We really want VBA to use all cores of the CPU rather than just one.

VBA is currenly simply too slow, NOT able to use more than 25% of CPU capacity (3 out of 4 cores are idle when VBA is running).
Thanks for the suggestions!

I've been wanting to try out a number of pre-processors, but I haven't figured out a way to be able to edit it live (which REALLY speeds up development).

However, I'll definitely give SMACSS another (more thorough) look.
"who is concerned about [doing something] cheaper"??

Really? That's your question? And by "cheaper" it is meant "99.0%-99.5% cheaper"?
Tech CU wants to become a bank
Edit: after posting I realized my reading comprehension needed some work - I'd misread who was getting the net loss. That said, it remains to be seen if adding palatable SaaS pricing will help or hurt.

These SaaS options aren't necessarily the net loss you describe.

I don't mean this to sound like an ad for Adobe's subscription model, but as someone who's used a lot of their products for over a decade, it's hands-down the best way for companies to get access.

In Adobe's case, per-app pricing is really there to set value for the Creative Suite bundles, which in turn set the value for subscriptions.

Let's say I need Photoshop. I have 3 primary options:

- Buy Photoshop CS6 for $700 right now. It's on a 2 year release cycle, and was recently updated, so that's a solid 2 years of guilt-free use until the next rev.

- Buy a CS bundle - eg Design & Web Premium for $1,900. Includes Photoshop Extended, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat, Flash, and Fireworks.

- Subscribe at $50/mo for 1 year ($75/mo w/ no commitment). Gets everything above, plus Premiere Pro, After Effects, et al.

If I buy the bundle, that's a $4150 value for a mere $1200 more than Photoshop by itself. This is why the bundles have always sold so well.

If I subscribe for 2 years, it's $500 more than Photoshop by itself, and $700 cheaper than buying a standard CS bundle. Also, I get the latest version of every Adobe tool for the duration, so if different people in the org have different needs I don't need to care.
Honestly, if a spelling error picked up by a browser casts a negative shadow, or reflects an inability to pay attention to detail... sigh.

We have to keep in mind that when Daniel Loeb came into the picture, he not only forced Thompson out, he forced the board to change members. It's not the same board as it used to be. And THEN they brought in Mayer.

What?? Do you really work for Google? I mean, I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but when you say "work" what do you mean? Is this Google, the "search engine?" You know what it does right?

I've regularly used Google to match names to addresses, in fact many many people do this. I find this hard to take seriously.
The equating of writing slower code to "sloppy programming" seems like sloppy reasoning to me. If it was sloppy to knowingly go with a slower solution, then using Python, for instance, or any scripting language for that matter, would always be "sloppy".

It isn't.

For me, Scala provides a happy middle ground between a scripting language like Python, and an "enterprise" language like Java. Scala is as nearly performant as Java--and sometimes it performs significantly better than Java due to having parallel collections, and the like--while having nearly the expressiveness of a scripting language like Python.

Also, Scala's performance issues are overblown. I program in Scala professionally every day and it performs great.

Most of what I've learned has been out of necessity because I'm building something. My strongest suits are CSS3, HTML, JS. My current internship is working exclusively with these. I know JQuery to a moderate extent, but I tend not to use it if at all possible: most of it is more easily replicable in CSS or is less efficient than pure JS. I haven't had a reason to learn Rails yet. I took a brief look at it, but the whole thing looks monolithic and seems like overkill in many cases. I use Sinatra for most of my web apps. I've use Redis and Mongo for dbs, and am trying to take a stab at learning Postgres. I also know Ruby. My knowledge of system administration extends to deploying a Rack app on Heroku.

Not everyone agrees on what it means for a programming language to be proper, and that's unlikely to change.
I would think that a major part of such an analysis would be identifying other apps similar to your idea and evaluation of their success, lack thereof, and possible reasons for either.

Without a realistic understanding of your target market from a competitive analysis standpoint one could wind up spending cycles writing an amazing app which is doomed before it even launches.

For $1.26bn, VMWare Buys a Chance to Reinvent the Internet
Maybe a small disagreement: JetBrains does work on a form of subscription mode, right? About once a year I pay an upgrade fee for IntelliJ, RubyMine, and PyCharm. This is a recurring cost, but the advantages of have up to date IDEs far out weigh the "subscription cost." What is the difference between "I want to have" upgrades and subscriptions?
It seems like every time I read something new from Schneier I lose a little of the respect he's built up over the years. Are you really going to pretend the threat posed by one self-taught and self-financed guy with no friends is in any way comparable to that of a well-financed international terrorist organization with a shared ideology that has deep cultural and religious ties? Really?

Of course Norway's response is different. Norway isn't the target of a terrorist organization. It had a terrorist incident that's now over. We had something similar in the US with Timothy McVeigh, and our response wasn't any more radical than Norway's.
and what is the difference between mailplane and the much hated Gmail for iOS (both of them are webview wrapper as far as I can see).
"Do Not Track" Internet spat risks legislative crackdown
I disagree, I think it it more that the future effort vs reward didn't stack up as well. Because so many developers had already purchased and it was well known, a free version 2 wouldn't represent the same kind of financial gain the initial spike did, despite all the extra effort.

A paid version 2 though produces a similar windfall again, rather than diminishing returns.
And then there is APL, that barely uses any letters at all and so can even be seen as natural language neutral.

At Universities in New Zealand, any type of experiment involving human participants (even just talking to them) requires passing through an exceptional amount of ethics-committee red tape.

The same is true in the United States. At the state university in this state, which has a very extensive medical research program, the human subjects review committee has to approve any new experimental protocol to be used on human patients. What J. Paul Muizelaar and Rudolph J. Schrot, both neurosurgeons at the University of California, Davis, reportedly did (as related in the article submitted here on HN) is completely unethical, and not at all to be tolerated. Their being barred from further medical research on human subjects, as reported in the article, is an appropriate response. (And that is basically a severe restriction on the faculty member's ability to raise grant funding.)

I write this as someone who has an immediate relative whose fiancee died of the dreaded disease mentioned in the article. Finding a patient with a disease with a grave prognosis is no excuse for doing something that is dangerous on its face and unproven to be therapeutic. The rule "first do no harm" is still a basic principle of medical practice.
You are bringing up a valid point. Doug is saying that I should not use Backbone but instead create my own code structure and organization... but that's the thing. I don't want to reinvent the wheel. I want to use something proven. And yes I have tried structuring a 100% javascript application and I don't like the way it turned out. If someone wants to criticize backbone that is fine, but I want to see an alternative suggested other than 'roll your own.'

I think there is a big opportunity for mobile developers that build a great app that solves (or greatly alleviates) a problem for users and giving the app away for free, but make money on the back end off service providers that are willing to pay money for access to users/consumers. You'd be moving higher up the marketing food chain from simple ad displayer to lead generator.
That was the only piece I couldn't understand. This is fantastic, great work!

I've worked with a couple of these APMs and they were awesome. I've never experienced or heard of this credit-jealousy around APMs that you're describing (I have seen it with other employees though).

Obviously, I'm just one data point.
Your biggest expense as a company is employees. Every purchasing decision that won't keep you alive for another month is a decision that isn't worth thinking about.

"I could switch from A to B and save $100 a month". Each human being in your startup costs $5000 - $10,000 a month in salary excl. benefits. Saving $150 a month on mailchimp is chump change.
Technically Nicira does both. One of the tunnelling protocols it uses is STT (Stateless Transport Tunnelling) Protocol which they effectively made themselves (and is up for draft in the IETF). It's their mechanism of choice for communicating between the network controllers and hypervisors over the physical network.

It's not true TCP, but looks enough like like it to allow hardware offloading to the network interfaces of all the tunnelling, saving a lot of CPU power.

This allows for throughput speeds in an STT software tunnel to reach the same maximums as "raw" TCP through a given interface.
Interesting the part about non-interference:

"But Vecellio said it would go against Karisoke center policies and ethos to actively instruct the apes. 'We try as much as we can to not interfere with the gorillas. We don’t want to affect their natural behavior.'"

It's the Prime Directive in the 21st century.
>> unlike my bartender, I could conceivably have 100,000 people tip me $0.25 through Gittip.

And if the minimum were $1 or $5, I don't see how that's a problem. Your bartender doesn't have global reach and his/her services don't have infinite scalability. The bartender/dry cleaner/barista examples were to illustrate lower bounds and not the maximum.

There's no reason to place artificial ceilings on how much developers can make with something like Gittip.
It doesn't work for you. Someone else with the same setup has said that it works for them. I realise it's frustrating but it may be far more of a minority issue than it seems.
Terrorism can be brought on by a state as well as by non state actors. Wikipedia defines terrorism as "the systematic use of terror, especially as a means of coercion." Conscription during any of the major U.S. wars in the 20th century fits this definition nicely. Many more people died from these than on 911.
I see it as something like the historical gold rush - developers flocked to the app store because they sensed there was a lot of money to be made. This vastly increased the supply of apps, which in turn decreased the demand per app, and so decreased revenue per developer. I think there will inevitably be a fall in the rate of apps being added to the app store, and sucesses will continue to be focused on a handful of publishers.

PS: This is probably wrong in some fundamental way (I'm not an economist)!
I cannot tell you how much I wish all designers worked this way. I spend more time cutting PSDs than I do building the backend of the site (which is what I am actually hired to do).
I'm skeptical that the main value of the product to end users is that it's cheaper. Do you own an iPhone? Did you buy it because it's the cheapest way to have a phone in your pocket?

On hacker news, people seem to care about pinching pennies on marketing emails, but in the real world where people have real businesses that make real money, the cheapest is not going to win the fight.
To be fair, it's not just hackers - geneticists, nuclear physicists, pretty much most scientists have been portrayed in a negative light in the media.
You're artificially limiting the maximum here. The range of contributions for e.g. a game will be different from B2B software, because the values derived are completely different. There doesn't seem to be a good reason to enforce a global limit.
The thing about disrupting yourself is that you may end up with a larger share of a much smaller pie.
It seems like you're being sarcastic, since the hackathon took place in the past and, therefore, signing up is no longer a possibility. Despite the exhaustive observations you surely made while not attending the event, I find your insinuation that only teams of back end developers have the qualifications required to organize hackathons to be facile and, frankly, untenable.

I think that the founders came from heterogenous backgrounds is, in fact, a positive thing. Part of the point of the hackathon was to create an environment that values different perspectives. The fact that the organizers have experienced the tech scene from avenues other than coding gives them different perspectives, which, all other things being equal, is probably a good thing.

Perhaps all else is not equal, but I'm not convinced. I volunteered at the hackathon. The hacks were quite good and--possibly more importantly--the atmosphere was phenomenal. People worked and played well together, and a number of individuals made comments to me along the lines of the following:
- I feel really comfortable working at this hackathon.
- This hackathon is really well-organized.
- I appreciate that this hackathon doesn't require me to do unreasonable things like sleep in this office, or not sleep at all, or expect me to do tequila shots like other hackathons.

I'm sure a team of 4 back-end devs or 4 startup CEOs could have put together a similarly great hackathon. But is that sort of team composition a necessary condition for the event to have been a success? No.

Reladtedly, how funny/sad/appropriate is it that in a discussion involving the exclusion of females from the tech community, someone would protest that teams composed of non-developers should be excluded from organizing hackathons?

"therefore, starting now, waffles are now $450.00 each"
Actually that analogy doesn't hold up all that well. In Star Trek, the Prime Directive applies to populations which have not yet invented the warp drive. Since the gorillas have already shown themselves capable of dismantling snares on their own, they've essentially demonstrated a development level that would make it OK to share "snare dismantling technology" with them.

(Wohoo, Star Trek discussion! On a completely unrelated note: Today sees the US release of Star Trek: TNG season 1 on Blu-ray, which is the result of a remastering effort of unprecedented scale, going back to the original film negatives of live action and VFX elements and essentially repeating most of the post-production process using modern technology - compositing, editing, the works. They've spent a double-digit amount of millions of US dollars remastering season 1 alone, and have dozens of people working in three shifts 24/7 to complete two seasons per year, including several veterans of the original crew. The effect is something as if you had to watch the show through a sheet of smoked, colored glass up to now, when someone has finally taken it away.)
