The process of building our intelligent error alerting system
When your SaasS startup's product can be implemented as a clojure macro, you probably need to expand your goals a bit.
So, there's a lot of good reasons why nobody runs shell servers anymore. One reason is that the FBI may one day knock on your door with a letter that says they're going to need access to all your user's accounts, and that you can't tell them or anyone else, and if you do you're going to jail for a felony. If you're lucky you'll be able to tell your users about 6 months later. Other things that happen is you become a spam, DDoS and CnC host, and you end up spending the great majority of your time preventing 1% of your users from ruining the internet. And of course the inevitable takedown notices for pirated or illegal material.

Good luck...

True, though there are many other application domains where nonfunctional (i.e. non-"domain") requirements are at least as important as the domain modeling itself.

Search at Google, scaling at Twitter, any chip that powers your car's airbag, ...

So game programming is not a different animal, it's just one of the domains where performance is a lot more relevant than for more mundane domains.
While I agree with you that it would definitely help their sales by selling it themselves vs. the blue shirts. I can't seem to think they will only sell Amazon products. Not to say they will sell substitutes of their products as well, I think it would be a missed opportunity to stock it only with Kindles, and Fire Phones. It would be surprising to me at least, if their main objective with this store front was to increase sales of their products alone. I could envision them being a big box in the future with stores around the US. They've already got a lot of warehouses to back something of that caliber up.

Seven Startups You Probably Haven't Heard of – But Should
Thanks for the feedback. As for the daily downloads - as you said - we'd have to compete with AppFigures.

As for seeing the interface - did you see the demo? ( http://www.appcodes.com/demologin/ ). Not trying to make a sale here, just curious.

Thanks for the feedback regarding the front page. Can you be a bit more specific here? What seems too messy for you? (btw. e-mail support@appcodes.com if you'd like a free account as a "thank you")
This is terrific. I'd love a description of what the interpreter is actually doing at each step, perhaps optionally sent to the console. This could be a wonderful tool for teaching how JavaScript works.
Has anyone documented how to convert a 3.x config to 4.x config yet? The documentation on the site assumes a level of understanding of the internal workings I don't have.

I'm still running 3.x because they broke a bunch of stuff. I discovered this when I updated a couple of dev boxes and varnish stopped working.
This is probably the most endearingly fascinating project I've ever read about on the internet. Just a guy saying, "Hey, let's do something simple and fun, maybe people will like it." I can't pinpoint why it seems like so much fun, but I'm glad it's around.

Kafka by the Shore. It is very different from Wind-Up Bird even though there are cats in it.

I recommend trying Wind-Up again. The first ~100 pages are difficult to get through at times (the narrator is infuriatingly apathetic), but one you get past that, it's an incredible page turner. I liked Kafka a lot, but Wind-Up is his masterpiece.
It's a good point, but investing more than a certain % of your assets (roughly proportional to your perceived edge) in any one thing, is a bad idea.
No, you shouldn't, because I'm your target audience: Techy but not interested in sound per se, which means I can do things to make it work but I am not going to undertake heroic measures to get JACK to do a fraction of what Pulseaudio does out of the box, for example.

You're just biased against Pulseaudio. There's no other explanation for it. You can't accept that Pulseaudio is a better out-of-the-box experience, and that that matters.

Not sure I want to develop on an OS that automatically applies updates - keeping a stable environment is important. I would fear that some dependency could change and break what I'm working on without notice.
EDIT: Fat clients

This is where Apple's and Google's respective computing strategies start showing their strengths and weaknesses. Apple has put a lot of effort into creating the best "fat" client platforms around. From iOS to Mac OS X, the majority of the functionality exists at the endpoint, augmented by optional cloud services with fairly narrowly-scoped purposes.

By contrast, Google delivers an end-user experience by pushing their platform closer to end users. Google operates on the basis that the network is cheap (RIP Sun, "The network is the computer"), and that it can economize by providing functionality at the data center.

I'd argue that Google reflects a more modern way of thinking, and that Apple's approach is somewhat anachronistic. However, as far as surveillance goes, Apple is perhaps at an advantage. All things equal, it's easier to attack a few datacenters than to individually attack millions of reasonably secure endpoints.

This is doubly true when we consider business models of the two companies. In order for Google to monetize your information, it needs to see your information in some sense. That makes Apple's business model of mostly doing cost recovery through device sales even more beneficial in a surveillance-averse world.

EDIT 2: If Apple wanted to be proactive about divesting Google from some of its monetizable data collection, it would extend something like iMessage encryption to Apple users on Gmail. Send email from Apple's client to another iDevice user over gmail? Give them the option of encrypting it. Don't let Google peek in.

[eps] is also so far from zero that it can be represented quite accurately with a floating-point number

What is missing from your claim is where you say, "Specifically, the delta between pi and its float-point approximation is greater than half the minimum representable float." This is almost certainly true of pi, but it is NOT true of all real numbers! 1+(1e-1000), for example, fails this test. You cannot – logically! – make the claim that the error of any close approximations of real numbers should not round to zero because the error is not small enough; clearly in many cases it is!

Yes, dividing by 1e-16 is not a problem! My question is whether this is a desirable thing to do in an algorithm that should be stable.

Floating point arithmetic cares about relative errors much much more than absolute.

This hints more at a reason, but why is this true? Yes, I know floating-point numbers are spaced logarithmically, and yes, relative error is obviously the correct measure when dealing with multiplication and division. But if you are not dividing due to stability concerns, so your value eventually finds its way to an addition, isn't absolute error more important?
Nothing against Chrome extensions, but I have yet to see an messaging application that competes with Pidgin. It's simple, beautiful, and perfect at what it does.

Unfortunately, Google doesn't permit Pidgin to use its current protocols. So while XMPP still works great for one-on-one chat, my group messages relegated to the Hangouts app. (As are video and voice, but that's much more understandable.) Which is odd, since XMPP supports multi-user chat.

I really like Hangouts for video chats, but I wish they'd allow me to outsource all text-based messaging to Pidgin. It's just a more elegant solution... and Google would still reap all the advertising information they can glean from my messages anyway.
Yeah, finger only works locally.
The article is correct. double(pi) is exactly 884279719003555/281474976710656, which is a perfectly valid number to apply the sin function to. sin(884279719003555/281474976710656) is a transcendental number close to 1.2246467991473532e-16. In fact, that is the closest 64-bit float value to the true value of sin(884279719003555/281474976710656) and thus the best answer that the sin function can give. There is no way to ask the sin(double x) function what the sine of the transcendental number π is since the argument must be a double and there's no double value for π. Since the sin function is not in the business of guessing which of the uncountably many real numbers you really wanted to take the sine of, it can only give you the best answer for the value you actually passed it.

For this argument, the Pentium flaw is not the best example. As long as all CPUs were equally flawed, everything was fine, if you define 'fine' as 'we see the same results on all systems'.

I guess Excel will have the problem in some cases for rare CPUs. For 'common' ones, I expect that Excel contains workaround for errata that might affect its computations.

Interesting. I actually ended up not using react-async, because we were trying to manage all the data at the top level, but I'm not entirely convinced that's the way to go (at least not for every app).

I just started playing around with react pretty recently, and it definitely seems like people's opinions about how to structure things have shifted pretty quickly.
Interesting stuff, thanks. Too bad about the safety trouble.

>A pure function does not read or write any mutable data that is not accessible via the function's arguments [but it can read/write mutable data pointed to by its arguments]

That's not a particularly strong or interesting definition of purity. It just means you can't have mutable globals. That is not really powerful or helpful in any way that I can see.

I feel like this is a bit of a disingenuous (or perhaps just misunderstanding) attempt to latch onto a buzzword from the functional programming realm that means something almost completely different. Purity has a much stronger definition than "don't mutate global variables". See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure_function

There are circuits that can survive high voltages, but they are rare. You can buy power transistors (BJTs) which can handle 400V (VCE). The base can't take high voltages but it's simple to protect with a resistor.

Main aim of this tool is to create complex queries in a bottom-up approach. Say you want to create a query by joining 5 tables. Even though we declare 5 tables in the FROM clause, database will join 2 at a time. And then join another table with the previous result set. So this tool helps to build query similar to execution plan tree structure.

No idea - whatever we did, we never managed to move apps' positions one way or another.

I've also seen apps that have few downloads, few rankings and lousy reviews, but get positioned higher than competitors that are more popular and have better rankings. Although popularity seems to have some influence.

What I'm telling people is to see if they rank high. If they do - keep the words/phrases. If they don't - forget them, and look for some other ones.
Ask HN: My app makes around $30,000 per year. Would anyone like to buy it?
I've created a mobile app that is currently earning around $30,000 per year. $15,000 of that is from recurring subscriptions (either monthly or yearly subscriptions).

I'm interested in branching out into other areas, and the app is growing too big for one person to manage. Most of the revenue is on Android right now - the iOS counterpart does not make very much in comparison (maybe $500 per month). The app should also be taken to the web as well, but I don't have the resources to build the webapp right now.

It's a small business focused app with a large userbase already. I currently have around $15,000 per year in subscriptions that are expected to renew for 2015. Around $850 per month come from monthly subscriptions, while around $400 per month come from new yearly subscribers. There is also a one-time purchase option that is more expensive, which earns around $13,000 per year.

If anyone is interested in purchasing, I can share App Annie statistics on both Android and iOS. I'm looking to move quickly on a sale to help out with some personal finances. It's hard to sell it, but I think it will allow me to focus on other areas a bit better.
Yes, I usually set up Nginx just to listen to port 443 and forward to Varnish on the same machine. You could do the same with HaProxy.

It is not as bad it seems since using Nginx to terminate SSL and forward is just a really simple config file. If you have a lot of cached resources then the path is mostly Nginx -> Varnish. Varnish is probably over 100 times faster than Rails at serving anything cacheable.
Like I said, I respect that using the word "primary" is contentious. If that's your only true point, then there's little argument to be had other than a subjective nature of what I consider primary. If your argument extends past that, about the term "Constitutional right" itself, then, again, you'd be wrong to imply that "rights and rules" derived from Constitutional interpretation aren't Constitutional rights. That's not judicial wordplay. It's common language.

Example:

----------------------------

"What to Say to Invoke the Right to Silence

The new Supreme Court decision raises weighty questions, such as whether it’s reasonable to place the onus of asserting constitutional rights on everyday people, most of whom have never cracked the spine of a criminal procedure or constitutional law book. The more practical question is what, exactly, an out-of-custody person must say to inquisitive police officers in order to claim the right to silence. To be safe, they should make clear that they are invoking their Fifth Amendment right to silence and have nothing further to say. That way their subsequent failure to answer any questions cannot be mentioned at trial."

by: Micah Schwartzbach

http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/when-how-invoke-your-...

----------------------------

This writer uses the term "constitutional rights" in context. He later says, "...invoking their Fifth Amendment right to silence..." (i.e. "... invoking their Constitutional right to silence...") in direct context. I won't dig up numerous other examples from lawyers who write about this subject in-depth. Court rulings continually change the landscape of rights. They change what's inherently so-called "Constitutional" at any point in time. Many issues become topics of people's Constitutional rights once they're challenged on the basis of the Constitution. This is irrespective of a changing landscape's rulings at any point in time.

Outside of that language, we may agree more than we disagree.

FWIW I'm not sure I agree that it's getting harder (though sure, consolidation is a challenge). That said, for the moment let's concede that it is and I'll argue that's fine.

Harder isn't a bad thing. For the last decade in healthcare we've had a small array of large players with strong footholds and really shitty projects, and a huge array of small players with small footholds and really shitty products.

Harder means you have to do a very good job to win, which will probably lower the noise floor among the $NOTBIGCORP crowd and may make that road for growth even more plausible for folks doing something really excellent.

Ahh, now I remember why these kinds of websites died out.

It's exciting a lot like Minecraft, in that we can make our own little worlds. We exercised both sides of the brain by learning how to write HTML and maybe some Perl, all while writing actual content.

But just like Minecraft, that world is isolated and lonely. Nobody visited our sites, that's why we stopped updating them. They were inherently isolated from the beginning.

So we built social networks to replace them. We have new places to go to share our random thoughts. Places where it's slightly more likely they'll be seen by someone.
