I might buy burgers more often than cars, but my total spend on buying cars is rather higher.

I'm also choosier about cars than burgers. I've never inspected 15 burgers and read their delivery history before buying one. And burgers are rather easier to store in bulk, too.

So, yeah, know what you mean but I'm not surprised cars trump fast food.

Password reset tokens are single-use. If the resets are time- and IP- limited then attacking them is awkward (reset a password while the victim's in the same room?)

I don't think "nearly all" is right. I've never worked on a site which mailed out plaintext passwords; and I can't think of a site I regularly use (other than HN) that does it. However, I tend to close accounts if sites mail me plaintext passwords - so my sample's a bit self-selecting.

Thanks for pointing this out. That chapter was a complete eye opener for me. When you're new to not just Node but programming itself - understanding the terms used is in itself a challenge. I'm writing my very first app and i chose to do it in Node. I started to suspect i was going to hit the problems described in this chapter very soon but i had no clue what terms to search or where to look.

At least now i know what control flow actually means, and while i havent understood the examples completely at least its given me enough of a taster to start thinking about it.

Because it discourages people with a valid case and little money from filing the suit in the first place. So now if you think you've been wronged not only do you have to worry about winning you also have to worry about losing.

Nothing is stopping the defending counsel from getting a team of high priced lawyers, verses the 1 you could afford, and stuffing you with the bill of not only your lawyer, but all of theirs.

There is nothing fundamentally wrong with the US civil court system.[1] Just like there isn't a knifing epidemic in the UK. People see these cases in the media and get the idea this is common when it really isn't. This is what people that want to reform the tort system are trying to convince you. It's not the small businesses that have a problem with the current system. It's Macdonalds and ATT that believe they shouldn't have to pay millions in class action suits.

Problem with IDE is that they are often bloated and take lot of space. Also I think I don't use more than half the features they provide. You infact get slower there when you get used to something like Vim/Emacs.

If UNIX gets language-aware tools that allow me to search-replace methods of a particular name (and not other identifiers with the same name), and if Vim gets autocomplete* that understands which packages/libraries/headers/assemblies I'm importing, then I'll seriously consider moving to UNIX as an IDE.

Until then, I fully agree with you.

* To be ahead of the haters: autocomplete isn't a trick for avoiding having to type some extra characters. It's a way for exploring an API you're only vaguely familiar with. I guess you need to be at least somewhat familiar with statically typed languages in a decent IDE to really appreciate what this can do to your productivity. I seldom need to refer to the API docs of libraries I use.

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

It's a legal term to describe somebody getting money through abuse of their authority (e.g. requiring bribes under threat of prosecution) or charging illegal interest rates (e.g. usury). It doesn't mean "setting your prices too high but your customers can leave". Because, if it were extortion, SupportBee wouldn't be able simply to remove the widget and end the problem.
Nice one!

In fact, why limit to just movies? You can take this idea and implement it everywhere. Associating and tagging real-life objects with entertainment and web media. You know, so you can facilitate searching real objects within virtual contexts.

Could be a mind blowing technology. :)
As I read it Gates is defending his statement that buying NeXT was stupid given the known facts at the time the deal was done. He does so by downplaying the NeXT software lineage in Mac OS X, but also by claiming that the real gem they got from NeXT was Steve Jobs, who Amelio couldn't have known would go on to be a great CEO, because he was well known at the time to be a maniac.

It seems like something Gruber would agree with if phrased slightly differently (e.g. "the most important thing Apple got from NeXT was Steve Jobs") so I don't know why he's getting so bent out of shape about a quote from another book which Bill Gates himself immediately questions the truth of in the the Jobs bio.

(And is it just me or is it a stretch to attribute the iPod interface to NeXT? Choosing an item from a list and going to a sublist isn't something I remember them inventing.)

Autocomplete is not tied to statically types languages. For instance, in the Python command line prompt you have autocomplete directly on the live objects.

Very cool concept. I think you'll probably even get some good traction with it. Love the "sync" aspect of it that means everyone in a channel is hearing the same thing.

By the way, the fact that you're giving tools to people who listen to a lot of music on YouTube (most people in younger generations do) is solving a major problem. These people currently have few ways of creating playlists in ways that are intuitive to them and geared for music.
Right. You can also check for someone's profile with his name or email on Twitter (or even just Google them).
Sure. My point is simply that when the iPhone came out, it was widely criticized for not having a keyboard. These days, not having a keyboard is the norm, and those few phones which still have them are really unusual. What was once a target for criticism is now standard, and vice versa.
This looks like it's taken almost directly from 1990sLinuxUser: https://twitter.com/#!/1990slinuxuser.
I can only speculate but my thought would be implementation complexity. Bitmaps work fine for say 99% of interface elements and graphic elements and they are a lot simpler to implement. Vector graphics just aren't a high priority I suppose.I mean, they aren't even natively supported in most operating systems anyway.

As per resource usage, vector graphics actually use less disk space. Rendering requires more CPU than bitmaps, but I doubt it's something Apple couldn't handle with a warning in the documentation.

Need a Job? New Study Says Learn Linux
The automatic refactoring on IDEs are error proof (I'm thinking about eclipse and java here). Saying that you can do a line without a ruler is one thing, but saying your line will be straighter, I really doubt it.
IDEs are important for people that do refactorings. If you don't, fancy IDEs will slow you down.
I don't do refactorings that I'm not sure if they will break my code. It's the same reason I don't code with dinamically typed languages and avoid using reflection.

Isn't that what indie game development is all about? That the developers actually care.

At least that's a lot of why I like indie games. They often do awesome things. They usually don't just develop games to make money, but to make people happy. I think that's a lot about why they are more creative and not just another implementation of the same boring game with better graphics.

That kind of auto completion is very easy to do. The problem is when you have references whose creation site you can't trace statically.
Your argument hinges on the email being unsolicited.

One could argue that the email was not unsolicited, if the email address was obtained during signup and acceptance of the Terms of Service.

Since it is not uncommon for free online services to have Terms of Service which allow the provider to unilaterally change those terms, the argument that an email notifying the user of the change is unsolicited is further weakened.

While I am not suggesting that the alternatives offered are or are not fair or reasonable, the follow up email did its job in getting the service consumer's attention and more importantly action in regards to the matter.
Try cscope and xrefactory for emacs.

cscope is very good for searching through C codebases. You can use this with vim too. It has emacs integration using xcscope, and you can use sequences like C-c s g to quickly jump to a symbol.

xrefactory (though non-free) is very good with C++ navigation and can do refactoring. I have used IntelliSense with VAX and xrefactory is much better. This less known program is something incredible for C++.

"I am not aware of Jobs ever saying something that was actually false"

"and now every phone that isn't an iPhone is some sort of iPhone counterfeit (e.g.: has a touch screen)"

"Because Apple is successful, and because Apple does things its own way, people feel the need to attack Apple. And of course, they attack Jobs."

Now there's a RDF if I've ever seen one.
The app programmers do have to take the blame. Those breaches of privacy have always been possible on desktop PCs but app programmers usually didn’t do them because that would make them a pariah.

I do not know why developers for mobile apps suddenly think that has changed. But they do. That’s certainly a problem and Apple should react to it quickly. The culprit, though, are still the developers who overstepped a pretty clear line.

Seth Roberts actually said something like that about my vitamin D setup, arguing there could be spillover effects to the next day, which is why I spent any time looking at the 'lagged nights' to see if there was any odd behavior in the following nights. His suggestion was to randomize blocks of nights or even weeks, rather than individual days. Of course, it was a bit late to start over and I didn't really feel like running another experiment...

How do you know that the automatic refactorings in your IDE are "error-proof"? I've no experience to suggest otherwise, but it strikes me as a bold claim.

Presumably, you've got a suite of unit tests etc that you are using to verify your code still works post-refactoring. The same test suite would of course work outside of an IDE environment, so I don't think correctness is a valid argument here (but I agree that speed of refactoring is).
You have a point. I'd like to know how to maintain that calm relaxed feeling without going off into the "I just want to take a nap" feeling from alcohol. Having that plotted would be quite interesting.

Name that Ware, February 2012
I agree with Gruber, but I'd like to add that these are not small errors on Walter Isaacson's part. They're huge errors. The biggest errors any biography author could make about Steve Jobs.

Why? Why are we even interested in reading a biography about Steve Jobs to begin with? Because he was a narcissistic asshole? Really? Because that's the part Isaacson nailed. There are plenty of assholes, and that characteristic alone does not make for a best-selling biography. No, the reason anyone is interested in reading Steve Jobs's biography is because of his work.

And yet, Steve's work is the part Isaacson doesn't get. Isaacson falls into the same traps that the media does with regularity; thinking Apple's design obsession is about veneer, thinking it's about marketing, about fooling people, about lying. It's not, that might sell a few products, but it does not sell record quantities of products and achieve top customer satisfaction.

You'd think a person with full access to Steve Jobs and people close to him would be able to at the very least ask a few questions about what he saw that others could not, that lead to the successes of eg. the iPhone. Recall other industry big wigs laughing it off, from RIM to Nokia to Microsoft. The iPhone was a joke to them. What did Steve see that they did not? What was his thought process? What made Steve Jobs so different for him to be able to upset industry after industry? These are things I'd have wanted to know and I can't help feel a bit sad that now we will never know. Because Isaacson squandered the only chance we got.
I really like this. I think that's pretty much my ideal sign-up flow, at least it's the fastest and simplest one I've heard of so far.

The story of my life: Getting screwed over on dollar-to-pound conversions.
Google Chrome team - PLEASE fix the 'language translation' bar...
The Google Chrome 'auto slide down language translation bar' is INFURIATING!

Just when the page has loaded and I am about to click somewhere, the entire page shifts down about 2 centimeters to reveal the translation bar, and I often end up clicking completely the wrong link - which is irritating just once, but when it happens a LOT it is very frustrating.

Suggestions:

- When the bar slides down, do NOT scroll the web page

- The scroll-bar could slide in from somewhere else (left/right hand side)

- The bar could be a floating window that appears where I am probably NOT looking (I'm sure all the web usability data out their could help generate an algorithm for its positioning).

- A much smaller 'Translate' icon/button is overlaid in the top right hand corner, which when pressed reveals the translation options (this is probably my preferred solution)

Also please bear in mind that most people probably dont want to translate EVERY page ALL THE TIME so this feature, although very useful, should be far more discrete.
