They are correct that everyone should be using HTTPS. It costs as little as $12/year for the certificate, there's tons of tutorials on how to set it up in Apache, and there's only a couple of hundred sites in the world that need to be concerned with the performance hit (no, I doubt your blog is on that list).
Because you have to hit the server initially. While you could totally serve some JS, JSON data and a small HTML wrapper to kickstart the client-side code, just generating the page is a lot simpler and typically more efficient.

Then you have all the problems of a purely client-side application (dealing with deep-linking, bookmarks, back buttons, users with exotic browsers, search engines, etc). That stuff can all be dealt with, but all dramatically increases the complexity. Your "Hello World" quickly becomes complex and unwieldy.

I personally think the right way is probably a templating engine that can work either client- or server-side so you can generate whatever you need wherever you are.
1. Discount, used by both RDiscount and BlueCloth, supports limited use of classes in inline text via pseudo-protocols in link-style tags. You can also use inline HTML in markdown. I believe that the latter is what most people do.

2. You can do the equivalent of = in Haml filters by enclosing the Ruby in #{}. For example, where sign_up_path is a Ruby helper method:

:markdown
[Sign Up](#{sign_up_path})

Personally, in the past I've put large blocks of mostly-static content (eg, a TOS) in a erb template or partial. I now often use the markdown filter for things like help documentation in my sites.
Thankfully Apple didn't decide to go for the nuclear option and ban all gadget blogs, so we'll still be there live tomorrow.

I took a speed-reading course and read War and Peace in twenty minutes. It involves Russia. (Woody Allen)
That is an excellent poem, and I remember reading it before I was familiar with his work.

Now that I have actually read several of his books, I see how he was sort of a disaster as a human being:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Bukowski

I sort of have to agree with Modest Mouse on this one.
Lyrics from the song Bukowski:

"Woke up this morning and it seemed to me, that every night

turns out to be a little bit more like Bukowski.

And yeah, I know he's a pretty good read.

But God who'd wanna be?

God who'd wanna be such an asshole?

God who'd wanna be?

God who'd wanna be such an asshole?"

Not trying to take away from the poem, just trying to make the point that Bukowski was way more interested in writing things that make him seem like a "badass misunderstood writer who Keeps It Real unlike all of these other phonies who claim to be writers" than anything else.

Sound like any company founder you know?

Yet another datapoint that being someone who makes great art, and being someone you would want to be roommates with/married to, are not exactly related.

Ah, thank you for explaining that. I had thought I had heard about this in other printers as well.
if you're not trolling, you should do a reddit AMA. not sure how you'd get a gold star, though.
A fine and insightful essay. His remarks about Ireland are spot-on in terms of both the political mood and the economic considerations.
Having art in that same hierarchy as physics seems kind of beside the point. There are plenty of good physicists who wouldn't be able to pass an art course (and vice versa).
If you're getting into these kinds of considerations for Amazon packages, you should consider the added transportation and re-packaging they go through:

learning basic electrician skills for use in power outage/natural disasters. Everything in our world is powered by electricity, nobody knows how to help themselves in creating their own when the power goes off. Use of generator to power their house, basic setup and ops of batteries and solar panels, etc.
Context exists. His movies used stereotypes but never punched down at those groups, instead using such characters to mock bigots.

So yes. I can imagine such a movie today. And it would be funny as hell.

Wait! Actually this already exists as a TV show, it’s called I Am America and Cohen frequently portrays a caricature of a Jewish Mossad agent.
You're right of course -- however, I don't really like going off-road in rental vehicles
This looks more like an SUV alternative than a truck alternative, for either the legitimately eco-conscious (but not eco-conscious enough to buy used) or those looking for certain social signaling.
Using emojis feels a bit cliquey, in-groupy. It's an extra barrier to a new developer wanting to get familiar with the project or contribute a quick fix. And you know people are going to get emojis mixed up because different associatons come to mind for different people, so project committers are going to have to be diligent about noticing and correcting mistakes. For me, the effect is the opposite of the casual and inviting atmosphere I think they're intended to create.

I loved this feature in Windows 7, because all it did there was an exact substring match over the items in the Start menu. As a result, it was instant.

The Windows 10 one where it's trying to do a Bing search, look through the Microsoft Store for apps to buy and who knows what else is... I can see what they're trying to do, but if you have 24 years of ingrained habit of only using Start to launch programs it's annoying having the feature made so CPU and disk intensive to add options you don't use. At least Microsoft have put a lot of work into improving it. Using some of the early iterations on a slow spinning-rust laptop would frequently result in the process searching your installed programs timing out, leaving only the web search option.
It would be interesting for someone to port the Linux kernel’s ORC to user code. ORC backtraces are exact and more than an order of magnitude faster than DWARF.
You could probably get away with not knowing how to code, but even an elementary understanding helps you to know what is and isn't possible. Spend a week or two getting the fundamentals of programming (even if you won't be able to program very well at the end of that time), and you'll be in a much better place.

Try Mark Pilgrim's Dive Into Python. It's free online, and python is one of the better introductory languages: http://diveintopython.org/toc/index.html

Aside from that, search stackoverflow for variations of your question - it's been answered lots before!
In Chicago, where I'm located, this is our core problem too. It's all about that first round of winners. I think startup scenes really launch after the employees from the first big win sell _their_ companies.
> This should be their entry into the TV space. I don't know why they don't see this -- probably because their senior management is too old to take the gaming space seriously.

It's not an issue of age, Apple has never been interested in games; just look at Electronic Arts (founded by an former Apple employee in 1982 because of Jobs/Apple's disinterest in games on computers).
The "bad thing" is that this is being done over the objections of the people, and working around the normal democratic process. Basically, the State's leaders are calling all of the shots, when their constituents are saying "no."
If you choose to pay someone to speak on your behalf, you can't also complain about the price. I recommend learning to speak for yourself.
"That said, I don't think there's any way Apple wants to get anywhere near Comcast's awful customer service reputation."

Whilst I agree with you, it didn't stop them from partnering with AT&T. So there's that data point.

What's the problem with dividing the credit proportionally by the amount paid? If you represent 1% of the tax base, you also represent 1% of the borrowing, regardless of who that money ended up being spent on.

I agree with the parent that it is deceptive to not include that figure.

EDIT: Then again, it doesn't give a very accurate picture to those who are being subsidized heavily, so there are some downsides to that. If one could track the amount spent on each person from federal programs, that would be very interesting - how much your fellow citizens are subsidizing you might be pretty motivating or depressing, depending on how you look at it.
Perfect post. Absolutely spot on.

The easiest answer is that HN is frequented by many people whose main (and often only) job activity is software development, so they/we think that our plight is special.

I wonder if there is some hidden irony, because it appears to me that we sometimes assume that everyone else has a simple and straightforward job that we could probably automate.
I have considered my relationship with HackerNews to be over for quite some time. Right now I'm just seeing how far I can push it before I get banned.
That you vehemently disagree with me is WHY I AM SO FUCKING PISSED OFF! Everyone here uses the downvote button for disagreement because they're lazy fucking assholes who can't really approach my arguments.
This is the number one place for discussion about technology on the web, or perhaps anywhere. I'm very well qualified to talk about tech and tech policy. Yet my ideas are constantly shit on by a bunch of ignorant and dogmatic cocksuckers. I want to see just how long YOU could put up with this abuse before you FUCKING SPRUNG A GOD DAMNED LEAK IN YOUR BRAIN!
This whole "community" is insufferable and my actions are really a quite logical reflection of the kind of discourse that takes place in these forums.

At this point you're well past where going on tilt is indistinguishable from trolling, so we've banned your account. If you don't want it to be banned, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com.

I don't like banning users with minority views (assuming you've described yourself accurately) because it's important for HN to have a wide spectrum of opinion—but only among users who can contain themselves within civil bounds and follow the rules here. You're doing neither, and it isn't the community who's to blame.
Yep, you'll get better.

In the meantime you should pick up a few organizational practices. For example before starting a tricky piece of code I like to list out as many edge cases as I can think of (this is like TDD, but you don't get tests at the end). Or when you're trying to debug something make a list of every scenario you can think of that will lead to that bug. In time this will sink in and you'll automatically know where to look when something unexpected happens.
Same reason it's only on android, I believe it uses some API specific to chrome & android. Not sure exaxtly what, though.
The article mentions someone giving a tutorial on linux drivers and someone building a USB thermometer(quite tangential to the story). I've been interested in this topic for quite a while but have found it a bit inaccessible.. can anyone point at a good book or simple project I can work with to develop my chops? I'm pretty handy with Arduino and RasberryPI. But I've never written any code in kernel space and want to satiate my curiosity.

Thanks in advance if anyone replies.
I love how this article may be from 2000, but I didn't realize it until he mentioned CVS and checked the date. It's really awesome that a tech article can be brought back up 13 years later and still manage to be relevant.
pg's essay titled "The Word Hacker" [0] is also a nice read.

Talk to lots of dentists first. And find out how much better your software has to be for them to switch. You also need to think about data transfer from the old app etc. It might surprise you how hard it is to compete with a shitty but already established solution.
Richard Stallman has a policy of putting his non-engineering works under a non-libre license (CC-BY-ND 3.0) [0] [1], so maybe he wouldn't have a problem with this non-libre game as the underlying code is libre, just not the assets.

In my opinion, this is one of the problems with Stallman's "moral authority" approach to the FSF. I would very much like to hear about these cases where a game's source is libre licensed but not it's content and see what Stallman actually has to say about it.

Not for nothing, but there are many network/online games that have both source and content libre licensed. Here are a few:

* Teeworlds - https://www.teeworlds.com/

* Minetest - https://www.minetest.net/

* Battle for Wesnoth - https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth

I'm sure there are many others of note but those are just the few that I have at least some passing familiarity with.

Surprisingly, the proposed bill exempts gyms and health clubs, which have some of the worst cancellation policies.
I didn't say corporate lobbying was a fiction, I said corporations as independent entities are a convenient fiction; corporations are tools through which individuals exercise power, not real entities that have power of their own.
I'm not sure how the fact that it's a server-side change makes it ok. I think that everyone would agree that turning off congestion control entirely on the server side would be bad and would negatively impact other flows.

The question, then, is whether this change is significant enough to increase internet congestion (and therefore packet loss for others). This is a subject of heated debate at the moment.
All the more surprising that the Apple Watch keeps getting better —- despite no real competition in sight.
It would be interesting to see an ISM neighborhood mesh network for broadcasting this kind of thing. With modern openly-licensed codecs you should be able to get decent music quality in 16kbps or less, so a half-duplex channel at 512kbps could carry 32 concurrent transmissions. With mesh nodes every 500 meters, you can use four nodes per square kilometer and spare the mobile nodes from spending battery on forwarding packets when they're not plugged in, or even transmitting signals. If you build the network on a for-profit basis, you can subsidize distribution of
$20 radios from broadcasting fees. Is there an equivalent of RTL-SDR for pocket-sized projects yet?

Technology has the potential of flattening the social hierarchy somewhat. Or more likely it gives some an out even if they can't get the social status they want -- like making it easier for one to live a life cut off from immediate social circles (and status competition). Anonymous online association is an example that comes to mind.
If facebook doesn't want to comply with such a law, then they shouldn't do business in such places.

They should be made to respect all the laws smaller businesses are forced to respect, no exceptions.
It actually would be for several reasons, which I could outline if people are interested (but I suspect they are not, so I will not go to the effort per-emptively). Also yes, there have been a number of bugs specifically due to both dynamic typing of the code and the dynamic data structures (msgpack, basically JSON) used.
While I don't think I would confuse the sensation with anxiety, it kind of breeds anxiety. I always feel my heart beat, both from the chest, blood vessels and by small "muscle spasms" throughout my body, is there any substance, preferably legal, that can subdue this to some degree?

I'm not having high pressure or high resting pulse and it's so severe that, while not externally visible, causes for example a squeaky bed to squeak in rhythm with my heart beat.

I've had a prescription for Atomoxetin and it had some "body calming" effect but in some sense amplified the aforementioned effect.

Just to add to the two very insightful replies you've already got, yes, nuclear power could have been a great contributor on the fight against Global Warming, 30 years ago. And yes, it is a shame that "environmentalist" movements made so much noise that they ensured we took the most harmful possible path. Those movements should be shamed, and very loudly so because they still didn't give up on fighting improvements and waste the popular focus on useless feel-nice ideas.

But, well, today is not 30 years ago, and the same way that nuclear power never could be the complete solution to carbon based fuels, today it is too late for them to even be a large component of it. So, today pushing for nuclear does more harm than good.
We[1] built borg into our environment[2] as soon as it was stable, release software. In the years since, it has (ironically) supplanted use of rsync as the de facto standard that our users back up to us with.

As one of our users have said[2], borg is "the holy grail" of backups as it does everything rsync always did, and produces remotely encrypted backups that the provider has zero insight into.

It also does not have the inefficiencies that the older, duplicity software has.

If you are willing to go without (borg specific) technical support and do your retention with borg instead of our zfs snapshots, there is a special, discounted rate available.[4]

Chances are that Bing and Windows Phone will never be pulled. They are there because Microsoft has to be in certain markets, regardless of actual performance, in order to sell its technology stack as fully-featured and comprehensive. In the same way, Xbox will never be pulled.

Microsoft can drop the occasional service, but they rarely run from big platform bets. Most above-mentioned products were small fish or even just websites -- with the exception of Silverlight (but that's because in-browser media plugins as a category have been basically obsoleted across the whole market) and Zune (again, mp3 players have been basically obsoleted), they don't really sit on the same shelf as Office, Windows, Xbox, Windows Phone, Bing, VisualStudio or SQLServer.
The reason I leave is almost always the same: boredom and lack of actual interesting, challenging work.

I meant that pro sim racers are generally faster than pro drivers at sim racing, not that the simulation times are faster than the real times.
I wish you luck with that strategy. Almost every historical US rival was smaller was isolated (no solid allies), from about 1880 until 2010.

No, but it does a good job of explaining the "flow" of a recursive function. It's like doing a manual trace of factorial(4) without needing to know about coding.
That's been done though. Pretty much everything they rank for is from self-voting, manipulation that is contrary to the "democratic nature of the web" that Google wants to leverage. There are plenty of queries that demonstrate that, ones that Matt has indeed been shown.
This is off-topic, but I have never experienced the "flow" you mention but I've had a decent career so far. I'm not the best or anything but I've done well in terms of promotions or projects shipped.

I've never lost track of time coding like you say - I stop at 12:30pm for lunch and then at 5:00pm to go home. I've always wondered if I am doing something wrong or maybe I just like programming enough as a job.
