>It was a non sequitur, and a straw man

It was neither, and repetition is not an argument. Let me paraphrase the conversation in the desperate hope you will at least read this since you refuse to read the thread you are discussing:

Me: if you are seeing 2x slower, then that seems like unusual uses of python.
Him: I think some real world uses of python are 90% C libraries and 10% python
Me: I feel the cases you are referring to are the unusual ones I spoke of.

>You weren't "reiterating" anything - you never said anything about "your uses"

Yes, I did: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5202119

>You must have some very unusual uses for that to be true

Wow, its like I am really saying exactly what I told you I was saying!

>Your Django argument falls flat if you look at it more closely. Sure, Django might introduce some slowness, but the vast majority of web performance is in the networking and database layers, not the application layer

That is completely, and entirely false. Scripting language web frameworks like django, rails, zend, etc are dozens to hundreds of times slower than similar frameworks in compiled languages.

>But my accusations of straw man arguments were correct.

No, they were not. And your continued insistence that your arrogant and pointless accusation was correct is absurd. If you don't wish to read something, don't reply to it.
Challenging thing. I agree the NYT article read like a hatchet job but still. Nobody likes having their baby called ugly, the response though could be a bit more measured. Looking forward to Tesla's log analysis and their take on the situation.

Apple provides push notifications, which work similar to SMS messages, in that your server can push data to the device without needing the device to poll, due to deep integration with the lower level cellular whatsis. I think Android has something similar as well, but I'm not completely familiar with it.

Basically, IP over 3G works pretty well overall but can be a real battery hog, and dropping down to something more native can be a big win. Cellular radios are built to use very little electricity while monitoring for a wakeup call from the tower they're connected to, so if you can take advantage of that like push notifications let you do, then you'll do a lot better.

A somewhat less wonderful alternative is to keep a persistent TCP connection open with a very long timeout, with the remote end sending a notification to wake up the phone when needed. You'll have no traffic most of the time, and the wakeup being initiated from the remote end removes the need to poll. I believe this is how Skype (and other VoIP apps that allow incoming calls in the background) works on iOS.

Edit: I forgot another technique that some iOS developers have used: register with the "significant location change" API, which can be used to wake up your app when the cell radio switches towers, and then check for new data then. This is technically an abuse of the API (which is intended for when you actually need to know about location changes) but works well enough. It can help to e.g. ensure your stuff is recently synced before the user goes into the subway and beyond data coverage. Once again, this is using low-level cell radio stuff to avoid overtaxing things.

Similar post that was on the front page recently: "No, I'm not going to download your bullshit app" http://tommorris.org/posts/8070 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5162841)

I agree, while the app might provide a better experience for Browsing the site in question is does not provide the information that I am currently seeking. Forums often do the "Download our mobile app" (I assume that they are all running on something, PHPBB?, that makes it dead-simple to make an app or point one master app at their particular forum).

Also to your point about not having a mobile->desktop redirect - I hate this. My roommate and I are looking to buy a house and he spends most of his time looking for houses on his phone (in class) so the links he posts on the Trello, that we are using to keep track of the houses, are all mobile. They often don't have as many pictures of the house as the full site does and the controls are often awkward to use. Worse yet, simply removing the "m" from "m.sitename.com" doesn't link to the desktop version and I often have to copy the address, go to the main site, and search for the house to find it.

It looks like they don't support BART yet. You should probably change the title so it's not false advertising for those of us who are eager for more apps that truly support all sf transit options.
Sure, but my gas powered car doesn't take hours to charge and the mileage does not fluctuate as much as an electronic car does due to weather.
For me the advantage of Emacs over a set of IDEs is its ability to support multiple languages very well within a single unified environment. In a typical day I'm writing Common Lisp, C++, XML, XSLT, shell scripts, documentation. The only time I'm not working in Emacs is when I switch to Eclipse for the odd Java project, because that's what everyone else uses in my department.

Have a I spent a lot of time customizing my environment? Absolutely. But it fits me like a well oiled leather glove and makes me incredibly productive. I don't need to learn separate environments for Lisp, C++, XML...

A lot of this is personal preference and familiarity. When I sit down with Visual Studio or XCode I'm completely lost and feel like I'm wearing shackles.
I haven't used cscope. Perhaps it's amazing, but the home page suggests that it works for C++ only because it's a bit slack about its parsing of C. So I'm guessing not.

Regarding ctags, it's useful enough, but it doesn't do a great job of things like jumping to the definition of the "flags" part of "p->flags", if you've got lots of structs that have a "flags" in them. Same goes for member functions. It's absolutely no fun trying to find out what something is, and just getting a list of every single thing of that name in your program. Thanks ctags... but I actually know how to use grep. And if I used grep, I'd get a callers list too.

I found ctags workable, but overall disappointing.

>>I don't think this is true "on any occasion"

Woah woah here... I wasn't about to fully support the grandparent here, but I would hazzard a guess that more often than not, persons end up misquoted, out of context, or sentences are strung together "just so" to make you "think" in a certain manner, that may not be factual. It happens everywhere. My own anecdotal evidence: I was in boy scouts, we camped near a farm field, trampled rows of corn to make a boundary for a capture the flag game, got busted, and had to go back and pick up all the corn by hand and make amends with farmer. The newspaper wrote up a fantastic article about how local boy scouts helped the community by helping a farmer reap damaged crops. there were no lies or factual inaccuracies in the article, sans lies of omission. From this, and what others respond to you, I'd believe this happens more often that not. But certainly not at 100% either.
This is a good point, with a few caveats:

1) gasoline-fueled cars have a significantly higher range than their electric battery-fueled peers,

2) heat is "free" in a gas-fueled car where it's an added cost in electric battery-fueled cars, and

3) gas range is more predictable than battery capacity, the latter of which being more sensitive to ambient temperature.

These factors contribute to a significant advantage for gasoline-fueled cars in colder climates.
The setup I'm looking for is to be able to set up an IPSec tunnel to a home machine to be able to a) access machines and b) watch videos.

dd-wrt does not support IPSec (not without recompiling and having to fiddle with a bunch of stuff) so that's why I was thinking about terminating in a server acting as VPN endpoint.

PS. PPTP is not a consideration due to its security flaws.

It's worth noting that some ~85% of apartments in Manhattan are coop not condos where this often wouldn't happen. Developers like condos because they can sell to anyone. Buying in an established building means meeting whatever requirements the coop board sets. This can vary from the easy to the onerous.

What side effect is that I would posit that coop owner-occupancy rates are much, much higher.

Coop boards tend to have heavy restrictions on subletting too, which admittedly is more of an issue to lower income earners than the megawealthy (that seem to be the "culprits" for vacant luxury condos).

Personally I'd find it eerie living in a large apartment tower and never seeing any other residents. Lonely is right.

To be fair, you're going to have to take rest stops of that kind of length for a 1000 mile drive.
Look, electric cars are great, and I'm looking forward to the day when I can buy one, but this is BS.

First, the power the run the fan is minuscule. On the order of a few Watts. Maybe a few tens of Watts at most. It's an order of magnitude less than what is needed to run seat heaters (and those have almost no measurable effect on a Model S's range, which is why "range mode" uses seat heat in favor of air conditioning). The energy use you're talking about is enough to move the car an extra few hundred feet after a multi-hundred mile drive.

Second, every ICE has a thermostat on the radiator. It greatly reduces coolant flow to the radiator when the car is warming up, or any other time that the coolant is below optimal temperature. I spent many years in the northern (continental) United States and never encountered a situation where the coolant temperature gauge on an ICE car failed to show normal operating temperature after 10-20 minutes of warm-up time.

The cold-weather fuel economy difference in a conventional car mostly comes down to greater air density.

SQL Server and Excel PivotTables uses Vertipaq. The main idea is data along columns tend to not change very much. Therefore, one is able to compress data in memory in columns, achieving a very high degree of compression.

On top of that, all these ARM Cortex based boards have a closed hypervisior on them. It's pretty silly to run this as a router when you have no idea what's running in the hypervisior. I haven't been able to find any information on what it's actually running except some sources say that it might be running a port of Xen for ARM.

Using them to program your robot plant-watering robot is fine but using it for any kind of internet connected device more complicated than that is probably a bad idea.

You made a generalization about journalists, which I disputed. Your response has granted that your original generalization is not, in fact, generally applicable (with reasoning that ought to also exclude all political journalism, as well as the vast majority of other current affairs news and sports journalism amongst others) and then started talking about the NYT review.

So I'm not really sure how I'm supposed to respond. You can't make a broad statement like "Journalists are basically people who would rather be writing fiction" then immediately rebase to "the scenario in this story".

Much of the EU is elected. The European Parliament is directly elected by the people, and the Commission is chosen by governments that are elected by the people, and the Council of Minister is the elected people themselves.

Any complaint about unelectedness of the EU could easily be applied to (say) the UK, or any other EU country. The UK civil service isn't elected by the people, but is instead sorta controlled by the directly elected people. David Cameron is current UK Prime Minister, but only the people of Witney could vote for/against him. Is that democratic? Actually commissioners change more often than members of the UK civil service, so the EU is probably more democratic.

Complaints about the unaccountability of EU by the people could just as easily apply to many other EU countries (like UK). How many people in the UK vote regularly? It shows that many people don't know/care about the process.

These arguments about 'the unelected and unaccountable EU' are really just misleading arguments, since those complaints aren't used against other unelected or unaccountable governments like the UK, but are only used against the EU. England alone used to be 7 different kingdoms (~1,500 years ago), why not split it back like that again if the UK government is so undemocratic?
This is reaching a bit.

1) The nominal amount of electricity used by a heater blower motor is not going to measurably affect the range of your trip (this is most likely the same for the Tesla)

2) The heat from the engine block is waste heat from the relatively inefficient combustion process. This heat has to be actively dissipated in most driving conditions (typically even in winter). It is essentially free to pipe this heat into the cabin. Now contrast this with the Tesla's 400 electrical resistance heater, which has to directly compromise range to generate cabin heat.

As Peroni mentioned, Targeted is more effective yet difficult.

A good approach to this is something that I would call "passive targeted recruiting", basically implement policies as "always be recruiting" and having your doors open (office-hours work great for this), take 1 - 2 hours of your week to talk with people interested in knowing more about your company, etc. Also I would say enforce cultural fit over technical, I saw Polyvore's about page and see that you do a really good job selling your culture :).
