Obligatory emacs post: M-x re-builder is also pretty handy. Of course, then you're using emacs re syntax, which is a bit clunkier.

I think this actually illustrates the other guy's point. If you want a parser, you need to go download code off the internet. If you want a Regex, you type something along the lines of new Regex().

And yet for all the books I wanted to buy last week paperbacks were cheaper compared to Kindle books. So much for digital copies being easier to manufacture and all that.

I only see myself buying Kindle books for something unavailable in paper form or with a serious discount.

I guess C++ hate is in fashion, but for me, I just don't see it.

I've programmed in myriad languages, including the HN-beloved Lisp, and I think C++ is fine and stands up there with the best of them in terms of ability, syntax, etc. It has its annoying problems, of course, but so does any other language.

Maybe if I tried some of the languages that get huge praise here, like Haskell, I would see the light and see what a horrible horrible language C++ is.
That's a strange list and I can't really see how I'd use it to choose somewhere to work. Would you enjoy getting a CS degree and then working at Men's Wearhouse rather than Apple?

I can see the whitespace actually being a problem here, since most tools assume they can rearrange it willy-nilly, and since indentation in html is generally speaking akin to washing your hands after you use the bathroom: a lot of people don't do it.
Ask HN: Credit card payment within site
We're running a web social network.

Right now our customers are directed to pay using Credit Card or Paypal on Paypals site, and redirected back after.

We'd like to keep customer on our site for credit card payments to increase completion rate.

How can we accept credit card payment directly within our site ?

1) Is Website Payments Pro (or alternative) easy to integrate with?
2) Does it allow recurring subscription as well?
3) Can you remember credit card and then able to auto-bill people as part of a "top up" function?

Appreciate any advice..
I'll add to that by saying it's a sign of our times as well. I was educated with material from the 60's / 70's & having nudity in school textbooks was perfectly normal then, including shared nudity between adults & children.
On the one hand I completely sympathize with the author. As a parent myself I would not wish this upon anyone.

On the other hand, the author is a journalist, exactly the people who are the cause of this type of witch hunt. If you would leave out the prologue of the story, and make it into a story where the accusations actually were true. Then noone would have blinked about what happened. If they were treated any other way, there would have been a public outrage.

Think about the officers handling this case. There is absolutely zero incentive for them to handle this case differently. If the accused turn out to be guilty, then they better have handled this case with the utmost seriousness. Any leniency can possibly lead to a scandal. And media love childmolesting scandals, so the officers will be part of a nation if not worldwide scandal. They will be singled out, their mistake will be broadcasted for the whole world to see, and they effictively lose their job.

If people turn out to be innocent, psyches have been damaged, it's bad but they'll get over it. More importantly, maybe a complaint will be filed, they will have done the right thing within the rules, and case is closed.
Back in the 90s I ran across an interesting survey. In America more people were privately concerned about excessive violence on TV than excessive sex. But most thought that their neighbors were more concerned about sex than violence. And therefore found it easier to publicly express their concerns about sex than violence.

As to your question, laws and solutions vary widely by country. And other countries have their own problems. (See, for instance, the Catholic abuse scandal in Ireland.) But in general other countries have laws which serve the same purpose as US laws, however with less draconian details. For instance England and Canada have copied US legislation for registered sex offenders. However they do not seem to have implemented the sort of geographic rules on where they can live that lead to the infamous tent city under a bridge in Miami.
I would like to know the answer to this too. I think WPP does allow recurring payments and CC data storage. I hear services like Chargify (http://chargify.com) are very useful to get up and running quickly (if you already have a merchant account).

Why is the DaringFireball article here? and why does it have a 100 votes? The guy has just quoted the Wired article without adding anything on his own?
Well my first reaction is the same as yours, but since python is OSS the possibility does indeed exist that this could be emulated amongst other browsers without needing Silverlight.

The runtime API they present to python though, while it seems to be just the DOM exposed, would still need to be documented and standardized.
The double standard is exactly what I meant when juxtaposing the two quotes.
Just embed CPython...

I imagine that, from a security standpoint, embeding CPython in a browser would be pretty hairy.
In what language? That expression works fine for me when I test it?
ooh. either winnie the pooh or the jungle book dvd for my daughter :)

(unrelated to this discussion) I think if you added some sort of (painted) border around the sticker/whiteboard it would be a better product - people wouldn't have to worry of writing on their walls by accident. You could also have different kind of "borders", resembling a web browser, a computer screen, a notepad or something like that so that its not just a "large overpriced white sticker on the wall".
It depends both on the models for compilation you're using and the resulting language model the programmer has to deal with. The "barrier between the mind and the computer" is only there if you have a mismatched conceptualization. A language using a graph isn't needed for hierarchical problems; a language using a tree isn't needed for linear problems.

If you want simple, you can't get much simpler than a Forth or assembly language. Lisp is slightly more difficult than those other two because it has explicit hierarchical structures - and thus it needs a parsing strategy more complex than "consume tokens." Lisp also needs more complex memory management strategies to be a useful production system.

If you want a safe/productive environment, the tendency is to add more syntax and a tighter runtime model than either Forth or Lisp. Adding syntax is a tradeoff between simplicity and ambiguity....while nobody likes syntactical monstrosities, nobody wants to program at the conceptual level of the lambda calculus or Turing machine, either. With low-syntax languages, programmers must concern themselves with ambiguous statements that would be caught at compile time elsewhere. As well, locking down the runtime model to bias only towards necessary tasks gives the language a focus that motivates the rest of its environment(optimizations, libraries, build systems, etc.). C, for example, was built for Unix, and that coexistence has led to its astounding long-term success.

Lisp is great for a lot of things, but that's also its downside. To rephrase Dijkstra: "Flexibility considered harmful."
It's interesting that there was such a notion, as C was never popular on mainframes.
While i find this cool,and putting aside the fact that it's a Microsoft specific extension since this is covered in other comments, i really doubt of the utility of python as a client side language.

The only advantage i can see is language homogenization between server and client code, if your web app is in python. Python doesn't have a sane syntax for anonymous functions, which i use a lot in event driven code because imho they make the code clearer. That's arguably a small drawback, but the advantages also seems scarce from my perspective.

Of course there are python niceties like list comprehensions, but i would much rather use CoffeeScript if i need a step up in syntax from Javascript, since it has very nice support for anonymous functions, and a whole lot of other things, being designed precisely for this purpose.

What do you guys think ? Why would you like to use python scripts ?
I hope Google learns from this and doesn't announce future new version until the day they can ship the code. Android bashers have been complaining that 'it's taking months to get 2.2 deployed' which is a complete misrepresentation of the facts.

What's the legal status of operating a server from space? Could this be a second sealand?
Object sizes in JRuby are certainly larger, especially if you run on a 64-bit JVM which necessarily has 64-bit reference fields for all object references (basically everything in Ruby). It doesn't surprise me at all to see a single-threaded case with a lot of objects use more memory, but it would be interesting to see how much of that was unused heap space and how much was actually live data. MRI's less-efficient conservative collector can live in a smaller memory space, but you sacrifice performance.
This happens really a lot with PayPal, the other case I can think of off the top of my head is wtfjeans
(Off topic, but that same character you randomly dump into irc messages appeared at the beginning of this comment)
Why not nginx? ^_^

It is so inadequate to use things like JVM or V8 to serve static content.

Btw, is there any cool-web-server project for Flash - yet another artificial blob (or to be more correct - tumour) in an OS? ^_^

And of course there should be some dynamic web server written on PHP! (yes, you can run it standalone)

I suppose you mean violence in your second sentence, not sex.
Indeed, it's still required.

I spent a year driving my English Right-Hand-Drive car on the roads in Spain, so I can sympathize with the Swedes and their worries about head-on collisions. Until you get used to it, it's pretty nervewracking passing oncoming traffic at 140kph and trying not to hit them while driving from the wrong side of the car.

Good practice though. At this point I'm pretty much ambidrivestrous .
Andy was my officemate when he was working on this

Congrats to the PiCloud team - looking forward to more.
...the hardware will probably get fixed next iteration ... and isn't a big deal.

It is a big deal as people paid several hundred dollars for the device. If anything, the fact that people didn't return their iPhone 4s in large numbers is that they expected a decent response from Apple. I doubt that's what a lot of users feel they got.

My inclination is that this saga's real effects will be felt whenever the next iPhone is released: the initial sales will be a lot lower as people hold back being first adopters in case Apple screws up again.
Amen! I've used HP notebooks running both Windows (as supplied by HP) and Ubuntu. Having switched to a Mac Book Pro, there is no way I'm going back. VmWare Fusion lets me run Windows (several different versions for testing) and Ubuntu. Battery life is consistently 7+ hours. Everything "just works"(TM) and it doesn't constantly nag you with this update or that reminder.
That article speaks of just allegations without providing any proof.

Why wasn't the Clerk investigated for child pornography/molestation?

If you look at a picture of naked kids in non-sexual situations and think you're seeing something sexual then there is something wrong with you. Full stop. Either you've been abused, you're an abuser yourself or you've been horribly brain washed. Any of these possibilities makes you more of a risk than the person who shot the photos.

Taking this a step further, people need to start filing scary "child pornography" charges at judges, lawyers and everyone else who participates in this kind of insanity. If the judge doesn't take one look at the photo, realize it's nothing and dismiss the case then he might well be a consumer of child pornography. Otherwise, why didn't he realize it was innocent? If a few people in power start getting their lives ruined by this nonsense maybe it would stop.
I was thinking of using aspiring scriptwriters and playwrights do do this. Plays and films are (nominally) word-for-word with the script, but are delivered in a way that needs to be convincing to the audience.

Similarly, plays and scripts strike me as good training data for the backend, as they mimic natural speech patterns (as opposed to novels or scientific research articles). Markov once again becomes your friend here.

The arts get a little funding and some recognition, and some company gets to collect audio gold for speech recognition and synthesis.

Couple that with a couch potato concept, and you might have something fun to hack on.
Google Maps also includes a transit trip planner; enter endpoints as if driving then toggle to the railcar icon (among the car, railcar, walk, bike icons). From SFO to the Computer History Museum it suggests routes using a combination of BART, CalTrain, and VTA bus.
If there's something we or the JVM could do to improve these numbers, I would love to talk to you about it. At this point, if the JVM developers haven't found the magic sauce, we JRuby guys probably won't either...but I'd really love for JRuby performance on Windows to match JRuby performance on Linux.
The closest modern relative to MacPaint is probably the paint program in ClarisWorks/AppleWorks, which was ported to Carbon and runs on OS X.

AppleWorks was bundled with all new Mac hardware up until the switch from PPC to Intel in 2006; I still have my copy that came with my iBook G4, still works in Snow Leopard, still reads files created with the original 128k MacPaint. (And my iBook G4 ran MacPaint v2.0, circa 1987, via the Classic VM.)

These days, there are all sorts of great indie and open source paint programs available:

- Paintbrush: http://paintbrush.sourceforge.net/

- Pixelmator: http://www.pixelmator.com/

- Seashore: http://seashore.sourceforge.net/The_Seashore_Project/About.h...

- Skitch: http://skitch.com/

Sounds pretty cool :) I'd love to see some blog posts about it, but I doubt I'll have time to do so in the next couple weeks.
Actually, the OpenBSD people grumble about all the companies incorporating their code (mostly OpenSSH) and not contributing anything back, too. There's a difference between what is legally allowed and what is (considered) ethical.

It's just that the GNU people, being (more or less) on the same team and fond of open-source retoric, are more vulnerable to pressure.
Moncler jackets and moncler coats on sale

That is entirely false:

a) If the system worked, the initial photos would have been checked and then the complaint would have been disregarded.

b) If the system worked, innocent parents who provided a loving and safe home for their children would not have been treated like criminals.

c) If the system worked, the state would not have kept pushing in the hope of getting some sort of conviction in a case where it was manifestly clear that nothing had happened.

d) If the system worked, the children in the case would not have been subjected to invasive and personal questioning by government functionaries.

Accusations of pedophilia do ruin lives, and no one should ever have to go through the hell of proving their innocence in a case as flimsy as this.

I've read just over 30 pages of the comments on Salon to this story, and undoubtedly I'll read many more. My main observation is that most of the commenters seem to be sensible people who do understand what parenting is like, and how kids really act. Thank _God_. But some of the other comments just make me facepalm terrifically.

Legally, I'm going to be an adult within the month. I'm certainly not a parent, but I am a kid, and I haven't been so brainwashed as to lose sight of what pre-adolescence is like. I could go on and on about the funny, stupid, and downright embarrassing things I did, particularly before I turned "double-digits".

Side-point: Giving these decidedly private photos to a public agency to develop was an absolutely stupid thing to do, but by no stretch of the imagination can I blame everything on him because of it. That's a lesson learned, for sure, but the idea that anything else he did was "wrong" just blows my mind. I'd like to say to some of the salon commenters... don't impose your personal morals on everyone else, please. I know there's a fantastic one-word term for people who do that, but it escapes me.
We have no direct road links with the rest of Europe. Even the Channel Tunnel has no road: to take a car across you drive onto a train and off it at the other end.

Seriously, putting ICE info so it's always visible on your phone must be the most depressing thing you could ever do. I understand that some people have medical conditions that puts them at risk every day, but the absolute majority of normal, healthy people do not need this.

Tumblr is Now a Top 50 Site in the U.S. in Terms of Traffic
That's only "way below average" if you re-define average to mean "in the top 100".
I would say that Microsoft 'pushing innovation on the browser front' is the root cause of most browser related developer headaches over the last 10 years.
Highly unlikely; I'm sure there are such people in the LE services - but fortunately the controls now are quite good to stop them from running amok.

It sounds a lot like mad bureaucracy, incompetence and disinterest. Which, if anything, is even worse.
This is probably the best thing to do. If you can reduce the problem to a single, limited domain, you can focus your energy on just that one. As you feel more confortable, you can introduce others. Even in general I think it's a good idea to split things up and tackle them individually.
Oh but you could also make the program translate! At least high quality subtitles are more easily available than the on demand stuff you see on live newscasts.

Then you have chosen completely the wrong license, because that is not what the BSD license provides. The BSD license allows derivations to be unmodifiable, or to be useable only with a fee paid, or any other restriction the copyright holder (of the derivation) cares to add.

For example, a derivation of your code could be licensed under the hypothetical ICBINTGPL License ("I Can't Believe It's Not The GPL") that was the same as the GPL in all but name.

The tension in what you want is evident in your comment: you "want the code and all derivations to be [list of attributes]", which implies obligations on the user of the code (amusingly, GPL-like obligations!); but you also want "no obligations made upon the user/re-implementer". So you want obligations that there be no obligations. That's the problem I'm trying to point out.
I definitely wish the page had been more up-front about requiring Silverlight. I paged down for more than I'd have liked just to find an answer to the nagging question of "how is it done?"
I don't think so, but I'm European and I've only learned to drive with manual transmission and on the right side of the street.

I even think it's the other way around: Holding the wheel is easier than changing some setting on the radio, because the latter needs "fine motor skills" whilst the first does not. It's preferable to use the hand with better "fine motor skills" - which in case of right-handed people is the right hand - for more complicated tasks.
