Who is YM/CMB? Google shows a bunch of rappers, but is there actually one that calls himself "YM/CMB"? I guess that guy drank too much of the Web 2.0 naming coolaid ("Street 2.0"?)
A dog eared copy of http://www.careferencemanual.com/ is what I keep on my desk at work, it is not a learn C book, it somewhat unsurprisingly is a reference manual.

Authors(Samuel P.Harbison and Guy L.Steele Jr.) write concisely and clearly.

For tricky C language questions CAR is much preferable over trying to find answers in the standard.
It's not just backup because you can share directories across dropbox accounts, and dropbox maintains that central repo on as many machines as you want.
Everytime I hear of young startups it's always been a young entrepeneur, who happens to have a rich father, who happens to be a VC, who just happens to live in SV. If it's not MyWeboo, it's MyYearbook. BTW, whatever happened to my yearbook. I heard they were bought out.

Show me the young entrepreneur that raises capital by washing cars on weekends, selling lemonade, or busting ass at McDonalds. I'd have a startup too if money wasn't a problem, I had daddy's connections and could get my startup featured in yahoo.

Anyway, everytime I see these "youth-targeted" websites I think, limited appeal to a slowly shrinking demographic. Whose sole existence is to be acquired by a facebook or yahoo because they haven't developed a longterm strategy.
Could you please clarify what it is about for-profits that makes you think they would never accept bribes?
Ask HN: How do you stop an app's email getting flagged as spam?
Just saw Reddit's state of the servers report which included information on how sending email via Amazon EC2 causes it to get flagged as spam thanks to Trend Micro.

Regardless of whether you are using EC2 or not - how do you try to stop your app's email getting flagged as spam?

What can you do to run tests on your existing email to make sure it is getting through?
Lilypond has a working syntax but it could sure do with some simplification and consistency. I use Lilypond, I use Latex, I know Lisp, but I find the Lilypond syntax can be mighty confusing.

I think so too - these aren't your garden variety struggling-to-make-ends-meet indie games, these were all very successful and profitable games long before the Humble Bundle.
I was just trying not to drift too much into complicated parts of the problem, since the society is obviously unable to fix even the most obvious and simple parts of it.

Yeah, maybe there should be some rules about corner cases like that (what to do with you if you are unconscious and there is nobody to ask about what you'd want to be done to you). And maybe one way to get those rules written and enforced is to have people on government payroll for that. Or maybe we should just leave it to the ER folks. But, frankly, I think it would be nice to fix the obvious big wrongs first, and worry about all this stuff later.
And if I work offline on different computers now and then, pushing to the Dropbox which then merges the repos in a Dropboxey way? Are .hg directories safe for concurrent modification?

The Launch Page 
This might be a very naive question, but I was wondering if there are any neat-looking launch page templates that you guys use or know of to gather users' email addresses while your product is in development, so that you can later notify them when your product is ready for launch.

Any pointers?

Yes, I remember NYT also tried something like this with reddit. I think the main reason it didn't take off is that one single media entity just doesn't have that much interesting content to keep it vibrant enough.

There is a bit of truth in here, and a bit of bullshit.

I think, long run, that you only ever have those 250K users permanently. The rest are just passing through.

It'd be great to think that rock-solid vision and saying no to users is great, just like it'd be great to think that listening carefully and delivering what an audience wants is great. Fact is, both are necessary and both have limitations.

Nothing stays the same. Audience participation is always changing. If applications were movies, some might be James Bond movies -- multiple creative attempts along the same pattern as visioned by founders continue to churn out winners. But most are Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure -- wonderful little passtimes that lots of people enjoy for a bit and move on.

Everybody wants to think that their Bill and Ted is actually a James Bond. But very, very, very few apps are. And then when their app isn't, people either crowd around and say there's not enough vision or not enough listening to the crowd. This is the difference between making something and bullshitting about making something.

Anthropogenic global warming?
"Given the same amount of expertise in 2 languages, if i can write the same feature in much less time in one language, then it is more powerful."

I think the author overstates his argument by not accepting the above. However there is a case to argue that such productivity gains are small compared to the productivity of a "really smart" programmer to that of the average, i.e 10Xs. Also it is valid to raise the issue of maintenance problems if really smart programmers use languages and techniques that average programmers has difficulty understanding.

This is all a very tricky area.

I've heard several similar anecdotes and I think that Dan Arielly (behavioural economist / writer) talks about this as well. Bonuses quickly become part of your compensation and you consider them your due.

But this whole area is full of irrationality. A 12,000 car bonus probably felt like a huge thing at the time. A $75 p/w raise probably would have felt like nothing out of the usual. You wouldn't have even mentioned the story if the secretary had expected another raise in a year or two.

The platform, from a technological POV, is utterly uninteresting. It's quickly replacing the blog for the X in "Build an X in [webplatform of the week] in 15 minutes".

Meh.

Can't believe I've never thought of this.

So just to be clear - your working directory is in dropbox and you edit, compile etc in place and no bandwidth, sync , whatever issues?
Court Ruling on Software Liability Includes Consequential Damages
Oh well that makes some sense - hopefully other companies are encrypting the data and not storing CVV.

The crazy part to me is that these guys are storing this information for years (One of the first rows was from 2002, and the last 2010) and they're not doing any kind of recurring billing/customer profile stuff. So if I make a purchase 10 times my card is stored 10 times.

To top it off, I went back on it while writing the client, and I don't even need a password to access data. I can create a valid session by setting a url parameter. :(
I've never noticed bandwidth/sync issues. Sometimes it takes a couple of minutes to get it's head round things; but not often (Dropbox really is great at "just working").

It also syncs over the local network which speeds things up no end when I work at home.

I don't compile any of these because they are python, php or ruby projects (I only write C at work :P). I do have a Ruby/Redis project that I run from the Dropbox folder for testing - that has never generated any problems to my knowledge.

10 best iPad games we can't wait to play
Recently, a new report from Flurry Analytics shows that Apple's iPad seen as next great portable video game device. Developers are now gearing up to unleash their wares on Apple's iPad. Indeed, with the iPad's larger touchscreen, and the manner in which it's held and interacted with being very different to using an iPhone, the iPad is simply crying out to be used as a gaming platform. Here we take a look at the 10 best iPad games we can't wait to play on the new iPad.
Surely your "friend" can choose to run a node that conforms to the Diaspora protocol, but also forwards your information on. How does the trust/privacy aspect work?

You know, the same kind of friend that uploads photos of you drunk.
I think this is a bit off-the-mark. The point is not really a moral one from the point of view of the person getting the worse deal. Sounds illogical, but it's not: as an earlier poster said, the limit went in at 26.40, it doesn't matter to you why the market is more efficient (or whatever you want to call it), you were happy to buy at 26.39. From your point of view for that individual trade there is no case that you were scammed.

The problem is the larger perspective of the market structure being weighted in favour of certain participants. A particular class of investor is given a specific advantage by the supposedly neutral exchange, and they use it so systematically exploit an edge that doesn't exist for you or anyone else. That is wrong.
Drag and drop from the desktop is an HTML5 feature, but support elsewhere may not be as strong as in Chrome.

Here's an earlier article about support in FF:

http://decafbad.com/blog/2009/07/15/html5-drag-and-drop

Last I checked, one weakness of the FF support is that it can only read a dropped file into memory in its entirety -- not by fileBlob slices. That may not be fatal for typical-sized email attachments, but is a serious limitation for one of my desired applications.

(I'm not sure I'm even reading the HTML5 drag-and-drop spec right about reading ranges... but they wouldn't spec a feature that could only work with files that easily fit in the browser's memory, would they?)

Actually, Wolfire has done this a couple of times before I believe. Who ever said these promotions worked once? As far as I can see that is just an assumption to clarify the crazy, crazy behaviour of consumers not adhering to the "people will pay the least possible for a product" theories of current economics.

I say, give it a shot.

As the article says; this is the advantage of making your own browser. They can support these features with a decent market share - and it pulls the other browsers along with them.

Smart moves.

What the fuck is up with the downvote mob on HN lately?

Feel free to downvote posts that are malicious or flat out wrong but why vote down genuine conversation and responses? Sheesh.
Fair enough. I'm a user who isn't even all that concerned about privacy, but it's still not a pleasant feeling to have Facebook continually rearrange what they have decided to do with my information at their every whim.

It's sort of like dating someone who all the sudden decides to start calling you at work throughout the day. Just a bit unnerving.

Facebook ends up feeling dictatorial and paternal. And that's aside from whether the privacy concerns are valid (which at least some appear to be.)
Google and Verizon working on iPad tablet rival
Arrington is absolutely right about Digg. They are pandering to users too much. Assuming they want mainstream traffic they should only listen to the users who represent the vision of a mainstream product.

However, Arrington is wrong about Apple and Facebook. They have stepped over a line somewhere and alienated themselves. Both of these companies have gotten mainstream media attention for their recent dictatorship activities. They are going to be paying the price for it. Don't forget how Microsoft got dragged into court in 1997. Arrogance.

If you're pushing around a LOT of files(which I did for a game project's data, the asset compilation process involved several copies and processing) Dropbox can screw up occasionally. If it's just a few source files that you edit in place you're probably fine. Also, some apps may modify files(e.g. a local database) in place without touching their date, which is scary since Dropbox will never update the file until you manually touch it.
Google AdWords Modifies Broad Match Keywords
I don't think anybody is arguing against semantic information. By "semantic web" I primarily think about the effort of creating new markup languages for the web to enable people to mark their data with semantic information that is machine readable. The problem then is, how do you get people to add that extra information.

If you can extract information automatically, then you don't need to explicitly mark the data to begin with, so in my opinion it is not the "semantic web" people have been talking about.

Of course there was meta-information from day one, that is, web forms had fields for dates and names and in the database there were columns called date and name. That is Web 1.0, not semantic web.

Be nice because it hurts Dropbox.

I usually save my working source file every small amount of time (quite often) and every single change would create a history version on Dropbox storage server which I don't need that much. I'm not sure how many versions are kept but it is totally a waste of bandwidth as well as storage. So, pick what & when a folder/file to be synced is one of the most key features that I'm waiting for. Yup, cause it's very useful for live projects in Dropbox folder.

So it looks like they only have an EMI deal right now but other labels are in progress.

Interesting article. Normally when I read an article in the form of "some natural phenomenon has stopped occurring", I get worried and think of how the human race is fucking over the planet and we're all going to die, unless we figure out what we did wrong. That was the initial thought that went through my mind when I clicked through to this article.

Then I realized, hey... that's another planet. We didn't cause the problem! We can just watch and not care one way or the other. If we figure out why, great. If we never do... also fine.

Quite relaxing.
And even less of the world is POSIX.
Exactly! Well, IMHO, if it's conducted like an online "faire", would be cool. Coz then featuring in the Humble Bundle might become a hotshot status among indie developers. Not that if you dont feature it would be bad. But if this is done regularly, there are chances of everyone in the indie world keeping tabs abt this event.

P.S: Maybe someday this might become CES for indie devs :) if conducted offline. Or am I thinking too far?

It's me who's framed them specifically as a Facebook replacement in this post, and certainly what they're doing is a reaction to Facebook's issues.

But if you read their project description, it doesn't sound like what they're building only duplicates Facebook's functionality. They're talking about providing software to give you your own portable persistent data vault, that you can selectively allow other people & services to access, while keeping the ability to remove their access at any time.

That's pretty cool, and it has the potential for a lot more uses than what Facebook is doing.
