"In 1998 that standard had a Rule No. 70 called -- I don't remember the exact language. But function should call

"What was NASA's view about this recursion? A So NASA's view, NASA was concerned about stack -- possible stack overflow. They had a couple of pages devoted to it, about five pages.

Yes. In what way? The stack can overflow due to this recursion in the Camry. And create memory corruption? And that would create memory corruption, that's difficult to test -- detect in testing."

Man, some elementary stuff here. They changed the specs numbering and did not update their manuals as well as forgetting that recursion in very costly in memory and could overwrite the stack... Jee, these are things a C programmer learns from day one, even in CS50...
> had the Versailles Treaty granted Vietnam its independence, as Ho Chi Minh requested when he attended the Hall of Mirrors conference.

I don't think this was likely. Those were the times when raw power roared around the globe. What did Ho Chi Minh have to put on the table with other giants to even make others notice? Unprecedented free will?
The only unions that I am aware of that have achievements close to this are lawyer's guilds (through state bars) and doctor's guilds (the AMA, by limiting medical school admissions).

Lawyers, as of the last 15 years or so, are not doing so well - the median figure I found for 2013 is $114K. Doctors are doing better, at median $190K.

That's a far cry from "each of us" - even with these two professions, 50-80% of the people earn less than $200k.

And, they both manage it through strict licensing, which effectively requires 6-8 year studies in an accredited institute - which carry hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt in most cases.

Which union and setting exactly did you have in mind when you wrote this?

What visual programming languages do is lower the barrier for entry. Once you're hooked, and you begin gaining experience, you will naturally understand the limitations of the platform. By being inquisitive, you will realise that the software used in the real world isn't all built in Scratch. But, to breed that inquisitiveness in children at a young age requires making it accessible.

You, for example, probably very quickly realised that if you wanted to make games with a GUI, QBASIC was not the tool for you, but by the sounds of it, that didn't dissuade you.

Personally, I'm of the opinion that your very first language doesn't matter very much. As a programmer, you will (should) be learning plenty more, so the first one is more about learning how to learn than anything else.

The first question to be answered is where do you want to go with this app? Do you want it to be something you can brag about? Or do you want it to be something that you nurture and grow from one stage to the next? Either is fine, and there are lots of other options. But knowing the answer to that question will determine your next features in the app.

wow. the tabsync reason is hard to swalow for me.

i use delicious (it is still around) with the android app. you just 'share' a url. work with any browser you want to use, on any platform (firefox,IE,Cr,windows,linux,iOS,Android). it also incentives you to organize your bookmarks. it is not as convenient on speed, but it surely makes up for it by just adding an account you care nothing for on every device (instead of one that can access your emails/contacts/etc). And i don't want to have my living room tv browser in sync while i read on the bathroom.
> Most people assumed, seriously, I was just being shy about explaining I was unemployed at that moment

That's not limited to Singapore. My mom basically decided I was 'unemployed' roughly up until the point that I employed her (after running a middling successful company for about 2 decades...). People will think whatever they want, just ignore it and concentrate on the work rather than on whatever social recognition you derive from running your own company.

And besides, for some part of my career being 'unemployed' and 'running my own company' might as well have been synonymous so maybe she was on to something after all ;).
There are definitely bots on here trying to blend in. You're right, this feels like a good one. Either that or a somewhat confused person. Or it could just be an amazing analogy. Now I'm confused.

I fear that FB (or any other company) would not view this as a wonderful opportunity to purchase data about it's users, but rather another company stealing it's data. Remember when there were companies who made money off Twitter's API? FB is infinitely more territorial.
But why is a free upgrade a good thing? What do I get by upgrading?

To a power user you get lots of nice things. Hyper-V is fantastic from Windows 8. Explorer is also faster and locks a lot less files and folders (the "you can't delete a folder that contained pictures" bug in windows 7).

But to a common user, there is nothing better in windows 10, other than the fact that they need to relearn how to use windows. From a UI point of view, the only additions are multiple desktops, which is at best a featurette, and moving the search bar from within the start menu to the task bar, which isn't exactly a revolution. If you don't have touch enabled on your machine, which would be the common case for windows 7, upgrading to windows 10 is only going to be a hassle.
Capitalism vs Communism
This is something I built in house for Stompflow.com and I work in small modules, which is why you see a bunch of modules in there. They're all quite smallish and reusable, which is kind of the point.

Most people wouldn't have bothered and they would've just created a single module with everything clumped together. By writing smaller pieces I get to reuse them across other stuff that I write, open-source or not

Edit for context: this wasn't originally going to be open source
Yes, I went through a one mongth trial of Office 365 because the price seemed good and I really wanted to like it.

On OS X the OneDrive client had problems synchronizing my 80 GB archive - refused to synchronize files containing characters not accepted on Windows (like ":"), crashed several times and it was also saturating my network bandwidth. To make matters worse, OneDrive doesn't have basic functionality, like a log of what happened (files added, removed), let alone a 30 days version history. So I have to trust that their shitty client is doing the right thing.

The way I see it - yes, the Family pack is cost effective, but I'll never store 1 TB of my data on OneDrive without having logs, versioning and a client that does not suck for both OS X and Linux. I also think people get to be irrational about pricing - the price of 1 TB on Dropbox or Google Drive is as much as 2 Starbucks coffees.

On Android, Office wasn't available for my Nexus 6 (Android L) until 2 or 3 weeks ago when it was finally released. Gave it a try and it's too bare-bones, plus it had problems displaying documents from work. I expected it to work well as a viewer, but it doesn't.

Several times, I have accidentally left prohibited items in my bag. I was only stopped once, and that was in the Cleveland airport where they proudly display every interesting weapon they have confiscated on the wall next to the checkpoint. They stole an expensive knife from me after a short interrogation (I guess to determine the degree of intent) and let me through the checkpoint. I think Peter Thiel had a bit about the TSA where he explained it as "security theater" that makes people feel safe, while any sophisticated actor could easily get through the checkpoints. I have to agree given my own experience with forgetting that lighters and knives are in my bag

If the TSA or Homeland Security doesn't report on how many terrorist attacks their invasive measures have stopped, then nobody will believe terrorism in the US is still a threat - and they will call for the disbandment of the TSA, cut in funding to Homeland Security and the other agencies like the NSA, etcetera.

The police report on crime too - why should those organizations be exempt from that?

We live in an impure capitalistic world, and the communist movements we've seen have not been communist in the marxist sense.

And talking about these as absolutes has no real value- there are other social-economic constructs which we must look to instead of jailing us in two parts based on.. well, nothing.

all the anti-communist propaganda still lives on in the hearts of Americans, but nobody can say for sure if Capitalism or Communism is objectively better since we've never actually seen true capitalism or true communism.

(and socialism is another thing entirely).
I do the exact same thing, but with the 'jk' keys. It works really well. I also have 'JJ' (insert mode) mapped to create a new line on top of the current line and go into insert mode, and 'jj' (insert mode) to create one line under the current line and go into insert mode. It seems like it makes no sense, but I have gotten used and works wonderfuly (I could finish writing the parameters for a function inside the parentheses, press jj and simply open the braces that make the function's body, instead of having to go to escape mode or having to press ')' and then enter to get out of the parentheses and go to the next line.

Thank you for the tip anyway :-)

Save money and invest it wisely in stocks and/or bonds. It's not fast, it's not techy, but it is a tried and true way.

The trick is, you need to figure out what "wisely" is. IMO, if your strategy involves holding on to your stocks, it is probably speculation (=gambling) rather than investing wisely.
Well that sounds like spyware if I've ever heard it.
My hunch is, the more greedy the patent holders are, the more likely, and the faster replacement cures will come to market.

And if that day comes, I certainly hope one of those replacement cures puts the greedy ones out of business.

On a darker note, I think your second comment speaks volumes about the kind of human being you are. I hope one day, years from now, you will take the time to come back to this comment and have the ability to reflect on just how sad your world view was at one point in your life.

On a lighter note, I agree that the best minds in the world should work on solving the hard / important problems of the world. With that said, machine learning / artificial intelligence (what alot of those "timewasters" are probably working on) will be what takes the human race to the next level. If you think "finding the cure for cancer" is next level, I am here to tell you we haven't seen anything yet. Machine learning / artificial intelligence is what's going to take us there.

The computer simulation theory is a philosophical thought experiment, where the point is that you can't really tell the difference. Creationism is different because it states a theory (the species did not originate over time from a common ancestor) which is flatly contradicted by evidence. Neither theory does of course belong in biology classes, but one is more wrong and stupid than the other.

Ask HN: How to price software for hardware/embedded projects?
Hi everybody,

I could use your help on the pricing subject.
I am in position to work on a custom software development for a hardware project. Software part of the project is the GUI and logic that will communicate with several hardware parts (for e.g. imagine a slot machine, or any machine that you interact through the screen).

My first option is to set a fixed price for the development.

But I know for a fact that hardware companies get their profits from the margin per device assembled.
So I was also thinking of setting a small price per device installed. (something like a licence fee) And then lower the initial software development cost.

But I don't know what price ranges are ok or what pricing models work in this field. Is there a norm in the industry, some precent of the device selling price?
I think in the long run that this is a better option.

I would be grateful if somebody who has experience in this field could give some advice.

Thank you.

We have this weird idea in the US that the world changed fundamentally on 9/11/2001. But it didn't, really; the risk of terrorist attacks didn't skyrocket just because one happened. That doesn't really even make sense. It's us that changed. With that in mind, one question to have is, if the TSA stops terrorist attacks, where were all the attacks before 2001?

Certainly, there were some. But a) they didn't cause us to create the TSA anyway, b) they often involved bombs in luggage which isn't what we're talking about here, c) they usually weren't in the US anyway, and d) they were rare in any case. Even if the TSA were effective -- and it's clearly laughable -- it would still be massive overreaction to a very rare event.

It sounds like you've produced a solid, stable piece of software that's been actively used by 55,000 people. That's a comendable thing, and I don't think anyone can rightly fault you if you decide you'd like to be compensated to improve on it further.

My suggestion would be to have a premium version, but charge a minimal amount for it (especially considering your demographic). Your goal should be a high conversion rate of your existing user base at a very low price. I would suggest waiting to launch until you have a more expanded feature set though (image upload probably isn't enough, but if it supported multiple new features and multiple social networks, that should be an easy sell).
I remember React devs saying they always remember about that, so the whole library is designed to be easily detachable from the DOM, or whatever renderer you might be using. They're also kind of proving that now with ReactNative, and knowing what's coming in the next React versions it's gonna be even better.

Nice thing about React is that even after you remove the Virtual DOM it still encourages a really good model of programming and makes it effortless to build your app.

Chrome in Linux doesn't work too well, either. It has some memory leaks. I just switched to Firefox. Tab sync doesn't work too well, either. I've found that if I have more than 10 tabs or so opened in my phone, it won't sync all of them; it will only sync the ones it pleases. You would have to visit them one by one as to have them synced. Not to say that Chrome uses an insane amount of memory, almost two times the amount Firefox does (at least here in ArchLinux).
