This reminded me of Chris Wanstrath's (GitHub Co-founder) talk/post where he said:

But it wasn't an overnight eureka, and it wasn't intentional.
I didn't just walk out of high school, pick up a Ruby book, meet Tom and PJ,
then launch the site GitHub.

Before GitHub came, in chronological order, Spyc, Ozimodo, my ozmm.org, tumblelog,
ftpd.rb, Choice, Err the Blog, acts_as_textiled, Cheat!, acts_as_cached, Mofo,
Subtlety, cache_fu, Sexy Migrations, Gibberish, nginx_config_generator,
fixture scenarios builder, Sake, Ambition, and Facebox.

And that's just the stuff I released.

Good point. I believe that explains why a lot of software is so bloated. It got that way for good reasons, at least what were good reasons at the time.

I think it's easy not to be a fanboy. But it's hard not to be a hater, especially when it comes to the likes of MS (or what it used to be) and the modern-day Apple.
In this concept the buttons are all the same shape and size. Only the location of them differentiates them (and perhaps the printed legend) So flicking from one screen to the other requires moving my hand to a different button. Why not allow the same button to toggle the screen back and forth? We are trying to keep our eyes on the road here.
Netscape got themselves in a right mess with two overlapping versions in development Competing on Internet Time (http://amzn.to/QenoYs) talks about this in detail.

It's funny how bundling a browser got MS into trouble but is now de facto.

Wonder when Apple hijacking browser links and re-routing them to their own apps e.g. Google Map links to iOS maps app, will be considered monopolistic.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions. I'm sure the Spanish Inquisition had "good intentions" as well when they tortured the "heretics".

Governments can easily get out of hand if not vigilantly watched and stopped when necessary, or they will create situations where they can punish whoever they want for whatever reason they say.

In theory.

In practice nobody has managed to produce a commercial-scale plant that actually does that.

For example: the deeper the borehole, the more noticeable the effect of tectonic drift.
> How about quantum mechanics?

That's actually the example Kuhn uses! And Kuhn didn't originate the idea in that case. He quotes Max Planck, one of the originators of quantum physics, who said something similar in his autobiography, about how quantum physics only came to be accepted after the old guard died out: A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.
Things to be considered before selecting an iPhone developer

I'm concerned that this article contains enough information for TimeWarner to identify Bill. I hope that he doesn't face any retribution.
So, like Fluid or Prism?

I guess the difference this time is that HTML5 APIs are actually good enough to build functional offline apps.

Shall we start the countdown until this is supported in Chrome for Android as well?
It's weird how some seem to grasp "government" as some golem made of paper and red tape, and not humans. Or as if anything not done by an elected official is not government.
Szasz is a psychiatrist, not a psychologist and if I understand it correctly, he said that a "mental illness" is not a real disease because it is not physical - he did not say these "problems" do not exist.
Nowhere does he say that he spent all of the 2 weeks working on this entirely. My guess would be that he did a 2-day sprint to hack the prototype and a bit more to polish it across the 2 weeks.
Point is - he would not bill 2 working weeks were it a contracting gig. But then again, where'd you get such a motivated contractor (cf. working on own project)?
You're right. I should have explicitly specified "aimed at dynamic languages". Compiling dynamic languages to CLR or JVM sortof works, but is less than ideal. And "ideal" (or more suitable, at least) language-neutral bytecode projects have never taken off.

> Think how cool it would be, if we had this button in lecture notes and so on!

Years ago (2002?), I heard about a Uni that was handing out little clickers that TV audiences get for live voting.

With these, students could rate how much they were understanding as the lecture went along, or the lecturer could put up multi-choice questions for an instant gauge of how well the students got it. (Crucially, all voting was anonymous so students didn't feel like they were being tested.)

Apparently it really helped lecturers, but there was more than once when the lecturer came to a complete stop because they didn't know where to go. (Better than carrying on blindly not knowing no-ones with you tho.)

These days, with cheap smart-phones and wifi on campus it would be easy to do something similar with just a website.
I think it'll be more like an amalgamation of Adobe Air and Chrome Extensions (with their autoupdating and other features).
Really nice way of explaining things.
It's actually 4K.
That's a pattern match. Math is a data constructor, it makes a Math object. It takes three arguments. So (Math 1 2 3) is a Math object.

A pattern is a way of deconstructing an object into its constituent parts and bringing some of those into scope.So (Math x y z) is a valid pattern, which would bring these values into scope: x=1, y=2, z=3. In this case I'm bringing only the second argument into scope. In a pattern, _ means "ignore this argument".

Here is a short interactive lesson on pattern matching: http://tryhaskell.org/#19
This feels quite a bit like Fluid or Prism, as others noted. Interestingly, though, it looks quite a bit like writing a plugin for Chrome rather than a webpage (http://developer.chrome.com/trunk/apps/about_apps.html) and the new APIs are going to be interesting.

Still, I like the approach Ubuntu is taking much more as it integrates into the desktop and is cleaner. http://techcrunch.com/2012/07/19/ubuntu-web-apps-aim-to-brid...

You missed the point. Szasz explained why these modern "treatments" and ways of looking at and dealing with people, which the OP talked about, are bad. Until Szasz's explanation is both understood and refuted -- instead of neither -- then it's both stupid and harmful to just go on talking about these things like they are OK and endorsing them because they are popular.
We're talking cost per kWhr, so yes, per kWhr.

The issue is that coal is quoted at 10c/kWhr, solar at a higher rate, but that neglects subsidies and negative externalities like climate change. Once you balance the subsidies and introduce a carbon price, coal starts to look a lot worse.
Integrating it into the OS might lead to unpredictable factors like Microsoft or Apple removing that kind of functionality from their future OS versions.

All credit to the letter; nice, polite and the best JD could have done considering the sitution. Also I like that the author acknowledges what good sports they are and is sharing that with the rest of us.

Context is everything, mate, so I strongly disagree about who you are not being a factor. Decisions are driven by many factors and none of mine relied on "overnight success" for example.

Control of your working hours was something I wasn't willing to trade, not even for a large sum of money. I'm still happy with my decision -- but I'm well aware of the fact that if the company I refused goes on to become enormous I will be kicking myself =]
I thought that too, but then after reading it I remembered a previous post about the distribution of colours within actual movies, not movie posters. So perhaps that is what you remember too?

Great work Remy - and works much smoother now than the previous versions

Love the "Convert to" feature with HTML, CSS & JS
I already posted tests results elsewhere in this topic. It outperforms it at low bitrates. I suspect also at higher ones but once both codecs get imperceptible for most listeners (which is the case for AAC and Opus >128kbps) it's very hard to get statistically significant results.

If he did it in a 2-day sprint, that makes it even more amazing -- which was my point. It seems unlikely to me that I could find someone to do the same quality of work as a contracting gig (whether it took 2 days or 2 months) and charge less than tens of thousands of dollars.

> There are plenty of these kind of games, ones that tell stories but don't do character development

You can skip character development altogether in the Mass Effect series (especially if you lower the difficulty and enable autoleveling). Only the first one requires you to increase a member's e.g tech skills to unlock some devices.

I played the first one without using basically any skills but my player sharpshooting abilities, occasionally upgrading armor and guns, more often than not for the sake of looks.

Telling stories, Resident Evil or Gears of Wars also come to mind, but I'm not sure that's what is asked here.

If someone wants something more freeform, maybe Skyrim, and dialing down the difficulty level will make a warrior's adventure possible (challenging even) without caring about the levels. A thief might be harder (without any points, I manage to stay covert, or pick master locks with patience, precision and a dozen lockpicks, but purse stealing is still a dice roll), while a wizard will be fundamentally limited in available spells unless he increases magicka.

Therefore I suppose here's the point: a game purposely designed on emphasizing on the player's skill (like lockpicking a master lock) instead of a virtually progressing one is something I would certainly like to play.

My instinct is to say that self education is hard & we still aren't good enough at it yet. On second thought I want to say that education is hard & our expectations are very high. One of my best friends has a 9th grade formal education, has done serious jail time and has still managed to succeed as a "professional" in the tech sector. I regularly listen to or read non degree people I would consider intellectuals. These aren't just brilliant edge cases anymore. Most of us know these people because there are lots of them. I have learned so much online. More than at work. More than at Uni. (Hard to compare it to school: learning to read & add was important). We are doing pretty well on self education. Lets pat ourselves on the back (or thank those people who made it happen) every so often.

I think the reason my first instinct is to say we aren't good at self education yet is that we can see so much potential. There really is no reason someone couldn't get to bachelor level chemistry, biology, civil engineering or economics on their own. There are all sorts of problems that just go away and let everything go much quicker when you're self educating. People might be able to learn 4 year equivalents in 6 months.Who knows.

Universities solve all sorts of problems in seemingly inefficient ways that we might see being superseded soon. A lot of the things they solve though are genuinely hard problems. Most people in an Econ2003 are not fascinated with Theories & Models of Supply Elasticity in A Recession. They are sort of interested in economics and have a general feeling that its something they should be studying. They might even be reading Why Keynes Matters. But, in a lot of cases they're cranky they have to take this stupid class in the first place. I'm not sure how that problem gets solved outside of a University. Maybe it doesn't need to get solved. Maybe the future is a word where students don't need to get dragged through material they don't want to learn. If it is, I'm excited.

35 year olds are looking back and thinking: "If I was 19 today I would do it like this..." But if you were 19, you'd be a different person, a 19 year old. You'd probably think like one. There are better tools than econ2003 out there a lot of the time. But they don't work for everyone all of the time. I think we have to accept some clunky systems that sort of get the job done.

Show HN: The pen company who started a riot on Reddit
I'm the web developer who built a WordPress-based e-commerce website out for a friend, the man behind W. A. Stark.

On the 15th of July, he decided to ask his supplier for permission to use their photos (as they provide an unbranded print catalog for distributors) and launched his website ahead of my schedule.

He posted to /r/guns (http://www.reddit.com/r/guns/comments/wlvwz/handcrafted_30_cal_bolt_action_pens_would_these/) and the place blew up. Some people accused him of stealing images and descriptions. Others accused him of reselling finished products from his distributor for "outrageous" markup. But what really happened was over 3k unique page views in 2 days, and a substantial increase in orders. Its my understanding that being on the front page of /r/guns generated enough orders to blow through their initial stock in hours. They still accept custom build to order requests, and those are selling steadily.

It amazed me, even though I'm an active redditor, how quickly the "hivemind" polarized into two camps and created massive drama, which generated white knights buying the product to support the firm (and leaving customer notes explaining why) and detractors playing inspector detector to "hunt down" the owner and threaten him via non-published numbers and letters to his house.

I'm happy that the website I basically cobbled together from pre-existing free and commercial open-source software (WordPress, WooThemes, WooCommerce) have worked out for them so well, and still do maintenance and consulting for them.

The site for the company is http://www.wastark.com/
The problem I have with zsh is that I don't really notice any benefits from it after switching from bash or whatever. I guess my problem is that I'm still using it like bash, which probably isn't a bad thing but I'm probably missing out on the other features it has.

Thing is there's no real feature I've noticed that made me think "Wow! How did I live without this?". Yeah I see some nice things but they feel like party tricks rather than game changing features.

I dunno, maybe I'm not seeing the big picture here. Is there anything out there that'll show what amazing things that zsh can do? Like is there anything out there that could make me stop using it like bash?
