I'm not really sure I see the advantage of the glasses over an ordinary smartphone for the stadium scenario. I am not missing anything by doing it on the phone due to the fact that the augmented reality of the replay is already taking up most of my vision.

For me, the jogging scenario of a heads up display makes the glasses very appealing to me as I would love to see a heads up of how my jog is going and distance to go etc.

I'd be pleased if I could just use my smartphone to control the glasses. The touch screen would act as a touchpad/keyboard, and the glasses as the display.

For that reason, I also like the Lumus glasses more than Google Glass, at least at the moment: it seems like they'll provide a better experience (also I don't care for the camera feature, which Glass is pushing)...

Oracle Bows to Watchdog Over ‘Misleading’ IBM Claims
With a reasonable save system, the system behaves exactly the same as it does now, only save games aren't corrupted if power is lost in the middle of saving. It makes the device work more like a reliable appliance, not less.

There would still be an indicator whenever the game is saving, the game just wouldn't throw away potentially hundreds of hours of investment if power is unexpectedly lost in the middle of a routine (and frequent) save.

Hell, I'd be happy if it was just an option, so that clever devs whose saves don't take up much space can implement journaling and don't have to display the warning, but those that will lose their shit when power is lost do. It sounds like the existing console certification processes won't even allow that.
You are correct, of course, but it seems to me that the only reason for thus situation with HTA is that it never took off and MS dumped its further development. Which makes me wonder if these kinds of technologies simply have no future whatsoever, or are yet to be accepted by the mainstream.
I mostly agree with the spirit of your comment.

But to nitpick a bit:

While most compilers today build an AST, it's by no means true that all do. Some very influential compilers through history explicitly does not.

E.g. Niklaus Wirth's languages, such as Pascal and Oberon are explicitly designed so that they can easily be compiled with single pass compilers that call the code generator to emit code from the parser instead of going via an AST, because he as more concerned with small easily understandable compilers than complex optimizations.

It's not nearly as common as it was, but it was a fairly widespread practice in compilers for languages where it is possible back when memory and disk space was still in short supply.

It's also not true that all compilers tokenize by any meaningful interpretation. While e.g. Wirth's Pascal-P compiler arguably tokenize, compact recursive descent compilers for languages with as small grammar as Wirth's languages can and often do blur the lines significantly, or have no tokenization as a separate step from the parser at all.
The website indicates that lamdbas are supported:

'Any additional unconverted code that gets executed within the VM, such as eval or lambda functions will go through the same process before being executed.'

Or did I miss anything?
Hm, this opens the door to integrating server and client side code more closely.
For instance now we can 'share' validation rules in Forms with client side PHP scripts (the argument some people use to recommend server side JavaScript).
I would really like that.
Perspective App: Exploring, Creating, and Sharing Audiovisual Stories
My understanding is that games on the current generation of consoles are assumed to corrupt your save if power is lost while saving. The response from the certification process of these consoles is to warn the user about this every time every game starts rather than to require a robust save system.
EU edges toward dropping Google 'abuse of dominance' charges
Anyone got a link to a copy of the letter? A nearly 10 minute video of someone reading the letter is inefficient and makes it hard to go back and forth over the content--and from what I saw before I gave up on this video, the host is interspersing his commentary with the reading of the letter, making it even more annoying.
The app (and platform) was recently featured by Horace Dedidu (Asymco) in his 5by5 podcast:

It's more along the lines of an international lab. Many, perhaps most, of the academics working there are still employed by their home institutions and are funded just as if they were working in a lab in their own university.

Very interesting topic and I completely agree with the article...

I've been working in IT for many years now, and out of the hundreds of people I've met in many different areas of many different companies, constantly having to work with and under mediocrity, and I've only met a single person who was the real deal.

Lots of people can talk the talk, but lets be serious now? How many people can actually progress beyond that to achieve real tangible results that show a clear display of excellence as opposed to mediocrity? The numbers are quite small in comparison to the human population I'm sure.

When the majority of people in any given profession are mediocre, finding excellence is more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack, unfortunately this is a problem in every profession.
First thing first, design it's the opposite of codding. Codding (as far as I know) is like math : 1+1=2 and there is no other way around. In design, for one project, there are plenty of way to make it.
You need to learn the basis of the colors, what there mean, how to use it together, witch colors goes together and witch does not. Do the same with de shapes. Then tries to analyse good design and why they are good. A bit of art history is good too if you want to go further.
After that, it's mostly experience and feeling.

Yes you're right, but the code I posted above still doesn't work. It works fine with PHP 5.4 though. This also fails with the same error message:

$fn = function() { echo 'foo'; };

But that's also perfectly valid PHP 5.4 code. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, idk.

Don't agree at all. I've been in this business since 2000 - in teams that shipped for PSX, DC, PS2, XBOX, GC, 360, PS3, WII - The rules are there for many other reasons:

- Backward compatibility. For example it was not allowed on PSX to use certain tricks to draw the triangles faster, as future emulators would've had problems with that.

- Save systems. Made for not yet smart kids, not so smart parents. The save system has to be robust, so much that it has to write exactly how many blocks it's gonna write - you are buying a memory card, you need to know how much is going in there.

- DVD/CD-ROM/BluRay speeds. You can't just stream tons of things and expect to work. You also need to consider where/how your data is, and how you react to I/O errors - it's different per consoles. Also how you handle multiple disk games.

- No frame rate hitching (yes, more allowable nowadays), but in the past - severe frame hitches would've made your certification not possible. After all, on all consoles ever released the code is running in ring 0 - the game code runs along with whatever is there that serves as a kernel. And there is reason for that - maximum hardware explotation (which also takes years to learn)

- Security - just think about this - how easy is to steal non-console game data. It's much harder on the consoles. Yes people eventually break them. But nothing is easier than unzipping .IPA iphone file.

- Size of the games. Really - As much as I love my new Nexus 7, my dear iPad, by humble TouchPad, and my fancy PlayBook - there has been none AAA games shipped there. Infinity Blade is very close, but not AAA (too short).

- The biggest game for mobiles have not yet reached 1GB, while console games have been shipping sometimes 10GB of data, for older consoles.

- Why this is important? - You can QA an indie game much faster, and easier (check progression breaks), than AAA title.

- Multiplayer, scoreboards, etc. - This is where the life of the new console experience is. Cheating here is the plague, and makes players go away. Certification is there to help, but not isolate problems.

- And most of all - no audio hitching (yes, unlike many modern PC games).

- Let's not forget - localization, safety zones (no swastika in German), etc. French correctly hyphenated, etc.

There are many fine details, that would bring an indie title into AAA. Most obvious is content, but overall stability, much less perceived bugs (It's possible that AAA game ships with much more bugs than indie, but then again it's played by much more people/hours).

TRC's are good. They save in long term both the publisher, and the console manifacturer.
Interior Design Ideas
For technical skills, I would recommend using Photoshop for web/ui design. Unfortunately at the moment it's the best out there. Some good things to seek out are adjustment layers and layer effects. Bjango has some great tutorials, although they are focused on UI design: http://bjango.com/articles/

In terms aesthetics, the most import thing is to develop your 'design palate'. Seek out excellent craftsmanship and learn to distinguish it from the mediocre. An excellent place to start is SiteInspire: http://siteinspire.com/

I would also recommend learning the fundamentals of design. Typography and grid systems are very important study areas. A great place to start is this forum thread: http://www.designerstalk.com/forums/graphic-design/42390-des...

For empirical testing of designs, I would highly recommend Lukas Mathis' Designed for Use: http://pragprog.com/book/lmuse/designed-for-use Be warned however that the print version is horridly designed, just get the .epub to bypass the ugly formatting.

And always have in the back of your mind: 'less is more'. Just because you've learned how to do fancy gradients, reflections and rounded corners, doesn't mean you should.
I have a love-hate relationship with London. It's crowded, dirty, unfriendly, expensive, the weather is bad (like the rest of the UK) and the taxes are high (unless you are from NW Europe). That said, I keep coming back here. It's the best place for work experience, and full of opportunity. It's hard work, nothing is easy here, but if you put in the effort you get the reward.

I find it's kinda cheap. 2000$ per year... looks more like recruitment marketing without too much commitment, than an actual initiative for the well-beings of the employees.

I like to think "do things right, or don't do them". In that case, I'd prefer if Amazon would go all the way and give maybe, 5..8k$, or give nothing at all.

2k$ a year, that's really not much. I like the initiative, I was reading it and thinking "Hum, this is interesting and nice" until I got to the "huh what?" of the 2k$ line.
$ git add .

Wait, what? No!

This will add the whole venv, which contains symlinks, scripts with shebangs, and potential binaries, and as such is totally linked to your system, so this definitely breaks if your python ends up in another location or you're entirely on another OS.

What should be done is

virtualenv env --no-site-packages
echo "/env" >> .gitignore
pip freeze > requirements.txt

So when you want to restore/deploy you'd do

git clone foo
cd foo
virtualenv env --no-site-packages
source ./env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

I'm not even considering the issues regarding the presented git workflow. If one wants to semi-automate a git workflow, one would rather use git-flow instead of this prepare_deployment hack.

The circles of marketing
Personally I think that the control will be a mix of things, but the obvious primary control system is using your eyes - there already exists technology for having a computer mouse tracking your eyes, with gestures (e.g. extra long stare) to click. It's mainly used for making it possible for paraplegics to control computers at the moment.

The technique uses either a camera or a low-intensity laser directed at the eyes to determine the direction of the users gaze, and then trigonometry to determine where at the screen the user is looking.

I think a lot of people find it comforting. Internet forums admittedly attract bullies in the form of trolls, astroturfers and people who are just plain mean. I agree in principle with a moderation system, but to have a secret moderation system, with no transparency and no recourse is susceptible to corruption and abuse, like any secret system is.

At any rate, those who find it comforting that 'big brother' is keeping the comments safe for them will stay around, and those with dissenting views will be banned to oblivion and eventually leave, making the community a small selection of people who both agree with the philosophy, and find it uncomfortable to deal with views that challenge their philosophy.

This is very similar to what happened in Academia in the past 30 years, and succeeded in pushing out all of the interesting, eccentric and creative people, leaving only those who knew the party line, and moderated their speech accordingly. I think this is not healthy for creativity, but then, that's just my opinion, and obviously the forum owner/moderators disagree.

Great Idea! Can't wait to see it gain more content.

A couple of suggestions based on my quick test of the site:

- Have the author's name next to the book title (possibly clickable to get a list of other books by the author)

- Please separate Sci-Fi and Fantasy! They're completely different genres that too often get grouped together. Presumably because the fan base seems to cross over quite a bit.

Anyway, Good luck and I hope the site is a success!
Ask HN: how to find a good mentor?
I feel I need one, especially as I'm going to try and do my first real startup, but I don't know where to find such a person.

1) Where do you find this kind of people? Incubators? Posh parties? Shared work spaces? Networking?

2) Should the mentor be a person highly experienced? Or just more experienced than me?

3) I know it's a bidirectional exchange so I have to provide something to have it. How is this really working?

4) And in time scale, how much does a good mentor follow his protegé?

Thanks for any suggestion!
It's true, my code is longer because it computes an explicit continued fraction representation (and also because it's not written as two generator scripts).
