Basically, the value proposition seems to be something like Groupon. Humble Bundle will become a place known to offer low priced games. People will go there in order to find low priced games. The fact that so many people go there will attract game developers to offer their games there at a huge discount hoping to get their name out and get some traction. I am not sure it will work but I am pretty sure this is their plan.
"The big question, of course, is how Humble Bundle itself plans to make money. Buyers can 'tip' the company when making purchases, but clearly that isn't the business model."

Why not? It seems pretty smart to me. The average purchase price is $5.
I've been less and less impressed with Vice articles. I'm not a particularly good critic, and I'm certainly no writer, but this seems pretty empty. If we do collapse into a dystopia, we'll do it with or without the Apple Watch.
Lewis Carroll also wrote an excellent essay using digestion as a metaphor for reading.

Forward transparently your traffic using iptables. So, if you use sshuttle on your gateway all the tcps connections to the specified subnets are forwarded using ssh for the gateway and all the machines using that gateway.

You can do this

# sshuttle -v -r user@host:443 10.0.0.0/8
# ssh user@10.0.0.138

Connections to 10.0.0.0/8 goes through ssh automatically.
Yep it's a pretty close replica of the love2d site. I have been in contact with the love2d people and, although the actual author of the site has been sick and away from the internet, the group as a whole seems ok with it.

I wasn't trying to be sneaky or anything - it's obviously a variation on the love2d theme.
Nah, I doubt it. Inflation in China's been a longer term trend.

Reads fine on my mbp screen, I'm impressed.
This is exact sentence i'm afraid i would say someday, after i'll release next my app for android : Now what ?

The market is huge, how can our apps find their way up ? One solution i can think of is to release it for free and only if it get popular, add a paid version. But I don't think this is affordable for lots of project.
Any other ideas ?
I find myself taking screenshots of websites all the time. Pages that I find visually interesting, because I've had far too many experiences where I went back and it looks like a completely different website. Or sometimes to remember information that is shown on a website for only a short period of time, like holiday layouts and fun coming soon pages. And I even take screenshots of my own webpages so I can look back at it later.

I know there's archive.org, but they take too long to archive content when all I want is a screenshot of the recent past of a webpage.

So I created SnapRobot as a side project. It was built in less than a day.

You feed it a URL and leave it. SnapRobot monitors the page, taking screenshots whenever changes occur. You can come back whenever you want and relive pages of the past. :)

In the example, you can see how the top Hacker News items evolve over the course of a day.

Currently, any HTML change triggers a new screenshot so it works better for websites that don't dynamically generate different code on every request. No query strings for now.
So 1pm EST =\

I'll check it tonight, seems neat and to me $99+$60 is a better deal then $499+$60 ;p
if you are running sshd on port 22 this will show you all connections going into it

sudo lsof -i :22

you can then reverse what people are doing based on the pids lsof gives you.

[edit: using ps ax | grep sshd also works but you can't see where they are connecting from. [+1 daten]]
I don't know, the article seemed so badly reasoned from my perspective - a very narrow Western view. In my country (and in my religion) the Swastika is seen everywhere and it is no way used in relation to the Nazis at all. Ironically, the fact that it is such a hated symbol, I learned from the Internet. Maybe he's being reasonable because the target audience is indeed Western. Hmm. But from my seat, I find this really lame.
My favorite email app is Unsubscribe, a button that removes you from email lists. It's quick and easy.

The email space is putting out some cool innovations that I think is changing the relationship users have with email. But, I still can't wait for the day, email goes away.
Ubuntu Netbook Remix works for my mini9 and its scant resources.

I mean designing the experience. How does it work, what goes where, what's important, etc. The "how does it look" is further down the line from there but still integrally connected. I find that the best product designers are people who can follow the rabbit hole all the way. From thinking about the problem to figuring out how many pixels the border should be.
Left, right; both look the same to me.

And viewership numbers rule the media, which isn't that great a thing either.
> We've been around since 2014 (before Patreon!)

Patreon was announced in 2013 I think. But Snowdrift.coop still was started first, as the first rough prototype proposal was up online in early 2013 actually.

(This is a bit internal feedback, I'm the co-founder of Snowdrift.coop who was more involved at that early time)
Writing no code and configuring nothing is better than writing code and configuring things.

That's more time you get to spend on your actual app.

Writing code and configuring things leads to responsibilities and technical debt. So rely on well known, free and easy solutions until you can't. This is the way.
Australia spends 10.5% on health.

US 17.5

Is the increased level of care worth 7%

In Canada it's 11.5 so 6%,extra.

In Canada the waiting lists for mri and other advanced testing can be long where the same tests/operations can be done as a walkin option that day in the US.
I like this vision, but I think it's going to take a while for it to really take hold. EHR are too embedded in the reimbursement structure of healthcare.
That sounds a lot like Geany

Why would that be relevant to if it gets a CVE or not?
Precisely this :)
RE prerendering: yes, completely agree - puppeteer would certainly be heavy for dynamic SSR and I wouldn't suggest that. Perfectly suitable for build-time prerendering though, which is what I've been focused on so far in this area with Synergy.
When the police act as though cameras were the equivalent of guns pointed at them, there is a sense in which they are correct

I've never heard of a policeman acting as though a camera was the equivalent of a gun. If you disagree, try pointing an actual gun at an armed policeman and see what happens.

These anti-camera laws are stupid, but the analogy to guns is silly. A better analogy would be "are cameras the new penises", because pointing one of those at a policeman will get you cautioned and possibly arrested but not shot.
I'll look into what's happening, but in general it's expensive / complicated to delete from edge-caching CDNs.

If there is a photo that gets constant traffic, the edge caches will do their job of keeping it around. Poking around the Googles, it looks like this URL has been reposted a lot, which creates a self-fulfilling prophecy and will keep it around in cache.

Sure, just like most other platforms. Pirating apps on the iPhone is trivial as well.

His return rate seems high; mine is less than 10%. No idea what my piracy rate is, and I don't really care. Although I would if my app required server resources that I was paying for.
If there's a high school or college grad looking for an internship/part time job in Santa Monica ping me.
Anybody who's in business knows that business is highly personal. After you spend too many hours and too much work on something you cannot help but care about the final results. Take the edge off Job's personality and you'd get a completely different person.

Given that Schmidt was on Apple's board of directors we can safely assume that he did not tell Jobs his plans. If he had, he never would have served on Apple's board. By joining Apple's board of directors Schmidt essentially promised he wasn't going to invade Apple's territory. Then he decided to do so anyway. So I think Jobs has every right to be upset with Google.

In my opinion Schmidt should never have posed as an ally and Jobs should never have accepted Schmidt on the board in the first place.
I kinda disagree with that, as anyone trying to do something new is being laughed at, in general.

I don't really care about the ideas, it's just frustrating to be laughed at every time to want to try something new. There's always something dismissive, some jealousy, some surprised inability to be humble while facing something strange or new.
Please don't be shallowly dismissive of other people's work and please don't post putdowns to HN.

People say the same thing about winter in the Northeast. Then when they see how convenient and freeing it is to ride a bike, they quickly learn to deal with the weather.
Given the choice between undocumented Java code and undocumented Clojure code... I'd rather take my chances with Java.
FWIW, I agree with you about the visceral recoil, thoughts about Hollywood practices not being ideal, etc. I'm not trying to claim that this state of affairs is good, just that it's basically identical to what we've had previously, and that the relevant laws don't appear to be affected by unprecedented scale or automation.

Passing laws to address this might work, but I think it would be difficult, and I would expect them to be challenged mercilessly. In order to actually work, I think this would require "Civil Rights Act" or "Equal Employment Opportunity Act" caliber landmark legislation, and I'm skeptical that this would be politically tenable any time soon.
This is anecdotal as well, but oh well here goes.

I have 5 kids. Yes you heard that right 5. They are aged 13, 11, 10, 8, and 6. They are all different with different personalities and different likes/dislikes.

When I go to a restaurant I get compliments on their behavior regularly. Out of all of them I can pinpoint very specific examples of how our discipline has taught them to be well behaved. I have some that I have no doubt could have been diagnosed as ADD. However without the help of drugs I have successfully taught all of them to control themselves.

I know that some of my children have more difficulty than the others sitting still or concentrating from observation. I've seen the evidence myself. However I have seen no evidence that it can't be controlled entirely through parental love, understanding, involvement and discipline.

Anecdotal? absolutely. However, it's not necessarily incorrect either.
He prolly meant in terms of design.
Learning to do things the App Engine way frustrated me at first, too, until I realised in a very roundabout way it was - as you say - teaching me how to engineer for scale.
These are awesome animations! I'll add this to Toolyo.

I'm creating a new category for these kind of items :)
I did not know of android-gpuimage until now so I don't have an opinion on this lib.
I had a look at the open source alternatives to RS for blurring (including stackblur) and they were all very amateurish (crashes or graphical artifacts in some pretty simple usecases). I ended up writing my own implementation.
I know...I cloned them last week.
Can someone enlighten me about the downvotes? If you disagree, please reply back. I don't see my comment as offtopic/distasteful so I just don't see the point of downvoting
For real. I think I've had to open multi-GB files in Sublime a few times. (And if not that, then certainly hundreds of MB.) Worked like a charm.
What points? Your text isn't really enough to pin down what you specifically meant.
Pretty interesting Matt, would you consider uploading to biicode (a C++ deps manager) so that C++ programmers reuse it in there projects?
Or you could try to explain what you mean? What was the point of the text in your opinion, and what is the stereotype being validated by discussing ice balls?
So some dogs simply don't belong in public spaces. It's the owners that bring them there.
No we don't. We like to have choices. You can click with your scroll-wheel or hold ctrl.
Chrome extensions can also inject code via a content script and gather local storage data. You can't control what extensions people are running.
There's the usual scaling problem with graphical representations.

The now-discontinued Blender game engine was an example of building a complex system by connecting up boxed with arrows. You could easily get to a few square meters of program, and then finding anything was tough.

Dynamicland PR: "Programs are flexible, and compose readily." So what do you compose? A functional block with ins and outs? What's the equivalent of a subroutine? That's where graphical systems usually fall down.
While you’re completely correct, I’ve also observed an anti-pattern where people become afraid to touch load-bearing code if it “works”, compounding over time into a brittle codebase and piles of hacks to work around shortcomings in infrastructure. Assuming it meets the risk/cost/reward trade-offs, I’ve found it’s preferable to rip the bandaid off and refactor ASAP, rather than allowing “fear-driven development” to take root. (Obviously, a robust test suite greatly lessens the risks.)
You're missing out in a big way.

std::unique_ptr & std::shared_ptr are amazing. If you're still writing new & delete, you're just making things harder on yourself. I'll still use raw pointers in C++, but only the a borrowing context. It massively simplifies ownership. No more reading docs to try and guess if this pointer being passed in or returned needs to be freed or not. If I own it, it's a unique_ptr. If I'm giving it to someone else, it's a unique_ptr&&. If I'm letting something borrow it, it's a raw pointer or reference.

Or I'll make my own smart pointer containers for allocations with special lifecycles, like per-frame allocations from a custom arena allocation that must not be destroyed with delete/free.

Why try to remember all your lifecycle manually, which is incredibly error prone and no you're not immune to mistakes here, when you can compiler-enforce it instead?
Know, soon.
PBS Kids is made by people optimizing for quality content.

YT Kids is made by people optimizing for marketing dollars.
Can confirm.

There is a strain of video (below) on there that is just like perceptual candy to kids. And there are LOADS of these videos in slightly different versions.

My own anecdote:

Our 2 year old found these videos (3 years ago): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7IsNFDtG4U&list=PLHZrFxrJbt...

At first we were like "seems fine, colors and shapes...keeps him engaged". After a month or two he could just stare slack jawed at these videos for hours, it was like he was being lobotomized, and begged for them constantly. It was clear that they didn't actually teach him anything, and he couldn't even remember anything salient from watching them. We turned them off and haven't let him watch since. Even things like watching looney toons is infinitely better because there is some base narrative, characters, problems etc.

In the city you should be close enough to the store that you just get the days groceries as you go by.

The lack of affordable 2500sq ft apartments is the big failure. It doesn't cost that much more to build them, and so rent shouldn't be any more than a house payment ($1500/month!). If that doesn't exist it is because zoning won't let them build it. (or more likely they can, but why do that when you can get more $$$ from 3 800sqft apartments each at $1000/month. Until the high profit apartments are filled nobody will build the ones families would actually live in.

Or to put it a different way: it isn't 1880. People have always wanted more space, now with cars we can afford it in the suburbs.
I'm not sure what the one has to do with the other.

In one case, a power plant near Rockford is associated with elevated levels of tritium, and Obama, a freshman senator with almost no regulatory affiliation to nuclear power generation, attempts to pass a bill requiring more stringent notification of possible radiation leaks. Meanwhile, state and federal regulatory bodies that Obama has no oversight over take over the incident, fine the plant, and create more stringent notification requirements.

In the other, Obama, now elected president, is forced to decide whether to allow an allegedly expert company with severe conflicts of interest to coordinate and direct the mitigation of the largest environmental disaster the country has ever faced, a disaster they themselves caused, or instead create from whole cloth the federal capability to coordinate and direct that mitigation.

The only thing these two stories have in common is that there's no "good guy", "bad guy" template to lay over them, unless you want to try for "cheap and inevitably unsafe energy bad", "bicycles good".
I was always a big fan of self-development, but only in the last 2-3 years did I do a decent job of acquiring new and meaningful skills, knowledge - I mean on my own, outside of school or workplace. In 2013 I got into public speaking, in 2014 I learned how to create (quick & dirty, but working) webapps using Rails.

But in general I'm sick and tired of most online and offline courses. I find even most of the better MOOC courses too boring, or lacking in actionable knowledge, effectiveness.

I wonder, what how other people learn, what are their challenges, preferences? If you have 6-7 minutes, please tell me about your learning habits and experiences in the survey, or in a form of a comment.

Thanks, and Happy New Year :)

Cryogen works for Github Pages as well and it's a lot easier to get running.
It doesn't have to know the private key, just the public one, woth the private being on the virus-owner's side.

Furthermore, it's possible to encrypt each file with a different key so one public key would only deceypt one file.

Oh, and a fun fact - with the newest cryptography algorithms it's even possible to modify the files without knowing what they contain. If I'm not mistaken it would even be possoble to create a software that can conpute checksums of files without knowing the file contents.
Can you back up your anecdote with more facts?

What kind of sick was your wife? What was her recovery like? What were the toxins you removed?
I saw that done back in 1999 with animated avatars, text-to-speech, market news, stock updates, etc. I can't find the details offhand but I believe it was a Bloomberg thing.
Virgin offer packages which don't require a BT Line. It may be that you are not cabled up suitably for such a deal (we used to pay our cable operator, now Virgin, for a telephone line which we could not get but they gave us 'free' TV which is what we actually wanted to buy).

http://shop.virginmedia.com//bundles/specials/affiliate/dual...

All other providers do require a BT line, though some people would say it's a landline phone line that you /always/ use...assuming you leave your router on.
If I'm using it right, it looks like more than 7.5 million papers were submitted to PubMed in this 10 year period. Only 0.01% of all papers were retracted and only 0.003% were retracted due to "fraud". This seems like an exceedingly small sample. I wish we could see more of the raw analysis (p-scores and the like).

I think the other result was more interesting: 53% of "faked" research papers were submitted by "repeat offenders", while only 18% of "erroneous" papers were. If you do this once it seems you are likely to do this again.

BTW, the abstract is at http://jme.bmj.com/content/early/2010/10/18/jme.2010.038125
Kickstarter campaigns are basically the modern day infomercials.

It’s all about having the perfect pitch video and impressive tram bios, getting shallow pro-forma coverage in all the tech blogs, and then name-dropping them all in order to bolster your image (along with the obligatory credulous pull quotes). Make sure your social media team keeps putting out updates, and don’t forget to add some ridiculous stretch goals for when you go viral.

Never mind that your team has never actually shipped a working product at scale before, and never mind that fulfilling all your reward tier posters and T-shirts will take nearly as time as delivering your actual product.

At least when you bought something off TV you’d actually get something. Sure, you’d have to wait 6-8 weeks for it to arrive, but that’s practically Amazon Prime compared to Kickstarter.
I have tried really hard to fall in love with LISP style languages. This includes implementing my own LISP interpreters/compilers just for fun. I also know enough Haskell (and Idris) to compare LISP style languages with the “opposite” end of the functional language spectrum. And I an the maintainer of a high performance functional programming language at work. In the end I still end up never reaching for LISP or Clojure when solving real world programming challenges. The key reason is that I am more productive with strong types. The same reason why I initially loved Ruby and then stopped using it the moment I tried to build anything bigger with it. I realise that not having types makes some people happy. That’s great. It just doesn’t make me happy.
SongKick is out of business??? Damn
That seems hard to enforce.

I mean, you can block the kernel level execve, but perhaps user space can be hacked to do a user-level execve. Just unmap and re-map the right pieces of memory, close the right file descriptors, do the right stuff with signal handlers and whatever not. No?

Look, Cygwin is able to simulate fork and exec on Windows, both of which are completely missing.

One thing that would put a damper on things would be disallowing executable mapping at all. But you can't just do that since it breaks shared libs. A mechanism that allows shared libs to be mapped executable and then drops the map-execute privilege wouldn't be secure. It would be annoying, but possible to bypass.

The only way it would work is if the entire process setup logic shared libs were moved into the kernel, so that the very first instruction that runs in a process is in a context that can no longer map any pages executable. Or else, it's still in user space, but the dynamic loader is specially privileged, and before dispatching the very first instruction in the loaded executable, it drops that privilege. Either way, so much for trampolines, JIT and other techniques). dlopen could not work either, unless it's moved into the kernel, and allows only "blessed" plugins.
Aren't buses better then subways for most places, given their lower costs and greater flexibility? Isn't this true for most of Europe, also? Or does the typical mid-sized city in Europe have subways like London, Paris, and NYC?
