I was just playing around with the API and thought I'd do this a quick little exercise. Once it worked, I thought I'd share. Thanks for the kind words.
Intel's SSD firmware brings speed boost, mass death (again)
I agree with you on the first two points, but interpolating polynomials is not analogous to the ability to multiply single-digit numbers, which is indicative of a certain level of mathematical literacy which one would expect from even a third grader.
I've gotten paid expenses for several conferences, and I'm not really a 'somebody'. Depending on the conference, 'somebodies' can definitely expect to be paid a little something; although of course it may pale in comparison with other revenue they may make, depending on the person/field.
Tweetcetera is now live
Hi everyone,

I released yesterday my new application, called tweetcetera. (http://www.tweetcetera.com/)

Basically, I like to says:

A Twitter web client, as the official should be.

You login with your Twitter account, then you access an easy twitter web interface, with easy access to mentions and messages, easy nested conversations, auto update every 3 minutes, easy reply retweet and dm ...

At the the moment the development was very opinionated. I was using twitter by the web, never liked desktop app. I just wanted something simple to use.

I really want to hear about users thought, so please fill free to send suggestion on my email, getsatisfaction page or follow me at http://www.tweetcetera.com/spyou

I really hope you'll like it, and that the hacker news effect will not pull down my server :D

Ps: This is a "beta" so the paint is still wet.
I agree that it is ultimately disrespectful to the people attending, but on the other hand most of them have come just to look at you in person, see you talk (about anything really) and don't really care what you talk about or how well you are prepared. If they respect you they'll think anything you say is insightful.
Actually, this sounds exactly like copyright infringement.
"Not to rag on PHP or Visual Basic, but people could get by with just memorizing certain keywords"

That's bullshit. Yes, PHP/VB programming may be easier, and yes, they may not be tackling hard problems, but "problem solving" approach revolves around analysis and how to address different situations.

That is best expressed by the "if.. then.." construct.

Look - I'm not going to claim the ability to program in VB makes you a good problem solver. However, I am claiming that it is a difference of skill level, not skill set. Memorization is a different skill to problem solving.
Not necessary. If you assume that people is going to spread the news in twitter (or blogs, facebook, etc.) when they find a balloon, the locations is not a restriction. You just need a smart enough engine to search and find those tweets. Now, the "smart engine technology" is the difficult task (and for sure what DARPA is looking for).
Heh. I love that you can publish dozens of technical language-tips articles in relative obscurity, then have one purely philosophical post shoot up reddit and HN - and all the language lawyers come out and quibble about the code samples!

Not that I'm complaining, mind you, I actually learned something from this comment. Thanks!
How to Pick up Girls Using Facebook ?
So simple and yet such an effective way to chat up girls you've never met before.
I dug around. I found http://ww2.unhabitat.org/habrdd/conditions/westeurope/switze...

Seems like Switzerland has an urbanization level of 65% of the population. Does this count as extremely high? And it's not stable. Its projected to reach 72% by 2025.
A contrasting approach - when Mo Ibrahim set up a mobile network in African counties he knew a no-bribe approach wouldn't fly, so bribes were limited $30,000.

The masses still use Comic Sans for presentations. They don't really know or care what that serif/sans business is all about and they definitely don't care about the default font. As bad as it is, that's what I see all around.

But I'm not sure what is the problem with font customisation you're referring to. There's a dialog with 4 basic choices (from "blurry" to "crisp, subpixel) and another dialog for fine tuning where you see examples for every single option. How can it be simpler?
I think both with continue to co-exist and will also see a trend of centralizing our posting at one place. In fact, we are already seeing it with Posterous and Tumblr. It allows much more freedom to users.

I also think twitter is paving way for mainstream blogging, as it attracted so many mainstream users requiring so low commitment from users to engage and got people into habit of opening-up and sharing more and more of their thoughts. Eventually they will sure long for more freedom and blogging is the answer.
No it's not, it's narcissism. Look at me, I'm a computer engineer, I solve math problems all day, so I must be much smarter than everyone else.

You think consultants don't have to think about the needs of their client?
You think salesmen don't have to think about how to make the deal go through?
You think lawyers don't have to think about how to make their case?
You think doctors don't have to think about their patients problems?
You think wall street traders don't have to think about how to beat the market?
You think managers don't have to think about the thoughts and emotions of their employees and customers? (ok, here lies a real problem)
You think real estate agents don't need to be creative to stay afloat?

I've never seen these stupid people everyone keeps talking about, but I have a huge suspicion it's a case of projection.
So don't do it while you are working.
> But anyway, how hard does the math problem have to be before it becomes illegal to solve?

Well, that is the point, isn't it. It is about intent, not the difficulty of the problem. Picking up a wallet is easy, taking someone's wallet is illegal.

But, the intent here: "use my own software on my own hardware", is (or should be) legal - all the rest is fluff.
Perhaps. Though in Germany they do have a health care system that does not disadvantage employers of older people like this. I don't if it's making much of a difference.
It's not nice to care about people unfollowing you. Twitter is used by many as a stream of news, so it's a natural process that my interests shifts over time I want to unfollow people twitting about stuff that are no longer pertinent to what I'm doing right now.

Elderly people have never been my primary source for facts or technical instructions. I went to the library or asked experts any age before the Internet came around. It's the experience and the subsequent insight which is extremely hard to replace by technology.

Real life example: I'm always in search of good recipes. For sure, there are tons of good recipes out there. But there are even more bad ones out there. In my experience, user rating systems only help to a limited degree. Even then, I'm facing a long web search and I typically have to try many of them out before I arrive at a good one. On the other hand, I collect recipes from grandmothers and grandfathers. They have never failed me. Why? Because they've been practicing them for 50 years.
I would put number 11 at the top.
Sorry. I am just irritated by people who make it sound like it would be the other way round.

(US laws are not in general properties of the universe, though I understand that appearances can be deceiving.)

Anyway, enough arguing. Let me just say `Hitler' to close this thread by Godwin's law.
Got anything to backup the 'users find sliders troublesome' assertion? I’d agree with you if you said developers, but I haven’t heard about any user problems.

And more or less in that order. It's certainly how I have designed http://www.femtoo.com (sorry about the obvious plug!)
mind sharing a link to the said online post?
I think putting one person in charge ,while may cause a decrease in the number of good ideas, overall it will result in less distractions and bring in more focus into the product, also the ideas that get through are executed much more efficiently.
Also as the article stated that by using the earlier model they did miss on lot of transitions, that can be avoided as well.
maybe no one's stopped following you, you popular fellow, you!
Fred makes some great points here, but can venture capital truly be "slow capital"?

It's my understanding that venture capital funds (the pools of money raised by VC firms) typically have a fixed lifetime of 7-10 years (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venture_capital#Structure_of_th...). Also, most VC investments don't occur in the first year the fund was raised, further lowering the years required for liquidity.

This would seem to conflict with the idea that a VC firm can have "no set timetable for getting liquid: slow capital is patient capital".

I am crunching graph parameters based on data stored in an "input table". A single row computation can take as long as five minutes, because I compute numerous costly parameters each time.

My work isn't really that complex, but it takes ages to compute everything.
What an embarrassing mistake. Thanks for the tip. It's fixed now.

D&D on Microsoft Surface multi-touch table
It sounds like you did the best you could after being hit with a pretty big curve ball.

Had this happened to me, I think I would have approached it by saying something to the effect of "Look buddy, we're a small outfit, we couldn't really do things this way even if we wanted to. How you usually manage your affairs is none of my business, but I think it would be best for us both if we just forget this conversation ever happened." End of story. So still a firm "no" but also indicating that I'm not interested in making trouble and just wish to be left alone. In this kind of situation, sure there's the question of the greater good not being addressed (i.e. he can go on being corrupt), but sorry, the good of me and mine comes first. There will be corrupt people around for as long as there are people around.

But if I were to find myself in the position you're in now where it seems the guy still may harbour some ambitions that he may still have an in with you, on the one hand I wouldn't really want to keep interacting with this guy because the more I would it kind of feels like it could be construed later on as some form of collusion. But at the same time I would be very careful about exposing him before getting legal advice, because who knows if this guy might go all vindictive and try to take you down with him. From what you've said, it seems like it would be yours and your partner's word against his, two witnesses on your side is better than one I guess, but these "his word against yours" kind of things seem to have a way of sometimes getting very messy if they ever hit a court room. I'd be looking to avoid that possibility.

Get some senior legal advice ASAP! Fuck the greater good, do what's best for you and your partner! Good luck with it!

P.S. I do also think though that there's a difference between supplying a bribe and buying a client a coffee or something. The latter and things like it can be part of building a relationship and there's nothing wrong with that. You just need to make sure that this kind of thing stays at a certain reasonable level.

Why Analytics Is an Essential Aid in Improving your websites ROI.
The ability to analyse the shopping habits and traffic flow of visitors to a website with ease is one of the biggest benefits that online retailers have over traditional high street stores and the importance of installing analytics software onto a website should never be underestimated
John Stewart's "Meta-President" segment demonstrates this point better than anything else I've seen:

> The salesperson was not the most moral of people, but he had a family to support, and it's very difficult to find a job in this down-market.

It seems to me that the salesperson already had a job, before he decided to act blatantly disloyally to his employer.
I memorized my way through all kinds of math in high school. I was in my thirties before I knew some of those formulas had practical applications. I knew my oldest son couldn't memorize his way through math. So I taught a conceptual approach. It was the math concepts I retained anyway. When I went back to school, knowing the concepts stood me in good stead. Looking up what all the little squiggles meant and refamiliarizing myself with some of the formulas quickly got me up to speed. I was waivered into my statistics class based on my 17 year old SAT scores because I had never taken college algebra. I ended up with the highest grade in the class and explained a lot to my classmates. So I made sure my son knew the concepts, even though he is terrible at dealing with numbers. It worked beautifully.

How it's taught can make a big difference.
I think we should also add point 'Memorable'. I think it should leave an long-lasting impression, which should sub-consciously lead a user back to the site, repetitively.
I've committed a quick fix for the problems to me clone of the Git repo here: http://github.com/almost/redis

Check the changed doctests for examples of why it was a bad idea not to sanitize key names and other params. Ignore the changed doctests involving Decimals, I had to change those to get them to pass on my machine but they're not related to me fixes.
Hmm... I guess I never thought of Sys Req as "features". I would expect it in the release notes (not present) or on the download page (not present). Placing at the bottom of the "features" page is obfuscating, in my opinion, if it is placed nowhere else.

But good of you to find it; I would never have thought to look at the Features page. Again, whiny of me.

And even Canonical forgets it's there; now that you pointed it out, some searching reveals a similar page, http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/desktopedition, which says it requires 4 GB of space.
Asimov estate authorises I, Robot sequels
The point I was trying to convey with the analogy is exactly that of (the lack of) scarcity in domain names.

Especially pre-bubble there was this real-estate-scarcity angle on domain-names: if you have a website about shoes, you need shoes.com, or you'll never be leading. But today we have Zappos which is a name I'm certain was purchased for $2.99 back when they launched and is developed into a first-class business today. If they'd insisted on getting shoes.com, chances are they might never have launched.

How to deal with palpitation
RISC core and microcoded CISC instructions then?

Still, what I meant was that the processor contains logic for some virtual machine style operations, eg keeping track of objects on the heap on-chip (or in a dedicated segment of ram/virtual address space) and having a hardware garbage collector. The main instruction set would still be RISC, but it would contain a small number of CISC instructions for allocating memory which the garbage collector then manages.

As for dynamic dispatch, I guess thats not really needed, since it can be constructed from simpler instructions, but having a Python-style method dictionary lookup for member functions be performed in hardware could be interesting.

Finally, if a processor had reflection and introspection features.. eg data is annotated in memory so that the structure and state of a program can be determined melodramatically at runtime (and modified).

Actually, while writing this, I realise that this probably doesn't really make much sense... :-/
Hmmm... I guess I thought a userfriendly distro should be friendly to the user by providing me info I didn't know I needed to ask up front, and hiding things that are merely technically interesting or edge case. Disk space is probably the former. Asking me to "just google it" is probably not the response Ubuntu/Canonical or any other product would want.

BTW, since it crashed on install instead of catching that my partitions weren't large enough, that's a fail. But by merely providing the info on the DL page, they might have saved themselves some credibility loss as a "user friendly" distro.

But I do appreciate that you didn't throw a lmgtfy.com link in, which would have been really embarrassing for me.

Honestly, in the first second or so it's all about adverts. If an advert is the first thing that catches me eye, then usually I'm gone. I'm particularly sensitive to moving adverts.

After that I'm looking for an about page. If I see generic marketing spiel then I'm outta there (either on the home page, or about page). If there's a simple, plain description of what the site is/provides then I'll stick around and explore.

edit: I'm not against adverts, I'm against sites that have a little content that is solely used to pad out the adverts.
Stereo Microscope
I'd guess that your tone, combined with the borderline off-topic-ness and the fact that you haven't really added anything to the conversation ticked people off. I wouldn't and didn't downvote you based on that comment, but certainly wouldn't upvote. I suspect if you'd phrased it differently and maybe made it a little more useful, people would have responded differently, e.g. "I really admire these calculator hackers, it's amazing what can be done on these simple machines, e.g. these cool games: [link], [link] and [link]."

The HN userbase appreciates a high signal/noise ratio. Merely calling something "cool" is considered noise.

Hope that helps.
After reading a lot of comments in a lot of threads like this one on a lot of sites, I've noticed a particular factor which sticks out: people who direct this sort of commentary at education in the US almost all seem to have attended very large universities.

I did not attend such a university, and my experience of "academics" was rather different from what's described in the linked comment; there were some things that I know were unusual about the way my college education was structured, and that not even all of the students there were getting the same level of or approach to education, but I suspect that there's a fundamental difference between large and small schools. The larger the institution, the more "efficient" it has to be with the resources at hand; this seems to lead naturally to the sort of bulk-processed "memorize this and regurgitate it on an exam" approach being complained about here. A smaller institution, meanwhile, isn't under the same pressure to move large volumes of students through its curriculum, and can afford to do things differently. I'm well aware that mine did, and thankful every day for that fact.
I am aware of that. I'm merely putting forward an alternative explanation, which, in my opinion, is more plausible than that, considering the site's title.
