God says...
2:18 And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai,
and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild roe.

2:19 And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the
right hand nor to the left from following Abner.

2:20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he
answered, I am.

2:21 And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to
thy left, and lay thee hold on one of the young men, and take thee his
armour.

But Asahel would not turn aside from following of him.
Bootstrap and Zurb are actually quite different, in my opinion.

Both are based on solid resets and (now) great, nestable, responsive grids.

Bootstrap is great for when you're not a designer and you need to get something out there that looks passable. It includes a lot of fully styled elements and have very nice typography and forms out of the box. I found Bootstrap a lifesaver to get something up at http://www.eventsourcehq.com quickly.

Foundation is great to use as the foundation of a website when you have design skills or are working with a designer. Using the grids and the defaults gives you a lot less to think about when getting the rough outline of a website done, but you won't have to start overriding or deleting a bunch of included styles once you want to apply your own. We've used Foundation as the base for our example project template for http://www.webpop.com and plan on making more foundation based templates.

In short:

Bootstrap when you want something styled out of the box.
Foundation when you just want to quickly get the structure and layout going and then apply your own styles.
Thanks for the tip. Even if I never use it anymore, <i> still means italic to me. The thought of using it for icons breaks 15 years of ingrained habit.
I have filed a bug that was closed about this very thing. Bootstrap is very hard to customize because the variable color names are inane. Rather than define a palette of X many colors and then use that everywhere, bootstrap defines variables as @gray, @pink, @white, etc. If you want a light-on-dark layout, you need to redefine @gray as white, which makes no sense.

I proposed names like @primaryColor, @primaryColorLight, @secondaryColor, etc, but the tickets were closed. Yes, it's a lot of work, but it must be done. If you can define your four colors and have Bootstrap look entirely different, it goes a long way to instant customization.
Good job! Are you able to offer HN readers a discount?
Scary. If research progresses to a stage where its actually able to pick up thoughts rather than sound processing, this sort of technology might be used for interrogation. Imagine drilling holes into the prisoners skull to try and pick up this thoughts.

Starting Line
One of the key's to starting a business on the right foot is having a good foundation. Offering the best services and products is vital to surviving in a flooded market. However, having a great team behind the scenes is something that no one can do without. One of those behind the scene activities is bookkeeping and accounting. Someone that knows the industry and can offer the services that you need can make all the difference. With tax laws changing from month to month due to congressional in-fighting, you need someone that can stay on top of things. There are many key dates and changes that are coming up in the near future. So the sooner you start the easier your future will be.
Talk about a misleading headline:
Second, the scientists kind of cheated: They were listening to the auditory center, which interprets signals from the ear — they weren’t actually listening to thoughts.
I wouldn't say that exactly. "Business things" are incredibly important, particularly sales. But the very word Administration in the title MBA indicates that MBA is about shepherding a successful business, not bootstrapping one from scratch. In this light, an MBA could be the most important person because if they are good they could take a company from 10m to 20m just based on improving efficiency, but that's of little use if your revenue is only 10k.

"TPB has hosted torrent files, they were not hosting content, so what they did was perfectly legal."

Eh, well actually, the whole point is that they were convicted, several times, so it's not 'perfectly legal'. You can call a chair a table, but it's still a table, regardless of your insistence that it's not.
Ask HN: DMCA, what defines: 'financial benefit'?
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Copyright_Infringement_Liability_Limitation_Act#.C2.A7_512.28b.29_System_Caching_Safe_Harbor

Quote "Finally, where the OSP can control the infringing activity, the OSP must not derive any financial benefit through providing the link."

What on earth does this mean, No financial benefit? This is unbelievably wishy washy.

For me this is something important as while I'm not benefiting from people buying content (I stress that this is content will be creative, self-made, user uploaded content), however I will be selling accounts and online storage. Does this mean AWS/S3 is also unable to claim Safe Harbour?

In Python that actually makes some amount of sense, because Python ships with something like five different sorts of lists (arrays, lists, tuples, OrderedDicts, generators) and it's a reasonably generic idea. And it helps that for the one 'proper' case of this, lists, Python also supports list.sort(), so that "it is where it's supposed to be" as well.

The only problem with list.sort() in Python is that it's void; it returns None. It should either return self (and sort self) or return a sorted copy of self, like sorted() will.

On the other hand, in JavaScript, array.sort() is known to be a little broken:

> [48, 19, 7, 14, 30, 22, 45].sort()
[14, 19, 22, 30, 45, 48, 7]

Wat.

It's true that I have ultimate responsibility for my code, and it's true that in Python I can write:

x = 3
x.lower()

...and unlike Java it will not complain that it has no idea how to "lower" 3. But it still suggests like Java suggests that we're going to narrow down the wildly branching tree of possibilities.

When I'm sitting in the Python REPL, and I have an object x, I'll often just call dir(x), to see what I can do with it. What would Common Lisp tell me? It would kindly tell me that it's syntactically valid to call (string-downcase 3), even though that will produce a noisy error. So if I wanted to list all of the things I can do with 3, we would be here for a long time.
Not that I know of, but a very good question, and they do promotions fairly frequently. I'll check with the marketing people and see what I can do.
I agree with that. But you're only looking at them in terms of the price of the paywalls. That misses the point that the ACM and IEEE are organizations that the members can convince to do otherwise. That is not true with Elsevier.
Show HN: Hand Drawn UI Kit

Wow this looks pretty awesome. As a student who is interested in relating programming to finance, this definitely looks like it takes care of some barriers that were previously in place. I'm extremely excited to look into this.
MBAs and engineers are not mutually exclusive groups. I have an MBA+MSc myself and quite a few people in my MBA class had at least an undergraduate degree in engineering.

In my experience an engineer with 10 years of work experience + 2 years of MBA is much more rounded than an engineer with 12 years of work experience. Given the choice between an engineer or an MBA without an engineering background, I'd pick the engineer though.

I'm not sure there's much of a difference. If the people thought these words without saying them and the scientist could know what the words were, that is mind reading. It doesn't matter much, IMO, where in the brain they are reading them from.
Edit: The numbers are only for the C implementation so they don't add much to the discussion. Sorry for posting too quickly!

I don't know about this library in particular, but there's some numbers available on http://liblzg.bitsnbites.eu/ for a similar library.

(The same author has also made a library for self extracting javascript code: http://crunchme.bitsnbites.eu/. Pretty cool, but probably not that useful outside of the demo scene.)
This is very interesting and disturbing, but I fail to see what this has to do with a lawsuit in Sweden. As far as I am aware these two events are unrelated.

Royal Enfield Fury 500 Review...

Really? I must therefore, be somehow a less than casual music listener - I am perfectly happy with my stereo.
Here in southwestern Europe most people live in apartment buildings. Their design is usually guided by cost concerns, developed and approved by people who never set foot in them. As a result, most of us end up living in apartments which don't really work. Mine has a niche for the washing machine but nowhere to dry the laundry, for instance.

Reading the op's post, I wonder if there's room (excuse the pun) for hackers to disrupt the house construction market with affordable, highly functional units that make their tenants' lives better in a much more tangible way than another photo sharing app.
"Isn't the only thing that is, in the crowds of conservative government or business, more dangerous than a liberty fighter an imprisoned liberty fighter?"

Oh please. A bunch of guys who want to download music and videos for free aren't 'liberty fighters'. You can disagree with copyright, or current implementations of copyright, or whatever, but calling activists of marginal issues like this 'liberty fighters' is devaluating the concept of a true 'liberty fighter', much like 'terrorism' has been devaluated to mean pretty much everything that pisses somebody else off.

I was very impressed with this post until I went to the "opentypography.org" site and tried to read the opening paragraph. The font was a nice size and beautifully laid out. It was also a light grey color that (in my opinion) seriously compromised its readability because of its lack of contrast. Having beautiful typography is a worthy goal; I'm just waiting for every site to have satisfactory readability.

(And, yes, I do know about the Readability bookmarklet. I'm just hoping that some day I won't need it.)
I have 16 as well, but Windows. Maybe that's it?.
trail of angry developers

Hehe. Reminds me of a former client (sorta) who would always wind up working for assholes. Everyone he had worked with turned out to be an asshole would couldn't do what he wanted. Turns out he was the asshole.

It's almost impossible for everyone else to be an asshole. It's like the old poker tip. If you look around the table and can't find the sucker, it's you. If you think everyone is an asshole, you're probably an asshole.
Why Pinterest Is Better Than Facebook For Social Commerce
Forget Networking. How to Be a Connector
The Pirate Bay will reach an age of 9 years. Experiencing raids, espionage and death threats, we're still here. We've been through hell and back and it has made us tougher than ever.

The people running the site has changed during the years. No sane human being would put up with this kind of pressure for 8 years in a row. An insane hobby that takes time from our families, our work (sorry boss) and our studies.

What binds us all together is a strong belief that what we do is good. That it is something we one day can tell our grandchildren about with pride. People from all over the world confirm this. We read testimonials from people in Syria longing for freedom, thanking us for what we provide. We receive more than 100 visits daily from North Korea and we sure know that they need it. If there's something that will bring peace to this world it is the understanding and appreciation of your fellow man. What better way to do that than with this vast library of culture?

With this said, we hear news from our old admins that they have received a verdict in Sweden. Our 3 friends and blood brothers have been sentenced to prison. This might sound worse than it is. Since no one of them no longer lives in Sweden, they won't go to jail. They are as free today as they were yesterday.

But what enrages us to our inner core is that the system, the empire, the governments, are still allowed to try to boss you and us around with one law crazier than the other. Do you think they will stop with SOPA/ACTA/PIPA? They will not. Because you won't stop sharing those files. Because we will not stay down. Because no one can turn back time. Together, we are the iron that hardens with each strike.

In this year of the storm, the winners will build windmills and the losers will raise shelters. So flex your muscles, fellow pirates, and give power to us all! Build more sites! More nets! More protocols! Scream louder than ever and take it to the next level!
I'm representing myself, so it was only the trip to NYC, filing fees, and hiring a processor. The processor could not get this guy, so we filed a notice saying he'd attempted 3 times. I suspect this guy has avoided process servers before, but not sure.

Yes, the googling aspect doesn't help too much. Interestingly, having to remember back to 2008, this same situation happened with someone else they'd contracted. This particular contractor was in tennessee, and was owed ... much less than me. He blogged about it by name, and the NYC guy apparently (per the TN guy's story) went ballistic threatening to sue and such, and said he would pay when the post was taken down. So... it was taken down. Then never paid. The TN guy eventually gave up through these bullying tactics. I'm not going to give up.

It's so far in the past now that, while $9k would be great, I don't need it, and won't settle for half, nor will I settle for any conditions about not blogging about it.

!! is not specific to fish. It is a history feature to get the last command. It's like using '!ec' for getting the last command that starts with 'ec'. Using `!!` is not "getting output of previous command", it is re-executing it and getting that output.

For that alt+. tip, I'd use the special $_ var.

I'm not convinced that they're actually offering the data for free here. Merely the use of the API is now free (You used to have to actually purchase Bloomberg terminals/hardware to use it).

I also did things the opposite way around to most people, starting with the publisher first. I was an organiser for the local Python user group here in Melbourne, and had my name on the wiki while Manning were looking for reviewers. After a couple of reviews, they must've liked my writing style or something, because they asked me to write a book.

I was initially very excited but once you read the details it's the spec and implementation of the API for a realtime market data messaging system that is public and MIT licenced (unlike Bloomberg's competitors) not any actual data sources.

Presumably even if you want to test a new client implementation, you would need to have an account with Bloomberg (the magazine article mentions "beta" markets but I'm guessing that doesn't mean in finance what it means to developers).
I might order this. I'll ask my old lady when she wakes up. She does our budgeting.
For those that don't take the time to read the blog post, the takeaway:

"Today I urge everyone to make sure that the entertainment industry does not profit from them anymore. Stop seeing their movies. Stop listening to their music. Make sure that you find alternative ways to culture. I’ve founded Flattr.com, which allows you to support people that create directly instead of going through the corrupt entertainment industry. Use it in solidarity to the creators, and to your fellow citizen. Or start a competitor. Spread and participate in culture. Remix, reuse, use, abuse. Make sure noone controls your mind. Create new systems and technology that circumvent the corruption. Start a religion. Start your own nation, or buy one. Buy a bus. Crush it to pieces.

Always act with intent and maintain hardline kopimi."

R as a language is highly multi-paradigmatic, while remaining essentially a specialized tool for statistical analysis whose users, often scientists, are not first and foremost programmers. Also, the usefulness of R depends on a huge range of contributed packages, leading to duplication of effort and disparate approaches to the same problems.

Because the language is friendly and intuitive enough on the level of manipulating datasets, and template code is available for all of the popular tests and plot types, you can go very far in R without actually learning to program deeply. Considering all this, it is not surprising that a lot of user code is inelegant, inefficient, etc. Perhaps we should be more tolerant of this, compared to other languages, in light of R's status as a rough 'n ready tool for quick analysis, simulation and prototyping.

Of course, reference and contributed R code should show exemplary style. And R code that is aware of the intricacies of the language - the consequences of lexical scoping with lazy argument evaluation, S3, S4 + Reference classes, environment implementation, the possibilities of 'computing on the language' - can be a thing of beauty. I think it's a wonderful language, and I would like to see many of its features implemented in more general purpose languages for application development.

Often it's just the little things. As a very basic example, I am someone who has always disliked that the assignment operator in so many languages is the mathematical symbol for equality. I'm not entirely happy with prefix syntax for assignments either. While R supports "=" and assign() for assignment, it pleases me no end to use "<-" or "->" (and the corresponding nonlocal "<<-", "->>"), with their implicit directionality and action of a target "getting" a value.
