It probably would have been better to say v0.10 != v0.1, since obviously "0.10 != 0.1" is a misleading statement.
A point of correction: 9/11 may be an outlier but it's unfair to characterize it as a super unique event. Terrorist attacks routinely kill dozens and even hundreds of people, and this continues even today. Though such attacks are for the moment much less common in the developed world.
Well, no. If you've got all those tabs open and you're flitting between their contents, it's appropriate. It's not the wrong way to use the tool, it's a way to use it that's perfectly appropriate in some cases.

There's no reason I should be fighting against my browser because my optimal workflow causes it to chew through memory!

‘Big Data’ Generates Big Returns: Q&A With VC Roger Ehrenberg
Any time someone says something like this, that's proof that they don't actually understand evolution.

I won't be snarky. I'll just point out that evolution has multiple meanings and I think that it's obvious from context that in this case I'm using 'evolved' as shorthand for more intelligent/advanced/sophisticated.
"Worse than terrorism" is an extremely low bar. It's hard to see how saying that antibiotic resistance could not be worse than terrorism, since terrorism is an extremely minor problem.
Completely agree with the article. I was an SEO for a top 250 site (~20 million UVS a month) years ago and there are two kinds of SEOs. 99.9% of them are this shitty, scammy, scummy personas we've defined. Absolutely worthless. However there are the 0.01% who are "real" SEOs. They get and meet the needs of the users and business, reverse engineer Google patents (they are often SEs with machine learning experience), and do none of these scummy things. They make your business better and improve the experience for users. We "SEO" for your Amazons, Mayo Clinics, and other truly useful businesses who want to do good for the users and who realize by doing so it gets you better rankings. Sure there is some SE specific stuff, but it never overrides the user experience. It complements it. /rant
Love it. Just used it to conveniently share a web page of 76+ freely available newspaper archives with fellow researchers who are helping me with a project. This is solving an immediate problem for me. I love it. Thanks!
Yes, you are right. That's the one I was aiming for. Need more coffee...
Then again, it's not like you can store 0.1.3 as a float.

On the other hand, some version numbers can be stored as floats (kind-of, to a point): Knuth's software is versioned using approximations of irrational numbers, the more digits the later the version. TeX's current version is	3.1415926 and METAFONT's is 2.718281. Both can be stored as floats, although the respective and eventual π and e can't be.
Yes! I'd love for a startup to come in and do a better job than TurboTax, and target LLCs, S-Corps, and small C-Corps. This would be amazing!
Totally understand the concern. We designed Clerky so that you can easily loop in your lawyer to review everything. So if you don't feel comfortable doing everything yourself, you can still have a lawyer review and save yourself time and money by having software take care of all the paperworky aspects (word processing, printing, scanning, collating, etc.). So you get the best of both worlds!
Emails don't have URIs. My email boxes don't have URIs. My main problem is that there's no way to link emails together, so they're not really part of any web.

This might be somewhat ranty and unprofessional, but I have to say it

You learn what's wrong from your parents, and your teachers, and society. I'd like to disagree with you on that point. Yes, you get ideas passed down to your by others, but if you do not bother to examine them and act blindly on the premise that these things must be right, because others told you, without putting any deliberation into the truth of these moral dictates, then...how to get this across without seeming as angry and ranty as I am? Because things like this viscerally disgust me. My parent taught me they didn't care (or couldn't), my school taught me I was in the wrong place, and my peers taught me that I was scum. And I didn't act on those morals, or I wouldn't be writing this paragraph, nor living, nor breathing. Of course, this didn't last forever. I recovered, and I learned how to deal with people. But what you just said, that I...I was defective for not leaving a place that obviously didn't welcome me, the implication that I should have crossed hades, that's worse than telling me to "go die", because you said it with moral righteousness.

Now I know you're talking about 14 year olds that spy on girls, and I don't think that's morally right either, but your explanation of why it isn't, it's just...wrong somehow.

Firstof, they're not defective. Don't even say a child is broken. Misunderstood? Maybe. Misled? Maybe. But not broken nor defective nor hopeless. Because when you take a child, filled with expectations and hope, trying to make sense of the things that happen in the world, and you tell them they're broken, you're killing them. Yes, some might recover from it, just as someone shot might survive, but you and I agree that shooting a kid is still a pretty bad thing to do, no matter whether they survive or not, right? So don't do it.

Ok, so after I've vented some of my anger, and proably shared way to personal details with everyone on here, back to business. Society is a pretty bad measuring stick for morals. Define the "average morals" to be the reference point, and Schindler becomes the most amoral man in the third reich. You see how this averaging is a pretty bad idea, right? Ok. Then to the disciplining thing. There's a difference between teaching something to your kids, and threatening them to do something. Teaching leads to moral understanding and a moral code. Threats will only teach that might is right, and the only thing holding together morals is violence. I think this worldview does point towards why religious people often ask atheist why they don't think the world will collapse into anarchy without the concept of a hell. Because hell is violence as the foundation of morals. If you want to affect any of those kids, go out and teach them why it's wrong instead of threatening to hit them if they do it again.

TL;DR: As a past victim of social ostracism, post makes me angry. Average morals are a bad idea. Disciplining kids will lead to obedience from threat, not to morals. Teaching will. So go teach
You're assuming that social-graph recommendations are somehow not gameable. If anything, they're even easier to game than Google search results on current social networks -- there are tons of sites out there that'll offer to "sell" you Likes on Facebook for a page of your choosing.
This is a clever bit of social engineering which really taps into the mentality, not to mention the rhetoric, of open source hackers. I like it!
We had a running joke that Chrome took more cycles and RAM than Far Cry 3. The tragic part was that, it was no joke.

I've got the video playing in the background while I work, scanning for references. The first reference is to his own book, "Cancer as a Metabolic Disease", by Thomas Seyfried, John Wiley & Sons, 2012. Presumably he cites many other studies there, I don't know.

I'm only about 7 minutes in, but I do also see a reference to Arismendi-Morillo "Int J Biochem Cell Biol" 41, 2062-68, 2009.

I'll keep updating here.
You still haven't shown it to be inaccurate. It may simply be that the wealthy elite doesn't care either. That'd certainly be my guess.

To the users, browsers are mostly homogeneous, and choosing one over the other incurs in almost no cost (real or of opportunity). It stands to reason that most people (regardless of class) don't have any incentive to care, and therefore they don't.
Introducing DEFCAD search - An Open-Source Search Engine for 3D Printing
Having dealt a little with company structure legal (we sold our LLC but I wasn't point person on the deal mechanics) and a lot with LLC principal tax issues, I'd be much more comfortable with online legal than with online taxes. There's an advantage to doing your company structure in a cookie-cutter way, so that you look like every other company YC sees. There's no similar advantage for doing taxes that way.

If there's money flowing through your company, get a good accountant. You can either do it now, or in a mad scramble when the IRS puts a lien on your bank account.
That's exactly what it is, a read-it-later list. Browsers don't have a good mechanism for that. Not open tabs, which continually consume memory and CPU resources until you get around to them. And not bookmarks either, which are meant for permanent storage, subject to the clunkiness of navigating a folder structure and explicitly performing every add and delete operation.

So in a sense, One-Tab is indeed a memory saver. Not by really reducing Chrome's memory usage, but by plugging the workflow gap that induces users to use Chrome in a way that consumes enormous amounts of memory. (And the selling tactic sure worked, seeing as there's 200 posts on it here in two hours.)
I'm sorry that you found the post hard to read, I do have a tendency to get there and their and the others mixed up and my writing style is a bit, strange but a lot of people don't seem to mind and get used to it, I am trying to improve with each post.
This happened to me when I did something similar on Gowalla several years ago and I had a very similar experience. It was nice getting the random correspondence from someone I hadn't heard from in years but I was way more embarrassed than anything else.

> I met the love of my life and the mother of my child in college.

And a friend of mine met the love of his life many years ago on a Bart Train. One of many who never met her in College. I guess my point is that sometimes you get lucky, and that place is in College. But the cost of college is high, and you don't know the value of the things you would do if you didn't go to college. Clearly you in particular would have lost the chance to meet the love of your life, but there is no way for somebody to know that looking forward to the choice, rather than back on the experience.
And from experience, I can tell you that most "link building" is the spammy type. On a good day, it'll merely be sending out a ton of "link exchange" request emails (a practice which Google also frowns upon, btw).
Great news. This is a classic and deserves to be more widely read.
Review Of Java The Complete Reference: Eighth Edition
If you add a listener for 'data', or call stream.resume() then it'll start flowing data as it receives it, just like v0.8 and before. The only caveat is that listening for 'end' will not automatically start the flow of data, so you do sometimes have to either call resume() or add a data listener.

In practice, it's rare that you care about the end of the stream, but not about the data coming through it, except in tests.

tl;dr Your existing programs will almost certainly Just Work.
I was looking into this problem lately, the two solutions that come close to what you are describing, from what I found are:

Pinboard already has archiving, Kippt archiving is in beta.

Still, there's room for improvement.

I think you might be missing the point here.

You are right that using RAM is preferable to using disk; however, nobody is talking about disks here.

Using a lot of RAM is bad because it makes you slow: pretty much everything, from paging to hash table lookups, works faster the lesser data there is to process.

Minimizing RAM usage is a very worthwhile goal if you want to be faster.
I sorely miss a "save all open tabs into one bookmark file".

End of the day: save it to your project folder where all other project files live. Later when you work on the project again: double click to reopen all your tabs.

"Bookmark All Tabs" is nearly there, but I also tend to forget about it if I don't see it.
I was going to say this was pretty neat but within 30 seconds of actually using it, it managed to lose a window full of tabs which I'd had open for a couple days and I can't recall what was in it now so a bit frustrated. I collapsed up 3 windows into one tab, then did expand all on all 3 and one of the windows re-opened with only 1 tab.
These organisations can't even get behind the same basic file format for something very common like serving video, partly because of all the open standards vs. patents mess. Unfortunately, that means there's even less chance that they're also going to sort out all the other useful stuff Flash can do as a video engine enough for HTML5 video to be a viable universal replacement any time soon.
Actually, I encounter the problem of mismatched .so versions constantly when running new programs or libraries that are built from source. It would be nice if developers would figure out how to use libtool (and whatever the Windows equivalent is) so that this doesn't become a regular exercise in frustration.
Unfortunately not... but please do let us know (either here or via email) what you'd like to see since that'll help us prioritize!
wtf, the demo doesn't work like it should. When i click in the circles, the slider doesn't change.
Which doesn't matter, because it only has to happen once.

Literally nothing about reducing the population density of an area addresses the horrific practices of the meat industry. They would still be a bad idea if there was exactly 1 next to a town of 1000 people, because that town would still be wiped out by drug-resistant bacteria.

We don't need current meat production practices - they're about corporate profit, not long-term efficiency.
8GB of RAM is about $50 right now. If you have to replace that every $2 years, are you really complaining about the cost of $25 per year on your $1,000 computer system? It's a rounding error.

Chrome, in particular, is generally be used for far more tabs (I have like 30 open right now on a MacBook Air) and increasingly complex web sites every year. It's easy to look at memory usage and complain, but the fact is that our usage and the size of the pages we're loading is also rising rapidly. If you loaded Chrome from two years ago and used it how you work today, you might not find the memory footprint that much better than the current version.
Set up Rails Application on Heroku
I suspect the power penalty of RAM is made up for by the fact that you don't have to hit the hard disk to get that data back (firing up the HDD will suck a lot of juice). It also appears the needs are pretty much tied to the chip, so a 4GB and 8GB module use about the same amount of power.

I think it's good to have it mentioned, regardless. Too many sites claim they "won't turn over information" or claim they don't keep records, only to later say "ok well for LE, yeah", proving they had your data the entire time.

The scary implication of #1 is that it updates our probability for long-term survival and becoming a technologically advanced, space-faring species: by _lowering_ it. That's because it pushes the potential Great Filter [1] closer to our present condition and increasing the odds that it's actually somewhere in our future.

If a doctor didn't follow proper procedures and ended up spreading MSRA to your mother, then in effect that was negligent homicide. I think this happens all the time. I've seen it happen myself, where a doctor touches an open wound without having washed his hands first.

But how often are doctors prosecuted for this kind of negligence? Something is very wrong with our medical system and it's worse than MSRA.

Behance looks good. Thanks for the tip!

I'd rather avoid generic contracting/freelance sites, as I feel like the quality would be "all over the map" as you say.

I'd prefer looking for artist communities, especially if they have forums that talk about iOS/Android game art.
The pace at which libraries have come up around Node is astounding. Mostly probably the fastest growing eco-system ever.
Thank you all for your explanations, but this was exactly what I meant.
How do you suggest to handle the fact that there are many websites which break the "back" button these days? I've gotten to the point where I open a new tab practically every time I follow a link. Not to mention news sites where you need to open all of the interesting articles that you see before the page updates and they go away.
Well, if you have 100 tabs open, you might be using the wrong browser. Chrome is obviously not designed to work with that many tabs, either from a UI standpoint or, apparently, a memory use standpoint.

However, I don't really see why there needs to be a strict limit on the number of tabs you can have open before your browser starts trashing all your memory. This is a problem that can be solved by designing your software to deal with that use scenario, either by pausing unused pages and serializing the resources to disk or by disposing of the unused pages entirely without removing the tabs. You'd want a pref for this, but it seems entirely reasonable to me.
They can help give a slight leaning but I agree that experience definitely helps.

I knew working with customers was important but it wasn't until going through the experience myself that I realized just HOW important it really is. Reading these articles after the fact, help to solidify what I've learned and how I should approach my next startup/business.
Can you point to any instances of the same person holding both positions?

People commenting here are allowed to disagree with each other, you know, and not everyone comments on every link.
Agreed. Original article is a dismissal of the amount of research and consideration that goes into UX.
Does it only store the GET information or will it store a POST search request as well?
Working on a problem doesn't always lead you to a solution, for god sake. I can't believe that people like the author working on stupid start-ups compare themselves to artists or genious scientists. Extremely difficult problems require your brain to click a certain way to understand how to solve them. That click is the inspiration. Of course it exists. You need that stuff to excel at playing chess or at being a succesful theoretical mathematician. Startups? No they don't require much inspiration...
Agreed. As an interviewer, I'm constantly disappointed with the skills of CS grads. Many years in industry show me that if there is anything to be learned about programming in college, it in a field other than CS.

Now, that's not strictly true, but the fact that we've accepted more non-CS grads, or non-grads than CS grads I think says something about the state of our CS education.

No.

StrongLoop employs 2 node core committers, Ben Noordhuis and Bert Belder, who are also two of the most active libuv committers. (They have other folks that work there, of course, but those two also work on Node itself quite a lot.)

Joyent still is the custodian and IP owner of the Node.js project. They pay me to work on node, and also provide the project with marketing, legal, hosting, and other resources. Joyent also uses Node extensively in their technology stack, and builds tools to debug their own and their customers' production Node applications.

StrongLoop will be providing support to users of their Node Distro, which bundles v0.10 with a few battle-tested npm modules.

Joyent and StrongLoop are very different companies, and while they're not officially partners, that I'm aware of, they are certainly not competitors in any sense.
Yeah! Allowing Chinese censors to triple their productivity!
Thanks. I have a need for only two profiles and I have gotten used to of launching the primary profile and then secondary through it. I always close the secondary first and primary second so I guess I am okay without the icon for now.

There are compromises here and there between Firefox and Chrome. I am actually surprised to see that IE10 hasn't caught up with multiple profiles and/or even a sync. The best IE10 can do is give you private browsing (which you can potentially use to have a second profile, but it is not that convenient like Chrome).
Which (hiding) would work great for one type of bad guy you apparently see a lot of on TV - the drugged out guys who picked a random house and wants $50. If this guy robs you he'll stop to pick up your shoes (to sell for drugs) so you can drop anything and run to safety. If the bad guy who broke into your house showed up on your security cameras' view with a "Type 1 Grunt - Snatcher" label you might even be safe to assume he would act this way.

But that's not realistic so you have to figure out who he is and what he wants from his actions starting with the 2am kicking down of your door. Guess wrong and he might be a drugged out rapist instead.

Really, if he's not yelling 'Fireman!' (And didn't arrive in a special truck) he's not kicking down your door to help. Some of the things that may be done to you may only (mostly) involve your things, or only hurt you not kill you, and people can give you a big song and dance about laws and morality - but don't YOU want to choose prison over death for yourself, if those really are your only two options?

I'm with you, partly. No need to fight this guy to be a hero. For your additional safety, hide in bathtub, sound a siren, and get help - while holding the shotgun you will use to kill him and his accomplices if they try to open your hiding spot before help arrives.

Most fish are evolved from land-dwelling animals

I wanted to check your source for this proposition, because after I upvoted your comment on other grounds, I wasn't completely sure that this squares with what I have read about evolution.

For example, this link

http://dinosaurs.about.com/od/otherprehistoriclife/a/prehist...

is to the contrary, suggesting that most fish living today had ancestors that were aquatic.

AFTER EDIT: To acknowledge your kind reply, I wondered if that was what you were getting at. To me, "land dwelling" implies, among other key behaviors, breeding and laying eggs on land. By contrast, "air breathing" would be a term unambiguous for what you meant, and still surprising to most readers.
If I understand the analogy correctly, I want a team manager who says around for the season making sure that one pitcher does not have to work every inning of every game. One who puts a good team together and sees it through to success. One who it part of the team.
