Ask HN: implementation of W3C clipboard APIs?
It'd be really nice to write web apps that interacted properly with the OS clipboard.

There's (non-standard) support on IE, and one can write to the clipboard using Flash-based hacks like Zero Clipboard (http://code.google.com/p/zeroclipboard/), but the state of the art makes it impossible to write a web app that functions as the user expects.

It turns out that there is a W3C working draft "Clipboard API and events" at http://www.w3.org/TR/clipboard-apis/.

I'm surprised to find that this hasn't been implemented yet.

Could those with experience on the major FOSS browsers share the reasons for that? There are a lot of devs wanting it, so presumably there's a good reason that it hasn't been done.

Or is it simply a matter of effort & prioritisation? Would one of the FOSS browser projects (Chromium, FF) accept a patch with clipboard API support if it were proffered?
I don't know if it's worth getting into the high-level programming vs. low-level programming debate.

A good buddy of mine is a hardcore game programmer and we both give each other crap. He says I'm not a "real programmer", and I tease him about waterfall development and day-long compile times, but in the end we have mutual respect for each others' skills. It takes intelligence and years of dedication to master either one.

Getting into buildings and 'breeching the perimeter' is actually ridiculously easy, even in high security facilities.

Getting into a locked room with no drop ceiling and no faked credentials is pretty damn hard (unless, of course, they're using this lock, heh).
"But this means that common use is to have two pages or tasks side by side."

Is this common? I've never known another person who does this outside a dual screen setup.
I forgot to mention, regarding taxes you may be able to take unpaid bills as deductions, they are business losses. So be sure to mention this to your accountant.
This is definitely one of my biggest complaints as well. I'd love to see them follow the lead of Amazon Prime and let me specify other accounts within my household that I want to be able to share books (and perhaps other media) with.

The iPad had 2,000 apps on launch day: http://techcrunch.com/2010/04/02/best-ipad-apps-launch/

Hell, even the HP TouchPad had 300 at launch a month ago (which may even be more than Honeycomb had then, there's no way to tell due to that Market issue).

I don't know why there's so few apps for Android tablets, but I haven't seen any signs of the numbers getting much higher. And it's not like developers haven't had both 6 months to work and (for some) free Google I/O tablets to develop on.
Most Americans equate Chinese made goods with cheap, shoddily made goods. But yet they see that Chinese mothers are superior and that these tiger moms are producing A+ test-taking kids. Even the fresh-off-the-boat Chinese kids that arrive in America excel in the public school system within a year or two, though they knew no English upon first arrival. So if the Chinese method of child-rearing produces adults that are super achievers, they should certainly be capable of receiving an A+ in Business Innovation and beating Americans pants down.

The transaction info available on the Starbucks site and mobile app is pretty limited, but I can see that the transactions are listed as "In Store Purchase". For example:

http://cl.ly/3H1j3g443X0y0O3j2M2L

Unfortunately, there is no info about which stores the purchases were made in, and the history only goes back about 20 transactions. It does look like some people are making large purchases, which is jerky, but not totally unexpected.

Thanks,

I've been traveling abroad and set up a VPN on a Linode box for some basic security and to bounce through the US for things like Netflix and Hulu. If nothing else this post's comments have unveiled some good turnkey VPN solutions, so thanks!
This is a great post because it does two things: first, it shows that you don't necessarily need an out of this world design for your first version, but also, that it pays to upgrade your design once you have the means. But, like a lot of people are saying, the one thing this article lacks is a demonstration of the designing generating more business than the previous version. Here's hoping that Gift Rocket does a follow up post comparing stats from the before and after.
... except it's at-will. If you can't negotiate a rate that makes you feel like you're not being exploited, and introduce boundaries that keep you sane, you're doing it wrong.

Hah I love the look on her face when he compares it to marriage.
Yes, exactly so. And the company's HR department will interpret the lack of response as: "The screening worked, yet another incompetent guy never replied since obviously the only reason someone wouldn't beg and do tricks is because they are dumb! Wow we are really saving a lot of time with this screening!" What they fail to realize is that the "beg and do tricks" method screens out those of us who are competent.

OK, let me ask some questions to calibrate your set up and see where you're coming from.

1. What is the width in inches of your display and how many pixels.

2. How many inches from your eyes to the screen in a normal working position?

3. Is your browser set to full screen width right now?

4. How many words per line are there across the screen in this page of hacker news on your set up?
Thanks, I'll check that out too.
Patents and Unions: When good intentions go horribly wrong
I normally don't browse side-by-side, but it's fantastic for translation from scanned originals. (My two bits.) Way easier nowadays.
I can't keep from noticing the texture in the background, so the text might as well not be there. I gave up on trying to "design" my own blog and just focused on making it mildly appealing and easy to use. No complaints so far.
Hey angryasian thanks for the feedback. Just to be clear, I didn't ask for this post to be written, or submitted to HN. But I'm really sorry you feel that way. It's honestly not my intention to spam the community. Every article that I've posted has been to share my experiences with the people on here and to get their thoughts/criticism about what I'm doing. I'm not an evil spammer from a country you can't pronounce. I'm a UPenn student who knows how to program and is trying to make it at startups. The beauty of Hacker News is that it's very hard to get anywhere if you aren't contributing anything valuable. The greatest part is that if I've stopped providing that with my posts they will never make the front page because people will recognize that and not upvote them. I would love to talk to you more about the competition in the market, your thoughts on Hacker News and anything else you want to talk about.

There are lots of seasonal and limited edition candies in Japan that I think is difficult to find elsewhere.
Absolutely. My wife and I do the same thing with content from the iTunes store via Home Sharing. No way we'd buy separate copies of electronic books.
Thanks :) that's the idea. I'm still at the point where I'm trying to figure out what works and what doesn't. That's why I've concentrated my efforts on doing a lot of small projects. I feel like if I keep doing a lot of different projects one has to work. And I think I may have found that with DomainPolish. Even though, as angryasian pointed out, there are already competitors. I think competitors in a small or new market are sign of proof that the concept works rather than a reason not to do something.
I love the design from a pure aesthetic point of view but if you're going for commerce it's "test or die" because at the end of the day conversion metrics rule your business. I'd like to know how this new design contributed to their bottom line. Also, no offense to the very talented designer, but looking through his portfolio the current style follows a lot of his other work, hence not too much originality to distinguish it from his other clients.
Jonathan here:

I see what you're saying, and of course it is possible that some jerk is buying gift cards with the card.

That said, it's worth pointing out that the tweet stream is not real time and it doesn't have every transaction. The card balance is scraped from the sbux site every minute and posted to Twitter if it has changed since the last tweet. When there are multiple transactions in the same minute, the changes get aggregated. This can result in some strange looking numbers.

What I think we're learning here is that if someone wants to reload the card, lots of little transactions over time is better than one big one. Or, perhaps the balance should not be tweeted.

Thoughts?

This is exactly the problem I run into as a technical person with an MBA. It's very hard to demonstrate broad technical knowledge via a cover letter and CV. Without languages and acronyms recruiters have nothing to match up my "skills" against.

Begrudgingly. But, I've probably just turned into a curmudgeon who prefers the now-deprecated Xcode 3.

I don't dislike Xcode 4 enough to start using TextMate and xcodebuild/xcrun, though.

Note: I am NOT Dan Shipper.

You are entirely correct. Dan's product does have competition, and maybe the other products do have better price points. We have talked about these other offerings before our lunch discussion. Other people have mentioned this point to Dan already.

However, this post was not about Dan's product specifically, but it was about what I learned from him while he and I were talking over lunch. I did reference what Dan was doing a lot in the post, I will agree, but you could apply these ideas to pretty much any project a person works on.
How to Recover your Lost and Damaged Data
I dropped my laptop accidentally and cause the screen to cracked. Not only that, it damaged the hard drive and cause some bad sectors on it. I went to a friend who happens to be a computer genius and run this program called HDD Recovery Pro. It does all the work of recovering my precious data and problem solved.
I don't have any issue on the aesthetics as these are subjective. On any point on the spectrum of utilitarian and flamboyant you win/lose some audience effect. The trick is to rest on the spot where your target audience's visual preference resides.

The issue here (at least on the front page and mobile screen) is the Information architecture. Putting the graphic first before the tagline pitch is not very effective (the graphic is a visual aide not the other way around) and a form instead of a call to action button doesn't also work. The next set of info is too far below the fold, etc.

I can see that its layout is inspired by the Facebook logged out home page. But this is not a household-known social network but an app that does one thing and a bunch of extras so the goal is not to dazzle then cause action but to inform to cause action.

In my humble opinion this exercise took some important aspect of the product backward in terms of informing users more efficiently and I would imagine the load times (for the website) also adversely affected. Im not saying you should scratch this redesign but refine this version more and hopefully iterate to one that is pretty and informative (and faster!)

I'm forced to download and install all seventy gajillion gigabytes of it in order to get OS X to build anything in different languages like Ruby and Python.

I'd love it if I could just download build tools from the App Store rather than installing all of Xcode itself.
How does this answer the question? You said it was common. I asked if it was really that common. What is your source? It's an important question to ask if you're designing something because it determines how much work needs to be done.

It's why I've considered adding j/k support to my blog. It wouldn't be worth the effort for most things other than a tech blog.
I find myself trying to do vim keystrokes in XCode, but I've tried using vim for editing iOS code and it's just not as enjoyable as using XCode. I use vim for everything else, though.
They don't. They do have an RSS feed that you can monitor with your favourite feed aggregator: http://status.linode.com/rss.xml
You could narrow it down using standard mimetypes even if the alternate representation is a xml derivative. application/svg or whatever the mimetype for that is. The encoding for svg is well defined; SVG tags merely lend structure to the content. The same goes for HTML and any other markup.

I'm undecided now though.

It's a slippery slope with custom representations. With generic XML or JSON, you still need a priori knowledge of the content to parse the reprentation manually. Then the benefit of a nonstandard mimetype is simply to be absolutely explicit about your content. Whether that should be canonical, I'm not sure.
Lanyrd is good, and I use it, but it certainly doesn't beat talking with a group of like-minded people about common interests.
Thanks for your reply. I noticed an autoreload button in the screenshot and an idea I had is maybe it is possible to utilise 2 cards and reload one with the other when the balance goes below a certain amount? This would stop a person taking a large amount in a single transaction.
> It isn't our current debts that have people concerned. It's the combination of current debts and unsustainable future obligations, which are so large that they in fact can't be paid down by just raising taxes.

Who is proposing that we only raise taxes, without cuts? The entire Democratic 'compromise' is effectively all cuts.

> The "evil Republicans" are the only ones taking actions that may mean that Social Security still exists for anyone in 2050.

The "evil Republicans" hyperbole might be helpful in dismissing the fact that both parties are horribly complicit in the problem we have now. Neither one of them have done anything meaningful to cut budgets for any of their favorite projects. And that hyperbole ignores the fact that there is a significant percentage of Americans that do not identify with either party [1], and as such are not blaming the 'evil Republicans'.

I vote that you encourage people to make lots of little transactions over time versus just getting rid of the balance.

The balance is really neat to see and it keeps people engaged and thinking about this project, even if they're not actively partaking (like myself, at the moment).

The smaller installments of cash also help others realize that it's okay to submit small amounts and increase the likelihood that more than just one person with a large purchase will benefit.
Awesome! just signed up :D
I tried for awhile to get a workflow going with Xcode and Emacs, but came to the conclusion that I just have to suck it up and use Apple's tools front-to-back to build Cocoa stuff (that may just be me; for instance, I think Marco Arment uses TextMate alongside Xcode).

I don't use Xcode for anything but that; notably, if I'm writing C code, even C code that I might end up calling from Cocoa stuff, I'm doing it in Emacs.

I am an actual lawyer.

Threats mean you're using the threat of police action (criminal procedures) to gain an advantage in a civil dispute.

Fuck the civil dispute ("You owe me money". "No I don't"). This guy is past that.

Badclient has a criminal beef with the bad guy in SF, in addition to the civil dispute.

Two separate things going on. Civil. Criminal.

Don't mix them up.

Strategically you don't write demand letters. They're a waste of time. I refuse to write them for clients.

Just act. Step 1, the bazooka. (Step 2 is that a judge orders restitution under pain of jail if the bad guy doesn't pay).

So, badclient, tomorrow is Monday. Load your bazooka.

My thoughts immediately went to Stephenson. Quite a good job by the blogger. Nell, in the primer, is able to eventually delve deeper into more technically dry and intensive material. In your FAQ you mention the site is only meant to cover topics at a higher level of understanding. In the long term it would be interesting (although undoubtedly difficult, and perhaps even against the writer's intent) to try this story telling at a more technically intense level.
why don't you just strip the DRM on the books you buy? It won't help with the social network stuff because Kindle doesn't "see" the stripped versions of the book, but it would allow you to have two accounts for the purposes of 'hope to read', 'reading', etc

I wonder where this lowest tax burden comes from. My BC Canada income tax is pretty much identical to my California Income Tax. Does it really mostly come from the mortgage intrest deduction??
Cocoa without first-class autocomplete is too horrible to contemplate. Unfortunately my 2010 MBP, which ran XCode 3 quite well, doesn't seem to be up to the task of running XCode 4. You know something is wrong when XCode makes Java IDEs look lean & snappy.
Can you put spending limits on a card? Or disable it entirely?

What I'm wondering is if you can have a deposit-only card, which transfers funds to the live card to keep it topped up at $10. Downside is some people have to wait an extra minute or two for free coffee; upside is someone trying to clean out the account has to spread it over a bunch of transactions, which even if it doesn't stop everyone probably raises the barrier to entry.

A PayPal account could also work for this.

Then you could broadcast a rough total balance, and just have a binary indicator for when the live card gets topped up.
Unless you're suggesting it's the user's fault for not running Windows like he should, I'm not sure how you're thinking it's not Adobe's fault.
At some point though you have to balance the budget or they won't be sustainable.
If I could find an easy way to ditch XCode and still do productive iOS development, I'd abandon it in a heartbeat. The one saving grace of it is that it supports a decent number of Emacs style text editing shortcuts (a side effect of OSX using Command rather than Control for normal shortcuts).
I use XCode for iOS/Mac development, but not really all too happy with it. I use Vim for everything else, and I too find myself trying to use Vim keybinds in XCode.

My first iOS application (for iOS 2) was done on a Linux machine in vim and makefiles, because my iBook G4 wasn't good enough to run gcc, apparently.

Might switch back to that (or maybe replace makefiles with cmake)

Exactly the point I took away from that test, it matters much more how you drive (calmly rather than aggressiely) than the car that you drive. This was even confirmed on mythbusters in their driving calm versus driving angry 'myth'.
Reading is more comfortable when the text is not sized to the entire screen (cite below, with more references).

This was a cafe that sold crepes and coffee. They were trying to get people to think of them also as a dinner place. They did a Living Social deal that for $40 let you come in six times (no more than once in a given month) for two entrees and a bottle of wine or a drink of your choice.

They got 1200 takers.

Like the auto repair deal, this one is a loser, depending on the customers buying other things to turn it around. Unfortunately for the cafe, the customers with the deal did not buy other things. They would not buy appetizers or desserts. They would just come in once a month for their six months, get their two entrees and a drink, and that's it. The owner says she lost $100k.

This blows my mind. The cafe owner should know exactly how much she is spending for each deal that is purchased. It's a marketing expense; each deal also has some estimated upside (repeat buyer, up-sell on the original visit, etc). By not placing a limit on the number of deals sold, the owner gave herself an unlimited risk. Why not just place a reasonable limit on the number of deals, thus capping the potential exposure to an acceptable level?

The problem with Android being open source is that Google hasn't really got much control over what happens with it. Everyone can tweak it for the better or worse, and lately its mostly been for the worse.

However, if you don't want to root or get a nexus, I've found that simply installing one of the many launchers available for free mostly does the trick of cleaning up your phone (touchwiz, blur etc get removed and you can hide apps completely if you like). Also, this seems worst in the US, where the carrier situation is -forgive me- completely fucked up. I haven't had issues anywhere similar with bloatware here in europe.

I can only hope, but if capitalism works and people don't like scins and crapware on their phone, the cunts in charge right now will eventually realize it's smarter to leave Android as it is because more people will buy it. I'm still waiting though.
