Honestly, the $250 ARM Chromebook is among the very best things you could do for development (in my opinion). I can use ChromeOS for when I'm not doing anything hardcore and then just open a chroot jail (via crouton https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton) with a full xubuntu/xmonad install when I really want to get cracking. Both open so quickly it's almost disorienting, either from start or from sleep. It's the same size and weight as a Macbook Air and the battery life is outstanding (I've come quite close to the 9 hr mark when I'm not listening to music on speakers). The only downside, at least for the purposes of this question, is that it isn't fully HD, or rather isn't 1080p which is what I assume the OP meant. Still, I'd say that this is by far the best computing investment I've ever made, and I'm happier with this than I am with the $1000 laptop I got 6 months ago.
I thought it was a good question, and probably the only part of the article that's relevant to Hacker News. (FWIW I think it does matter and didn't like his answer)
i'll look into that as well :) thanks
If you've never read the epic Steve Yegge rant on Amazon, the true story of Amazon as a Platform is quite fascinating.

"That's what Bezos was up to with his edict, of course. He didn't (and doesn't) care even a tiny bit about the well-being of the teams, nor about what technologies they use, nor in fact any detail whatsoever about how they go about their business unless they happen to be screwing up. But Bezos realized long before the vast majority of Amazonians that Amazon needs to be a platform."

One of the things that attracted me to the first Halo series was the humanity of the writing. Halo (especially the first one) never glorified violence in the lore of the game. There is much lamenting the horrifying situation that Master Chief finds himself.

This is of course completely lost in multiplayer, but I'm not sure how you can blame bungie for the non-authored parts of the game.

They wanted to be a fresh and new car company, but ended up just hiring industry insiders with the same lumbering mindset of General Motors. Add more managers and executives to make things better, not more people who actually know what their doing. My father was head of distribution with 30+ years of experience under his belt taking cars from foreign countries and seeing them all the way through to the dealers. He was one of the first to be let go last year, which left them with no one who knew how to do customs forms, how to get cars off the boat and then prepare them for ground transport and sale, etc. If you can't move your product around (or even get it in to the country), you won't have much success.

Hurricane Sandy slammed the port where hundreds of Fisker Karmas, some of which were already sold to customers, were trapped due to no one knowing how to get them moved or out of customs. 320 were destroyed in the resulting fires due to salt water getting in to the high voltage system. Simply having someone who was even mildly familiar with the process of getting cars handled at the port and on to truck or rail could have prevented that, but instead, the cars just sat for months after my father was let go.

Obviously my story is just a personal one, but from what I've heard from other ex-Fisker employees, basically every department was ruined this way, too.

In the second case the divide function isn't being exported from the compilation unit and the compiler can tell[1], so the compiler is free to do whatever it wants with the calling convention and in this case it will choose to inline. And once it's inlined finding the correct answer at compile time is still obvious.

[1] Normally you have to declare a function as 'static' to tell the compiler that the function isn't being exported form the compilation unit, since the compiler isn't supposed to be able to tell the difference between function declarations in the .c file itself and function declarations that were included from .h files. But in this case the function is just defined and never declared, so I presume that's the same as a static declaration.
I work like that when I need to run other stuff on the Windows side. But that's on my monster desktop machine.

And no, I don't want a cheap 1366x768 screen and crappy keyboard. Yes, I can live with cheap CPU, RAM etc. And in fact the best machine for me would be with good screen/kbd and cheap everything else. But no one manufactures such, at least to my knowledge :(

Sure, CEO:s have a much greater impact on the company than the average employee. And they should get paid "lots," I don't disagree on that. But that's not the scale we are on here, we're talking 1000 times more productive. It's a larger difference than between peasants and the kings of feudal Europe.

Google either gets 1000 extra engineers or gets this probably really smart guy. I guess we just have to agree to disagree since there is no way to measure how valuable a CEO is. I do think that the burden of proof is upon those that think those salary differences is justifiable since "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."

Not a good example since Symbian has been a dead end for years and Nokia has failed to make desirable smart phones. Putting all the blame on him ignores all the bad decisions all the other people at Nokia did.

There's no such thing as the aesthetic of newer games. Sure, there's a bunch of blockbusters which share a similar aesthetic, but there are (and were) plenty of different games.

The best sellers of 2001 (the year of Halo) were The Sims and Rollercoaster Tycoon; not exactly dark and violent games.

I heard Darren LaCroix[1] describe a Comedy career like that is a 4-yr education, just like college. 4-years starting from the initial point of getting on stage for the first time. Hundreds of gigs, some unpaid. Bombing on stage, driving to some gigs two-hours one-way. Working from 5 min. of material to 15 min. to being an opening act to headlining. And eventually you become seasoned enough that you can handle any crowd, deliver your routine, focus people's attention, entertain the audience, enlighten them, make people laugh enough that they forget and escape the reality of their lives... like a professional.

Darren makes $5k+ as a keynote speaker per gig and he did say that the $5k is not for the 30-min or hour he speaks - it is for the thousands of hours he put in (the 2-hr drives, the bombing, the 3/4 empty audiences in small clubs) to get to the point where people know he is going to deliver an inspiring, humorous message to the delegates at a business convetion.

As for a comedy special on HBO - 1 hr of material. That's the equivalent of making the major leagues.

Technically, he is not a professional comedian now but he applies comedy to business and public speaking training.
So right. Just spin the damn jetty, put the postgre driver and off you go. Most of the infrastructure is done in a day or two, and if not enough you can always revisit it later. And it runs fast. So fast that it feels like dynamic language. And even with the modern apps, where most of the action is on the client (and the server is interface to the DB most of the time) you even don't need to restart your server that often.

I think that whoever says that Java is not good language for development either have seen only j2ee or never did looked around. (as a prime example the stupid bean convention and tools which operate on it)

Also, mentioning on a radio station that it's in the local water supply as though it's news is very different from off-handedly mentioning it in a friendly conversation where you can immediately let them know what the joke is.
"according to my realtor friend" - a reliable source of "supplies are limited" messages.

Austin experiences relatively mild boom/bust cycles. The metro area is not that big and there is still a great deal of undeveloped land so developers are always ready to build more, thus holding prices stable. The biggest problem the area faces is water supply. High property taxes of 2-3% annually offset most any gain from not having a state tax. Racial diversity is about 50 years behind most major cities.
> guns cannot be justified because they have no purpose other than killing

Suppose someone is trying to kill you or your loved ones. Do you really not see how a gun could be beneficial? Do you really not see how killing someone could be the right thing to do?
You're asserting that, simply because people are capable of holding down jobs, owning homes and producing kids, that the general stigmatization of sciences and pervasive anti-intellectualism is insignificant because people can still intuit what constitutes as good and bad education and policy? This is absurd. Just because people may be capable of functioning in the real world without access to scientific knowledge does not meant that we shouldn't pursue the proliferation of such knowledge. Whether people need to know what Dihydrogen Monoxide is is largely inconsequential. Insofar as scientific knowledge is, unto itself, a good thing, policymakers should strive to promote it, regardless of its practical implications.

It's preferable to be an informed functioning citizen than an uninformed functioning citizen, despite the fact that they are both capable of doing their jobs every day.

As an aside, "Half of the population is below average intelligence" is false. Half of the population is below the median intelligence.

Not clear whether it shows the "friends hanging out currently at the place phone directed to" or "comments about the place". Somewhere in the video a box appeared on a car's driver that was passing by, which made me even think that "is that a face recognition app?" (yes i hope and expect too much)

Halo (well, Bungie) revolutionized the console FPS. Halo had dual analog control (I'm sure there were FPS that had it before Halo, but I don't know what it is). Halo 2 introduced online play with playlists rather than servers (I believe they were the first).

Those are innovations that sparked hundreds (thousands?) of copy cats. Not saying Wolfenstein/Doom didn't have a ton of innovations as well, but I think it's safe to say Halo took things to a completely new level.
>As an aside, "Half of the population is below average intelligence" is false. Half of the population is below the median intelligence.

Not false. Median is a type of average. He never said half the population is below the arithmetic mean.

How much you want to bet the water company didn't know the chemical name of water is dihydrogen monoxide? Otherwise they could have explained to the callers that dihydrogen monoxide is, in fact, water and they were simply victims of an April Fool's joke. But that doesn't seem to be the path that was taken.
You bring up an excellent point, papaf. The accuracy of the empirical force fields used in molecular dynamics simulation engines (such as Gromacs) is a hotly debated topic. Even without quantum computing the issue can be addressed with conventional computers that perform quantum mechanical calculations on interacting molecular fragments. The forces calculated from quantum mechanics can then be compared with those calculated from molecular dynamics force fields (as an example see Sherrill et al. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jcc.21226/full ). Such studied have shown that current force fields fail to model certain chemical interactions and need improved. Specifically, the underlying functional forms used to model molecular forces need revised.

Currently such investigations are limited in scope by the large computational resources required to perform a single quantum mechanical calculation on a molecular fragment. With quantum computers, tens of thousands of such calculations could be performed and the results could be used to optimize new molecular force fields through multivariate regression.
