I love white on black when I'd actually using a product, but I really prefer black on white when I'm taking a screenshot (such as the illustration in the article). I think the issue is the non-linear response of the human eye to illumination. Screenshots tend to get rescaled to make them fit on a page, and this generally causes white-on-black to become (to the eye) dark-gray-on-black. Black-on-white, when rescaled, becomes (to the eye) dark-gray-on-white, which has better contrast.

In summary, I want it super-easy for me to reverse or otherwise change my theme when I'm taking a screenshot, perhaps even embedding it into the application.

Hypothetical weakness in ICICI Credit Card, India
tl;dr -> When a card is blocked and new card is reissued my ICICI Bank Credit card., the first 14 digits of the new card is the same as the old card. the 2 changing digits were also in a series.

I did it twice on the same card. i.e block a card and request for a reissue. so the three card numbers were having same first 14 digits and the following last two digits.

xxxx xxxx xxxx xx08

xxxx xxxx xxxx xx16

xxxx xxxx xxxx xx24

So say if your card details was leaked online and you request ICICI to block the old card and get a new one, then all the attacker has to do is wait for a month for a hypothetical new card to reach and then use all other details(except for the CVV ofcourse, but cvv is just a 3 digit attack vector). and guess the last two digits. the last two digits also following a series.

According to my totally unlearned eyes. this is a weakness. What say you?

> the USB interface itself will be subverted to spread viruses ?

It can. But then I would know about it as soon the AV companies know. And I can take the precaution accordingly. If that is a zero day [remote] exploit, then I am toast, with or without anti virus.

The point is: anti-viruses would probably make me 10% more secure over what I already am. Therefore it's not worth it when one considers its cons.

If you boycotted every single company on that list, we'd be stuck using AMD, Linux, and Gimp.

That may work for some people, but not everyone. But more seriously, I doubt that every one of these companies supports SOPA. More digging needs to be done. If someone represents a group of people and makes a statement, that doesn't mean I'm in agreeance to said statement.

Well, it's fair to say that programmers specialise, but presumably you're only working on the website, and the game developers are only working on the game. TillE was right - if you are going to implement this stuff, you should know what you're doing, or at least seek advice from people who do.

Regardless, the super meat boy developer made a pretty basic mistake, which you could perhaps defend with your argument, but he then refused to engage with someone who was reporting a vulnerability and trying to help. To me, that's pretty astounding.

Scenario:
A single backend, providing content for an ever growing set of front ends (desktop, tablet, mobile in various permutations). Content editors need to ensure things look good in all output formats.

Solution:
Content editors get a button to preview draft content in all front ends. This opens up a tab for each front end. Front end uses the backend session to get permission to retrieve the draft content and loads up create.js during the rendering.

Using CORS the frontend is configured to send back any changes to the backend directly. Title width optimization can be done inline, all related pages can be updated right away.

All the front ends need to be able to do is identify an admin and to be able to pull the draft content and then include create.js. That is it. Booom, the front end supports inline editing. All your front ends support inline editing this way!

Great article full of lots of insights. Here's some of the ones I got.

- People are generally happy with what they have: digging around is not a fun thing to do.

- It is very easy for the maintenance programmer to make assumptions about the preconditions for a piece of code that is not valid.

- Size of code is a critical metric for quality.

And most importantly (and probably overlooked), quality is just but one metric of software. The name of the game here is providing value to the customer, not about writing perfect code. John kind of throws that out there in a pro forma way, then goes ahead without digging any deeper. Oddly enough, I can't really draw any conclusions about static code analysis, the topic of the essay, without a clear definition from the author about what the trade-offs are. We're left with "just use it" as a conclusion.

After reading this, I wonder if programmers don't get stuck on the same general level of abstraction and this staying-in-the-same-level thinking introduces unnecessary code complexity. To illustrate, let's try a thought experiment.

Suppose there was no modern OS -- just a x86 compatible CPU and BIOS -- and you were supposed to put an image on the screen stored on a USB drive.

It would involve huge amounts of work -- code to get information from the drive, code to understand images, code to respond to the keyboard, etc.

The reason we can do this so easily today is that whatever we write is basically in a DSL that sits on top of other DSL/APIs. We are working at a higher level of abstraction.

I wonder if putting programming projects on a "code diet" isn't something we should try more often. Announce that whatever our solution is, it's not going to be more than 10KLOC. If we have to split into teams to provide layers, we will. Each team has 10KLOC and should create a DSL at their particular level of abstraction.

This forces us to keep project codebases very small, yet should provide just as much freedom to create very powerful software as we have today. I understand that many will say "but there's no way you're going to make any kind of useful layer of abstraction in 10K of code!" I disagree, but that a big can of worms to open up in a HN thread. The important question is this: should we create arbitrary limits on our abstraction layers as a way to enforce higher code quality?

Just thinking aloud.
and it makes sense that static analysis tools won't discover anything not already covered by tests

That assertion doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Most static analysers are capable of looking at the edge cases that a human may forget to write a test for, or may not even notice are there.
What about the Expiry Date & the CVV?
Although I agree with these goals of such a move (fighting SOPA) such a licence would not be considered an open source or free software licence by the OSI or FSF. A licence must not discriminate based on endeavour.

Fair observation. But I'd like to know if the paper done research against static languages like C/C++/Java/C# or with dynamic languages as well...

Because I have a few people on my back that keep screaming that dynamic languages produce fewer lines of code and jumped into conclusion that "therefore it is better in terms of quality" while the code that these group of people produce seems to be similar to that of Perl => less code, unreadable (requires you to re-read intensively) if you go away for a few days and come back to work on it. Lots of meta-programming and prefer shortcuts over readability. Less bugs? hell no...

Are we sure that Verizon doesn't support SOPA? I'm not seeing them on the list but I still find it hard to believe.
You shouldn't support The Daily Show or Colbert, either. What those programs usually do is omit or distort key facts that make their victims seem hypocritical or otherwise unreasonable and then mock them for it. Much less funny and I got tired of having to worry about whether my opinion about some situation was based only on some misunderstanding I'd received from those shows. Given how sanctimonious Stewart is when it comes to lampooning the media, I have a hard time not concluding that he's an asshole.

It's about how China's political regime treats its citizens regardless of ethnicity. If it doesn't discriminate (which I think it does) and gives everyone the same unfair treatment that doesn't somehow make it better compared to the scenario where it did discriminate. It's the same.

Show HN: Adopt-a-cloud.com
I created this site based on an idea I found at the Halfbakery (http://www.halfbakery.com/idea/Adoptacloud_2eorg).

It makes use of the Play framework for the web app itself.

The actual cloud detection is performed using Mathematica, which i've just started using
and am really enjoying. Originally I did the cloud detection using blob detection, as detailed in the
blog post on the site, but I've since found a more effective solution in Mathematica.

Originally I did the cloud detection on the webserver itself, but found the server didn't have
enough memory (512M) as I kept getting processes being killed by the out-of-memory killer.

It uses JPA (Java Persistence API) to handle
the database - this allows the creation of records and relations based on Java objects.
Which made creating the database really easy.

While using the framework I came across some interesting problems:

I found the Java VM would sporadically terminate due to a bug with the Java VM, this
was alleviated by using '-XX:CompileCommand=exclude,jregex/Pretokenizer,next'.

I also found I would get a 'too many files open' exception, to fix this
I used 'ulimit -n 65535' to increase the number of file handles allowed (admitedly this seems
somewhat 'hacky' but it did the trick).

In order to add new clouds to my system, I make use of a script which uses curl, to upload both
an image and a file containing coordinates. I found I kept getting a '417 Expectation failed' error, this was apparently
happening as curl sends an Expect header which lighttpd 1.4x doesn't understand. In order to fix this
I used 'curl -H Expect:', which lighttpd 1.4x permits.
Once you have a card number + personal details from previous attack.
Expiry date is the lamest to crack. cards are issued for years and not months, so it will mostly be the same month as when the card was issued, i.e the same month as the card was blocked. year part will be a company policy right? i.e from the year of issue + x years types.

CVV is just a 3 digit numerical hack.
if you have all other info, cracking CVV should not be a challenge.

It's "complete bullshit" because the Chinese government uses the same argument used by the US on the war on terror, yet no one accuses the US of genocide.

Also, it's not the first time the Weekly Standard distorts the facts in favor of some right-wing agenda (the very war on terror being such an example)

(like the OP, I'm not defending China's actions here. I'm simply pointing out the double-standard)
The actual letter (http://judiciary.house.gov/issues/Rouge%20Websites/Letter%20...) is interesting reading: the closing statement says

In our considered opinion, the Protect IP Act and SOPA further the goal of free expression. Far from conflicting with the First Amendment, the proposed legislation will serve as an important contribution to ensuring an environment in which free speech and creative expression can thrive and flourish.

That doesn't sound like they were just agreeing with the opinion: that sounds like fully fledged support.

“After the outcry over SOPA, we decided to take a second look at other things we supported in the past. You know, just to make sure. Well, as it turns out, there were a few other positions we should probably rethink, and this is the first (though probably not the last) step in correcting those oversights.”

As far as red light cameras go, we liked that they’re good for both the public (in that they promote safety) and for the government (in that they make it easier to rip off the public). Again, nothing is perfect in this world, but surely you can understand our position. Besides, hindsight is twenty twenty, right?

Finally, the whole Justin Bieber thing was a mistake. We were just looking to support a fresh new face in music and for whatever reason decided to go with Bieber. Unfortunately, we were only recently made aware of the deep, nearly universal hatred that exists for this young man outside of a few million teenage girls. We should’ve gone with Taylor Swift instead.

In conclusion, we’d like to remind you that we still have Danica Patrick as our spokesmodel and she, as far as we can tell, continues to be well liked.”

It's a shame that they're not having two streams - the ultra low cost machine delivered to their intended target, and a commercial machine delivered to the thousands of hackers who've expressed very real interest.

The hacker stream could be slightly more expensive, and would help (or entirely fund?) distribution and documentation and etc of the low cost stream

Also:

> Mr Braben got his start in games thanks to the BBC Micro on which he, and school friend Ian Bell, created pioneering computer game Elite.

The BBC micro was pretty expensive, and normally found in schools or homes of well off families. So I'm glad he's decided to get a really cheap capable machine in the homes of people who could use it, rather than an odd niche gimmicky development board.

There's some things wrong with English education, especially with technical subjects at all levels, and it's nice to see someone side-stepping the political nonsense and delivering something that might actually help.
