I have a certain amount of expertise at the type of SEO Patrick used to bootstrap BCC - I've used a similar technique to get my last public web project to 400k-ish uniques/month.

It's not rocket science, and most people on HN could do it. As tptacek has said several times, it just takes a couple of years' worth of persistence and willingness to look at what's actually happening and adapt for it.
true. Hm... good insight on the topic. So, what kind of programming languages and tools do you use for HFT? I've seen on the internet Erlang being used in the past, now it's said mostly C/C++.

If you happen to work on this sector, tell me smth: why don't you write your software in functional programming, and then use C++ bindings for the CPU intensive code?

Thanks

About five years ago I worked in an office that was above a physical therapy place. Sometimes patients would sneak upstairs and steal a laptop. We were able to recover one laptop: the guy who stole it sold it to a kid for $50 and when the kid came home, his Dad made him tell how he'd gotten it. The Dad found our number and said he'd give us back the laptop for the $50 his kid spent, which we were happy to do. Another time a laptop was stolen the thief wasn't smart enough to take the power cord.

I guess if you're desperate enough that you're willing to commit a crime for $50 then stealing a laptop is a better idea than robbing a convenience store but you still have to be pretty desperate.

Things like toothbrushes are locked up because they are relatively expensive but so small that they are easy to steal. You can just slide one up your sleeve while pretending to examine another one and then putting it back. It's not worth trying to identify or detain shoplifters over toothbrushes, but the costs of theft add up. Same thing with razor blades.
Christianity Has Sold Its Soul to Capitalism
No other Christmas has shown the hypocrisy of Christians more than this year. Extravagant Christmas spending on guns and other gifts simply show that Christians are not true to their faith.
But that doesn't make a difference. It's like objecting to gun control legislation by saying, "Actually, guns are even more dangerous than you think." Copyright exists to counteract how easy it is to copy a creative work. The fact that it's even easier now just makes the original rational even stronger if you accept it in the first place.

Your commits will count for the day they were committed once they're merged to master. i.e., It's the date on the commit that matters, not the date it's eventually pushed to master. A little weird since it means past days can fill in later but we wanted to make sure they were counted.
The comments, for me, are more interesting than the article, because they proceed to prescriptions.

Guaranteed income(aka basic income) is the major topic of discussion. It has a lot of qualities that make it more appealing than present-day welfare systems in an attack of capitalist inequality, but the open question is whether it's a sufficient measure on its own.

What I find particularly interesting is that the nature of software as a way to build a lot of value cheaply _also_ comes up. If software "eats the world" in coming years, then it follows that GI would become increasingly more "correct" as the way to give people a fair shake, since wealth creation wouldn't be predicated on having a large pool of private capital, but on pure creativity and social organization. (Within the "core" software technologies this has definitely happened - open-source has gained a weighty influence on computing, and the whole HN "startup scene" arose from low capital costs.)
That's a disingenuous distinction. By blogs I'm not saying the technical amalgamation of components that make a "web log", I'm saying the "typical news sources" that are cited on the Web these days. It's not about the genre, and you're oversimplifying my critique.
> Basically, at what point of ridiculousness does the protection break down (if any)?

It never goes away (modulo expiration). The copyright owner has to grant an explicit license. Usually you get one by paying a fee.

Last week a non-free documentary about Minecraft was seeded on BitTorrent by the owners. It was implied, but they never included an explicit license, so it was unclear whether downloading and seeding it was a copyright violation.

In the case of shareware, the copyright holder grants a universal license for distribution.
That's how it usually works though there's a lot of flexibility. In some cases, it might not even be interactive at all, e.g. adding to your Pocket queue, you'd just hit the Pocket menu item and you're back where you were.
It's sad how "Security" there's only one very generalizing item. "Implement best practices". Right.

The law, contrary to what people in this thread have been saying, recognizes intent. It's the same principle as the recent, controversial ruling about the AT&T data leak. Yes, AT&T should have taken better steps to secure their data. But you retain control over even implicitly private data. Technical measures like DRM and passwords help to cement the intent, and impede people who would ignore a written warning.

In this case it's probably buried in the EULA for the non-activation version that you still need a valid CS2 license. While not all EULAs are enforcable, this seems like a pretty clear case where that condition would be upheld in court.

Your examples are all a bit silly, because that's what we have licenses for. In general, I would say if you found code with no license, or code being made available contrary to the license in the headers, it's not suitable for including in any project. I think a court would agree that a reasonable developer, finding what looks like proprietary code with no license attached, should not copy or derive code from that sample.

The t-shirts and huge banner are a funny case, because if you consider Oracle v Google ( or any other IP case involving open source ), it's entirely possible to make code available and retain control over it. Hell, even copyleft licenses are based on the idea that you can distribute something but legally restrict it's use.

In short, if you make a creative work you have broad control over how it's used, even if it's technically possible to use that work in ways you don't allow. In the absence of an explicit license, it's only safe to assume that you have no permission to use anything.
Certainly makes github more recruiter friendly and more and more the techys' CV site.

"Can I program and work in a team? am I active? Check out my github profile"
I don't know whether I'm pleased that it hides my private activity or whether -- because almost all my activity is in private repos -- to be upset by that :D

Anyhow. Very pretty.
I prefer the 404 pages that something to the effect of "Sorry, that is broken" and then include the results of a site search of the keywords or friendly url that was provided.

Which markets were you focusing on? I would assume this would work well here in California, based on the need for stock photos and models in the LA & Bay Area. From what I gather in your writing, the choices were having a companies own PR-people waste hours of their billable time or have to go out to an expensive agency to get models, while you provided a service that catered to the middle market?
> especially for the price.

Honestly curious - was money not an issue would you be able to find something better? Is Photoshop and the likes from Adobe truly "high-end" or is there something less popular, more expensive, perhaps harder but "better": technically, in it's capabilities?

You're correct, it isn't. Planets in very close orbits tend to be tidally locked. Instead the significance of the moon is thought to be as a stabilizer for the Earth's rotational axis. However, our axis is not exactly as ultra stable as some people think - it's still shifting up to a few degrees every few million years.

It's also worth noting that six out of nine planets in this system are oriented in the same way as Earth and none of them has the same moon configuration as us. For example, Mars has pretty much the same tilt as us and its moons are pitiful.

I personally don't believe it's a requirement for life. We simply lack the empirical data needed to make any assumptions about habitability or even the basic configuration of habitable star systems. Until then, looking towards twin Earths is probably a good start to look for life but it's certainly not the only kind of environment stable enough to support it.

OK, that makes sense to me. The more I think about it, the licenses and passwords are just ways to keep people from stealing something that they don't have a right to use.

Even though I can see what Mickey Mouse looks like, I can't make a t-shirt with his face on it and sell it. Even though I can see Adobe's source code, I can't use it without permission. Your copyleft note is very good as well, btw. I can see GNU source code, but there are still restrictions on use.

It sounds like your philosophy is actually aligned. The core of the quote is about making a buying decision simple, not about tricking someone. The article talks about really understanding why people buy your product and using that in your copy.

A crude example can be shown with water. A features list would be:
- Clear fluid
- 2 parts hydrogen
- 1 part oxygen
- Becomes a solid at 0 degrees celsius
- Becomes a gas at 100 degrees celsius

Informative, but not super helpful. Instead, addressing a problem water solves with, "The healthiest way to quench your thirst," shows what it can be used for and why it's a good solution for it. That's not a trick.

I think the key to this is to focus on helping your customers.

Hey Aaron.

Communication via entity position is genius. Awesome! I wish my team had thought of that.

I have to say that being a contestant in 6.370 (robocraft/battlecode/etc) was easily the most fun, and the best practical experience I had while attending MIT. So, hats off to you and your partners for turning it from fun into excellent.

What I especially enjoyed about the 6.370 experience was the instructions constraint. With it being as low as it was, you really had to get smart about stuff like pathfinding - you could write a respectable AI using more normal approaches, but I suspect most contestants throw away traditional algorithms pretty quickly.

Less loved was that Java's compiler appears to hate (or maybe hated, at the time) efficiency. My teams usually wound up disassembling in order to find places where java was being stupid at compile time, and finding ways to get it to be less so. It makes a pretty big difference when every instruction counts. But, if it hadn't been for that, I might not have taken Compilers subsequently, so...

In any case. Thank you for your contribution to an enduring and truly excellent tradition in the MIT lexicon.
Well, we can split hairs on language, but 'steal' - 'to take or appropriate without right or leave and with intent to keep or make use of wrongfully'. This pretty much sums up the situation described by the article.

Notice that I'm not making some philosophical point about software, I'm saying if the license to something says that you must have purchased it to use it, to use it without said license is to "appropriate without right or leave and with intent to keep or make use of wrongfully".

Sorry but I have to say it "Betteridge's law of headlines" so NO.

If by mobile first you mean smartphones and tablets, absolutely not, these don't have enough processing power to replace desktops unless all you do is email some docs and web, anything intensive (IDE, virtualization, image/video editing, vector design, 3d, and the list goes on) will require at least a laptop. Also most PC gamers will keep on going with the desktops not even laptops (I'm more a casual gamer now but the games I run don't even exist for any tablet, and most laptops will have to run them in low settings)
there is no 'people' or 'about us' link. i can't find a single person's name.
Any email that violates the CAN-SPAM act - as LinkedIn's messaging does - I mark as spam. When I can unsubscribe from their emails with one click and no login-wall as they're legally required to allow, I will stop doing this.

I'm sorry if it hurts your experience, but they absolutely deserved to be punished for their flagrant disregard of the law. When they realize that their abusive email tactics actually hurt their users, maybe they'll stop - and then we'll all be better off.

upon the border of Moab.

21:16 And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof the
LORD spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give
them water.

21:17 Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:
21:18 The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it,
by the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the
wilderness they went to Mattanah: 21:19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel:
and from Nahaliel to Bamoth: 21:20 And from Bamoth in the valley, that
is in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward
Jeshimon.

21:21 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites,
saying, 21:22 Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the
fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters of the
well: but we will go along by the king's high way, until we be past
thy borders.

>The actual CSV parsing invocation and subsequent rendering to list is:

I'm sorry, but it's not at all obvious that code is parsing a CSV file.

>The code of yours that does that is:
> (code snipped)

That's not actually true. The code to parse the CSV into a list of rows is:

csvfile = csv.reader(f)

The for loop below it populates a dictionary of lists indexed by country name. Your list_usa is my countries['USA'].
In your contact form, you're using ticks, but you can't choose more than one. This is inconsistent with the way radio buttons usually look.

I wonder if the "Contact" is prominent enough (knowing how dumb some potential clients can be...) maybe have it in red too?
By 'that' I mean, make the delivery that night by driving a couple hours out of their way after hours. The idea of 'kill yourself satisfying customers' is definitely opposed to 'never go out of your way for a customer', but the middle ground is 'make an effort to do something to help customers and leave them happy, but don't do things that will actually hurt you (the company/employees)'.
In this case the middle ground would have been more like tweet back to her promising delivery the next day, deliver the next day, and is likely to have the best overall result - employees not pissed off/miserable, customer still feels that they got taken care of by getting next day delivery instead of two weeks later.

Of course traditional gaming has a future. The casual market may be bigger, but the video game industry was very lucrative even before gaming went mainstream. This combined with the fact that the best mobile game so far is pretty much an evolved version of a demo game from Basic, makes me wonder why anyone doubts the longevity of traditional gaming. Casual and mobile games are time killers. Very few of them have much depth and half of the games that do have depth also have horrible controls. As of now, no one has figured out a way to implement decent controls on a touchscreen unless the genre just happens to be particularly suited for tapping and swiping.

From a business standpoint, casual games are very profitable. But from a gamers perspective, they almost always disappoint.

Lots of comments here say that this doesn't really change anything for Photoshop, but I think that it does. Compare downloading a cracked version to downloading this version.

The cracked version might contain terrible malware. It might still contain activation code that will phone Adobe with your serial number. You probably downloaded it from BitTorrent, which we know is easily trackable. If a serial number is still required, you will be using a number that is well known as a pirated number.

This version will not contain terrible malware (it may even come with updates from the vendor!) It has been modified by the people who wrote it to definitely not contain activation code. You will have downloaded it directly from Adobe at their request, along with their other paying customers. If your serial number is ever reported, you are indistinguishable from a legitimate user. The bar has been raised from "this IP reports a pirated copy" or "this IP downloaded a pirated copy" to individually auditing possibly legitimate customers in person. Adobe can't even include the hash in the list of hashes that will trigger ISP copyright enforcement alerting systems such as "six strikes". Unlike existing cracked versions, the risk for using this is very low.

I too was expecting an interesting business announcement when I clicked the link, and I too was disappointed. However, if you think this is a harmless mistake and no different from the existing Pirate Bay release, you aren't thinking very scrappy. This could easily make CS2 the version of choice for students and startups. (And Mac users can run it in VirtualBox on WinXP)
