Hello, guys.

Found today, that Bootstrap Team is very close to finish Bootstrap 3(https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/pull/6342), but docs for bootstrap 3 doesn't work (http://rc.getbootstrap.com/), so I forked the repo and built it to watch for new features.

Enjoy!
I believe he is trying to say: What is one million, in the face of the starvation of 40 mio?

I think he is wrong about this premise, since this 1 million people could help create jobs, and feed even more people (service industry, etc). Like others said: It's important for these people to focus on the game they know, and that's mostly information and technology.

Hello. I don't have any strong pro-Google feelings. I used to really like Apple.

iOS is only good for people that want something which works and which they don't need to spend any effort on maintaining. It is a complete joke for people that want a powerful mobile computing device.

I use an iPhone now but my next phone will be an Android. To be honest I'll probably continue to buy iPod Touches as long as they can be jailbroken, but that's the only way I can make iOS into a platform that I'm willing to use.

The last significant innovation in iOS was Notification Center. Android already had that, along with widgets, custom lock screens, custom keyboards...

That's simply not true. Facebook will hire anyone who they think is awesome and shows promise. There are many people that work at Facebook who don't even have a degree (the CEO for one...). The culture comes from the top, and Mark recognizes that you don't necessarily need to have a degree to be awesome at what you do because of his own experiences.

In fact, a friend of mine quit college after his Freshman year to go work at FB. He has no degree.

This handy page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_frequency has a frequency table that includes Swedish.

So, if you sort on frequency by clicking the appropriate arrows icon in the Swedish column, you can see that both Å and Ö are more frequently used in Swedish than B, C, J, Y, X, W, Z and Q. Of course, all of those have dedicated keys as well and I don't think that's going to be changing anytime soon.

The important point is that "the same letter" can have different roles in different languages. In many languages Ä is considered a "modified version" of A (like in German, I think) but still "mostly" an A when it comes to sorting and so on. In Swedish, that's just not the case, it's a separate letter. Our alphabet has first-class 29 characters (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_alphabet).

If your last name is "Åkermark", you're sorting a loong way from "Andersson".
Microbenchmarks practically never map 1:1 to real world performance, since these libraries get embedded in much larger software systems that each have their own bottlenecks and inefficiencies. That should already be well understood when we call these things "microbenchmarks" and not "benchmarks". Meanwhile, compare all of the LevelDB/Kyoto/SQLite3 results we reported to the results the LevelDB authors originally reported - you'll find they are directly comparable. It may well be that read tests whose data sets are already fully cached in RAM are not representative of the underlying media speed. But (1) we're just trying to produce numbers using the same methodology as the original LevelDB benchmarks and (2) the full results show that even with all data fully cached in RAM, the type of underlying filesystem still had dramatic effects on the performance of each library.

We've done another bench recently (not yet prettied up for publication) with a VM with 32GB of RAM and 4 CPU cores. On an LDAP database with 5 million entries, the full DB occupies 9GB of RAM and this VM can return 33,000 random queries/second ad nauseum. Scaling the DB up to 25 million entries, the DB requires 40GB of RAM and the random query rate across all 25M drops down to around 20,000/sec. Tests like these are more about the price/quality of your hard drive than the quality of your software. As publishable results they're much less referenceable since any particular site's results will have much greater variance, and the only thing for a conscientious party to do is measure it on their own system anyway.

I'm not sure I like the idea of parsing templates with regular expressions. There is a better way, as demonstrated in Robe Pike's video[1] detailing how the Go template language is implemented.

I believe this is less about the input method (in this case, speech) than it is about situational awareness. The reason the Star Trek computer is perceived as so smart is because of the thousands of sensors it employs inside and outside of the ship, the other seemingly limitless data sources it has to pull from, and of course the ability to parse all of that data into something usable when needed.

As a member of the Enterprise, Star Trek's computer knows your vital signs, your medical history, your food preferences (replicator), your entertainment preferences (holodeck), your sleep patterns, your work history, your travel history, your current whereabouts (combadge), your relationships (Riker's combadge sure does spend a lot of time around Troi's combadge), your psychological status (log entries), etc.

This is where Google and many others are headed, particularly with the advent of wearable computing. If only we could rest assured that their intent is as ostensibly benevolent and altruistic as that of the Enterprise computer.

This assumption doesn't seem right, because age of HN users is not uniformly distributed, and we can assume (yes, I'm exchanging one assumption with another ;)) that people who lie won't pick their own age as a "lie". Therefore the biggest age group should be underrepresented, and the others, on average, overrepresented. :).

How to Play Blu-ray Folder with DVDFab Blu-ray Player Software
DVDFab Blu-ray player software, officially known as DVDFab Media Player, can play Blu-ray folders that you ripped and saved for later viewing, and always for free. You don’t need to pay even a penny to get this Blu-ray folder playback feature, since after 30-day trial of DVDFab Blu-ray player software, this feature will still be available. Just grab a copy at www.dvdfab.com/media-player.htm and install it to come with me to the following tutorial about how to play Blu-ray folder with it.
Not to be so unreasonably negative here, but I've been pretty suspicious of the peculiar amount of attention this book has gotten.

I wish more effort was put into updating the /free/ Django book (created by Jacob Kaplan-Moss and Adrian Holovaty, the creators of Django): http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/index.html -- what's fantastic about the Django book is it could be read by a complete novice with no prior experience of webapp development, indeed it introduces the patterns to a MVC framework in a great way with wonderful analogies. Novices are not going to have a fun time with TSoD.

edit: As stevejalim has pointed out, jacobian is taking pull requests to update the book for Django 1.5: https://github.com/jacobian/djangobook.com/blob/master/READM... -- have a go!
Winklevoss Twins Heavily Investing in Bitcoins
The main point of WillThisFly? is to test out an idea or project at any stage of its development before committing too many resources and finding that your awesome idea isn't so awesome after all.

If we had something like this when we first started out it would have made life so much easier and we wouldn’t have wasted months on projects that weren’t going anywhere but may still have been salvageable with the right feedback.

The iterations and feedback are key: This involves a simple, instant method (voting) and the more involved approach (comments). With both of these, a project owner will be able to find out if his project is worth pursuing and if it is, be able to iterate, change or pivot accordingly until he is happy he has a product that will work.

We will be adding a blog shortly that will outline strategies and features and more information about WTF?

At the moment we are using WillThisFly? to develop WillThisFly? and it's early days but it's coming along nicely and we are always open to suggestions :)
To be truly decentralized you need something like "digital cash", but nobody's been able to come up with a good way of implementing that, yet. Also, I'm not sure people are prepared to mix the problems of cash and electronic transactions just yet, there are some advantages to the banking system we have now, such as the ability to reverse fraudulent transactions.

I think the example from fiction, Cryptonomicon, is actually very helpful, because they understood they needed a big honking pile of gold to kick-start the legitimacy of the whole thing, if it's just free floating then it too easily becomes a pyramid scheme and you have people who just do currency exchanges but who never actually use the new currency as money. You want people to hold onto money because it's money, not because they think the money can go up in value, that's precisely what you don't want.

Unfortunately, there are now a lot of people in the bitcoin world who do what the exchange rate of bitcoins to go up, because they view bitcoin's as an investment and they still view dollars as "real money". And in most ways they aren't wrong. But they're also making it harder for anyone else to use bitcoins just as money.

That is from 3 months ago, I find it odd that no apparent work has been done on buttons since then. If this is the final preview, I'm getting the hint that the final release is not off by much -- are they going to put together their efforts on button-designs just in these last few days?
Are problems like these actually asked during job interviews?

I don't mean that this isn't a good topic, just that I always imagined that interview questions would be harder to solve and that they wouldn't ask for contrived solutions (solutions that aren't obvious and could lead to bugs for new coders, while not being better in many other ways).

> But that's when it's most important to avoid words like 'fanboy' because otherwise discussion dies.

Any discussion with a raging fanboy is dead to begin with. He will reject anything that goes against his rose-tinted view of Google. Reason and logic won't reach him, and that's why it's alright to just call him a fanboy and move on, even though that's pointless too, of course.

In this case, I just wanted to point out the absurdity of calling iOS a "complete joke".

What makes you suspicious? I like TSoD because it fills that gap between the official docs and SO/mailing lists: it's a collection of "best practice" advice for those who have already had exposure to Django.

It's a completely different approach from the Django Book, and I don't think this is a problem. They are targeting different demographics.

I wish you had read The Lean Startup by Eric Ries. It stresses the fact of build a Mean Viable Product very early on and testing hypothesis like "will artists pay for this service" in a real life scenario with an ok product. Aardvark did this in a really cool way (check Aardvark out).

Also, there is a notion amongst us entrepreneurs to persevere amongst all odds. This might be dangerous at times. There might be a massive market for your product yet you have approached it in the wrong way. The thing is, if you have no data, it is very difficult to know what REALLY went wrong. For example: Drew Houston from Dropbox early on stated that selling Dropbox through adwords was costing them something like 300 dollars per acquisition, once they introduced their double-sided referral scheme Dropbox started selling like mad. It was what Eric Ries calls a Pivot.
