The fully-loaded cost of a full-time Rails programmer is, let's say, $15k per month.

An Amazon m3.large with 7.5GB of RAM and a 32GB SSD costs $64 per month if I reserve a year in advance. (And why wouldn't I, given that the proposed alternative is to buy hardware?)

If I wave the magic wand and save 30% on the cost of each m3.large, I save $19 per month per instance.

If my company runs the equivalent of twenty m3.large instances per programmer, 24 hours a day, for a whole year, my magic-wand-powered savings will add up to six additional programmer workdays - about $4600 per programmer. If I start out on January 1 with a year of runway, I'll go broke on January 9 of next year instead of January 1.

So, even if I were to believe in the existence of magic wands, they wouldn't make much of a difference.
If you put the Israeli pilots in the MIGs and the Middle Eastern pilots in the F-15s, the result would probably not change. Hardware is sexy but sexy doesn't win battles.

Detours on your career path: how to weigh risks and opportunities
Genius (YC S11) is Hiring
We just raised $40 million from some top VCs, and we're looking to expand our world-class engineering team. Now is a rare moment for us: we have a huge amount of traction and funding, but we’re still a tiny team, and there's still a ton to figure out. (“What’s past is prologue...”)

This makes it a best-of-both-worlds–type situation for anyone who joins now: you’ll get to work with great people on a massive project, you'll get paid well, but you’ll also be instrumental in building the future of the product and team.

We're looking to hire anyone talented, though experience with any of the following is particularly desirable:

- iOS

- Android

- Rails

- Frontend development with an eye for design

We offer the most generous compensation of any tech company in NYC. Our office is in Brooklyn, NY, and we’re looking to hire full-time in-house (i.e., no remote). Check out more about the people you'll work with here: http://genius.com/jobs

If you interview and we offer you a job, we’ll pay you $1,000 cash regardless of whether you accept the offer.

If you're interested, hit up jobs@genius.com with your info: cool stuff you’ve built, your “online presence” (github, blog, website, etc., the more the merrier), your resume, and so on.
Yeah, bookmarking makes some sense, and is probably more useful than saving the page itself which, I agree, is almost entirely useless. To be honest, if it comes to it, I'd rather have no mapping at all for a shortcut whose standard command is out-of-place for a given app, than overload a shortcut that has a single specific meaning in every other.

Hi Friends, please share feedback about the concept and site
I don't think you know what privacy means and I'm not defending Eric Schmidt here.

Getting busted for drunk driving, with a news story as a side effect - that's public information, not private. And if indeed you prove your innocence with a blood test, you can always ask the newspaper to retract their story or sue for defamation. But again, getting caught drunk while driving, that's public information, not private, so privacy doesn't enter the picture.

Just to be clear, lets try some samples:

PUBLIC: a picture with you drunk done by somebody else

PRIVATE: a selfie with you drunk that's stored on your laptop or DropBox or GDrive

PUBLIC: a record of you being at a Starbucks at 12:00 this Monday

PRIVATE: your track record of where you've been hanging out every day at 12:00 in the last month

PUBLIC: your face

PRIVATE: your social security number

PUBLIC: your sexual orientation

PRIVATE: your sexual orientation

Can you spot any differences? As a hint - privacy is the right to protect private information about yourself, but it's definitely not the right to hide information that's already public.

Of course, I can see the rationale behind the "Right to be Forgotten". I could agree with it. Except for the fact that I live in a country in which corruption is a problem - and this right will be used for censoring acts of corruption and I have a problem with this.
Pasting into a buffer in insert mode is not the best idea. I've remapped <leader>p and <leader>P to paste from the system buffer and it's just as fast as yanking and putting text in Vim.

Honestly, animated GIF (like all other image formats) is a terrible format for video-style stuff. It's fine for line art (well, sort of fine, anyways), but if you actually using it for video you really should be using <video>, because it takes into account temporal information. (gfycat is a service based around this already.)

It might be possible to do an APNG-style backwards-compatible animated JPEG, but it'll still be worse at it than video formats will be.
Haha, like catching one at First Point Malibu!
Why you made this?

Uranium will simply not run out. The "10 years" figure stems entirely from misunderstanding what the word "reserve" means in mining.

Also, there is 3-4 times more natural thorium than natural uranium. Of natural uranium only 0.7% is U-235, which is useful in a traditional reactor. Breeders can use all of it. Thorium reactors are all breeders. Assuming only resources extractable at current market prices, using uranium breeders the reserves would last ~1400 years and the thorium reserves would last ~5k years.

Modern laptops have been adequate for most tasks for quite some time (T61 ftw, personally). On the other hand, if you are CPU/GPU/RAM limited (eg rendering..), then you will still greatly benefit from the additional power a desktop build will bring. And it's refreshing to see the continuing progress of stats, while laptops have seemingly stagnated (6 cores and 64GiB RAM? Nifty!).

OP, I think you have a ways to go to match the utility of pcpartpicker. But if you want a possible leg-up on them, then look into supporting workstation builds with Xeon/Cxxx/ECC (they don't really cost more than comparable "consumer" builds, and if you value stability more than overclocking, they make a lot of sense). Niches can be powerful.
Been using this for a little over a year now and I can honestly say it's become almost a dependency for me. It really is amazing being able to order something and most of the time have it arrive within 3-5 hours or worst case scenario the next morning. I can ship things to work or my home (for free currently), etc. I'm guessing I may hold back on it when they start charging as I could do things like Instacart for quicker service, but at free delivery it is amazing.
Isn't AltGr the usual key to get alternate characters instead of Alt which is for keyboard shortcuts? I've never seen a program mapping shortcuts to AltGr.

First of all, good job.

Secondly, do you have any plans to put the project to practical use? Or is it a research/tinkering project?
DConf 2014 Keynote: High Performance Code Using D by Walter Bright
While he's doing that, could you go back a slide for just a second? I didn't get what those numbers meant.
Cool! Some humble UI suggestions:

- I don't really need to see big pictures of everything (except the case and peripherals). It's kind of visually noisy, and it doesn't help me make any decisions. Maybe just a small thumbnail would suffice.

- It'd be nice to be able to instantly visually compare the most important traits of each component. For example, for SSDs, I'd like to see Price, Size, and Speed. If you just had a bar for each of those things, I'd be able to instantly see the tradeoffs I'm making. The hover-over info is nice too, it's good to see if I'm trading price for durability, or some other less common metric. Maybe this kind of info could replace the big images?

Why PHP? I would argue that in this day and age, that is a bad decision. There are simply better, lighter weight languages to use that will get you going faster and cause less problems down the road. Maybe not you personally if you're a PHP wizard, but certainly the industry in average. I'd recommend you skate to where the puck is going. :)

Unlock Your Database and Create a Business Intelligence Radar in One Move
Nice. One comment - I think it's not always showing the 'best' options in the initial 3.

e.g.

1 - Select Advanced

2 - the two processor options shown are (+11% cost, +13% perf) and (+7% cost, +3%perf). If I expand "more options", I can see a (+9 %cost, +16%perf) in there which is preumably superior to either of the two shown.

But this is awesome - please keep it going and improving it :-)
Agreed.

It would be nice if for each tier there were an Intel option and an AMD option ... and an ATi and nVidia option.
Until you've demonstrated programming has some biological basis, this 'argument' is absolutely ridiculous.
I would agree with most of this except for the establishment of the technocracy. I do not think Mao or the gang of four wanted to establish a technocracy. That is a bit different from the aim of the cultural revolution, which was hostile towards the academic class and the Western style of academia (Bach was targeted just as Confucious and Mengzi).

A side product of the revolution and the departure of the Gang of Four, together with Mao's death, led to a power vacuum. This was filled a few years later when Deng Xiaoping and his supporters gained prominence. Deng Xiaoping was the true technocrat, and his reaction against the cultural revolution is what paved the way for today's technocracy. Now the question of whether Deng Xiaoping is spinning faster in his grave than Mao is open for debate.
Thanks! On the GitHub page, there is a link to the app in Google Play [1] and this is where the screenshots can be found. I'm quite sure the app is not really beautiful (yet), so it was an intentional decision not to put up screenshots on the GitHub page which would impair the first impression ;)

> You seem to be arguing that government intervention is what caused this mess, so more government intervention is not the answer.

People always say that, but I don't agree with it. Yes, the government caused the mess, but that doesn't mean they can't fix it. When I break someone's website with bad code, no one says "well, you caused this problem with code, more code is obviously not the answer so get the hell out." I iterate, fix the bugs and improve my solution. Why shouldn't government regulation get the same approach?

read the rest of your comment... we're arguing the same side. Sorry. I'll let my comment stand though.
The most daunting part of building a custom computer is usually validation of the component quality and, more importantly, how they'll wind up working together.

A rating / review of component selection by power-users is all that's missing here for me.

Beyond that this is brilliant and simple - I'm surprised that NewEgg doesn't offer something like this.
Thanks for saying this! Then I would say, keep this style if it impacts on the quality of HN community.

After reading comments implying that this is Bill's fault,
here is how I'm guessing this played out. I could be wrong, but I've seen it before.

Bill says "Why isn't Ctrl+F mapped to forward?"

Developer hears "Bill wants this mapped to Ctrl+F. I'd better it do it or I'm fired."

Bill means "Please map this to forward, unless there is a really good reason otherwise, in which case I expect you not map it to forward, but tell me the reason why not."
Those that have grown up with mobile phones view the world differently than the older generation. I'm old enough that I only use my phone when I'm with others to mute it. So, I have a hard time understanding those younger than me. Maybe this crowd can help answer my questions.

When we break bread together, why do you respond to texts/mails? Did you know that it sends a message to whoever you are with that you don't respect their time or just as bad that you'd rather be talking with someone else?

I've often seen a clump of friends hanging around, at a mall, or in a pub, yet none are talking to each other. Instead the group is almost entirely on their phones. Please explain what's going on.

Have you tried http://pcpartpicker.com/ ?

I used it for my last build. You can select a variety of different vendors, browse parts compare prices, etc. It does a pretty good job doing the compatibility checks for you as well (I can do them myself, but my heart just wasn't in it this time, so it was handy).

I basically assembled my build with pcpartpicker, selected newegg, amazon and microcenter, then bundled it all up and ordered it. The microcenter one was neat because they actually found the processor I wanted at a local microcenter, for in store pickup, at a hundred bucks cheaper than anywhere else (not a technically crazy hurdle, but really convenient and pleasantly surprising).

Wondering how it compares to the site linked (I haven't looked through it yet; they could be totally different, but I'm going to check it out in a sec)
The F-15 is 42 years old, and yet its still being built, still being upgraded, still being sold and still kicking ass. Same with the Mig-29 and Su-27 which are still the mainstay of the Russian forces until the PAK-FA moves into mass production, same situation than the F-15 if you consider the state of the F-22 and F-35 programs right now.

Boeing is even building an upgraded F-15 with stealth, and many would-be buyers of the F-35 like South Korea are now considering that 42 year old plane over the brand new model.

The countries you name actually DO have an aerospace industry, you should've googled that before. Iran in particular had to create one after the embargo.
Looks good, I'll be putting together a lab computer pretty soon, and will give this a shot for comparing possible configurations.

You're absolutely not obliged to offer any relo to a programmer, any more than a Denny's is obliged to offer relo to a fry cook. This is completely within your rights. I truly mean it. You'll lose out on some candidates, but you may gain in other ways, and if the trade-off is worth it to you, that's absolutely your call.

My problem with employers isn't that they want to hire an unusually skilled person at what they've decided is "market rate", with no relocation. Or that they want to subject candidates to interviews amounting to intense all day (at times, multi-day) oral exam on undergraduate CS coursework, or that they don't want to hire anyone over 35.

What gets me peeved is when, after doing all this and discovering that they can't hire, they go to congress with claims of a "shortage", and congress actually believes it. This "shortage" is absolutely a self-inflicted wound, an outcome of all those things I described above. Software employers are not offering jobs that are competitive with what other industries are offering talented people. If that changes, you'll get your candidates. If not? Why on earth should the gov't create special programs to allow tech companies to bestow residency on workers (under conditions that limit the worker's personal freedom)? They can hire any of the 1.2 million immigrants who come to the US as free citizens able to choose their own path in life, just like in any other segment of the economy.

If an employer accepts this, then I have absolutely no problem with whatever salary they want to offer. If they can hire, hey, well done. If they can't, well, talented people are in demand, in software and elsewhere, that's how it goes.

If you downvoted, feel free to share your opinion on why this is wrong. I could care less about the votes, I want to hear your discussion! Why would you use PHP?

Here's an excerpt from a Facebook engineer explaining why we still use PHP: "The reason Facebook hasn't migrated away from PHP is because it has incumbent inertia (it's what's there) and Facebook's engineers have managed to work around many of its flaws through a combination of patches at all levels of the stack and excellent internal discipline via code convention and style - the worst attributes of the language are avoided and coding style is rigidly enforced through a fairly tight culture of code review"
I'm doubt its copyright infringement - more likely there's some kind of technology transfer language in the agreement.
