There's a preliminary free implementation of Direct3D on top of Gallium by Luca Barbieri. Getting the community behind that would be a useful first step towards a native Direct3D rendering stack that could then be ported for use e.g. in iOS apps.
In plain terms, on Facebook you can never be any smarter than the stupidest of your friends (to the second degree).

Do you think that is invariably true? I learn a lot from a lot of my Facebook friends. One of those friends calls my wall the "PBS of Facebook" (a reference to the public television network in the United States) because we mostly discuss links (some of which I see first here on HN) and have thoughtful discussions of research and policy issues. Sure, once in a while one of us passes around a photoshopped picture with a silly caption, but most of the time we keep things intellectually engaging and civil, much like HN at its best. (Just a few of my Facebook friends are also members of the HN community.) I think the atmosphere of a group of Facebook friends can be shaped by example, just like any other local culture.
Actually no, that isn't the definition. You have it almost completely backwards in fact. The most successful companies focus on creating long term value.

See: Berkshire Hathaway, Apple, Facebook, Costco, Procter & Gamble (raising dividends every year for 55 straight years, try that with short term thinking) and a very long list of other companies
You're risking a $100 million dollar lawsuit for criticizing it.
First off, thanks for taking the time to give me feedback. Responses below.

>>It's not an MVP, it's just a mockup really.

How so? It's fully functional. I added a setting to disable all filtering (location, timing, tags) because I didn't want to have to schedule a ton of deals to match unforeseeable criteria.

>> Cut the amount of copy, the site is WAY too wordy. Read some blog posts about copywriting

Heh, I'm certainly not a writer. Thank you for the feedback on it, I'll try and trim it back.

>> - it doesn't need more features yet. Make the features you are showing work

What's not working? Did you run into something specific? If you're talking about filtering, I covered that above.

>> and then clean up the design on them

A large part of the design challenge is lack of content. As features are added, the content will fill out, allowing me to fill out the design. I also couldn't spend a horrible amount of time on the design itself. I'd love to hear feedback on what you didn't like specifically though if you have time.

>> Start a blog and a podcast, interviewing exciting restauranteurs. Use content to build the Forage brand

Agreed to an extent. At this stage I'm going to devote my days to door-to-door pitches to get restaurants on board while my nights will be spent developing features based on feedback from restaurateurs. I'm not funded so I have to cram as much as I can in. I realize the value of a blog though, well to an extent.

>> keep rockin

Thanks again :)
it was shared. and i happened to have many friends in Egypt, so think about the situation in Egypt and the kind of pictures that go through my feed.

These of course is not the case for everyone, but everyone has different experience, but most of the time we don't want to see what our friends post on our homepage. Either people will get used to it, like Timeline, or the app will be a failure.
If you use javascript for layout, you're gonna have a bad time. But you're totally right about separating layout from structure.

GridSet (http://gridsetapp.com) does some pretty amazing things. While it doesn't require you use a CSS preprocessor, you should check out the .scss it generates for a look into how they use preprocessor functions in a way that's much more similar to programming than CSS property-value lists.

You should also check out Chris Eppstein's deck on his approach to structuring projects with separated concerns (https://speakerdeck.com/chriseppstein/help-my-stylesheets-ar...), and Jonathan Snook's SMACSS (http://smacss.com).
Just for posterity, let me note I meant that to read RAID 1.
"what does all this look like when your friends aren't as attractive/good at photography"

That's why Instagram was so important. We'll just slather on filters till things either look better or imperceptible as human.
Sounds plausible to me ... like how OpenStreetMaps improved (improves?) its map data by letting people import traces from their GPS devices.

The way schema migrations are handled is by making a hash of the current schema part of the cache key, so yeah, effectively every time a cached model's underlying table schema is changed all the cached entries become invalid.

If you think they delete the data at all from anywhere you're out of your mind. Records are tombstoned, moved to cold(er) storage for efficiency and then not displayed. Certainly not deleted.

The Future of Local: GrimwireOS and Social Computing
When I share what I'm doing, sharing with my friends is secondary to sharing with myself in the future when I look it up again.
Seriously: what's the "next big thing" in tech?
If you went to a high-tech university during WW2, electronics and radio engineering was huge. If you were born somewhere around 1955, by the time you were in your early 20s you had the chance to start the biggest personal computer or operating system software company in the world. If you were web-savvy in the late 90s and early 00s you could have created online payment systems, web stores, a search engine, or a social network.

It's 2013 and I have no idea what the next big thing(s) might be. Things feel small now, like everyone's picking off the lowest-hanging fruit, e.g. trivial mobile apps, me-too companies, X-for-Y startups, etc.

But in this post, I ask HN: what fields are going to be big, and how can a young engineer/entrepreneur be apart of them early on?

Cheers
I showed my girlfriend this app. Her first words were "That is dangerous. How much do I just want to post pictures of dicks for everyone with that app"

While not my first thought (I had baby photos etc come up in my mind), to be fair, if this app does gain any traction, inappropriate photobombing people's phones will become a thing - and that's not good for Facebook.
It's fine if people are insulted by that behavior. It's fine if people are insulted by people being insulted by that behavior.

There are enough people with varying behavioral preferences or needs that people insulted by that behavior to a significant degree should simply not associate with those people. Opportunity lost? Maybe. Maybe not. They probably aren't going to be the best fit together for whatever they're doing if they clash with that type of amplitude though.

That said, there's a point here that I don't think is made quite often enough, or not explicitly enough:

People do not have the right to not be insulted. If you're insulted by something some people do, I'd guess your course of actions should be:

+ ask them about why they do it

+ express that you find it insulting and why

and then if the context of their actions doesn't remove the insult to you, stop associating with them.

People are sometimes purposefully insulting -- those people are dicks, and you'll accomplish nothing by engaging them.

Some people are accidentally insulting and will gladly try to be aware of your sensibilities while you're around. Some people will have behavior that is part of their identity that is insulting to you for reasons that are pretty alien to them.

Particularly in that last case, people on all sides need to grow the fuck up and realize that being insulted and/or being interpreted as insulting is not nearly as big of a deal as some people make it out to be. Be insulted, be offended, it's fine.

Stop being indignant about it.

Speaking for myself, I can't imagine being insulted by something that when clarified did not have insult as its intent without having some sort of skewed notion of my value as a living thing in relation to other living things.

Or, on the contrary, a classic case of what psychoanalysis calls the "narcissism of small differences", ie. getting a superficial sense of one's own uniqueness based on marginal and superficial differences.

No I don't...I take my doctors advise but I also exercise and eat well because I enjoy it.

However, in my job, I analyze large medical datasets. You will understand if I get a bit pedantic about such things.

Doing some strength training is a probable plus on several fronts with few risks. However if I am advising doctors or the presidential physical fitness council to recommend strength training vs endurance training vs focusing on diet on an institutional level I need to look at the evidence for each with more rigor.
To be fair, Django only supports Python 3 as of 1.5, which was released a bit more than a month ago.
I had problems with my knees after I gained a heap of muscle and then levelled out on my weight and stopped squatting for a while. My knees were now sore all the time.

At some point I read an article called "Everything you know about fitness is a lie" (which has been posted to HN several times), which has a section entitled, "You're only as strong as your weakest muscle". It talks about strengthening stabiliser muscles and exercises to rehabilitate weakened muscles.

The section also illustrates some of the better exercises you can do to alleviate injuries. In particular, there is an exercise for strengthening the knees - I can only describe as a straight leg lift while lying on one's side - which I tried for a couple of weeks, despite the flak I copped from my weightlifting compatriots.

I believe it works the quadriceps, and from my research, the exercise alleviates the difference in strength between the hamstring and the quadricep (don't quote me on this though), which seems to be the cause of my particular joint problem.

However, I've found I can't just go up to a certain point and stop the exercise. I need to continue with it as long as I'm doing squats. It's annoying, because none of my weightlifting crew have this problem, so I think it's got to do with the particulars of my genetics, but whatever works.
I highly dislike how docker is structured, LXC itself is a somewhat mess of enterprisism and slathering on more abstractions on top of it makes it even more so. Look at http://criu.org for a more modular approach (a sandboxing interface would still be needed) and IMHO what is needed is a sane library to abstract sandboxing (not libvirt) and another for resource limiting (which includes hardware)
It'll only take someone with a network sniffer 5 seconds to discover if it does this and then there will be bad news about it for weeks.

The charging station seems more compelling than a small park if homeless people can't live in the charging station like they can at the park, which (unless it is bugged like everything else) supposedly decreases the impact of the park.

It's not public yet; I haven't finished it (I need to code 4 variables for like 100 entries, since I only thought of the variables partway through assembling the list, and I have 3 or 4 pages to check for additional entries) and the analysis (logistic regression on the variables, and survival curves).

The idea is to try to predict future shut downs, but it's turned out to be a lot more work than I expected...

"Netflix seems to be the only one that realizes this, and has started producing their own content (e.g. House of Cards and Arrested Development), and I think this is the only true catalyst that will change the industry for the better."

There's a big difference between a company like Netflix producing their own content, making it available for watching uninterrupted, whenever you like -vs- any of the content providers that charge cable companies for their content streams that include commercials and are generally not available "on demand", packaged together through a single company that won't give you just the content you want, when you want it, but charges you for some combination of provider's streams in a package.

Hence the argument of "the alternative is having to pay $100/month for a cable subscription to watch garbage you don't want to see". 5x7.99 is not the cost of cable. The only cable packages you can get for that price are extremely limited. Also, they will require another $4.99 a month for on-demand, on top of your regular cable fee, unless you're paying more than $100 a month, in which case, it's included. ¬.¬
I think this kind of approach can reduce complexity in JS. Witch is for me by far the biggest problem. Will give it a try.
Very cool repo and articles that he links to. Lots of the layout constraints (not type-size, colors, etc.) should be solved when Flexbox support lands in the other major browsers. For example a 20% wide container, that gets no wider than 800px and no skinnier than 200px can be solved with Flexbox pretty easily.

Not having adequate Flexbox support after it being discussed for soooo long is my other big problem with CSS.

Oh that's good that it sounds authentic, because cities all across the world must get enough solar power to charge electric cars without pulling from the power grid all day long, right?

'Yugoslavia is a country'. Are you really going to exclude that? So, no statements about political geography at all, then. Same problem for physical geography ('New Moore Island exists'). Nothing about climate (because 'the rain in Spain' could change at any time), nothing about population levels. Even the sample 'average weight of an apple' is pretty suspect. I think your database is going to be quite limited.
They seem really eager to make the forks as hard to merge as possible.
No. Just, no. The progress is freaking immense. Childhood leukemia used to be a death sentence - now? 95% survival. That's just one. My stepdad just got cured of prostate cancer, and no, not with weird-ass stuff either. Incremental progress. I've got a cousin who's surviving breast cancer.

Cancer is way, way weirder than anybody thought. It's not a single-bullet thing. Cancer actually evolves right inside you, for one thing. They can actually chart the genome of different parts of the tumor and trace the cell lineages. So any one drug has different effectiveness against different parts of the cancer.

So there's been slow, steady progress over the last couple of decades, and survival rates are way better than they used to be - and just getting better. But "treating cancer" is kind of like "treating viruses" - you need a whole array of techniques. And we're building that array. Nothing's stopping anybody.
"Robert"? Sheesh.
I can be wrong, but being in a state of marriage with Y is a fact.

It should be noted that when there is a legal authority behind a currency, there is immense incentive to find ways to manipulate and infiltrate that authority. I would even argue that this incentive is stronger than the incentive to manipulate a decentralized currency.

The key thing to remember is that you are not enriching your experiences by sharing them online; you’re detracting from them because all your efforts are focussed on making them look attractive to other people.

But that is the point for many people. Most people aren't doing things to personally enrich themselves, they are doing it for others.
IIRC, in the "real time java" world though, they don't use Java as is though. They mostly fight with the language, statically allocating all things in advance etc.

In that sense, one could also use Go. But that is a bleak argument.

(But in all seriousness, the reason you see low-hanging-fruit being picked is because everyone is still trying to figure out how best to employ the internet - you're seeing microeconomies rising and falling at a rapid pace, innovation both thriving and being stifled - there's a lot of flux at the moment. When everything clicks into place, it's possible that everyone will need to be an entrepreneur in their own way.)
I'd love to see a patent troll lose a case, but their breach of contract case seems a bit weak (without seeing the actual contract, since they didn't include 'Exhibit B' in the PDF).

As I understand it:

* Parallel Iron owns IPNav.

* IPNav and Rackspace signed a contract saying that IPNav won't sue Rackspace without giving 30 days notice first.

* Parallel Iron sues Rackspace without giving notice first.

* Rackspace sues Parallel Iron and IPNav for breach of contract.

But IPNav and Parallel Iron are separate legal entities, and so unless Rackspace can argue that they can 'pierce the corporate veil' (which might be difficult if they followed appropriate standards to separate the companies, which I presume lawyer heavy patent trolls would be careful to do) and treat them as the same legal entity, IPNav isn't responsible for Parallel Iron filing the suit, and Parallel Iron isn't subject to the contract entered into by IPNav.

Fyi I tweaked my comments some. Here's responses:

"It's fully functional"

You said the deals aren't real. I guess I was confused, I thought this was automatically aggregating all the deals from other services. If you are having to go talk to restaurants and secure deals themselves, this idea won't scale. Just being up front.

"A large part of the design challenge is lack of content"

No, the design is obviously done by a non-designer. That's okay to start off with. Then slowly improve on it by asking feedback from people with design background, and eventually hiring a contractor to add some polish.

"At this stage I'm going to devote my days to door-to-door pitches to get restaurants on board while my nights will be spent developing features based on feedback from restaurateurs"

There's nothing to be sad about. Some people seem to think this is some sort of tragedy and failure of webkit the opensource project. It's not.

The fork happenned to a large extent for a want of control on the code base. So, it's mostly technical. WebKit has atleast 8 ports in trunk. Every part of it - networking, os, javascript engine, bindings, plugins, graphics has been hacked to death. And it has abstractions galore.

Now imagine you worked for WebKit. If you wanted to commit something, you had to test it against 8 ports. Many of these ports are cross platform. So, you are really talking about like gazillion combinations (mac, windows, linux, retina vs non-retina, os versions). It was not a happy place to develop and everyone in the project recognized this.

The pace of development was getting very slow because of the above. Apple faced this and said WebKit2 is all theirs and nobody else should really use it. Google faced this and decided to fork.

In short, most webkit devs are happy about this. It's worked out well for everyone.
