Animals on Trial – Not Weird at All
Working at a Shopify expert company [1], I'm curious about Frenzy's relation to / integration with the rest of the Shopify platform, and e.g. whether it will be possible to manage via (additions to) the Shopify API? Is this currently intended only for high-volume retailers, or the entire long-tail of the Shopify customer base?

Thanks!

They probably chose the device they have the best success cracking. I wonder what phone they used ... checks ... LG G4 ... damn it, that's my phone.
Boycotting, ostracizing and shaming them didn't work the last fifty times, but it's bound to work this time!
Ditto Mobile Safari. That's even more egregious.
Never, ever fly a regional airline for this reason.

Disclaimer: I have a private pilot's license, and my flight instructor was working for a regional making less than $20k a year with a terrible, sleep deprivation inducing schedule. You don't make $100k as a captain for almost 15-20 years.

I agree that pilot unions and ruthless enforcement of labor protections are a good thing.
It's also important to note that being hypocritical doesn't make you wrong. Smokers saying "don't smoke, it's bad for you" is a classic example.

That's why it can be legitimate for a politician to say things like "yes, I take lobbyist money - everyone does. The system's broken and should be fixed."

Comments about the use of the word hypocrisy aside, and assuming the screenshot isn't mocked up and fake itself, this does show how Facebook has a serious issue that it has, until now, wilfully ignored.

Fortunately the community has addressed both these claims, although you need root to set it up (you can remove after).

An app on F-droid known as "Cryptfs Password" can change the encryption password separately from your screen unlock password. It also bypasses the 16 character limit, as the encryption key I used on my last phone was 27 characters. At the end of the day Android encryption runs using dm-crypt, so the same sort of rules apply. The 16 character limit is a UI limitation, and there's no technical reason for it.

* Note: I fully acknowledge that Google needs to do better here, as I would never assume a normal user could root + install Cryptfs password + unroot after, but at least for those of us who can, we can do something in the meantime.
The parts of the OS you are describing were not designed in a modular way. It seems to me like you are using the wrong operating system if you want this level of control.
This is such a bad article. The Emdrive working as advertised does not immediately imply that conservation of momentum does not hold.

There are a variety of more plausible alternatives, precisely because conservation of momentum is so well-tested. Perhaps the most famous one is that the Emdrive is pushing against virtual particles that arise from a quantum vacuum.
Fortunately, the N3.parse() I mentionned accepts any dialect of RDF (N3, turtle, ...)

I used to follow the changes a lot on this repo. Lots of great discussion in the issues of balancing practicality and security. Like @ents mentioned though, there are some un-reversible changes if you do everything they recommend. Although it'll make you more secure.

I don't do most of this. I'm waiting until I decide to wipe my Mac and have plenty of time to play with it. (which is going to be when exactly? Not sure.)

[not dupe warning] This is an in deep analysis of the paper published a few days ago, not a rehash of the same report, so please don't mark this as a dupe. Also, if you are interested in the subject I recommend to read it, because I think it's understandable.
Yes, it was a bad comment with predictable effects. Still, breaking the site guidelines further is not a good way to reply. This comment (and others you posted) broke the site guidelines by being unsubstantive, calling names, complaining about downvoting, and baiting users into downvoting you. Please see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

Any large, optionally anonymous forum such as HN will include comments that hit any reader unpleasantly (it certainly does me) as well as genuinely nasty stuff. Any trend that exists in society at large is going to show up here. Or rather, societies, since many participate and their values don't all agree. That is a major factor here and perhaps the least understood.

If you generalize about HN based on the worst that stands out, in effect you contribute to worsening it, since it contributes to a view of the site as dominated by the long tail of shit, when this is not true. What's true is that HN is divided on controversial issues, just like the rest of the world is. But the vast majority of the userbase is here for civil, substantive discussion and hates this sort of trainwreck as much as you do and we do.

It takes time for the system to correct itself: flamewars flare up, and abusive commments pile up, very quickly. The counterweights—downvotes and flags by thoughtful users, and moderator intervention—take longer. There's not much we can do about this time discrepancy, because reflexive behaviors are always quicker than reflective ones.

To further the point: what filters would you choose? What features could you choose heuristically to distinguish between the two? They both have fur, they both have four legs, they both have two eyes, they both come in a wide variety of colors and patterns... Most dogs have an elongated snout but not all of them (pugs, bulldog, etc.).

I would be extremely impressed if someone developed an algorithm that could accomplish this task without using any type of statistical/machine learning.

No, not at all. That's precisely what the book is about: what is a lexer? how do I build one? what is a parser? what is a recursive descent parser?

In reply to knz, I hope you see the illogicality of interpreting what I wrote above as "suggesting any argument [I] disagree with is [...]".

Passing off the whole of the "alt-right" as "irrational" is exactly the sort of attitude that encourages previously-neutral people to leave social and progressive political groups. Unless you have a mathematical proof of this statement, I would be more humble in what one chooses to believe, and how one conducts one's arguments.
Fuck Hacker News and the liberal thought-police pieces of shit that moderate it.
If I can make a suggestion, the cheat sheet is kind of weirdly ordered. It would be helpful if ordered by action, or the actions were grouped together rather than sorted by the command. It is kind of weird that "kill window" is so far from "kill pane", and with things like "display time", "display pane number", and pane movements in between.
An open source tool for enabling faster, easier editing of video interviews
If this was currently being developed in the UK, my money would be on illegal.

Thankfully it's a well-known concept now, and a foreign-invented technology you need to interoperate with the rest of the world.

Nothing stops them from throwing the law at you though, even if they know if won't work. You literally can't be punished as a prosecutor for anything less than deliberately throwing the trial for money. If they feel they won't win they'll intentionally ruin your life anyways.
Django is a good framework, because it's opinionated about the right things (ie those that fit most very well).

Also, "there's an app for that". The ecosystem is large and healthy.

If you don't want Django cause it's Django, then Flask and Pyramid are other excellent alternatives. There is also a swath of more specialized frameworks (eg. Tornado).
When will the liberals learn? Silencing only fuels this movement. Silencing is the path of least intellectual integrity. Don't they realize that every time they ban or block the alt-right, instead of refuting their arguments, the alt-right wins? People aren't that stupid, you can't just block the alt-right talking points out of their sight and thus out of their mind. Same thing with 'fake news'. The notion of 'hate speech' has been used so broadly that it is now inflated to complete meaninglessness.
Would you be more boggled to know that there are a few large voting machine companies, one of which (Diebold) has the CEO on record as handing the election to a specific candidate (which candidate? exercise left for reader).
Yep that + all the migration tooling in Django makes getting the API side of a website going very easy.
Did you try Eve(flask based) at all of API ?
Being skeptical is generally good but I am afraid that the US is more and more eroding trust in their democracy. Most people think Congress is corrupt, a lot of people think that most elections since 2000 were rigged, or they think Obama is not even eligible to be president, now they think Trump is illegitimate because he didn't win the popular vote.

I think this is a very dangerous path. When people have no faith in established institutions this creates a big opportunity for an authoritarian that "cleans up" the system.

> I was hoping jolt was a command line tool in the style of jq. I dont believe jq does transformations of json, only queries.

I guess that depends on one's definition of transformation but:

echo '{"hello": "world"}' | jq '{brave:{"new": .hello}}'

it also doesn't even require JSON input, meaning one could use it strictly for composing valid output JSON:

# where -n = null input
jq -n --arg foo bar '{"meet me": ("at the "+$foo)}'

I use it for transforming AWS responses all the time. I put jq up there with vim as one of the "must have" tools. In fact, the keys `%!jq .` are burned into my fingers because I type them a lot

I actually taught myself python through Django. Basically started the tutorial without previous python experience. When you start with the ORM and models, views, etc, there is enough Django-specific stuff you have to learn anyway.

Not that I'd recommend this way... but 6 years later it seemed to have worked.

One might note that the respect due to "police" is in decline, as people are wising up to their thuggery and lack of expertise and morality.

Which is why their incompetence has risen to the third-leading cause of death in the United States ( https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2016/0... ).

There are a lot of doctors (and especially nurses!) that provide valuable care every day. That said, we can't just blindly assume they know what they're doing and give them respect that they haven't earned--especially when the healthcare system is as fucked as it is today and they refuse to take an active role in fixing it.
The answer "Hey, we're working on getting all our patents into our patent pledge" would totally satisfy me. But let's be honest: It's never going to happen.

Patent licensing that only benefits people using Google tech is exactly the sort of hypocrisy Google and others accuse Microsoft of. (Manufacturers who ship Windows Mobile generally don't get sued for violating Microsoft's patents, AFAIK.) Obviously, since Microsoft's OS would implement it's own mobile device tech, the sorts of protections afforded by Google via Apache licensing probably doesn't protect Microsoft from a suit by Google, for example.

What is the harm in Google pledging all of their patents, if they have no intention to ever use them offensively?
> But he argues that since hacking is possible, it’s simply prudent to conduct a recount in close states where there’s a paper trail, which is reasonable enough.

I think this is key. We should be skeptical of stolen election claims, but we should also be skeptical of claims that the election wasn't stolen. If recounting is straightforward to do and it addresses the very real concern that the count was tampered with, why not do it? Even if there was no tampering, it's very harmful to democracy to allow reasonable doubt to persist as to whether the vote counts were legitimate.
The world we are moving to is one where ad exchanges, google, and facebook get to decide what can survive on the web. This doesn't seem like a good thing.
I believe links connection the UK to Iceland and Norway are at the planning stage and generally interconnecting over lager areas is part of using renewable energy more efficiently.

That has little do with Django; you'll find it's the same with any WSGI based framework, because WSGI is fundamentally a synchronous interface.

Supreme court decisions in the US really bother me because of how far reaching they can be. They can only be overturned by a constitutional amendment or another supreme court decision.

Marriage equality in the US is great, but it also came down to a supreme court decision. If it had gone the other direction, getting an amendment added in today's climate would be extremely difficult.

We've seen lower courts rule code as speech (in the create encryption/ITAR wars of the 90s):

http://www.cs.princeton.edu/courses/archive/spr96/cs291/encr...

..but if a higher court, or the Supreme court, ruled to enforce software patents, it would create a huge block to development and innovation -- and there would be big questions about open source projects which are free as in speech. Would individual users be required to pay patent fees to use oss tools?
Ive been learning python using Flask, which is very similar to Django, and overall I think its been a pretty great tool and learning experience.
Lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor
From what I read, they may look at removing support based on user agent strings which is a terrible idea. Many websites don't support browsers outside of Firefox, MS, Chrome and Safari recent releases, which is why people often hard code their user agent string.

Still, it's great to see them take their user base so seriously!

Out of curiosity could anyone build an app like this with Shopify's apis?
Or does it rely on internal private Shopify functionality?

I've wanted to integrate with Shopify but seem to get confused by the limitations.

For one, it would be cool if the sellers had the options to let their products be on an open market place where anyone could write an application and sell their products for commission.

Also Toronto born-and-raised and living in SF. I'm not sure what this spark you speak of is, but I feel a ton of energy, enthusiasm, fearlessness, and widespread talent in SF that barely exists in Toronto. I believe that much of it has to do with self-selection - SF is full of people that decided to be there and intentionally moved there - wanted to learn programming, or wanted to start a company, or didn't feel comfortable being homosexual in their small town, or wanted to live somewhere with warmer winters and hiking in December. It feels like most people in Toronto were born there or moved there as young kids when their parents immigrated. The self selection of people in SF has dramatic influences on its culture. Maybe you can call it homogeneous and sure there's a big tech industry in SF, but it's hardly the largest industry there.

Nightmarish (without building additional systems): Asynchronous operations (i.e. any task that takes place after you return a response), anything involving websockets or long poll responses, anything involving cross-client communication through the server (like chat). Intelligent master/slave DB routing for read-only queries.

Hard: Using any DB but PostgreSQL. You can use other DBs, but Django silently disables features. Doing anything with the DB that isn't directly managed by Django itself. Doing anything but basic pre-defined URL routing as supported by their routing system.

Use something else: Not using a relational DB as a backend. Not using their user management and authentication system. If you want to use something other than their built-in ORM, templating, and routing.

I personally recommend Flask in the cases where Django is not a good fit. A threading/forking fastcgi model with basic nginx caching is incredibly performant. That said, Flask is pretty terrible at most of the "nightmare" level tasks as well.

I picked up Django early 2015 and it has been my choice of backend ever since. Though I haven't used Django to build a fullstack application, I have used Django REST framework extensively for my backend. Impressions over 1.92 years:

1) Great documentation. Well organized, well written. Good balance between theory and examples.

2) Superb ecosystem. Coming from PHP land, I got the sense of a "anything-goes" mentality. On SO, people who help are very much interested in doing things the idiomatic way.

3) You get to practice Python!
True, but it's still worth calling out since Django is a WSGI-based framework.
