When I'm doing computer services as part of my side job, I usually install AdBlock and set the option to allow Google ads. I know there are a lot of ads out there which are great and useful and nice and I would like to be seen, but Google's are the only ones I know I can trust to not be large, resource intensive Flash ads hosting malicious exploits.
There's no need to load a framework since linking to a framework means all of it's classes are added to the runtime.
You simply request the class you want. That is, if you are embedding lua in your app.

I haven't tried using TLC from the standalone luajit interpreter, but in that case you would probably have to use fii.load() to load the Framework & libobjc before being able to use objc. But that is not what it was designed for

To translate a LuaCocoa example you'd in most cases just have to add objc_loadClass calls for any class you want to use, and use dots instead of colons to call methods (obj:method() -> obj.method() ).
Ryan Lackey is a frequent commenter here, and it seems he just submitted the longer version of this story.

It's amazingly accurate (I did help him with fact checking about a year ago, and some URLs for photos and things, but I think it was 99% accurate to begin with -- the only thing I pointed out was a purely technical point).

He had better insight into the legal issues than we (or any of the lawyers we talked to) did.

I still think it failed primarily because the economics changed under our feet (prices went from $2-3k to $20-30 within 2 years), and because we didn't raise enough money. The team could have been a bit better (and would be, today; I was like 20 years old back when we did this, and none of us had done a traditional startup before), but the brick wall we were up against on pricing and financing was pretty much a deal killer.

I don't think any of this is strong evidence against a similar effort working today (not an offshore platform for hosting, but cryptographic systems, or offshore for HR/visa compliance, or just for cost advantages).

The basic strategy of trying to push only a single challenge (technical or legal or whatever) vs. trying to innovate on everything at once, is valid.
Oops, looks like it wasn't actually fixed. Sorry about that – fixed now!
Isn't this just going to encourage people to use WebGL?
You should have, of course, clarified that this is just for developers, not users.

The interesting bits of the article are:

Applications that make less than $50,000 in revenues will remain free of any royalties, as will any use of the premium features in applications packaged with Adobe AIR, including mobile applications for iOS and Android. ... There is no charge to use premium features in applications that generate less than $50,000 in application revenue. For each application that has net revenue up to $50,000, the fee to use premium features will be a 9% revenue share.

Seems like a strange choice to start charging. Will be interesting to see if it gets used. In particular I'm most interested in if it will produce "good quality" iOS / Android applications.
If you call that "not looking very far back in time" (and I agree with that), no approach was ever as brutal as nuking entire cities. But that's besides the point.

In my opinion, the US is historically one of the most destructive "empires", in that it unlike a true empire, it takes very little responsibility for the nations it interferes in. It just takes what it needs and moves on. It doesn't even bother to properly conquer a place, just a long as resistance is sufficiently broken for the US to do it's business. It's more like a swarm of heavily armed locusts than an empire.

With true colonial style empire building comes responsibility. Many former colonial nations are still dealing with that responsibility. Post WW2 US just aggressively raids and meddles, but takes very little responsibility for the people and societies outside its own borders. To call it an empire is an insult to empires.

I enjoy programming with other programmers. But I don't collaborate well with people who don't know a fucking thing about programming who try to put process on top of the process of programming.

Cowboy is a complement. It doesn't mean "lone ranger" or "asshole", it means lazy, hard worker who takes the shortest path to greatest output. So, yup. Cowboy here.

When I'm presented bullshit like that IRL I get pissed off, but I can generally take the challenge of pointing out how and why is it bullshit.

Being presented it in HN, it's a good chance to educate more people on why this is NOT thinking out of the box or being clever, and why these are NOT proper tests unless adequate context is provided.
I've been using Flask for my current project and I absolutely love it.

The project is a web interface for our library's digital archives (mostly audio and video assets, but also images and print documents). Version 1 of the project used php and mysql for the front end with python scripts handling the transcoding and metadata handling on the back end. For a variety of reasons the project got bloated to the point of being unmanageable. I decided I wanted a fresh start with a python framework and considered all the ones mentioned here.

I went with Flask because I wanted to leave the existing database structure in place and I wanted to err on the side of the framework doing too little instead of too much.

As a non-programmer (my job title says "audio engineer"), Flask was simple enough to understand, but did enough to make my life considerably easier. My one gripe is I think Flask-Login still has room for improvement, at least in terms of documentation. I've gotten it working good enough, but I still don't understand how credentials are passed around my application.

I'm sure other frameworks would have also gotten me to where I needed to be, but after working with Flask for a month or so, I'm not immediately reaching for something else.
This works exactly the same for Skype.

The article talks about ISPs running replacement servers to counter this. It is not clear, but it sounds like these servers would be intercepting DNS requests to the formerly bad servers and that is why Vixie is against it being a long term solution. He suggests that ISPs could intentionally break infected customers in small batches to get the customers to call for help, but couldn't such infrastructure be used to detect infected customers and send out assistance?

She has a huge problem with "that's what she said", but no problem with using the term “brogrammer culture”.

If she was a co-worker and used that term, I would go to HR because it offends me. Why? to make a point about the ridiculousness of our society. You get the least bit offended and instead of just ignoring it, you need to make the person go away/get fired.

It reminds me of Elementary school. When is this bullshit going to stop?
Comcast claims that the app turns the XBox into essentially a set top box and that all data is streamed over Comcast's "private" network capacity and do not use any of the traditional public facing internet infrastructure.

Standard usage of "On Demand" programming from a DVR or other set top box do not count against the existing data cap quotas.

If this app essentially allows an XBox to plug into this private network capacity like any other set top box, I think this is an important distinction.
Sound advice. I didn't mean to go to the SQL vs. NoSQL war zone and I have nothing against SQL DB's. All I wanted to say is that I find the current Redis solution easier to implement than the [clumsy] one I did in the past.
"One recent report suggested that a full 80% of Indian graduates with a 4-year degree were so bad they were not employable at all in their chosen fields - not even with additional training."

That helps shed some light on why the developers from India who are good are so good, and the rest leave you wondering.
Cant agree more.. Just a bit more code can make messages sound more human.
I came to the same conclusion alas with some different thought process behind it - all prime numbers are actually 0, the 0 we increase to 1. Then what's left dividable by 3 a 1, and what's left dividable by 2 a 2...

I guess that might be some sort of overcomplicating it, but I was quite happy until I scrolled to the bottom
It depends on your definition of "not theirs". The law doesn't look at biology only. (Same gender parents, adoptive parents, grandparents as primary caregivers, etc).

If you accept a child as your own for several years, the law is likely to look at them as yours regardless of DNA. I think that in the majority of cases, this probably works out for the better.
Mmm, that's not a bad solution, but the clutter would bother me as a user. You might just remove the items from the page (20 per page, 5 deleted on this page, now only 15) but then you might get bare pages.
Absolutely. It's also a fantastic resume piece. Two of the things I look for in a resume are a) contributions to an open source project, and b) ability to take a problem and solve it from beginning to end. As a bonus, she's clearly aware of workplace culture and committed to making it better. All good signs, especially for the startup context.
In the long run not preserving net neutrality will give a competitive advantages to the big companies. Let's imagine that Microsoft does a lot of lobbying with Comcast and they manage to make Bing Videos not count as part of your network cap whereas Youtube will be limited. Who do you think users that want to preserve their caps will turn to? Now imagine that the same scenario with Google vs a small company that does search with a totally revolutionary technology. Same thing, Google lobbies a lot and they come to an agreement and they add 1000 ms to every request that is not made to Google Search. Again, who do you think will win?

Net neutrality is the safeguard of many things but for entrepreneurs it guarantees they get the same treatment as big companies. In other words what matters most is the quality of your product and not the ties you have with ISP.

It works and guarantee pretty much the same thing as the antitrust laws. Fair competition is a huge source of wealth but requires constant care.

My leitmotif is always: Think about the [negative] externalities!

He did crack a proprietary DRM system, but only in order to further the success of his own service which used just as much proprietary DRM.

To me, for learning Lisp, nothing beats "COMMON LISP: An Interactive Approach" by Shapiro.

While doing the exercises of course (just browsing the pages is not enough).

In contrast, Practical Common Lisp teaches you very little, however it showcases the power of the language very well, and therefore it's easier to sell.

You sure about that?
Ask HN: Which platform? (Windows 8 vs iOS)
Hey guys,

I'm having a difficult time deciding in which platform I should invest my spare time.

I have a little experience with the Microsoft stack as I have developed a fairly successful WP7 app. (~15,000 downloads) I have also been learning iOS and to my surprise I am actually really enjoying Obj-C.

I don't have any particular ideas in mind so it is not as if one platform is better suited. I just really enjoy developing and wish to get the most out of the experience.

What platform do you recommend to master and why?

Thanks in advanced for your insightful answers!
Wow. I would argue that you have quite a bit more than "relatively few moments of 'brogrammer' culture" there. A TWSS bot? I can't imagine that ever being okay on any dev team I've ever worked on, including my present team which includes no women. Good on you for fighting back in a way which really speaks to those who needed to hear it most.
And I wouldn't have it any other way.
The honorary was agreed in Euros before starting my employment. When I was asked for the first invoice I included my Btc address, and wrote an email requesting to be paid in Bitcoin. The reception to the idea was so enthusiastic, including ending up writing a blog post about it (which I co-wrote). An account was created in one of the exchanges and the Btc were bought at market price, after which they were transferred to my Btc address.
Yeah no worries! I didn't imply you meant that :) Like I said I use redis timeseries exactly like you.

The pros are that it's very easy to setup etc (no schema definition, very practical API, easy to query), the cons are that you are limited by the memory space (but like you wrote, not an issue in your cases) and that it's harder to make more elaborated reports.

But I use both techniques depending on the needs.

Thanks for taking the time to write this!
He wasn't cracking their DRM so that he could watch content he purchased at his leisure on the device of his choice, or so that the information could be free, or anything of that nature. He was cracking their DRM to put a competitor out of business.

Nice attempt at a straw-man argument though.
I wonder what counts as making net revenue with Flash that would cause this to kick in.

Advertising agencies have been charging clients well over $50,000 to build flash sites for years. Are they going to have to start giving Adobe a 9% cut of everything made on their client work?
So much drama around what is basically a skin/cosmetic improvement...

Good luck anyway.
The parent comment was only pointing out how incredibly fast and easy it is to get started with TastyPie. The moment you decide to create an API resource that isn't a one-to-one mapping with a database table or Model, TastyPie is still able to come with you every step of the way.

Except, the new user isn't paying $20 at once, they pay $10 to the app store to buy the app, then they have to pay $10 at a later point inside the app to enable new features.

Same problem. The new user has a poor experience, and essentially pays twice for features that were bundled in the app to begin with.

Of course, at the $10 price point for initial purchases and upgrades, it's simpler to just release a separate app.

The problem is that broadband access is a veritable monopoly in most areas in the US. If this were an open market where lots of different providers could compete on price, then I'd agree with you.

Since you're usually locked into one or at best two broadband providers in a given area, it's too easy for them to manipulate the system.

Comcast already has a pretty solid history of abusing its monopoly over cable TV. The frustration I've had just using my "digital ready" TV with Comcast when they insist on renting you cable boxes that you shouldn't need has pretty much eaten through any free market sympathy that I might otherwise have had for them.
I think the nail in net neutrality's coffin will be when they start charging (or discounting) other parties' services. That isn't the case here.

The way I see it you get all their content through a cable box today without paying data usage fees for the bandwidth TV uses on their network (that's the point of the TV subscription fee). Now they're allowing that content on another "set-top box", in this case the XBox. The implementation details (the fact it uses internet streaming vs cable tuner card) shouldn't matter to the end-user. You pay the TV subscription fee, you get it without additional fees.

If the situation were reversed and they were charging data fees for accessing content you already pay for, we'd be up in arms about that, too...
1. Flash sites won't be using the features in question.

2. Flash sites should die a horrible horrible death.

It is really difficult to find the root cause. An explanation from historians is required for that.

I can say that historically people in Argentina does not have a strong incentive to collaborate economically because in the past you could live very well from the land within less than 2500 m2 that was easy to obtain. In some places you are enforced to collaborate.

Also the system was always corrupt in some areas. For example the port of Buenos Aires.

And why was England capable of pillaging whole continents? It's not like it was significantly larger, and it's not like they could do that in Europe (they tried that with the French for centuries).

European countries were already superior, at least in the sense of more military capable, than their African counterparts. There was nothing stopping African rulers from doing the reverse and subduing Europe. If anything, they had more time.

I think the bigger issue is that many just don't care. Academia is structured such that the metric for success as a professor is measured by your academic research, not your teaching skills. You gain tenure by producing quality research...while only requiring a pulse in the classroom.

Many professors don't care, and those that do care often have had zero training about how to actually teach. It is a skill that has to be learned, few people are naturally gifted at teaching difficult concepts to other people.

So without those servers the clients would break and can't resolve DNS requests. Is this correct?

If it is, I don't understand why to bother at all with keeping them running. Just stop them. Internet will break for the people affected, they will someone let "repair" their computer, and you get rid of all the infected clients. This needs to be done anyway sooner or later. Why defer it?

It took a while, but it sounds like he may finally realize that what he did was wrong. We'll see if he actually removes the lies from his show though.

This apology is the difference between a pseudo-apology like "I'm sorry if you're offended" and "I'm sorry that I did something wrong and won't do it again".

It may be too late though, for anyone that pays attention, he no longer has any credibility.
