Complete nitpick:

At the very end of the movie there's a sequence in which
the original opening words of the Star Trek series are
spoken by Leonard Nimoy. Like they've done from my
childhood, these words still send shivers down my spine.

"Space. The final frontier. These are the voyages of
the starship Enterprise. It's continuing mission to
explore strange new worlds. To seek out new lives and
new civilizations. To boldly go where no man has gone
before."

In the original series it wasn't its "continuing mission", it was its "five year mission".

And the "It's" shouldn't have an apostrophe.

Of course, any nipicking comment like this should have, somewhere, an error of its own. I wonder what it is.

But as to the content itself, it's pretty simplistic, but to my mind accurate enough. What I do isn't as great and as grand as trekking around the galaxy in a space ship, or star ship, or whatever, and I don't run life-threatening risks.

But I do work hard, I am exploring the difficult, and sometimes I like to think I make a difference.
How to find a cofounder as a teen
This is follow-up from: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2836268

Hello Ask HackerNews,

After thinking through all the responses I received on here and elsewhere, I've decided it would be beneficial to seek out a cofounder, but I'm not sure how to go about it because of my age.

I have an idea, I really want see through, but I have a problem. First and foremost, I have school starting in about a month. This will limit my ability to work throughout the day. Secondly, I'm finding a hard time thinking of a reason why someone would want to work with me. I come from a technical background, specializing in web languages like html/css/js/php/sql. This application to be made well would need to be coded in Node.js which I have little familiarity with. Furthermore, I'd need a designer, because I'm worthless at that. Where do i fit in?

What do you suggest I do to seek out a founder who is interesting in dumping time and committing to working on this project with me.

I like the elegant, minimal notation. Tastefully designed. But... the inflexibility gets to me. (It must be unique in a modern language that have lambdas/list comprehensions/etc with just single [edit:] statements?!)

I actually would say it's relatively good as hacks go. It does a pretty good job of keeping the end goals in mind while dealing with some really tough obstacles. For one, it's browser agnostic, which makes the system much more manageable for all involved. In addition, it doesn't rely on people using the same copy of the same browser each time they sign in for any significant part of its functionality, and minimizes security risks if multiple people use the same browser. There's no way a browser-based solution could address any of those problems in the foreseeable future, if ever, and that not only would create huge headaches for developers, but would also alienate significant portions of users who still use public systems for at least some of their internet access.

Completely aside from that, I'm not sure I see why you think browser support would be so much better of a solution, aside from having a more uniform interface. Combating phishing is primarily an issue of being intelligent about what sites you give your information to. Any decent form-based authentication system will send the data in an encrypted form, which will be as secure as data encrypted by the browser's built-in authentication system. Just having the browser as a middleman doesn't help if your data gets sent to or intercepted by the wrong people, and Firefox, at least, already has a good system for warning users about malicious sites.
Non game developers consistently underestimate the cost of making a game but not all games cost $100,000. A better metric would be man hours or man months since not all areas of the world garner US/Europe scale wages. Fruit Ninja certainly cost less than Angry Birds and made a healthy profit (allegedly).

I agree with the article that the money/time gets you to the point where you can polish the game. Angry birds is not the most innovative game but it's level of polish and crucially it's approachability certainly took half of the budget to create.

As an indie it's hard to step back and fund that level of consistency but it needs to be done.

25 Amazing And Creative Examples Of Arabic Calligraphy
Calligraphy is a type of visual art. It is often called the art of fancy lettering .A contemporary definition of calligraphic practice is “the art of giving form to signs in an expressive, harmonious and skillful manner”). Modern calligraphy ranges from functional hand-lettered inscriptions and designs to fine-art pieces where the abstract expression of the handwritten mark may or may not compromise the legibility of the letters .

It's essential to know this stuff to really understand how Ruby works. If you want to know which method is going to get called then you need to grok the object model. Classes in Ruby are much more than "fancy structs with allocation", and thinking of them in that way means you'll be losing out on a lot of Ruby's power.

> Back in the good old days, you would actually run out of memory. It kept you on your toes unlike today when allocs rarely if never fail. Instead, everything just collectively gets paged out to disk, then sluggish and sloshed, and eventually inoperable. And at that point you really can't pinpoint it down to some stupid web page because everything is equally paged out by the time.

Exploit writer spills beans on secret iPhone function
Yep just had the same email - I've lost all bar one EBS snapshot. Don't think I can trust them anymore, I wish I had more time to move our infrastructure elsewhere!

They've essentially swiss-cheesed all our backups.

Email copy follows....

Hello,

We've discovered an error in the Amazon EBS software that cleans up unused snapshots. This has affected at least one of your snapshots in the EU-West Region.

During a recent run of this EBS software in the EU-West Region, one or more blocks in a number of EBS snapshots were incorrectly deleted. The root cause was a software error that caused the snapshot references to a subset of blocks to be missed during the reference counting process. This process compares the blocks scheduled for deletion to the blocks referenced in customer snapshots. As a result of the software error, the EBS snapshot management system in the EU-West Region incorrectly thought some of the blocks were no longer being used and deleted them. We've addressed the error in the EBS snapshot system to prevent it from recurring.

We have now disabled all of your snapshots that contain these missing blocks. You can determine which of your snapshots were affected via the AWS Management Console or the DescribeSnapshots API call. The status for any affected snapshots will be shown as "error."

We have created copies of your affected snapshots where we've replaced the missing blocks with empty blocks. You can create a new volume from these snapshot copies and run a recovery tool on it (e.g. a file system recovery tool like fsck); in some cases this may restore normal volume operation. These snapshots can be identified via the snapshot Description field which you can see on the AWS Management Console or via the DescribeSnapshots API call. The Description field contains "Recovery Snapshot snap-xxxx" where snap-xxx is the id of the affected snapshot. Alternately, if you have any older or more recent snapshots that were unaffected, you will be able to create a volume from those snapshots without error. For additional questions, you may open a case in our Support Center: https://aws.amazon.com/support/createCase

We apologize for any potential impact this might have on your applications.

Sincerely,
AWS Developer Support
No, if goto is really important to you, you can keep using Java (which was made sometime in the last century). You'd only use Scala if you thought that the language was created by smart people who have made the correct decisions with their language's feature set.

I agree. There are cases were break and continue are much more succinct and easier to understand, just as there are with goto (error handling in C for example, see linux kernel). To get rid of them just because someone considers it harmful is stupid. I'd guess the reason Scala got rid of them is not because they're harmful but because they're not very useful in a functional language where you usually don't deal with imperative loops.
I understand but that's like saying you won't be using Google because they didn't explain the algo. Or you won't try the iPhone because they don't explain the algo that makes it scroll so gently. And so on.

It's free, you can try it if you really want. You can even use someone else's pictures. Asking for the algo seems too much.

Talking to JS programmers about memory management is like talking to VisualBasic programmers about data alignment. Won't lead anywhere.

Fixing leaking websites should be done by the JS vm as webdevs are usually pretty non technical and have no understanding of concepts like memory management.
No. No.

As a developer this is interesting and cool. As someone who loves good UX, and as an iPhone user, I sincerely this doesn't catch on.

The look and feel of iOS is an incredibly core part of the user experience of the platform (as it is with any platform), the wholesale replacement of these stock widgets with completely custom ones breaks user expectation, generates inconsistencies, and if the goal of cross-platform write-once-compile-anywhere is being sought, will simply create lowest common denominator UI - i.e., leverages none of the strengths of any platform, leaving only the most bland, mundane, and uninspiring intersection of all its target OSes.

To be clear, I'm not at all opposed to innovating with custom widgets and UI elements (the drag-down-to-refresh is one of the more ingenuous new UI patterns that's come from the community instead of one of the big companies), but this is trying to completely build a completely parallel UI layer beside the native OS one.

It's the same reason why I oppose Java-based UIs. No matter which platform you use it on, it never really behaves like the native widgets, and there are inconsistencies big and small that drive users up the wall. The core theme of consumer software in the past few years has been that superior UX trumps everything, up to and including having inferior features to your competition. Have we learned nothing? Why are we still so lazy with our UIs?

Amazon.de went down when the outage started, but they quickly recovered.
I do recall Katrina being framed that way by the media. But I also remember watching the LA riots and my impression was always that the military got sent in because it was so out of hand and not stopping. The military has also been sent in historically to protect blacks when schools were desegregated and for other Civil Rights incidents on behalf of blacks. Just because the media shows it's bias doesn't mean racial bias is why the military does the things it does.

Not entirely on topic, since the soldiers don't decide where they go, but while we are on the topic(s) of racism and the military: The US military tends to be more multi-racial/multi-cultural than most civilian social climes and there tends to be less racism in it. The joke in the military is that they are the "green" race -- ie the color of their uniform makes them all one "race", separate from the civilians who are typically not very welcoming of the military members stationed in their community yet still want to milk them for money. The loyalty to a cause larger than themselves and willingness to bleed and die for it seems to overcome differences that are often insurmountable in the minds of other people. That whole "I am willing to die defending you and you are willing to die defending me" paradigm is a commitment and a bond deeper than many families or lovers have. It makes things like skin color seem rather superficial and insignificant in comparison.

My ex was wonderfully non-racist and I became uncomfortably aware of just how much my mind had been poisoned from growing up in the Deep South when I finally met his best friend at a new duty station after months of hearing glowing things about the guy. The guy was black. My ex had never once mentioned that and the surprise showed on my face, which made for a very awkward meeting. It has been food for thought ever since about the topic of racism and I think I have grown as a person because of it.

I'm gonna run Apoptosis over the Apoptosis code base in a year, and see what warnings it throws up ;)
We run into this a few years ago. We spend around 25k euro (2 guys living in starved artist mode for over a year) and then released because we couldn't risk taking any further credit. We had a working game and it was even some fun - but everyone playing it immediately noticed the parts still missing. And it was pointless, people knew what to expect of that kind of game (a 3d-racer) and so it never had a chance to sell.

But there is one more thing - we would have gotten a lot further with a second game. That year was mostly spend on doing the base technology and also learning to do a complete large game on my own (I had done a bunch of trivial games before and worked a few years on big titles with teams in companies - but never did a big title completely on my own before). So not sure if that $100000 rule is still valid for the second title.
I understand your reluctance, but from a developer time perspective it may make sense to use a cross-platform toolkit even if the users isn't going to enjoy it as much.

Ultimatively it comes down to economics: are you willing to pay five dollars for a native app or 1 for a cross-platform one?

Crowdspottr's new video full of easter eggs and hidden extras
The video for our latest smartphone application features Mark Zuckerberg going out with his famous friends. The animation contains 100+ characters, including 18 celebrities, 15 scenes, 4 background scenes prepared in 3D. The audio part contains 40+ sound effects. We created 1351 files, and the whole project is more than 10GB, without exports. The trivia page lists more than 50 little details from the video which you may miss otherwise.
Cool, thanks. I haven't looked deeply into it, but from a quick glance it seems to want to transform the input.

For my use case I need a parse tree, with specific byte (well, character really) offsets. For example, I need to know where the link started, not that there is now a a link with text T and href H.

My program (and Macchiato I assume) doesn't actually transform the source to an output format, we add attributes to the source text (similar to RTF).
RAW files are not for public consumption and should never be shown without processing. They lack contrast and sharpness at a minimum.

Sure, upload the RAW files as a backup (Smugmug provide a "Vault" service for this reason) but if you're not going to process your RAW files then you'd be better off shooting in JPEG and configuring the in-camera processing correctly.
Is Ruby still considered a "fad" or is it actually gaining weight as a serious development platform? I'm seeing more and more articles about it on HN these days.
