It's a small-ish "bug" in HN, IMO: there are times when you think something is wrong, and want to downvote it, but ideally would put it at 0, and no lower, because you can tell that it's probably an honest mistake, rather than an attempt to deceive or spread false information.

So people probably think you're wrong.
Suppose some experiment to test gravity was faked does that mean gravity does not exist? Demonstrating an experiment is flawed is useful, but it says little about a theory it simply removes evidence.
Thats what holding me back from upgrading and I have 32gb 4s.

Plus it just doesn't seem that compelling and upgrade.

There aren't as many options anywhere for good engineers as SF. Surely in Bangalore the big firms like Infosys and Wipro are always hiring experienced engineers?

I feel just the same. It feels much more modular than Django's module system.
The CDC's communication to the public about Ebola has been extremely one-sided: they seem to only care about reducing the likelihood of panic, to the point where they spread lies and falsehoods that will eventually cause panic! As the article says, the audacity of saying "At this point there is zero risk of transmission on the flight" is astounding. Expressing such confidence in something that is clearly unknowable (or worse, false) is dangerous.

There's no need to panic unless the authorities continue to downplay the seriousness of the disease, and continue to show their incompetence in handling contagious diseases.

So you're saying making it more expensive to employ people is going to decrease unemployment?

Highfive wants to become the Nest of B2B video conferencing
what's with the recent surge in use of the word 'beautiful' to describe minimal UI elements
The 2 majority founders were swedish and danish, but the 4 Estonian founding engineers had a significant stake from day one. The same team of swede, dane and estonians had developed Kazaa and Joltid together before.
People use that??
Totally. I have a 4S but I did upgrade to iOS 8. I wish I had stuck with iOS7. Everything got pretty sluggish.
Conference calls are notoriously unproductive, and one company wants to fix that with simple videoconferencing. Today, Highfive announced its video collaboration cloud service and purpose-built camera intent on inspiring business users to jump into face-to-face video conferences more often.

Highfive CEO Shan Sinha wants to change this, along with company culture, by replacing conference calls with conference-room-wide video calls integrated with a cloud-based video collaboration application and an integrated camera, speaker, and microphone.

The company has raised $13.4 million from investors such as Salesforce founder and CEO Marc Benioff, Box founder and CEO Aaron Levie, Dropbox founder and CEO Drew Houston, Google Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, and General Catalyst Partner

I can only reiterate that I never complained about the downvote as such.

I encouraged whoever opposed to my comment to take time to put their stance in words.

I do NOT mind being downvoted at all, as long as it is supported by some argument that helps me to improve my comments.

If someone didn't downvote me, but replied with two words: "Not true", my answer would be exactly the same, so it's not about a downvote.

If I failed to make it clear, I am sorry (English is not my first language).
It's been known for a while:

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-2672.2010....
This is the issue. And people have no idea how to effectively clean up space. Scott Hanselman had some relevant tweets about this from around when ios 8 launched. http://twitter.com/shanselman/status/512299554243616768
"I don't understand many of the "very ugly" complaints. Yes, collections have lots of methods. Is this surprising?"

Perhaps "very ugly" refers to method names like "/:". (Example on slide 22. There are many more examples of "very ugly" in that slide, too.)

This reflects on the culture, not the language, but it means in practice you will need to read lots of code with random punctuation used for method and function names. Unless you never use any libraries and never work with other Scala developers who write code like this.
I upgraded an iPad 3 to iOS 8 and I definitely regret it. I don't like how Safari has changed, and it just feels sluggish.
Not the answer to your question but I listen to this show from time to time using Antennapod, which is in the fdroid repository for Android phones. Works pretty well. The podcast is listed in one of the guides (gpodder.net) and is a searchable result or you can add the RSS feed directly from the econtalk site.
Doesn't grass absorb most of the pop, though?
this was sent to everyone who is registered on flipkart, and not only those who bought something yesterday.
I'm not really sure those comparisons are accurate any more. Most developers can target Android >= 4.0 and not worry about exactly which point version users are on.

Coupled with that, things like the browser, maps, e-mail and keyboard are updated through the Play Store now, not through OS updates. Google have done a pretty great job with this.
What I really want in a web framework is for a web framework to solve the common problems so I can write less code unless I'm doing something unusual. In that regard I have been happy with Django. All of the functionality does what you'd expect and nearly everything is overridable in a consistent way when you need to get closer to the 'metal'.
I choose Pyramid for the same reasons. Additionally, through paster I've been able to create custom empty project templates to easily get started on projects.
For real, the SQLite codebase is some of the most well-tested open-source software out there.
At least part of it is that folks like my mom just never attach their phones to their computers and ignore any upgrade notifications on their devices, so they basically never upgrade until their son comes to visit. This applies to me as well -- I have two iPads and frankly it's not really worth the bother. I'll probably upgrade them eventually; there's just no hurry.

Compounding the problem -- since getting the iPhone 6, I've noticed something I've almost never noticed before on an iPhone: lag. There are times where it seems there's a huge (like 1 second) delay between touching the screen and a reaction. This is noticeable when scrolling in safari. For that reason alone I would recommend against upgrading until the problem is resolved.

We've had dynamic OO+FP languages for a very long time but only in the last 10 years have we seen them with static type systems. I really like clojure (though I haven't used it in anger) but I think you're wrong when it comes to complexity.

Complexity with dynamic languages grows with the size of the project. I know that because of the focus on purity & immutable data structures clojure mananges to mitigate this problem but I'm afraid it's still there.

The last few years several features have been added to clojure that increased the complexity(/surface area) of the language and the documentation is often a mess. I'm not a clojure hater, just pointing out that the complexity with clojure lies elsewhere.

edit: kinda forgot about Ocaml (~18 yrs old apparently)
Dopplr went after the conference/business market, and at least in my crowd it had critical mass. That might be because I know the founders...

But it cracked OP's issue of needing daily use so you remember the service. I would check Dopplr to see which of my friends were coming to London -- that's much more frequent than me travelling, to the tune of travel_frequency * friends / cities. It was useful, and I still miss Dopplr today.

Building is not even the most expensive part. Once a nuclear power plant reaches it's end of life each little piece is radioactive and needs to be disposed of with specialised tools. It takes decades to deconstruct a power plant.

The people who try to sell nuclear energy as cheap often forget to factor in that cost.
I have an iPhone 4s and I didn't even want to update to iOS 7 because my brother did, and his phone really slowed down. Since I need to answer calls or take photos fast I really could care-a-less about other features. If my device isn't fast, I lose the moment. iOS 6 forever on this device (baring some big security problem)
It does say "it's free!" but are you planning to charge for different plans or something at some point? I'm naturally reluctant to sign up for something where it's not totally clear what the price is, and I'm sure other people would be.

Think that should be made very clear.
As a non-native English speaker, it feels weird seeing phrases like this. In my opinion, a more appropriate word would be 'elegant'.
My iPad2 runs worse and worse with every new version of iOS. I wish I could go back to 6.
This seems like a smart move, but I am still weary as to where Docker is going to land as a company... (the software is great; don't get me wrong)

Heh ... it is the other mainstream "hot" language.

I was looking for a language to move to post-python. I love python but the 2.7->3 jump has been annoying. More than that, I felt I needed static typing for the next big system I did ... too much pain debugging python.

I looked at Scala since it had the JVM behind it. While the language seems decent, it seems too easy to write unreadable code. Multiple ways of doing the same thing ... yada yada.

Friends at Google had been espousing Go for a long time and I didn't bother. Seemed like a proprietary language with little adoption. Two things changed for me. I got some exposure to erlang via elixir. This made me think about the whole channel concept. Second, I had to read code in Docker (which is awesome). I learned a bit of the language and was surprised how small the language was. Really reminded me of C, which I love. There seems to be more adoption of Go .. e.g. Cloud Foundry and others. I like Go enough that I will be spending more time learning and investing in it.

Just by 2 cents.
You've got to be kidding right? Are you really surprised that an English language site that is sometimes blocked in China and lacks a Chinese language interface doesn't have obviously Chinese contributors? Do you expect a conical hat on the profile pics of all the Chinese contributors? How exactly do you expect to see who's Chinese and who's not on a site like Github?

You can easily check out Chinese language code hosting sites, like

Of course, I'm pretty sure that's not going to convince you of anything.
Linode, Physical hardware issues
Do you honestly think string theory was useful for something? As to experiments I am not suggesting they are the only form of evidence. Finding a new fossil can easily count as evidence in support of a different theory.

Still, coming up with a new theory and suggesting an experiment is IMO far more useful than simply another theory. The point is to avoid doing this: The real name of god is A, no it's AA, no it's AAA...

I might not be explaning this all that well. There is a somewhat recent theory that a lot of exising dinosaur species where not distinct. Rather there bone structures change as they age. In many ways you could argue this is just evaluating evidence differently. However, rather than simply standing alone it suggested examining a range of existing fossils in ways that also supported this theory. Which was then done. The important bit IMO was not stopping at the theory stage.
Hello there,
My name is Bryan, I run a small business in Singapore. Have been using Linode Cloud Services since 2013. In the last 4 months, I have gotten 6 emails regarding physical hardware issues from Linode. Each email it states the following:

Our administrators have detected an issue affecting the physical hardware your Linode resides on. We’re working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible and will update this ticket as soon as we have more information.

The frequency of the disruption is affect my business and the post above shares what exactly happens. I also have some questions in mind that I like to hear your views.

1. There are many independent business owners and startups founders here who are using Linode services too, are you having the facing the same problem with the physical hardware issues?

2. Am I wrong to ask for 2 months compensation? Although the might be "short" but it is frequent. I believe that having frequent disruption is worst than the time that it actually occurs

3. If 2 months is wrong, what is a good compensation to ask for? Or should I just change the vendor (I did not want to change because Linode used to give very good services) until now

Thank you and looking to hear your advice.
On the bright side, the 4S is 3 years old now, so with updates through iOS 7 I'm still doing better than the majority of smartphones.
It never ceases to amaze me how much humanity clings to the feeling that they understand something, even when history tells us that surprises are far more common than predictability. It seems to me that planning for Ebola (or a battle, or climate change, or the economy, or anything vaguely important) wouldn't be something along the lines of "Ok, we know what's going on, no need to freak out or to spend any extra effort" but "Wow, these things go sideways all the time, let's assume our models are limited, in ways we don't even know yet, and throw everything we have at it; even then we will probably be lucky if we dodge a disaster."

I really don't have any more confidence because the CDC has been saying "it will be fine" than I did when the Japanese officials said Fukushima would be fine.

Enough optimism for the morning...
While not really a framework, i've getting used to using webapp and appengine's ndb datastore (yes its an appengine application). The application doesn't serve html, only json (its basically an api).

The our app is build as an ios, android and webapp on top of this api.

It depends on what you're building. And sometimes this approach is not nice. But it works for our usecase.

In conclusion: sometimes your architecture doesn't need a full-fledged webapp framework.
Oh wow, I just assumed those were tied to callbacks instead of just being a showCancelButton arg. The more I look into it the more underwhelmed I become.
At the moment I am using mint-kde on my workstation and I stick to the long support versions because I don't really like to reinstall my system each 9 months (yep I know I can save all there is in my home and the list of installed packages, but I lose all the /etc configuration file and I have a lot of configuration files on it). Of linux mint I love the fact is well supported, there is a community around it almost comparable to that of ubuntu (and you usually can solve problem of mint also looking at solutions based on debian and ubuntu) and all DEs work perfectly if you want to constantly switch.

On servers I usually just run ubuntu lts or debian stable based on the requirements

A question: why you speak about buying a new machine to run linux? If you have a macbook it is perfect for linux, I am waiting to have enough money to buy one with the explicit purpose to run linux on it

Ask HN: Phone interviews during work
Forgive me if this has been asked before.

How do people deal with interviewing when actively working? Phone interviews take 45 mins to an hour and are not always worth taking an entire day off, besides the fact that there could be several. If your employer doesn't like you working from home and you have limited PTOs, what is your solution? Has anyone used Regus business lounges? What about coffee shops? Are they any good?
To be honest I wish I were back on iOS7. They got rid of the all photos (camera roll) view, which was the only way I actually made use of photos.

Terrible decision. Why remove camera roll? It's not exactly a tricky thing to support / leave in. The new way of viewing photos is awful. I have no clue on what date or what location I saved / took that one photo I'm looking for.
Wasn't there something similar that came out in 2012 called Celery? It seems to me Carrot is a little late to the game. Either way, please shut up and take my money.

App Container Firm Docker Acquires Koality
From reading the source code I can say that no, it's not blocking. Although I'm not sure if there is an actual way of achieving that.
8.0.1 got a lot of negative press and scared people who have no idea what they're talking about into not updating. I don't know how many of those "cousin's boss' fiance who works for an Apple certified technician said not to update" posts I saw on Facebook. I imagine if Apple gets 8.1 out with the rumored iPad announcement in a few weeks, it'll all right itself.
I somehow missed the iOS 6 update on my iPad 3. Everything I use still worked fine, so never bothered to update to iOS 7 and now it's very unlikely that I'll upgrade to iOS 8.
I upgraded to iOS 8 on my 4S, and regret it immensely. Sluggish doesn't even begin to describe it. Animations have gone from ~30 fps to maybe 2 or 3 fps. It's almost as if the update disabled the GPU or something, I can't even begin to understand it. A popular game like Subway Surfers is now completely unplayable -- it'll run smoothly for a couple seconds, then freeze for half a second, and bam, you run into a train. It's bizarre.

What really pisses me off is the attitude of app developers to only support the newest version of iOS. I'd upgraded from iOS 6 to 7 simply because I needed HipChat and FourSquare for professional reasons, and both companies had completely dropped support for iOS 6. And then upgraded to iOS 8 because I know the same thing is going to happen again. I don't criticize Apple so much for creating new iOS versions that require greater processor power -- I criticize the app developers which force us to upgrade to OS's our phones can't support. And now I basically need to drop $500 to buy a new phone I shouldn't need, just for my phone's interface to feel even minimally responsive again. Ugh.

Python might not be the fastest player on the block... but the increase in coding productivity will more than pay for extra equiptment to handle and speed-shortcomings.
Here's my quick take on the subject:

- Django: a big framework for simple projects. Batteries included (most). Even better if it's a CMS. ORM is fine if you don't do anything complicated.

- Pyramid: much more flexible, more "pick and choose". Also try http://jinja.pocoo.org/

- Flask: if you need to get web requests and do whatever you want with it.

I regret doing the upgrade too. My 5s has had terribly slow LTE and wifi since the upgrade from 7. I usually have to turn off all the radios with airplane mode for a few moments to get any connectivity back when it slows down. There aren't any new obvious features that make a big difference. Tried keyboards but they all kind of suck so just went back to stock.

If you haven't upgraded, hold off for a while.
I understand what you are saying. However, all of that falls under "don't complain about downvotes." If people have something to say, they will do so. Please don't nag or goad people into replying.
Fair point -- we're still testing, so for now it is free. Our longterm strategy to adopt a pricing model similar to Github; make the platform free for public groups, provide users 1-2 free private groups, and charge users to create additional private groups.

I will make the changes, but I hope that provides some clarity.
You don't need the on board space if you upgrade through iTunes. It's a drag, considering OTA updates have been a big push since iOS 5, but it avoids the issue of trying to clear out 5 GB of space.

Show HN: Langcodes – A Python library for working with language codes
Yeah, paster is awesome, esp since there's so many great skeletons on PyPi already.
The ONLY time it makes sense for me to drop . is for some DSL stuff and some math operator stuff...

But really - this is why you have a style guide. Make your style guide say "Always use . unless a math operator". Then the guy that does

foo map x + y filter < 2 foreach println

gets bonked in the head and told to rewrite it.

You would do the same in Java to the guy who wrote a 600 line method, right? Should the JVM enforce the no 600 line method rule, or can we deal with it in style guides? Because the 1 time I need to write a 900 line method, I am sure glad the JVM doesn't limit me.

It goes beyond that, though. One of Lua's goals is to be implemented in 100% portable C, to the extent that it has no platform-specific #ifdef's (no #ifdef's at all, actually). This means that to use a lot of incredibly basic functionality supported on all relevant operating systems (like, as mentioned in another comment, changing directories), you need (for vanilla lua and luajit on platforms that don't support the ffi) a C library dependency, or a wrapper script (for luajit on the other platforms). This is pretty silly; any user of a platform without a filesystem would surely know that chdir would not be supported.

Beyond that kind of indefensible omission, there is much ecosystem fragmentation and duplicated effort that could be solved by standardizing tools like a package manager without requiring you to install it on embedded targets.
Just a tip, but I don't think you have to do this if you use iTunes to upgrade. I know it's a bummer, but don't let that keep you from upgrading.

I think I had to do it for iOS 7 actually. 16GB ain't what it used to be. :)

One of the examples shows that they have a single callback function:
