HJSON is JSON for Humans, less commas, more comments
This makes a perfect illustration why startups are shit. Instead of working on something useful, people either produce crappy javascript games, or play them. Now massively downvote this comment, write 100 replies explaining why I'm wrong and how retarded I am for trying to say something like this, then go read something by Paul Graham and play more clones of 1024. And then write a long essay why your startup failed.
I did get an 'h' once. It's simply less common than numers like 3 or √7.
It's even got 'i' (and everyone knows that's not a real number).
This does have swipe capability, as far as I can tell. I can swipe in all six directions on my phone. However, it still sucks to play, because the layout is totally messed up in portrait mode, and the page is too zoomed in to see the whole board in landscape.

Nimrod is not a statically typed version of Python in the sense Hack is a statically typed version of PHP. Not at all. Hack is gradually typed, Nimrod is not. Big difference.
Almost anyone. I can't find the terms to get it to show me how a dog sees a postal carrier. Various terms either failed, or applied the vision to a film poster instead.
Most people just never saw one of them. People with really good social skills and really good hacking are rare unicorns. So, if people see one they get suspicious and start looking harder.

That would simply accelerate existing trends. All the money would go toward pumping out more celebrity gossip because that's what gets eyeballs. There would be no remaining incentive to engage in actual journalism.

If they're wasting money on bad management decisions, they're wasting stockholder money.

They're also continuing to propagate an outwardly facing engineering culture that will make it even harder to hire people to help dig them out of the PHP hole -- perpetuating this further.

Your argument is simply another take on survivor bias fallacy.

It's reminiscent of the old text adventures, where the easy part was figuring out what to do, and the hard part was figuring out the right syntax to match the coder's expectations.

A question: given the financial risk, why did you trust Mt. Gox with your private keys?
So common business owners need day-to-day advice from people outside the company to run their business? I somehow doubt that.

If someone was not on payroll and interacting with my employees on a personal level and on a daily or weekly basis I would have reasons to be concerned.

Being a "start-up" doesn't make you impervious to these problems. It simply means you haven't run into them... yet.
> Is the effort to update from 1.4.x to 1.7.x worth it before going public?

Having recently upgraded two production projects from Django 1.3 to 1.6, I'd say YMMV but it likely isn't. Go public unless you have someone at hand with enough eagerness and knowledge of the codebase to do the migration quickly so you don't have to postpone the release.

The migration itself is no big deal, as others pointed out—you just make a checklist of backwards-incompatible changes and walk/grep through the codebase for every item. I don't think any DB schema migrations were required. Took me two days a project, not counting manual testing afterwards (unit tests were there, which is convenient but can't guarantee that everything will work).

The process is not very exciting, though. It helps when codebase is stable and you have the time to go through it without rush and make sure everything works for some time after deploying the upgrade to production (being ready to roll back quickly). That's also why I'd suggest going public and leaving Django upgrade for later, when things calm down a bit.
No it's the exact opposite, both teams have to approve, not one or the other. Read the article rather than assuming you know what the headline means.

Why on earth would you have faith in handing out your cryptocurrencies' private key?

Is this just a symptom of the wrong-headed thinking around cloud SaaS, where data and continuity are considered to be of such low value that they can be entrusted to any number of external parties?
Video editor
Actually heared video clip software program?

Video clip modifying software programs are software that deals with the actual post-production video clip modifying associated with video series on the pc non-linear modifying program (NLE). It's changed conventional flat bed celluloid movie modifying resources as well as analogue video clip tape-to-tape on the internet editing[1] devices.
Sure, in America. Just because you guys are bad at regulating banks doesn't mean it's impossible.
Just because MtGox failed doesn't mean unregulated Bitcoin businesses must fail. Iceland is a pretty poor posterboy for your point: their banks failed even more spectacularly than other countries', their cleanup effort was just much more ruthless. Essentially your argument in favour of regulation is that we now sort-of know how to clean up after it fails spectacularly.

Indeed, other exchanges and other Bitcoin businesses don't appear to suffer from the gross incompetence that brought down MtGox.

> Another thing to keep in mind, the people who got the bailouts are a subset of the people who claim unfettered capitalism will cure all ills.

Is that so? In that case they are paying the same kind of lip service to that point as a kleptocratic dictator on his private jet is to socialism.
I don't really understand why you'd want to have a design like Git as opposed to one (or more) libraries, where commands would simply be endpoints but not rely on each other.
This in itself is a crime. At the very least, it doesn't make them any less guilty, and moving around indescriminate amount of bitcoins where we do not know from whence they came to plug a huge financial hole in an insolvent company would raise a thousand eyebrows from those paying attention.

Total novice. Clearly didn't talk to his lawyer first.
You will soon be able to use any of the cloud products mentioned on http://www.wolframcloud.com/.

There will also be Wolfram Desktop, the local IDE for the Wolfram Language that comes with our online products, as well as Mathematica 10, a non-cloud-enabled instantiation of the language for the academic market.

If you want notification as soon as we go public, sign up on http://www.wolfram.com/programming-cloud/.

Disclosure: I deployed this code from my own copy of a prerelease version of Wolfram Desktop, which I could do because I'm an employee.

P.S. Your idea of being able to write Wolfram Language code straight into Alpha and have it execute is an interesting one. You can do some basic stuff like http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=Table[i^2%2C+{i%2C+1%2C...] already, but I agree we should allow you to execute anything (safe) using Alpha.
Regulation enables this kind of thing systemically. Let this happen a few times without regulation and the market will demand trustworthy solutions, not some politician waving a magic wand and declaring something safe. As we've seen recently that system doesn't work too well.

Everyone who lost money in this knew the risks. Nobody is calling for accountability beyond the guy that actually is accountable. How refreshing is that? How refreshing is it to actually have a name of the person who fucked up, instead of a stream of pseudonymous apologetic soundbites from banks/regulators/politicians?

Not to mention the fact this whole problem is completely self contained. There is no talk of rescuing MtGox with tax money, or the need for a "national debate" on how to run this shit in the future. If you didn't run MtGox or have money in MtGox or don't outright choose to be involve yourself in some other way then you can go to bed at night and sleep well knowing it is absolutely not your problem.

This, friends, is one example of the many long forgotten benefits of private trade.
My understanding is that you can use dynamic typing, but not dynamic code generation. Not the same thing.
Did we expect more?

there's one hell of a difference between a large financial organisation or an exchange and some half arsed startup who hacked up a web site in PHP that just happens to handle something that represents a currency. The former at least probably has a QA team, knows industry regulations and best practices and designs their architecture properly. Oh and they have cumulative experience and a designated location you can visit with burning torches and pitchforks when they steal your money. I'm ignoring regulation as I've worked in the compliance industry and it's entirely about working around it.

Not joking and I'm sure that this is going to stand on a few toes but some of the stuff I've seen on HN is verging on criminal. So many immature poorly thought out and damn right dangerous products being thrown out. Lots of people are sitting on ticking bombs like this.

I must be in the lower echelons of this secret HN club, because I cannot see the score on any comment. I thought it was the general and public absences of meaningless internet points that kept the comment system of HN in check.
And yet you still see banking security that insists on alphanumeric password only and no 2FA.

Seriously, that's screwed up. That being said, banks have insurance and all that jazz. So even though the state of security is not that great, it seems that you are less likely to get screwed incase of a screwup.

Every negativity thread on PHP on HN just serves as a reminder how poorly informed and inexperienced most developers here really are.

Good to keep in mind the next time you read a topic on how awesome language X/framework Y/method Z is.

It's depressing to see how much of our profession is informed by the desire to being cool and fashionable, like kids in schoolyard.
I agree, the title may be a little over the top. But, see the guy, he is a student living in a place where they do not have much facilities or exposure.

Customers lose that kind of money, they get it back for free. Socialising losses is an annoyingly common theme in ‘capitalist’ countries; unfortunately, it is politically infeasible not to bail out failed banks.

>Actually that's the very definition of a truly free market.

No it isn't, the free market is a very defined thing, based on the number of actors in the system, perfect information, rational actors. It has absolutely nothing to do with the presence or lack of regulation (though obviously regulation can play a role in these factors)
Large financial organisations can be surprisingly criminal and incompetent when it comes to IT - you don't have to look far. Knight Capital, NatWest, HSBC... just a few names that pop into my head. The big guys spend large amounts of time and money convincing regulators and the public that they're clean and clever. It's public confidence that counts.

All of us who look down upon Accountants take a hard look in the mirror (I am one of them who used to). Most of us are like..."meh...its just +'s and -'s with some tax component here and there, how hard can it be. I will get to it when I get to it."

Turns out all those tough exams and practices are in place to mitigate this exact scenario.

The above assuming no malicious intent on part of MtGox and the recent revelation was pure stupidity.
I just looked it up. The CEO of Ford (Alan Mulally) holds a masters degree in aeronautical and astronautical engineering (among others). If you only allow for the term "engineer" to be used to refer to someone who has en engineering educational background, then yes, he is.

Musk, on the other hand, holds a degree in physics. He started a PhD program on applied physics, but quit to pursue his entrepreneurial interests. If you judge engineers purely from an educational perspective, then yes, Musk is not an engineer.

Nonetheless, if we look at wikipedia's description of what "Engineer" means, we get:

> An engineer is a professional practitioner of engineering, concerned with applying scientific knowledge, mathematics, and ingenuity to develop solutions for technical problems.

So, by this definition, Musk is an engineer...
Haha, nice one :).

>Cracking a wallet is supposed to be something that requires the resources of a state-sized entity.

A galaxy-sized entity, maybe? The only known way to find a private key from a public key is brute force. That's way beyond the abilities of a state, unless they've made a massive breakthrough in quantum computing.

Fluke and the Chinese manufacturers of the cheap multimeters, who are the infringers in this case, most certainly are direct competitors. They are both selling multimeters, and the price differential is beside the point. Sparkfun is just a distributor, they're not engaged in trademark infringement and have just been caught in the middle. Fluke is buying itself some nice PR, but that doesn't alter the legal situation one whit.

We hear of plenty of similar cases where some firm sends a C&D to a barely related firm

It's not similar if they're barely related.

I began trading on Mt. Gox in mid 2011. Having most of my coins on there meant that I could make trades immediately based on market trends. I wasn't aware of all the negative reviews of Mt. Gox, because most of my "bitcoin experience" was visiting mtgox.com every few weeks. As soon as something clearly nefarious was going on, I was lucky enough to get 1.3 BTC out of my account in January. The remaining value of my account was $5000+ USD. I had sent in a photocopy of my passport last November, which they "processed" in February (already aware of the insolvency). This really pissed me off because I was finally "approved" to withdraw USD from my account but I didn't have the ability to do so on the website.
Perhaps but the 200k in question was last transferred in 2011 (until they found it and moved it very recently).

At least the reddit discussions I've been directed to have been very unscientific— more pseudo-scientific in that they dump a bunch of data and throw around some technical terms. Though there may be some selection bias since people are probably more likely to ask me for my opinion on the more questionable work.
I think it was case in _ancient_ China. Current China is more capitalist than US will ever be.
They're pretty fine to be honest. They have mitigation and FCA oversight which means you're not in the shit as a customer (usually).

Knight capital was a cock up in a high risk trading env. They paid for that.

HSBC was money laundering which is basically the entire purpose of a bank.

NatWest was a process cock up.

However no money went "oops we lost it" and was never seen again. At most, even with HSBC consumer withdrawal limits it's a minor inconvenience for a couple of days.

Much like mobile phone networks, people expect 100% uptime but that's unrealistic in practice. Always keep £200 rolled up in your mattress.

Exactly my experience. I have the luck to work with what are basically geniuses, guys that were hacking at 12. Two decades later they are unstoppable.
Brilliant people have the productivity of 5 normal coders, but you have to constantly rotate among projects, or they will get bored incredibly rapidly. Writing the final reports is torture to them.

Incidentally (And I welcome negative points here) a great indicator of the capacity to focus for a long time on boring things and finish, should be college. It's no wonder many hacker geniuses can't finish it.

Please don't spread FUD. I've never tried to find the EULA before, but it appears to be pretty simple.

1) Go to www.microsoft.com
2) Search "windows 8 eula" (http://search.microsoft.com/en-us/results.aspx?form=MSHOME&m...)
3) Click the top link to download the EULA

Same thing worked when I tried "windows 7 eula" (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/search/results.aspx?form=MSHO...)

These are also top results when I try the same query on Google.

Did you even try to find it?

Obpedantry: In theory rho allows you to recover private keys with work-factor 2^128 (times some small constant depending on how much storage you wish to use), which is significantly less than the 2^256 you might expect from "brute force".

You seem to be shifting the goal posts. The discussion above is around whether trademark law requires Fluke to take the action they took today. Not whether it's morally right, wrong or what reasons there might be for it or anything else. Just the implication by the poster above that somehow Fluke was forced to do what they did by trademark law.

The truth is they are required to "protect" their trademark, but that doesn't require anything like what their actions were today. It's an almost irrelevant and highly misleading statement to throw into the discussion. Just to give an example, they could easily have arranged with SparkFun to allow the goods through but require a sticker be placed on each item identifying that it is not a Fluke product. That would also protect the trademark. If there is evidence that SparkFun is wilfully antagonistic and uncooperative then destroying products seems like a last resort you might arrive at. But before that there are a million different solutions that don't involve destroying and blocking SparkFun products open to both parties.
blocking Twitter is not censorship(because you can't expose private conversations about corruption) but downvoting is(because you are preventing pro-government statements being celebrated).

this is what Turkish people are dealing with.
I'm from Istanbul, and I love how this block makes my pro-govt friends say "Why did they do this?". Twitter is (was?) used extensively in Turkey, and I feel like this block will end up with the government shooting itself in the foot by showing their supporters how sad the things they do are. There's no explanation for this block, and there can't ever be.
Marketing stunts don't usually give away the core product.
On the scale of a single request (doing stuff from the command line), most benchmarks I've seen are about half the memory footprint. Obviously that's going to vary program to program ($data = file_get_contents("some2gbfile.txt"); is going to take 2GB, regardless), but for "normal usage" 1/2 looks fairly common.

On a webserver, that goes further since HHVM is single-process/multi-thread, whereas PHP (in its typical setup) is multi-process/single-thread. This cuts HHVM's memory overhead much further.

Yes, PHP can run multi-threaded, but it still has a number of instability issues in that mode.
absolutely wrong.
Do you have a source for that? :-)
