> It's a cute example, but I can't see any scenario where its better or safer than heap use.

The author does explicitly point this out: "While I find this style strangely addictive, I don’t think I would advocate its general use."
With sound waves, your speed is added to the speed of sound and you hear a different note. With light, the speed remains at c, but perceived energy of the photons is still affected (energy must be preserved after all). And energy ~ wavelength ~ color.

You can also think about it being one of these "zero (weight of a photon at rest) multiplied by infinity (energy of objects moving at c) gives a finite number (actual energy of a photon)". The last number still behaves nicely.

Many people argue that affirmative action is institutionalized racism.
There is a difference between "everybody should walk on eggshells" and "there should be standards". It's not black or white, "eggshells" or "f* you I can say what I want", there is (millions of) middle ground(s). HN has rules and guidelines about how to reply to people ( http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html ). Does that mean "everyone has to walk on eggshells around here"? No, there are rules, but it's not mad. Hence the existence of rules does not mean "everyone has to walk on eggshells".
science, yes. engineering, not as much as you'd think.

Asian cultures place a HUGE HUGE HUGE emphasis on rote memorization. The kind of learning that isn't exactly conducive to creative endeavors like engineering.

*edit: I'm assuming you were being sarcastic.
Apple has broken even on lawyers fees, so it's not exactly a cost center like R&D.
It's controversial political speech; I wouldn't personally call it derogatory.

If I understand correctly, the reaction was to the mere fact of Mohammed being rendered in drawing, not about the content of those drawings.
To me, there are two parts of a successful test:

1. Statistically significant increase in conversions
2. A reasonable understanding why behavior changed

In the case of the larger button converting less, if form progression were recording and found that fewer users even attempted the form because of a perceived spammy CTA, then the test is a "success". Without the data, you don't know why, so you can't really apply your findings authoritatively.

Running tests to maximize revenue is one thing, but the smart way is to understand user desire and behavior on your site, and create an experience conducive to that.
I think you should always read the article first so you have context. If you only read the title first, and then read the comments, you might be getting misleading information.

The problem with reading the comments is the sheer amount of them that are crammed into a small space. I have setup a user style sheet to change the font to 16px and the line-height to 24px. If you spend a lot of time reading the comments, you may want to considering doing the same.
well it's primary use seems to be providing a moving goal post for the functional side during the occasional OO vs Functional skirmishes.
All programming languages and all programming styles can be similarly dismissed as encoding one Turing-complete form into another. Why pay attention to any of them?

This article is clearly someone having fun with their language. It isn't a serious claim about C being functional, something which the author states explicitly if you read to the end.
I think this is a niche market with little growth potential left. For every different combination of features, sizes, specs, etc. there will be some segment of the market that will respond. There are companies who will make a lot of money filling all these niches (Samsung, LG, etc) and companies who focus in on the fat part of the curve (Apple, Microsoft, etc).

Actually, if you look closely you'll notice that not other language lets you do this either (except through an 'eval' or similar). What I think you actually mean is that this still doesn't let you use closures. But in fact it does! :D You'll have to do a lot of void * casting to make it work though.
That page doesn't say anything about money. It says Facebook might decide not to sue you submit it.
While the article is excellent, it is wrong on one point. Edison didn't invent anything at all; Tesla is responsible for most inventions credited to Edison today. The world could definitely do with as little Edisons as possible, what the world really needs are more Teslas.

Men in that age range have low social status (theirs starts out very low, but increases into the 40s and 50s) while women at that age have high social status (and it declines with age).

If I'm parsing this right, you're saying women's social status is mostly based on looks (you say it's better around then) and less so on (cay) career, whereas men's social status is less based on looks, and more on career.

You're probably right (that's probably how a lot of the world works), but damn it jim that's wrong. And from a realpolitik advice it might be helpful. I'm just a principled person, and want to fight this!
I think it's probably lighter than air if you weight it in a vacuum.

I think like a sponge in the photograph it has a fair amount of air in itself.

Just a guess though.

"So my title is misleading. I don’t think C is a functional language. But it’s an awful lot of fun (and sometimes very useful) to use C’s functional subset."

b: There's no "attractive male" advantage to be found in tech, at least not compared to "attractive female" advantage as your parent explained.

Yes, IT is full of straight men, but the parent post gave example of non-IT
No, you provided a qualification of why they weren't... I gave you an example of a mathematician who broke your qualification, and logically should fall into your definition of a 'quack'.

The idea being, that you'd have to back pedal, and change your qualification. Which I could then use to apply to other fields, that you deem as 'quackery', and thus undo the foundation of your argument.

Instead, you just denied the reality of what you said... I didn't count on that. Well done.

I Don't Care About "Agile"
I want to reiterate here that MWI is a much simpler theory than Bohm's, even if the consequences of MWI might seem more complicated. At times, there have been scientists who want to apply Occam's razor to the consequences, but most scientists these days would apply Occam's razor to the theory itself.
However, part of the perception that EV cars are almost here is caused by people having gotten used to the blistering pace of innovation in IT. Batteries to heavy? Mwah, "wait a few years and it will be good enough".

In reality, if you look at the weight/power density curve of batteries it has been improving at a pace that 10 times slower than what happened in IT. So it may take decades more to get where we need to be. Just trying to be realistic here.

Snapheal Is an Inexpensive Alternative to Photoshop
The few people who have bought it have quickly gotten over the embarrassment that prevents the rest of us from buying it, and love the Note. And they claim they can never go back.

I believe that given that 95%+ of what we use a smart phone for these days benefits from a larger screen with higher resolution [not to mention increased input choices], moving to the largest screen possible [while maintaining a 24hr battery cycle, and being able to put it in a pocket] is inevitable.

Low budget users will settle for smaller phones with same features. High budget users will go for the largest phone they can hold.

All this changes with Google Glass, or a holographic projection system :)

And now after just 60 days you are allready a fanboy of rails. You should overthink how you put your loyaltys.
Whatever you do, don't get into a bikeshed argument with a lawyer-turned-programmer. If they were a good lawyer, they will be an expert in persuasion, and can get you fired for disagreeing with them about Allman-vs-BSD indenting. Not out of malice, but just by following their old habits.

Great analogy, helped me understand why I felt this whole six times lighter thing was strange.
It is actually still worse to be a victim of sexism than to be called a sexist.

Having core sexist beliefs isn't a prerequisite for making a sexist comment.

Exactly, many people think "I'm not a sexist" and then say lots of things, presuming then that everything they say cannot be sexist. I take care to say "sexist talk/action". Tends to get people's backs up less.

You can do "s/sexism/racism/g" for all of the above as well.

Exactly. I've made this same post several times, only doing a bare minimum of s/race/sex/g
Perhaps, I'm 42 though.

I think "sweet spot" is the wrong term.

There were some excellent games. 1080; Super Mario 64; Golden Eye; some of the Zelda games. These aren't just "very good", these are "among the best", and they are still very very good games.

I'll admit there were also some real duffers. Superman, that claymation fighting game, etc.

Sega Saturn has been mentioned, and that had some great games despite some serious flaws with the system. Sega Rally on Saturn is almost perfect, even though you only have 3 cars and a handful of tracks.

Any suggestions for Canada? I don't go often enough to find a better solution than using an ATM there, but I do go often enough to feel ripped off every time I do.
My home debit/ATM card also gives me a better exchange rate than any Forex desk I've ever seen. Why do people still use those? Is it solely due to familiarity with cash?
Not necessarily. The Scheme spec requires tail-call elimination, and I think the same may be true of some other functional-ish languages.
However, Edison was a great research leader and business leader, and pitch-man for his ideas.
While I appreciate Tesla as much as the next person, the statement that he's responsible for "most" of Edison's inventions is wholeheartedly not true.

Edison is still seen as being largely responsible for things like the phonograph and kinetoscope, the pre-cursors to modern music and television, as well as hundreds of other inventions in other areas that Tesla never touched.
I launched http://www.flipso.com together with Idealab the other week, mostly because of experiences like these.
My comment was meant as parody (I'm not actually in my teens), but I guess it missed the mark. I agree with the general sentiment of the article, but it would carry a lot more weight coming from someone who has actually lived a little.

Is the "no exceptions" rule common in Javascript? Are
exceptions trouble in JS for some technical reason
compared to eg Python?
I use clang with a -Wall and -Wextra, which will complain about all sorts of stuff I generally want to know about, including unused variables (I think gcc does the same?). For the rare cases where I actually want to leave a variable unused I do the above to make the warning go away.
Are there even that many high-leverage problems available though?
Exactly. You could just as easily say that the 16 GB buyers are getting a discount that’s funded by 32 GB and 64 GB buyers.
HTML5 means that some elite browser developers enjoy fun and performance native coding and they allow us to use only crappy HTML/CSS/JavaScript (altjs languages and Emscripten can't compensate, of course).
I suspect Mozilla guys regard themselves as privileged classes or something.

As a programmer, the freedom of programming languages and APIs is more important than Apple tax.

I sometimes imagine a catastrophic future. They say all programmers will write software only on the browsers. Then, all programmers will forget how to write C++, and no one will be able to maintain browsers eventually :p

IMO, the easiest way to prove HTML5 is a prison rather than open will be jailbreaking Firefox OS phones.
I don't think that solves the problem. Whatever fixed stack size you choose, you still cannot write a program that determines the size of the lists at runtime. A Turing complete system would have to be able to do that.

The only way I see is to allocate (almost) the entire machine memory to the stack, create one giant array in that chunk of memory and then put all lists in that single array. That's tantamount to reimplementing malloc on the stack.
I use it too, but I must admit to wishing they would make it compatible with Google Authenticator or some other OATH implementation. SMS'ed text codes take way too long to be a good second-step when you're having to login everyday like I do (not to mention logging in from work where my reception is almost nil).
This is exactly what I thought when reading the article. "Wow, this kid has a lot to learn."

And I would hope I'd say the same about myself in ten years. And ten years after that, etc.

Let's see a measure of improvement: how many phones are kept up-to-date versus time.
I generally read articles first but quite a few articles I've already read something similar so then just read comments.

You are confusing density with buoyancy.
This is fantastic news. As with all thing in life, the price will come down.

the Chomsky hierarchy is still canon in CS.

Though you have to wonder how much of that is a lack of interest in research. PCRE has been shown to not fit his hierarchy, they are more than regular but less than context-free.
I think the best solution for handling older browsers is to allow server rendering via loading the page the traditional way. Solving two problems: Keeping your urls looking like they should and also verify that your site is accessible for software that do not rely on JavaScript such as some search engines and other types of machines / software. I see little reason for messing up urls with hashchange, adds complexity when recreating correct state on bookmarks.
The classic name for the "Keep moving the extremes so people's opinion converge on the gradually moving middle" is called the Overton window and politicians try to employ it all the time:

Hi, I'm the guy from Parse who is quoted in that article. Amazon's description of provisioned IOPS doesn't precisely guarantee low latency and latency variance for small numbers of IOPS. However, that's exactly what we've found in practice. I would definitely recommend the PIOPS if you're concerned with latency and consistency - it does not work like EBS.
It's even funnier when I think that HN is probably more popular than anything I'll ever work on. Apparently people don't care that you are using the latest dynamic stylesheet code generator or whatever, so long as the information is presentable and the community is good.
Can you elaborate as to why you'd use the pen to write notes rather than typing? I haven't used the Note II yet, but on the Note I found it cumbersome to actually write with the pen, and the translation into text was poor. I'm curious to hear your experiences since I'm considering the Note II.
In my google search for 'shen', the language homepage is on 4. position. That's pretty well for an obscure programming language imho. LoL character has 2 results and one video in the first page, so it's not really overpowering other Shens.

Good idea! Plugin is free but it looks like a Suitcase plugin, not a Photoshop plugin. You need to dl and install Suitcase first. If you have Suitcase you could also dl the fonts and activate them as you would any other font. Plus, would it work with Fontexplorer?

Actually the sign-up page is what is jarring me.

Everything I click on sends me to a sign-up page. What if I just wanted to look at the auctions?

Wouldn't it be preferable to only force people to have an account if they want to bid? How do you expect your items to be indexed by the Google?
I'm seeing settling happening (we don't need to build as many basic libraries as when rails was still in its infancy) but number of ruby users is growing steadily.
> Amazon patented this process and is using it for the benefit of their customers, what's wrong with that?

What's wrong with it is that no competitors can use the same idea without paying Amazon (assuming Amazon would even agree to license it).

What is the benefit to society of preventing someone other than Amazon from implementing 1-click checkout? Do you really think that "innovation" would never have been created without the protection of patents?

> While the material may be very light, I'm certain its weight is nonzero (and non-negative). This doesn't even make sense.

I don't know, if you coat a plastic with air, does it get heavier?
Not meaning to nitpick but already doing it... I think you're talking about product managers, as opposed to project managers? Most project managers I know are only spreadsheet pushers while the product managers know a lot about the tech and biz aspects of the project.
Why spend money to educate your own citizens when you can import workers from other countries on the cheap? Of course long term this leads to the ruination of the United States. But businesses don't think long term. They only think of making money now. And to think one of these money men hucksters has a real chance of getting elected next week. I weep for our future.
This is a more recent "service" that some banks are offering. I've seen it around the UK/Eurozone but rarely further than that. I've always said no to these screens because my bank doesn't charge me a commission on foreign withdrawals so I have no need for the 2% local markup.

I wonder if you could wrap the sponge in a balloon-like thing and then take away all the air inside. That would likely float, if the material was strong enough, no?
Not that I'm aware of. I looked through the specs for quite some time and was unable to see a difference. I know there are differences between Macbooks of the same screen size, but couldn't spot any other hardware changes.
India's Police system and the laws such as Criminal Procedure Laws were formulated by British. The objective was to keep citizens completely depended on goodwill of police and politicians to be free and safe. The exact same laws have continued.
Credit Cards and Cigarettes
Anecdotally, I've gone in the exact opposite direction. I had been doing Ruby/Rails for 3 years up until about December of last year and switched to Python. I can't say I dislike Ruby for any reason, however, I just have no desire to write software with it anymore.
Air also has a fair amount of air in itself.

If 1 cube of a meterial has x% aerographite + (100-x)% air, while air has x% air + (100-x)% air, the material is still going to be lighter than air.

One thanksgiving I showed an 80 year old how to put a candle out with a hand gesture. He was really into it an in his words there are far fewer really new things at 80 than you might think. Which struck me as the core of a lot of ageism, when your young doing just about anything is a solid learning environment, but eventually it becomes tough to continue to develop new skills. Your job becomes all about leveraging what you already know not expanding you into new areas the same for your social circle and if your not careful hobby's.
