Hey, good job on the t-shirt! I like the color, and the design, and I think that proceeds going to watsi is AWESOME!

I would recognize this for the colors and shape.

That works if you haven't set a new topcolor. (Actually, even for people who have set a custom topcolor, many HN pages still display the default topcolor, so the point in the parent post is correct.)
One other thing worth noting: consider whether you might actually be bipolar, especially if antidepressants aren't really working for you or make you worse. A lot of Bipolar II cases (where manic states aren't as dramatic and depressive symptoms dominate) are misdiagnosed as unipolar depression.

Oh man I remember that! I should get one of those shirts :)
I interpret this more as saying that it is ok if there is a barrier to entry. If it takes you six months of programming Clojure before you can easily read idiomatic code written by other people for example - maybe he's ok with that.
> Immutable data structures are always going to be slower than their mutable cousins.

Not always. It depends on usage. Mutable data structures can actually entail more work if the data needs to be accessed from more than one place. Immutable data structures can be shared and reused much more freely. (For example, adding an item to an array you got from somebody else means either the caller or the callee needs to have copied the whole array, while adding an item to an immutable list you got from somebody else means creating a single cons cell.)

At any rate, even if a destructive solution would be faster, the functional solution will probably still be faster in Clojure than the destructive solution would be in Ruby. And if not, you can still do something destructive — it's just not the default.

> "Clojure code is beautiful" should be changed to "Your OWN Clojure code is beautiful". When I finished writing a compact piece of logic or data transformation, I was often struck with the beauty of it. When I tried to read someone ELSE's Clojure code, however, I couldn't even begin to make sense of it.

I believe this is largely a matter of experience (not completely — some code just is hard to read!). Most people get that feeling when they're working with a relatively unfamiliar language. I find that the more familiar I become with Clojure, the better all other Clojure programmers seem to become.
I'm sure after people see this it'll be voted into the stratosphere.

I have tested with Firefox (latest version) on Windows XP and 7, and I think we can conclude the problem comes from Windows XP, as it shows the same thing as you, whereas it gives a whole big stack on Windows 7.
I don't understand your point, perhaps I'm missing the joke.

The web is full of services that track users. UK government sites are already using Google Analytics[1] and thus sending data about users to companies in foreign countries so they can track them.

1. For broad consumer uptake, authentication methods better than a password, or indeed classical 2-factor authentication, needs to be "fire-and-forget". That is, users set it up at most once and then it works almost transparently in most situations. This necessitates broad (read, universal) device-to-device connection.

2. There's no universal method for connecting a mobile phone to another device.

3. Besides, what if you require authentication without a password, on a mobile?

4. The closest to a universal method for interdevice connection is USB. Most importantly, a browsing-capable device almost certainly has a USB interface.

Hence, efforts like Yubikey.
" the implicit contract it entered with its early users is null and void."

Does an API without a binding contractual agreement really imply future applicability? It's always a big risk to lean on another company's API for your product / business.
Both in your reply and in the original article, I wish there had been more attention paid to the value of talk therapy in some cases. While it may be true that for some depression originates as a chemical imbalance in the brain, I think for many or even most, it originates from psychological pain.

Therapy can and does routinely help provide lasting help with depression. I don't know what "beating it" means but some people can definitely become free of the symptoms of major depression without taking any medication or exercising or any of the other things listed by discovering the sources of their feelings and confronting them with the help of a therapist.
O'Reilly lost to Manning as the top dog in the computer book business some years ago.

It started sometimes around when they published numbers of books sold by technology, confusing the market of technologies with their offer and not realizing that their sales numbers had nothing to do with the popularity of those technologies but with the uninteresting books they published in some fields.

Lesson learnt from Twitter competition with no terms and condition in the tweet
I am just venting here as I was informed I won a $600 mobile phone in a twitter competition just to get told when I sent my non US delivery address details that I don't qualify because I don't reside in the US.

What irks me is that Twitter is popular for competitions but companies often forget to put a terms and conditions link in the 140 character post limit as happened in my case.
Twitter has guidelines for competitions but even this doesn't specify that links to terms and conditions is recommended.
Even the twitter bio that posted the comp is a large company with offices in my country and states in the twitter bio "Worldwide" not US only so there is no reasonable way for me to have foreseen I would not qualify. If I did I could at least have given someone in the US a free phone after finding out I won.

So just a reminder to non US residents responding to twitter competitions. Even if it is an international company posting a competition on twitter using their "worldwide" account for an international trade show without disclaiming US only or posting terms it does not necessarily mean international visitors qualify.

The competition I won but then found out I don't qualify was named Qualcomm “Born Mobile” MWC 2013 Twitter Sweepstakes.
It somehow just make me feel a little better posting about it here when I know twitters 140 character limit cost me a $600 dollar phone.
Now that's a minimum viable product. Great execution and focus. You should double the price though - you would get twice the number of orders.

Some core concepts of upstart and systemd are incompatible. Even if they patched upstart instead of starting from scratch it would now be a completely different system.

In his initial blog post about systemd, Lennart Poettering writes: "Well, the point of the part about Upstart above was to show that the core design of Upstart is flawed, in our opinion. Starting completely from scratch suggests itself if the existing solution appears flawed in its core. However, note that we took a lot of inspiration from Upstart's code-base otherwise."

Unlike the Mir specs, this post is really detailed. Upstart is certainly an improvement on sysvinit, but falls short compared to more modern init systems like Apple's launchd.
T-shirt with a color of the background only (#F6F6EF) with an orange strip? Minimalistic-ier.
I was on Tmo's pre-paid plans for years. You can't beat their price. Their coverage left something to be desired though. If you're in city (for me, Chicago and later Phoenix), it works great. Once you leave that city though (ie, 15 minutes outside of Phoenix), you have no coverage. And of course, if you have an iPhone (or any AT&T phone), you're only going to get EDGE speeds.

More recently, I switched to Straight Talk. $45/mo (plus tax), unlimited everything (warning unofficial 2GB data cap). They are an AT&T MVNO, so you get the same network at a reduced cost. Now when I leave the city, I still have coverage, and it's usually very good anywhere I go. The only catch is that you don't get 4G coverage, which if you're on an iPhone, doesn't matter.

Of note, if you are on an iPhone, it will still activate on Straight Talk without any hassle. Setting the proper carrier settings for data and sms is another story though, and requires either jailbreaking or doing a swap trick with a Tmo SIM (you can get a pre-paid SIM for $4 though).
I did a quick [1] google around some of the most popular programming languages to see if their stdlibs had binary search:

Python: No
Perl: No
PHP: No
Lua: No
Java: Yes
.NET: Yes
Objective-C: Yes

Of course your point then becomes "Why haven't Ruby, Python, Perl, PHP and Lua added binary search".

[1] So it may be wrong. Please correct me if I am.

I could be wrong, but I don't think the git/mercurial integration is the big point of Kiln.

Rather, harmony seems like an interesting side effect generated when Fog Creek built some swank tools for mercurial-based corporate developers, and git won the war while they were doing so.

Most of the value I see in Kiln is in the activity filters, the notifications, the code review tools, the ACLs, and FogBugz integration. Git/Mercurial interoperability is just a cute feature.
The way I do it:

rsync -rv ~/Music phone_ip:/

All nice and wireless
One nit in the article:

As someone who has breathed Clojure for the past three years, I very rarely come across code that is truly difficult to understand. It does tend to be more information-dense than other languages (especially Java) but that just means I only have to understand a couple hundred lines split into 3 files instead of thousands of lines across dozens of files.

That said, there is definitely some nasty Clojure code out there, but I'm not sure that's avoidable in any language. Fortunately, the conventional wisdom to only use macros when necessary has started to catch on and that's made the situation a good deal better.
That's not bad per-se IMHO, after all still HN even with the "ghost news" appearing and all the rest is a decent place.

What is a big issue IMHO is that, given it's starting to be obvious how important is to have a completely neutral HN-style news site for hackers world-wide, nobody tried to do a serious no-profit to create a replacement that is able to guarantee a more democratic and not interested management.

So YC does a good job at taking HN not too business-driven, but still HN community does a very poor job at trying to start something completely not-business-related.

Meteor is just another framework for delivering thick client apps in js which cannot be part of the World-Wide Web, because it doesn't ship semantically described data at a stable URL which can be rendered and repurposed in unanticipated ways. Try

and you'll see a DOM with literally no content beyond "Loading...", completely broken unless you trust their code and want the only rendering it supports.
There are two aspects to this. One one hand, you're right that there's only so much racist vitriol that gets upvoted on reddit; and some amount of dark "humor" (have you read /r/imgoingtohellforthis? half the jokes are lolnigger). I got sidetracked in my comment, and meant to mention the sort of inevitable decay in this sense. People want to participate, so find stuff that isn't as applicable. The circlejerky nature of reddit means that this stuff gets upvotes and content starts to degrade.

On the other hand, you can pretty easily demonstrate that jokes of this nature have actual serious harm. I recall a study that interviewed rapists about what they did; a substantial portion of them thought that rape was something that everyone did, and they just had the misfortune of getting caught. Those dark jokes reinforce that idea, when you awkwardly laugh at (or upvote) the guy who says "What's the difference between a large pizza and a black man?", you're reinforcing his (potential) belief that people really believe the racist nonsense. You can see similar trends in violence, where the effect is more measurable. Suicides and suicidal ideation increase substantially in media markets that cover a recent suicide (or spate thereof) [0]. So in a real sense these "innocent edgy" jokes have a real harm.

The Mercurial support is very welcome for those of us who found it a battle getting our employers to switch from SVN to Mercurial and don't want to go through that again. Unlike the transition from SVN to a DVCS, a transition from Mercurial to Git would not really be of any great advantage. And our code is not open source so it doesn't make much sense switching just because in the wider world Mercurial is out of fashion.

The main issue is that Clojure happens to be more enterprise friendly than traditional Lisps.

It is easier to give a jar to the devops team, than trying to convince them to add support for yet another language the crazy developers are now trying to use.
I don't seen an overwhelming amount of negativity here at all. Only couple of posts near the top respectfully commenting on the design. The reaction here seems to be positive across the board.
This is the kernel of every publisher's pitch to every first-time author. But tech publishers run so many books every year by so many random people that their curation value is dubious at best, and certainly not worth the enormous cost of working with them. And, as most of the stories about working first with a publisher and then independently have testified, there's no media attention or promotional value a publisher gets you that you can't build for yourself at a lower cost.
There was an article profiling the author of Wool posted here (possibly!) recently. He turned to self-publishing on Amazon and sold on a cost, then had the leverage to say to publishers he was keeping the digital rights and no argument as they were worth significantly more than the print rights. I think publishers as time goes on will become more tuned to that and stop offering any form of contract that doesn't grant them digital exclusive rights as well.

Looks like traditional publishers are going to end up doing more for self-publishing than anyone else.

As of last night's https switch, old comment threads all 404
I've been fighting depression since one year ago and I'd like to share my story with you guys and hope to get some warming advices. Quick introduction: I've always been a self-educated about computer science, but my mother always wanted to see me studying in a _regular/acknowledged_ way. When I turned 25, I started feeling very bad: my career in information technology was going really good and since I didn't passed through the academical stages (exams, graduation, etc) I felt like I didn't really deserve such professional "glory" (sorry for quick and dirt english).

So I decided to join the university: I started passing exams, and finally I could go to bed with a clear conscience!
One year ago I received a job offer from a big enterprise, a job that could have change my life. This job (9h/5d) would not allow me to continue my university career and they gave me one week to decide. It was really hard, and in the end I refused that job.

My odyssey begins from this point. I had a panic attack on the first day of university after my choice, a huge panic attack that I thought: "I'm gonna die". After that event, my condition degenerated: I was no longer able to go out from my house, neither going downstairs to feed the dog. Everytime I went outside, I had a panic attack, it was a nightmare. Because of this hard form of agoraphobia I was neither able to go out and see a psychiatrist. I also developed tinnitus in my left ear and a painful hypochondria.

It took about 4/5 months before I realized the actual cause of my depression: in this age of economical crisis, when people commits suicides for not being able to pay debts, I rejected a permanent full-time contract. After this realization, my condition started going slightly better: I had no more panic attacks and I was able to go out with my gf and my friends.

At the time of this writing, one year after my first crisis, I'm still not able to go to places with many people, ot taking a train, or staying away from home for too long.

I see that such a condition is common to many computer programmers, I think that alienation caused by working on computers make things worse. At some point, I also considered the option of giving up with computer science, but it's not possible, it's really the only thing I can do.

I'm still fighting depression, I'm still not able to answer the questions "where would you be now to be happy?" , "what would you be doing now to be happy?". It's really sad when you can't answers these questions. Is it ever happened to you? How did you behave?
Funny. I'd say she has a reputation for not backing down from controversial topics in the face of continuous harassment.
Does that sort of thing bug you on some level Paul?

I always had you mentally as pretty stoically philosophically detached from that sort of thing. But I've seen a couple of your comments where you seem genuinely bothered when people are catty or mean to others you care about. Would love to hear your take on how you mentally approach that sort of thing in general.
