Thanks for posting this. It convinced me to upgrade SSL support from "something that would be nice to implement if I was bored someday" (BCC is not exactly security critical -- except, on reflection, the admin pages) to "drop everything and get it done."
That will still load images via https, not http. They'll still be cached client-side of course, but they can't be cached by proxies and you need an SSL certificate for your static content server.
I find Chrome full of little annoyances like this. I tried to move to it because of the huge speed advantage over firefox but gave up pretty quickly.

I understand - and generally approve - the drive towards simplicity, but things should be made as simple as possible, and no simpler. (With apologies to Einstein.)
Chrome crosses that line in several ways which ends up causing more confusion than it solves.
Unfortunately here in Amsterdam landlords are quite abusive, and mine is not an exception. When there are problems in the house it takes always a lot to fix them. And other unpleasant things I won't bother you with. Of course this is not the reason I buy a house for, but it's a nice plus.

I could hire cleaners in this house too, of course, but I live with flatmates that should agree on it too, and they don't.

I've been downvoted a few times and it was usually deserved. Also I had cases where initially it would go to -2 or -3 and then go up again to +2 or +3. Thus I can't confirm your observation of "blind down-voting". Sometimes a popular HN user will get a large amount of upvotes for comments that otherwise would probably attract less upvotes though.
With Erlang, I think you could be identified easily. At some level of detail everyone is, and if I needed an experienced Erlang programmer, I would probably know where to look.

But how about with PHP instead?
I have taken time out of my profession to start a company, and I am still involved with a charitable organisation and my personal learning.

Day to day I use to do lists to ensure that I have a daily focus, but once a month I write down whats important to me and preen anything that isnt.

I also have a strong, supportive partner. I only met her 9 months ago and I was already well into the startup. She has been a god send.

I listen to music while biking (not heavy metal, though), and you are right, it helps a lot. It completely changes my mood. Even if I'm biking in a freezing cloudy day, I start thinking it's a nice ride.
I think we already have an abstraction: it's "My Documents" (or the equivalent). "Normal" user applications just need to simplify their interfaces so that users actually end up keeping their files in there. File managers should have a simple interface so that users can work with files in there (and the interface should be simple enough that they actually do). File managers still need the current ("advanced") interface for power users who need to mess with the system.

The Preferences argument made by the author is the same in my opinion. ~/Library/Preferences should be hidden by default. The user should be able to clear preferences from within Photoshop itself, or some sort of general preferences manager.

None of this needs a new abstraction layer, just some incremental UX work within individual applications.
I didn't try it out because you required me to log in. Sorry. Maybe have a 'try it now' button to a demo account, if it's really essential that you have logged in users.
I tried it back during my first trip to Sichuan in 2005. Luofeiyu, everyone seems to eat it there, at least in the rural part of Sichuan where I was. It was especially awesome barbecued with Sichuan spices. I think I liked it so much because it tasted unlike any fish I've ever had before. I used to live in Vancouver, so I like my fish. :)

Not directly related (but not totally unrelated), try to search for "PDF/A" in the "ominous bar" => error.

What you're looking for:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF/A

What you get:

This webpage is not available. The webpage at http://pdf/a might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

The reason for this, is probably that anything with a slash in it has to be interpreted as a url, since there is no protocol left to make the difference between a web address and a search...
Why this sudden outrage? This has been the case ever since Google Chrome took the step of obscuring the HTTP protocol scheme way back in April 2010, and been mentioned way back then as well.

See: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=41467#c19 for a developer's comment where he explains the 'feature'.

This seems to be a case of reporting an existing 'feature' (however much you may dislike it) as a bug.

Indeed it does, but on the phone I use I have to click each feed in turn to see new articles. I like the one-click experience of just getting a page of everything new all at once, so I can scroll through at my leisure, go onto the underground (I work in London), etc.
That seems like a pretty easy fix. Just ensure that you have a .something somewhere in the address, before the first slash.
Microsoft vs. Apple, by the numbers
This is how you write a reverse job application
Your rules are great. Obviously different things work for different people, but this is what I do:

1/ I'm nomadic. This means I don't have household things to worry about which frees a LOT of time. No washing-up for me :)

2/ I work 8am to 9pm Monday-Saturday with a 2 hour break for lunch and a 1hr trip to the gym

3/ I take regular walks and use our app (which I won't advertise here) to stay active.

4/ During the evenings (9-11:30) I write music, play L4D2 with friends, go to the pub, watch cartoons and draw.

5/ SUNDAY - KEY POINT #1: I go walkabout. I go for a 10-20mile walk along the beaches and cliffs of South England. I eat in pubs, drink a couple of real ales now-and-then... maybe have a nice coffee somewhere... maybe read a book. I never work that day. If I work just once, I can guarantee I will burn out within a fortnight.

6/ SUNDAY - KEY POINT #2: During my walkabout I spend at least 2 hours thinking about life - in particular what's important to me, what truly drives me and how I can add value during my short time on earth. I think about my family, my friends and how I can do the best for them without burning myself out.

7/ Every-so-often a take a few extra hours (even days) out to spend quality time with family and friends. Because 6 always shows that 5 and 4 are not enough ;)

Point 6 is utterly important IMO - everyone should spend an hour or two meditating on what is truly important to them.
Inappropriate ad in Youtube sends aubergine to my ceiling
Are you riding offroad? I do not listen to music while biking, it seems to be too dangerous. At least in traffic.

On the other hand, riding while listening to Slayer may get waaay too aggressive :)
uh, yes it is. It causes the same level of annoyance and has the same solution.

Load up Chrome and go to http://hackerne.ws, copy "hackerne.ws" from the address bar (all that displays) and you clipboard contains "http://hackerne.ws, to only get "hackerne.ws" in your clipboard you must paste somewhere else and remove the http://

Load up dailymail.co.uk and select an article, highlight a portion and copy it. Now your clipboard contains your selection + "Read more at...", now you must paste it somewhere else and remove "Read more at..." if you want your selection.

Both cases can be argued it's "for the user": The Chrome example, "oh well obviously the user wants to have http:// there!" and in the dailymail example "Well obviously if they're sharing that part of the article a link to the full article would be good!". Both examples cause the same problem and have the solution, therefore they are comparable.
I've found the simplicity of Chrome to be great. Mainly I'm bugged by how it just doesn't quite get flash right on OSX. Still, I've tried the latest FF and Opera releases, and I can't get over the extra toolbar real estate. Chrome just plain looks nicer, which, in combination with its other great features, solidifies its spot as my browser of choice. I just wish they'd fix the bugs.
America was a better place when people could keep their doors unlocked, and when someone's first response to a break-in was to blame the criminal.

The analogy is not complete because in our situation there's a third party involved beside the victim and the criminal: the website. What if your bank leaves the vault unlocked so anyone can take your money? Isn't the bank at least partly to blame?
How to build a distributed social network
Yes and no. The 747 is still in production and has been revised many times since. A 747 bought today will have relatively little in common with one bought in 1970.
I think this should be a call to arms to network, web and system admins everywhere. This is a problem that everyone knows about but nobody wants to do anything about since it requires additional setup. Usually the barrier is a technical issue that the end user can't figure out. However since submitting forms via SSL is something the developer can do without impacting the end user at all, this is a simple fix for just about any website. You need a static IP and an SSL certificate, and they are both cheap.

Running out of IPv4 space is an issue in this regard, but hopefully with more people wanting SSL it will push providers to IPv6 quicker. Nicely done EricButler!
Oh, and lots and lots of tea, coffee and decent music during the week ;)

No. It's a result of Ian Taylor being part of the Go team and the gcc team.

To the best of my knowledge, the gccgo frontend is not written as a gcc plugin.
I think airlines could pre-wire all seats to be able to provide 110v supply if purchased with your ticket or on-board as an add-on. Then have an intelligent switcher, which only energizes the socket if they have been pre-purchased, reducing the need to distribute live power around the plane.

Most people would really only want a few hours of charging. Then you could have a capped number of active sockets per flight of say 50-100 seats.
>Where is the statistical evidence that Ubercab and AirBnB are actually less safe than the alternative?

I think it's a bit premature to ask for this kind of statistical evidence no? Are these companies old enough to have any useful, relevant statistics?
Even if Windows Phone 7 is not significantly better than the iPhone and Android competition is a good thing, right? I've played with a device in store and it seems OK-to-good in comparison to my iPhone 4 (which is quite good). I think consumers will be better off if Windows Phone 7 is a credible phone platform, regardless of whether they actually ever use it because it will keep iPhone and Android improving.

This doesn't follow at all. All other things being equal, barriers to entry drive prices up, not down. If you want to argue that taxis are different than most other businesses in this respect, you're going to have to explain why.
If you have a website that respondes to HTTPS traffic and not HTTP traffic, and you are targeting everyday Internet users, you don't deserve traffic!

Most people dont understand the difference between the cryptic labels HTTP and HTTPS. Why should they? Why force users to become experts in Internet protocols to use the Internet?

Agreed. Have you tried the latest nightlies of Firefox 4? They're much closer to what I imagined browsing would be like today, ten years ago, than Chrome is (Firefox has new features like Panorama, and is as hackable as ever. Chrome has... the http prefix hidden? Seriously?). Ever since I started using Panorama, my productivity has shot through the roof.
I agree on point #6. Although I use cycling for meditation. Particularly road cycling in silent country roads.

Sit on a bike, clip-in feet (love that sound!) and then go on random roads for few hours, just focusing on how to take that next hill. When I get back to town, I'm soooo refreshed.
Ok, so digest authentication is safe against this new firefox extension?

Obviously a driver shouldn't be someone who is in the city for the first time. They know all the major points (like shopping centers).

The other points just shows that GPS have a bit to go yet, and they are going there. There are quite a lot of GPS solutions who get real-time traffic updates, construction, etc (look at waze.com)

The second point is true, wonder if there is a better way to solve it tho

My understanding is that any app can register itself for any of the hubs, so I don't see any technical reason why a twitter app can't go in the people hub.

No clue whose over-sight it is that the twitter app isn't already there.
I've seen everyone liked the (slightly creepy, I admit) "find girls near me" apps over the last few days, so I made one for my home. I think that whoever scales this type of thing to the whole US or even the biggest n cities could make a decent revenue stream out of it if it's done right.

This is, of course, assuming that those really are minutes of lost productivity. Truth is, you have to get up once in a while anyhow, for various reasons. And taking time to move and think can be beneficial to code, too.

It's also assuming that it takes time to get -back- into the groove after a walk-around. For me, it doesn't. If I have an idea in my head as I approach the computer, I'm right in there.

Yes, you're right, thanks. I was going to write more about architecture and features too, but it was getting long so I'll save those for a future post.
Which sites are you using this on? It only works on a few select sites (and you can add more with some more javascript code). It worked for me on my MBP on the main sites, twitter some igoogle.
Because from what I've seen, the Chrome devs appreciate concrete use cases. I've seen little of those, and many "plz fix it suxx!!!" posts, so I thought I'd contribute some, well, concrete use cases.
and lo and behold I find this:

Snap! I logged in, imported the OPML file and now it shows that you have no new articles to read.

Alright, maybe you are attempting to start from now-onwards but at least show me old / read articles?

How else do you expect me to read there?

Wassup with UI and design btw?
This is a very clever idea. Even if I don't implement it this way, your suggestion has inspired me to think outside the box.

Here's an approach that's a variation/refinement of my current one: Instead of just orphaning old clients when their sandboxes get GC'd, leave them with a local copy of their REPL history. If they try to use the REPL again after a long period of silence, a new sandbox will be allocated for them (as it would be for a fresh client), and all the commands in their REPL history loaded in to bring it back to its previous state.

This approach could potentially pave the way for users having persistent REPLs, even across page reloads.
Gee thanks. Now I've got a big red mark on my forehead where I smacked myself saying "Why didn't I think of that?" It's not hacky, it's beautiful.

What a pile of steaming doo-doo. Give the bees a hard instance of the TSP and watch them flail. Give a computer an instance that the bees "solved" and watch it solve it in less time than it takes a signal to travel from one neuron to another.

Brains are amazing things, bees are amazing critters, but hard instances of NPC problems can't be solved exactly by using these sorts of short-cuts. Soap film gives good solutions, but not necessarily optimal. Simulated annealing gives good solutions, but not necessarily optimal. Randomized shotgun hilll-descending gives good solutions, but not necessarily optimal.

Neural nets, either wetware or software, give good solutions, but not necessarily optimal.

There is still Blackberry, webOS, and Nokia. Already lots of competition. Adding Microsoft doesn't hurt but it's probably not helping much at this point.

But see that's the thing: already, you've agrees that it probably wouldn't be worth the effort to rate cabs on anything besides a single dimension (rating/quality/stars/whatever). At that point, why not simply have the city compile reviews and then require each taxi to paint it's number of stars on the side?

And for me, it's not even worth that. I just want a taxi that's insured.

I'm not against rating systems on top of what we have now. If it's worth it for you to wait a minute for a better cab, more power to you. (Hell, I might want to take some time to find a nice car if I were on a date or something.) But please don't take away the easy, efficient system we have now in most cities.

"Sell them virtual goods" seems to be the hot answer at the moment. It depends on what your app does, though -- if they're sticky users who care about their avatar, then sell them stuff. If they're transients taking a viral quiz, well, you're not going to get nearly so much money. (Though I heard of one guy who, for viral quizzes, would award people with a prize: a free trial signup to $AFFILIATE_OFFER. That apparently converted very, very well.)
I know, I will sort it out if it happens. I will have more control than now, at least.
