Argh, more bait from refer.ly founders. The refer.ly modus operandi seems to be:

a) write evergreen content that HN users are likely to upvote or read (HN catnip) based on current HN trends

b) fill content with paid referral links

c) post catnip to HN

I consider ending the illusion that people are perfect a much better idea than a "right to be forgotten".
Also interesting is that Google will soon not require a client_secret parameter for installed applications[1], as it is impossible to keep secret. This is technically legal according to the spec, which states that "the client MAY omit the parameter if the client secret is an empty string"[2].

We were told by one of their support team that we were not allowed to alter the theme to hide the link to wordpress.com. This is on a paid account.

So they may say it is GPL, but in practice it's not.
I had learned Lua a few years before learning JavaScript. While learning JavaScript, I always felt like it was a dirty, warty version of Lua.
What I meant by "respect standards" was things like giving a warning if there is no new line at the end of a file, not accepting templates unless they are in the form "template <typename TYPE>" (the VS compiler lets you omit typename). I'm not sure which extensions you're talking about but every extension in GCC I know of is marked as such with a prefix. I think you'd find it hard to argue that the VS compiler is more standard compliant than GCC (or any other for that matter).

I know that you can have most of the GNU toolchain available under windows using cygwin. I use it quite a bit when I work under windows. I assume that the average windows game developer doesn't use these or he would find developing under linux very familiar (which hasn't been my experience while working).

The VS debugger features you mention seem to be compiler features rather than debugging features.

Now, if you're arguing over these details I'm afraid you missed my point: game developers aren't having a hard time developing games for linux because gdb doesn't support stepping from managed code into semi managed code. They are having a hard time because they aren't used to the tools available in linux. I wasn't saying the tools under windows are bad, rather that, as a linux developer, they can be as hard to use as my tools are to a windows developer.
BackboneJs + RequireJs AMD multi-page boilerplate.
There is a big difference between failing intelligently (being able to learn from it) and failing recklessly (doing anything to avoid finding and doing the things that matter).

The difference in recognizing this subtle but huge difference is a little bit of maturity and constantly evolving one's ability to self-reflect.

Otherwise, it's easy wasting your 20's on ideas other people may cheer you on but are a low percentage play, whereas you could spend the same time learning what value, and creating measurable and verified value is.
Haha that was a pretty epic fail..
you missed two crucial steps:

d) figure out what readers want and extend to 1000s of online communities

e) profit

The GPL is explicitly designed to be viral and I didn't know the source.

Below Dan Grossman said the Automattic released WordPress itself under the GPL license. It sounds like they did so because they wanted to, but they could have released it under any license they wanted. That would make WordPress the source.

Alternatively Automattic may be forced to release WordPress under GPL due to being a derived work of other code. This may or may not be true. Based on their behavior it does not seem to be a contributing factor either way.
I gave this a try and added the functional form (i.e. bigArray.forEach).

I was a little surprised at how much slower this was. I ended up creating another test where every case had a function call overhead. All three functional forms (forEach, map and reduce) were slower than the plain old loop

I switched from a job with 3 weeks of vacation (that would be 4 by now if I had stayed) to one with no policy. My take on it is I can take 3-4 weeks a year without feeling guilty.

I honestly think every responsible and competent adult (and I purposefully leave those terms imprecise) should have no vacation policy. Vacation should be a fact of life: take it when you need it, don't take it when you can't, and work as much as you need to to do a good job (again, imprecise).
There's nothing scarier to me than people of power who are so drunk in their own arrogance that they refuse to ever accept that they could be in the wrong. I too hope that this come back to bite her.

Here's the LLVM code that clang-3.0-6ubuntu3 emits:

define i64 @crash() nounwind uwtable readnone optsize {
ret i64 undef
}

In machine code terms, on x86-64 this turns into a function composed entirely of the ret opcode. gcc-4.6 adds an xor eax, eax before the ret.
analog, which part of the GPL does that violate?

I think you're wrong. The GPL governs code, not services (even services that use GPL code).
Hrrm, I was in a genetics research lab myself and got annoyed at the inefficiencies myself. In particular, I got frustrating to write & use in-house scripts to run pipelines for compute clusters and then not know what the state of the execution is, where the files are, etc. It's sort of a meta-problem, but I decided to do a startup based on writing good software w/ a good UI to make the problem better (problem = running, monitoring, managing pipelines on clusters that have job schedulers like Grid Engine):

As a user I am actually okay with this. That way if I haven't visited a website in a long time, then most likely they should no longer have access to my account.

Maybe I've long moved on and forgotten about that one site that I authorised and now they are using my data in a way that I wouldn't approve of.

What are the valuations of all the discussed startups versus those of the old guard enterprise businesses? What about revenue?

We live by the new style enterprise tools in our firm but I also interact on a daily business with SMEs as well as large multinationals. By and large, outside the software industry, this supposed wave being discussed is not nearly as large or fast as suggested.

I'm not saying it won't eventually grow much larger but I'm also not convinced that IBM, Oracle, SAP et al won't catch on in time to capture significant market share themselves. Further the more I look at mature enterprise firms like Salesforce the more they resemble a traditional big iron firm - only without the hardware sales.

Come on, they're basically just tongue-in-cheek names to evoke a chuckle or two.

'HardonCollider' collision system, 'Lube' networking library etc, I can hardly see anyone being offended unless they _really_ want to be.

Apart from that I fully agree, despite doing lots of coding in Python, I, just like the author find löve a better choice than pygame for quickly developing/prototyping games, YMMV and all that.
The GPL is not "viral", unless you consider every copyright license to be. Would you say the BSD or X11 licenses are "viral"?

It's a common lie that someone might be forced to open-source their code because they accidentally copied some GPL'd code. This is not true. In a typical case of copyright infringement, the infringer must stop distributing the copied code and possibly pay damages. The GPL merely offers a additional choice, it doesn't force anything.
Nothing says duck typing has to be at runtime.

The only requirement to duck typing is "an object's methods and properties determine the valid semantics, rather than its inheritance from a particular class or implementation of a specific interface".

This is exactly how Go's interfaces work. You define the methods you require an argument to have, and then anything that has those methods can be used as that argument, without the original type having any knowledge of the interface that was designed. The only difference between Go and Python in this regard is that Python doesn't actually define what a duck is for a specific method, it is implicitly defined by the methods that are called on it. Go explicitly defines what a duck is, which makes it a hell of a lot easier to know if the object you're passing in qualifies as a duck without reading every line in the damn function.

Yes, go checks that an object is a duck at compile time, that doesn't have anything to do with duck typing.
The Internets were developed by Al Gore at the request of the U.S. military in the early 1960s as an expedient means by which to share pornography between various installations in continental United States and later, in Europe and Asia. Pornography was largely illegal at the time and before the virtuous self-sacrifice of Larry Flynt, one could find a few tit shots here and there, but pink and penetration were considered criminal obscenity punishable by death, followed by castration. In order to evade mail searches by officious police and customs officials, Internet pornography was sent by means of kibbles n' bits n' bytes, which could only be deciphered by powerful computers. One of the primary goals for the nascent system was that it be hardened enough to be available after a nuclear war, at which point porn would help to pass the time waiting for your hair to fall out, and might even be exchangeable for money or (perversely) sex.

The Vietnam War spurred further development of the Internet, in order to both allow the transfer of high quality American pornography to the troops stationed in Asia, and allow fresh CP taken in Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand to quickly be transferred back to the United States. In the 1972, the decision was made to extend Internet service to American research universities, after sources at the Pentagon determined that students at MIT had a copy of Deep Throat that they would upload if given the opportunity. Although it is still often referred to as the Interweb, a reference to the spider web which once carried optical signals, this term is now technically incorrect, as information is now passed through a series of tubes, more akin to a sewer system.

> I do not believe JFK was killed by Oswald, for example, and I believe there are ample doubts about the official story of what happened in Dallas.

Doubts like what? Do you believe foreign government agents killed him? Do you believe domestic government agents killed him? Do you believe he's still alive?

Just saying you have questions doesn't cast doubt on any theories. Evidence casts doubt on theories.

> There were obviously no WMDs in Iraq

This doesn't qualify as a conspiracy theory because the cat was essentially out of the bag from the beginning.

> just saying "I do not know enough to have an opinion about it"

Except I can do research, which conspiracy theory believers seem incapable of.
The tricky part is for services like IFTTT (where I used to work) and Zapier (where the GP works) where you do want an authorization to be indefinite and not require user interaction because it's a background job.
To be fair, it wasn't a smart idea to wait and decide who would give a status update with no preparation minutes before a big investor meeting... I think a number of people would be nervous about being put on the spot like that
There is no question that opening up direct trade routes has been beneficial overall for the world. But it wasn't for the Middle East, and the reasons for the decline, being distant, were not immediately apparent to anyone.

More generally everyone who has learned even a little economics knows that when you open up trade, you improve production. That's the whole point of comparative advantage. However lurking in the math is that if 2 parties are engaged in trade, and the third is not, adding the third makes the total better off, but is not necessarily better for all parties.
I believe the nature of the job and ascendancy to the job requires a lack of empathy.
The GPL is not designed to be "viral". It is the author's decision and right what license to apply (GPL or not), and it is their right to decide that development on that project and its derivatives should never be taken closed-source and to choose the GPL as the mechanism of ensuring this.

Otherwise, we are saying that Linus was doing something wrong to license his work under the GPL...

Please stop attacking people for applying GPL to their own work by their own choice. You are NEVER forced to use someone else's work in violation of their license. If you want to use their work, you must comply with their license. If you can't comply with the license, find an alternative or build your own. Then you will be able to license it as you wish. End of story.

I'm surprised that bitcoin isn't used more often in this industry. If you think about it, the reluctance to pay for lots of these services would be that they show up in credit card statements... that your significant other/family members are likely to see. Once all of that is obscured or concealed in some manner, you see the door open to more impulse buying.
I have a ton of respect for both Singapore and Hong Kong, and would love the opportunity to live and work in Singapore. I just don't see them as exporters of consumer electronics trends.

I think it is for a couple reasons. One is that a lot of consumer electronics devices are content oriented, and domestic content has shaped the ecosystem (e.g., music -> itunes -> ipod). The other is scale. Japan has been the biggest influencer in the past (Walkman, Nintendo). It was a big enough economy to have its own whole healthy video game industry that it could export over to the US. I think the growing influence of Korea correlates to the healthy growth of the size of economy since the 1997 asian fiscal crisis.

I battled with a mentally ill stalker for years in a petty online revenge game that started as a joke on an IRC channel and a gamer forum when I was 14yrs old, and ended up being decided by the courts as both of us eventually resorted to highly illegal activities to screw each other over.

We went from crapflooding and email bombing each other to him constantly phoning and writing everybody I knew or worked for and my school in an attempt to screw me over through the years. Every girlfriend I had he tried to fake pics of me 'cheating' on her and spammed their social accounts and email/phone. In turn I stupidly escalated and baited him through side channel attacking his box, wiping his drive countless times, hacking his blog countless times, and destroying his credit score through fraud. This goes on for a few years each personal attack gaining in pwnstastic levels of revenge. He even had badly packaged illegal drugs sent to me from overseas hoping customs would intercept it and bust me but somehow they arrived safely and for weeks I wondered how I ended up with a bunch of drugs in the mail. I then countered by further driving his credit score into the grave to the point collection agencies were after him and his family, and was able to wipe all his sites faster than he could put them back up again.

At one point during this insanity when I was 17, he started filing fake police reports to have me purposely picked up on a Friday to serve time all weekend before I could see a judge and have the bogus charges thrown out start of business day Monday. For revenge I did something incredibly stupid with the 911 system and he landed in the state pen for almost 3 months.

When I was about to turn 18, after years of us going back and forth escalating our stupidity I came down with a sudden case of ethics, plead out to meddling with 911 so he would get released, plead out to fraud to reinstate his credit score, paid out compensation and received probation in family court forbidding me from touching a computer for 2 years. He also plead out to filing false police reports, fraud and harassment, was sentenced to time served, compensation and 4yrs probation in adult court. Both of us forbidden to touch a computer and go after each other. That was 8 years ago.

It should have been over but he's still to this day trying to track me down from half way across the globe as both of us don't use real identities anywhere on the internet anymore and our real names turn up a black hole. Once in awhile I'll meet up with some old friends or employers when I come back to my old city for holidays and they'll tell me about how this sweaty-toothed madman keeps calling looking for me. I will also from time to time see various articles or comments written in my name which is him trying to lure me out of obscurity to resume our epic battle of the ages.

It's possible they are both right. The school Bloomberg donated the money to, Johns Hopkins is among the more prestigious name recognition wise. It's hard to see how, with billionaires willing to give you so much money, you could possibly go bankrupt. On the other hand Cuban's point of view probably has more merit for second and third tier schools with less name recognition. Look at newspapers; the New York Times seems like it will survive many small town paper's futures look much more uncertain.

If you're new to OSX I highly recommend playing about seeing which characters are possible. Hold Option and try each key, then Option+Shift and each key. Comes in handy for typing things like ©2013, 20˚, 2π and LÖVE
Sure.

Learning a new tool which doesn't teach you anything new except how to use this particular tool, is mildly bad. That wasted your time.
I'll have to remember that should I find myself in another position to be hired or contracted by another asshole company to include a 'code ownership' clause and a 'right to open source the code" clause in case of any problems or difficulties.
Well pretty much anything you'd not be comfortable being in your bookmarks. Maybe you're a closet gay, atheist or have a weird/embarrassing condition that you're researching and don't want those links saved in your bookmarks.

And the biggest use case - read later! Using bookmarks is a horrible way to save stuff you want to read later. Often times I even forget I had something bookmarked to read later. A nice browser extension that shows if you have any links in the queue. You could probably build on of the xstashed code, and turn it into something more innocuous - maybe ystashed
The interface just defines the methods an object must have to be passed into this function. No types have to "implement" the interface in the traditional sense. Anything that happens to have the same methods as are on the interface may be passed into the method that requires that interface.

Basically, the interface just defines at compile time what Python defines at runtime... except it's a hell of a lot easier to see what methods are required for a Go interface, than it is to see what methods are required for a python function (you basically have to read the entire function and any function that function passes the argument to).

Not that I don't like python, I do.
Why? perception that the design being copied 'works', has been iterated, tested and improved.

Morally justifiable? The internet is still a bit of a wild west, if you don't want something copied not putting it online would be the only way.

I don't think you can sue someone for using the same homepage design / product page etc as you.

Ugh, okay the problem using this isn't your fault - but (maybe unique problem as a woman?) finding good porn actually worth saving is a challenge. Would be awesome if you had a StumbleUpon type feature for discovering existing bookmarks in your system - at least for the user onboarding flow so I can test it out faster (to see if the viewer on mobile is good etc).

I like the design, pink was a surprise (my immediate thought before loading the page was that I would be harassing you for making too much of a "men only" looking site. It's pretty neutral. Women who watch porn is a fascinating niche btw, because for them it is aspirational and they often want to buy stuff to recreate it. You could create tasteful native ads in your content to make revenue. For guys it is (studies show) more transactional - just want to get off.

I can't do refer.xxx right now, just too far out of our focus are, but that might be a direction for you to go.

Thanks, folks. I'm here all week.
There's an explanation transcribed in the post from a podcast:

So the idea behind the split license is to protect authors in terms of their designs and things like that. The parts that have to be GPL are GPL, the parts that don’t have to be, we’re happy to provide that license to help you protect them. The other thing is that on the [Envato] marketplaces there are smaller component style items, so you could buy the extended license on the marketplace, and use that in your WordPress theme. And if you then make your WordPress theme 100% GPL, you just disregarded the license of the item you put into the theme.

So it seems like they specifically discourage bypassing the split license.
> Modern science has become increasingly atheistic and pitting itself against faith and religion with it's own dogma and leaps of faith.

Science does not require faith - it's based on theories you can prove. It also has no dogmas since you can prove even the most established theory wrong and change science with it. Much like the guy you quoted.
