My apologies if I come across the wrong way, but this doesn't take an article to explain.

CSS3 transitions and keyframes are hardware accelerated and in most cases native to the browser.

Doing anything with javascript and the DOM is single threaded and expensive.

If you are using jQuery, look at cssHooks for nice fallbacks to js animations if you feature detect for particular effects.
i once built a clojure web app and used a startssl free certificate. it worked fine after i imported it into the java keystore. i was using OpenJDK under linux. were you using Oracle's java?
A single engineer got SQL Server up and running on Linux with a few weeks of effort. Berenson killed the project after this work was done.

It would have taken significantly more effort to bring the server to product quality on multiple *nix platforms.
Does it matter whether both parties are signatories?
Graduate classes. Honestly - I'd been a professional programmer for years when I went back to grad school in CS, and I really didn't expect it to make a difference in my programming, but it did. Thinking at a deeper level about the logical structures I was manipulating made me a better programmer.

I think you'd get the same benefit from doing a lot of reading and coding of examples from e.g. algorithms textbooks and so forth - the key (I think) isn't even so much what subject, just that you're thinking hard about each line you right instead of just emitting it at speed for a deadline. Sort of a meditation or kata.
Yep. It'll be great for this company once the regulations are loosened and they can begin selling to all the countries onnafrica, the middle east, western Europe, and Asia. Bad for everyone else though.

> The example sentence has misspelled words, hence is within the domain of spell checking.

No, it doesn't . It is grammatically incorrect, but all the words are spelled correctly. You're definitely talking about a grammar checker, not a spelling checker.
That had the ring of truth to me, and I've done a significant amount of porting to IBM z/OS and IBM System i (each of which have a lot higher 'weirdness' quotient than NT --> Unix.

If there is a compiler on the platform for the language in which the product is authored, getting core functionality standing up and walking can often be accomplished in a shockingly short timeframe. Getting things to run well, properly documented, interfacing as desired with other components on the system, and effectively marketed to a different audience...much harder and time/resource intensive.
10 years ago today: Bill Gates kicks arse over security
This is a very cool idea. I see two main uses for this:

1. Testing and QA across multiple devices/browsers.

2. The bigger use I see is educational. Students and classrooms can have shared browsing experiences where the instructor can automatically open websites on their browser for them. Imagine a classroom where the instructor never has to say "navigate to www.google.com"
Why Did the Chicken Scan the QR Code?
I wear mine at the gym and sometimes to/from the gym as well. Why wait for them to become common? In what way are they not acceptable? I challenge anybody not to serve me at a restaurant, or allow me into their store, or kick me out of my place of work because of the shoes I've chosen. How absurd.

Why EdTech is a Crappy Market, Structurally
Your iPhone Was Built By 13 Year-Olds Working 16 Hours A Day
Again, perspective. On average, that's certainly true. In this specific instance, not so. Take a 16 year old boy from the ghetto in the US and compare it to a rich upper caste Pakistani girl. Who has the most advantages?
Thank you for this. We are celebrating the life / lamenting the death of the person to happened to accomplish something notable, not the point-accomplishment itself (which will be duplicated/eclipsed).

One thing that didn't bode well for him:

> Finally, on Mar. 24, the two signed the option, agreeing to the
> 1 percent to 4 percent range, with an exact percentage to be

Then later on when it came time to deal with the exact percentage:

> It [licensing agreement sent by Under Armour] included a royalty
> rate of 1.5 percent for the first stage of sales, and 1 percent
> thereafter. Through his attorney, Hann countered with 5.75
> percent and 4.25 percent.

This is where things broke down. It's puzzling why he didn't stay within the range of the 1 to 4 percent earlier agreed upon. Perhaps 3.75% to start and 2.75% after. Then negotiate down from there. The article states:

> Aerospace engineer M. Frank Rudy, who sold “Air” to Nike, was
> awarded a royalty of around a single percentage point...

I'm thinking Rudy's done pretty well on a meagre one percent.
And you're a true manager right to the end, my friend. Making decision with your heart alone and refusing to see logic and data when they're in front of you.

May our paths never cross in real life.
Yes, but selling drugs after you've been told not to is also an escalation. Are you willing to jail folks on all escalations, all judges orders, or what?

In any event, we've established that the line isn't (just) violent.
You have to satisfy users' needs to make a successful company, and it is very unlikely that the stuff you have to do to satisfy users' needs also happens to be exactly what you'd most like to work on, even if you're the specialist in that problem.

Banks are a good example, though. What irritates me most about banks is not having to figure out how their merchant services work but that they bring a slow, ineffective communication factor into the equation. I would probably dislike dealing with banks for the same reason I dislike trying to make changes in a big company: everything's rolling on a different track from a hacker's viewpoint and the very communication that could bridge that together and bring everyone on the same track goes forward very, very slowly.
Software development bugs: How to identify and prevent them

The selector is applied to all the boxes, not just the outside one. The point here is that jQuery doesn't work well for doing lots at once really.

I met with the CEO of a small software company a few weeks ago and we discussed this. Operational security is a topic I've long been curious how software companies deal with. They have just thirty programming staff, so the operations are different from MS or other firms. He told me only three (very trusted and long-serving) staff have full access to the entire source code.
Isn't the answer to that question trivial? Microsoft needed Windows monoculture to succeed and the way to do that is to completely and totally strangle any Windows customers so they could not move to something else without basically starting over.
It's one of those things where you get excited that there's something so accurate, but also a little fearful of how management could use it to incent badly written code.

First thing I thought when I saw this was livereload, which is fantastic. I have been using it for months and it's never failed me, especially with 2 screens for front end dev
No, not trolling.

The vast majority of API providers do provide libraries (of course, none of them "force" you to use them, and nor will we), and this is considered good practice in many places (see for example the recent "Designing Great API Docs" at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3453315).

I understand the purism of doing it the REST way, but if in practice most developers end up using a library which abstracts away REST - that's what prompted my original question.
Smart bullets, that is the best oxymoron I heard in my whole life.
"If you want to do something big in your life, you must remember that shyness is only the mind," she said. "If you think shy, you act shy. If you think confident you act confident. Therefore never let shyness conquer your mind."

Meditating on shyness as a kind of fear

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
Anyone know of something like this for other platforms than linux?
I don't see an issue with the polling. You're only ever going to use this in dev, I don't care that it polls my localhost frequently. If I'm optimizing my own JavaScript I won't have it enabled. The bookmarklet seems the way to go. Enable it while you're working on CSS, otherwise you don't need it.

Note there's a big difference between transactional email providers like sendgrid or ses and those like mailchimp that cater to newsletters.
why not pin codes, then?
The first most effective thing was taking a data structures class. It was the second programming class I took in college, and I use the knowledge from that class every day. I think that you can be a pretty good programmer without a lot of the theoretical stuff you get taught in CS classes, but data structures is not one of the things you can skip.

Another very useful thing I did was was read The Little Schemer (http://www.amazon.com/Little-Schemer-Daniel-P-Friedman/dp/02...). Before reading it I'd had a lot of trouble thinking recursively, and since reading it I've had very little trouble. I've also found its question-and-answer style very useful for teaching other people how to program using recursion.

Pinterest knocked off by Samwer brothers
At my last job, I was in this exact situation. I attempted to be reasonable and negotiate. My ex-boss's response: "The guys at Google can do it, why can't you? You just aren't good enough".

This was after I spent 3 months (and many long and unpaid hours) saving the company $50K/year. When I was finished, I got reamed in a 2+ hour meeting for not working on the boss's pet projects (even after I explained to him many many times exactly what I was doing and why I couldn't work on his other projects). The problem is that I've seen too many people in upper-management that do things like this. It's why I decided to finally start my own company.

Some people are just not logical and make decisions based on pure emotions. I would have quit on the spot, but I wanted unemployment, so I intentionally made things difficult until I was laid off a month later.

My exit strategy worked.
just make the freaking shoes! sell! what are you waiting for!?!? You have passion for a completely new product in a very profitable niche. Start producing and when you have customers that can't get enough Nike will be knocking down your door. Tell them to shove it.

Could someone pleae correct the title to read "Why Microsoft SQL Server was never ported to Unix" rather than the more general term SQL server (which Microsoft would no doubt be delighted to assume as its own...)
Would you care to giv an example of how that works? I'm having a hard time visualizing such a scenario (unless your department's job is to stall).

War without rules would be a greater horror. Even the ancients had them (Julius Caesar himself was charged with war crimes). How could closure and peace be negotiated, for example, without protection for emissaries.

I fell into this trap too. I got a stress fracture on my shin from a tendon pulling on that area much more than the bone was used to. It took months to heal.

The feet are a complex tangle of muscle, bones, tendons, and nerves. They doesn't respond to increases in stress as well a muscle would. Bones and tendons can need months or even years to build up the strength to handle the stress of serious running barefoot. People who try this should ease into it slowly. Like over weeks or preferably, months.
At 37signals:

We send 40M - 100M emails from our applications each month. We run 3 outbound relays on top of Postfix. We sign about 95% of our outbound mail with Domain Keys using dkim-filter. We also use SPF records for all of our sending IPs / domains. We monitor our sending IP reputation with via Nagios checks and manual review. Use also have checks setup for the most common black lists. Every email that goes out from our applications has an "opt out" link. (This is really important!)

We used to send all of our mail via one IP address. That meant any given spam report could really hurt our deliverability. Today we send from about 10+ IP addresses, divided amongst the apps. If the reputation of one IP goes down because of a false report, we just decrease the volume on that IP until the reputation goes back up.

For our "company" mail we use Google Apps. For our "marketing" mail use Mailchimp.

I don't worry about social acceptability. I have a pair of VFFs for the gym and one for daily wear. They are a great conversation starter, and strangers ask me about them a lot. The one thing they are not good for is standing around. After realizing this and some experimentation I switched to work boots with Dr. Scholl's arch support when I spend a lot of time just standing.

Remote RUBY ON RAILS developer

Hi, I'm a Ruby on Rails developer from Europe, Croatia. I'm looking for remote work. I do both front and back-end. Here's my github: https://github.com/bsutic

Feel free to contact me: bruno.sutic@gmail.com
Apology accepted. I do agree that "it's not a straw man" is a weak rebuttal, but that's more reason to keep the tone civil-- so that people will argue with you sensibly.
I agree - this is part of a tutorial, and these examples are really to prove this point.

Animations using javascript were great when we didn't have anything else, but nowadays they should only be used in browsers without support.

What would be really cool would be a DOM method that tied into the animation code that powers transitions.
Great interview.

Why focus on income? It can so fleeting.

I cashed out a bunch of options last year that put me in into seven figures for ONE YEAR. Next year I'll be making no salary since I "retired" because of my windfall.

I'm way better off than I was when I was making a low six figure salary, but by this measure I'll be worse off.

People need to remember that salaries and wealth are dynamic. Most of the people in the 1% weren't there 10 years ago and certainly won't be there in 10 years.

Like you, I don't wish to disparage what she actually <I>did</I> but calling her a "prodigy" is a bit of a stretch. I see it more of an insult to her memory to over hype her accomplishment than anything else. She came from a very rich family and she passed a test. Yay for her but what about the real poor people in Pakistan that will never have the opportunities she had no matter how talented they are. The emotional outbursts on HN of all places in her defence are, um, disappointing to say the least.

I'm not a huge booster of the whole barefoot trend, but I do think that's what, ultimately, has scuttled Hann's shoe from getting to market. The momentum toward thinner soles and less material is anathema to the theory, look and feel of this shoe.

You've got a book--Born To Run--that won't leave the NYTimes Bestseller list. And you've got every serious/casual runner out there espousing the virtues of minimalist footwear for running. I feel like I run into conversations on the topic at half of the social events I go to; Vibram has made millions of those five-toed shoes; everybody feels smarter for having read that book and worked less foam into their running routine -- and now this guy shows up with a shoe that runs straight against that vibe? That's tough swimming, even if he's right.

Obviously, he should have assented to a far lower royalty rate.
The visualization is a bit confusing, but it makes sense that the manager box is larger than the CEO box since as others have pointed out there are more managers than CEOs, however notice that the CEO box is noticeably darker than the manager box, indicating that CEOs are more likely to be in the 1% than managers.

It's not a terrific visualization. It's a bit difficult to compare box sizes and colors.
Just because it's not a lost sale, that makes it right? It's right that some people have to pay for it and some don't (just because one would buy it and one wouldn't)?
Yeah, a library for a library, there's little difference, I agree; but the main point of REST is exactly the fact that the library is optional, and if necessary it can be entirely bypassed with little effort. With SOAP this is almost invariably impractical or impossible; you'll need a basic SOAP library even for sending "Hello world" back and forth. REST is more human-friendly in many ways.

Somebody could also say REST implementations usually end up passing less data around, because they usually don't require the overhead of compulsory metadata typical of SOAP standards (schemas, "envelopes" etc). This is obviously a trade-off with "exactness", but again most developers are happy to trade speed for metadata they'll rarely use (if ever). It also helps making server-side caching easier.
