Well I never used it after Microsoft put it through their software "enterprizer." I seem to remember reading a product announcement when they released it, and understood that they had nerfed it pretty badly.

Awesome! It's wonderful to see these kind of side projects for deliberate practice.

I also expect to build some of these at http://ai-maker.com/

Thanks for sharing it and congratulations!
Ask HN: Charging for amount of code versus charging an hourly rate
I have been doing some freelance work for a year or so now. I charge an hourly rate, but recently I started wondering if anyone charges their clients based on the amount of code. What are the benefits and drawbacks of charging for amount of code produced?
Damn, <3 ur landing page. clean and short. Btw just took a look at your developer docs.. Do you guys have web hooks into support messages? Would really help my current project
Good writeup, I experienced all of this working from home for about 4 years. I was living on the US west coast working for a company on the east coast, so I worked a pretty early schedule, but there's really nothing like being done with your day at 1:30-2:30pm.

A few months back I got a new job where I work in the office, and the commute is hands-down the worst part. Second worst is the loss of privacy - I mean just think how much nicer it is to use your own bathroom than a public one. All in all, however, I think remote and in the office is a mixed bag, I don't think one is clearly better than the other. There is something to be said for being in a physical place with smart people, interacting in meatspace, having lunch together, etc.

One thing rarely noted when discussing this issue: when you work in the office, your employer pays for the office space. When you work from home, you pay for it. You will probably want a bigger or more nicely-appointed place since you're going to be there basically all the time. You will pay for that. Another thing, if you're at a place where very few people are remote, you will be seen as having "lucked out" or having it easier than others. That perception can bite you.
Ah... a couple nitpicks there. First, Roberts did almost all of the initial Star Citizen pitch prototype development himself, with some assistance from CryTek employees. While most of his current time is more on the vision/direction side, I've read a number of discussion posts indicating he's still hands-on in the code when he gets a chance.

Also, he's VERY involved in the design aspects. CIG recently published a breakdown of their ship design and development process. There's three or four major stages, and every one has "approval from Chris Roberts" as a gate at the end.

So, while he's certainly not writing a majority of the code like he might have in the past, I'd definitely disagree with the phrase "not involved in development".
Fantastic! I was just guessing and didn't
know someone had already done it!

Thanks!

Hospitals can be a pretty dangerous place. You're a braver person than I if you're willing to treat a likely benign and possibly asymptomatic meningioma without fully investigating the lesion, including rate of progression.
Interesting sidenote: People seem to disagree whether it's Adrenocortico-tropic or -trophic, with -tropic being the more common (200k vs 500k results).
I was interested myself, so I did a little google-foo.

So Ben Noorddhuis was a major contributor to NodeJS and a volunteer (that is, not a Joyent employee). It turns out Ben rejected a pull request that would have made pronoun in the document gender neutral. The documents were already grammatically correct, but whoever made the pull request had a political preference for using a non masculine pronoun. Ben rightly saw this a trivial change. But the political harpies made an issue of it. Joyent put an embarrassing and immature blog posting which essentially called Ben an "Asshole" and said that if he was an employee he'd be fired.

Ben, on the other hand, handled himself quite well.

You are right. If impoverished areas aren't counted the US actually ranks quite high in education compared to other countries. Its inequality that stems from the historical precedents you mention that determine outcomes.
He shouldn't be allowed to express political views during the trial. It isn't a valid defense because his political views are completely unrelated to the matters at hand. The only purpose of the trial is to determine whether or not he did the things the government says he did. If he did them, then he broke existing laws.
XenServer 6.5 released by Citrix
Most notable changes are:

* 64 bit dom0 freed us from the limitations of dreaded Linux low memory, but also allows us to use modern drivers and work better with modern servers. From personal experience, when I took alpha.2 and installed it on some of my test Dell servers, it automatically detected my hardware RAID without my having to jump through any driver disk hoops. That was huge for me.
* The move to a 3.10 kernel from kernel.org meant that we were out of the business of having a completely custom kernel and corresponding patch queue. Upstream is goodness.
* The move to the Xen Project hypervisor 4.4 meant that we're now consuming the most stable version of the core hypervisor available to us.
* We've updated to an ovs 2.10 virtual switch giving us improved network stability when the virtual switch is under serious pressure. While we introduced the ovs way back in December of 2010, there remained cases where the legacy Linux bridge worked best. With Creedence, those situations should be very few and far between
* A thread per vif model was introduced to better ensure network hogs didn't impact adjacent VM performance
* Network datapath optimizations allow us to drive line rate for 10Gbps NICs, and we're doing pretty well with 40Gbps NICs.
* Storage was improved through an update to tapdisk3, and Felipe did a fantastic job of engaging with the community to provide performance details. Overall we've seen very significant improvements in aggregate disk throughput, and when you're virtualizing it's the aggregate which matters more than the single VM case.
I find it odd that this plan for "fixing innovation" doesn't mention anything about patent reform.
This is great news, thanks DO!
I don't think High-Frequency and Investment Banks are following the rules. Until caught.
Soyuz can dock to deserted stations, or at least could in the past. They had to do it all the time with the Salyut stations, and I suspect it is how the first docking with the ISS went down as well.

Technically there is berthing and there is docking. Berthing requires that both sides cooperate, but docking doesn't necessarily require this. However while docking both sides are very nearly always under control (with the deserted side under robotic control).
wow lots of codeschoolers here :) didnt realize the support was by reamaze.
Sure, we know. We must work to improve the product and build its reputation, which should not be made of promises but of facts. Surely it will take time to have full confidence by our users.
So this is like a facebook app? Or you can use it independently without facebook?
> Minecraft declaring freemium servers to be illegal

Yes, the dark ages, where developers look to protect their consumers (which in this case are often children!) from money-sucking leeches.

The Minecraft mod scene is thriving and massive and Mojang hasn't tried to stop it at all.
Snowden didn't disrupt anything. We have always known that the NSA spies on electronic communications and interferes with encryption standards.

A lot of the time, it's not the specific artifact that is disruptive, but it's the vision behind it. The iPhone is Unix on a phone. Qt had that years before Apple. Apple actually shipped, and added freedom from the carriers' horrible user experience.

Ensure and Shakeology and Slimfast and Garden of Life have been around forever, but Rob is interested in Soylent being a complete replacement for your normal, everyday nutrition. He's not just resting on his laurels, having an obviously desirable product, but he's continuing to work on improving it, and he inspired a community to join him. Soylent is not big enough to disrupt the food industry yet, but if he succeeds, then it will.
Because then you would be traveling north east? That is, I think the point is you are looking at a compass when you are headed north west. (That make sense? Or am I otherwise just off?)
I can't access the home page www.wordsapi.com; there seems to be an infinite redirect loop between http and https protocols; does anyone else have this problem?
So it's useless without V8. I mean I can install Chrome or an Awesomium app onto server and it will also run JavaScript on server (via V8).
Drawback would be what happens to all the code that gets scrapped along the way? Do you charge for it even though it never makes it into production?
or may be he doesn't like fixing friend and family computers, so claims to be non-technical.
I've had stomach trouble my whole life. It was a Big Deal for my uninsured parents to get me Zantac. It involved a script from a specialist and paying out the inflated cost at the pharmacy. This was done for my safety, afterall, the industry and doctors were worried about risk, right? I'm just a dumb patient. What could I know compared to the experts, right?

Zantac can now be gotten OTC for next to nothing. Its completely safe. There was no patient risk for this drug. Same when I had to ask a doctor for Claritin. It also is safe as an OTC drug now. Meanwhile, we have research that shows that even a slight overdose of acetaminophen can seriously damage your liver.

The whole system is about maximizing profits for healthcare. It has very little to do with outcomes or patient safety. This is why so many people aren't getting the care they need. The industry is too busy creating "make work" for profits.
What made you draw the conclusion that this is anything like Meteor?
I don't understand why you think it makes code hard to read. In what situation would a code base use fooBar and foo_bar as two different identifiers meaning two completely different things? The idea behind this "style insensitivity" is that amyAtePizza has the same meaning as amy_ate_pizza. Why should it be distinguished in a programming language?
And this is why I hope I never end up on trial for anything. Some types of people are more easy to dislike than others. For example, I have asperger's. I'm pretty certain that if I ever went on trial for anything, my personality would increase the chances that I get convicted.
Not sure why one would need a work specific social network. Work != social, at least for me. I've never shared anything or wanted to on my fb with my work colleagues.

As the internet increases parity in education globally, immigration reform will become even more important for the US to retain its edge, as people born outside the US will comprise a larger percentage of the world's best entrepreneurs.

As an immigrant trying to fix education, #1 (fix education) and #3 (education reform) ring especially true for me, but it's also fascinating to think how closely-tied the two are.
I usually don't look at profiles on HN, but seems when I do it's worth it. Visited your website and I'm impressed and really love what you are doing there. I truly believe if more people would go back (or in my view, forward) to such lifestyle or similar the world would be a better place in general. Me and my wife have been tinkering with ideas like this for a couple of years now but really didn't have the time to start (still rebuilding the house which came with the land). Seeing things like this definitely works as extra motivation.
> Things don't really work that way.

Have you worked with Docker in production? Managing tens of thousands of running containers isn't what I call "plug and play", and orchestration tools like Mesos don't make it as simple as people would like to believe.

I will admit great strides are being made, but all this handwaving that we're at some sort of "great push forward" is pretty laughable if you look at the history of computing.
The counterpoint to what you say is that the evidence comes from personal documents/conversations/etc. they obtained, and if they released some of that but not all -- in order to avoid publicly releasing any murder-for-hire bits -- you would be here saying that the selective release is suspicious and that they should release everything in order to avoid damaging his reputation through cherry-picking evidence.

I know it's not really a competitor, but I would love to see Facebook (or anyone else) eat LinkedIn's lunch.

So sick of their awful practices.
That's pure engineering practice for results. I like the way you think.
It's very unlikely that you'd be a target in any such rampage... unless you keep complaining like this.
TIL phragmites is an invasive species. An incredibly fun and useful plant, right up there with day lily (also invasive and hardy). Kudzu is beautiful but incredibly destructive.

That's weirdly appropriate in a society where adults pretend to be children and use words like "poop" regularly.
Minecraft's price has increased slowly as the game got more and more stuff, and the pace of improvements and additions has increased significantly over time.

Minecraft today is $27 (and totally worth every penny and then some), but this is very much not what Minecraft cost 2 years ago. The alpha version was €9.95 and the beta was €14.95.

So no this is not at all what happened with Minecraft.
I'm not a huge fan of this style, feels like I don't get a good view of all the necessities. They probably need to do some rearranging of assets. Just my $.2.

I don't think you are being realistic. It is a significant additional effort that other languages typically free you from. Not a big problem though, we can write our own tools.
The trouble is that some mobile ISPs compress images (as I found to my surprise). I know it should be sacrosanct, but you can't rely on the same bytes coming out the other end. I think OCR would be more robust.

Otherwise you're potentially ruling out mobile users.
This is completely different than meteor.
Meteor is for making realtime web applications, this is for making desktop applications by leverage existing web technology (html/css/js).
Well, the points of the dial are unlabelled, so maybe it is.
That doesn't make any sense.

What if you've spent 8 hours thinking/planning your code and you came up with the solution that takes only 10 lines of code?
Good thing that pronouns aren't nouns. I can't figure out if it would be "I Ied" or "I ied" when I use "I" as a verb in the past tense.

Though "God" is a noun, so is it "God Godded" or "God godded"? Oddly, I see those as having two different meanings, so it must be "God Godded".

And is "Bull Run" conjugated in the past as "Bull Runned" or "Bull Ran"?

This language, she is not so easy.
Newbie Codeschooler here! Let's hijack this thread :)
Here we go again on the immigration thing. Very disappointing. It's as simple as this: If you increase supply to meet a demand, then prices will go down. That benefits businesses and, in turn, VCs.

Two things, specifically, irritate me about Paul's and Sam's argument in favor of immigration reform.

1. It's stated with this phony "non-discrimination" angle. "How dare you xenophobes deny others the right to come into the country and compete for jobs?" My (and others') opposition to immigration reform is based on a desire to stop the ever-progressing tilt of power and leverage towards businesses and away from labor. To suggest that we are scared of competition (or worse) is offensive.

2. The idea that there aren't enough engineers to go around is simply not true. I know several capable engineers (myself included) who have struggled to find work because companies (a) want you in a tech hub already (b) seem unwilling to train someone from 90% to 100% to do the job and (c) want to pay as little as possible. It feels lazy. "We really don't want to relocate and train folks, so let's just change the immigration laws."

Angular emanated some 'project smells' that have kept me at arms length. The size of the codebase was very large compared to alternatives. Lots of add-on solutions for various problems (ng-this, ng-that) kept cropping up. Articles explaining how to do X or Y in Angular indicated things were probably not as simple as they ought to be. And, it was mainly driven by Google as opposed to a small core team of diverse individuals. The tools that have turned out to be the best in my experience have often had one visionary lead developer, a BDFL-type champion. I expect Angular to appeal more to enterprises, while the early adopters and lean startups shift towards small libraries and microframeworks. I think web components will become more and more important, and that we'll begin to see more libraries to assist specifically with data persistence and synchronization between the client and server.
Trigger warnings are a form of censorship because it makes it much more expensive to talk about certain tropics (mentally) because you have to take sides (whoes concerns are worth putting a trigger warning on?) and because you weaken society to accept that other peoples actions are your responsibility - in effect you are saying that the terrorist actions are in some small part justified.

Ha ha, no shit. My wife had her thyroid removed last year. You don't even notice the scar unless you look really close, and she was back to work 1 week after surgery. The part that takes the longest is getting the thyroid pills dialed into the proper dosage; the surgery is fast with a quick recovery. Robots are not needed for this.

There was a recent article saying the biggest factor for successful surgery is the quantity the surgeon has performed. In this case he had done thousands, and did plastic surgery too (hence a minimal scar).

would recommend remote working for someone who has 2 years+ experience?
It is production ready. It isn't without its quirks (specially Xcode support) but been using it for a while and works fine for production apps.

As jefflinwood mentioned, most likely they don't have the developers proficient in Swift and just want to downplay it. For me this is a red flag for the company.
Yes. And I wouldn't compare Joyent with Oracle.
The thing is that in order to use that /label/ you need to write logic to handle it in your code, ultimately you end up implementing schema, the only difference is that you enforce it in your application.
This label becomes not much different than a column in database that is nullable.

Now things become more hairy when you realize that perhaps you want to keep more information about the actor so for example you want to change details.actor to details.actor.name. You will have two choices, either run through your database and modify all documents (which is something similar to RDBMS is doing) or write code to handle both cases. The second one seems easier, but as you'll have more changes it'll come back and bite you hard.

Later in the future you might realize that by repeating details about actor for every single movie you simply not only wasting a lot of resources (your database is bigger and slower) but also this affects integrity (in one movie perhaps you include actor's middle name, or maybe you have a typo).

At that point you'll start creating a collection that holds actors and then only store key of it in "details.actors". You will soon realize that you're basically reimplementing a relational database on top of Mongo, except not only it is way slower, your application is becoming more complex.

There are uses for NoSQL, but whenever you have to ask yourself which model you should go with pretty much always the answer will be: relational.

The point is to make good AI to play within the rules of the game. It's a lot more difficult than giving the AI advantages over the human player.

I worked remotely for around two years, and the most helpful tool was https://www.sqwiggle.com/ . You colleagues feel just a little closer that way. It even makes it easy to listen in to a conversation that happens in an office with multiple people.

That said, quite a few people found it creepy, and we allowed anyone to opt out.

Indeed, as someone who's had a close family member require brain surgery in the past, I would caution people against thinking of it like any other surgery. The equivalent of "a lingering stiffness" or "Skin tightening because of scar tissue" becomes something else entirely when talking about the brain, and by extension the mind.
The whole system sucked. Those things has little memory or CPU. Windows Mobile didn't have memory protections or preemptive multitasking. Pocket Internet Explorer sucked even worse than Internet Explorer 6. It was challenging to find apps for them.

But the real disruption was the disruption in the carrier relationship. A lot of smartphones didn't have WiFi, and the carriers would nickel and dime you for every kilobyte. Apple convinced them to do the flat rates and big chunks of data. Apple introduced manufacturer control of the user experience, instead of Verizon disabling every feature that would allow you to avoid the carrier's fees. When the iPhone was announced, the feature I was most impressed by was the visual voicemail. Voicemail was so tedious and inefficient before iPhone.
My recommendation: If you ever have a CT scan, ask the imaging facility for a copy of the data. Make an archival backup for posterity and then download some free tools and spend some time exploring and learning about your own body.
