Have a look at Native Oberon and AOS, both desktop operating systems developed at Zurich's technical university.

They are done in GC enabled systems programming languages and were used both as desktop systems by the teachers, as well as to teach operating systems classes.

Quite nice desktop environments using strong typed languages, but offering a Smalltalk like user experience.

The problem with any systems programming language is that it is only used as such, if an OS vendor makes it the only way to do OS programming. Like Microsoft does with C++ or Apple with Objective-C.
Market yourself correctly. Most people don't care about doing this, so they miss out. But those who do, well, really benefit. I'm on my way to doubling last year's net profits through plain and simple marketing. Its not hard, and doesn't even take much time. Does make a world of differend (in the bank account).
I don't think being able to distinguish right and wrong is sufficient to say that somebody has a conscience. They also have to care. In particular, sociopaths are characterized by a lack of empathy and remorse, not by a lack of understanding.

Anyhow, if you tend a little in that direction, you're an asshole. A lot, and you're a sociopath. That's my view, anyhow.
Ah, I got confused with what exactly you meant. This is indeed an actual problem, but it's one with an easy solution: you just make each backend process listen on multiple ports, and list them all as separate entries in the nginx's upstream{} section for that backend. One backend with 1024 ports open = 67M connections nginx can make to that backend.

Again, you're not "using up" local ports, just (IP/port, IP/port) pairs--so increasing the number of remote ports you want to talk to allows you to make more connections just as well as if you could increase the number of local ports used to talk to them.

(This might not be so simple for some servers which expect to only listen on one port; the workaround is to use multiple IPs for the backend server, and make sure the backend process is listening on 0.0.0.0. They don't have to be real IPs--you can just as well do port-forwarding on the backend box from one-IP:lots-of-ports to lots-of-virtual-IPs:one-port. It's simple enough to listen on multiple ports in both Node and Erlang, though, so this probably doesn't matter for most people writing websocket servers.)

I agree, the U test is very hard. I spent many days trying to make a working 2D approximation with cellular automata, but I couldn't find any way to make the pressure propagation fast enough. The water would eventually level out on both sides of the U, but it took a very long time to do it.
I really liked their idea of a "precation", two weeks of paid vacation before you start:

"At 42floors, we heavily, heavily recommend that all new people take two weeks of vacation starting exactly on their first official day. What this means is that when you get a job offer from us, you’ll pick a start date. And that’s the day we start your payroll. And that’s the day you leave for vacation.

And you get to take that time to transition from one chapter of your life to the next. If your startup just failed or you hated your last job, you get a couple weeks of mental and physical recovery. If you have a significant other that’s been dying to get away with you, you can go away someplace nice knowing that your first paycheck will be waiting for you when you return."
Yeah, it sounds like the perfect kind of Q-learning problem.
GitHub: nosniff header support coming to Chrome and Firefox
Mind Management, Not Time Management (2012)
The original (http://codepen.io/stuffit/pen/KrAwx) feels much more responsive (when feeding the same dimensions -- 114,53 -- as what your version uses), tested on Firefox 19.0.2 and Chrome 26.0.1410.65
It really depends how you read it. I read the hook as getting a non technical person to explain the product so the benefits are communicated in layman's terms. Most people don't have a partner in the same profession, so it's simply a situational occurrence that it ended up as "girlfriend". It could just have easily been a woman getting her non-techy boyfriend to explain it, which would equally have been a non-issue.
"drag" is a misnomer then. It's like that so that you can play with the cloth some before destroying it. The interaction probably could be better though.
You will probably have a really hard time getting to work on essential parts of the rocket due to ITAR regulations [0].

One feature I miss the most in nginx is a dynamic loading of modules. I wonder if this is anywhere on a roadmap, or is there some deeper reason for such limitation?

Does anyone have any examples of any films actually getting made from crowd sourcing? I would guess this and Veronica Mars stand a good chance since the people involved have made movies before and have built-in fan bases, but I am not aware of any actually working out so far.

I donated to one years ago (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Swarm_of_Angels) and that went nowhere...
Ah yeah that's a good one. I've also heard it's possible in Austin and Portland.
It surely costs Apple a lot more than $8 million to have so many of their developers engaged in WWDC, both during the event and before, preparing for it.
I don't think passion is limited to fighting for civil rights.

But you're right in that I do talk about startups as a mission. And that's because a startup's default result is failing. It takes extraordinary efforts to avoid that default result and very, very few ever make it.

For what it's worth, I worked for 5 years running a non-profit as well. Loved that job too. I don't find passionate work to be limited to either startups or non-profits.
You might get a spike in traffic when the game is on, so consider making one for the US version. But otherwise it will only be useful in the niche case where someone with a rare winning token got in on the last days and couldn't buy more to find the common matching tokens.
Everyone is quick to blame only Reddit -- and they certainly deserve a great deal of it, collectively. But I think we should look at laying part of the blame on the professional investigators themselves, too. They clearly knew who they were looking for long before they released any useable information, and I think they should have taken more initiative to explicitly eliminate Reddit suspects they knew were not involved. They could have easily issued a brief statement definitely stating they cleared Sunil Tripath, for example, without releasing information on the identities of the actual bombers. Same goes for the two innocent guys that were featured on the front page of the NY Post.

The investigators did a terrific job, and I don't want to put down anything they did. And maybe I'm being naive and this would be a slippery slope. But I still think some of these specific false accusations could have been mitigated very easily.
I think you're right on both these points - your point about commitment is our CEO's lead hypothesis, which I definitely did not capture as articulately as this.
Yeah, my boss takes days off all the time (and deservedly so), but I'm accruing "use or lose" days at a scary rate now and I have no vacation plan in sight other than a few days in May for family and a week in July for family.

Edit: And to be clear, I think this has been and will continue to be detrimental to my work product overall, the only reason I haven't taken a break yet is being I'm triple-hatted for now until July or so. By then I'll have a chance to think about what I want to do with my break, I hope.
Just installed Nightly to test this out. It doesn't work. Just sits there blinking "Seeing how much your system can handle..." with no growing cloth in the background.

Opened up FireBug; the console had the following error at line 18 of renderer.js:

EDIT: It doesn't work in FF 20.0.1 either... Win 7
What matters in this case is having a mission, not the specifics of what the mission is. That's what makes vacations tough - the trip can cause the same frustration that a speed bump does for drivers.
It uses AES (symmetric key cryptography) with a 256 bit key (which they refer to as a 32-character "secret").
It seems like the cloth in this version has much higher tension so it doesn't respond as much when you pull on it.
woot! here's to hoping we get support for regional redundancy in the US soon.

According to this comment[1], that isn't exactly accurate.

I love the user interface.

My feeling about the algorithm is that it works really well on some stories and poorly on others. For instance, how can you extract 3 salient points from "10 Tens To Spam The Web With A Top Ten List"?

Anyway, a key to advances in practical A.I. is being able to change the problem definition to something that is doable AND serves a need. Competitions like Kaggle and TREC attract smart and hard-working competitors but make a real advance only once every couple of years.

You want to beat the odds, rather than summarizing anything that comes down the pipe, you can throw out any articles that don't summarize well. If you could get rid of 50% of the strikeouts it would look much better and if you got rid of 80% it's going to be better than a committee of mechanical turks.

Shoot me a line if you want some help making this work.
That means your browser doesn't have WebGL available. If you're on Nightly, that probably means your GPU is blacklisted. Type about:support into your address bar to see details.
The First reason is because it gathers everything that concerns you in one place.
You can have your browsing history, your geolocation history, your purchase receipt, your account statements... anything that concerns you and that you could automatically receive from third party. There is also data you produce your like your holiday pictures, your running itinerary and performance...
This is very convenient simply to access it, but the real value lies in letting users total control and freedom in the way they decide to use it.
There is no restriction for the user to access its data, no restrictive API, it's there and ready to be used. Programmers can develop their own tools to do quantified-self for instande and mashup any data they want. Also applications can develop like for instance, a "travel" app. Everything related to your travel, from pictures, to receipts to persons you met are in your private cloud, and this hypothetical app would be a way to remind a journey differently. Because everything run in your personal place you control, there is no need to communicate your data in many case hence the bonus for privacy.
That doesn't mean you isolate yourself from companies, data disclosure project aims to give users a way to correct information companies hold on the user, to update their information in one place, and to let them remove information they don't want. More trust is good for business. Users could decide to share more data with companies and receive discounts, or directly give feedback on the product.
Ultimately it is all about giving users the same tools that companies have to deal with the relationship. It brings more transparency and control over privacy.
If I sparked your curiosity, I highly recommend you reading about project VRM by Doc Searls, and visiting the Personal Data Ecosystem Consortum. All this could seem crazy right know but this is really happening pushed by government's Data disclosure projects. The U.K. already made compulsory for some industry(energy, telecommunication..) to disclose personal data to empower users.
Okay, I sort of get what you're saying but what if it was a gay man saying my boyfriend made this? Or a woman saying my boyfriend made this? What if it was his mom who made the video? Does that still invoke sex appeal to you? The problem here seems to be with your reaction to the word girlfriend and not actually based on anything other than her gender and status. I agree that the girlfriend part could have been left out of the title, but I also don't think it ruins the integrity of this posting at all.
works well for me in chrome / os x.
Used the 'a' key to cut / tear.

Cool demo! I don't know much about this sort of stuff, could you talk about what's going on in the vertlet.js file a bit?
Yeah, and VM was $35 for the tee plus movie. Which personally seems to value the movie itself rather low.
The "clickworkers" comment at the bottom reminds me of https://www.zooniverse.org/ which is still ongoing. You can sign up, and they quickly train you to sort and catalogue various kinds of images including moon craters, weather patterns, galaxies, etc.
You make a very excellent point concerning virtual goods above all else. That one point specifically concerns me. I should read the bill to see if virtual goods are explicitly exempted, or classified as a taxable item. Of course, one could argue about whether or not such 'virtual' goods exist--if they didn't, we wouldn't be able to talk about them.

Regarding your other points, the bill requires all tax collections to go through a single entity for each taxing state/territory. You don't file taxes with every jurisdiction.
Not that smackfu.
My girlfriend thinks you're wrong. So by law of girlfriends and internet, I should get a lot of votes for this comment
Cute girl? Check. Start-up related? Check. 90 seconds? Check. Congrats, you've got exactly what HN is looking for in a front-page post.
Ah yes, but then people will think you're pandering to the Evil Denizens of Political Correctness that are ruining discourse on the Internet.

In short, you can't win with everybody no matter what you do. :-/
the term you are looking for is "significant other".
Good point, last-minute regression. It's been fixed.
To find someone who possess both skill and endurance is exceedingly rare.

That seems to be an age thing, at least in my experience. Skill goes up. Endurance doesn't go down per se, at least in the ages that we're talking about, but it gets a lot more selective.

I can do a long day (14+ hours) if needed, but I'm only 29 and I'm already up at 5-6 every morning. If I worked at a company that expected the workday to continue past 9pm (and I did work at once of those when I was younger) there's no way I'd be able to do it.
> We should not react to such news at all, it would solve the terrorist problem and the economic issues in one go.

That isn't how markets work and, more importantly, if you were to institute some policy that forced them to work that way, you'd get less liquidity. In my opinion, these shocks are a sign that the market is actually working properly.

As an aside, I know a lot of people who faded the move (remember, you have a choice!) and made quite a bit of money (smallest number I heard was $50k).
Payvment Pulls the Plug on Facebook Commerce
The fact that this was about Game of Thrones was enough for me to get excited about it, however, it was very easy to follow, and covered quite a bit for such a short 'tutorial'. Thanks!
Knoxville, TN.

Granted, if you've only been programming for five years you're probably going to only be looking at 80K if you're good (50-60 if you're merely okay). But 100-120 with ten years experience is in the range of what I've seen locally.

Also, you'll need to know .Net or Java.

Edit: Also, TN has no state income tax.
They were paying attention. Exporting to flash would have been a huge coup for Unity. The adoption of their plugin is slow. Being able to leverage the flash player would make it an actual, viable solution for game companies now, not after the several years it would take for the Unity plugin to reach critical mass.
My question is what happens if a state's API is down? Are the businesses supposed to eat the cost of whatever tax will be charged? Would the transactions be allowed? It seems like a decent idea, but there is potential for disaster depending on the implementation.
It should be. New languages should take a hard, firm but fair, stance on style when they are first created. It is the only opportunity they will get. You can always loosen it later if you really feel the need, but you can't tighten it later on (evidenced by attitudes exactly like yours.) I mean, unless you like endless style flamewars and bickering...

Even ignoring that benefit, taking a stance on style like Go has done allows style to be handled mechanically, which is more in line with the general hacker attitude anyway. Offload that stuff to the computer; let the programmer concentrate on doing the things the computer can't.
From a legal standpoint: Does this now comply with the EU (German?) data privacy laws?
I was told the other day, that using Heroku was a No-No, because you are storing your customer data with a non-EU-compliant company outside the EU. With this, the data resides in the EU. Does this (magically) make my troubles go away?

Remarks: I am totally not a lawyer
Well the adage is, the closer you are to where money comes into the company the more you can make. Most sales jobs are also commission based which means if a sales person is making a lot of money the company also made a lot of money.
This works as long as the player doesn't notice. Counterexample: the Watson NPC in the Sherlock Holmes Nemesis game, http://youtu.be/13YlEPwOfmk
A new medium, perhaps. Not a new strategy.
No idea what you mean. It's just as fast, if not faster, for me. I don't know what that one does (haven't looked at the code), but it's cloth interaction is more powerful so it's probably just an interaction difference. I liked a softer interaction, but moving the mouse fast if you want to blow it up.

EDIT: I shouldn't have said "no idea". There is one reason I can think of -- this uses WebGL, so if you have a bad card or drivers this might be slower. My algorithms might be more precise too, I don't know the other code.

EDIT2: A coworker just mentioned that I should turn off antialiasing (it's on by default) and that should help a lot of machines. Also optimized WebGL a few other ways.
From what I understand the state must provide free software to perform the needed accounting, or something to that effect.

An API would be even better, of course, but I suspect the free market will have to do that...
My wife really liked this link.

The press releases talk about them not being Safe Harbour yet but it is now much more in progress. Your data may pass through the US still at presently.
Here's even more:

- Site should work even if the page is zoomed in (e.g., visually impaired people may do this). There are two kind of zooms in browsers, one zooms the whole page pixel by pixel. The other one zooms only fonts. It is usually tricky to get the font zooming look good.

- Icons and images should look good in high resolution retina screens. Bitmap graphics have a tendency to look pixelated in retina screens if not done properly. See http://www.html5rocks.com/en/mobile/high-dpi/
and http://www.html5rocks.com/en/mobile/easy-high-dpi-images/

- Some people use Screen Readers to browse the web. The web site should have easy navigation and have text for all non-textual content. See http://webaim.org/techniques/screenreader/

Also, you already mention responsive design for various screen sizes. You could mention that it means the pages should look ok on tablets and phones.

EDIT: I just can't stop... one more thing: The page should load fast even for users who are using 3G networks
I'm the first one to rant about this -- not very happy.

But you have an excellent point. The software provider feature could be a life-saver.

Of course, many times these things look very different in bill form than when deployed. This sounds very similar to a "magic cloud" that exists in many architecture diagrams :)

ADD: And if you're looking at software providers, I'd be interested in running the numbers to see how their business model would work. They'd have to take payment. They'd have to be bonded. They'd have to collect from the states, provide a categorization system, keep files updated, file paperwork along with monies. Would they have to work internationally? Be categorized as a money Exchanger by treasury department? It doesn't sound cheap. But it certainly sounds like something Amazon would be happy to provide as an API.
From the "Safe Harbor Compliance is Coming Soon" section:

Heroku is not yet a registered participant in the Safe
Harbor program. We’ve laid the groundwork for becoming
Safe Harbor certified and expect to have it soon. The
Europe region public beta is designed to let you build
high-performance apps for European users. It does not
currently address data residency or jurisdiction concerns.
You should assume that some portions of your app and its
data will be in, or pass through, datacenters located in
the US.

Heroku is not (yet) safe harbor compliant, but we have plans to be so.

Weird to see all the comments criticizing the mention of Steve Jobs and the use of the word parable instead of people just concentrating on what this post is about, just an anecdote that may or not relate to your leadership style. Who cares of who made it and yes I understand the title was modified to sound more appealing but everything in life is modified to attract attention.
You need Firefox Aurora or Nightly (which will be Firefox 22 and 23) for asm.js support, without which the demo will be several times slower than it could be. (I have no idea whether it should match the speed of the original in browsers that don't support asm.js or not.)
