If you're curious as to how the thermal energy is extracted:

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0038092X10...

Heat has generally been successfully extracted from the lower convective zone (LCZ) of solar ponds by two main methods. In the first, hot brine from the LCZ is circulated through an external heat exchanger, as tested and demonstrated in El Paso and elsewhere. In the second method, a heat transfer fluid circulates in a closed cycle through an in-pond heat exchanger, as used in the Pyramid Hill solar pond, in Victoria, Australia.

Is is just me, or are their docs kind of yuck/hard to read?

My biggest problem: way too much visual emphasis on 'GET' part and not enough on the actual URL. That has way more priority, to me.

Registering my LLC for an iOS Dev account with D&B was a breeze. I filled out a form, waited a few days and picked up the phone. I registered right when Apple started requiring DUNS and this was posted to HN http://blog.metamorphium.com/2012/12/03/apple-duns.

Did you happen to use Apple's DUNS lookup form? https://developer.apple.com/ios/enroll/dunsLookupForm.action

On a serious note, you do have a good point. I haven't read much of Dijkstra's work myself.

tl;dr Programming has been ignored because hardware has a much more visible payoff. The impact of computers and the innovation in hardware will "be but a ripple on the surface of our culture, compared with the much more profound influence they will have in their capacity of intellectual challenge without precedent in the cultural history of mankind." That is, the intellectual impact of programming is more significant than the impact made innovation on the hardware side. At least thats what I think what Dijkstra is saying.

Some gems:

Test driven development, 1972.

Today a usual technique is to make a program and then to test it. But: program testing can be a very effective way to show the presence of bugs, but is hopelessly inadequate for showing their absence. The only effective way to raise the confidence level of a program significantly is to give a convincing proof of its correctness. But one should not first make the program and then prove its correctness, because then the requirement of providing the proof would only increase the poor programmer’s burden. On the contrary: the programmer should let correctness proof and program grow hand in hand.

For loops have brain damaged us.

Another lesson we should have learned from the recent past is that the development of “richer” or “more powerful” programming languages was a mistake in the sense that these baroque monstrosities, these conglomerations of idiosyncrasies, are really unmanageable, both mechanically and mentally. I see a great future for very systematic and very modest programming languages. When I say “modest”, I mean that, for instance, not only ALGOL 60’s “for clause”, but even FORTRAN’s “DO loop” may find themselves thrown out as being too baroque. I have run a a little programming experiment with really experienced volunteers, but something quite unintended and quite unexpected turned up. None of my volunteers found the obvious and most elegant solution. Upon closer analysis this turned out to have a common source: their notion of repetition was so tightly connected to the idea of an associated controlled variable to be stepped up, that they were mentally blocked from seeing the obvious. Their solutions were less efficient, needlessly hard to understand, and it took them a very long time to find them.

Thank you! That splash screen slowed down development time so much. Add 3 to 5 seconds to every single build and run.

What are the answers? I can't even get past test one.

About three weeks ago.

I tried (but failed to) get it to run at all on OS X. We were able to get it to run on Ubuntu, but thats where it crashed after every three to four scrapes.

Ghost.py seems promising but is painful to work with. Installing the dependencies took about an hour (compiling PyQt itself took about 25 minutes). When we did finally get it working, PyQt would crash after the third or fourth scrape and would take between 15 to 30 seconds per scrape. Where we used it: https://github.com/createch/PriceChecker.py/blob/master/pych....

My advice to anybody looking to do headless webkit in Python: Don't use Ghost. Try out PhantomPy and try using the Selenium webdriver for Phantom.

We switched over the Selenium webdriver for PhantomJS and found it to be much more stable and fast. See this SO answer by another Ghost.py user who gave up: http://stackoverflow.com/a/15699761/854025. Where we used the Selenium driver: https://github.com/createch/PriceChecker.py/blob/phantom/pyc....

The OP is making a joke.

Why did you choose not to use HNKit from chpwn's news:yc? https://github.com/Xuzz/HNKit The way you do it right now seems like it would be terribly slow.

The API calls made by this app are slightly tricky. For the front-page posts, a call is made to http://hnsearch.com/bigrss and then the resulting xml is parsed to grab the unique IDs from each post. Those are then sent as a request to the actual API to get the posts. The comments, unfortunately, return as basically a totally unordered set. I create a linked list out of those, and then I turn it into a flat array based on the nested nature of the comments - so UITableView will render correctly.

Congrats! Unfortunately, your server isn't handling the load and the google cache is a SASS error. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:knsEMz3...

Got something more descriptive you can link to?

This actually isn't made with D3. If you look at http://hereistoday.com/today.js, it is all done in Canvas. Their code is fairly well commented, so start by reading through that. At the same time, Google around how to use Canvas for animation.

How it works: they bind the getPosition function the mousedown event, which in turn starts the appropriate draw function. They have 19 frames, each of which has its own draw function that draws rectangles. Every 1000/FPS seconds, the the update and beginDraw functions are called, which are responsible for tween effect.

One example of when goto is a good idea.

Why is Lua 5.2 so much faster than Lua 5.1? Lua 5.2 supports a new goto keyword. This is incredibly useful when doing this kind of compilation as it allows me to pass execution directly from basic block to basic block. Lua 5.1 doesn't have this, which means I have to fake goto using what boils down to a switch statement. This is much less efficient.
