field. I've never seen such hyperbole or purist/fundamentalist views about science except in non-scientists.
In my opinion science, the thing we do to further humanities knowledge, is deeply flawed, unnecessarily complicated and painfully dirty. Let me provide a few examples:

The "3 year degree". When I finished my three year Science degree I looked back on my time not with pride but rather disdain and anger. I felt like the work I had done to achieve the piece of paper my degree was written on did not warrant three years of my life. I felt like if the university gave me the opportunity, I could have completed my degree in a year, with full time or over time studying. That being said I had the luxury of living in a country with free or freeish education. Don't even get me started on PhDs and postdocs.

Science funding: While science is supposed to be impartial, illuminating and free for all it sadly isnt. Pharmaceutical companies pay big money to get results that allow them bring drugs on the market. I'm not suggesting there methods are corrupt, far from it, but the fact that they have a vested financial interest in results steers there line of thinking so that any scientific discoveries that arn't beneficial to drug x are shelved. PhD students who are supported with financial grants are also impended by NDA paperwork and a wall of patent/commercial impediments.

The point I'm making is that It's not suprising people lose faith in science when they start to look beyond the superficial layers. Science is difficult, confusing and complicated but It's also essential, It's also wonderful and It's also fundamental for human society. The problem though (at least it appears to me) is that in many ways there is a huge disconnect between cutting edge science/peer review articles and the general public. I've been thinking about what to do to plug that gap and make science more accessible to people without requiring 5 years of studying but thats another story all together.
Star infranet Company Profile, Adobe’s Cloud Gets A Little Lightroom
You may recall a while back when Adobe made a big fuss over the launch of Creative Suite 6 It was worth making a fuss about as well since it featured numerous upgrades from previous software versions to make a lot of old programs feel new again
Nit: Google's RPC is not Protocol Buffers. That's just a serialization they use.
I keep hearing about HFT, and have read about it a little. But there's a surprising dearth of data.

Can someone come up with a data set? For example: here are N inputs to the program. If the program can make a decision D in time T, then it can make money. Or something to that effect. I have no idea right now what the inputs to these HFT programs are; what the expected actions under the time constraints are; and how the effectiveness is measured (in terms of the given data). Someone please enlighten me.

For anyone not aware, OkCupid has a fantastic blog where they do all sorts of statistical analysis on their members:

http://blog.okcupid.com/

It hasn't been updated in over a year. Downer. Getting bought by match.com has clearly had an effect. I have the extremely dubious honour of having had my profile featured on there once as being of "average attractiveness". People still visit my profile to this day, despite me not used it in a few years. Now that's good long tail traffic.

Anecdotal evidence: all the girls I know on OkCupid have said that they are harassed the second they turn on the IM system, so they have it turned off. Not that it makes a huge difference- they get flooded with messages, varying from the inane ("hey baby, what's up?") to the creepy.

Given the sheer amount of crap they have to deal with, I don't think for a second that online dating is "easier" for women. Having to reject hundreds of suitors might sound preferable to having to approach tens, but I doubt that it really is.
The messaging on your landing page is very unfocused. As a potential customer, you're asking me to do way too much work to understand your value prop. The benefit to me should be instantly identifiable. A feature is not a benefit...

The college he works at, Olin, is an amazingly innovative institution. It should be used as a model for all modern engineering programs. Unfortunately, it is not.

There exist people who write operating systems purely for curiosity's sake. This is essentially the story of Linux.

But it doesn't make sense to advocate funding these ventures. The people who are motivated purely by curiosity will by definition not be motivated by funding. No amount of funding would produce a second Linux. In fact, too much funding might have distracted Linus into working on something else instead.

If you're really passionate about something, you figure out how to do it. Maybe you moonlight, or do it part-time, maybe you save up for a few years and cash out. But I think any software developer who feels that he cannot pursue a software project because of lack of funding needs either a reality check or a career change.
I don't know, this one isn't that great and I prefer the music app after using this one casually this afternoon on the way home.

The download model doesn't seem as neat as the itunes separation. I keep current on my podcasts on my desktop, and I "catch up" on my iPhone. There's no way to trail behind a podcast (I use "sync 5 oldest unplayed").

Also, it didn't resume playing after receiving a phone call. Not a big deal, but it's another annoyance.

For the time being I put the Podcast app in a folder and switched back to the Music app. I personally find nothing wrong with the Music app and will continue to use it - whenever I upgrade to iOS 6 I'll probably take a look at 3rd party podcast apps.
Oh! Sorry -- I was confused. That's a bit better. (I like nlayer in particular). egi is pretty good.

Being single homed to a small but competent provider who is multihomed is IMO better than being single homed to a large provider, in that the small provider is a lot more likely to actually help you out when things go wrong.

Cogent obviously would be a nice way to get some cheap extra bandwidth, too. I just fear depeering days :)
Hi Matt -- while we're on the topic of academic applications (and the likely rejections), I wanted to say how insightful I've found your blog posts regarding the general academia vs. industry matter to be, in particular since I need to make a similar decision myself very soon. So thanks! :)

I agree that it's my fault not having a unique password for Envato, I do have unique passwords for most important things, but to have unique weird passwords for everything is too much for me, especially since I'm switching computers all the time, it'd be quite a hassle each time. Especially since I log into a lot of less important sites with this password. If it was a salted and encrypted, I wouldn't bother changing them. But seriously, plaintext. It's the biggest cockup I can imagine. Some may argue, but you can also keep passwords on your phone or online, you're correct, but what if my pass phrase gets hacked to all my unique passwords? How do I know that these services are waterproof? It's not the most secure way of storing passwords either to be honest, but they don't have any other way. It has to be decryptable. In the end, nothing is waterproof.

Except that in the real world your stop loss order for PEP probably wouldn't work under that scenario. The price is likely to instantly gap down further than -3%. Or trading may be halted immediately before your order is executed at all. When everyone rushes for the exit at once no market is going to be orderly.
HFT has some qualities which make it unattractive to me:

- strategically, it's an unbounded arms race, due to competing against lots of other HFT forces all trying to squeeze profits quickly out of micro opportunities in bid/ask numbers, news leak/announce gaps, etc.

- due to above, there are high technical and talent costs just to have the minimum setup needed to play in that game

- also following from the first thing, HFT becomes an additional profit motive for adding destructive, dishonest political vectors to society, such as corruption and propaganda, in order to time trades, do front running, insider trading, war profiteering, bankster conspiracies, etc.

- short-term thinking

- lastly, you're fundamentally not building anything real or positive for the rest of society outside HFT and your direct clients/owners; or making the world a better place; to others, you're just a parasite on the money flows, adding more noise and chaos, and arguably risk, to the economy

I like to compare it to the alternative, strategically-speaking: LFT (low f.t.)

- lower costs (your fixed & marginal costs "scale down" better, which is also better in the startup phase. Think lemonade stand, a small simple web SaaS, contract development -> software product company, etc.)

- longer-term thinking & bets (buy & hold; future trends, etc.)

- actually building, investing, helping others, bringing new products/services to the market, solving problems for others for profit

LFT could be used to describe traditional stock investing, it could include personal relationship investing, personal health/skills investing, building lifestyle businesses, building startups to flip, doing R&D, invention & marketing, etc.

Both HFT and LFT can make you wealthy on the top end scenarios. But LFT scales down to the low end scenarios and early phases better, and you can tangibly and visibly see improvements to the world that you've made happen. Both can benefit from hacker thinking. But to me, it's clear which is the healthier choice for the individual and society, in the long run.

This is what we're doing at 10x Management (http://10xmanagement.com). I'm a YC alum and experienced web dev freelancer. I also play a lot of music so, through serendipitous connections in that world, met some music managers, and realized what they do for their music clients would be really useful for me as a freelance programmer.

So we started with them representing me -- taking care of the business end of my freelancing -- and it worked out so well that we've partnered to create 10x Management, to expand the model. I bring the tech experience, and they bring the talent agency experience.

I think "the cloud" is perfect for DR. have a script that spins up your site in the cloud, test it one day a month, and pay for it one day a month. You go down for a day? you pay for one day in the cloud.

Of course, this does eat the same amount of labor as building for the cloud /and/ building for co-lo, so you still have the time cost.

Adminer [http://www.adminer.org/en/] is a pretty sweet db administration tool. It's only one sub-300kB file with no installation or configuration (so if your hosting provider doesnt have any db tool you can upload yours in seconds), supports MySQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL and others, and does much more. I didn't had to use phpMyAdmin even once since I learned about this.

One "killer" feature for me: Adminer automatically links items in columns that have foreign keys set, so you can click on a value and it jumps to that item in linked table.
Consider my comment in the context. The comment I was replying to says that 0MQ/XS is not lightweight because it has too much code. That's simply not true and that's what I was alluding to.
You are falling into the behavioral economics trap. In general, the big movers and shakers in financial markets act in quite economically rational ways. There is a natural selection process at work where the people who are good at using their brain to accumulate money, accumulate money, and thus have more impact in the market. If you look at many cases where wealthy market players appear to be acting irrationally, what you'll often see is they are acting in a personally rational manner, but are operating in a context with very perverse incentives. So I am curious if anyone in the HN commentariat knows the specific perverse incentives involved that prevent this more optimal system from happening. ( Joe Retail investor can be quite irrational. But I'm wondering why the Stock Exchanges and big corporations accept the status quo with regards to HFT.)
>The fact that the first stage of online dating is so heavily stacked in women’s favour doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s any easier for them, compared to men, to reach the end goal of pure love or perfect sex.

Of course, men have it harder than women in the mating game. This conclusion seems like a white lie the author created for women.

No one is looking for perfect mate. Both men and women choose their partners from whoever is available. If women got 20 times more messages than men do, then women's pool of mates to select is 20 times larger than that of men.

And even if some people happen to hold the notion of perfect mate, women still has a better chance of finding the perfect mate than men do.

With exception of special cases (maybe alpha males or older women), women on the average have is so much easier when it comes to finding their partner.
Oh come on. Anyone who understands even the basics of equity trading should know that trailing loss orders are no real protection. That's been well understood since at least Black Monday 1987.
Interesting read, but I couldn't help thinking of this onion piece throughout:

Have you taken a look at the deferred rendering and/or Scroller options for DataTables ( http://tinyurl.com/cr5usea and http://datatables.net/extras/scroller/ )? These can provide a significant speed increase - depending on your data source for the table and how you want to configure the table.
If you go to their github page it says the following under security: "On current stage I don't care about login functionality. Put Bike into folder with name like 'tASTDKUWYVEjhas' or just use Apache httpauth as workaround."

So basically... they have absolutely nothing built in for security, other than hoping you choose a good folder name. Even if you ignore that, this is an all-around poor attempt to be an alternative, let alone compete.

UPDATE: Looks like the Bike developer is not trying to be an 'alternative' to phpMyAdmin and whomever made this post either used bad info or think it's an alternative themselves. Either way the guy says it's just supposed to be a lightweight and simple tool... not any sort of alternative. With that said, it's not so bad... but still, security needs to be a higher focus if this thing can access/modify your database.
really? I actually have a customer that wants me to rent them some space and manage their stuff in mountain view, and I'm actively looking in Santa Clara for myself. (In both cases, we're talking small fry, under 10kw.)

StackJS - New framework for OOP and Design patterns in Javascript
I've actually have read articles about something I actually know about, and my immediate reaction usually is, "I'm not the intended audience." I usually find The Economist's article to be much more cursory, but frankly, I appreciate its brevity in areas I am not well versed.

I've come to respect The Economist more in those situations.
Engineers design. Developers build.
As for the options: Yes. There's patch that supports protocol versioning (version=socket option) already applied to crossroads.io. That in turn makes it possible to improve the protocol without breaking backward compatibility.

As for code complexity: It's hard to brain-map it for me as well, which is pretty alarming given that I am the author :) I am working on major rewrite of the codebase (simplification of the threading model) but that'll take some time to finish.

As for level-triggering, that's a problem with POSIX, not 0MQ. There's no way in POSIX to simulate a file descriptor in the user space. The closest you can get is eventfd() which is a) Linux-specific b) doesn't allow to signal both !POLLIN and !POLLOUT at the same time :(

What Causes Infertility in Men
Inability to conceive for more than two years after having unprotected sex is usually referred to as infertility, it is commonly due to some contribution from both male and female and approximately 40% of the time is men who contribute to the issue. Pregnancy involves a woman releasing an egg from one of her ovaries which goes through the Fallopian tube into the uterus, a man sperm is supposed to join with the woman eggs during unprotected sex resulting in fertilization of the egg. If any of these steps does not occur it results in the condition called infertility as the woman would not be able to conceive.

I think times have changed. I haven't gotten a rejection letter in years, now.

I remember sending out of 200 resumes during the recession at the end of the 80's. Back then you'd always get a letter back -- even if you didn't get an interview!

Now, it's so much easier for companies to send a rejection -- yet most don't bother. Sigh.

Say no to moronic articles like this. There are ways to make nuclear power better, just because some governments fail doesn't mean it's impossible.

Fossil fuel kills more people than nuclear power, the reason people seem to ignore it, is because nuclear disasters kill a lot of people in short time.

This article should not be taken seriously because it fails to examine the possibilites of nuclear power, and by that it fails to backup its claim that nuclear power should be totally rulled out.

That would depend on what you mean by "entitled" and by "consume". Lawsuits happen all the time because one entity believes that another entity backed out of a deal in bad faith.
These sound like the sort of thing an HR person would ask, not a developer. Commenting style. Seriously? What in all honesty do you expect someone to say, you must know you're going to get spoon fed a perfect answer just for asking such a dumb question.

phpMyAdmin has that feature as well. I noticed it a few weeks ago as I've never paid much attention to it, but it's there and it works.
dumb title - if it was phpMyAdmin for geeks I would say it should have more features, not less.

Looks nice - but as most of you said, there are far better options for handling this. If you are using MySQL and like some "nice tool", the MySQL workbench supports tunneling directly.

I suspect I've taken classes with over 50 professors, and only heard that once. And in that case she'd repeatedly asked the students to use her first name, and someone kept calling her "Mrs", and eventually she corrected the student: "Not Mrs. Either <firstname> or Dr. <lastname>".
