Is there a way, using something like the virtualization api on OS X, to have a fully separate browser with no write access to the file system? Looking for something like incognito mode, but with stronger sandboxing, but without some of the flash api restrictions that it has.
Techcrunch article you refered to, mentioned Instapainting is YC Backed company. Quick look at CrunchBase says "The company is backed by Y Combinator and Start Fund (SV Angel and Yuri Milner)."

I thought the site was about self funded single developers? I am missing something?

Either way congrats and best wishes.

GlueList – Fast New Java List Implementation
Nobody mentions 'meet women' [1]. Maybe too simple but from my perspective an important part in this equation.

Meeting women is a bit like doing sales. it's more of an outgoing activity and being extrovert. So rather the contrary of coding. This is refreshing, gives me balance and a nice change to my day to day life as a coder.

[1] For the sake of verbal simplicity, I use the term 'women' for people of the opposite gender or the gender you are into. And also for the sake of simplicity and decency, I use 'meet' for all kind of interactions.
In 2016, a browser that needs not only an account registration, but a registration disguised as a "beta invite" (i.e. will send you download links to your email) is nothing but a bad joke and a waste of time.
I was on the verge of subscribing to it not too long ago till I did some research. It seems to have moved into a more sensationalist click-baitesque sphere.

A shame, but I suppose from their perspective it must have been a case of "if you can't beat them, join them".

I occasionally use Firefox's equivalent feature for creating a stock browser to troubleshoot things, but I'm not a webdev, so that's usually rather to troubleshoot whether my array of tracking protection, cookie blocker etc. addons is causing the webpage to irreparably break, or if it's just the webpage that is broken (or both).

For general use, I just don't have separate enough use-cases to weigh up against the organizational overhead. Most of my entertainment-stuff happens in RSS Readers anyways and the rest is pretty much just programming-related, so can all stay together in one browser profile...
That sounds awesome. I started indoor climbing... nothing like coming back to your keyboard and you can't feel your fingers.

Instead of using Hazel I directly set an "rm -rf ~/Downloads/*" at every restart. This way I only save files when I really move them instead of having them pile up there.

I wouldn't say I'm avoiding Oracle/newer releases; I do use them along with e.g. Solaris 2.6, Linux 2.x, 4.x, etc.

For many pen-testers and sys-admins we still need to understand, abuse, and support legacy tech in addition to the latest tech. Only a few days ago it was reported that the UK's Met police still have 27,000 PCs running Windows XP.

It isn't just about using the tools, but understanding and fixing problems encountered when running them; in this case using Illumos source as a guide with a number of other techniques to get the tool to work on the closed source version of Solaris.

In any case, I think there is a "hacker"/technical curiosity in playing with this stuff and understanding how it works, so it's fair game.

The piece by David Beaver seems quite poor to me. What sense does it have to turn the Orwell’s sixth rule (“feel free to break the rules if they stand in the way of plain speech”) into a paradox? Its meaning is obvious. Bashing the active/passive voice rule or the use of metaphors is pure nit-picking, as already said by iso-8859-1. (And “milquetoast simulacra”, WTF?)

I think you're giving a good example of how poorly people visualize and understand infinity. A Turing Machine's capabilities are based on its infinite memory and infinite computation time, yet you imagine it as "a bunch of monks scribbling" and immediately dismiss its capabilities.
Totally agree, and this is party why I hate coding tests for interviews. Writing good code starts with decent understanding of the problem and thought put into the design. Rushing that for some time limit is completely counterproductive.

Ask HN: What is the future of back-end development?
Apparently, WebAssembly will revolutionize the client-side development. The web apps will be very much like desktop ones: high performing, can be written in any language. At the same time they are cross platform, can be easily distributed, and do not require installation.

Meanwhile, every "builder of web3.0" who's trying to "fix the Internet", or "make the web faster, safer, and more open" is doing it in such a way that back-end development is not required. I.e. they are working on decentralized (either p2p or federated) universal back-ends that they assume should be used by everyone.

Do you believe that in future the back-end development as we know it today will be obsolete as everybody will use some p2p BaaS platform and the web-development will be all about implementing client-side apps?
Worth noting that ngrok is a non-free (trial-ware) service (all data is proxied through ngrok servers), whereas frp is self-hosted.

If you want a frontend framework than does the glueing for you and comes with a clean cli to setup new projects and generate views/controllers etc, take a good look at Ember.

You'll get a Hello World up in 30 seconds, upgrades are painless and you'll get the same rendering speed as with React thanks to the glimmer engine.

And thanks to the standardisation, all Ember apps have the same code and logical structure, which makes it easier to share code, and for developers to dive in new projects.

Short term practically, Facebook should just pay the AdBlockPlus "we've determined your ads are non-intrusive" ransom.

However morally an arms race seems to be the best mechanism to stop users ripping off ad-supported content. Ultimately ABP and similar software's main effect will be to ensure that ads look more like other content, come from the same CDNs, share similar URLs, etc, which is probably the opposite of what the rippers want. FB is better funded than ABP (for now anyway) so they can probably win that race.

At this point ABP will have to use natural language processing rather than DOM manipulation to actually determine what content is an ad.
Yeah, this is why if you want to serve more than 200rps on a dedicated box you pick something other than Ruby in 2016.

Oh I forgot about that one. It basically replaces the automatic transmission, starter motor/alternator, clutch and braking system with one simple unit. It has a total of six fixed gears in a planetary arrangement. Unlike a normal automatic transmission (which quite often fails in older vehicles) it doesn't change gears, so should last a lot longer.

Here are some good articles explaining how it works with diagrams:

I cannot fathom why we have large scale, highly efficient meat production facilities (remember: animal rights are only relevant to hippie tree huggers), yet there's virtually no commercial efforts to harness plants. The technology exists [0]; I don't understand what the practical or political problems are. I think small scale plant reactors have the potential of being able to be manufactured very cheaply; maintenance is probably the issue, but I'd like to hear from an expert in the field.

EpubPressJS: Bundle websites into ebooks using JavaScript
The reason why this happened is explained in the article itself; it's surprisingly common.

TL:DR; books are 'sold' by authors as intellectual property reproduction rights in distinct territories. Historically it used to be too expensive to ship lumps of paper across oceans, so the North American and UK/European English language rights were handled by local publishers in the USA and UK, and smart authors and literary agents unbundled them and sold them separately (rather than relying on a publishing house's sub-rights department to outsource the rights they can't make use of).

A smart author then goes and kicks butt so that their US editor talks to their UK editor (or vice versa), agree who's going to take lead on copy editing and typesetting, and then ensures that the author only has to double-check one version of the book as it goes through production. Note that publishers are usually happy to do this (except in KidLit/YA/educational material when tailoring to fit local national spelling/grammar rules is manadatory) because it's a lot less effort for one of them to just buy the InDesign files and slap a new cover on the product, and a lot less stress for the author (checking copy edits/page proofs eats multiple weeks during which the author would rather be writing the next book: you don't get paid ﻿for checking extra sets of edits).

Where this breaks down: author is inexperienced (as Mitchell was at the time), or one of the publishers fucks up (as also happened in this case), or there's a big dislocation in the schedule for the book and one publisher is left racing to catch up with another one to hit the same publication date (which they always try to do, in order to minimize the risk of retail imports eating their launch week sales -- the First Sale doctrine means you can't stop a customer from legally buying a copy in another country and paying for it to be shipped to them, and Amazon makes this really easy).

It's less of a problem these days as most of the major houses moved to their own brain-dead version of all-electronic production workflow in the past couple of years (mutter, grumble, Word change tracking and PDFs and email like it's 1995, baby). It took them so long because many authors are eccentric recluses who still insist on using fountain pens to make chicken tracks on paper, or WordStar 4.0 for DOS. (And, embarrassingly, you can't ignore them unless you want to kiss goodbye to GRRM's next installment in "Game of Thrones", for example: writing novels is one of the last truly artisanal art forms to still exist and have commercial potential.) Nevertheless, these cock-ups still happen even today: all it takes is editor A having a snit and refusing to talk to editor B, or having a wholly unscheduled stroke and being off-work for three months in a department that's already overstretched, and everything comes off the rails.

"...I have a very low faff-tolerance threshold..."

Love that. I do some work as a fiction editor and I'm often amazed at how calm authors are about quite large changes occurring in their work. They can be obsessive about tiny things like a single word and then casually change the order of chapters, or cut whole sections without losing any sleep.

If you ever need to install anything, you can open a web-browser, google the thing you want, open the page, find the installer, download it, open explorer, find the exe, run it, step through the options and get on with your day. OR, if you have Chocolatey installed you can just open powershell and type "choco install vlc" or whatever it is, silently.

The best feature of choco is that you can chain things together. You can write a script that installs everything you need in life, and have a new machine up and running in no-time.

We need some more excitement from physics, urgently. Higgs boson, while exciting, was just a confirmation of long-standing theory. Holographic universe hypothesis is almost discredited (thanks to Holometer experiment), and we are back to square one.
