OMFG comments are allowed! Was it so hard to allow those in the first spec?

Use mine - I think it's the best HN app out there:

It lets you login, vote, post and comment. The only thing it doesn't do yet (but updates will be coming soon) is voting in polls. I use it when I'm at home and I can get on my computer because I honestly think it's a better experience than using the browser.
This reminds me of Ben Horowitz's article, Ones and Twos: http://www.bhorowitz.com/ones_and_twos

I have to say that it seems darn hard to be a One. Not that it's easy to be a Two, but Ones have this mystical aspect about them that seem to ascribe their traits and success to something almost like genetics/luck/natural talent that hard work can never touch.

As creative as I think I am, I know that I lack the vision for being a really top-tier One. I'm good at analyzing problems, finding solutions for them, streamlining stuff, etc. So you could say that I'm a Two. And yet, here I am running a bad startup (and maybe it's because I don't seem to be a One that it's not going amazing? :D).

That being said, I'm really impressed with what Tim Cook is doing so far. Wooing and hiring the Burberry CEO seemed like a total upgrade on trying to get back the guy they lost to JC Penney (who later was fired anyway) to run their retail operations. All the medical-oriented rumors about the iWatch make me think that Apple hasn't yet lost its touch for making something mindblowing; it will be really interesting to see if they truly are introducing a totally new product category yet again. And the fact that Tim Cook can get all fiery during a public shareholder meeting to defend what many people will agree is the right thing to do demands respect.

Tim Cook may be a Two, rather than a One. But so far, I would not yet count Apple out just because he's a Two. I get the impression so far that he really can keep it together. I'm not making a prediction here, I'm just saying that I wouldn't count him out. So far, he has not done anything significantly bad enough to make me think he's the wrong guy for the job. In fact, I think he has done some good things.

And let's face it. I don't think even Steve Jobs would have been good enough to consistently introduce new product categories for the rest of his life, were he still here. That kind of track record is really tough to match for a single person. I may be wrong, but I think you need to ingrain that way of life into an entire organization for there to be any chance of continually doing it. And hopefully, that's what Tim Cook inherited.

I'm hoping some people start to wake up and realize they don't have to be in SF or Silicon Valley to be successful entrepreneurs or technologists.

Between the harsh northeastern winter, and whats happening in San Francisco, we're making a big push to attract folks with low cost of living and high quality of life in Myrtle Beach, SC through http://WhyNotTheBeach.com.

With so many companies becoming more and more open to remote workers, remote teams, remote offices, I think more cities will have the opportunity to attract highly paid, highly talented individuals for more quality of life reasons instead of congregating in tech hubs.

It just comes down to demonstrating that the resources are available locally, or have advanced enough online so that you're not at a disadvantage. One argument to being in SF is everyone is competing for talent, funding, etc. from the same sources. There are investors and talent elsewhere who would love to get in on opportunities, and I think that can start to turn the tide.

As a transplant from Boston, MA to Myrtle Beach - I was overwhelmed after being in the Boston startup scene and involved with TechStars for 4 years. Boston certainly isn't at the SF level, but I still believe there are compelling arguments for those in Boston, NYC, Philly, SF and elsewhere to consider alternative cities with low cost of living and high quality of life. Time will tell!
Eh, I broadly categorize knee jerk as a bad thing, but I'm really more about understanding an emotion rather than picking one to support an opinion on this matter.

I wouldn't say it's Christian as in, Christian and only christian, I'd say its a traditional male view, Chivalric leanings are common in a lot of other societies as well.

A strict Judaic interpretation of a woman's value is not what I was trying to get across (not sure if this is more a reflection of your confirmation bias, or my ignorance of my biases).

It was more of a: 'I know you, and here's an event catered for you and your interests, thus I support it vicariously through you'. I am using these pronouns to emphasize that they are female because this event is related to gender and the intended audience being male, and to demonstrate relationship proximity. Swap out the event from female to black, and change it to black wife/husband, son/daughter, boyfriend/girlfriend, friend and I guess it would read a lot less like your interpretation.

As for worth, that's really in the territory of belief and philosophy, i.e. Trolley Problem. Your actions in the events of picking between people to support demonstrates your projection of worth which some would say is the same as worth.

I think your raging accusations that the nerds protesting against RSA are uninformed of the actual facts is totally off base. Maybe there are some facts that RSA is holding back and refusing to officially inform us of, but I think we already have a pretty good idea of what they are.

And how does your answer "Probably because..." address my question "What is the name of the law...". I am asking you for an actual objective fact, the name of the law, not for you to take a wild guess about "Why" anybody is doing anything.

Are you even replying to the right posting, or just constructing a coatrack on which to hang your off-base raging accusations? Care to try again and cite the name of the law that I asked for?
Except that Chrome users aren't allowed to install extensions from outside the official Chrome extension store anymore (and the ones inside the Chrome app store aren't exactly trustworthy due to auto-update and creators transferring ownership to adware companies - especially small single-site extensions that sell cheaply).

Another difference between the Surface and an iPad is the Surface’s split screen mode...people often need multiple apps to work on a single task. I can’t count the instances where I’ve used split screen mode just in the last few days

Called it! In fact, I called it right here from before the Surface existed as a tablet when Microsoft put out the vaporware tablet commercial!

Split screen is one of those things like cut and paste. It might seem inelegant to some, but it's powerful and widely understood and can be used to share information between tools in very useful ways.

For a system to be powerful, it needs facilities like this.
Developer mode. Pretty sure anyone that's going to be involved in custom CSS styles knows their way around the plugin system.

Layoff is a blunt instrument that swings in one direction, and cannot be undone. It's easy, but it results in too much unnecessary casualties.

When you've been with a company for 10, 15 years, you accumulate wealth of business knowledge that can always be re-deployed in other areas through careful planning.

That takes more skill than just swinging hammer. But with the absurd money we're paying the executives, shouldn't we expect a little more than just a hammer in their toolbox?
Tim Cook to Climate Change Deniers: Get Out of Apple Stock

Say I'm trying to sell water.

Features: Liquid at room temperature. One oxygen atom, two hydrogen atoms. Has high specific heat capacity.

Benefits: Helps with the balance of bodily fluids necessary for digestion, absorption, transportation of nutrients, creation of saliva, maintenance of body temperature.
Bare metal: Probably yes, if you don't need the services of an multithreading-OS.

Assembly: probably no. Have a look at what people are doing in C++ on the Arduino platform (the Mega328 has the same Flash/RAM).
Wow, thanks so much. I still have a huge amount to learn :-) Luckily there are a lot of great books out there and mentors around who I can learn from in order to try and become the best CEO I can be.

I think there's a chance a 16 month internship could work, be sure to get in touch :-) If you're self-driven and can add to the team and help us move forward, we'd definitely take a look!

Great editing standards.
On the contrary. The standard is perfectly clear that anything can happen when you write code that employs UB.

> behavior, upon use of a nonportable or erroneous program construct or of erroneous data, for which this International Standard imposes no requirements.

NO REQUIREMENTS -- so, semantically, programs that employ undefined behavior are completely meaningless.

With regard to the second quotation, the part you italicized is nice, but the part you didn't is just as important:

> Possible undefined behavior ranges from ignoring the situation completely with unpredictable results

The entire quotation basically says "when you write code with undefined behavior, anything can happen; the results can be unpredictable, or they can appear to be sensible. An error could also be triggered." But that's the point: no behavior is specified. There's no restriction to what might happen.

Take the function above that has a NULL dereference when the input pointer is NULL. That function could be compiled in such a way that it writes an ASCII penguin to stdout if the input pointer is NULL; it's totally within its rights to do that. Your mental model of how C programs work is entirely inaccurate if you expect undefined behavior in C to do something that you deem sensible.

It's an orthogonal issue. I would like the official site to be vaguely readable on mobile. Whether they then choose to discourage posting from mobile is a different question.

(My personal view is that 'mobile' is very difficult to define. If I connect a bluetooth keyboard to a Galaxy Note then why the hell should I be discouraged from posting on the grounds I might post lower quality comments?)
Crowdscore.io is Offering 50% Reseller Commission
We started http://crowdscore.io last year and have some good local UK based interest from large companies, which is great, but one thing we have learned is that clients of a certain size want sales people to go see them and demo the product before committing to buy.

This is fine at enterprise level sales, but we are a UK tech founder based company and the cost of sending people all over the world is proving to be massive.

So we have started a reseller model that gives 50% of our Enterprise SaaS fee to the reseller for doing all the client interactions.

Our product is priced at an enterprise level, so if you think you can help us, fill in our form at http://crowdscore.io/Reseller/ and we will be in touch.

thanks
I just wanted to chime in and say "The Job After Steve Jobs" - well played on the title of this article.
It's important to keep in mind that the Metro apps work better on smaller screens than normal desktop apps. They hide a lot of the UI when you don't need it, so there's much more room for actual content. I wouldn't want to run, say, IntelliJ Idea on a Surface, but for many other apps, the screen size is not much of an issue. Also, you can dock the Surface when you're on a desktop, and use a larger screen.

These are about £0.71 at single unit quantities and are very hobbyist friendly in a DIP package. Not sure what I will do with them, but I feel the need to buy 100.
I totally disagree. Innovation does not happen on a fixed schedule; you have to wait until the technology is available to match a significant product vision.

Look at how long it took Apple to do a tablet. The iPad launched more than a decade after Microsoft pushed their tablet vision; heck you could buy iBook tablet conversions for years before the iPad.

Samsung rushed their watch out the door to beat Apple to the market. Result: total dud. I'm not eager for Apple to try te same thing. Tim Cook will achieve the best success by pushing his folks to NOT launch until they have a blow-your-mind level product.
I don't believe the OneNote Metro app supports indexing handwritten notes.

If you open the same notebook in the Win32 client and allow it to index and sync back to Sky/One/WhateverIt'sCalledThisWeekDrive you should be able to search through previously handwritten and Win32-client-OCRd notes in the Metro app.

Here's something that has seemed to change in the newest Chrome: When I click the "+" (New Style Rule) in the inspector to add a new style to an element (let's say the element has a class of ".my-element"), in previous versions of Chrome, it would create an empty style like .my-element {}.

Now, when I do that, it creates "body > center > table > tbody > tr:nth-child(3) > td > table:nth-child(4) > tbody > tr:nth-child(1) > td > table > tbody > tr > td.default > span > font > p > a"

What happened here? Does that have anything to do with this User Stylesheet stuff? Because this new functionality is infuriating and I don't even really know what to search for to fix this change.

Data on the fact that boys are encouraged more than girls to take part in competitive activities (on the whole, so not in reference specifically to soccer and american football), or better yet, trained in some way (sports or non-sports) to be more aggressive in their pursuits.

As an example, a female friend of mine was a gymnast growing up and she was most definitely in an "aggressive", competitive environment. This again is simply an example from my personal sphere which leads me to pose the question as to how such a sweeping statement can be made about the fact that girls are not trained to be aggressive in the sense of competitive, ambitious etc. The limited data set that I am exposed to based on my personal connections indicates no "obvious" bias that you seem to imply exists as a matter of fact.

For clarification, I am not definitely not taking aggressive to mean violent/harmful. We can definitely agree on the fact that that is not a helpful character trait as a founder, so I don't question that this is what the quote is referencing.

Dunno, they're extremely popular in Switzerland, where I live. I think among consumers, Mac market share is quite high. It's different in businesses, but businesses don't buy that many games :-)

I'm working on http://shobia.com.

It's going to be two things. First, a wiki for hobbies and interests like home improvement. That's the basic, ho-hum part.

The other, exciting part is that it'll provide a variety of finder and recommendation tools. At the moment, I'm working on a tool to help people find career matches. But in the long run, I hope the site will cover topics like finding apps and video games, cars, outfits and so much more!
AVR is so old school now and has been for years. AVR only lives on because of the hobbyist, like Arduino. Professionals have switched to Cortex M0, because of size, price, and power consumption.

Another option would be to set the text caret inside the text box, but allow people to write anywhere, while the focus is on a text field. This is probably something where you'd have to do a ton of different prototypes, and see which one feels best.
Edit to add: this is the primary advantage of having great cash flow and a lot of capital: Apple can choose when to launch new products; they don't have to force things out the door to keep the lights on.
I really wanted a Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga: it's the ideal combination of notebook and tablet. At 12.5 inches it's just that little bit more usable than a Surface Pro.

In the end I bought a MBP13 because the TPY has a lead time of 6-12 weeks, and Lenovo are extremely bad at telling you this. So far I'm happy with the Apple, but I can see myself picking a TPY up at some point..

Racket's extensive collection of libraries aren't meant to answer anything about Scheme -- they're for Racket. That's why we changed the name.

At our company we use Slack [1] all the time for chatting and keeping in touch. It's basically just an IRC front end. (Slack is co-founded by Stewart Butterfield of Flickr)

For me the big advantage is that it "just works" (web interface + mobile app) for everyone in the company whereas there is overhead to getting IRC setup. We had tried IRC previously and it didn't take. It also doesn't hurt that Slack looks sexy.

I think that IRC has really stuck around because it somehow really captures asynchronous group discussion, but also simultaneously keeps the barrier to participation really low. It makes total sense to me that the IRC community is still so strong.

TrueClass and FalseClass aren't exactly "classes" in the usual sense - for instance, `TrueClass.new` throws a NoMethodError.

Under the hood, true and false are singletons - `(1 == 1).object_id` will always be 20. At least in MRI / YARV, that makes booleans much cheaper in terms of memory (a single pointer vs. a pointer + an RObject struct) but means that they don't have their own instance methods.

Keeping the classes separate makes it possible to metaprogram additional behavior onto true and false - for instance, the `blank?` method added by ActiveSupport.
Quote: "So why will my next phone not be a Nexus? One word: tethering. Many people claim they can make a day without charging their phone."

But the phone under discussion is running KitKat, which supports Mobile Hotspot. Mobile Hotspot allows a kind of wireless "tethering" without requiring a USB cable that would interrupt charging. I've tested it and it works. Also, a local wireless solution doesn't interfere with transaction speed at cell-phone data rates.
