"""I think it's perfectly reasonable to define "spelling checker" to include mere non-word detectors. """

Sure it is (reasonable).

You just cannot go around acting as if such a definition is already widespread, established in tech discussions, and followed by spell checkers.
I was invoking stereotypes, but perhaps those were a bit unfair. After all, according to the data linked, only 13.3% of "financial services sales occupations" and 10.7% of "financial specialists" in investment companies belong to the 1%. I should have picked on physicians :P

Also when lid got stuck in the snow (at the end of the second good slide) crow could peck it for as long as he liked. If he wanted to get something out of the lid he would continue to do it not fly again to the top.

I think the pecking only purpose is to make the lid slide down. Apart from that pecking is the same for him as the touch is for us. We tend to move our hands and fingers a lot to improve our sense of touch when we operate an object.
Excerpts from Rupert Murdoch's reaction https://twitter.com/Rupertmurdoch

"So Obama has thrown in his lot withSilicon Valley paymasters who threaten all software creators with piracy, plain thievery."

"Piracy leader is Google who streams movies free, sells advts around them. No wonder pouring millions into lobbying."

"Sure misunderstand many things, but not plain stealing. Incidentally google blocks many other undesirable things."

"Seems like universal anger with [POTUS] from all sorts of normal supporters. Maybe backing pirates a rare miscalculation by friend Axelrod."
Singapore is already 'ahead' of the US in having a site-blocking mechanism:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship_in_Singapor...

One nice thing about the US political culture is that even those who want to censor things will try to spin their efforts as being something else; 'censorship' is a dirty word here, and even professional censors know it.

This isn't the same in less individualistic cultures; there it is often more broadly accepted that censorship for the 'public interest' must occur. The responsible agencies will thus speak with a frankness and pride about their censoring activities – unlike here in the USA, where the same topics only get euphemistic discussion.

Singapore has many admirable qualities but the space afforded non-traditional expression, and especially governmental criticism, is much more limited than in North America. Wikipedia has a nice summary of general cross-media censorship in Singapore...

...and the use of domestic libel suits and other pressure to discredit or pressure news publishers occasionally gets mention in major Western papers, as with this example...

How to use Flurry for split testing and engagement metrics
If I wanted to do iOS/Cocoa programming, I would go straight to Objective-C, bypassing C without stopping, but that's me.

I learned C++ without ever learning C. Although, one could make the argument that in learning C++, I learned about 80% of C anyway. I can debug and fix C code, but I don't enjoy it, and avoid it if possible.

C is interesting, in the same way that Cuneiform is interesting. Personally I just find the Roman alphabet a lot more productive.

Internet Marketing Tips For Successful Web Development
"US websites that contain content describing how to get around the blocks, or US websites that decline to take down links to blocked websites are liable"

Could you cite the parts of SOPA that led you to this conclusion? I looked here: thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c112:H.R.3261: (there's a colon at the end of the URL) and found only provisions that apply to search engines, ISPs, payment processors and ad networks, not generally "US websites". With regard to anti-circumvention, I found only references to "product or service designed or marketed for the circumvention". I don't think that encompasses "content describing how to get around the blocks".
This works just fine from my Windows Phone.
The author has extrapolated a big argument out of a very particular anecdote.

Needless to say, design is incredibly important. You might be able to chuck a few licks of paint over a leaky boat and people will enjoy the odd outing, but eventually that boat is going to sink.
Isn't this the point where 'the people' should not sit on their laurels, and launch a proposal to make a law that does exactly the opposite: protecting the digital rights of citizens?

I am asking because (also in the EU) we are usually happy when some draconian law does not make it, but there's rarely an attempt to push for legislation that secures the rights of internet users.
What do you mean by "balance"? Is it that which you and the culture that conditioned you would consider "normal"?
For many startups users are also customers because they pay in one form or another for the startups services. Of course there are a few startups that have enough funding to not care about monetization at all but thats an exception imo. I see much more web app service startups, mobile Apps, Games etc that actually charge something even if its not upfront.
I run a games startup and our users are customers as well.

The QR code is displayed on the unsecure connected computer. Your phone network is used to perform the login, so it very little data.

A logical next step would be an app that can streamline the auth a bit (have your username prefilled from the Android account) and send the auth to Google via SMS (often easier and cheaper than getting started with dataroaming).
"""The sentence contains misspelled words."""

No, it contains correctly spelled words used in place of other desired words.

"I sea your eyes", "I she your eyes"

If you want to correct these kind of errors, you must now a lot about natural language. Also, the above are trivial cases. There are tons of edge cases and far more difficult distinctions. Here's an amusing one, that can lead to "Microsoft paperclip" like interactions:

"I gave him the new pink dress as a present" =>
"I gave her the new pink dress as a present"

No, idiotic spell-checker, I do mean him. My friend is a cross-dresser, shut up and let me type.

Such a spellchecker would also be useless for poetry. And if you find poetry obscure, so it doesn't really matter, then such a spellchecker would also be useless for irony. Suddenly, you lose all the hipsters from your potential users (except if they start using it ironically).

Anyway, no spell checker in widespread use attempts this --and it's probably a very hard nut to crack, and probably uncrackable in the general case.
you think something can be improved/added to make the site more understandable from the HomePage ? I ask this because if you can be mis-leaded, then some other user/visitor can also be mistaken. any thoughts ?
Unless, of course, Apple refuses to support your platform. And if Apple does refuse--and they do--, your only hope would be reverse-engineering: you can't just port the program itself because it isn't open source.

Imagine the cry if it was Windows only.
a lot of poor hash/encryption implementations are close enough to plaintext.
Visual Studio, for example, has boiler plate snippets, type prop[tab][tab] for a prop declaration, for[tab][tab] for a for loop, fore[tab][tab] for a foreach, etc. There's auto-brace completion and ctrl-enter to add a semi-colon and move to the next line (surprisingly useful with auto-braces). The point being that editors can make boiler plate very easy.

To be completely honest these features don't save much time, even though I use them all the time. As you say thinking and debugging do, compiling not so much unless you're working on a very big project.

Writing fast means you can express the idea in your head before you forget exactly how you figured it was going to work. This is the reason I find most compelling to be able to type fairly fast as well as know the keyboard shortcuts for jumping around (for example jump word in VS is ctrl-left/right arrow).

Revelations can fade fast once you start implementing them.

If anyone wants to see just how bare-bones Shaul's gym is, he's got a channel on Youtube. This was the guide I used to make my sandbags (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8j6yE8LbQTg).

The fastest way to get started on this kind of program imho, is to look up youtube videos of the exercises, and pick up a smartphone tracker. I use Strength by Airlock Software on Android. (Lite version URI https://market.android.com/details?id=com.airlocksoftware.st... and the creator also recently released an excellent HN reader on Android)

There's no point doing a program like this without keeping logs, and a smartphone is the easiest way to do that. That particular app is also very newbie friendly.

Finally, once your weights increase, please spend more time learning technique. Look up Squat RX, "So you think you can Squat" etc. Videos imho are best, though if you want to really geek out, read Rippetoe, Verstegen, McRobert, Kilgore etc too.
Headline: guy owns 15 things

Very roughly the financial sector takes 1% per annum from financial assets, by various means (commissions, fees, spreads etc).

The sector is so huge because financial assets, leverage and debt has grown so much.

Moving back to a non bubble economy, where banks and other financial institutions, the shadow banking sector (and government, and individuals) are not hugely leveraged will resolve the profitability and size of the financial sector naturally.

Currently banking regulation seems to be the most efefctive way of doing this; getting to a state where too big to fail does not exist would help. There is little political will and lots of lobbying though to not get to this point.

"Incidentally google blocks many other undesirable things."

That statement really pisses me off. It also really pissed me off when some politician was like "Google has the technology". Presumably both were referring to SafeSearch and related technologies.

These people have no idea what they are talking about. Blocking porn is an entirely different problem than blocking copyright infringement. Identifying an image as nudity is a task that software can do effectively and that can be crowd sourced in a straight forward manner. Anyone could, without consulting any external source, classify pornography.

However, the same is not true for infringement. The same companies who want their content off of YouTube are publishing free content on YouTube. Google has bent over backwards to block as much infringement as they can and to provide copyright holders the tools they need to manage their intellectual property rights. But the fact remains: you must consult an external source to classify infringing video. Furthermore, fair use is has complex and subtle requirements which are impractical to police using software, crowd sourcing, or enforcement staff.
After rereading up the chain, I see that someone did use the interoperability argument, so yeah, not OT.
Can you cite some links that I can look up? "supercompensation peak" appears to be too general a search term.
Is music recommendation difficult?
I agree - there is this album "Pornograffitti" from the band "Extreme" which made them world famous. It's a perfect blend of Funk & Rock, but that's not all there is to it - you can hear that it is "more" than the average band sound, and the sound is absolutely unique. After some digging, it can be found that there really is more to the tracks - they went to "extreme" lengths to add subtle details (overtones, inverse melodies, elaborate bass lines) which you cannot hear at first - only when you know, you start to hear those subtleties.
My guitar teacher applied some of the concepts to one of the tracks on his band's first album, and it's the only track which really sounds like a hit - the details make it sound epic.
I think it's just a matter of numbers. HN links have, on average, always had relatively few comments, so growth is more obvious, even if there were no other difference but numbers. The comment counts number in the dozens to the low hundreds - reading a typical full comment thread doesn't take long.

So if HN doubled in users over the last N months, then even if 95% of the comments are non-abusive, that means the story that used to get 20 comments and have 1 abusive comments now gets 40 comments and 2 abusive comments. And when it comes to mean, shitty stuff like this, 2 seems like a lot more than 1. And that's with 95% good-guys. When a bigger story happens and gets 240 comments, at 95% positive comments, that's 12 worthless or mean or needlessly sarcastic comments. Ugh.
How extreme is it really? The guy has 15 things with resale value that he treasures. How many things to do you own that you use day in, day out that you treasure.

For me, discarding kitchen things and stuff needed to run a house (furniture, hoover, ironing board etc) I use / wear maybe 25 things frequently.

The main difference between that guy and most people is he chooses to sell / discard / not buy crap he doesn't need. Most people accumulate stuff and fill their attic with it.

That's a good question. But such things go together with a certain lifestyle. For example, when you start having children, it becomes terribly hard to have such a lifestyle. Not only do they need toys and more clothes. But you will require a bigger house, a bigger house goes together with tools for fix stuff, etc.

The question is whether you should define minimalism quantitatively or qualitatively. Isn't minimalism to buy what you need to lead a reasonable life, rather than a race to have the lowers number of possessions? The minimum number depends on so many factors: family size, illnesses, hobbies (some people require only a GPS for hiking, others need a climbing gear), etc.
It'll be a tough call for those sites.

"Internet sites go dark for a bill that was canceled 2 days ago."

Sites planning a blackout better reframe quickly and make the blackout about internet censorship (in general) instead of SOPA in particular.

IMO they put in too long of a lead time from announcement to implementation. Google has not said anything, and now will not have to backtrack, but other sites will.
Nah, don't you think crows know a little better than to expect food to come out of a flat lid (with no container)? If you saw a monkey doing the same, would you think it was looking for food? Why get on the lid and wait, if you're looking for food? Why fly back to the top, if you're looking for food? Why slide down with the lid? etc. I would expect the crow to take other actions, if it were frustrated & looking for food.

The crow picks at the lid, possibly to cause a stir to slide further down, but I don't presume that far. There are many reasons for picking at things, if you're a crow.

Food Hacking - An awesome summer drink on my blog
First, there's no need to be aggressive.

I don't really get what you're trying to say. I would understand if you said that strncat is broken (since it can output non \0 terminated strings, unlike the non-standard strlcat, breaking the principle of least astonishment) but I fail to see the problem here.

It's just garbage-in/garbage-out: strcpy expects a C string, and the char array you give it is not a C string, so it fails by triggering an undefined behaviour. The function has no way to detect this problem, so it's not even laziness.

Pascal strings embed the count within the string, but then you could forge a bogus pascal string with an incorrect size and trigger the same kind of problem.

A great community is built by a focus on positive actions, on growing in a positive direction. To that end - let me take a stab at the definition of a 'value-added comment'.

I would define a value-added comment as lucidly conveyed viewpoint based on a simple set of logically-consistent principles ... that flies in the face of commonly-held understandings of the subject matter at hand. It's not enough to offer an opinion, or an adversarial opinion - it must be clearly stated and supported, so that the emotional weight of its disagreement prompts a healthy discussion where some measure of truth is found, where some insight is gained where there was none before.

This rests on the premises of intellectual honesty, trust, and emotional maturity within all involved, but I nevertheless think that kind of discourse is what would grow HN, and what we ought to focus on. Calling out non-value-added comments does nothing to create a culture of value-added comments.
Ah nice one, perhaps some text to say that would be useful as well.

Another idea is to ask the community to post compatibility and/or hacks to make them work.

All and all a very useful resource in any case!
Good. This is an important victory but the people behind SOPA won't go away so easily. I've always viewed SOPA as more of a litmus test to gauge where Americans stood on copyright enforcement. The next bill the industry tries to get passed(and there will be another) will likely be much more subtle than SOPA was. So let's celebrate, but we must remain diligent. This was only the first round.
