Your startup can fail at any time before people give two shits about it (and most do, quite quickly), but a good degree from a quality university will stay with you for life.

Actually it'll stay with you for your first entry-level job, after which people will simply stop asking when/where you went to school.
Ask HN: Anyone using Haskell in production? http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1909093
Actually, writing (selling) a put is the short position. Buying is the long position; you profit if the value of the put goes up (which happens when the value of the underlying stock goes down or is expected to go down).
> Opiates [...] (Biggest downside here is addiction

Dependency. Addiction is very similar for all the things you mention, physical dependency is unique to opiates (at least in comparison with LSD, pot and amphetamine).
People rarely face a problem with the language itself. Most of the times its either the problem they are trying to solve, or its interface with the language.
Really? I thought all of HN used Ruby; I of course use Python, C and C++.
Something like a combination newrelic and keen.io?
I'm sure you've thought of this, but now that you're up and running, isn't it possible to buy/hire a pump, run it off the electricity from the already running generators, and pump it up from street level instead, instead of walking up stairs with buckets?
(full disclosure: used to work for NV on CUDA and did very extensive work on Titan, so I am probably biased)

If you think your existing MPI app is going to automatically scale to a heterogeneous architecture (high-power x86 on the main CPU, Xeon Phi cores on the accelerator) and get acceptable performance, sorry, it's not going to happen.

The fundamental constraints on 2012/2013 Xeon Phi performance that determine how apps should be written are exactly the same as current desktop GPUs (small, high-latency local memory that is not coherent with the rest of the system; relatively slow, high-latency link to CPU; ugly interactions with network cards in most environments; fundamental need to hide memory latency at all times). For any sort of performance beyond a standard Xeon, you're going to want to run a Xeon Phi as a targeted accelerator rather than offloading entire processes to it and using a standard MPI stack. This means you're going to be running in a hybrid host/device mode and using compiler directives or a specific parallel language and API to deal with on-chip execution and data transfer, which puts you in exactly the same solution space as with GPUs.

in other words: the Phi of today is not a panacea. you get better tools and more flexibility in terms of the programming model, but the fast path that any of its intended market would use in applications looks identical to GPUs.
The Nexus 4 has a 320 ppi IPS display. From what I've heard, it's the best you'll find on any phone right now. No more pentile AMOLED.
"and best of all, I still get points from all my previous contributions. When I stopped, I had around 8k points; now I have 19k points"

Me too: it's the Bank of Stack Overflow. Like you, I was quite active a few years ago, back when iOS development was quite new (that's my speciality). But you're right, many questions now are very specific ("my code crashes at X", etc), which isn't inherently a bad thing but doesn't float my boat.

Wreck-It Ralph 2012 is a very nice Animation movie. Wreck-It Ralph (voice of Reilly) longs to be as beloved as his game’s perfect Good Guy, Fix-It Felix (voice of McBrayer). Problem is, nobody loves a Bad Guy. But they do love heroes… so when a modern, first-person shooter game arrives featuring tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun (voice of Lynch),

I see your point, but when you consider you are rarely even going to see it, since it is all behind the monitor. From the front, these new machines do not even look different.

Goodwill and trust works if your product is differentiable. Apple's products are glass screens with grey backgrounds. Android has surpassed iOS parity in many ways, and is equivalent in others.

Both the Nexus 4/10 surpass, or are equivalent to, the iPhone 5 and the iPad 3 respectively. Apple has no more products to grow into - outside of Aug reality glasses - where they'll just get squeezed again and Google already has the lead.

Apple's strength is not, and never was, in their hardware. It was software - and it is now commodity. Apple is the new Microsoft.

Linux kills everything that cannot differentiate.

Although I'm mainly a C++ developer, I'm a big fan of functional programming languages.

Haskell is more difficult, it requires to really grasp some computer science principles whereas you can start hacking php/python/ruby right away. It requires to actually think about what you're going to do instead of integrating a couple of libraries: that's a double edged sword.

You need to understand that the added value of Haskell for most start ups is near zero. It will more difficult to hire, the final result will not be better and in the end code quality matters less than business relevance.

If your technical founder is a Haskell guru and knows a couple of engineers, then sure, why not, it may provide some competitive advantage, otherwise just forget about it.
A few fun things to ask:

"Who made you?", "Tell me a joke?", "Who am I?",
"Will you marry me?"
Mind elaborating on that?
There are a lot of people who say 'hacked' in lieu of normal words for normal day-to-day tasks like 'did,' 'accomplished,' 'wrote a blog post,' 'watched,' 'logged in,' etc. We're apparently a long way past the point where most 'hacks' are actually worth discussing.

"How I hacked airtime by logging on and talking to people"

"How I Hacked My Breakfasts by Switching From Muffins to Crumpets"

"Hacking your toilet routine by using three sheets of toilet paper per wipe!"
Only problem is that I'm so locked into the Apple ecosystem. I think this is becoming a problem and hindrance to competition.

No shit. Seriously, this isn't just dawning on you now, is it? This is the exact history of PCs victory over the initial Mac leader originally, and it's playing out in a similar way with iOS and Android today. It's exactly why everyone has been pouring billions into mobile development - everyone wants to be the next MS with a monopoly on the OS, because that's the natural outcome when there are such high barriers to conversion.

Joe Johnston is my number one choice for an Episode VII. Many people could probably capture the spirit of the original trilogy, Johnston definitely would.

For those who don't know, he was a concept and storyboard artist on the original trilogy. He also directed Captain America, which on my second viewing I realized was far more Star Wars than any movie set during WWII has any right to be.

I'd be tickled by a Brad Bird take as well.
You might want to correct the "use iStock" part of your article:
The whole point of having a logo, business name or design mark is so that it will be unique in the marketplace. How can your logo be unique if you're using a royalty-free file that millions of other people could have downloaded? Besides violating the iStockphoto Content License Agreement, using an image in this way also infringes upon the rights of the artist who created the file. If these aren't reasons enough, good luck trying to develop or enforce rights in conjunction with a logo that uses a royalty-free image.

"strong static types save time"

I would find the presentation without controversial points at all were it not for this one sentence :)

"StackOverflow was way more fun (and useful) at the beginning."

Wait, what? How could SO possibly be less useful today than it was a few years ago. Anytime I have any programming question I immediately google it and odds of a StackOverflow answer are very high.

I started iOS dev when it was fairly new and it sucked. So many bugs, gotchas, and misc shortcoming of the dev environment, Obj-C, or the SDK. Every single issue I ran into has now been cleanly answered on SO. Things I wasted dozens of hours on then would take me mere minutes as a new dev today.

I sympathize with it not being as fun to answer questions today, but I have no idea how you can say it was more useful then than it is now.
Completely false. Be it for the potential side effects of such a substance, it would be considered as a drug anyway since it would require proper medical monitoring. Even cosmetics are sometimes at the borderline of drugs based on the claims they make and the effects they have.

The reason why alcohol and cigarettes are not regulated as drugs is rather based on historical, political and economical factors. They have existed for a long time and people are considered responsible enough to know how not to abuse them, they have a well known risk factor, and they bring back lots of tax money to society when authorized.

But for any new substance, you bet FDA would be involved, no matter whether you call it a drug or not.

Perhaps the Fog Creek staff is just really fit, but it seems like it would have made sense to hire some burly mover dudes to haul gasoline up stairs.
For apple it means less raw materials, perhaps less parts, less volume to move around, and they must have other secondary benefits in other areas that we don't know.

The older parts might also get more difficult to get from the supply chain as time goes by (a bit like the old processors that drop off the manufactory chains after a few years), and you don't get much in not using a recent/smaller version of the components.

iMacs are already a very good value proposition I think, and you wouldn't have your better computer without bumping the price point way over what an average consumer would buy I think.

Does anyone know why they have a separate disk IO system when they could more easily just plug drives into each node/motherboard for higher aggregate throughout, less complexity, and a lower overall cost?

EDIT: Blade systems or no, the drives have to physically be placed somewhere. Having a separate subsystem can only take up more space, not less. Two reasons I can think of: (1) independent scaling of compute and storage, and (2) lack of software for a distributed filesystem. Most likely (2) plus inertia is the real reason, all the others seem like rationalizations. For example, they are either able to take nodes offline or they aren't. The need exists whether or not the disks are attached there.

Successful business often requires the perception and exploitation of loopholes – market inefficiencies, gaps in regulation, even misunderstood consumer preferences. Coming out on top is aided by a willingness to explore outside the parameters other people impose upon you, if only because it widens the number of options available.

Were I investing, I would find a willingness to adhere to the rules, the letter of the application instructions, or any other enthusiasm for the taking-of-directions to, perhaps, be a negative signal.
Yes, that did the trick! English (US).
It's only an assault on those individuals and organizations that want to infringe on users privacy. I see absolutely nothing wrong with keeping the general public informed (mandatory) from predatory actions.
By the way, for me, the reason that I really prefer a single-page version of any wall of text article is that I can select all and make the TTS read it aloud while I do something else. Although you did explain how to get the single-page version (set User Agent to iPhone within Developer Tools), a single link would be a bit simpler.
I meant useful for getting answers to new questions.

Meaning, if you're having a problem with something, and you googled it but didn't find answers ... I don't think you'll get useful results by posting the question to SO.

But of course it's still tremendously useful for the archive of questions and answers that it hosts.
My advice: make a list of all the reasons to stay in school. Go through each reason and determine if it's valid.

For me, after doing this, dropping out was an easy decision and I have no regrets. I'm more engaged and challenged each day at TaskRabbit than I ever was in class.

However, ensure you'll have no regrets about your college experience. I achieved my goals, tried new things, and got what I wanted out of college - it just didn't take me 4 years.
I agree with your sentiments completely.

Just wanted to say that it's not so certain that minimalist sites make it easier to browse the site. Look at the most popular sites for the general public: yahoo and facebook. There's nothing minimalistic about them. They are filled with tiny little options and features. And you know something? My parents can handle all these features and use them even more than I do.
I wonder, do you agree with the statement: "If someone remade vim so that you can have variable fonts and some more gui goodness, that would be a good thing"? I'm not saying changing the core of vim. I'm saying, let plugins have more options in terms of how they draw things on-screen? Because, if it's optional, I can't see why that would bother anyone. Unless you think it is simply impossible for anything other than the plain-text, single-font way vim works to have any advantage.

We have stylistic differences, obviously. I've used both vim as my main editor, complete with a very customized .vimrc, as well as dozens of other editors (less heavily), including Sublime Text. I love vim, and it works wonders for me. But I think it's odd that you literally find nothing wrong with vim or nothing that can be improved.

As for "getting users", I understand that you personally don't care. I care only inasmuch as I think the basic way of editing text that vim gives users is so much better, that I wish more people used it. I also care because I'd love something like Sublime, with a proper vim mode that actually manages to do most of what vim does, and that doesn't exist.
If I'm arguing a straw man, you're arguing a red herring. There is no "RDF" at play here. Form absolutely does impact function. In fact, form distinctly defines function.

Please, state a cogent argument otherwise.
every single NoneType error I have gotten using in the python I'm paid to write would go away with a static type system.

Every single function I've changed the signature of and then failed to change one caller would go away with a static type system.

I cannot count the number of times I've had to stop and write down the types of things I wanted to reason about, an d then keep all that in my head, to figure out what was going on in a large code base. Guess what? Most of the types were static. If I had Haskell's good type inference, I wouldn't have had to do any of this time-wasting endeavor.

The statement isn't controversial. Correct code type-checks. When there are type errors in your code, in a dynamic language, they would be bugs found at runtime.

SO used to have new questions every 20 minutes or so. The French Exchange seems to have (on average) few questions per day.
Can we please stop pretending that Steve Job invented anything and had God-like powers? He did not change the way we "connect to each other" nor "how we reach knowledge". He did not invent the web or wikipedia as far as I know, nor did he invent portable computers with network connections. You can probably do better than that.

Now, coming back on your point, Steve Jobs was certainly not a Minimalist himself. He (partially) OWNED a huge company, and he was totally OWNED by his company, by the definition of the book of minimalism itself. Until the end of his life he spent most of his days working for Apple -> which is not a good example of someone detached from earthly possessions. Plus, he was passionate about the products he created, therefore he certainly used them a lot and was "owned" by them as well.

That's why, putting Steve Jobs in a "Buddhic" kind of stature is ridiculous. If you want to find examples of people who live Minimalism, there are much better ones out there.

A couple of things I have observed from my interaction with folks who think a little "out of box":

1. Think on paper - The more you attempt to solve a problem on paper, the more you will explore different angles and have more clarity. You are more likely to eliminate dead ends more quickly when thinking on paper.

2. Imagination - Imagination is a very important ingredient when it comes to solving problems. Ask "out of box" questions to get "out of box" answers. Einstein made many scientific discoveries by asking himself what would happen if he traveled at the speed of light.

3. Solving puzzles may help too. I know a particularly gifted programmer who used to play Tangram a lot during his school years.
The big difference being, Microsoft could make a better browser than Netscape, if they put their best team on it. I don't think Apple can compete with Google at search, unless they want to spend several billion a year (as Microsoft does).

Sorry, I should clarify: I really wasn't being sarcastic.

His advice was valid, but his delivery could have been better.
I guess it depends on whether he actually instantly closed his tab, or wanted to tell them he would have done that if he weren't trying to be so helpful right now.

The instant close-tab comment seemed like an exaggerated hypothetical response to a probably minor concern (assuming you're more than casually checking out the product) instead of a legitimate reaction. Because of that it came off as more mean than legitimately helpful, and meanness isn't the same as harshness.

A lot of the articles and blogs posts that I have read about "hacking" the YC app aren't really hacks, and they shouldn't be - for the exact reason this article brings out. You don't want to misrepresent yourself, but instead you want to show your best side and what your capable of. If you did xyz to your application to make it better, that's not a hack - That's showing your skill and knowledge of yourself and your product, not to mention it proves that you know how to get attention and make yourself memorable. I read a post earlier about a funny video that was submitted, the one with the accents. That's not a hack. That's explaining your product (And might I add in a damn easy to understand way) and making sure that there's something that the viewer will remember (Like I just remembered it now).

You make "visionary" sound equivalent to "simpleton".
You need to understand that the added value of Haskell for most start ups is near zero.

I used to have that opinion as well, but I am slowly retracting it. Very strong typing and great abstraction does make development easier. E.g., I have been writing parsers lately for an application-specific macro language. Writing such parsers using a good Haskell parser combinator library such as parsec is many times more productive than parser generators for most imperative languages.

Another advantage is that strong languages allow you to refactor code easily. If you change some types, the compiler will find type mismatches, allowing you to fix code rapidly. I can imagine that startups often refactor and substantially modify their codebase.

In the end you do not only want to develop an application quickly, but also correctly. If a strong language can be used to eliminate most errors and improve productivity, I see it as an asset to a startup.
Your team's dedication is amazing.

Having been lucky enough not to be placed in the situation you are in, I doubt I could have gone to such lengths to get everything back online so quickly. I admire everything you guys are doing.

Thanks.
My guess is that most of the work they do on this machine won't be bottlenecked on the hdds, so they don't worry about it too much. And it's easier to replace hard drives in a separate rack than taking blades offline to do it.
