Well, technically, it's good form to run with your own repository. It's not too difficult to, at a user level, specify a caching artifactory instance to hold these.

In practice, as far as I've seen, one should specify the exact versions of the library you're pulling. This is done explicitly in the name of build reproducibility. The "main" repositories should be preferred unless something really custom is needed - in which case, you should be running your own package repository with the libraries you need.

So I guess more tips for maven:

1) Prefer releases over snapshots of libraries whenever possible.

2) Consider running an artifact repository if you're working with a large enough team. It's simple enough that it'd speed you up nicely even if your entire project lives on one laptop, if you're comfortable with a few details of running it. This is strictly optional but will make certain team-based workflows smoother.

3) Always specify versions manually! Don't set it to use the latest automatically. Is this ever a good idea?

4) Try not to include too many third-party repositories if you can.

It's not hard to get Maven dependencies under control. The dependencies are also cached locally, so Maven builds should depend on the internet only the very first time their dependency is included, and thereafter, every time they are updated, only for the package that was updated. Maven is actually -very- good at repeatable builds by default.
But none of those comments are going to the app store, all of them are going to twitter or facebook. None of the social integrations should affect anyone that isn't using the services already.
1000s of people got a nexus one with touch screen problem. there are even law suits. i never got one email replied, even complaining to the email address for seller claims in google wallet (which i used to buy from google directly)
Viewing angles matter more on a larger display due to the ratios of the distance from your eyes to the size of the screen. IPS screens have much better viewing angles than TN.
Maven looks locally first, then falls back to the internet. You can insert your own package repository in between so you control the point of failure. Configuring Artifactory to work as a transparent proxy to take care of all of this for you is a walk in the park, and is only one of its possible use cases.

Maven lets you keep different library versions around for different applications. This is actually a fundamental thing I've noticed everywhere I've personally seen it used: specify the versions. However you use Maven is evil. Your usage pattern needs to be improved.

I love static typed language. With a proper IDE, code navigation, completion work like magic. I end up doing less typing than the dynamic typed language.

Have you ever tried to auto complete the 'init' function in RubyMine? It will ask you which one of the 100 init functions do you mean. :)

Not with static typed language. There is only one init function to choose from because the IDE knows the exact type you are working with at all time.

More layers - better job security
The consumer market for GNU/Linux desktop application is tough, although there are some niche markets that can be viable. Wikipedia has a list of proprietary GNU/Linux applications that provides several examples[0]. If you want to charge in the consumer market and aren't interested in game development, solving boring, but relatively complicated problems (e.g. tax software) seems like a good bet financially. Open source developers are less likely to sustainably work on boring applications. People that generally prefer free software are also more likely to set aside their principles if you can somehow lessen some kind of significant pain for them (again, like doing taxes).

The business market is much more viable. There all sorts of viable markets, like:

- compatibility glue for either server-side or client-side open source alternatives to the Microsoft stack that solves certain headaches (e.g. arcane file formats, better conversion for scripted Excel sheets),

- GUI (system) management tools (such as CPanel and Plesk for budget webhosting, but for less saturated markets like managing thin-clients or virtual machines that are still a moving target),

- hardware + software (e.g. building things like portable barcode scanners for inventory management, security/surveillance hardware or VoIP boxes using the Raspberry Pi),

- et cetera.

If you target business users open source or dual licensing becomes much more viable too. It isn't economical for most companies to dedicate a lot of resources to IT internally, so they will still pay for e.g. support, training or a managed version of your application. The latter is especially attractive with web applications, of course, because you can sell a managed SaaS version of your application (this is exactly my business model with http://www.vixu.com [1]).

How to get rid of Screen Scrapers from your Website
The current approach is as follows:
1) User sends next action to OnLive.
2) OnLive renders the frame and sends it to the user.
3) Repeat.

The "faster than light" approach is:
1) OnLive renders several frames that could be the outcome of all the possible actions by the user, and sends all of them to the user.
2) User chooses the next action.
3) The frame is already available and is rendered ASAP.
4) The action is sent to OnLive.
5) Repeat.

It is of course not actually faster than light, but it's faster than the time required to send light to OnLive and back. Although, if you're going to this trouble, you may as well just render the frames locally and not bother with OnLive at all... :-S

Think about what benefit that would give the other class members, though. None. All they would be feeling is that they missed a lecture they wanted to be at and should be at.

It's sad for the student who could not attend, that is obvious. That's Yelp's fault. But these kids aren't kids. If they wanted to stand on principle and leave the presentation, they could make that call. But the decision to pull the whole class from the conference shouldn't be up to the teacher of a college class populated by adults.

Throw a shitstorm at Yelp, yes, but if I were in that class and the teacher told me to get back on the bus, I'm under no obligation to listen to him. And I likely would have stayed, almost equally as upset at the poor behavior of the instructor. The way Chris handled the situation was about as good as you can get under the unfortunate circumstances.

In 1987 the cold war was still going strong, and the threat of Mutually-Assured Destruction was palpably felt. The industrialised world was divided into two sides and it affected politics quite powerfully. In 1987 there weren't the public glimmerings of the fall of communism - the Berlin Wall was torn down in '89.

Since the fall of communism ended the two-superpower cold war, industrialised nations simply don't feel the threat of being sucked into a massively destructive third world war.

Don't forget also that many of those minds write about things happening in a post-apocalptic timeframe :)
This is largely spot-on. Of course, the author's assertion (that having all of these things in one place is novel) is incorrect for some programmers, but the sheer boringness of the language is a virtue. Go's features as bullet points are unimpressive; the set of features is the impressive part. Putting in features that are solidly understood, that are desirable, and that don't clash with each other make for a simple, solid, nice language.

I've tried without success to dig up an email from Linus Torvalds (on the LKML?) where, responding to an email complaining that a particular implementation of ARM does not breaking any interesting ground, he goes on a mini-tirade about the lack of appreciation for a simple thing done well. I think Go fits the description nicely.
I'd buy this. I didn't have any interest in standup comedy until Louis CK made the news here, and I was pleasantly surprised. I'd jump at the chance to broaden my collection and support the comedians at the same time.
Thank you for insulting my intelligence. It's funny, I don't feel intellectually stunted. ( =

When I said that the issue was more nuanced, I meant that we shouldn't ban all guns in the U.S. Please do not represent my position as such or assume that I believe that responsible gun owners cannot provide safe play destinations for my children. I grew up in Texas and went on hunting trips every year growing up. Please.

I don't think that it's naive to hope that we can curb our species' trend for violence, and I don't think that the threat of more violence in retribution is that solution long-term. You have a narrative about trusting people with lethal power, but then speak of tides of "murderers, rapists, and thieves" that you want to defend yourself with. It feels like your solution, a well-armed society, is merely stemming the symptom rather than trying to find or address any specific cause. I'm not satisfied with that.

I am not saying that it is guns' fault, by why does the U.S. have one of the highest rates of homicide of any country in the industrialized world?
Ask HN: Notable Hacker News Users
I spend a lot of time reading Hacker News each day trying to learn as much as I can about startups.

However, one of the problems that I have is I find it hard to know what advice to listen too. There are so many opinions and comments and it can be very difficult to know if the author actually knows what they are talking about.

So my question is, who are the best people to listen to on Hacker News? I’m not necessarily looking for the people with the highest karma, I’m looking for the people who practice what they preach, people who run successful startups and who have real world evidence to back up their claims.
Am I wrong to think that considering their razor thin margins, such dramatic reductions aren't really surprising?

They have over $10B in revenue but only about $100MM in profits. Fluctuations in their costs would easily wipe out those profits.

Net revenue is gross (total) revenue minus returns and any other negative revenue. (Expenses have nothing to do with Net Revenue. Net Revenue is NOT the same as profit.)

Just because net revenue is down, does not mean that the market didn't already account for this change. The real thing to look at is EPS and expectations. Additionally, after hours should not be used as any indicator since the volume is basically insignificant.

Apple never said that explicitly.

> There are no comparable states with a comparable history, demography, economy, and culture.

To be fair, Canada and Australia are pretty comparable on all counts. The main thing that distinguishes the US from them is scale, and scale has qualitative consequences, among which are the incidence and effects of criminal activity.

As a poster above said, much of the gun-related violence in the US is connected with criminal gangs, particularly those involved in drugs. And the scale of the drug market in the US, combined with the aggressiveness employed by state and federal governments in fighting the 'drug war', accounts for a substantial portion of the gun violence that occurs here.

It's worth noting that despite stereotypes, Canada does have a high rate of gun ownership - ranked 13 in the world, compared to the US, ranked first [1] - and the level of violence there isn't proportional.

This experiment demonstrates the futility of job hunting cold-calling style. In my experience the best way to get noticed is through networking, especially through friends in the field. If I were hiring, I would give more consideration for someone who was recommended even by a friend of a friend. Our job hunting time is much better spent networking than spanning every craigslist job posting with our resumes. I wish someone does a counter experiment with networking vs craigslist spamming.
I'm also starting to find that a language with static typing and generally an enforced structure is easier to deal with.

With dynamic languages, you have to hold a lot in your head. Having an enforced structure offloads some things off your brain so you have more mental space to think clearly and not panic or get burned.
To get the more obvious ones out of the way. Any of the 37 signals guys always write pretty good stuff.
I appreciate the insight about naming the segments. It reflects on "benefits, not features" where you describe what you offer based on the context of the user, not the context of your application.

You mean it doesn't now ? :-) Only half joking. It is easier to see what could happen that would be bad, and believe it will come to pass, than it is to see something that is going to make everything good. That said, there were a number of very hopeful letters in there too.

In 1987 none of these writers had any real insight into the changes the Internet would bring. "The World is Flat" [1] wouldn't come out for nearly 20 years. Although engineers were getting a pretty good grasp of what would be different 10 years later in '97. I clearly remember showing my parents Java when they came to visit at Christmas in 1994 and they thought it was 'interesting' but really didn't believe that everyone in the world would be affected by it. The next year (Christmas '95) and at my sister's house in Utah I pointed out a web site on a car ad and asked her if she knew what it was. Nope, I told her that soon it would be the only way to get information on anything. She didn't believe me.

We've not made nearly the strides in delivered medicine that we might have, that is in part due to regulatory delays, although mechanical things (titanium inserts, replacement joins, heart valves, etc) did quite well.

And world politics were clearly difficult to predict. I too saw the juggernaut of Japanese manufacturing excellence and thought "Gee, if we don't get our game on we're dead meat!" but never ever imagined a world with web sites like Global Sources [2] where you fill out a form, wire some money, and have a Chinese factory working on widgets for you before the end of the week.

As a Maryland resident and Ravens fan, I'm built to hate all things from Pittsburgh, but this looks quite good.

As you asked for critiques, I'll list out whatever I see:

- Awkward amount of space on the home page between the left and right columns (@1440px). It looks like the left column is left aligned, and the right is right aligned, but on larger monitors that doesn't seem to have an upper bound, so those things are too far apart for me.

- The screenshot is too small, and hard to discern. This is mostly an issue only because of the aforementioned space -- so there's clearly room to make it bigger, but even if you made it bigger within the faux monitor, it'd be more visible.

- The feature list is a little too close together, space-wise. Horizontally everything's okay, but vertically I'd add about 10-15 pixels between rows. Also, I'd left align the column headers, and perhaps even push the icons for those headers out of the left margin a bit. It's not as bad as the space at the top, but it feels a little off.

- The tagline is great, by the way. "Create your own private social network blah blah" is a great, immediately-understood description. I wouldn't mess with that.

- The pricing table should have a 'highlighted' default probably.

- The 'About Us' section should probably be relegated to sub-pages. I don't know what the honest judgement call is, but at least until you've gotten some more traction, my suspicion is that three college sophomores aren't going to be able to provide the most full-time customer service as a 'real' company. It's impressive to me, but I'm not sure how most people would feel about it -- might ask somebody other than me.

I don't have a need for the service enough to sign up at the moment, so my apologies on only critiquing the homepage. Like I said, on the whole it looks good, and my remarks are mostly superficial, but I tried to be as critical as my eyes would let me.

After reading the post and admiring the creative pie-chart I started thinking about more time consuming experiment of a similar type. As I believe, most of the people that applied for this job weren't "snipers" but more of a bit desperate types machine gunning each single input appearing in their over-caffeinated visual cortices. If called back they probably wouldn't even remember the names of companies they applied for. I wonder what would happen if the fake job ad contained a fake website with a fake test (of some related domain or even a basic grammar/maths) for each applicant to solve before even uploading a resume. I guess that it would give us a more full picture not only on "quality" of competition but also on the number of machine guns in the field (ad views -> website views -> tests solved).

And a bit of an unrelated question - how illegal is posting fake job ads for such purposes?

I'd like to point out that I never heard of coroutines before Go. Not even in computer science; and I did take an Operating Systems course.

I also never seen any language doing interfaces like Go. Go does it just right. I find that this is pretty impressive as a feature on its own.
I think the counter-argument here would be that dynamically-typed languages let the person behind the keyboard run the show, as opposed to the IDE.
This is kinda how I feel about self-driving vehicles. People really don't seem to get it. It will change everything.
