But the server OS market was much more fragmented, and that's where Linux had its original success.
True, I never quite understood why people seem to hate Vista but love 7.

I have a laptop with Vista (and a recent SP) and 7 on my desktop. Besides a few UI differences I find it hard to tell them apart at all.

Most of the changes between XP and Vista that I disliked on Vista seem to have persisted unchanged in 7. I find network configuration much more confusing on Vista and 7 than on XP for example.

Perhaps earlier versions of Vista did have issues with memory management but as far as I can tell they have been improved by recent service packs.
AltaVista is just a re-skinned version of Yahoo Search (which itself is driven by MSFT, but has some modifications vs Bing). So this isn't as odd a choice as it might first seem.
What is needed badly is someone to deliver compelling open hardware with kick ass design under CC for phones and tablets. Then the (r)evolution will happen on its own. What is the point of pouring immense intellectual resources into software when the hardware for it is nonexistent?

If someone creates a smartphone on which you can install hassle free whatever you can - will have my money in a second.
Unix variants and Windows solve their problems very well

Maybe, maybe not, I think the bigger issue is the development cost it would take to get to Linux/Windows standards would be huge. This is why we have one Intel and AMD has to fight like hell to stay alive.

Tidal Labs (http://tid.al) -- Anywhere in the US (but we're based in NYC)

We're hiring a web developer: PHP, JS, HTML, CSS. Any level of experience is welcome to apply. We don't care if you've never worked pro before, but you'll still need to have built websites (even if just for fun) in order to be considered.

Tidal is a syndicated CMS that powers websites for people like Pepsi, Teen Vogue, Lucky Magazine, Details, Bob Vila, and many more awesome brands. We build interactive websites that make lots of people happy.

As a team, we highly value learning and growth. We'll make sure you're better tomorrow than you are today, every day.

Your job will be to help conceive and implement new features on websites. You'll also be able to interact with our great clients directly, you'll have a high level of autonomy, and you'll really be able to own your work.

Email php@tid.al if you're interested!
Honestly if you give such a shit about a goddamn blogging site you need to get a fucking life.
Ah I didn't realise that about the timings, that's a great solution. I definitely like the sound of localising that to each blogger.

The filtering tools sound great too, it's great to see yous already have plans for that area. Looking forward to seeing how it progresses, best of luck!
Well I'll be the guinea pig. Just gave it a shot with one of my apps that I was planning on doing a New Years resolution press release for (it's a debt tracker). I'll be sure to give an update of how it works out.
Totally wrong.

Svbtle is a brand. It's a minimalist layout, but copying it intrinsically suggests misleading your readers. You wouldn't make your new tech blog have the same theme as TNW or TechCrunch, and you wouldn't theme your Telescope install to look identical to HackerNews.
Yes I can remember Forbidden.
Ok, let me rewrite.

The acceleration I feel is in the head-feet direction, so it's relevant for the muscles, since their fibers seems to be aligned in this direction. The centripetal acceleration would be perpendicular to the usual muscular development, so... in this scenario, would that place still work for astronaut's body?
The biggest problem (or not ... for some I guess) is that it requires a ton of CPU time/graphics power to render. It is not something that you throw onto a server, it needs X11 and it needs a graphics card that can run the OpenGL stuff easily.
There are some factual inaccuracies in your post Anovikov.
<<<If it tries, it will result in the same thing as when it tried to limit birth rate in Indira Gandhi times - which eventually cost her life. >>>
The forced sterilization was done during the period of emergency in India, during which most of the democratic rights/civil liberties were suspended. Also the immediate cause of her death was her decision to use the armed forces against the "Khalistan" insurgents who were hiding the "Golden temple", a holy place for the followers of Sikh religion.
TL;DR - It's confusing, but not a big deal. Change it or don't.

I, like you, at one point didn't know about SVBTLE. I clicked through links on HN and found some pages that looked strikingly similar and at a quick glance thought, "wow, this person is posting a lot." (Note: singular)

Then I looked deeper and found out they were different authors; I went even further and discovered some were a part of SVBTLE and others were simply using the Wordpress theme.

It was slightly disorienting, but then I got over it. I learned to recognize the real SVBTLE posts from the "fake" ones. Either way, I'm becoming a bit tired of the design.
What kind of security improvements?
This is fascinating, I highly recommend reading through the last two links, truly riveting stuff.
With it requiring the licensing of tens of thousands of patents to make a phone, that is, unfortunately, not likely to happen.
Isn't Svbtle itself heavily inspired by another theme?
Ironically, I found your gem after wanting to build my own HN CLI. Saved me a bit of time. Thanks!
Anyfi Networks (http://www.anyfinetworks.com) - Malmö, Sweden (H1B equivalent can be arranged)

We are looking for an embedded software engineer with C and Linux experience to join our engineering team. You will work alongside capable engineers to develop a 4G radio access technology with a disruptive price/performance ratio (see http://anyfi.net/documentation for more info). If you’re up to it you’ll also have the opportunity to travel the world and integrate the software you’ve developed in Wi-Fi routers and residential gateways from leading vendors.

Linux and C experience is a must. Internet Protocol and Wi-Fi driver experience is nice to have. We would typically expect a candidate to have an M.Sc. in Computer Science or equivalent and 2+ years working experience.

Please send you application to jobs@anyfinetworks.com. We're hackers so if you want to impress us tell us about something you've built.
> Linux will (probably) be the last OS[3]

As a long time linux user I sincerely hope you're wrong about that.

There is definitely room for something more modern.
I think the time that new operating systems are able to gain traction is right on our doorstep.

The bar for making a desktop OS has been lowered from needing to support Microsoft Office or implementing a feature-equivalent office suite, having a full fledged UI system and many system libraries to just needing webkit to be ported to it.

When your operating system supports html and javascript it can already run 90% of what most people do with their computers.

To add to that, hardware that is easier to boot (ARM SoC's) is becoming cheap enough to produce that almost anyone (Raspberry Pi, OUYA) can launch a new hardware platform.

So the distance is being closed from both sides.

I personally think the next step to really making operating system development a popular field again is a new programming language. Yes, really, I think a new C would really be great. A C that has sane syntax and semantics, allows you to structure your code and supports integrating higher level constructs.
Dictionaries do the same thing with made-up words.
I'm guessing google doesn't do its own cartography work, especially with roads. Most of that is probably coming from free government sources like this

I am waiting for the time when Indian IT finally lets go of Java for everything and embraces JS for a better user experience.
Khitchdee (http://www.khitchdee.com) seeks a summer intern for 2013 at its Allahabad office. Someone interested in music, sound and signal processing algorithms. We're creating a screen, mouse and keyboard free recording studio -- fully voice controlled. Email me at rohit@khitchdee.com
I love seeing the great discussion that this started (both positive and negative feedback). Thanks everyone for turning the post itself into an open source project.
> If you're looking at scizophrenics then by definition you're looking at the ones who haven't recovered.

Well, yes, it's really easy to say that a disease doesn't exist if you ignore all the people who are suffering from it.

> they don't just do better because they're given less drugs, it's also because of social differences in terms of how families interact with each other.

What "social differences"?

Schizophrenics in India are far more likely to go undiagnosed and untreated, which only exacerbates the problems for them and their families. That's a big difference from saying that there's a high recovery rate, let alone that it's not a disease.
Interesting... thanks!
I'm on windows, but bookmarked your project for the future ;-)

>What happened to all the extremely interesting efforts like

The same thing that happened to more modest Operating Systems, limited driver support. And since they are a niche already, they had a very small window of opportunity.

The new paradigm seems to have moved to linux kernel drivers/modifications, not unlike Haiku OS, that is able to take advantage of the existing linux stack.
> "I'll throw myself in front of a bus for her if she wants it" - this doesn't looks like a good thing to say about a relationship

I tend to agree. But it's something that common to many relationships, not just those involving people in unhealthy relationships.

> - especially about a relationship with someone hearing voices who might recommend such things.

I'm not sure people with a psychotic illness recommend directly that another person should throw themselves in front of a literal bus.

And I hope that OP has enough insight to recognise when the (metaphorical) bus is real or a product of illness.

> Are normal persons (or life) so boring that one needs to import another person problems - especially unfixable problems given the state of our technology regarding schizophrenia?

I am not talking about the OP here. With that disclaimer out of the way: sometimes life with someone who has a severe mental illness is just more fun; it's more exciting; there's more stuff to do. This can be useful - you go to different places and experience life in a different way. Or it can be unhealthy, with dependence and enabling and people wanting to "fix" others and getting locked into a cycle of recovery and relapse. The pre-mania phase of bi-polar can be incredibly productive for some people.
I think this analogy only holds if we assume that a Svbtle Theme is not attractive for its own sake, but only for its association. Sports jerseys, with the sports affiliation removed, make absolutely zero stylistic sense and are like nothing else on the market. Is that the best clothing analogue for Svbtle?

Perhaps a better analogy would be to say a fake Svbtle theme is like a cheap coat. Yeah, maybe a few jackasses will scoff at you for not having something from a designer, or for not springing for a bespoke suit, but most regular people just care about looking decently presentable.
Bubbli / Aria Glassworks - SF / Remote

We’re looking for an experienced developer to assist in development of our python backend and API (they’re the same thing!) for our mobile app and web presence (and maybe third parties one day). This developer will start on a contract basis, remotely with a 2-3 month term, with the possibility of becoming full-time. We use github, gchat and email to communicate asynchronously, but we'll fly you out to our offices every once in a while if you're not already local.

We run a very modern stack - nginx, gunicorn, puppet, celery, aws, redis & postgresql. Our web API (what you'll be working on), is tiny. It uses our own micro-framework (1148 lines of python) specifically for writing APIs built on werkzeug (from the flask family), sqlalchemy, 1161 lines of “business” logic and 798 lines of tests. Much of the base functionality is complete (it’s actively serving our mobile app), which means the next stage -- your primary responsibility -- is scaling this code and optimizing it all while continuing to strive for irreducible complexity.

Day to day projects may include (but aren’t limited to):

* Implementing sharding logic in our python code

* Porting our code to use gevent/eventlet

* Profiling hot code areas and potentially rewriting them in C

* Investigating whether PyPy makes sense

In addition - you may be “on-call” to address server issues while you are actively working (read: sitting at a desk). If/when you transition to full-time these responsibilities may increase.

Bubbli is building the technology and products to make bubbles. Bubbles are completely seamless spherical photos that you view through the window of a portable device. We think they're the most compelling means for communicating the real world on the flat web and millions of dollars of VC funding would seem to agree with us. What we've built so far has actually become surprisingly meaningful in our own lives (in capturing moments important to us when photos aren't enough) to the point where we would be seriously sad if the world didn't have it.

We're about ready to launch our first iOS app imminently and we need to bulk up the team to support things when our app explodes in popularity. We're a tiny 4 person company (2 programmers, 2 designers) company based in San Francisco. We pay well, we're nice guys, and if you come on full time a few months in, you'll get full benefits, a 401k, and equity.

Since we haven't launched, you can google for more...

Shoot me an email at ben@bubb.li if interested.

Also - a part time CM needed too!
Inside Intel’s TV service: No CES announcement, but plenty of juicy details
This actually bit me last night. It was a little bit embarrassing, but it all worked out in the end.
> reasonable maturity of WCF

Being a user of WCF, I'm sorry to say, it's terrible. Don't ever make the mistake of thinking WCF is fit for production.

This goes for pretty much the whole C#/.NET ecosystem. The Microsoft tools are severely lacking in good design principles and the open source tools are amazing and life changing but don't have the mindshare to be revolutionary. This is mostly just a fact of Microsoft being unfit for open source workflows.

Instead of WCF, try ServiceStack (or SignalR if it makes sense). Instead of ASP.NET MVC, try NancyFx or FubuMVC.
OK, so this is kind of old, and the prototypes look really cool, and the product name is cool. Apparently one can be a professional product designer or even a professor of product design without understanding basic probability. They identify 4 separate failure modes, and estimate probabilities of 15%, 20%, 25%, and 5%. By my math, if these failure modes are independent, this is a 51.55% chance of overall product failure.

I suspect they overestimated the probabilities of each of these scenarios, except for the 5% "acts of god" estimate.
You can do EXACTLY same thing with an Asus Transformer, which is cheaper, and works just as well. It even supports multitouch gestures when connected remotely to your Win8 PC.
BERLIN/THE FACTORY, BRAND NEW: Node.js + NoSQL Growth Hacker for High Traffic Site (Fulltime)

Top 5 reasons why you should move to Berlin, right now:

1. Absolutely lowest livings costs with highest quality of living. Stay in gorgeous, perfectly renovated apartments in pre-WWII residential buildings with high ceilings, right in the middle of the center and pay a fraction of costs of any other capital (even cheaper than any Eastern European capital). No need for a car—Berlin has one of the densest subway nets and wide streets make biking fun.

2. A vibrant and Europe's fastest growing ecosystem of smart people and tons of networking events. A vast number of new software talents, founders, software companies and VCs move to Berlin every day (Twitter, Google/Google for Entrepreneurs, Soundcloud, Early Bird, Mozilla and many more).

3. People here are open-minded, outgoing, mix well and international—no need to learn one word German, everyone speaks English. Making new friends is a matter of days. Visit tons of networking and startup events.

4. Easy work permissions—Europeans do not need any and can work from day one and the rest applies for the hassle-free Blue Card.

5. Berlin's night life is unmatched, huge and changing every day (plus ridiculously cheap). Berlin has got some of the most dazzling, naughty, and original clubs on the face of the Earth.

Berlin is calling and getting the new tech hub of Europe. If you are passionate about building great software, we’d love to talk with you. If you don't live in Berlin yet, we could help to fix that.

You bring up a good point. Curation (filtering) has been quite a huge problem for quite some time. While I do think that traditional publishing houses provided this, they did so at the expense of great writing. So it was far from a perfect system. A lot of crap got and still gets published and a lot of good content doesn't.

I wish I had an answer for it. I tend to look at the music scene, specifically electronic, for a relatively successful model: the DJ as filter (curator). I'm not sure that such an equivalent can be achieved with movies let alone books.

I do think a lot of it will have to come from self promotion and word of mouth (whether by actual mouth or electronic) will become more and more important. It's already almost impossible to navigate the Kindle store if you don't know what you're looking for and that goes for other similar services (Amazon Prime Streaming, Netflix, Hulu, etc.). For example, Netflix ratings in my experience are pretty decent indicators of the quality of most movies, so for some crowdsourcing the value of media may work. (You need a good algorithm and a large enough data set of rated movies.) Others may choose to go more with suggestions from readers whose taste they trust.

What I'd like to see is literary reviews that are accessible to the common reader and that do not assume that you've read the book. This is similar to a lot of the book/movie criticism out there, except for the last clause which is imperative for finding a good book rather than analyzing an already read one.

People actually like the Svbtle theme, and they think that dcurtis is a positive brand?

Huh.
I ask, gently and politely, what the alternative is? I'm genuinely interested in any ideas and I'm not asking to be confrontational.

I'm mostly asking about people who don't pose a danger to others, but who have several episodes a year where they might require a short in-patient stay in hospital.
Having my opinion on content tarnished by its presentation happens to me too. Indeed I suspect it happens to everybody.

The important part is that I consider this a personality flaw, and when I notice that it is happening I work to correct it. It certainly isn't something I would brag about.
This is misleading simply for the fact that java and python are taught heavily in college over php, college students that need extra assistance will "google" tutorials, php is not taught in many colleges, if you add wordpress tutorials, drupal tutorials, and joomla tutorials to the mix you will see a totally different picture

Learn How To Program in 2013
Microsoft likely anticipated weaker demand for Win8 which is why they are focusing their promotions on the consumer market at this point. Once they work out the issues they will repackage a new version for enterprises running Win7.

Microsoft knows that the consumer desktop market is dwindling and that competing with Apple and Samsung in the consumer mobile space isn't viable at this point. However, the enterprise desktop market isn't going anywhere at this point and leveraging their enterprise desktop dominance as a way into mobile enterprise devices is their best option. IT managers will prefer an end-to-end Win9 solution for all desktops and mobile devices over managing disparate architectures.
After reading "I searched Alta Vista" I believe that his intent wasn't to rip off Svbtle.
