I find just calling it app_number and moving on helps. I used to go in circles with names, until I realized how much time and sanity I was wasting. Spending more time on developing the product helps me understand it's core value better and, consequently, potential names to communicate that value effectively to new users.
It seems like spider weaving is such a natural and central ability to spiders. What's more it's hackable. Some wasps inject chemicals that manipulate them to create a habitat for their eggs and be even eaten alive.

yeah. really suprising how someone who builds a 50 camera rig can see installing an OS for free as an obstacle.

> We eventually found a single program for Canon DSLRs, which turned out to be a huge waste of money. In the trial version it had a limited options, so we did have to buy the full software.

The weird thing about Safari is that it's simultaneously a niche irrelevance on a minor computing platform, a groundbreaking web browser of major historical import, and the public face of the most important wad of code in play on Earth today.
3 Ways To Kick-Start Your Content Strategy For 2013
Projected cuts of 10% next year on top of the already in the pipeline cuts of 25% would be difficult to sell as "a tiny cut in the _rate of growth_ of the budget". The cuts to government capital expenditure has been largely the cause for the contraction in the construction [1], which has in turn contributed to the UK going back into recession.

Borrowing in order to increase sales (taxes in the case of governments) or to decrease costs (increase economic efficiency, spending on infrastructure and the like) is a good idea; both companies and governments do this all the time. Borrowing to spend frivolously is a bad idea no matter who you are.

Safari is a swahili name(Swahili is spoken by people of the East-coast of Africa). It means a journey or an adventure. It could also mean a great undertaking. Steve must have known this from his many journeys.:)
You know what's worse than patent trolls gaming the system? It's all of those people in the world who say, "Yeah, IV is smart. They've found a loophole and are exploiting it. Nothing to be done."

Wrong. Who runs this place? You and me. And if enough of us want to change the law to put IV and it's clones out of business, we can do it. This place is our home, our nation, and we get to decide what's allowed here. Our biggest challenge is not IV, but all of those people in the world who give IV and people like them a nod, a kind of respect, an admiring acknowledgement that they've abused the system and gotten away with it. It's the same respect given to influential bankers in Wall St and London, it was the same respect given to Bush, the same respect given to wealthy men accused of rape and murder who never serve time. Any and every action taken against these entities seems to either melt away entirely or result in a slap on the wrist. Meanwhile people who hack celebrity emails get 10 years hard time. People making $20k a year get audited and go to prison.

It is not okay. There is nothing to admire, and patent trolls are merely smug abusers of our society. Organizations that follow the letter of the law but ignore the principles behind them should inspire our strongest contempt. Their existence's only positive value is as a clarion call to vigorous action by our legislators to amend the law to close the gap between the letter and spirit. The longer we wait, the less legitimacy the rule of law has.

Our elected officials, the people we keep voting into office cycle after cycle, are far more interested in playing their political games. They do have some time leftover to actually govern. But governing takes common sense, and whatever they have is shattered by lobbyists who's only job is to undermine common-sense with smooth-sounding arguments - or, if that doesn't work, threats of withdrawing campaign support. Our leaders are dazzled by arguments of complexity when the heart of the problem is genuinely, truly simple:

Introduce and pass a bill to eliminate software patents, retroactively, and do it now.

Well, I can't see how "killing elephants" is different than "exploiting the natives; killing rare animals".
Safari is phonetically a very nice name, however it still bears negative connotations. At least for some people.
Except for one complication. Japan's public debt is largely owed to it's own citizens, such a large proportion being internal debt. Even if they defaulted on the external component, they'd still have a problem of the type Iceland could avoid. Iceland wrote off banking debt, which was something like 70% of their external debt.
It's not twice as many bombs, it is (using your numbers) six time as much bomb mass as payload mass, so 50Kt payload, 300Kt bombs for slowing down, which gives you 350Kt payload for the acceleration phase, which would require another 2100Kt of bombs to get up to speed, for effectivley seven times the launch mass
Not sure of the actual origin, but it seems to me that Safari is a reference to "journey", and works with the OS X naming after big cats. Then again it could just make sense in hindsight.
Why don't they just replace the proxy with a list of other proxies for TPB? Any problem can be solved with just one more level of indirection...
> anybody who thinks this is a "lot" of money for fashion photo...a common camera for doing fashion photography costs $35,000+

the money spent on hi-end fashion shoots isn't in cameras. leased/bought equipment works for itself hundreds of times, and when you do the math for cost per shoot, the camera would probably be one of the cheapest items on the expense list after coffee.

> No, this isn't for porn, it's probably for fashion photography.

ummm, more like packshots.
As technology progresses we can probably assume that at some point in the future virtually all devices in use will have fast enough network connections and decoders to play videos that are the highest quality the human eye can see. At this point it would only be worth encoding in this "highest" quality. Of course, by this time we may have new screen technologies such as holographic displays.
So if they "do not grasp yet how things work on Linux", Why they are not meeting Canonical guys and get some help? I believe they do things as they do now is they are looking forward for interoperability with other distros in their own way.
I was born in South Africa and have spent half my life in its neighbour, Namibia. Both countries are well known for diverse wildlife and vast unspoiled natural habitats.

"Safari", to me, is a word foreigners use unnecessarily and some locals chuckle at when they hear it. Locals simply say "We're going to Blahblah National Park for Christmas." It's also the name for a brand of dried fruits and nuts, which makes it even weirder to hear it in conversation here.

I honestly didn't grasp the relevance of the name to the Internet until you explained it now, despite programming for over 15 years and living in Africa for over 29 years.
When you're on a safari in amazonas, that's what you need in order to find your way (well, nowadays a GPS might do wonders, but when the name safari was historically established, there was no gps)
Given that Safari/WebKit is based on KHTML, I'd say that Alexander was named after KDE's Konqueror.
Well, Safari used KHTML, and the big KHTML-based browser at the time was called Konqueror...
So not "being able" to default is not a result of being in the Euro, but of wanting to remain in the Euro...
>God, not being a rapist, does not force anyone to love Him.

Does anyone else find this quote hilarious? It's like saying "John, not being a rapist, does not force anyone to have sex with him" when the guy's presently in a backalley with his pants down and a knife at some chick's throat. He's not forcing the matter--he'll just kill them if they don't comply. That's clearly still a choice!

(Perhaps this is also why there are never any "legitimate" rapes??)
It certainly is illegal in France.
Refusing to sell without a valid reason is an exception to contract liberty since the sixties (article L. 122-1 du code de la consommation). The former situation was seen as biased in favor of the sellers.

Whether alleged violation of the user term is a valid reason is open to questions. Without going to court, I strongly doubt it is.
There is a book, "Freefall: America, Free Markets, and the Sinking of the World Economy"(2010), by Joseph Stiglitz - an economist of Nobel prize fame and former Chief Economist of the World Bank, who very early saw the coming of the global crisis and was laughed at in 2005-2006 for his opinion, esp. at a then held Davos summit.

In his book he elaborates deeply - but accessibly for "laymen" - what went wrong, how it could be fixed, but against whose interests in US the ideal public policy solution would have been, and so why just a dubious set of half-measures were taken, by whom, and how it might all worsen as situation in the near future.

So far, for the period from 2010 to 2012, what he claims and predicts seems right and rings true to me.
Ireland is in the EU and it was the EU that apparently decided that losses for senior bank debt holders were not going to happen. This is because of externalities it would probably have bankrupted most banks due to increased borrowing costs and upset the cosy setup where most government debt is funded by banks in southern Europe. But it was not Ireland's problem and Ireland should have made other countries pay to bail out the bond holders.
I once came up with a great name for a product I was hacking on with my roommate, so we used that name internally. By the time we'd been coding for a few weeks, though, what the product actually was had evolved and the name was no longer relevant (despite being scattered throughout the codebase, the github repo, the directory structure, etc).

Ever since then I've been a codename fan. I go for liquor names (since I work at home across from the booze shelf)- I'm currently building Frangelico.
I believe it was called the depression of 1920-21. I would certainly be up for it, as an alternative to following in the footsteps of Japan.
Yeah, this is about when you run into that whole "how can you have free will if god is supposed to be omnipotent" problem that's been dogging various religions for centuries...
Oh for fucks sake. How many times does this bullshit get promoted. Iceland != Ireland! Or any other distressed european nation for that matter. It's FUCKING TINY. Population: 320k. GDP: $14bn, or 1/1000 that of the US, or 1/100 that of a peripheral european nation. The impact of Iceland defaulting on it's debt does not compare to a "full-sized" nation. </rant>
After looking more it appears that I was doing something that only works when targetting a chroot environment. My mistake.

It would be interesting to think more about user-level applications and how that sort of trust would work, if it could.
I remember a very poignant image of a bunch of Chinese students building a replica of Lady Liberty.

Can you explain why this would have been the case if all they were concerned about was crony-nepotism and redistribution of profits or whatever it is you're saying.
How important is this concentration for modern technology, anyway? Do flights to SF not make up for this in terms of meeting investors and other contacts?

And sometimes I feel like the SF filter bubble is harmful. There are niche markets around the world called "cities not named San Francisco". I know that where I live, there are no good quality websites for local services or other keen initiatives. Many of the SF "Failures" could easily kickstart themselves in a town like mine, I think.
All office actions are signed by a primary examiner or supervisory primary examiner. Junior examiners cannot sign their own office actions.
Seems like a flight would be more appropriate than moving and losing your friends.
I guess it's an effect/payoff tradeoff. All the same, it's an annoying reminder of how Silverlight helped in a very small way to tarnish the web for Linux and Mac users.

This is an exhibition catalog excerpt. The artist (from the 1850's) is being exhibited because of his links to XYZ (the guy with the most expensive photograph ever sold at auction, linked above, in 2011). The Guy XYZ is a student of Becher (==New Topographics), the former a Pioneer of the original aesthetic now called Topographic/s. That, in a nutshell is the point I was making. Interesting stuff was happening in the 1800's. In Art. With Photography.

I didn't say photography was unimportant. I said that it's hard to defend your statement that photography is the most important of the arts. I don't see you defending that statement.

== I don't need to. Its not critical to the point.

If you have a true interest in the subject matter, its worth looking into further. I would encourage other HN readers to do the same, if they have an interest in it. The interesting stuff in contemporary photography is well-beyond what you've listed. I'd take that as an opportunity to learn more about the subject, rather than taking it personally. For the most part, it is German and Japanese leading the way. Books are your friend, and an increasingly good investment.

There are only two hard problems in Computer Science: Cache invalidation, and naming things.
This is a great article, I can totally relate.
I have been doing work that had not involved deep work for maybe a year, I kinda had plateaued my learning as a result of an unchallenging and demotivating work environment, I realised this is not what 'I' wanted to do, so I got out. I have hacker news to thank for this partly too.

4 months later I feel like a kid again my mind is like a sponge for knowledge, and because I have cleared my desk of non beneficial work, and as a result I have been learning at a fantastic rate.

Things I have been spending my team on include, functional programming techniques, JavaScript client architecture, pure REST api design, algorithms, visualisations in the browser (d3), geojson, node, mongo, redis, to name but a few
I thought that too might prevent foundries to license their fonts, but it turns out that services like typekit are in fact already putting these fonts online, without any real guarantee against pirating. It's just not very convenient to do right now, but definitely doable, as stated by typekit themselves : http://blog.typekit.com/2009/07/21/serving-and-protecting-fo...

So, if foundries are allowing that on the web, why the special treatment in native apps? That is one of the points of the article.
That's... not apt-get. Three commands that can be copy and pasted is about 10000x more elegant. In that it works in Linux and Siverlight doesn't.
You are on the right path, my son.
Yeah, and also Jesus saying that all the laws and codes from the old testament are still valid. Better put all the girls on the rag outside your home once a month, or god'll get real angry. You won't like him when he's angry!
True that a single instance doesn't demonstrate an industry trend, much less a trend in general. However, Henry Ford did have thousands of employees, and does provide some indication to human motivation. However, that was in the early 1900s in the US. Human motivational factors in the early 2000s may be quite that different.
Very cool. Good stuff. Bookmarked as well.
Yes, that is the relationship. All of the components were named after (K)conquerors.
Varies wildly from company to company. Some will keep an eye on the market, and make sure they are paying you market rate. If you're great, they'll make sure you're paid more than market so you don't have any reason to even talk.

However, many companies will only open their checkbooks when you're hired, or when you have an offer they need to counter. These are the companies that suck to work for because everyone is talking and interviewing to get their next raise. How can you trust your employees?
Would you punish your unconditionally loved child by dropping them into a volcano for eating at red lobster? There's spankings, and then there's the whole mass murder/eternal damnation combo thing.
This will largely depend on the company - its size, its domain, and it will also depend on one's position within the company.

For example, the same senior C/C++/Java dev can have recurrent annual 10% raises in a larger enterprise or government outlet. He may also get irregular 20-30% performance based raises that sometimes double as retainers. While more likely to happen in a small companies, I saw it happen in larger (500+) companies too. Alternatively, he may get a year-end or a project-end bonus.
finally, he can also get no increase, which is the kind of bonus favoured by the game development sweatshops.

No wonder there's no unified stats on this. How can there be.

To me, Instagram (a competitor) being bought by Facebook is a huge opportunity. Just look at all the people "leaving Instagram" right now due to predictable changes in their TOS.
Former examiner here. That's basically how it works. As an examiner you do your best to reject every application. There's no other way to go about it.
>An axe-wielding rapist is mentally sick.

As is the god found in the bible, if you've ever read it start to finish instead of (like most people) cherrypicking choice quotes from what you heard the pastor tell you some sunday morning.
OT: There are a lot of people in this thread thinking about starting or joining a Health IT company. I'm hiring (> 7) engineers, happy to help (answers questions, make introductions etc) or hire, email is in profile.
I think I would be a little offended if my deity liked me as much as my axe wielding rapist counterpart. I feel like not being an axe wielding rapist ought to count for something, relatively speaking.
Constand delta time does not solve collisions. You should always be using continious collision detection for things you care about, or eventually something will go to fast even for fixed dT.

One good argument for variable dT is if you do enough logic such that game time may be a major performance bound. If on a machine that is running fixed dT cannot perform all computation in the allotted time, then the game will get behind schedule, and how do you resolve the problem of having a wall clock 10, 100, or more frames ahead of simulated time when you can't keep up. In that regard variable dT degrades more gracefully.
Great names often have some negative connotations.

Caterpillar is such an excellent name, that almost everybody remembers it once they have seen it. That can't be said about many other building machinery brands. But you can bet that when that name was proposed, somebody raised objections because "you can't name our powerful machines after an insect"

Virgin Airlines has very negative connotations ("Virgin communicates that we are inexperienced and not safe to fly, and that's a show-stopper in airline industry, Mr. Branson. shouldn't we consider another brand for our airline subsidiary?")

It takes balls to pick a great brand name, because almost all names have minus sides.

I'm bit naive at cameras and thought best ones were being produced by Nikon or Cannon so this new brands are enlightning. I was just looking at one of the Hasselblad: http://www.hasselbladusa.com/media/2081132/uk_h4d-60_datashe....

This thing has massive 54x40 mm sensor VS current full frames which have "only" 36x24 mm. That's 2.5 times bigger sensor than full frame! And that's 60 mega pixels. One thing that pops out is ISO which is listed only at 800 (vs Canikon's 32000) so I assume these cameras are designed for very bright light studios and to yield minimal amount of noise possible.
How does splitting up a country seem easy? It didn't go so well for the US in the 1860's. Over 600,000 people died.
Someone in an HR role would have familiarity with this.

Also, glassdoor would be able to provide stats on this for decently large companies if they implemented this. I'm just a little hesitant to trust their numbers as is since some tech companies have obviously been around for a while...
The funny thing is that the "mainstream economists" should have been discredited since the crisis started. Because none of them was able to predict the crisis, because all of them pushed for the policies that led to that crisis. So of course they weren't going to cry disaster when they proposed it. I remember them being blamed for a while, but in the end nothing has changed.
> Indeed, especially since most domain parking garbage sites seem to have robots.txt files for some crazy reason.

Presumably to avoid being plagued (in terms of load and bandwidth costs) by the numerous crawling bots looking to update their caches of pages that no longer exist on those domains.
I think most people are resigned to the existence of bureaucracies, despite such problems as rent-seeking, inefficiency, etc, as long as they meet a few basic criteria:

(1) they serve some reasonably obvious positive purpose

(2) the negative effects of what they do aren't too noxious, in particular when compared with (1)

The TSA, it would seem basically fails on both points. Despite the good intentions with which it was formed, it's pretty clear that they don't improve safety in any significant manner (you might find people some disagree about this, because they believe the security theater, but I think the number is dropping). The negative effects of their existence, of course, are legion, (I suspect it's quite hard to find anybody that disagrees on this point!).

So I'd suggest the public probably on average doesn't support the TSA to the same degree they might other bureaucracies, even those that they find annoying.

Unfortunately, of course, the public's opinion on the matter is of little importance once the system is in place...

high iso is for where people move - journalism and sports. model shots are low iso, because you use lighting anyway (natural or/and artificial) and the quality needs to be perfect.

> This thing has massive 54x40 mm sensor VS current full frames

because it's a medium format camera which by definition is bigger than full frame.
How is this marginally difficult to parse?

A CSS3 selector could easily just get this - in jQuery:

$('div span').attr('class')

will easily give you the expression that returns all the classnames - easily mapped to whatever output you want.
I don't think the patent office is under any obligation to grant any particular patent. If they are unable to properly process a patent application, the consequence should be a decade long backlog that forces lawmakers to make a more sensible law, not a mountain of bogus patents that are worse than useless.
>Borrowing in order to increase sales (taxes in the case of governments) or to decrease costs (increase economic efficiency, spending on infrastructure and the like) is a good idea

It can be a good idea if the economic activity that results covers the cost of borrowing. But that's not an easy thing to determine, and any rational start to the process tends to get warped by political reality. The fetish for infrastructure spending results in, for example, rail projects that lose ¥32 for every ¥1 they take in:
