That's basically what we are going to have to do. There will be trade offs (carving time out of our roadmap, etc) and it's going to be a pita, but our space is one where some moron is going to sniff out a bunch of logins at a conference and pull some epic trolling and we'll have to spend time deleting the crap.

It's a shame that we can't go all SSL, but that's just the way it will have to be. The best we can do is make it difficult to hijack access to our tools that require elevated permissions.
WiFi only version already exists - it's called a PSP.

I doubt Nintendo would do that due to their business model - which is to make profit on every hardware unit sold. If they added all those features and had to do deals with carriers etc, I doubt they could make a profit on their hardware.
Eh? How is Javascript any more functional than Python or Ruby?
Even more simply - are you writing code for a von Neumann architecture (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann_architecture ), or something more abstract?

To my understanding the issue is not whether "state" has side effects (e.g. your global vs. local example), but rather whether there is any concept of "state" (e.g. shuffling stuff from one memory slot to another).

My experience is from Prolog, where the statement "X is X + 1" results in an error, because once unified, the variable X cannot be modified - X is not a memory slot. Once you try to let go of the idea of a machine with memory slots, alternative-paradigm programming gets a little bit easier. Of course in practice state is often needed, so it often gets added through some mechanism.
You can send `nonce + MD5(nonce MD5(username realm pass))`, and then it's not sniffable.
Mostly yes. And also the difficulties of attaching a touchscreen to the e-paper display (there must be a reason why only Sony does it).

Being unable to read in low-light conditions also bothers me sometimes. I keep Stanza installed on my iPod for that.
FastFlow: Programming Multicores
"The best todo system is the one you use".

For me, that's Things. It's important to have all three interfaces, iPad, iPhone, and Mac -- because it lets me use them in any context.

Since I always have one of these devices, it's superior to pen and paper. I'm more likely to use it, and it all syncs rather nicely.
Well, it's not GNU, and it is written for Linux. So, I think calling it a Linux command is OK.
Wow, that seriously sounds like SPAM!

Be human man, you are writing to a blogger.

I looked into FastFlow a few months ago. Its pretty interesting, especially the pipeline stuff. In the end, I decided to use Intels Threading Building Blocks instead, just because its more complete and better documented. Its worth keeping an eye on FastFlow though.
I'd say original iPhone comes close to that.
Your post reminded me of a quote from the movie Crash I thought I'd share.

"It's the sense of touch. In any real city, you walk, you know? You brush past people, people bump into you. In L.A., nobody touches you. We're always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other, just so we can feel something."

Having a baby changes everything. And it's weird how you can't even imagine it ahead of time.

To answer some of your questions:

- Your ability to produce will go down drastically
- Your priorities will change.
- You will be more tired, and your time will be at a premium.

I think the time issue is the main one. Especially for those reading this. I feel like a lot of hackers like sitting down for hours during your free time to do stuff - personal projects, items of interest, startups. Your free time really disappears with children (at least at early ages).

Not to say it's not rewarding in itself. It's just that it's like being in a cult. You can't understand until you're in it, and you can't imagine things any other way.
Really? Are you in the US? I am always able to get someone on the phone. Login to your paypal, goto contact and call the 800 number. They will give you a pin to enter. It may expedite your call.

That's exactly what prompted me to post this.

Communities such as HN, where intelligent discussion is rampant and trolls are minimal, are a rare breed these days and to see the community step up and start assisting each other in the real world is admirable to say the least.

Whilst I may not be a genius developer or a powerful CEO, I still have skills that could be of use to the element of the community that are looking for a new challenge or those who are struggling to find work.

I think a huge amount of people on this site will have something to offer that others will find incredibly useful so hopefully this will have a knock on affect and we'll see more and more offers of legitimate, useful assistance.

Http://www.googletrendsnow.info Site info and Backlink Generator
Well, here it goes:

1) White text on brown background is very difficult to read for many people.

2) Horizontal scrolling is bad.

3) The main headline is far too big. You should be able to take in a headline in a single glance.

4) The placement of the gigantic green button seems somewhat arbitrary. In general, those buttons always look as if they've been designed for a baby toy.

5) I'm forced to create an account to read a sample.

6) The "written about by" references are not clickable.

The general impression is that the site looks cluttered, trying to spread out a modest amount of actual information over as large an area as possible.
Ah yeah, DOMi. It’s true that it’s seriously out of date now, but at the time (pre Firebug 0.4) and when combined with the Venkman JS debugger it was the only decent way to properly understand what was happening with problematic dynamic pages.
It's overall a great thing that I wouldn't go back on, but it does have some negative repercussions on work, in terms of time to work on your own stuff, and even cutting into '9-5' type jobs. In some ways it's quite frustrating, actually, because you can't be there all the time for a child and also be there all the time for work.

I found it incredibly annoying that the numbers are formatted with the power of ten magnitude first, and the actual measurement last.

So, 3 cm is formatted as 10^-2 * 3 m, rather than the (in my opinion, correct) 3 * 10^-2 m. The power of ten is what is given a shorthand as "centi" in "cm", so it just disrupts it totally when they're swapped.

I realize the point is probably to make the order of magnitude more important than the actual value ("cm" is more interesting than "3 cm"), to get a sense of scale. Still, I found it ugly and hard to read.

Any thoughts on buying my founder shares and cofounders and early team stock via a rollover as business startup (robs), ideally from a Roth?

And or thoughts on same using small business jobs act of 2010.

Goal is capital gains and amt minimization for scenarios from 10mm exit at 18mo to ipo and billions in 10 years, just to cover possibilities.

The irony is I'd probably donate 90 percent after a certain amount.

Another issue with alternative ways of handling registration (and this is all a bit moot now, because I don't think anyone is ever going to change the laws and take all the parked domains back - except Libya) is how you would ever define that it is in use. People complain that they can't buy good domains when they have an idea for a project, but lets imagine you can buy any unused domain for $10 for your project. At what point do we determine that your project is never going to be viable and the domain should be surrendered? There are always discussions on HN about failed side projects, how would you feel if after 3 months, 6 months etc ICANN turned around and said you are not using that domain sufficiently, we're taking it back. I've got 5-6 projects that I have started that will probably never go anywhere, but I wouldn't want to give up the domain just in case.

Could you also imagine the costs involved with any arbitration process to handle that. If you had to build it into the average domain cost, you wouldn't be paying $10 anymore, in fact you might find a lot of domains are cheaper through the free market system that exists now.
Completely changed my life. I have a 3 week old. You have to relearn how to do everything. You have figure out new ways to do things that used to be easy:

I'm not giving up on my side projects though. My strategy has been to think about my project while actively caring for the baby and to sneak in some coding sessions while she's napping.
Has anyone gotten this thing to even work? Seems to rely on http://code.google.com/p/pypcap/ and when I attempt install from source the install.py turns out to be horribly useless.

My TODO system is more a motivational system than TODO list - I have a text file in which I record what I'm doing throughout the day with a resolution of ~5mins.

SO I might have:

08:30 - Wakeup, check social messages, read cartoons, breakfast.
08:45 - Shower, Clean Teeth, Shave.

Things which need doing in the future go at the bottom then when I'm starting them I can just put the current time on to mark them as current.

At the end of the day I divide the time into useful and non-useful blocks and calculate a ratio: useful time / time wasted.

It has had some unexpected but good effects, for example I cook myself much better meals. I know good food makes a difference to me and I allow myself that as time well spent. Previously I'd have been too worried about not doing X important thing and so have stressed out and wasted time on facebook instead.

I'm planning on making a web-app version of this, I'll do a HN post on it if anyones interested.
Google as I might, I can't find your story, but it sounds interesting! I don't suppose you recall the Author, Title, or Date? Anything at all to go on?
If your problem is simply about trust in terms of you pay the money and will they give you the domain, there are escrow services that handle this for you, and I sold a domain for $4K once via Paypal. It is not that difficult to safeguard yourself.
Why CMSes suck for front-end developers
Provides perspective
Disclaimer: I have a 3 yr old and a 2 week old

Running a start-up is tough (mentally, physically and emotionally). In my experience the emotional one is the toughest. Having a baby (and hence children) helps to put all the "junk" things into perspective.

Sure they impact on sleep / time - but so does my start-up (in this case they fit right in)
Maybe the best thing you can do is build that drive in others. Hell, I've got two web projects that have been meandering along for over a year, both not launch-ready - getting stuff out of the door is, for me (and I imagine many others), the biggest problem.

Perhaps you could be some sort of "entrepreneurial personal trainer" :)
Really? Every 64bit OS I know of can run 32bit programs.

At that point, the server will have to have received the MD5(username realm pass) at least once in order to verify the hash. You're better off not building your own schemes and instead trust existing solutions like SSL.
It's just that it's like being in a cult. You can't understand until you're in it, and you can't imagine things any other way.

This. I've got four daughters, ranging in age from 3 to 13, and even though the "baby years" are behind me (until the grandchildren come, presumably) things are still not "the other way"-- if I can even remember what that was like.

Real estate, like almost any other product, is not unique. There is always another lot.

Each domain name is unique. Try another domain name? Probably "on the market for sale."

I believe, even with trademarks, you have to file an intent to use (http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/process/appcontent.jsp). Maybe this is to stop trademark squatting?

So true. Before my kid was born (now 1½ years old), I optimistically thought I'll be able to work at home while baby caring, which turned out to be very naïve idea. It may work with a newborn, but definitely doesn't with a toddler.
The solution to this is simple: Roll your own.

3rd party CMSs seem like such a great thing when you first implement them. But after a while you always run into the things the author describes. There are simply no options out there that can compete with a simple CMS that you build from scratch.

Keep it simple, as in, a few textareas that accept HTML and spit it out verbatim. Deal with all the SEO bits such as good urls, meta descriptions, etc. so that it works in the correct way. Incorporate it into your actual site shell, as opposed to trying to create a fragile little WordPress theme that sorta looks like your site. Make it modular enough that you can drop it into every new project you do from here on out.

It'll take you two days to do this. If it takes longer, you're overengineering. Stop and redesign from scratch for the whole thing to live in two tables with a half dozen fields each. You don't need a little tree structure where you can drag nodes around, jQuery style. You just need a table full of content and a way to display it.

From there, it's maybe a few hours per existing site to rip out the garbage CMS you're currently using and retrofit yours in its place. You'll never look back.

Ok, dumb question time: Outside of things like banks, does anyone actually run a 100% SSL web server?

I thought the point of Firesheep was more "don't use unsecured networks" than "don't use websites that aren't 10% SSL." If it's the former, then this only does any good if the "victims" are the people providing the service. How many people do you think are going to notice this tweet immediately, realize where they were when it happened, and complain to the wifi provider (whose response, of course, will be "use at your own risk").

It might do some good for people running insecure networks at home, but the people that understand what happened and how to fix it would already be running secure networks at home.

It's not corruption if it is transparent.
The VNC implementation on OSX is particularly poor. It crashes and I have to manually restart it.

On Linux the VNC is an X client so one can have multiple instances running each exposing with their own graphical shell.

Does Windows RDP do that ? (I don't know).

TightVNC works the best with low speed networks, it uses JPEG encoding too.

BTW. is is also against the Windows EULA to use VNC server on it !

The above comment shows the early stages of eugenic thought. Separating people out into more- or less-evolved is a very dangerous thing to do. Or perhaps it’s just an unfortunate choice of words.

I have a 4.5 month old daughter and my life has changed in the following ways:

- every day is much more structured around the baby. Get home from work, feed her, put her to bed at 8:30pm, she wakes up at 6am, feed her, go to work, etc.

-Its like being on-call 24-7 so expect very few opportunities to get in the "flow state" when working on your app/startup.

- I have a full-time job (not related to software) and in the past I planned to quit to work on a startup full-time but my risk tolerance just went to zero as I now worry about having money for the baby. My startup will need to be throwing off at least 2x my current salary before I consider quitting my job.

- Its hard to have your own time to do anything, let alone work on a side-project.

You're right. I didn't assume that the initial page can be hijacked as well. My small hack was just to try and work around the problem, while I understand it's best to rely on proven solutions like SSL when things get serious.

I would love to incorporate more nuts into my diet- I love them- but they seem very expensive as a rule. Is that just the way it is, or is there a cheap way to get nuts going?

That wasn't the reason for Hashing the password before sending it to the server. It's common knowledge that a lot of people use the same password for many lower-rung services.

So if I send MD5 ( Password + Salt String), even if the attacker sniffs this and logs on as the user, the original password string isn't compromised, despite the fact that the salt string is publicly visible.

The worst thing for Digg is that the narrative is no longer 'cool new site called Digg', it's now 'Digg is losing it's numbers'. The narrative will be included in stories for the next 12 months, unless they can produce some major numbers to comprehensively reverse the trend.

The worst thing about this narrative is that the company itself isn't in control of it.

And I get the feeling Digg is on the road to becoming a cautionary tale in bullet point presentations, the Friendster of social news.
