This sounds extremely interesting. As an open source enthusiast I am impressed by the open source development methodologies. As a scientist (about to finish my PhD), I am surprised to see a chronic lack of openness, reproducibility, and transparency in my field (aerospace / wind energy engineering). I feel the new generation of scientists is becoming more aware of the shortcomings of the current closed access, closed source scientific research approach, and I would really like to raise awareness in my institute. Seeing how others are doing this is a great help! So Fenrando, apart for the obvious thumbs up for IPython, also thank you for sharing the slides on "Reproducible software vs. reproducible research"

No, I get that. As I said, several times. I get that Google does that. But I don't understand why Google makes it only work that way. I need to be able to have it work the way all other office suites work because I want to be able to open it in them without exporting.

It can be an option off in the periphery. The interface can politely warn me with a little pop-out at the edge that I can't use collaboration features if I enable the "works like all other office suites" function for a document. Call it compatibility mode. Word's web application does this if I edit an ODT in it. LibreOffice does this if I edit a .docx in it. I don't mind.

edit: I just noticed your bio. Maybe you can have someone from the Docs team come over and look at this? They might understand what I'm saying.
The planet money podcast recently talked about this. One of the reasons:

If you're "poor" and you spend 90% of your income on goods, you're getting taxed on 90% of your income.

If you're "rich", you spend 10% of your income on goods and just put the rest in other investments. This means that only 10% of your income gets taxed.

Skip it and go with uWSGI ;) Emperor mode is fantastic.

Say you have /srv/mysite/uwsgi.ini and /srv/myothersite/uwsgi.ini (uwsgi config files for two different sites) you can run uwsgi --emperor /srv/*/uwsgi.ini and bam, it'll launch processes for all your sites.

Magento is very very very heavyweight. We've had the best success with running it behind varnish, via the varnish plugin.

Other minor wins involve using memcached for caching, and applying the tweaks you mention.
Are public spaces really that unsafe though? Or, at least, less safe than they have been in the past? Honest question.

I've read a bunch of articles (that I cannot look up right now) that argue that this decrease in safety is mostly perception, and I'm inclined to agree.

I grew up in the 'ghetto' of my hometown, and then from 8 tot 17 I lived in what was considered a dangerous, third-world country. Still, my parents mostly raised me as any kid in earlier times: be home before dark, don't go too far, but do whatever you want the rest of the time outside of school.

By and large, my experience has not been too different from other kids I know in safer environments, and I've had few 'scary' experiences involving other people. Most 'dangers' involved general kids-being-stupid things: crossing streets without looking, or climbing things at the risk of falling down on the pavement head-first, egging each other on to do something stupid, etc.

My point is, I can't really see the danger, and would like to know what you consider 'lacking'. Kidnapping is rare, sexual harassment is vastly more common in family circles, playgrounds have mostly become safer (and less fun, IMO), and violence of any kind by adults to children is (I think) relatively uncommon too. Even in dangerous areas.

Of course, I am no parent. And I admit I present no actual supporting evidence (right now) other than my own experience. But I'm not really trying to prove something, just interested in your take on this. Maybe I'm missing something important that I would be aware of with some context, or with the experience of being a parent
Have you started a company from absolute scratch? It's gut wrenching, you work like hell and lose hard earned money every month. Unless of course you're well connected and can get funding from day one.

I can absolutely see how a perpetual 340 EUR per month can tip the scale in favor of default: keep working the confy job.

Does it matter once you're up an running? No, you're right it doesn't.

I am not familiar with the Spanish tax system, but can't you simply register a Ltd in the UK? EU law says that you are free to incorporate your company where ever you want (in the EU). Or what is this 340€ /month about?

Germany saw the problem of many people incorporating in the UK a few years ago and introduced a limited liability company with starting at (theoretically) 1€ capital, called UG. Previously the GmbH required 25.000€.

Wiki tells me the needed capital for a Spanisch S.L. is 3006€, not that much. But I can't find the 340€? What is it about.

I don't know of anyone who's condoning what they did but:

1) Anonymous is relatively inconsistent ... you can't count on them seeing the bat signal and arriving five minutes every time you need them (maybe they try and fail with some targets)? So even if you could point them at every injustice, would they show up?

2) We don't condone vigilantism for a reason. Everything you read was filtered through the court of public opinion and Anonymous wasn't (as far as I know) privy to any of the underlying discussions.

3) The processes that led to the two firings happen every day in corporate America. We don't need Anonymous for business to continue. And there are very defined labor laws to remedy incorrect business practices.

So while I appreciate that Anonymous will in some cases fight for things I agree with, they're far too erratic to trust. Funny that I feel the same way about my government!
I think the lesson we should all reflect on here is that when designing very critical systems one should not try to be too clever or optimize to the point of the correct working of the whole system being dependent on a single assumption.

Old-school engineering used to have the concept of a safety factor, where you used a material twice as strong as the one that your equations have shown to be strong enough to sustain the conditions you expect it to operate under. Richard Hamming also put this very nicely: "Would you fly a plane if you knew it depended on some function being Lebesgue-integrable?".

Was the scenario that something unwanted might get synced one day really that improbable or so unobvious nobody considered it? Hard to say in retrospect, but I would say no. Anyway, this might happen to every one of us, so I will use the time to reflect on the systems _I_ built and whatever assumptions _I_ could have done mistakingly.
There's a huge difference though: if you fold you get to keep the share capital, and if you don't you get to use it for company expenses.
We don't allow force-pushes without admin involvement, so rebasing isn't so scary for us, but we do cover it that way. And we got the undo operation down to a command on the infra: http://community.kde.org/Sysadmin/GitKdeOrgManual#ohnoes

The rest of that Wiki page is also pretty interesting for a general look at what devs can do on git.kde.org - server-side personal clones, personal repositories, a personal trashcan for repositories, etc. We don't have a pretty web interface for it (yet?), but it has some nice features.

Left crazy CA years ago, when the kids were born. Big city life is not for families. My kids grew up on 80 acres with a shop, gocart, 100's of trees to climb, an old barn, and dozens of hobbies. Their friends flocked to our place after school and weekends. The closets and shed are crowded with old projects, picces of trebuchets, model rockets, parts of suits of armor, portable forts made of plywood for airsoft wars, even a 7-foot 'siege cow' made of PVC, foam, a pillow and a rubber glove (the udder).

And this place cost very little compared to the insanity of CA real estate. In fact we bought it from the appreciation on a house in downtown San Jose we 'owned' during our four-year hallucination after graduate school, working at startup companies.

I recommend no-one who desires a life and family ever consider moving to CA.
Six Marketing lessons for Startups from ” Silver Linings Playbook “
As much as I'd love to see something useful coming out of the european commision, I don't really see it. The EU (and its bureaucrats) have been proven absolutely useless or even dangerous when it comes to Internet related issues, I can not see them fixing web-entrepreneurship in Europe.
The problem is not the energy ... but the weight you need to lift to get that energy airborne. We don't send astronauts in paper aircraft although they are light - we put layer. There are some things that you need - you need them and you get them. If you need 3 x everything = you put them in. It is you engineering duty to make them best, lightest, coolest etc ... but you cannot cut corners.

If it was up to me though I would just create some of the external parts of the vehicle as a thermocouple and use the fact that one sight is frying on the syn briefly and the other is exposed into the almost absolute zero. That should create some juice. But I suppose there are good reasons they don't do it.
Missing a link to create account here
I read HN for about 2yrs. Until now, I did not know that anyone could create account on Hacker News! There's just a login button, so I thought this is just for people who participated in YCombinator. I suggest adding standard "Register" link before the "Login" one.

On the other hand, this is a good filter that let's only smart people to get in :-)

For everything with a sha1 hash, I see where you're coming from. And most of the data in a repo is covered by them. But things like tags, branches and reflogs don't themselves have hashes, they are just metadata referencing content in the append-only store. It sounds like they were backing up their reflogs, which is great, so they could recover if a user, say, accidentally deleted all the branches off the central server.
Nvidia  GRID Visual Computing Appliance Launched For Windows, Linux or Mac
While I'm sure Samsung would love to replace Android with Tizen, I doubt they will actually be able to do it. While Apple and Google make it appear easy to create an OS that users enjoy using, the reality is that it is incredibly difficult.

Just look at Windows Phone - I'm fairly sure that Microsoft is more able to create a technically superior OS to Samsung, and I think the amount of money Microsoft has poured into Windows Phone advertising shows the amount of marketing talent that is likely being used. Yet Windows Phone is a dismal failure even with Nokia's huge manufacturing bulk behind it. The only sensible conclusion I can come to is that making a desirable mobile OS is far more difficult than it appears, and that there are numerous 'below the water line' effects that make a mobile OS popular.

I very much doubt that Samsung is going to be able to transition the bulk of their Android users to Tizen. I also believe attempting it will be a mistake with both HTC and Sony having very strong challengers to the S4 this year. Any deficiency in the S4 to try and swing customers to Tizen will just mean an erosion of market share as consumers move to HTC/Sony/ZTE etc.

I expect Tizen to get decent traction in China, India and SE Asia in the lower-price tiers, but I can't see it unseating Android in any shape or form.
That's an interesting manner of averaging. The end result is an exponential filter, but he displays the results online. It is fun to draw lines with high frequency components (wiggles) and watch them straighten out over half a second or so. It is aesthetically quite pleasing!
I for one welcome this move. It seems Tizen somewhat follows Maemo's way. Let's hope Samsung is not going to stuff it with loads of bloatware. I wish as well the ecosystem is more like Firefox OS's than iOS's in terms of openness -- I don't know what to think about current Samsung moves regarding Android.
Sounds interesting!
Would love some more details.

That has Amazon's massive content library as a draw, though. Samsung does have an app store, but since their Android phones come with Google Play, I don't know how well populated their own is.
talking about bloatware, I can't understand the urge to put a bunch of apps like 'S Health' pre-installed on S4.

Another gem http://37signals.com/svn/posts/3084-watching-apple-win-the-w...
I agree. I think Google Play, more so it's mass of Android apps, is a big-ish draw for people. Although really it's only a handful of apps "real" people actually care about (Think Gmail, Twitter, Angry Birds etc...). However from a Google point of view, Samsung has a bit too much power for their liking... I see Google with Motorola, moving even more so into hardware and pushing their "pure" Android Nexus brand more and more. They've piggy backed on Samsung's Android marketing for a while and it's been good for both. But now they're too much of a threat to Android, like the article, potentially moving to a different OS that could further fragment the market.

I think mainly Samsung will wait a see how Windows Phone goes, to see if they change OS. Maybe even launch a Tizen or whatever OS phone to test the water before jumping the Android ship...

> Why does Chicago do so poorly? It doesn't take a genius to figure out that it has nothing to do with money or school quality, but the fact that 86% of Chicago's students come from low-income families, and 87% are disadvantaged ethnic minorities

The way these "disadvantaged ethnic minorities" (ie. "black people") behave might also have something to do with it.

On a more technical aspect: does anyone knows whether the HTML5 apis tizen offer will be fast enough to cover all the needs for "nativ" apps ? I was building a HTML5 phonegap app very recently on a samsung galaxy Tab 2 and couldn't help notice how sluggish the overall feeling was, even for extremely basic UI animations (had to switch to 3D CSS transformations to make sure 3D hardware was used).
If I understood correctly, Tizen will use HTML5 for pretty much anything. So i'm a bit scared of the performances..
The point of the article is that boredom spurs stuff like this guy mentioning, it is you that missed the point.
It's slightly sad when science journalism relies on "an expert says", without feeling the need to reference any data.
Sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear. I'm only arguing that in the UK, although the cost of forming a limited company is relatively low, the other, ongoing overheads of operating such a company are much higher, and therefore represent the greater deterrent to potential entrepreneurs. This position seems consistent with criticising the €340/month charged elsewhere that you and qnk have mentioned.
Why or why not Dart?
In my field (chemistry) plenty of people utterly loathe high-impact factor journal papers. They do something that looks impressive, but are a useless source of detail on _how_ it was actually accomplished, since more often then not they omit - not intentionally really - something which turns out to be very important to the process.

Several simpler papers not trying to be as dramatic are going to be far more insightful since you get the descriptions of what was found _not_ to work about the method they were trying to replicate. Weaker papers - to me - are gold, since they're what you publish when you were trying to copy something and it just doesn't work as well as is being claimed.
Yes, the real rule here is 'breaking the rules for a landing page. The author hasn't noted that his site is a one page site. I suspect that when he adds any extra pages the logo will appear back at the top again.
Actually, I'd argue that a number of designers know that landing pages are not standard site pages. I certainly always design a content page to figure out the general structure and expect landing pages—particularly the home page—to potentially break these rules as their goals are different (by the time you end up on a content page, you are usually looking for specific information).

Smooth. :/

To be fair, I'm sure they're working on the UI, but UI is something that's hard to get right. It took android what, 4 years to reach a point where it's actually nice to use.

...and you think maybe consumers are just stupid and won't be able to tell the difference between a smooth responsive and well designed UI and a rubbish new UI (as all new UIs are, to start with)?

yeah...

Owning a Samsung 'Smart TV' that, as soon as it is connected to the internet, forcefully downloads the worst crapware I've seen in my life with no option to hide or remove that stuff (according to research online and customer service) I'm convinced that I do not want a Samsung controlled device again and don't share your high hopes, even if we're talking about totally disconnected branches of a huge company.

What I find interesting is the possibilities of this manufacturing process really expanding and changing other industries. Is it really worth the environmental cost to ship a product half way around the world, to save a few pence? Why not just make it locally, if we can, even if it costs a tiny a bit more. I see a big shift going forward, hopefully...

As they say: It's easier to mail the recipe, than a cake.
That's exactly the argument that was had in the Western world starting with the '70s inflation "crisis", and this was indeed the conclusion people came to: radical inequality is an acceptable price to pay for low inflation. And now we're suffering the consequences of having an overly deflationary labor market.
you've figured that out based on a simple hello world, right?
Well, true. Let's change that to "most". :-)

I wonder if people treat comments a bit like search results? They will read the first one or two pages and stop after that (assuming the comments are paginated). If comments are posted in chronological order (oldest first), then you get the "click bias" that other people mention. Interesting comments that fall further down the discussion thread get buried because few people browse that far.

Also, if you have threaded discussions, a good post in response to another comment may need the other post(s) to provide context, so will simply highlighting that indivdual post make sense without the others?
Flask is awesome, great job!
I have Windows Phone 7.5 that I love. But my next phone will be Android.

Yes, Windows Phone rocks, but they don't have the apps iOS and Android have. And while I can certainly browse sites directly (preference anyway), web developers forget about it during testing. Not that I blame them, since being one myself I know it's still a niche group.

If their OS can run Android apps ... they're already ahead of MS.
I reached a different conclusion from Windows Phone's failure; that being good isn't necessarily enough. Momentum matters a whole lot.

Which, to me, makes Tizen a bit of a mystery. If Android has the momentum Tizen will fail, but if Samsung has it Tizen might just have a chance.
