Ask HN: Age preferences for grad school?
I have been offered a sweet deal at a great grad school but I am nearly 30 and feel like I'm a bit old for it. Any pros and cons from your experiences as to good ages and limits for grad school?
All good and well but to go at your list in order:

I am in a healthy state at this point in time I don't find taking pills or medication at specific intervals hard or even bothersome, I can even time it out with my cellphone reminders.

As it goes with the healthy state I don't think this much matters if it could do that over say one of those annoying heart monitors a friend has to do every year I'm sure he would do it but that isn't really what we are discussing.

This is already a lot of what ifs and this is something I most definitely would not want as it would also require that my exact position be available so emergency services could get to me.

I'm all for life and everything but if I need a chip to save me I'm probably in the middle of nowhere away from any contact or emergency services that could get me in time.

I am really fine with the current U.S. identification system as I had my identity stolen once by an illegal immigrant but it was easily solved with a birth certificate, social security cards and a credit lock. These devices factor in too much extra risk especially since it says its basically the same technology as the wireless poll paying system how do you know you won't walk by someone and your identity is just taken like that?
Yeah, I definitely should. I didn't realize the price had dropped so low.
Yeah, it's amazingly accurate for now only because the training data consists of a high percentage of the actual data set, and so it's probably classifying based on those insignificant differences. We'll see how it holds up...
Industrial sabotage involving the theft of software written in Erlang which keeps Goldman Sachs quite literally one of the most powerful financial groups in the world.

There are multiple neato headlines that could be written for this, I wouldn't have chosen this one, but it's not a non sequiter at all.
The end result is the same. You can't use <video> if you want it to work on all platforms.
How are the two different? You might as well say that I will be dead in the next minute. What makes me is not this instant, this second, is the core me, the core ideas, perspectives, themes, aims.
Streamline Funnel System.com
Thanks for the suggestions. I am planning to add a feature of allowing users to add their own referrer ID or to disable the redirects to amazon altogether, I'm thinking how to present that not to confuse those who don't know or care about referrer IDs.
I think this makes sense. I spent almost a year working on a startup because it was novel technology, easy money and good market timing. I never really stopped to think about the fact that I didn't even like the service. What a waste of time.

They seem to already have a business plan that works pretty well.
Thanks. I'll definitely post the code soon. I'm using the title, the submitter's name, the URL, and the page content without tags (only looking at <p> and similar tags would probably help). Including the content of the HN comments pages might help, too. Thanks for the link; I'll check it out.
Ah, but you can like so:

The author would seem to be suggesting that the process of writing is a task that not only expresses what we are trying to say, but benefits us by making our thoughts coherent. While I think this is a valid argument (I often start writing when I'm trying to get my thoughts in order) I don't think that it necessarily benefits our culture in total.

A response to our supervisor’s clever status update on Facebook is written carefully, so to keep the repartee going. Concision and wit are privileged in these new forms. Who would not welcome shorter, funnier prose?

An interesting ideal, to be sure, but not something that is actually seen in our interactions. More people are writing, but this does not imply that more people are thinking about writing. The "25 Things" lists mentioned are not filled with creative, original and interesting thoughts as implied by the article, instead they are filled with nonsense and inane "LOL"s and "I don't really know...haha".

It would be a nice world if more people cared about what they wrote, but writing only reflects thinking. If a persons thoughts are crap when they speak, nothing will change when they start pecking at a keyboard.
You can value them however you like, but I imagine the enlightened front will continue to push for token equality amidst the harsh realities of disparate wealth and opportunity and a small minority of bigots, while society at large remains unconcerned with intelligence, maintaining its longstanding fascination with wealth, status and charisma.

Then again, these drugs only cost pennies so they could really even the playing field. Starbucks needs to hurry up and invent the amphetamine latte.
There's a lot of people with money who don't know the smart way to use it with consistent results. Or didn't, until just recently.
CLOS is probably the best, if you ignore the fact that built-in types aren't actually objects. (They can pretend to be, but aren't. You also can't make built-in functions generic, which is quite annoying.)

Moose is a close second, and provides a lot of sugar that I really wish I had in CLOS. Roles are pretty much mandatory for proper OO these days, and Moose is the only production system that has them. I also love sugar like lazy_build. The type constraint system is just wonderful.

Continuing down, Ruby is a bit better than Python, but both are workable. They give you what you would expect from class-based OO, and you have a basic MOP, too.

At the bottom are Java, C++, and PHP. This style of "OO" barely resembles OO. Java is probably the worst here, but C++ makes it very hard to do things right. PHP's design simply makes no sense at all. None have any useful MOPs to speak of, unless you consider "reflection" a metaobject protocol.

Smalltalk is a special case; it is obviously pure OO, but the features it provides to the programmer are less numerous than other systems. Smalltalk is what Java should have been, before Java was even conceived.

Anyway, my advice is to try them all and decide what you like best. CLOS has features I wish Moose had, and Moose has features I with CLOS had, but they are both quite usable, and allow me to model my program cleanly. It is also easy to steal features for one from the other.

The key feature of Moose and CLOS is their extensive MOP, which lets you tweak or completely override nearly every feature of the object system. Instance storage, method calls, attribute behavior, etc., etc., is all implemented in "itself". The end result is that you can extend the object system with the object system that you are extending. This is powerful because it means your extensions can be written in your extensions, making for code that works exactly how you desire. No compromises. (Moose is an object system built on top of Class::MOP, and it is possible to write Moose extensions in Moose. Excellent!)

Python and Ruby have a MOP, but it is not as featureful. Compare the availability of meta-object-protocol extensions for CL, like Elephant and Context; and for Perl, like the entire MooseX:: namespace; with extensions available for Ruby and Python. It is just not close

Even if you don't care about the MOP for yourself, you will care about how easy it makes writing useful libraries. Most of the MooseX:: modules you will find compose and work perfectly with other MooseX:: modules. The metaobject protocol makes sure everything stays compatible.

Personally, when I start using object systems other than Moose and CLOS, the implementation details get in the way of writing good code. I avoid them when possible. (If you haven't used Moose or CLOS, please don't reply and say, "oh, Java is fine, you're using it wrong". You don't know enough to make that argument.)

it seems that it should be possible to create a mechanism which could cover these fees for open-source projects. Perhaps someone like Mozilla or Canonical or other open-source advocates could create a fund for such things?

Since the fees are capped, some organization could just pay the cap, distribute a "free" codec, and write the cost off as a marketing expense. Mozilla can afford to do this, but refuses on principle.

Is there anything like this for .mp3 support?

Fluendo distributes a "free" MP3 decoder; they pay the license fee on behalf of users.

Apparently the lower limit on investments is only 50K, they're going to have to install a revolving door to be able to handle the number of people pitching.

300M / 50K = 6000 investments in the absolute worst case (or best case, depending on how you view it), let's assume they do one in 10 (which would be quite high) that's 60K pitches!!
What a nasty person.
Clearly you've neverheard of Common Lisp
Cool stuff. I think Anreessen gets the whole startup thing a lot more than the current crop of investment bankers.
True, the dependent variable should be on the left. Sometimes it matters less, for example to express that two sides have the same length, a = b and b = a would both be acceptable.

Possibly more important, you would never see:

a = 3
a = 4

Begs the question: which is it, 3 or 4? Or does 3 = 4 too? Just a reminder that the operators really are equality, not assignment.
Why don't you provide a flag kind of button for each article that lets user train the classifier online?
you realize this the first time you work somewhere that has standards high enough that you are the least effective person on the team.

But yeah, everyone /needs/ that experience of being in a place where they are the least competent person on the team. I have met people who have not had that experience, and they are nearly impossible to work with. Just saying, though, school isn't the only place to get that experience.
As a web developer I prefer the last option listed: allow video to use any and all codecs installed on the users computer.

BUT, expose this information to the server, so I know which video to serve. Add an Accept-Video-Codec and an Accept-Audio-Codec header, and that is all you need to do.

For extra points send some information on screen resolution in the headers, instead of making me use javascript for it.

The reason this is good is that browers don't need to support anything. They just use the media libraries on the computer. If I want more codecs, I install them, I don't need to convice the browser to support them.
That's a great idea. Right now it's just spitting out a static HTML file, so that'd require some significant changes to the code. I'll see how it's doing tomorrow and consider making it into something like what you describe.
And if the fuel in a hydrogen car decided to burn, everyone in its vicinity will find out in a real hurry - a fire that looks different is still a fire.

Though his point is valid - hydrogen will burn extremely quickly, we used to do these as demonstrations in school. Where a pool of gasoline will burn over a period of time, a tank full of hydrogen will burn almost instantaneously to disastrous effect - forget about rescue, the only sort of "rescue" will be body retrieval of whatever is left.

Neither my college or department library had a reserve system.

The department wouldn't let you take key textbooks out of the library, but you could easily squirrel one away in a corner and work for days uninterrupted.
Are you using the reverend thomas library? http://www.divmod.org/trac/wiki/DivmodReverend

I've been wanting to use that library for something just like this. I would love to read a write up of this, or see the code at some point.

Thanks
I agree with you entirely - converting clean electricity into a finicky form of transport seems ill-advised. That being said, battery technology has a long way to go before being able to power a car entirely.

For one thing, energy density needs to improvement by an order of magnitude to make mass application useful, and the average lifetime of the battery I would say would have to increase 2-3x. Batteries are expensive to manufacture and the ecological impact of disposal is also extremely high - better to make longer-lasting batteries than cheap crap.

Isn't 1024 days a more appropriate anniversary?
Just as I looked forward to the "proper" millennium of 2001, I look forward to the "proper" "1000" celebration 24 days from now.
I can't speak for the author - but there is some evidence that, to produce our power needs via wind/tidal means on a large scale (i.e. an appreciable portion of total production) would cause as of yet hard to predict ecological impact. You sap the energy out of your tide and wind and bad juju will happen to your environment.

Am I the only one who think that the Harry Potter books are not for children? I read them all and after the 4th the story becomes very dark. I really liked them, It has been years since I wasn't so eager to read the next chapter in a book, but I am not sure I would like to give this to my children. At least not very young.
Personal Development With Dumbo - How To Make An Elephant To Fly
If you can afford it, why not? You'll learn a bunch of cool stuff, have time to think about what you want to build, and meet interesting people. Grad school for me, was the first time where age didn't seem important. We just worked on fun stuff and socialized as little or as much as we wanted.

The only real con is that your earnings will take a hit during, and maybe, after depending on what you're working on. It also depends on the sweetness of the deal.

I'm not really sure how it's going to work in Chrome, though. The article says they are going to support both codecs. As a result it's up to browser which video source to choose. It's interesting whether it will pick the first source or the 'preferred' one (presumably, mp4). Is it possible to set the source preference in HTML? Like:

<video>
<source src="example-video.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
<source src="example-video.ogv" type="video/ogg" default/>
</video>

or something similar?
You're not taking into account the amount they reserve for follow-up investments after their initial seed investment.

Exactly. They could easily reserve over 50% of the fund for follow-up.
The author makes wild speculation about "rogue code" but from the technology in use it doesn't sound as much some kind of super-high-tech world-dominating intelligent decision algorithm so much as just a specialised, high volume, distributed message queue.

I guess other firms might be interested in how GS approached the problem, but it's a quite a leap to state that the matter "could (and likely should) become a matter of National Security".
Neuromancer at 25: What It Got Right, What It Got Wrong
I just saw a .deb in the new packages that installs the pwdhash plugin for Firefox and thought it was a pretty neat idea. Perhaps only a tiny additional line of defense, but if site A is careless with my password, it's nice to know that someone can't easily login to my account on site B. Does this make sense or do you think it's just too much trouble for what it gains you?

That's a cool extension, but I can't see it gain massive popularity. There is a class of problems with it that wfor a site ould be solved if you make it a bookmarklet (with a companion site): does it support your browser, what if you need to log in from a computer that doesn't have this browser extension?

The real problem is that if you are security-conscious enough to understand how this works and why you need it, you are not using the same password over and over again. E.g. I have a "weak" password that I use on HN and many other sites, but my mail and sites that involve (even remotely) money get an individual password each.
They don't let you actually delete your own account, but giving them a "written slip" via e-mail works - they'll remove your account. I'm not sure to what degree they remove stuff though. I think your profile is removed and your tags/links are void.

There's definitely some chamber of commerce talk in there when valley advocates describe the valley, but there's still value in it because... I for one had no idea what it was really like, and I'd been acting in ways designed for the valley, that don't work outside the valley.

Was GS's interest in running the code proving economic theory

Ofcourse not. They (or at least the author of the article) are just crying us a river
because someone stole their cash cow. I can only say: If a large part of their profit was truly based on automated trading by that software then perhaps they should have protected it better in first place? Or is homework now optional when you're in a position to cry for government bailouts?

Anyways, if there's really a software to print money (which this article seems to suggest) then could someone please send me a copy? I'm very curious about this efficient-market theory and would really like to help to prove it...
I once tried to remove my Facebook account. I found a form (via Google) for this purpose and filled it out. However I got an error reply via email which looked like the email sent by the SMTP form was not being accepted by some Facebook server. I complained of this via support, and within one day they removed my account.

It is an interesting article, but why is it posted on HN?
I'm with you. Not sure what the appropriate age is, but my friends read their 4 year old the books... and, don't think that was necessarily the best idea. I'm actually screening the Aristocats tonight to see if it's OK :)

That being said, my babysitter growing up lived in the woods... we ate bear stew for most dinners... and they only rented me horror movies. I saw all Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday 13th movies by the time I was about 8. Yeah, I had some twisted nightmares once in a while, but I think most kids do anyhow, and... I turned out alright!

I would like to add:

- does not over-engineer

A good programmer abstracts and generalizes as much as reasonably necessary and no further. A mediocre programmer will over-abstract the system for pointless 'extensibility' that will never be used. A bad programmer just outright doesn't do anything.

A mediocre programmer always codes with the "kitchen sink" mentality, targeting specifications that do not exist, but in their own minds do.
