To be clear, the reason I mention astroturfing is because xogouyne is one of at least two accounts that appear to have been created specifically to respond to that one instance of Microsoft bashing on my part, and he has no other comments.
To be clear, in my second paragraph, I'm referring to true damage to math skills. There's a world of difference between "woman are being discriminated against and it's destroying their ability to learn math" and "women are being discriminated against and they don't like to show off the skills they have". In particular, and this is important, the solutions are different. Although also the severity is different, too, which is also important in deciding what to do about it.

One of the problems I have with this whole debate is that people are so quick to jump down your throat if you don't simply parrot the party line, even when you mostly agree with it, that it isn't even permitted to deeply examine the problem. Nevertheless, step one, as in all engineering, is to figure out the problem. If you insist on short-circuiting that step, your solutions won't work. That doesn't change magically because it's a hot-potato topic.

I'm not sure it's using tag annotations; I'm not seeing evidence of them. Plus, if I clone a repo with releases, then push (with tags) to a new repo, the new repo doesn't have any of the release notes.

Agreed. I'm not a natural language expert by any means, but from the research I did a little while ago, it seemed like the thesaurus apis matched "yes" to "affirmative" and not to "yeah." Maybe I haven't found a good one?
>Microsoft has given customers a choice on whether to update their browser or not

No. MS links new browser updates to OS releases. You can still run plenty of modern browsers on XP... just not one made by MS. How sad.
Yes, but that normally involves lots of inline-shell-scripting and connecting a wide array of plugins together. It's not exactly a stream-lined process.

A company that profits from violence and war really can't be expected to be terribly trustworthy.

Their business does not center around tracking down terrorists. They do all things "Big Data". That includes finance and tracking the source of E-Coli outbreaks. The problem is that people like yourself know nothing about the company, yet still feel qualified to condemn them.

This is basically what we're doing with Docker. We started with lxc but it can and will be ported to other OS virtualization backends, including jails and zones.

Create a new base image from a running container:

CONTAINER_A=$(docker run -d ubuntu apt-get install curl)
docker wait $CONTAINER_A
docker commit $CONTAINER_A shykes/my-ubuntu-with-curl
CONTAINER_B=$(docker run -d shykes/my-ubuntu-with-curl curl --help)

Share your new image for the rest of the world to enjoy:

docker push shykes/my-ubuntu-with-curl

Transition between application versions:

V1=$(docker run -d shykes/myapp:v1)
V2=$(docker run -d shykes/myapp:v2)
docker stop $V1

Transition between database versions (sharing of persistent data):

V1=$(docker run -d shykes/mydb:v1)
V2=$(docker run -d -volumes-from=$V1 shykes/mydb:v2)
docker stop $V1

There is nothing you should be more wary of than a benchmark that matches your pre-existing intuition. It'll lead you to ignore serious methodological issues, without any sound scientific (or any other epistemological) reason. https://speakerdeck.com/alex/benchmarking is a slide deck I gave at my office on how to do better benchmarking

Re: Unknown error --

$.post(App.route("attempt",this.playData),e,function(e){var n;return n=e.reason,n||(n=e.valid?["Good Job!","Correct!"].sample():"Unknown error")

When I pop open the Chrome network tab, this is what the response to /attempt looks like:
{success: true, dmid: ikspmzs0}

Given that .sample() just returns a random array element, I'm assuming it's freaking out because it's expecting "valid" and getting "success" instead.

> It seems they "drive out risk" by focusing on analysis and research, rather than implementing stuff. I think.

Actually, spikes (originally called "spike solutions") emphasize implementing as a form of research. You implement the risky thing so that you can learn how it really works in practice. You leave out all your normal production development practices and just focus on the question at hand, then throw it away (or archive it) when you're done.

For example, let's say you had a need to send email from your software, but you had never done that before. You might create a series of spike solutions that send a hardcoded email from your server and through a variety of third-party services, then evaluate the results. When you're done, you throw away (or archive) the spikes and rewrite it at production quality in your real codebase.

It's sort of like a prototype, but narrowly focused on a specific question.
Apparently Clapper is lying about lying too[1]. According to Wyden[2], the question he asked was actually given to Clapper in advance so the idea that Clapper didn't understand exactly what Wyden was referring to seems like a load of bull.

The only motivation behind this is absurd profit for those selling domain names, and I doubt that NYC will even see that money (does anybody know more information about this?).

Otherwise, I don't see how this would help a company identify in any useful way especially because we are talking about internet addresses here. How would ordering a product from webstore.nyc be any more helpful than webstore.com? It seems like a useless novelty, and will add more complexity and confusion to URL's in general as other cities get their own TLD's from the US and globally.

Ask HN: What's a better site for financial news and research?
Google Finance and Yahoo! Finance are the top two sites for financial news and research, but they haven't really improved at all over the past several years. They still rely on Adobe Flash for charts. They perform poorly on mobile and tablet browsers. They don't really improve trading or investment outcomes. They remind me of the big portal websites from the early days of the web.

What are some better sites for financial news and research?
That's what we're going to try.
This is actually pretty cool. Over here in Europe every (most) websites end in a country specific TLD so we know where the website is based. We can see instantly a .fr domain means the website/store is based in France, or .de for Germany, etc and so on. It's not common at all to have a .com for your website.

I suspect in America it's going to be really confusing for people though because as far as I can tell everything is a .com. People probably won't be so keen on adopting a .nyc domain for their NYC based business because everything else is a .com so it might seem lesser or cheap or "not the real thing."
"Finding a search result that is located in NYC can be challenging. Search engines often generate millions of results. Make your NYC business, organization or content easier for users to find."

How exactly is .nyc going to help in search results? Are we to believe that Google's going to give special priority to new sites just because they have .nyc?

Also, the "offers services to New Yorkers" makes it sound like it's going to be pretty open to any site, diminishing the (albeit limited) point.
I get that there's more than request-response. Why not use Websockets instead? What do you plan to do if your mobile users want a browser-based experience?
I use the release plugin myself on almost all my projects, but--BUT--it needs to be said that it's not very flexible. If you can't live with the way it's setup to do things, you're better off writing a shell script to automate things your way than trying to bend the release plugin to fit your needs.

EBS sucks, but EBS+PIOPS is actually pretty great. We've gotten consistent performance well within the guarantees ever since the launch last year. Highly recommended.

On a side note - From a marketing perspective, Amazon probably should have launched PIOPS as a separate product from EBS. The idea that "EBS sucks" is pretty firmly entrenched, so EBS+PIOPS is fighting an uphill battle.
I should mention that I'm a computer engineering major and not a EE major, so I haven't taken some of the more advanced physics classes like solid state physics or electromagnetics. Are there any resources you would recommend for getting more of the theoretical background on those topics?

One thing to consider is that different instances of the same class may be deployed on widely varying hardware. For c1.xlarge instances we've seen very different cache size and CPU specs (cat /proc/cpuinfo) and now always try to get on the machines with a 20mb cache - our benchmarks show these to be better for our needs.

I have heard anecdotally that it's not uncommon for large players to bulk-start instances and then kill all of the ones that don't have the latest hardware.

Update: I just looked at 4 random c1.xlarge instances we have running, and found 3 different types of underlying hardware:

1. Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5410 @ 2.33GHz w/ 6144kb cache

2. Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5506 @ 2.13GHz w/ 4096kb cache

3. Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650 0 @ 2.00GHz w/ 20480kb cache

Of these cores, the E5410 is from 2007, E5506 is from 2009 and the E5-2650 is a Sandy Bridge from last year.

I agree it would be fun, and I probably spend too much time worrying about future archeologists, I just think it would be nice if we had some code that was worthy of the honor. Practicality seems to demand that code be functional first and beautiful a very distant second, despite all the talking and blogging to the contrary.
it would be interesting if they covered some of the technical problems they've had with using erlang in a database. writing a db in a VM language like erlang or java you inevitably end up fighting with the VM for some workloads. i noticed that recently one of their engineers tried to submit a patch to erlang to force it to not put schedulers to sleep when there is work to be done (http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-patches/2013-June/004109....). it had an interesting flag name '+zdnfgtse' which looks like z-do-not-f-go-to-sleep-ever :)
Similarly Clojure is JVM based and it draws interest of many Java gurus, because they do not need to learn the platform from scratch (the Java library is available).

If we are going to attack every company that isn't morally virtuous, then there won't be much to talk about here on HN. E.g. building products for the advertising industry might seem less harmful than building products for the defense/intelligence industries, but how much economic harm is caused by an industry that preys on cognitive biases to get people to overpay for otherwise fungible commodity products?

There is also a double standard here, isn't it? Working on Big Data technology that has applications for spying by the military = evil. Working on search or data classification technology that has applications to obsoleting workers and putting them out of a job = not evil?

It's not a productive path to start treading down. Or at the very least, something about glass houses or "let he who has not sinned cast the first stone."

"When can I register a .nyc domain name?

Domain names are currently expected to become available in late 2013 after ICANN approves the City’s application.
"

and

"Upon acceptance of its application for the .nyc domain, the City of New York intends to enter into an agreement with ICANN under which it will have control over the administration and management of the .nyc domain."

Perhaps they know more than us, but they seem very confident that they'll be getting approved. Nobody else applied for .nyc, but I don't recall it ever being indicated that was enough to guarantee approval.

There are methods of handwriting that allow you to avoid hand cramps. The Palmer method of handwriting, which was popular in America at the turn of the 20th century, emphasized using the whole arm and shoulder to make marks on the page. In order for this method to be effective your wrists must be limp in order for your arms to slide quickly across the page. Instead of consciously "drawing" letters, you build up and use muscle memory to create letters, in the same way you naturally build and use muscle memory when you throw a ball. If you master this method of handwriting, you can write at 60 words per minute, for hours at a time without your hand cramping. Unfortunately, the Palmer Method was abandoned when education reformers in the U.S found it too "difficult", because it requires months of training and practice to become proficient. It also required left-handed students to write with their right hand, because English runs from right to left and this method requires your other hand to manipulate the paper. As a result, generations of Americans have grown up using an inefficient, painful method of writing.

Of course, the manuscript writers needed to draw the letters in a calligraphic style, which necessitated precise wrist motions. So a writing method designed for brisk mark making wouldn't have helped them.

EDIT: I'm not saying that I support forcing left-handed people to write with their right hands. It may be true that the Palmer method (or any right-hand only method) has a history of teachers using corporal punishment to punish mistakes, but corporal punishment is of course not necessary to become proficient.

Eksith, you're right that "drawing" the letters doesn't have anything to do with the speed at which letters are made. The "drawing" comment was made about why many people's cursive handwriting is so poor. When students learn cursive now, too often they are simply copying letters from a book or blackboard ("drawing the letters"), instead of practicing the physical motion. So when students need to write cursive script quickly, they don't have enough time to render each letter correctly and consequently they develop their own methods muscle movements, which usually leads to sloppy handwriting. The same kind of thing can happen when you are taught to type. Correct touch typing teaches you to let your finger return to the home row after pressing a key before you reach for another key. If you aren't taught to do this, you will develop your own muscle movements that are suitable for typing some words, but lead to mistakes in others.

A common error is letting your finger hover near the letter you typed when the same letter is repeated in the word that you are typing. This seems like an "optimization", but it isn't, and causes lots of spelling errors because it can easily mess up your key press timing. Using your own "optimizations" might be able to type as quickly as a touch typist in short stretches, but it is far more likely that you will make more errors.
