I recently visited a site from HN on my phone, but its text was a bit too small for me to read, so I tried zooming in. To my surprise, it didn't zoom at all! From this article, the website must have set user-scalable=no.

I don't really see the point of this option. The website can (presumably) scale to many different devices already, surely it can then scale with zooming as well. I'd think you could use percentages to create any kind of 'static' ui, if you really wished to do so.
He's already in the USA, and his identity has been known for a while. That makes it sound pretty different to me - no issues with jurisdiction or identifying him. If Apple had a legal case against him, or if the FBI feels that he has committed crimes, there's nothing stopping them going after him.
Ah that sucks for the business downtown I saw had a big, new check in with Facebook Places sign made. It was well done too. Ha.

Are you kidding? I'm not smug. I'm saying Jobs is probably the most amazing success story in the history of technology and he did it after an age where most people would write him off and after experiencing a significant failure. The point I was making was you shouldn't write people off because of age or past failures.

The fact that he came back from a low makes him more impressive not less.

I mean, if you want to make Jobs into a super hero than go right ahead. But if you want to learn from him you have to look at what he actually went through and the truth is he had lows.

As for NeXT being bought for $400 million even Jobs himself would have to admit that's not the end he would have preferred. And though I was too young to remember exactly I'm pretty sure the whole venture was a net loss even with the $400 million.

That is true. I think being a QSA would be a nonrefundable ticket to a miserable job (although I know some folks who came from doing government C&A's who are happy doing it).

I just meant that if it's really just a situation where having a job is more important than what that job is, I think you'll have an easier time finding work as a QSA.

EDIT: Actually, you know what, even with that said I retract my suggestion. You'd have to already be working for a company that is approved to even get your QSA, in which case it's not really applicable for a general person looking for a job. And it's terrible work.
It still fails the <C-F> test...and <C-F>download is the first thing I do when I decide that I'd like to try out some library. Nothing wrong with preferring a CDN, but some people want to get the whole thing broken into source files so they can really audit the code properly.

Others also want to host their own because they don't want to introduce another point of failure. For all the supposed reliability of CDN host X, having YUI available when my own CDN goes down isn't helping me much. On the other hand, if YUI goes kaput while my CDN is doing fine, I've got some problems.
That's not necessarily true; jQuery does all kinds of performance tricks that are far too complicated to do in straight JS code.
I do. I've also spent somewhere around $4k on the iTunes Store in just music and movies, and I spend somewhere around $60/mo on streaming movie/music services, not including what I pay for Amazon Prime. I own hundreds of DVDs, but they're all 3 states away, because moving them makes no sense; it's easier to stream or torrent a movie than to rip the DVDs or move them around every time I decide to pack up and leave. I also frequently torrent albums before they come out, after I preorder them. I see absolutely nothing at all wrong with anything I do -- it's no different from timeshifting content with a TiVo to me, even if it could potentially be illegal. I care far more about ethics than I do legality.

What if Steve Jobs Was Ran Other Companies?
This came to mind this evening as I was watching a discovery channel special on the rebuilding of ground zero. The chief architect/engineer of the original World Trade centers said that they designed the buildings to withstand the impact of a 707 jet which was the largest at the time. They failed to consider innovation. Given that Steve Jobs developed products which none of us thought we'd use and had the vision to know it was something we would want, do you think that given that special talent, would he had been able to innovate much more in other industries and possibly save lifes?
Jobs that could be done faster, better, and for much less by a website are inefficiencies that need to be ironed out so that those people can do something that helps humanity and isn't, basically, a waste of their time. Busywork is not the way forward.

Disco was fairly interesting app. Google even came out with a similar product in Huddles. On top of that, they had a fairly successful social app, which I suspect is exactly what Google wanted out of the acquisition (their social expertise).

But why would Google have any interest in "bailing" them out? Regardless of whether you think they were worth the money, I think it's a stretch to call it a bail out as if Google was using its corporate money to pay friends off. I suspect Google just saw a good team with some decent projects and interesting ideas, and used it to add to their social expertise.
While using a randomized pivot implementation decreases the _likelihood_ of encountering a worst case, quicksort's worst-case behavior remains O(n2). See the last pages of

http://www.cs.duke.edu/~reif/courses/alglectures/skiena.lect...

I don't know that I've actually experienced a worst-case quicksort situation but I do know of a particular job using quicksort that ran far, far too long - indeed it never completed the quicksort step, because...

After 6 hours of sorting (all previous runs had completed the sort step in 40 minutes or less) we finally killed it, changed the sort implementation, fired it up again and never had the same problem again. It was an enterprise time-critical job running on a mainframe that simply had to complete within 24 hours of start.

I agree completely. All I can see here is people generally misunderstanding the whole purpose of licensing.

OSS licenses might be about ethics in spirit but in practice it's about law. Releasing something GPL and crying foul when someone forks it is akin to being outraged and then admitting that you "didn't really read the contract".
I call bull on this shit // pardon my french.

But CS teaches you fundamentally what is going on with a computer, good CS programs will teach you 1's and 0's, levels of abstraction, all sorts of stuff from the very low level to the very high level. As an engineer you need to understand the low level stuff, you need to know about garbage collection, you need to know how to manage memory, you need all this low level stuff; it's not un-important shit or magic in a box.

It leads to better efficiencies in your code such as (PHP)
var len = array.length();
for(int = i; i < len; i++) {}
vs
for(int i; i < array.length(); i++) {}

To be fair, all programmers are computer scientists. Some are really decent and some are really bad. CS people solve problems with algorithms (Def.: Finite set of instructions or steps), guess what programmers do? CS is the study of the science behind computers, everything from data structures to: algorithms, program correctness, math induction, recursion, OOP, Agile Techniques etc...
I wouldn't call LDAP "90s database technology" because a much better word choice would be "directory". The data is arranged in a tree, in very much the same way directories on your local filesystem are arranged in a tree.

I think the primary use case is to allow user records for a site to be very distributed, therefore fast and highly available. DNS for people/accounts, maybe.

It's even web friendly, in the sense that ldap:// identifiers are urls.

You might be able to argue that it was a NoSQL solution over a decade before NoSql was cool, however :)

Unless you are a savant of sorts, being able to do 134 * 23 in your head requires all three.

For example, you note that 134 * 23 is really 134 * (20 + 3), which is just 2680 + (100 + 34) * 3 which leads to 2680 + 300 + 102 = 3082. And that is just one way of doing it.

I do agree that arithmetic ability isn't all that great. But there is more logic and reasoning involved than you would think at first sight.

Ask HN: Recommended tools/processes for UX prototyping?
Long time lurker, first time poster.

I'm prototyping the user experience for a web app project, iterating with users twice a week. I've been testing different approaches (modals vs new pages, edit buttons vs hover effects, etc) by putting users in the driver's seat, observing their reactions and gathering their feedback. So far, I've been using jQuery, Backbone.js and Express to test different workflows and UI elements, as well as provide a simple data persistence layer. In my quest to rapidly prototype a solution against real world extractions, however, my gut tells me there ought to be a better way.

For those that have a spare moment, I'd love to hear how others in the HN community approach the same goals. Specifically, what tools and processes have you found to be effective in prototyping a quality user experience?
Ah, but given the lack of diggers, I would think solar is better than nothing.

I agree. I certainly don't see anything wrong with forking a project if the licence allows it.

Of course, I never understood why there was a stigma attached to forking in the first place.

This article is a bit unnecessary.

Gord, thanks for the comments. Very much appreciated. Here are some of my thoughts...

> "Give the team autonomy / ie. a virtual startup within Yahoo. Maybe split off a team or an Open Source startup ?"

Everyone involved with the project, from upper management on down, are all engineers, and by having Yahoo entirely fund the YUI project it allows each of us to focus on nothing but building things for our community. If we were spun off, then we have to worry about making money, and well... I'd rather be coding. Even as a spin-off, if Yahoo (and others?) funded us 100%, I don't think much would change compared to how we currently operate. In my opinion, Yahoo is the best customer (and parent) a JavaScript library could ask for.

> "Demand all Yahoo use latest YUI by religious edict from on high"

When you hear the execs publicly talk about replacing old infrastructure components, upgrading everyone from YUI2 to YUI3 was one of those things we've been working on heavily. Flickr, Mail, and the Homepage are all on YUI 3.3.0+. By the end of 2011, all Y! Media properties will be on a recent version as well. That means the vast majority of the 80+ billion pageviews/month will be using a current YUI3 release. Maybe not bleeding edge, but close enough. YUI2 is deprecated and will only be receiving security fixes, if any ever arise.

> "Consider mobile?"

It's very much on our minds. It currently works great in mobile because of the efficient codebase, modular architecture, and the combohandler, but we're working on filling in some of the missing pieces. Stay tuned.

> "One Unified example, or a framework / app-designer as the canonical YUI demo"

We had a long-discussion about that very topic today. Now that we're on a new, self-hosted website, it opens up many possibilities for what we can do to really show off the library.
None of these guys have audience interaction. Ever, as far as I know.

So, none.

it depends on where you are in the dev process. If you find yourself in the early stages, paper prototyping is very powerful, easy and dirt cheap. By keeping it as simple as possible, you don't get so emotionally invested in your designs and you signal to your users that major changes are perfectly ok (with hi-fi prototyping users often make fewer and smaller change requests). There's a method to it but it's as lightweight as you'd imagine. Carolyn Snyder has written THE book on paper prototyping
http://www.paperprototyping.com/

I mostly use Balsamiq Mockups. It's a lo-fi prototyping tool (software based) but it makes prototyping much faster. Prototypes, or mockups as they are called, are actually rendered as hand drawn sketches so you don't bother with pixel perfection. It's actually quite fun to use and becomes somewhat addictive. One drawback is that prototyping GUI changes and interactivity is difficult.
http://balsamiq.com/products/mockups

I've also used Pencil, a prototyping plugin for firefox. It's not as polished as the other Balsamiq Mockups but it's free and covers the basics.

Totally agree, not to mention its very hypocritical considering WordPress itself a fork of B2. It seems to me that people are happy to embrace GPL when it suits them, but condem it when it doesn't suit...
When you build on an GPL product you accept the freedom it provides, both good and bad.

Indeed busy work is not the way forward and the Internet is going disrupt more industries and kill a lot more jobs! Which is great for those thinking ahead and disrupting.

Though the millions and millions of busy workers are needed to drive economies. The pace in which the disruption is happening is swift and the pace the displaced workers finding work in this new digital workforce/economy isn't. Thus these displaced workers are a drag to society and the economy.

Music is the only business where you can get away with calling potential buyers of your product "criminals".
It would be really irritating for many people; that behavior is best left to the user and the browser (most mice have middle-click which opens a link in a new tab, and - on my laptop, at least - tapping with two fingers opens a link in a new tab. Browsers can also be configured to open off-site links in new tabs).
Not only does the license allow for this, but aren't the people doing the fork for Woothemes the core authors of Jigoshop?
LLCs, however, are a frigging nightmare. They're the most difficult form of business entity to set up (except for non-profit 501(c)(3)'s). Accounting for LLCs will require an experienced (expensive) accountant. Plus, state laws on LLCs aren't uniform in the states that matter.

Funny, setting up our LLC took about 20 minutes of filling out forms and mailing them in. I've heard it's different state-to-state, but in the state we set up in (Virginia) it was not terribly harder than buying a new cell phone...and less money.
It's interesting how most comments on this thread have no issue with the fork, yet most of the comments on the blog post are very much against the fork. (Strange considering they are mostly from the WordPress community).
He hasn't committed a crime and even if they don't like what he's done, I doubt that they have it in for him.

> Quick quiz: can your entire sales staff be replaced by a nicely formatted HTML table? If the answer is 'yes', then you are subtracting value and wasting my time.

If they don't know what they need, then the answer to the above question is 'no', and hence doesn't apply. In that case, you might consider asking the provider to recommend what sort of setup "solution" you require. But I wouldn't want to do that through a sales guy, especially someone working on commission. I'd rather get some advice from a disinterested 3rd party (even if it's just asking on StackOverflow/ServerFault or whatever) and then look for suppliers offering what I need.
I think it shows the passion for the product regardless of what level you get into. The net impact is what we see in iPhone,iPod,iPad etc. It could be argued either way, but the point is that the record speaks for itself. So when u see a product class apart from other competing product, some of these small gestures set things apart.

That's a fair point, I guess I've been spoiled. I guess I just don't mind knowing those integration points and working with them, but I can definitely see how it would put a bad taste in your mouth after a while.

The NoSQL integration I think will be big. I know some folks using SpringData to talk to MongoDB and they've had positive experiences so far.

Maybe in the future things will get simpler - so far I've found that I'm pretty happy with either embedded Jetty or Tomcat. And then Spring/Jersey + Hibernate/JPA.

Have you found that EAR/WAR size has hampered you? I tend not to worry about how many JARs I'm pulling.
