This whole demanding to see somebody's facebook account thing - do they want to read my old love letters too? The last letter from my dearly departed Father? My online dating profile? What about my now unused university email account?
One big pet peeve from math class: circular functions are taught in "Trigonometry" while imaginary numbers and vectors are lumped together with basic "Calculus" meaning Euler's formula seems like terrifying voodoo for years after it is first described!
Someone please bring Starflight back. Hell, they could simply use the exact story of the original and its sequel and have two great games.

Well provided they don't make it first person :P

There are so many great games from the eighties. Many of them had to have original elements and wit because they were so constrained by the machines of that day.
For example: in the K-12 sector, I heard schools are getting 90% discounts. Ninety percent discounts.....

If I recall correctly, according to the director of IT of a large, local non-profit, they get access to the full suite of enterprise Microsoft products for something on the range of $1000 per year.

At that price point, saying 'open source can save you money' is meaningless, because they have already made investments in Microsoft IT expertise.

Looks. That's all. Pie Charts are terrible for comparing anything because of the way the brain understands and interprets shapes, length, and size as a quantity.

Someone came up with pie-charts a while back, others thought it looked cool, and it unfortunately stuck around.

The only thing you seem to be saying you want is to be free from the fear of unintended negative consequences of code signing.

It's tautological that nobody can both provide something and freedom from the fear of the unintended consequences of that same thing simultaneously.

On the other hand, since the only way to judge the trustworthiness of code is to know its provenance, I don't see how we can avoid some kind of signing becoming ubiquitous.

To me that means that free software must eventually develop a decentralized code signing scheme.
> Its as simple as "There are certain questions you can't ask during job interviews". Its been illegal to ask these questions for 20 years, and nearly no one disputes this.

It's not that simple. Facebook is not the only way a prospective employer could find out those details. For example, some jobs do thorough background checks (imagine, for a security position) that no one doubts the legality of, and you could answer many of those same questions that way too. If the prospective employer learns that info, they're simply expected to disregard it while making their hiring decision, the same as they'd be expected to if they learned that info from your PUBLIC facebook page (which again no one can doubt is legal to check).

Stealing facebook login details does expose the company to greater liability claims in this regard, but merely uncovering those protected questions is not illegal.

Instead I suggest approaching Facebook login theft as a case of tortious interference, and an invasion of privacy both for the stolen account owner and anyone on their friends list. Employment discrimination will both be hard to prove, and should be settled on a case by case basis rather than legislated out of existence.
There's actually a place slightly beyond "able to do it on paper" at which you grok the maths so well that you can apply it in non-obvious situations without any conscious effort. I'm not sure how to get there in general, but I've noticed that I'm more likely to be able to do this for subjects that I learned in proof-heavy classes.
Microsoft itself is very LGBT friendly, but that doesn't mean every employee is. Because of this, HR puts policies into place to try and prevent employees from making employment decisions based on that type of criteria.

I wonder if the name "capabilities" was intentionally chosen to be confused with the "object capability" security model, which is a completely different beast.

Object capabilities would bring reasonable security to the OS, so we wouldn't have to use clumsy VM's as a security model. Unfortunately, the mistake of the 1960's (ACL-based security) stuck to this day, and object-capabilities were barely put to use.

design, like engineering is about tradeoffs, and flourishes in the presence of constraints. unlike engineering it is often about the cross-domain trade offs.

it's a nice love note to design, written by someone who has learned more css than information design.

the pie charts are terrible (i'm totally sure he interviewed dieter rams and asked him to put a numerical quantity on the importance of his principles).

I can't see a way anyone can interpret the data accurately from the charts he's written.

the pie charts are misleading, the bar charts use two different proportions of responses (engineers vs 'biz'). the axes aren't labeled properly (is it % is it number of responses).
Honest Question - if you learn to be happy and content with what you have, what incentive is there to improve, to learn, to grow? It appears to me that everything worthwhile is done with the aim of improving our lives, and so if we're happy and content, why bother?

Well, first of all, I didn't "distort your poll" because I didn't actually choose other. In addition to hacker news users hating the FSF, we apparently are also immune to sarcasm and humor.

Second, I'm sorry, I didn't know that polls on Hacker News were so serious and scientific. Do you police rules like "pick only one" with words like, "Come on guys! I'm trying to run a scientific poll here and you're ruining it!"?

Please.

Azul CTO: Oracle is doing the right thing with Java
Java is the most successful development platform of all time, and is currently used by more than 17 percent of developers. However there is concern within the developer community that the Java platform is ageing, with some suggesting that Java could become the next Cobol.

According to Gil Tene, CTO and co-founder of Azul Systems, however, this is not the case. While he admits that the Java Community Process (JCP) has been stagnant in standardisation over the last five years, activity has picked up in recent month, and work is being done to standardise not just the current version of Java, but also future iterations of the platform.

Tene also believes that Oracle is doing the right thing with Java, and claims it has helped to make the JPC much more active than it was before. It has also invited companies like Azul to join the JCP actively, to help guide the rules of licensing and engagement, and is looking to share power with stakeholders such as IBM.

Having the big red fixed box at the top left is causing me distraction. I expect left aligned stuff to hit the leftmost part of that box, but there's a lot of stuff that is not hitting it.

And that makes me wonder what the right edge is aligned to.

I know nothing about design. I guess I'm used to grid layouts and having everything nicely aligned, and this doesn't feel as if it is.

Pictures of different widths on the left are giving me too many different left margins for text. So, some of them are aligned with each other, but you don't see that because they're not all on the same fold.
I started out in 2002 as freelance php/mysql developer. Then 2003 I switched to microcontrollers 8051/avr for full time job then labview/VB/PLCs. After that at 2009, moved to new job, half sysadmin, half hw engineer, which doesn't required full time coding, may be a few bash/awk/sed scripts per week.
I've always envied people who could do that. A friend of mine told his mathematics professor a riddle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_permutation_statistics#O...) that had taken my friend hours to logic out. The professor began talking it out and, within about 15 seconds, had produced the simple group theoretic solution that Wikipedia gives.

Nautical charts
The wooden nautical charts offered by Woodchart.com are unique and beautiful. Each topographic lake map is also a frame-worthy piece of lake art.
This is one of those issues where things can get blurred, I have to confess I'm a little unclear as to your exact position as well so I'll try and be clear.

Firstly I'm pro informed consensual activity, whether or not that activity is distasteful to myself or society at large. As far as drug use and prostitution are concerned I'll go with history and note that humans will always be doing both.

Now, in response to someone raising prostitution, if consensual, being okay you responded with a link to a UN report on human trafficking and a US study on drugs and prostitution being highly correlated.

These are fair points to raise, my position would be that if various countries decriminalised drug use and prostitution then they could be regulated as many other activities and industries are which would lead to a strong reduction in health issues and unsavoury slave like conditions.

The tone of my post was to strike a response, if anything I was the one expressing an anti US (government policy) sentiment. I noted you cited a US report linking drugs and prostitution (although I note it mentioned drug use in London as well) and I reacted rather strongly to that. If you meant to imply that prostitution -> drug use + pimping then I disagree as I feel that correlation does not equal causation and personally feel that federal level policy that declares a war on drugs and regards the business of sex as immoral is more likely to be the root cause of problems.

Edit: I now find out that wladimir has had this idea and shipped code on the same idea: https://github.com/driverdan/dropship

I have wondered for a while if it could be done without the API by hooking into whatever checksumming is done before uploading.

For example, if you were to find a popularly pirated file (for example, a widely distributed MKV of an episode of Break Bad) and copy it to your Dropbox, the upload is instant as there is a high probability that someone has already uploaded it.

If you were able to somehow able to hook into Dropbox's checksumming functions it may be possible to report a checksum on a 'fake' non-existent file that is the same as what would be provided by the real copy of the file. The file then appears in Dropbox where you are free to download it at top speed having only known the hash of the file previously.

I wonder have safeguards Dropbox have to prevent this.

When he says byte-order marks are optional, does he mean just in UTF-8 (where they are) or also in UTF-16 (where I strongly suspect they are not)?

(Yes, you can use heuristics to guess which endianness is in use. The problem is that while this is trivial for Western languages I don't even know how you'd begin when presented with arbitrary text using an East Asian or African written language.)
First touch with computer - on an IBM PC AT in 1984. Did the first program in BASIC then. Regular programming started on an Intel Pentium/Linux in 1995. Pascal, C, C++, Java, JavaScript, PHP, Objective C, Shell Script etc. Never been out of touch.
I don't agree with this at all.

First off, he mentions Wordpress which is more of a blogging engine than a general CMS. Sure, if you have a blog then a static site generator is fine, but not all bloggers want to deal with static site generators. Wordpress isn't going anywhere.

"This means putting the site content in a database, then generate a page from a SQL query. Then as we realize that it's too slow to display, a cache is used that creates for each page a HTML file locally."

The problem isn't that queries are slow, it's that developers use too many queries when piecing their sites together in the CMS.

I don't deal with the OS / scaling side in my day job, but I imagine that static files don't always give you the best performance. Loading static files still hits the disk. A better option is probably to load the content from memory based storage / caching.

I have built a lot of client sites, and the blog is usually just one small part of the site. Static site generators wouldn't work for most of the sites I build.
That's true, but trivially so. Things that aren't infallible can still be useful, but understanding their limitations is important.

If you read that blog, you can find plenty of discussion of those limitations, for example, how the absence of markers of digital manipulation does not prove that an image is genuine. After all, there are plenty of staged photos out there, images that were framed in a misleading way, etc.
