Ask HN: How do you share links/images within a closed group?
So, my wife and I (mostly) use Skype chat to share links with each other when the links are only meaningful to us. eg, during a session of buying something, we send links back and forth.

Our current flow, which I don't like, is copy link from url bar -> find skype window -> paste & send

I pulled this slide from a Lucene Revolution presentation: http://www.box.net/shared/in1hpkgdyndxafs7hu06 The presenter and his significant other were looking for a new car to buy and he sent links to her via email and got comments back. This is another use case I am trying to describe.

What tools do you use for such use cases? Mozilla F1 (http://f1.mozillamessaging.com/) seems to be the closest one that integrates nicely with the browser and contact lists but it is more tailored to public sharing. And I guess I am looking for something between email and IM.

People make the same mistake again and again with code generation and this goes back as far as CASE tools and Microsoft wizards. The key thing is that you should never use anything where you cannot "debug at the level of the abstraction" as Dave Thomas puts it (Smalltalk Dave, not the pragprog guy). That's why the analogy with a compiler breaks down: You never have to debug the assembly or look at it for any reason except if you are doing real embedded stuff and even there if you end up having to look at or debug the generated assembly frequently then it would be better to work exclusively in assembly. i.e. Its hard enough to map a program into your head, doing it at two levels is impossible to do without making a mess.

People (including me) like to delude themselves though. "I'm not a web/database/embedded developer. Here's a tool that will give me a quick win". But in the end because you find yourself debugging the mess that it generates you have to rewrite by hand anyway meaning that in the long run a quick win turned out to be twice as long as just sitting down and learning how to do it. BTW I think that DSL's could be the next thing that leads people down this path. A great idea but...

If both you and your wife are on Google+ I've found that direct sharing (i.e. you sharing only to her and vice-versa) seems to work reasonably well. It is browser-integrated and Google+ notifications generally mean you'll each find out something has been shared reasonably quickly.

"The biggest problem for Google+ (IMHO) is that people are tired of using social networking not that people are tired of using Facebook."

I think this is true to an extent. But I would refine it even further, because the distinction matters: People are tired of using social networking sites. Walled gardens. Neo-portals. Whatever you want to call sites like Facebook, of which Facebook is simply the most prominent and successful example. (Also, I would be careful to distinguish that, by "people," we really mean "some people." Clearly, not everyone is as sick of social networking and/or Facebook as we might like to think.)

Some elements of social networking will always be useful, and people will probably want to continue using them. But I question whether everyone will keep wanting to use a central destination/portal for all their social networking needs.

This could be a very good thing for Google+. But only if Google+ resists the temptation simply to build a new Facebook, and make the Google+ site the core of the Google+ experience. That's not the way to go. And Google doesn't need to go there, because it can monetize its user activity in so many other ways. Google+ still has room to evolve into a distributed, decentralized social networking experience -- wherein social networking is a feature, and not a destination.

Of course, that sort of experience might still be a ways off. And it still raises the thorny question of who owns the central pillars in the social platform, like user identity and the social graph. (Though, if the history of social networking -- and even of email services -- has anything to tell us, it's that users don't necessarily mind rebuilding identity/credentials and graphs all that much, up to a point).
One of the heuristics I implemented in my A, was to link information from the AI back to the routing grid. For example A will always pick the shortest route, however this isn't the best route. Imagine you have the AI pinned down in a building and the route finder picks a route out of the building, well it's likely to pick the shortest route (out the front door). So all the player has to do is put the cross hair over the door and keep shooting.

Now sure you could write some code to 'fix' this issue. Or you could let the problem fix itself. If when an AI pawn is killed at a certain point, I added a penalty to the surrounding nodes. This made the route more and more expensive over time, after a short while the AI decided to use the back door and walk around the building.

The important part of this is the player perception. To the player it looks like the AI is flanking the player, and they're like 'woooo cooool', which is the effect you're after.
2016? That's quite optimistic.
GMail 2-step verification costs
Does anyone know how much Google spends on the SMS account verification feature in GMail?
Very cool. There are some minor issues though.

Here is my sketch: http://sketchub.com/view/d4b8fcb36fe4b078b100069bafebd352

I'm using a Thinkpad with Wacom enabled display and stylus. It 'should' say 'hello world' 3 times and have an underline after each one.

In the saved and view only link, it shows a 4th 'hello world' on the left and more slanted. It was erased before my real test.

It seems to miss certain strokes as you can tell by the sketch. Mainly straight lines. This might have been caught as trying to move the sketch area, but it did not move or register the line.

(As a control test to check display and stylus, I wrote the same text in OneNote and it was handled fine.)

Google do not promote builds of Chromium since they want users using Chrome. If you want to run Chromium, the open source browser, but do not want to build it yourself, you can download the latest builds (and older builds) for all the different platforms from the buildbot server:

Surely buying is the safest long term scenario? I wouldn't want to be renting when I'm retired, as you become totally dependant on the rental market (i.e. if rents shoot up, you're screwed). Even if the housing market tanks and my house halves in value, at least I'll have somewhere to live.

If I look at my friends parents who live in some nice parts of London, there is zero chance they could afford to rent the houses they live in now, the ones they bought 30 years ago.
Be genuinely interested in people. You can learn tricks to appear social, but it will be fake. If you find yourself in places where you find it hard to talk to people, you're probably not that interested in talking to them anyway. It's ok if you don't.

Seek out places and people which actually interest and excite you. You will know what to say (like you just did here).

"If you have something to say, then say it. If not, enjoy the silence while it lasts. The noise will return soon enough. In the meantime, you're better off going out into the big, wide world, having some adventures and refilling your well. Trying to create when you don't feel like it is like making conversation for the sake of making conversation. It's not really connecting, it's just droning on like an old, drunken barfly."

Somebody else mentioned the benefits of semantic HTML for saving bandwidth / crawlers.

I'm going to mention something else: fluidity.

It is very easy to patch together a good looking design in Photoshop. But the Photoshoped-content does not move. The window cannot get resized. The divs are not flowing, they are not resized or shrunken as the user moves the window handles.

Also, while CSS has many flaws, it does provide separation of presentation from content.

Many authors prefer writing entire books in Latex. Do you know why? It's because of the What-I-See-Is-What-I-Mean style of writing, which is far better as from a single Latex source you can generate HTML, PDF files and optimized ePubs, for whatever medium you desire and have it look exactly as you intended it to look.

HTML is also about developing input-interfaces.

I did work with Delphi, also with the editor in Netbeans called Matisse, which does a kick-job at defining Swing interfaces. Also worked with Visual Studio and with Adobe Flex Builder -- nothing comes close to the ease with which I work with HTML.

Heck, I'm working on a desktop client right now that just embeds a webkit view with native-hooks, simply because I don't feel like learning yet another sucky GUI-toolkit that will disappoint me in one way or another.

Also, I started my webdev carrier by using Adobe Dreamweaver. It was one of the dumbest things I ever did.

This post and discussion thread hits a sensitive topic for me. Here I was, recently thinking that I might be the only one having this feeling. I guess it's part of evolving and part of life and I try to convince myself with "Heads up! Keep on fighting the good fight."
Well, if we are, then this certainly isn't the only industry in which everybody is a fraud. Look at the people who make movies, or generate electricity, or trade stock, or grow corn. Look at the people who run our various countries.

It's a really unnerving day when you realise that the whole thing is run by human beings.
It does not! But the usual way people get around this is connecting to IRC using an IRC bouncer or irssi on a server somewhere and then connecting to that. This way you are "online" the whole time. But it's a thing everyone has to set up individually.

The other way it's handled is by having a bot sitting in channels (doing things like pushing warnings and error notices from your server, too) that records logs. Then you can visit a webpage that the bot hosts with the transcripts on. I'm sure there are packages that perform the logging directly on the server and host them, but it's useful to have some unlogged rooms, too.
And, not to mention no business owner want to get locked
into a solution, they want their "data" transferable and

That's a weird thing to say. Why do many business continue to use things like MS Office - or rather, its fabulous file formats then? Or other vendor-lock-in products? Don't misunderstand me, I'd wish all businesses would think like this, because open standards are infinitely superior to vendor-specific file formats. But unfortunately, most don't.
I'm doing the same. I just share the link to the appropriate circle (I have a ton of overlapping circles - I'd rather select one circle from a long list than build up my share targets from small distinct circles) and voila.

They immediately get notified, and if they reply, I get a notification aswell, and neither of us had to leave the browser. With the G+Me chrome addon, this is all painless and straightforward.
I often hand my laptop or iPad to my wife so that she can look at something/use it for a few minutes while sat on the sofa (her computer is a desktop in the other room).

I normally don't bother logging out of whatever sites I'm logged in to.

I'm not too bothered what she sees if she opens up the Facebook tab with me logged in - but I can see that it may be a problem for some.

And I don't think that "hand it over for five minutes to check something" is that uncommon a use-case.

Auto Transport Madison, Wisconsin
When I was young, say 10-13 years old, I had a mormon jingle stuck in my head, at one point I thought it was divine intervention, leading me to cryptic origins: "ladder day saints", at the time I wondered what the heck that was, a ladder with saints on it? It would take me another 12 years for me to learn enough about psychology and jedi mind control to figure out that this jingle stuck in my head (making me thing it was divine) was hand crafted by a humans.

We have to be careful to immunize the children against this bacteria that transfers over the medium of TV, radio and google search. Forget to do so and you find your kids committing everything they are, every last dollar to a mind control cult. Good citizens don't let their children become prey to drones.

It is wrong to use a mastery of psychology to get people to dance like puppets and give you money. If I find you doing this to others, I will work to expose you.

I think it's a Marketing issue. The article describes it as self-image related. This could be true, and it's successful Marketing for Apple to convince buyers that they're special.

These are the types of people who will use the phone to communicate more, and will buy more apps.

I disagree, it most certainly is a privacy issue. You may share a computer with friends, room mates, and significant others. If someone had access to your facebook account they could read all your messages, but this is something we are all aware of. Up until now I was _not_ aware of the fact that someone gaining access to my account could actually discover which profiles I frequent, which is like having a browsing history I did not know about, which I cannot even clear/remove after I learn about it. This is what makes it problematic.
Just like PNG output from Photoshop, soon HTML+CSS output from design applications will beat most humans, or at least be reasonably close so that this complaint doesn't apply any more. It's not very hard to do a lot better than the source code of this web site.

Will Google design their homepage with Muse? No, they want to hand optimize it. Will people design websites for small businesses that get accessed a handful of times per day with something like Muse, when its output gets better? Yes. It might not make nerd-sense, but for a lot of sites it does make business-sense to have an increased page size in return for saving a lot of design and development time. Think of it this way: of all the things a person designing a website for a small company might spend their time on, is reducing page size the most profit increasing activity?
If this is a reaction to iMessage, I wonder if Verizon will react similarly (and carriers overseas, for that matter).

I'm of the opinion that a university degree is less about learning the subject matter, and more about teaching you how to learn. So a programmer who has not completed a degree may be a fantastic programmer, but one who has done a degree may have a few extra skills on top of simple programming skills.

I.e. Communications skills, analytical thinking, knowing where to look for solutions, how to ask the questions that improve your knowledge and the proven ability to see through a project etc...

I registered just so I could say this. People keep comparing HTML to Assembly. Come on. HTML is probably the highest level you can get when talking to a computer, at least for the foreseeable future.

I think the more appropriate comparison is to those software generators, or whatever they are called, in which you drag and drop buttons and text fields and have arrows (or something) to convey action.

You don't see a lot of good software made with those, now, do you?

HTML is not Assembly. It's not even C. It's Python, or Ruby.
