The left would require that pro-violence sites be blocked, the right would require that child porn sites be blocked, and everyone would complain about access to "terrorist" sites. And the RIAA would get involved. Having a single government point of failure seems to introduce a lot of problems.

Making the Move to HTML5, Part 1
If we look at CPAN http://search.cpan.org/search?query=redis&mode=all , there are a few things right in the search results. We have version numbers, release dates, and a review score. All of those give you a chance at finding a half decent library. The first result was updated a week or 2 ago and has 4 significant digits in the version number. None of it's a guarantee but it's a place to get started.
If governments make ex post facto changes to the tax law, you create a volatile business environment that turns off new investments especially from overseas investors. This is why countries that nationalize previously private enterprises without notice end up screwing up foreign investment. Who wants to start a company in X country if at any time they can say "No, too bad. Pay me 90% in taxes now."
Will Software Eliminate Physical Retail? Not Quite
Why would you compare a PHP framework to either Python or Ruby?
A counter is one way to do it, but they probably use event data because it is much richer and more powerful. I'm guessing they don't just store a generic tick every time someone views a page.

If they're doing it right, they're storing everything about the person viewing a page, and everything about the person whose page they are viewing, every time a page view happens. That way they can run analysis on the pages themselves as well as the page viewers' activities.

The reason it's impressive is that they have 200M users doing X number of page views per day, over the course of an entire year.

Let's say the average user does 1 pageview per day. 200M x 1 x 365 = 73B events.

Now they're sorting those 73B events by the pages viewed so they can sort out which pages got the most views.

It's not rocket science, but it's pretty cool IMO :)
It wouldn't be "Free as air", it would be buried in your taxes along with twice the bureaucracy necessary to run it. Judging by other government IT projects, especially at the fed level, it would also be more concerned with filling out forms in triplicate than actually getting anybody connected to the Internet.

At the municipal level, though, things seem to run more smoothly and the amount of tax waste seems to be less. Keep the Feds out other than to provide the bandwidth, IMO.
Mixpanel - Join our engineering team
Hi HN,

We're looking for people to join our product and infrastructure engineering teams.

Mixpanel is the most advanced analytics platform for mobile & web. Our mission is to help the world learn from its data. We currently analyze over 10 billion actions every month and it has grown over a billion for the past 3 months. Our company has raised $12M to date (Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, etc.) and we're profitable.

Product engineers at Mixpanel work on everything from building our beautiful pricing page to building our JavaScript intensive products to writing Python APIs. Their job is to build core product for our customers. An example project you would work on at Mixpanel on the product engineering team is the entire Revenue Analytics feature we recently launched: http://mixpanel.com/revenue

Infrastructure engineers at Mixpanel work on our 2 custom data stores we built in-house from scratch. They make sure Mixpanel has great uptime, is highly reliable, has high performance. They primarily write code in C and Python and maintain our 200+ servers.

I'd love to talk if you're interested, just email me at suhail@mixpanel.com

You can learn more at http://mixpanel.com/jobs

well, if we're allowing sd cards, the surface (pro and rt) comes with a built-in adapter I believe.
I'm using it at a 100-person office but nobody wants to integrate yet-another-step into their daily processes or have to hop around different places to get different pieces of information (because naturally, John Doe will always want to do it his way if there isn't a policy otherwise or when it becomes too chaotic). It's the same 5-10 of us that make irregular posts and maybe an additional 5 that will occasionally lurk when they remember to. I suspect those people use the desktop client and just always have it running. No one takes advantage of the chat, the secret groups (okay, maybe one team is that I'm not aware of), or the file-sharing. That said, I've complained about the shoddy design and the confusing interface here before, so I'm happy it didn't take off internally.

This has led me to believe that if they're not able to use social features from within the software they're already using (that's already connected to our existing data), they probably won't use them to any effective capacity at all. We run a homebrew CRM, but I don't think slapping a chat or a file system into it will suddenly fix the problem. That said, I think company culture has a lot to do with it too; getting up and talking to people and scheduling meetings with them is highly encouraged here.

That all said, Jive's business enterprise stuff is probably the best in this arena right now because of how much you can do with it and how extensible it is, but I've been asking for us to switch for two years to no avail because management doesn't see the value in constant, but passive, streams of information.

wow. thanks for writing that up. if it's any consolation, you likely just saved me untold amounts of pain as i am wrangling with what approach to take for saving a small but not trivial amount of structured data in my app. this pretty much rules out core data!
He does a lot of things like this. Look at the "main" picture, the graph of storage breakdown. Instead of aligning the sections, he makes it intentionally misleading with that orange block on the right.

I'm not sure why he's being so misleading here, since he would have had a point anyhow.

Solid state storage is always delivered in capacities that correspond to binary gigabytes, because that's how the chips themselves are sized, packaged, and addressed by the SSD controller. The Surface has 128GiB of NAND (not HDD), and the reserved "spare area" that is not visible to the OS makes the usable area 119.2GiB, or 128 decimal GB.

Nice idea overall, it is really annoying to follow all the shows I usually watch.

First suggestion - somehow differentiate between shows that are currently airing, postponed, and canceled/finished. There is no point in following Fringe, for example, however there is a point in 'liking' it in order to get better recommendations.
Supporting 4 digit years might help on the usability front. I'm probably a special case, but I forgot what the format was, as it disappears immediately upon clicking on the field, and naively went with a 4 digit format. There's no helpful error message on the demo page either -- the field just highlights in red.

I don't immediately how much is just how that form was constructed vs. what's done in the JS lib.

Then i guess i should have a much more vague yet precise question.

Going off your last sentence, it seems that you may have misunderstood me. I know that there is no such thing as the 'best' tool, best strategy or best language or what have you.
My dad owns a workshop filled with hundreds of tools and machines. There is simply no best tool, each tool or machine is designed for a very specific use in a very specific situation and from what I have read on HN that seems to be the case with programming as well.
I remember reading an article linked on HN discussing different programming languages and one quote in particular shocked me, "what can be done in one language may take two lines of code, but done in another the same task can take a thousand lines of code." This is what led me to ask the question 'what language should i learn.'
I'll do my best to further describe what i want to accomplish, but first watch this video of a program called gource http://bit.ly/UHcc9w

From what i have read about gource it seems that two rules define the interaction between the dots and the lines to create very complex and sometimes mesmerizing behavior.
A) All dots project a repelling force which only affects other dots
B) Lines, which represent file directories, provide a sort of skeleton between dots. They are modeled with an attracting force affecting each dot on either end of a line.

What I want to do is create (or find) software which allows users to quickly and easily create simulations of objects in an environment which can also be defined by the user. (think mine-craft, but you can now play god with the laws of physics, create new sets of rules, forces ect.)

http://bit.ly/UHentV
But i would want this program to operate on two levels of complexity. I would want to have fun and experiment with familiar concepts, like gravity, wind, light, ect. but in an easy and accessible way. However i would also want the ability to create abstract system with odd rules defined by modifiers, object archetypes, environmental effects and object states. I want to replicate the behavior of a light wave with all the glorious physics equations which would come along with that. I would want the software to be flexible.
For a very rough idea of what i have in mind look at the scribblenauts unlimited object attribute editor here http://bit.ly/11ts1n7

sorry for the wall of text, i did my best to explain.
Don't assume people will go as far as trying your app to find out. Most people don't understand the difference anyways between the app and marketing site.

The point behind following the show would would be if you never saw it before. For instance, if I just started watching fringe, I would have multiple seasons to go through since I have never seen it before- I can still use the sites 'watched' feature per episode, to know where I left off.
How many startups out there are kicking off some new product and basing their launch exclusively on Microsoft technologies? Even in recent memory, the only one I can think of would be StackExchange.

I _really_ like C#. But other than limited Mono support, you're forced into using or relying on your users to conform to Microsoft standards.
Hey.

1. The name doesn't suggest I can watch shows (rather, just a reminder service)

Backbone and jQuery do different jobs, they complement each other quite well.

For the next year you'd have a much better chance of getting a Django or RoR job than a Meteor job. Meteors still the new kid on the block so it's still in a process of picking up traction. Beyond the next year, who knows...anything could happen. As long as you understand the underlying principles of web development, picking up new technology should be trivial.

Wow, I didn't know that. It's terrible that iOS devices are more manageable in an enterprise than an RT device. I would have thought it would be bullet point #1 on the feature list. It's kind of telling really. RT seems very confused - shipping with Office seems to target it at business users. But being unsuable in a corporate environment makes it only viable as a consumer device. But then it's very expensive as a consumer device. Perhaps in the end it's just not right for anybody and that is the answer to why it's not sold well.

I see your point, but for me 'following' the show means getting notifications about when the new episode comes out. What's the point in following when it does not move anywhere. In any case, this is an argument about terminology. I would have used something different for shows that will not be aired anymore.

BTW, this is what I used before - http://eztv.it/showlist/
I find this status page to be quite useful, however I have to check manually every time if new episode came out.
well, that's fair. I'd say I don't really care about my appearance. So?
The review score thing is nice, is there anything like that in packaging systems for other languages?

Usually I just check the commit activity on github if I want to see which Go libraries are actively developed.

HTTP responses are incredibly difficult to work with. I was under the impression that a login form should return 200, as the HTML page that loaded was indeed returned OK. I can't find any documentation that actually says, and a lot of live websites don't seem to do one or the other consistently.

You are right though, HTTP basic auth should have always returned some sort of salted hash. It was probably only omitted for simplicity.
Modals used effectively reduce the complexity of a webapps primary view, exposing only what you want to see at a time.

If you feel modals have wronged you in this life as you seem to, there is no point in trying to persuade your short-sightedness.

For the past 23 years I have only very occasionally had the need to use Office-type applications. Today the typical uses of Office applications implies an outdated way of working.

For example, my company lives and breathes through its internal wiki -- which is quite an accomplishment since we are owned by a company that still lives in the dark ages: mailing Office attachments to each other.

Sure, the wiki software could have been a lot better. For one it needs an order of magnitude better performance. And it would be nice if the install wasn't such a messy affair. But it beats the alternative hands down. It beats mailing documents. It beats juggling multiple versions of documents. It beats overflowing mailserver quotas.

Most of all it beats not having to run Windows XP because the people who came before you were stupid fuckups who decided to tie everything so closely to a single platform that they can only afford to move the company to a new OS version every 10 years. And then only after a herculean effort. Inbetween everyone runs on outdated software. For a whole decade.

Real change doesn't come from offering marginal compatibility. Real change comes from not having stupid problems.

LibreOffice is a solution to a problem you should not be having.
"the right would require that child porn sites be blocked, and everyone would complain about access to "terrorist" sites."

Probably switch those two, and you'd be dead on.
My take on humor is that if you need to make racist jokes to be "funny", you're pretty bad at your job as a comedian.

There's nothing funny about racism, sexism, or other discrimination. And if calling out people for being utterly insensitive and dismissive of minorities makes me an "intellectual terrorist", I'm happy to accept that label.
I've not used the APIs in question, but I'm not sure how this can be totally unexpected, given the marketing promises and the actual technical goals. I read your comment as: "Transparent distributed storage? What could possibly go wrong!"
Something about the entire basis of this article urks me. Maybe it is from me starting into mobile development, but in the end or near future, it is to mobile's benefit that applications are platform agnostic and live on the web. There will be circumstances where native development is beneficial, but there will come the time where the facebook app or the cnn app should no longer be relevant. So I'm not sure why in the long term this even matters, the only necessity is that the production is scaled to where they don't lose money. At the same time, I'm probably making this argument more for Ubuntu for phones than anything else.
IE and Chrome both have ways of restricting iframes from changing window.top.location, but I wouldn't trust them to work.

In addition to the inefficiency, putting a large proportion of the communications infrastructure directly under Federal control would seem to make political interferance way too easy as well. Assuming they could get the thing up and running as promised, of course.

There is more than one mobile train. The mobile market has tracks going all over and is still very dynamic. There is a lot of room for disruption and change.

Beyond Android and iOS - Windows 8 mobile, Firefox OS mobile, Ubuntu for phones, Tizen, Sailfish, perhaps even a renewed effort by open WebOS - all of these mobile platform efforts have a chance to reshape the market over the coming years.

Regarding #3, I'm not sure I quite see the link. Long-distance phone service is at most 64kbps of data, and these days typically far less. I agree that there's demand, and current service and prices are greatly sub-par, but the comparison with phone service seems completely wrong, since phone service is so much easier to provide.
The fields seem nice, but use the cursor keys to edit and they fall apart.
I like the idea of being connected to a scientist...other kinds of researchers, including journalists, would also have interesting projects to work on, particularly involving overlooked datasets.

But yeah, the stock photography should be changed...it's not mediocre, it's just detrimental to the point of discrediting the overall project. Just use icons that can serve as symbols...such as a glass beaker for science.

Elevator Pitch: Keep your ego out of it
Basically the article says: Microsoft lies to you, Apple lies to you and basically everyone is lying to you when it comes to store in hard drives, pen drives, SSD, etc.

At least our bandwidth limitations follow the base we are expecting too, can you imagine you have 100 GB / monthly but for real is 9X something?

The industry is laughing on us.
I wouldn't mind as long as it was cheap and I could still get competing services. If it drove out all competitors and left me stuck with an inevitably sub-par public wireless network, I'd be pretty annoyed.
One differentiator is that Macs come with iLife suite that are a pretty extensive and popular addition, whereas windows comes with office which is easily replaced for most people with free and/or cloud offerings.
but when it says 'watch online' - does that mean it's only going to help me track shows that are freely pirated online? I just want to get an email when Game of Thrones starts again for instance, or Dr Who: how will that work? I don't want to watch them on the web even.
This post is basically the same thing as complaining about the existence of hot dogs. We all know they're just a device to institutionalize the act of fellatio.

I've been using followshows for some months now and I'm very satisfied overall. It's quite useful for keeping track of shows regardless of where I watch them.

There have been some issues with double items in the queue for some shows. For example, seasons 11 and 13 have the same episodes here:

Agreed. The way I tend to use the repl in clojure is just to code up a script in vim and then %Eval the whole thing. Editor plugins for Go could compile-and-run, and know stuff like the working directory and the gopath, which could get you a bit closer without having to build a real REPL.
