"The Man Who Loved Only Numbers": http://www.amazon.com/Man-Who-Loved-Only-Numbers/dp/07868840...

A poignant examination of the mathematician Paul Erdős, and his notion of The Book, "an imaginary book in which God had written down the best and most elegant proofs for mathematical theorems."
One thing you cannot do is infer `const`ness. This isn't a problem in Hindley-Milner systems because variables are not assignable--they're all `const`, all the time. Literals are inherently immutable but when you assign a C++ variable a literal value, sometimes you want a const variable and sometimes you don't.

I don't think C++ can figure out the map<..> part simply because lots of things could have list initializers that accept lists of 2 item lists. C++'s overloading and implicit conversion conflicts with perfect type inferencing. This is an example of the kind of thing the FQA talks about, where several of C++'s issues collide to produce counter-intuitive behavior.

I do wonder if you could get away with this:

const map<const auto, const auto> TagDataMap { ...

I don't have access to a C++11 compiler from where I am to find out though. I am particularly unclear on the interaction between `auto` and other aspects of a type declaration--I don't know if you can nest `auto` like this deep inside some other type declaration. I don't see why you couldn't, but wouldn't be shocked either.
I totally disagree. I believe that television, cartoon series or not, can affect kid's ethics (and behaviour, etc.) when it comes to little things they may not already have guidance on. You know, commonplace stuff like downloading a pirated video. Messages like this may instill fear and / or soften them up for future arguments.

Is it really that tin foil hat-ish to suggest that Disney has a boat in this race, and might try to exert some influence through their content? Hey, maybe they aren't, but I definitely don't think it's terribly far-fetched to question it.
Quartz2d is effectively "Display PDF". Bitmap icons are necessary (at least in the icon portfolio) as they can degrade more gracefully at lower pixel counts.

NeXTStep/OpenStep used bitmap icons.
Cool that they did it, and it's a nice first step, but I think the "cheap, abundant carbon!" angle of the story is misleading.

Silicon is pretty damn abundant, and they're complaining about how expensive it is -- it's the processing that matters, and right now processing cheap, abundant carbon to make defect-free layers of graphene, or uniform mixtures of carbon nanotubes (free of catalyst particles, of identical chiralities, lengths, diameters and tube number) is very hard and expensive.

Personally, I'm super interested in what Twin Creeks Technologies (http://www.twincreekstechnologies.com/solar/ -- no affiliation) is going to do. Their processing technology is completely out of left field and seems like it has huge potential.

Hehe will i do hope in time it grows on you.

We all can agree that naming your product is tough. Especially when registering a domain for it. I initially went with the name "SympleMe.com" but I didn't like having to explain to people that there are two "y"s in the word simply. Time spent explaining about the incorrect spelling could've been spent talking about the actual product. I chose Blobly because well A) I love it :) B) the word "BLOB" stems from a technical term and I felt like it was very fitting for this product.
I came here to ask the same question. Honestly, I was hoping for proper encryption. That's the only feature Day One does not have that I want so very badly. I have no desire to upload my secrets to your server. No offense, but that's just irresponsible for a private journal.

Your voices have been heard.

I'll definitely consider it and see if there's something I can come up with. For now it's Blobly. ;)
There are multiple aspects to payment processing with basic payment processing and integration being the minimum -- Stripe currently has the most beautiful story here.

Things get more complex on the back end of the payment being processed at scale, namely fraud detection and risk mitigation. This is where some of those behemoths in the industry actually shine more.

Stripe passes the risk directly through, you are on your own.

For a lot of folks here working on startups with their first few-hundred customers, that isn't the problem -- the problem is accepting payments and getting back to work. I don't see anyone beating Stripe in that game.

For the folks that have huge customer bases, mitigating risk and dealing with fraud is a much more frequent/costly problem and having a processor help out there is why companies like PayPal (and BrainTree?) are still in people's vocabulary even though a good majority of their experience on the front-end suck.

This is one of those problems that doesn't matter to you at all, until it does... then it is a huge nightmare and you scramble around looking for a solution and suddenly realize why "everyone doesn't just use Stripe" -- or some equally hot new processing startup.

I think it's a very good idea to have something like this in place before you start pouring your soul into a project. That said, I would recommend that any potential co-founders go and consult a lawyer instead of purchasing a template, since your particular situation may differ and a template might not cover all the bases or hold up in court.

colanderman: Yes, I understand the analogy you're making.

Your example of a pixel "meant to represent a perfect square, not a circle" is accurate: that is one type of information that gets discarded with this approach. Another type of information that gets discarded is complex/subtle color gradients/variations.

Taken to the extreme, yes, this approach can make photos look like stylized comic-book drawings; but with sensible defaults, it produces resolution-independent images that look great (such as the example with the dolphin) even if those images actually contain LESS information than a JPEG at the same file size.

We'll have to wait and see...
It seems a lot of these examples are from 'internet marketing businesses' or people selling info products on "how to make money online" or "how to create an email auto responder".

I've been following the internet marketing niche on and off for a while now so maybe thats why I have certain alarms going off in my head when I see words like:

"What’s your biggest fear and frustration?" - Seriously, that is taught in every internet marketing eBook ever made.

And emails with really long pitches that try to be overly friendly and act like we are best friends and mention things like "Tomorrow I’ll be sending you the “Internet Business Toolkit!” and "since we’ve found each other, I’ll be hooking you up with all sorts of cool stuff"

Maybe it works, but to me it just seems so cheesy after seeing the same email format and same tactics from thousands of other wannabe "internet marketing gurus".

I enjoyed this as well, and I know absolutely nothing about the field. I think that's why the writing is so enjoyable, I understood the conversation without understanding most of the details.

I for one would greatly enjoy more such writing on HN, it's a refreshing change from some of the bloggier posts that make the majority of the frontpage.

>Does anyone else think it's a crime that Google, Apple, etc. avoid paying corporate taxes and they should be stopped?

Well, technically, if something has been declared a crime then doing that is a crime...

Is dodging taxes wrong? Of course it is! It gives an unfair advantage to those who can dodge taxes, and that has nothing to do with serving the customer better, delivering a better product or being innovative.

Nevertheless, trying to collect taxes from four years back is also one sort of unethical.

When I see emails like that the first thing that I think is 'spam'. It works though. I know a few people who do internet marketing and make around £15-25k per month. The majority of the work they do is through emails just like you described.
>You aren't putting "useful information" in the classes, you are putting presentation related information in there, if you are displaying the content non-visually it is irrelevant and can be safely ignored.

"This is navigation" is not just presentation, it is real, meaningful information.

>Writing semantic HTML is nice for bots and browsers, but there is nothing stopping you from doing this whilst using bootstrap or whatever

The contortions it would take to make bootstrap work with proper markup would consume far more time than simply writing correct CSS to begin with.
Hrm. I was reading a book about copy writing recently, and one of the takeaways was that you really want to be selling a cure, rather than a prevention.

Meaning, people will pay a lot and care a lot about curing some particular disease, but preventing it... they might pay something for it, but it's probably not really on their radar.

Haskell, with all the fancy CS stuff, is selling prevention, in some sense. "We promise that your code will somehow be better"... well ok, but that doesn't really sell me. I'm being told to eat my vegetables rather than being shown a tasty steak. Compare and contrast with Rails when it came out, which showed you how you could write code that was 1) more organized than PHP, but 2) not as bureaucratic as Java. Cool stuff!

Reality is not black and white, but perhaps there's a grain of truth in there? Perhaps Haskell people could do a better job of showing how the CS stuff helps with real problems? I can't really say as it's simply not on my radar all that much, so they could well be screaming about it from the rooftops and I wouldn't have heard too much.
A hole in your theory is that France is among the least tolerant European countries as far as Islam is concerned. Head-to-toe Islamic garments for women are forbidden by law, for example. So I don;t think they'd be bent out of shape about an inflammatory video on YouTube to the extent of wanting to punish Google; any more than they were bent out of shape about French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo publishing cartoons of Mohammad at the same time. As for the stock lows, that was worldwide news in the financial press because it surprised everyone.
I don't mind so much when they call. I just ask them over and over how much this fantastic opportunity in South Dakota pays and what the exact benefits are (ie: what is the name of the insurer they use, do they pay full relocation, etc). No one wants to give this data out, and yet it's rather critical. It's pointless to discuss my qualifications when your pay is at the median or below.

Yup, didn't want to get into the weeds with the specifics, but we use the same procedure as AWS, where we use the shared secret to recreate the signature provided and then match the two (as well as verifying the method performed is allowed in the policy, and the expiry time is correct). Happy to go into more details if you'd like, also available at https://developers.filepicker.io/docs/security/

In reference to the js library as client-side, the key thing we were looking to solve was how to implement a token-based scheme where even if someone had access to the running javascript via xss or just malicious console behavior, the amount of damage they could do would be limited. Balancing that with the simplicity requirements to not use handshakes and allow for embedding urls within <img> tags resulted in the scheme we implemented

I'm a huge fan of OfLife and I actually use it myself. Phil Libin and OhLife were definitely a huge inspiration of mine when building Blobly.
I don't object out of spite. I'm certainly not the best or most experienced programmer here but I have an idea of the depth and spread of the changes that the proposed enhancements would require. The usefulness of these enhancements must be weighted against their impact on the code base and (and that's very important in Vim's case) the philosophy of the project.

Incorporating all these ideas into a new project, on the other hand…
Seems like something that I would actually use [which is more than I can say about most Ask HNs I see ;)] and I requested an invite, but just out of curiosity why are you saying Bay Area preferred?
For Kid's In Africa, A New Way To Read - Kindle Advertisement
Let's start by considering the original source for the story. It comes from this forum post: http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/15412-post28.html

First off, that begs the question: how reliable do you consider a comment on a forum? Are you going to condemn an entire industry based on that? But that doesn't really matter. As I mentioned in my reply to mikeash, that's just not enough evidence. I'm not going to repeat myself here. You can read my other comment to understand why one piece of evidence isn't conclusive.

To address the Engadget article, it took one paragraph of that post out of context to make a narrow point about Monster cables. If you read the rest of the post (and probably the rest of the forum thread), it's clear that the author is not advocating that there's no difference between any stereo equipment. In fact, the thread that he's posting in is about how to choose the right loudspeakers. The paragraph that was taken out of context is just part of the author making a point to the other forum participants.

In another post (in the same thread), the author writes: "Some systems sound boring, some are absolutely alive (such as on large horn speakers). Others are polite, compressed, but accurate (Martin Logans, Quads). Then again, others are explosive and extremely good at creating 'illusion' of reality such as Wilson Wamm, and like speakers in the $50,000 to $125,000.00 bracket. They draw you into an altered state of mind (hypnosis)" [1]. It seems to me that he's saying he can hear the difference between speakers, which is exactly contrary to the conclusion that you're using his words to support. "Audiophile equipment" and "mundane equipment" includes more than just speaker cables.

You should definitely talk to a lawyer, but it's worthwhile going to them _with a draft document already in place_ -- especially if you are starting with one that has been proven for its purpose. Otherwise you may end up paying them to whip one up from scratch that won't be as good. It will cost you much more than the template, trust me.
Worth noting that nine years and one LHC later, the supersymmetric particles still haven't been found.
Feedback incoming! I enjoy the idea, it makes me imagine being a better, happier person, given the context I already have with gratitude and journaling. Looking forward to the invite! A few points that come to mind from my past usage of similar apps:

* Have you checked out OhLife? I love that it optionally reminds me once a day at the time of my choosing, with an email (Subject: "It's Tuesday, Oct 30 - How did your day go?"). Anecdotally, this greatly increases my retention and activation. Not sure about others.

* OhLife also reminds me of moments in my past, as it learns more about me. (It ends emails with "Remember a year ago? You were all like...".). I've always wanted it to be associated with a mood so it could constantly remind me of good things in my life (filter by mood > X or something). Think 'gratitude' journaling. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gratitude_journal. I've always wanted an app that would make me happier. Gratitude journaling 'coach' app would be as close as I can think of for this vertical, and MVP could be some simple notifications on top of your app.

Your app in particular:

* Mobile will be great for photos and quick notes, but web input (likelihood I'll be able to use a real keyboard) is important to me for journaling. I hope that'll be an available feature.

* I'm on a 15" Macbook Pro and the path that is supposed to visually draw you down through the product explanation to 'invite' were way off the fold for me. I almost thought you'd removed the invite link. I'd suggest scooting things up a bit, maybe cut off the bottom X% of the phones, since by then I get that it's a mobile app.

* I agree with others that I didn't immediately get that it was private. I'd also want assurances that I can get my data out at any time, but the latter may be a bias among HN people.

* This will suffer from a "Mint"-like bootstrapping problem. It's value is extremely low at the very beginning. Any chance it could import moments from an existing timeline (FB? Path?) that I then choose to keep or not in the app?

* There's a certain "one app to rule them all" mentality, and I'm curious what, in practice, I'll do with events that I want to both (a) remember privately, and (b) share with FB friends. Have you noticed anything with this in your own personal use?
I live in California and I like my privacy, as well as having the right to know what information a business maintains on file about me. I supported this law when it was passed and see no reason why mobile apps should be exempted from it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Shine_the_Light_law

Carbon can be anything from an electrical insulator (diamond) to a pseudo-superconductor (nanotubes). So it's "just" a matter of getting the correct structure to tailor the bandgap to the light we want to absorb.

Also, I can think of an excellent use of IR solar cells: turning heat into electricity. Wouldn't it be cool if you could always keep the heat in your house less than 75 degrees F, and produce electricity in the process, because your whole floor is a huge IR solar cell?
If it serves developers it serves users as well. You can produce more, faster, cheaper which is good for users.
I just completed a small side project: A little Ruby gem on Github. And when I say completed, I mean it. It's launched, in use in the wild, and not taking up my time. I started the project last week and finished it over the weekend. I haven't put any effort into it since, and that's not a sign of failure or abandonment. It just means the project is done, barring bug fixes, and that's a good thing.

Sometimes a side project really is just a side project. You do it, you're proud of it, and you move on. I love those kinds of projects.
Just curious - is this actually 'hacking'? Seems that kids are just figure out how to used the installed software on their own....
The details of the equity split are the only parts of this agreement that are non-binding, because they are complex and will usually be couched in boilerplate language as part of the incorporation process. Still, I think it is better to put this information in writing even if it's non-binding because it helps to prevent misunderstandings in the future.
True but a slipping on spilled diesel and falling down a flight of stairs is one danger still think rigging block an tackle would be much more efficient.
I agree, and over longer periods I'm also inclined to let prices float. In a short-term emergency, though, people have to make compromises, just they may have to tolerate things like mandatory evacuation orders.
Interesting, I would have never thought to do this.
Before this happens, it would be really nice if Windows supported different DPIs on different screens. IIRC Linux can already be hacked to do this. Windows cannot. The result of this is I have a 21" 1080p desktop screen sitting next my 14" 1080p laptop screen and I cannot read text on my laptop screen! (I'd move the laptop dock closer but then it'd be sitting on top of my working space.)

As for Windows 8 doing high DPI, Tech Report has a decent article (http://techreport.com/review/23631/how-windows-8-scaling-fai...) on the lackings of Win8 high DPI settings even in Metro. Though feel free to ignore their complaints about browser scaling, each browser takes a different approach to how they break web pages when scaling. (Suffice to say 1 pixel borders and non-integer scaling don't go together well!)

They go into detail about the different scaling options, but the scaling options are all things that the user has to manually enable! Hardly auto-DPI. There is a balance to be struck between "more information on screen" and "better displaying information on screen" that Microsoft apparently decided to not even attempt, instead giving the user a blunt instrument with which to toggle between "way too big" and "way too small".
What? If your room and floor are the same temperature you can't extract energy from that system.
I think it's still true, although less so. Certainly a certain amount of fiddling takes place in an attempt to align to pixels etc., but sometimes icons just need to change at different physical sizes. Small elements may need to be enlarged to remain visible and such.
You'd be a more compelling troll if you chose a different one of my comments to attach this to, since the comment you're replying to is literally just a link to a book.
