Remember this is all situational. I imagine the FBI gets hundreds of tips daily but can't act on all of them without enough mounted evidence to take it seriously. They may have had tips earlier of the attack but they couldn't verify in time.

It always looks worse when you view it in hindsight. If the FBI had enough evidence to work with then they would have done something. Acting early without the evidence they need would have done more damage and not necessarily stopped anything from happening.
Scaling Your Projects Affordably
Then I would hope to hear something about dangerous quoting or difficulties in abstracting things or how it affords some fairly dangerous practices and writing rock-solid shell scripts takes disproportional effort vs. other languages or possibly how it can be slow if you're not careful, though I'd consider that a last-tier objection. But it would be a bit of a bizarre choice. I would expect it only if you were coming out of a sysadmin position transitioning to a developer. (Which I've seen, so I don't mean that as some sort of implicit impossibility.)
For you non-German speakers out there "google ist doof" actually says that Google IS stupid. It doesn't happen with a capital G, though.
Tweaking variables.less is enough to make the site look unique. Someone should write a pseudo-random variables.less generator.
Is it just me or was SimCity a better game back when it was still 2D? Personally I lost interest in the series when they switched to full 3D. I might be willing to pay for an advanced SimCity game in the style of OpenTTD (http://www.openttd.org/en/screenshot/1.0/20101010_panswat_to...) I really like OpenTTD but you don't really have direct control over the city, only the transportation.
First iPad to touch you back?
Thanks for your answer.
I wrote it to show example of my confusion.

Anyhow. I read your words and will code it later tonight. Thanks man.
The article references that it will be in 3D -- not a big deal to today's games, but I remember buying SimCopter because it allowed me to take my SimCity(2000 I think?) city and fly around in it -- including running missions through it. I hope they do something similar with the new build.
SimCity Societies doesn't count. That's like saying "The Sims: Urbz" was a part of the Sims series. Different developers just using the brand, it played more like a really dumbed down version of Civ crossed with Spore.
We know this for a long time. Few years down the road in sub 10nm, we will reach the era where we cant shrink transistor endlessly. The problem with chip stacking on die is how to get rid of the heat passing through each layer.

Stacking in itself has proven to be feasible by the Memory Cube. Where Heat isn't much of a concern.
The sad part of this is that it's so easy to make your Bootstrap site look a little different, even for non-designers.

I'm sure the idea here is "oh, I'm just making a quick MVP, or even a pre-MVP, or a weekend project, and Bootstrap makes the design super easy!" But if you're not going to change it at all, you might as well stick with browser defaults and not include a stylesheet at all - at this point, uncustomized Boostrap looks just as tacky as a site that was black serif text on a white background with blue and purple links.

It's easy to fix, and it's fun. Just take an hour to experiment - your site deserves it. Change up the fonts! Get a nice header font, especially if you're using a big "Hero" badge. Look at the Google Web Font gallery for some inspiration. Get some unique colors - different shades for different elements, build a nice visual hierarchy.

Drop the top nav bar, unless you're doing docs or something that could actually use it. It looks a bit tacky, especially "position: fixed", when it's unnecessary.

Now, on the other hand, you don't have to change everything. Leave the button gradients as they are, the grid system isn't exactly going to stick out, etc. You just need the overall look of your site to be unique - individual elements don't matter as much. http://www.savng.com/ is built with Bootstrap, but you couldn't tell it unless you really were looking (and thus noticed the "Add a deal" button and the pill navs at the bottom).

Just be a bit different. It's easy, and rewarding.
Yes. The US MMORPG companies resisted the Korea/China Free2Play model, where you sell advancement fairly directly for hard currency, for cultural reasons. (My read is that their business guys were totally clueless and their devs had passionate hatred for selling advancement. They wanted you to earn advancement the proper way: by dropping out of school and devoting your life to the game.)

Every gold farmer was competing on price with someone who had INSERT ... INTO ITEMS; available to them and the manual labor was winning.

There were many folks who said that there were solid commercial reasons for this refusal at the time. A lot of them boiled down to "I don't know about those crazy Asians but sophisticated American consumers don't want to do this thing that we're spending thousands of man-hours a month unsuccessfully trying to prevent Americans from doing." Those have been pretty decisively proven wrong since a) when AAA US MMORPGs experiment with item sales they make serious bank and b) the Free2Play model empirically has worked very, very well in the US, especially when you compare the revenue per user and in aggregate against the HUGE premium embedded in development costs of the AAA subscription RPGs.

Oh, also, Zynga ROFLstomped the entire industry. (10~50% of the revenues of the most successful MMORPGs for 2~3% of the development costs of the median AAA MMORPG... and they did it more times in a three year period than there have been successful AAA MMORPGs in history.)
Hasn't chip stacking been the future of computers for 10 years? Especially of SoC solutions.
Imagine if 90% of candidates were actually welders who acquainted themselves with carpentry by flipping through a book on butterfly joints. It is far more efficient to ask a "nano" question to get done with an interview faster than to laboriously struggle through them trying to present a fine welding job as a woodwork.
Facebook and Twitter are just the start
To clear some things up:

The reason you can not represent anyone other than yourself in court without passing the BAR examine is because the defendant might not be properly represented and cause problems such as mistrial or open up loads of appeals. Why? The bar examine is used to ensure that an attorney knows and understands the legal rules and procedures. That's it. If an attorney fails to object to a motion [on behalf of their client], fails to file a motion [on behalf of their client], or fails to respond to a claim or motion [on behalf of their client] then their client isn't being properly represented. Why can YOU represent YOURSELF? Because if you fail any of those things, well, it's your own fault. What is the number one topic we are failing to teach in our education system? BASIC [foundational] law and legal issues.
The documentation explicitly says that every call is blocking unless stated otherwise.

As always it depends on your user-base. I'm sure DueProps does attract early adopters (which you yourself mention) however my eCommerce is still 40-60% IE users; simply because I do a lot of B2B transactions and some IT departments -still- use Internet Explorer and some self-employed businesses are not tech-savvy enough to make the change off of IE. It's all relative. But your stats are interesting all the same.

Talent Management Software Trap to Avoid
The following blog post is an excerpt from Kick-Ass Talent Management, my 62-page ebook on how to deploy performance management in any organization. Click to download the full version of our introduction to Talent Management ebook.
This one is a biggie. The software technology you choose can make or break your entire performance management process. So whatever you do –don’t buy legacy software. In plain English, it sucks! The software you purchase needs to reflect the growing needs of your organization, not what was happening 15 years ago. The nineties are over, why buy a legacy software application that was designed in 1999 or earlier!

Make sure you purchase something entirely web-based. Not only is it more convenient, it just makes sense. Why would you purchase something that you could only use from one location/portal? The answer is, you wouldn’t. This is 2012, folks!
I wouldn't be too surprised if the details from all of this get pulled into MAME/MESS. It will take some rewriting though as I believe BSNES is written using a number of C++ features (I seem to recall it even needing some C++11 stuff from when I last played with the source). The CPU cores themselves I'd imagine would be fairly easy to port over but I'm not sure how tied in everything is for timing and everything else in there.

I guess the brogrammers are already invading. So where do the hackers go now? By hackers, I mean people who write C or Lispcode, not web 3.0 Rails crap; people who wouldn't touch hg with a ten-foot pole because they understand that a database is a brokenabstraction for storing source code; people whose concept ofdistributed X doesn't include a massive, single point of failure; people who get the magic of )))))))) and laugh when they read that whatever has macros; people who can write proper, non-sensationalised English.

This site has jumped the shark. I mean for crying out loud, some guy posted the other day that using git without a central repo was a "neat hack." What? Distributed git is a "hack"? Get me the hell out of here.
In my experience, what you wrote is true. But the insane simcities that this guy built, http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=N..., didn't have any streets.
It's called a reboot, they use it to start the series over with new design principles and modern technology. Calling it SimCity 5 would imply that it was successor tos SimCity 4 or 3 or 2000 etc... when it might not be.

To take an existing example, Star Trek (2009) is not a sequel or a prequel to Star Trek (1966-2008). It's a new piece of work rendering the old line as complete.

I use these extensively, love them. (The API is really hard at first though.)
I disagree. Fizzbuzz is actually a different beast in that it exploits the generality that people who can't think coherently in complex architectures usually can't think coherently in simple architectures either. It's also why I love it when an interviewee has never heard of fizzbuzz before; it means that I'll get a 100% true test of their ability to think in basic algorithms (i.e. they aren't regurgitating something committed to short term memory just before the interview - although that's usually easy to spot anyway).

Nano-questions, on the other hand, I don't see as useful at all. I spent 5 years writing enterprise Java applications, and I couldn't tell you what package List and File are in without looking them up. I've also been away from Java for a few years and have been using other languages, so I couldn't tell you for sure if the "inheritance" keyword is colon, parenthesis, "extends", "subclass", "specializes", or whatever. So in this case I'd get 0 out of 3, thus weeding out a proven, experienced, enterprise Java architect. Even if I had known the answers, I'd consider it a major red flag that such questions were even asked, as it would bring into question the interviewer's ability to think creatively (and no creative person wants an uncreative boss).
> If you needed someone to build your house, which method would you choose?

Both. The first method provides better protection against talented bullshitters, the second provides better insight into the candidate's work.

There is nothing wrong with examining the level of details somebody has at their fingertips. If they don't have the specific detail immediately handy, watching (and perhaps collaborating) with the person to find detail-type info gives you insight into whether they have a suitable user-interface when you need information from them.

Health Datapalooza: Calling all Food & Tech Innovators to the
Bootstrap gives us a sane, standard look and feel for the web, which is a good thing. The design community generally doesn't like the idea of standards because they are a creative community, and there is no more damning phrase in the creative communities of the modern era than "unoriginal". But unoriginal is exactly what most people want with most of their web applications: they want to know how to work the things instinctively and not learn another UI for this or that task.

As a small example: with bootstrap, buttons look the same, so users instinctively recognize them without additional mental effort. Developers can focus on developing applications that are functional and usable, rather than tweaking CSS to make things "look right".

I think bootstrap, and the non-coercive standardization of web applications it is fostering, is one of the most important developments of 2011-2012.

I do think means there will be less need for straight-up aesthetic designers, with UX and information architecture becoming more important.

Eve focuses much more (industry leading) on in-game economics as a gameplay aspect , but not as exceptionally much on converting game money to real money. Second Life has a rather sophisticated and officially supported currency exchange with out-of -game currency (dollars)
I have fooled around with both, but I am probably not competent to speak on the matter. The UDK is just the UDK, the free Unity is missing features that the paid version has. Unity has more ease of use features.
Yes, but every time they release an update you have to go to that page again and redownload the APK. You can't just open up the market and click "Update all".

And that's even if you hear about the updates. I've never seen any email from them after I've purchased a game telling me about new updates; you have to hear about that stuff through Twitter.
I agree that async APIs are almost mandatory in the context of servers (since you don't want to block them while you run I/O commands).

But for shell scripts, not so much. In fact, async would just introduce unnecessary complexity, in particular a nested callback hell as most shell scripts are basically sequences of I/O commands (promises, etc would mitigate the problem somewhat, but again at the expense of another layer of complexity).

That being said... if there's enough demand to use these commands within web servers, adding callback support should be easy. Contributions are welcome! :)
I thought that was part of what Frasier is getting at, fragmentation gets you both coming and going.

Both ICS and iOS 5 were released at about the same time, iOS 5 is now the majority OS for iOS devices. On the other hand, ICS is available on about minuscule percentage of Android devices.

Software written for ICS won't work on the vast majority of devices and there is little incentive to write for ICS (which will keep hurting Android tablets).

Developers can start taking advantage of iOS 5 APIs today and incentive is growing. At this rate, iOS 6 will be the majority OS on iOS before ICS gets that title for Android.

Ask HN: Review my startup, n3rds
http://n3rds.com/

A friend and I were recently laid off and started job hunting. After a couple days of looking on all the job boards, we both had complaints with them.

1) Searching for jobs by skills was often flawed. If someone posted a link that ended with .php, it would show up even though the job had nothing to do with someone developing using php.
2) When we'd find a job we liked, we often didn't know if our expectations for salaries would meet theirs. This led to wasted conversations and time.
3) It can be time consuming searching all the job boards. Yes, there are aggregators, but we didn't want to miss a job if an aggregator missed that particular job board.

On top of that, we had some other thoughts about job searching in general:

1) If you look for a job while employed, you run the risk of exposing your search to your current employer. Either by updating your resume on LinkedIn (or other job site) or talking to the wrong recruiter (who might have a good relationship with your current employer).
2) While employed, it'd be nice to know what's available in the market without spending effort. Unfortunately, job boards require on-going effort of searching, at least weekly. Instead, we wanted to have jobs matching our skills and other requirements sent to us as they became available.

So we built n3rds so that users set up their location and radius, if they want remote, skills, and salary. The user's info is kept private. When a recruiter posts a job, we ask a similar set of questions. We then match users to jobs and notify the user if there's a match. If a user is interested in the position, they click a button to make their information available to the recruiter so they can contact you.

We're interested in any feedback or questions. Site design, marketing, features, bugs, or new ideas.
Rather than bothering with encrypted /tmp I believe lots of people are advocating using tmpfs with /tmp. This way data stays in ram and only possibly goes to swap. In the worst case you have to read the data from the disk again, in the best case it's right there in ram and reads back fast. I've heard a number of programs that make lots of small files in /tmp will benefit from this, but ideally the disk cache would suffice.

This still means that an encrypted swap is a good idea. Either that or don't even have it as a separate partition, since some point in linux 2.6 series of kernels it got to be very efficient at using a file as swap. This means that you've only got one set of keys to manage, and it's much easier to setup (in fact it's likely supported by nearly every distro that supports encrypted root filesystems out of the box).

I personally like to name my swap files /WIN386.SWP

Why value uniqueness over simplicity, cleanliness, and learn-ability? When the Mac came out, the primary selling point of the interface was that every application could share a common way of doing things and present it's capabilities to the user.

Bootstrap provides some of this for web applications. I'm not trying to keep my users from being "bored"; I'm trying to give them a simple approachable application where they can get stuff done. A gratuitous re-design serves only the ego of the designer.
What is broken here is surely package management in general?

I'd like to use one tool. If you don't want files system wide - then perhaps that should be an option in the package management system.

It would seem silly and wasteful to have dozens and dozens of the same packages languishing on the same computer. So part of me thinks this needs to be handled at the filesystem level.

Or there should be a way for package managers to speak to each other. How about throwing something like apt-get and dpkg out and replacing it with something better - that can handle Gems, Python libraries, etc?

Sweet, this means my Atlassian-loving company might finally start using a web-based chat room system. For some reason our teams love email, wiki, IMs, but won't even countenance the benefit of realtime chat.
I applaud your effort. Regex is a valuable skill (really, language) which you will use across languages and programs as it gives you access to an efficient and pretty general method for scanning and extracting things from text. And if you study fundamentals of computer science (like the Chomsky hierarchy) you will also find that regular expressions are important there too.
opps, fixed.

Thanks
If you claim you do not see a difference between an editor and an IDE I believe you are just trolling. Not sure if I should feed you. One is a general and a language agnostic tool and promote skills that are largely transferable across languages and platforms whereas the other is a language specific and a limited tool that is likely to be absent for new languages.
Assuming you've got the bandwidth, you could "watch" more than one video at a time.
I think the point that an uncustomized Bootstrap looking just as tacky as a plain html site is only true for people who hang around on HN or similar sites and so see many different sites using Bootstrap. For your average Joe on the internet, a Bootstrap-ped site will look much more professional and less tacky than a plain html site. So depending on your target audience, there might not be much motivation to spend any time customizing your site.
I think the TL;DR; is that he was a huge part of the economy on 3 SWG servers, and when they changed the game to make being a Jedi easy, he stopped playing. And when he stopped playing, he ended up accelerating the downfall of Galaxies as a whole since he was such a big factor on those 3 servers.
This is not really about "Android vs Apple" or Apple fanboys trying to push a certain view on others. What it's about is carriers and cell phone manufacturers being used to shipping phones with a single OS release, and never having to provide any updates at all (except for serious bugs).

The only thing special about Apples software update policy is that it's more similar to how things are done in the PC industry, where you get OS updates as long as your hardware supports the new operating systems (although Apple is quicker in discontinuing iOS devices, something I don't like).

I can't think of a single reason why delaying, or not shipping a software release for a capable (but discontinued) handset is _good_ for the customer. I can think of many examples of why it is bad.

If your theory is right and a year from now I'll be able to upgrade an Android 4.x phone to be feature equivalent with Android 5 through app downloads, then great, why would anyone really complain about that?

An example of the PC and mobile worlds colliding: When Nokia discontinued the 770 with the Tablet OS 2007 release, do you think the outraged 770 owners were rabid Apple fanboys? No, they were PC users that expected the expensive toy they just bought to be supported for more than a year and two months with software updates.
So if the data is only present in the free space of the disk, sfill (in the secure-delete package in Ubuntu) should remove this data right?

Might be a good idea to set up a once-a-week cronjob that does this in any case.
/all day long I have been thinking this but never expressing it because it's clear it would trigger a swarm of disagreement which is all valid but also so not the point, but I'm so glad someone else wrote it so thanks/

So thank you sir. I will bury my Bootstrap dislike deep, deep down where noone can detect it. At least I get to vent my jQuery dislike nowadays.
