Buzzfeed, mostly.

The big issue with the title is that it isn't backed up by the article, which takes a softer tone and basically just says "Well, if everyone is a gamer, then nobody will be!".

It's just taunting and taking a tone, possibly to antagonize and pull dumb opponents in to make themselves look bad.
Sure! Let me preempt the thread by sharing a product that most likely did not even get to Mr. Graham's desk:

PyEDA is a Python library for electronic design automation.

PyEDA is another option that we could work on but I had to send the idea over to Mr. Graham's public email address just a few days ago. Since it was not mentioned on our application but briefly talked about (by me and most likely to myself), is PyEDA still a legitimate candidate for this forum?
I was exposed to paper tape for about six months during my first job. I thought it was amazingly cool technology. You could actually read the one's and zero's and enter them by hand if needed into the PDP 11/34's front panel keypad. No head crashes or corrupted sectors. Even if the tape ripped you could reproduce the data.
webtorrent doesn't seem to be getting anywhere. The most important part, client integration, hasn't occurred anywhere, and the author hasn't even pursued it.
If "time is just movement", then it is an emergent property of the universe (and movement, or more generally - change, would be the fundamental property). Still it wouldn't mean that time is just a construct we created, as it would be firmly rooted in the underlying fundamental property (the movement you mentioned).

If on the other hand it is the opposite (and based on the way we experience universe, I'd rather think it is the opposite) - then "movement" would be the emergent property of space and time; and both space and time would be more fundamental properties.

In either case I don't think "illusion" is the right word, as it implies something non-existent or unreal. And even if it is an emergent property, it would still emerge from some more fundamental properties and thus would be quite real.
Uh, days of sleep deprivation + lots of caffeine is recipe for disaster. I have read about people getting heart attacks from that kind of combination if you take it to extremes.

I see this with developers:

The young gun who assumes he understands architectural concepts without reading up on them, and re-invents the wheel (often producing a wheel that's tough to turn).

Then there's the cocky senior who doesn't need the latest and greatest because he already "knows" they do the same thing as his solution from 15 years ago (and when he's fired he can't find work because he's a dinosaur).

I know, I've been guilty of both :D

T-Mobile branded android phones have had Wi-Fi calling for years built in and it's great. I was bummed when I bought my nexus 5 on T-Mobile to find that I couldn't use it. Have looked on xda and it looks fairly complicated to implement this.
I'd argue the opposite about rate limiting - If you can add it in a way that allows 95% of valid use cases to never run into it, but stops broken implementations and bad actors from degrading your service, it's a net win for your clients.

I agree it should expose a lot of information though. There's nothing worse than an opaque rate-limit where you can't even predict how to work around it in your code.
As all of the other discussion here sort of reveals if you read it right, part of the problem is that the phrase "Survival of the fittest" is tautological. It might as well be "Survival of the survivaliest"; those who have the most "surviving" capabilities survive. On its own, that's meaningless, and indeed, it is often treated as a slogan more than science.

You had to add in genes for this to make any sense, an idea that we so thoroughly take for granted now that we can miss it entirely. Unless the organism has some intrinsic characteristics that contribute to its survival, and there's some sort of variation in the resulting children as it passes on the intrinsic characteristics somehow, you don't have anything like evolution. Then you get a non-tautological theory of how things can trend towards increased "survivalness", as you can demonstrate how constantly producing organisms with a spread of "survivalness" and lopping off the bottom can produce changes over time.

I never understood why the ST wasn't more successful - in the 80s these were more or less the same as macs for less than 1/2 (1/3?) the price. Why get a mac plus with 1mb ram for $2500 when an ST with the same amount of ram and higher res (monochrome - like the plus) monitor was $1000?

- `then` doesn't behave much like a promise

- JSON doesn't exist in IE7 without a polyfill

- Since this only supports GET, you could use JSON-P instead if you trust the server

I'm wondering if it's possible to use a sidechain to effectively bind two dissimilar chains together. If that's possible you could use bitcoins to run ethereum contracts and use ether to send money to a bitcoin wallet. Both systems would do well; Bitcoin for its brand recognition for digital finance, Ethereum for its generalized scripting capability.

edit- looks like I found my answer: http://bitcoinmagazine.com/12349/side-chains-challenges-pote...

I think the future will see all of these systems interoperating and we'll no longer be debating popularity.

I'd hesitate at suggesting it only for efficiency in some embedded device that is fast enough, if it sacrificed readability at all.

Yes, I'm saying that I'm ok with the code above assuming that there are no user inputs that can exceed the bounds (though casting away the const is strange, I assume the stdlib is not correctly consted?)
I could still run it. I have a .gnus file that works with my current accounts (all Gmail/Apps accounts).

The problem with Gnus is that nnimap is unbearably slow and quirky in its own ways, and nnmaildir, which you'd ideally use with something like offlineimap to make Gnus work on a local copy for speed, is such a weird non-standard one-off backend that it's really hard to sync back to the server.

At least that was true a couple of years ago when I last made a serious attempt to use it. I think the modern emacs mail approach is probably either notmuch.el or mu4e, whichever interface you prefer.

Cool article it sounds counterintuitive when you're thinking of the term "Global Warming". Unfortunately the majority of people equate "Global Warming" to the Earth becoming "Globally Warmed" which is the opposite of actuality. Global Warming is linked to more extreme weather overall and this article presents an interesting point.

Client libraries.

Release and support good client libraries for popular programming languages.

This is way more important than documenting your API at all.

Nobody likes having to read the gory details of how your API works and having to write a HTTP client around it. And everytime they do, error handling is badly handled, if at all.

People want to start using your service right away. They want to just call one function to do a thing, without having to worry about how it works underneath.

Even if this is not HTTP, think about MySQL. Used everywhere, via tons of different programming languages. Yet virtually no one knows how the protocol ("API") works. And this is completely fine.

Having good client libraries also allows updating the protocol without requiring users to change their apps.

No catch really, This isn't new my friend ran server farms that did this same thing in china and asia. Originally they served as proxy servers for delivering censored content in China but then due to the availability of massive server farms he tested out a service that streamed torrents, even megauploads links, zip files, etc all from a single site. I think it was called PaperBus. Because the farms are in China it was cost effective and could transfer torrents relatively quickly server to server after which it would eventually have many of the files already cached and could continue to serve it up faster.
Across Google products, the UIs seem intent on getting users to reveal and allow themselves to be tracked. Google appears to want to downplay this and get people in the mindset of giving out personal details.

See my other comments, but things like swapping OK/Cancel when a Chrome user attempts to enable DNT fit right into "evil". Really, how does one excuse adding a dark pattern like that? Even though DNT is bad, Google shouldn't resort to trickery to juke the stats.

Edit: A Chrome dev in this thread says this was fixed and just an artifact of how the UI code is in Chrome. Well that makes me look foolish.

I'm not a huge fan of the evil terminology, as it sounds melodramatic and it's easy to dismiss anyone saying "evil" in such contexts. I use it because Google chose that word.

On a less objective point, everytime I use a Google service, I feel icky. It's bad enough that I'm working on the one missing app I want so I can switch to Windows Phone. (MS has problems, but between their internal legal oversight and inability to execute, I don't feel icky with them. Apple is also a choice, but I just really hate the UI and poor development tools.)
This game is awesome tons of fun super easy to play, I would love to see how it was developed step by step.
I think you miss the point of the parent comment, which is that backend language is an implementation detail and generally shouldn't matter to users. You can disagree with that point, it just is a very different point than anything addressed by noting that HN has a Lisp backend.
Reading 0 to 1 by Peter Thiel at the moment. I think we have had too much of uncertainty in the West from economy thinking to social thinking to medicine.

Peter claims in his book that no CEO looks beyond 3 months timeframe running their Company anymore. Why? Because market knows better anyway. Why to plan, when market will determine what the market is going to be? Uncertainty.

Medical: we can't control genes right? They determine everything, so why to care, why to plan?

Social: cultural marxism. Pessimistic culture -- everything is wrong because we are capitalist society. As long as it exists we can't be certain of anything.

If you have debt to gdp ratio of 600%, what do you expect? Flourishing economy? Things will go down south. You are like a six year old pissed of that two and two is four every time. Some things are certain. Like 600% debt to gdp aren't pretty. Not positive. Not uncertain. Fucking shit. OK?

> Chromecast is typically powered by the USB port on the TV, not the wall.

Chromecast is powered by USB, whether that comes from the TV or the wall depends on whether the TV has a free USB port (which requires having a USB port to start with.) I suspect lots of Chromecasts are used with older, pre-USB TVs (the popularity of TV USB ports largely coincides with Smart TVs, and Chromecast adds more to a TV that isn't already a Smart TV.)
I do exactly this with Put.io - (1) get magnet link (2) stream on the browser and (3) push out to chromecast on my TV. No downloading ever.

My understanding of "how is this legal" is the following - the server and server admin has no keys to the data so it would be impossible for them to do DMCA. Put.io has been around for a long time now so I'm pretty sure they've cleared the legal hurdles already.
Since an AI named Mycroft (after M. Holmes) is an essential part of the story "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress", I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned.

Of course, it depended on trinary circuits and Loglan (a logic based programming language), neither of which exist in the form mentioned.

There are some modern attempts to develop an AI. I would argue that Watson is not anything close to Mycroft, in purpose, nor in design.

Re: Why is Node Being Forked? (Or, there is a damn good reason.)
You've got good points, but Ethereum is older than Dogecoin in technicalities only (if that). I think Vitalik Buterin has been working on the concept since November or so of last year, but Dogecoin was out and live in December. Ethereum only had a proof of concept in the early part of this year and won't have a final release until next year.

If Ethereum can release and be everything they say it is, there's plenty of time for a community to build up around it. It is difficult for a community to coalesce around something which isn't running.

The AS/400 is completely different hardware and software. I don't mean that it just a reimplementation of what you are used to, but rather alien to what you are used to. It is designed to be a business system, and an evolution of the System 32/36/38.

I recommend Frank Soltis' books about it, although they are very expensive. For example an earlier edition is http://www.amazon.com/Inside-As-400-Frank-Soltis/dp/18824191...

As an example there is extreme backwards compatibility, pervasive database, single address space (a different meaning of virtual memory than you are used to), sharing, tagged and protected pointers, clustering etc.
Disrupting MS is a big goal of Google's, but that ambition runs far beyond displacing IE. Google, via Chrome (and ChromeOS) and their online services, wants to displace Windows, Office and Exchange. Firefox helped (and still helps) to fend of Microsoft's browser share, but development of Chrome is what Google is using to push browsers towards being able to replace Windows and Office for enterprise customers.
It might as well all end not too bad. It might be that the rest of the world will finish in much worse shape than the US. I keep my options open. Can live in the US, but also can live in EU. Would be nice to be able to stay in HK for a while too.

It's strange that the article hints at genetic differences in caffeine metabolism and sensitivity ("Some people will get edgy from a weak cup of tea. For others, a double espresso is required to get them into the shower in the morning.") but doesn't follow through on the implications. For example, my 23andMe results indicate that I'm a "fast caffeine metabolizer", which is associated with a neutral to slightly lower risk of heart attack due to caffeine consumption, whereas slow caffeine metabolizers have a higher risk. In other words, it's clear that the answer to the question "How Much Caffeine Is Too Much?" is "It depends on your genes."
To be totally fair, Brendan Eich has stated that he was well aware that Lars Bak et al were working on V8 years before Chrome was announced (and Bak's involvement implied the implementation direction that V8 was likely to head towards). I'm sure that knowledge was known elsewhere as well.

The problem with this discussion is inherent in any counterfactual history, as you point out, and the common issue of what appears to be revolutionary to people outside a domain vs merely implementing things people have discussed for years, as the same "revolution" appears to people inside that domain.

The reality is that circa-2008 JS engines were fairly rudimentary, including (or especially) V8, and your average JIT compiler writer at the time would have been less impressed and more compelled to question why this "revolution" hadn't happened years earlier (and several did ask exactly that).

All that said, "Chrome put pressure on other vendors" has been extremely important to the evolution of JS performance, especially with Crankshaft -- I think it's extremely likely that shipping Firefox would still have a tracing JIT today and would be just starting to move past it without Crankshaft having existed -- but Chrome in that slot vs the other major browsers is really not that meaningful a distinction either, as without SpiderMonkey existing, it's likely that V8's major strides forward would have stopped with Crankshaft in 2010. Performance would have continued to improve in either (especially with JSC making big improvements), but I don't think we'd have seen the major architectural changes as often as we have without that pressure. Competition is great.
Quite addictive indeed. Love the gameplay.
I think this is pretty common. In fact, this can happen even if neither browser changes at all. Your profile builds up and your history searches etc. slow down, so you switch browsers and get a clean profile to start with. Repeat. (I'm not saying that that is what you are experiencing, but I think it's a factor for every browser user.)
I would love to see someone quantify the value in this through a tutorial or real world use case. I am Having a little bit of trouble wrapping my head around it.
