where I live all the Mathematics professors hang out every month doing a public round table discussion which is free, completely informal and held at a local cafe. anybody can go in and ask questions about anything there is no discussion agenda

you can also show up to public lectures given by visiting math profs and afterwards ask them whatever theoretical background questions you want so long as it's not total spoon feeding

Ugh. The WSJ article is behind a paywall, but from skimming the DOJ page it seems he was prescribing GHB, a drug that is considered to be safer than alcohol.

The first "lunk alarm" video I ever viewed was of a West Point graduate who got tagged for his deadlift hitting the ground "too loudly". For every obnoxious video you may find, there's tens of threads in various bodybuilding and strength forums of people who were asked to leave for doing very basic and non-disruptive barbell lifts.

Even if every single lunk alarm video was as you described, it wouldn't be sufficient to paint a picture of either the bodybuilding or the strength athletics community.

I think it may be an American thing (though I am also quite sure it has started spreading to the Australian startup community), but why is it founders keep saying "crushin' it" or "killin' it" when asked about their startups?

In recent years I've been increasingly compelled to say similar things, and I've theorized it to be two reasons, both of which I have personally experienced: the concept of 'saving face' (i.e. a duty to signal startup's success to other people) and common courtesy (i.e. people really don't want to hear about you, they want to hear about themselves, so a short answer would suffice, kinda like "I'm doing well thank you").

On one hand, we're starting to go to the other end and start fetishizing failure, but on the other hand, chest puffery and internal competitiveness of startup founders (we really really really really really like to compare ourselves to others) has caused a lot of depression.

I guess it's a fine line to walk

I really enjoyed my MIT education, and maybe it made me smarter, but I can't say it made me a much better programmer. We had exactly one class (6.170) that was a practical programming course and the content should have been familiar to anyone with previous programming experience.

The foundational "computer science" skills held in such esteem by companies like Google amount almost entirely to an understanding of algorithms and data structures (you will almost never see an interview question based on, say, programming language theory), which was covered by exactly one semester-long course in our curriculum.

I think we learned a lot of cool stuff, but not stuff a working programmer really needs to know.
Jody was one of my advisors. I was just exchanging emails with him last week and he was consoling me about our startup struggles. Having trouble making sense of this.

Broken is pretty subjective here and greatly depends on one's needs as far as the ACID principles are concerned. If durability is your primary concern then maybe MongoDB isn't for you. That doesn't mean it's broken. It might perfectly meet the needs of others. I guess it should also be noted that the author works on HyperDex (a competing data store).

I'm more optimistical, and and I hope that will be realistic.

First, the Pis will be given to individual students, not school staff. This means that they won't be locked in the cupboard between yearly "look at a computer" classes, but can be taken home by the kids to tinker with.

Second, the entire point of the Raspberry Pi project is to make a computer so cheap that nobody cares if they are broken now and then.

Broken computers are not actually the most important problem. It's worse to lock down computers in hardware boxes and software restrictions so that the students can't experiment for themselves. On a normal school or home computer, the adults will forbid any sort of tinkering, because the expensive/important computer might break. If the Raspberry Pi software gets messed up, you insert a new SDCard. If the hardware gets broken, it's just $35. Hopefully this will make the teachers and parents think that the Pis are just toys, and allow kids to break them.

Well we know there are hundreds of millions of people who think a laptop is not portable enough anymore - look at all the ipad and android tablet sales.

They just want something that's as portable as an ipad, but can run windows software like Office, Photoshop, etc. These windows tablets also mostly have active Wacom digitizer screens for real stylus support, and include Microsoft OneNote, which is a full-featured note taking program that is nice for students. This has been the kicker, we want the tablet form factor, but we want to use productivity tools (which mostly depend on having a mouse, keyboard, and/or stylus).

Unfortunately, the windows tablets are overpriced, and lower cost Windows RT tablets can't run standard Windows software, and the more powerful tablets like Surface Pro with an i5/i7 processor need a noisy and hot fan, AND the design of Windows 8 is confusing to virtually everyone who is familiar with Windows 7 or older.

My ideal would be a tablet with detachable keyboard like an Asus Transformer but that can run Ubuntu (actually, you can install Ubuntu on an Asus Transformer, but it is too slow). The Asus Vivotab TF810C has the clovertrail processor which apparently isn't going to support linux, and the Asus Transformer Book is a heavier beast with a fan due to the i7 processor.

I'm not an entrepreneur, but I have a tendency to be rather open to random people, and generally I think they appreciate it a lot. Everybody has bullshit friends and knows how to be a bullshit friend, it's just not everybody dares to be an actual friend (if even just for the moment) to random people "just because"... but I rarely encountered anyone who didn't appreciate it, and not ever anyone who held it against me. There are ways to show weakness that are not weak at all, it's just honesty. Though of course there are also those who just use use other people's honesty to rob them, but you wouldn't want to stick around there anyway, right?

I've never been in an international flight without at least one meal, and these days many long-haul routes have new aircraft with adequate in-flight entertainment -- yes, even on US carriers. It really depends on the specific aircraft. I know from experience that some international American 777s do have power ports in economy (as well as personal monitors). 767s are being retired or upgraded, and Zurich-New York is not a 'core' route for most airlines so it makes sense that the equipment was a little dated.

I am a mathematics professor. Where do you live, how is this advertised, what kind of audience does this attract, and what sort of questions get asked?
I always wondered how Eve coped with what seems like a massively data heavy game, keeping track of battles and logging data especially for epic battles where alliances are pitting their expensive ships against each other. Pretty insightful article, would love to know a bit more about their development processes and how they go about pushing new changes up. It's such a sensitive game, changing just one thing could throw the whole game into disarray. It's crazy when you think that they not only have to track battles, but they also have to capture every other action and movement within the game; mining, agent missions, the marketplace and all of the other components that rely on accurate and up-to-date data capture and realtime reporting.

What makes this all even more crazier is the game has been around for over 10 years and counting. I still play Eve everyday, once you get past the menial tasks, you can have some real fun with this game being a drug runner, miner or just straight up renegade roaming the infinite environment.
People who bought Amazon stock thought they were getting a company who was going to grow aggressively by offering low prices. People who bought Apple thought they were getting a company that was going to make huge profits which would then be re-invested in technology that would rule the world. Low profits aren't a problem for the Amazon plan, only the Apple one.
I don't understand open source
I had an interesting discussion with a colleague yesterday who raised some questions I couldn't answer:

1. Who funds open source projects and the main contributors to those projects? For instance, the Rails project has key contributors who seem to be working full-time on the project.

2. Can an open source project get acquired by an organisation and become a proprietary product?
That is fun. A bit scary, but fun.

If you have coroutines, I don't think promises/futures are worth much. You don't need a value that represents "something I don't have yet" because an API can just block the current coroutine until it has the value.

There may be some utility in being able to pass them around so that the code that calls the API isn't the place where the block occurs, but I'm not convinced it's worth the extra complexity and API fragmentation to care about that.

Chrome still supports MP4 as far as I know. They mentioned dropping support a couple of years ago but didn't.

Firefox is getting MP4 support. Firefox OS and Firefox for Android on some devices has it already. Support on some versions of Windows is in nightly builds hidden behind a preference setting. Linux support is hidden behind a build switch. At some point when these backends are stable they'll be in normal builds.

From the comments section on the article:

The Emperor has no clothes

The company missed earnings estimate (21 c instead of 29 c), missed on revenues, year-over-year, in 2012 net loss was $39 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared with net income of $631 million, or $1.37 per diluted share, in 2011. Free cash flow decreased 81% to $395 million for the trailing twelve months, compared with $2.09 billion for the trailing twelve months ended December 31, 2011.

The stock is trading at 295 times its free cash flow and free cash flow is not growing. IMO, the stock is worth at best a generous 30 times next year’s estimated EPS of $1.70, or $51 a share. Frankly, even the current consensus $1.70 for FY 2013 looks rosy, when the company makes only 21c in its best, holidays-sales quarter. E-Books or anything else that builds revenues without earnings, that is Groupon flavor “growth”. Sell-side analysts will have to come up with creative theories to justify their Buy ratings.
> Why would ES6 "pick a promises winner"?

If they don't, the surrounding ecosystem is less likely to standardize on a single promise implementation. That means you'll have fragmentation where foo uses Futures and bar uses Promises so you have to use a bunch of Future<->Promise shims to get them to play together.

This is actually something I think is really nice about Dart: Futures are baked into the core library so they are The Way(tm) to pass around asynchronous computations.

It should at least note that only 21gb of space is available in the advertising. The consumers won the lawsuit when screen sizes did not match the advertised screen sizes for monitors.

Maybe microsoft should release a 32gb version of the tablet where you're not allowed to store anything on there. Or if you want to be really sleazy, they could put 128gb of dead chips in there so that they could advertise 128gb of storage where 0gb are actually available.
If you took an opinion poll split by gender, I think you'd find some interesting results. You, as a man, see it as a simple equivalence to physical strength, but do women see it the same way? At best, we can say "I don't know". So why not just use 'strong' in the original post, rather than talk about being a man?

And I'm not sure what is wrong about my original inference. The story is of a woman being "more of a man". It is "amazing", "wow". It's not a huge leap to see that being more of a man is portrayed as a positive attribute.

Admittedly I haven't followed Eve politics for over a year, but I would be very surprised to see Test and Goons get in a "real" fight (e.g. over sovereignty or revenue-generating moons). They both treat the game in the same way (a strange mix of competence, incompetence, and irreverence) and have too much shared history. I suspect the only reason they're even hostile right now is because they have absolutely no external threat and are bored.
There are studies of high dose chronic viagra use in patients with pulmonary arterial hupertension. The high dose groups in these studies received 240mg a day. I've had a brief look at the reported outcomes and there is no data on weightloss. This paediatric study of the same condition mentions that one patient withdrew due to weightloss:
(http://m.circ.ahajournals.org/content/125/2/324.long)

Of course, these patients are quite unwell, aren't trying to lose weight, and if sildenafil made their condition better might have had a better appetite and eaten more, so it's hard to draw too many conclusions.
Thanks for the feedback, I'll keep working on the UI and see if I can make things as clear as possible.
Would you say Heroku is big on the vendor lock in too? If you stay away from the ad-ons they are really mostly just running some code and maintaining a standard database unlike say Google App Engine. I don't see how moving to say EC2 or your own servers is really that much work on the grand scale of things and I have done a fair number of data center moves and server migrations etc.

Hm, I havn't used Amazons Web Services earlier - since most of their services looks to be priced in a good range, when suddenly you read the fine print about the bandwidth charges.

I've been trying to read through about Amazon Elastic Transcoder (AET?)'s pricing - but I can't figure out the total. I assume you need to pay to get the video out of S3? Do you have to pay on the way in, as well?

What would it cost to encode a 20 minute HD video that's like, 500MB?
> Living by yourself in the woods is apparently manly.

Yes, men are more likely to live in the woods by themselves than females. I haven't looked up this fact anywhere, but I guarantee I can find you a reference if you want one.

> But saying that she is "more of a man"...

... means she is better than most men at something they typically perform "better" (in a quantitive sense, mind you) than females. Which is completely the same as the situation I provided above. Perhaps you are getting confused by common American phrases. I might guess that you are not a native (American English) speaker?

EDIT: Just checked out your Twitter from the link on your HN profile and confirmed what I thought with regards to American vernacular.

And "somebody dunk that nerd's head in a toilet. It'll put hair in his chest. Like a real man!" Wow, seriously? This kind of hypocrisy? May I ask why it's okay to discriminate/oppress only certain groups?

I am certain your (and your friend's) views are highly abnormal, OR you are both greatly misinterpreting what scrapcode said (hint: this is the more likely explanation).

Check out the definition of sexist:

"Discrimination on the basis of sex, esp the oppression of women by men"

I do not adhere to this definition one bit, and quite frankly, I'm upset that you are having fun at my expense (with something that is not true) on Twitter. Anonymous HN users on are people too.
Excuse my complete ignorance but I can't resist.

Maybe I'd buy it if Windows would be the only thing around..

But I'm comparing it to my system (Ubuntu).
The kernel takes about 70 MB and the entire system (including LibreOffice, Firefox and a basic apps) fits on a CD (including live environment).
That's about 700 MB.

With a full set of development tools and a good selection of applications I come to around 4 GB. That's a number I can comprehend.

Now Windows 7/8 comes into arena somewhere around 16-17 GB on a clean install. This includes the base system, a shell, some tiny utility apps and a Browser. End of list.

Programming languages all posses one thing that most (perhaps all) natural languages lack: a 1:1 equivalence with some mathematical construct, or an abstraction backed-up by such a construct. In order for a natural language to be useful for programming computers the language must be completely describable in mathematical terms.
