IKEA opened their first store outside of Scandinavia in 1973, H&M in 1976 and according to wikipedia Tetra Pak had financial troubles until they became successful in the mid 1960s. Of course Sweden had a major advantage in that its infrastructure wasn't destroyed in WWII.

Becoming a "great hacker" doesn't rely on novelty of solution. It relies on ingenuity.

I'm currently writing a book, and in that book I make a claim: "engineers are addicted to problem solving." This ends up making the engineer apt to searching for a problem where there isn't one. If a problem has a solution, it is no longer a problem.

The real question you are asking, or should be asking, is how do I figure out what the next unsolved problems are?

The answer to that often lay here in the HN comments. We all have new needs daily. Find your needs, or others' needs, and discern whether those needs have solutions. If they do not have an existing solution, or if the existing solution is poorly constructed, there's a good place to start.

Remember, you stand on the shoulders of those who come before you. Just because jQuery solves a problem doesn't mean its time to put jQuery on the shelf. It means it's time to push jQuery to its limits, use it and abuse it. That's what a hacker does.
Yeah, I was curious about this too. There did seem to be an over-emphasis in the article, for what I believed to be common and mild stimulant.
Since I was used as proof of the effectiveness of "puffery", I went to find out what that English word means: "promotional statements and claims that express subjective rather than objective views, which no 'reasonable person' would take literally".

Well, I don't claim to take all my decisions based on pure reasoning. Intuition has a lot to do with my technology choices, because it's built on all my prior experiences and knowledge. I've learned that often keeping it simple is a good thing. There´s a tendency to over-architect and over-abstract, and the cognitive overload of the full stack, end-to-end, is significant.

For front-end JavaScript applications, I've been favorable to AngularJS and Knockout. I've looked into Backbone but it promotes a style of programming I'm done with and I want to have no relation to ever again, so I wouldn't consider Backbone an alternative either way.

So I don't feel diminished or discouraged by negative remarks to say that I'll try Riot's style in the next small app I'll build. It's targeted at mobile, it already depends on jQuery, and I was worried to add another large (for 3G) dependency to it.
I like your way of thinking. You may want to read and contribute to our "Additional Test Types" issue at GitHub [1]. A test type with a larger JSON payload is on the list.

This is the logical equivalent of, "don't hate the player, hate the game." And it holds about as much water. If any company in the world has the warchest to bow out of petty patent politics, it's Apple.
How about blaming both. These positions don't seem exclusive.
Same can be said of many of the websites submitted to HN where people submit their e-mail. There used to be value in keeping your e-mail address to yourself, but it seems people just toss it at whomever willy-nilly these days.

I like the analogy with the prisoner's dilemma, although I think the situation is slightly different. It'd be like playing the game against someone who's repeatedly shown that he'll betray you whenever possible. The optimal strategy in that case is not cooperation.

As for the civilization is dying thing, I'm not prescient, so I can't give a clever answer. But even if it is so, that has no impact on what the optimal behavior is for someone purely selfish. Like good king Louis XV used to say, while bankrupting the kingdom of France: "After Me, the Flood".

Maybe master thesis work differently from where you are...but I think any thesis should start with defining your research problem, and working from their to define the tools you will use to investigate the problem.

Picking the tools first is backwards.

In any case, I think compiling C++ to javascript/webgl using emcscripten is an interesting space, and surely there are a lot of open problems in this area.

Bounty hunting, maybe ...
A new way to analyze data in the cloud
You're right, let's ignore completely realistic failure modes just because nobody's had it happen yet.
MVC is not a design pattern or an architecture. It's just a way of organizing code. Inside the individual implementations of the model, view and control you may have varying design patterns, which is why we have so many different MVC frameworks/implementations.

Another quick note: what you're calling a View in riot.js is actually a Template and your Presenter is probably more of a View than a Presenter.
Um... yes?
Heap (YC W13) is building a new approach to analytics: just capture everything
The problem is that nothing ever gets done in this country, the Alianza sole purpose was to fight corruption and they didn't do anything, the FPV has been riding the gravy train like the oligarchs did a hundred years ago and just putting patches on everything.

The military made a disaster but that was almost 40 years ago. Japan was razed to the ground after a devastating war brought by a military dictatorship and 20 years later they were already considered an economic miracle.
That is correct. We have received many contributions from the community (I would call them subject matter experts, but they seem very humble to me, so I'm not sure what they'd call themselves) to improve the C# tests. It looks as if they have helped quite a bit, as I pointed out in the blog entry that accompanies Round 7.
Traceroute in 15 lines of code using Scapy
Does anyone feel like a book by a non-zen expert that attempts to teach something as deep and ancient as zen through programming analogies actually does more harm than good? It teaches neither programming nor zen, and may contain a number of cherry-picked principles that are devoid of the context necessary for understanding.

I think it would be awesome of someone wrote book about very specific processes that they were able to come up with as a result of practicing some philosophy, and leave the actual teaching of the philosophy to an expert.

Since a lot of you are asking - this doesn't store numbers, collect data, or track anything other than hits via Google Analytics and API hits on Twilio.

No marketing scam, no selling of address books - just a little hack to make people smile.

I really, really really, really really really hate things that collect data and use it for marketing purposes or spam. I added a disclaimer to the bottom of the page (thanks @seszett for that idea) with words to that effect too.
> the U.S. military told them to shoot those people.

Yes. What you are leaving out is the rest of the story. Let's go to a neutral source:

Leaked U.S. video shows deaths of Reuters' Iraqi staffers
http://www.reuters.com/article/2010/04/06/us-iraq-usa-journa...

"It showed an aerial view of a group of men moving about a square in a Baghdad neighborhood. The fliers identified some of the men as armed.

WikiLeaks said the men in the square included Reuters photographer Namir Noor-Eldeen, 22, and his assistant and driver Saeed Chmagh, 40, who were killed in the incident.

"The gathering at the corner that is fired up on has about nine people in it," Julian Assange, a WikiLeaks spokesman, told reporters at the National Press Club.

The gunsight tracks two of the men, identified by WikiLeaks as the Reuters news staff, as the fliers identify their cameras as weapons. Military spokesman Turner said that during the engagement, the helicopter mistook a camera for a rocket-propelled grenade launcher.

The helicopter opened fire on the small group, killing several people and wounding others. Minutes later, when a van approached and began trying to assist the wounded, the fliers became concerned the vehicle was occupied by militants trying to collect weapons and help wounded comrades escape." [Emphasis mine]

Now, going to the second link, we read the description of the video as such:

"5th April 2010 10:44 EST WikiLeaks has released a classified US military video depicting the indiscriminate slaying of over a dozen people in the Iraqi suburb of New Baghdad -- including two Reuters news staff." [Emphasis mine]

Was the killing done without judgement? Without consideration? They weren't just firing on civilians. They were firing on what they could make out as militants.

You can argue that the rules of engagement are wrong. That we can't just rely on the eyes on the ground to give us reports. That someone saying they see a weapon is not a strong enough reason for allowing them to open fire. You can argue that we have to wait until people are fired upon, or die, before reacting. But your comment just spreads misinformation.
I think Meteor can "kill" things like backbone, angular, ember.

I love the way it was a group of 6 or 7 tech companies who bought the patents but you choose to single out apple. Was there a reason for this in particular ?
One of the best "advertorials" for a Kickstarter I've seen yet. Made total sense as the conclusion of the article. I backed.
The lack of framework-ness is what makes it interesting: you're not handing your entire app's architecture to a framework and hoping for the best. This library knows its place, and it is happy to be there, instead of spreading itself all over your code and claiming it is helping you.
There was another post here on HN about Go and working with images, the author was very impressed with the standard library because it could do a lot with images.

Unfortunately, I have tried to search for the article but I can't find it.

We're in the enterprise search business. That's Google for BigCorp. Our own search engine. It's hard, and it's fun.

We use many technologies. The top ones are C++, C#, Java, Scala, JavaScript, Python. We have many customers, and we're growing at a very fast pace.

People here are fun & talented. Nice colorful office, and frequent donuts. And Quebec is a very nice city.

Well yes, that's the problem. Proper security is onerous, there's no use crying about it. Either do it right or accept that you're insecure. :P

Fix all the problems you can, of course, defense in depth is always a good idea. But hackers managing to alter a mirrored file without getting access to the website itself happens more often than you'd like to admit, and even hackers getting access to both a website and a tarball can be mitigated by signing tarballs instead of just listing sha sums.

If you trust your website won't be hacked to serve malicious code then you might do away with signing and cryptographic checksums, but then that only makes using TLS that much more important to avoid having your tarball zoinked by a MitM during transit.

TypeScript was obviously on your mind. The readme states 'Functions in TypeScript can have zero or more arguments in general, just like in Javascript.' You might want to change that to 'PureScript'
"Such an amount"? Aren't you blowing things out of proportion a bit?
It looks like the meat of $.observable is mostly just passing thru to jQuery https://github.com/moot/riotjs/blob/master/riot.js#L29-L54 I don't really have an opinion on whether this is good or bad but it's worth noting that jQuery is doing the heavy lifting here.

A couple code notes:

* why, in the observable function, are you switching functionality not by the name of the function called ('on','emit', etc.) but by the index of that function name in the array on line 32? This strikes me as brittle because adding to or rearranging that array would cause the whole function to fall apart. It's also harder to read- I'm looking at `if(i == 2)` rather than `if( fnName === 'emit' )`. Does this yield a significant performance gain or is it just to juice the final "weight" of the library (<1kb)? I ask because it sure as heck makes the code harder to read.

* Using `name` & `names` as variable names makes the code harder to read, as it doesn't give any meaningful context about what the variable stores (besides the fact that it probably represents a thing that has a "name"). It looks like in this case it represents event names but more descriptive variable names would eliminate this ambiguity & it would make no difference to the code weight after minification.

I bring these things up because this lib looks cool & I like the "you can easily read the whole source" point, but this obsession with brevity (that's what it looks like at least) causes code readability to suffer & greatly diminishes the benefit of being able to "easily read the whole source." Make the code more readable & more people will use the project & contribute. :)
So if I'm looking for different types of freelancers I can't post that? This is a freelancer thread, we should be able to post who were looking for.
> - The evidence seems to be that the bigger the government, the wider the gap between the rich and the poor. This might sound counter-intuitive, but that's the date we have.

It sounds counterintuitive because it's absolutely unabashedly false. Nordic countries, whose governments are bigger than any, have greater equality than 3rd world African countries, where government is non existent.

This is just more libercrazian BS; the data that you have is completely whack, which is probably why you didn't bother to cite it.

Isn't what he is suggesting just modularity in programming?
"Pretty much anyone out there is infringing," said Rockstar's CEO, John Veschi.

Isn't that the definition of a broken system of selection?
Something like this is great. However, it leaves me wondering if it wouldn't be even better, if 3d scans couldn't also be made.
