I'll try to find the source, but I'm pretty sure there are some issues with Chrome on OSX, and that these are thought to be the fault of Chrome. For example, testing has shown that Safari achieves significantly better battery life when running on the same set of pages.

Edit: Found it [1]. A couple of salient quotes:

"I ran the usual Verge battery test on Apple’s new machine. [...] Safari made the new Retina machine look good: 13 hours and 18 minutes. Google’s Chrome, on the other hand, forced the laptop to tap out at 9 hours and 45 minutes."

"The widely used SunSpider browser benchmark clocks the MacBook Pro in at 203ms when using Chrome. Safari scores 30 percent better with a time of 144ms."

Very cool effect and looks very smooth and "believeable"
I always found the cloud IDE's hard to work with. Mostly because of speed, and mostly because they are forcing all the tools (terminal, editor, etc) to live in one browser window.
Small advice: do something with those brackets. They are in the middle of the page and their misalignment with coding skills section is infuriating (at least for me).

I have seen some but they are not in the B2C space. Usually in specialty B2B space.

A lot of medical applications (signal processing, visualization, robot control) tend to be traditional desktop applications.

Also military applications for analysis, and planning are often desktop based because they can not use consumer mobile devices nor can they rely on the "cloud".
Yup, I have Cloud9 installed locally on my own server. All my coding is done through it. Fast, easily accessible over VPN, and complete control. Love having multiple terminals open right up on my server in the IDE and just flip through them using tabs.
The only countries I know about are Norway, Sweden and the UK and in non of those countries are you required by law to stay in school for the last 2 (UK) or 3 (Norway, Sweden) years.

It's a term used to describe a planet more massive than the Earth, but less massive than Neptune. These planets are thought to be typically rocky. From the introduction of the paper:

> The archetypical planets of our Solar System --- Jupiter the gas giant, Neptune the "ice" giant, and Earth the terrestrial planet --- represent an incomplete inventory of the planet types in our galaxy. We are locally impoverished in "super-Earths," the broad category of planets intermediate in size and mass between Earth and Neptune.

The benefit of this library is being able to play media on multiple chromecasts on the same network. So using this, a developer could create a Plex-style app for casting to multiple TVs. One use case could be digital signage at an event, where you'd want to control all TVs from one console.

Q&A with Clay Kohut: Periscope Fanatic and FIEND Founder
Firstly, 80:00:00 / 7 = 11:25:43

~ As for those other things you mentioned, the remaining 88 hours in the week would allocated as follows: 56 hours for sleep, 10 hours for meals, 3 hours for personal hygiene, 2 hours for exercise, 16 hours for a personal side project, and 1 hour to socialize. ~

~ You'll have plenty of time for friends and relationships when you're dead. If you really cared about the company, you would abandon your personal side project and work 96 hour weeks. If you spent less time eating, you could also spend less time exercising. And some of your co-workers do get a bit ripe at times, so you're probably over-allocating time to hygiene. It takes me 3 minutes to shower, head to toe. That's how you get ahead in this business: effective time management. Also, I survive on a nutrient slurry that allows me to consume an entire day's worth of meals in only 30 seconds. And since I don't have time to actually buy anything, almost all my earnings go straight to savings! ~

The real answer is that you either sacrifice some sleep or you don't have any leisure time. That previous schedule breakdown intentionally ignores the time cost of transportation between activities, and little things like bathroom breaks.

Calculating from my own life, if I worked 80 hours per week, I would have approximately 4 hours of disposable leisure time left. That would only be possible if 95% of my weekly fun requirement was met by work. The likelihood of that happening in any workplace that expected 80 hour weeks is abysmally low.
Perhaps not that much, but if the earnings were bad enough to justify such a response, a night to sleep on it may not have made much of a difference.

On the C++ to C translators: The first actual C++ compiler was actually a trans-compiler to C (actually the language was still called cFront back then, but basically it's the first version of C++[0]).

So in that case, the C++ to C compiler was there before the first real C++ compiler which appeared some time later.

The graph is "odd" because it's looking for causality not correlation. If more developed countries are more educated all it proves is that education is a normal good and that people consume more of it as they get richer. That would prove nothing about whether education causes economic growth.

Your point about noisy measurements, such as it is, applies to all macroeconomic measurement. If you're willing to proclaim radical scepticism about all macroeconomics fine. Otherwise this is just an isolated demand for rigour.

The authour is on fact an economist and he references two different economics papers in the post, with links in support of his argument. And of course he has an agenda. Everyone has an agenda. The agenda of the agendaless is continuation of the status quo. Neutrality is an illusion.
It makes sense, Kolor was already the reference in HD panoramas stitching tools and with their recent push towards video as well, they're a logical complement to GoPro.
Interesting. Thanks for the short and sweet answer.
No, because none of them contain the static analysis and developer tools one comes to expect from a competent IDE.

Also coding in the browser has been a miserable experience.
Then why stay? Why waste quality of life for a startup lottery ticket that data has repeatedly shown will most likely fail? Being a non-profitable early stage startup is no excuse to run the place like a slave ship.
For thread safety, you only want locks if your variable is shared. And even then consider using "sync.atomic" compare and swap operations instead.

It's often possible to avoid sharing by passing discrete data around via channels. As a general rule, if it only has one owner, it's thread safe.
We do the same thing with code and as long as the license is respected, things go smoothly. There's no reason it can't work with mods.

Where do you get the statistic that "most" HN folks are making native mobile apps? Are you sure it's not server-side software, or machine-independent code, or something else?

i.e. [citation needed]

Also, the reasons people make native mobile apps rather than hybrid apps (which run inside a mobile web-player component) are speed and reliability. Famously, Facebook switched from HTML5 to native for their iOS app:

I really don't grok stockmarket even though I participate in it (mostly passively). As an almost outsider, it looks like a self-referential make-believe game. You are rewarded (or punished) for predicting not some objective aspect of reality but for what most others (aka "the market") believe/think/feel about the reality. It's very bizarre.
That would be unlikely to constitute insider trading (which is less illegal than you might think). Selerity would not have been violating a duty of trust or confidence; whoever posted the earnings early may have violated such a duty but did not reap any material gain for doing so. So they'd probably be in the clear.
Awesome resources. Thanks for providing this.
> Well, good luck, because Android devices have touchscreen latency of 100+ ms.

For what it's worth, this statistic is a little outdated, a little wrong, and not necessarily the one you care about.

A little outdated: It was done in 2013, and in the past couple years the touch panels on most flagship Android devices have gotten significantly better. Even the linked article was comparing Apple's latest device to older flagship models. The Nexus 5, released a week after Touchmarks published their numbers, consistently has about 70ms of latency, for example. The M8 reportedly[1] gets around 50ms of latency, which is pretty astounding.

A little wrong: There were multiple issues with the Touchmarks benchmark. They reportedly "discovered an optimization in our iOS test app that was not present in our Android or Windows Phone test apps", they had known race conditions that could introduce additional delay on Android that were never fixed, etc.

Not necessarily the one you care about: That statistic measure physical touch down to visible response, but you only actually care about the time until the application receives the event because that's the point you actually can kick off the network activity. Considering the display latency side of it is ~48ms, that's a fairly significant difference.

I think the point of the article is that disappointing earnings minus investor relations PR spin cost twitter much more than the normal scenario for bad earnings, which does include IR spin. And that nobody would have known about it, except for this tweet.

I don't know how much truth is in those two points, particularly the latter, but that's what the article is about.

Does My Daughter Have a Future in Tech?
I just recently saw a story about using a pseudo-static compiler to improve the Clojure startup time. Maybe it's about to get better?
It's a great machine. Very happy with my purchase.

it really depends on your needs though. I use it as my portable machine and it goes wherever I go when I'm on the go, which I previously had an 11 inch air for. Coming from that it's an enormous upgrade.

The battery lasted me 7 hours yesterday of constant use, and the screen is the best screen of any laptop I have personally used. it's not really a widescreen anymore which helps with my terminal experience greatly.

My normal workload includes 50% terminal.app, 30% Xcode and the rest is split up between instant messaging and emailing. so I don't desire or need to run things like video editing or VMware. I use an iMac for that stuff, infrequently.

so for an OS X based machine that is ultra portable and runs terminal well, I'm not sure why you would be better off waiting. it's a great product.
There is a misspelled word on the "View" menu, first item. It is "libary."
The article didn't make the link between NASDAQ, NYSE, and Twitter clear.

The quarterly report was posted on twitter's own website (investor.twitterinc.com). Twitter would have had to prepare the report, and post it there. Twitter is listed on the NYSE, not NASDAQ...

Seems Twitter goofed more than anything...
http://www.jamkazam.com - we are not yet VC-backed, but I hope so soon.

Because latency is an absolute premium for playing music in real-time across the internet, we've focused first on the desktop, where we have the most control ... but still find a ton of challenges.

If you saw this recent article about Android and audio latency, you can see why there are challenges in the mobile space: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9386994

If you were to try and build a web-only version of JamKazam, WebRTC is your best bet but it does not have low enough latency, either.

This is probably a back of the napkin calculation of future lost sales and other actions. I could see it adding up to a large number. Valve really is not in a great position now considering the success of Origin and how current and future version of Windows will make further use of the MS store to sell software.
So, I was following this accidental leak on reddit, someone made a really good comment. It goes as follows, regardless of the loss of market cap. Who would've thought that Twitter would be a viable two billion dollar company? Wow. They've achieved a lot. Props to them, even though they have a volatile stock.
Before I read this I wasn't entirely clear on the benefits of using mixpanel - I'm definitely going to look into using this in my own businesses and projects.

Your comment is just as sensational as the headline.

I'll ask the same thing I asked someone else: You're saying if Twitter released their earnings as planned after closing that today after opening they would have still lost $8Bn? That is the relevant fact reported by BBC, and I highly doubt Twitter would have dropped by that much if investors slept on the news.

I ran into someone from Selerity last night after this happened. I don't think they were able to do that, but he was still quite proud and happy regardless.

I wouldn't be surprised if the extra business they will get from the event might be worth more than a quick short in the long run.
It's definitely sensationalist, but the fact remains, that single tweet represented prior knowledge causing a large, unexpected shift near the end of the trading day. Being unexpected, it seems to have triggered a fear-based selloff that may not have been as bad as if if the stock moved either direction after the earnings report.

When I travelled through Ghana a few years back, the teaching methods struck me as being a hundred years out of date. Oversized classes where most learning happens through droning repetition and where corporal punishment is still the norm - you can see the historical origins of the Prussian military who wanted to create obedient citizens.

The developing countries could in theory learn from our mistakes and train their educators to use better teaching methods while skipping most of the trial and error.

So in that sense I expect them to be able to catch up much quicker.

> Nothing safety critical would have been entrusted to the iPad.

I'm afraid I must disagree here. The iPad is a replacement for a bunch of paper manuals and maps and charts which are the backups to the ones contained in the flight computers. So if your iPad doesn't work any more, you don't have a backup anymore and that is safety critical.

You can always buy and hold and get your dividends; there are plenty of "boring" companies where the valuation is much less speculative.

But that's not the majority of the market.

It wasn't exactly a deliberate choice.

The number system we use was imported to Europe from Arabia. In Arabic, the number 1234 is written with the most significant digit on the left -- but Arabic is written right-to-left, so it's actually little-endian. When they were introduced to Europe (with the help of Fibonacci), the convention of putting the most significant digit on the left was retained, but since European languages are written left-to-right the notation magically became big-endian.

The fact that the Roman numeral system that it replaced was also big-endian was likely an influence.

Amazon was eager. I'd highlight the non-technical role bit.

Anecdotal but heres my story regarding them:
Recruiter was very excited to fly me to Seattle. I attribute the MBA to that(CS Undergrad). Unfortunately I find a common stigma attached to the MBA for technical roles. During my Technical Program Management interview none of the interviewers had a business degree. PhD in cs, and an MIS, but I didn't connect much with 2/4 of the interviewers. 'So you don't want to be a developer anymore' was one of the opening comments I received. To address this i'm currently working on an intermediate step (title=founder?) to further distance myself from pure dev and thinking about PMP & Marketing certifications to help downplay the 10 years work experience developing.

On the other side of the coin, they say that Amazon hires only one out of every 5 candidates, my sample size of 1 is too small, and I cant claim I aced every conversation.
