But there's only a limited amount of articles on the first page... I would much rather see something programming/startup/technology-related up there. The threads about Aaron were important. The follow-up threads about his legal case vs. Ortiz were perhaps less interesting to some, but still very much relevant.

_This_ is blatantly off topic. Journalists and bloggers are sensationalist and know how to keep milking a good story when they see it. I do not expect this to overflow to HN.

One popular way of gaming the metric is systematic cheating on the tests by the teachers. I say popular because it has happened on a large scale, most recently in Atlanta as I recall.

Another way to manipulate the test results is to manipulate which students are in your class or your school.

The point is, people are endlessly creative in subverting rules to their own benefit - so they conform to the letter of the rules but not the spirit.

Consider also the "work to rule" technique used by unions as a bargaining tactic. It's as simple as the workers literally adhering to their job descriptions. It doesn't work out well for the company.

For some students, sure, but a majority? But I'm not so sure that will impress either the parents or the staff. Also, was that work busywork, or productive work? Students can tell the difference.

I had a high school teacher who explicitly wanted to be popular by assigning no work. The students did like him, but they did not respect him (and laughed at him behind his back). Those of us who wanted to go on to college also knew he was shortchanging us.

I've seen a lot of job listings, at very large companies and academics for the 45-50 range. Keep in mind, these are jobs requiring a PHD, 10 years of experience, and a dozen or so technologies.

It's not really the money that's skewed, it's their idea about the person they need for the job. They don't need someone with that background (most of the time), they just need a junior level software engineer in which case the pay scale may not be too bad. There's a problem in realizing this, however, when the standards for your own field (molecular biology for example) are extremely high, so you expect it of all others as well...

It's worse than that -- it's simply not interesting.
Remember Christianity used to be very hostile to religions in time past (Galileo)

I've seen this speculation that this is just a phase that Islam is going through. When Christianity was going through a similar conflict with Science, there were no real fruits of Science to validate it as a system of learning about reality. Christianity came first and had its roots firmly planted before that upstart Science came along. The power struggle was understandable in that progression.

These days, the results of Science are all around us. We have computers, cell phones, nuclear power, and robots exploring other planets. There's really no excuse for the utter dismissal of reality exhibited by large swathes of the Islamic world.

Islam doesn't just demonstrate a different stage of maturity for a religion. Islam demonstrates a radically staunch level of belligerence for a religion. There's no real reason to believe that it's going to outgrow it.

Who are these people? I don't know anyone that is happy to fail.

I'm not sure if that is true. Plenty of parents are affected if their kids fail at things.

> To be fair, you can do this in java by adding to Header and MIMEHeader "implements emailHeader".

Not if you aren't the author of the package. (You could modify your local copy, but requiring a fork is always a pain.) Without the ability to modify the sources, you would have to create custom subclasses of Header and MimeHeader which implement that interface, and find some way to make the library generate your custom subclasses instead of the defaults.

One question would be whether or not to match the files on subject/grade/teacher, or just the teacher.

You use subject/grade/teacher level, but you get a different answer if you use aggregated teacher level.

That doesn't make failed builds any less frustrating. Heck, in Python, you don't even have builds, but getting a SyntaxError on import is still frustrating.
FWIW, in the US, very few religious people oppose stem cell research as such. The opposition is to using stem cells derived from aborted embryos. The pro-life movement is largely in favor of research on embryonic stem cells obtained in other ways (like from umbilical cord blood.)
Islam doesn't really contradict science. Science is simply viewed as the study of God's creation.

That is the position that was widely taken in Western countries. It only lasts so long as the description of God's creation that comes from science is compatible with religion. But once science disagrees with the description of your religion, you're forced to make hard choices.

For most strands of judeo-christianity (including Islam), that point is hit with Darwin.

Integration with Europe has simply lead to colonization and poorer living standards.

The decline of the Middle East actually goes back farther than that. People in the West celebrate the voyages of discovery. But we seldom think about the consequences that direct trade routes from Europe to India and China had on people who were dependent on pre-existing trade routes along the Silk Road, such as the Middle East.

This does reflect very sadly on schools, and shows up when trying to explain things to programmers used to conventional languages, especially if you're trying to explain why C is fundamentally broken.

Roughly there are three fundamental control transfer operations: conditional jumps, subroutine calls, and coroutine calls. A subroutine is a slave, the caller is a master. With coroutines, the caller and callee are peers.

Coroutine calling is more fundamental and easier to program, but it isn't available in C.

The theory is about continuations. A continuation is just "the rest of the program". You can think of it as the program counter (PC). Subroutine calling works by passing a continuation to a routine, when the routine is finished it invokes the continuation. This is done by pushing the program counter on the stack, and the subroutine popping it with a return statement.

Coroutines work by exchange of control. When you call a coroutine you give it your current continuation to call when its ready. But also you do not call the coroutine at the beginning. You call it where it last left off: at its last continuation point.

A set of coroutines are usually called fibres. They represent interleaving of control. You can emulate them with pre-emptive threads and locks, but coroutines are synchronous and non-premptive.

Felix and Go both make heavy use of coroutines (called fthreads and goroutines). Iterators as in Python are a special case.

In general on today's badly designed CPU's you have to think of coroutines as requiring stack swapping. Threads do this which is why you can emulate coroutines with threads.

By far the most well known coroutine scheduler is .. the Operating System. Its basically a coroutine of applications. This is why you can read and write to files: the real world is event driven but callbacks are impossible to program with. So the operating control inverts the events by stack swapping so your application can be written as a master.

You think you're calling the OS, and the OS thinks its calling you. You're both masters. That's coroutines.

Python (and Felix) both have yield, but that's a special case. In general the model is reading and writing channels: yielding is just writing the "sole" channel and getting a function result is just reading it. A channel is basically a "place to swap stacks".

I think you're right about motivation, but that's about ego and fame within a social hierarchy. Someone who loves understanding for its own sake also loves understanding the little bits - and they are better at it, because their attention is not divided, and they are open to serendipity. One can't predict where understanding will come from e.g. the motion of a spinning plate.

One could only be sure that understanding a vacuum cleaner is unrelated to understanding the universe in hindsight.

Python is gathering momentum now that pandas has brought a proper dataframe object to the language. Python is multi-paradigm, so you can write functional code when you need, objects when you want them, or scripts if it is convenient. Most people I know who are not using python complain of needing 3 or 4 languages to cover their needs (perl for data munging, R/Matlab for research, C/C++/C#/Java for production.

I founded NetMarket [1], which actually did build the first shopping cart on the web in August 1994, 5 months before OpenMarket launched and filed their application. I was deposed in the 2004 Amazon case due to an email Amazon discovered from Open Market to NetMarket demonstrating that they were aware of our site. Unfortunately, I didn't have screen shots or source code definitively demonstrating our work, and Amazon decided to settle for $40 M.

My congratulations to Newegg for their courage and resolve in standing up to Soverain. At NetMarket, we were proud of ourselves for figuring out after a few days that we couldn't put the state of the shopping cart items in the URL, since you lost it with the back button, and so we needed to use a state ID in the URL as a key to the database. The idea that this was patentable was and is absurd.

On Why We Don’t Achieve Our Goals
"Anything worth trying once for, is worth trying twice for."

I can give you a far more specific principle. The only solution a government bureaucrat knows for when the first thing they tried didn't work is do the same thing, only harder.

The logic is simple: Any other proposed second solution by the bureaucrat is ipso facto proof that their first idea was bad and wrong. Therefore, this is not an acceptable proposal, since it implies they should be removed from office or should have less power. Clearly, the problem will not be solved by doing less, and it wasn't solved by doing the amount we tried the first time, so therefore, the only thing we can propose is to do the same thing, but harder.

War on drugs? Education reform? Significant swathes of foreign policy? This pattern is everywhere in government, and companies large and secure enough to be dominated by politics rather than market realities. Personally I consider it one of the root problems facing society today.

What I find weird about the yield keyword is that it seems to effect the execution of code that comes before the statement, causing it not to execute until later.

For example:

def createGenerator():
print "aaa"

mygen = createGenerator()

outputs:

aaa

Whereas

def createGenerator():
print "aaa"
yield

mygen = createGenerator()

Outputs nothing.
Show HN: My porn startup
Ever find good porn but can't get to it right away? What about something you really enjoyed, where do you save it? If you're like me, you don't want nsfw sites in your browsing history and especially not in your bookmarks. So I built http://xstashed.com/hn/ (clickable in comments) - a place to stash your nsfw links.

While it's a minimal viable product, I do have a basic roadmap that can be viewed here http://xstashed.com/todo/. I just wanted to get this in the hands of potential users to get feedback early on.

On the tech side of things I've built this thing nimble so that I can quickly shape the site from your feedback. For those who are interested in the technical site of xstashed, it's a custom Django (Python) application continuously deployed with Chef. MySQL for database, Celery for background task, and Redis for cache and Celery broker.

This is correct. Zero for example, definitely came from India. The root word is Sunyata in Sanskrit, which rather means "noneness"

There is also the claim that most of these discoveries weren't actually Arabian discoveries, rather Assyrian ones, co-opted by the Arabs.

> Always believing what is written in the History Books sponsored by government oversight does not mean you are being fed the truth.

The alternative to this is not believing whatever Alex Jones and NaturalNews.com say.

In fact, this false dichotomy is amazingly common among Internet conspiracy theory believers: Unless you fall in lockstep with them, you must believe everything Fox News tells you. No middle ground. (Or, of course, they accuse you of being a COINTELPRO Zionist shill, which is really a more extreme version of the same fallacy.)

Which theories, out of that list, do you think are believable?
>>>> Islam doesn't really contradict science. Science is simply viewed as the study of God's creation.

of course it does , angel and djinns are not scientific facts , neither are people claiming they received the word of "god" from whatever spook out there...

Science looks at nature and try to draw conclusions , facts that one can experiment or things than can predict something. Prove me that djinns or angels exist as the reproducible phenomenon and i will believe in whatever fairy tail you believe in. Religion is based on faith since you cant reproduce any so called "miracle" written in holly books.

Read your sentence : your assume at first place everything is god creation , that's not how science works.

But i dont blame you , some believe in Hubbard or Smith , no matter how smart they think they are. Just dont lie to yourself in saying religion doesnt contradict science , it is dishonest at best.

I'm going through this right now. Not so much the part that anyone _wants_ to hear what I have to say, because that number is in the low single digits, but more the part that I'm really focused on learning a new skill (Obj-C) and therefore don't have the time to do things that I normally do (e.g. blog, read new books, etc.)

It's tough to give it up, because there is a desire to want do it all, but in reality there isn't time. For me, I've been wanting to learn to code for at least 15 years, so giving up most other things to make time for it at last makes sense. I'm glad I have, because I'm finally tackling something that's hung over my head for years. But I definitely get the itch to go back to what I was doing before.
I don't think that (awesome) quote is really relevant.

The point is not that the iphone isn't popular, it's that with popularity come changes in the way it's perceived, and that will affect its future momentum in some places.

When the iphone came out, it was very much an exclusive fashion item; when everybody has them, it's not exclusive. Whether it's still viewed as a "luxury" good is probably more complex—some brands have been surprisingly successful at retaining their luxury image despite widespread adoption—but given carriers offering completely subsidized iphones, it may be an uphill battle.

Not everybody cares about such perceptions, but there are definitely cultures where many people do.

None of this seems surprising, or particularly controversial to me...
