It says that in the article, eh? :-)

This is where I would usually say, "Silly me, I misread the article. Sorry, that's what I get for commenting in the wee hours."

So I re-read the article, and I can't see where it says that at all. The only mention of "keyboard" is in this section:

> As part of Samsung's desire to "improve" Android, they've created a "Clipboard History" function.

> It's pretty nifty. It shows you the last 20 items you copied - be they text or images. The only downside is that it only works if you're using the default Samsung Keyboard. (For iOS users - keyboards on Android are apps. You can swap them out if you want a better or different keyboard).

> If you don't use the Samsung Keyboard, items are still copied onto their clipboard - but you're unable to access them.

> Once you have copied around 20 items, the phone throws this error:...

When I read that, it seemed to be saying that the problem happens when you don't use the Samsung keyboard. That was the only way I could make sense of this: "The only downside is that it only works if you're using the default Samsung Keyboard... If you don't use the Samsung Keyboard, items are still copied onto their clipboard - but you're unable to access them. Once you have copied around 20 items, the phone throws this error:"

I still may have missed something, of course, but it's pretty unclear what the author means. Does the problem happen only with the Samsung keyboard? Only with other keyboards? Or what?

And now that I think about it, how would the input method selection affect the operation of the Copy action? Does Copy go through the input method at all? I get exactly the same select-text-and-Copy interaction regardless of what input method I've selected. Even if I select the Null Keyboard or Null Input Method, I still get exactly the same interaction for select and copy. This makes me suspect that the input method isn't involved in this interaction, although I don't know the Android architecture well enough to be sure.
Thanks for catching this; I updated accordingly.
Is there anyway to block the traffic that anyone knows of? I hate having to use 'offline mode' because my songs aren't scrobbled. Also as a paying user it's a kick in the teeth to have the client taking my bandwidth AND cpu while I'm not even using it. As a side note, Spotify has some of the worst community relations I've ever seen.

much in the same manner that a "bee dance" can be universally understood across hives/colonies except it's based on actual sounds rather than movements.

This actually makes them less like humans. Almost all social animals have instinctive ways to communicate. Think of it as hard-coded stuff which does not need to be learned. A bee is born knowing to communicate using dancing.

What makes humans different is that we don't have universally shared words for anything. Neither objects, nor squares, nor colors.

Very large language families like Indo-European can share many root words. But no word is universally shared or instinctively understood. All must be learned.

A high quality reference implementation. This is, in fact, a trait shared with pretty much every other language to gain traction in the last 20 years. In Lisp, there is substantial fragmentation on how do things like GUI and Networking, and often no clear winner. SBCL seems to be the de-facto FOSS implantation, but Allegro is the leading commercial vendor.
> E.g. Is it backwards compatible? Will it play used games? Can I take my save data to a friend's house? Can I replace the HDD if it fails or I run out of space? Etc.

Only one of those desires is about the hardware, and it's not central to the user experience.

But I agree - the hardware is very much alive, but it is moving to the background, no longer center stage.
This doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I didn't know anybody who worked at Google before I joined, and a good chunk of my co-workers didn't either.

The author may be reading into the question "do you know anyone here?" too much. It could easily be that the recruiters are just trying to figure out if they can ask anyone inside for an internal reference. If not, no big deal. It would just be another signal to use.

Because Linux is technically the name of just the kernel, not the entire system encompassing userspace as well. There's definitely room for misinterpretation there.

Good point. You can go to jail for that; it makes you a felon.
Yeah. And on top of connection quality issues, some companies with bandwidth caps count uploads as well. I haven't really seen what kind of bandwidth would be used but it's something I'm going to check out and possibly warn some people I've recommended it to in the past.
I'm not so sure that's a good example. It seems to me that PG had a Lisp he'd created for his own gratification and Hacker News was a good chance to try it out in the real world. It's hard to imagine Hacker News would have suffered if Arc hadn't been ready yet and he'd been forced to use Django or something. I think HN helped Arc more than vice-versa.
Thanks! Actually since winter is going (opo GOT ;) ... we decided to go with one warmer look, ended up going with the tweed blazer. Our next look is totally different and in-fact is an ensemble with pants; if you signed up you should be notified soon ( collection 1 is selling out so expect that one next week). Future collections should be more complete from an ensemble perspective - we just have to balance cost/price and value in these early stages.
I just use my operating systems firewall to block Spotify from connecting to any IP address that isn't theirs. It results in you streaming music from only Spotify's servers and it prevents any uploads from your computer.

I've found this to be the best solution.
Sure a sore throat could be a sign of something worse. But most of the time, it is not. Running to the doctor every time you feel a little off is not practical, and it's expensive because doctors are relatively scarce. In systems where healthcare is "free", doctors give patients a couple of their time at most and are barely keeping up with the flow of patients. Nothing is free.
As far as I know (which isn't too much), there's nothing wrong with that. But since monkeyfacebag mentioned the psychology of code writing, there definitely seem to be algorithms that lend themselves to recursion. At the very least, some algorithms are more intuitively grasped as recursive - and the same obviously holds for iterative.
Well, first of all most of that code is straight C. Anybody can create a simple package to make 5 lines 1 line if you only want it to do one thing.

"I lived through the era of Windows trouncing Unix."

On servers? There was no such era! Windows never dominated the server market. Sure, there were some companies that were Windows shops, but most servers were and still are unix/linux.

"A major reason why it happened is because people were familiar with Windows on their desktop and found the gui tools easier to use on their servers."

This might be true for mom & pop shops where the servers were run by desktop users, but on the enterprise level where corporations could afford their own sysadmins, Windows is and always has been a minor player.
As far as I knew, this was the goal of the Open Handset Alliance -- build a technology called Android that other members could use in the development of their own technologies.

Android was always supposed to sit in the background -- somewhat similarly to how WebKit works. It's not "WebKit", it's Chrome, Safari, Opera Browser, etc etc.

I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but "Android" is a brand that strikes me as not appealing to the masses.

Why you would post this is beyond me.

Now come on, the reason they raised the bar from 25,000 to 100,000 is to keep up with the site's increasing popularity. They could have set the bar to 100,000 at the site's launch instead of 5,000, but no petitions would have reached the threshold.

As for petitions actually having results, I imagine they are the weakest form of lobbying possible. The executive branch sees them and that is all.
There is no shame in failure. There will be plenty of life to look forward to, for you and your investors, after your 2 months are up. Go on to greater and better things.

Many great entrepreneurs failed many times before ultimately succeeding. Even a successful company goes on to a constant stream of failures, with enough successes in the mix to come out a net positive. This is true of Amazon, Google, and all the rest.

A Churchill quote comes to mind. "Success is never final, failure is never fatal. The important thing is to never, never, give up".

Do you mean to say that Sony would consider violating some person's Property Rights just because it's cheaper or even free of charge to steal "Intellectual Property" than it is to figure out if some person owns the "IP" and who that person might be, and then negotiate a contract for the legal, proper use of the "IP"? Shocking! Just Shocking that some person would impugn Sony's good "Intellectual Property" name over an icon!

If the author wants to work at Google and believes that knowing someone at Google is a prerequisite to get hired (doubtful) then he should try to connect with Google employees. It's not that hard, there are tens of thousands of them. Many of them participate in well known open source projects, and are active on mailing lists, social networks, etc.

In other words, the author created a limitation in his mind and didn't bother trying to overcome it. I'd call this anti-resourcefulness.

There are a couple of SaaS there that I wanted to test for a long time. It seems that's the opportunity.
Personally, I find that traversing data structures recursively is more straightforward than iterative approaches, at least for most of the data structures I deal with. This sort of thing, for example:

(defun search (tree val)
(cond
((null tree) nil)
((= (car tree) val) tree)
((< (car tree) val) (search (cadr tree) val))
((> (car tree) val) (search (cddr tree) val))
)
)

I write this sort of code all the time for more complicated structures; iterative solutions would involve keeping track of a bunch of local variables, which only makes the code more difficult to deal with.
Because, when we say "he took more pictures" we really mean: "to my knowledge, he took more pictures". Just think that you are the FA, and you know that you didn't see the guy take extra pictures, but you want to get him off the flight, and you say "he took more pictures". That would feel like lying, even though it is possible that he took more pictures when you were not looking.

You are also selectively quoting from the dictionaries. E.g. from the merriam-webster dictionary you only quoted meaning 1 a. The other meanings clearly contradict what you claim.

1 :

a : an assertion of something known or believed by the speaker to be untrue with intent to deceive

b : an untrue or inaccurate statement that may or may not be believed true by the speaker

2 : something that misleads or deceives

3 : a charge of lying (see 3 lie)

By this definition, selective quoting qualifies as a lie (meaning 2: something that misleads or deceives). This definition also shows that intent is not even necessary. As written, something that is both true and thought by the speaker to be true and said without intent to mislead can still be a lie if it is misleading the listener. I'm not sure if I agree with this definition, but that's what it says.
That seems to be a bug or those missing listings do not have lat/long. We will look into it and try to fix it. I wish craigslist provided API access to their data. Also there are licensing restrictions, so we do all the processing on the client and the app has no server component.

I use it for my cooking recipe web site http://cookingspace.com. I do a lot of non-trivial calculations for adjusting recipes for ingredients on hand, etc. and the functional style of programming coupled with using maps for in-memory recipe and nutrition data makes it easy to experiment with new code and ideas. I use Compojure+Noir so I tweak UI or back end code, refresh the browser, and see my changes immediately. I also keep a repl open on the same code. In all, a very agile setup.

I also use Clojure for my natural language processing as a web service project (http://kbsportal.com). Both of these sites are 100% Clojure code.

After a long and satisfying career, I (more or less) retired at the beginning of this year and I am working on "side projects" full time :-) Clojure is a great language to use, and except for still occasionally helping old customers, I don't really use Ruby, Java, Scala, or Common Lisp anymore.

"Additionally, the chair of the Citizen's Commission, Norman Williams, the Deputy Director of the West Virginia Department of Natural Resources, called publicly and in testimony before the legislature for the outlawing of coal strip mining throughout the state. He testified that strip mining could not exist as a profit making industry unless it is allowed by the state to pass on the costs of environmental damage to the private landowner or the public."

This is the key point of coal, and really all forms of fossil fuel harvesting. The current U.S. (and India/China) regulatory environment inevitably passes the negative externalities of extracting and consuming the fuels onto the citizens of said countries. (if you factor in carbon, then the citizens of the world)

Thanks for the explanation. I didn't understand how and in what circumstances the posts were linked. It makes sense to bring the discussion to the communities of interest for a variety of reasons, especially if your topics are varied.
Be warned, I tried Seat 14a the first time the showed up on HN and was pretty disappointed. When I opened the box it smelled like some strange oil or plastic chemicals. The scarfs were on par with something you would buy at a .99 cent store. They also promised to show you a picture of the 'ensemble' they made for you before shipping, but only described it in text. To be fair, it does look like they are trying to up the quality this time around.

A ratio of 3:1 doesn't strike me as "almost as much energy as it produces." Would you say that if I gave you $3 for every $1 you gave me?
Agreed. If you look at the pre-iPhone world the dominant way to access web content was WAP - a closed protocol for accessing strictly controlled services managed by the carriers. Blackberry was working closely with carriers to develop closed, branded services with them and Windows Mobile couldn't run a proper browser and had low market share.

I think Google's strategy was to provide no-name handset manufacturers, without the clout to develop these proprietary services or make such deals, with a cheap platform that could browse the web and access Google services. It was a desperate attempt to avoid a world where all mobile services were carrier controlled.

In hindsight they actually needn't have bothered. Apple had sufficient leverage with the iPhone to avoid having to make carrier on-line service lock-in deals. Still, Google couldn't afford to risk that changing, or Apple locking in users to services of it's own.

This is definitely a big step towards making Java reputation suck less and increasing the popularity of Scala.
Yes, by "dangerous" I mean prone to security exploits. I've got nothing against Lisp--I think it's a beautiful language, and I've dabbled in CL, Scheme, and Clojure--but whenever I hear about using data as code I get a warning tingle in the back of my head. One of the lessons of the recent Ruby YAML debacle is that an executable data format will get used for untrusted input eventually somewhere or other. (Edit: For example I can totally imagine the digital circuits simulator from SICP 3.3.4 saving/reading Lisp code as an input document.)

Maybe the power of Lisp's data-as-code is worth the risk. We don't stop using string concatenation because of SQL injection. It's just that I've never even read so much as a warning about this feature, and I'm curious what Lisp users have to say about it.
