Interesting idea! It would be neat if one were able to select a filter that's already been used (off an editor's pick or an image in the gallery) and apply that particular filter on their image of choice as well. Crowd-sourced selection of the best filters might produce nifty results.
FTR, that should be Versly / versly.com down there towards the bottom.
You should leave. But give them time to find a replacement or mend their ways. Moreover you would not want to put the entire blame of a failed(lets hope not) product on you. Also leave only if that is the last resort. Working in startups is a great leaning experience, especially for developers. You being the some developer must be taking care of everything from ideation to execution and deployment. Very few people get to do that. But if you are unhappy with the work, the people are not nice and the product is dodgy its better to call it quits. Its not cowardice, its practical. This is not adding any value to you or them
Every designer I've known falls into one of two camps: they either have an incredibly detailed folder hierarchy or else they store every file they've ever created or downloaded on the desktop.
This seems like a great founder/product fit. She's hip/cool/fashionable and knows her product and demo pretty well.

I really like the fact that stuck through the grind, and slowly built up a loyal following. I think that is something missing from a lot of start-ups in the valley right now. People tend to shut down their projects when people don't come flocking. This also might be a testament to just building something people want.
while() loops are really syntax sugar for goto too. And whole C is arguably just a syntax sugar for assembler :) That's why we use it.
That's correct. I'm not advocating a tree-based file system. I'm advocating a shared file system. If that system improves on the tree, I'm all for it.

Agreed, this would make this way cooler. Maybe someone could turn this into a web app where people vote on the best filters, and you can either make a random filter or choose from a selection of highly-voted filters. Could be very interesting.

edit: I see that this is already a webapp, but the additional functionality I described would still be cool.
I haven't used SRS for js specifically, but I've been using it lately to cement certain Ruby concepts. Best advice I can give is that it's totally worth it, but don't take shortcuts when authoring cards. Take the time to separate concepts into bite-sized, more simple (Rich Hickey simple, not "easy" simple) concepts, and write questions that elicit that knowledge.

Also, Anki is free for both desktop (every OS) and Android.
I mean, after YC, the second best startup accelerator, by the "if I didn't get into YC, which accelerator would I consider" metric. (SendGrid still tips the scales for historical performance in favor of TechStars, I guess)
you can tell someone's orientation towards hierachical file systems by how they normally put their files right now.

I observed two different distinct species - one will just dump everything into the desktop (or the My Documents) folder. The other will place all of their files in subdirectories, or sub-sub directories, in a very organized manner. If you look at their real life organization techniques, it would very likely be the same.

> Up until recently, it has been considered sacrosanct that deposit holders be protected, no matter the cost.

This is simply not true. Usually bank deposits are insured by the central bank or another such agency, but there's a limit (e.g. $100k per account).

> The convention and social contract has been that you deposit money for safe-keeping in a bank.

There's indeed a social contract of sorts, but since the most of the world converted to fractional-reserve banking, banks are not pure deposit banks anymore.

In fact there have been many bank runs around the world, even in the US.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bank_runs

It's well-known that individuals who own more cash than the insured limit should spread it over several bank accounts. Of course, that is moot when the government simply confiscates your money.

"If you're ready for a build server so pretty you could take it to the prom.."

The issue I have with this tweet is that it implies one would not take ugly people, regardless of gender, to prom and comes off as shallow. I also don't think it's a stretch to come to this conclusion as any other generally excepted positive attribute could have been substituted for "pretty" such as "awesome", "fun", etc which wouldn't have the same implications. No, I wouldn't take someone un-fun to prom, just like I wouldn't use an un-fun build server (or at least I wouldn't buy one).

Is there some context or interpretation I'm missing that implies otherwise?

Interesting, PostgreSQL works just like you said.

However MySQL doesn't. I've just tried it, and MySQL blocks the UPDATE until the first transaction (DELETE, INSERT) is finished (like PostgreSQL), but after the commit, the UPDATE statement updates the newly inserted row.

It seems MySQL firstly searches the table for the row and then attempts to acquire a lock on it (thus waits for the DELETE, INSERT to finish, as it's locked the row being DELETEd), and, after the lock has been acquired, searches the table again for rows matching the query in order to perform it.

I'm surprised to read Nasty Gal being seen as a fad - what indicators of stability are stronger than 6 years of consistent growth? Don't fashion fads have a single season 6 month life expectancy?
Some in the Christian Charismatic movement also do "soaking in God's presence," which is probably in the passive contemplation: listen to music that draws your heart to give yourself to God.

maybe. My partner has experience with that sort of thing, so yeah, that's an idea for a kickstarter or something. It would be awesome publicity for the sorts of people I like to sell to.

But from what I'm told, it's a fairly simple soldering job to put a serial port on a regular pi.

Personally, I'd want to add more ram if I'm going to bother with a whole goddamn board spin, and maybe remove the video hardware, but then, I don't know how involved that would be, and meh, I have a tonne of other work she could be doing now that she's working here that would probably provide a better return, and eh, the window for starting a custom spin of a pi board and having it done before the pi is obsolete is probably closing anyhow, so maybe next revision?

That's big problem with custom hardware... By the time you are done with all the Engineering effort and debugging, well, there's better hardware out there. Remember the neo? That's why you'd want to start with something mostly done (that was only recently released) and then make minor changes (and why removing video and adding more ram might be a bad idea?)
For a brand like Nasty Gal, it's dependent on the people running it and their ability to constantly shift with the tide. Very few can do it, but some entrepreneurs do pull it off (and they often end up as huge fashion brands).

Fashion trends have a short life expectancy, but if you can change with them season after season, then you'll be a monster in the fashion world.
> Every single project, open source or not, needs to have a "Why Use It" page.

Let me expand your comment (with your permission) to make it more general.

"Every project, open source or not, needs to be run with all the branches of a proper organization"

Let me flesh it out with an example: some time ago there was a flame here and on proggit about cricitisism of C++. Some arguments and counter-arguments (http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/197dn1/introduc...) got me thinking (have mercy, o' HN C++ overlords)

1. Problems are due to power and flexibility
Design : build simple and tight systems or get smart enough to build tight complex systems.

2. clang is fixing template error messages
Execution: reasonable to demand this be done before standardization

3. This is an implementation problem
Management apathy: Passing the buck

4. C++ is not one language but actually many different ones
Marketing : Positioning

etc

There should be no reason why open-source projects should be 'good code, bad with everything else'.
"Vires in Numeris"
I'm not an Apple apologist. They make some miserable choices, and a some of their apps are complete crap (Their podcast app should have never, ever been released.) I've never been happy with any of their cloud applications, mobile me was crud, their web photo sharing system is still next to useless, and photostream is barely useable - you'd think after a couple years they would have been able to figure out how DropBox syncs so reliably. Battery Management is horrible - I can't tell what's heating up my iPhone and sucking down my battery. Background applications STILL can't download files, even when you have 100% battery, are plugged in, and are on WiFi (Seriously - when is Apple ever going to figure that one out - When will my NYT app be able to download a newspaper, OmniFocus Sync my Tasks, Downcast download my Podcasts, etc..).

I could go on and on about the things I don't like about Apple, and Apple products - but, the one thing they nailed is 100% App Separation on the iPhone. Malware is already starting to make it's way onto the iPhone, and the more they can do to lock down that platform, the happier I'll be.

Does this mean that I don't have the flexibility with my Phone that I have with my Laptop? Yes. But does it mean my phone is about 10x more consistently reliable than my Laptop - Also yes.

But, with all that said - could Apple come up with a mechanism to allow some kind of Inter-App sharing, wherein you could explicitly (I.E. User Initiated, not App Initiated) send data from one application to another - Almost certainly. John Siracusa has been on them to do this for at least a couple years now - and if they'd simply use one of his (very well informed) rants as their PRD, the IOS platform would certainly evolve. But I'm hoping they do it in a way (Copy / Paste?, Sharing Icon?) that guarantees the same level of separation, reliability, and simplicity that we currently enjoy.

Until then - Media viewing/consumption apps like GoodReader usually offer a pretty broad variety of input options, including just reading from your Dropbox folder (among many, many choices)
It became such a pain in the ass for audio users that a new inter-app standard, AudioBus, was given the greenlight by Apple after accumulating signups from thousands of musicians who wanted to push audio & MIDI data between apps.
If you spend some time on their site, you'll notice they have huge margins.

eg: http://www.nastygal.com/clothes/paisley-sky-overalls

Or $65 for a bikini bottom -

It wouldn't surprise me at all if their net margin is great (compared to most retail).

That doesn't really mean much - most online fashion retail has similar markups, and nobody else is making money.

Edit: In the case of the 2nd piece, Nasty Gal probably isn't making much money on it at all. It's made in the USA (which is usually a higher cost item), and the direct from manufacturer price is 63 dollars. Thus, it's probably a drop ship item with a razor thin margin.

Why I never want to have a "For-Profit" business
I found that whatever thought is eagerly bubbling to the top is probably something I should think about why it's surfacing. After you deal with the issue (which may take a while) it is less buoyant and bubbles up less.

However, I do meditation in the sense of asking God to communicate and then listening for him. It's even more helpful to ask him what he wants you to change and then listen. I cannot speak to what is helpful for Eastern meditation, though.

I think you're going to need to deal with the buoyant thoughts (regardless of whether you are religious or not), though, otherwise what is underlying them is going to drive your actions without you realizing it.
There are various states of readiness for these ships. Some of them are floating wrecks as you say, others are actually sealed and have dehumidifiers running inside them to keep rust down etc. Then there is the Ready Reserve fleet which is staffed 24/7 and have a 5-10 day activation window. See NDRF ( bit.ly/108AKrG ) vs RRF ( http://1.usa.gov/107ak6i )
Exactly that, and in addition, if you're pulling articles from the Hacker News feed, you have to do more than just grab the 'most recent', because you'll get major duplication because articles move up and down the RSS feed all day long.

The (fairly obvious) solution is just to make sure that URLs are stored as uniques, but my 20 minute reader application overlooked that on the first pass.
I don't think Etsy is acting as though they want only the female perspective, just more of it than what they have. I'm sure there are other areas where they are trying to get more male perspective (e.g. at small liberal arts colleges, to a degree).

Etsy is obviously not starting to hire only women or even mostly women.

Google global impact challenge
I practice wu wei - or "no action" / wei wu wei "action without action" - This is a Taoist method similar to meditation, however rather than sitting in lotus, you apply it to now, the singular moment.

Having practiced meditation for about 5 years (which was about 15 years ago) I found that I didn't fully integrate the states with one another (meditation / action)

I'm sure it's not for everyone, and perhaps it requires the prologue of a few years of meditation first, but I find wu wei a more helpful and whole method of spiritual living.

Don't assume I'm at complete bliss 100% of the time, and I've certainly had more powerful realisations within the confines of yogic meditation, but I find the balance is much stronger and in tune with both material and spiritual reality.

They were supposed to be, that's why even in 2011 there were only 75 left from a highpoint of ~400. Most of the mothball fleet hasn't been considered reserve-ready in decades, although it really depends on the ship (e.g. the Sea Shadow has been maintained until 2006)

In the bokehjs repo, we have some unittests which demonstrate the capabilities - thus far we've focused mainly on getting things ready for demos, and we've SORELY neglected documentation, ease of getting others setup. But now that we have some downtime after PyCon, we'll be working on this very soon. So I guess what I'm saying is, wait a week, and those demos will be available. If you're really eager, you could clone the repo, but it's quite hard to get up and running right now.

As I read this, I found myself trying to pinpoint the bits of text that would inevitably be cherry-picked by others for the sake of argument (or simply to make Steven Wittens look bad for having written this piece).

And, while there are certainly quotes that could be misconstrued, I had a hard time seeing how anyone could take away part of this without at least acknowledging the rest. Yes, the author touches on some uncomfortable topics. Yes, I can see how someone might find certain arguments upsetting, or even offensive. At the very least, not everyone will agree with every point Wittens makes.

But the take-away, at least for me, was how vast the grey area is between the "sides" of these topics, and also how much of what we perceive (about people, sexism, and the tech industry as a whole) happens within a bubble. That there are a ton of related and important issues in the wider context, which fail to get addressed when the discussions are so narrow in scope.

There are plenty of other take-aways too, and perhaps I'm missing something that someone else will point out, but overall I found this piece really refreshing, especially after a the other discussions I've read lately, on HN and elsewhere.

it's a numpy-aware compiler - you either tell the jit decorator the types of the arguments the function will be called with, and that information is used in the compilation. It doesn't have to be NumPy arrays, but the type declaration mechanism does know about them and can optimize around that. Similar to how providing type information can allow cython to provide efficient C code, providing type information on the decorator allows Numba to generate efficient llvm byte code.

There is also an autojit decorator that watches what you're calling the function with, and compiles it for the given type signature.
