It feels very polished indeed. It works just fine on Safari, SFX included, although there's no music (dunno if it is supposed to have). A little musical theme per area would be nice.

> This is a fundamental tenet of criminal law. Crimes are taken to be against society, not just against the victim, because it is in the interests of everyone to stop criminality, not just the victim. The state prosecutes, not the person in question.

Yes, I am aware of this distinction. But still, saying "*hole" to someone wouldn't most likely be a crime (whats the proper English term for this), so I was just surprised about where the line is drawn.

> Race-related crimes are taken more seriously here (as opposed to the equivalent crimes without a race-hate component).

Yes, but 56 days of jail is a lot. Different countries, different handling. In Germany, this would most likely lead to a hefty fine and social work hours, which would still be a pain for a first offender.

Offensive? Rude? Sure. But it doesn't seem like anything too out of the ordinary. If they had microphones in bars, they'd arrest millions for similar utterances.
"When that 11 p.m. call came, the decision I'd feared was exactly the one I was being forced to make: Connectrode or a job with Zynga. I got off the phone and called my attorney."

This was the right move, although I wonder why it took until literally the 11th hour to make it. Now I don't know the circumstances so I don't know how long there was between the offer and the required acceptance, but I do know that the first thing you should do when you get such an offer, is take it to your attorney and tell them what you want out of the deal, and see if the agreement/contract gives you that. If not, you have your attorney draft an addendum and you add that. Then its a simple yes/no kind of thing.

Be aware that since most companies have already spent a bunch of legal $$ getting the original contract/offer written they are going to measure their willingness to accept it or negotiate based on how much they want you. If you are just one of the bunch, probably not at all, if you're special in some way, then perhaps some.

Take away is that you should not take it personally if they choose to say no, and it sounds like the author didn't take it personally. Lately at some big companies it seems like it would be best if your brought your attorney with you on the first day to go over the paperwork they ask you to sign, it is getting that complicated.
I used simple in two different ways, sorry about that. DF is simple in graphics only, I completely agree. A more appropriate game to mention is Runescape, but I couldn't think of it at the time.
They should've at least done that coding contest that was initially rumored. At least it would've brought in only developers that might actually use those devices to make apps.
If they feel strongly enough about it to leave a comment then I think it's safe to say it does hinder their enjoyment - in the same way that obviously broken things distract and displeasure in any medium.

The metaphor of "shouting fire in a crowded theatre" was actually used in a Supreme Court ruling in Schenck v. United States, which justified putting a guy in prison for speaking (distributing leaflets) against the military draft. This decision was later overturned by Brandenburg v. Ohio in 1969.

I disagree, he was simply posting comments about a professional athlete on his own twitter account, it's not like he was yelling it on the street or putting up billboards. Anyone can unfollow or even block his twitter, if you were even able to see it in the first place.

It is a freedom of speech issue because we should be allowed to write what we want on our personal social networks. I think it is absurd that mommy government can read your tweets (whats next? blogs, emails?) and give you jail time for the 'naughty' things you say.

I think what bothers me most is that the person he made fun of is a pro-athlete, part of the job is to take abuse from haters and rival fans. European soccer is notoriously rowdy, fans shout any and everything they can from the stands. It's part of the game.

It is not about firepower. The Mexican army and marines have more than enough resources to kill the Cartel leaders. Almost, every time they have met the Mexican military wins. The problem is finding the leaders. It took 10 years for the U.S to kill Osama bin Laden, because it was hard to find him. The cartel leaders do the same, they are always in the run, it is believed that El Chapo lives in the mountains.

So far, they have captured or killed 24 out of the 37 most wanted drug lords.

Race-related crimes are also taken more seriously in the US.

I didn't see anything in the reported tweets that would be considered criminal in the US, though. We'd certainly jail someone for making real threats or inciting a crime, but not for mere racism.

It is not a get rich quick scheme, but Red Hat has amazing cred with the enterprise space and as a result user appreciation M$ can't even come close to touching.

I'd rather have a slow growing (yet growing) open company than a fast burn private enterprise that shrivels up because of the offensive for profit schemata.

Readability. If I'm working in a team, it's generally the number one concern for any language I'm using, but even if it's code that I know nobody else will ever touch, there's a great comfort in knowing that I won't have to spend too much effort figuring out what I was thinking when I'm reading year-old code.
This framework looks nice and very well documented. I'll probably try it out next time I need to write something in PHP. The code bits I've seen in the docs look nearly elegant. At last, PHP's ecosystem starts to look a bit more enjoyable.
I'm sorry, but the "expensive support" argument is a red herring. Is there any example anywhere of an otherwise-successful product (in any realm) whose profitability was impacted by users hacking/modifying/diddling the hardware?

Carriers and platform vendors (but not, in general, hardware manufacturers) don't want users running unauthorized code because they don't want to lose access to revenue streams therein; and by extension that they fear the loss of control means they will lose access to any future revenue streams.

I've had quite a few issues with the gevent_zeromq package not scaling. Especially when you start dealing with over 50 concurrent requests I was seeing issues whereby something would go haywire with gevent_zeromq and it would hang in the ZeroMQ send() function blocking everything else. This was just about 500 clients connected to a single service all making requests as required.
Sounds like a pretty good idea and a good time out.

I've looked at Laravel before, and I'm confused as to why Laravel is so tightly coupled internally. Unlike something like Silex, which uses dependency injection, I can't override the Route class in your application without rewriting a large chunk of the stack or replacing the file.

In addition, the idiom of static calls for everything seems strange. Why was that pattern (or anti-pattern) chosen above other, more OO options?

Fabrice Muamba is a soccer / football player who collapsed on the pitch during a game. He's been big news in the UK.

Liam Stacey posted racist tweets soon after Muamba collapsed.

Here's a Youtube video which claims to be screengrabs of the tweets. (I have no idea if it is or not.)

Huffpo has a screenshot, but it's been blurred to the point of incomprehensibility.

In England most offences are treated more severely if there's a racial motivation.

I post this here because I'm pleased that no-one is saying (as far as I can tell) that Twitter should be responsible for what its users post. No one is calling for Twitter to have more oversight or to control their users. People have been happy for the existing laws to take its course.
For jazz guitar I find teachers with online videos that resonate. Then I manage to contact them and pay for direct Skype chats/lessons. It doesn't have to be a formal college setting IMO.
The link should probably have gone to http://laravel.com/docs instead of the Routing page.

The ORM looks better than PHP ActiveRecord, though it's kind of weird that validations live outside of the database models.
Good grief. It's the first sentence in the Bill of Rights, not merely a "clause in a law". And I don't know the specifics to which you are referring, but the UK does not have such a guarantee of speech rights. There are occasional flame wars to that effect in our share social circle.

So no: there is no way in hell that any US court will order an extradition for a prosecution of a pure act of speech. They occasionally break that rule internally, of course. But no way would any politician allow a foreign court to do it.

The other options are the 20 and 50, which have Adam Smith and Boulton and Watt, respectively.
This is really fantastic. I've passed it along to the all the designers I work with, and will certainly be using some of the resources you reference.

A very small suggestion - when you mention various design resources it would be great to just put parenthetically whether they are free or not. For those of us who are not professionals but like to play around it would save a number of clicks. Thanks for the great presentation, and I love the sticky note format!
yes it was unrevoked :) then unrevoked4ever for s-off.

holding back exploits is always a two edged sword in the walled garden created by carrier subsidies. it's a never-ending balancing act of security concerns and device freedom. capitalism will never provide us with both - a stallman-level open ecosystem and the low prices we pay to be bent over backwards by vendor lock-in.

I would agree with this. Since the Stephen Lawrence case in the UK, there's a high degree of sensitivity in the UK towards police handling of race-hate, and hate crimes in general.

It is also maybe difficult to get across to someone viewing in the US what a major news story Muamba's illness has been in the UK, the universal condemnation of the remarks, and more generally the efforts that have gone into eradicating racism from football in the UK. It is very difficult to divorce this from its societal context.
I guess the thing to bear in mind for this sort of lifestyle advice is: your mileage may vary. While one person experiencing "burn-out" may respond well to powering through it, as in your case, another person feeling "burned out" may follow the same suggestion only to run themselves into the ground doing so.

A close family member of mine tried to power through her feelings of being burnt out, and wound up spending the next two years debilitated by chronic fatigue -- needing lifts to her various therapists because even just walking to the bus stop caused her physical pain, never mind the sensory overload she suffered in noise & crowds.

As such, I just felt it was important to emphasise that "powering through" doesn't work for everyone or every situation. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Ask HN: Digital Agency stuck in 1st gear
Hello,

I have a small profitable digital agency (me and sub-contractors) on the West Coast that I am trying to take to the next level. I'm at a tipping point that I feel could really help the growth of the company but I find myself being a bottle neck in many areas. I'm an engineer and was wondering if it made sense for me to look for a partner that has complimentary skills such as design and business development. Maybe I should look for a partner that has engineering skills such as mine so I can focus on sales and project management? Anyone been in this position before or have experience in growing very small companies that can share what worked for them, etc?

Also, where would be a good place for me to look for potential business partners? I have used craigslist for finding talent but it's so hit and miss. Is there a site that can pair up people that are serious about working together?

Thanks

Uhm, everyone can read tweets and blogs. They are public†.

I’m not sure how I think about this particular verdict (or whether making such comments in pubic should be illegal or not), but I do get very angry when people tell me that racism (or homophobia) is part of the game. No. No it's not. Being racist or homophobe is not being “rowdy”. It’s disgusting and no one should do it. Tradition or any other such nonsense is no valid defense.

Insulting fans and players of other clubs: Ok and expected.

Being racist while doing it: Not ok.

It’s quite simple.

I like the way you've phrased this, so let me give a contrived but quasi-realistic example: I have a network of nodes which calculates and returns some floating point value. I then accumulate those in the arbitrary order in which they come back from in the network. (According to Google) 1111.0000000000001 * 2 * 1111.00000000000001 = 2468642 BUT 1111.0000000000001 * 1111.00000000000001 * .2 = 246864.2. By using floating point we've already decided it's OK to give up some precision, however by applying the commutative property of multiplication now we've also given up determinism.
Why do people hate the free market when it doesn't suit them?
Yes, I'm very happy with the storage I pay for at Google. Hard to beat $5 for 20Gb.

I hope their prices stay that low.

That said, with Dropbox's versioning of files, I can see Dropbox arguing each Gb you have there can really be much many more Gbs than what you seem to pay for.

It will be interesting to see Google's features. What I value most from dropbox is the versioning and the relatively seamless integration into the operating system.

The difference is that the rational response to "Fire!" is to get the hell out of there as fast as possible, which could lead to injuries etc. (Let's not derail into a prisoner's dilemma discussion about how the "real" rational response is for everyone to make an orderly exit). Anyone who partook in a panicked escape from a purported fire would not be held responsible for incidentally trampling other people who were also trying to escape. On the other hand, the rational response to hearing someone "incite racial hatred" is not to go out and start committing crimes against people belonging to that group.
