Ok, thanks. Not being an American I wasn't sure how the system worked. So when do they actually check the no fly list?
I'm a very tall man (6'4") and always have trouble with a lack of legroom on flights (even JetBlue).

A few years ago I was adventurous, and frustrated -- there were no seats left on the flight that it would let me reserve online. Yet for this particular airline, it showed that the exit row seats were available, but clicking on them lead to an alert that you could not book them online: You had to do so at the airport.

I decided to look at the code making the seat selection calls, submitted my seat selection for that seat anyway -- and wallah! I was granted a ticket with that exit row seat. Had no problem going through security or boarding.
Haven't tried it since - as most airlines now charge extra for those seats, and its not such an easy hack.

It seems like the current Vundle version does not play well with .vimrc under version control. That’s why I like Pathogen more, since I can simply insert the bundles as Git submodules into .vim/bundle. (Submodule support for Vundle is already on the way, there are some pull requests on GitHub.)
There was an article concerning custom-essay writing on HN a little while ago* so this isn't particularly ground breaking for me, but it does beg the question, why commit your time and energy (startups take up a big chunk of your life for at least a few years) to something so slimy? There's obviously a need for something like this as lazy people are willing to pay but wouldn't you rather do something more meaningful?

Full Disclosure: I've gamed the school system, and have not always gotten the full power of my education. I've done this by reading book reviews, google book snippets etc to reduce reading loads--so I have been there in a sense. I just don't understand that place of wanting to create a startup around the immoral. I'm not judging, I'm just curious.
I've seen smooth transitions between de facto ownership of projects a ton, but never a bitter divide where both ends are actively maintained.

One pathological example is delayed_job, which has changed 'leadership' a few times over the years. It's still pretty easy to look at the 'network' graph and choose the endpoint you want... or just use the published gem.

Maybe it's a Canadian thing, and an international thing. To be fair, I suppose I haven't flown any purely domestic flights in the US.
This is a great way to expose the danger of these bills. By recasting the sponsors as victims of their own folly, the fundamental problem is neatly and clearly illustrated.

That's what alt+tab and ctrl+tab are for. The confusion comes from the use of only one back button instead of one per hierarchy.

On android we have only one system-wide consistent timeline to work with, and that's the timeline of fired intents. It works across the whole system. Back works on that level by default and is defined by default as "go back in time".
Along with everyone else's activity indicator complaint, I also think that color coding the bottom "info bar" area of each item according to category would be useful for quickly scanning and separating all of that info with the eye.
Based on this you could make a case about this being an antitrust violation as they are tying one product (which is a monopoly in one arena) to another product in an arena which isn't a monopoly.
When your flight is booked, the airlines are required to check it against the copy of the no fly list they're given. So typically you do this online, well before you visit the airport.

Its a double sided sword. If you make it easy to take your kids out of school every nutcase religous freaks takes them out am teaches bullshit (witch is kindof like crippling them).

On the other hands if you have parents that can handly it, cant do it its bad too. How about hacking the system and open your own school let the kids pay 100'000 a year, then your kids will be the only ones going :)

There's social networking for one thing if you have friends in the US. A FB link to a blog post might be effective, especially since a certain segment of Americans are very sensitive to foreign opinion.

If you're up for a larger time commitment you could help with research and improving anti-SOPA websites.

Come to think of it, there really should be an "Anti-SOPA activities for people outside the US" list, but I don't know of one. Researching that and posting it might not be a bad way to contribute:)
The Pirate Bay says it will no longer serve Torrents, shifts to Magnet links
Ups to you! I think (and hope) that we haven't seen the end of magnet yet. I wish the scientific community would start using magnet links for paper references, instead of archaic bibtex layouts combined with online publishers who charge 30 dollars without adding value.

I don't agree that GitHub is killing open source. However, the author has a point. It is hard(er) to merge into other forks, which is a shame since git is so good at this.

I'm not critising GitHub, their software is great, but in the next iteration, they should consider addressing this.
My motivation for debating the two uses of the back button is whether I prefer a smooth OS integration (back as in back in time) or whether I prefer displaying more ads and am willing to capture the user inside (back as in up within my app).

It has unfortunately little to do with UX, since both end up being confusing on edge cases (Astro's horribly enraging "press back twice to 'exit'", the conversation or gmail app issues people mentioned in this thread).

I personally tend to prefer back as in back in time but I know for sure opinions vary.
Along with sunchild's feedback, I would also say that selecting an item from the dropdown should tokenize it (it has been selected after all!).

Also just a side note from my own experience, I have found modular input boxes to cause cognitive friction for users in almost all cases except adding "cc" and "bcc" users to messaging systems. Otherwise, it seems to slow people down when using...at least from my tests. This guy http://www.ryancramer.com/journal/entries/select_multiple/ gives a pretty good walk-through of my own findings.

I personally have found that this library http://www.suumit.com/projects/bsmSelect/examples/index.html (in particular example # 5) along with actually animating the "fly ins" of the tokens, to be very obvious to the majority of users when a small number of multiple selects are needed.

Screw conveyor, belt conveyor,  silo, manufacturer, India, ahmedabad
KHODIYAR screw conveyor, also known as a spiral conveyor, screw conveyor, helix conveyor or center less auger conveyor, consists of a spring steel or stainless steel, flexible screw that is enclosed in a flexible or rigid plastic tube, or a rigid steel tube, and driven by an electric motor normally located at the discharge end of the conveyor. This simple design delivers efficient performance and high reliability while reducing maintenance and cost. When properly engineered according to the specific characteristics of the material being conveyed and the process into which it will be integrated, a flexible screw conveyor can outperform rigid screw conveyors, bucket elevators, drag chain conveyors, aero mechanical conveyors and other equipment intended to transport powder and bulk solid materials. For more details visit our website: http://www.khodiyarinfratech.com/screw-conveyor.html
That's good to know, I'll include it in the documentation.

What does this have to do with git_hub_? Isn't this a "problem" with git?

I don't think it is a problem at all because without git (or hg, bazaar etc.) or github we wouldn't even have such a thriving open source and open development community. Collaboration didn't get harder with DVCS it got easier.

I was thrown off too -- until I realized that Chrome does tabs that way, and it's not confusing there at all. It's just that the post author overlapped them in the opposite direction that tabs typically are laid out: the rightmost tab in the CSS version is the highest, instead of the leftmost one like in Chrome / Sublime Text / other noticeably overlapping tabbed applications.
I have no idea what you are referring to.
Website authors don't have a choice though. It's be on google or don't exist.
Likewise on my XP Laptop in Chrome...and I have Roboto TrueType font installed. Then un-installed the font, and it looks far better!!

Do they have a home button? I'm sure the answer varies but in general you need the hardware and software to agree on some things. That is my point. Even if the software is flexible such as Android 4 that will display the buttons if necessary, or use hardware buttons if they are available.

AFAIK Android was basically unusable on iOS hardware, using the sleep/wake button in an odd way and other things that do not work well.
But it's still not a monopoly. If you want your ultrabook to run Linux, buy an x86 where you can disable secure mode. If you want an ARM, then Microsoft deserves the same treatment as the others. If Apple can lock its iPad, the same applies to Microsoft.
It doesn't seem that's a list of top incubators. Possibly top US incubators, which is hardly the same thing; I'd dare say that Seedcamp, HackFwd and some other European incubators are in many ways better than half of those listed.

One could argue that someone who succeeds using a service like this is better prepared for the 'real world' where a large portion of those in business outsource or hire consultants to accomplish anything they can't figure out, hire for, or wish to learn themselves.

Everything in moderation, and it can be a double-edged sword, but I've seen it just as likely that someone 'fails' in the real-world because they don't think outside the box to someone else helping them solve their problem.

Look at the successes of crowdspring, fiverr, odesk, and elance.

I had a HS history teacher who gave all tests as take home, open book tests. One day I was really busy with other assignments and asked a friend if he could take my paper, copy his answers, he handed it to me the next day in class, I saw answers, I handed it in.

I got a 0% on that test. Not due to cheating, but due to lack of attention: The teacher had randomly handed out different versions of the test to different kids, the questions were the same, but the order was different. My friend copied all the answers... in to the wrong questions. The teacher obviously knew what happened - but he didn't lecture me about it. He knew I'd learned enough of a lesson with the 0% grade - He was right.

To me, the lesson wasn't "Don't cheat" but was either "Check your work" or "Know what you're taking responsibility for".
To my knowledge, gmail always includes is own headers when sending mail, so it doesn't appear to be from your server, rather, it's from your domain VIA gmail.

Is there's a way around this and use gmail as a local pop-client?
Well we don't have zero content. We have some, of course not everything, but we're working on it. And like I said earlier there's a fine line between trying to launch fast and filling it with content which at the end (maybe) nobody even uses. This way we found the topics interesting to most people and we'll quickly iterate on that!
I switch from Rails to Django a while ago. On a feature base the two frameworks are equals. I explained it in depth in this video http://vimeo.com/31083901 ( It's in Italian,mf.Du you speak it?! :-) ). Basicaly I turn on django beacuse I prefer Python to Ruby: again the two languages starts from the same assumptions ( Guido also told that ) it's just my personal taste. Also django do things THE WAY I like more. For ex: the configuration is simpler because it uses python files as config an not [name yours]ml. That said in DEVELOPMENT MODE ( production is a total different world ) Django is faster than Rails. The time to running test/ start dev server is not 100% of a developer productivity so I'm not saying that django is more productive than rails. I'm saying that I'm more productive with django than with rails. Use C++, Fortran ,Lisp ,Scala what ever you want: just deliver good software. PLZ
We'll look into adding those topics, since they are very important, thanks.

As for the search, it isn't working perfectly (yet), we're on it! :) Thanks!

Well that was the whole point of my original post, asking HN to display it differently. In the mean time the userscript will do just fine.
You are right, there are of course awesome sites to learn Ruby online for free, and we'll definitely include a whole batch of 'em in the iteration, they just didn't get into the first launch! ;)
I very much agree with the need for a deployment strategy. Unfortunately common literature on the subject still seems to point towards using FTP as the corner stone of the release.
I have had 'normal' schooling for the most part of my life.
Two years back, I got into web dev. Made an app or two.
Now working on others. I learnt everything about it on my own. For the first time in my life, I REALLY understood the meaning of an effective pitch and the value of expression. I taught myself to write well, to be able to communicate with the developer community, do a lot of math and well, coding. I spent time learning how to sketch too. I had so much fun studying the boring subjects - arts, writing etc. In fact, the 'boring' subjects were made boring only for lack of application!
Had I gone the 'normal' way: I don't know whether I'd have been better off but what I do know is that I could never have learnt so much.

It's really circumstantial. What works for someone may not work at all for someone else. So, there cannot be a fair comparison, so to speak.
In my experience, interfacing native code via C++/CLI has negligible overhead, unless arguments are big and complex data types, which have to be converted to .NET types.

Otherwise, unsafe regions have practically zero overhead, and they are close enough to the metal.
now I understand why natural language processing is tough, nuances, context and downvotes
Google's Marissa Mayer Laugh Compilation
>The goal should be to get users to care about the SOPA issue on their own volition -

Never going to happen. How much money has been spent for how long to get people to care about the millions of things they should care about and they just don't.

What makes people care about something is not being able to do what they want to do. If something gets in the way they rage at that thing first. Then when it won't move they rage at what ever put it there. The rage keeps moving further up the tree of effects until something happens.

If I understand magnet protocol correctly, it doesn't matter. If two files are the same, they have the same hash, so the system (DHT) cannot tell them apart.

If the files are different (e.g. 256 and 320 bitrate mp3 files), then that is a completely different problem.
I am beginning to believe that the only thing that will convince the politicians is to go ahead and pass SOPA, then everyone just have every large commercial site shut down constantly with SOPA complaints, after all there are no repercussion for ruining someones livelihood with SOPA.
It's a little bit extreme but I understand your point of view. Anyway I think GitHub helps open source more than how it kills it.
I'm sorry that you feel that way :( We'll keep working hard at it and maybe someday, we'll be able to make you happy as well :) As for the topics: on it!
very high on the list, thanks! :)
I've been the leader of a project I assumed from another guy that he assumed from yet another guy and then the original guy even assumed leadership back after a while. No one missed a beat. If you're involved in this community, you are most likely capable of tracking down the "correct" fork.

Unfortunately, the "published gem" part is the one that has given me the most trouble historically. But now that pretty much everyone uses bundler for gems this should be a nonissue - you can even specify a branch of a fork that you'd like to build.
The business idea is dubious. The website looks just very bad. The /competition page is just flaming about others. The blog starts with a big div over the text containing a video. advertisment?

Thank you. You're right, in the first batch we looked for a balance between paid and free resources that's why we just chose a few providers of online courses/screencasts/books, the other formats will be added soon. :)
We'll add some, promise. Do you know any good ones?
Luxurious Vacation Waterfront Rentals in Florida
If your company is dictating what you do when you're not working you either need to find out if those clauses are even binding (probably not) or just find a modern place to work. If they really control what you do when you're not on the clock then explain to me how you're not a slave.

The worst part about this is, if companies are allowed to do this they can ensure that some people must continue working for a living instead of becoming financially independent through their own talent.

The very fact that both forks are available on github means that you can check out both forks, then merge changes locally. After that, you can use the merged code to create a new github project that is not a github fork of the original ones.

If you really have a tangled web of failed forks, this is the way to fix it by starting afresh with a merger of the best forks.
From what I understand, DHT has a big trade-off vs BitTorrent: DHTs are crawlable[1] and copyright holders can more easily track who holds copies of what yet it's easier to duplicate search engines like TPB within hours for the same reason.

So the effect seems to be that the RIAA, MPAA, etc. will likely not be able to take down trackers; they'll have to revert back to suing their "customers" (or lobbying to pass absurd legislation for that matter).
