Two questions

1) How did you build this? Some pre-made system or not?

2) Is there a list of more specific communities like this? Examples: entrepreneurship only, selling only, consulting only.

But no matter how small the zone is, the point where the plane is to make a 90/180/270 degree turn is only in one zone. That means the ATC responsible for that zone would see it. Are normal planes really doing 90 degree turns?

[Edit] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socrates#Trial_and_death

"But perhaps the most historically accurate of Socrates' offenses to the city was his position as a social and moral critic. [...] insofar as he irritated some people with considerations of justice and the pursuit of goodness. His attempts to improve the Athenians' sense of justice may have been the source of his execution."

Editing and proofreading your research paper
A good research needs to be accompanied by excellent and effective writing. An effective writing must be free of errors and spelling mistakes and should be structured in an appropriate manner. Therefore, editing and proofreading are very significant processes in research. The research cannot be considered to be completed unless proper editing and proofreading of the research paper are carried out.
A researcher must ensure that there is no ambiguity in the research and must make sure that the documented work is complete and concise. Irrelevant and lengthy sentences must be avoided.
The researcher must ensure that his writing is reliable and steady. In order to maintain consistency, he should not diverge from the accepted style.
The researcher must ensure that sentences are not in a clutter and see to it that his point is conveyed in a proper manner. Clarity is very must important in order to bring out effective and rational results.
The Summary, Introduction, Methodology, Discussion, Conclusion should have appropriate structure, which is very crucial in editing and proofreading.
Apart from ensuring that the research work is free of flaws and mistakes, the research also needs to make it sure that the content is logical and relevant to the research.
Students and researchers always make the mistake of doing editing and proofreading at the last minute before the submission of the research. If they are unable to proceed with the work due to time constraint, they seek out an editor in a hasty manner. There is nothing wrong in seeking an editor but seeking a professional editor is always better.

What about one common prefix in addition to vendor prefixes?

Then you could write "-x-border-radius: 2px" in the majority of times where the property was compatible, but you'd still be able to write "-webkit-border-radius: 2px 4px; -moz-border-radius: 4px 2px" where it's implemented differently.
Yes, most likely after releasing Windows and Mac versions. May be after a version for iPad. It depends on the feedback.
~60 minutes before my departure

60 minutes? Wow. Ryanair here in Europe does a 25 minute turn around. Often you're through the boarding gate and queueing up before the inbound flight has even landed.
"if someone wants to track you, they will find a way."

true, but the key thing is how much effort does it take. If NSA-like resources are needed, well then you are pretty damn safe. But if some guy can find you in two minutes by using just Google, that's something you might want to check.
Just 5 more hours and we tear down ACTA
I found what also works are the Etymotic headsets, if you are the type of person that doesn't mind the in-ear style headsets. During takeoff and landing, I leave the plug dangling from my hand and obviously visible so the flight attendants don't bother me about turning off my $music_player. One less thing to keep track of while traveling, and fills multiple purposes.

DVT is no joke on these marathon flights, glad you pointed it out to others in this thread.

Bipartisan just means whatever is in the middle of the window of acceptable discourse, which then shrinks further into nothing, until they're no longer debating what policy should be, but merely who should implement it.
There's always custdev.com, the "cliff notes" edition, which I liked. But it covers the first chapters.

But deep down, I'm looking for step by step instructions. Standing on the shoulders of giants, someone will eventually write it.
The main argument I have against piracy is this...

If you create something (movie, song, naked pictures of your wife, whatever), you do not have to show it to other people. You don't have to sell it. You don't have to give it away. If you want, you can keep it just for yourself and not show it to anyone.

Or, if you choose to you could allow other people to see it if they give you something that you want for it. You don't have to allow others to see/use it. And if they don't want to give you what you want for it they are not forced to take part in this transaction.

If you ask for a million dollars in exchange for watching your film, I can either pay you a million dollars and watch your film, or not pay a million dollars and not watch your film, simple. If you say that you want twenty dollars for your song, and I am only allowed to play that on my zune, and not on my iPod, then, again, I have a choice, I can pay you twenty dollars and take your song and use it according to your rules, or not. No one is forcing me to buy your song, and you have no obligation to let me have it.

What I can't do is say "A million dollars is too much, I know I'll just download and watch the movie anyway". I also cannot say, "I hate DRM so, I'll just bit-torrent the song so I can use on my iPod". And of course I cannot say "I really want to see your wife naked, but you won't show me your photos, I'll just take a copy off your computer anyway". If I don't like the terms of use, then I just shouldn't use it.

This is how the free market works, when you realise that no one is buying your film, because you're asking too much for it, you can lower the price and hope more people buy it. When you realise that no one is buying your music because they want to be able to play it on all their devices - not just their zune, you can sell it without DRM in the hope that more people will buy it. But, you don't have to, and if you don't I can continue not buying it for as long as I want - but I can not just say, "I don't like your terms of use, I'll just pirate it anyway".
Looks good - I've been looking for something exactly like this, to the point where I'd been considering writing it myself. Nice work!

Show HN: Coincrate.com - Love video games? Share it with the world
Looks useful! Two things:

1) How do I make several levels of headers (#, ##, ###, ####)? This is what I use markdown for the most - nesting texts in clearly visible subsections. In the menu I can only see only one header, and in the screenshot I see two (==== and ---).

2) Rendering the PDF side-by-side would be useful. If I understood correctly one currently has to compile to PDF manually, which sort of defeats the purpose of a GUI app.
I'd much rather like to see the new high-capacity cells hit the market - apparently, 4000 mAh cells have been pretty much ready for half a decade, yet mass production will only start in a few years.

Right now, 3100 mAh is the most you can get out of a 18650 cell, and those are only made by Panasonic. Most laptop manufacturers use 2600 or 2800 mAh 18650 cells - obviously, there's not enough demand to accelerate the release of higher capacity batteries (which will also cost more).

Then again, Apple might very well be waiting for solid state cells to become ready for production...

As for smartphones, the RAZR Maxx is great with its 20+ hours life, hopefully other manufacturers will pick up on the trend.

"Never write specs"? I have to say, that some of the rhetoric from Mozilla seems a bit over the top. Mozilla doesn't seem to have had a problem dumping all kinds of Javascript and CSS features into Firefox over the years not all of it making it into draft spec proposals.

And how could NaCL have been done any better? It's been publicly published for years prior to the first shipping implementation. If Mozilla was interested, they could have put in requests for how they'd like to see NaCl and Pepper changed to better fit a Firefox implementation, or even a counter-proposal for running untrusted native code. But I've seen no such proposals, instead, just a blanket refusal to even consider it. I think there's a philosophical difference such that Mozilla isn't really interested in anything that isn't JS based, so suggesting that bringing NaCL to the working groups would have changed anything is somewhat disingenuous. It's kind of like hoping that Republicans would contribute to a National Single Payer healthcare plan design if it had been brought to the right committee.

It's a shame really, because proprietary native mobile platforms are hurting the web, and consumers don't really care, they just want fast apps which don't kill their battery or phone performance. Something like NaCL for mobile could preserve the DOM, CSS, browser security model, and other good things about the web, but replace JS with something much more performant for games, and this would go a long way to hedging risk against the proprietary native platforms. I'll take portal NaCl C-code calling into browser APIs and WebGL any day over Obj-C code calling into Cocoa that can only be installed through an app-store.

If the Web is to be around for decades more, the religion over programming languages needs to give way to polyglotism.

As on Dart, the language was released at version 0.1. The grammar isn't all that complex, the library is minimalist. It came with a early spec and source. It is not a "fully developed" specification. No one designs language grammars by committee. Languages are highly personal and opinionated. Usually one or two people design the overall structure of the language privately, and then release an initial spec, and it evolves from there.

When Mozilla developed Rust, the first time most of the web heard of it was Graydon dumping a gigantic codebomb into GitHub and it being covered on Lambda-the-Ultimate.

Which I think is perfectly find, but let's try and be a little level headed and fair, and not arrogantly think that what Mozilla does is uniquely better than what others are doing.

(I speak only for myself and I do not work on Dart, NaCl, nor Chrome)

I agree that this post is way over the top. But I don't think it tries to oppose startups with VC funding to any and all startups without VC funding, in general. It's arguing (as usual) that the way to go is bootstrapping, and being profitable from the start.

So in order to refute it, one needs to find out how many startups, that are profitable from the start, end up failing. Probably not many, but I don't know.

Also, for the author(s) of this post, "fail" includes being acquired and then integrated and "sunsetted" — which, depending on your point of view may or may not count as "failure". It's certainly not a failure from the founders' perspective; for the users', it's at least a setback.
Is that practical, though? My eyes start to hurt from a 1680x1050 15.4 inch display, and I simply can't imagine working with a Full HD screen (maybe just for photo/video, but not for everyday work), unless it's 17+ inches in size...

Risk Assurance: A Blog Post to Fear
The idea was to make Markdown accessible for those who don't want to learn the syntax.

But switching code block style (Cmd+3 on Mac or Ctrl+3 on Windows) on and off maintains inline syntax. So you can type raw Markdown into a code block and then switch it into plain text paragraph with formatting.
The problem in the software industry isn't a lack of best practices, it's a lack of practitioners fully aware of the best practices. News isn't so much a function of when something happened as when someone heard about it first.

1) Tab/Shift+Tab change the level of header.

2) Yeah, it's "not implemented yet" :) Actually, there are many ways to publish from Markdown, including services like scriptogr.am. So I'm not sure that compiling PDF is the most important feature.
I don't think you'll see a bay capable of supporting an optical drive -- they're gone, and few people care -- but I'd still expect the next generation MacBook Pro 15" to augment a cooked-on SSD with space for a user-fitted 2.5 inch HDD. And the 17" model should have space for TWO user-fitted 2.5 inch drives, as befits the model's target market.

I'd also expect a next-gen MacBook Pro to have multiple Thunderbolt ports for connecting a multitude of monitors, storage and pro peripherals.
Posing questions rhetorically doesn't work, ...

Well it works for me, even if there's only time to think: Now that's an interesting question, what would be the answer to that?
What doesn't benefit the Web platform is being tossed aside because of superior native development frameworks. That's a far bigger danger than someone forgetting to add a '-moz-' prefixed CSS properly.

A number of people seem to have a somewhat extremely optimistic view that they're going to make Javascript competitive in performance and memory use compared to native on mobile platforms. There's just no evidence that it's going to happen anytime soon. It's just not even close, despite how magical emscripten or Mandreel might seem.

With more and more browsing activity shifting to mobile, and with the majority apps being entertainment/multimedia/games, holding steadfast to the idea that there are not benefits to alternate VMs is more of a dangerous than transient breakage of pages.

Yes, the prefixes are a problem, but the Web needs to evolve fast to keep up. A period of incompatibility and fragmentation can be tolerated. It's happened before, chaos and disequilibrium followed by periods relative calm.

I'm more worried about stagnation, and a future where the web gives way more to the client-server internet days, with everyone running OS specific native apps that read and store data behind walled-garden non-HTTP clouds.
Wow, that's impressive. Works really well.
I'm planning to open source most of the parsing/formatting/API code. Making everything open source would not make it sustainable. Sorry.

I also sell my services by the day, having screwed around with 'projects' for far too long. You need customer trust in order to do this, and that's often hard won, but until a customer sees your time as valuable, expect them to unload lots of extra unpaid-for work (ie: poorly thought out features) on to you.

Pity. Just what I was looking for.
However, Javascript as the intermediate language does not follow. It may be true that a source-level intermediate representation has benefits, but the idea that the best intermediate representation is JS doesn't follow.

For example, late-binding, boxing/heap-numbers, etc all serve to make it extremely difficult to maximize startup performance, or heap overhead. It also makes the VMs much more complex to deal with optimizing such languages. TypedArrays don't really fix the problem, they just introduce others. For example, by forcing your to implement your own manual memory management everywhere. This is somewhat problematic if you're compiling a language with GC into TypedArray heavy code, since there's no finalizers in JS or Reference queues, you can't really do automatic release if a regular heap object holds into pseudo-objects in manually allocated memory.

The problem is particularly acute on mobile devices which are very resource constrained.

Free Device Drivers for Windows XP - Nugget of Life for your Devices
When most people own Windows 7 today, there still are such people, who need to use Windows XP just to use the legacy applications or some other such things that won't work the same on newer platform, or because they love working on this platform, but then what appears difficult is to find free device drivers for Windows XP.
After a bit of debate - this is actually a good idea, I'll make sure it's on the pypy website.
The socratic method has an awful failure mode: you can't teach facts, and you can't teach anything derived from empiric data.

The periodic table of the elements has a lovely underlying theory based on the physical properties of electron orbitals. This cannot be elicited from students who don't know it.

Asking socratic questions about the effects of drugs on human bodies is useless.

Don't trust a socratic-trained engineer to build your skyscraper, or your pizza oven.
How would your opinion change if Dart was just a cross-compiler to JS like GWT or CoffeeScript?

And if you have no problem with that, then why is there a problem with a Dart VM in Chrome? All it means is that potentially, Chrome apps will startup faster or run a little faster.

However, this is not really much difference than V8 vs other JS VMs. There was a time when V8 was way way faster than other JS VMs, so the same speed differential existed anyway.

There's a difference between "doesn't run" and "runs, but faster"
Maybe something like this? Just a few minutes in developer tools.

I was looking for an ultrabook and was disappointed at the alternatives. I ended up going with a MacBook Air, even though I was trying to avoid it.

However, Ubuntu supports it almost perfectly. I actually can't think of anything that doesn't work, except perhaps that sleep woke up on me once while the lid was closed (a pretty bad bug). Everything works fine.

Paintbox.es, an open source web app for saving + sharing colors
This is another reason I so wish cyanogenmod / google / apple will hurry up and 1) Create a guest account for my phone 2) make it possible to disable all background data sharing /synching save for a whitelist. This would both conserve battery and it would be so much easier to decide what applications gets acces to what. E.g. my antivirus wants finegrained location data, but works fine with coarse... (I should really uninstall that antivirus program).
