Apple has access to API's that the rest of us don't and it's not so they can have more power than us.

Sometimes I wonder. It sounds like if an API change breaks your app, then your app is broken and should simply get pulled for that.

Furthermore, they tapped the flux guys on the shoulder and told them hosting their code with the instructions for people to sideload it themselves isn't allowed. https://justgetflux.com/sideload/

Don't confused Apple's infamously controlling nature with some desire to adhere to good development practices. It's just Apple being Apple.

The moderator of the now heavily censored (they've blocked many original developers along with the biggest bitcoin companies) reddit/r/bitcoin took donations a long time ago to build a forum and when the value shot through the roof he ignored anyone's pleas to give back the money - valued around $3 million at some point (I think). He is also one of the primary people threatened by an increase in blocksize as it will threaten the company he is involved in - blockstream. So there are some very plausible theories as to who would do something like that.
Its hard to determine something is a fad until is over.
Wow, have I stung such a bee with you that you're following the comment up a second time, in the wrong thread?

I've answered you in the other thread.
There isn't a technical solution in the world that can prevent end users from writing encrypted text files to their phones using a one time pad. Would all devices that let you store text become illegal under this law?
> Is it a DHCP thing

That threw me for a second. "What would DHCP have to do with HDMI?". Clearly you must have meant HDCP, which I suspect is what the GP was referring to.
Or are you arguing against mentioning SO at all?

Not really arguing against that because I think it's fair.
Playing devil's advocate I can't see how it is legally justified though.

It would be interesting if that part would be enforceable.

Yes, this is the interesting question.
Yup! COM() is a varargs macro that actually assembles the data in memory --- the actual word layout is not the traditional one Forth uses (to make it C friendly). But the end result is a linked list of Forth words in exactly the same format that user words have, which the user dictionary extends.

It all means that the C source can just be compiled in a single step --- gcc -o fforth fforth.c --- without needing a precompilation stage, which makes it vastly easier to manage.

It's even portable!
Since we probably shouldn't have two articles about this on the front page, and the current one is the original source, I guess we'll treat the NYT piece as the dupe.

I'm looking very closely at Phabricator, it looks quite nice.
I will have to leave too if Netflix succeeds in blocking such services. Between The Netherlands and Germany (two neighbouring countries) the offering of shows is significantly different. It sucks having to figure out which shows to choose for replacements of the exciting stuff you were watching before. Frustrating how territorial licensing deals are still made in a world that seems to be getting smaller, with couch-surfers, businessmen and average Joes/Janes crossing borders ever more often.
We created ZenHub - https://www.zenhub.io/ - specifically to solve these problems.

The addition of a task board in the GitHub interface allows you to communicate both the priority and progress of GitHub issues.

While adding a +1 button to comments allows feedback without clutter.

Best of all, it is free for Open Source :)

You can read more on why we created ZenHub here - https://medium.com/axiom-zen/introducing-zenhub-2-0-c352a12c... and get in touch with us via our public support repo here - https://github.com/zenhubio/support

I hope we can help improve your GitHub experience!
Since https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10905118 is also on the front page and is the original source, we've demoted the current thread as a dupe. But both are worth reading.

That's a beautiful font! Thanks for sharing!
I don't like this characterization that you're "not allowed" to distribute compiled code to sideload. That act involves two parties: the people who made the app, and the person who installs it.

Apple decided to butt into this simple transaction and shut it down, despite the fact that they are not involved. But that's not so much "not allowed" as it is "displeases a big company that throws their weight around a bit too much."

My main goal in responding was to acknowledge the issues. This is just the start of the process, and by no means the end.

The next step, as you mention, is to bring the right people in. This is why I want to ensure this is raised with our teams inside GitHub to explore ways to rectify some of these concerns.
NSA releases first “transparency report” [pdf]
And now all your Elixir case clauses, in order to be "protected" and as something that will grow into "best practice", every lhs of `->` will have to be pinned (use `^`)...

How is that an improvement from, say, copy/pasting code^W^W knowing what you are doing when introducing a variable?
I mean, your functions are not meant to be too long anyway.

Oh and happy-case programming gets also noisy now, since you have to put pins everywhere (or bad state will propagate).

The point is that Eich made Javascript use syntax and idioms from Java from the very beginning and it wasn't just later evolution of the language to "fix" it that did this.
My first thought was someone with a financial interest in a company like Blockstream since they seem to have a vested interest in the status quo.

> Is this the same trend data Google is showing in location search engine results?

Very similar idea, but different source (4SQ app versus Android/Google apps). Also I'd imagine the 4SQ enterprise offering has a lot more ways to slice and dice the data so that it's useful for business.
Well you can shoot yourself in the foot with that thinking. I have a friend who told me she has something like 20 Stack Overflow logins because she can't remember the passwords to any of them so she just keeps creating new ones. I wonder how many other sites run into this issue? Are they signing up as many new users as they think?
Buzzy Social App Stolen Shuts Down Amidst “Concerns” from Users
“Airbnb takes privacy issues extremely seriously,” said an Airbnb spokesperson via email.

Which is apparently why they let the couple who surreptitiously taped Mrs. Schumacher to continue to rent their apartment through their service.
The author's comments on needing to have a better understanding of the state of the world that surrounded any particular person or event rings true to me. It's one of the reasons I enjoyed Jacques Barzun's From Dawn to Decadence, a sprawling historical account of western civilization from 1500~2000. He deliberately de-emphasizes the exact dates of things, aiming more to show the significant events within the surrounding "mood" of the general time and place in which they occurred. Barzun also emphasizes that "a reader of history must be a reader of histories" due to the perspective or bias that any writer of history is bound to impart upon the work, just as the author suggests.

While I found the second chart showing lifespans as vertical bars to be interesting, I think that it doesn't quite do what the author set out to do. I can see that these three or four people were alive at the same time, but it doesn't so much help me to understand how what person A did might have influenced person B to do whatever it was they are remembered for, or even if the influence was the other way round. A might have been a late bloomer and B a prodigy. With lives frequently spanning half a century or more, there's a lot of room for interpretation. I am not complaining: this is an interesting proof of concept. It could be improved, I think, by adding additional markers to the lifelines for each person's achievements, and also perhaps having by bands of color in the background showing large-scale events such as wars, disasters, etc. Of course then you'd get into the mess of sorting out e.g. how much influence a war between England and France had on contemporary events in Germany, possibly necessitating more complications in the visual display.

In fact upon first seeing the lifeline chart, I thought of Barzun's big book and how handy it would be to have an interactive version of the chart where I could click on a lifeline, or a defining moment, and be shown the relevant section(s) of the book, or really any number of books. In that respect it would function as sort of an index for finding specific historical events and understanding their surrounding contexts. If I were a technically-minded historian working today, I'd set my sights on implementing something like this. A visual, clickable exploration of history seems like something lots of people would get into.

Can you study your way to happiness?
I you do a job for me, and I don't pay you, then most people will agree that I really ought to pay you, and that you were wronged and that I am morally and legally obliged to mend my ways. You could convincingly explain that situation to a five-year old.

Now consider the perspective of someone who has the disposable income to pay for digital content, and is willing to support content producers, but gets told that his $10 is not as good as the $10 from someone from another country with a similar standard of living. This is acceptable with physical goods, where transport and stock have to be taken into account, but with digital content and today's Internet speeds it is hard to garner any sympathy.

So we are left with a choice: don't watch that show, or download it illegally and watch it. It is quite hard to convince people that by downloading the show illegally, you are now depriving a content owner in some foreign country of income by not being able to sell the local rights to that content for as good a price to a local distributor; if one can be found at all, who might sell that content to you in your country, or not, or only for a much higher price on DVD or BluRay, depending on their whim and abstract factors such as the local digital content market and the actions of competitors, and…

Good luck convincing these new pirates of their moral wrong.
I happen to be an acquaintance of Rachel Myers, and while she does do not-for-profit stuff outside of work, do you have some evidence that she's a "social impact employee" there? It's not obvious on her Twitter/Github profiles.

I don't want to assume any motive to your comment, but I think it would be a cause for concern if the world at large assumes that women/minorities are hired strictly for their "social impact".
I do love that John's blog doesn't actually use jQuery itself (likely because it's not needed in this instance). Or any javascript for that matter, other than analytics...

> Torrenting takes hours, makes the internet unusable in the whole house, and the quality is much worse.

You may have results like this, but I would guess that you're in the minority.

For me personally, well seeded 6-8GB movie takes an hour at most, usually less. I can still play online games, watch other streams online, browse, etc. and with other people using the same internet connection in the house doing the same things, and not have any noticeable slowdown. Full 1080p with AAC or DTS audio seems like higher quality to me than what Netflix provides.

The only upside Netflix has is the instant streaming, but if you're patient and can wait a bit for some downloads, or maybe run them at night or while at work, then this is a non-issue. Also you can just connect a TV to your computer.
But why should people care? You've created it, you've released it, it's out there. Bits are copied for free. People usually are nice enough to pay you for it, but if you (or your middlemen) are not willing to give it to people who want to pay for it, then they'll find another way to see it.

Few things that are crucial to this:

- digital content is copyable for pretty much free by its very nature;

- we're talking about copying, not stealing

- we're talking about information, creative content, which kind of works differently than physical items

Expecting to create a piece of information, give it to some people and then still being able to retain exclusive control over that thing is what sounds entitled to me. It infringes on other peoples' right to process what reaches their senses and do whatever they like with it.

Intellectual property is an ugly hack created to make creative works compatible with market economy. The absurdity of that solution finally became visible as the marginal cost of copying the medium dropped to almost zero. Yes, we need the hack because many content creators need to get paid (and to believe they will get paid if they invest time in creating), but ultimately it's a problem with the economy. Ultimately, we should strive to fix it on the economy side, and get rid of the IP altogether.

Also, if we're comparing divine rights with each other then sorry, culture > capitalism. Humanity is better-off this way.
> How do you quantify a failure?

I think that Hearn's article can answer that for you.
Take a look at Glassdoor. What you're saying is accurate, but where Google, Facebook, etc really take off is in equity compensation.

In my case at Goog, I started off with a small equity grant, vesting over 4 years. So after the first year, I had equity vesting every quarter.

Assuming you do ok/well, you'll get refresher grants every single year after that.

Fast forward 3 or 4 years, and you have 4 separate grants vesting every single quarter.

This quickly adds up to 50+K a year, and that's where these numbers come from, even if they're not reflected in your base pay.
>>It's naive because the vast majority of small companies crash and burn, with no impact whatsoever.

Let me tell you a lot of people prefer to be the participant and fail disastrously than being audience all their lives and clapping/cheering for others.

If you take a moonshot aim and fail, you are going to end up far higher than the anybody else who is doing the normal routine.
I personally prefer someone to at least acknowledge someone now owns the issues than to wait in silence while they gather the right people and formulate a concrete response. That doesn't happen quickly in some cases and the silence can exacerbate the issue, which ironically is why this hit HN in the first place.
So 20 dollars for a case and a preinstalled botnet?

If features are not supported by software that wasn't designed to include them, that does not make it "broken".

Similarly, if my adblocked browser doesn't serve every desired ad or malware, that doesn't make my browser "broken", either.
Thanks for the suggestion, I didn't knew about it. After a quick read, it seems to be a very interesting alternative.
On top of all those very reasonable points, they are building a class. Some characteristic that may be desirable in one, ten or a hundred members of the class may not be desirable in every member of the class. For example, what if you took in all people who were interested in pursuing degrees in mathematics? The math department doesn't have the facilities to teach all those students and the upper class history classes are going to be empty.

It's a matching problem as much or more as it is a ranking problem.
Offering up a loaf of bread pre-sliced isn't rocket science either, but someone has to have the idea first, and executed it in a way that other people say "Wow why didn't I think of that before." or "Huh, I could really find this useful."

I get that you were joking, but this really is no joke. In California we're currently trying to get an affirmative right to sleep written into our laws, and we've failed to advance it two years in a row. And in the meantime cities in the U.S. are working really, really hard to find new and innovative ways to make it illegal to not pay rent or a mortgage.

It's true that everyone needs somewhere to live, and I really, sincerely think that public land should act as a fallback. Currently, the fallback is jail, and that isn't working.
in most torrent clients, you can adjust transfer speeds and number of connections... of course that won't make torrent transfer go faster but it may make your Internet connection usable again.
It's still not obvious whether or not bitcoin is economically secure.

With ETFs and other instruments, a mining cartel can potentially spend less money performing a 51% attack than they can make from a massive short sale of the currency.
> Hi I'm the author, and I find it surprising that this has received 60 upvotes, but 0 comments.

As one of those 'silent upvoters' and just speaking for myself, think of it as 'speechless'. I wrote a pretty basic kernel which used memory mapping but without virtual memory. Explaining those concepts to someone else is pretty hard and your live animation would have simplified quite a few discussions I've had on the subject if I had had access to it the better part of 2 decades ago. So thank you very much for this work, consider applying similar techniques to visualizing what happens to a running program as it allocates memory and frees it again for various parts of the programs life-span.
> However, we argue that double-spending by a cartel has a limited payoff

I find this "cheating the system is against your rational self-interest" argument to be very unconvincing. The whole point of the proof-of-work system is to allow for a decentralized and trustless system. If you are going to trust the miners with more than 50% of the network than you might as well centralize the ledger and stop burning coal to mine transactions.
The whole f.lux thing didn't occur too long ago.

Just for reference: f.lux first released an app for iOS in 2011. So there's been four years, half of the entire lifespan of iOS.

"Culture fit. Does their personality match the company’s values?"

Culture fit means demographic group membership, it has nothing to do with values or whatever, but I'm sure they didn't want to open that can of worms.
My prof used to joke that, whenever he'd discuss fovea and periphery, that if we had a fovea the size of our full field of view, we'd need a brain the size of an elephant to process all that information. It's interesting how we're very sensitive to sudden changes (thus movement) in our periphery, but are so bad at classifying/identifying static imagery.

I remember reading about right eye and left eye dominance. Where they'd keep an image on the screen saccade invariant (ie, compensate for any saccades that were made). Slowing moving a letter/character/word/whatever to the edges of the participant's field of view and asking when the character was no longer legible. This happened surprisingly quickly, but at different positions for the left eye and right eye for pretty much all participants..
Worst case is you lose your equity/downpayment, which can be 20% or more of the value.
Is there any talk of installing some kind of guideline along existing roads that would help navigation or vision? Something like a bright line or a buried magnetic (or radio?) 'rail' for the cars to follow? I've read that vision is still a big challenge in poor conditions.
I guess it has been too long for me... what fees were these? SAT/ACT fees? I don't recall there being any fee for actually filling out the application form and sending it in?

Nevertheless, if schools have any control over the "front-end" fees, they might ought to start by eliminating those. Knowing that one needs to send an email like that is also a barrier of a sort.
It's the reverse. At some point people got so entitled as to believe they could control information products (like songs, stories, literature - and later, thanks to progress, pictures). Moreover, they've managed to codify those protections into law, so that the police could become their enforcement arm.

The right to participate in local culture (and thanks to the Internet, local often equals to global) is something core to society. Thinking you can prevent people from exercising that right is being entitled.
I would've spit my coffee up as an investor back when they told me they're ditching check-ins. That was such a terribly bad move, caused so many users to forget them, really Crowley should've moved all the way out.

It was one of those "we're going to be like steve" and do some jerk product design move, but it wasn't like steve in that it failed.

Rule #1 for the net: if you ever get so incredibly lucky as to define a verb (like google it, or tweet that), like they had with check-ins but we just didn't get to fully grok it and then they whacked it ... grow that like gold.

They should've built out check-ins as this powerful "where am i now" related kind of thing .. it could've been a real mobile local gem beyond anything today. Think the star trek moment where you scan where you are and it tells you all sorts of interesting things, useful utility links, cool data.

But instead they called it "swarm" and made it all about your bro's ... maybe that says something about Sf? oh wait they're in NY.
Is it possible to get the readme w/o downloading the entire thing?

They state "The readme file for this dataset is located in part 1 of the download. Please refer to the readme file for a detailed overview of the dataset.", but I only see an option to get the full 1.5T.
Apparently I can reply now, repost just so it shows up in your comment thread

I remember seeing a video of a robot that would attend to different parts of a scene based on the "saliency", in the sense of novelty, of its features. I can't find the specific video, but I think the model running the robot is related to:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3930917/
The paper is quite dense, as it describes biologically plausible models of dopaminergic systems, which makes the model quite complex as well, but it's interesting because this system is considered quite 'low-level', no cortex involved.
I'll add more if I can find any..
