It's hardly his dislike - design has meant, for the longest time, how things work, not just how things look (well, to be exact design is a balance between materials, functionality, and aesthetics). Design is more than just art.

Don't believe me? Name me one design award that awards aesthetics alone. You won't find one, unless you're looking for an arts medal (edit: even graphics design awards have some sort of form and function criteria).
What are the advantages of learning Spanish language?
Learning Spanish is basic for business communication. It’s an assurance that shows that you accept intricacies of business well. Apart from that audience will additionally acknowledge this access and you never apperceive it can additionally be axis point for your business.
Just because engineering and design and marketing each alone are not enough does not make them "horseshit". It just makes them overrated.
Agreed however recall the comment I was replaying to, specifically this:

>IE 6 holds a 1% market share in the US. How many corporations in the US are mandating IE 6 if it's only got a 1% market share?

While the points you've made are valid they are irreverent to the discussion at hand.
Always made me smile when he finished off a debate with the "We've barely got our trousers off" line.
This is in bad taste. Also, I have no idea what it's about, but does "Any man willing to gratuitously fondle the mother tongue as Hitch does above is obviously going to be an apologist for molestation" really constitute a valid argument?
On the other hand, you don't want thousands of people left with out-of-date versions of the sun JDK. Suppose that a critical vulnerability was found in the last version of the Sun JDK plugin that still had the DLJ? Would you then support removing it in a security update?

Leaving browser plugins that can't legally be upgraded laying around people's systems is a severe security flaw, so the decision to invasively remove it is definitely the best option.

Linkbait is Horseshit. See the irony? If it wasn't for the manner in which you communicated I and many others probably would've never seen your article on top of HN, let alone read it, even if it did have "value". Design isn't everything, but it's definitely not horseshit.

Such a sharp thinker, with unbelievable wit and depth of memory.

You can get a sense of his political style from his fascination with the remark from Israeli peace activist Israel Shahak, "there are beginning to be some encouraging signs of polarization". Meaning that usually, well almost always, you have to choose sides. Draw the line between the sides yourself if necessary.

It's Hitchens' writings that introduced me to the early, dry, humorous works of Evelyn Waugh (best known is "Scoop", but also Decline and Fall, and the Sword of Honour trilogy). Some of Hitchens' best writing was literary appreciation, not polemics.

Mostly, they don't pocket it but use it. A congressman is always campaigning and using those funds to live well doing it. They get the rest a bit less openly and from fun loop holes like trading insider info.
I'd like to know what this "Muslim edition" of Ubuntu is about. Green color scheme? Call-to-prayer apps?

I'm not being facetious here, I really am curious.
Heh, I was about to write the same thing as Sanj--SICP was great and I'm happy I took a course on it (at Berkeley). Part of this is due to the fact that the professor that taught it was the best lecturer I've had so far, but mostly because the material was intereting.

I'm assuming your projects were basically the same as ours. Was project 3 about writing a text adventure game? If so, I find that funny: I thought that was the weakest part of the course and a complete waste of time; the Logo interpreter we did for project 4 was infinitely better in pretty much every way. Out of curiosity, when you read the book, did you cover all five chapters?
Anything that means I won't have to use yet another password is a good thing.

However I fail to see how this is useful: no sites use it, because no users use it.

Let's not muddy the waters. Use openid. No excuses.
Yes?

We can assume there are security holes in the current distribution of the Sun JDK plugin, every plugin has some. If there is no way to legally patch them, then the only reasonable response from a security perspective is to remove the package.

In this case there is a mostly acceptable replacement that is easily discoverable (a prompt to install when needed) so it really shouldn't cause any more than temporary inconvenience. Sounds like the right decision in every way.
Here is Hitchens on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart - http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/tue-june-8-2010/christophe... - just delightful.

> No one really makes a stink about needing more men
> florists

That's because people aren't clamoring for more florists in general.

> hospice nurses

Why did you specify hospice nurses rather than just nurses in general? There is a demand for more nurses in general, and part of that is a push to get more men into nursing.

> It seems like we're making them into victims.

Huh? We're talking about how children are influenced. They aren't victims. Unless you think society at large has no influence over the development of a child, I'm not really sure what you're up in arms about here.

The whole point is to spend less time discouraging some types of play while encouraging others based on gender roles (i.e. Billy shouldn't be playing with dolls, he should be playing with toy guns).

Also, if a child only ever sees male doctors, do you think that doesn't subtly influence whether or not being a doctor is seen as a male-only thing to do? (The same could be said of only seeing women nurses. It cuts both ways.)

At least someone on here actually appreciates the work of designer founders :) As a designer, I've felt the same-- it's definitely hard finding backend/UI designers who want to cofound with a designer.

PHP arrays are not really arrays, they are sort of hash-maps.

You can do things like

$arr = array(1 => 10, "1" => 11);

Or even

$arr = array('他妈的我的生活' => 5);

But at the same time you can treat them as regular zero-based arrays.

$arr = array();
$arr[] = 1;
$arr[] = 2;
$arr[] = 3;
$arr[] = 'dog';
People go into business with their parents all the time. If I could convince my father to go into business with me, we'd kill it... no matter how good I am at dev stuff, his 30 years experience in growing businesses would be way more valuable.
First, if I have my java browser plugin installed, I don't expect my browser to offer me to install my java browser plugin. It may well be a malicious site tricking me into something, who knows.

Second, this does not solve all the other myriad use cases that do not involve the browser, like stand-alone java programs. What if my java application does not run anymore after switching to a different implementation? I see my java package still installed and 'java' on the command line still works. That's some nice fun cases for "It worked yesterday and I haven't done anything in the meantime" admin calls.

New To Barkles: Ask A Question
Hitchens was wrong about a lot in my view, but for many atheists he was an important figure.

He eloquently made the case for our faith in empirical evidence and the scientific knowing of reality, and he didn't pussy out at the end. Knowing he was dying, and soon on his way into that void, still looked that motherfucker in the face, and stayed frosty.

Wish he could have died from old age, though.

I agree. Google doesn't respect the Accept-Language header, just the location. It's really mind-boggling, and that has been the case for ages.
Can anyone care to explain, what do you consider design? It's pretty amazing to see how a word can have different meaning for everyone and being debated.
Note: This can't be a correction so much as (ideally) an opening point for discussion, but Hitchens certainly wasn't a Marxist in the sense of one who advocated replacing the market economy. (Or at least not the Hitchens that died yesterday . . .)

Definitely a Marxist in the sense of a historian -- one who understands events from the standpoint of class -- and even one who supported solidarity among laborers. But replacing the free market? No.

Congress is greatly pleased that Google and others in IT has shown interest in stopping SOPA. It means that they can pass SOPA, and then take bribes - I mean, donations - from the IT sector to repeal it. Then they can collect further donations from MPAA etc., and pass another egregious bill. And so on and so forth, in a to and fro of extortion.

At this point, the purpose of Congress is to pass laws that increase donations so that they can be reelected. Lessig puts the case fairly clearly in Republic, Lost.
Tell HN: the tool we need, a modern CMS with no server runtime
I have been thinking about this one for a long time, but I just have to many irons in the fire to pursue building it.

There are a lot of new client side templating frameworks coming out like dust.js, but I think it would be nice to have a modern CMS that does all of the templateing and then exports the site as flat HTML files for the non dynamic stuff and snippet files for the dynamic stuff. This way designers and copy editors could work in a CMS like they do with the old CMS solutions, but instead of it running server side, it would export all of the content to flattened HTML files. For the dynamic stuff it could be plugable so that the content is published to content files that can be picked up by ones favorite client side templating framework.

Further, it could be enhanced to support WYSIWYG editing for different widget toolkits, say Dojo's Dijit or jQuery UI, where front end developers could write a widget, add it to the CMS and then site editors could add it to a page, Think of Drupal but for pure JavaScript, HTML, CSS based apps. The more I think about it, the more I really want this tool, the new JavaScript app stack is so much cleaner than the old stack and I would love to see a CMS tool that makes a clean break from the old cruft and provides a tool specifically for this market. If anyone is looking for an idea and decides they would want to pursue building a CMS like this, feel free to contact me (in my profile). I would love to discuss my ideas for a CMS like this, as I said, I just have too many irons in the fire to even embark on such a project, but would love to see it come to life. Not to mention I would purchase a copy for every project I work on, if one existed.
Either I've grown up a whole lot in the last two years (possible), or the influx of new Redditors from ... well, everywhere ... pretty much killed the appeal the place had for me. It lost its exclusive feel, and now a 'Redditor' is just any random American college kid.

Part of the problem is that when your home video is wrongfully taken off of YouTube, it's hard to argue damages during the time it was offline if/when you turn around and sue the label.

Arguing a perjury case is also probably a losing battle. Even if you win, it seems doubtful that you would recover any of the lost time, lost wages and/or sunk costs of lawyer fees.

Also, if you won a perjury case, would it be against 'the company' or just the individual that signed off on that particular notice?

So even if you turn around and attempt to pursue legal avenues against wrongful take-downs, there is not much to be gained.

Unfortunately, not so. e.g. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/internet/8030467/Inter...

The Digital Economy Act he is complaining about in that article - which, like SOPA, included provisions for national censorship in the name of copyright - passed by a large majority. Most MPs were not present for the debate, but simply voted according to their party line.
I'm one of the authors of another Backbone ebook (more Rails integration focus), and I heartily recommend Nick & Chris's book. Great content, well-written, and applicable.

One of my personal principles is that I value educational content and training very highly. It's a worthwhile investment - worth the money at over twice the price.

These guys have been thinking hard about these problems for some time. You can see a lot of what Chris has been thinking/writing about re Backbone and JS practices on his blog http://japhr.blogspot.com/
Indeed; I believe it authenticates your browser (or perhaps only your browser session?) across all BrowserID-using sites, drastically cutting down on the number of times you'd have to type in a password.
Wouldn't that be the "responding to the tone" part, 3rd from the bottom? That's not very high up!
It's funny because the pile of jobs lost to illegal downloads isn't visible from the top of the mountain of jobs that will be lost due to SOPA.

You should either remove `self` or bind it differently:

foo = Foo()
def hello():
print("hello, %s" % (foo,))
foo.hello = hello

`foo` is an instance therefore `self == foo` already.

def hello(self):
print("hello, %s" % (self,))
foo.hello = types.MethodType(hello, foo)
I think you're being disingenuous and deliberately misreading the OP because you wanted to write what amounts to a pet peeve. It was clear, even to you, what he meant; you admit as much in your last sentence. But you still went ahead and acted like you had not understood.

Had you merely disagreed with his terminology, and left at that - it would be more forgivable. But you're trying to use it to discount what he said by deliberately misreading it, and thereby you're not actually addressing his argument.
Petition to remove conditions on residence
$2 dollars more expensive, 200+ pages and 50+ recipes lighter than my last Pragmatic Programmer ebook purchase of this type; Rails Recipes.

Also, a few of those recipes I wouldn't consider "after the tutorial" material judging off chapter title alone. Like namespacing and view templates which are covered and covered again across material from the likes of the PeepCode or BackboneScreencast tutorials. But again, that's just judging from chapter titles I haven't read it.

That said, it does seem very valuable but I think the price point is off compared to other books of that type, and other Backbone learning material.
Heirarchy of Need Theory

I first learned of Christopher Hitchens in the run-up to Iraq, which he espoused. I chalked him up as a Bad Guy, and moved my limited attention span on down the pike. Only recently had I realized that he was a lot deeper than I'd given him credit for - and now he's dead.

Life stinks.
Even as a startup founder you are working to enrich other people: venture capitalists. VCs are able to diversify themselves by investing in multiple startups, knowing that most of them will fail, but that 1 or 2 will make the investments worth it. For the average startup founder the expected utility of founding a startup is negative dollars.

It's nice to have thoughts.

I, for example, think this has nothing to do with "pet peeves" or deliberate misunderstandings. I think that the broader discussion of the role of design is very important and powerful, and calling design "bullshit" is a profoundly ignorant position to take. I think that building a cute little straw man and then burning him adds very little of the vaunted value the author has described.

One of the beauties of thoughts is that you get to have yours and I get to have mine. The meta stuff, here, eh, not so useful.
The problem with this solution is that the government has guns and prisons and they will use these to compel individuals to do as they say. If every ISP refused to comply, the feds would make a big show of raiding some significant-but-not-huge regional ISPs and scare the rest into compliance.

Of course, some of this country's largest ISPs probably like SOPA and similar legislation because they see it as strengthening their larger source of revenue: cable television.

You can't create value without good UX

Entirely incorrect. Read the Lean Startup. Value creation is 100% possible without any UX or anything tangible that the customer "sees" at all. A delivery pizza place provides value. I call them, they deliver pizza. There's no "UX" there beyond what already existed (my phone, a working phone line).

Too many people think the first thing that needs to be solved is how something looks or feels. It's not. You can solve a problem without any UX.

One of my favorite SJ quotes! I find it hard to believe the poster is opposed to spending time figuring out how your product should work. Maybe he really just means a startup needs to focus early on, and not waste time on inessentials. I actually hope, though, that Apple's success will make good design (in SJ's sense) more common in the tech industry.
I had to create an account a couple of days ago because it was the only way to log in to openphoto.me. Are there any clear differences between BrowserID and OpenID?
But, that time designing the form is better spent making sure that you actually have something that customers would pay for. My experience has been that if you have something of value, customers will want to pay for it and you can worry about getting paid at that point.

Worrying about how to get money for a product without value is a waste of time/resources.
