> It was a temporary lapse in judgment.

Leaving your child in a car for five minutes is definitely a lapse in judgment. Not because it's dangerous so much as because your peers are stupid. I remember a time where I was really tempted to leave my kid in the car. He was asleep. It was a nice cool day. I was going to be gone for much less than five minutes. I was going to be able to see the car the entire time. Nope. Better safe than sensible.
The player equipment has also become much more advanced, but is it helping or hurting? They should go back to leather helmets and no pads (like rugby) and see what happens.
The problem with a hardware implementation is that you break algorithms and coding systems for which integer overflow, or rather integer wrapping, is a necessary piece rather than an exception case. You could, in theory, add an instruction that disables integer exceptions, but that would make the hardware more complicated. You could also redesign the aforementioned algorithms and systems to not rely on the implicit wrapping, but then you make them more expensive.
Another example of why you should never talk to the cops. When they come to ask, "Did you or your wife leave your child in the car?" Only acceptable response is: come back with a warrant.
Anyone able to compare this with Phaser (http://phaser.io/)?

This is really pretty. Kudos to the dev/designers. However, if there's one thing on my website I don't want to be exciting, it's entering payment data.
Most US communities, besides a few metro areas, are planned and built with regard to the automobile as the sole form of transporation. If there is any public transport system at all, it usually consists of buses which are often late, infrequent (30 minutes to an hour wait between buses for smaller communities), and travel very slowly on average (since they often make frequent stops to pick up passengers).

Why isn't public transportation better than it is a lot of places? I'd attribute it to lack of funding by local governments due to politicians who don't consider public transport to be important at all (most of them would be embarrassed to ever be seen riding in a bus rather than a mercedes or something). It is considered transportation for the lower classes (who should be embarrassed they aren't wealthy!), and thus isn't reevaluated or improved at all.
>'You can call it the Reddit of tech products, the Hacker News of product launches, but none of these descriptions really capture what Product Hunt is.'

Neither does this article, or the linked site, for me at least - the article uses the word product 41 times, but I'm still not sure what is meant by 'product'.

Honest question, is there some particular criteria for being a 'product' or is it just the hot catch-all lingo for app / site / tool / service?

Perhaps the incredible similarities between many of those 'products' is adding to my confusion - I thought I was seeing some sort of design competition / template collection for a while.
@hackerboos, I am looking to build something somewhat similar and looking to get some advice. Would you be willing to help?
I don't think its as much about outcompeting on price as it is finding people who will use your site, love your site, and tell their friends to use your site.
Inaccurate Numberwang
"Enterprise" can mean a lot of things, but I would expect: support for LDAP authentication and paid on-call technical support at a minimum. This project doesn't look "Enterprise" to me (yet).
While it's tough to criticize the decision to leave a child in the car for a few minutes -- happened to me all the time as a child -- I'm forever scarred by seeing a dead child pulled out of a car in the office complex next to mine [1]. The dad was bashing his head against a tree trying to knock himself unconscious because he was so overcome with grief. Officers were trying to restrain him when his wife showed up and went completely (understandably) histerical, pounded her fist on the ground and screaming at her husband.

I can't fathom how one could begin to process and move on from such an incident.

So while I don't think it should be illegal to leave a child in the car, personally that's a line I'll not cross with my kids.

New PC company, started completely by one person
New PC company that specializes in selling custom gaming PCs. Interesting enough, the it was started by one person. Everything from web design and the actual making of the PCs is done by this one person.
I love OSX, but the jumping is a very new behavior and the application specific parts of the menu bar aren't even a good idea for large monitors (let alone multiple monitors).
"It's far more of a rounding error than your money."

For Bill Gates vs. a median networth individual, they actually seem to wind up fairly comparable on presidential elections, ignoring the electoral college. The more local the election, the more sway your individual vote has, of course (and often the more influence the decisions have on your life, day-to-day).
Only if the federal government outlawed them. The states have a right to maintain a militia, but not an obligation.

Awesome, always enjoy seeing more projects in this space. I'd enjoy looking at what interop support this project has, and maybe look at doing an interop "bake off" with some other open source social networking projects one day.
I woudl be very upset if someone who hurt my ${loved one} went free because of the Fruit of the Poisonous Tree doctrine.

The problem is that what content publishers think of as "DRM" is something THEY can trust, which means YOU can't. You might have something in mind that indivudal users can trust, but that is something other than DRM by a content publishers definition.
Fantastic viz.

So, they pushed up on the height parameter, but hit a ceiling.

Then they've started to push further on the weight parameter, where the "ceiling" is more flexible.

You can bulk up to some extent, but your height is pretty much a given.

"direct statistical correlation between less fields and the amount of chargebacks received"

Spot on and completely agreed.

But in my experience getting that CC at nearly any cost, even @ the end of a long sales process, delivers net gains even measured against returns etc.

For enterprise (eg anybody that can afford it) there are fraud prevention solutions in place to balance the outcome and I've been thrilled watching STRIPE strip away the complexity for "the rest of us".

But point well taken, multiple considerations in testing anything in your funnel and always optimize to highest LTV / KPI.

Point of reference for the above is spending the last ~10 years running CRO projects across dozens of verticals, millions of transactions.

Coding Is the New Literacy
Ruby and Python each did one release where they were willing to do significant changes. That's it — they're not doing it again for a good long while now. It's an isolated incident, not a trend in those languages' development practices that we can project into the future.

Go did breaking changes pre-1.0, but they are now committed to providing a stable platform that only accretes features (http://golang.org/doc/go1compat).
My solution was only with 10 seconds of thought from a layman. I'm not even an Electrical Engineer. I'm guessing the best-of-the-best in the Google-rola and Apple-A7+ hives are capable of deeper thoughts on the issue. They're at least closer to the point of contact from the tower than I am.
In '85 my father had two monitors in an IBM AT running autocad. One was for the image and the other was text only where the commands appeared as he typed and output was printed.
I wonder why someone would trust "McDumpals" with their payment information to subscribe and purchase items, given that it is a site dedicated to stealing payment information?

(Just kidding, I know it's obviously because they aren't using a broken, insecure payment mechanism for transactions, like our credit card system.)
Simple web-based file sharing (beta)
I don't know what the current Windows embedded offering is, but Windows CE has a long history of running on fairly small devices. I've seen it on printers, in-flight entertainment systems, ATMs, oscilloscopes, etc. It's heavier than Contiki, sure, but on par with Linux, from what I've seen.
If you need something easy, nothing is better IMO than Stripe Checkout.

It's insanely easy to integrate, and has an awesome (modal) payment form.
Everybody is saying steroids, but another thing that happened around the 1970-80s is that college football became a much bigger business:

Apparently the breeding program is working.
I can tell you what it means to us at Fogbeam: It's just a Social Network that is tailored to included features that make it specifically useful inside an enterprise, as a way of sharing information / links / knowledge / whatever.

In our opinion, what distinguishes an "enterprise" social network from a "non enterprise" social network are things like:

1. LDAP/Active Directory support

2. Programmatic provisioning with an API

3. Support for integration with other enterprise applications via standard protocols. iCal / CalDAV for integration with calendaring servers / groupware, for example.

4. Etc.
Personally I haven't ever created a startup, but I have been slightly successful in the marketing realm. Here's some tips:
#1: Create a Unique Name
Now I know this sounds dumb and obvious, but creating a name that sounds to similar to something else in that realm is just not a good idea.
#2: Make it either really abstract, or having an element of what you're doing in it. Microsoft has the word "soft" or software in there. Apple, on the other hand, is completely abstract. Both have been successful.
#3: Make it short. You probably don't want it to be 2 words or having a hyphen in there. Less than 10 characters is preferable.
#4: Make it rememberable. Branding is everything, and generic names like "Beats" and "Apple" have been really successful nowadays. Also, knockoffs of real words are cool too. Think of a bicycle making startup named "Byke".

As for actually coming up with names, I find it actually works best to:
#1 Think about it throughout the day, no matter what you're doing.
and #2 Sleep on it.
#3 Oh, and think about it in the shower too :P

I hope that helped!
Nope.

If that's your goal (which is a good, but again could use a marketing brain), it's pretty easy to make a list of what needs to exist/happen for that goal to succeed. To me, it's hard to argue that "try a radically different way of developing the product/company" should be ANYWHERE on that list, any more than "run a kickstarter campaign for every new feature" should be on Kickstarter's list or "we should outsource all of our product development" should be on oDesk's list. To me, it looks like adding a ton of unnecessary risk, though it certainly does tell a nice "we're eating our own dogfood" story. But, heck-- I've been wrong plenty before.

I love how this article's advice is basically, "Don't listen to the voice in your head that tells you to procrastinate."

Which is just a slightly headier rewording of the original advice which it mocks ala, "Don't procrastinate."
Other issues is for example, how import code into a playground:

and when importing obj-c code https://devforums.apple.com/message/972445#972445 it suddenly can't refer to them.

How much is this about xcode or the language is something I don't know.

The thing is, I'm a avid supported of alternate languages. When everyone use VB, I use FoxPro. When is C, I use Delphi. I get iOS instead of Android, and python instead of php.

But with swift I hit in less than half a hour several crashes & weird behaviour (not just: i don't know how use this lang) that I rarely experiment when use other langs.

But: I still continue with this, because the lang -despite the flaws (no exceptions? why ...? and other stuff) seem enjoyable.
You could do it with two adapters which used different base addresses and ports. Maybe my father used an MGA or Hercules and EGA together.

"It's too early to monetize, but when we do, it will probably be through ads or affiliate programs.

I think that not charging a house take will have a positive effect on the quality of the site. Most sites do have a house take and that creates an incentive for them to be very pushy about driving bets. It's annoying and distracting. It's like being in a real casino!"
context matters. most arithmetic operations are not performed in hot loops or are not performed on large vectors. I think its better to have a default where correctness and error prevention are gained at the cost of speed. When the speed is needed an explicit choice to use an unsafe but faster performing number type would be the prerogative of the programmer. Its important to have both options available, because context matters.
Ask HN: Is there a Python text editor with live updating?
I've been using the Calca app for a week now, and I really like the fact that you can type out your calculations, evaluate them in the text editor itself, go back and change variables and functions and they will be updated automatically. See how it works here: http://calca.io/

However, there are things i'd like to do that would be much easier to do in Python. Does anyone know of a Calca-like Python text editor?
oh! i have to update the readme ;)

actually as i used django framework (which is database agnostic), on my development env i use sqlite3 and on production im using postgresql

so you can pretty much use any database that django supports.

in fact, for a large scale usage postgresql would not be enough... but for using inside a company intranet, with a few users i think it is alright for now
> I'd be interested in hearing non-US perspectives on this.

Finland here. Some people would leave a child in a car when they conduct a short errand, and some people would not, and the latter might frown upon the former. But the law enforcement would never ever get involved. That Salon article is just absurd. A whole new level of American weirdness.

(Then again, we rarely have weather as hot as the more southern countries.)
Except it is not safe to remove your kid from the car - that carries risks of its own. There is no safe option - as the article clearly points out.

In any case - if you wanted to make the safe decision, why did you put your kid in the car in the first place? Don't you realize how dangerous it is to drive on the roads? Ask yourself - which is safer - Your child spending 5 minutes alone in a car with a window cracked open on a cool day - or 5 minutes driving to that place, with oncoming traffic that with the slightest lapse of attention by a driver could have their car crashing into yours in a second.

This is the madness of this whole situation - people have left common sense at the door.
A Formula for Bayesian A/B Testing
No one is advocating eliminating modulo arithmetic - the trapping instructions would be different ops, just like on architectures that already implement this such as MIPS.
In the Netherlands I would not expect any legal consequences or police involvement over leaving a kid in a car in the way described in the article (e.g. window open and only for a few minutes).
I haven't read Cringely before. Is he a trustworthy reporter, or a sensationalist? I will buy his book if he's a sober observer. I just hate these kind of books usually though, because they are often the product of sensationalists looking to make a quick buck.
China Steps Up Attacks on US Tech Firms
Isn't the alternative introducing a thousand difficult-to-debug edge cases that cause your code to produce incorrect output, or crash? I'd rather the default setup be "can be slow sometimes". If you're writing performance-sensitive code where you want to control the overflow behavior, make that an option, but not the default.

In the context of Swift, it would make a lot of sense to me for Int to be a bignum with no built-in limits on range. The common case of looping over a small set of values, computing indexes for UI elements, etc. will fall within the range of machine native integers and remain fast. If you blow out the limits, your code will still work. If you want control/speed, use one of the provided integer types with an explicit width.
It's a nice display, but as others have said it invites attempts to type on the card itself (which doesn't work). It also doesn't scale with increased font sizes; the card remains the same size and text within it wraps or gets cut off.

Right now the Supremes are refusing to admit that it means anything besides having a right to have a gun in your home for self-defense. The "and bear" arms minor detail just might as well not exist.

Militias, which the bare wording of that Florida law wouldn't quite seem to outlaw (presumptively assume it was part of the general post-Reconstruction effort to keep freedmen "in their place"; with the exception of efforts to suppress dueling American gun control got it's start in that), aren't even operationally part of the 2nd Amendment except as a justification for the RKBA part, and that was basically a sop thrown at the Founders who disliked standing armies but couldn't get far with veterans like Washington pointing out the limits of militias.

I can go a lot further in this analysis if you wish, but one of the foundational principles is above, a tension between the militias (safe but less effective), "regulars" (less safe, more effective), and "select militias" (utterly dangerous and not effective except in internal oppression).

Our Founders did not like the idea of select militias at all, the phrase had connotations around the strength of e.g. Communist ... and surprise, surprise, our modern, paramilitary police are very close to that definition. With outsiders like the Federal Marshalls when they pull these sorts of stunts (see also Ruby Ridge) pretty much fitting it to a T.

The other thing to initially look at is the Constitution's provisions for militias. Outlawing them at the state level would negate the rights and duties of the Congress about them ... something in part sidestepped with the creation of the National Guard, which until Heller made the point moot our betters insisted were the militia.

When I was in high school I was a Division I football prospect. I had multiple schools after me: Alabama, Florida, LSU, etc. I really wanted Miami (this was the '80s) but deep down I really wanted to play basketball. I only got a little sniff of DI basketball interest but I went on a football visit to Florida and saw massive guys hitting each other and thought "I'm going to get killed" and never took the football scholarship. I'm a big guy - 6'4", 225, I was pretty close to that size in high school and I was a pretty angry teenager so hitting guys at full speed was in my...well, 'nature'.

So please consider this when I say that those college guys were jacked up on 'roids' and WAAYY too big for me. I didn't take steroids in high school but I was big enough and strong enough (and in truth, angry enough) to play against those kids on 'roids anyway. I knew in college, I wouldn't have been.

I walked away from a certain Division I college scholarship (at the time - I blew out my knee a year later) despite what my coaches were calling a 'no-brainer' to play football. I've NEVER regretted it and each year that has passed since has made me even more glad I did it.
If we go on with your analogy, QA report would look as follows: "Your piece of shit program burned down the whole fucking server farm, you useless assclown! You belong in jail!", where the real bug was maybe a crash. That's not a good, or even acceptable QA report, I'd say.

Look, if you think saying "men are rapists" is not a problem, there's not much to discuss here. Before that point I had my doubts - okay, they're self-righteous hateful hypocrites, but maybe they're right? I DO know there are problems that women face - maybe they know something I don't, and I should try harder and listen to them?

After that I just noped out.

And, BTW, their inability to reflect on their action, admit mistakes and apologize is another huge red flag. (I haven't seen any examples, at least - please let me know if you have any, I'd be very glad to see them)

And FWIW, I didn't downvote you.
On a slight tangent: Baby sitting.

Some people in the UK take an extreme view on age of baby sitters. See this BBC article (in my parenting SE answer) about a woman leaving her 14 year old son in charge of a 3 year old boy for 30 minutes and the trouble that caused. (She should not have accepted the caution. I am surprised that's what the solicitor suggested, and I'm not sure she actually got a solicitor.)
