PyPy uses too much memory and isnt that much faster for many things.

(Sorry PyPy guys!)

I dont have numbers/charts to pull up for this right now, but I was testing it out to see if I could push more cpu on a server, and the memory cost was insane for the minimal test case.

Twisted also is not a web server, it's a framework. Same with Tornado, and honestly, the same with gevent/etc.
Fast and simple, which is good, but it took me less than a minute to look at it and move on. Some of the key reasons:

* Impossible to reorder feeds on the fly just like in Google Reader. That's the #1 must-have feature for me.

* Inability to tag/label stories AND feeds.

* No integration with Instapaper and sharing services.

* Inability to star/like stories.

I couldn't care less about shortcuts and responsive design. Google made it easy to organize feeds and share/archive/search stories. That's what others have been unable to replicate so far.

Good luck! :)

For all the shit Quora gets on HN, it's probably the leading authority on the IIT system due to the enormous number of Indian members. See https://www.quora.com/Indian-Institutes-of-Technology/best_q... for some of the more interesting questions and answers.
Sounds like overaggressive spam detection.
But Kickstarter themselves are laughing all the way to the bank, are they not?
Given that he had rented the facility from a hotel that had done that in the past, and the atypicality was mainly in the secrecy and set design they wanted, I don't think that it's unreasonable to expect that the hotel had all of its permits in order. It's a reasonable mistake -- though one that, as you point out, should have been caught by his wedding planner.
What worked for me might not be the things that work for you.

For me the following were useful:

-I worked with a 'life coach', and I guess we did something like CBT. I'd be a bit embarrassed to tell my friends but it was very useful.

-Working at a company, as an employee, I slowly got the trust and respect of my colleagues. Not having co-workers must be one of the hardest parts of freelancing. Even if I'm not happy with my performance on a task, I know my boss knows I'm usually effective, and that does help me remember that too. Maybe if you worked in a group with other freelancers instead of alone, it would be easier?

-I got into a very good relationship. That means that my work is only part of what I care about, so if it's going badly, then it's not all of me.

More generally, if you are struggling a bit, there are probably things in your life that would legitimately cause anyone stress.

Maybe you are taking on full stack projects, but are only comfortable with (front)(back) end work. Maybe your under pressure from your family to make money. Maybe you are having trouble learning the business side of things, while coding at the same time.

Either way, if you can work out what those are, and avoid them, it'll give you more energy to deal with everything else.

Sometimes though, you need make a big change, sacrifice something. I didn't carry on in academia after the masters where I struggled, and went back to programming instead. It seemed like I was giving up on my future at the time, but it's very easy to come up with a new vision of your future. It's much harder to struggle towards one from a bad place. Could it be worth being an employee for a bit, then going back to freelancing when you are more confident? Or going back to school for a bit (there is always funding)?

Those would be pretty radical - you've built a business, and you'd lose a lot of it by putting it on pause. But in HN terms, if what you are doing isn't working for you, pivot till it does...?
Ahhh, they shut it down already. It was a page with links to login to their JBOSS admin pages and such. You needed passwords, of course, but still, not the sort of thing you want clients to randomly stumble across.
It doesn't appear that you've read her work. Everything you've said about Rand is straightforwardly incorrect. For instance,

> her ideas only trend toward sacrificing the many for the needs of the few

She specifically and clearly explains in her work why that is not the implication of her philosophy, and there is no reason to believe it would be.
Seems like it on most links posted. After reading the post and before viewing the comments I always say to myself in my head: "Ok, let's see why I should hate this."
I think that's an odd thing to focus on. There were always a mixture of available now/available in three months kinds of deals.
Scraping for semi-automatic market research
For a little perspective, the remaining 20ms still leaves enough time for oh, 55 random SSD IOs and time spare to zlib a megabyte of text. Or about 4.8 million instructions of a modern 2.4ghz CPU. Just what does this app do exactly?

Aah.. Django.

Seriously, 20ms isn't good even for Python. That's not something to be proud of, that's reason to rip up whatever overelaborate mess you've constructed to figure out just how you're blowing so much time.

As a reminder, a 200 byte HTTP request can be parsed in around 600 instructions or less (about 250 nanoseconds at 2.4ghz).
If you read the article carefully, or even better the original Guardian article: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/jun/27/nsa-online-metad... you'll find claims that while the original program was shut down something very like it although probably larger in scope is still ongoing - details are murky though.

I instinctively like Obama, but I'm forced to admit that his policies on national security are by any objective means worse than his predecessor. He's just more eloquent when he talks about them.

Suppose someone very smart argues that X is justified when condition Y holds, but X is not justified when Y doesn't hold. Furthermore, this argument is well regarded by many smart people, who find that it is applicable in many places. That doesn't make it right, but it does mean when you assert something that conflicts with the argument, you better either acknowledge that you reject the widely-regarded argument, or explain why the argument doesn't apply in this case.

Now, you assert Z is justified, which a lot of people say looks a lot like X. In fact, Z = X + delta_X. Furthermore, it is agreed by everyone that Y does not hold in this case. So some people say, "Z is effectively X, and Y doesn't hold, so Z is unjustified." You say, "but Z != X. Therefore this argument breaks down. Here's my new argument for justification". But someone replies "but delta_X is small, and I claim that it doesn't change the outcome of the original argument".

You can't respond "But Z is not the same thing as X, so we should use completely different arguments to judge justified-ness." You either need to claim that delta_X is large enough to break the original argument, or acknowledge that you disagree with that argument.

I believe you're misinterpreted me to be saying "Snowden's actions are trying to be civil disobedience, but they don't have all the qualities of justified civil disobedience, therefore it's unjustified". Hence your thinking that my argument was composed of semantics. But this is not at all what I argued, and I think you'll agree if you re-read my comments.
Thanks! We made sure the site was responsive, so that we could cover all mobile platforms at launch. We're hoping that some app developers will jump on the API and build some native apps for all of the platforms.
I'll add how I answered this question for someone who sent me an email once. Here goes:

I wrote a good Quora answer about just living in Austin in general start of with reading that.

http://www.quora.com/Austin-TX/What-should-someone-know-befo...

It doesn't really cover startup life though. I'll get to that.

Quora has a lot of other pretty accurate content about Austin so check that out too.

- First off let me warn you... sadly Southby is not Austin.

SXSW is a festival that happens to happen once an year in Austin but they are completely different things lol. Do not have that as you expectation of how Austin will be. Austin is much sleepier the rest of the year and even during southby you may have noticed that stuff pretty much closes down at 2am

- The Austin tech scene is mostly B2B startups, consultant shops, bigger more established tech (think IBM and Dell), the newer shiner (for lack of a better way to put it) companies mostly have smaller encampments here. (i.e Facebook has an office in one of the towers downtown. Apple has a fairly sizeable campus north of town and they are expanding but not much there yet.)

- Second checkout these quoras answers they say alot about it.

http://www.quora.com/Why-wont-Austin-TX-become-the-next-Sili...

http://www.quora.com/How-does-Austin-compare-to-Silicon-Vall...

- O and meetups in Austin...

Another thing about Austin is you will meet some genuinely smart people who are good and passonate about what they do... and you'll also run into the types who are "looking for a technical founder" alot too.

It sucks that you'll find alot of those at the meetups for more well known languages or frameworks. You'll have to dig deep into more esoteric or cutting edge topics if you really want to meet good technical people here and not just people looking for someone to do it for them.

Also just about all of the meetup groups have an online presence just google "[you favor subject] austin meetup"

i.e. Austin on Rails is a good one

http://austinonrails.org/

- You'll definitely also want to look up Capital factory

http://capitalfactory.com/

There are a metric ton of startups there.

They also have showcases and host a big portion of one of my two favorite Austin events. The Startup Crawl. As matter of fact if you can swing it figure out when the next one of those is and come then. You'll meet a bunch of people in the scene that way... its another big party event much like sxsw but it is much more local so you'll get a flavor of the people actually here.

It wasn't a good logo to begin with. Lets start there. It's trying too hard to be literal and fit into the blue round boundaries of most other browser logos. And I honestly don't know whether the tail is supposed to be stylized fire or not. The asymmetry and distracting hi lights bother me too. In order to evolve and mature a logo it has to be solid to begin with. Otherwise updating it just makes it fall apart.
That one's easy: wiretapping is painted as an evil commie thing (in fact it's widely seen as the second key reason why the eastern system was bad, lead closely by shooting people at the wall and followed at great distance by smaller cars), while IDs were as real in the west as they were in the east. Also, while people in the east had real problems with a wiretapping organization completely out of control, them not having IDs would have hardly made any difference. One could easily argue that making a difference between those two things is based on some solid experience and therefore isn't odd at all.

Both german states were running like virtualized OS instances hosted by occupation. Under those conditions one would probably give an ID-less system about as little consideration as a liberal reimplementation of the second amendment. When that changed nobody felt much like messing with the proven western system envied so much by those in the east.
Didn't they try this before ?

To my knowledge, WSGI is pretty Python-specific. Does Go even support WSGI? I tried looking but Go is a terrible term to try searching for.
This sounds like the case. Google is getting aggressive with its Panda updates, and as a previous commenter noted, the HN homepage is just links. Since that triggers Panda, it's a good bet that Google went a little overboard (not unprecedented).
The problem is we're an ex-Imperialist island nation. That breeds a certain psyche of superiority and xenophobia that I think is very hard for us to shake off en-masse. I think there's a sense with the British that we brought 'civilisation' to a huge portion of the world, why do we need anybody else telling us what to do?

Even as children we're constantly fed war movies about the plucky Brits fighting against the evil Germans, so therefore most Brits hate Germans, and we've been at odds with the French forever. There are many English terms/phrases which are derogatory about the French. French kiss, French letter, French disease etc.

This is a very useful tool for the politician who wants to stir up a hornets nest of outrage or just shore up some votes by looking 'anti-Europe'. And it works.

Even myself -- someone who has friends in many European countries (Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, Serbia, Romania, Spain, Italy, Croatia, Austria, Slovakia - just quickly off the top of my head!) -- get caught up in it.

It's pure xenophobia, and it's frankly disgusting. We don't have the English channel and the North Sea around us, we have a moat.

However.

There is always the argument for a greater say from the people of Europe. It certainly seems there is a huge bureaucracy with very little public oversight. And it seems incredibly inflexible. The impression many have is that they can't vote the bureaucrats out, and there's very little to stop them haemorrhaging money/rights/power.

In an era where we have the technology to bring democratic decision making closer to the individual, the EU definitely seems to be moving in the opposite direction.

(Then again, this could just be the years of 'conditioning' that make me think this!)

Don't you think if there was evidence that the government was still harvesting CCs,BCCs, etc en masse, that the article would have made this their central claim? The vast majority of the article is about how this stopped in 2011. One line implies they still collect "internet metadata" but not in bulk.

Seems perfectly explained by the fact that the craft has just exited a huge "balloon" (it's a metaphor, for any nitpickers) formed by the solar wind. The lack of intergalactic particles from the sunward direction could be simply because the craft is in the balloon's shadow.

Good to hear that you found it a great experience even if the novelty doesn't last really long. I've always thought it would be.

I've applied for ASC tech jobs but have never gotten an interview. I keep trying even if part of me thinks I have to crazy to want to go.
Interesting. I'm so deeply embedded in the web/mobile world that I forgot there are some very real RTOS requirements that drive QNX uptake to this day.

That accounts for about 2ms

My point - as it seems I've failed to write sufficiently clearly - is that $85 seems very expensive for a "cheap" smartphone. Especially for equatorial Africa.

Also, I'm not in the US.
Mapping America: Every City, Every Block [2010]
Interview with Canopy Labs Cofounder Wojciech Gryc – Y Combinator company
That's pretty restrictive. I know a large number of scientists and computer programmers who believe the only thing you can trust are protocols and math, and they're usually completely unable to function outside of the narrow domain of their work.

I think a better philosophy is to trust that people will behave according to the incentives and information available to them. So if there is an organization out there, you can bet that it will act to expand the scope of the organizations' actions, because organizations that don't do this eventually get replaced by ones that do. If the organization is tasked with keeping tabs on all of America's adversaries, you can bet that they will see adversaries wherever possible to preserve a purpose for the organization.
Heroku is amazing, hands down. It's a shame you don't give them credit for all they've done for web app developers.
Also it does nothing with the disk, but does quite a bit over the network (queueing data, talking to caches).

I'm content with 20ms.

Hell, I'm content with 100ms, as long as its consistent and you can argue the value.
The problem with Rackspace, AWS especially is with consolidation in the market, they get lazy and don't innovate. I was at an event last night for a Neural Network PaaS startup[1][2], and there is no way he could efficiently build on AWS.

Hell yes! This is just what I needed. The other ones had strange UIs or were too slow for me. This was basically just as good as Google Reader!
This is probably the wrong place to ask this. What you're trying to do is freelance, go and find clients who need freelance work. (protip: They probably don't read HN).

One thing I did when I was looking for freelance work is just cold email companies with shitty websites and offer to redo them for a fee.

Also, your github seems to have a bunch of half-done projects, and nothing particularly complicated or difficult. Add more to it.
This is pretty much just a big advertisement for a guided meditation site.

Having said that, I've been getting more and more interested in meditation as I find myself regularly scattered and unable to focus, so I'm going to give it a go.
What exactly is it supposed to mean that the NSA intercepts only data with one "foreign end"? That it intercepts all data that crosses e.g. a transatlantic cable? Or that it scans the IP header of absolutely everything and grabs anything with a non-US IP as either source or destination? Or something else?
Careful, you're going down the Glenn Beck-style "OLIGARHY" route.
Google is evil. Screw them. I refuse to use Google or their services. Make the switch. They deindex a lot of sites they don't agree with. Not saying that is the case here but they've been known to do it.
Nice work, was curious about unmasking the companies. Any ideas who the others are? I'm guessing C is sprint.

Also interesting, company C requested a letter from the attorney general certifying that it is legal and directing them to comply. Asking to be forced sure provides a nice way to deny wrongdoing by telling your customers that you were legally forced to. I wonder who else adopts that strategy.
The Panda update definitely pushed lazy/low-quality pages down the SERPs, but doesn't tend to deindex pages.

Also: while the page doesn't have any of its own unique content, it presumably still has high engagement and low bounce rate.
It depends on if you get the envelop. The envelop is a list of recipients for a given server to handle... the headers of the actual email are a convenience for display, not used for relay/forward/delivery.

Why 29? Is it easier to resist persuasive measures when you are older or younger than 29? Seems pretty irrelevant to me.

I think it's fairly obvious Obama used "29 year old" to imply immaturity and chip away at his credibility thereby. (esp since he is 30 now, surprising how different "30 year old hacker" sounds than "29 year old hacker"..)
Everything you wrote is indeed true, the one key point you miss is that while we should plan for dealing with the worst-case scenario that should not stop us from holding our government a higher standard than that worst-case scenario.

In fact we can do both - develop tools to make centralization of collected data harder and develop laws that make that centralization harder. Neither will ever be perfect, but the effort is still vitally important.
I talked to a company that did this kind of work, and they used tiny MEMS mirrors made of gold plated silicon.

They wouldn't tell me much about their customers, but they specialized in switching and splitting high speed data at the physical layer.

That wasn't the reason for Digg's issue at all: Google had tried to manually deindex some pages from the site, but made a mistake and pulled the whole domain. They reincluded it shortly after.

Uhm...am I misunderstanding something? It sounds to me like the author is saying we should be spending time tuning UWSGI's plethora of configuration options rather than using gunicorn. I much prefer components which "just work" for a healthy range of typical use cases.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's cool he made it work.. but seriously?
I read both of the original articles (also http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/jun/27/nsa-data-mining-... ) -- there is still nothing in them that would cause this statement to be reliably true. You may surmise it, but speculation != fact.

Also, I think you must have a phenomenally short memory if you think Obama's policies on national security are stricter than Bush's were.
uWSGI != WSGI. The name is misleading. To quote the uWSGI docs: "The “WSGI” part in the name is a tribute to the namesake Python standard, as it has been the first developed plugin for the project."

There are a bunch of supported languages and platforms, including Go (thought its dev): http://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/LanguagesAndPlat...
That sounds exactly like me, but I don't skip large sections of text. I also read and think and talk about programming a lot more than I do it. At work I don't have this problem. The work place establishes the focus, which is hard to maintain at home.

Anyhow, why should one get a diagnosis for ADD/ADHD. What difference would it make for a 20 something?

I'm saying people should take responsibility for their actions. Including if those actions are threatening the children of a sworn officer of the law while withdrawing from drugs.

People always look for reasons to excuse themselves (or in this case, others). Drug withdrawal explains Brown's actions, but they are still his alone to be responsible for and no one else's.
