According to Spotify, they are cutting a fair deal with labels, who are then screwing over the artists. But the full numbers are not available, so it is tough to say. I think the idea that streaming music will destroy the music industry is a bit extreme.

It's a shame that a search for seatgeek on the iPhone results in the usual no listings. Maybe in a day or two it will work, but I really hope Apple get their search indexing latency sorted out soon.

The merge window for 3.7 opened on September 30th, so it's not that old.
Thank you for the feedback. I'm working hard to improve the service as much as possible.

As far as spamming, reviews are moderated but one-liners are very often passed through, because they are useful. The idea is to get, say, 10-20 reviews of your site, very quickly.

P.S. Yeah, it's A/B :)

Sorry about that. We'll get a fix out there ASAP.
I wish I could pre-order the Pro already. :(
I completely agree with you. I don't believe that every action is correctly designed to optimize gene transmissions and I think you put it into very eloquent words with: "it is trying to say that we are at a global maximum in a space that is probably more nonlinear."

However, I think that there are certain actions that we take that are clearly defined by our genetics, like the fact that we eat, or that we have sex. And having affairs is one of those.
It does, thanks, though it's not my main concern.

I'm not overrating (really, overestimating) anybody's collective importance, I simply think degradability is a good idea. When I said it was a "world" like that, it was that these things exist, and coupled with disability concerns I work accessibility into everything I do. What is the downside? What of a contemporary web app is impossible to degrade?

As far as penetration of these plugins go, a comparison of Google Analytics numbers with raw logfile analysis makes that very clear.
They ignore them, sadly. They did a PR stunt claiming to be open source a while ago, but all they did was release some patches to apply Miui to AOSP if one wanted to do so, but they infrequently update it as Miui updates itself every week (https://github.com/MiCode). They don't have to really give any of that out since it's all Apache Licensed.

However the ironic part is the areas of the Android source they must disclose under GPL, they avoid sharing. They don't release the kernel for any of their devices as well and that's a huge GPL violation. I would presume if they did release it for their own phones, it would be on here with the rest of their stuff. The rest of their official sites (there's a lot of non-affiliated English and other language sites that label themselves as Miui) are in Mandarin and much harder to navigate if you're an English speaker.

Doing a google search for Xiaomi MI2 kernel source, turns up nothing positive about their kernel or about them and GPL though.
Right, it's stupid to go after the small fry, but nor is this evidence that copyright in general should be abolished, as some think. The balance is somewhere in the middle.
The article claims 38 kwh to go 100 miles for the 85 kwh model. So, if a kwh is a dime, that's 3.8¢ per mile.

The 85 kwh model does 0 to 60 in 4.4 seconds. How many miles per gallon would a comparable gasoline powered street rocket get? Maybe 15 or 20 if you are lucky? Let's be optimistic and say 20. Then, if gas is $3.75, that's 18.75¢ per mile, or about five times the expense.
Agreed- I've used gists heavily in my blog posts and they look pretty terrible right now. I sent feedback to Github via Twitter. Hopefully they'll fix it quickly.
Moderating is a bottleneck but it'll improve. There's currently a queue of sites but the idea is to make it as short as possible. Yeah, instant feedback would be really cool! :)
Will do. I forked on Github from philipithomas. I'm mail@philipithomas.com.
It's double licensing, a fairly common thing in commercial open source software. Essentially, you can either download the modules for free under the AGPL, or pay to get them under their 'special' license, which is derived from the AGPL but has extra clauses/exceptions. Of course, this only applies to modules written by OpenERP S.A. themselves, since usually only the copyright holder can license however he wants.
Ufff, Eternal September on HN.

Worth mentioning, the ATDC, the Georgia Tech incubator, is actually over 20 years old rather than a new thing as the article implies. They've recently done a lot to improve their handling of early startups, however. Amongst other things, Mindspring went through the ATDC back when they were in their early stages. More interesting things Georgia Tech has done recently include the InVenture Prize (https://inventureprize.gatech.edu ) that encourages students to create new inventions. Winners get patent filings and such. Additionally, they recently created Flashpoint (http://flashpoint.gatech.edu ), a startup accelerator.

Meanwhile, right next to Georgia Tech campus (in the basement of the Biltmore) has sprung up a space that is rapidly becoming a common spot for entrepreneurs (at least those who live around there), Hypepotamus (http://www.hypepotamus.com ). Atlanta Startup Village, a monthly-ish event to let folks share what they're working on, is also held out of Hypepotamus (http://atlantastartupcommunity.wordpress.com/2012/12/07/atla... ).

Culture-wise, Tech itself is on top of Midtown which has plenty of nightlife. Other hotspots include the Old Fourth Ward/Edgewood areas (the sound table, noni's, Church), Virginia Highland (Dark Horse Tavern, Hand in Hand), Buckhead, etc. Old Fourth Ward, Little Five, Edgewood, and other places in Atlanta all have active arts communities (see for example http://fluxprojects.org and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goat_Farm_Arts_Center ). There are several bars to keep an eye on both up-and-coming and better known bands (for example, Smith's Olde Bar), and ~an hour and 15 minutes away is Athens, which has its own thriving arts and music scenes.

I think the trick with Atlanta is nothing is pervasive—you have to know where to look, and it's not necessarily obvious where to do so. But I think if you know where to look, you'll find there's plenty of culture to be had. The good news is, there are many very smart and motivated people working to increase the visibility of both the culture and the startup community of the city. I think we'll increasingly see the effect of these efforts in the near future (indeed, I think they've already begun to have a clear effect).
It seems that you were not really there during the 80s.

First 'Lisp' can't bet. It's a programming language. As a community it is extremely diverse.

Let's get the history of Common Lisp right. Common Lisp was created to unite the successors of Maclisp (and related languages) and to make it feasible to create and deploy applications written in it. During the development of Common Lisp from 1982 on it was immediately implemented on all kinds of machines: especially on Unix, Windows and Macs. LUCID CL was a commercial system for Unix, LispWorks started on Unix, moved to Windows and the Macs, Allegro CL was on Unix and moved to Windows and later to the Mac. Golden CL was on Windows. Exper CL on the Mac. Macintosh Common Lisp on the Mac. KCL/AKCL/... on C. CLISP in C. Plus tons more.

When I worked in an AI Lab in the early 90s, developers were using: Macintosh Common Lisp on Macs and Allegro CL on SPARC/Solaris (used in 'planning and configuration'). We had a LispWorks license for SPARC/Solaris for an image processing project. Golden CL on Compaq/Windows. Lucid CL was used on SPARC/Solaris for a commercial project. Lisp Machines were not used anymore.

It just happened that at the end of the 80s / beginning of the 90s the development of applications which were typically developed in Lisp moved to C++. Reason: better deployment options on machines of that time and 'momentum'. Some then even moved to Java later. Few moved back when Common Lisp came back during the early 20xx years.

Common Lisp lacks 'standard lacks facilities' - just like most languages. Java has Swing, but it's not really successful. Then came SWT. ...

It's not that the Common Lisp community did not try to develop a GUI library standard. During the standardization process there were efforts in that direction. For example 'Common Windows'. But the funding died out and when new platforms appeared (Cocoa, GTK, ...) Common Lisp was out of fashion. The result is that the best GUI toolkits for Common Lisp are commercial: CAPI from LispWorks and Allegro's GUI Toolkit. CAPI runs natively on top of Windows, Cocoa and GTK+.

Common Lisp implementors support the development of Windows applications usually through the commercial offerings: Allegro CL and LispWorks. With some minor alternatives. It's just that these tools are expensive - as expensive as comparable options for other languages.

also, you can easily get the latest linux kernel to work with Debian; Im currently running the 3.2 kernel on squeeze, although it comes with 2.7 by default. And im no kernel hacker; they have an easy way to do just this:http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch08s06.html.en

How many projects do you see promoting reader macros? The only package I ever used that came with one was CL-SQL, and it was really unpleasant to get everything working. Reader macros are another example of a feature that Lispers haul out when discussing the benefits of Lisp but never use in practice, because they're almost always more trouble than they're worth.

The reason you perceive this as not terribly useful in practice is my overall point: once you're good enough with Lisp to develop this, you think in terms of s-exps and don't see the point. The primary technical advantage of infix notation is that the book you're getting the formula from used it, so it's easier to see if you transcribed it correctly. A secondary advantage is that it's what you use in your head and on paper. If the advantages of Lisp syntax outweigh the advantages of a lifetime of schooling and compatibility with the world at large, you are, at last, a Lisper. :)
I don't quite understand. Where do environmental factors come into play with MPGe? I thought its a plain measure of energy.

Unfortunately it's often a good proxy metric for the deeper stuff like consistency and test coverage.
I do not think you can have a "hacker friendly" OS that is closed source.

I suspect that if a hacker friendly OS that "just works" does come out, it will be from a computer company trying to offer a non Windows option (either for price and/or because people start not liking Windows). Given the volume of computers such large companies make, the unit cost associated with a polished OS will be very low. Although this OS would be designed for the average user, the company would likely choice to use open source programs for cost.
Maybe somebody changed the link?
Ask HN: how much time did you *really* spend on that "Show HN: My weekend hack"
This is a genuine question/curiousity that I have. I frequently come across "Show HN" submissions that claim to have done it over the weekend. But looking at the apps makes me wonder if it really just took a weekend.
Wondering if ppl would share the actual time taken to build an MVP/app whatever.

I do understand that many CRUD apps can be hacked over a weekend. But some of the mor real world stuff that is shared, I highly doubt it. or is it ?
Well, if you want a "hardcore" game that works really well (user-interaction wise) on the iPad, get "Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition" - a game originally released for the PC about 15 years ago and one of the best in it's genre (CRPG).

One word of warning though: this version is still quite buggy and might be considered an alpha release. Very enjoyable game though and I'm confident Beamdog will release updates in the coming months to further improve gameplay and reduce bugs.

Might also want to download the "12 days" app by Apple. Near the end of the month they will give some apps / music / books / etc... away for free. Last year got (among others) a "Broken Sword" (adventure) game this way.
Thank you for the warning!
Heh, I have visited friends in college who spend their entire time "talking" to each other while being distracted by Twitter, surfing the web, playing video games, and other activities. It's a bizarre experience and for me, it didn't result in any engaging conversations. But I've come to just accept it.

From what I know, humans have very short attention spans. Isn't this why newspapers and magazines are popular? At 25 articles, you get to hit a good variety of content for the reader. I don't think magazines are as focused as a novel or textbook. The internet just magnifies that aspect immensely.

I think conversations reflect this short attention span. It's easy to jump through 10 different topics in the span of minutes, even without distractions from the internet. The sort of focused conversation doesn't usually happen. At least, not without some concerted effort. In the classroom, teachers can moderate the discussion to keep the conversation relevant. This is important because teachers are trying to teach something.

In a casual ad-hoc conversation, I don't think the people particularly care about learning something. So you get gossip, stories, all manners of nonsense (maybe some consider it noise?) in addition to potentially useful information. But the topics are scattered, the order of topics may be confusing, etc. If you are looking for a more engaging concentrated conversation, you'll manage it somehow. By controlling the flow, or talking to only one person, or something.

The people that spend more time stuck with their phones either don't have anything to contribute to the conversation or are afraid of doing so. They just suck at conversation-making, at least within that party.

And I don't think being connected to the internet 24/7 is particularly bad for most people. Before the internet, you would have couch potatoes that would spend hours in front of a TV and radio a day. And I'm sure people managed to be anti-social before the days of TV and radio.

Sure, it's easy to spend all your time with the tube or the internet. But but I don't think it's anti-social. I think the concept of anti-social reflects the people around the person more than anything else. If you don't like your family and thus don't do very much at family gatherings, they'll be bound to think you're anti-social. Same thing if you go to a high school where you don't get along with anybody because your tastes and interests differ. Boom, guidance counselor will call you anti-social, not being able to keep up relations with friends, etc.

----

So, the question. Why do I think this? I meet anti-social people on a day to day basis, because I'd like to bring them out of their shells. I think the people they tend to be around affect them the most. Especially because even a normally sociable person can exhibit anti-social tendencies if you take them out of their comfort zone.

And I've been able to have engrossing hour-long conversations with people that others consider anti-social, so it doesn't feel like they are anti-social. Maybe they just get uncomfortable easily. Or not interested in meeting others.
I love you. You just made my day by posting this link!
Yes, it'll be fixed today or tomorrow. Thank you!
I know nothing about Instacart, but are they selling the items themselves or are they just a delivery service? Although I imagine an alcohol delivery service has its own problems, specifically with regards to age verification. This shouldn't surprise anybody, alcohol law is complicated. They should feel lucky they have not been hit with heavy fines over this. Everybody in California should feel lucky they can buy alcohol at a Safeway, over here in Maryland chain grocery stores(in fact all non-franchise chains) are not allowed to have liquor licenses.

When people start mentioning price for these sorts of things I get a little confused, volume licensing for a bunch of hyper-v servers running 20-30 windows guests is actually quite cheap (you only have to pay for each licensed host server) I also have seen mention of a per user cost for ad? not sure where you got that from... I think exchange goes for about 6 bucks a user or so.. the next office setup ill be looking at will be three beefy hyper-v servers and running most applications on windows core... windows is now getting to the point where the only time I need to do any work is for weekly windows updates.
Thank you, suggestion noted. :)
No, MPGe is based on 33.7 kw hours = 1 gallon of gas. It's trying to measure based on energy efficiency, not pollution, and not cost to the driver per mile.
How is it sound? Bearing the children of a male that is not a proven provider is more risky than bearing the children of a proven provider (the children will thus be more likely to be providers themselves). The sperm competition would be based solely on sperm motility which is a very poor indicator of evolutionary advantage.
Yes, I'm serious. The product isn't even released yet, and yet you're crapping all over it because you found a bug. I find that an unreasonable attitude.

I am the CIO for a $300M company. We have two ERPs in-house, one of which is a very profitable and widely used off-the-shelf system. Over our three years of use of said system, we have found a number of bugs. We find them, we report them, and they are dealt with (albeit a bit slowly). We'd fix them ourselves, but of course we have no access to the source (which is not the case with OpenERP).

Hurry...please point out an ERP which doesn't have bugs. You can't. It sucks you found one in OpenERP so quickly, but complaining about it without offering recreate instructions is useless to everyone.
Is it just me who doesn't see the point of using a templating engine with a language like PHP?

As long as you use the MVC paradigm or at-least sperate views from business and data store logic it seems like PHP works fine to do the templating its self.

Yes I can see the argument that non coders have to learn PHP, but is PHP really much harder to learn then the template language?

Also templating add's performance overhead.

What you essentially end up with is a "hypertext preprocessor preprocessor"
> So, if it makes you feel any better, Visual Studio 2010 was developed, at least in some major part, using WPF

It doesn't make me feel better, especially since I have to support a product that uses WPF, suffers from a massive leak that (unless gc is _manually_ called every rendered frame) just stops the program from working without reporting any error - a bug microsoft does not intended to issue a fix for for WPF4 (so .. never going to fix): https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/... - reported to Microsoft more than 2 years ago.

When this product gets rewritten, it's going to be either web or an Android app. It sure as hell not going to be using any Microsoft tool.
Right now this is my set up:

27" Cinema Display

2010 MacBook Pro

5' writing desk

Apple wireless keyboard

MX518 wired mouse

I am trying to sell my MacBook Pro so I can build a new pc but even after do that only the MBP/PC will change.

My suggestion is to go ahead and buy a nice ergonomic chair if you have the money.
Thanks, will fix it! Thanks for the suggestions too.
Ubuntu will eventually become Windows where first thing you do after installation is to remove these bunch of services and applications. Canonical knows their online search would be a failure if it came as a separate software. Hence, Canonical is using its loyal customers as guinea pigs.

We draw the line at everything is art when viewed from the perspective of art.

It is like asking when a coffee cup becomes a jerry can, or vice versa, and the answer is always: it depends on how it's used.

It's not that you don't get it, it's that it means something different, possibly nothing, to you than to others. It's only a problem if you want to appreciate it from the same perspective as others.

Art is in the eye of the buyer. If the buyer thinks it's art then it is art.

Testflight has made it a LOT easier, granted Apple could change things entirely one day and leave them dead in the water. XCode has significantly improved in auto provisioning too, still painful when something breaks, but not as bad as it was.

Something which is functional but lacking polish trumps something that is extremely polished but doesn't do much.

Putting it another way, which Minimum Viable Date would you choose?

1. Cute and sociable. Smells nice, good conversationalist.
Date involves picking up two packages of cup-a-soup from
7-11 and sitting on the curb outside.

2. Heroin addicted, hasn't showered in a week. Withdrawn
from conversation. Date involves dinner and wine at a Michelin-
starred restaurant followed by a limo picking you up and taking
you to a sold-out concert where you're in the front row and you
have backstage passes after.

Make sure you understand which is the feature and which is the polish. The feature in the above two examples is the person. That's what the date is really about. The polish is where you go and what you do with the person.

This is what Apple got wrong with their maps app. Its appearance is what you'd expect from Apple. It's really polished and likely went through their rigorous pixel-perfect prototyping [0]. But the underlying feature that people expect is accurate mapping. Having a map which is never wrong but looks like an Etch-a-Sketch would be preferable to a highly polished map which gets you stranded in the Australian Outback.

That said, you want to find the right balance. If you're providing the app to existing customers, they're probably looking for the functionality and can deal with a lack of polish. If you're using the app as a marketing tool to attract customers, be sure to make it look good but they may not sign up if the functionality isn't there.

Dell might be edging in to that space with Project Sputnik. It's too bad that the specs on their machine are underwhelming for their target market. If it fails because of that, Dell will be hesitant to enter the market again--but for precisely the wrong reasons.

I'd pay $2k+ for a 14 inch laptop, 1600x1200 IPS screen, SSD, i7, dedicated graphics, and a good keyboard (with home, end, pgup, pgdown) that could run Linux. Hell, I'd be happy with the dedicated graphics just working in Windows, and I'd dual-boot to game. But no such machine exists right now.
Just curious. Can you plz elaborate quickly in one or two sentences why you wouldn't consider it arbitrage? Is it because of costs involved?
I doubt a lot of it too. Same thing as people who underexaggerate how much they studied for a test in high school and college.
Yeah, I guess an issue is getting consumers to understand that while a high MPG is better than a low MPG, having no MPG is even better. Consumers want easy presentable numbers to compare, so they can feel like they have a grasp on the difference.
