That's an interesting Firefox logo you're displaying. Rather than featuring the generic "Planet Mozilla" globe, it appears to be using a map of Earth centered on Japan. The fox looks a bit sleeker as well.

Do you have any plans to provide historic pricing data? At the moment It seems like only the letting agents really know what the 'market rates' are and naturally this puts them at an advantage.
I really like how you sickness on the subject leads to the most passive-aggressive and condescending statement in just one sentence. I'd love to see the patent system changed but I think it's about time we stop thinking Apple customers are fanboys (and that there are "millions" of them) or that everyone else's are not.

Regarding Washington, last time I check Apple was not even close to be the company that invest more money in lobbying. I don't know what is your base for "rather well connected" but if you have any evidence on this, it will be great to know.
I bought this one and it is pretty cool: http://adafruit.com/products/306

A little bit more expensive though, because it has a microcontroller every 6cm.
Usually you short because you think a stock is overpriced and you have good reasons for that. Chinese companies are also often incredibly opaque, making them good targets.
I saw that on David Gerard's Facebook wall. Slashdot is sadly on the wane.
Go is not sequential, but concurrent. It has built-in primitives for handling concurrency, witness the `go` keyword. It also has special syntax for doing selective receive over channels, which in turn means that the concurrency of that language is definitely not "bolted on" in the sense I meant.

Perhaps you are confusing my definition of "sequential" with yours. I tend to use "sequential" as the opposite of "concurrent" like I have another, orthogonal, axis for "serial"/"parallel". So you can be serial/concurrent (Node.js is close to this. So is a 4.4BSD OS without any SMP support). And you can be sequential/parallel (GPUs is my preferred example).
if you look at the comments, there seems to be a lot of negative views of Tatsuya Abe. Anyone from Japan (or know about Rakuten) can comment why?
That argument is a little circular. If a platform has significant market share, apps get ported to that platform. If not, it doesn't matter.

Before there were Web apps, all software makers wrote apps for multiple platforms. Porting to a platform has a cost, but, for a successful software company, not a relatively large cost. Even unprofitable platforms are likely to be supported by some software makers as a way of erecting barriers to entry, or to speculate on the future success of that platform.

Users will expect all the features of their platform to be well-supported in their apps.
Yeah, most major ones

Not trying to be awkward or anything, but why would you use GAE without using all the technologies that lock you in to it?

If you write a "vanilla" application which can run on GAE and other platforms without significant work, then I don't see how you'd get much benefit from GAE itself, but I might be missing something.

Ask HN: Created a PHP Debugger. Would you use it?
For the past months I have been working on what's going to be a stand-alone PHP xdebug debugger app, the first one to actually implement pretty much all the features that an IDE debugger has but without the heavy resources usage, and actually fun to use.

Here's a screenshot of the work so far: http://imgur.com/hP9pF bare in mind that this is still a work in progress and I have yet to finish some features and interface design.

What it currently does:

- You can use it by just enter "xdebug_break()" in your code. It will automatically get your source code and stack, and u are ready to go.

- OR you can just Set/remove breakpoints like a regular debugger

- Change variables at runtime

- Eval

- File map to your local folders in case you don't want it to download the remote source code

- Editor with themes

So what do you think guys ?
Is this something you would like to use instead of an IDE debugger ?
I know this is just a screenshot but it's no ready for sale yet.

I'm expecting to have RC by the end of the month, with a new polished layout (working on it atm) and bug free.

I also need some beta testers in case anyone is interested. I will offer a free license when V1 is released to anyone who helped me out.

Sure - we'd see no reason to hide that. In fact, it's the kind of data that landlords will find very useful when pricing their property, so it's clearly in our interests to provide it.

Having said that, at our current scale, it's not going to be interesting enough. Once we hit the right numbers, and I'm not sure what that is yet, we will look to release these figures and create a tool for landlords.
Great! Java detection would be a really nice feature. Further detail in OS versions would be pretty useful as well.
'best defence, no be there'

linked lists are seldom the right answer, contiguous blocks of memory are cache - and therefore algorithm - friendly.

the stl performance is usually quite easy to beat in special cases as well (i.e. all game code). some stls are terrible as well - the ms one is riddled with locks and all sorts of sledgehammer thread safety measures, which you just don't need if you know which bits of code are threaded and which arent.

I have to think about it all the time. It flatly fails to serve my gaming club. We have a Gb of card images for our card games. Almost every club member cannot share these files, since they run out of space.

Think about it. Sharing files between 25 club members, using our own bandwidth, our own disk space. And Dropbox thinks we should pay them big bucks for this. For what? Storing our files on their server, insecurely? If they had an option to stop doing that, I would select it.

SO no, it doesn't solve any hard problems for us.

Repeating myself a bit, but this article with embedded jsfiddle, Bret Victor (http://worrydream.com/), and ipython notebook work. The distance between communication/education and execution is getting smaller and smaller. Symbolically flipping the debugging coin on both of its side at the same time.
Wow! This has really come along since last time! I'm very, very impressed with what you have done here!
That was the difference for me, too. If I took notes at all it wasn't in one place (a mix of text files and iOS notes for me). Switching to Byword and a single file was faster and I was more consistent about jotting notes down no matter where I was.

More importantly, I didn't have any habit for reviewing them. Hope it helps you like it helped me!

> The population density is so low because the country is so damned big

Eh. Yes. That's the point. There's plenty of space. Somehow places with vastly higher population densities still manage just fine.

The problem is not lack of space, nor that zoning regulations prevents you from putting up highrises in someones backyard in Menlo Park, but the focus on concentrating more and more people in tiny little parts of it.

The more ridiculous part of it is that a lot of the reason why those specific locations are attractive to a lot of people is exactly the character that would be irreversibly altered if you were to massively increase the density.

I really like this idea. I once had a similar idea for the US market and did quite a bit of research. I spoke to bunch realestate agents about it and almost all give me thumbs down. They were probably afraid technology could ruined their career but some of the points they shared where eye opening. It only made me realize that unless one of those biggest realestate firms back you in this pursuit, it will be hard as hell to get all these realestate agents out of jobs.

This site has been running for more than five years. Trust me, the overwhelming majority of users who can downvote aren't mods, they're not even regular participants in the conversation; they're probably mostly lurkers who submit decent articles.

Your comments are mostly flip, and provide little value. That's why they get downvoted; you're trying to be funny and by the community standards you're not.
What the article has not mentioned (may be not big in UK, since this is from wired.co.uk) is that they also own Linkshare, one of the biggest affiliate networks. On its own owning Linkshare is impressive, but combined with Pinterest, you can see the impact of it on online affiliate-driven commerce.

7:05 AM PST Github down - investigating database problems
https://status.github.com/
It takes surprisingly few hits to knock a fragile web site down, although I'm sure that's way lower than from peak too. Most common is poorly configured WordPress installations which will fall over in the slightest breeze. For a minor comparison, a Daring Fireball link was worth about 20,000 hits/day or 50,000 hits over a weekend last time I got one, and DF knocks down sites with some regularity.
But the sex itself, is it that much different than "real" sex? Are there really that many people having boring sex to make the amount of people coming close to and/or surpassing porn a statistical anomaly?

This question highlights the worst effect porn has on male understanding and perception of sexual intercourse.

First of all, there's very little porn out there where the woman truly enjoys the experience. It's not always glaringly obvious (although we'll get back to that in the next point), but if you actually stop and look, you'll see the discomfort and/or indifference very often.

Second, a lot of porn out there focuses on and glorifies the woman's suffering, pain and degradation. Seriously, you only have to read the word "painal" once to realize that. However, if that's not enough, you might also look for the occurrences of "choke", "gag", "destroy", "slut", etc.

Third, even the porn that doesn't focus on pain teaches wrong stuff. One might get the idea that the only thing a man need do to make a woman enjoy sex is to pound her fast and hard. On top of that comes the whole issue of hygiene: the way anal is portrayed means that if you try it at home, your female partner will likely end up with an infection.

Fourth, it creates unrealistic expectations. Let's just say that gag reflex is not as easy to suppress as the porn makes you believe and that anal sex is not a matter of just sliding in any time you want.

TL;DR: No, it's not just about whether the sex if fun or boring.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I'm male.

If memory serves me right, even on 64bit, the standard malloc won't allow you to grab a chunk larger than about 2G. You can still have as many chunks as you like, but you can't have a single chunk larger than that. Of course, you can always use a different memory manager.

Hate to say this because I loved the movie too. But it always bugged me that the timing of the repetitive noise helped them determine the bridge. The unknown speed of the vehicle would make it pretty difficult to determine anything based off the noise pattern.

It has been a very long time since I watched the movie so there may be something that addresses this that I'm not aware of, if that's the case please let me know!

Sounds interesting, I just wish I had an adapter for my 360 controller so I could test it out on my TV. I'll play with it on my PC for now.

I'd definitely be interested in building a PC that's small enough to fit under my TV, but powerful enough to run any of my steam games. I wonder if there might be a market in producing those for people. I assume that's what the steam-box is going to be, but apart from this I don't see any hints of that coming out soon.
In my line of work, I see this a lot (both expired and using a cert on a subdomain the cert isn't valid for). It gets really difficult trying to balance security with the needs of the business when employees are begging me to whitelist the site so it isn't blocked by the corporate proxy but I really don't want to whitelist invalid certificates. That sets a bad precedent.

There really should be another way that doesn't involve SSL certificates.

Super good looking site! From my understanding you are an agent that does everything except the showing. I think your last point is kind of key and may need to be fleshed out more. I agree that tenants like meeting the landlord, however, landlord may like meeting tenants but they usually are unable to. Landlords are in the business of owning property. They use a service provider like brokers to make their life more convenient, so they can focus on the core of their business. The first few points are administrative tasks the real burden is to schedule appointments and show up for appointments that are usually a waste of time (that's why brokers are bitter!)Perhaps facilitating the different aspect of these appointments for landlords can help disrupt the status quo.

Yep - I have to say we totally agree with this and am just trying to work out how we can make such a change so it's informative, but not overwhelming for repeat users.

Getting to the data fast is important, but understanding why we're a vast improvement over the alternatives is clearly just as important!

This is something we need to get right, and we will think about how we can portray it more clearly.
> "someone told me I could sell it for a bunch of money if I wanted" This reminds me of a common scam in domain names: I once received an email saying I had a very valuable domain. I got really hyped. Turns out the guy was ready to buy it... but he needed a 3rd-party appraisal from a company I had never heard of. Basically this appraisal company was scamming for $30 appraisals. Just FYI.
I should have said simple math and boolean logic.

Of course 1 + 2 * 3 is more familiar that way, vs the Lisp way. But you have the Lisp way wrong (unless your example was Smalltalk)... it would be:

(+ 1 (* 2 3))

Which could be read left-to-right as "sum 1 and the product of 2 and 3".

Also, most math functions in Lisp are variadic. So if you have this in infix:

x + y + z + 1
// x plus y plus z plus one

You could do it in Lisp as:

(+ x y z 1)
;; sum x y z and one

There are plenty of cases where an algorithm is naturally expressed as a map or a reduce, where infix or prefix has nothing to do with it. I don't find myself using a lot of the kind of math that would be better in infix.

It might even be useful to give math operators new names in Lisp, because of the way that things like < > = == are a bit awkward when read as their equivalents in infix. They are all variadic, after all.

Compare:

(x == 10 && y == 10) && (x < y && y < z && z < 100)

Vs.

(and (== x y 10) (< x y z 100))

That's already an improvement, but the reading is strange. So what if we alias those operators?

(all-true? (same? x y 10) (ascending? x y z 100))

I don't know if I'd actually use those names, and I don't think I would do this in code, but you get the point. You can even tell how a list of numbers is sorted in Lisp by simply doing:

(apply < nums)
