The approach we are taking is consolidating a lot of the data that Google Analytics provides you into scores. These are found throughout the dashboard and reports, which give you a gauge to go off of for optimizing. This is opposed to exporting all of the data manually and creating your own algorithms to discover new opportunities and figure out what needs to be tweaked, which we've found people do.

The scores and the way the reports are laid out save you time because of consolidation and at a glance views. We have plans for even more powerful features that allow you to manipulate data even further which Google Analytics is not capable of too.

Thank you for pointing to a much better argument against this than the original link provides.
It's just a supercharger, not a "turbo" anything. A turbo-supercharger is driven by an exhaust turbine. Mechanically driven superchargers for cars go back to 1921, and were widely used on aircraft.

As with most things electrical, the control is better with an electric motor. That seems to be the main advantage here. It's something else the engine control computer can use to optimize the engine.

There's an argument for electric oil pumps, too. You can have full oil pressure before engine start. A sizable portion of engine wear comes during the first few turns when the engine is cold and dry.

IC cars seem to be heading towards a power package where the outputs and auxiliaries are all electrical, like Diesel-electric locomotives.

Well it's not like teachers only stay in their position for a year. The framework could (and should?) keep on monitoring the progress of the students down the way and feed back to the teachers' rating until they graduate. That would also increase peer pressure and collaboration between teachers.
Postfix operators do work. Try this:

let x! = if x == 0 then 1 else x * (x - 1)! end in 5! end

Any operator can be prefix, infix or postfix depending on the relative priority with the operators next to them. For instance, in "1 ^ * 2" the engine interprets ^ as postfix because ^ has higher priority (it just gets null as its right hand side). In "1 * ^ 2", ^ is prefix. Unless specified otherwise operators are given maximal priority, which is why the factorial example works.

The engine just has specific provisions to allow operators in "prefix position" to have different priority than in infix position, otherwise prefix minus would fail to work as expected.

Traffic is atrocious. The driverless, grid-connected cars can't get here soon enough.
The flat fare is only from JFK to Manhattan(source: http://www.nyc.gov/html/tlc/html/passenger/taxicab_rate.shtm...), not to JFK, or to/from LGA, and not to the other boroughs. UberX also comes to my apartment, while a taxi rarely does, and the drivers are typically more patient with me strapping my son's car seat in (or providing one in the case of Uber Family) and even helpful.

As someone who does not live in Manhattan, I can say that I'm far more likely to be able to get an Uber than a taxi outside of Manhattan (although it's a little better now with the Green cabs). And, I've never had an Uber driver keep their doors locked and speed away at rush hour when I told them I was going to Brooklyn. My utilization of taxis in NYC is entirely different than my utilization of UberX.

I don't understand what's so confusing about time.

"but what time really is, is a question that I can't answer for you."

O'Brian almost correctly answers that right off the bat:

"My own personal opinion is that time is a human construct"

Time is a measurement, nothing more. It's not magic, it's not difficult to understand, it's not separate from reality.

It'd be like calculating how long it takes you to walk around your coffee table, and then being confused by what it means or what that measurement consists of.
I would have totally jumped to Inbox but it seems there is no way to mark an email as 'read' without having to actually open it. It's kind of flabbergasting and seems very limiting to me.

It definitely feels like a bit push for 'lock in' (not that gmail really needs that...).

If I am wrong, someone please tell me how to do so from a list view.
Nintendo generally doesn't care in the slightest if their assets are used for things like this. In the US and many other jurisdictions Nintendo might care about this is simply fair use.

This isn't actually JS, it's Processing, so the idea is that this will work in the browser by virtue of a library that will run Processing source code in the browser. If you want to do the programming offline, just hit up processing.org, download the IDE, download the codebase.pde file on the same dir as the tutorial's page, and off you go.

Hey, I wrote the Pivotal Labs podcast and code you mentioned above. While we do use some Clojure(script) in Tracker, it's only used for testing in combination with Test.Check. I personally think that calling that "production" use is a bit of the stretch, but it is certainly an example of useful Clojure usage in the wild!
This is exactly how the API works
Also, from what I hear (I'm not allowed to use it yet), Inbox doesn't let you use labels like labels (multiple labels per message etc), but tries to enforce a "folder-like" view...

[A horrible mistake if it's true... Labels are a significant advantage of gmail over many other email clients.]
well, close to. Processing is based on Java, but has a simplified syntax, different visibility model, and different scoping rules. Primarily due to how pde source code gets aggregated into a single class which can be compiled to run in the JVM, but because it's not actually Java any non-JVM implementation of a Procesing runner can pretty much ignore Java entirely and simply implement the much simpler Processing interpretation.
You wouldn't likely use multiple data stores for the same data. That is, you probably wouldn't have a single system which stores data in both Redis and MySQL.

However, you can imagine different use cases for each of these stores and you can potentially increase operational efficiency by having a common layer which handles the distribution of data for each store.

e.g., an index fund of the NYSE. Well, follow the
link I gave to AVC.com and Fred Wilson's table of
data there and have to conclude that on average information technology
venture capital, and, thus, nearly necessarily
also Silicon Valley, doesn't work very well.

Lockheed's Kelly Johnson walked in with a pile
of papers and proposed a new plane, fly
at 80,000+ feet, at Mach 3+, for 2000+ miles
without refueling, and essentially impossible
to shoot down. The project was approved;
the plane flew as planned; and we got the pictures.

So, Kelly had a very ambitious start-up,
and delivered as planned, with the project
approved from work essentially just on paper.

Such work can be done. Other cases include the
F-117, GPS, passive sonar, Keyhole (essentially
a Hubble but before Hubble and aimed at
earth instead of space).

It really is possible to do accurate evaluations
of ambitious projects just on paper and, then,
go forward with a quite high batting average.
And this fact does partly respond to your point.

Well, NSF, NIH, DARPA, CIA, DoE, etc. can work
this way, but Silicon Valley just flatly refuses to.
Instead, they want another SnapChat with
traction and f'get about anything more,
and that means that they can't do the really
valuable projects. And that's why, on average, they don't make the big bucks.
I know it isn't comparable, but honestly, the next big thing in fuel efficiency is an electric engine. Why improve the combustion engine if you can skip the middle man, so to speak.

Just a semi-unrelated comment:

The Fibonacci code example classically has a horrid runtime. Will like likely crash your browser when supplied a number higher than the low thirties. IIRC it has a O(2^n) runtime and can be improved either by a bottom up approach (non-recursive) or a "dynamic-programming" (OOohhhh, buzzwords) method where you use memoization (memo table) to store (or memoize) results.
> This is different.

Is it? Sounds like a side-by-side Aurora with a toolbar button for DevTools. No separate feature set AFAICT, but you tell me if I'm wrong.
The fact you don't like his comment doesn't make it "worst kind of comment". Nothing was essentially wrong about what he said. Maybe kinda harsh, I don't know and don't really care: it's plain stupid to favor fanciness of speaking to correctness of facts delivered.

In turn, there were wrong, imprecise and misleading statements in that article, which does make it bad to some degree. It's not the worst of it's kind, but still pretty bad. Actually I would consider it harmful, to write something that is easy to pick up for uneducated people, that gives them impression that they understand it while giving them wrong impression about the subject, that is, being misleading. I'm not sure I could appreciate that even if it was impossible to write easy-to-understand useful quasi-scientific articles/books, but as I've seen them I must conclude it's not impossible, so that makes people writing misleading stuff with attractive headlines even more guilty.

Your comment in it's turn contains nothing, but claiming somebodies comment is "worst" based only on that being not populistic enough. I would say it makes your comment "the worst kind of comment and what is wrong with Hacker News".

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "clunky"? I haven't noticed any issues adding or editing events, in either OS X or iOS's Calendar apps.

Also note that Yosemite added event suggestions when adding new events to the OS X Calendar app (but I don't believe iOS added anything like that for the iOS app). I haven't had a chance to experiment with it yet (since I primarily do event entry in iOS), but it looks pretty straightforward.

I think the distribution of ride lengths might partially have something to do with the nature of cab hails in NYC vs. other cities. I travel a lot, and in most cities, uber is my go-to cab service, because I don't know the local cab system, I might have to call multiple companies, I can't street hail in a lot of places, etc.

However, in NYC, it's often faster to street hail a yellow cab for short trips than it is to wait for an uber. So here, I mostly use uber for long trips (airports, midtown to the financial district, brooklyn, etc.) or for time-sensitive situations.
But then you'd have three problems...

It's still being designed, but we're unlikely to do anything that would require a double dereference or synchronization on each access -- that would be a lot og overhead. We'll likely seek a way to keep accesses fast by doing more work at heap resizing time, since heap resizing ought to be infrequent.

You already mention GPS later in your comment, so it isn't that necessary, but I want to emphasize anyway: we are not only "dealing with", we are "making use of" it. Things we use every day would be impossible, if we wouldn't have precise enough clock to measure all that stuff already.
Switching goroutines is much lighter than switching OS threads. When this "toy" and "hack" becomes as heavy or slow and thus no more useful than OS threads, then you can make a point. As I see it, you aren't making a point right now, just explaining what OS threads do and calling goroutines names. So let me point in the direction of an explanation of what goroutines do: http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~aho/cs6998/reports/12-12-11_Desh...

As a once and future car nut, the idea of electric superchargers have been around for a while. What I'd like to see is how an electric supercharger is better than a mechanical supercharger other than more fine grained control over the motor.

For the non motor heads:

Turbo: exhaust spins a compressor which shoves more air into the engine producing more power.

Supercharger: a pulley running off the engines main drive spins a compressor which shoves more air into the engine producing more power.

Electric Supercharger: electricity powers a compressor which shoves more air into the engine, producing more power.

One of the main reasons electric superchargers haven't really caught on is that power to spin the supercharger has to come from the alternator which itself derives its power from the engine. So in essence, a mechanical supercharger does the same job but it cuts out the alternator as the middle man. Granted, I tend to think in terms of what will generate the most HP and torque for the least cost so suppose with the right programming and fine tuning the ECM and the electric supercharger, one could achieve excellent fuel mileage which seems to be their goal.
The Manual[0] contains an intro that isn't particularly compelling. It contains things like:

phony "clean" $ do
putNormal "Cleaning files in _build"
removeFilesAfter "_build" ["//*"]

Which would be the make equivalent:

clean:
rm _build/*

Now that's obviously the trivial example. But its not trivial to drop make entirely for something entirely different. A make solution can slowly get more complicated over time. It looks like shake might be useful for something really big. I can't quite tell where the investment of learning a new tool and re-develop something(that works well enough) would pay off.

There is a huge distribution network of gas stations, refineries, and (right now) fairly cheap oil. I'd like to own a 100% electric vehicle right now for the price of a Prius (with similar range, cold weather capabilities, comfort, space, etc), but I'm not sure if that's possible yet.

I see no problem with making gas/diesel engines more and more efficient until they are replaced by cheaper electric cars.

> Apple's design sensibility gets more and more questionable

What do you mean by this? With iOS 7, there was a big outcry, because they changed the aesthetics of the OS pretty significantly, but that was a one-time event (and also highly subjective). But this is the first time I've heard anyone imply that Apple is trending towards having worse design. If anything, with the removal of skeuomorphism, Apple's design is more consistent than ever.

> google appears to be finally paying due respect to good design and really putting the work in.

My impression upon watching the video was that it looks very much like a 3rd-party iOS app. I am glad to see Google putting effort into their design. Although I don't agree with all of their choices (for example, I think the "Schedule View" image really is kind of awful, because it adds a lot of visual clutter and inconsistency, making it harder to scan the information quickly).

What Are Foundations For? (2013)
Anecdotally, the Northwest has been complaining about people from CA moving up and "ruining the place" for decades. (see: "Californians driving up our housing costs", "Californians don't know how to drive", etc. I grew up in the Seattle suburbs, and it was a common refrain in the 80s and 90s, and I'm sure it goes back at least to the 1962 World's Fair, if not the early days of Boeing.

Also anecdotally, I moved to the Bay Area, my parents moved (back) to SoCal after 40 years in the Northwest grey. Plus, I have 4 dot-com era friends who have moved from the Seattle tech boom to the Bay Area tech boom, all in their late 20s/early 30s (so not just-out-of-college types), and I know a few others who are considering the same. And I don't know a soul from here who moved north, except for people who came down here for college and then returned home.

I guess it's like they say, "the plural of anecdote is not 'data'".
