Meaki is a really good friend to take along on any web surfing trip.

Meaki. Find it. Clip it. Keep it. Share it.
I think Google classifies sites in different buckets. There's the "trusted" sites - the brand names that will only get penalized by their algorithms if they do something very very wrong, and another bucket, where you get less leeway. W3Schools is in the first.

Of course, big brands do get penalized like JCPenny and Forbes, but this often happens when they're called out by the media. Google for the most part, since Panda have said they want to rely more on algorithms rather than on handjobs
Except it doesn't actually have consequences.

2. Svbtle: There are few names I've come across in my career that are as painful as this one to read, spell or pronounce.

Absolutely. I thought that "kiln" was a horrible product name (it still is) but we've set the bar lower with this.
This problem is fairly common. I've runned into many Math Olympiad winners whose accomplishments and technical drive are without par but hesitate to start companies even after having good ideas/plans. The problem with these people (and I should know because I was one of them) is that they're so smart that they rationalize why NOT to start a company. And being so smart they find many things that should go wrong and, in turn, they never start any entrepreneurial endeavor out of fear of failure.

I'll give you a couple of tips to try to make the next "Mini-Bill-Gates" out of this genius:

- Build his confidence by engaging in a basic business with him using a smaller idea (the people often have many).

- Persuade him that business is easier than academia and that he can learn to be a far better businessman than he is a scientist.

- Point to the failures on his industry and show him that even the entrepreneurial failures ended up making more money than the 9to5ers.

- Have him patent his idea(s) as a starting point. Then he'll gain momentum on his own after he has clarified his plans.

- Give him some books about entrepreneurship and just wait it over. Analytical people often learn more thru books than people.

- If you really believe in his idea, join him. Maybe he ends up being your Wozniak.
Using exclusivity to market things is a novel concept?
Is there another alternative out there? I feel like the mozilla developer docs are the only thing that comes to mind offhand.

Well at least he made an argument, all you have is an ad hominem attack on him. And he was defending Samsung's decision so your bias attack goes nowhere. So I guess he wins by default? Yeah let's go with that.
Brogramming and being sexist are two completely different things.

My girlfriend is also in the field of software engineering. Often times, we program together. However, on rare occasions I'll get together with my male friends one evening and indulge on Pizza Pockets and Python. We call it "brogramming" as self-mockery. I'm not being sexist; I'm hanging out with my buddies, and she completely understands that.

I don't like watching football with my male friends, so we code together instead. As long as we keep brogramming outside of work, it should not be thrown in the same basket as sexism... and it's ridiculous to propose that we abolish men wanting to sometimes code with men outside of work.
Social Security isn't a Ponzi scheme; it isn't even an investment scheme. It is a welfare program with a funding model loosely designed to resemble insurance. Your payroll tax today does not entitle you to any promised future benefit beyond "whatever the SSA and Congress decide to pay in the future." Contrast that to a pension plan, which is a defined benefit from the moment you start working.
We're actually using OSQA on the backend which, as you might guess, is open-source.

As an idea of just how much a petabyte is, from their motion:

> Each petabyte is equal to approximately 1,000,000 (one million) gigabytes, or the storage capacity required to store “…about 13.3 years of HD-TV video. About 50 Libraries of Congress.”

I was guessing games and software make up some data. I just had a look at a torrent site. They have 400 pages, with 25 items per page. At roughly 5 GB per item that's still only about 50 terabytes.
Then there's the additional problem of people still choosing WEP encryption despite WPA/WPA2 being available on their router. I mean WEP is better than nothing, but still a security risk.
Wow, this got picked up on HN too.

My roommate wrote this last year as a joke for CMU students. It's a simple script that pulls from a pre selected discrete set.

It has problems in the design department. It appears extremely busy, because your eye is drawn to the top and right hand side of the page, which is completely devoid of any content.

It's not helped by all the social media widgets and RSS links and Large Box Of Male Faces. And flags.

They really need to dump all the irrelevant junk and focus on the content.
I'd argue that he's already established the brand and it will forever stand out as Dustin's -- to his /target/ audience.
One way to set goals is to avoid setting any goal that you think reaching will make you happier than you are right now.

Sound crazy? The idea is that "I'll be happy when"-type goals tend to be the kind that are most often misguided. They are often aimed at pleasing or impressing others or measuring up to external expectations - parents, society, peers, etc.

Conversely, the goals that you just choose because you choose them, tend to be much more rewarding in the end.

With total focus and attention, minimal ego involvement, and no expectation of reward or outcome, the process becomes the reward and happiness is the result.
You answered your own question. MDN has far better docs.
Leaking is a harder problem, I don't see any way around it other than using hot air or having some sort of autonomous in-flight refueling. As for the wind, I vote that it shouldn't matter, as long as it doesn't get stuck in a downdraft that crashes it, or an updraft that brings it above its operational ceiling, then lat/long shouldn't matter too much as long as there's enough of them. This is supposed to be a backup in case TPB gets shut down, some sort of mass backup distribution. On average, the airborne servers should be available once in a while.

But you're right, there's massive problems any persistent airborne presence.
Headline is a bit euphemistic in how it describes a civil rights trampling police state power grab:

> The guidelines will lengthen to five years - from 180 days - the amount of time the center can retain private information about Americans when there is no suspicion that they are tied to terrorism, intelligence officials said.
Cool ethos, but I question how well the 'no ticketing system' goal will scale..
Do you have an example of a search that doesn't currently find good results, but you suspect it would work if Google worked the way it used to?
I don't think anyone would contest that good behavior would be good for society. But, it's not a practical expectation, because the probability of everyone exhibiting good behavior is vanishingly small.
Tizag, which is second in the results, is a pretty good resource.

Essentially, if you don't have a proven business model you're still a start-up. Look at color.com for example, 41M in funding but a very bumpy start. Money and quantity of investors are just small pieces of the pie.
Didn't know Clojure 1.4 was going to have reader macros. That's awesome, one of the last features I was really missing from Common Lisp.
This is more insightful than the article. The problem isn't optimizing for the "community" as the article seems to think. The problem really is that what people think they want and what they actually want are opposed. Facebook faces the same problem.

I think the unfortunate endgame here is legislation that will require what people think they want (e.g. privacy, absolute control) at the expense of some things they actually want (e.g. frictionless social interaction, simplicity).

(To forestall some argument: Yes, I realize that privacy/social interaction and control/simplicity are not always mutually exclusive. However, there are cases where they interfere with each other, which requires compromise.)
Why was this downvoted? Does HN etiquette have a sentence length penalty?
Flags seem to be heavily weighted. A very tiny number of users can easily take an article off the front page, and it doesn't matter if other flag-capable users think it should be there. The flagging mechanism is far too coarse to be treated as if it represents wide community opinion.
Please don't vote this up. People who believe this is a problem are idiots and only adding to the hysteria.

Why can't people be programmers and sociable/fun at the same time? Not everyone is wearing polo shirts and popped collars people.

Some tools have a higher chance of being asymmetric--the expense to defend against being much harder than the expense to attack with.

Obat Herbal Kanker Prostat
Obat Herbal Kanker Prostat

Sebenarnya apa itu kanker prostat ?? Dan obat herbal apakah yang mampu menyembuhkan kanker prostat ??

Kanker prostat sebenarnya hanya menyerang kaum pria saja, sedangkan kaum wanita tidak mungkin terkena kanker prostat. Hal ini karena kelenjar prostat hanya dimiliki oleh kaum pria saja. Kelenjar prostat itu sendiri adalah suatu kelenjar di dalam sistem reproduksi laki-laki yang letaknya tepat di bawah kandung kemih dan di depan rektum atau anus. Ukuran kelenjar prostat sebesar buah kenari dan mengelilingi sebagian dari uretra.

That's exactly what I'm getting at, here. The accusations of this being because there is an ominous police state is ludicrous when we could just put expectations of responsibility in place.
Sorry's for lolly gagged suckers. And I neither forgive nor forget.

Ah--there is now an authtoken that shows up for articles as well now.
Sigh.

That would be a nice explanation if it actually fit the numbers. That subset of human retinas actually turns out to be 75% of the population. As for average vision, 35% of people can see better than 20/20 with no aids, and once glasses/contacts are added this number jumps significantly.

Apple's displays may well be termed true "20/20 displays" but calling them "retina displays" seems disingenuous.
Not all of them, my friend and fellow winner in natural selection!
There's a reason many sidewalks in NYC have sidewalk "sheds" covering them. Balconies usually aren't directly over places where people walk, for a reason. I'm guessing that this is due to laws.

To drop something really dangerous off of a balcony usually requires malice or gross negligence, and that generally goes straight down. The operator of a drone with crappy safety systems might simply have to leave it flying for too long without noticing the fuel gauge is nearing empty.

Once the FCC hashes out things like how drones should act automatically in safe ways such that untrained pilots can't easily kill multiple people with them by being slightly negligent or stupid, then I'm all for civilian drone flight.
Could you elaborate? In my experience the relationship is highly asymmetrical, in that the two communities are talking past each other (disclosure: former academic who is now doing a startup).

(Caricatured) Businesses think most of academics is useless in the sense of not creating profits or anything actionable. They don't have any opinion of its merit in a Platonic sense. They've just done an ROI calculation and said "ROI is zero or negative"

(Caricatured) Academics think that most of business is beneath them because it is not a dignified pursuit for powerful minds. Academics believe business is, in a Platonic sense, worse than academic pursuits.

Obviously, as I indicated, this is a caricature. But I think that business is not interested in academia, whereas academia is "too good for" business.

I'd be interested to hear your take on it though :)
It's Markdown, not a WYSIWYG editor.
Nitpicking, but a lot of pension plans these days are "defined contribution" rather than "defined benefit". You put in whatever amount monthly (the contribution), what you get out depends on how the plan does in the next 40 years.

So that anyone who has JavaScript disabled will be treated like an attacker? No thanks, HN is one of very few sites nowadays that work fine without JavaScript tricks, and I'd much rather PG kept it that way.
Yep, there are some neat ways of emulating the capture, I didn't mean to imply it was impossible - just beyond what workaday programmers like me are willing to do :)
It's funny, at several points while watching that video, I felt that I was looking at a 3D animation -- precisely because virtual cameras aren't constrained by the motion range of physical equipment, so animators sometimes end up keyframing camera trajectories that feel unrealistic.
"can't make that vote"

doesn't work for me either... (I'm logged in & haven't voted yet)

fixed maybe?
I think that's a really good comparison, because it really is a magic trick, isn't it? I think most good heist films are in the sense that the pleasure is in the misdirection: what makes them satisfying to watch is being "in on the game" -- seeing all of the clues arranged in plain sight and watching how the director pulls it off.

So Inception might not be for everyone since it's heavy on narrative and light on character development (we don't see why Cobb changes, he just does), but there's all of this wonderfully meta sleight-of-hand just below the surface as Nolan tells us how he is making the film. Even beyond the symbolism, the very rules he outlines for how to create dreams apply equally well to the film itself (make the plot a paradoxical maze, get the audience lost in it while you plant ideas in their heads, and make the message stick by forming it around a core message of positive emotional catharsis). And yet we are still surprised, or I was at least!

Anyway, hopefully if you see it again you'll like it better next time. I personally think it's hands-down one of the best films in the last decade, and it's a real pity it got shunted off at the Oscars when it should have swept the field.
Is the stereotype of the frat boy, or tradition "bro" offensive? Not as it applies to technology or brogramming, but just as it exists by itself, or as it relates to Greek culture. Does it discourage women from joining Greek organizations, and is therefore discriminatory or offensive?

IMO, it doesn't discourage women from joining Greek organizations, as there is a corresponding Sorority girl stereotype and culture that is completely different from the frat bro stereotype.

To bring this back to the topic, I believe that the brogramming stereotype may only be off-putting to women as there doesn't currently exist a corresponding "programmer girl" stereotype that is completely different from the male-focused ones and is also a stereotype that women might aspire to be like.

As such, I don't think telling people to get rid of there new meme, because its off-putting to women, is going to be very effective (I mean, just look at how long people have been trying to get rid of the nerdy CS major stereotype), but starting your own "coding girl" stereotype just might.

Most project management tools support this feature these days (JIRA, FogBugz). Association between commits and ticket/bugs/features/etc.

I believe some of them even gone further by providing a RELEASE.txt type of output if you follow their preferred way of handling releases/versioning/milestone.
To be clear, we're only against ticketing systems that worsen the experience for the user. Ticketing systems on the backend are great, but having an automated mail system spew at you is a less-than-ideal experience. Email from real humans is what I want as a user of a support system.
I don't think my comment is sigh worthy really, because the article says you "might know it by the name 'lambda' or ... 'anonymous function'. Now "know it by the name" implies equality/equivalence at least to me (two names for the same referent). I guess it was just a poor choice of words, but that was my point to begin with.
It's easy to call it a meaningless interaction, but it's far from meaningless. He's explicitly breaking an implicit trust between himself and the reader. He's saying "Hey reader, I'm watching you."

If you don't think this is a big deal, I invite you to think about a natural extension of this concept: A comment form that sends its entire contents to the server on every keypress.
Optimistically, I think it'd be a great thing if this (or even some portion of it) came to pass.

Two thoughts come to mind:

1) Salman Khan is arguably this already (although he's not a "teacher" in the narrow, institutional sense) - he's managed to educate thousands of students rapidly, and he's raised a significant amount of capital for Khan Academy (not to mention attracted quite a bit of media attention)

2) The best private schools, I suspect, house many potential "superstar" teachers. The problem is that the schools have most of the reputational value and reap almost all of the financial rewards. In a lot of ways, it's an information asymmetry problem; I attended such a school and had what I would imagine to be a very disproportionately high number of superstar teachers, but I didn't know which teachers were superstars until after I had enrolled in the school and taken their courses.
Correct. I used Mercurial with Redmine and you could tag your checkins with special text "closes #39" for example. It's quite a bit more cumbersome than having a filtered query alongside your checkin dialog that you can just tick a checkbox. Especially when your development team has a, let's say, mix of skill levels.
>A whole series of stars have to align just right to pull things off --and they do, if we take the article's hints.

On the difficulty scale of skullduggery and covert action, a fake rape accusation is about as easy as it gets.

>This is really like a "The Globe" article. Full of supposition and innuendo --nothing concrete, but nothing quite provably wrong --just improbable.

It's hardly improbable. People have used sex for blackmail, intelligence gathering, and character assassination for thousands of years.
This is how I interpret it too. It's self-deprecating and ironic. It is a complex reference though, so its not surprising that some people misinterpret it.
Nice straw man you've got there. Make it yourself?

The thing that they are referring to with the term "brogramming" is not a few guys getting together and coding for fun. Nobody is proposing that that feminism police come and kick in your door if more then 3 guys congregate in the same room with laptops and a bowl of Cheetos. So relax, you're safe. Safe enough that you can find out what they're actually upset about.
which leaves us the questions:

1) why is w3school in that list?

2) if they got it because lots of (outdated) sites are linking to them, why do their alternate subdomains get a similar bonus?

3) this whole privileged "authority" bucket crap stinks. it used to be that a really good sub-page on somebody's geocities site could be the no.1 go-to first result for a certain search topic. why? because loads of people that knew it was good would link to it because it was just that good of a comprehensive resource. hearing more and more about this new ranking method makes me wonder whether it's even possible for a small guy to come up top in the results like that. And it's not so much that I feel for this small guy, but rather that I know I'm missing out on a lot of honest good web content that Google simply isn't showing me.

Thanks for the citations.

Btw are you the same uvdiv that writes on capacity factor? Used to read that blog all the time when I was in industry. Always liked the number focus.
All this talk about "Don't do X, it's sexist" or "Don't do Y if it's for Men not People" has a negative focus: what not to do.

And then punishing offenders instead of helping them learn better. People don't learn by punishment. (See: Karl Popper.)

At best, this gets people to hide overt problems. It sweeps problems under the rug without getting rid of them. People will still think sexist thoughts, then add self-censorship on top of that.

Real solutions will come from discussion of better ways of life and thinking: what to do instead. And how to characterize this by what it's about rather than a list of things excluded. Life needs a whitelist more than a blacklist.
So in brief, your theory is that the best way to reduce sexism is to accentuate gender stereotypes?
