Running a single JUnit test in Eclipse
http://owenou.com/2011/02/05/running-a-single-junit-test-in-eclipse.html
A lot of the test-driven developers may find it annoying to run a single JUnit test in Eclipse: if there is a test suite with multiple tests, when running a single unit test, either from the context menu of the code editor, or from the JUnit view, Eclipse seems to always insist on running the entire suite, rather than the single test. This post discussed the solution to this problem.

Realtime iOS Filesystem Monitoring – Installing and Using filemon.ios
http://www.securityaegis.com/realtime-ios-filesystem-monitoring-installing-and-using-filemon-ios/
For the longest time a big struggle with doing mobile application assessments on iOS has been monitoring applications as they drop files to the file system. There were definitely ways to do this but they involved taking snapshots of the application directory with tools like macrobber. This is less than adequate because some of these apps drop unencrypted files with sensitive data but later delete them as part of a functions cleanup. A realtime solution was needed.

Ask HN: International Credit Cards ?
I've been several months in Japan the past two years and I'm going for another two months shortly.
I'm holder of a Danish VISA credit card which I've been using extensively so far, since I don't like running around with a lot of cash all the time.
This however is quite expensive as every time I withdraw money from it I'm charged the equivalent of ~5 USD in VISA fees.
With a withdraw limit of ~325 USD per day this amounts to a fair share..

I've been thinking of finding a more international bank that might be able to offer a better deal, but I have no idea where to even start.

It might be worth mentioning I'm located in Denmark, and only hold a Danish citizenship, which might limit the selection of banks.

Can anyone recommend any possibly cheaper card/solution ?

Ask HN: What is it like to work as a software engineer at Flipkart?
I am going to attend an interview with Flipkart. and I would like to know answers to some specific questions.

2. Oncall - Do teams fix stuff they find in oncall the proper way before picking up new development effort?

3. Are deadlines cooked up by magic without any logic or is there some semblance to reasoning?

4. Within a team, how deep are the knowledge silos? (There are none when anyone with a few minutes of context transfer can pick up a task from someone else)

Makejs - combine and uglify your js assets

Hi there,

I'm launching a new venture and with my cofounder we want to contribute to open source community with our intern development.

To be honest, I've never contributing to OS community (shame on me) but more because I didn't know how to do that.

Well this is my second contribution in the last two day and I would love your thoughts or feedback.

Thank you very much!

PS : It's pretty fun to do that, even if I'm a bit affraid to show my code. But I'm sure I'll learn much more and much faster on this way :-)
Ask HN: Backing Up Non-Personal User Data on iPhone Apps--Where is the Line?
Recently the WSJ published an article lambasting iPhone and Android app devs for sending home usage data along with unique phone identifiers: http://on.wsj.com/fRFk9y

Lately I've been working on an iOS app that has strong local functinality but also backs up user data automatically, and for the sake of user convenience it doesn't seem sensible to make the user go through a registration process (so I just use UDID, no storing age, name, or location--just UDID). The data is used on the server side for machine learning and recommendation generation, as well as product improvement down the line. For example (and this isn't the actual app), you can imagine an app called iBookie that lets you store debts, interest rates, and days past due. The iPhone can calculate amount owed, set up payment reminders, etc, but it can also use a cloud service to calculate likelihood of payment with data collected from other iBookie users. Something like that.

I know that for web apps this kind of use of customer data is far more acceptable, or perhaps expected on the part of customers. I can imagine that if this kind of data transmission were ever "discovered" by customer advocacy groups, it could cause a kind of privacy firestorm. So, both ethically and legally:

1) Can carefully worded EULAs and Privacy Policies make this permissible? What are the resources available to craft or find pre-written agreements of this nature?
2) Should the user be given some kind of explicit prompt about this kind of backup, and might this bias data for cloud analysis? Or
3) Is it simply okay to back up the data provided that it isn't shared with advertisers and sensitive, identifying data are not stored? Maybe, say, as a necessary prerequisite for the app to function as advertised.
