You are confusing the short lived deflation that could be caused by a deflationary currency, with the deflation caused by all the other problems mentioned in the wikipedia article, like "technological progress that created significant economic growth", "great advances in productivity", etc. Apparently the only problem brought by gold and silver was that there was a scarcity of coins (a physical problem), which would never happen with Bitcoin (a digital currency).

> Perhaps Satoshi simply felt it was easier to implement finite Bitcoins than a constantly increasing supply. I don't think he can be blamed for that. Bitcoin is, if nothing else, certainly intriguing.

No, he was against inflation. In the first block of the blockchain, he added a message; it was something about Bernake approving a new bailout for the banks.
In addition to a cool marketing trick and testing opportunities,
this is also a nice way for them to spot the copies of the old logo still used across their many websites and automate the update before the "official" roll out :)
Is it Google? I thought it was Apple.
Marketers have used the fake "experts" card so extensively, that it diminished the value of the opinion of the expert to near zero. He chooses fundamentally pure approach of giving the actual details of the product to you to judge. The information is there, read it, analyze the books used by the medics and nutritionists and judge by yourself. If you feel the need of an opinion of an expert, you are willingly trusting any potential scamer with the "nutritionist" or "doctor" title. Those experts are not some all-knowing gods that can single-handedly approve as safe, or disprove as harmful. They are the same people with the same access to information you and me has. And since nobody has experience with that kind of products, opinion of people who have given some title by someone is not much more valuable than anyone else who learns about nutrition himself.

Apparently there's a lot more money in Bible apps than I had imagined.

If this ordering is close to being accurate, it's a wonderful resource to reflect on to understand what consumers truly care about.
Static typing means automatic language-integrated type-checking unit tests. I would bet a lot of dynamic language unit testing has to do with compensating for the lack of proper type checking. It's just like using patterns compensates for lacking language features.
Properly "Big X" refers to the biggest players in the X industry, particularly with regard to trade groups and lobbying. It's useful because often this section of the industry will have unique qualities compared to the industry as a whole or other industries (such as how much they spend on lobbying, how much innovation they are responsible for, etc)

It is true that people will often use it as a lazy and fallacious way of vilifying but please note this is not exclusively a progressive phenomenon. Many of these groups lobby for things like govt subsidies, laws which restrict personal freedoms in ways that help their industry, etc...many conservatives aren't thrilled with such behavior.

In a brief non scientific survey of a few subreddits (r/libertarian, r/socialism, etc) phrases like "big oil" appear roughly comparably.

People on both ends of the political spectrum are (perhaps rightly) displeased with some of the actions of such groups and vilify them - they just disagree about what the root cause is and how to prevent such behavior.

The fallacy comes in when people use some particular actions of some players in an industry to invalidate everything that comes out of it. (such as implying that anything produced by a startup is ipso facto healthier than something produced by a large pharmaceutical company)
Yahoo as a brand has become pretty corny to me over the years, and I associate their logo with this sentiment. Reading the article I thought maybe Yahoo is changing its logo so many times in quick succession to break the association of the Yahoo brand with whatever negative connotations it has with people. Kind of like forcing people to forget what they thought of Yahoo up until now by overwhelming them with change.

I'm not sure how well I explained this, but hey I just woke up!
At a guess these 30 logos and the agreement to change them daily took much longer than 6+ weeks to prepare.

But that's marketing everywhere. And this a cute way to relaunch a brand. It creates a game rather than simply saying here is our new brand. I like it.

>Also, I think its an impressive type conversion for you to cast what is commonly described as overzealous liberalism to puritanical religiosity.

Well, I don't consider it that impressive.

Political correctness is just one method the liberals found to maintain the puritanical religiosity of their past. Just the secullar side to the same coin.

You cannot get puritanism out that easily, you just divert it from religious thinking to other endeavours.

We have the same kind of conversions in Europe too -- not to mention that it's a kind of well discussed topic in literature and psychology.
> And even in Rails 4, concurrent request handling is multiplexed on a single CPU

Actually, even on YARV you will use more than one CPU, however the GVL won't allow them to be used efficiently.

My point is: there is nothing in Rails forcing it being multiplexed into a single CPU, it is all about which language implementation and web server you choose.

The post is also very inconsistent on its own arguments. If multi-core and being able to share memory in between cores is a criteria, Node is also not a good option compared to what you have in the JVM, Erlang VM, Haskell, Go, etc.
I just wish they update the built-in code analysis to use TypeScript 0.9. I don't like having to use outdated type definitions.
Yes, that's one of the main challenges with Brazil & Latin America -- to make sure we get every single city's unique aspects right, we're going to roll out one city at a time.

And Belo Horizonte is for sure one of the most promising next cities where Glio's product can be really useful.

By the way, I've got to update the About page numbers, those are from a while ago.

Thanks a lot for the feedback.

I guess you know this, but just for some context: ctrl-a is the default prefix for GNU Screen which was the unopposed leader in terminal management for a long time, so most people are just used to it.

As for the ctrl-a shortcut, I admit I use screen/tmux for mail, jabber and text editing/programming mostly, so I do not spend that much time in the shell where that shortcut would be handy. I just didn't use that shortcut until now.

Dtrace has tomes and many hours expounded upon its usage; sadly it is not also available on Linux.
I'm just starting with some hobby project (as usual nothing special to show yet) and picked up typescript as it supports me when I am forgetful (as the project time is scattered in small bits) or just plain lazy. I see this as big win for big projects where no-one (or at least no-one) can see all the details in the project, it saves a lot of jumping around in codebase
We are building a webapp using TypeScript and Angularjs and we are quite happy. It takes some time to set up everything, we even created our own yeoman generator, but at the end I think it's worth it.
You map a to send the prefix: bind-key a send-prefix

Now when you type <prefix-a> ctrl-a gets sent.
Awaiting for awhile? Awful.
Largely depends on the product itself. As already mentioned, art and antiques are different from technology. But the author certainly has a point here. That's why luxury brands can ask much higher prizes compared to non-luxury brands that don't have anything to do with production cost.

But one way of looking at prices was somehow missed that is really important in the production industry, at least from my point of view. Profit is prize minus cost. This goes somewhat in the direction of the targeting a market and engineering the product accordingly. But by regarding the actual selling prize of a product as given instead of the actual production cost changes a lot. And your not done by just engineering a product to a certain prize, if the market changes you have to improve your cost base.

And the more your product is a commodity, the more important this part of prizing gets as it is harder to boost prizes in this case. Something a lot of companies have a hard time to understand, at least that's my experience.

Responsive design is crap. I (as a user) would rather have ONE fucking site that looks the same in all devices.

"Responsive design" of the kind with moving divs around for different sizes instantly give me LESS on a mobile, and changes the experience from when I browse on my laptop. Suddenly I have to hunt for things that were all there on the laptop version of the website.

It's ironic that we got "responsive design" in an era when even mobile/tablet devices finally have the capability to show a full width page and/or employ tap-to-zoom to make navigation a breeze.
This is the right move. When I look at the Yahoo logo, all I see is the 90s, irrelevance and desolation. It will have more impact than a dozen more startup acquisitions.

Wow, it's so refreshing for me to read your post, thank you!

Unfortunately in my experience (on both ENG and QA sides), PMs only serve to try and fuck you over or overload your "plate" in one of dozens delicious ways. I'm desperately trying to avoid having my experience color the rest of my perceptions (and interactions) with PM, but it's a losing battle. It's becoming all the more easier to just say "fuck PMs" and be done with it :(
Inflation is good for the rich's income. Deflation is good for the rich's savings. Seems like they win in both cases? Though I would argue they win more in the first case, since inflation don't necessarily force them to do something with the money. Eg: They could just sit on gold or real estate if they wanted to. But most rich people didn't get there by doing nothing, so they tend to do something anyway, no need to force them.
Did not mean dynamic languages are bad. They are awesome for scripting on the static type language core. Unless you like writing _lots_ of basic unit tests.
That suggests to me they're missing tests that check the data held in the objects.

There might be some worth in checking the structure of an object (including attached functions) as it leaves a public api, especially in a language like Javascript that plays it so fast and loose with object construction.

That's one of the nice thing about typescript - you can use it where it's most helpful and leave it where it's not.
I like being able to shift+pageup in consoles to see history, but haven't got a good replacement for this in tmux. (Including when you switch to a new window and want to see something.) Usually I go into copy mode and scroll up. This works. But maybe there's a better way. Anyone know?
Also the Azure management portal is written in typescript.

>>but they didn't price in the risk of technological innovation like AirBNB

Actually that's what they did, since residential usage like AirBNB is generally against zoning in these areas.

And you're focused on the selfish aspects of property rights without considering the benefits towards the commons they can confer, like keeping quiet residential areas quiet residential areas rather than high-traffic transient areas just because someone threw up a website.

Let me rephrase: on a default, clean Chrome install on 10.8.4, you are wrong. If you can't find some exculpatory evidence, I'm going to assume user error, perhaps in how you have your keychain set up.

I don't objectively agree with the latter point, but rdl is correct about the former. It takes high altitudes for tubofans to come into their element in the efficiency gradient, and short routes don't really stay in that area of altitude long enough to give them an advantage. Turboprops are more efficient at lower altitudes, which is perfect for short hop flights -- where you're spending half of the time climbing/descending anyways. This is partly why Porter Airlines in Toronto flies Q400s.
They seem to have mixed up Sweden with Slovakia. Funny.
Of course! Lossy compression is tolerable for cat videos on YouTube where it doesn't matter if a few details are wrong. It is absolutely not tolerable for storage of important documents. This is something that should go without saying.

Looks like the company is trying to weasel out of it and there are going to have to be lawsuits. Though I didn't really expect otherwise; if the dice come up badly, the damage from this could exceed the net value of the company.

Ask HN: Is it time for a career change?
I've been a software engineer for over six years. In that time, I've been at three large tech companies. I've been at my current company for three years. However, during my career I haven't actually been promoted, nor have I gotten a substantial raise. This is not because of my inability to play politics, but due to my inability to work at a higher level.

Having observed myself at work for six years, I noticed that I enjoy the problem solving and implementation aspects of being a SWE: debugging, writing new code, etc. However, I haven't been very interested in the higher level stuff at work: design reviews, architectural decisions, etc.

I also don't have any particular direction I'd like to move into. For the past few years, I've been working on Linux kernel, but only because it was for my job. I am not interested in Linux kernel work for its own sake.

At work, if I say I'm bored with the work, people would just suggest that I find a different project. The projects may be technologically interesting/important... But it seems like none of the work really creates anything of value. Everything seems like an incremental tweak, but there wasn't much wrong with the existing products.

However, I've been working on a personal hardware project for the past few months. I've been performing at a level far higher than what I've been capable of at work. I've been surprised by my own level of accomplishment on this project and it shows that I'm neither lazy nor incompetent. Yet I can't seem to consistently muster that work drive for projects at work.

I don't think the issue here is software vs hardware, or finding the right project. I suspect it's either a matter of working on my own thing vs working for others, or working on things that people pay for. Maybe both. I'm thinking I will become either an entrepreneur (sell my project) or a freelancer.
Maybe, but personally I find that terminal windows are the only thing I tend to want to split the screen for. Almost everything else I prefer to run in full screen. If I had a 50" screen or something, I might feel differently, but with two smaller screens the two separate screens offer enough tiling for non-terminal windows.

I was planning on installing a tiling WM when I got my last laptop (I used to use Ion, so I'm used to the concept and wanted to give it another go), but frankly as much hate as Unity gets, once I had Ubuntu installed I realised that with some keybinding tweaks it was sufficient.
Part of the reason for that is that I didn't want people gaming the algorithm. The things it looks at are user numbers, revenue estimates (very good here~) and internationalization when computing the worth.
Both extremes are bad. What I'm really tired of, and I'm as far away from software and SV right now as you can probaly be, are people believing themselves being experts in X only because the work in company that's in the market of X, wether that's their job or not.

I for myself prefer to listen to people hat do the job while I expect people to listen to me when my job is concerned. If not, it's easy to interpret it as distrust.

So I agree with both points here.
One observation - seems you can almost predict people's preference for Hibernate or Ibatis (or something else) based on whether they are "application folk", who see the DB as just the persistence mechanism, or whether they view the DB as the "critical data store" with the application used to get and store that data.

Despite being very much an app developer myself, not a DBA or particularly a DB development guy, I've seen DBs outlast many apps, coding languages etc, and always feel it's the most important thing at the end of the day.

Depends on your domain too I guess, I'm sure there are many important exceptions.
Turboprops (and some pistons) are way more efficient at low altitudes. For a short route, most of your time is spent a lot altitudes, so the prop is going to be a lot more efficient. Saves fuel, makes it cheaper to fly, thus lower fares.

Single engine aircraft have been shown to be essentially as safe as twins, at least on light aircraft like these. Engines very rarely fail, and a twin engine light craft failing often fails in a way where the plane still is unflyable, or the pilots of those aircraft aren't able to recover (more of an issue for private single pilots vs. a charter with two). There are some ways where it doesn't matter how many engines the aircraft has, and the twin engines add complexity which increase the odds of problems (which generally cause ground stops or non-crash incidents, but which could possibly cause crashes). Twins also cost more per hour to operate (in fuel, and especially maintenance), and cost more to buy. Inexperienced pilots also manage to crash aircraft with two working engines by doing stupid things with the engines, where they may not in a single, although this is less of an issue with FADEC I think.

For a long flight over the ocean, a big twin turbofan ETOPS certified or maybe even a trijet or 4-engine aircraft is the way to go, but for short domestic flights over land, a single (turboprop, ideally, but even some pistons) would be my choice. My dream aircraft is a CH801 (kit) with a diesel engine (super slow, ~$100-150k), or a Cessna Grand Caravan ($300k and up to low millions if new and highly outfitted).
Have you tried tmux's mouse modes?

You can use the mouse wheel to scroll and highlight to copy. I think you are specifically trying to say the mouse highlight won't go past one window though, right?

You can also resize panels and select widows.

They're clearly objectively better in a lot of ways; you could just argue that they're not net-better overall, since there are also advantages to twins. Single is undeniably cheaper to buy/operate. Since you never push off without both engines good, there's no way a twin would have higher dispatch rate than a single (since there are ~twice as many parts to deadline your aircraft).

You may still value "has extra engine in case one dies in flight" more than this, though. (and I did, until I saw how singles actually had approximately the same safety stats as twins, at least for private pilots most like what I'd be.)
