skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
Great name, but I kind of wish folks would recognize that visualization is more than just overlaying geodata on a map.

That's an important and huge step, and one that used to cost real bucks to do on a computer... but this project seems to be built around geo data as the foundation of your data, and that becomes limiting when analyzing data that has nothing to do with geography.

Given the parent group driving this development (http://www.oicweave.org/), it's not surprising that it's so geo focused. That what they built it for. But "GWEAVE" doesn't roll off the tongue as nicely.

The interface is fun and lots of cool elements here... but I look forward to more demos and features that examine data independent of geo. Given that the code is GPL, perhaps folks will help add more non-geo approaches and integrate it with R, etc.
Counterexample: the Debian bug of 2008 lingered in the code base for years before being detected, but the fix was still a one-liner (as was the original bug).
It’s their right to block. It’s my right to protest. Simple as that.

Just because someone has a right to do something doesn’t mean you can’t criticize her or him for doing it.

(This mistake is made so often. Frequently after someone is criticized some idiot will point to freedom of speech or similar such nonsense. That’s not how it works. That’s pretty much the opposite of freedom of speech, some sort of bizarro freedom of speech. Freedom of speech – or any other freedom – does not imply freedom from criticism. Just because it’s legal doesn’t mean it’s right. Oh, and also, just because I think it’s not right doesn’t mean I want to make it illegal.)
It also installs "gcc-4.2", which is actually the gcc-4.2 driver.
If you haven't heard of Travis CI before, it's a continuous integration service for open source* software. They currently support ruby, erlang, php, clojure, and node, with more languages in the pipeline... and more already working sans first-class support.

To abuse a phrase, this is the opposite of selling sugar water. It's set to revolutionize the already high quality OSS scene.

* - a planned feature is to support private, non-OSS projects

EDIT: moar languages than I thought!
Is it possible to integrate this with our own E-commerce plattform?
In early versions of OSX (I think till Panther?) tcsh was even the default shell. They should revert to that again if they are shipping bash support only as a legacy kind of thing.

Edit:
But I guess shells are boring business. According to Wikipedia Bash 4.0 brought support for "associative arrays". shrug Those who care about that are able to get the most recent version by their own.

What's the up side for broadcom though?
I'm curious, how are you handling the time-zone issue? For example, MTV runs an East and West Cost feed. Usually those are just time-shifted mirror images (but not always). Fox often runs eight or more national feeds breaking the country into arbitrary sections (think NFL Sunday). Are you planning to scatter your set-top boxes in different regions of the country?
> Apple could give a rat's ass about the developer community, and why should they? We represent a vanishingly small fraction of the total consumer space and we are orders of magnitude more demanding.

This is a popular refrain, but I don't think it holds up well at all under scrutiny:

1. By your logic, who should care about developers? Only open source projects or ISVs? And yet everyone does, a lot.

2. iOS platform developers buy Macs (and often multiple iOS devices) to develop iOS apps.

3. Xcode, warts and all, is basically free. Same with all of the OS X and iOS developer documentation. Have you priced Visual Studio or an MSDN subscription lately?

4. No one who feels this way has had Quinn the Eskimo answer a Core OS or Networking question for them in the Apple Dev Forums. If you don't care about developers, you don't pay folks like him to dispense wisdom to a bunch of yahoos who each paid $99/year.
Ask HN: How do you configure your software?
Nice this is what I have been looking for on our ecommerce site. I like that you can incentivize sharing.
Canonical is not a stranger to idiotic business decisions.(See also Unity and their subsequent losing of ground to Mint)

That, combined with their utter inability to take community feedback into account, really makes me wonder whenever they do something like this. It's like traditional logic doesn't apply.
This is awesome. I was hoping to get something like this for 'save to home screen'. Any idea if this will work with a large favicon running on a mobile device?
But you have to explain why it’s not appropriate. You have to give reasons, you know.

They are not so shocking frankly.

They were addressing the common concerns Americans have on Syrian situation and answers to those.
The Economist, like the New Yorker and Atlantic, are not un-biased newspapers. They pitch themselves as analysis. It's good to get un-biased data but egotistical to presume that you will extract all the relevance from it a priori. What separates good analysis from the bad is if the underlying data and methodology are presented; The Economist does a good job at this.

Regarding abuse of identity data, the US has a SSN identifying everyone. And when you immigrate or naturalise you provide fingerprints.

Privacy has an important place, but it does need to be balanced against things. Things like starving, uneducated, and abused populations.
It doesn't matter. The US just has one vote on the UN's WIPO http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Intellectual_Property_Org.... I've no idea how you get 185 member states to decide that 50 years after death is a good minimum length for copyright. Imagine the good they could do if they agreed on anything useful!
Britain has the worst breastfeeding rates in Europe, USA aren't doing much better either. In short, this is due to the introduction of commercially available formula milk, and breastfeeding becoming "unfashionable". As you probably know, breastmilk is the very best thing that you can give a baby, it has a ridiculous amount of benefits.

In order for more women to choose to breastfeeding over formula feeding it needs to become normalised again. In order to normalise breastfeeding people have to be exposed to it more so that it is not weird and so that they are not shocked by it. It should not be a private thing, it should be a sociable thing like it is in many other countries around the world.

They don't remove pictures of women flashing all of their cleavage or prancing around in pants with their hands over their boobs. THAT is offensive (and slightly slutty). Breastfeeding is definetely not.

Breastfeeders are angry because they feel that by banning images of breastfeeding women (most of which don't even feature nipples) facebook is communicating the wrong moral messages. As facebook has such a large impact on society, it is very important that they play their part in helping to promote breastfeeding, and not making it seem an offensive & disgusting thing that should be censored. If facebook was run by mums and not adolescent boys then this wouldn't be happening.

You're right, but it means the project will (probably) become less stable. One less full time individual probably means less testing and might require you to use older packages or build them yourself.
Great idea. It could definitely gain traction in other niche markets as well, including SaaS (i.e. retweet for a discounted initial monthly fee). All the best of luck!
Kubuntu is not Ubuntu. It is a complete distro with KDE as the default desktop. In the future, KDE support will still be in Ubuntu, as much as it is in Opensuse. Opensuse allows you to pick which desktop to use [1]. OpenSuse is not a "KDE distro."

Rubbish. "Barring other factors" is a qualification big enough to drive a tractor trailer through, filled with millions of counter-examples on both sides. Many fathers love their mate for life or at least decades. Many others abandon her before the child is born. Whatever explains this variance is not biology.

What evidence point to 4 years as normative? What evidence suggests that a 4-year-old doesn't need a father? "OK, kid, I see you're walking and making sentences. Here's a knife and some flint. Good luck."

There are multiple different definitions of the word "free". Deal with it. Pretending there's only one definition of the word "free" and that all other ones are wrong is just stupid flamebait.
I've been using trello, works well and it could fit this model easily.
And actually, increasingly, a distro you wouldn't have expected on that list only a few years ago given Red Hat's usually Gnome-focussed efforts: Fedora. Their KDE team is highly competent and hard-working, and has produced a very strong KDE CD for some time now.

Folks from the KDE team have also popped up on the distro's board of directors and engineering committes, which are voted offices. And Red Hat has several paid employees working on KDE/Qt stuff at least part-time.

Fans of KDE definitely shouldn't dismiss Fedora automatically anymore, especially if they otherwise have a strong appetite for Fedora's usual virtues (closeness to upstream, package freshness). It's a really good KDE binary distro these days.

(Disclaimer: I'm a KDE developer, but KDE of course remains highly committed to distro neutrality, i.e. the above are my personal views as a Fedora user, not as a representative of KDE. And I'm not involved with Fedora development.)
Or over changing the formula of Coca-Cola. When you feel that the free market does not provide you with an acceptable substitute, it's in your interest to make your problem known. With any luck, you thereby make it in the corporation's interest to change. If not, perhaps you encourage the market to provide an alternative.

If they had just silently stopped using Facebook, there's no chance that any change they wanted would occur. That would be idiotic.
But GPL for web software is like BSD for desktop software. If you only are running it on a server and not distributing it, you don't have to release your modifications to GPL code. That's why the AGPL exists (but it is unfortunately unpopular).
Charming fellows and a good looking operation, really hoping this thrives, it deserves to.
This is how my company currently operates. It works well for us, BUT we do have some tools/methods to help us along the way. One of which is staging and production trees.

We are using perforce, so cross folder integrations are very simple with branch specs.

We'll have one folder named 'staging' where all development happens. Yes, the label isn't quite right. We can deploy this code to a 'staging' environment and test. When we're happy, we can integrate into the production branch and deploy.

These integrations are always one way; they go from staging -> production only. There are no conflicts to deal with. We also get the benefit of cherry picking updates to push in an emergency.
Ok. What happens when the 3rd party service is acquired and shuts down, or shuts down due to lack of funds? I've got several machines that have been running non-stop for 3-5 years, and I've had several services I've relied on that have shutdown after being acquired, so there seems to be a need for a backup solution either way. People that derive their income from providing 3rd party services seem to have a bias in favor of 3rd party services for everything.

Edit: Why am I not surprised to learn that you work for a hosting provider? I'm not trying to pick on you, I've just noticed a trend that makes little sense to me.

Maybe agreements like ACTA aren't just the result of copyright lobbying, but also groupthink?
I was hoping you could clarify what you consider to be a reasonable amount of time.
Because that's a false dichotomy. Corporations will always prefer BSD code to GPL code. But there are many examples of corporations contributing GPL code to GPL projects. If the same projects were BSD licensed, then the corporation might have just forked them and their improvements would then not have been made widely available.
Ah! How optimistic :)

You are 100% correct.

The thing you have to realize is that at this price point we're pretty much at Broadcom's mercy. Comparable chips are not sold as complete boards for $25-$35. They're doing raspberrypi a favor by even selling them at much lower volume than they'd normally sell them.

Aside from Raspberry Pi, No person or company who is not a Broadcom partner shipping millions per year can even buy this chip.
The future of CSS vendor prefixes
I'm surprised no one mentioned that this is, conceptually, prototype-based OO.

Personally, in C++, I have found that mixins solve this problem well: http://www.cs.umass.edu/~yannis/practical-fmtd.pdf

And for everyone who balks at multiple inheritance, I present to you some of my own code, which uses mixins and multiple inheritance: https://github.com/scotts/cellgen/blob/master/src/xformers.h... Probably baroque to an outsider, but it solved my problem well, and enabled me to have a maintainable code base that I could also play around with when testing new ideas.
We've got wrinkles all over our bodies. I can't imagine it's all that difficult to hack together something that can read a toe-print, or a wrist-print.

I think the bigger problem is if someone who's already enrolled suffers an eye or hand injury.
Given the switch from PowerPC to Intel its unsurprising that Apple is keeping itself options open. I suspect that if Intel doesn't deliver the power consumption/performance ratio that Apple needs they would happily switch to a processor that does.

Given that at one point NeXTStep supported 4 different processor architectures (Motorola, Intel, Sparc, HP) the underlying system is probably one of the "easier" operating systems to port to new processor architectures.
How Cloud Redefines Our Most Important Business Technology Relationships
A long running branch is usually a feature branch that is worked on over a long period of time. Just committing everything to master is asking for trouble.
Good news. It should be noted that Ubuntu has included this fix since their distro version 3.0.0-13, and other distros may have backported the fix, too. But now it's in mainline.
That was written by Jonathan Riddell, who worked on Kubuntu. I am fairly certain he is not trash-talking KDE and I am also fairly certain that Ubuntu is not using him as a mouthpiece to trash SUSE.

So it isn't necessary to get very hot toward Ubuntu on account of it. Maybe Riddell misspoke. I seriously doubt anyone is trying to be mean to SUSE, let alone all of Ubuntu doing so through people who were working on Kubuntu.

I think it's just gratuitous to blame "mindless Ubuntu fanboyism and intolerance of alternatives" for this sort of illusory perceived slight. I like your posts, but I don't see why you would get this angry. Ubuntu is also an alternative, so clearly is SUSE, if you think Jonathan Riddell is picking on SUSE you can just ignore him.
Add to that that Jonathan Riddell (the sole Kubuntu developer Canonical was funding, which they now cancelled, which is what this announcement is about) had been off the Kubuntu rotation for about one release cycle in the recent past already, working on Bzr instead. The Kubuntu folks still managed to make their release just fine.
The list comprehension syntax can be a bit confusing at first, especially if they're nested.

When I first saw them I just asked jashkenas in #coffeescript and then it made sense. Later I came to appreciate them in Python. Coincidentally I learned Ruby-style string interpolation from CoffeeScript before trying Ruby.

Scenario A:

I make my code BSD. A company eagerly writes some proprietary improvements, and then goes bankrupt. Its code is a dead end.

Scenario B:

I make my code GPL. A company grudgingly writes some GPLed improvements, and then goes bankrupt. The community benefits from their improvements.

To clarify, we measured about 8000 Ohms of resistance through the head, using our electrodes. For some reason, our measurement was off. I'm assuming it's a problem with the electrodes. To fix this issue, we'd need constant monitoring and adjustable resistance. In no way was I planning on running 6mA through my brain.
Clever idea. I'll implement that using a text file and dropbox (specially with Epistle on Android). Every time that I try Evernote on OS X it feels alien.
Oh Jesus we've already been through this. I sincerely hope the LibreOffice team wisens up and looks at other group's efforts to try and do the same.

Mozilla Bespin became Mozilla Skywriter became "fuck it, we shouldn't have used HTML5 Canvas as a text editor" and merged with Ace, which uses plain old divs and not Canvas. It's not glamorous. But it's sane. (http://ace.ajax.org)

The Canvas spec has an entire section devoted to why making a complex text editor rendered in Canvas is a bad idea:

* Mouse placement of the caret has to be reimplemented.

* Keyboard movement of the caret has to be reimplemented (possibly across lines, for multiline text input).

* Scrolling of the text field has to be implemented (horizontally for long lines, vertically for multiline input).

* Native features such as copy-and-paste have to be reimplemented.

* Native features such as spell-checking have to be reimplemented.

* Native features such as drag-and-drop have to be reimplemented.

* Native features such as page-wide text search have to be reimplemented.

* Native features specific to the user, for example custom text services, have to be reimplemented.

* This is close to impossible since each user might have different services installed, and there
is an unbounded set of possible such services.

* Bidirectional text editing has to be reimplemented.

* For multiline text editing, line wrapping has to be implemented for all relevant languages.

* Text selection has to be reimplemented.

* Dragging of bidirectional text selections has to be reimplemented.

* Platform-native keyboard shortcuts have to be reimplemented.

* Platform-native input method editors (IMEs) have to be reimplemented.

* Undo and redo functionality has to be reimplemented.

* Accessibility features such as magnification following the caret or selection have to be reimplemented.
there is still no reason that updates cant be applied like every other piece of software.

Wow, when you count 123456 too, it is a big chunk of the office. Not to mention the others that had 12345 as part of their password.

I wonder if this is an IT policy gone bad. Perhaps the guy who set it up used 12345 as the default and, of course, nobody ever changed it.

I learned a long time ago to use a somewhat complex password when setting up new accounts, because otherwise 3 years later, they will be using the insecure temp password you gave them.
