yes, but the shell isnt responsible for the terminal or the editing capabilities on the rio windows. unlike unix, plan9 has no ttys or cursor addressing or no ansi graphics.

everything is just (UTF-8) text.

the window system and acme allow you to edit whats on the screen. and theres a mechanism called the plumber that lets you execute various action depending on selected text.

I don't think buildings will sustain much of a pressure difference. For example, a 10ft-equivalent pressure difference will exert a roughly 16 pound force on a standard residential door, which would be highly noticeable, and it's probably tough to seal a building well enough to contain that kind of pressure.

>They started it? That's cycle of violence rhetoric, and partly why you're getting pushback.

This argument is simply wrong. Those who engage in terrorist attacks against us do not do so because we invaded there lands, or any such thing. This is a dangerous fallacy. One of the most ridiculed statements of the Bush administration is actually the closest we've come to the truth: they hate us for our freedoms. Truly, they do. The islamic fundamentalists view western civilization not because of our military imperialism, but because of our cultural imperialism. They hate that our values and culture turn "good muslims" into crass, liberal swine.

Now, certainly there are those in the middle east who hate our interventionism, and with good reason. They have legitimate complaints. But they are not the ones blowing themselves up, nor are they the ones encouraging same. OBL didn't give a rat's ass about our military intervention in the middle east; he hated the liberalization and secularization of Arab countries. One of the worst lies told by the left (of which I proudly consider myself a member) is that terrorism is a response to our imperialism. It isn't. It's a response to our values.
I think it really depends on the industry.

As an example, the last company I worked at, our main customers were home contractors and other DIY type people and IE7 was a large portion of the market share.

My best advice is to build a product and check analytics to see how many customers are actually using older browsers. If it's a small group, its probably not worth the effort to make sure everything is ported over. Sometimes it can also be difficult to test older browsers without spending a bunch of time setting up VM's.

For my own personal projects, I dont even fully support IE7.
Those prices on the apple site only include carrier subsidized carrier-locked prices. The real prices are not listed anywhere yet.
I don't think this comparison is reasonable because the size of index at google is much larger than bing's. For some simple just for test queries, bing's results may seem to be better but in the real world a much larger index is much much more important.
Why I think Marissa Mayer should buy Automattic
If it's random, you can just get enough samples and remove the noise. It'd have to be padding to a given number of bytes, but that probably has a vulnerability too.
Hey I'm looking for a technical co-founder for summer 2013 or later. I won't be ready until then. I don't know much about the business side of things so if you could bring that to the table, awesome.

About me:
I've been programming since I was 14, I'm 22, just graduated from college, and working at a big company in the valley (think Google/Microsoft/Apple). I have a few ideas and would be interested in hearing yours.

Send me an email at mapcat@outlook.com
I love these types of articles. But, with 22 million dollars in investment and that sort of traffic, they fail to address any of the critical issues that a real journalist would raise.
For example, with those numbers, what's revenue (or the favorite run rate)? Or better yet, what's the free v. paid? Or better yet, who is the biggest user? Is there a point a site gets so big and they don't use cloudfare for competitive reasons? Or anything really, other than the puffy stuff.

We know there is a bubble coming or already here. It's not all butterflies and roses. I just wish TC would use their powers for good sometimes. But, then again, the truth doesn't sell as well as the lie.
you're missing some of the more notable changes:

- %20 lighter (under 4 oz is actually pretty stunning)
- 2x as fast CPU
- more microphones (and, it sounds like improved software) for better call quality
- HD front facing camera

On paper, it's kind of boring, but I think it will seem insanely light and fast compared to everything on the market when you have it "in hand" at an Apple store.

Having done my time in the Valley, I am now almost allergic to bs-spewing self promotors who are always "killing" whatever "it" is that constitutes their latest pivot.

Ask HN: How long does an investor own your time/ideas?
Lets say you are a solo founder and you've taken a small angel investment or other funding (seed, YC, other incubator, etc..) and you've pivoted A times over the course of B months and you're ready to move on and try something else.

Is it unethical to quit and try to raise funding for another startup idea?

Does it depend on what A,B are? e.g. its ok after 5 years, but not after 5 months?

At what point do your initial investors no longer own your time/ideas?
APL? Does anyone use this anymore?

APL was actually the first real programming language I learned, 35 year ago! It was very cool and mind-bending, and has hugely influenced the way I think today. APL has also been hugely influential on the world, but after I learned Lisp, I'd never go back to APL. Though I do wish there were an APL embedded DSL for Lisp.

I wasn't aware that anyone still uses APL for anything real. Back when I used it, it didn't even have arrays of strings. Though you could make a twelve dimensional array of characters instead, for whatever that might be worth.
I found it amusing because at Blekko I was playing with one and talked about building a cluster with them. I think it would be tremendously valuable as a teaching tool to build smallish (24 - 96 machine) clusters and teach folks to write distributed algorithms. Its a stretch to call it a 'super computer' but it is quite educational.

One of my favorite systems questions is to have someone walk through the design and implementation of a system where all the machines in the system respond to a query Q based on the contents of a linked list L. The system has an API which consists of L <- M(op) (mutate list), R <- Q(id) respond to a query based on the contents of the list, and R <- S() report on the stability of the list. Start with M(op) being idempotent, then non-idempotent, Etc. Folks who've had a good introduction to state machines will immediately recognize and a number of problems that arise as you control correctness. If folks get through the whole sequence we're taking about a function f(C) which takes a correctness coefficent from 1.0 (fully correct) to 0.0 (unspecified) and look at the performance of the system across that range.

That kind of stuff you could easily do on a 48 node Pi Cluster.
What about people who spin in circles and think everything looks like a 0? It isn't completely random if someone is biased towards a number, especially when the picture is uncertain. A possibly better approach would be to count the number of 'splatters' (or whatever), and mod by some smaller number (i.e., 16).
Yeah, I love the idea, but I had to hunt for the install for a while too.. For a second I started to wonder if this was another good kickstarter idea that was unlikely to ever come to pass... very happy that is not the case.
You should check out iTrans NYC on the App Store. I have no relationship to the developer(s), but it's probably my favorite transit app, and I've used a lot of them. Unfortunately I only get to use it during visits to New York, since I live in the Bay Area.
This is true to a cosmic scale. The combined hours of duplicated effort by developers unable to share even the most basic of experiences and tips with various new components in the ios ecosystem is not only wasteful and short sighted, it's down right absurd. It makes me wonder if there is a way other than posting on the apple forums to share blog posts or code to persons confirmed to be apple iOS developers ( which by extension would be under nda ).
Irony: A YC company just won Disrupt.
Well, I am quite sure that among HN folk there is a high occurrence of people who found decided to give Clojure a shot because of pg's lisp advocacy. This is his website, after all. But HN isn't the world.

But yeah I'm definitely prepared to entertain the possibility that I undervalue pg's essays in the world of general purpose computing. It may be that indeed Rich Hickey should be paying Paul Graham royalties but I truly doubt it.
I see no feedback loop for the process itself...

If a team fails to deliver the functionality they committed to, there are consequences. Before the next sprint starts, they figure out what went wrong and incorporate that knowledge going forward. That's feedback on the process. And whether they have a green sprint or a red one, their velocity on the sprint is measured and used to project forward. Again, that's feedback on the process. Then there is a actually a dedicated retrospective phase at the sprint review where the team gives specific feedback on how the process went. The whole point of having sprints is to ensure that there's frequent feedback on the team's performance, distinct from any feedback they get on the product itself.
Shelter Wallets: the world's most versatile wallet (and they help charity)
The lead guy has what appears to be a Benelli M2 shotgun with a bunch of crap added (rail, light, and some kind of red dot sight). The other guy has what might be some kind of AR15/M4.

Yes, they're wearing black, and have a lot of random junk attached to them, but they're not necessarily much more heavily armed than a CA CHP car with a shotgun and an AR-15 or M16A1 inside.

The APC, yeah, that's a bit over the top.

Rick Falkvinge: Child Porn Laws Are Worse Than You Think
This is true, but it reinforces why the compression should not be done at the secure transport layer, and should instead be left to higher levels: only HTTP knows which parts of the request are potentially unsafe to include in the same compression state.

(Even if HTTP probably just got lucky here rather than deliberately making the right choice, it's still the only layer that had the chance to make the right choice).
i have this problem too :(
I grew up in a suburb of Milwaukee. As a city, it is probably one of the most segregated in the country. While the city has been making great strides in improving itself, its still rare to see people of different ethnic backgrounds living next to each other.

Additionally, there have been some bad incidents involving racial prejudices in recent history. A few years ago, there was a small riot between blacks/whites after the state fair. Which was then followed up with a neo nazi march countered by an anti-protest. Tensions still seem a bit high when I talk to my parents.

True, but they also get lots of help solving it. We have a database of all the investors containing feedback from previous YC companies they've invested in, and the YC partners also give a lot of advice by email (as the whole world now knows).
That could easily be an Onion headline.

I hope they continue with this. They were the only game in town for so long (short of getting a full merchant account) that they didn't have to bother to fix these kinds of issues.
I'm sorry anti-depressants didn't work out for you. Luckily I've only had to try out two different types before finding the one for me. Wellbutrin was my first ad but it made me feel like an emotionless robot. I then got on prozac and rather than make me a robot it made me feel normal. Not exactly happy but definitely not sad. Which is what I was going for anyway. Good luck, also, if you didn't try therapy, i suggest you do.
Wasn't the agreement renewed at the late-in-the-game last year? Is there any reason to think Google would have turned down a renewal (on the previous terms, we know there was friction over new features) this year?
Ivan -
I think Dave already explained himself really well. But what I have noticed about Dave is that he thinks founders don't push the boundary enough and take enough chances to market their company. Case in point I was giving Dave ride one night (long story) and he was exchanging emails with a founder of a newly funded company. I was able to guess the company, and what I gather from Dave was that the founder/CEO was being a bit cautious against his recommendation. I think Dave's post is very much inline with his philosophy and his brand. Perhaps this is his way of winnowing the hustlers. Basically, if you dig his approach then perhaps you share a bit of DNA with him.

Also don't be afraid of being persistent in getting feedback on your existing ideas, even if you are a solo founder.

It's probably next to impossible to get early feedback on a YC application but there's now one more way to turn impossible to possible: http://lookapinky.com
I'd call the unique ability to inspire a religiously devoted cult of personality expert marketing. A quality product alone won't do that, and Apple certainly didn't have as much of a following before Steve Jobs returned as it does now.
If you didn't tell me this was a police website, I'd have thought it was a tabloid, with that huge font.

I guess it's a modern theme, but is this the image they want to portray? Looks more like a movie or magazine website rather than a professional police force.

It's because compression inherently creates a side-channel: the size of the message is now a function of the plaintext contents.
I think this always scares/annoys certain programmers. See comments near the bottom of every thread that suggests learning assembly, including this one.

I think it scares/annoys programmers who do not know assembly and will never learn it.

The simple fact is that knowing assembly and C anyone one can build whatever other language anyone else is using. These are the building blocks. It's simply a lexer and a parser away.

Your favorite scripting language was probably built with C. If for no other reason than superior performance. Even if you writing in Lisp/Scheme, you probably also do some C code generation. C is unavoidable.

And the guy that knows assembly and C is probably a better C programmer than the one who doesn't know assembly.

This probably makes some programmers uncomfortable. Why else would they argue against anyone teaching or learning assembly, or make excuses why they will not learn it?

Probably. I could be wrong here, and of course there are always exceptions. But I consistently see the same sort of comments trying to argue against anyone else teaching or learning assembly. There must be a reason for it.

I like what these guys are doing.
I really don't want to imply I'm jealous of these people's life conditions, but I've noticed that the more not-intellectually taxing tasks I have to do, the less I notice I'm depressed. If I would be fighting for my life everyday, I might not ever notice I'm not OK. I think a simpler life might do me well too.
If you haven't noticed, you can script the entire web. It's the most "scriptable" platform yet, and it's way more fun and open and flexible to play with than any of the older APIs.

If you're the kind of person who looks under the hood, you're going to do it regardless of whether you're working on a desktop word processor or a web app, and it is my strong opinion that these kinds of intelligent and curios people are still coming into this world.
Some games do not need more than that - especially strategic games like Heroes of Might and Magic, Disciples and others. I still play HOMM (1, 2, but mostly 3) and beat the campaigns of Disciples over and over.

It's due to adverse selection.

They are able to raise at higher valuations BECAUSE there is more interest. And I do think that people can smell hits early, so there is more interest.

I learned my lesson: I passed on Dropbox at $20m pre, because I felt I needed to invest at lower valuations to be profitable. I was wrong.
You may be interested in Karl Popper's (famous mostly for the importance of falsifiability) 'The Open Society and Its Enemies'.

Choice quote from it:

"Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them."

It is not a perfect book by any stretch, but I think it covers certain topics particularly well.

Out of curiosity, what makes the Galaxy S III more compelling than the iPhone 5? Or, to turn the question around, what is the iPhone 5 missing that makes it so underwhelming?

On paper, the S III has a larger screen, NFC, a slightly higher MP front-facing camera, a barometer, and access to more Google services, like Maps, Play Store and Now (assuming the majority of Galaxy S III owners ever upgrade to Android 4.1).

For me, personally, none of those are remotely compelling. But then I'm heavily tied to Apple's services and love the App Store, so I'm quite biased.

Regarding hardware, aside from new enclosures, I don't expect any major changes in the near term. I doubt they'll add NFC any time soon, if ever. Why bother? The 4S and 5 support Bluetooth 4, which offers many NFC like features, and there's no compelling reason to add explicit NFC support now or anytime soon. Likewise, I bet it'll be a while before induction charging makes an appearance – again, if it ever does. Induction charging just adds bulk and isn't a huge step forward for most users; placing your phone on a charging pad is effectively equivalent to docking it.

The "cool new features" will probably continue coming from software, just as has been happening with Macs. Most Macs are only evolutionary improvements over their predecessors, with the occasional enclosure redesign. That hasn't harmed Mac sales in the least.

Lush really seems pretty neat, actually your post motivated me quite a lot to take a closer look at it.
I think this is a valid example of reasons where it would be helpful to know assembly as a C programmer, but not justification for the claim that writing C without knowing assembly is writing code you can't debug.

Even if you are having problems interfacing with a third party library, most of this stuff is pretty Googleable.

I think a good summary of my opinion would be that if you're going to primarily write C professionally throughout your career, it's best to understand fundamentals of assembly, but doing projects here and there? I don't think it's worth the time; you just won't use it that much.
There's no point - you're better off just disabling TLS compression and doing whatever compression of the body-only at the HTTP level.
It's not a particularly significant feature and it's questionable whether "copied from Android" is a fair characterization.

Of course, one could say the same thing about many of the things Apple is suing over.
Do you still have my email? Drop me a line.
That sounds like a horrible mess. Presenting users with "Would you like to give this site access to UDP?" is not a question most users can answer to any level of competency. Developers dream, users nightmare.

WebGL has been a good example of the difficulties you face when offering low level access- buggy graphics drivers could result in an all-out crash.
Woohoo! It's one I invested in. They fit my current investment thesis PERFECTLY, too.
It's a disabling of the optional compression at the TLS layer. HTTP content compression is not affected.
iOS badly needs something like Android's Intents.

Absent that, surely you see the problem with a maps.google.com link taking you to Apple's Maps app (no longer associated with Google in any way)?
I think what will make it a success or not is not a list of stats but rather if users like it significantly more than the previous model.

I believe they will.
Wow, that's awesome. I love the idea of a test hierarchy. I'm sure as a system grows in complexity and scale, fuzzing and stressing would make a lot of sense.
Just because something happens routinely doesn't make it ceremonial. You turn on your computer every day as you begin work. Is that a ceremony? You eat a meal every day. Is that a ceremony? Pay rent or make a house payment every month? More ceremony?

What you mean, I think, is that you don't see the value in the activity, or have some other aversion to it, so it's purely ceremonial to you. I assume (maybe incorrectly) that you do see the value in planning your work and communicating with your teammates, you just prefer not to do it on a regular schedule. I'd prefer not to make my house payment on a regular schedule either, but doing it every month ensures that a) I'm always making steady progress on my mortgage, and b) I don't caught in a cash flow bind when I suddenly have 6 months' worth of payments to catch up on.
So what, exactly, is no longer compressed? Merely the headers themselves, and the content is not affected?
