Totally agree on noise/signal issue, however ... well-thought out, validated ideas are precious. There's probably a small cache of such ideas that people are willing to share, but that'd be a very small cache. Not sure if it'd justify creation of a full-scale news or discussion site. If anything, it'd be more like a infrequent curated newsletter.

Is that truly equivalent? Consider:

$cmd1 || $cmd2 `$cmd3`

vs

$cmd1; or $cmd2 `$cmd3`

If 'or' is 'just a command', I would think the shell would evaluate $cmd3 before calling $cmd2. Or are 'and' and 'or' built-ins that are similar to Lisp special forms/Forth immediate words?

Edit: decided I wasn't that lazy today, and looked it up in the documentation. "and" and "or" are built-ins (http://fishshell.com/docs/2.0/commands.html#and, http://fishshell.com/docs/2.0/commands.html#or)
Isn't this .. old news?

Why keep posting this every two month or so? Would be better if there are improvements, major site using it to roll out etc.
Thanks. Re the redirects, yea I have a lot of work to do on my crawler, my current solution is hand rolled and only has limited capabilities. But if anybody knows of a good open source project let me know, i have been looking at using the common crawl but that's not a complete solution either.
The default bindings suck because (1) your control key is in the wrong place and (2) your meta key is in the wrong place. The first goes to the left of "A", the second underneath "/". Seriously: remap (getting meta right is hard, as keyboards aren't consistent about what they put there sadly) and try it again. When done right, your fingers stay closer to the home row than even vim (which requires frequent excursions to the shifted number row).
I downvoted you. I'm really tired of the single-word, zero-effort "sources" or "citation" meme. It's not wikipedia here, and it creates a hostile environment to demand every two-line comment to be sourced like an academic paper.

Please engage with the comment and ask for clarification if there's something you think is unclear. If you find something hard to believe, say so, and why. If you're just genuinely interested, ask for a book recommendation. But please write a full sentence.
:)

Not much to do in the meantime otherwise.

Pretty sure the allegation is that the parent only signed up to post a positive comment about codeschool, hence: spam.
Tip: You can disable subreddit styles in your profile. Makes the whole thing a lot nicer imo.
I would. But I'm very doubtful any (semi-)automated service can lick the boots of a competent and engaged Community Manager and bring anything but irrelevant noise on my social channel.

If, by some magic you've concocted, it works extremely well, I have no doubt you'd have many customers at even higher price points.

And, if it's not automated, I don't see you bringing any new value to already established business spheres.

Also, Social Media Management companies now do far more for the money paid, most powerful part not being news feed management, but entire online ads campaign handling.
Has anyone developed a user friendly encryption layer that works on top of Skype? PGP or otherwise. Skype is useful, and it would be nice to have the option to use it for private conversations.
Juju person here. Docker would be a nice enhancement for Juju. Currently we use LXC in our older version (.7 in python) for a local provider to deploy containers on your local laptop. The idea is being thrown around to instead use Docker containers in _every_ provider like EC2 and OpenStack. This would enable you to just move stuff around transparently, which is awesome.

The Juju team is keeping a close eye on Docker and it'll likely (but I can't promise) be in 13.10.

The use of differing tax laws between two or more countries to try to mitigate tax liability is probably as old as taxation itself. In Ancient Greece, some of the Greek Islands were used as depositories by the sea traders of the era to place their foreign goods to thus avoid the two-percent tax imposed by the city-state of Athens on imported goods. In 1721, American colonies traded from Latin America to avoid British taxes.

In addition, the pilgrims from the Mayflower Pilgrims were not individuals fleeing religious persecution, they were given a "patent" or license by the King of England to settle Virginia, they were actually corporate recruits and given stock in the company in exchange for the risk they took to settle the New World with all assets (crops, livestock, ect...) to be owned by the company.

I am not sure if sentiment about taxation has ever changed over time, going to the Bible and Jesus was betrayed by Judas, a tax collector, the disciples vilified Judas before he became a disciple. Then again Jesus himself in relation to taxation may have said render unto Caesar what is Caesar's for ours is the Kingdom of heaven. Sure you have people like Warren Buffet publicly claiming they are willing to pay more, but the reality is nothing is currently stopping him from paying more, he does not need a law mandating him to pay more, he could take it upon himself to pay a flat tax of 35% across the board, but he does not, he still pays less than his secretary. Otherwise as of late the US has helped lower corporate taxation through the advent of the "election to be taxed as a small corporation" (S-election) and the more recent advent of the LLC, both of which which offer a single taxation structure down from the double taxation of your standard corporation.
As a moderator on a popular forum I entirely agree.

Free speech is great so long as it doesn't descend into anarchy. And when that happens, you're effectively in a situation where nobody really gets chance to say anything because the forum is flooded with hate. So it sometimes takes a little weed killing to allow comments to fully blossom.

We should also bare in mind that there's a difference between hateful comments and trolling - which are only posted to offend, and unpopular or incorrect statements. Sometimes unpopular comments will lead to heated discussions; it's a pity when that happens, but that's sometimes unavoidable because humans are often passionate beings. But generally such comments shouldn't be down-voted (instead the helpful, insightful or correct arguments should be up-voted). The only comments that should be down-voted are the hateful and trolling remarks. And when it becomes clear that such remarks are inducing anarchy, then it's clear that stricter moderation is required to restore the balance so that everyone else doesn't have their freedom of speech removed due to the lack of an open discussion on the forum.
While the OS-specific keys are sometimes called super, they are not "super" in emacs terminology. Also, if you skim M-x describe-bindings you will find quite a few bindings beginning with s-.

EDIT: If you really want access to a less crowded namespace, using (global-set-key "\C-z" nil) to free up the c-z prefix and binding Hyper are popular.

If you are feeling a little confined, key chord[1] will allow you to get creative with your bindings.

[1] http://www.emacswiki.org/KeyChord
There's formal processes for formulating ideas. Loosely described as "the creative process" or "design thinking" which to me largely mimic the Waterfall development process.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_thinking#Design_thinking...

I don't see discussion style sites like hn or reddit being successful at coordinating something like that. At least explicitly. It feels more like a punt. As if provided you can get enough people looking at something, magically it will work itself out.
"We will encourage you to develop the three great virtues of a programmer: laziness, impatience, and hubris." -- Larry Wall, Programming Perl

Laziness is then defined as "The quality that makes you go to great effort to reduce overall energy expenditure." You don't want to spend an hour writing 40 slightly different functions, so you spend 3 drilling into the problem domain and devise an abstraction that allows you to express the whole thing in 17 lines of code.

His project manager might call him lazy, after all, he technically pushed back project completion by two hours more than needed, by wasting time on an abstraction that was probably unnecessary, all just to scratch an itch. Is it, though? You could argue both ways.
At $10/week, how much time are you going to put into a unique post on my wall?

Is there time for introspection? Will it be clever? Relevant to my friends?

Someone will pay for this, but it's going to cost a lot more to deliver a quality product (unless you've got some very special software). There's a whole industry on Madison Avenue that specializes in doing exactly this.
My biggest gripe about Codeschool is that they switched to 'Paths,' seemingly to compete with Treehouse. I much preferred the prior iterations of the product.

I'm also not fond of partnerships pitched as courses. I'm not sure if revenue is low, or if the money offered by partners (such as New Relic and Github) is so good that they can't resist, but I lost interest in the product after the TryGit course.

Both Treehouse and Codeschool are decent for beginners, but even amateur programmers will outgrow them quickly as their thirst for new knowledge outgrows the offerings. This is one of the reasons I like paying per course instead of per month.

If you are new to programming and want to start learning quickly, I'd recommend paying for Peepcode, Codeschool, Treehouse, and anything else you can get your hands on. Having access to a variety of content and styles can be invaluable.
I realised that on HN it's quite acceptable to do this (although normally posts from the past would be prepended/appended with a (YEAR). I believe the reasoning is that not everyone has seen these articles, and as they are more than just news, many of them are worthy of occasional re-discussion over time. For example, this blogpost (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5204324) about Julia-lang was posted in 2012 and then in 2013, and a comparison of HN's discussion over time is quite interesting (to me, at least).
Yahoo, please start with a Vulnerability Reward Program
Thanks for the heads up, will modify the parser, again if anybody knows of a good open source crawler let me know. I rolled my own very quickly but would love it if i could find a 3rd party solution. Another option i have explored is pulling in the titles and descriptions provided by search engines but currently only DuckDuckGo offers anything useful and even then its coverage of some of these low ranking programming pages isn't great. Bing offers a pay per use access to its index but the costing structure really doesn't fit with my use case.
Probably a good point. The price point just may not be feasible. Thanks for your input!
You have to use the sidebar after you have done your search, then you can specify the details that you want and compare.

I'm not sure that's entirely true. If being able to collapse a thread means that more people actually read and upvote threads that are below it, then that in itself will help push the offending thread down the page.

Thanks for the support, really encouraged by the feedback here on Hacker News. You guys are great.

To your question, yes I am currently testing some ideas for a magic ranking system. One option is as you say a kind of random select amounts popular or trending links. Another is a smart weighted sort when filtering by multiple tags. One problem is that right now if you add jQuery to your filter, the javascript results are going to just dominate everything else.
how cheap
You can still argue that the arrangement of a particular CMS will be conducive to certain types of discussion over others. E.G. The adversarial type of discussion we see here would be far less effective without threads.

For hackers, this makes perfect sense since every "fork", if you will, needs to be followed to the conclusion of its job. Threads ensure ancillary points are confirmed, refuted, altered or somehow interacted with.

Likewise, having the reply form page show the parent's message content ensures quick reference to the points (quoting, another hacker favorite, becomes easier).

In a way, the layout and functionality of a CMS is communication feng-shui.
So I heard a bit differently about the FB Chat thing. Facebook likes to move its engineers around to different teams from time to time (if only temporarily) to spread institutional knowledge around and prevent bus factors from being too low. This also is a way to alleviate burnout. There simply weren't enough engineers at FB who knew Erlang to make this practical for chat, so they rewrote it in C++. The Erlang bits were reasonably written and working fine, but it didn't fit into this policy. Any non-mainstream languages wouldn't fit, this isn't something about Erlang in particular.

Erlang is a great fit for a number of problem domains, but if you silo it into a small part of your organization, you're going to run into issues such as these. You have to be willing to train people in it. It isn't that hard to pick up if it's someone's full time job to do so, as long as they're smart. And you want to hire smart people anyway, right?
holy crap, I was writing a very similar app months ago, based on very similar premises, but I sorta gave up (actually got too busy as well, etc) once I read that actually the whole world is going 3g, even most developing countries are experiencing rapid 3g growth[1].

In any case, this looks very cool, seems better-thought-out than my original project. Good luck!

Nice job! I like how this is an easy way to find common links on a particular topic (e.g. javascript). Are the links within a tag sorted by mentions? If not that might be a helpful addition.

Keep up the good work.
Wow, that's really cool, have to admit i didn't see that before. Let me know if your interested in sharing data, we are doing a lot of research in this area and the more data the better!
I actually had that in an earlier version and took it out just to simplify the design but i am actually looking at this again to produce a better sorting experience. Also the number of views a post receives may be a good metric also.
Yeah. I really like the idea of someplace to wax poetic about unformed/really out there ideas, it really jogs the brain into super creative mode, and is just super fun to do.
I had the exact same thoughts as thomasbk, although I have to admit that it does sound kind of cool. No way I would pay $2 or even $1 per day for it, though. Roughly $10 per month sounds reasonable.

I think you'd find that assembling all the right data (which is the true product) is way more work than you imagine. Sure, you could probably do it for yourself with a doable amount of work, but to be able to do it for ANYONE is a massive undertaking. And... yeah, you probably don't want to try to build Google Now.
So these are taken from the March 2013 data dump, which includes questions going right back to the start of SO. So some of these links have been collecting citations for a few years. We only mined the actual post content on the date the dump was created, we did not mine the post history. But we are working on that right now, its a lot of data to process :)
This looks really nice (and helpful!), however:

That's the experienced version. I was describing the inexperienced one.
So if I understand correctly, the Maybe monad is analogous to SQL's handling of NULL. In SQL, I can invoke the UPPER function on a string, and if that string is a string I get the uppercase version, if it's a NULL I get a NULL in return. I get that, but every time I read about Monads (to the GP's point) it just seems like a very formal academic theory and I keep thinking "so what?" I have not done much with Haskell, maybe it's one of those concepts that seems more natural in practice than it does to try to read about it?
B2B, B2C, B2B2C
Ugh. You don't have to agree with Kissinger's personal or political views to acknowledge that he's an incredibly high-quality source, both from a scholastic and experiential perspective.
I imagine their infrastructure is quite a bill. Supporting that kind of traffic must be expensive - if you figure $1.5m a month, that's like $18m a year right there.

Don't hate the players, hate the game.

Kissinger was alarmingly effective at what he did.
Thanks for the support. Yes to everything above :) We are currently mining the post history data to be able to do those kinds of time range queries. Cant wait to get that out there it should be very cool indeed, also want to allow users to search by their SO id and to filter their links by tag. (As an aside when we do mine the history we will be able to get more accuracy on which users actually posted which links rather than just the post owner.)
Personally, I always associated the WW2-era efficiency (perceived or otherwise) with Fascist Italy, rather than Nazi Germany -- "Mussolini made the trains run on time" and all that.
Integers, BCD, rationals, or other arbitrary precision representations are preferable as well. IBM keeps BCD alive and fast for COBOL and other 'legacy' systems.

Saying that, I did meet someone who awakened without a teacher. I suggested that he attend a couple of sitting groups that I used to go to. After the Dharma talk/discussion at each group, without having said a word, both teachers came up to him and basically said, how on earth did you do that?

That's an awesome story. I'm only scratching at the surface, and something tells me that it's going to take a lot longer than that, if ever, for me.

but then again, practicing for 5, 10, 20+ years and awakening is also not guaranteed.

For most of us, for sure. However, on the positive side, even many lifetimes of trying is but a mere tick on the clock of samsara. :)

TFL is London only though. It will only provide information for a small part of the UK. Is there an API which provides live data for all of the UK in one?
Ideas > worthless

Opportunities > valuable

Create a site to discuss actual opportunities and signal to noise would be very different. Also, the site could look like shit or Craigslist and nobody would care.

A site to discuss ideas degenerates into nonsense very quickly. I mean, when I look a floating helium balloon clock was the top-voted item. Right.

The problem is that people are not likely to discuss real opportunities openly. Opportunities have a direct link to real business. Ideas usually don't.
Guy's pretty busy now.
Thanks. Yes the domain filter is a great idea, will go to the top of the feature request list.

The site is c#, asp.net mvc, with a javascript front end, backed with sql server 2012. And running on AWS.
I had a similar issue until getting a HHKB[1] some years ago. The extremely compact design with full-sized keys made it much easier to coax my hands into dancing through emacs' chords.

As "buy an expensive keyboard to possibly make learning emacs easier" is the advice of the mad, I would suggest that you be fearless in rebinding things. Learning the default bindings is far less important than learning the functionality of emacs and how to extend and customise it.

As mentioned above. London provides this data, which is great. But me (and the majority of people in the UK) don't live in London. This data is held by Traveline who do not make their data publicly available. As to the ethics, I do not know. I'm not commercialising this as a product, I do not intend to make money from it. As for them being 'unsuspecting'. We live in a age where data is free. They should open up their data or scraping is inevitable.

I won't go into the war in general since I'm no expert on world war 2 but I can tell you that I've heard enough stories of Nazi brutality in the camps to know that, at least in exterminating undesirables, they were good. Real good.
The gas chambers and crematoriums at Auschwitz worked like clockwork. There was, at all times, a line, a group in preparation for entry, a group in the gas chambers themselves and the crematoriums were working 24/7. It was, for all intents and purposes, a death factory.
That's the real point to make about Nazi efficiency - they weren't more efficient than, say, the average factory but what they were doing (murdering people) was never done in such a factory-like manner, hence the semblance of efficiency.
