Silly example, who decides what is 'an extremely large number of records'? Whoever has a view about this should monitor and police the limit. If you are saying that you can't protect against every eventuality so you may as well guard against none, then that is asinine.

Applications should enforce correct application behaviour regardless of user behaviour. Databases should maintain database integrity regardless of application bahaviour.

If this requires duplicated effort then so be it.
Ask HN: What cryptocurrency besides Bitcoin do you think is promising?
It seems that lately Litecoin is has been gaining some traction, but also there is a huge number of coins available for mining listed on http://p2pool.org/. Is there room for more than one cryptocurrency, and if so, which ones are likely to follow Bitcoin to wide adoption?
I'm not a Python geek, but I found the C implementation for unicode strings in CPython really interesting code reading:

http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/tip/Objects/unicodeobject....

CPython supports several internal representations from one to four bytes per character to optimize for space and performance. There's also a nifty sort of Bloom filter for quick discrimination of strings that might contain characters of interest.
Meh, the stores aren't the problem, they're fine as far as I can tell. The problem is that you can't build a hip, happening, retail establishment without hip, happening products.

I think the author's criticisms are off base. It doesn't really matter if the store is hosted below the High Line or in a slick loft in Chelsea, or in Bryant Park as it is currently, because the Cool Factor would be borrowed. People are extremely good at spotting inauthenticity, trying to borrow that Cool Factor is just going to look lame and desperate (see: Microsoft store in Times Square).

Most Apple Stores are in extremely normal, even boring, places. Their attractiveness to shoppers isn't borrowed from their location, it's inherent in the products stocked within.

In other words, before you can have that slick, zen-like, all-glass Apple Store, you first need to invent the iPod. The headline-grabbing, head-turning products need to come first, before you build a store to house it in. As much as I like the Nexus products, they're not it.

I just switched to Fedora 19 on the desktop and it's far better. It's lightning fast and everything just works out of the box; wifi, hibernate, SMB/CIFS networking, RDP. Miracle. Was zero config for me and it's polished.

It's got to the point, that I'll probably switch all my stuff to CentOS 7 when it comes out (this will be based on RHEL7 which is based on Fedora 19).

I just need stuff that works these days.
My guess(es):

1) They rely on the AppStore to do their marketing for them because you could get away with that in the early days (or if you make the front-page consistently). With 1million apps, that's not going to work. Turns out, you have to do the traditional thing and go and pound the pavement, and market your games yourself.

2) The price-points are crap. Selling software for $1 is crap-business, and not every game is compatible with the freemium or subscription model. You really need the price-point in the $20-40 range to be sustainable. You sell 1million games, and you get $700k?! Moving that many units is a massive success and yet all it does it maybe cover your development costs and rent.

3) There's a lot of shovel-ware out there, and it's just too hard to punch through all that noise.

Actually, you can't really trust that behavior if you ever install new software, or even change the way you use the computer by say starting to use some other program that starts with a "t" very often. The Dash optimizes for programs that you run frequently and some other program might win out if you run it more often than "terminal". The Dash is based on giving feedback to the user; that's why it needs to be fast.

Nginx. It is able to load balance HTTP/HTTPS servers in a reverse-proxy mode and lets you use the common strategies for choosing the upstream server. See for example https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-u....

I suppose one could point out that terrorism is also statistically insignificant, but fear of it very much is significant.

So, I can well imagine that the fear of being in side a burning new fangled electric car, which has the batteries making up the entire area of the floor and are the scary chemical burny things, probably makes people think twice. Especially when for what ever reason they is a safer alternative.

Now, given that marketing is usually about manipulating emotional response in a positive way for a product, we can see that emotional response is a real and serious issue. Simply quoting statistics simply fails because statistics have little to do with emotional response. There for it is missing the point hugely to bang on about such events being statically insignificant. Such events are negative PR and marketing and have a huge negative emotional response.

Or, to ram the point home in a hard, emotional way... Imagine trying to tell a parent whose child burned to death in a burning Tesla that its all very sad, but comfort yourselves in the sure knowledge that their child's cindered corpse is statistically insignificant. I'll park out side for you, and keep the engine running, and hope the Mum is a poor shot.....
I'm going to say that the comment's tone was justified. The article makes strong allegations that aren't backed up by the facts. The onus is on the author to provide evidence and to understand the topic at a sufficient level to make their allegations meaningful.

If someone writes an article claiming someone is a murderer and they use DNA evidence to back their story, except they have no idea how DNA evidence even works or what DNA even is and, more so, the evidence does not actually back up their claims, well, that person is deserving of ridicule. It's not those who do the ridiculing who have breached the wall of propriety, it is the author who has done so.

The same is the case here. If you want people to treat your mistakes kindly, if you want to be treated with propriety and respect, then you need to be fucking circumspect about the allegations you lay down and you need to have an understanding of the lines of evidence you purport to bring to bear.

This is a great writeup for would be contributors.

I recently ran a questionnaire for potential and new open source contributors, pretty unanimously the responses were split between

People who havent contributed: had maybe tried, were nervous about getting started, lacked good guidance from the project and in general

People who had: Found life a lot easier once they got over the initial hump, were extremely grateful of the help they got, were hugely positive about the impact OS had on them

Did a small writeup about it @ http://arandomurl.com/2013/10/24/problems-getting-started-in...

I was originally planning to do a project to help first time contributors (goodfirstpatch.com), however realistically I dont have any time right now. I found openhatch.org to be a good place for people to get introduced, there was definitely improvements it can make but it was a real help for an open source workshop I ran.

Phil Taylor claims fifth Grand Slam
I often see people treating Minecraft as an unrepeatable exception to all rules, and maybe to some extent it is. But it also proves a number of points:

Graphics don't matter as long as you have a coherent style. Pre-written "story" is not critical to games, and enabling player creativity is something that will be eagerly received. One person really can make a great game all by themselves in a reasonable amount of time.

Amusingly, the only lesson learned by most developers is that people really want block-based worlds. Nah. If you look at Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress as just the beginning of what enabling player creativity in a simulated world can look like, that way lies the future.

The indie road to success is the path not taken by AAA games. There's so much potential for what games can be that hasn't been explored by mainstream publishers, and Minecraft is a superb example of that.

In my opinion, Apple receives way too much credit for their retail experience.

Going to the Apple Store is almost always an unpleasant experience. First, the small number of locations means that getting to an Apple Store can be onerous. Moreover, the majority of stores are massively overcrowded. On weekends, I literally can't get into my local Apple Store because of overcrowding. There are simply too many people to physically navigate the store. Imagine riding a crowded public bus. That is the level of crowding.

Moreover, the setup of the Apple Store encourages people to linger and leisurely use the devices. In practice, this means that people (particularly little kids) will spend upwards of thirty minutes playing some asinine game on the display devices. There are no limits enforced, and the chronic overcrowding means that even getting to look at a device is difficult.

If you happen to go during a weekday when there isn't overcrowding, you get overwhelmed by Apple staff. Effectively every time I enter an Apple Store I get accosted by no less than three employees, not to mention the "concierge" that guards the entryway to the store. When shopping, I don't want to be berated by staff. It's very reminiscent of the episode of The Office where Dwight gets fired and takes up a position at Staples. When a woman comes into his department to shop, Dwight stands five feet away from her and just glares at her the entire time.

Deciding whether or not to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on a device is already mentally taxing; having Apple staff constantly interject does not make the experience any easier. I don't think I've ever heard anyone I know speak positively of an experience at the Apple Store, particularly because they feel absolutely overwhelmed by the way the staff treat them.

I'm not sure if these problems are pervasive or specific only to my local store, but in my experience, the notion that the service at the Apple Store is "magical" is downright laughable.
Do you have the tool selected in the toolbar above? If so, please file a ticket on GH about this. Most of the Bokeh devs are on OSX so it would surprise me if it does not work on OSX, but if there is a bug we want to fix it!
Magic? I work in downtown Chicago very near the Apple store on Michigan ave. I step in, its a mob scene of people dicking around with the apple equipment, highly priced accessories, and this "70's basement" stained wood look everywhere. Its kinda boring. Its like buying a Model T. Here's this mass produced item, they all look kinda the same, and you buy the exact same thing your friends have and off you go.

Err, its nice I guess, in a "we're kinda different" way, but no where am I thinking its magical or a positive shopping experience. Staff there tend to be borderline short with me, obviously because they're busy with other customers. Staff at the genius bar look depressed and over-worked. One genius borderline yelled at me when I told him I'll need my ac cable back from my imac after service. He snottily said "well I can't prove you didn't bring one" and practically threw one at me.

Retail has moved to this aesthetic, which is also interesting in a way, but at the end of the day I'm exchanging money for product. Who has mastered the art of making the prettiest store and who is merely just "good" at it really doesn't make much difference to me, and I imagine, to many others. Value for my money and decent return policies are all I really care about.

Anyway, its all incredibly inferior to ordering online. That's the dirty little secret that scares the retail industry.
Well, I guess if you consider his other interests, like the GNU Userland (which is most of what users recognise as linux), the GPL licsense (and generally 'Free Software'), and his part in the opening up of the software/hardware market...

I think this was a joke from Stallman. Your comment reads like we can conclude from EMACS going off track that he sucks as a leader. You and I might (quick strongly in my case) dislike Free Software, but I think we can recognise that Stallman gets things done.

If you want to point at a place where Stallman didn't succeed, I'd probably look more at Herd. At least people use Emacs.
I'm thinking about tags (an often requested feature). The tags availability could allow a folders/notebooks-like UI (not unlike the Gmail tags show as folders in IMAP clients).
Carlsen is the best/only hope for chess to clean up its act (reinventing FIDE and the Candidates process), and market itself to the broader Western public, much as poker has been marketed. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Two things here:

1) The cost of work-arounds is incredibly cheaper than surveying the distro space to find one that works for you.

2) It is likely the case that the benefits of using Ubuntu outweigh the cost of the work-arounds (at least this is true for me and probably many others).
If chess can make it to the front page with a vague title, why not darts?
Not marketing advice per se, but I highly recommend subscribing to Hack Design [1] and giving more thought to not just the visual design and presentation of your apps, but also the audience. My personal opinion is that non-game indie devs need a niche, what's yours? If you're selling to school kids, then find a good hook. For example, public middle schools in California require Spanish fluency. Sell to the parents of those kids perhaps? Or if you're going after the international tourist, try to combine the language skills with travel info some how: "We'll teach you Spanish before you're plane lands!"

Also, I'm sure I'm not the first one to say it but you've gotta move to iOS7. Do the easy thing and try using all native color scheme. As a design exercise [2] it will help you focus on content.

Good luck!

>Ownership of things and land is a perfectly legitimate thing.

It might be legitimate (or not), but that's another issue -- it still is "legal fiction", that is, there is no "natural law" that justifies people owning a piece of land or anything else for that matter.

It's just something we, as society accept as valid (and not even all societies: there are tribal societies where land belongs to all, for example, or societies where land belongs to the crown).

In the same sense, ownership of concepts is something that a society can accept as valid (or not). In any case, our society seems to accept the notion just fine, seeing that copying some kind of concepts without permission can land you a hefty fine.

Hi, author here. I love reading academic papers and I love Math.

By the way, there is a very interesting tournament going on currently -- TCEC, unofficial computer chess championship [1]. The main intrigue of the tournament is the fight between Stockfish and Komodo. Houdini, dominating engine in the last few years, already lost any chances to go into the superfinal -- two very strong challengers, Komodo and Stockfish, in the last few months were able to eat huge advantage of Houdini. The author of Komodo, Don Dailey, is terminally ill, according to his wife he has just a few days to live, so it's possible that he will not know if his engine will win or not. It's really heartbreaking, he was very active in the chat of TCEC just a few days ago, commenting games, discussing computer chess and so on. Stockfish is an open-source engine that uses distributed testing framework, so anybody can participate in its development donating CPU time [2]. Both engines are very strong and have relatively equal strength.

It seems like the media is trying to turn this into a bigger problem by quoting the 9100 foot minimum runway length for maximum takeoff weight and a 6100 foot runway.

We can't tell if this is a real problem or not because we don't know if it has any cargo on board. The plane only needs to fly a few miles to the Air Force base, so draining the fuel tanks may be all that is required to lower the minimum takeoff distance to below the runway length at this airport.

Or, less cynically, because no one uses 'gals'. There is no female analog to 'guys'. Males under age 18 -> boys. Males 18-35 -> guys. Males over 35 -> men.

For female, it's less clear. Calling a 20-something a 'girl' might be viewed offensively as diminutive. Calling college students 'women' can also seem awkward casual contexts (it's perfectly fine in most).
The thing is, name calling the author provides no useful information (being nice and being mean can be equally useless if you discount interpersonal dynamics). It's just injecting noise into the post. And it's how the post opens so it does set the tone for the rest of the post, and people will be less inclined to read beyond it because the only signal provided in the first sentence suggests that the rest of the content is likely to be an emotionally inspired rant.

I agree with what other have already said.
The main challenge is the noise in the store… way too many crappy apps that still take up space.

However, you need to define "win".
Just like in any other business if you want to make millions you need to put in big cash (just look at real estate).
If you win by having a revenue that allows you a comfortable life, it's still doable.

I've been an independent developer for 4+ years and have been living on it since. I make mostly passive revenue with my apps and play tennis 2-3 times a week during the day. I certainly will not complain.
