Why would anyone want to "need to work for money" at her peak?
Regarding business model and monetizing, here are some ideas:

1. You could sell tutorials and ebooks on regexes. People who use your tool might want to understand why their regexes are not working.

2. You could license your debugging code/technology.

3. You could sell a corporate license to use your site. Corps’s regexes won't be shared publicly. Others might be. Corps paranoid about people stealing their regexes might be interested in your product.

4. You could ask for donations to support the site.

5. You could make it social. Have people vote on regexes. Have another complementary site where people contribute test-cases for common regexes like phone numbers, dates, email addresses. You could hold competitions in different categories.

6. You could offer a cloud-based regex parser. I know it sounds a bit absurd, but I want to throw this out there in case it leads to other neat ideas.

7. You could save regexes and have people vote them up. You could have discussion threads around regexes.
Pointfree makes more sense for a definition, I think:

sumFileLines = print . sum . map read . lines <=< readFile

Less so inline because of the excessive parentheses or ($).
> Or incompetent people are successful because the barrier to success is highly arbitrary and only somewhat correlates to competence which is much less encouraging.

I think this is the case, which on the surface can be depressing. But it can also mean that if you can just stick it out longer than most other people do, and plant more seeds, it's only a matter of time until you get lucky.
So because two blog posts suggest that the upper management of one of the most important market operators in the world --- one without which those farmers would probably be screwed, by the way --- anybody who in the past worked at CME must be suspicious? Because that's what you're asserting.

The weird thing about this comment is that you appear to have researched it. You researched an attempt to defame another commenter on HN.
Op, have demonstrated your expertise. Nicely done. Thanks jdnier for the example.
"⌘" is for menu commands.
"option" is a modifier.
"control" was originally introduced for contextual menu ("right click"), and also provides EMACS-like shortcuts (Ctrl+A = Home, Ctrl+E = End, etc.).

So in fact, it is simpler because you don't have Home/End/PageUp/PageDown/Insert/Delete keys. It also avoids overloading the same key with commands and editing shortcuts.
Ask HN: Would you find this developer service useful?
As a developer I've had other developers and designers ask for help solving bugs in their projects. When I respond with advice many times I get the response that they don't want suggestions and they are willing to just pay me to solve it for them. So I've started work on a project where people could find professionals on github to solve well defined problems with success criteria. It would basically be like elance highly targeted towards developers. You can come to get issues and small projects solved and also come to make money helping others out. Was wondering if others would find this useful?
When it's actually got a foundation in math, it stops being a racist trope and becomes a valid scientific inquiry.

The situation where shelves are cleared and shipped to China happens here in New Zealand. What's interesting about it is that the scandal of contaminated milk started with a subsidiary of Fonterta, called Sanlu. Fonterra blew the whistle on their crappy practices.

#2 was the reason we used the beaglebone on a project that requires high-rate sampling - the PRU made it possible to what we needed with almost no additional hardware (normally you'd need an extra microcontroller or FPGA)

If/when it gets easier to develop for I think it helps make beaglebone/am335x a really attractive option for a lot of uses.

Gradle would do well to ship with other languages to increase share with those who want to use a more professional language with it. The big problem with browsers is they're limited to Javascript.
It's worrying how this keeps getting upvoted despite having been debunked before it even hit HN, and the top comments on both HN and the original post pointing to the article that debunks it.

This is one scenario in which HN could really use downvotes.

A few of my personal favorites:

Trust us, Lisp was hyped (I worked for "the other Lisp Machine company" in the early '80s). Albeit perhaps not as much as Ada.

One big thing to consider about the normal Lisp and Smalltalk implementation style vs. C and Clojure by virtue of it running on top of the JVM (and CLR, and for the Javascript version I hope it inherited a lot of this) is that the former are "take over the world" approaches, back in those days and still a lot today (e.g. SBCL) implemented by dumping an image to memory and restoring that when you want to run it.

Whereas C is very much a building blocks approach, and within the JVM Clojure is as well. E.g. for the latter the popular Leiningen tool uses directives like

:dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.4.0"]

[clj-time "0.4.4"]
[etc.]

And known repositories to pick up the corresponding .jar files. Java and any other language that fits into the JVM ecosystem is an equal player on the JVM with Clojure, and it defers to Java for things the latter already does quite well enough.

This sort of approach, which in the case of Java and Clojure is NOT Worse is Better/The New Jersey Way, seems to have survival characteristics.

Hard to determine how much this was a factor vs. performance, C being a general purpose portable assembler. After UNIX(TM) and C grew up on tiny machines, we then largely squeezed into barely larger ones, the 8086 and 68000 based ones when DRAM was still pretty dear. Or for "engineering workstations", I'm told a non-common, although not all that good configuration early on was one Sun with a hard drive and 2-3 diskless ones all sharing the drive.
I like both operating systems. iCloud on all my Apple devices makes life easier. On the other hand, my Windows 7 and Xbox 360 have no type of integration, but can run certain programs a lot better. They both have their perks, and I will still use both types.

But on Linux, if you carefully select window managers and programs, you'll have an easy answer to GP's questions "Anyone know the thinking behind this? Is it for historical reasons?"

The answer is, "sure, I know the thinking behind this".

I use Awesome WM. And I have configured practically every program I use. So, window management -> Windows (Super) modifer; editors -> Ctrl; Menubar -> Alt (can't change that); Funny chars -> AltGr (US International keyboard); Fn -> configured to whatever icon I see on the keyboard
4. You could ask for donations to support the site.

If you learn nothing else from Wikipedia, learn this: Begging annoys users and isn't particularly successful. He is far more likely to make money selling a premium subscription to corporate users. He can even just say "site is free for personal use, and corporate users must pay $495/year". You would be surprised at how many businesses are paranoid enough about compliance that they will voluntarily pay even if it is unlikely that the site owner would ever find out about their unauthorized corporate use.

There used to be an apple on the key as well as the command symbol. At least on my (very) old PPC iMac.
> And he presents it as "what I had trouble with", not "what's wrong with the Mac", which is commendable.

I couldn't agree more. Whenever I see a title like this my immediate thought is "here we go again", but I clicked through anyway and was pleasantly surprised.

I've never used Windows 8 (or 7/Vista for more than a few minutes), but his criticisms seemed well considered. Macs can be more expensive for the same amount of CPU. I expected he was going to be talking about the Mac Pros (which are based on what, 2010 hardware?) so I was a little surprised to see he was talking about laptops.

The other thing that caught my attention was his note about trackpads. It seems like every review I read about a non-Mac laptop (which, to be fair, doesn't happen much) seems to mention how they are either terrible or just OK. Considering how important the trackpad is on a laptop, it always surprises me that this seems to continue to be an issue.

I remember years ago when Macs had 3" trackpads and PCs still had tiny 2" models. My MacBook Pro has a 5" pad, but I've seen 17" desktop replacement laptops with 3" pads.

Worse was that while Macs gained two finger scrolling (which was a great step up), may PCs gained "scroll areas", so that you'd lose a large fraction of the trackpad. The fact that part of it was horizontal scrolling (which is far less common) was even worse.

Are trackpads in the non-Mac world really that far behind, or is it just selection bias where the few laptop reviews I read only mention the trackpad because it's bad and the rest don't even discuss it.
I use Twitter as a communication medium. G+ could work for that if it was used by anyone I wanted to communicate with regularly.

Or perhaps the seemingly incompetent people really aren't, and you just can't judge them well enough.

I see this happen quite a bit - someone derides company X because they are still using asp or php. What they're missing is that company X's customers don't care a whit what tech is used, they care about the solution. Therefore the company is judged as incompetent but really they're laughing all the way to the bank.
If you think that the world is basically a meritocracy, as I do, then seeing successful incompetents is actually very encouraging. Have you ever seen a startup with the world's stupidest idea raise million of dollars? Well if you have an actually decent idea, then it will be even easier for you to raise millions as well.

I was actually reading a post by Patrick McKenzie the other day and I think his commentary on this was one of the best I've seen. While it's encouraging and optimistic to think like this, the reality is that 90% of the time, mediocrity (or worse) is good enough. One example- most businesses run on poorly-engineered, shitty legacy software systems stitched together over time as a lineage of sucky-to-great programmers have come and gone and inherited each other's garbage amid changing requirements. Early in my career I noticed this and was brazen enough to think that there was obviously a much better way to engineer the software, so why didn't the executives see it? Over time I realized that I was naive- business managers care about increasing revenue and profits. Quality code and engineering doesn't even register on the radar.

Incompetence in engineering is just one area of incompetence. It is important to remember that incompetence in selling or networking, while probably a lot harder for one to see in oneself, can be just as detrimental to one's chances of success (perhaps more so). The point is that a crappy idea getting funding does not in any way indicate that a better idea is more likely to get funding.

I agree with you that it's no more difficult that a Windows PC.

It's just that when I moved to the Mac platform years ago, I found the general simplicity quite refreshing (yes, even the lack of a right-mouse button!) and was surprised that they hadn't done anything about the numerous keyboard modifiers.
Hearing about all these recent hacks (LinkedIn, RubyGems, LivingSocial) really makes me nervous and wonder how I can avoid hacks. Are there any details on how these systems were hacked in the first place, so that the rest of us can learn from the lessons? I already use as many security good practices as I can (bcrypt, processes and apps running under different user accounts and database accounts, read-only accounts, principle of least privilege, firewall, fail2ban, key-only SSH logins, file modification monitoring, forwarding logs to a log host, etc) but I can't shake off the feeling that I may be forgetting something.
Or just use Sequel already, works with all versions of Rails (and without Rails too).
Actually, can you explain that more? Since yahoo adjusted close says it takes dividends into account, I took that to be the same as immediately reinvesting your dividends in the same holding. You're saying that instead, it's the same as issuing the dividends as cash and then forgetting about it?

If so, then how do people actually backtest long term holdings to assume reinvested dividends? As far as free historical data sources, I thought it was basically yahoo or nothing.
Agreed.

When you look at them individually they don't look very similar. It's mainly the makeup that highlights the same parts of their faces so when they're flashed all together (eyes in the same spot) it wrongly appears they all look the same.
For me it doesn't really make a huge difference if plastic surgery or photoshop are the culprit. So these women don't actually all look like clones, they're just presented as clones; great.

If you're interested in doing web stuff with Elixir, check out Dynamo: https://github.com/elixir-lang/dynamo

It's a web framework developed and maintained by the Elixir core team, and I've had fun playing with it recently. It already supports a lot of the most common tasks when doing web development including request routing, parsing of parameters and cookies, and pre/post-request hooks.
That's one way of putting it. A rank of six implies that if all of the faces were represented by a matrix (e.g. with 20 rows, one for each face), the dimensionality of the column space would be six. That is, all 20 faces could be represented by linear combinations of six orthogonal faces.

OP implies that six "eigenfaces" faces represent an eigenbasis for the space of all 20 faces (that they are eigenfaces doesn't necessary imply that they form an eigenbasis, not every vector space has sufficient geometric multiplicity to have an eigenbasis).
Thank you for responding here!
It means that the faces can be described using only six uncorrelated parameters. Or to put it another way, there are only six axis of variations. Each face is a combination of the six eigenfaces, but there is still an infinity of different ways to combine these faces, and so an infinity of possible faces.

(Without a comparison to the general population, it's not obvious that 6 is a small number here, so take my "only" 6 cautiously)
Not sure where I said what he achieved was easy, but feel free to keep putting words in my mouth.

Your comment was insinuating that the success of Pixar's portfolio was somehow a testament to Jobs. Would it really have been any different had they gotten funding from a completely different source? You even said he didn't "meddle", so other than a financial investment, any credit awarded him for the quality of their work should be minimal.

There are plenty of things he can and should get credit for -- we don't need to retroactively add more.
We're mostly bottle feeding our 5 month old right now. She eats a lot (97th percentile height and weight), and there is no way pumping just twice a day would be enough. She tried to breastfeed and pump from day one, and it would take her forever just to get a couple of ounces out.

The baby still wakes up to eat twice at night, and I take the night feedings. It's a huge benefit for us to be able to do that, because my wife needs 6-7 hours of uninterrupted sleep to function the next day, while I don't. As for other chores, they're trivial and easily outsourced. If I couldn't take on some of the feedings, I just wouldn't be carrying my weight.

And for a career woman, starting out from day 1 with the husband taking a lesser role in child-rearing is a sure way to become the primary care giver and the one who will ultimately have to downshift if push comes to shove.

I'm glad it works for you, but it would be very inconvenient for us, and given the tenuous medical benefits of doing so it isn't worth it to try and make it work. And I think if doctors encouraged women, especially women with careers, to evaluate the costs and benefits of breastfeeding rationally instead of regurgitating highly unscientific dreck the way they do, a lot more women would bottle feed without feeling guilty about it.

What grates on me is that a lot of people who breastfeed make other decisions that endanger their children, totally guilt free. Living in a suburban area where driving is a necessity and it is common for teenagers to drive is going to have more of a practical impact on your child than whether you breastfeed or not.
