Nice project. Not sure how useful it is currently in the real world.

(This sort of goes off the topic, sorry)

It sort of reopens my bewilderment that Dart doesn't already do this, and a lot more. I was expecting the language to be a lot more baked than it actually is and expecting a lot of targets perhaps via an llvm translator.

I realize it is still early days for Dart but as a big fan of haxe (which is similar in the sense that it is an ECMAScript-looking language with a custom VM (neko) and the ability to compile to other languages (not just JS, but php, C++, AVM1/AVM2 (Flash) bytecode, etc), I sort of expected the mighty Google to have more to show.

haxe has a pretty good headstart, for sure, having been around for years, but OTOH until very recently it was pretty much a one man show.

It looks like a social network that allowed you to actively use multiple identities with one single login - what many people already do using special software, but in a cumbersome way - would hit the jackpot: Give users what they want, and give customers what they want too. If G+ did this, it would REALLY differentiate itself from FB.
That will most likely bite you since you're giving a pure type to a non-referentially transparent function. There is a reason why random functions are in a state monad or IO.
So what? I'm a computer scientist. I dig this stuff!

Take a look at this stuff in your favorite flavor of the Blub programming language. Most of the same stuff that the Haskell community calls with strange names exists in the imperative/OO world. However, in the imperative/OO world these things tend to be ad-hoc constructions ("design patterns"?) that don't have any theoretical background and are difficult to reason about.
I don't know if others feel this way, but I don't find Google's UI outside of search very appealing. And that includes Gmail, which is where a good chunk of GTalk conversations happen. Couple that with email in general not being a pleasant experience for many, and you have a lot of people who don't want to hang out on GTalk. Also, keep in mind that chat was "magically" sprung upon Facebook users when it launched; they didn't have to sign up for yet another account and most of one's friends were already there. It was as simple as clicking on a person's name and typing.

Who decides what is a favor and what isn't? Is the recruitment of more troops for the Iraq war a handout to the high school kids with no college aspirations? Why can't they just put a bid for a private militia? While seemingly extreme, this is only the tip of the iceberg. Overall, this comes across as a very overly simplistic view of reality.

We have built a web app like you describe, without any HTML coming from the server.
We use pure.js (our lib), 3 things can happen when you debug:

- the selector is wrong, you get an exception
- the data you want to read is not in the JSON, eg: an input value is blank
- there is an error in a JS function, you can debug it like any JS code

pure.js use only CSS selectors, HTML and JS/JSON.

I guess you have to trust that the company wouldn't go to the trouble of setting up a program (and making payouts) if it were going to treat vulnerability reporters poorly. I think treating them poorly is generally a pretty bad long-term plan though, because of the negative light it casts the company in, the lack of future responses it will garner, and the hostility it may bring out (hello, Sony).

Do you feel like Facebook has ever "shit over" legitimate security researchers? I can see if I can help if you have examples.
Since brackets come in matchable pairs and double quotes do not, and because brackets can be nested while double quotes cannot, it wouldn't surprise me if this were a deliberate difference. If the user hits "di(" on a line and there's no "(" before the cursor, you can search backwards over previous lines looking for an unmatched "(" without too much worry you'll get confused by a stray "(" and delete something the user didn't expect. If the user hits 'di"' on a line and there's no '"' before the cursor, searching any further is quite likely to hit a false positive and do something ridiculous (like deleting all the code between two string literals).

Exactly what I thought, it's almost as if they implicitly say the only good way to make a file explorer is to make it just like osx' dolphin, where you need to use drag motions for any operation.

Sure it's possible. Use a mentally computable one-way "hash" when creating your passwords, such that you (and only you) can generate a unique password based on some attribute of the system you're creating the password for (name, domain name, etc).

Of course that's also too much work for the average user.

I think single sign-on systems with two factor authentication and other advanced security are a step in the right direction.
It's not exactly clear to me what it is you're offering. I can add music to my FB fan page where people can vote for songs? How does that relate to my business? What would my business gain from it?

I'm pretty shure it doesn't have to do with your not being from the US. You say you've done some marketing to small businesses and PR firms, so it's logical that your clients are from that group / region.

That paste doesn't pass even the most basic of sniff tests.

"it has brought bans and thread/post deletions on /b/ for anything except CSA trafficking to a screeching halt"

Is trivially false, and the statement:

"When I knew only guilty people used 4chan (and primarily /b/), knowledge of the ongoing sting operation wasn't terribly concerning to me. But now, 4chan is going completely mainstream."

Is absurd. Nobody with any sort of familiarity with the place years ago would ever believe "only guilty people used 4chan". That shit is and always has been the minority. Furthermore, anybody involved in such an operation would realize that "innocent mainstream" type people stumbling across that isn't going to get those people hauled into court.

No. That paste is a troll, and either you've been trolled, or you are a troll and I've been trolled.

Now, do I believe 4chan is cooperating with government investigations? Of course I do.. but that ain't evidence of it.
I've never written a "twitter clone" but I would suspect the real problem isn't pure throughput but rather the mixture of having to n-way route messages to the proper recipients combined with having to spread the load of that across potentially many systems. I do not think doing that is as trivial as it may seem.

However, I'm sure you're right in that someone could reimplement what twitter does more efficiently than they do it if they paid proper attention to all the mistakes twitter made along the way. Not sure it would be worth the bother though, because twitter's real win is having their company name define the action in much the way googling has come to define web search. You can't overcome that by being marginally better.. or, as it happens, even by being marginally better and giving away tons of free money (just ask MS/Bing).
Another member of the group told the reporter the bug was shared, so either way it sounds like the group is unreliable.

PayPal is definitely not faster and easier to use, it is a huge PITA.
A lot of stuff is quite easy, after reading http://learnyouahaskell.com/ - but there is a tendency in the Haskell community, perhaps not in the core but at the fringes to look more elite, and with a lot of hand waving to make simple things (Monads come to mind) something complex sounding.

Take the IO Monad. Everyone who wrote some web/servlet code, that needs to output stuff to the web over several classes (might not be the best design in the beginning) uses a Writer (or other class) to aggregate output. He therefore, as global vars are bad (and thread local are worse ;-) adds a Writer to every method.

public T doSomeStuff(T input, Writer io)

This is nasty and ugly, and the IO monad is in essence just another way to write this in a neat form, make it composable and control the IO environment.

public IO<T> doSomeStuff(IO<T> input)

But you would not get this insight from any of the monad tutorials written by Haskell people (except the link above).
Simple monad insight comes form other people outside the Haskell community, e.g. James Iry

http://james-iry.blogspot.com/2007/09/monads-are-elephants-p...
I found that one of the largest difference between Haskell and OCaml is the amount of time I spent figuring out how to make code go fast. Because OCaml is eagerly evaluated and that its compiler is extremely simple, I find that the "tools" that I learned in school and in my time coding in other languages apply to making OCaml code fast (and predictibly fast). With Haskell, you need to be more keenly aware of how evaluation is handled, and I guess I have still a lot of things to learn there, because I still have problems making really simple Haskell functions that don't crash.

The ribbon is a weird thing for me because despite trying to adopt it for quite a while now, I still don't like it, yet I'm not egocentric enough to think that alone makes it a bad design. The evidence that it isn't is all around me... everyone I know who is a "regular person" and uses Windows loves the ribbon.

Damn it.

At least Microsoft generally gives you the option of configuring the ribbon manually in a way that suits your needs (especially in Win 8). This is much better than when I run into UX/UI elements that do things I personally don't like when Apple is involved, because then I'm pretty much stuck with it.

Not sure what he meant, but it's usually possible to brute force even decent online auth systems.

Since most of these systems are rate-limited per-account, instead of iterating over passwords for a given account, you can iterate over accounts for a given (common) password. This won't work for a targeted attack, but if you have thousands of valid email addresses, trying them all with e.g. "password" as the password will likely yield a few for which it works.
HN Poll: Want an SSD based webhost?  I do. Need feedback...
EC2's hard drives are really, really slow. A crappy Solid State drive I bought for $150 2 years a go is 50x faster than the fastest EC2 hard drive. Shit's gotta change.
Why spend weeks optimizing my DB and SQL queries when an SSD gets me a 50x speed boost. To me it's a no brainer.

I'm talking to the CTO/Founder of a kick ass web host (NephoScale.com) about offering an SSD based option to their service plan. If we get enough interest, we'll be able to offer a Hackers & Founders discount to everyone below.

This web host already has on demand, scriptable cloud hosting ( just like EC2 ), and on top of that, scriptable, on demand, dedicated, single tenant server options, which rocks.

But, I need to tell them what Hacker/Founders want in an SSD based system.

So, can you take 3 minutes and fill out this form.

Cheers,

Expecting average users to use unique sufficiently complex passwords, or even just a few "tiers" of passwords, will never work because users just don't care... until it's too late.

Single sign-on systems are the only reasonable solution. Of course that introduces a single point of failure, so they need to be extremely secure, but at least it's easier to secure one system with two factor authentication, advanced monitoring, etc than every site on the web.
