In my experience, East Asian surnames tend to indicate the geographic origin of your ancestors, rather than their professions. In the case of the Kims, chances are you had an ancestor in Gimhae. (OTOH, I wouldn't be terribly surprised to learn that Gimhae was once famous for its blacksmiths or goldsmiths.)

I'm still waiting for that ticket, sure seems like you're backing out.
This is a fascinating article. I wonder if France will face the same type of issues with their ultra-wealthy taxes (75%+ over 2M).

Yes, it is "just" lots of math-- IF you know what the atmospheric conditions will be like. Having worked with a few atmospheric density models, I have the distinct impression that they are meant to give a mean density estimate but that variations are significant and velocity variations are not even modeled.
I'm not sure if I agree with the sentiment that you need to pivot. There is a huge need to create a website by individuals and companies. Not everyone wants a social media page.

Very successful sites and in the same space as you.

Your site design was very clean and I was initially interested. The only deterrent for me was the FB login.
India was never Communist. It was Socialist(it still is to a large degree). Big difference.
Thanks for the laugh.

There's too much to explain what it could be used for instead. All in time we'll all find out.
Just a quick thanks to HN
Hey guys-- no need to upvote... just wanted to say thanks to the community at large for the links to my site recently. I'm the guy who bought and island with friends and who made the cruise site.

Very happy for the traffic/etc, but more for the excellent feedback. Got a lot from the comments in both. Seems like it's en vogue to hate on the HN community these days, but my experiences have been really positive. Thanks!
Bootstrapped / friends and family only funded companies are the majority. You just don't hear about them much because they don't make for good headlines.
That sounds like an unironic implementation of the New World Order

Right. I was just sticking with the "browsing HN" scenario.
Are you IBM's official HN account? Just curious.
Right, but it's important to emphasize what stiff was talking about, that the structure of the narrative needs to be oriented towards the human instead of the machine, because so many people don't bother to do this and decide that literate programming just means having LaTeX or docbook comments in your code. That total inversion (the code is in the documentation, not the documentation is in the code) is important. (That said, I admit that most modern languages are so much more flexible compared to C or Pascal with regards the ordering of code.)
> India was never communist.

I'm not too sure about that. If you look at the actions, and not just merely words, Indian Government has always leaned towards communism. Emphasized social equality for all, focused very little on reward and innovation.
And its orientation.
Maybe if more students were as self-motivated as this guy I wouldn't have those two or three students every semester who do go to class and still don't follow directions no matter how often I go over them.
In terms of cool it still has a lot of ground to cover to catch horsejs
It is me, but it was taken probably around 2005, when I was 24. Funny how much things change over the years...
wow, why the downvote? I'm very proud of the website I created. It was what got me started with programming and lit a fire under me to learn new programming languages. I don't share much on HN but a downvote to this post makes me want to refrain from ever sharing.
"Free" trade is NOT in the interest of the common man. As implemented, these policies are, unsurprisingly, in the interests of the sponsors of such. I guess they are like peace treaties, though: to which multinational corporation(s) are we surrendering today?

They might "benefit" workers in low wage countries, but that's about it.

Tell the guy who lost his $45 K/yr job for a $15 K/yr job that it's a good thing that trinkets are 25% cheaper at MalWart now, even though "volatile" items like housing, fuel and food continue to go up.

Hurray for me that I still have a 6 figure job. What about people who weren't in the top 1-2% of their class in math/science? What are they supposed to do?

Let 'em eat cake, I guess.

Not logging in via facebook shows an unthemed "Social Network Login Failure" page.

If you want to make a facebook app, why not just make a facebook app instead of a facebook app disguised as a normal page?

The basic tenet of communism: to create a money less class and communal ownership of property was never adopted.Neither in words nor actions.
All that would need to happen is for the POS vendors they already use to add support. Around here (Seattle) the bigger restaurants and bars seem dominated by http://www.dinerware.com/, but there's a lot of innovation at the low end, e.g. sandwich shops, burger joints, and food trucks. I've seen a lot of people using Square and other iOS-based POS systems, and also one place using LevelUp.

Separately there are also online ordering systems like Eat24, NetWaiter, and GrubHub, which can act as payment processors for online orders.
Very interesting! Brought me the flashback of actually having seen one of the surviving originals in an exhibition. I did not recognize the significance back then.
The time it is affected by wind might still be enough to qualify its projected landing location as 'not exact'. Maybe they have a 200 mile radius projection or something.

I could also imagine its non-spherical shape might present some challenges predicting its path as it rotates and 'flies' in slightly different directions.

Everybody short FB now! On a more serious note - I can sense a trend rising in FB bashing, someone with better access than mine should check whether the investment banks and hedge funds are shorting FB in large volumes. This is the problem with public companies - there is always the stock market in the background and you can never tell whether bad news are true or just ordered by the shorting side.
It's always easy for not-poor-people to say "just have more of a cushion."

Let's use an example. Assume $100,000 salary, pre-tax. Post-tax, let's assume your net salary is $74,000.

For being paid twice a month (15th and last day of the month), each pay check will be $3,000 (we're rounding up here). Each month you'll have $6,000 to spend.

For being paid every two weeks (every other Friday), each pay check will be $2770. Each month you'll have $5540 to spend ($460 less than the twice a month schedule). Except—two months out of the year, you'll get a third $2770 paycheck, giving you $8310 to spend in those two months.

It's just... weird. What's the difference? A car payment or a student loan payment or extra food or insurance premiums or parking or transit or anything you can spend $460/month on. Sure, to a well off person $460/month may not sound like much, but it adds up when it's taken out every month and only paid back in lump sums twice a year. (My entire point being: you can't form your monthly budget to include lump payments six months in the future.)

ok. but at least in javascript this mysterious phrase is true, right?
Who doesn't have unlimited SMS?

I mean that seriously, nobody in any of my social circles uses whatsapp. I honestly don't have a solid grasp on who exactly their core market is.
That's exactly what happens. "Oh, look, May has an extra Friday. Looks like I'm getting a treadmill this month."
Regular Gmail does not send along this header, but Google Apps accounts will send it. Even if you're logged into mail.google.com and have the full Gmail interface, if you're using a Google Apps account it will send the header.
In the list of immoral things, leaking interview questions comes much below spamming and creating fake profiles.
I couldn't agree more. My favourite questions are along the lines of

"What technology are you most experienced with? Can you explain it's architecture to me?" and

"What is the most complex customization you did to an existing library/framework? Can you explain how (and why) you did it?"

They're completely scripted questions but tell you much more about the candidate than doing an algorithm pop-quiz.
hopefully not for much longer[1]

Maybe it's time for a hybrid form of government, then. Replace the Senate with direct democracy to ratify or reject bills and such, and use the representatives in the House as specialists to write legislation.

Of course, there might be some issues with having weekly ballot referendums, but look at the mess we have now.
I'm European and have rarely had to be interviewed, but the few interviews I've been on have never asked me any programming specific questions, rather focusing on what my interests are and how I am as a person.

It sounds to me like many companies are trying to hire quiz solvers and people who can figure out how many people can fit into a car. Do the people being interviewed not have any downloadable code samples or coding projects that the company could have eyed through prior to the interview?
For an MVP this is a great start. Front-end code is clean, concise and the flow far better than the gov version. If the gov is looking for solutions to their problems these guys just showed what local talent can do vs outsourcing an important piece offshore and messing up.
This is a good point but ultimately the important thing is what surname the children get since that is what passed down.

Also this is a random ass guess and backed up by absolutely no data, but I'd bet a sizable amount of money that couples that follow the traditional system of giving everyone the man's name have significantly more children on average than couples who don't, so while your situation may be a factor it is probably currently nothing more than statistically noise.

FWIW, I think you made the right choice. Expecting women to lose the familial history via naming should seem pretty ridiculous in this day and age but it is one of those things that flies under the radar even for a lot of people who are otherwise pretty enlightened about gender issues.
This is very cuil!
I don't see why a complex language can't be good for teaching if its designed in such a way that the complexity is optional, and you can use a focussed subset for pedagogical purposes (especially when the language supports using different focussed subsets depending on the specific focus of pedagogy.)

I mean, even if you look at how language like Scheme/Racket, or Python, or pretty much any other language is used in teaching, you don't usually use the whole thing in any one teaching context.
Never thought I'd see some from Missoula on here.

I get up there once a year to visit my grandpa. It's an awesome, beautiful place. I would definitely live up there if there were more programming opportunities and more people I knew.

Best of luck to you!
That rationale is valid if it's an option, not a requirement.
Syntax is tricky and contentious, and our team members do love our Schemes. Members of the Pyret team have actually done some research on the issue of parenthetical expressions in introductory programming, and seen that parens aren't necessarily the best:

http://cs.brown.edu/~sk/Publications/Papers/Published/mfk-va...

One issue is that it's too regular: since open-paren means so many different things (start of a "defun", start of a function application, start of an argument list in a "defun", start of a syntactic form like "cond" or "if", start of a clause of "code", the list goes on), a typo can easily and drastically change the kind of error message you get.

More closely matching syntactic forms to the type of behavior the expression has will hopefully let us improve error messages and grokkability of the difference between concepts. We're collecting data about common syntax errors and actively asking what we can do better in syntax design based on what we observe about Pyret's use.
Assuming it's not rotating continuously.
No. You can pretty much go fuck yourself.

I hate interviewing as it current exists and I'm going to make sure each and every one of my friends know what I got asked so that they can better prepare themselves and have a better experience.
IMO the life sciences are full of a very special kind of stupid wherein computational science is performed by people who could barely pass Calculus I let alone Linear Algebra or Statistics. And this would be harmless except that a lot of what they publish turns out to either be training set-based prediction of the training set or horrifying misapplication of null hypothesis significance testing.

And all that would merely constitute black box ignorance except that often if you try to help them make their work more reproducible or point out that even 32-bit floating point roundoff error can be initially indistinguishable from a bug that makes the results useless, a lot of them become agitated and tune out the possibility of any of this being relevant to their work.

I left academic science for industry over a decade ago because I caught a big shot who then proceeded to threaten me instead of fix what I found.
I like the mining design of Peer Coin much better. I worry that bitcoin mining will become too centralized/unprofitable due to declining block rewards. I'd feel more comfortable using a coin with a continuous small inflation tax paid to miners (say, 1% a year), than a coin that depends on fees becoming higher/more popular in the future.

Besides, I hate fees in my coin, it hurts microtransaction applications.
But my standard of living index went to 200! I still don't see the problem! I just don't understand what you people are getting all worked up about. Look at the GDP!

WELL SAID, sir.
You know at this point, a candidate who had prepped on known questions would be a huge plus in my book.

That's what I'm thinking. Honestly... how many unqualified prospects are going to try to gain a position by memorizing FizzBuzz solutions, or whatever? Is this an actual problem in the real world? Wouldn't it be easier to just learn to code from first principles?
The Tech Company that Rips Other Tech Companies Off
Your "solution" doesn't address the problem in any way. That method of testing requires just as much preparatory work before it can be used in a live interview with any confidence. It's also no less vulnerable to the question being leaked.
A little moderate deflation is not bad. There was continuous economic growth with deflation in the USA after the American Civil War for ~2 decades.

Macroeconomists really have no idea what they are doing - except, I believe them that a sudden drastic drop in the money supply is bad
And that's really the last word on the subject. It's done growing and unless they do some major branching out it's probably as profitable as it will ever be. Which is going to unfortunately traumatize a whole bunch of stockholders and sink a lot of other innocent tech stocks but when we look back it's probably going to seem pretty obvious that Facebook wasn't ever going to be the next Google or even the next LinkedIn. It's audience is too fickle.
I don't look like a "poor bloke who has trouble talking to people" because I learned pickup and learned how to talk to people. I was very fortunate to be in the right place at the right time and be taken under the wings of the best PUAs. As a result I went from being a VERY shy socially awkward guy to being generally comfortable around people. Pickup changed my life for the better-- one of the best things that happened to me.
Worrying about your parents being on the same social network as yourself ceases to be an issue when you become an adult yourself, and you no longer have to hide the fact that you were out partying when you were supposed to be studying at a friend's house. And as the GP notes, Facebook solves the problem that teens haven't yet had to confront - how do you catch up with your friends when you don't seem them several times a week?

In fact, the thing that has made Facebook such a phenomenon is not that teens found it cool, but rather that the much larger older population found it useful. I would be willing to bet that teens don't even make up 10% of Facebook at this point in time. When adults stop posting and stop receiving notifications on Facebook, then Facebook has something to worry about. Until then, my money would be on teens gravitating back to Facebook as they get older, and being cool becomes less important than knowing that all of your friends are contactable on Facebook.
Ask HN: How do you keep project knowledge public?
One common aspect to many successful teams I see is that they use some sort of knowledge sharing and open discussion platform instead of a forum.

What forum/wiki/project tracking software do you use to share professional knowledge?
Pretty much the whole of modern economics is built around justifying the existing cultural regime
Silk road did what, 10 million btc over two years?
You should make it obvious that FB login is not the only option.

Also, a way to add more circles to the "skills" section
I read this article with interest and I have to say that this is a slap in the face of everyone who honestly pays for the software. It's like inviting a burglar back to your house the next day for dinner. Opportunity makes thieves, period. If someone is so broke that he can't afford to pay, and this someone is an honest person, he would probably ask you for a special discount, explaining his tight financial situation.

Poverty is no excuse to steal (at least not in my book). Not so long ago I lost everything I worked for in the past 30+ years, including my home. Do you think I steal my way through live now? No I don't, because I was raised that honesty is the most important thing in live-and that's what I taught my kids and that's what I tell my grandkids.
What message do you try to convey when you treat thieves the same way than honest customers? I sure wouldn't take my money to a business like this(if I had the money). I believe it invites people to keep stealing from you, because you're asking for it. Dude get real, that's the wrong way to promote yourself by letting everyone know what a good heart you have.
Yeah, I know times are hard, but does that give you a free ticket to steal? Absolutely not. And then you have the nerve to compare yourself to the cop in Florida...who indeed did a good thing. This was about food not a frigging piece of software.
Perfect intro to core.async in a web app - just enough of an example (jsonp within a click handler would require a nested callback).

It would be nice to update the tutorial with a final instruction on compiling with advanced mode so people can see that the end result is a reasonable sized js file.
If you would like an operating system that doesn't arbitrarily and irrevocably yank support for applications, I suggest Debian or another GNU/Linux OS.
DigitalOcean pledges $1500 to RVM 2.0 Fundraiser
Quite honestly, and I have been on both sides here, my sympathy goes rather to the job seeker who is trying to find a better job in one of very few industries where you have to solve puzzles to get a job!

Not to mention tech. giants that ask inhuman questions just because everyone wishes to work for them.

Sorry, until things are different, I'll leak every interview question I get my hands on. Tech. companies will always be able to figure out ways to examine candidates.
Austin, TX. No income tax, cheap housing even near the UT campus, and 6th Street/Lake Travis to keep you occupied.
Actually, there's a (devil's advocate) argument for teaching assembly first. After all, TAOCP is all assembly for good reason. Many programmers who never learn any assembly language lack a kind of procedural literacy, as well as a mechanical sympathy, which are a big part of the craft of programming.

But, as you state, there are a lot of higher-level programming concepts you can't effectively learn in assembler (one imagines a bizarrely circuitous route around learning to build compilers in assembly (via Forth perhaps) in order to teach lexical scoping or similar).

Great dialectic and questions – that’s why I love HN.

I'm Alex, cofounder and product at Kano.

On monkey – thanks for kind words all. Her name's Lily, used to work in VC.

We’re working hard to make Raspberry Pi accessible to everyone. Challenge was first set by my 7-year-old cousin, to "make it as simple as Lego." The Pi is a brilliant piece of tech and the most promising "vector" yet to infect a new generation with open source.

That’s why we’ve designed and built our own custom hardware and made sure that everything – from the touchpad keyboard to the DIY speaker – works perfectly, and sparks curiosity.

We’re also rolling out our own Debian distro, Kano OS, with new UI, utilities, and software projects – all of which we’ll be open sourcing and pushing up-stream where possible. Some cool integrations too (Minecraft, Pong, Codecademy).

We’ll try to trickle these out here amid the Kickstarter (Nov 19) for raves/heckles.

Cheers,
Alex
