For tab groups, why not use Firefox's built-in system? The icon next to the "New Tab" button shows you tabs groups and lets you make new ones, drag tabs from one group to another, and name tab groups. Firefox also takes tabs out of memory when they're in a group you're not looking at.
> promoting other free alternatives by putting a price on it?

I mean, it's been working fine for them up till now. The year of Linux desktop still hasn't really happened, people still buy Windows computers. Until the OEMs change, this isn't really going to change at all. If OEMs switched to an alternative, then yes, I could easily see your suggestion being implemented. Until then, however, Microsoft's pricing works fine for new computers, and they are getting current users upgraded free, which would be their other big chunk of userbase.

Not charging money, especially when the current system works, is a piss poor business decision. No sane company would adopt it. If something weren't working, sure, anything can happen.

Hipmunk

San Francisco, CA - close to Caltrain

Experienced iOS, Android, frontend, or fullstack web engineers. We're always open to good DevOps, backend, and data engineers as well.

http://www.hipmunk.com/jobs

We're a high-standards group with a lot of pride in our products, code, and people. We understand consumer scale and data (Reddit co-founder & engineers) and aspire to build products that customers love. We've had success due to this, consistently getting 4-5 star reviews on app/play stores and net promoter scores at or above the best in the tech industry.

We're friends and work hard to enable folks to do their best work. Processes are light and trust is high. At 29 engineers we're not so big where you can't know everyone well and have an impact, but not so small where it's chaos and you don't have anyone to learn from. We value learning and growth (and not having bored people) and invest regular time in doing so. For example, every other Friday is open time for you to do stuff that helps you be a better engineer.

We're looking for folks that love all of the above and can help us raise our standards. You can apply at http://www.hipmunk.com/jobs if you're interested!
> And much of the time, I find it faster and easier to fix a broken makefile than to fix broken autohell.

Exactly. 99% of the time, a broken makefile simply has an incorrect linker path or cflag. When it's not a path, the Makefile is structured in a way that makes sense and is easy to fix. If an autoconf project is broken, I just scrap it and don't even bother trying to build it.

The other issue with autoconf is that it's not standardized. So many of the autoconf projects I've seen have shell scripts (to install it or download deps) mixed in that only add more confusion. Some of them have a configure script. Some have a configure.in, so you have to generate the configure yourself.

100% of the makefiles I've seen have a build, install and clean task. Sure, it's not required, but everybody does it. You can't say the same for autoconf.

Developers have a tendency to get overly excited about speed. Fast database, fast search, fast framework, etc. The truth of the matter is that speed should be evaluated within a spectrum. As long as your application latency is within a spectrum, you should be just fine

The TLDR summary of the article is its really easy to get stuck down a mineshaft of "I'm sure they're looking for a more elegant way to do this". (edited to add, because scalability... demand fizzbuzz run 1...1e99 or under some weird time constraints and all bets are off, but no, its 1...100)

The comment on the article of a similar example of print an ASCII art diamond claiming cleanly using symmetry is unusable sticks in my brain a bit. There's gotta be a way! I mean, there has to be, right? But my first bright ideas all involve limitations that would be very non-clean and limitation inducing, although they would be cool applications of symmetry.
And what if I fail to 'reserve' my free copy? Because that's excatly what I intend to do.

Do you shame them back? Like, "EXCUSE ME, I WILL NOT SLEEP WITH YOU"

Probably because Microsoft makes a lot of money licensing the OS to PC and device manufacturers.

Most end-users already don't pay exclusively for Windows -- it's bundled in with the price of the device. What's the purpose of making Windows free if most people, with the hardware to run it, are already entitled to it?

Nobody "tried start a witch hunt"; Richards never even accused them of being sexist, let alone tried to get them fired. And they were - exactly as you say - minding their own business.

Absent any 4chan backlash or overreaction by the companies in question, it would have been two dudes cracking tasteless jokes and someone pointing out how she didn't think it was cool. You probably see that on Facebook every day.

The fact that anyone got fired over this is what made this moment infamous.
I'm more than happy to recommend Charles, have worked with him on a crazy speed re-write of a large website.
Lets look at some of Zed Shaw's comments.

I hate abusive fucks, and right now HN is so abusive and out of control that someone has to do something about it.

I've just looked at his blog and it is full of insults and slurs about other people.

He's a hypocrite.

Currently the most popular way to slander someone on HN is to create a “throwaway” or “anon” account, say what you want, then slink off into the shadows like a weak limp dicked little loser.

I mean fuck man we all know HN “hackers” flat refuse to buy anything except porn, lube, and prosthetic dildos to compensate for their teeny tiny weenies.

Is it that your balls are so incredibly dirty that you periodically need to have a bunch of grown men come slob away at your scrotum every demo day?

Would I have to cost you millions before you decided it wasn’t worth it to run a shitty 1990s forum site just to listen to a bunch of grown men complain about another grown man’s choice of hobby while they jerk their tiny puds at fake tits MILF porn?

He loves to be macho and call people names.

You may be chuckling now, but I’d like to point out that one of the reasons most of your moronic baby penis followers hate me is because I wiped out epic amounts of Ruby on Rails with one blog post full of truth.

I also have two books that bring in more traffic in a month than probably all the traffic your bottom 80% startups bring in during a whole year.

What if I started offering to advise new coders, the millions I teach a year (yes, millions Paul) to avoid all of your company’s startups?

He's a narcissist.

I’m not physically afraid of the idiots there. I bet most of them start breathing hard when their fingers break 100WPM on their fancy “hacker” sticker coated MacBooks.

From another post of his:
I’ll add one more thing to the people reading this: I mean business when I say I’ll take anyone on who wants to fight me. You think you can take me, I’ll pay to rent a boxing ring and beat your fucking ass legally. Remember that I’ve studied enough martial arts to be deadly even though I’m old, and I don’t give a fuck if I kick your mother fucking ass or you kick mine. You don’t like what I’ve said, then write something in reply but fuck you if you think you’re gonna talk to me like you can hurt me.

I’ll never be afraid of some pilsner fresh fat fuck who eats donut hamburgers and only gets exercise when he plays World of Warcraft on a DDR pad.

He's a thug.

Because after 7 years of abuse I’ve had to adjust my life around the raving fucking idiots on HN and the rampant abusive shit they say.

That would happen in any community he participated in.

.

I don't know why people like a person like this. He seems to be poison to most people around him. A person who will beat you into disability if you say anything that doesn't support him or you look at him the wrong way.

He may have written some things that are moderately popular, but still his behavior is harmful. A murderer does not get excused because of the work they do.

So I still don't get it. Why do people like him?

I think the author does a great job at venting frustration at the state of autotuning systems research, though I would disagree that the research interest has dried up. On the contrary, autotuning research is alive and kicking, the problem is that there has been few attempts to unify all the competing systems that exist (with some exceptions [1]). As such, the state of autotuning is fragmented, with no one approach able to achieve the critical mass needed to hit the mainstream.

Disclaimer: I'm doing a PhD in autotuning ;-)

Omniata integrates analytics, CRM, engagement and A/B testing platforms into a single all encompassing solution.

We are looking for a talented full stack engineer to help us take our service to the next level and change how our customers view their business critical data. As such, we hope you have keen interest in big data, data visualization & building modern web interfaces and REST APIs.
You will work alongside product managers, business analysts, designers and other engineers to spec up and implement new parts of our service. This will involve writing code for both browser and server, which interfaces with our back end event data store.

As a full stack engineer you will be responsible for creating the front end of Omniata's service that allows our customers to make the most of their data. You’ll need to have the ability to quickly go from a set of wireframes and requirements to a working web app while taking customer needs and changing priorities into account.

Knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript is required. Familiarity with AngularJS is a plus. Experience with any server side web stack such as: Java, Rails, Node as well as any Python or PHP framework is also assumed.

This is especially true if you have multimodal distributions (such as the income datasets in the article). Although its true that there are simple algebraic properties that allow you to calculate the mean and variance of the total population given the same for sub-populations, it often isn't the case that this will be a good fit to the data. That being said, this is a useful property for parallelizing gaussian fits.

As a former multiple hundreds of tab users. I did t know I could write a hn article about it. :P
But the way I solved was by not having all 100s+ tabs in 1 window frame. But by dragging out a few tabs into another windows frame. And sorting that way. Combined with multiple 27" 2560*1440 monitors. I never had any issues.
Most the plug-ins are meh or add instability. Never had any slowness or issues with performance or crashes and I'm not doing anything special or different at all. Or at least I don't think I am.

However as of late I've been trying to keep total count under 20. Though it's often quite difficult.

It takes too much thinking to use editors like that. I'm very much of the "don't make me think" school, and I grew up using Notepad. Well, maybe I don't use Notepad anymore, but I like it when I press the up-arrow key and my cursor moves up a line. Simple.
Vim is a text editor, not an IDE. It can be, as you point out, made to act like an IDE with enough plugins - but it is still not an IDE.

Comparing Vim to other text editors (sublime text, etc.) is a much more apt comparison.
