With the number of amazing engineers from Russia and the rest of fUSSR, they'd basically need to have 20-30% of all successful technology companies to be keeping up. That's clearly not the case, so somehow the Russian business environment is underperforming for tech companies and startups.
The most well run communist state was probably Yugoslavia. I can see a few things which made it more successful than other communist states: it did not cut itself off from the world as a whole or associate itself with a much bigger and more powerful communist state and it allowed its citizens more personal freedoms than any other communist state. Of course it eventually collapsed due to internal and external pressure, but communism was not ousted due to a mass civil uprising (the wars were largely due to the policy of forcing a pan-Yugoslavian identity independent of pre-existing ethnic differences). In Slovenia, which only participated in the wars for a few days, the transition between communism and capitalism happened gradually and to my knowledge non-violently over 10 or so years.

Ask HN: What features of iGoogle do you use/will you miss?
If you were to launch a startup to take advantage of all the soon to be homeless igooglers, which widgets would be essentials?

I have a work in progress CMSlike system I could repurpose to being an igoogle alternative (in fact I probably will for personal use), so I would love to hear how you use igoogle.

Personally, I would need out of the box
- a google search box, and topbar links to all the google services
- email reader widget
- rss reader widget
- iframe widget (for embedding chunks of dashboards etc. from other apps)
I get what you're saying about the likelihood of developers having moved on to different projects/companies, but I don't think that issue is specific to this approach in any way.

Good software should be written on the assumption that someone else is going to be editing your code at a later date anyway. If it's highly readable, then being unable to grab the original developer is less of an issue.

This is one of the reasons for the peer code reviews during the original development.

I doubt it's really that hard to find developers to work on issues like this. I've always thought the idea that their work impacts millions of people, even though that is a tiny percentage of the total userbase like you said, was one of the big attractions of working at Facebook. If I knew of an issue impacting that many people, I'd be delighted to have solved it.

I now realise that I am underqualified to work at Facebook. :(
I think they'd be best off with a "revolution" in thinking by the government and public security services. If they put rule of law as a high priority, and are able to extract enough.

Everyone would be better off with Putin and the FSB crowd having their own licit and overt wealth, power, and perks, but then using their power to enforce fair laws on everyone else in exchange, vs. the system where they officially don't get as much benefit from their jobs, but extract personal benefit through corruption, and where others in society can use the state as a tool against other people.

(which is why it makes sense to pay police, judges, etc. quite well, and to give them high social standing, in exchange for competence, professionalism, and lack of corruption)

You could probably get that from the top echelon (I don't think Putin is at all corrupt, in the sense of taking bribes or anything like that, and would be surprised if his direct reports did), but it's hard to get that down to the lowest level of law enforcement.
it's a margin setting and is configurable yes. both the margins on the sides and top/bottom and the line height is.
So is javascript.

This is a ridiculous argument - there are no "good" reasons only a lot of FUD and font vendors who want this as a roundabout form of asset protection. The fonts are accessible by anyone who can use wget and can be copied and hosted anywhere else instead. Useless on all fronts, this just restricts the public web from end users.

Do not forget that the website must link to the asset in question. Why would they link to something they don't trust? Everyone trusts jQuery to not be malicious and everyone has links to cross-origin code running on their site. This is what makes the web a "web". Otherwise you would only be able to link with yourself.

Boundary value analysis? Machine state transitions testing? Equivalence partitioning?

Hey Ryan, thanks for letting me know, I just tested on Firefox 13.0.1 and it works for me. I will investigate further.
Something similar has happened to me. Apple needs to address this issue immediately.
This adage is true, but pretty ancient at this point:

> Successful businesses will be those that optimize the mix of humans, robots, and algorithms.

I mean, that's basically the motto of the mechanized assembly line: increase production by attempting to deploy the optimal mix of calculating devices, machinery, automated circuitry, and human operators.
Nope, but seeing as he doesn't mention his gender on the subsequent blogpost I think it's a reasonable assumption.

Seattle Pedestrian Accident Attorney
Pedestrian collisions have lead to some of the most serious injuries that we have seen from our clients here at Premier Law Group. The speed of an approaching car makes it almost impossible for a pedestrian to avoid a negligent driver, and the force of the vehicle makes for a devastating collision.

Agreed, JavaScript can have its quirks, but at least you don't need to read tons of generated code underneath, when trying to debug code.
What do you mean by "too"? The Nobel Prize is not given posthumously. The recent exception with Steinman was made when the Nobel Prize Committee didn't know that the person had died just a few days previous. Bose died many decades ago.

So the answer is a firm and absolute "no."
Where HTML5 is concerned, Chrome is by far the most buggy browser. It's unfortunate because over 50% of our users are using it now.
This is very awesome. I think Apple has the capability of kickstarting the HUD market and taking it mainstream better than Google can. Hopefully Apple can produce a product that looks like regular sunglasses that the mainstream would consider wearing daily. The biggest problem with Google Glass is that only geeks will wear them and they'll never be considered 'cool' until they can miniaturize the tech to fit into normal frames.
Big Data for the Poor
"America's agricultural output, which then and now, was the primary source of America's economic strength"

I think that's not correct.

Sectors by percentage of the US GDP: agriculture: 1.2%, industry: 22.1%, services: 76.7%

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

Arms and weapons alone (one of the main perceived sources of "America's economic strength" abroad, along with intellectual property and others) make more than that (sources estimate between 1% and 4% of the US GDP).

No. Long-form journalism is about keeping the reader engaged in a story they didn't know they wanted to hear. You wouldn't write fiction with a strict focus on the sequence of events, why should this be any different? While you're feeling patronized I find that I enjoy the engagement. Frankly, your way sounds boring.
Attending a Hackathon? Here's a checklist
I agree. Specialists are really just full stack engineers who haven't fulfilled their potential. Why hire a self-proclaimed UX guy? Unless I have all the amazing engineers I need for my team (99% not the case), I'm looking for someone who can do multiple things. The best ones are ones that can do schema design, query design, system and model architecture, front-end wireframes, javascript, and implementation.

That said, your comment about the front end being "tightly woven in with the business logic of the module" scares me a little. The front end is presentation and interaction. Unless most of your businesses mojo is client side, even a full stack engineer should design each layer as fully cohesive and encapsulated components. I may have misunderstood you, however.
Startup Stay lets you connect with entrepreneurs
The video is 27 minutes long, with about 5 minutes of Q&A at the end and IMHO worth watching all the way through, but the '10 Golden Rules' he discusses are...

1. Speed - more than a feature, mainstream users tend to be least forgiving, slower apps grow slower.

2. Instant Utility - service has to be useful straight away, without lots of length configuration or importing data, use tricks to add utility (crawl web for initial population), example: Google Video took weeks to encode video...YouTube made it available ~immediately.

3. Voice - Attitude/personality from software/application. Example: Twitter 'Fail Whale' creates a "voice".

4. Less is More - example: Facebook at launch had a tiny amount of features versus now. Del.icio.us was limited but powerful... "one little thing...get a lot of utility..."

5. Programmable - Allow other people to add value to your application. Read/Write APIs. Lets developers add data/utility and "energy".

6. Personal - User's own data / their personality establishes emotional connection between user and app. Makes them "invested" in the product.

7. RESTful - ?misuse of the term. All accessible resources in application have a clean URL where it can be accessed. Example: Twitter URLs easily understood from just the URL. ("https://twitter.com/#!/fredwilson/lists)

8. Discoverable - How do people find your app? Take advantage of search (SEO) and social media (virality) and build apps from the ground up to BE viral and optimized for search.

9. Clean - Application has focus per page and functionality on each page is limited. Lots of space, big fonts. Don't let the user get it wrong. Example: Tumblr login ("http://www.tumblr.com/login) - ie. nobody won't know what to do.

10. Playful - Help users have fun and incentives for the user to behave in ways you want. Example: Weight Watchers has a game dynamic with setting goals and achieving weight loss / LinkedIn & Facebook & Twitter with friend/follower counts / FourSquare badges and mayorship.
There's a good reason that developers love git, it helps to organise code for _themselves_. Centralised VCSs are there to help you share your code with _other_ people.

Here's some problems I encounter everyday that git solves and SVN for instance doesn't.

1) I've been working on a feature since this morning but now there's a bug in production. I need to drop what I'm doing and come back to it when the bug is fixed.

2) I've implemented a feature but before I share it I want do some refactoring to clean it up. If I break something during the refactoring I want to be able to get back to the version that was working.

3) I'm working on integrating an old web API (SOAP hell) and I want to make a note of the workaround which is spread across several files. My tests aren't passing yet though so I don't want to share any code yet.

These are some examples of scenarios where git fits with _your_ workflow. This is where git really shines, not in the sharing of code (where it does also improve on SVN), but the ways in which it allows you to organise the pieces of code you're working on throughout your day.
I'm looking at it on Windows XP (hangs head in shame), in case that makes a difference.
"The good news for iPad/iOS fans is that Apple is apparently going to come out with a 7" iPad soon."

Apple speculation has a history of being high profile and also wrong.
Very solid rules. I (and everyone else on my project) break the one about commenting out code all the time. When you have 20 people committing the same file over and over every day it's hard to find something in the history.

I would argue the opposite. Facebook is in prime position to move quickly and break things. They have enough traction, gravity, and brand recognition they can afford to make mistakes.

If you have a small user base or are just getting started, delivering the best product experience is the #1 thing you can do for success. Is iterating faster and making more mistakes and giving the early adopters (ones that champion your service the most to others) a sub-par experience worth the speed? Sometimes, yes. All the time? No.

Facebook can change your privacy settings, steal your e-mail address, recognize you automatically in photos, watch your browsing activity outside of their walled garden, and sell your data to advertisers. And yet they still have 500million+ users.
I don't understand the point.

Surely TTFB is used to measure server latency (basically a ping). Why would TTFB be used as a proxy for page load speed when you could just use...page load speed?

This is the best intro I've read to get the concepts of distributed version control: http://hginit.com/

It's specific to Mercurial, but git is very similar. If it's the overall concepts that are giving you trouble, that should be effective in removing those blocks.
For some applications, the number of corner cases that can not be resolved by reading log files is minimal. (you are writing logs, right?) That is, too, assuming the problem is actually in the code itself and not the infrastructure.
> And if he doesn't automate, the other guy will.

This is why I feel that the development of AI is pretty much inevitable - barring a global catastrophe (WWIII/nuclear holocaust) or a significant reduction in R&D on semiconductors and machine learning (global economic collapse). It appears as though the gains are too large and the incentives too strong for anyone to restrain themselves from pursuing it. Replacing intelligence has to be one of the most profitable business models ever created in the history of humanity. Someone is going to end up a trillionaire and a lot of people are going to end up unemployed (or worse?).

Am I the only one feeling pretty fatalistic about all of this stuff (AI/ML/Robotics/Automation) - it's probably going to end up killing us all. Not on purpose, of course (it's never the obvious things that ruin you) - but probably thanks to the law of unintended consequences that operate in complex, unpredictable systems like the Earth.

But I suppose we should keep working on it - because the alternate - a world without AI is just too damn boring.

Reminds me of a quote from "Wired for War":

A robotics researcher was asked for his thoughts on the end game for robotics. This is his answer:

> "Yeah, I may be designing something that enslaves and kills my grandchildren someday... but I can't help it, it's so cool!"
True - but those engineers don't work at Facebook. This isn't no-child left behind. This isn't hand-hold time. This is the most expensive and expansive internet application in the world. If they need time to ramp up, they can do it on someone else's product and come to Facebook when they're ready.

Freenode is still growing
This is anecdotal, but even within the same village, switching to capitalism has been known to radically increase production.

I'd recommend this fascinating story from NPR's Planet Money: http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2012/01/20/145360447/the-secr...

Background: a group of farmers in a small Chinese village secretly agreed to start keeping their surplus crops for themselves.

=============

Before the contract, the farmers would drag themselves out into the field only when the village whistle blew, marking the start of the work day. After the contract, the families went out before dawn.

"We all secretly competed," says Yen Jingchang. "Everyone wanted to produce more than the next person."

It was the same land, the same tools and the same people. Yet just by changing the economic rules — by saying, you get to keep some of what you grow — everything changed.

At the end of the season, they had an enormous harvest: more, Yen Hongchang says, than in the previous five years combined.
Nope, it is just an introduction. I would love to see next parts, my memory of Complexity Analysis is very rusty. Basically I only remember people _repeating_ that course, leaving the exam just after seeing questions :)
The core concept of Git is simple. All its more complex features can be derived from the idea that Git is a database of commits (changes + metadata).

A rebase is the act of changing the parent, or base, of a commit. So instead of a change being made to version A, you make the same change to version B. No time travel metaphors need to be involved, and IMO only complicate a very simple concept.

The harder part is explaining why you'd want a rebase.

But if you have a dynamic webpage, TTFB measures how long it took you to process the page and start outputting results. The rigged server in this test doesn't seem relevant to that case, or am I missing something?
I think it's coming to UK around mid-July, too. From there you might not get it in your country through Google and their partners, but I'm sure there will be plenty of offline and online retailers getting it from UK and reselling it in your own country, probably for around 200 euro or so.

is your interpretation. It does not take a mass delusion Stockholm syndrome sort of interpretation to figure out that a lot of developers get great satisfaction working on the platform. I'm sure to a person there are things they dislike and would change, but that doesn't mean they are being abused.

It's much easier when you accept that people have different opinions about just about everything and that those differing opinions don't always indicate a lack of reason or ulterior motive.
