Google a bit for adjusting GC settings in idea - stuff like http://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2006/04/configuring-intellij-... (old, but check the comments). I'm not using it anymore, so can't find what I ended up with, but adjusting the startup options made a huge difference 2 years ago.

I think I also went for one of the experimental/less stable concurrent collectors - didn't find any issues in practice.
Really, you are dangerously wrong.

Credit card is one of the most expensive credits available. Economics 101. If you need a loan go to the manager and talk to them, this is cheaper.

"I'd say that at this stage of the game, paying some interest is probably much cheaper than giving up a stake of the business"

Any percentage of zero is zero. If the company goes down, it doesn't matter if you kept 80% or 50% or less, it is worth zero. 100% or zero is zero in the same way. Yes, people have to take care when selling equity, but investors are not only there for the money but also connections and advice.

Conversion Rate Tips: High Traffic, Low Conversions – What's Wrong?
Is there a dead-tree version yet? This is required reading.
I believe your answer is a little emotional considering that I only suggested making three icons a little less bulky. Generally, however, I do share many of your sentiments towards today's UI design.

> A cell phone's screen is not a fashion statement, nor a work of art! It's a tool!

Exactly. And if the 4″ screen just threw all availabe information at you, lacking any visual hierarchy, it wouldn't be a very useful tool. Information design serves a purpose beyond making things look better.

And yes, good information design can mean making things look less slick. Helvetica Ultralight in iOS 7 definitely looks slick. And I guess we both agree that its readability is subpar. It is a very unfortunate UI design trend to value slickness higher than utility.

I don't want to make these icons any less useful, and I certainly don't want to hide them away. As a matter of fact, if Google were planning to do so, I would protest as loudly as you do. I'm not at fault for "everything that's wrong with software and UI design today." I'm just a friend of solid information design.

Ask HN: What can we actually do to protect net neutrality?
I'm not talking about signing petitions, or sending letters to congress or the FCC. I'm talking about real, practical measures that we, the users and content creators, can take to protect network neutrality.

In a world where the majority of expertise lies in the hands of the people who care about an open internet, how can we be content to have the free flow of information held hostage by a handful of multinational corporations?

What collective measures can we take, or are being taken, in order to tip the balance of power away from major providers and into the hands of the end users? How do we build a decentralised telecommunications network?

This. It's so weird when you conclude your mind is having a direct and undeniable influence on your physical wellbeing.

In my case, I can't eat certain foods (I'm still trying to work out which, but it includes chocolate) when I'm stressed. I get severe cramps, bloating, pain and even hot flushes (intense sweating). It happened to me on a train once and people thought I was OD-ing.

And stressed doesn't mean "close to the edge". Just a bit of nerves about something, definitely not enough to keep me up at night, will do the trick.

When the evidence suggested chocolate made me really unwell, but only if I was a bit stressed, it was really hard to accept because it just sounds so weird and implausible.

If you're interested in exploring the consequences of this line of thought, check out the philosopher John Rawls. If you'd like, I can try to summarize what are quite nuanced arguments and conclusions, though you're best of reading his works directly. Michael Sandel (of Harvard fame) is the best living champion of his ideas, and his book "Justice" is thorough and approachable. Sandel also has an EdX course with the same name, and he covers John Rawls towards the end.

Rawls is my favorite philosopher on the topic of social justice, and I can't recommend him highly enough.

"Make me look beautiful.”
This is from 2012. The actual published article is at http://www.nature.com/nmat/journal/v11/n12/full/nmat3430.htm... .

Nor is it ignored by the media. See http://www.rsc.org/chemistryworld/2012/10/magnetic-nanoparti... for example.

This web site also doesn't know what it's talking about. It says "Traditionally this type of natural therapy will be ridiculed", but the therapy pathway described is not natural. It requires "iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles, conjugated with a targeting antibody for death receptor 4 (DR4) of DLD-1 colon cancer cells"

Here's the details of how to get those to bind, from the supplementary materials:

> In order to conjugate DR4 monoclonal antibody (DR4 Ab) to the thiolated MNP, we use the protein A, which binds to the Fc region of antibody through interaction with the heavy chain. First, 0.5 mg of protein A is activated with 0.2 mg of sulpho-SMCC (sulphosuccinimidyl-4-(N-maleimidomethyl)-cyclohexane-1-carboxylate, Pierce) for 30 min. The activated protein A is purified with desalting column (Hitrap desalting, GE Healthcare) and then mixed with 0.5 mg of the thiolated MNPs for 2 h at room temperature. The protein A conjugated MNPs (protein A-MNPs) are magnetically purified with MACS column (Miltenyi Biotech) with 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). And then DR4 Ab is mixed with the protein A-MNPs solution for 1 h at room temperature. The final DR4 Ab conjugated MNPs (Ab-MNPs) are purified with MACS column with 10 mM phosphate buffer.

This falls squarely within the type of solutions that the web site rails against.

It's as if they saw the magic word "magnets" and didn't actually understand what was going on.
One thing I noticed about the Kotlin design and design discussions is that "that wouldn't be auto completable fast" comes up quite often. I had never thought about it before but it makes sense that language design choices can impact the speed of an IDE. I am starting to think that it also makes a lot of sense for language designers to have IDE development experience. I wish they'd hurry up and release a stable Kotlin.

Unlock and Lock your Computer with a Mobile – A small script in Go
An important overall point that the article seems to be highlighting is that, in general (independent of these myths), developers are becoming less and less familiar with what the underlying system is doing. Or perhaps the more correct term is that developers are becoming more 'distant' -- there are more layers of abstraction in the whole system than there have been in the past. At the top, programming languages themselves want to get more abstract to make the process of writing software more efficient and in some ways more automated. At the bottom, hardware needs to use clever design to hide performance limitations that we come up against.

The problem is that sometimes, these abstractions leak. Knowing that what you're seeing is one of those leaks is key to not go down the rabbit hole of, for example, chasing a bug that ends up being caused by a hardware failure (painful experience!). So you have to keep notice of those layers below those you're directly working with; while you don't have to live there, you shouldn't totally ignore their existence.
Is this another minor release disguised as a major release in order make old customers renew the licence?

I say this because I did not notice any major improvements between 12 and 13, but still I had to pay for a new licence.
Certainly they can do better explaining the "design language". Cliches and corporate lingua such as: "... A material metaphor is the unifying theory of a rationalized space and a system of motion. Our material is grounded in tactile reality, inspired by our study of paper and ink, yet open to imagination and magic". Come again?
Are you sure that's the best advice? I can't be certain, but I would advise some stability (get a good job for a while) and then another startup only if that's what the OP wants.

"Never give up" makes a great saying, but it's terrible advice because the scope is completely undefined. Never give up on what? A particular startup idea, the idea of having a successful startup, or perhaps just working in the tech industry? Some things are really good to give up on and move on from.

> With regard to legal documents and accounting and all that, we have an LLC right now, with Quickbooks and a boilerplate operating agreement that I found in a book at Barnes and Nobles. I definitely agree that it is incredibly important to be on top of the legal side of things, but we honestly don't even have the money for that right now.

The main benefit of having shareholders and operating agreements is not in having a piece of paper, but having discussed and agreed on the principles with your co-founders. A boilerplate agreement is entirely useless, unless you all have thoroughly read and understood, and agreed with it.

Instead, I would recommend sitting down with everyone one evening, and coming to a mutual understanding about questions such as:

* How is ownership currently split between co-founders?

* How much do you pay yourselves salary? How should this change in the future depending on revenue or investments?

* Under which conditions would each of you consider selling the business, versus keeping on growing it?

* Who is allowed to purchase stuff with the company account, and when do they have to confirm it with the others?

* If one of the co-founders decides to quit (fantastic job offer, just tired of the startup, etc), what happens to their ownership? Do they keep all of it, lose all of it, or keep and lose some parts depending on time with the startup?

* If one of the co-founders doesn't quit, but just takes a side job, starts ignoring you, or becomes an asshole, are the others allowed to fire them? What are the share ownership outcomes of that?

* Are the owners allowed to sell their shares to outsiders?

* What happens if one of the co-founders dies or becomes disabled and incapable of working? Do their relatives inherit their ownership (this is probably the default!)?

One of the main causes of startup implosion are co-founder fights, and these in turn arise from not having discussed these issues beforehand. It's best to do it before the problems arise, and before there is serious money on the line.

If you have actually debated these questions, you are already ahead of many startup teams. You can also just write them down in plain English on a single sheet of paper with everyone's signatures - that will count as solid evidence if it ever goes to court.

And if you have plenty of cash later on, you can take that sheet to a lawyer to get a "proper" agreement. After all, a lawyer cannot and will not tell you the answers to these questions - they just write up what you have decided in more detail based on local laws.

The article describes some circumstances under which a cell phone can be more precisely located.

> Similarly, if you make an emergency 911 call, your company will use three towers to triangulate your location; if you’re using a smartphone, it will use G.P.S. to pinpoint where you are. If you’re the target of an ongoing investigation and law-enforcement agencies want to track you, they can ask a phone company to “ping” your phone in real time.

The “ping” part caught my attention: this sounds like a method that actively queries the phone in a way that could be detected by the end user. Does anyone know if this is possible to detect? Would, for example, an Android phone allow a developer to write an app that could detect this and notify the user?

If you just stick to the idea of type classes, then yeah, it is simple and abstract, even for constructor classes like Functor and Monad. But the reality of type classes in Haskell is not as simple, I think. Defaulting rules, "deriving", Paterson conditions, instance coherence, functional dependencies, etc.

"The worst thing that could happen to Project Euler is people creating profiles and populating them with answers they didn't come up with, so they can pad their resume or other."

The worst thing that could happen to Project Euler is that it goes offline and doesn't make the questions available. The second worst thing is that it stays online, but doesn't let you know if you've solved the questions.

I was going to add the third worst thing would be for Project Euler to stay online, validate answers, but not add any questions - but, really - there are enough questions now to keep me going for a couple years.

Perhaps you and I look at PE differently, but, I do not care at all how many other people solve, or don't solve questions - beyond giving me some insight into how difficult some questions are, and whether I am missing something obvious.

Solving PE problems is a reward in and of itself - I would never be so douchey as to point to my PE Profile - For one, there is no way of determining how long I took to answer the questions, and, even a scripter of my incredible limited means, can answer most of the questions with enough time and effort.

I think PE is one of the great gifts on the Internet, and, while I think anyone who actually uses a "show answer" tool is being retarded, and both (A) completely missing the point of PE, and (B) robbing themselves of the experience of solving the problems - the only person who is being hurt by that tool, is the person using it, not me.

So - I perhaps agree with you that the feature is a Bad Idea(tm), that does not bring value to it's users, but, at the very least, does not impact me negatively.

* What would have been cool by the author, is that instead of giving answers, would have been to give hints pointing to various algorithm, or mathematical concepts. For example, there might be a question that is trivial to answer if you know (and can implement) Dijkstra's algorithm - and 90%+ of the value of the question can be reaped by reading up about Dijkstra's algorithm, seeing how it applies here, implementing it.

I'd still like to spend an hour or so on my own, but if I run into a wall, simply getting a hint that says, "Dijkstra's algorithm" or "Trémaux's algorithm" would still let me capture most of the value of the question.
Ask HN: Found my stolen camera, but the Police doesn't want to collect it.
Hey, guys,
I had my camera stolen in the middle of February in London. Back at the time, I was looking for it around Ebay and Gumtree for the next couple of months with no success.

On the 5th of June, I thought of searching again on www.stolencamerafinder.com and this time the search returned one result, I was able to track down the individual and now have his Facebook, flickr, 500px and blogspot accounts, with proof that he is in possession (and possibly has stolen) my camera.

Since I couldn't locate him by myself, I've filed a report on the 6th of June and have been emailing and calling patiently several times the Metropolitan Police Department. Unfortunately, even though the case is solved, I have proof of ownership, proof that he's in possession of a stolen property of mine, they are very slow to respond and the 2nd officer, my case has been delegated to, hasn't done anything to collect the camera for about 12-13 days.

I've lost hope in the system, but haven't lost complete hope of recovering my camera, as the guy doesn't seem to be hiding and may or may not have stolen it himself. This is to be proved, but it's a fact, that he's in possession of a stolen property of mine.

Please reply here or to my email whatever-it-takes at live dot com. Thank you!
Just curious: why is there nothing anounced on 99dresses.com about this? Will the business go on after all? Are we in the final days and will it then just suddenly out of the blue shut down?
Right, but visual and interaction design are different activities with different outputs. An interaction design language is more about patterns of flows while visual design language is about style and metaphor. Contort them at your own peril.

For that size of bonus, it's nice to work out the net amount after tax, and hand the employee cash. e.g. if you want to give a 500USD spot bonus, then gross it up to 800 or whatever pre-tax, and hand them 500USD cash in an envelope.
So I guess there are no pictures of woodlouse fossils changing into anything else then (nor of any other animal, for that matter) which is why many PROFESSIONAL SCIENTISTS are opposed to this kind of unsupported nonsense being forcibly taught in our UK schools. For example, most textbooks state that dinosaurs 'evolved' into birds, yet we now know that dinosaurs actually ATE them (because birds lived at the same time, already fully formed). See here, for example:

Thornhill, T., First proof of bird-eating dinosaur has scientists in a flap, www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2064952/Microraptor-First-proof-bird-eating-dinosaur-scientists-flap.html, 23 November 2011.

You are entitled to your opinion, namely that, "it is quite clear that you have no idea what you are writing about" but I have to disagree with your assessment. I know EXACTLY what I am writing about and I have the experience and scientific qualifications to back it up. If you regard my comments, or links, as "misinformation" then you are slighting those PhD scientists who produced the research in the first place - not all of whom are 'Creationists' as you would label them. Science simply follows the evidence wherever it may lead. If you happen to disagree with that evidence (because of your rigid, blinkered, evolutionary/Humanist mindset) that is your prerogative, but please do not insist on our UK schools infecting innocent children's minds with this kind of diabolical nonsense. One thing that is coming out of this tiresome dialogue with you is that all you have going for you is a typical atheistic 'Ya-boo-hiss' invective, while at the same time producing NO scientific evidence WHATSOEVER to support your many bald assertions or to inform other intelligent readers in this debate. I'm sorry, but Darwin's knickers are completely threadbare, and each time you write another a vacuous post, you are simply lifting his skirt higher for all the world to see.
