And yet they were at one time the low-volume underdog. People scoffed at them when they first started making iPods and again later with iPhones (even though there were fewer doubters by the time the iPhone came to be, there were still some). They clawed their way up to where they are now over the last 15 years, pretty much "back from the dead". During much of that time, their products were higher priced than their competitors due to the same supply & volume constraints you are describing, only against them instead of in their favor. Now it seems the shoe is finally on the other foot.

If they can make it, so can any other company.
No. Every US based cruise I've ever been on or heard about has free meals. Its common to hear people talk about gaining 10 lbs on a cruise because they ate so much.
Thailand. Cheap, good food, fast internet. Easy to get around without fluency in Thai. Enough expats to speak English with when you want to, but not so many that you are easily isolated from Thai society. Chiang Mai has good weather most of the year and is less congested than Bangkok.

Is there a maintained web page or cheat sheet somewhere that lists the functions and macros unique to ClojureScript?

The API Overview[1] page for Clojure itself is great, and many of those facilities are 1-to-1 in cljs. For individual libs, like core.async, it's easy enough to go look in the cljs namespaces (i.e. the source code) to see what's available.

But it seems there are at least several important facilities unique to ClojureScript and it would be great if they were spelled out somewhere readily accessible and linked to from the main README[2]. Digging through the source is a bit more challenging given that there's more to wade through than for individual libs.

PUA strikes me as a "sales and marketing" technique to advertise yourself as an interesting casual sex partner. There are some asshats who manipulate, but then there are also high-pressure salespeople who manipulate; that doesn't make all sales and marketing unethical.

Want to elaborate on this?

For me that book shone a really bright light on a community, and its two types of citizens - the "wantrepreneurs" who would try to trick their way to success, and the really serious guys who changed their whole lives to succeed.

I saw obvious parallels between them and the startup community. And, yes, I suppose, serial killers and any other community who wants to succeed.

Curious as to what you found was negative and why.
For example: I'm aware of 'js*', but where is it defined? Where is it documented? Does it have any "gotchas" that are explained somewhere?
Manila.
1. Great weather (except for this most recent typhoon, we were all safe in the city)
2. Fast internet
3. Lots to do both in terms of day and short cheap trips to both domestic destinations and nearby Asian countries
3. Inexpensive cost of living- food, housing rentals and transportation. Only thing expensive is buying clothes (import tax) so just don't shop here.
4. Friendly people and easy immigration process- long stay visa
5. Almost everyone speaks English. Can easily learn Tagalog (esp. if you speak Spanish)
Have to say that you're not reacting particularly well to being "negged".

Nice visualization idea but the color is burning my eyes... and to be honest the best cheatsheet is a table format. Easier to search and navigate.
It would be interesting to look at companies with stack ranking and see if any objective performance measure is a significantly better predictor of a layoff than: 1) A random number generator; 2) the personality of your boss.
This is an interesting theory. I'm not sure I understand it fully. But since the company pared back its offer (and likely will sell again via 2nd offering) it certainly is good to leave the impression that some 'value' will be left on the table for public shareholders. Whether or not its all a mind and pr game, versus something more actually tangible, is perhaps beside the point. And I suppose that is what the title is meant to convey. Here is one critical bit of context:

But no Twitter insiders sold stock as part of the offering, so their shares, valued at as little as $17 just a week ago, are now worth more than $40 a share. With the shares still at least 60 percent above the initial offering price, Twitter’s insiders must feel rather pleased with how the offering was executed.

It's interesting to note that their "progress meter" never tells you what the goal actually is - it's perfectly possible that their goal is very low, or that the entire thing is faked to generate interest/the perception of progress.

I know I will get downvotes for this...

But "here comes the shaming language" ...

Let me know when you are as equally hard on women for learning all the PUA tip-equivalents (for their gender) from age 5 onwards, through to the Vogue Teen and then the Cosmo years.

EVERY SINGLE women's magazine you see on the shelves at the supermarket, has the equivalent of "PUA tips and tricks" in every issue. Such as "how to make him ..." or "What he likes in bed" or whatever. It is so prevalent, women aren't even aware of it, like a fish doesn't notice the water.

Let a guy start learning some evo-psych, learn how to dress better, work on his conversation skills, and quit being a supplicative schlub ... and the Holy Hand Grenade of Guilt and Shaming gets tossed.

The latter, of course. My point was that if The Onion is at all like any organization, particularly in print media, then its cutting of the print editions is less a forward-thinking move than a "Shit, well, gotta do what we can to survive"...It's not that cutting to survive is bad, I'm just saying that it's a situation in which what actually survives the cutting still has a major fight to survive ahead of it, and will likely not equal what it was in better days.

"+ 41 1" more closely resembeles straight-up non-reverse Polish notation. Its cool property is that it has unambiguous grouping without parentheses.

Reverse Polish notation's even cooler property is that, in addition to the unambiguity, it can easily be evaluated from left to right with a stack: If you see a operand, push it onto the stack. If you see an operator, pop two operands off the stack, compute, and push the result onto the stack. By the end you'll have a one-element stack with your result.

Really what we're seeing here, though, is a language without infix operators: all functions are of the form "<name> <operand1> <operand2>…", but grouping still works as expected.

Yeah, as a technical guy I would tend to go with the full 3D route. It might be 10x the upfront work but having a fully automated pipeline might save you a lot of work down the line. For example just changing the color of a character could be as few as two clicks in the full 3D solution, but you might have to manually go through each sprite sheet with the other route.

And technically you could export the sprite sheet with however many frames you want (and be able to lower and increase the number easily) while still getting the exact same results as the Sprite Lamp solution. And of course artists could go in and manually make any changes they want.

It's interesting hearing the perspective of the artists. Thanks.

I wonder...

Is it impossible for there to be such a thing as pick-up artistry amongst members of the homosexual community? I bet it's just a magical thing that happens in the LGBT community, where courtship is preternaturally effortless. Perhaps, it's not even a learned behavior, to attract sexual partners?

Are heterosexual women incapable of manipulative behavior? Is there no such thing? ...but if that's true, wouldn't that damage any purported premise of equality?

If this bubble "crashes" into $1000, it's a good news to many people. This spring it went $14->$266->$100, this time it started at $140 and thus can easily go to $1000 or $2000.
OT, but I wonder if SourceForge would create an Enterprise Edition again.
yeah, no system is perfect, but the modifications I suggested I think would address these issues to large extent. For example, I suggested that employees would rank their peers on three scales (good, bad, misused) instead of with "scores". An actual score would hopefully come from aggregating the whole company and doing some analysis. Hopefully by having some smart people try to put together an algorithm that seems "fair".

Also, if I remember correctly, MS employees might have had some say in their peer's rank, but then groups scores would be merged with other groups by having managers "calibrate" with each other, which more than likely gives the manager a lot of control in the final outcome.
Is 'unbelievable' even remotely the right word?
The numbers cited in the article are convenient only if the relationship between your units can be expressed with powers of 10.

My biggest petty complaint is with the 8" x 11" (Letter) paper size and related formats like Legal and Ledger. The ratios are all over the place. The European A0/A1/A2/A3/A4/A5/A6 papers all have a ratio of 1 : 1.414 (square root of 2), so two sheets of Ax always fit exactly into one sheet of Ay where y = x - 1.
This is the primary reason I use ad blocking. Privacy is another (e.g., http://taosecurity.blogspot.com/2013/10/mozilla-lightbeam-ad...). I don't mind ads so much as I mind surveillance.
(I shall ignore the toolbar installation matter; that has been discussed at length in the linked thread and there is little value in continuing that here.)

> You should then consider a better host.

Very well then; step one: identify a better host where PortableApps.com can get over 50TB per month for free. I'm not aware of any other than SourceForge which would do such a thing and John does not have the money to spend on commercial rates for such bandwidth. (Incidentally, donations are always welcome at PortableApps.com, because the rest of the infrastructure does still cost money, and quite a considerable amount.)
I think "secure" and "cloud" are pretty misleading. In terms of security (if it's about my personal mail/calendar) my bigger concern would be that my data is lost, e.g. not backed up properly, deceptible to hardware failures. As for "cloud" - I can't see much on the page that would have remotely the same properties as a "cloud" solution. Maybe that's why they put it in quotation marks? Still, very misleading imho.
That would qualify as a "Show HN" kind of post, sure. I imagine the Kickstarter will have information to add in addition to the website we're all seeing now, too.

I'm perfectly fine with paying for things! In fact, I'm ecstatic at the opportunity to pay for valuable online services. Did you miss the bit of my post where I exhort Google to "make this a paid service up-front"? But what's not cool is offering a means of universal personal identity for free (with the concomitant lock-in this entails), and then sneaking a clause into your TOS revealing your intentions to begin charging for this service at some future date, especially when there is no indication as to what the magnitude of that charge would be! $10 per year? I'd pay that, if my profile was especially important to me. I already pay as much for my personal domain names. $100 per year? Almost certainly not, unless G+ was the world's most important social network. Or maybe it's $X*N per year, where X is the number of unique visits your page gets per year and N is an arbitrary multiplier? We have absolutely no idea! We can't even speculate. It's a black box, a landmine, and it's executed in bad faith by tucking it away where only the most technical of users will ever notice it.
