... Best Buy pays more than anyone else? Hm, this is starting to sound good.
Long term yes, it's cheaper to own than rent/lease.

Renting/leasing is often more cash flow friendly in the short/near term (due to not needing large sums of initial investment and [in the U.S.] tax implications of OpEx vs CapEx expenditures)

If you're trying to preserve capital in a start-up situation renting/leasing is the way to go until you know what resources you actually need.
Here is an idea: you can make it "slide" from wherever you were with your finger to the actual note whenever you enter the surroundings of the note. And you can even light the note a bit when that happens... I think that'd work without making it sound like a step change.
Indeed. :)

I have code I would write differently now. I have code I don't like. I have code that I know doesn't quite work all the time. I have code that I would have written differently if I had more time.

I don't have code that I knew was wrong to write the way I wrote it when I wrote it, given whatever priorities and constraints I was working under.

It probable helps that I don't see my job as writing software. I see my job as making sure the rest of the team can be as effective as possible, and two imperfect programs that save 30 minutes each despite crashing occasionally are better than one perfect program that saves 45 minutes and never crashes.

At the risk of painting all of HN with a very broad brush, I find the calls in this thread to support iOS 6 at 13% usage amusing, given the countless times I've seen arguments here to drop support for old IE versions with similar adoption numbers over the years.

When small team ships a product, they have to make tough calls. The reality is that some day very soon, the number of iOS 6 users will be almost zero. Any delay or time spent making the app work on iOS 6 is time that can't be spent on the core features of the app, bug fixes, and (importantly) testing new beta versions of iOS that we know with 100% certainty will be dominant on the platform in the future.
That describes a vertical monopoly, which is not prohibited. If Apple hadn't acquired PA Semi, they would be selling their products on the open market to the highest bidder, etc. Same situation.

>just because people are more laid back and sane here than in the states.

Are they? I distinctly remember the post-riot reactions in London last summer: people got sentenced to years of imprisonment for posting banter on Facebook and Twitter, with full support from mainstream public opinion. Because we're all cool until you touch private property, and then it's HANG THE THIEF! And if you think that's just Brits being Brits, I can show you the electoral results of people like LePen, Wilders, Haider, and the laws this pressure produced...

Do not make the error of confusing historical development with the essence of man: we might look more laid back and "civilised" because of accidents of history that bestowed us a set of marginally saner laws and a bit more perspective (and recent memory), but underneath we're as brutal as anyone else on the planet.
That would be legitimately great. See, for example, The Phantom Edit, or Brokeback to the Future, or Girl Talk's All Day.

At least one person is possibly using this in production to match images in a catalog. He contacted me about its tendencies to give false positives (because it's optimized for speed and not necessarily accuracy) and I had to admit that I literally do not understand the math or image algorithms well enough to make it do what he wanted.\

Also most of the code I get paid for is javascript hacks for Business Catalyst sites, which are usually ugly, wicked little monsters whose only redeeming quality is they work.
Since no actual configs were posted. I wrote up how I setup my server (which serves a wordpress site along with a custom site) to reverse proxy and cache. There's nginx reverse proxying to my apache server.

full config and details are all here. Not sure since this post really doesn't actually share much, but I think my performance was a lot better.

Although he's an idiot for posting such comments, the way the US police and district attorney's have behaved is unbelievable. This guy is clearly innocent but they seem hellbent on getting a prosecution. I see cases such as this much more often on HN recently and it feels as if the entire US justice system is totally fucked up and completely missing the real targets: the criminals.
This is a terrible attitude and I hope I never have the displeasure of working with you. "What goes around comes around" is a horrible attempt at justifying doing poor work. Please see the following wikipedia entries:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abuse_defense

"""it also refers more generally to any attempt by the defense to use a syndrome or societal condition to deflect responsibility away from the defendant. Sometimes the concept is referred to as the abuse excuse, in particular by the critics of the idea that guilty people may use past victimization to diminish the responsibility for their crimes."""

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learned_helplessness

"""Learned helplessness is a mental state in which an organism forced to endure aversive stimuli, or stimuli that are painful or otherwise unpleasant, becomes unable or unwilling to avoid subsequent encounters with those stimuli, even if they are escapable, presumably because it has learned that it cannot control the situation."""

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationalization_(making_excuses...

"""In psychology and logic, rationalization (also known as making excuses[1]) is a defense mechanism in which perceived controversial behaviors or feelings are logically justified and explained in a rational or logical manner in order to avoid any true explanation, and are made consciously tolerable – or even admirable and superior – by plausible means."""

Please grow up and learn to do the right thing, or at least make an attempt at doing the right thing instead of rationalizing "there was no other option, they made me suffer now you suffer, appeal to authority: but the CTO did it".
Ah ok, so you're proposing a nested array, not an array of structure pointers. I thought you were saying there was some way to use ctypes structures and yet avoid the overhead of the class instances.

And yes, I agree that if you're going to create this type of data structure, then it's worth the trouble to pull out numpy if you can.
Sure at a glance... But once you start looking into it... The proportions are completely insane for the pilots.
Lately the only thing I've been feeling ashamed of is the amount of code I DIDN'T write. I think this is mostly because I fear feeling ashamed of my code after it's running or, even worse, after it's public. I don't know...

The title mentions Futures & Promises, but the link is directly to the GitHub project without any further information about those concurrency constructs.

I'm curious if they managed to implement the blocking operations of Future [1], such as the "result" method. And, if so, did they accomplish that using the same Continuation Passing Style transform that Scala's Delimited Continuations [2] plugin uses, or some other means?

It's not like you ever have any choice with a cable provider anyway, the way it works is a cable company gets in bed with the local government and that's who gets to provide you with cable service.

I must be one of the lucky ones because I've had Comcast for over 10 years and the quality of service (customer service and cable/internet) has always been great. Pricing could be better but if you call they're always willing to give me promotional pricing deals, and there's always satellite TV and/or internet, DSL, or cellular.
Texas is where nearly 1 out of 11 US citizens live, and there's nothing that I see about this case that's unique to Texas. You can narrow your criticism to his house or his bedroom, and exclude Texas from blame too, if it's important to be that reductive.

The unavoidable fact is that what happened in Texas happened in the US. If Texas started segregating lunch counters and water fountains again, it would be legitimate to criticize the US for that, too.

edit: To be more specific, why are you blaming Texas for what happened in Travis County, Texas?
That will solve itself once all the B players retire.

The law has to be applied uniformly. If we prosecute one individual for a particular act, we have to prosecute all individuals who perform such acts. We clearly have, as a society, the means to make this happen, so then, why don't we? It seems that we are abandoning the principles that guide the rule of law here.
Who maintains your AWS instances? You still need someone to create AMIs, script updates, destroy stuck machines, etc. The physical cost of maintenance is pretty minimal unless you have a massive deployment or you have really poor hardware. Especially since if you have a few racks at any decent datacenter they will provide basic remote hands support to do things like replace failed drives.
Linux Mint. Simple, intutive and plays everything.
We're going to be stuck with LTE for at least another 10 years - the big four can't really afford to upgrade the network again sooner than that - LTE for most of the carriers is a forklift upgrade - not just adding some cards and calling it good.

Consider that for the carrier that I work for - the equipment was installed originally in the 1996/97 timeframe, and while there has been some upgrades for EV-DO - the equipment and cabinets are largely of that generation.
Similar experience here. I set up nginx, php-fpm, php-apc, W3 total cache, and put it all behind cloudflare. I have no problem running this on 256MB RAM servers. I just wish wordpress would support sqlite natively, then I wouldn't need all the mysql overhead.
Prison in the US isn't about rehabilitation it's about punishment. No one goes to prison thinking they're going to come out as a better person with a new outlook on life. They're going to come out war-torn and barely above functional with little to no prospects.

It's also risk mitigation. You can spin those AWS instances up and down smoothly depending on your needs.

You can't get rid of a 1+ year lease agreement, or something that you purchased. Nor is it a good idea to buy/lease more quickly without really thinking about the long-term financials.
That's just another made up number.

Nice. Seems like a good way to go for most slide guitar style riffs.

The real tradeoff is when you do want to purposely play all of the notes in between (microtonal scales). Of course, the way the UI is built, different sliding styles could be different view modes, so it's just a judgement call for total number of modes and what those modes should be.

You've got me thinking, so thank you :)

And how many of those are significantly different between the two options? Either way, you still need one or more sysadmins, you still need a backup setup. Sure, there are extra maintenance costs associated with owning the hardware, but what portion of maintaining a server infrastructure is tied up specifically in that, and how does it scale relative to the size of the cluster?
Online businesses by and large use other people's pipes and that inherently makes them all vulnerable. Its like apps on iOS. Apple will always capture most of the value created by the ecosystem as a while, because they control the platform. App developers have little leverage. Its not profitable to be a sharecropper, but that's what online businesses largely are. Regulating and commoditizing the communications infrastructure into "dumb pipes" (I.e. net neutrality) is the only around that. Its regulation that picks winners and losers by telling an entire industry that they have to produce a commodity product so that online businesses can be protected from a flaw intrinsic to their business model.
I prefer brainstorming. If you talk to workout the solution to the problem then surely afterwards you don't need to look over your colleague's shoulder while he's bashing out the syntax? I never understood the purpose of paired programming unless you're explaining somebody the syntax.

I'd like to see this same sort of thing done with updates for the lower 2014 pricing and in either the US West Oregon Region or the US East Region instead of Northern California. NorCal is roughly 10% more costly for many instance types.

Edit: And a little more attention paid to cost of maintenance and outages, which does factor into the decision of self-hosted vs AWS quite heavily. This article sort of does some hand-waving to get away from it, but it is an important consideration.

I didn't intend to ask about code that you knew was wrong at the time. I meant to ask about code that was the best that you knew how to do, but given what you know now, makes you feel embarrassed. This is something that I'm struggling with.
I'll feel really good when I get my $500 credit for an outage that cost me $50,000 in business.

I agree. The amount that law enforcement in the US seem to get away with is quite staggering.

I can understand the night prison officers actions a bit better than the arresting officers, as from their perspective, everyone they have in the cells has already been deemed to be a menace of some sort and it's not their place to get into who is right and wrong. But from this account, it seems there's nothing this guy did to deserve any of the shit the arresting officers put him through.

What happened to the cyclist? Did she get arrested for staining the street with her blood? Or causing a public nuisance?
For math you can get, literally, a hundred or thousandfold speedup by going to a compiled language.
Yeah, a lot of my code that's not a personal project.

I had a lot of code left in my hands when I started the company I'm at, it was awful, and unfortunately I've not got the time to go through and rework it yet. One day though. So everything up until now has just been bolted on and it comes back to bite me at least once a month.

I've started using Laravel now and I feel much more comfortable knowing that it's keeping me on the straight and narrow.
If you want to be even more advanced in your Hemingway analysis of text, you will want to have a feature that highlights long Latinate-root words and suggests short Germanic-root synonyms as replacements.
Very poetic. I think my satisfaction with the code I write depends largely on the environment it was produced in. For code I write for myself, I'm generally fairly pleased at the time I write it. Of course this changes years later when I look back and wonder what possessed me to construct such a monstrosity.

On the other hand, I find code written for pay is often uglier than I would like at the outset due to time constraints. But if it gets the job done and has high likelihood of being scrapped completely (as can often be the case when experimenting in a startup) then that's a tradeoff I'm willing to live with.
Doesn't advanced compilation cover that case?
This is exactly why the stories of people that do come out a better person (got a degree, found religion, etc) make the "news". No body talks much about the other 99% that just come out more pissed at the world than before they went in.

You think that people don't leech on the GPL? Great, then I have found just the customer for some snake oil!

There wouldn't be the whole GPL violations thingy if people were not already taking without giving under the GPL.
I did the same with about 5 WP sites and another 5 custom sites running on DO at 512 (it's now on 2gb). One of the custom sites gets about 15,000 pageviews per day, and APC with memcache seem to handle WP on Apache fairly well for now. If you document your setup I would be interested; I tried to get nginx running on another droplet but lost patience. I'm sure I could have done it, but it was lower on the list ;)

* It made sense traffic/memory wise to go to 2gb, but all of the sites are 'behind' cloudflare and that seems to help a lot as the server rarely starts breathing hard...
Great news, but they really should have picked GPLv3+ or GPLv2+.
I think the documentation is not clear here. ElasticSearch has an internal GeoPoint type, which can be read from any kind of JSON document. One of the possible notations is the GeoJSON coordinate notation.

Elasticsearch can map any kind of JSON, so you can, without problems, write a mapping for proper GeoJSON points. (map "type" as unanalyzed string, map "coordinate" as GeoPoint). Arrays of values are generally supported in ES.

The biggest problem is that Elasticsearch probably does not provide all kinds of queries you'd like if you are working with complex shapes. Basically, only distance and simple location queries with polygons are supported.
