Here's the Anandtech review featured on HN just a few hours ago.

If that one got flagged off the front page then this one stands no chance. No point in wasting time writing up comments. Save your breath for the extremely negative posts, those will stay on the front page for days.
Make a product of it. Half of management would such a thing

Beautiful, thanks very much. Is it possible to not receive popups when new notifications arrive? I prefer notifications to be totally silent until I decide to look at them..
Um, yes, it's going clickety clickety click - thanks HN!
I run an open source project and I typically use github to track bugs, but I'm reluctant to have a dedicated bugzilla (or whatever) for the project as ~90% of bug reports are not bugs in my library, but rather installations issues or bugs in people's own code. I'm not saying my code doesn't have bugs(!) but what are often reported are bugs are nothing of the sort.

It would be nice to have a bug tracker, but I just don't believe it would be used to track only bugs and would thus take up time which I'd rather use for developing the software.
Thanks! Of course, click on the Chime pop-up ==> Settings ==> turn off desktop notifications.
HN has the problem that a high-voted comment that floats to the top, that might have a whole tree of less interesting discussion under it, keeps everything else stuck miles down the page.

So one persons comment can effectively derail most of the people viewing the thread into a cul-de-sac of discussing one specific point.
haha, guess you should be glad you didn't decide to use a bell or siren!
Why do people insist on imagining a world where there is One Device to Rule Them All? In general, specialization is a good thing; it tends to lead to higher productivity in my opinion. If I'm writing code I want to be sitting at a desktop PC with a keyboard, mouse and separate monitors because it's the most productive way to work. When I take a break and go hang out on the couch, I'll take my iPad with me and browse Hacker News for awhile. In either case it feels completely natural.

None of us should have to be defending that which is obvious: certain devices for certain purposes.
Device convergence seems like something that sounds great in theory, but based on my observations people seem to enjoy filling their lives with more gadgets rather than less especially when you have devices that can fit one specific use case very well.

Example would be games consoles and the amazon kindle, in fact plenty of people will have 2 games consoles to play different kinds of games (e.g wii and xbox).

I think the main draw of hybrid devices is where buying individual devices is unaffordable to most people (e.g cars) whereas the price is computing devices seems to be coming down.

Dedicated devices have other advantages too, for example if your kids are bored you can hand them your tablet or let them play xbox while leaving your laptop free to work on.

it might also be nice to have a hybrid device if carrying two devices is cumbersome. However in the event that you will be carrying a laptop, you probably have it in a bag find that a small tablet will fit comfortably in there also.
You feel that you would have been better off hearing that, but you're also forgetting that some people will feel the exact opposite. I also spent my late teenage years playing video games. I do not regret it at all, and I have tons of great memories of that time in my life. If I were to give younger me advice it would be to relax and enjoy yourself while you don't have bigger things to worry about.
The coffee machines in question have a container for un-ground beans which are ground internally and brewed. So your interaction with the machine is limited to adding beans, adding water, pressing a button (and 90% of the time it's just pressing the button since it holds enough beans&water for several brews).
So, in what way does this work in which the forum software we are used to doesn't? I think that's a rather bold claim. Between customization and skins, you could also say forums have been more or less perfected 10 years ago, instead of saying "they haven't changed" ^^

If you say "this works" and therefore imply other things don't, that's just asking for criticism; so I'd much rather hear why you like this more than, say, phpBB, in the least fluffy language possible, instead of telling me why normal forums are broken and this is "obviously" what I need. While I could give you a long list of things I would see improved in forums in general, this thing doesn't have much if any of them, and is even going backwards in some areas, in my books.
I saw glitches just after the mouse click.
Great!
Now I am using cmd + clink + console2. Very natural solution...
I have found powershell to be slower/less responsive for some reason
I've actually been incredibly curious about how well the on-screen keyboard works for these windows 8 machines on a long-term basis (or at least actual usage, not just fiddling around in the shop), but nobody talks about them.

I can therefore only conclude that they're quite terrible?
Very elegant tool, but it could clearly do with a proper home/landing page to explain what it is, what it does etc.
I'm 30, and just entering the Planner phase of my career. I can see where a few years down the road I'd be in a similar position. My percentage of time coding has dropped to 5% or lower, and I'm already itching to learn something new. Looking ahead, I think I'd focus on functional languages, asynch patterns, scaleable architecture, i8n patterns, and hardware. I'd stay away from the "Web app" and desktop spaces; I think we've reached peak web app.

In fact, the hardware category makes me feel the best, what with the "Internet of things" coming in vogue. If I were in your shoes, I'd get a 3-d printer and some raspberry pis and come up with weird, creative things that may or may not serve a realistic purpose. It's never been easier to get involved in the maker culture, but I already feel like I don't have the time and expertise to capitalize on it properly. This is probably where I'd spend my time.
Ah, yes, seeing that now. I get them mixed up sometimes.

You make it sound like GitHub being a graveyard is a bad thing. Does this mean that you rather had Croniter not exist at all?

It is simple, you see a project you like. If it has a bug you fix it in a fork. You use the fork until the project lead responds to your pull request. And if the project leads response doesn't suit you, you just continue to use the fork, you can pull from the original project whenever you like.
Qt Quick has many advantages over traditional Qt widgets:

1. It provides a simple JSON-like declarative syntax for defining UI layouts, and is quite easy to write new layouts for different use cases (desktop, tablet, netbook etc)

2. Very easy to do animations

3. Qt Quick is fully OpenGL accelerated in Qt 5 and beyond. While this KDE release is not using Qt 5, it provides a good transition path for the future.

I'm not sure why you think Github Issues isn't a bug reporting system. From what I have seen, that's its main purpose.

Sure, you can do a pull request instead, but most of the time people just report issues to the maintainers without providing a fix.

visualcsharp, you have been hellbanned for quite some time.
A (good) manager's primary tasks are: 1) Make sure your team knows what to do and has what they need to do it. 2) Be a buffer between them and anything that distracts them from #1. 3) Be a resource to help them develop. All 3 require good communication.

Every job I've quit has ultimately been because of a deficiency in one of those 3 things that led to conflict.

No, this method actually applies to all languages and all platforms with the same given tactics. Anything with an open ecosystem of plugin/themes where other users can download will be affected.

I've seem some similar activity in wordpress themes a while back. And if the results are as good as this post says, this kind of activity will only keep growing.

Your Future Autobiography
On the day I put in my notice for my last job I found out that my immediate manager had put in his notice as well the day before, much for the same reasons I did. I liked working for the guy so quitting felt bad. Basically choices made by upper management made the working environment not so good and we had decided to move on. Turns out we weren't the only ones, within three weeks five out of six of the web team left and gutted the department.

Even as a Product Designer I tend to sigh when I see articles about 3D printing, especially when they start saying that everything in the future will be printed.

However this is very exciting! This is using 3D printing where it truly will make a difference. I suspect its a good few tens of years off though...
Perhaps they're keeping track of each atom individually.
On the contrary, if they were terrible, everybody would be talking about them. This is Microsoft after all. If no one says anything, I would assume it was good.

This is truly awful for the US market. May make sense in Asia, but I can't think of a single relative who would buy something from here. Buy.com was at least a somewhat trusted name; this is just asinine.
I think lots of people have no idea who jwz is. He doesn't have a github page so he must not exist.

Thanks for the feedback! We're definitely considering putting this on our roadmap.

Making Enterprise SEO A Priority Across Your Departments
That is the theory at Google. And then there is the practice. Which varies across the organization, and can be influenced by the manager in a lot of ways.

Let's just say, I've heard rumor that my manager was asked to leave not too long after I was. And the circumstances of my leaving were not entirely unconnected.
Surely that does happen but it wasn't my case.

The option was basically not doing it. Since I made up for my cost it wasn't a bad idea I guess. Now if I get struck by lightning then they will lose future earnings but that's that. It's a big company and other parts of the company would continue just fine.

Not all resources are exchangeable, esp. when some niche research is involved.

Great writeup, but I have a comment on deploy: do you mean that "play start" can be used for production? Because otherwise, Django has runserver for development. It just shouldn't be used for production.
I questioned responding to this at all because privilege is a social aspect, not a biological one. An extra six years of life isn't exactly a benefit because those extra six years aren't added to my childhood or adulthood, but at the end of my life when I'm waning. But if we're going to talk about biology, we can talk about the wonderful stuff most women have the pleasure of dealing with on a monthly basis for the majority of their lives, we can talk about childbirth and the expectation of what constitutes 'a woman' (which is really a mix of both of these things) and we can talk about how it's more likely a girl will be judged/ridiculed based on her appearance.

Your second link also says that more women graduate high school than their male counterparts, and that 70% of college Valedictorians are women. Does that have anything to do with affirmative action, which was put in place to create equality to begin with?

It's projected we're going to own greater than 50% of the total wealth in the West for the first time in history? Fantastic, because we're greater than 50% of the population. I don't get this point at all.

You're reaching for statistics here, and I'm not even going to touch the divorce thing. I'll leave that for Reddit and Men's Rights, plus I'm biased because my father abandoned our family and three of my best friends growing up were equally raised by single mothers.
At least at Microsoft, and I assume other primarily tech companies, there are level bands (job titles) above "senior developer" (principal, partner, technical fellow, distinguished engineer) that have nothing to do with management. Generally one can have a full career striving for technical fellow/distinguished engineer without stagnating (though not necessarily achieving it, tis a lofty accomplishment).

I wonder what the tech stack is. At the one company I'm involved with that made it big, typical forums are just not scalable enough. Even the typical CMS we had is floored by the number of users. These things are just not, generally, written to scale. They perform dozens of DB calls per page, run into locking issues, can't handle enormous user tables, etc..

Secure Code Review: A Practical Approach
I've been administering a vBulletin forum for 8 years or so. Let me tell you, this is a great idea.

Just yesterday, I was evaluating a bunch of forum software and came out empty handed:

The OSS forum scene is just depressing, some of the more popular packages still use tables for layout. I themed a table based layout (vBulletin 3.x) once, _never_ again.

The paid packages are just full of shit no-one needs. vBulletin is basically social networking software at this point. These things are so complicated only geeks, and I say that with love, can possibly figure out how to use them. It's a pissing match between competitors.

However, no import (as far as I can tell) means I can't move over to Discourse. And, in your FAQ, you actually suggest that I shouldn't move. I think you underestimate how much hate I have for forum software.

As a developer, Jeff, what I really want is SO self-policing features, as a service that I can use in other products. Discourse is nice and all, but I want to build something more than a forum.
That is ... incredibly stupid.

I'm no 40K fan (at all), but I realize it's huge. On the other hand, the concept of "marines, but in space" really is a genre trope as pointed out in the article. It feels wrong for a single company to own that generic term.

I've read if not shelf-meters then certainly shelf-decimeters of SF with plenty of marines in them, none being of the Warhammer variety.

I'm looking forward (not) for the chilling effects to make authors invent new wordings to avoid infringement.

I think TSX is one of the most exciting architectural advancements to come around in a long time. There are lots of situations where memory could theoretically be modified by multiple threads simultaneously, but where conflicts will almost never occur in practice. Applications tend to be coded to avoid writes to the same memory from multiple cores not just for correctness reasons but because it causes cache lines to bounce between cores. However, because of the theoretical possibility of simultaneous access, you still have to use a relatively heavyweight lock to ensure correctness.

TSX promises to lower the overhead dramatically in such cases. I don't think it's clear yet how it will be implemented, but Dave Kanter over at RWT has speculated it will leverage the cache coherence protocol: http://www.realworldtech.com/haswell-tm.

To support cache coherency, cores already communicate with each other about reads and writes to cache lines. Multiple cores can have a line in their cache, but if any core modifies their copy, they have to send a message to the other cores signaling that their old copies are invalid (somewhat more technical description: http://www.di.unipi.it/~vannesch/SPA%202010-11/Silvia.pdf).

Kanter speculates that TSX uses this existing mechanism to cheaply support transactions. During a transaction, each core keeps track of the cache lines it has read or written to during the transaction. If it gets a message that another thread has written to a line it read from, or otherwise read from a line it wrote to, it aborts the transaction. Otherwise, the transaction commits successfully. This theoretically allows transactions that don't conflict to be handled completely locally to the core.

It's open source. https://github.com/discourse/discourse

Discourse implements a variety of open source tech. You may wish to familiarize yourself with the various components that Discourse is built on, in order to be an effective contributor:

Languages/Frameworks

Ruby on Rails - Our back end API is a Rails app. It responds to requests RESTfully and responds in JSON.
Ember.js - Our front end interface is an Ember.js app that communicates with the Rails API.
Databases

PostgreSQL - Our main data store is Postgres.
Redis - We use Redis for our job queue, rate limiting, as a cache and for transient data.
If the manager does not provide direction, ask for it. If they still do not provide direction, set your own. The grass always looks greener on the other side. Sometimes, you are the problem, not the manager.

Reminds me of the story about the traveler and the new city. He left because he thought the people there were horrible. Upon arriving at the gate of the new city, he asked a man sitting by the gate, "How are the people here in this city?" To which the sitting man replied, "How were they in the city you came from?" "Oh... they were horrible, mean people."

"You'll find them the same here."
This is dumb. Responsive design doesn't necessarily increase usability, and could massively decrease it - if you create a one-size-fits all interface, a lot of platform-specific UX enhancements can be lost - e.g. touch events like swiping through a slideshow etc.
A frequent mocker’s experience with unit testing and .NET mocking
They only "own" it because they're taking it. Space marines were used in science fiction before they did it. They're taking something that doesn't belong to them, by being much bigger than their opponent. The word for that is bullying.
No, there really isn't hard proof which is why I'm assuming ars didn't jump to that conclusion.

To me what points to it the most is why would somebody rip off those RetractionWatch articles in India. It seems that something other than trying to increase ad revenue is going on here.

A tiny mention at the end, but this is 90% of the show. Try this: buy a half gallon of from-concentrate orange juice and a bottle of orange extract. Put a tablespoon or so of the orange extract into the half gallon of orange juice, and shake it up. Now taste it, and tell me that "not from concentrate" has much to do with anything.

They go out, obviously. Up or out is only better than the very worst cultures. Given how maddeningly difficult it is to find competent people at any pay grade it seems extremely stupid to chuck everyone out after a while. It also implies a bias towards promoting from within, which is a great way to create cultural stagnation.
Request HN: If you're looking for an idea, here's my problem
As a developer I have a pretty flex schedule, so my schedule is pretty irregular. One of the unfortunate draw backs of that is when I have meetings with non developers they're almost always "early", and I almost always forget about them. I wish I had an app that automatically connected to my outlook calender, and set an alarm clock. I have an iphone, and a fit bit.

Just an idea :D
