The UK is definitely a special case cf. the rest of Europe. For one, there is common language to consider. Secondly, it appears the UK makes up the next largest userbase after the USA. It is as if to say 'why separate Canada from the US'. Similarly, NYC and SF are the prominent start up areas. Knowing who is in and out of these has uses.

My take was that the OP would like to do every country, but obviously must limit numbers to something sensible.
OOH. Good point. I'll update the post.
Possibly, although as far as traditional unix shells are concerned, they're the same thing.

It depends on what kind of relationship you have. Traditionally, and what seems right to most people is a relationship with a level of commitment towards the other. I'm not saying this is always true, but that level of commitment does have benefits, usually resulting in a stronger relationship because of the trust developed.
Yeah, market share numbers are completely different by country. Compare Germany and South Korea, say.
It is to some, and it's not to others, and either attitude is fine if mutually agreed to. Spying and control is a big deal.

There are things in the world like free speech that are not free. People had to fight for it, and in some case they died for it.

Read "The Gulag Archipelago". Solzhenitsyn talks about communism as a minority, that knew they were a minority. So when Stalin was going to incarcerate people, they used night, and police will take off their shoes so nobody hear them detain their neighbors. Stalin only killed people with very gradual steps.

People have a lot of power by their selves. Never underestimate your own power. The power that the courage of millions of people that admits openly that they read wikileaks and are not afraid about it.

They(the government) are the ones that should fear us, because they work for us.

It is not required by jQuery to use "data-blah" in any html tag. Developing a dojo widget requires me to break html validation. I can perfectly fine use jquery without the data-blah attributes.

Yes dojo is a complete library and for 99% of the use cases for a web application, it is overkill.
I was referring to the software on Github and Sourceforge, not Github and Sourceforge themselves.

Some software costs someone money. Lots of it is built for the sake of building it though. You could argue that time people spend building software could have been billable hours, but I think the author totally misunderstands the spirit of building software for the enjoyment of it.

This is also what I took from the story. The title should be "Business Idea Of The Week".

I admit that the service is morally questionable, but the simplicity and execution is intriguing. There have to be similarly trivial ideas that can be turned into businesses if you look hard enough.
Standards compete on many levels on a give-and-take basis and have very strong incentives to have a minimal amount of complexity. Text editors don't suffer from that set of requirements. This hypothetical editor does everything the others do, cleanly. Almost everyone will agree that it's better. To my eyes the only real problem is that creating the program itself is infeasible.
My current agreement is, “You can look at anything on my computer you want, just ask me first.” Looking without asking is a game misconduct. My failing to disclose something when asked would likewise be a game misconduct.

It’s just like allowing the police to search, but asking for a warrant first. Agreeing that we have to ask first puts up the hurdle of triggering a conversation.

The solution to too much data is more data.
Two things:

First: As a society, we should really examine the kind of impact internet porn is having on the lives of our young men. There is a growing body of knowledge around porn-induced ED in 20-somethings, among other myriad ways it negatively impacts the health and productivity of individuals and relationships.

Second: Who actually saves porn anymore?

(EDIT: it's not a "huge body of knowledge"... yet, it's growing)
Associating watching porn with lack of commitment sounds like something out of the 50s. Nobody(*) contemplates leaving their SO for some person on a website (or in a movie, or on TV), and porn isn't an exception.
Private browsing mode, available in all leading browsers.

Wouldn't that effectively hide all traces of any browsing history locally, be it nefarious or otherwise?

That kind of response begs the question, if you have to hide it, is it wrong or not? Or is it more you don't want to be showing person Z some funny video and it autocompletes... something rather embarrassing.

Regardless, these guys have hit a nerve, can't see why they won't be printing money in the coming weeks with all the exposure they'll get.

At AOL circa 2000, our application framework had a Tcl interpreter listening on a "control port", so that you could telnet to any app and get stats, change settings, etc.

Of course, nowadays that's more commonly done with REST endpoints, which I think would satisfy your stdctrl idea.

Beyond 22nm: Applied Materials the unsung silicon hero
AT&T: FCC Misinterprets Merger Market Analysis
I like David Walsh, however I don't have much pity for him in this situation. His account was hacked, probably due to something he did (reused a password, had a password someone guessed, etc). If godaddy was hacked (like he tweeted and later redacted), they would have taken much bigger domains than his. It sucks, but it was his fault.

His site was put back up within hours, which is pretty fast for anything involving domains. The current holdup seems to be that the registrar is checking things out and confirming what happened before giving control back to him. This seems understandable; what if this were some elaborate social engineering scam?

Basically, he had his domain stolen, which sucks. All parties involved (none of which were at fault, and don't really owe him anything) acted quickly, but he spent 4 days bashing them on Twitter. He got his domain to point to his site quickly, and is now complaining because he doesn't "own" it (despite the registrar saying they're working on it).
This is a solid step in proving that the project isn't just a dream and isn't vaporware. Although I wonder why a plain board would be ordered, when it looks to be all very small SMT components that a hobbyist would have a difficult time with anyway?
Sure, that might happen. Or someone could spend their time writing code for their own projects instead of building a video for someone else's, because hey, he couldn't be assed to make his project interesting enough to spend time playing with. My first reaction, too, was "that's a pretty half-assed job," and closed the window. That makes it very unlikely that I go back and use it if I find a case where it might be valuable (because I won't remember it, except for the low-quality video and the lack of a demo - doesn't GitHub have a "pages" feature, anyway, where he could embed a real video on YouTube or something?). And if I'm not using it, there's zero chance of me going "hey, this could be great if X," writing X, and contributing it back.

It might be anathema to the "code is everything!" mindset, but part of getting people interested in your projects is presentation. You might think that's not the spirit of Github, but it's the way lots of (most?) people roll.
I disagree. There are already many text editors that do everything each other do, but they all do it differently, some in GUI some in command line, some with different shortcuts, etc. You could argue that Eclipse does almost everything and has a very high level of extensibility and yet you won't get me or many people I know to use it for most tasks.
It's not just about some checklist of possible actions it can do. It's about workflow, ease of use, integration with the larger jobs.
It's more similar to the "standards" argument than you give it credit for.
Other wise everyone would use emacs or eclipse.

Reality is also that Flash won't be supported in the browsers of mobile devices.

The reason that we complain about performance, and the proprietary format, is just because that are the main problems with it.

Building without flash is not for everyone, but if you want to support Mobile Safari, or for all the other people without access to flash, you need a javascript solution to the problem.

Have faith, even IE will be able to support rich multimedia applications in the future, or it will become irrelevant.

That future is starting to become available now in Firefox, Safari and Chrome.

So to answer the original question:

Does anyone actually think dojo has a future compared to the power that jquery gives to make your own "widgets" but far simpler than dojo?

The answer is: yes, it has a future in a wide range of places. But in the subset of DOM manipulation, it might be more appropriate to use jQuery.
Startup does something clever but simple; competition begins quickly.

It's not the creator's fault that it's easy to reproduce and he did so in his free time. It's now free for everyone. Maybe the startup could clone his repo and keep part of their product updated by the community for free.

I thought the author's pointing out of the supposed untruth that you don't have to download anything because you have to have Java to be a bit silly.

I'd qualify that to be "non-dating website".

But actually, I wouldn't be surprised if somebody broke off an existing relationship to pursue someone they were fantasizing about online. If they're unhappy in their current relationship, online fantasy is a form of escape and leads to eventual idealization. By comparison, the real person can't compete as their flaws are evident.

Dime-store psychology perhaps, but on these topics nothing surprises me.
An app I use is still on dojo 0.4 because they rewrote the tree widget after 0.6 and the new implementation was missing features we depended on, I think it was different icons for leafs. Maybe time for an update now
When was it that you used it? I haven't used it lately, and when I did I felt the same as you, but for what I've seen Dojo is no longer the "kitchen sink" it used to be. It's small, VERY modular, and has a lot of utilities and interesting things.

Not that jQuery doesn't have any of these. But jQuery was thought out as a DOM manipulation library and then people started sticking a ton of things on top of it.

Dojo is thought out as a modular toolkit, where DOM manipulation is just one of the libraries it includes.

Money – Is it Abundant or Scarce in Your Mind?
Well, here goes... I'm "investing" $20 for the rest of HN to find out how accurate it is.

Okay so it's scanning... it has found a bunch of development things, gifs from my website work which isn't porn -- recycle binned stuff -- okay watching this, it's just bringing up every single file that contains a list of extensions; it's included under "videos" things like "DVDMaker sample" which certainly aren't porn. I don't think "passwordField.png" located in programData/skype is pornographic.

The websites it has found don't appear to be any I have ever visted, although some are (and they're popular sites) about half aren't. Either it's fabricating the websites or I've visited sites that embed data from these other sites? Plausible I guess.

It does locks management and some autoreleasing black magic.

Lets image you have a `callback` variable that you want to pass to some 3rd party code and you ain't sure whether it'll call it or not (or you're aware that unhandled exception may be thrown inside it). If you'll wrap `callback` with `deadbolt.wrap(callback)` and pass it to that function, `callback` will be called with a error if it will become not referenced (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_collection_(computer_sc... ) in that 3rd party code.

Ask HN: Noise in HN, an idea to throttle it down
It has been pointed out several times that new items submitted to HN have increasingly less chance of being picked up because of how fast the new items page scrolls items out of sight. This problem will be growing as HN gets more users.

Maybe the approach of showing the list of new items in the "new" page is not necessarily the best one [anymore]?

An alternative approach would be to display a random subset of new articles from the past n minutes on each display of the new items page. This is particularly true for times when several articles are submitted per minute, which will only become increasingly common.

That way each submission would get more time (from a smaller audience) to be picked up and more quality items would be upvoted.

Interesting concept.

(For the record, I feel like searching your partner's computer for anything is a gross violation of trust - more so than watching porn without the other person knowing)
