The Importance of Harmony
Windows Mobile, Palm OS, hell even later versions of Blackberry. None of these were closed in terms of app installation. Smartphones were not closed ecosystems, in fact, the point of them was to be open in this way.
Write prototypes. You can implement these very fast, and see quickly, if it works.

E.g. I'm using Octave to test various imaging algorithms before implementing them in C++. Also, it helps verifying the C++ implementation and I can visualize the results.

Ask HN: Link for internship guide
I was wondering whether the HN community can help me find a guide that was posted around 1-2 years covering the complete aspect of getting an internship in technology, it was a whole website dedicated to it. I thought I had bookmarked it but turns out I haven't. Any help in finding it would be greatly appreciated.
How do you know it was designed by someone outside? And why does it matter anyway? Do you seriosuly thing all these people protesting were paid by CIA? For 3 months? Some of them - I agree. Just like some of them were paid by Russia to make the protesters look bad. That's how politics go. In the end the biggest group is still the people that came there cause they wanted to protest. And don't you think they have valid reasons to protest?

Do you think what Yanukovych did is good or bad for Ukraine? I mean the whole set of anti-demonstration and anti-press laws. It's almost martial law. Is it OK with you? Better alternative to what exactly? Do you think he will let go of the power by himself? Or are you ok with benevolent dictator for life? It's how it always been in USSR, right? No point in leaving important matters to people.

I was 6 when Poland become independent in 1989. I don't remember much, just empty shelves gray people and standing with my mother in queues forever. But my parents and the whole family do. Nineties was hard but in the end it all worked out OK. Poland is much better place now. Do I care who started the protests - nope. Do I think there were some foreign agencies and conspiracies in this? Probably there were. Both Soviet and American. In the end regular people decided. Soviets had the whole country, the army, press, censorship, party, everything. Americans had radio free Europe and Hollywood movies to "brainwash" us. And Russians were brainwashing us every bit as hard as Americans, with schools, media, holidays, incentives to be a party memeber, everything. Still couldn't hide the fact that system was broken by design and worked worse every year.

People decided the revolution, not secret agencies.

Anybody here now of a ApacheTop-like tool for nginx?
The answer to the issue with Java security from the a web user's perspective is simple. Skip web certificates and rewrite the code with something less hazardous. A certificate doesn't solve their problem and it doesn't solve the organization's problem. It just solves the problem of a person within the organization tasked to do something about the problem but who is not looking forward to what is required.

Java on the web is technical debt whose note is coming due. Fortunately it's not onerous just a little painful, and repayment removes a possible impediment to user base growth.
The list is about influential books, not works that introduce original ideas. IMO Mien Kampf fits the requirements to be influential.
Came here to say just what you did. From 1998-200+ I installed literally hundreds of different linux OSes hoping that "this one would be the one". Sadly I spent even more countless hours finding and debugging drivers and generally failing at my attempt to find something to replace or even run alongside Windows (every geek I knew duel-booted another OS).

So yes on paper Linux had/has everything Windows does but in practice it was another story. It arguably still remains the case even today which is shocking considering how longs it's been.

Most of it is related to drivers and hardware industry support which will never happen until the other dominant players (Windows, OSX) stumble.

Yet even without definitions you are typing words and I am reading them and we're having a conversation here, so let's not go pretend-meta here.

The right level of offensive is the level that, given all viewpoints, does the most to benefit to society as a whole.

You're a rich straight white guy whose only discomfort over this comes down to not being able to say whatever you damn well want whenever you damn well please.

From this thread you can clearly see that there's a shit ton of people, many of whom have to re-evaluate their every word and action in our industry, for whom this triggers feelings of marginalization, ridicule and disrespect.

Insisting on maintaining your privilege over theirs and even going so far as to label their reactions as taught helplessness and defining that as evil ... well ... that pretty much sounds like the root of all evil to me.
With all the usual truthfulness, of course.

Who talks about wealth? Where did you get the idea that people in Ukraine expect to get wealthy by burning tires? Or do you simply need a straw man to express your wisdom?

When the peaceful protests started in November, the main motive had at least something to do with economics (association with EU). Nowadays it's totally different. By taking a number of violent actions and unconstitutional moves, the government took this up to a completely another level. It is no longer about trade laws, but about basic human rights and the total corruption of power. We know that the economical situation will suffer, but we are prepared for it.

Ukrainians got burned enough with revolution in 2004, and we had lost our fair share of illusions. So there had to be a very good reason for us to try it again. And this government managed to provoke it.
In a way I kind of agree with him.

On one way, it is clear that pure GPL software is not a way for whole industry to function. Taken to the extreme, 100% GPL software, from what would software developers live from?

Not all use cases can be applied to support, training or selling hardware.

On the other had the other open source licenses, promote the freedom of the software developer, but not the end user.

Which is usually of no importance when the end user is a plain user.

However developers are also end users from the products of others.

I grew up in culture, where we had to pay for every piece of software we used, except if we typed it ourselves from code listinings in magazines.

So in one extreme we have the everything free model, and in the other we have the old model.

Currently we seem to be more or less in the middle.

I just wonder to which direction will the balance change.
I wonder for how long the experiment was done.

I found out that under-sleeping had a very bad impact on me after several months, not in a short/mid term. And I have the feeling this placebo effect would not be the same if you've been under-sleeping for months.

Yes, most people know of them :-) I just felt like presenting them to people who might not know of them and their strengths. Why not present tools, although many know of them already? I think it is important to talk freely about any software, as there is always someone who might not know them. I appreciate this myself, and i am actually also new with *nix systems. If everyone had the same approach to information as you, i would not be a part of it.

I'm still quite convinced by the idea of software freedom, as explained in Stallman's earlier writings: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html

Having said that, I find Stallman's war rhetoric increasingly disturbing:

> The only code that helps us and not our adversaries is copylefted code. Free software released under a pushover license is available for us to use, but available to our adversaries just as well.

This is the language of war propaganda, and shouldn't have any place in rational discussions.

> If that enables GCC to "win", the victory
would be hollow, because it would not be a victory for what really matters: users' freedom.

All while endorsing the Affero GPL, a license that doesn't even allow users full control over their own servers.

Maybe if someone is that convinced of a cause, the ends seem to justify every means. I'm not sure what's going on at the FSF, but it seems that they've lost sight of some of their original principles.

That happened to me after being stopped by the police in Tokyo. They wanted to search my bag, I refused. Since I wasn't a suspect of anything and they had no warrant, they couldn't actually take my bag and search it without my consent. I asked if I was arrested, they said no, I asked if I could then leave, they said no.

Eventually they asked for "backup", even though I wasn't offering any physical resistance (I wasn't getting arrested after all), and then there were 5 officers grilling me as to why I was refusing an illegal search. I resisted for over 1 hour, then finally I relented and "consented" to the search.
Aha! That bombs thing does make sense. It wouldn't be that hard to enter the sewers outside that 'government sector', and place a bomb under a manhole cover welded shut, but I guess would-be terrorists would not want to carry a few hundred pounds or so of explosives through the sewers.

Let me respectfully disagree with what the real problem is. The real problem is not Russia. You are absolutely right that Russia wants influence in Ukraine. You are right that Yanukovych is a thief. But the real problem is people believing they need someone to reign over them. You think you can elect better politicians, who can put your interest in front of their own self-interest; who will not steal while chanting about EU integration? To me it's absurd how people in Eastern Europe look at west in admiration of their quality of life, yet fail to see how politicians in the west lie and steal and abuse their power.

Unfortunately, I can see how this Ukraine revolution can turn out. I believe the opposition will prevail and new leaders will be elected. Will they be able to remove all corrupt bureaucrats? No they won't. Those people will stay in their place, like the mafia. And they will corrupt everyone else around them. EU integration is just words to calm the public down. Real issues are never addressed by politicians.

The only true worthwhile revolution comes when people realize they don't need anyone to rule them. When the majority realizes that, no more revolutions and violence can follow.
Yes New Relic is pretty awesome. Lot of information you can monitor there, with a very easy installation. You can get a free account in there aswell, just to test it. I just made one, and i really like the simple UI: http://i.imgur.com/oGGfTrp.png

"The Earth's average surface temperature rose by 0.74+-0.18 °C over the period 1906–2005. The rate of warming over the last half of that period was almost double that for the period as a whole (0.13±0.03 °C per decade)."

Look at the graph:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f9/Enso-glob...

If you would try to understand the numbers you would also understand that in the given limits we can exactly predict, and our observations already match the predictions. It's getting warmer, with the deviations which exist every year. Just like creek water has the flow where you don't know where every drop is but you can observe the flow. It's simply the nature of that.

It is getting warmer, exactly as we predict. And humans are the cause. We proved that too.

I think mostly because the protest are very localized. Apart from that street, the city( and country ) is operating as usual. Shops and businesses are operating and civilians are going to work. The protest are mostly after work activity. That is why the largest fights take place in the evening and night.
apachetop works fine with nginx logs too.
Nobody mentioned anxiety? Everyone's heard of all kinds of stupid accidents, well, I'd never do something that dumb. Well, after being awake 24 hours either you understand it could happen, or you're not very self aware. Being told you've got plenty of sleep and should be able to do the job just fine reduces anxiety and the lack of anxiety improves performance.

I own a table saw and still have all my fingers. I know all about doing dangerous stuff while well rested, sober, calm. As an example, had a board kickback on Friday evening, I know what I'm doing and work safely so I know nothing will happen when it kicks back so I can focus 100% on other things, like keeping my fingers well away from the blade. If I was all anxious in general or about kickbacks I'd probably end up sticking a finger in the blade, or I'd work at about 1/10th speed just to make sure.
You can still get paid for building free software. For example, take a employee management program that needs to be catered to the specific needs of each company. You still get paid for those adaptations + deployment the same you'd get paid with closed source software.
"However, in the end it was the GCC developers that rejected Apple's willing GPL contribution to GCC (still in the pre-GPLv3 days when GCC was GPLv2 licensed). The upstream GCC developers didn't want LLVM because of wanting C instead of C++ code, GCC developers didn't like the modular and library design of LLVM, LLVM wasn't formally "done" at that point, and there was some "Not Invented Here" syndrome going on by the FSF developers."

Let's get terms straight. Google is providing private mass transport. It's no more public transport than a charter liquor and gambling bus to Atlantic City. If it was public transport non-Googlers would ride for similar tariffs - ok that's probably inaccurate since poor riders would have their transport subsidized rather than Google's subsidy to those more affluent.

Google's buses are solving more traffic problems in MountainView than San Francisco and relieving the congestion that most impacts commuters from San Francisco to their campus. If the service had to meet the requirements for public transportation i.e. meeting public needs, Google would shut it down.
There is one thing that I've really come to love and respect about the city of San Francisco. They fight for what they want. I've seen protests for everything ranging from wars, to working conditions, to America's Cup worker wages. Most other places would just get rolled over by whomever has the money. Underneath this issue, there are some serious socioeconomic issues at hand that need to be addressed.

One thing I've done to try and give back is during the holiday season, create some care packages and hand them out to the homeless. Put together basic stuff like dental floss, razors, deodorant, hard candy, socks, pop-corn, etc in a zip-lock bag. As I walked around the city and saw homeless people, I would give them a bag. It was about $400 bucks and about 4 hours of time between two people to make 20 bags. All you have to do is hand them out as you're doing your daily things around the city. You would be surprised at how eloquent, smart, and appreciative some of the people on the street actually are. If you live in San Francisco, you _know_ you're going to run into someone homeless on any given day.

That being said, I realize that I'm not the regular San Francisco transplant and most Engineers can't logically rationalize giving something away for free to someone who has done "nothing" for them.

>Linux was not easy to use

True, it took me 5 days to download MKLinux correctly via dial-up. But it worked, went back to OS9 but soon I had build a phalanx of PCs as servers and for friends, and while I used a Mac as my main computer (still to this day) I fell in love with Linux. That's a pretty powerful experience for a girl growing up on the edge of civilization. It's thanks to Linux that I consider myself a child akin to Stephenson's Diamond Age, but thanks to the Mac's friendly introduction to computing that I get could started.

Study: Doing Kora around mt.Kailash when moon is full improves performance.

It could be a very long list.

And finally generalization about "why believers have better life than infidels" - believing in something improves performance.)

I'm extremely biased because I think any effort to "normalize" a 40-mile commute is poison to any environment, but I still don't get why, if everyone working at places like Google want to live in SF, why can't Google and co. just have offices in the city?

I get that they wouldn't be able to build their own little disneyworlds that way, but instead of having Google build an entire ecosystem, they could just have offices and people could just go downtown to eat, or not need laundry services because they don't lose 2 hours a day in a bus.

If offices were built closer to the city, they could be smaller but I'm fairly convinced most people would consider it an upgrade to quality of life in general.

When I did some work in Tokyo, going outside at lunch and just breathing some fresh air during the 10 minutes spent transiting really helped to refresh the mind.

I've never worked in Google-like environment, but the whole closed-off , prison-like state of the campus seems very off-putting. It's basically the business equivalent of gated communities with their own services, to the detriment of services shared with everyone. I can get why people can get mad.

Stallman's view on this was quite predicatable, as he is very consistant in his opinions.
Guardian, what about a link to the study? Or to the protestors' pages? It's called hypertext for a reason.

The study is here: http://www.danielledai.com/academic/dai-weinzimmer-shuttles....
> Is it justifiable to use the service of a possibly great startup, knowing that there's a real possibility that it might be sold soon and just be a gear in some other company's product?

Asking this question plays into the hands of the tech giants. Undermining the startup ecosystem ultimately benefits them even more than acquihiring.
I'm not sure I agree with that.

There is a legion of people making six figures, who together have a lot of power if they were to try to do something. I know disruption or even violence won't help at first, but it raises awareness. Maybe then people can start talking about intelligent measures to help those who need it.

I know if I was making 200k I'd be glad to be taxed an extra %, if that money was going towards help for people who've seen the place they lived their whole life slowly push them out, even though they're still needed there.

That's an important point. The big fishes need the small ones to survive, so there's demand, demand for people to do lesser paid activities and being in a constant struggle.

Then again I'm Swiss, and we have a history of voting ourselves tax raises, most of which goes to to the lower classes in some way. We live in a pretty happy and safe society though, infrastructures are great and affordable (mostly free if you don't make much). Seems to me like a good tradeoff for passing on a new TV or some designer clothes once a year.
