Ease of use does not come from a distro. It comes from how good you are at setting up desktop environment.

As for developers paradise, i honestly doubt that debian-like system would be what you need. If you are serious about writing code, then you most likely will require custom compilations of programs. And ability to recompile them with same setting, when new version comes out (and as soon as possible).

Additionally, most of the "user friendly" debians have this notion of automatic updates. I honestly hope that you can see what harm can come from this.

I would recommend for you to check some other distros and not to limit yourself to debians.

P.S. if something is "hard" to install or maintain, it only means that you have decided not to send time on understanding how it works.
Yes, there is definitely the middle ground.

No, he corrected it after it had been an issue for some time and was negatively impacting his customers' enjoyment of what they had purchased.

Throughout Minecraft's development, "barely good enough, and sometimes not even then" has been the externally visible modus operandi. That so many players put up with customer abuse is unfortunate, not least because others will consider Notch's slipshod development practices and infantile product management goals to which one might aspire.

An individual himself can't predict whether he or she will be successful or not, but someone who's seen many such individuals in their "before" state and in their "after" state can make more accurate predictions.

For example, YC's whole investment model is based on the assumption that it's not just hindsight, and that the YC partners can use the data model that they have, that gets better with each batch, to predict which founders fall into the "success bin", and they choose to invest in those.
Ahh you're right. The "Sweet Jesus" face would be more appropriate for that incredible bliss. It is important to understand the subtleties.

One part that I had forgotten to talk about within the post was the fact that each face can't be lumped into a single emotive adjective.

It is the fact that the faces can mean different things depending on the context of what happened before and what happened after actually gives them more power over its written counterpart.

I'd argue it's in the subtle details of different facial arrangements that help explain why there is such a strong effect of empathy.

Ahhhhhhh. Thanks. OK, so actually I now see that single (one-finger) clicking makes it go away AND makes it come back. It wasn't actually fading on its own because of a fade out hideaway timer, it's just that I was touching the pages.

And I wasn't having success bringing it back consistently because it doesn't listen to clicks along the very top of the page.
kind of cool but in the end, you need to open your browser anyway !!
Yeah, but only technically. His parents were foreign-born, he was a British citizen, his university-level education happened in Oxford and apparently he never worked in Brazil.

But Chile's two Nobel Prizes are for Literature, which is cool but not very relevant to the author's point, so we're even.

In any case I'm not sure if even science Nobel prizes or top universities' rankings are very relevant indicators regarding web startups. Germany and Japan both have loads of Nobel prize winners and several excellent universities, but we don't see startup hubs in those countries comparable to Silicon Valley or even Israel (proportionally).

Well, if you were to assemble a small, elite team of programmers, arguably you'd have better luck in Brazil, or possibly Argentina, than in Chile, based on sheer numbers alone. On the other hand, I believe the average education in Chile is much better: for instance, literacy rate is 96.5% compared to Brazil's 90% (much less if we count functional literacy).

Overall, though, I believe Brazil probably is still the best place for investing in startups in South America. See 500 Startups for instance:

http://www.quora.com/Why-did-500-Startups-choose-Brazil (I don't completely agree with the top answer, which is a tad too generous to Brazil, but it is instructive.)

Plain old terminal works for me, but you have to ⌘-double-click.
I am willing to bet that when we have flying cars and forcefield doors, there will still be problems of this kind in "information management", or whatever name you want to give to the problem that the web tries to solve.
couldn't you just design it with a small clue, such as an arrow, which would open a drop-down menu when rolled over (on a computer) or tapped on (on a touch device)?

I really, really like this idea as a solution to fix possible hidden rollovers usability issues. Like the best ideas it sounds obvious once you hear it. If it is well executed (I would imagine something clean and simple yet recognizable like a point within a circle) and when/where it does work, then - like you said - it's a solution that works for both touch and rollover, and that's exciting too.
same error here.
So really, we should view the attacks as committed by LulzSec members under the banner of Anonymous, but not Anon "proper", correct?
Here is one way to force your browser to open a URL by entering a terminal command:

echo 'open location "http://my.domain.com/some/file.html"' | osascript
Changing "sed -E" to "sed -r" and all instances of "==" to "=" makes this script run on my Debian system. Unfortunately, it leaves the terminal blue when it is done.

I'm running plain old terminal on OS X Lion and if I hold down the ⌘-key and double click, the link in the terminal opens in my default browser.
Yes, http://www.lonelytraveler.com

We connect travelers with locals in their destination who can give them experiences that traditional tour companies cannot.

Me and my co-founders have been bootstrapping it since earlier this year, when we failed to find any real competition online for this concept. In a fit of global consciousness synchronicity, there are a few dozen now popping up all over the world.
Affordance is a used extensively in the usability field and is a fundamental part of the vocabulary. Don Norman, Jakob Nielsen and Alan Cooper all use it quite a bit in their writings, so anyone who has background studying the literature of the field will be familiar with it. Not knowing it is something of a shibboleth that suggests one isn't familiar with the basics of the profession. It would be difficult to be in the usability field for long without having read works by one or more of the three practitioners mentioned, or having met them at conferences, or run into discussions with others about their work. The term is also used by many other designers as well, I just mention those three since they are pretty big names and I happen to see books by Norman and Cooper on the shelf directly above my monitor.

Yes, usability testing confirms this, which is why you do it. Put key functions in hidden controls and then ask people to perform tasks that require discovering the controls. Most won't find them. In another comment here I mention my experiences with usability testing and finding that the much more well known paradigm of context menus is used or thought of by extremely few users. Advanced users will use it a lot, especially after the first time they look for context menus and find they are there and robustly designed in a given app, but non-advanced users, which is the vast majority, will never look there. In working with customers, some find the existence of features in context menus only after many years of work with a given program. One absolutely can not depend on users to assume that needed functions can be found in invisible items.
MacTerm does this, for one.

This is basically what we've done with Leanpub, except we're entirely focused on ebooks. There's zero cost to use Leanpub; you write in Markdown on your computer, we sync with Dropbox and we generate PDF, ePub and MOBI with one click. The author gets 90% - 50 cent royalty. The only part that isn't turnkey right now is automated export to Kindle store and iBookstore, but we're working on that. (Right now you need to submit the Leanpub MOBI and ePub files yourself.) The cost to write a book should just be opportunity cost: an author shouldn't have to spend anything or give up any control in order to reach his or her audience...
Who voted for such link?
regexp != regular expression like xyzzyz said. This script uses backreferences which give regex's more "computing power" than regular expressions actually have, but remove the guaranteed runtime of an O(n) regular expression.

Quote:
One common regular expression extension that does provide additional power is called backreferences. A backreference like \1 or \2 matches the string matched by a previous parenthesized expression, and only that string: (cat|dog)\1 matches catcat and dogdog but not catdog nor dogcat. As far as the theoretical term is concerned, regular expressions with backreferences are not regular expressions. The power that backreferences add comes at great cost: in the worst case, the best known implementations require exponential search algorithms, like the one Perl uses. Perl (and the other languages) could not now remove backreference support, of course, but they could employ much faster algorithms when presented with regular expressions that don't have backreferences, like the ones considered above.

If that and the Wiki article still don't help you understand why regexp != regular expression, please ask. =]
Meh, I doubt it. My opinions will change if the approach I am taking now result in significant failures to hire attract desired talent.

My current hypothesis is that potential hires will consider good compensation, regular profit-sharing with the company, and significant upside in the case of an "exit" competitive with (and hopefully much better than) the "normal" offers.

if my hypothesis is disproven, I will need to revisit things.
Not to be rude, but what does this get me over elinks?
Exactly. When I came across this earlier I took them with a grain of salt. They probably shouldn't be implemented exactly as written because as you said your mileage will vary. Everyone's stack is a little bit different and have their own sets of weaknesses and considerations.
If you add a line like the following to the end of the script, any color changes should be undone:

echo "\033[0m"

Also, I believe Debian's /bin/sh is "dash" whereas it is "bash" on most other systems. You could change your copy of the script's header to use "/bin/bash" instead of "sh" (assuming that bash is installed too), which is easier than fixing equal-signs and such.

As far as the original code is concerned, using "perl" may be slightly more portable than "sed -E".
You're altering the terminal colors without resetting them. You should output a reset code after you're done (\033[0m IIRC?) or (drastically) issue `reset`. Although, a blue terminal is kind of a nice change.
It's your type of cynicism that is actually an apologetic for the dishonorable behavior. If you stopped saying "everyone does it" then we could start punishing the dishonorable. It's NOT TRUE that everyone is a liar.

Rockefeller and Carnegie were liars, sure, but they had to keep it quiet, they had to buy up newspapers and physically intimate people so their lies would not be exposed, or they would lose face.

Our entire legal system is based on the concept of honor. It's a real thing that existed and people took it seriously. Of course people still lied and some people worshipped the powerful, but at least back then people hid their skeletons in the closet. Now people just blatantly lie, openly engage in what would be called bribery at any other point in history, blatantly and proudly sell out the public good for personal profit, engage in the grossest type of war-profiteering, etc.

Remember how war profiteering used to be a bad thing? Now it's a fucking virtue. Halliburton is a war-profiteering company! War-profiteers used to be hanged for treason!

There was a time in America where if you committed fraud, no matter how "technically legal", you would be lynched. Until dead. And juries would acquit your murderer.

I'm building the other part of the equation, ie how to find and hire great editors and artists. Would you be interested in doing a skype call sometime?

I think if we can work together somehow we might be seriously able to make self publishing easier and Still facilitate high quality editing and art work.

I sent an email to Peter already and I'll send you an email tomorrow when I get up. Gnat. My email s in my profile.
Personally, I like those. I assume you are talking of the interface on some sites with let's say a user profile and there is a visible [EDIT] button in the upper right. Click on it, and all the nice formatted readable content is replaced with editable text elements that can be tabbed through, and these might have formatting bars in them or section delete buttons. Different from the discussed scenarios where basic functions are hidden and one must move the mouse around to different places to see if they may or may not exist, which is bad and smacks of video game treasure finding design, which is fine for video games and absolutely not fine for other applications. With the proposed [EDIT] design it is quite clear what is going on by examining the page visually. A related issue would be that the same profile viewed by other than the owner of the profile would show no [EDIT] button at all, nor would such button appear to them under any circumstances. No features hidden because for non-owners, there is nothing to edit.
This is awesome. I've been playing around with d3 and the mercator map, but haven't been able to get this kind of interactivity. Great work!

This article's title should have been "8 things the author did to secure their specific Ubuntu server."

It's strange that it the link got so many votes. While the article has a few points about security, it's nowhere sufficient enough to be considered acceptable reading material for improving your site or server's security. (case in point: complete lack of anything on their list addressing integrity of your files/content, also nothing about backups)

It would be a shame if anyone from HN took the approach the author describes in the above article and felt any sense of increased security on their site or about to be launched web app (there is a whole heck of a lot more out there than "install a few things, make a few tweaks, look what i did")
So write your blogging engine as you normally would and then make a button which says: dump to html for each page and then figure out when you want that button to be pressed (i.e. manually or automatically).

More things to learn. Yay!

My husband is a programmer; I have no idea what that means.
You're right, of course.

Ignoring my opinion of _not_ using a non-standard port, I would update both of the files you listed.

One on the server, to switch to the new port. And one on the client, to modify (or create) a configuration section that (among previous options) now lists a non-default port.

Who in his right mind would want to give the port manually on ever connection attempt? :)

I used to do this in Firefox (before Chrome came out), and I thought it was great. Then, I switched to Chrome (simply because it was significantly snappier) and quickly realized that just Googling everything directly from the Chrome bar was almost always as good as all those specific shortcuts I had setup in Firefox.

The draft specifies that this should work "to the extent that the underlying system supports exclusive accesss", so basically, you are hosed if you use this :-)

On some systems, this will mean no locking, on others, advisory locks, on yet others, no locking at all. I bet it will depend on the file system, too (NFS mounts, I am looking at you)

Really? It ran quite smoothly on my iPhone 4S and my parents' ancient Athlon X2 3800+ (running Windows 7). It took 2-3 seconds to get going, but then it was quite smooth.
Not knowing it is something of a shibboleth that suggests one isn't familiar with the basics of the profession.

I appreciate that it isn't too much of a shibboleth for you and that you could stick around, I'd be interested in knowing a little more about the literature you mentioned. Do they propose specific techniques to usability testing? Which one do you use? In my case it's watching friends/family/expo attendants interact with the app but I don't have much of a formulated technique, it's casual, but I'd be interested in knowing more (and in the process I may be convinced that I should actually read that literature).

One absolutely can not depend on users to assume that needed functions can be found in invisible items.

I don't think it's that simple. It depends on the context and on the target. On a professional tool targeted to software developers like github, and being a consistent pattern, then yes, I think you can depend on that. If on the other hand you use that pattern in a context where it's not frequently seen, and/or it's not a consistent pattern in your app, you probably shouldn't depend on it, no.

Internet business consulting
Talk to us. RetailBizMD is one of the few companies that have all the skills (Internet business consulting, Ecommerce web development, Ecommerce web hosting services, social media as a marketing tool, Retail Consulting Services, etc) required under one roof.
As soon as a company accepts the burden of safe harbor, it can no longer claim to be a common carrier, and that's the beginning of the endless slippery slope. Every new law just piles on the nonsense. Corporations are agents of the government because they exist at the government's pleasure, so they can't do anything which is overtly against the government's wishes. That's why Internet censorship prevails, and why it will likely continue.

It's tough to define or predict what is "interesting to humans." I'm interested in primality testing of arbitrarily large integers that wouldn't be feasible to test with a huge regex consisting of a bunch of known primes combined with alternation.

I don't think that solution would be very feasible anyway. The four largest known primes alone would take about 20 megabytes if stored as unsigned integers.

Yet he is fondly remembered for the Rhodes Scholarship and his donations to the University of Oxford.

Osbornes Solicitors
Personal Injury Claims Solicitors - Osbornes Solicitors are specialist lawyers in personal injury compensation claims on a no win no fee basis.There are countless ways in which one person's negligence can cause another to trip, slip, fall, be fallen on or otherwise suffer personal injury.These cases can be difficult to win because councils can often rely on the defence that they had a proper inspection and repair system. It is very important that the injured person takes photographs of the defect and contacts witnesses as soon as possible.
