With Google's Project Glass, we are even more inspired to finish Gauntlet. One problem I see with Project Glass is complex input such as typing when voice is not an option. That's when a wearable keyboard interface could come in handy (no pun intended).

The Peregrine actually only has an USB interface, so you are essentially tethered to your computer and cannot use it with your phone\tablet or anything else. It is marketed as a gaming device, which limits the amount of possible inputs. I don't think you can replicate the entire keyboard with the Peregrine, which GAUNTLET could easily do. My hope is to have the comercial version (if pursued) of GAUNTLET to look as aesthetic as, if not better than, the Peregrine.

The judge protects copyright infringers and gives reasoning:

"Unfortunately, it would appear that the technology that enables copyright infringement has outpaced technology that prevents it."

It's crazy to see that judges are wising up to the antics of the recording and motion picture industries.

I know PG is looking for a way to radically disrupt the way these giants do things, and I think the current state of our culture and judicial system creates an opportune moment for a new startup to do just that.
I think this is kind of a ridiculous claim. I have deposited checks twice with PNC Bank's app and both times it took only a minute or two to complete and I didn't even have to leave the house. Neither were rejected. Just because Marco's bank's iPhone app sucks doesn't mean that the technology isn't there. Marco better than anyone should know that it is.

How about – Sometimes, technology sucks.

Depends on what you're looking for.

Does it work is the most important thing by a mile but if you've asked them to wrie production ready code then you've got to ask "how would I feel if one of my developers checked this into version control and how would it fair in a code review?"

Maintainability, readability, efficiency and most significantly the candidates ability to explain why they took the approach they did.

I wouldn't hold any approach against someone so long as they could talk intelligently about the trade offs and why they'd done what they'd done.

Even really simple problems are a chance to see whether someone thinks about things.
He meant to say "IOS", it's just that iOS autocorrects those characters.
Thanks!

If you think this looks ugly, you should've seen our very first version. Let's just say they don't teach tailoring in an engineering curriculum :P We actually outsourced this to a seamstress, who was able to fabricate the glove from ground up with conductive threads sewn in.

I think Nintendo was kind of ahead of its time when they released the PowerGlove. I definitely see the merit of a wearable interface today with better batteries and wireless communication technologies. I think Google agrees. The challenge will be how to make it as unobtrusive as possible.

Ask HN: At what point you should decide to quit your job.
Our team is working on an idea and is in the process of releasing the first prototype somewhere around the end of this month.
However, we currently also have a fulltime job and so need to manage the time. we were thinking at what stage one should start working fulltime in their startups and hence would like to get the opinion of fellow HN users ( many of you would have done the same at some point)
Some of the milestones that we could think of were
1. A major release.
2. Get some seed funding ( so we dont have to
bootstrap)
3. After gaining traction among users.
4. Getting into some accelerator program.

Feel free to add your experiences and thoughts on the same.

Did someone edit the title? I swear it used to contain the full project/tagline.

My one complaint is that this really does not work "right inside a text file," atleast as far as "inside a text file" is usually interpreted. When I saw the project tagline I was really excited and somewhat skeptic. When I see "do x in a text file" i think of a text file I can send to someone and not require that they use a certain font. But, I do realize given that constraint it's a lot harder to implement a histogram. Neat project though...

More than it can happen, if your programmers are good it should happen.

A leader is spending a fraction of the time hands on that a programmer is. Given the developments in technology and the additional time the developers are getting with it, if they're not better than their leader in a few years, you've got the wrong programmers.

I also want to third this, for tech hiring anyway.

I have far more time for a plain text resume that fits on one side of A4/Legal, than I do for anything else.

It's all about how quick I can scan the document and extract information from it that might tell me what experience a candidate might have.

For me, the quickest way I can scan something is to have it feel like something I work with every day: logically laid out text, in fixed width, with related chunks fitting on the same screen.

Give me a plain text resume any day. If you deeply feel the need, add syntax highlighting in the form of very subtle highlights and lowlights to make the most pertinent sections and key facts stand out. But if you do that, bear in mind that such highlights and lowlights should be the minority of your document.

Do I practise what I preach? Yes: http://www.buro9.com/cv.txt
I disagree. The theory is not that collisions don't exist. The (probabilistic) theory is that you will never find one. In practice hash functions tend to have flaws that are discovered over time, ruining this theory.
I'm having trouble getting a reference to USAAs current eligibility information, because their website is a mess of badly named links and what Google finds redirects me to their homepage, but as I understand it pretty much everything under their banking umbrella is now available to everyone, including the credit card and loan stuff, and with it, remote deposit access. That said these breathless USAA cheerleaders should try having actual contentions with them sometime, it's a pretty poor experience reminiscent of news stories you hear about BoA and similar
Nowhere did I assert that this was the parent's arguement. I didn't represent his position at all.

My question adds context that changes the weight of the parent's assertions. What I wrote isn't even an argument, so it can't be a straw man.

Once Google indexes Borges' Library of Babel, though, you will find that any sentence is already used, and every article is already written.

On a more serious note: it would be interesting to add a check to CMS systems to automatically look up all sentences in an article before submitting and apply information theory to compute a "plagiarism" coefficient. No doubt these kind of systems already exist to detect student plagiarism.
I'm equally annoyed by people (in a non-personal setting) who asks me my birthday (down to the year) and then asks my age. The person asking is almost always some sort of government/healthcare agent (because most other people are not legally allowed to ask birthday in the first place) filling out some administrative form (paper or online).

Any data entry system which cannot eff-ing figure out my age from my yyyy-mm-dd birthday is an idiot, and deserves to have me "oops-I-calculated-it-wrong" my age.

This is not quite correct. It's not a binary. The existence of one weak alternative network wouldn't be enough. We need an actual plurality of active networks.

These issues are real when you have large organizations like Google and Facebook who stand a reasonable chance of extinguishing a significant part of the diversity.

I had a journalist rip off one of my posts without mentioning me as the source or even that I discovered the story. I found him on Twitter and sent him a message about it, and got no response. I dropped it because it happens so often.

I ended up following him on Twitter. He later published another story that was a slight follow up to my own story and series of articles. This article of his got a lot of attention. In an irony of all ironies, he then tweeted:

"This is why we need old media and journalists, bloggers would never have found or investigated this story" [1]

He had a bunch of other journalists replying in strong agreement.

He was talking about a story that was 90% built on posts that I and other bloggers wrote, and not only took the credit for it but claimed that there is no way non-professional journalists would be able to 'investigate' such a story. I pinged him again with 'oh the irony' and a link to my blog. No response again.

[1] Paraphrasing. He later deleted the tweet

If it were up to me, I'd require every student to have taken and mastered an Introduction to Logic course.

If only at least so that when I pointed out a particular logical fallacy or faulty reasoning someone committed, they'd know what I was talking about. It's no good to know when someone is full of BS if they don't understand it why. :)
Seems like we all agree that USAA is awesome.

In regards to him having trouble scanning checks with Chase: that sounds like a problem with Chase's implementation, not the technology as a whole.

I have been using USAA's online service as my only form of check deposit for 5 years (started with flatbed scanner, now iphone). I have never had a check refused. Hundreds of them have gone through (have to re-take the photos sometimes, but they always eventually work). It works, and it works really well.
Sometimes, new technology is not progress.

Well, the last contact with checks was, IIRC, in the 80's when I saw my mother occasionally using them and they were being phased out at the time already. This was in Europe. So, I don't think any technology to have to do with checks can ever be considered progress.

I guess you have an pretty interesting interpretation what "objective" is.

You shouldn't. I'm sure there are many despicable people who did so on the wrong principles. You need to add that those principles are compatible with yours.
This is the home page of Amazon. It's data driven. Every pixel is probably calibrated for sales.
So, what is he right about?
E*Trade supports this now too. So far I've done a couple of checks and it worked fine.
I've been a USAA customer since 1999 and have always had great customer service from them. The most recent instance was about a year ago or so I had several charges I didn't recognize for a few hundred bucks each hit my checking account one morning. They were all for perfume and shoe stores in the UK (I was living in FL at the time). It took about 5 minutes on the phone to get the charges removed and a new card on the way.

"I do not post on 4chan." -- RMS

Yes, this is the case - Python's REPL (and eval) deals with strings and does not go through an explicit representation of the parsed code, mainly because there is no such representation in Python. There is an ast module that parses Python code but it is an add-on, not at the core of the implementation. That is what I meant by manifestation of deeper differences between Python and Lisp.

Unfortunately I'm having plenty of problems getting this to work as opposed to when I originally hacked everything together. Google has been upping their security so now things like http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&p... prevent it from working, along with dual factor authentication - and Google Voice is, of course, still missing an API.

rms has zero understanding of all things social, about what makes "normal" people tick. His fantasies have little to do with the reality and the future.

I just forked it and added a few things:

* zero dependencies (except coffee-script.js of course)
* REPL-style like the standard console
* command history (up/down keys)
* console capturing (pretty ugly as it is, the console API is not exposed)
* on-the-fly syntax checking
* fixed the icon :)

OpenMCL was renamed to Clozure CL several years ago. It was called OpenMCL, because it originally was an open sourced version of MCL, Macintosh Common Lisp.

The Up-Arrow is for textual navigation in the Listener window. Like in a normal text editor window, which it is based on.

A typical way to use the history in Clozure CL is to move with the cursor keys to the input of interest and press RETURN to have it copied to the current prompt.

To get the last things you typed, press option-p. 'p' as in previous. As in Emacs, since Clozure CL has an Emacs-variant (derived from called Hemlock) at its core. But written in Common Lisp.
Get a laptop capable of running Coreboot. Then you can install Coreboot and Linux (I won't say GNU/Linux, sorry, the GNU tools are the worst part of Linux) and have free software all the way down.

The new Chromebooks from Google should be running Coreboot, Linux, and Chromium, all of which are free software. I guess that's also an option.

Edit: also, I think this netbook, coupled with Stallman's 40 years of EMACS use, is at least partially responsible for RMS's severe RSI :)
TPP is the "Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership". It does a lot of stuff outside of IP law (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Pacific_Strategic_Econom...).

Two things. First of all, TPP looks far scarier than every other law and agreement I've seen proposed so far. All previous attempts had at least been somewhat disguised as being limited - there was a clear effort to make the (dubious) claim that "they won't effect you". That seems to be gone now. I think the TC article does a pretty bad job of pointing out how strong TPP is, actually.

Secondly, these nasty provisions popped up only in the US proposal (IIUC), and yet, many of them run contrary to established US case law, and would circumvent current reform efforts. This agreement has quite clearly become a forum for the MPAA/RIAA/MAFIA lobbyists who couldn't get their policies passed out in the open. It fairly reeks of underhandedness.
True. Lisps are much like snowflakes. Their uniqueness and pervasive symmetry are so important that surely, you cannot Truly Appreciate the snow if you do not examine each flake as if under a microscope to directly apprehend its beautiful symmetry.

Well, as another poster pointed out, he also has a variety of web browsers installed that he uses when he really wants to.
What you see in your browser is not the actual font. It was first transformed by typeface.js so that people without the font installed could still see what it looks like in their browsers.
Some people have mentioned (seemingly great) alternatives to displaying uninstalled fonts, but I haven't had a chance to try them out.
If you were to view text with the actual font, it would have no problems scaling.
