No, why?

The server will send down a hash function, a salt and its version of a password hash. Use something like bcrypt or PBKF2, reduce their output by folding or by funneling through something like CRC to mitigate the risk of brute-forcing. Alternatively, keep salt/hash on the server side and make the client ajax the current hash from the server.
In the next incarnation of the site, it will.
It would be really interesting if you could do technical facilities documentation as well (hospitals, datacenters, satellite earth stations, etc.). There, it's not just the as built configuration, but subsequent modifications -- and it's not just the people building it who need access, but various auditors, operations staff and engineers, equipment vendors, etc.
I like how the favicon matches the selected color. Open the site on multiple tabs and you can spot at a glance which tab has which palette.
Node.js is just as cross-platform as any of those.

I wasn't sure how to verify that I recognized my keys at first. To save anyone else a bit of time googling, you want to run "ssh-keygen -lf your_key.pub" against your local copy of the key to generate the fingerprint and compare that to what GitHub shows you.
Heavily depends of user-base.

My G/A account includes a consumer-focused site getting millions of UVs monthly, IE accounting for 49% market share, of which only 80% are IE8/9.

On the other hand my blog just had 20K visitors from HN, 65% on Chrome.
Apple Announces A Retina-Equipped iPad (It’s Just Called iPad)
That is probably a motivation for a lot of open-source projects. People start with some code written for yourself, and then release it. The good thing about this is that the code is likely to solve whatever problem the person cared about.
Even better would be a site that automatically found arbitrage in your favor. Instant win!

If a private firm failed to keep passengers safe, the motive for doing so would be perceived as capitalist greed. The CEO of such a firm would be paid extremely well, and failures at the airport would be viewed as the result of cost cutting measures, poor working conditions for employees, cronyism, etc.

The privacy issue is interesting, but I don't think it has much to do with the initial creation of the TSA. The main goal at the time the TSA was created was to create the appearance that leaders had things under control and to prevent disruptions caused by knee-jerk reactions (spiking market prices, etc.). In reality these would not likely have lasted long w/o government intervention, but they are the kinds of things that planners fear most.
Saying that they'd likely be more powerful on average than the '45 ones is a huge understatement. Fat Man was 20 kt, every Trident II missile can carry 12 475 kt warheads. Also, if you distribute nuclear explosions across the world, it's much different than having one meganuke in terms of its effect. Meganukes are very inefficient with their power due to the diameter of an explosive sphere relating to the cubic root of the power. I think the original commenter is way off in their proclamation that we couldn't nuke ourselves to extinction.
Via @ArsInfiniteLoop:

The new iPad display is 2048x1536 pixels. If you do the math, that's over 3.1 million total pixels.

New iPad also has 44% greater color saturation

The iPad 2 used the A5 chip, but we needed even more horsepower, so we've created the A5X chip

In the new iPad, this is a great iSight camera. 5MP backside illuminated sensor, 5 element lens, hybrid IR filter, Apple ISP

iPad camera has auto exposure, auto-focus, auto face detection, auto exposure lock and autofocus lock too.

... and it does still have a home button

Hi avibryant,
According to our initial benchmark (http://pangool.net/benchmark.html), secondary sorting in Cascading is slow (http://bit.ly/wTKOxo), showing a 243% performance overhead compared to an efficient implementation in MapReduce. The implementation in MapReduce has a lot of lines (http://bit.ly/yYGnGe) whereas Pangool's implementation is quite simple (http://bit.ly/x9U7Yj). A common application of secondary sort is calculating moving averages, for instance.

REAMDE (http://www.amazon.com/Reamde-Novel-Neal-Stephenson/dp/006197...) by Neal Stephenson is an interesting, fictional take on what might happen if an MMORPG embraced the farmers.

It's also a really quick read for a Stephenson book.
Actually, I do believe this. I am not going to make the age old argument "real programmers program by toggling there OS into the front panel of the computer". However, I am going to argue good programmers can program in such an environment.

A good programmer can put together a system with nothing but a stack of note cards, a pencil and a good eraser.

Since good programmers can work in really archaic and restrictive environments should they? Of course not! You should give them the best tools for the job, they will work quicker. However, that doesn't mean they can't be amazingly productive with primitive tools (see the 1970s for instance).
The solution is to render games at 1024x768, the same resolution as the ipad 2. Scaling it up to 2048x1536 is trivial if you just treat every pixel as four pixels on the display and will look just as good/bad as the ipad 2 does.

Can't believe this article got upvoted, there is no information about anything in it.

TLDR; iPad 3 has a resolution of 2048x1536.
FYI, this has now been confirmed at the Apple event. Seems the GPU has been bumped up to a quad-core (from dual) to cope with the extra pixels.
SimCity 4 still brings my current laptop to its knees. If it wasn't for the inevitable graphics glitches (which may in fact be my video card overheating, who knows), I would still be playing it regularly.
Unfortunately yes.

Apps are, often, better when they are written with "no code".
It's real, they show each of your keys and ask to approve each one.
If the author really wants this on disk, would application-level encryption of the files it is writing to /tmp be overkill?

The standard trick with encrypted swap on Linux is to pull an encryption key out of /dev/urandom on boot and never store it anywhere. I suspect libVTE could do something similar without a lot of code, though it would be a bit strange for a terminal emulator to depend on crypto libraries.
Is it an exponential function or a simoid?
> More troubling is the idea that frankly we've had the technology to build sports cars in our homes for decades and decades now. It's called buying a lathe, an arc welder, a mill, a forge. Despite the availability--cheap!

I would definitely recommend Startup Chile. There is a 'sole founders' group within Startup Chile that meets weekly. I got into Startup Chile as a solo founder. Since then I have brought on two partners. I am having a great experience in the program.
Websites and projects that are meant to be used by non-techies probably wouldn't regard this as an issue... of course since we are techies we notice at the first hit of the eye, but normal people? my guess is that it will take much a bigger part of the web using bootstrap and a lot of time for them to notice and start to care....

also, I really suck at design, I f*cking hate it, it takes me weeks to produce something acceptable even with bootstrap...what am I going to do?

I'm not really convinced that upscaling will look "really bad" with algorithms optimized for high resolutions. Besides, consumers have already been conditioned to accept upscaling artifacts with the current gen gaming consoles.

The Anatomy of an Anonymous Attack
One of our first adopters was Lawrence Berkeley Lab's facilities management team. PlanGrid is for anyone who looks any type of drawings at all, which includes configuration diagrams and technical maintenance data.
The real problem is that web design is about 100x harder than it should be. I'm not saying there shouldn't be room for the artists to outshine the rest of us, but there's no excuse for why placing elements with css is so hard. Different browsers shouldn't have different names and syntax for the same features. The cascade makes it difficult to mix templates without adjusting a million different things.

Bootstrap solves most of this. That is why it's becoming prevalent. The only way this trend will stop is a high-quality cross-browser WYSIWYG editor.
That is a false dichotomy--just because somebody is interested in different languages does not mean they are "some ADD kid" and, moreover, somebody exclusively working 9-5 with no particular passion to programming is probably not "somebody who can get the job done" especially if the job is non-trivial. And if you're hiring for a trivial position, optimizing your interview process is probably a waste of time anyhow.
What led to the demise of games like this? More time-intensive, slow, thinking games; simulations like these have always held interest for a lot of people. I certainly didn't become less willing to buy them.
Combat flight simulators are another thing that seems to have disappeared.

I'm far more excited by this then by another mindless space-marine-kills-aliens game.
Launch Conference Livestream
Ask HN: Do Startups Want Design Intern?
I've been a designer for many years now and have always had a deep interest in startups and the passionate teams that they tend to consist of. This summer, I'm looking for an internship at a promising startup where I can contribute with my skills in UI/UX and just overall design sense.

Are there startups, preferably in the Bay Area, that are looking for anyone with this skillset? Or is it something that is not really needed?

Actually its the latter ... I do a lot of python, ruby and jquery (almost exclusively), so I really can't even remember the last time I had to do a for loop.

I've done, C, C++, C# & Java so the syntax wasn't unfamiliar to me at all, and I probably could have recalled it if I had taken 2 minutes to do it, I just didn't think it would be a big deal to ask so I could get on with the code.
I've done some business in EVE Online for a while, and it's as much fun as you describe, but a somewhat more mature market. Any competent EVE trader would have squeezed into your market quite easily, and even have a choice of two methods.

The "Chinese gold farmer" way is to be in the spaceport all the time and keep outbidding you minimal amounts. At the end of the month, your resource stocks would be bought at the same price, and their quantities proportional to the relative time amounts each of you has spent in the spaceport. So they can sell at the same price as you, or even lower if they value their time less and would accept less profit.

The "lazy" way (my favorite) requires very little capital and very little time. The idea is to seriously outbid you but only offer to buy small quantities. You will only be able to match this bidding war up to a limit, since you're paying very inflated prices and buying a hundred times more than I do. (If you miscalculate, you'll end up with a huge stock of finished products that you can only sell profitably at ten times the previous price, and people will simply not buy.) Once you've reached this limit, you have to allow me into the market, and I'm buying and selling at pretty much the same prices as you do.
How to completely, utterly destroy an employee's work life
I actually think it is a very good analogy. I too can remember that the Apple Human Interface Guidelines were a pretty radical idea at the time. The web will benefit from a standardized approach in exactly the same way.

There are lots of sites that look worse than the nice, clean bootstrap look. I like it when I'm using a bootstrap site. If the visual design of a site is an important feature of your site, then by all means go your own way. But if not, use the standard, and make it easy on your users.

Edit: Also, Dave is far from an Apple fanboy. He has a far more complicated relationship with Apple. But I'm thinking that was just a little personal dig, not based on much of anything.

I mean, I can get annoyed looking at this bootstrap list too, I also believe the least that should be done is try to custom it a little so it doesn't look just like another bootstrap page... but again, webdesigning is a PAINFUL(and I mean it) thing for me to do...

i'm a designer and a developer and i'm using bootstrap in my latest project as a base UI. i figured, i'm introducing some big new ideas that are hard enough to explain to my users, why make them discover how a new menu or form works? so i used bootstrap for all my typical interactions and it's saving me weeks of work i would have spent rolling my own custom framework.

and it doesn't look anything like bootstrap.
Anonymous Attacks Panda Security After LulzSec Arrests
If you look at the number quoted though there appears to be another trend, and that is the age cuts off at 35. I have noticed over the years that that number is moving upwards and I think there is a reason, 35 is almost exactly the age of individuals who grew up with the internet, they where in high-school at the time that it started to make it's way out of the universities and I think that is the bigger issue than the actual age. When you start to move past the 35-38 year range you start to encounter people that came to the internet later in life than these individuals. While everyone below that age mark are part of the generation that grew up connected. I believe that that upper bound will somewhat travel with that 35-38 year old generation.

Work at a Startup 2012
I've seen this many times. Mainly due to burnout.

Some of the more fast paced "big consultancies" in the UK tend to do this to their staff (I'd name names but I'd get sued) resulting in resentment towards employment. They literally beat every last drop of energy and life out of their staff every day, threaten their jobs constantly with outsourcing and then chuck them on the street when they get wise or ask questions (usually protecting themselves by threatening to sue them if they didn't sign a legal wavier). One outfit I had the misfortunate of contracting some work for informally described their team leads as "whipmasters".

We had a couple of guys on from one of these outfits and they're doing well "in rehab" with us.

Graphite was the biggest changes I had to adjust to when I moved to my current job and will be the biggest thing I push on all future jobs.

We have stupid bash scripts that run on cron every minute. The scripts collect all sorts of system data. Things like load average, iowait, data in, data out.

They also collect all sorts of info about our custom network daemon. They take all of this info and using netcat, echo and sometimes statsd shove this all into graphite.

Having all of this info gives us several advantages. When we notice an issue we are able to track it back in time. We notice an increase in CPU usage at the same time as a sharp increase in data in? Our daemon preformed a bunch of "foo" actions at the same time, well obviously something about "foo" action is killing the box.

In addition to historical data we also can do A/B testing from an operations perspective. Take a couple of boxes split into two groups, tune sysctl "y" to x value on all of group A boxes. Turn up the same load and see how sysctl "y" affects performance of the box.

Because graphite has such a simple api for importing data we can easily expand our scripts push them to the boxes and we have new sources of data. Little fuss.
It'll work that way in the next rev of the site.
You will have to pry that framework from my cold, dead fingers. Most web projects if not all would benefit from one thing or another that is shared amongst major solid frameworks. It's silly discriminate against projects that use it, and most of all, down right foolish.

I use the framework as a concise, distilled version of good CSS practices and I find it hard to believe that somebody launches a project that looks like a kitchen sink example.

I guess this answers my questions about how long this vulnerability existed (a long time) and whether or not they could verify no other accounts were compromised (no).
Well, there seems to be a name for every situation and condition these days. The problem is, with the coming unemployment due to increased automation and robotics, people may need actual diagnosable reasons to gain living subsidies from the powers that be so they don't starve. The world is changing and we will need to adapt somehow, and the idea of everyone working is going to slowly come to an end; I don't think Soylent Greens is really an option.
Shucks, I have my first holiday in 9 months, and it has to coincide with his talk...
I think the author is making a flawed argument. OS widgets and the use of Bootstrap across the web are very different.

OS widgets provide a user familiar with those elements hints and clues about how to use a program. A menu is a menu is a menu no matter the application. Bootstrap provides a very similar framework.

The problem is that we don't interact with public facing websites in the same way we interact with websites in the same way as desktop applications. The level of complexity tends to be very different and design is far more important for a website.

I can understand using Bootstrap for an admin interface; it provides that same recognizable framework for a user. For a public facing website, however, I think using Bootstrap is almost abhorrent. Whenever I see that very distinct black navigation bar across the top I have an urge to leave a website.

I understand that you can of course modify Bootstrap but to be honest I think the design choices are simply wrong for most sites. Bootstrap is great for web applications but for a blog... seriously?

Anyway, enough ranting. I actually really like Bootstrap and I'm using it currently but I know I would not use it for my own personal blog or public facing site.

How so?

Are the prices attractive? What about coverage? Does it really matter for most users? LTE is certainly nice to have, but it doesn’t seem like a very practical or useful feature to me.
Interesting article.

Shame he did not cover or mention directly the highly popular .EU domain which has no particularly strong requirements.

While individual EU countries may fall under the NATO/ECHELON agreements under varying degrees of importance (Germany for example it is likely highly irrelevant), internet infrastructure tend to be well-protected at the EU level.

Apple announces new iPad with 3.1M-pixel Retina Display, 4G LTE, voice dictation
Homeopaths and acupuncturists don't even do normal medical procedures; that's kind of the point. If you are doing normal medical procedures, you should be licensed and regulated to make sure you know what the hell you're doing. The freedom to have an unlicensed witch doctor perform open heart surgery on you isn't an essential human right; it's not even something a sane and informed person would want to do. It's a non-issue.

IPad 3....Live Coverage ...Apple Event
This is the type of article that should really be nominated for deletion from Wikipedia. Someone made this phrase up less than two years ago and tossed in a couple smart-looking citations to news articles and books that do not actually ever use the words "work aversion disorder" to make it sound credible. It belongs in Urban Dictionary at best.

I don't know what the motivation for submitting this to HN was, but if there's a discussion to be had on feeling averse to working, I don't think this wiki page adds anything to it.
> Anyone with half a brain should mine some avian meat and then offer to sell it for (pinky to lower lip) 1 billion dollars (or whatever). The market cornerer will either pay the asking price or relinquish some control of the market.

What prevented this from happening is that supplying a months worth of buffs required a lot of avian meat. And avian meat was a pain in the arse to harvest - you had to roam all over the map looking for the changing spawn points and if I remember correctly, you would only have maybe 20 pieces of the resource for every hour hunting - it was seriously time consuming. So I never encountered a hunter who was selling bulk amounts of avian meat - they all sold in dribs and drabs and so had no negotiating power with me. The small amounts they potentially could individually withheld would have almost no impact to my manufacturing -the only way to affect me was if they ganged up, which would have required substantial coordination.

I was also very dynamic with my pricing - the amount I set was based on what other vendors offered. With my huge bankroll (thanks to first mover advantage), I trumped any bid and scared other doctors away - they simply knew they couldn't compete. As soon as they gave up, I reduced my prices.
