The Art of Collaboration 
Collaboration: arguably, the single most important and under-appreciated thing in business since the Ark of the Covenant was used as a filing cabinet. No matter how challenging the project or important the deadline, people only think of their part - they assume the “communication” thing will happen automatically because people talk all the time.

Count me in. Sometimes I go to dzone for my fix of programming news but they have pretty much zero discussion, which is essential in order to debunk the crappy articles.
You can! Although there is still 30 seconds run time limit, it's much more better than cron based solutions. For one you can run tasks in parallel.
You can also use something like schema-migration example from Google IO presentation. So one task executes and after it's done adds new task to task queue.

They also plan MapReduce on top of task queue, that'll be even better suited for your job.

Why not just use the reddit codebase?
A little anecdote. A friend of mine who's working on his Ph.D at CMU sped up his physics group's simulations by an order of magnitude by simply running the same code multiple times on multiple machines. The problem was that the choice of initial random seeds could nontrivially effect the convergence time. There are examples of this in generic programming. Look at quicksort for example. Picking the right pivot can matter a great deal.
Ah, that's not surprising. Thanks.

I enjoy the engineering tunnel vision that good days on HN provide me. On the bad days, HN, for me, is sort of only the culture and pieces of society that those who don't know much about either are interested in. To learn about people, places, and things I don't know anything about that aren't hacking related - I go outside.

How about Xubuntu? Personally, I prefer Xfce to Gnome or KDE (though that's very much a matter of taste), and it's lightweight enough that I've had it running on P2s with 64MB of RAM.

There's also Gentoo, which I've had running on just about everything (Sparcs and MIPS included), but it takes some dedication.
I've noticed a recent trend in iPhone game development articles that implore, "Here be dragons, don't waste your time". Curious, I continue to read and find almost all games were developed by a single developer inside of a month. That's barely enough time to generate and playtest a central game mechanic, let alone develop and polish an entire casual game.

Spend some time on game design quality!
I've played that game at least two other times, one of which was on my old Palm III. He didn't have to test a mechanic, he just took one.

I'm not trying to make a moral judgment, just adding some info you may not have. The game is not original.

Factors That You Need To Take Investing In Real Estate Property
When you are planning to invest your money in real estate properties and homes for sale, you need to take into consideration number of factors before you use your money on the real estate property.First of all, you need to be very clear about your own intentions of why you would like to invest in a real estate property at a given point of time in your life.You may be looking for a suitable home for your own use or you may already have a home and looking for a second home to enhance your investments.
What makes the English Haaretz better? I don't speak Hebrew but I remember comparing the (paper) English and Hebrew editions of Haaretz and not noticing much difference. I can't specifically recall looking past the front page though.

My tour guide in Israel was a former Haaretz English translator and he nitpicked several things in my English copy, saying their translators had gotten sloppy since he left.
A few clever online aggregators--YouTube? Hulu? Cable companies? Netflix?--will create nice video portals and build powerful new businesses. At these portals, you'll be able to sign up to watch anything in the world on any device you want. You'll be able choose among multiple subscription models (monthly, a la carte).

I would be quite positive about such a development. Unlike newspapers, I - and millions like me - pay a significant monthly outlay for TV (Dish in my case) for a lot of stuff I don't actually want (as opposed to my newspaper-reading self, who spends a lot less money for stuff I do want).

For example I pay a significant amount of money to subscribe to a foreign channel in which I only watch one program. I also subscribe to a motorsport channel so I can watch one series. I would be very happy to go a la carte - (eg. pay for programs I want to DVR). I probably would be okay with spending similar amounts of money for more shows I want to watch.

Also, TV has various successful pay models already including subscription (HBO) and PPV, which will probably translate a lot better onto the Internet than the newspapers models did.

That said, I do agree with the author that there will be a rearrangement of the landscape.

It's not easy to find a company with revenues as big as Apple's that does design so well.

I've noticed that too. There seems to be an inverse correlation between company size and the quality of design. I think Apple is almost pseudo-exception to this though, since their ID team has less than a dozen people. Or maybe it's just because their CEO has taste.

But a lot of the best design still goes completely unnoticed. An object as simple as a Band-Aid might not evoke the same emotional response as a sleek aluminum MacBook or a Porsche 911, but I'd argue that its design is just as revolutionary and even more influential to the world.

Braun to me seems like Apple's older brother. Or at least just Dieter Rams.

Toodledo/rackspace outage, customer reaction
no, it would work. it doesn't have to be DRM per se, just automated public key encryption and signing using something unique such as the phones IMEI number.

it is very possible to implement encryption and signing without having the user go through key generation etc. make it all transparent and give them a lock to click on if they want to make the message and attachments secure. PGP already has a similar product, and hushmail is pretty easy to use.

(I submitted this story, I am a happy toodledo pro user but have zero other connection with the company)

Summary: due to a combination of a rackspace oopsie and some sub-optimal data engineering, the online task management service at toodledo.com was off air for 16 (!!) hours. The story is the thread in their customer forum relating to the event.

Aside from the technical explanation, the thing that makes this story interesting is how their users (a significant portion of which can barely function without the site, being twitchy GTDers) reacted to all this. The predominant feeling in the forum responses is "Hey, these things happen, never mind".

In my experience, the toodledo folks could give lectures on customer-company interaction - their handling of their user forums has always been impeccable in the year I have used them. I think this goes to show that if you treat your users right, they will really cut you some slack when the Bad Stuff happens.

A lesson some other services I use could usefully learn...
Well, first problem is to define "immediately adjacent". In analysis, there is no point "next to" the point 0. I assume you mean a small neighborhood.

There are several ways to define these things. For example, in a small neighborhood, the particles could move at a speed proportional (ish) to the distance from the point. When you take 3D into account, some move tangentially, some move radially (ish) and it can all be smoothed out. It's easiest to imagine the entirety, then try to extend the macro movement smoothly into the corners. By using tricks such as asymptotic slowing it can all be done.

Are you having trouble visualising? Or are you worrying about the precise details. This is not a good medium for discussing either. A good text or tutorial on fluid mechanics will cover the various techniques for mapping an obvious flow into a less obvious flow.
I've got a K1 and a K2 - neither of which are suitable for technical references. We started playing with the DX at work today, reading Stephens TCP/IP Volume II (Implementation) and some Network Diagram PDFs. It's _almost_ there. The PDFs of Network Diagrams took a little long to render (about 30 seconds) and weren't quite readable on the 6pt font. Stevens was pretty good, and the page turning was reasonable. So close, but not 100% yet.

Amazon _finally_ nailed the page turning buttons - it's as good as I think it will ever get. K1 basically required a wild finger ballet to avoid turning pages - 75% of the time I ended up changing a page when picking it up anyways. K2 went overboard, and required a painful push in an awkward spot on the buttons to get the page to turn. The DX lets you pick up the device on the left side (no buttons) without worrying about changing a page, and the right side is just perfect. No accidental page turns, but not much effort to make it happen. It's very natural - kudos. Optimized for right handed people (as all books are, of course)
-- Edit (all english language books, that is)

I think the DX will open up a whole new audience, but we'll require at least one more iteration before I abandon my technical bookshelf. We still need:

o A hair more resolution.

o Slightly faster page turns (though we're pretty close to where we need to be)

o Most important - some mechanism/metaphor for random page seeks - Flipping around a technical book is important, and there isn't a great way to do this on the Kindle yet.

o I don't really care about color, but I recognize for some disciplines it's an issue.

Still up in the air as to whether a tablet will manage to do this better than the Kindle. As an aside - I tend to do 50% of my reading on the iPhone Kindle App these days, saving my K1/K2 for the camping/beach/outside where they perform better in bright light (and have a great battery advantage)
May well be true, although there's a difference between being introverted and not having an opinion.

There are no shortage of extroverts who aren't going to let not having anything to say stop them from saying it. On the other side of the equation, if you manage to persuade your introverts to share their conclusions, you can get a beautiful signal-to-noise ratio.
he/she will most likely go to Amazon and give a negative rating to the member/particular review

I doubt that. Most people do not rate reviews and simply won't take the trouble of going back to the product page to rate a review.
The Importance of Raksha Bandan and Rakhi Gifts
India is the land of festivals.People belonging to different culture and religion celebrate the festivals altogether with joy and happiness.There are various festivals being celebrated in India - Raksha Bandhan, Diwali, Dushera,Holi,Baisaki,Id,Christmas etc.Among all the festivals, one of the important festival is Rakhi or Raksha Bandhan.
beyond the aforementioned embarrassingly parallel problems I don't think we'll see much performance increase once we reach the point where each app/process is running on its own core.
to me the difference between a consumable and other forms of entertainment is that once you've experienced a certain aspect once you don't need to experience it again. You can play mario 1000 times because the fundamental action of jumping from platform to platform is fun. Consumable games in contrast have many mechanics that, lacking the overall motivating factor of advancing the experience forward, are things you would never choose to do.
Good post. I find it really interesting that you'd have a bunch of ideas that you did actually follow through, though I am left with the following questions:

1. What was the timeline between the projects, how much time did you spend with them ?

2. Whats the aftermath of PolishMyWriting and Kindling ? What did you learn, etc ? Where did it take you ?

Looking forward to a follow up post

The more interesting point made in that article wasn't about multicore. But was actually about the distance from the CPU that memory is from the modern CPU. Remember when programmers were hand counting instruction timings and code size on their 386? Well that's become even more important today.

If you can get your code size into L2 (or even better L1), you can win a factor of 1000x speedup. One reason why I still use a compiled language.
If you are prepared to use a non ascii character in your user name you can often register weird names.
Wow. That's actually not bad at all.

I own a Sony PRS-505 and its weaknesses are sort of shared with the K1 and K2(minus the big amazon library). I hope that Sony is still planning on competing in this space. I'd be interested to see what they would come up with.

Having said that, I am very tempted in getting a DX.
That emacs mode is amusing. Someone should tell him about macros :)

(I'm not trying to be critical, BTW. I just find it interesting when extraordinary people do ordinary things, like writing an emacs mode to colorize a given line.)
An example of an IT department that's a revenue-generator is Amazon's, in the sense that they sell services outside of the company. But that's quite rare. At most, some IT departments chargeback internally, but that's just made-up money.

Then again, I think it was Bezos himself who described Amazon as a technology company that happened to sell books too.
That's the fun part. The tool says everything is good to go. That's partially why I felt so burned by it, having assurances that everything I was doing was implemented. Running the code, it doesn't even thow. It just quietly exits.

After a few weeks running into issues like that, I just quietly exited myself. Windows EC2 boxes are only 25% more expensive than Linux ones, and they run .NET natively and correctly, so my particular problem is solved.
If I could subscribe to other HN members' posts and upmodded links, I could, in theory be able to preemptively sort the posts that I liked in common with those users. All it would take is a new menu item at the top of the page- called 'peers'. When a HN user posts a link I find most appropriate to my lifestyle, I have the option to subscribe to future links posted by that HN user; all of the links ( or even comments ) of the peers I subscribe to would be listed in chronological order on the 'peers' page.

If a similar functionality was enabled and the link posting member was able to tag the submitted link, I think it would make it more efficient for the subscribing member to get the appropriate content listed first- that is, if the subscriber could choose to subscribe to the links that were relevantly tagged by each peer.

Simply put: if you ( yes you ) submitted a link that was tagged 'emacs', and I had subscribed to your links tagged as such, I would see it listed on my peers page ( likely near the top, even if I missed a few days ). If you submitted a link tagged 'founder inspiration' and I did not subscribe to that tag of yours, I would only see that link on the front page ( if it made it; and I saw it in time ).

The fact that legitimate sites ask for this information is really bad for consumers. It makes them think it's business as usual to just give away their passwords to anybody that happens to have a website and a button that says "Import my contacts" or "Tell my friends" or "Send me money" or whatever.

Even if we can trust Facebook with this information, it lends an air of nonchalance to the practice.

I've ignored the "Direction of Flow" arrows on some long lengths and had them fail, reversed the cables and had it work. There is real engineering that goes into these things

You're bullshitting us. At least, I hope you are, otherwise you are sadly misguided. There is no way in hell you can design a cable in such a way that it will pass signals in one direction, but not in the other.

Resistance, skin effect, impedance, capacitance, cross talk and inductance all conspire to disrupt the data

You're just repeating electrical engineering terms without understanding them. Impedance is the combined effect of resistance, capacitance and inductance. The skin effect is an effect that adds to the resistance.

They all don't 'disrupt' the data. In the simplest terms, the resistance influences the amount of power required to transfer a signal, due to losses in the cable. The capacitance influences the amount of time required to transfer a signal, because it may be viewed as the resistance to signal change. Inductance is the only one that may change the signal, but it only influences AC signals, which, at most, act as the carrier for a digital signal. It doesn't change the digital signal.

The fact that Infiniband cables are cheaper than these kind of HDMI cables should also be recognized as a large red neon sign screaming: you're being scammed.
Apple tried to murder FireWire--and failed. For now.
Yes. It is always good practice to involve more than one person when defining specifications for anything.

Just two weeks ago I bought a second hand laptop from the type of guy who actually uses Tagged. I can give you a profile:

- Single male, 40+

- Low income

- He and his house were a mess.

- Smokes a lot (the laptop still smells horrible, after cleaning thrice)

He actually left all his shit on the laptop and when I opened Firefox, Tagged.com opened, with his account logged in. Call me an amoral bastard, but I checked out his account, here is the sole reason he uses Tagged:

To meet women. The only women on Tagged apparantly are East-European women, who would like to marry a West-European guy.
He told me he was selling the laptop because he was going on a holiday to Lituania and he needed the money. Nobody goes to Lituania on a holiday, I initially thought he must have family there. But in his messages I found out he hooked up with some girl. So, I guess Tagged can serve your goals.. if your goals are shady like the site.

The blogger needs more evidence.

.

He should write a script to harvest a subsection of Amazon.
Then he should parse the results and see how closely correlated the Vine-to-Bad-Review there is.

.

A couple of data points here or there are not very convincing, but if he sampled say 10,000 products he could say:

* How many have reviews from Vine?

* Of those Vine reviews, what is the distribution of votes?

* Of non Vine reviews, what is the distribution?
