Grady Booch had the title of Chief Scientist at several successful companies.

Is he legit in the "titled world?" :)
That and you need to sign up if you just want to have a (short) peek at the content. One also picks up more than one book in the bookstore before buying, if any.

Also, the real value in these courses is that they are the real deal. They should be hard, and thus not for everybody.
i had around 2fps - is the res too high?
All communities require skill of an user who wish to make a new contribution.

Suggest an article to hacker news. If the title does not pass spell check, is inconsistent, or is of unreasonable length, it will be rejected by the community. An title out of "style" will not be as successful as one in style with the community.

Suggest a patch to an open source project. If the code is not bug free, documented, and readable, it will be rejected.

Report a software bug. Writing a bug report that will be taken serious is almost an art.

Suggest a answer/question to stackexhange board. If the text is not readable, spam free, or on topic, it will be rejected.

Each community has a unique set of requirements for new contributions. It often takes different skill sets to successful contribute in a meaningful way. Most if not all communities suggest new users to first read and observe before making new contribution. Many forums makes this specific point in FAQ's and user guides.

Wikipedia's requirement on new article is harsh, but I would still put them as less harsh than adding a patch to a open source program or writing a bug report.
I think it says a lot about current voting on here...
One issue about warp drives that I never see mentioned is one has to be careful one is not creating a perpetual motion device.

Consider a warp drive that transports you from, say, earth's orbit to pluto's orbit. Now, you fall back towards earth's orbit. This means that the warp drive, in order to not violate conservation of energy, must require at least as much energy as the potential energy difference between the two positions.

This is a pretty effective advertisement.

I'd bet that the goal of the example entitled "One more strange loop" is to avoid a lot of annoying indentation. I've seen the same technique used by fanatical adherents of the "no early return" philosophy.

I have a HTC G2 (aka Desire Z) too, and i have a [ICS custom rom](http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?s=3eaa2220b0e...) on it that runs rather smoothly. I'd lie if i said installing a custom rom is super easy, but for someone browsing HN it shouldn't take longer than 2 hours.
Any language that gave you more explicit insight into cache spilling, pipeline stalls, DMA wait etc. would be better. Maybe the solution there is better tools, but if you've ever written a C++ parser you might agree that C++ tooling is a language issue. :-)

Cool hack, but I can't help but feel like this completely misses the point.
Identify quickly what your productive hours are and what aren't. For example, I can't seem to hunker down and get sufficiently focused until after lunch. I tried battling it but to no avail.

Now, I do other stuff (laundry, errands, physical work) in the morning and start on the computer at noon. Works much better.

Sleep? For me, some weeks I'll live on 4 hours a night, but then I get super depressed and will jack up the sleep to 6 or more. I need to improve on this, so I'm probably not one to take advice from.
The page works now. Seems like they switched to another (static?) version of the page. It looks quite different than it looked when I posted it.

Seems like their switch to Go didn't go so well if HN entry with 7 upvotes can break it ;)
Have you had a look at ChiliProject?

https://www.chiliproject.org/

Its a Redmine Fork invested a lot of time into cleaning up the whole thing.
A word of warning on those amounts: while the effects you are seeing now are mostly positive, there are possibly longer term negative, maybe irreversible, effects. For instance, it took my brain months to get rid of random psychedelic flashes occurring, ie seeing/hearing things that are not there. Funny at first, gets really annoying after a while. Also a couple of weeks after quitting regular usage I felt rather down and depressed, obviously due to the mess MDMA creates in the serotonin/dopamin system. For other effects: there are quite a lot of studies on them, and none of them are particularly good news. I'm not denying MDMA can give you nice insights and learns you how to cope with certain problems, I experienced that myself multiple times, but definitely stay away from sustained usage of more than a couple of months.
The page is still not live.

Yes, it is not that many years ago that allmost all people in the HN demographics would have found the idea of using a mac as their main coding workstation amusing.
The "Close, don't delete" feature reminds me of the sourceforge bugtracker. That has one very big disadvantage - you can't get completely rid of spam. Which is unfortunately becoming an increasing problem in some bugtrackers.
This is more by chance than anything, but I think my correction addresses precisely that: the point is not to hoist the increment out of the loop. The point is to hoist the member access. That way, you end up with only one write to memory, instead of a write and a read. (There is another member access in the condition of the loop, but I guess the compiler can optimize it.)

I explained that here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4540107 I did not get the Load Hit Store problem, but I did sense there was a problem with the repeated read access to memory.

By the way, it looks like your problem is a bit more subtle than the textbook Load Hit Store: you don't read the location you just wrote to. I guess the write access dirties more than one word (at least a cache line, maybe more).
The article doesn't mention exotic matter. Did they find a way to build an engine without exotic matter?
I admire your cynicism. It matches mine.

We had a similar project over here in Europe (Eurofighter). So far they have been used to annoy Argentina purely through penis-waving and drop a couple of bombs on Libya and that's all. Then they ran out of spare bits and grounded them all.

The iPhone 5 is not all-new, despite the protestations in the launch video.
It looks like a mid-season 3-series with a new spoiler stuck on it and a stretched wheelbase.
What people wanted (especially after the 4s), was a new 911.

You must be joking! The 3 series has undergone much more radical changes than a 911! And the iPhone 5 is closer to the design philosophy of the 911, which traces its history back 50 years! Hell, I can even guess how the next generation is going to look.

if the launch system was all on another planet or moon, then this wouldn't be a problem.

I can imagine you'd ride a rocket to the moon, and then the real spaceship is launched this way for inter planetary travel. It'd be like the old days of ocean liners, you stay on it for months on end, and a ship flies out may be once every year or so.
I got nice quality on Chrome 21. Substitute the window.requestAnimationFrame directive with:

window.requestAnimationFrame = (function() {
return window.requestAnimationFrame || window.webkitRequestAnimationFrame ||
window.mozRequestAnimationFrame || window.oRequestAnimationFrame ||
window.msRequestAnimationFrame || function(callback) { window.setTimeout(callback, 1000 / 60); };
})();

and it will work in Opera 12 too.

A long long time ago, I created an issue/bug tracker project with similar lofty goals. http://scarab.tigris.org/ Not to discourage you, but this is a never ending project.

There is a good reason why nobody has built a better bug tracker... it's nearly impossible to do so. There is an endless set of requirements that people must have before they will start to use one. You can certainly get a few smaller players to keep the lights on, but those smaller players will most likely just use Github or another site with more integration points.

You can see it in the comments already with several 'non-starter' requirements. This ends up making the project larger and more complex over time, to the point that it becomes exactly what we already have with other projects. Either that or it will just stay a small player in an already saturated area.

I wish you the best of luck with your project, I just fear that your method of using Kickstarter to try to fund it is a bad idea. $5k - fees isn't that much money. There's enough articles on HN about KS vaporware and this one is ripe for it. I think a better idea would be to spend a year working on it and then go for real funding once you have a great working prototype.
the white square at 11n11e is not at the good position on this map.

I wonder why 11n11e and 11s11e are empty.
I'm curious about the LABjs usage. In my own testing it ends up not having any significant impact in load times, sometimes it's even slower (same for other loaders). Just concatenating+minifying files has a huge effect already, the added complexity doesn't justify itself.

The big disconnect to me - transferable skills, aspirations and personality factors (such as drive and passion) are overlooked far too often. Yet these are the most important factors to me in a hire. This might be too formulaic, but instead of resumes per se it I'd like to see an in-depth profile that users can create for themselves from a standard form. A large universe of skills are listed…e.g. detailed facets of backend, frontend, databases, entrepreneurship, graphic design, lion taming, hoola hooping…where users note their years of experience, current skill level, and aspirational skill level. Also info on things like their willingness to relocate etc. Demonstrates what they know but also their commitment to learn and grow. Come to think of it standardizing things like this could cut through a lot of bull and disrupt the recruitment industry - companies could search the detailed data to find close matches and approach candidates directly. Hope this helps!

Downvote if you like, but it's true, although perhaps not for this particular article.
But if B can't send an FTL-message to A because he's going to receive an FTL-message from A in what to him is the future, that's your causality violation right there.
avoid international prices

For many pairs of countries the price of sending a letter from A->B is less than sending a letter within B. In addition I imagine the labor costs of having people stuff envelopes will a significant source of costs. So you're probably better off picking 3-5 central points with cheap labor and cheap postage, rather than opening dozens of small centers all around the globe

Wow, I was sure they implemented requestAnimationFrame already!

Anyway, I limited myself to trying out the various vendors' prefixes; this being mainly an experiment/preview I'd rather keep the code clean than support non-cutting-edge browsers.

I'll update the paragraph about the compatibility though; thanks for the heads up!
You're willfully sanitizing the anecdotal/hypothetical question.

Agreed. I recently moved from LABjs to RequireJS. I regret ever going down the LJS route because it really doesn't encourage / enable you to modularize your JS. It was over complicated to get my head around RJS, but once I did, it really cleaned up a lot of my code and I'm super glad that I made the switch.
Yea, my dropout rate is around 80%. I'll sign up for 4-6 courses that sound interesting, watch the first few lectures all of them, perhaps do the first homework, and then decide which ones (if any) I feel I have the time and interest to complete.

Conservation of energy may or may not be valid in general relativity, at least in a naive understanding of conservation of energy. The technical explanation for this is, that conserved quantities are related to geometrical symmetries via Noethers theorem [1], and on a curved background these symmetries may or may not be there. ( A rather handwaving explanation would be, that there is no straightforward way to define the energy density of a gravitational field.)

In fact it is possible to build a perpetuum mobile by just filling some region of space with dark energy. This region of space will then expand at constant energy density, therefore creating energy.

Securing Our Minds: The Need For Brainwave Tech Standards Against Hacking
Web design is 95% typography and 100% content. I can't tell you how many times we have to design without knowing the actual CONTENT or text and we're forced to dropping Lorum Ipsum (fake text) in the designs. Not knowing the text stops us from knowing the USER, the target audience, and the entire REASON for the website. Actually knowing the subject, content and text makes the difference between 'nice' and 'functional'.
In Australia credit cards and debit cards come with a wireless contact chip inside of the card as standard. I hardly see how NFC is useless, maybe in the US it is, but in Australia and New Zealand as well it certainly has a commercial use.
what is p2p performance like? what amount of code would have to be written?
It would be fun to include it, and license it as free to use for anyone who gave a dollar to Unicef or something.

And then, the next time this shit happens, the patent defenders would all go “How would these children get their basic needs met if it weren't for patents? Why do you hate children?”

It would be glorious.
Different areas have different views. Chefs attribute sometimes, and there is no copyright on recipes (there is on the words if writtem, but not on the substance). Copying is considered normal.
I have tried a lot of bug trackers and sadly this falls into the same group of looks interesting but I won't use. It looks to work the same way every other bug tracker out there works.

I have been thinking of writing my own version one of these days which works the way I think a bug tracker should work. For anyone who wants an idea here is how I see it working. Three columns, similar to outlook. The far left with projects/users the middle with issues and the right with details of the issue. A single search box which intelligently picks relevant issues/projects/users based on what's typed and instantly displays the results. Clicking on a project or user displays issues assigned to that user or project. Clicking on the issue displays the details on the right pane. Add drag and drop file uploads, instant comments and you have something I feel is already more productive then any bug tracker I have used.

I guess my biggest complaint is how hard it is to find bugs/issues in the system and jump between them. The above may solve that pain point. Its certainly a weekend project to implement.

Create Barcode Image on Local System or Saaspose Image Storage in Cloud
Saaspose development team is proud to announce the new release of Saaspose.Barcode. Saaspose.Barcode provides two approaches used to create barcode. Firstly, you can upload the desired file to Saaspose Storage using Saaspose REST API. Then you can generate barcode image using Saaspose.Barcode REST examples. You can also use Saaspose.Barcode SDK examples for generating the barcode image from the file uploaded on Saaspose Storage for different languages like .NET, Java, Ruby and PHP. Another way is to directly generate barcode image on your local system using Saaspose.Barcode REST API and SDKs without saving the file to Saaspose Storage. You can use the file path or stream to generate barcode image using Saaspose.Barcode REST API. The file is sent through request stream to Saaspose servers, processed and the output is sent back as response stream. In this case, the file is not saved on Saaspose Storage. It is a single call process that uploads the file to server, generates the barcode image, sends the generated image as response stream and deletes the source file from the server.
It suggests that the company has some rights to the brand and might act as a deterrent to others using the brand without permission (especially as most people probably don't understand the difference between registered and unregistered marks).

I don't know if Go or Toggl fans rallied and upvoted this article, but I don't have anything with that.

That being said, I'd like to see if HN could provide some kind of fraud protection for upvotes/downvotes. I know that, for example, ad providers have some kind of algorithm detecting if the click is valid. Does anyone know of something like that in use in some of the community recommendation sites like HN?

As it is now, it would be fairly easy to game HN for karma or marketing reasons. All it takes for an article to take off is less than 10 votes at the right moment.
