I live in the city and don't own a car, and no I won't be anybodies sugar daddy. I can buy a drink or two, as anyone would, sure.

I don't know why women feel entitled to my money. I was on one date, and when the waiter brought our two separate bills, she looks at me like I'm retarded for not paying for her meal, an $80 steak dinner. She then proceeded to lecture me on the "rules of dating" and the role of Men in society. I threw $100 down and left mid conversation. If you're looking for some chump to be your chauffeur in exchange for your pussy, look elsewhere.

Dating sites give women the illusion that they are superior and guys should be fighting for them. One girl literally said to me "If you're not paying for me and picking me up/dropping me off, I have a ton of other options that will". Wow, so you're in it for the free ride instead of meeting another person with shared interests, thanks for letting me know!

Guess I should probably apply to YC, get some funding, and start funding dates!
No. This is now wrong. Microsoft is reformed.
Yes but to make sweeping complaints about the French as an American is absurd. (And note that I myself pointed out that France has a serious problem with institutionalized corruption, not that the US has anything to crow about.)
The fact that the Senate rules are adopted for each new session, at the opening of the session, by a simple majority vote stops that from being meaningful as a tactic (nothing stops them from doing it, but it doesn't do any good.)
Dear Mr. Stallman,

I don't think that's how open source works, but hey, can't hurt to ask.
Mostly because I'm a VIM + command line type of guy :)

I'm aware there are a slew of plugins/built-ins with IDE's that I didn't cover. As I mentioned in a comment on the post, I think a disclaimer that stated my preference would have helped.
And the same kinds of people thrive in different types of environments at different times. It's almos like we need both.

The Senate was never meant to be a democratically elected body. Until the enactment of the 17th Amendment in 1913 Senators where picked by the States.

The prefetch may take the same amount of time, but the number of objects that it pulls into cache depends on their size and allocation pattern. If they are large or were allocated over time (= from different memory blocks) fewer will be pulled in. It seems to me that this would make prefetch less effective. That is, if the thing you are trying to prefetch was pulled in because it was close enough to the last one, prefetch is a no-op.

I didn't say it was un-democratic. I was trying to point out that democracy can be a bad thing when the majority decides to vote themselves power to the detriment of the minority.
This was pretty similar to (at least the buildings I worked in 2012-2013) Facebook Menlo Park: open space, but many of small side offices for coding/ad-hoc meetings/views.

Personally, however, I'd prefer the reverse: offices as the default (two people per office okay, as long as there's space) with open space (with portable white boards, bean bag chairs, desks) in the middle for ad-hoc design/discussions.

Cubicles do seem the worst of both world, however: an ad-hoc meeting is no longer so ad-hoc (as it requires hunting for an available conference room), but the noise/interruption issues are no better than open areas.
I wish I could upvote this more than once. It's too common for developers to assume they're more valuable rather than benefiting from a currently tighter job market.
i'll try to find out. top my head i know the azure node sdk is all node (obviously...), all the cross-plat commands/utils are node, skype, yammer, bing (?), ... all use node to various extents.

I actually somewhat sympathize with your view. But I think you overstate the problem: if someone discovers something with Mathematica, they can then formalize it with an open proof assistant like Coq before they publish, and modern journals in fact encourage this sort of thing.

Really, it's not a zero-sum-game between open-source and commercial tools.
Reminds me a bit of this guy's dominance:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigel_Richards_(Scrabble)

Winning 4 national championships in a row is one of the most amazingly dominant feats in anything, especially given a game that has a significant luck factor.

A top tournament player in a Scrabble Facebook group just said this about him:

"I'm pretty sure what he's doing is not capable by most human brains tbh, he plays better than any computer with seemingly a very small amount of tilt. You will never be as good as him, no matter how hard you try. Makes the game pointless (said this a million times b4). As a sidenote, his existence in scrabble is terrible for the game"
Imagine if prices for tablets also change to reflect the ups-and-downs of memory and flash storage prices.

iPad today $499, might be $512 or $482 next week. Depends on the market prices on those components.

For sure companies like Apple locked in the prices for the components.

That is the biggest load of bullshit I've heard all day.
This looks awesome. Markdown is just about simple enough to bridge the divide between people like me, who left to their own devices, would probably use LaTeX for most things, and others who mostly skew toward word. This kind of editor definitely reduces friction for people in the latter group.

One thing I'd love to see (and maybe it already does this) is support for Pandoc's Markdown extensions. Org-tbl is nice, as are the supports for bibtex refs. There's a handful of other niceties that pandoc has added.
> 3. Not all platforms have hdmi. What about display-port compatibility (adaptor?)

I don't think there is any physical component for the computer, so the lack of HDMI ports on laptops is not a limiting factor. Almost every TV has HDMI inputs today. An HDMI -> DisplayPort dongle should work if you wanted to turn your monitor into a head for this, but you might lose the audio channel.

I might be misunderstanding the product, but to me it seems like Chromecast [1] without any DRM bullshit.

I wish Twitter supported this. It would be nice to have a mega-stream from NYT that dumped out tons of updates, but I could subscribe to threads of those updates. For instance I'd like to get "broadcasts" for their ongoing coverage of the current Senate filibuster news as well as non-breaking news, like their movie reviews, etc.

Essentially I'd like publishers to be able to categorize their tweets and make those categories available for subscription without having to create and follow discrete twitter accounts.
Just to be clear, Subsonic has some basic support for video transcoding and streaming as well.

Why did you switch from Subsonic to Plex? I don't know how long, I've been using Sunsonic - maybe 4 or 5 years - and don't really have any reason to switch...just curious what made you swtich.

As a comparison, the Beaglebone Black (http://beagleboard.org/products/beaglebone%20black) uses a TI chip, which is at least fully and properly documented. It is also better than the BCM chip at pretty much everything except high-resolution video decoding.

The Raspberry Pi is a cool machine, but the "open source" hype about it is rather exaggerated.
Sounds like study rooms in college libraries. I like it. It solves the space problem and provides more flexibility than the office solution. Sometimes you do want to be around the rest of the team, and sometimes you're working closely with one co-worker and you need some one on one work time with them.
Like maxk42 said, most of these are device specific. I will address some of these more specifically, though.

slow scrolling response

While Android as a whole may not be as smooth as iOS is (due to the Dalvik VM if I'm not mistaken), this is pretty much a non-issue on most newer phones from what I've seen. Also, the addition of the Android Runtime, I've noticed zero lag on my Nexus 5.

Too many crap apps in store

This is an issue on both platforms. Most of the most popular apps on the App Store are on the Play Store as well.

Cheap hardware designs

Not really an Android issue. Blame this on the OEMs. Though, there are some very well built, comfortable phones. HTC One, Moto X, both Nexus 4 and Nexus 5. This is more of a personal preference. I could say the same about iPhones as I personally don't like the design of the phone.

Music players that lack complex playlist algorithms

Perhaps not as complex as iTunes, Google Play Music is quite a service. Check it out if you haven't.

Lacking mac integration

Any specific examples here? I have used a Mac for the past year and have had no issues with integration.

Limited upgradability

Not sure what you mean if not OS upgradability (see below).

Dumb OS features

Again device specific. Also, something you might see as dumb may not be to someone else. Personally, I think the fingerprint scanner is dumb. Thought it was when Motorola did it years ago, think it still is today.

OS updates delayed

Again, device specific. Nexus phones do not have this problem. Moto X is another phone that is getting quick updates.

Short battery life

No response here. This is my biggest gripe with Android.
Can you do this for Rails too?
Yes, that's the problem with similar open-ended tasks - the assessment is very subjective.

And I have a feeling that I'm gambling - in terms of allocating time vs what I'll get. That's why paid projects make more sense - with defined goals.

In the OP's case - tic tac toe game is completed? playable? that's it - he gets paid, no matter if they don't hire him for some other reasons.
This is great - in theory. Let me bring up something which the article brings up right away but none of the comments seem to discuss.

Look at it from the startup's side of things: The ideal office that we'd all love to work in - that perfect 4-6 person bullpen with private offices surrounding (x number of 4-6 person teams), is _expensive_. Very few companies can afford a build-out like this until much much later in company-life.

If we're talking about an Apple or Google, fine - let's have the debate. But for a vast majority of early-stage startups, this simply isn't a viable discussion to have. Office space is very limited in many parts of the big tech hubs, and often it's a matter of just getting an affordable space in the first place, much less being able to build out the perfect working environment. And the fact of the matter is, most spaces are open and filled with $200 IKEA tables because that's all the company can afford.

So I'm not sure what the answer is. On the one hand, you can say "well, budget more for office space", but we all know it's not that easy. It's not a small expense -- big buildouts for private offices costs tens of thousands of dollars (or more), precious capital for a small business.
The most frustrating thing (experienced in both Javascript and Python) is the "oh uncaught exception? let me just quit everything" model. Most of the time, if I were just given an interactive prompt right then, I could spend 1 minute looking at local variables, maybe get a special stack trace variable to look at that, then be over with it.

Instead I have to stick in some print statements and start everything over again.

Ask HN: More useful to read about tech or practice programming?
Specifically for a college student still starting out. Is it helpful to be really up-to-date on the tech industry, and frequent tech news sites? Or is it most important to keep learning programming languages and frameworks and practicing that?

nobody should be an asshole agreed

but sometimes the net cost to the senior/mentor person is actually negative, if the other party, the newb is sufficiently junior or incompetent. there are plenty of cases where somebody delivers one "fix" or "improvement" which then itself introduces other problems. save 2 hours, cause other people an additional >2 hours of work afterward, sometimes multiple of that. (time to add a bug? a few seconds. time to discover/home-in/fix/test that bug later? hours/days/weeks.) that's... not good. and experienced folks try to minimize it. the nice thing about the Internet is how we can all talk and learn and collaborate together more easily now than ever before. the bad thing about the Internet is folks who are still but wee infants, skill-wise, who, say 20 years ago would have had a long gestational period working in private and relative isolation, on their boxes before they emerged into the larger ecosystem (at a job or university, etc.) are instead often almost immediately jumping into forums, channels and repos and trying to "contribute" while they're still in that gestational stage. It's like there's now an army of cute fuzzy wittle lion cubbies who now try to tag along with the adult lions when the latter slink off to hunt for prey -- it impairs both parties and does not actually "help" either.

I've had the same experience. Debugging Foundation's responsive grid turned out to be a nightmare. Just migrated the project to the latest Bootstrap and it's much more intuitive to work with. Also, Foundation has more styling of form elements which gets really annoying really fast.
Had never heard of StatHat before but the simplicity of the system is appealing. The pricing is a bit steep for the hobby projects I have however..

Are there any opensource alternatives to StatHat? (I'm aware of Graphite and such but I found it overly complex for my needs).
"They really didn't want to do it, but they really had no other choice."[1]

Yes, he had a choice. Leave it the same as the other party did in 2005 and stop trying to be a modern day Senate version of Thomas Brackett Reed. The amount of debates that Reid has closed down has been amazing.

The other party will get into power at some point and then Reid will regret this foolishness and so will we.

Wow, I did not know about that undo feature. That would be a great addition to Android.

One way they could do this pretty easily in my opinion (if they wouldn't do the shake feature) is to have it included in the contextual action bar when you highlight text.

How does this compare to Bootstrap 3?
I use Bootstrap, but it looks to me like Foundation5 is a better framework and is making faster progress. Especially I like Foundations use of SASS.

Problem is - some widgets I depend on - like date-pickers and X-Editable - only support Bootstrap.

I can't do the math on how $200 for a theme could appeal to anyone who has the ability to do it, unless they make one theme and push up 20 slightly different CSS versions of it. $200 is approaching maybe 90 minutes of contract work, and 4 hours of day-job work.
This page lost me when it claimed that most coral exists in the deep sea kilometers below the surface. Anyone who scuba dives recognizes that coral prefers warm water and filtered sunlight and is rarely found more than 30 meters below the surface.[1]

There are a lot of reasons to oppose deep sea bottom trawling, but this infographic based on naive and erroneous assumptions may do more harm than good.

Ask HN: How to divide shares in a startup company that was born in a hackathon?
Hey HN,

I was participating in a hackathon last weekend (Startup Weekend @ Sherbrooke) and we won second place.

We are invited to pitch to FounderFuel, which is kind of like YC (A startup accelerator/incubator in Montreal, Canada).

There are two problems:

1) We're a team of 8 people, and some of them won't be really useful until the product is launched.

2) Some of them would like to work part-time on the project until they finish uni or decide it's a good enough move to quit their job.

That leaves 3-4 of us, mostly developers, working full-time on it if we get into FounderFuel.

We don't want to lose the talented team we have, even though some of the team members will be doing part-time work or will come into play once we launch.

How should we handle the shares within the team and the money coming from FounderFuel?
I was thinking we could give a smaller part of the company to those working part-time, paying them for their work with the money we're getting to get started and giving shares on a promise-to-work basis to those who will come into play once we launch.

What do you think?

That's going way off topic, but I couldn't resist. I can't find such nation in the globe.

And the continent is called "America". There is even one country that formed by the union of several smaller ones that calls itself "United States of America" because it's located at this continent called "America".
I don't understand the point of your hypothetical. A murder that physically took place in the USA is clearly "committed in the USA".

Basically, CU has an agenda.

Worst case, CU had an agenda in this specific case. CU does not have a history of bias on anything even approaching a regular basis. Given the disproportionate amount of money available to CU versus what most big manufacturing corporations have available for litigation if CU did have an agenda of untruthfulness, it would have been sued into oblivion long ago.

>the assignment isn't syntactially correct Python.

It is.
Some IDEs have support for doing that without the hack. Xcode for instance, when you set a breakpoint you can edit it to not break, and execute custom actions (logging stuff, executing debugger commands, executing a shell script, executing actionscript, playing a sound).

A condition, if set, will then apply to whether the action should or should not be applied.

The great part is they can all be combined, so you can setup a breakpoint which will pre-log the info you know you'll need then drop you in the visual debugger with all base information waiting for you.

No, that's not correct, at least in my experience. "Request desktop site" usually means "reload the same page, but send a User Agent string so the server thinks I'm calling from a full desktop browser". This works for websites where the server does some UA string sniffing and sends different html+assets for different types of devices.

The same works in reverse. In Chrome Dev Tools I can set the UA to iPhone/iPad/Android (http://imgur.com/mJY6lP6) and I should expect to see a mobile version of the site. Of course, with Responsive this does not work since responsive looks at screen size, not UA string.

For example, try changing your UA string in Chrome to iOS 6 and visit http://www.bbc.co.uk/
