This product is also not "revolutionary" in any way, as Austin Meyer hypes. NASA developed this technology over a decade ago during both the AGATE and SATS research programs.

What I like with gitolite is that once it's run, you can create a new repository with custom permissions with only one commit in the "admin" repository. It is also not necessary to create users for your git users.
Depends which start date you take for WWII - The European one of 1939, the Russian 1941 (don't ask about 39 and 40!), or the American one of late 41.
Or the Chinese view that it started in 1937.
I agree with everything you said, but I don't think the article is blaming the internet for anything or even arguing that it was anyone's fault but the artist (and her management). It's mostly just the author pointing out how remarkable it is that the artist did have such a huge head start and was only able to capitalize on a small fraction of it.
Can you shed more light on what conditions made it so that your team was caught unaware wrt the fact that Office was being targeted for Surface on ARM? Is your division not allowed to talk to the Surface/hardware division per anti-trust settlement obligations?
Indeed, there are plenty of other bands/stars that have turned their internet fame into lasting success. For example, OK Go is still doing just fine, they found a niche and became really popular.

Thanks for the feedback, will pass it along.
Kernel states are saved or something, leading to faster bootup times. It's sort of like the hibernate option we've had for so long, but just on a smaller scale. Is it a good idea? Could be and probably is. But I'm paranoid that a clean restart is better, so it bothers me.
you don't. they clean themselves. little hairs bring out the stuff far enough for you to be able to wash without the need for tools. and you might want to to clean your ears out every few years by a pro.
I work on web analytics for several startups here is the general trend.

Google Analytics is the most basic one they start with because its free and easily extendable.

Kissmetrics or Mixpanel for extended time period analysis (cohort, churn, clv).

Mailchimp and Visual Website Optimizer offer one click integration with GA. Mailchimp can be integrated with KM too so that helps tying the data together initially.

Usually once they setup KM/MP they use it for day to day and keep GA as backup. But alot of times you'd find yourself going back to GA to measure impact of an action that you werent tracking in KM.
Well, maybe if MTV hadn't ditched music programming for crappy reality shows, they'd have had a good way of investing in her as an artist if they felt that was warranted.

I suppose this is a valid 'pro.' Creating users is nothing to be feared, though. It is possible and simple to set up a user to be refused a shell and subjected to resource constraints.

I have always placed my git servers in BSD jails to minimise the worry, but you penguins have no such option!
To be fair to Comcast you're running into a few things. In a non-technical kind of way and in no order...

Comcast.com is (stop laughing) a high value domain. You're not likely to get any CA to just hand over a certificate in 2 seconds. It will get flagged for manual inspection and further details will be required.

Large companies like this aren't as simple to handle. If it were a small startup with 3 people you want to bet your pants it would be fixed right away. But I bet you there are e-mails flying around into underpaid mailboxes waiting for a response. Not every corporate office is a well-oiled machine.

But on the flip side it is unfortunate they're struggling with it. The poor front line customer service rep (Carole) has no choice but to assure you they're currently working on it and move on to the next squeaky wheel. Like any person in customer service, her job is to assure you and move on.

If anything, you were generous. You could run WYSIWYG word processors on a 512KB Amiga or Atari. Both with a single M68k CPU at <8MHz. Interestingly they were on the market at pretty much the same time as the secpnd generation ARM CPU's used in the Acorn Archimedes range, and while there were numerous discussions about which were faster, a 7MHz-8MHz M68k is at least in the same magnitude performance wise as an 8MHz ARM2 CPU..

(EDIT: Actually, there was at least one WYSIWYG word processor for the Commodore 64 too - GeoWrite)

Factoring in improvements in architecture on top of clockspeed increases we're probably talking at least a thousand times more performance per core for a Cortex A9 vs ARM2. And that's likely generous towards these old machines too...

(can you tell I'm frustrated that my phone and tablets (Android; not bashing MS for this) are more sluggish than my 1988 Amiga 500+)

"Can you honestly tell us you watched the videos?"
- Yes I did. But my main point is, the post, isn't kinda review. Kickstand issue and mail app issues , isn't that big to be dither about. Approach to response should be more sort of balanced rather than fault-finding and whining.

" it was specifically marketed as the work-friendly tablet."
- But that doesn't mean that we should expect powerhouse performance and after all its RT. Wait for pro if you want that performance. At least it is doing something better than other competition? No one can deny that its better in terms of "work-ready" than iPad or Android tab. Instead of whining about small issues why can't be appreciate what they are trying to build ?

"They are not competing against first generation offering. This is not some child thats needs love and support. This is a commercial product from a for-profit company at a high price."
- Its something like complaining why new hybrid car in market not running x miles at xx speed , when a company brings new hybrid car in market at the time every car maker are busy making gas cars.

There are lots of thing promising about Surface. USB port, Smart Glass, Solid hardware, Office etc. Following is the post I would call more natural balanced response.

This looks like a great tool.. but for these kind of sites, I always feel uncomfortable to signup and then store my personal information in their databases. I could easily end up giving them my personal ideas and my professional work related stuff.. We really don't know who is looking at our data on other side and what kinda security measures(if any) they are taking to secure the same. Your thoughts?
How about "this doesn't belong to the front page" flag for the stories?

Clearly it takes very little effort to upvote a fluff story to the front page and to keep it there. It takes substantially more effort to pull an interesting story up from the New page. For example, I am routinely disappointed with the Front page content, and yet I am very rarely browse the New page. Moreover, this is not going to change, because I know myself. I am guessing I am not alone. There's lot more people who would be willing to clean up the front page from the fluff than those who'd be willing to patrol New page in a search of fitting submissions. Just give us a chance.
"there’s precious little being written outside K-pop circles about his other music, of which there’s a decade’s worth."

Why is what's being written about you what matters? These blogs seem to have forgotten that music blogs do not define culture - music defines culture (and same for tech).
No offense here, and I realise that you probably aren't in management, but if you can't fix a problem with slow typing and you're on the Word team, then the release should have been put back. Seriously.
Things that annoy us may end up teaching us more than things which we love and feel connected. Civility is a precursor to learning opposite and different things. That said, I see a different reason on the flame wars on gadgets and OSes here.

On HN, some people's connection to their OS or gadget may seem to stem from their love, emotions or their distorted consumer perception. However it may indeed be the sign of a "fierce struggle" among different ecosystems on who will dominate the future. Operating systems and hardware ecosystems are the bases on top of which, many other technologies reside. A lot of people here, have invested time and money in certain technologies. Some of us have even started companies focused on certain technologies. For example, if iPhone5 or iPad Mini or Surface is a success, then an iOS App or some Windows skills may pay back better soon.

In conclusion, the loss of civility may be the result of an intensified struggle in recent years, for returns on investments on different ecosystems.

I use a wiki I wrote for the purpose. I'm surprised that so many people are talking about text files and outliners. Hyperlinking is really important! Ideas are naturally hyperlinked.

I just looked at workflowy, and I don't see a good way to link from one place to another. That seems to put it more in the realm of TODO list rather than a place for real ideas.

Compare to paper (which I used to use), the wiki has the drawback that you can't draw pictures easily. But it has the advantage of being searchable.

I have 1300+ wiki pages from the last 8 years or so. It's been one of the more useful things I've done since it's allowed me to tackle bigger and bigger projects.
For sure you can rewrite this framework with Go :-).
Mindroid is a framework that makes Actors very handy, like Erlang, Go and some other programming languages also do.
Sure, but if the right hand is as unaware of the left hand as you describe I don't think Apple has much to worry about. Going up against the dominant player with essentially no price delta means you have to be at least 2x as good.
iPad 1: ~11.5 sec
Hitler made numerous serious errors from applying WW1 tactics, such as over-reliance on fixed fortifications.
If you disagree with the balance of stories on hn, the most useful thing you can do to fix it is visit /newest and vote up stories with interesting content. Nowhere near enough people do this and as a result many stories just slide off the new submissions page unread.

Re lack of civility, this is a normal feature of anonymous interaction which stems from lack of accountability - the only way to deal with it is to impose social sanctions on the users responsible. Everyone can do this by refusing to be baited, and calling out others for antisocial, insulting, or extreme comments.

Actions will have more impact that meta discussions.
"The kids of today should defend themselves against the Seventies" - Pearl Jam, itself a somewhat dated cultural icon.

It's interesting to think about the cultural impact of this if it really catches on, at least in the hacker/geek world. This isn't just a tech demo: It's a self-conscious reconstruction of a cultural artifact, and drags along with it other cultural references and context. Nobody these days is going to 'grow up' with an Apple ][ because of things like this, but, previously, the only way to experience that specific system was to either have been born in the narrow window of time where you had one when they were still at least vaguely mainstream, or to decide to run an emulator and likely get into emulation as a hobby. It's the difference between knowing every Beach Boys song because you grew up in 1960s California, knowing them because you deliberately chose to collect that era's music, and knowing them because, like me, your parents played them practically from your birth and so they became the first band you really liked.

This just makes the past that much more mainstream, the software equivalent of the deliberately dated aesthetic of a Quentin Tarantino film.
> Deceptive about what? They are competing with the iPad more or less. No one is saying this thing is meant for serious production of content, it's meant for consumption of content.

Wat? Wasn't this already answered?

Is this why every single marketing and promotional material shows it sitting on a desk with the connected keyboard? Is this why Microsoft made such a huge deal of the keyboard/screen workflow? (e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mSckyoAMHg#! )

> You can still place it on a table and expect good results as long as you're not 6'3"; or have a higher table then the author's.

Wat? Are you seriously saying that your nature-provided human height is the problem? Let's get a little real here. Can you imagine the product meetings when they reviewed the stand: "Great! We cover 80% of the market place, but no marketing with any NBA players!"
But android is notorious for piracy, what would I do with 500 Mil. clients who - by a great %, pirate apps and do not pay?

I'd go the iOS way hoping to make some money back to stay alive, and maybe make it to the top 100 one shiny day.

My 2 cents and I mean NO disrespect to Android, Android users or devs.

Peace all.

Maps were really the only thing that sucked about Apple's release. Believe me, I'd love to be using Microsoft's product, but the issues being shown here are very good reasons that prevent me from forking out my hard earned cash on this device.

I don't think those bugs would be fixed by replacing the device.
Given that she's aimed straight at the teenage demographic it looks like all this is is an attempt at doing a female re-run of Justin Bieber.

The fact that she signed on with his manager and performs at his concerts, attempts to look 15 when she's 26 and so on give a clear indication of what it is that they're trying to achieve here and I'm frankly not surprised that it didn't work.

It doesn't have much to do with her being 'best of the year', and you'd have to discount whatever success she does have in the domestic market by the Canadian laws that give air-time preference to Canadian born artists.
i know you mean well, but you really shouldn't be posting this. it does not reflect well pn MS if one of their major differentiators, Office, was not in the loop during this major new product's development.

by the way, it is even worse with Powerpoint. every few lines typed i had the screen go white to redraw the whole UI.
Dear adrianmn

I probably not the type of experienced mentor you are looking for. However I've been using rails for about a 1.5 years and have managed to accomplish most of what I've wanted to do with rails in building my own startup app - padseeker.com.

I'd be happy to do what I can to help. Drop me a line and I will do what I can. At the very lest if you are having some of the same issues I had when I started perhaps I can be of service.

While we are on the subject the most valuable book I've purchased in learning rails has been The Rails 3 Way by Obie Fernandez. I highly recommend it.

http://tr3w.com/

Also I used 2 forums frequently when I hit the wall trying to tackle rails problems. I recommend joining both of them and using them frequently. When I have an issue I post it on both forums - Rails Forum and Stack Overflow;

This case is about what happens in the analog world; the interesting thing will be what unintended consequences obtain for the digital world based on this decision. The "law" in this situation is far from clear, and what will happen is that because of the size of the U.S. market, the international consequences of this decision will be severe. It will be interesting to see if any other country files, or attempts to file, an amicus brief.

Stuff like this is just the tip of the iceberg.
I just wanted to reiterate this. From personal experience, this is a bad idea. I never perforated a ear drum with a cotton swab, but I did (and continue to have) extensive ear problems and used to clean my ear religiously as a result, in the hopes of keeping it clean and infection-free. Only later did I realise the damage I was doing. Even something that sounds as benign as compacting ear wax through the motion of the swab (you don't get it all out, and what's left behind gets compressed and built up) can have serious consequences.

I am not a doctor, so don't take my word for it. Here's the relevant wiki page with citations:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotton_swab#Medical_risks

As always, this is one of those things that you don't think about when you're healthy and your ears are fine. But if you've ever had issues you have a whole new appreciation for how delicate your ears are. I always cringe when I read about people using cotton swabs for cleaning their ears, let alone other objects! (I once heard about someone using car keys?! and then puncturing their ear drum)

If this is part of your routine, you owe it to yourself to at least google the issue.
:syntax off
No you did not. You stated that is not possible in Java at all regardless of the implementation. I don't see any mention of " none of the implementations I know of" on your comment.

<quote>
That's not true at all. Each goroutine has its own variable sized stack whereas Runnable objects in Java don't have a stack of their own. They use the thread's stack. So as long as a Runnable uses its stack (that is the run() method hasn't finished), the thread cannot be used by other Runnables.

So, in Go you can have thousands active function invocations (i.e tens of thousands of stack frames on thousands of stacks) at the same time and they do not occupy thousands of threads. You can't do that in Java.

I do hope Apple is in a good mood about this, because apple2+.rom.js loads an Apple ][ Applesoft ROM image, which is technically still copyrighted by Apple.

As an old geezer who earned his programming wings on an Apple ][ coding 6502 machine language and later UCSD Pascal, I am absolutely delighted about this project. I had been toying with the same idea for some time but skipped it due to lack of time and the fear of Apples legal stormtroopers.

Now if only I find disk images of Bandits and Dogfight...

If the article is not blaming the internet then "How the Internet Killed Carly Rae Jepsen" is a terrible title.
There are two sides to it: the Thai student gets the book at a lower price, and the US student gets it at a higher price, and the two may not balance out. In your example, a publisher might sell 2M copies of that X=12M book, 1M for $6 each in Thailand and 1M in the US for $100 each, making a huge margin of (106-12)/12=785%.

In a free market competition should decrease that margin. However, the markets for books isn't entirely a free one. For many books, competitors cannot make close enough clones to actually compete (Harry Potter and fifty shades of grey inspired 'clones' aren't really clones; a physics textbook may have the same content, but it cannot have the exact same presentation order, questions, etc)

The publishers argue that will be offset by other books that also cost them X=12M of which they sell, say, 10K in Thailand for $6 and 10K in the US for $100 at a huge loss. There probably is truth in that, but should one try and enforce that through regulation? If so, how? Prescribe that publishers can make at most x% on every dollar they spend at a printer every year? That would likely make them find more expensive printers for their US wares.

The "I was using the internet before there was an internet" argument is not helpful to anyone in this situation. The first tier support has no way of verifying the claim and even if they did, they still might not be able to escalate the issue before asking the documented questions. The questions in this case seemed quite sensible, I've been caught out with SSL certs expiring before realising my time wasn't syncing. It's not helpful to the OP because it comes across as arrogant and they're not going to endear themselves to the support agent.

Best for everyone is to remain polite, responsive to the agent's requests (however seemingingly inane) and the process will move a lot quicker.

Kiss is the best pop album of the year, and nobody is listening.

The problem is not the artists or the songs, but the format that's being used here as a measure of success. Her album didn't do well because her fans don't buy albums. Her fans will buy songs, one at a time, at 69c a pop. The article even states that it's a "singles driven market". All of the delivery mechanisms (iTunes, Pandora, Last, YouTube, Facebook, Xbox) funnel listeners into the on-demand or magic playlist style of listening. Songs are standalone entities served up as a recommendation, a link or a search result. For this generation the idea of listening to an album is pretty much dead.
Sure does, I was welcoming the Microsoft team to the world of multiple processor types! I think there is still a PPC build of Firefox for Linux as well...

At first I didn't like this story. It sounded too much as though The Kid got stuck in an inappropriate role.

But on reflection, it's more interesting. He was doing fine, then his situation changed. So he changed along with it.

I think that's what I like most about The Kid. He didn't quit, or blame anybody - he altered himself to better suit his environment.
