Well said ... it's not a "too many customers" problem so much as you need to maximize the profit per customer. If you can build a service that's intuitive and error-free (within reason) customers and costs scale linearly. Peldi (Balsamiq) and patio11 (BingoCardCreator) are great examples of this.
This looks incredibly slick, but I'm still seeing "FriendCode is setting up your Environment. It may take a few seconds" after about ten minutes of waiting. I clicked in from the large graphic on the home page (using FF 24.0).
Does anybody know of any European politicians who think Snowden did the right thing?

Because I don't and it makes me think that Europe's leaders just as corrupt as US leaders.
What do you think should be on HN?
Pretty use of D3.js. Obviously this is your business but it would be great if there was some sourcecode to share with the community.

The report that the data is based on is not worth much. They claim to use Volume, Success, Global and Influence as measures. Apply this the Blackberry and Symantec and decide the value.
* Ok thank you, I'll look into this issue.

* Thank you for the feedback, we need to improve this by adding an "auto-execution" system (in a way like Heroku) which detect the project type and run it (install package.json dependencies for node, requirements.txt for python, ... and start the application).

* Ok, it's probably an issue on our side.

* We are focus on simplicity and trying to not just bring the local IDE on your browser, but really add innovation that can only come from a cloud IDE : realtime collaboration, ...
We are building FriendCode as a collaborative workspace editor in the cloud : each projects is a GIT repository and each branches is a workspace. Koding is more like a local IDE in the cloud : each user has its own VM and do whatever he wants inside, FriendCode gives a clear separation between projects : each projects has its own environment.
Hello,

We've made a promotional video to show you exactly what you'll be getting after giving permission to your LinkedIn account. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXKIY1PCnag

Hope you like it! :-)
I have found no mobile browser (except the native Android one on my older device) that will "easily" show one pixel of an image at one pixel of display. You pinch through this state but but not arrive at it unless you go to great trouble.
Yes, this is not going to work without a card as a reward.
You're right. Comparison to game prices was out of context.
I find that Flipkart does a pretty good job of managing your expectations in terms of delivery, even though you're buying from a 3rd party supplier. They update you when the seller accepts the order, packs it, when it is collected from the seller and finally through the entire delivery process.
Please get this crap off the front page. We have enough pandering bullshit that gets posted daily.

It's a waste of time to even point it out.
Both Ubuntu 12.04 and Mac OS X 10.9 ship with make 3.81 which was released in 2006
There are very few releases of GNU make: 3.81 (in Debian too) is from 2006, 3.82 from 2010 and 4.0 from 2013.
very cool! but do you worry that making it easier/cheaper to submit to iTunes might cause iTunes to be flooded with "bad" music, thus prompting iTunes to crack down in some way? it seems like the current financial barriers in place might be JUST enough to prevent people from submitting who aren't serious about it, and you could be opening the flood gates
this is exactly the attitude that I think companies ought to have toward open source. Unfortunately I work for a very large institutions and it is extremely difficult to convince them even to permit their employees to contribute to open source projects, much less contributing back to work the company does. It is extremely difficult to explain to the legal department how open source works.
> That's what all the religions and mystics have been telling us for millenia.
If they have been telling it for millenia, they are probably right.

>What's wrong with dying ?
This is actually a subject I speak of with my parents once in a while, they never expected to live longer than a century, so they accept death as a 'natural' part of life, whereas I see death (even of old age) as tragedy, because to me it is supposed to be (or at least to become) optional.

I was convinced death will be optional for me before my majority. It is a belief, since I have no proof of what will be, a belief in mankind's capacities.

Even being a baseless belief, it has literally changed the way I live, and the way I plan my life. I have literally all the time in the world (and hopefully quite a bit more), so no rushed decision.

It also changed the way I see knowledge acquisition, so even if I am actually a currently employed software developer, if someone have an interesting job in genetics, biology or unconventional computing for a software developer, I'm ready to jump ship.
Wow... So yeah, I made this. Woke up this morning to a slew of twitter mentions and quite a few orders. Thank you so much for the support!

There's a step-by-step guide to creating this kind of animated chart by Jim Vallandingham.

Make does not do this directly. Typically you generate a set of dependencies using gcc. gcc can be told to output a rule suitable for use in make that describes the dependencies of a source file. See the -M option and friends.
Exactly. And it sucks donkey balls.
Make only understands rules such as "X depends on Y", but gcc can output these dependency rules (-M* switches). So yes, it is possible to do this but make itself is source code agnostic.
Thank you, it's possible that there is some issues booting a new VM for your project because of the amount of VMs already booted, we are working on these issues.
You can simulate the reaction at a quantum-mechanical level at sub-nanosecond timesteps. That gives you a lot of information that you couldn't get from a test tube!
Well, again, in my family's model of returning cans, there's no initiative involved -- they don't do the work of collecting and they're not responsible for getting the cans to the recycling center; they just go along for the ride and get handed some money.

If hypothetically they were supposed to be responsible for returning the cans, they'd quickly discover that they don't have access to many cans, and that they have absolutely no way of transporting them to a recycling center, or even going to a recycling center without bringing any cans.

My sister visited me over the summer a couple years ago, when she was 8, and I let her hold on to the jiao I received as change (US equivalent value: roughly 1.5 cents to the jiao). This made her happy (especially when she noticed a chinese mother doing the same with her child), but I didn't think it was some big project to teach a child about money; I did it because it made her happy and the quantity of money was too trivial for me to worry about her screwing up. It was trivial for her too; she never saved up enough to buy anything (most likely candidate: a roll of mentos, which would have cost 20 jiao. Turns out it's kind of inconvenient to carry around dozens of tiny coins.).

Anyway, as far as I can see, pretty much the only initiative a child can show is to pester their parents into recycling the cans for them. That doesn't differ much, in my mind, from just pestering the parents into giving them money.
Not at the moment, since I don't use mercurial myself. If there isn't a good mercurial plugin, then maybe that's for someone to look into? Writing a plugin for Sublime Text is quite pleasant (it's done in python).
I might be wrong, but it looks like this card (at the 300,000 level) has already been designed and used in production. On the one hand, that's a lot more confidence in the fact that they can deliver. On the other hand, what's the initial 300k for if the project is already done?

The higher tiers look more interesting, but I don't know how commercially interesting they are. The Kickstarter is so dry, I'm assuming they're targeting researchers, enthusiasts or people who would otherwise spend a lot of time making their own GPU. There's no reason given on the page why I should be interested in helping them, as someone who is only vaguely knowledgable in the area. It seems really specific, and I can't tell if those people are out there, or they're just asking for money from whoever wanders by.

Finally, there's the licensing. If there is a commercial application for this, they might make a ton of money off a 10K tier for a non-GPL license.
Just be careful about drawing too broad a conclusion from stories like this. They're certainly bad events and the effort should be to make sure they never happen. But they are the only stories about entering the US that get reported on because they're news...and the uneventful instances are not. This is particularly true if you get your news from an aggregation site like HN where there is a certain level of interest in these stories and so they're even more likely to be reported on here.

Millions of people travel to and within the US every year without incident, what gets reported is the admittedly terrible sounding times when that's not the case. Chances are very good that you'd have no problems.
Not make by itself, but gcc comes with related preprocessor options[1], in particular -MMD.

Add that to your CFLAGS and include the generated dependency files by adding something like

-include $(OBJECTS:%.o=%.d)

to the Makefile.

Very nice, and much needed part for a truly free and open source devices such as laptops and media centers.

As a side note however, I have one large complaint about the kickstarter video. It lacks enthusiasm, and it almost look like the speaker dreads the camera.
You might have misread a bit. I believe the author is trying to point out that people in other countries don't think about America on a daily basis. They just go on about their lives trying to make a living. Even with the consumption of products which originated in America, people don't really care where it came from.
Blackhole malware exploit kit suspect arrested
Interesting idea - rather than supporting OpenGL and Direct3D, I'd like to see a card that abandons them in favor of a better thought-out API (i.e. general purpose calculation on arbitrarily-sized buffers with arbitrary dimensions and an arbitrary amount of "channels" (or vector/matrix components)). Regardless, I backed it.
Because the video card is made by a small startup (not much info in their web site, just mentions 2 founders) rather than multi-billion nVidia/Intel?
I suggest this one: https://github.com/airblade/vim-gitgutter

It's quite nice, but I would turn off live updating, as that slowed things down a bit for me. Updating on save works perfectly fine.
If you're a company you can already license plenty of GPU IPs for use in your SoC (in RTL form or otherwise).

If you look at the various tiers of this kickstarter you can see you'll have to go up to 600k$ to fund a proper ARM SoC 3D IP with AXI support. And since it's a kickstarter you have absolutely no way of knowing what the end product will look like.

I can't imagine any company betting that much money for RTL code with absolutely no warranty about what the end result will look like and if it's going to even fit in your SoC.

And the code being open source is actually not an advantage since it means all other constructors can then integrate the same GPU in their designs for free.

If it gets funded and it ends up working correctly I'm sure many companies will be interested to try and use it in their designs but I really doubt they'd fund it.
Exactly

Chemistry is applied physics. Chemistry answers that H2 and O2 can be joined to form water under certain conditions, but doesn't answer the "Whys"

Physics answers that. And the answer goes around orbitals, energy states, electrons, etc.
The thing is, this isn't really interesting as a card to slap in your desktop PC. I think the market is people who do embedded projects and want something more open than an Adreno or Tegra chip. Those guys will either put this on an FPGA for prototyping, or layout a board for their specific needs and use an ASIC. Either way, the KS itself can't really ship a hardware part to help them.

Does anybody know of any European politicians who think Snowden did the right thing?

Just any politicians, or politicians in any sort of position of power? He has pretty broad support among both many of the leftist fringe parties and among the more libertarian wings of many of the Liberal parties. Of course most of these politicians are no any position to actually significantly influence anything.
If circumstances are such that monitoring one customer means all customers have to be potentially monitored then that, in practice, is the way things are. After all the TSA operate on exactly the same principle.

It may not, in some airy-fairy, hippy, juvenile world view, be "OK", but again, it is the way things are.
Canadian immigration controls can be just as bad, though you may get water. Like someone said above, it's all about people having power over others with zero accountability.
Yes, but you have to work a little bit for it.

If your rule that builds .o files from .c/.cpp files uses the one of the dependency-generating flags to GCC (options beginning with -M), GCC will create an alternate or additional (depending on the flag) make-compatible file that describes what files were included during the build. If you then include these files in your Makefile with the 'include' directive, then you'll get the behavior you're looking for.

Implementing it correctly can be a little tricky, but once you understand how to do it it's not too bad. As I recall there used to be some subtle issues that required some post-processing of the GCC-generated dependency files to avoid a problem when header files were renamed or removed (foo.c included foo.h, so a dependency was generated; later foo.c was modified to not require foo.h, and foo.h was removed, but the build still thinks it's required to build) -- it looks like GCC now has a -MP option to add phony empty rules for all dependencies, allowing make to power through these.

Outrageous. Really, it is - as an American, I'm ashamed to read stuff like this.

However: does it really belong on HN? It's not germane to the stated topics of the site. And it is not "gratifying one's intellectual curiosity" - quite the opposite, it's a story that makes you mad without really telling you anything you didn't know already.
Are you one of these developers who have been developing for 14 years and is turning 17 next week?

I would recommend you cut your loses and run for the hills. Get a nice developer job for a company which can pay bills, offers a free laptop and can pay for source control.

(The question i have to ask is why not back the code up at lease in dropbox or bitbucket which offers free accounts?)
The article reports, "It was her 13th time to visit the US in a span of more than two and a half decades."

All that is reported here sounds like an aberration, an officer who mistook the situation and abused his authority. For context, the United States continues to be second only to France as a destination for international tourist visits,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Tourism_rankings

and just last week my wife and I enjoyed a meet-up in another part of the United States with several of her high school classmates from back when she lived in Taiwan, who arrived from Taiwan, Malaysia, and China, all without incident. When peaceful, hassle-free visits number in the millions per year, a few visits that are abuses of the process will certainly make news, but they don't appear to discourage tourism to the United States over the long haul.

JavaScript Configuration Object Pattern: JSON Saves the Day
Ask HN: Should software developers weigh in on the U.S. debt limit debate?
The U.S. Treasury system is essentially a large series of software programs for making payments. Treasury officials are claiming they can't modify the software on such short notice to prioritize payments. Also, the world financial system is essential a large software eco-system that operates under the assumption that debt payments from the U.S. will be always be made and U.S. debt instruments will always be available. What would be the best way for computer programmers and software developers to validate the opinions of those who say it is nearly impossible to modify the software on such short notice and attempting to do so might have unintended catastrophic consequences?
I hope that for 10€ most people will find it worth it. If you've already spent 60$ or more on Sublime Text and upgrades, I can see why this might seem weird. However, as the homepage says you can basically install it and use it for free as long as you like. You'll get a popup occasionally (if you do use it), but that's the only "restriction".

Also, for a free alternative, I have to mention https://github.com/kemayo/sublime-text-git which inspired SublimeGit. There are way more people using this, and it's been around forever. Personally I like mine better of course, but I realize that different people need different things :-)
You could try gathering more data.
Why not add the country code into the circles? Right now it is relying on color alone and that is bad. Firstly there is no intuitive or learned connection between a color and a country and secondly it is problematic for people with bad color vision.

> Removing one of the few legit ways the poor can generate money is not the right thing to do.

In terms of legitimacy, recycling bottles is about equivalent to digging holes and filling them in; the money comes from a tax dedicated to the purpose, not from people who want the bottles.

Compare:

- The government pays people $2 / hour to dig holes and then fill them in, using discretionary funds.

- The government pays people $2 / hour to "do whatever you were going to do anyway", using discretionary funds.

- The government pays people $2 / hour to move glass bottles from recycling bins to recycling centers, using dedicated funds.

Are the dedicated funds really a source of legitimacy? Where's it coming from?

Based on what little I do know about GPUs, it seems to me that they are aiming for a hardware-fixed pipeline as a first step, and want to move towards general shader based architecture only as a very-very stretched goal. Am I right? If I see it right what is the reason for that? Couldn't they just jump to a modern architecture, instead of following the evolution of the industry? Excuse me for my ignorance, it's possible that even my assumptions are wrong.

Visualization, shmisulization. Only so much that bouncy balls can do to sex up a strangely parochial list. No ARM, no Tesla. But Blackberry is on the list? Seriously? How many CEOs are currently asking themselves "how can we be more innovative, like Blackberry?"
Wooden chair is pointing out that daily is not a good benchmark. People do not think of any foreign country daily.

A more targeted way of discovering which country is the most prominent worldwide would be to have people list the 5 countries that they think about the most often, weight the responses based on their rank in the list, and tally them up.

People's home country and neighboring countries would be on top, but asking people from all over would smooth that out. The top scoring answer should be geographically neutral.
The difference now, perhaps, is that there is no longer a frontier left. 300 years ago, the people who wanted change and freedom from oppressive governments could sail away over the horizon and set up their own county in a new land. (That's not to deny there were limits to that: You needed to afford a ship, and to gather a large enough mass of people to actually build a successful settlement in the new world, and not to mention the ethical implications of the effects on the natives. All these were real issues, but despite them many people made their way to a new life in the new world, with perhaps a bit more "liberty and justice for all" than there was before.)
Which hypothesis do you mean? The existence of something like a soul? I don't have a hypothesis on that. I'm just not totally convinced that a concept like a soul does not exist on some meta-level.

Yes, I think you can say that the person I was yesterday is a different person than the one I am today or ten seconds ago.

I don't want to die but a copy of myself does not help I think. When my existence ends I don't experience the world anymore. It would be nice to know that someone very similar to me will be there but it does not really prevent me from dying. Transferring me to another (younger) body would be better. But what do we need to transfer and how?

Who can tell? The rank of the US for tourism might be high but could be higher. The same applies to France where I am from. It's ok to be complete assholes with tourists, to charge them 3x times the standard rate, to restrain from learning english, because we are ranked #1 anyway.
