As a matter of fact, it was much better than that 8 months ago, but the improvements took a while to become common knowledge. This is a massive problem with Clojure -- there's way too much outdated information out there.

For your sanity's sake: don't mess with manual Clojure installation etc. Just use leiningen for everything. It pulls in the Clojure compiler and runtime on its own, offers a much more useful REPL, and even handles Emacs integration these days. In conjunction with package.el/Emacs24, there's not a single thing you have to install manually.

I wonder if it's liquid enough to do an "instant trade". Essentially, you could route (possibly international) financial transactions through BitCoin and avoid big fees by doing a buy on the buyer's side, transferring the coins to the seller, then having them sell the coins in their local currency.

The best part about this is that neither the buyer nor the seller needs to have the slightest interest in BitCoin and it doesn't matter at all if the value of the currency is reasonable so long as it's reasonably stable. Even better, neither side needs to know the other's bank details, just a throw-away BitCoin account number. This isn't just an IMT-killer, it's a PayPal killer as well.

Assuming the BitCoin market is more or less efficient relative to currency markets, and assuming those transactions could be cleared within ~1 day, you could absolutely kill the international transfer market (known for high fees, long delays and shitty exchange rates).
Ask HN: Best payment processor for marketplace webapp
Has anyone had good success with a payment processor for a marketplace type app? Many users paying many other users, I take a percentage cut.

Paypal's Adaptive Payments API will work, but many people hate Paypal so this may discourage some transactions. Kickstarter uses Amazon, which actually looks promising, but I have no experience with it.
Enigmail works great here. I don't really see a need to bring it mainline, perhaps other than encouraging adoption. I use 64-bit and have used Enigmail for 3+ years without issue now -- I think it's probably safe at this point, especially if you can install from your package manager (as I can with an AUR helper on Arch).
Maybe the typical JVM bashing.

In most enterprises, regardless what we think about the JVM, it is still quite healthy.

1. Will this be free forever or will it be bumped to a paid service?

I think you're not talking about GitHub. Because I see A company which started from zero, revolutionized SCS, socialized coding. Makes a lot of cash, not from advertisement, but from an actual useful product. A Product that people love to use. I think A16Z is a very clever firm that invested in a very solid product.

GitHub has 102 employees. Which means they're already paying around $10M wage in a year and they're profitable. I bet they're at least making $20M per year right now. They're going after the enterprise market which would make them much much more cash.

Do the math. Is it really hard to pay that money back in a company like this ? Is AirBnB, Dropbox, Evernote in trouble ?

Github is not troubled.
Also fairly well known for viruses :)

Ubisoft Romania. Lots of outsourced development for big IT companies. The big problem with startups is presumably a lack of VC, but expat Romanians making money elsewhere and either returning home or just investing at home should address that.
Well, you were responding to someone who was using the correct formal terms. You, after all, don't dispute the second theorem - but given it uses the term "consistent" you can hardly complain when someone makes their argument using the same terminology as the theorem you agree with!

Interested in what you define "consistent" and "valid" as in laymans terms though.

The question isn't "is there utility" but "is there sufficiently more utility than alternatives to justify their use". I don't think I've come across a situation where the answer to that is yes. The barriers are high.

Most people a) don't have a reader b) don't really know what they are. Compare this to something like a URL/domain which people do recognise the format of, or a discount code ("use SUBWAY10 for 10% off!") to achieve the same goals.

Seriously, I would love to hear of any use cases where a QR Code was the absolute best approach.
That sounds reasonable to me as an internal email. Basically, they're saying that Mozilla is going to stop active feature development and assume a role as a corporate BFDL (hence "community-driven innovation", i.e., "we may merge new stuff sometimes, but will mostly likely not be writing it"), and expect new people on your product's team soon.

This doesn't mean those developers won't contribute to Thunderbird in their own free time as a hobby project. It also doesn't mean that an outsider interested in the project can't see an opportunity to pick up the torch.

Thunderbird is a very widely used piece of software without many adequate competitors and I think there will be plenty of people interested in tinkering with its code for a long time to come.

Tangential but: one thing that amazed me when I moved to Stockholm is that the entire underground is wired for 3G/HSDPA. You don't realize it at first until it suddenly occurs to you that you're surfing on the subway.

So I had a go. It's interesting, it seems like it could be useful but it's not really going "Here's some Ruby stuff that's useful on a daily basis" and it's more copy this line as well as you can in 10 minutes. It might help with muscle memory learning, but I didn't feel it helped get my brain anymore Ruby geared. YMMV.
Thats not over engineering just crap design and using the latest toys for the sake of it.

Overengineering is the Victorian egineers way of desiging as they did not have the indepth knowledge we have and so have massive margins of safety.

Of course that means that some of the pre WW2 London Underground tains lasted longer than the ones bought in the 70's.

I set up an account in June 2009. Pinboard was the first bookmarking site I used, and as the owner says, the speed was the thing. No animated ads, blinking things or huge page load overhead.

1. We'll keep the main functionality free (with some reasonable limitations). We plan on adding some really cool collaboration and annotation/feedback features soon that we'll probably ask a buck or two for.
2. Yes, Mobile is one of our top priorities, simply because the mockups look so gorgeous on the Retina display and it makes sense. There are some challenges we need to overcome though (performance is one). We can at least promise some great additions on the Viewer veeeery soon.
Even Ubuntu, which replaced Pidgin with the very inferior Empathy so they could be more "Gnomey", gave up on Evolution. I don't know that there's too much hope left for that one.

One thing missing in all these write-ups is what the "killer feature" will be. If you look at new products in an existing product line from Apple, they almost always have something unique that differentiates them, even if it's something minor. For example, they didn't just make the iPod mini smaller, they offered it in different colors. The iPhone 4S wasn't just a faster iPhone 4, it had Siri. I would be very surprised if a 7" iPad came out and didn't have some flourish, some differentiator that made it stand out in some way from the regular iPad and things like the kindle fire. Perhaps they make it absurdly thin? Or perhaps the display is a new display that works great in direct sunlight (you are going to read books on the thing)? If this thing is real, there is going to be some unique take on it. Price and size aren't enough of a sell on their own.
Thank you!

Great question actually - Once we were able to use Moqups to mock up the remaining dialogs, we started joking about Mockup Inception - Moqception. Really weird feeling, but also nice :-)
"What would there be more of, in total, if you confiscated a bunch of people's cars?"

Road. Fewer cars on the road would mean a more constant speed for the cars on the road.

"Would you advocate banning most people from a popular public beach on the grounds of overcrowding?"

You generally don't have to. Since the benefits of going to the beach are relatively low, people more efficiently self-regulate their usage. That is, if a beach is too crowded to put down a towel, you'll probably leave.

That's not the case with taxis. As long as buying taxies and renting them out is profitable, taxi operators will continue to do so. To make things worse, the profitability of driving a taxi is only indirectly related to the profitability of renting that taxi out. The cost of rental is relatively stable while the money made by the driver varies considerably. The drivers absorb short-term (even medium-term) fluctuations in the market.
This is one the many reasons why I would never buy another iPhone if it couldn't be jailbroken.

* VLC media player

* SSH - how is that not useful?

* SBSettings

* 5 columns for Springboard icons

* Compiling and installing any open source iPhone apps

* Being able to write tweaks like this: http://madebynathan.com/2010/12/26/ios-tweak-replace-operato...

Clojure startup time is slow. AOT helps a little. http://clojure.org/compilation

Clojure runs quite fast, in my experience. I have written an web app http://rssminer.net, in Clojure (and some Java). On a small VPS(512M RAM, 1 core CPU), It can handle about 300 request per second, On my desktop, about 2000 req/s. Which is not slow, at least.

The persistent data structures Clojure use is fast too. I did some test a long ago, It's roughly the same speed as Java collections.

You're sorta kinda conflating two distinct axes of scalability: vertical and horizontal.

A system which is vertically scalable is one which will run faster (for a given definition of "faster") on chunkier hardware.

A system which is horizontally scalable in theory becomes faster by adding more independent hardware. In this age of spinning up anonymous VPSes by the handful that's an attractive quality.

However, horizontal scalability levies a very heavy architectural tax. Nobody has produced a convincing platform that successfully abstracts away the many, many moving parts and oversight that horizontal scaling requires in the same way that an operating system can abstract away a lot of the complexities of vertical scaling.

So what happens is that you spend less time thinking about the problem domain and more thinking about the solution domain.

And which one does the user care about, again?

With earlier versions of the emulator the process was:
1. edit/compile in the awful RIM IDE
2. __REBOOT THE EMULATOR__ / push new code to the device.

Rebooting the emulator and pushing the new code for a test took over a minute.

I couldn't take it. I dropped support for BB and never looked back.

I get what you're saying, and you're sort of right, but it's still interesting to figure out why that startup time is so slow, or what other things slow it down. That talk from Daniel Solano Gómez about Clojure on Android was pretty interesting in that regard. I would want to encourage that kind of investigation, although this blogpost has a terrifically flamebait title.

> Development time is expensive, computers are cheap and get twice as fast every year or so.

It's a bit funny that you're citing Moore's law when Clojure is specifically designed to overcome its breakdown and get out ahead of that lagging curve. (Paraphrasing an early talk from Rich Hickey: "The hardware guys are punting!!")

You can turn that right around as fuel for your original point, that Clojure and it's approach to concurrency buys you tons of developer productivity, compared to whacking about in the weeds with Java. I totally agree there, those higher level features are valuable and worth something, but they do not cost nothing.
