You assume coffee code running in the context of a npm-based package.

coffee can also be used in the browser using the Rails asset pipeline (where you'd have the Gemfile, granted), or other methods (where you might have no indication).

The only place where I would like this line not to be shown is when I try to sneak coffee code into a codebase where only specific languages (JS in this case) are allowed and all code has to be originally written in any of these languages.

But honestly, if you are this devious, removing the line will be easy for you and, secondly, even though the coffee compiler produces really nice JS code, one glimpse is usually enough to recognize coffee compiler output as such, so removing that one line hides nothing.
Simply WOW...I'm really blown seeing the screencast...keep up the great work!

It should be my right as an employer to hire anyone that I wish

No, it is not your right; it must not be that absolute. That gives free reign to racist and other discriminatory practices, and the greater good absolutely and certainly trumps one's individual right here.

The kinds of practice you are advocating here - absolute freedom on the part of employers - have had a strong part in fomenting civil war and terrorism in various places around the world. Closest to my own home, Protestant practices in Northern Ireland - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segregation_in_Northern_Irelan... - and laws curbing this kind of segregation have had significant effects in reversing it.

It's hard for me to express how certain I am that the real world (tm) has proven your point of view wrong here. People do kill over this.
Slightly disturbing that you don't get any confirmation to share on the mobile side, it just sends your data off to whoever it matched with immediately :-/

I think this could be a cool hook to expand past photo uploads and be a full ios management tool. Give me a web interface to manage my bookmarks, sms messages, contacts, photos, notes, app third party data, etc.. - You could essentially create a web based ios/android manager. Something like http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/ but from the browser.

Keep in mind, all of the above exists already. Its just the elegant method of not having to put a PIN on both the phone + browser doesnt. Cool logon method.

Hi, this is my second comment to your post. If you're so eagerly looking for a good idea, just drop me an email on 'agarwal.k@sify.com' and I'll send you my idea. I think I have a good idea with immense potential. I'll discuss it with you completely with no hidden points. I am looking for a developer. It'll take just 10 minutes for you to go through it. No harm in hearing it. Bye, Kapil Agarwal.

I got very excited after watching that video. Meteor does a great job at hitting a lot of things a new web framework requires. However, I then viewed the source on meteor.com. It includes just a javascript and everything else is in that Javascript file.

Are all the apps going to be like this or just how they roll? Putting the HTML markup in a Javascript file not just breaks crawlers[1] (they are not indexed by Google) but also (I guess) not accessible to all sorts of users/browsers.

Show HN: I put Ziptastic into production use.
Of the 13 people, two are founders, two are engineers, two are developers, the rest are customer service reps.

Of the four engineer/developers, only one of them wasn't hired in the last few months. One of them was hired two weeks ago, one in January, another in December.

So only one developer is responsible for the app and all the servers, the others haven't hardly had time to get up to speed.

Not surprising, the iOS version is trivial since CoreImage' image processing library provides all the filters and image processing. Doing the port to Android was the hard part, although most likely they just licensed an image processing library from someone, or extracted it from GIMP's open code.

I think it is realistic to say the cost of developing the iOS version, which is what most of their 30 million customers are using, was well under $100,000.
I am guessing he means that $40k would enable him to work on his own stuff for a year instead of having to get a job.

I've been self employed for a bit over a year, and I'm paying the bills but make maybe 1/3-1/2 of what I used to when I was working as a programmer for someone else - working on my own things in my own time is a premium that's worth the lower "salary" for me.

Additionally, going into business yourself gives you a chance for a much higher payback in the long run (you're probably not going to make more than $200k/year inflation-adjusted as a programmer, but you could still make millions in a few years as a small business owner).
IANAL and my understanding of the GPL in a web context is at best fuzzy, but I still believe the following to be true:

The majority of application code is run on a user's browser. This means it is distributed (or conveyed) to the user. Thus, you have to offer every user of the app a possibility to obtain the unobfuscated source code.

But there is more: The GPL requires you to offer not only some JS files, but everything needed to run the application. This would include everything on the server-side as well.

Sencha's take on this might also be interesting in this context: http://www.sencha.com/legal/open-source-faq/

They have been using a GPL dual-licensing model for their products for quite some time now and I suspect they consulted more than one lawyer.

High Pirate Party Numbers = 4 more years for Angela Merkel

I welcome the German pirates for several reasons:

- "the discussion it brought up is already very beneficial."

- they have a high turn out of former non-voters

- "harmless stupidity": The German pirates seem to be ambivalent as of now. For instance, they are the only left-wing party that's not in favor of female employee quotas (an idea so absurd, there's not even an english wikipedia entry http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frauenquote). If they dig deeper into this populist lefty anti-authoritarian theme (as it seems to be the case) the first thing they will achieve is less votes for the other left-wing parties.

And personally, I think this would be a good thing (see "female employee quotas").
Very cool implementation, and fantastic site and video!

I grabbed the source to see what it would take to write a mysql plugin. As far as I can tell, it's fairly well tied into mongodb[1]. It seems this would benefit a great deal if the minimongo package[2] had some sort of interface to build to for custom data sources.

I would love to add mysql-livedata, and a mini-sql of sorts. Or maybe even a simple mini-orm with basic insert / update / delete / select methods and a more advanced "WHERE" syntax (SQL cousin to minimongo's selector magic). Obviously the real magic is in the livedata synchronization.

Regardless, this is very impressive. Thanks for putting this together!

1: As far as I can tell, the server won't even run without Mongo, at least according to this in server.js: `throw new Error("MONGO_URL must be set in environment")`

2: An incredibly cool browser-based implementation of the mongodb query api
Well that was pretty rude of me to say... I'm projecting from a deep and unsatiated desire for folks to rally around trying to create worth. There really aren't so many projects out there that do.

However, these are sincere questions... How does this add worth? Who benefits? What is the point?
I can imagine such a future very easily. For one thing the other parties will take over some of their positions (especially the Green and the Liberal). Then there is the Pirate Parties lack of positions in many other areas of everyday politics which makes them rather uninteresting for many voters. And they still have internal quarrels which will become stronger if they gain power and may eventually break the party (hopefully not). There is a slight hype about them at the moment, but this will cool down. And then there will be a time, when the main struggles about internet freedom cools down and there are agreements and laws made (this will somehow never end finally, but it won't matter that much anymore). That's a similar situation as the Green party had to face many years ago, when they had managed to establish laws to protect the environment.

On the long run I see them around 8 to 10 percent, depending on region (more in cities) and which positions they take in areas like education, finances, taxes... At least if they can stabilize their internal structure and avoid the problems I mentioned. But this will be enough to make them interesting as a partner in coalitions, especially together with the Green Party and that way forcing the established parties to rethink their own positions.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2105737/has-anyone-seen-t... Another nice discussion on how to deal with the duplicate problem.
Right, you can do what you want, I know that. The point is: If you do it, then you're at the deployment model that rails has been using all the time and that the php people said to be way too complicated. The simplest way nowadays to deploy rails is mod_passenger. It's about as simple as it gets - dump files, reload app. Done.

Actually, I don't get what's so simple about deploying PHP files individually via ftp. All I do is enter 'cap deploy' on a terminal. And I get free rollback. (there's web interfaces as well)
I think it's pretty unlikely that they fully get into all that "gender politics" stuff like the greens.
That has several reasons - mainly the see themselves as more "liberal" (it has a different meaning here than in the us) than greens, and also they are not as female-dominated in their ranks as greens are.

I think it's unlikely that they'll embrace a full blown "Frauenquote" (funny how there isn't an english wikipedia entry for it ^^), because the discussion inside the party (i am not a member) seems to be going in a direction they call "post gender".
I think this post gender idead, by and large, is a good one.

I hope they'll pursue this path more, bringing an approach of true equality to politics instead of the "gender fights" other left-leaning parties like to put on the political stage.

For me, the killer feature of Rust is the support for RAII and explicit, deterministic memory management (if you want it).

RAII and the ability to deterministically manage resources has always been C++'s killer feature IMHO.

There have been lots of improvements that could be made to C++ once you were willing to eliminate backwards compatibility - but all of the options up to now (e.g. D, Go), forced a GC on you, with no language support for explicit resource management.

I'm very pleased with direction "Rust" seems to be taking in this respect.

My mother died of a malignant brain tumor at 55, 4 years ago.

Turns out, when your life expectancy is less than a year, you are willing to try a lot of things.

You know what's better than going to your granddaughter's wedding next month? Living long enough to see your granddaughters born.

My mother applied for every experimental drug treatment available. She got accepted into 1 out of 6. Her doctor told her it's standard practice for drug companies to deny access to experimental drugs if they believe the success rate is going to be low, because it makes their success rate look lower.

Think about that for a second.

The drug had already passed the safety trials, i.e. they knew it wouldn't kill her, but they weren't sure whether it would help her. The company thought there was a low, but not non-zero chance the treatment would work, and they denied it.

My mother knew she was going to die, she was grasping at straws for a cure. Trying new treatments isn't sacrifice.

The sacrifice is not doing and learning everything you can. The sacrifice is throwing away fully informed and willing test subjects, and having a bureaucracy that prevents people from trying to save their own lives.

The Machinery Of Freedom: Illustrated summary
But that was exactly my point. When you do it in Java, you are obviously doing something wrong (or at least not intended to be done). It just looks wrong at the first glance, with empty blocks and all. In PHP, it's just a single character prefix, no bother at all to add, and looks just like any other sigil. Its usage is definitely not discouraged by design, quite the contrary.
First of all, the project is great! I think many of us have always dreamed of developing for the web in this way.

I also think they have to try to solve the "API Problem" at some point. Mobile apps are native and they will remain native for some time. Nobody wants to implement a web app with Meteor and re-write an API in a traditional manner.

But nevertheless this is a very interesting piece of work and I am thrilled to hear about updates!

Disclaimer: I voted for the Pirates last time I could.

It sounds you are with the Greens from your statement (Disclaimer 2: I voted for them in the years before).

Saying that the Pirates are basing their stances on idealistic views might be fine. Using that as a contrast to a party that more or less embodied idealistic (and sometimes unrealistic) positions for as long as I followed their way seems awkward to me.

Yes, the Greens matured. I .. think one of the reasons is that there's a generational gap now. Around me, Greens are represented by people in their 40s-50s that - while still believing in the core environmental values - gave up a little and made peace with a more realistic (as you put it) stance.

The Pirates, for me, are what the Greens probably (wasn't there, in my early 30s here) were for my parents generation..

My bottom line: I agree that the Greens are/were important. But it doesn't make sense to ignore the similarities in 'idealism', the youth factor etc. - the Pirates are what the Greens couldn't be. It's a failure of the Greens that they couldn't capture the young generation. In spirit they are similar. In practice, the Greens grew up. Became mature, parents (or grand parents) and (Disclaimer 3: obviously this whole piece is one big opinionated mess) old and boring.

That's a lot of text to say absolutely nothing at all.

At the bottom rung of the skills ladder, there are always more applicants than jobs - you have to count the "overqualified", as they will apply for those same jobs. The bargaining power of the employer in these situations vastly outweighs that of the employee.

Your diversion into coercion is fun, but irrelevant. Someone who needs a job will be at such a disadvantage that the fact that they aren't being forced at gunpoint doesn't matter. The illusion of choice is just that, an illusion.

In addition, if employers are allowed to continue these practices, they will spread irrespective of whether they're a good idea or not. Pretty soon, you don't have a choice at all. There are no companies left that don't violate your rights.

It is possible to find the median in linear time (quickselect). Pivoting on the median makes quicksort optimal (O(n log(n))) while only using constant space. This is rarely used in practice because the overhead is large compared to the probability of being given a worst-case problem.

Ask HN: Is there such thing as being too nice in customer support?
I run a specialized ecommerce platform, and I feel like I'm doing consulting work instead of offering a $X/mo SaaS product. Customers would email me tons of feature requests all the time, and, I, being nice and accommodating, would try to implement everything (within reason) in hopes of retaining them. I may have retained them, but it doesn't stop the barrage of feature requests that come in all the time. In fact, they have started to think that it's their right to demand features with deadlines etc. by paying an extremely small retainer (the SaaS fees), so they take it for granted.

How can I just say no? Especially when I know whatever changes they want are usually just beside the point, in that they are not addressing the bottlenecks of their businesses? I have tried "We will take your request into consideration." but it never turns out well. They will come back a few days later and go, "So how's the progress with irrelevant/peculiar feature X? I think it will be a good addition to your platform!"

The worst cases are when customers think that they're doing me a favor with their clever suggestions, saying things like "Aren't you glad that I'm giving all these good suggestions for free? Maybe I should come to work for your company." And they have no idea about the impact these features have on their conversion and sales; they don't even know what A/B testing is and prefer to use their "instinct" and "design acumen" in determining whether a feature is good for their business.

What would you do in my position?
No, it's not the money. It's comfort, and the opportunity for less compromises when picking jobs. I want to be able to choose between three Ruby/Python/whatever shops and pick one with the coolest people and coolest projects, rather than having one Ruby/Python and two PHP shops to choose from.

And, unlike you, I don't think these articles are pointless. I hope they help PHP get more bad reputation among coders, and peer pressure will do the rest.
