I'd gladly work an 11 hour day at a company that provided food if two of those hours were meals (lunch and dinner) and another hour was time spent in the gym/playing games. That's 8 hours of work, and three hours of free recreation that would have cost me a non-trivial sum of money elsewhere. I just wouldn't want that to be expected.
For those who can accept ant+ivy, I feel this is a stab in the right direction for console apps: https://github.com/djeikyb/simple-console-app

The script target creates a runnable shell script that has the jar and all dependencies embedded. The last step might be using packr[0] to also embed the java runtime.

Absolutely. There is a lot of moderate talent on the ground.
Indeed. Proximity facilitates our communication and judgement faculties in a way that is hard to replicate online (although it is a very interesting problem to contemplate). Is it possible to replicate the experience of following a professor out of a classroom and getting a summer research position from the ensuing conversation? The subtle cues and trust-building of both direct and group conversation? Video chat helps, but it's not the same. One small aspect: it seems easier to "turn off" a digital interaction.

A minor correction: POSIX only mandates CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC is optional (POSIX Advanced Realtime Extensions). Linux provides both as well as CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW, and some BSD like FreeBSD provide CLOCK_MONOTONIC_PRECISE.

Fair enough. Even some of the newer APIs feel slopped together to be honest. Android development does feel like a constant battle with framework bugs.

Any company providing you multiple meals per day for free is getting the better end of the bargain. Make no mistake about it. It's an arbitrage between the cost of cooking labor + cooking material vs. your labor.

In other words, you're getting the short end of the stick. People do not value perks rationally. If they did, they would deny every last one of them.
Okay, this could be interesting. I'm especially interested in how good the performance will be compared to Dalvik.
Ask HN:Feedback on telephone survey builder
Hello Friends,

I built an online telephone survey builder which supports multiple language. I am seeking some critical feedback or comments on the product.

Kindly take a look at it below:

Yeah, it's happen again and again.

I love AirBnB as a customer, used it a few times and have a great experience with it... but I would be worried if somebody rent apartment next to me without they presence at all...

... on the other hand how would you enforce non-subletting policies? Likely only some high-end biometrics access could do that, but that won't happen any time soon in vast majority of the places.
If you think college teachers should be well paid, it means you think college education is worth a lot. If you think it's worth a lot, then it means it is expensive. If it is expensive, it makes sense that lots of people can't afford it. You can't pay teachers a lot if you have them teach poor people. Otherwise where is the money supposed to come from?

> The perks are free

Haha.

That's cute.
Yeah, I agree. I thought this was an article about someone claiming SSL is boring. BoringSSL makes it much clearer that its referring to something with that name.
Oh, I wasn't talking about variable names, those are certainly the fastest to read and communicate the complexities of a domain. I was talking about programming languages that require 3-4x the code/boilerplate to write the same logic. For example, F# usually needs roughly half the lines and way less than half the characters than the equivalent C# code, assuming all the same variable and function names. Other examples are Scala, Haskell, Clojure, Go, or even lambdas and the Linq features of C#. I've heard others argue we shouldn't use these because "jr members won't understand them".

Usually the person arguing this position is not junior, and does not know the feature or language now. Which leads me to believe it has nothing to do with junior members at all, and everything to do with them.

Edit: I also think that writing down to the least skilled member is disrespectful to them and you. It's pandering to treat them as too ignorant or stupid to learn powerful concepts, no matter who they are. I also think most people who make this argument disregard the sheer cliff wall of difficulty that is modern software development. The difference in difficulty between an entire C# stack with inheritance, interfaces, threads, polymorphism, and mutable class state and all that plus lambdas is really minor.
Having lived in a BK building where at least 25% (4 out of 16) of the tenants rented out their apt. on AirBnB with regular frequency, I can't wait for this to be addressed once and for all...

Strangers with keys to the front door, easily copied because our landlord didn't invest in secure locks. Strangers coming home at 3am on a weekday (Mo-We), inebriated, slamming the doors waking us up and the kid as well, quite often with more raucous strangers in tow for a night cap. Strangers picked up in a bar of our 'gentrifying' hood, who left at 5am after knocking back more beers and/or some boots.

I paid rent, for the joy of living in a virtual dorm, they collected monies while affecting my quality of life and safety. The lease specifically forbade short-term subletting. We lived in that place for 13 years, 10 without problems, but the last 3 at times unbearable because of these "good friends from Europe".

When we moved, our friendly neighbors across the hall, avowed AirBnB hosts (they came clean), suggested that we renew our lease one more year (rent stabilized) and put our apt. on AirBnB "as a source of income". They would happily "manage" our AirBnB listing (key transfer, cleaning) for a piece of the pie. We declined, we liked our other neighbors too much...

With reports from Berlin, San Francisco and other cities showcasing how AirBnB has affected availability of apt's and is one of the main drivers of rising rents ( eg see http://www.sfchronicle.com/business/item/airbnb-san-francisc... and http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Europe/2013/1230/Berlin-squee... ) it's about time something is done about this.

Let's stop calling them social sharing companies, and just rename them "loopholes", who make money by assisting others in breaking the law, violating the terms of their lease, and enabling tax evasion whilst denying any type of responsibility for "sharing" my quality of life to pieces...

Glad regulation is in the pipeline. Private home owners who reside in their own houses, share away, but keep AirBnB out of apt. buildings.

I think there's also much to be said about the "standard" way of teaching typing, which I find to be excessively constraining and inefficient [1]. Instead of forcing a strict "one key, one finger" correspondence, it's better to teach where the keys are, and to encourage the use of as many fingers as possible. It's also not explicitly taught, but the skill of breaking up sequences of letters so that you're typing complete words and common pieces of words (e.g. "ing") is also very important. Fast, fluent typing comes from being able to quickly know which keys to hit for a given word - which finger exactly to use matters only tangentially. I've seen people type 100+ wpm with only 2 fingers on each hand, but they know which keys to hit, and know where the next key they need to hit is.

"In the Beginning was the Command Line", annotated
Now working in an Ubuntu VM, since I know the tools better than I do XCode. I reduced TRIALS to 20, to reduce testing time. I also replaced summation with xor. My current code is here: http://pastebin.com/QcNu2A69

Here is what I see with default optimization:

jao@minizack:/tmp$ gcc -std=c99 x.c
jao@minizack:/tmp$ ./a.out
INTERNAL time/scan (usec): 29608.000000	xor: 1722783152
EXTERNAL UNSORTED time/scan (usec): 26688.105263	xor: 1722783152
EXTERNAL SORTED time/scan (usec): 279771.105263	xor: 1722783152
SORTED/UNSORTED: 10.482989

and with -O3:

jao@minizack:/tmp$ gcc -std=c99 -O3 x.c
jao@minizack:/tmp$ ./a.out
INTERNAL time/scan (usec): 3636.421053	xor: 1722783152
EXTERNAL UNSORTED time/scan (usec): 12114.263158	xor: 1722783152
EXTERNAL SORTED time/scan (usec): 242141.263158	xor: 1722783152
SORTED/UNSORTED: 19.988113

The INTERNAL time is 8x faster. EXTERNAL UNSORTED is 2x faster. EXTERNAL SORTED hasn't sped up much at all. My conclusions:

- With -O3, the difference between INTERNAL (#1) and EXTERNAL UNSORTED (#2) is close to what you are seeing.

- Loops cannot be optimized away in this version.

- The fact that -O3 speeds up EXTERNAL UNSORTED by 2x but EXTERNAL SORTED only a little makes sense if the latter is slow due to cache misses.

All that time in front of a keyboard since kindergarten, and you're output is still restricted by your abysmal typing speed?

You mean, "all that time in front of a keyboard - and mouse." GUIs and mouses (and now, touch screens) have made computer interaction largely keyboardless - most people would rather push the rodent around or touch the screen than make use of keyboard shortcuts, and interfaces are designed in that direction so it's not so surprising that people aren't learning how to type faster despite increased computer use.
In other words, you're getting the short end of the stick. People do not value perks rationally. If they did, they would deny every last one of them.

How many people value anything rationally? Ever?

As humans we are programmed to be pain averse. I hate foraging for and/or cooking my food. I consider it an utter waste of my time and breath. Yes, I care about my health, but don't have the money to pay an arm and a leg for a personal chef, or even plan meals. In short, I want to eat well (tasty+healthy), but without any direct effort on my part. That is the pain I am averse to. If a company can remove that pain, for me it is a fair exchange, even if in a most superficial manner.

Give and Take. Plus, no exchange in life is perfectly equivalent. Is it?

I've seen both sides of the story - both successful and unsuccessful. Following are some points that distinguish between the two:

1. Keyword research: understand the search volume and competition level for each target keyword before you start your campaigns. Having an estimate of CPC before you start is critical to right planning. If you operate in an industry where search volumes are less and/or competition is high, you should perhaps not depend on search engine are your primary traffic source.

2. Contextual relevancy of keywords: the more relevant the keyword is, the lesser price you pay as you drive more CTR. Google charges lower CPC for higher CTR ads. SEO directly helps SEM.

3. Catchy headlines, good description: ad making is an art. Even text ads. Test multiple copies for each keyword group and see which one does best. See if having FREE in the heading helps, try adding phone number, etc. Again higher CTR implies lower CPC.
His point is that without the system of patents, inventors would never reveal anything to the public.

Yes. I worked for a university briefly as a staff member. Our university sung far and wide about how it just raised $400 million for its endowment in its most recent fundraising campaign, and yet, it couldn't afford to pay me more than a $25,000 salary in the IT department. How on earth is this possible? It's probably in all the unseen costs they pay out in contracts to subcontractors. But another clue might be this: during the time of my employment, there were several ongoing, large construction projects.

Universities are obsessed with the rankings of US News. And for some reason, they feel that campus renewal and renovation construction projects are the secret to mastering them. So instead of paying a decent wage to the people who actually comprise the "college experience" for their students, they pay outsized amounts to further improve their already glittering campus so that it looks better on the 15 minute admissions tour that prospective students take.

Somewhere the priorities are out of whack. I think if universities stopped spending so much money gaming the rankings, they might realize that paying their staff more and paying their faculty more would translate into a better, more involved college experience for their students. And that, in turn, would make their students evangelize to other prospective students about how much they love their college...

Improve the product, not the marketing.
When you're compiling CPython, it's neatly broken into little bite-sized chunks (.c files), each of which has all the type-annotations and such that the compiler needs to produce efficient code.

When you're compiling PyPy, it basically has to load the entire Python interpreter structure into memory so it can do its various analyses and annotations, so compiling PyPy takes a long time. I think for a while it was excluded from certain Linux distros because their package-build-farm machines wouldn't handle it.
I just don't want to have yet another console to worry about hooking up.

Terminate which lease? Let's say I rent an apartment from landlord A. We are cool. Now tenant B rents the apartment next door from landlord C, and promptly lists it on Airbnb.

I am not a party to the contract between B and C, so can't do anything to terminate that lease. My landlord A hasn't done anything to breach our contract, so I have no grounds to terminate that. So I'm SOL.
Nest's demand response program is called Rush Hour Rewards. They have a good explanation of it on their website [1], but they claim that customers can opt out at any time, customers receive rewards through their electricity supplier.

From what I can gather from tweets by participating customers, they do it because it's cool and exciting not because of the financial rewards.

tl;dr = Generation 1 builds wealth from scratch, Gen 2 is inspired by the raw dedication of the first, but Gen 3 never meets Gen 1 and feels entitled and lazy and squanders everything.

I haven't really investigated this theory in detail. But it agrees with my anecdotal experience and has a lot of explanatory power.
As a counterpoint, I would point to how far we have been able to scale classical computers (over almost a century of work). We have gotten to the point where we are pushing up against fairly fundamental limitations of the physics (speed of light, quantum effects, ETC).

Given enough time, we will (through incremental improvements) refine quantum computers towards their theoretical limits. We will likely see practical applications long before we reach these limitations.
And that's a strawman.

Let me ask you, as a rational, profit-seeking individual or organization looking to secure revenue from your new invention in a patent-free society. Do you:

a. Volunteer the details of your invention to your competitors?

b. Keep these details secret?

I'd look into the home-owner association's by-laws that usually regulate renting activity in the building.
They can't, because then everyone would opt out. Professional landlords keep up on what's going on in their business as much as any other group of people - you don't think they have sites and mailing lists? - and renting isn't a business you can be careless about, because bad things really do happen to property.

So AirBnB pretty much has to do the wink-nudge thing, where they officially forbid 90% of transactions, but let them happen anyway.
They already have via their leases which prohibit subletting.

Airbnb will naturally drive up rents in places where it’s being used. If a tenant has the capacity to pay (e.g.) $2000 for an apartment, but now can get an additional (e.g.) $300 a month, the tenant’s capacity to pay is now $2300.

A savvy landlord or condo association would want to capture this. Because it’s new, it’s seen as a disturbance. A little bit of thinking would reveal that there is now $XXX new money coming in the door (due to better utilization of the property).

It’s in the owners’ ultimate interest to figure out how to either a) accommodate this explicitly and safely, and capture some of the new revenue or b) prohibit it because the tenants prefer it, but know that the price of a “non-shared” building will carry a premium.

One way a condo association might adopt the idea is to point out that Airbnb’ers $$ might be used for building upgrades or to reduce condo fees.
