I have no idea who Tammy Camp is, I have no idea what conference she was banned from, I have no idea why she thinks she was banned from it, I have no idea who banned her, I have no idea of what the response from the other side (if there is an other side) is, I have no idea what happened.

Boostrapping a Forth in 40 lines of Lua code
I can understand this, but only in shops that don't have on-staff Linux people.

My company is rather Mac heavy, but we run Linux fileservers. Way more bang-for-the-buck.

That said, there are still problems: poor AFP performance when fetching directory listings from a large filesystem, and the necessity of using resource-fork-aware mv,rm,mkdir, etc., commands when on the Linux shell, in order to preserve metadata and resource forks.
> I have already listed several fundamental bugs that have resulted from the recent development processes at Google and Mozilla in my earlier post.

I see that you mentioned "broken" rounded corners and html5 video.

(1) For border radius, if you were stung by the change, you would had to have been using the vendor prefixed version of the property, which isolated you from a breaking change in the final property. Feel free to blame that one on the CSS working group, for changing the definition, or yourself, for not planning for the possibility that an explicitly-prefixed experimental property could change before being finalized.

Experimental implementations need to be made before a spec is finalized. You should absolutely use them, but only in circumstances where you monitor any spec changes and update your pages appropriately. If you can't, don't.

(2) For the video element, you might want to actually test for a bug before claiming to have been bitten by it: h264 support hasn't been removed yet. h264-encoded videos will play just fine in chrome.

Meanwhile full adblockers have existed in chrome for some time, and while tab isolation has been somewhat delayed in firefox, plugin isolation has done wonders for total crash rates.

Finally, there's a point that is well worth repeating these days: the W3C requires working implementations for specs to become finalized recommendations. The fact that you can use the latest HTML5 and CSS3 features, even if their spec isn't finished yet, isn't some kind of nefarious plot, and vendor prefixes, as annoying as they can be, just mean that we won't be burdened later if specs change before they are finished.

No one is forcing you to use shiny new things or experimental effects Stick to core functionality -- which I think you'll find all the vendors have done a great job at keeping from regressing -- and you'll be fine.

I doubt they feel I may not understand. I talk to them on various topics including stuff for adults. As for the fear of losing their jobs, most of them are classmates, not (ex-)workmates, so I don't see how talking to me about this might lead to losing their job.

By the way, I asked multiple times one of them about the "Women in Open Source/Free Software" propaganda and she told me she isn't very fond of this positive discrimination. She doesn't see any real barriers in working on software be it FOSS or proprietary. My speculation is that some people might not trust her abilities at first and make some jokes, but that's it.
I'll call BS on that. I work for a large multinational with a 20+ year history of PCs in the workplace, and Macs represent a growing proportion of the workforce laptop pool.

This is one case where I'm glad to be called BS on!
This is completely unsurprising. The licensing agreements with the studios mandate these kinds of measures. If Google didn't do it, they wouldn't be able to play the game.
scribd surely has prior art on this, in relation to their platform independent rendering of an intermediate representation of textural and graphical documents.
When I realized that a Kindle weighs less, is thinner and has identical readability to a book or newspaper, I switched. I can blow up the type size and read in less light than I need for a real book, without having a glowing backlight. They're only $140 which I made up in saved newspaper and magazine costs in about two months.

You do need to be more careful with moisture and dropping damage than with a book. (Buy the warranty.) But if you get non-DRM content or remove the DRM, you can give a copy away, which I love.

I do still buy used books when the book is unavailable but in a few years I expect that will not often be the case.
This thing of people always asking for hard numbers, sources, proofs for everything one says and if you can't provide them your words are worth zero is getting a bit tiresome.

Well, I said the first part of the above, but not the second. This thing where people put words into your mouth is getting a bit tiresome.

For the users, it is either this or no movie player for them. No movie player means a big product disadvantage compared to competitors, which is very bad for Google as a company.

The problem is not Google, it is DRM and DMCA.
Depending on how early stage they are (probably not TOO early stage if they're hiring a technical evangelist), they might be hiring for "team fit" as much if not more than an actual initial specific job. Small teams will value flexibility a lot more than larger companies. The bias I would have against non-bay-area non-startup people is that they might not be as much "self starters" or otherwise flexible.

I'm sure you can convince them of your technical competence and soft skills, so maybe focus on flexibility and being willing to do what is necessary. Plus, demonstrating your actual familiar with and love of their product and market.

It's a "sellers market" for tech talent in the bay area, so I think you've got a good shot.
I could be wrong but this doesn't seem like you guys trying to validate a couple of ideas. It seems more like validating an idea. Else it'd be any idea revolving around plants.

I wonder if they can keep this up? If they can successfully keep those devices blocked, there are other services that could be built on top of such technology, even if it's just Google throwing manpower and dollars at the problem to keep those cracking the system busy.
> You're so full of yourself it's amazing.

The only people who say that are people truly full of themselves. People who aren’t full of themselves would be too disgusted by such a comment to ever make it.
actually, about 12 weeks from the time a version enters dev channel to when it enters stable. If that's not enough time, then sure, stick to a slower releasing browser...or hire better devs. No one I've worked with in the last 3 years or so has had significant work keeping their apps from regressing, even as the rate of browser development has been increasing (and certainly no where near as much work as adding IE6 support to new applications).

There is a big difference between moving conservatively and not moving at all.
There was more substance to that comment than what you quoted.

I stand corrected.

But an increase in corporate penetration would increase the value of OS X as a malware target, and that is what drives malware.

Are that many corporate LAN/WAN really run so badly that people can run botnets out of them on a regular basis? If that's the case, it's disappointing. If it's not, then I'd be a bit shocked at the prevalence of illegal corporate espionage.

Personally, unless the conversation warrants (i.e. where it matters) to mention I'm a founder or CEO or anything of so-called C-level / executive rank, I try my best to leave it out. Instead, I usually say "I work for...".

Don't really think its silly but I find that most people don't call themselves a CEO unless you specifically ask for a title in those situations. It's more common for me to hear people say they're working on a new startup (as opposed to really saying they're exploring an idea).

Titles are meaningless in most cases in startups. We made it a point not to even include titles in our business cards on my last startup. It just doesn't matter.

The most interesting thing here, to me, is not that this happened — with the MPAA as it is — but this is the first time we've really seen something like this.

For example, the MPAA does not require Apple to block movie purchases or playback on jailbroken iPhones or Apple TVs. Maybe that something overlooked in the Apple contacts that they've gotten a chance to correct in their deals with Google?
This affects rooted devices only. Perhaps a little less than 1% of users will even notice.
um.....
fair enough, but I guess my point was that, while it might be a new batch of people encountering an unexpected consequence, it's the exact same unexpected consequence. I use google voice integrated into my phone's dialer (or whatever), which means I'm initiating the call. I know that it's actually calling a google voice number and then being redirected to my destination, but what appears to happen is that I call someone's mobile phone but don't get free minutes. same thing, right?
The new CA won't invalidate your old CA's cert. You want to preserve availability of the old CA's cert until the new one is deployed across all your servers.

In practice, SSL (with CA certified keys issued by lame public CAs) is only really protection from passive eavesdropping anyway; there are enough bad or lax CAs out there that you have to assume an attacker can get a key for an arbitrary site, or can steal a site (not protected in an HSM) from almost any site.

There's nothing really wrong with the X509 PKI in the abstract, but it doesn't really work well for real identity on the Internet. Protection from passive attacks is worthwhile, but it's not worth the disruption to your users to push beyond that to try to keep only one key at a time out there.

A difference between Tammy Camp and Noirin Shirley is that Shirley in addition to naming names, went and made a police report.

That takes Shirley's response from rumor, innuendo, and sex based side taking to falsifiable investigation.

It would suck to be Florian Liebert, but Shirley provided him her name and her direct accusation, and with that, Liebert can take legal action as he desires.

So I find Shirley's behavior admirable. Going after someone in print is a very gutsy thing for anyone to do.

I have no idea what happened to Camp, and I am certain it will promote flame wars, division, side taking, politicization, rumors, attacks, and as of this moment, there really is no reason to believe her apart from not understanding her motive to fake such a thing.
It's an interesting, principle case.

On another note, what would happen, if a tattoo artist used another artist's work on a customer? How will said customer have to comply, if the work tattooed is deemed to be an infringement on the original artist's copyright?

Whatever, anyone that is the victim of assault has a right to talk about it and publicly point out their assailant. Of course the accused has a right to defend themselves. They can blog their story too.

Of course this all may result cacophony of accusations and counter accusations but I do not see how this is worse than simply pretending it did not happen.

It is much preferred that they name the offending party than if they make general accusations in the direction of the tech business as a whole, which tend to paint all male engineers as potential rapists.

True. I withdraw.
IE9 has made some nice improvements, but I also ask myself why it still lags behind in so many ways.

For example, if I were writing this comment in IE9, I would not be able to see what spelling errors I made. It's 2011, and IE still does not have spell checking on text elements.

The IE9 GUI has also become unresponsive for me for double digit seconds several times.

There are literally dozens of little annoyances like these.

How these glaring issues continue to exist really is a good question. I think some of the other posts on this subject probably hit the nail on the head: Microsoft doesn't want the browser too good (since replacing native apps with web apps helps out competing operating systems), but at the same time, can't allow their browser to get too far behind, because with or without Microsoft's blessing, the web has made huge market advances.

Thus, they kind of catch up, making their browser just barely good enough for most people, but always fairly mediocre. It's the only reasonable explanation I can think of.

You can find bulk batteries for cheap at Costco, Home Depot, and a ton of other stores. They sell them in 24, 36, 72 packs for almost nothing. And there are deals online that make them even more lucrative at times. Can't remember the last deal I got but I think it was like 72 AA batteries for like $9. While that's not typical, what is typical is spending less than $10 for Energizer or Duracell AA batteries around 24 to 36 packs. These are pretty common and each battery lasts pretty long.

On the flip side, as others have said, rechargeable are only good for the first week or two you have them if you use them a lot. The charge doesn't hold after awhile and they suck. The charger and the batteries are expensive compare to the non-rechargeable alternatives.
Huh? I am not sure you know how the legal system works but accusations are supposed to be public. Criminal trials in the US and pretty much every free country start with an indictment which is the accusation of the crime the defendant supposedly committed and that is always public.
Oh great, someone to usher in a whole new generation of "This site only supported in Internet Explorer" javascript popups.

You already said your clients aren't asking for it and you're not providing it, are Chrome and FF honestly breaking your HTML4 and CSS2, or are you just exaggerating the problem rolling releases cause? Because given the choice between slow as shit browser releases tied to OS updates and anything else, I'll choose the latter because it's less headache.
The difference is of course: with Apple, rooting a device is not an officially sanctioned thing to do. With Google, it is.
Yes, you can, probably not too different in nature to Racket's syntactical sugar with using "[" (square brackets) to make reading the LISP code easier... And yes, your argument for their simplicity is actually what I was trying to express (much less successfully than you did).
I own an Android phone and I have a Hacker news App made by Ronnie Roller which is ad free.

Is this news-yc Iphone app in anyways different from the one I have installed as far as the features go? Just curious...

Also the ronnieroller Android app gets installed in phone harddrive instead of sdcard. Though it only takes uo 200KB, I cant move it for some reason, I dont really like that. There are other apps for HN on android market which I need to check.

I have been to an Apple store today (Downtown Toronto) after many years, as I live in a small town. The number of people in the store was much larger than many others in the mall, but I doubt that 95% of people there were actually making a purchase or planning what type of machine they want.

Saw a guy watching soccer, another checking convocation dates, other checking horoscope. Apple stores are becoming the free internet cafe. It doesn't matter that no-one is buying, as long as they are using a Mac.

And, sadly, I wasn't able to check exactly what I wanted to check, the resolution on a Macbook Air 13".
That's not what the law says. If Tyson paid the artist to design him a tattoo then it belongs to Tyson.

Most of these are valid, but:

11. Adult men complaining about having to wear a tie to formal restaurants, the symphony, and other events.

...is utter balderdash. The only restaurant that requires a tie is the French Laundry. The only reason to wear a tie to "symphony and other events" is if you are intent on participating in the insular "society" made up of dowagers. And unless you're running for office or a sycophant, why would you do that?
The infringer is the artist duplicating the other artist's work. The IP crime is not being committed by the customer.

Unfortunately, whilst you're not alone in your sentiment, the majority of users to whom Android devices are sold don't care either way, and those are the same users that make Google the most money.
OK,

I've vaguely looked at each of these, being a c++ programmer rather a "true" c programmer.

One thing that was a little annoying was their discussion about purpose of undefined behavior. That is, I don't believe "undefined behavior" in the C Language exists for speed as such. Rather, undefined behavior is machine-specific behavior and it exists in C so the programmer can write machine specific code, the C Language being a "high-level assembly language" or "system-programmer's Swiss army knife". Speed is one outcome, certainly but there are other ways to get speed (a Just In Time Compile can come at least close naive c code). The point isn't speed. The point is "do anything", the point is that a chip designer can write c code and look on his screen to see the resulting assembler and decide where to go from there.

It may be the llvm folks bypass this point because llvm is "virtual machine" rather than a chip. But it is slight annoying not to mention this if "What Every C Programmer Should Know"

Perhaps they should have called their article "what C-programmers should know about optimizing compilers..."
"work for hire" would mean the tattoo artist is an employee of Tyson.

I do not believe Tyson paid the artist as a W-2 wage employee.

If anything, he (the artist) would be acting as a contractor (1099), performing an agreed upon service to Mr. Tyson.

Google apps has shared contacts you can turn on.
From the article:

"The complaint includes a photograph of the tattoo being inked and a statement from Mr. Tyson agreeing that “all artwork, sketches and drawings related to my tattoo and any photographs of my tattoo are property” of Mr. Whitmill’s business."

Agreements aside, this is also an issue that comes up when hiring a programmer. If you pay someone to write code, don't you own the copyright on the code? Similarly, if you pay someone to photograph your wedding, don't you own the copyright on those photographs? In general, have a solid written contract clearly spelling out ownership issues and have it reviewed by a lawyer familiar with copyright issues before you engage someone in creative work.

I'm surprised that people are making this argument here on HN. Pricing has nothing to do with how many months a developer spent on an app. The consumer doesn't and shouldn't care about it anymore than a developer should care about how much effort someone took to earn and spend those five bucks.

FWIW, I think five dollars is ok for a niche app like this but "he spent a lot of time on it" doesn't sound like a legitimate justification for it (or for any pricing).
Nice. I've seen this done many times before but you seem to have nailed the concept.
