The competitive pursuit of knowledge is not a dog-eat-dog Darwinian struggle.

This is demonstrably not true in the presence of Firms. Agents in the markets are hierarchies, and the internal competition in a hierarchy is very much darwinian. This second tier of this two-tiered chess game is not without consequence.
Gotta love enyo
I think the comment was more about his stock prediction. It's very easy to make confident claims about the performance of a stock when you're not invested in it yourself. Financial opinions would be a lot more interesting if they were only given by people who followed their own advice to the letter.

Really? I think you're getting things confused

"If you're looking for a fast symbolic math library" you are doing it wrong

In none of the symbolic math Sw I used speed was an issue. But rather, capabilities. (Maple, Mathcad). Of course speed is good when evaluating a numeric problem

If you're talking about numeric math, which is what Theano does, then you're right about it.

I'd say with the quality of music I've seen, people would be willing to pay (month/year) for the service provided he develops it a bit further. Another possibility would be to have referrals to purchase the music like turntable.fm does.
Sure, just setup the UI so that no elements are within 1/4 inch of the edge of the screen so that your fingers don't activate something. Simple.

Looks very nice. My only complaint is that all the JavaScript code is in one file, which makes it a bit harder to casually peruse (I was curious how you implemented the ghosts' AI).

Go is the only other way I would try to do this type of thing. Nginx has the advantage that a lof of people already have it in their stack so adding some bits of Lua incrementally is easy, while with Go you would be adding another piece of infrastructure.

I don't think there are any problems, or that it is error prone. Most people are learning a new language with Lua, so take your choice.
thinkpad's work well.
Interesting - only one vote against (final numbers were 24-1).
> Can't, only Google employees have access to the current version of Android.

Wrong. Google employees have access to source of binaries you don't have access to. If you happen to have the binaries of an unreleased version of Android, you are entitled to the source. At least, all of the parts that are under GPL licenses. Google may or may not release sources for other versions.

> But there is a process for getting commit privileges that doesn't involve job interviews.

Being able to contribute to the upstream is not what defines free software. Being able to fork released software and work on it is. Android passes this test. Also, accepting patches from third parties could open Android to all sorts of litigation. What if a former Microsoft employee contributes leap year handling code from their products? The fact Android phones will crash on every February 29th will be the least of Google's problems.

> That gives me source for old, outdated versions of Android

No. It gives you access to the sources of the Android versions publicly available. Being open source doesn't mean you get access to pre-release versions or to every single commit to the codebase. It means you can have the source code for the binary you have.
In case someone wonders why I thought it's HN-worthy: There are lots of teenagers on HN. I remember a poll from quite a while ago that a good 300 had answered "I'm under 17" or something like that. Now there must be more of them and this might be of interest to them.

What actually got me into programming was a writer (of computer-related topics) praising my absolutely shitty Flash app/game when I was 14 (or maybe 13). It felt really good. Having someone (who is already successful) tell you at that age that you shouldn't care if you're not the best and what matters is how much you try means a great deal. It did, at least to me.

It's really a cliché article, but I'm glad it made it to the front page. Amidst all these Big Co nonsense articles.

It happened to UnrealIRC a few years back. The tarball on their website was adulterated to include a backdoor and the published checksums were altered too. They've since moved to cryptographic signatures for verification.

Possession of marijuana and murder, two completely analogous things. I certainly hope all the people he victimized with his marijuana possession get compensated.
I concur. But it ain't beds of roses with iOS either, especially when you hit blocks with "private APIs", or wanting to do anything more than Apple allows you to. Basically, each platform has its quirks. The problem with Android is, it can afford to have more "tools" to building beautiful android apps.
I don't know anything about Go but your idea sounds feasible.

As another commenter says, there is a large Nginx community and we have a lot of investment in Nginx already. But for somebody starting from scratch it may be worth considering.
I think the guy's platform was a bit more nuanced than just "steal all da things". He DID help provide a service that overwhelmingly assists pirating of of movies/shows/software/music/etc. But their entire platform is that digital can not be contained. I can't say right or wrong, but I can say copying != stealing. But, if you want my address, fine.... you are welcome to exact copies of my stuff as long as the originals remain.
Sovereign immunity is waived in some situations. Tresspass (during execution of a search) is often sue-able. Some courts as well as some members of congress support waiving it for improper seizures as well but it's less clear.
Speaking from the UK perspective, the false idea that maximisation of profit is inferred in any way by corporation law is sometimes more easily seen when examining the case of 'Private' companies. These are companies still limited by shares, or stocks, but where the director, the single shareholder, and the employee are all one and the same person.

It can be a valuable example because it is easy to show how a director making decisions that maximise benefits to the shareholder are not necessarily in the best interests of the company entity, and in fact are viewed with suspicion by regulating bodies.

The best interests of the company include many other considerations besides shareholder return. One of those has to be long term viability for a long lived corporate entity. Eroding goodwill and reputational or brand damage go directly to the heart of the concept of director responsibility.
There was the famous attempt to insert a backdoor in the Linux sourcetree[1]. That wasn't quite the same as it wasn't a pull request (or equivalent), was instead done by directly modifying the CVS mirror of the BitKeeper sourcetree.

I'm really surprised he was on an "international wanted list", I mean come on you don't have to agree/disagree that piirate bay is good/bad but I'm sure that if you kill your neighbor and leave the country you won't be on such list and it would be able real people, here it's about digital good (but it also affects real people) nevertheless I really think it's too much
I wish Microsoft would be castigated for their aggressive use of mostly BS patents as well. Apple wins a one time only $1 billion payment, but Microsoft is getting to the point where they might get $1 billion from the companies using Android every 2 years or even every year if Android keeps getting even more successful. Is that right? Would it seem right if Microsoft did this to companies using Linux? They are even going after companies using ChromeOS.
Why isn't there a bigger outrage towards them? Is it because they take the money in small bites compared to Apple? Is that how they get under the radar? They are making Android cost almost as much as their full phone OS license, thanks to a bunch of patents. That's not right.
I don't see the connection between driving and "living my life as a human being", or the connection between riding in an automated vehicle and "having my balls cut".

Human identity has nothing to do with driving. I can't wait until I don't have to do it anymore.
Our main goal is to avoid passing requests upstream to Rails, which has massive performance penalties (TCP/IP, probably multiple database hits, web servers written in Ruby).

By keeping everything non-blocking and inside the Nginx event loop, and cutting the upstream out entirely, we are making a massive saving on each request. This definitely outweighs a small performance penalty incurred for using LuaJIT.
Among human-readable adresses, .bit/NameCoin could be better but it isn't too bad. Something like half of all BitCoin miners are also part of the NameCoin network now, so it's more secure than you'd imagine given its actual adoption.
how abt porting it android? using trigger.io!!
i guess it would be super cool.
I wouldn't be surprised if that 25m user claim is as true as the WSJ one.

don't buy ASUS if you're a programmer because of their newer keyboard layout (right_shift, up button, Fn button are aligned)

my right pinky, instead of punching right_shift, always accidently press up button (in vim it's mutable, but in console it throws me out of flow every time)

Older ASUS are fine, they have big, wide right_shift button
If the author is going to use the word 'frequent' so frequently, he should at least learn how to spell it. I'm just sayin'.
Failing to merge? I dunno, if you look at the changelog it's the past 10,000 commits plus one of his at the end.
Do you have a source for the ChromeOS claim? I would be really pissed about that.

I have a Toshiba Portege Z835 (13", thins, SSD) and am very happy with it. Everything works under Ubuntu, including suspend/resume, changing screen brightness and volume with function keys and that stuff. The build quality is not the toughest, but it's pretty cheap, too.
"But it wasn’t until I noticed that Oxford comma that it all suddenly became very clear. That’s not right. That couldn’t be the Wall Street Journal." (From OP)

Does anybody know why an Oxford comma would be a signal that the quote isn't from the WSJ?

I've always found that using an oxford comma ("red, black, and blue" instead of "red, black and blue") is just common sense.

Separation by comma is a concrete indication that the items on the list are separated, which is useful in situations where the last two items could mean something different if not separated ("black and blue" has it's own special connotations, whereas "black, and blue" doesn't).
"Anyway you slice it, he's no better than the Russian mobsters that steal credit card numbers."

That's incorrect. He is better than the Russian mobsters that steal credit card numbers. I have presented as much evidence and analysis for my conclusion as you did, so they must be equally valid.

"If you think everything should be free, then please leave your address so I can help myself to your stuff."

I am happy to describe to you something I own so that you can make a copy of it. Gosh, it's almost as if copying something isn't actually the same as taking a physical object from someone.
It is sad that with that much money they largely didn't deliver anything and then left the project to be maintained by the community.
Early days with app.net
HS student here:

We have a good collective of students who hang out after class ends every couple days to discuss & practice Cyber Security. The unfortunate problem is that the majority of the guys overshadow the girls so much in regards to behavior that we have to do similar motivational runs to keep people in that deserve to be there. At least where I'm at, there's an air of disrespect that constantly has to get pushed back, lest the truly inspired people leave out of boredom or hatred for it.

Thanks!
It looks like there was an attempt to copy at least some of the original AI behavior. If you click on the "Learn" tab, you can choose which ghost to play and visually see their AI objectives via a little node that travels infront of the ghost's body.
As you probably know, each ghost had their own AI objective and behavior in the original arcade Pac-Man. While their movement's appeared random, they were actually not, and you could exploit each ghost's "weakness" to win.
PHP is the perfect showcase of how good languages are not sum of features at all. I don't think you can fix PHP just adding stuff that it lacks. It can be improved in this way as, at least, it is possible for a good programmer to pick a subset of features that makes the language less a pain to use, but I wish PHP could start changing in a "let's redesign it" way.

Disclaimer: I'm a big fan of PHP, not because I like the language, but because I like the pragmatic approach.
Might have something to do with the $1 million dollar fine rather than the 1yr sentence.

Not sure, but possibly by attempting to insert a malicious commit into the history and rebase everything else over it.
He would have had better luck hiding in the US, IMO. A white guy in a largely non-white country sticks out like a sore thumb, especially a fugitive. Rescinding use of his various online accounts, utilizing cash and public transportation as well as altering his appearance and working on his accent, he would've easily blended into the masses here. LE has a hard enough time tracking down some serious domestic offenders as it is.

"Having built an impressive resume at Google and charming the then 23-year old Mark Zuckerberg into making her COO, Sandberg took control of the monetization strategy at Facebook"

Mincing words over what this man did is cowardice. Patrick Dobson is a piece of shit. He slandered a successful person to make a name for himself by implying a woman didn't earn her job but instead charmed her way into it. All to further his own name. He isn't clever, or risk-taking, or gaming the system.

He's simply a piece of shit. A terrible person. His apology is trying to cover up the fact that he did something completely unprofessional and immoral and passed it off like a traffic generation strategy.

If you see his apology and think "Oh, well I'm glad he apologized" you're only encouraging disgusting behaviour.

And that doesn't even get into the fact that he's either incompetent or a liar or both.

I've noticed the same drift. To combat this I've developed a twitch, when drift starts my left thumb swipes the trackpad. This zeros the trackpoint and stops the drift.
What I meant is just because bad person A has opinion X, it does not invalidate opinion X. So just because Sexist A is skeptic it does not follow that every skeptic is sexist.

As I said in another comment: if he can not even avoid basic logical fallacies, he probably never was a very good skeptic to begin with.
Well said. This reminds me a bit of what pg had to say at:

If you can just avoid dying, you get rich. That sounds like a joke, but it's actually a pretty good description of what happens in a typical startup. It certainly describes what happened in Viaweb. We avoided dying till we got rich.

Maybe?

But doesn't most of the sw we're talking about do both? For example, you mentioned Maple, which says right on its website it does both: http://www.maplesoft.com/products/maple/features/feature_det... Theano also does both. But maybe I'm using the terminology wrong? Or maybe it doesn't matter?

Either way, Theano is fast and is similar to (but not exactly!) SymPy.
