Ask HN: I got Raspberry Pi. Now what can I do with it?
My Raspberry Pi arrived yesterday. I tested out the Raspbian and Archlinux on it and it's pretty cool. So what all can/should I do with it now?
Yes. Did you use it for your job?

How many hours did you use it?

Well worth the $50

In my experience, this is common among "creative" types.

Their own interpretation of what should be is fact in their minds. The book is to be lent this way, the message of the story is this and the character is to be interpreted this way.
While I backed this project and think its sorely needed to allow software developers access to the console platforms, I think the design of the controller was rather disappointing. I figured if they were going to create a new hardware platform it would have a more revolutionary form factor.

The controller hasn't changed since the mid-1980s. Almost all the game console makers make the same damned controllers with exception to the Wii there's been almost no innovation.

It's about time to rethink the standard controller design. I'm not talking about game-specific controllers, like the gun or joystick. I think there needs to be something more attached to actual human body movements.

I know this project was about an open game console, but I think this creates the opportunity for innovation in hardware accessories (i.e. the controller). I think we could do a lot better than the same old formula:

Up+Down+Left+Right A+B+X+Y R1+R2+L1+L2 Select+Start (ALL BUTTONS)
So, they're large enough and, in aggregate, young enough to affordably self-fund de facto term life insurance.

At my last corporate gig, I received a certain amount "for free" and could purchase roughly equivalent coverage for something like $50 or $100 a year additional out of pocket.

Not to put it down, necessarily. But non-Googlers may already have access to something comparable.

P.S. The term life insurance pays a lump sum up front. OTOH, it typically excludes certain high-risk activities and perhaps some other stuff that may have you talking to a lawyer to sort out who owes you what, in some niche cases.

U.S. Should Adopt Education First
If anything I'd say you have it backwards; the kind of structure you describe (and the very phrase "full stack") is a very silicon valley/startup thing. It's larger, more traditional software shops that tend to slice the stack into separate vertical layers and give different people responsibility for each.

Of course there are many companies large and small that do it differently. But having someone whose responsibility includes client-side javascript but not server-side code is not by any means unusual outside the valley, at least IME.
Didn't Opera have such configurable info a few years ago when the browser was still displaying ads? They stopped doing it, I guess the advertisers weren't happy with it, or too many people entered fictional info that never matched the advertisers' targeting prefs (99 years old granny from Azerbaijan...).
You mean 5000 times over? This assumes, however, that if you didn't have TextMate, you wouldn't earn anything at all (and would still work full time). If you paid for it, only used it at work, and it made no contribution to your earnings, it wouldn't pay for itself at all, except in terms of your own happiness.

That would be a moot point, unless we are considering cost to setup the manufacturing infrastructure. Someone is going to have to make it.
Show HN: My weekend project, conversation starters via SMS
A week with the Erlang language, which will enable to write projects that would be on par or better than anything written in node.js as far as resilient and scalability.

Probably another week to get up to speed with OTP for all the promises of resilient Erlang applications.

What is often missed about Erlang is that it's not really about highly concurrent applications. That property is actually a means to accomplish its primary goal: fault-tolerant applications.

See: http://www.erlang.org/download/armstrong_thesis_2003.pdf
to understand the motives of the Erlang designers.

"navel-gazing unproductive carebears"

I haven't heard that sort of insult since I disconnected from the online gaming community. It's not appropriate in most any context, including this one.
Needs to be at least (reverse) adjusted by number of athletes per country (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Summer_Olympics#Sorted_by_...).

This would reduce anomalies like Great Britain submitting approx. same number of atheletes as US, yet being less than a 6th in population size.

I doubt there is a way to adjust for submissions per sport and not sure it would be wise anyway since specialism can be viewed as a fair competitive advantage even if it suits the industralized or countries with older Olympic history more.

Kindles read PDFs, right? I haven't seen a mass-market book released in years that doesn't wind up as a PDF in a torrent.

There's no reason to be frustrated. Even vinyl-only releases end up digital. Some enterprising soul will scratch your itch.
The driver for not paying attention, same as now. A road painting might be a distraction, but it will only panic you if you see it at the last moment - which should only happen if you weren't watching where your speeding, multi-ton, flammable transportation machine was going on a residential street.

The two Textmate posts would make more sense with eachothers' titles.
Right, this is no different than it would be programming on current Python with the GIL. There are two different levels of locking in current Python implementations: locks within the implementation of the interpreter (the GIL for cpython and current pypy, or all the micro-locks in Jythin), and the locks accessible from the Python environment by Python programmers (e.g., the locks in the threading module: http://docs.python.org/library/threading.html#lock-objects ). The pypy STM project attempts to replace the first set to allow for simultaneous multi-core use while making it seem to the programmer like the GIL is still there, but if the programmer needs things like a specific execution order, it will need to managed by hand, the same way it always has.
I don't want to pick on Allan Odgaard, but I think the way he's handled the TM2 project is pretty bad.

Allen is a great guy and I love TM. However, here are some facts. TM2 has taken SIX YEARS. It was "90% done" 2009.

This is a living, breathing case study in why quick customer-driven releases are better than "big upfront plans" and "giant system rewrites." Anyone who has developed a major application knows what I'm talking about. These "big rewrites" almost always take much longer than expected, as has clearly happened here.

I have learned to listen to what your customers want, and just build it. Develop it in a few weeks, release it, and then ask again what your customers want. Some people call it "customer-driven development" and I think that's a good way of phrasing it.
I would use this if it didn't have a giant IE logo on it.
where can i download the precompiled app?
Much more interesting to think about is what you can do that exploits the properties of this. The two big ones seems to be insane speed and curved surfaces. Could this be used to rapidly build bunkers or bridges in a war? How about rome style aquaducts to channel water from a flood or even to simply build dikes in an emergency? Maybe the speed would maybe make previous expensive projects cheap such as massive water irrigation projects. Could printing curved surfaces let you print temporary dam's?

Edit: or how about printing your very own pyramid or a road?

> by issuing the instructions for multiple iterations in parallel

Unless you actually do something in the loop body, all modern superscalar HW would be bottlenecked on the writes, making multiple iterations impossible. For example, SNB has 5 main execution ports -- two agus, 3 alus, and it can do either of 2 reads or 1 read + 1 write in a single cycle. This means that if you are storing something every cycle, for each cycle you can do 3 instructions without slowing down the loop. Also, if the jump instruction is immediately preceded by the alu instruction that generates the flags for it, they get fusioned into a single instruction, meaning you don't need to count the jmp as an instruction.

> The rollback machinery in branch speculation hardware can only handle a limited number of branches

This used to be more of a problem before modern PRF cpus -- with PRF, recovery from branch miss is much cheaper (it's essentially the copy of 17 8-bit pointers), so Sandy Bridge and later can typically handle more in-flight branches than their pipeline length, so confirmations of branch predictions shouldn't ever stall you unless you use division to get the flags or something.
True. I just hope the day doesn't come when you can't run non-App Store signed binaries. That would be a dark day for users.
Just paid for it 3 weeks ago, and it's worth it.Because in my opinion, there's not so much editor can have TextMate's low learning curve.

Better teachers.

I'm sorry but, using my mother as an example, in a single year, my mother elevated inner-city students in English from very low scores to very high scores. I'd need to ask her for specifics; but, the change was incredible. I believe they were getting near highest marks in the area. She demanded a LOT from the students, a truly incredible amount of writing and work. She was very, very hard on her students; but at the same time rewarded achievement greatly and taught in an effective, repetitive way. Years down the road, her old students have repeatedly come back to her, thanking her for her work with them. It is all about the teachers.

If people are sufficiently interested in her method, I might be able to get her to log in to my account (or one of her own), and expound upon her methods of training and relating to the children.

Google Will Pay $22.5 Million to Settle FTC Charges Regarding Apple Safari
Haha I did pretty much the same thing back in school.

We also randomly had permissions to terminate running programs on other computers over the network for a year or two. That was fun times until the lab teachers learned to start looking for people with black console windows open. But then I just learned to change the console colors to black text on white to throw them off.
I worked for Pulte shortly after they purchased the South Florida homebuilder Divosta. A 3d printer needs to overcome many of the same hurdles Divosta encountered. Among these is that the pace of construction is determined by capital investment in equipment and so seasonal and cyclical variations in demand cannot be accommodated efficiently by scaling capacity up or down quickly relative to conventional construction.

Furthermore, the article takes a naive view of a construction schedule:

"It would build the house in such a way that you’d only need to put the windows and the doors in the cutouts that have been left by the huge construction robot."

If there are no windows or doors, a building isn't dried in. That means that domestic equipment and finishes (e.g. Kitchen appliances, gypsum celings, most types of flooring, and trim) are not yet installed. And the process of finishing a building takes more than half the time.

Now, one might argue that the system is intended for places requiring basic shelter such as poverty stricken areas of the developing world (thereby avoiding finishes) All I can say is that the history of high tech construction systems in such places does not lead me to be optimistic. Lack of infrastructure and cheap labor tend to create market conditions favoring other approaches.

Manufactured housing was an ongoing project throughout the last century, and an optimized solution was found. Unfortunately, it is the drop dead unsexy house trailer.

[Edit] After watching the video, it is clear that the system requires a specialized concrete mix - one with very low slump in order that a freshly deposited layer does not just flow off the top of previously deposited layers.

This makes conventional delivery via truck from batch plant more difficult. Low slump mixes tend to have proportionally shorter working times making traffic delays or delays on the construction site lead to higher waste by the mixer truck load. In addition specialized mixes require additional coordination by the batch plant.

In addition, the environmental impact of concrete is high in terms of greenhouse gas emissions compared to wood or steel.
Yes. Do you feel something was misrepresented? Did you not get what you paid for somehow?

This is going to be a mess initially. So far there has been a pull request changing the license, and issues such as "Improve syntax highlighting performance. It sucks much compared to Chocolat or Textmate 1 currently."
This is not something to be celebrated. It's an embarrassment and it encourages the same behavior in others.
That is a terrible way to measure utility, there are so many other factors to consider.

I use my keyboard for work constantly, but it is not worth more than maybe $10 to me.
5,000 times, and that's only if you hold TextMate responsible for the entire income. A more informative valuation of TextMate would be to compare your productivity with it versus a free alternative such as Emacs, vim or Eclipse. It may well be worth much more than $50 to you, and therefore a great deal, but probably nothing like a 5,000X ROI.

If they are trading any stocks at all, they will be using essentially the same systems as HF traders. Any big broker-dealer ('big' in terms of quantity of orders processed) will be a high frequency trader by definition, because they aggregate large quantities of customer order flow, process it rapidly, and send the orders out in rapid succession.
Because evolution and climate change are well documented theories backed by studies conducted using accepted methods. Although they are considered theories, they are theories in the same sense that we have the theory of gravity.

Just because certain religions or political parties try to deny facts does not mean that scientists and engineers can pretend that the truth is something other than what it is.

TextMate 2 could still be distributed outside the Mac App Store, as a signed binary (with a certificate issued by Apple), and regular users wouldn’t need to change the default settings to run it.

You only need to change settings (or right-click and hit Open) if you are running unsigned binaries.
> "Being given incorrect information, and making mistakes, and not knowing you've made mistakes, is not a useful learning technique."

W3Schools has pointed out that users take a risk with its content, and it made no claim over the quality of its code. The only element they have authority over is its clarity, and that is what's important. The information may be lacking, but I stick by my guns when I say that crap code can still make some concept that a tutorial revolves around clearer. If other elements are not relevant to the tutorial, I do not believe it is fair to blame the author for excluding them.
I feel ST2 is healthily past "good enough" as a Mac application. For examples of punting on that responsibility completely, look at JetBrains stuff or MonoDevelop.
I paid a year or so ago, whenever the Textmate 2 beta came out for Textmate owners.

I've gotten far more than $50 out of having access to Textmate 2 during that time.

I don't feel miffed at all.

This reminded me of the formation of "The Rotters" band:

Instead of saying:
"We are forming a band and looking for a drummer."
they changed it to:
"We have a band and need a drummer."

The second approach worked for them, while the first failed.

At the risk of being obnoxious: The client(s) sounds like a bunch of airheads. They were too dumb to see they are getting the same product with slightly different packaging. They remind me of my idiot relatives and their retail buying habits. But, at least you are making more money to put with garbage like that.
I've been wondering the same thing. Best idea so far is to run a buildbot on it, but that seems like a waste of its abilities.

I apologize for the headline, where I carelessly used the term "DNS config" incorrectly. I was hoping instead for the actual explanation for this. The web apps they've deployed for publicizing the Mars landing are extremely well done, and certainly took a tremendous amount of effort and money. They obviously have a huge commitment to a strong and polished web presence.

So really it's mystifying to me that they leave "nasa.gov" unreachable.

When you say "the two hostnames point at two pieces of infrastructure", "nasa.gov" only has MX records. There isn't existing "nasa.gov" infrastructure, at least on the open internet, to be redirected.

Since they do have to host "nasa.gov" separately due to the akamai thing, we're talking a moderate set of EC2 instances which do nothing more than send a 302 redirect including path info to www.nasa.gov. It's a couple of lines of mod_rewrite. The load on the instances, which could be high due to many visitors, would still be limited by the fact that unique visitors would only hit it once, or perhaps a small initial handful of times, per session. The total amount of bandwidth for 302 redirects is very small.

It's not zero effort, and requires some hosting. But I'm not yet clear on why the "implementation and ongoing operational costs" aren't microscopic compared to those which they spend on an app like the "Eyes on the Solar System" application (http://eyes.nasa.gov/).

I would also second the feedback that requiring an email is undesirable. I know you are doing it so you can count reach and demographics easier and eventually sell those eyeballs or market research. We all need to eat. I get it. However! There is fatigue from needing to log into free services, especially when there are alternatives racing to the bottom with less friction.

You may grow your userbase faster by encouraging early adopters like those who visit this site to use the product. I also believe that the sign-up stopped >50% of the CTRs. I would recommend removing the requirement to sign-up now. Just $0.02 from yet another joe on the internet... :)
