> you are describing the upper elite of our demographic group (of which i am also a member) as somehow the mode or the mean for 'asians', and i am cautioning you against that.

I'm not describing it as the mode or the mean. I'm saying that, per my anecdotal experience, asian kids at any given income level are less likely to turn out with serious problems than other kids at the same income level.

> it's really easy to be 'proud' of achievement and cheerlead and go "look at us aren't we great"

I'm not cheerleading. I don't even identify as "asian" in any meaningful sense. My point is to address the myth that raising good kids means sacrificing your time to go to their school plays and little league games and whatnot. I use asians as an example not to cheerlead, but because that myth is far less prevalent among immigrant asian parents.

> especially in the context of your elite east coast schooling which you prattle on about so boastfully.

There's nothing elite about it, it's a public school. I mention it because: 1) it's got a race-blind admissions system, unlike elite colleges, so the asian population isn't artificially deflated; 2) it's a pretty stark example of asian over-representation, in a county where the median household income for asians, while high, is actually less than that for whites by a substantial margin. I also specifically mention the "east coast" part, because in my experience east coast asians are far less assimilated than west coast asians, as there is a far smaller population of asians who have been in the U.S. for generations.

Again, this article was a criticism directed at Sheryl Sandberg, implying that she gave her kids a compromised upbringing by not making them her only priority. And I think that's a load of crap.
I thought the same thing.

In my minds eye I don't see a nice place to stuff views. Module specific ones could live inside the module but Rails has layouts and also typically has shared views.

Sinatra would be a good framework to play around with this structure.
Disable autoplay on the video. I always close a window if there is noise that I did not make happen through a button click, <PLAY> link etc. Regardless of the presence of the pause button, I hate "auto-noise" on web pages.

Because of that, I cannot review your startup.

Others might be able to though.
Agreed.

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.

I'm not a miner, so correct me if I'm wrong, but that seems like a bit of an apples-to-oranges comparison. Tesla cards (and the servers designed around them) are intended for specific use cases: mission-critical enterprise solutions and scientific HPC. As a result, they run slower processor and memory speeds in comparison to nVidia's own consumer products, use ECC memory, and are optimized for double-precision over single-precision performance. Mining with a Tesla is like gaming with a Quadro card.

Because a community backlash might make some developers think twice before building something awesome like this.
Sure, there is a city council, and of course they can lose elections. Unfortunately people aren't that involved with local politics, in a city where the democratic nominee is likely to win. In the 2009 general election for mayor voter turnout was 18.4% here in NYC. Bloomberg only won that third term by 4.4 points.

Overall you're right, New Yorkers don't hate Bloomberg, he's done quite a bit that lots of people like. I certainly don't hate him, but I do have many problems with him.
All this says to me is that Silicon Valley success has more to do with who you know that what you do.
The rumor would presumably help him because it would discourage his clients from committing crimes, because they would be under additional scrutiny from law enforcement. It seems unlikely that it would actually matter though, since law enforcement already has a database of convicted felons that they go to first for crimes.
I'd estimate the investment by YC as more like $50k per company. ~$20k in cash, and then $30k or so in costs (partner time, meals, etc.), as an upper bound.

That's still an essentially trivial amount of money for the return YC receives.
Yeah, given a predictable access pattern, latency can be completely hidden by prefetching. For an unpredictable access pattern, there's a physically imposed lower bound on random access latency, roughly proportional to the square root of the number of bits stored.

There's a huge tradeoff space between latency, bandwidth, capacity, and cost, and market forces have forced a convergence around 2 design points, colloquially DDR and GDDR. For yield reasons, die area (cost) has been mostly fixed for a long time. Successive generations of DDR spend the dividends of Moore's Law primarily on extra capacity, then on a bit of additional bandwidth when possible. Successive of generations of GDDR prioritize bandwidth, primarily by dedicating tons of area to high-speed single-ended I/Os.

These two design points make sense for their most common use cases. In traditional disk-based systems, avoiding hitting the disk is more important than absolute DRAM latency, so increasing capacity is your best bet. On GPUs, you need enough bandwidth to feed a quickly growing number of functional units on the chip, and at least for graphics, the access pattern can be made to be extremely predictable, so latency is not as important there.

The advent of faster-than-HDD persistent storage (SSDs) and the desire to run more general purpose workloads on highly parallel machines like GPUs points to a need for a third DRAM design point.
Advise: Hard Times And Focus
At a previous job we used scientific words, with the exception that our boss had to be able to spell it at 3am if he got paged.

Lots of fun names there, but the best were the HA or failover pairs. Proton/Neutron, Concave/Convex, Diffusion/Effusion.
Thank you, Wonderful idea!

I've tried the Github app, but it's too focused on the SCM - I can do that on the command line, thanks..

But managing bugs, that's something where an app is great!

On my phone, I use Github:Issues- This is a great desktop compliment.
"A hard date that must be met. You need something to announce at a conference. A new tax law is in place. And so on." that's the only event I would label as a deadline, and these real deadlines don't happen often. The rest are artificial and could be goals rather than stressful deadlines...
Yes, but what about those "lucky" developers who live in countries where selling apps is not available in both - apple appstore and google play markets?

Are there any other channels for selling apps?

I "Ask HN"-ed this but didn't get much attention...
Anyone Can Be Found on Social Media in 12 Hours
This really is the right idea but it's unlikely that we're gonna get people to change how they take in their news and how they will react to it.
The adoption of commodity apps is now completely driven by fashion. There's no "best" photo sharing or video sharing App - what you use (snapchat vs. instagram vs. facebook vs. flicker vs. 500px...) is completely dependent on your sense of taste, and how the App is perceived by your peers and in the culture.

There is no "best" social network in the same sense that there's no "best" pair of jeans for everyone.
Hey everyone!

I'm the developer, thanks for the comments so far. I launched the original iPad app (as a learning experience) about a year ago, and received a lot of requests for a Mac app.

One quick problem some people are running into that I'd like to address is organizations. Some people are reporting organization repositories are not being listed for them. If you type in the full repo name (that is: "orgname/reponame") you should still be able to add it, otherwise you can use the "quick open" feature and just paste in a GitHub URL for that repo.

I hope to hear all your thoughts and criticisms. Here are some promo codes for the new Mac app!

Doesn't Apple only let those who have purchased write a review? If so, the gross number of reviews may give some idea of how many have purchased the app (ignoring price fluctuations, etc)
> I used to use Flickr for photo sharing, but cameras got better, images got bigger, and I have a lot of photos.

Why is this a problem with Flickr? I am generally shooting high res full frame, and post to Flickr. I have about a terabyte of images. There's no 100GB storage limit, just an annual flat fee.

Family can download full resolution images for printing. My grandmother can have my Flickr Photo Stream as a screensaver in her TV. I also enjoy fantastic two way integration with photo management tools, with tagging syncing back.

I can't see why I'd pay Dropbox considerably more for less features.

(What's more, if Flickr doesn't like a public photo's content, the worst that will happen is getting marked "not in public search areas", with an easy redress to get reinstated. It's unclear to me what Dropbox will do. Meanwhile, if Google doesn't like a public photo, I can lose my Google Account, as photogs have found to their chagrin.)
Don't forget Angel and systemd :)
There's nothing wrong with asking people what they want, the value that you're supposed to add is to realize that there's a better option than faster horses.
I'm going to be doing a similar writeup as my app launches in 2 weeks. I've got a small budget. All the design+dev was me, but I'm spending about $300-$400 on marketing. We'll see how that goes.

If anything I believe you should be spending more on marketing nowadays. There's no real way, at least to my knowledge, to search for a niche hole with keywords. I do, however, like to think of an app idea and then spend an hour search various keywords and seeing the results/competition. https://appstorerankings.net/ is a good website to find the keywords of an app. I combined common keywords in the app that I'm releasing with common keywords that are missing among competitors that yield few results.

Again, I haven't launched this app (my 7th) yet, but I'll be doing some analysis of its success using the marketing budget and keyword research.
Yes, but oxygen's pretty easy to come by it turns out.
Sounds to me like pressure cookers are quite the danger. I say we implement rigorous background checks before allowing their purchase, keep a database of all purchased pressure cookers, require mandatory training and a seven day waiting period before purchase, and require mandatory lid locks. Also, any pressure cooker with a pistol grip or bayonet lug is clearly an assault cooker and must be banned.
GitHub Enterprise is not supported yet, but it has been the most requested feature and is going to be high on my todo list.
Leverage is tricky though. Derivatives markets are orders of magnitude smaller than the stock market so setting up a big trade there would probably be as/nearly as visible as setting up a gigantic short on DOW stocks.
Thanks for the suggestion! I just did, and looks like SparkleShare may not be a good tool if you have very large files (GBs).
Hacked AP Twitter feed reporting fake White House attack rocks markets
Look What the Hacked AP Tweet About White House Bombs Did to the Market
Yeah, I'm definitely intrigued. But. This seems like something that really needs a free demo. I feel like I'm constantly checking out productivity tools like this and I really need to feel whether they actually fit into my workflow before I pay money. Or else it'd simply be too expensive to pay for each one just to try 'em out.

A related thought:

Having a free demo version might actually let you charge more for the full app. If I try something out and it really does save me even just a very small amount of time or headache each day, I'll pay $100 for it. Or more. Making my work life just a little bit easier is worth a substantial amount of money to me. You would be providing a valuable service and I'd pay you well for it.

but does it do RPN? As someone who survived engineering school with a hp32s I sometimes miss the rpn entry notation. That calculator could do integration which was awesome.

(RPN was an entry system that used a stack. you pushed the number on the stack with enter, so to do 4+5, you'd type 4 enter 5 enter then + and the calc would show 9. entering more numbers would push the 9 onto the stack. Tricky at first but after a while you couldn't go back. No equals key.

I was a civil engineer but when I started learning computer science the whole stack concept was clear.

The $80k or $150k is independent of YC, so it doesn't affect YC's returns.

The terms for the $80k or $150k were incredibly favorable; essentially uncapped/no discount and would inherit the cap of the next round of financing.
Thank you for the feedback! I actually goofed up when submitting the app, and it went live before I was ready... so I ended up spending last night hacking together the website!

Christ, the responses on here are absolutely what you'd expect from anyone remotely connected with the Ruby "community" - or at least a bunch of people who don't have sufficient experience with Java to comment on whether a fluent API is an improvement on the Apache HttpClient API, or HttpURLConnection (God help us, despite what Android devs think). When you've finished pissing on the colour scheme, or questioning whether the logo is a "rip off" (clue: used by permission), perhaps you can all go back to upgrading Rails, or stacking your gems in reverse version-number order, or whatever it is you do.

Also - Java. It's the FIFTH word on the page reading Western-style. How the hell can you miss it? Too eager to get to the comments tab?

I accept that a price has to be paid for performance.

However I believe that a substantial amount of verbosity could be removed without impacting said performance. In fact C++11 removes some with type deduction.

I also get tired of typing some_big_type foo = some_big_type(); - is there a way to say, "I want this thing, and I want it to get the obvious default initialization?" Because what I type now is straight from the redundant department of redundancy department. (Yes, a typedef can make that shorter. You still write the idea twice.)
Well, one reason is that parachutes at this scale aren't that simple. For instance, check out the ones on the Shuttle SRBs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_Solid_Rocket_Boos...
For years, I used daemontools (it still runs a bunch of machines) then moved to runit, which follows the same philosophy. Both are excellent tools and have worked extremely well under many different circumstances. Simple
tools that do one thing extremely well. Every managed service requires a short, 1 to 3 line, script to actually start the target program, which may, initially, seem off-putting, but actually provides the often missing opportunity to easily customize the program environment.

BTW, runit also comes with svlogd and chpst, both of which have frequently proved invaluable. The latter is useful in its own right.

Most of the tools discussed either lack flexibility, try to do too much, or simply don't offer any benefits over runit and company.
I've some feedback for you:

- when opening a repository it doesn't list the private ones. (though you can open it by putting its name manually)

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/transporterguy/transport...
The name alone of this project is very frustrating. As pointed out, there is ruby application server named Unicorn that is quite popular. The ruby application server has the exact same logo except this project chose to flip the logo. This is intentionally confusing. I might be able to appreciate this library if they chose a different name and image, but I can't support a project that is intentionally leading to confusion. It is so bad that it seems like this project is trying to be an imposter of an original project. Is there no shame in open source?
Did you used original French names (Tintin, Milou, Haddock, Tournesol, Dupont & Dupond) or English ones (Tintin, Snowy, Haddock, Calculus, Thomson & Thompson)?

Infants wake when hungry, so duration of sleep begins as a function of stomach capacity. Within a month your daughter should be sleeping six hours a night at least.

Meanwhile, if your wife is expressing milk, you should share the small hours duty: spell her for a couple of nights to let her make a dent in her sleep deficit. (I confess that I did not, but I was not asked to.) And sometimes, the infant just needs to be walked around for 10 or 15 minutes--you can do that part.

For future reference, if you want to link to an interesting post rather than ask us a question, you really should submit it as a link rather than as an Ask HN submission. Ask HN submissions are poorly suited for this task — they're penalized in the rankings and URLs in Ask HNs aren't transformed into hyperlinks.

Something like a one repository limit would work well for me; enough to really get the feel, no real risk since I just revert to the web interface if I don't like it, but if it's good I'd definitely want to use it with more repositories.
The challenge is that a date for the rest of the company to plan around has a tendency to become a hard date once the rest of the company has planned around it. This frequently has real impacts on everyone else.

Also the frequency of real deadlines depends on what you do. My neighbor is a project manager at JPL. They have a lot of deadlines and all are hard - you're either ready for the rocket launch or you're not.
