Interesting. After looking at the MXHR more, it appears as though it was adapted from Digg.com[1] (aka DUI.Stream[2]), and then later adapted by Facebook[3].

Yours sounds more elegant in that it can handle JSON naturally, but I wonder if the other might be better suited for binary content (not sure in which context that would make sense, if any).

Either way, I find them all fascinating, and I've starred your project :) Will keep an eye on it.

This ignores the context of the system, which is everything in this controversy.

Apple did not say, "Here's iMessage, it is much more secure than SMS."

Apple said (in essence), "Here's iMessage, we couldn't tap it if we tried."

THAT is false, and all of the nice things you point out about iMessage aren't in dispute and don't have anything to do with the glaring inaccuracy of Apple's claim.

There's only a node side so far as I needed to write for some component tests. It'd work with anything that writes out valid JSON.

I would not say that games become a commodity because anyone can make them now.

You still need to make a game that is playable, has replay value, engages the person and is fun to play. That is no easy task at all.

Some have the gift for it and for those this is an incredible opportunity. I look at Temple Run and Ting Wings on iOS. Two games that stand out for their uniqueness and that were developed by 1 or 2 people.

No one is getting anywhere making another Tetris clone or a match 3 game unless there is really unique twist to the game.

At the end of the day, the tools are much much better but you still need that gift to know what will click with people.

I don't think that making lots of money is a very good reason to write a book - or if that is your reason, you're likely to be disappointed.

A better reason is that it's great resume material: it can be a springboard to getting recognition and open doors that you probably wouldn't enjoy otherwise.

Such a ridiculous comment.

What possible ethical reasons do you have for trying to insure the purity of resumes and portfolios? Why can they not interbreed?

Portfolios authentically demonstrate ability in a way resumes cannot, hence either resumes should direct employers to portfolios or the designer should attempt to blur the forms (yes, the purpose of a design might be to add trustworthy information to a document in the form of visible proof of experience in the medium. As shown: an exchange of message clarity for message trustworthiness.)
The way I see it its actually quite simple: the intrinsic value of X, anything from a piece of code to a building, needs a standard expression, and that expression is fiat currency. Currency has a value as long as someone is willing to trade something for it; the papiermark was worthless because nobody was willing to trade with it, the moment that happens with the US dollar it will become worthless as well.

The reason we use these standards is simple: convenience. We can discuss forever how many lines of code you would have to write to pay for your rent, and what if your landlord doesn't needs any code? then you have to find someone who needs code and is willing to trade it for something your landlord needs and its also equivalent to your rent. Fiat currency in this case is like the metric system: it works (nearly) everywhere.

It's all subjective but I love the new Gmail interfaces, Hangouts is much better than Talk and keeps getting better. Google+ photos is so much better than Picasa, I love how I can search for 'blue cars' in my photos and it returns them even though I've never tagged any of them.

Android has seen enormous improvements, I love stock 4.3 and Google Now.

Chrome's new 'native' apps wrapper-like thing is neat.

Even Youtube has improved a little bit, they've got a nice nifty ajax loader bar up top instead of refreshing the entire page when you go to another video.

But I guess with a different perspective, someone could argue how they don't like any of those changes. But for me, I love them.
True that. Too many people are obsessed with the stock price, when really it's just marketcap/outstanding shares...

Here is one major reason: I have read that Guido van Rossum rejects all CPython patches which simply improve performance, because he thinks Python is "fast enough" and is unwilling to make the code more complex / risk the introduction of new bugs just to make Python faster.

In contrast, the Lua developers always cared a lot about efficiency, not just speed, also memory use, and even GC pause times. They simply have different priorities than the CPython developers.

Quarter after quarter Google needs to monetize more. In their earnings announcements, they love to mention it's only a fraction of what Google can achieve. But their heavy monetization of web assets makes me think, they are at the beginning of the second half of their post IPO life. Of course the Glass, the Car, the Hardware may change everything. That final argument is valid for any company, even for startups and even more for YC startups.
As someone who has seen lots of visual/interactive resumes and done research in this field (I created Vizualize.me, an infographic resume site), I thought this was well done. We can argue design wise about its merit, but the point is, the desired outcome was achieved - it got your attention, it's on the front page, and it was unique. When I read this resume, I'm not paying attention to the actual content but rather to how different and interesting this is. This isn't supposed to merely appeal to a HR person or make HR's job easier. That's a very narrow way of seeing it. The best way to get a job is NOT through the HR department. It's to get the attention of higher ups who make the hiring decision. They are the ones who would more likely appreciate the creativeness, dedication and work put into this.

Romero and Jobs both get slammed on HN consistently. One of the things people like to point out about Jobs is that he couldn't program and never did any real engineering.

To be fair to Romero, he could actually program, make games, and design levels. It's really hard for me to accept the claim that he contributed nothing to id:

>He designed most of the first episode of Doom, most of the levels in Quake, half the levels in the Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D;Spear of Destiny. He wrote many of the tools used at id Software to create their games, including DoomEd (level editor), QuakeEd (level editor), DM (for deathmatch launching), DWANGO client (to connect the game to DWANGO's servers), TED5 (level editor for the Commander Keen series, Wolfenstein 3D; Spear of Destiny), IGRAB (for grabbing assets and putting them in WAD files), the installers for all the games up to and including Quake, the SETUP program used to configure the games, and several others.

He might have made some really poor decisions, but the guy has legitimately been developing games for 30 years. Just look at how many projects he has been involved in: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Romero#Games

Somehow I came out of Masters of Doom with a lot less negative opinion of Romero than others did. Carmack, while clearly a genius, actually seemed like a real jerk at points.
Could do, but why tie to time? What you actually trying to minimise is time spent queueing. So record when people arrive and apply a discount/surcharge depending on how long they queued (or just based on the number of people ahead of them in the queue).

Seemingly perversely, a long wait would imply a higher cost for the meal.

It's basically congestion charging based on queue length/time rather than time of day.

> I don't understand this mentality. rbenv isn't advanced shell scripting by any means. Every working programmer should have the minimal unix skills required to read and understand rbenv in its entirety in one sitting.

I used to think that way too. It's so simple. Why don't people spend a little time to learn their tools? It's not that complicated!

Then, over the years, I realized that that's the wrong attitude. You shouldn't expect users to learn stuff no matter how much you think they should. They already have enough other stuff to worry about. They already have their hands full learning other stuff. And the reason why I thought it was easy, was because I already knew it. Expecting other people to go out of their way to learn the things you know is disrespecting their time.

Therefore, software should be easy to use for new users. Software should have a learning curve that's as low as possible. Software should not expect people to learn things that you think is important.

I am very firmly in the pro-usability camp, even for developer tools.

You said that rbenv isn't advanced shell scripting. You are right, it isn't - for us. However, that doesn't mean that it can be utterly confusing for a lot of people. The concept of environment variables are easy, until you get to the common edge cases. Did you know that environment variables are inherited on a per-process basis, so changing them in your shell does not affect already-running processes, and doesn't affect cron? Did you know adding environment variables to bashrc has no effect on cron, init scripts and the like? Lots and lots of people don't realize that. Do you want those people to give up in frustration? I'd say no. I'd say we should help those people with good documentation, and software that just works.

For example, at the Phusion Passenger mailing list, we regularly get questions from people asking why they get "command not found" errors. Apparently a lot of people don't understand what PATH is, or what environment variables are, or that sudo resets them. So we ended up writing this: http://www.modrails.com/documentation/Users%20guide%20Apache...

>> So do you think that the US higher-ed system is inherently flawed also, with competition between high achievers (i.e. Harvard) and schools that anyone can get into?

Yes, I do think there's a flaw there too. But the paid schools' issue is more complicated because of the "private" money involved. "Private" in that, students are paying directly out of pocket rather than the taxes that go into public high-schools that's less visible to people. What I'd like to see there, is that people who go to the cheaper & less "high society" schools get a chance to take maybe 1 or 2 classes a year at the Havards/Stanfords/Yales/etc just to see what it's like on those campuses. No segregation either; there should not be any way to tell which students are exclusively attending Harvard/Stanford versus the ones on the "visitor" program unless the student him/herself chooses to disclose that info.
It's a poor article, I'd be skeptical about the book too. It talked very little about teaching critical thinking skills, and instead talked about different resource distribution between a few different country's schools.

I think that thinking is not something that can be taught, more that it's something that can be encouraged to be learned. In fact, I think overbearing instruction can encourage kids that they don't need to think for themselves. They will be provided the answer, and if they come to a different conclusion, the person with more authority is right.

I remember having a math test graded incorrectly. I knew I was right, I challenged the teacher. I was told that it was still wrong, but the teacher couldn't explain why, the teacher didn't really understand what they were teaching. I brought it home to my parents who also agreed that I was right, but the test wasn't worth enough to get into a fight over.

That experience was one that, if it were repeated, would have hurt my willingness to think critically.
My experience comes from 7-3 yrs ago. Now I work in Poland and I can see that the bar has been lowered in terms of amount and scope of uni subjects (compared to 10-5 yes ago). My point wasn't that our system is superb-it is not. My point was that it is not that bad in relation to others. I strongly believe in keeping the bar (requirements for passing) very high, the system is doing the opposite while trying to mimick the West.
