Thank you for your feedback and the great idea about the domain hacks implementation. :)

The prices are shown with the included taxes and ICANN fees, which all registrars calculate a bit differently. I tried to make them as much comparable as possible. The total price for .com domain at Gandi.net is indeed 18.54 (https://www.gandi.net/domain/price/detail/com/)

Which other registrars would you like to be included?
Great! When you're done with this, can you be persuaded to write one about Weblocks?

I'm kidding, but not entirely. Weblocks is an extremely powerful and sophisticated framework, but it has a bit of a learning curve. It desperately needs a good tutorial.
Does it state anywhere in the article that it is?
SpaceX amazes us with every launch. They have been innovating by using technology that is cheap but easy to scale. Google did that when they were young.
Why the big fuss about saying some startups are "bad"? I'm sure some startups are bad. There's certainly a possibility that some bad startups looked good and made it through the screening process. Other accepted bad startups may have been risky bets that didn't payoff.

I think at least a few people have a problem with the directness and harshness of the statement. But if I was one of those bad startups, I'd appreciate the candor and directness. That would be far preferable to someone being "nice" and allowing me to continue down the wrong path.

Being "nice" isn't really that nice at all.
Both high and low volume feeds have their use. You just have to know how to manage them.

I use River2 for my high volume feeds while I stick my rarely updated and "must read" feeds into NetNewsWire. Has been working pretty well for me so far.

When using NetNewsWire, I'm in "slow down mode" where just about every item (in theory) is important to me. But when I'm using River2, I'm in "scan and click mode" and just trying to see what the latest news is.

Using separate applications like this helps keep me "in the zone."

If I were to put high volume feeds in NetNewsWire the temptation to read all the posted items would be too great. In River2, items older than three hours just drop off the page. There's no "unread count" or "read older items" button to tempt you.
It's actually not pejorative. (The term "wenching", however, is. Go English language! :)

Summly as a technology play is only moderately interesting.

What I suspect though is Yahoo desperately needs new users. We know that most Yahoo visitors use Yahoo out of habit from the 90s. Where are the new users? Having a young man with penchant for both technology and publicity be the public face of Yahoo the same way as Marissa did with Google gives Yahoo a slightly better edge.

I expect Nick to be groomed for bigger things. Congrats.
This is what Twitter's Lists functionality is for. I have separate lists of people for topics I am interested in, such as running, android, infosec, etc. The downside is that people on your lists don't enjoy the same capabilities as the people you follow, so they can't DM and they might be insulted that you show as not following them.
Handy!

Consider adding some kind of video-like control on the page to restart the screencast; I opened the tab in the background, and by the time I saw it it had already gone halfway through the screencast. I eneded up refreshing the page to see it from the beginning.
Once I actually got to the form for sharing Prime benefits, I noticed that it doesn't actually include co-workers. The options for "relationship to primary member" only include family relationships like "spouse", "unmarried partner", "parent", "child", etc.
The traditional overlay approach involves a bunch of full trees, and uses multiple trees as a way around dealing with leaf nodes being unutilized. My approach uses multiple groupings, which do not overlay, screams within them, and does something completely different for the last hop. They're completely different architectures. I have trouble taking seriously any paper which says that it makes heavy use of multiple description coding. If you have congestion control, skips should be an extreme and bad event.

When I was about to start my PhD, a professor and good friend of mine (who already had one) told me: "The people who finish a PhD are not the most intelligent, but the most perseverant".
In general if you prefer FP, clojure is a great choice. If you like multi-paradigm, and mixing up OO with FP, and procedural as you see fit, go with CL. I'm a multi-paradigm kind of guy, but clojure remains my second favorite language :)
See cl-who for another example: http://weitz.de/cl-who/#syntax

Also, this has nothing to do with functional programming but rather with creating a DSL (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-specific_language)

Only subsequently did I realised this site does no marketing, or even a directory on the front page. So you take 10% just to filehost and not even put up a link?

Most of the Lisp web frameworks look like that, taking advantage of Lisp's flexible syntax.

Here's a Racket example. If you download http://racket-lang.org, you can just run this (no extra libraries or anything) and a browser window will pop up for you.

#lang web-server/insta

;; A "hello world" web server
(define (start request)
(response/xexpr
'(html
(body (h1 "Hello, world!")
(a ([href "http://google.com"]) "Google")
(br)
"I hope you like my site!"))))

This example renders as:
<html><body><h1>Hello, world!</h1><a href="http://google.com>Google</a><br />I hope you like my site!</body></html>

At this point, YC probably has a useful amount of data. I wonder if he's thrown a Bayesian filter at it?

"Actually I prefer to have only one settings file and configure everything else with environment variables. For me this is more clean."

Heavily seconded. After many years of having separate files, this grew very unwieldy with multiple environments, machines, developers, etc. The env-variable route is much better, much easier to configure separately for different machines, etc.

Also, this is the way Heroku does it - you load up a new server and run several "set env variable to {X}" commands to configure it. I think this is based on the 12-factor app system. (http://www.12factor.net/)

Show HN: Community Modifiable Link Aggregator
Hello HN,

About a month or two ago, a colleague and I started throwing around the idea of a link aggregator where the design of the site AS WELL as the content was driven by the community....

So.... http://www.permanent-beta.net was born.

At the moment (undoubtedly soon to change) a ruby script checks for any pull requests on Github and accepts any made by accounts that meet our incredibly lax standards ( (shares + followers + forks) >= 20 ).

PLEASE don't be put off by this if your Github account doesn't have meet this level of activity we still welcome ANY contribution, but it will be lightly vetted to ensure its above board.

The idea behind the site is that YOU the consumer can change anything about the site you feel needs changing, as a starting point some things that you may want to have a go at:

- Change the points system to something more sensible
- UI / UX (currently using Bootstrap and a basic theme from Bootswatch.com)
- Some sort of spam prevention
- Also, anything...

How Not To Choose A Business, or 7 Reasons I Decided Not To Become a Prostitute
Without the common mathematical language necessary to reason and talk about computation in the general case, and Babbage-linage programmers would have been at a severe disadvantage. The fact that general purpose computers only got a resurgence decades later, well after the period of time that the hardware and resources would have supported the construction of a general purpose computer, demonstrates the necessity of the concept.

Could Babbage have created the analytical machine without the theory of computation? Sure. And Hero of Alexandria built a steam engine. Sometimes, the mere ability to create a device is not sufficient. You need the ability to step back and realize the profound nature of what you have just done, and the ability to create a language with which to communicate this realization to the world. Babbage and Ada only managed but a fraction of that, and I do not believe that completing a physical prototype was some sort of last missing piece in the puzzle.

If you want someone other than Turing to point the finger at, then Claude Shannon is next in line waaay before Babbage.

(also, it is not my understanding that the analytical engine was to be an electromechanical relay machine. do you have a source for that?)
Babbage's "computer" was not. Turing's innovation wasn't a device that could perform one or two computations - it was the idea of a device that could be /programmed/ to perform any conceivable computation (resource limits not withstanding).
Yeah, that's a great point. The guys at 37signals also recommend using a fat-tipped pen or marker to prevent you from trying to get too detailed.
I was thinking of a way to say it without hurting any feelings and you did that perfectly.

In Kuwait, people went through what the technology industry is going through now. People were so up in arms about women not being treated fairly that the women have been compensated so much people are complaining the other way around now. A man was running against a woman for a government position and his slogan against her was "Was she elected despite being a woman or because she is a woman?" That struck a chord with a lot of people and he annihilated her at the polls.
> How does your independent consultancy cram all of its income and expenditure items into an SMS?

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough, so snark accepted...what I meant is that if there are Americans who are in the "SMS-and-done" category, then there is a group of Americans who are almost in that bracket. But because of our convoluted tax code, they are ultimately forced to use a third-party to deal with filing taxes.

In my imaginary unicorn world, this group of Americans would be the critical voting bloc toward either an overhaul of the tax code that makes tax filing simpler, if not SMS-simple. There will always be entities that need dedicated tax accountants...but tax reform is about reducing the overall number of entities

"Past performance does not guarantee future results" is still the operative principle here. Data-mining discovers patterns, but it doesn't lead to deep insight into causes, and markets are perturbed by many events that you don't put into your training algorithm. "The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent" is still important investment advice.
The Analytical Machine, which was never created, was to be programmable. Frankly though Babbage, and even Ada who wrote programs for it, lacked the framework necessary to truly realize and communicate the profound nature of the machine.

Hi, I see that I misread the "In order to retrieve the original password a hacker has to crack multiple hashes instead of only one." as your argument, not an example of a false argument. I stand corrected.

Regarding the cost, bcrypt only increases the number of iterations (exponentially) with increased cost. The operation will take the same amount of time on one specific CPU, but go faster on another. However, because of higher memory usage than SHA variants, GPU implementations of bcrypt don't benefit as much compared to CPU implementations.

We still agree your advice to use bcrypt, though.

I see cash and risk management both as separate domains in their own right equal to if not more important than the actual algorithm. I don't think they can be folded into the algorithm itself - there is a reason banks have separate risk departments.

Eg: For risk management I might not allow any trading whatsoever when the VIX is over 40, and the 5 day stddev of the S&P is above some threshold.

Similarly, I might scale my capital usage based on my risk metrics. Or scale the capital available to a particular algorithm based on its individual risk profile.

Recreating risk management in each algorithm seems like a bad idea. But even worse is pushing off risk to the user to do in an ad-hoc way.
