FlashFirebug: A Firefox extension for inspecting SWF files on the fly
Hello, we've just released FlashFirebug 3.4.2 and would love comments and feedback about it. We're also preparing to start development on our next release, so this would be a great time to get feature suggestions and requests.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashfirebug/

We'd also love to hear from people who've worked with Flash on the bytecode level as we're looking into advanced debugging features (breakpoints, stack traces, watches, etc). Any technical hints and pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
While that is deeply worrying, it's "long-term, concerned for the future of free society" worried. "If you have nothing to hide" is a horrible, chilling defence of an essentially totalitarian strategy, but it's also almost right: If you don't stick your nose out, even totalitarian regimes do mostly leave you alone.

Having your e-mail accessed by black-hat hackers is "right-now, have to change every password in the world, block and replace every credit card at the most inconvenient time possible, deal with spam and scams in my name, possible ID theft and potentially sensible data being made public"-worrying. And you can make that attack significantly harder, so you should do that. Right now.

Or, tl;dr: Perfect is the enemy of good, go enable two-factor.

As an aside, during the 80s the BBC and some other European broadcasters also transmitted software over the radio using BASICODE [1]. I remember taping some of the transmissions, though I can't remember now whether I got any of them to load into whatever computer I had at the time.

Coursera just blew me away by offering courses that aren't related to computer science! I am definitely looking forward to seeing how those blow over. Udacity doesn't have the funding that Coursera has, but also promises to be great. Udacity, however, is focused solely on computer science education. I believe this is a mistake and free education should be for everyone, not just computer dorks.

Also, it's Codecademy, not Code Academy. :)

That’s just topic-fronting, used for emphasis or to give context to a comment. (I probably should have said Topic+Subject+Verb+Object.)

“他比我高” is “he’s taller than me”; “比我，他高” is “compared to me, he’s taller”. In the first sentence, “比我” is a prepositional phrase, coming as it usually does before the predicate (高). In the second, “比我” is still structurally a prepositional phrase, but its position marks it grammatically as a topic. In other words, #1 = subject + prepositional phrase + predicate adjective; #2 = topic(al prepositional phrase) + subject + predicate adjective.

I mean, the claim’s not untrue—throwing words around can definitely get you farther if the grammar is simple than if it’s complex. But you run the risk of arriving at a structure with a meaning you didn’t intend, and I’d rather just try to use correct grammar, because it is simple.
The Magic Moment When You Shift To Executing As Fast As You Can
Of course it isn't a bad start. But, as others pointed out, the price point is pretty high as it is merely a bet on the product.

I myself would have considered buying/donating, although I wouldn't use the first version (not doing any Javascript or Clojure projects). But I see value in what is planned here and would be willing to bet twenty or even thirty dollars on its success. It would be a bet that the final product, which I basically bought, is good enough that people implement plugins for it that I could use (ruby/php/java/actionscript/etc).

But $50 is a pretty high bet in this case, and I would bet that I am not the only one in the described situation...

To strike a contrary note to the posts so far. I happen to think this was quite a good article.

The pc has one killer app as a consumer device, a nice big screen. Watching a movie or reading a book, is much, much better on a pc than any tablet. I'm sure there are hacks for displaying your tablet screen on a pc screen, but they are just that, hacks - not something the average consumer will enjoy.

a natively supported, seamless connection between what's on your tablet and on your pc is a BIG DEAL. Neither Google nor Apple want to make this work because this would highlight the benefits of the desktop. Microsoft is the best positioned to take the gap here.

Delta Air Lines sells time in their passenger jet simulators, but the pricing is undoubtedly in the "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" range: https://www.delta.com/business_programs_services/training/pi...

The full motion simulators they have a picture of are intense; they feel like the real thing in motion, in controls (weighted and worn like the real thing), and in sound. I was lucky enough to try one for a C-130 last year, and I'm still a bit blown away by it.
Giving source/website/URL for ClassyTracker.com to a good home
About a year ago I built a simple proof-of-concept website for a drop dead simple Craigslist ad tracking tool (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2542446). It was kinda neat and worked reasonably well.

Now I find myself in a position where I'm cleaning house and I just need to let things move on. ClassyTracker is one of them. Is anyone out there interested in inheriting the site? The code isn't particularly elegant (PHP and MySQL), but as best as I can tell, there's not really any competition for something like this, and it might be a good starting point for someone else. The code is quite simple, too.

I'm willing to transfer the domain, code and all the files to a willing party. I just didn't want to see everything get deleted if possible.

You can email me if interested, or post here.
Hah, I guess I can start marketing myself a Senior Web Developer now - despite only one year's experience outside of university.
Me too. Just remember to set the load-factor quite high. I've got it set to about 8 million rounds which is about one second on my beefy work computer, two on my private laptop and ~eight on my Android phone. The last bit is a bit annoying but at this point my key database is a pretty high value target - and I can't revoke access to it remotely if I lose my phone.

To this day it's remarkable how big a chance AT&T took on the iPhone and how big a departure it was (and is) from how the industry usually works. They only went to AT&T after Verizon told them to take a hike.

This is older than shit.
Well, I think any analogy starts to fall apart when you look too closely. But you've got the right idea. Sure, there's no reason you couldn't distribute it out further. I used the word 'entity' above in an attempt to imply that it could be "one large radio station" or "a group of smaller radio stations"--the point is that the decision-making is abstracted out to somewhere else.

Note also the use of "logically centralized", not "physically centralized".
As you notice, the UAE is rather wealthy. I seriously doubt they located the prototype near Abu Dhabi because it was a location in dire need of safe water, rather than convenience and publicity.

A few other middle eastern, and numerous African countries, with GDPs so small you'll think there was a typo, both desert and not, have serious clean water shortages.
The thing is, Microsoft can integrate with its own products as much as it wants, but I will never have only Microsoft products. If it doesn't integrate well with other products not controlled by Microsoft, I think their strategy will fail. And let's face it, they've got a terrible track record in that area.
I wish them all luck and success!

(Because I forgot in my earlier post).
I believe that's "thinking of building", not "planning to build."
Agree - why so slow?

Would be nice to see an open implementation here. I was kind of thinking that Google Tv might be that. But you really need the ability to overlay the picture. I've considered placing a low resolution lcd next to the telly and doing something myself. Something text based would be fine, it wouldn't need a supercomputer.

When David Cameron visited the Queen to be signed in, I had a live Twitter feed running and it was hilarious. I like the alternative commentary. You could also do audio overlays - over the net. Or even (though a little Orwellian) a webcam to communicate with your mates, something like hangouts.

The smart TV landscape and digital services are pretty confusing. It was tricky enough choosing between Ceefax and Teletext.

Currently I resort to a laptop for lookups and my partner claws her smartphone - which is pretty antisocial, and you miss the action.

How We Nearly Lost Discovery
Open Source Private Cloud Software Startup Eucalyptus Raises $30M
Why are so many people making this an either - or?

Yes, I love programming.

Yes, I (mostly) treat work as 501 even though I (usally) love the work I'm doing, but I'm not owned by any company.

Yes, I decide over a job similar to "love" precisely because it takes so much time of everyone's live and I spend more time in the office with my coworkers than I spend with my friends, family and spouses.

And I still want to see something else but my editor (and I do really like my editor :) - art, books, parties, the city I live in - which I also chose by "love" which is why I wouldn't move for a job to a city I do not like - other cities, good food and other people.

So, I look hard to find a workplace I like to do work I love doing which fits into "having a life outside".

And exactly that enables me to have a choice EVERY DAY wether I want to do some hacking privately or have a nice dinner with friends.

But for many life decisions I'm on the side of the 501 manifesto's spirit: I wouldn't leave my family/spouse for a programming job at $glorious_company, I wouldn't move into some boring smalltown and leave all my friends and the opportunities of my favorite city behind just to do programming at XYZ.

This doesn't keep me from having two thinkgeek shirts TOGETHER with 20 others, going to a nerd conference here and there AND take two hours off to go into this cool art exhibit which is at the nerdy_conference_town right now, read a programming book once in a while on top of the pile of other books I read.

I totally accept that I'll never become a rockstar in programming with this life-style - but I might have hung out and gotten drunk with real rockstars on some of the parties I had time to attend or even played some rock because I had time to be part of a rockband. ;) (God, I hate the rockstar metaphor a lot.. :)

In the end it's about looking down on my life and thinking "it's a good life" - and that changes from decade to decade anyways. What I considered a good life with 22 isn't anymore what I consider a good life now - and yet I wouldn't change a thing of my 22-year-old life.
I'm really thrilled that open source business software start-ups can raise that amount of money.

Definitely find this quote interesting as well. Especially because it also means that he was able to communicate the aesthetic to other people in a way the other people understood it. That's amazing.
Because the Coursera courses are made to be online, not only classes that were put online.

The difference between Courser, Udacity and MITx, from iTunesU , earth academic and the others is that they prime for being a 'real' class. You have deadlines, exercises, projects and so on. And you can interact with your peers.
Amazon’s Secretive Cloud Carries 1 Percent of the Internet
Ask HN: How can I improve and break into this industry?
I'm a 22-year-old expat English teacher. Although I enjoy teaching English and can see myself doing it for a few more years, it's not something I want to do for the rest of my life.

My goal is to gradually learn more about software development and work on building a portfolio. It looks like now is the best time ever to be a self-taught programmer - with Codecademy, Udacity, and Coursera all offering amazing courses free of charge.

That said, what I'm doing seems somewhat unusual and I'm wondering how realistic my goal is. I only teach 2 hours/day and can spend many hours each day working on software development, but will this gain me enough skill and experience to land a decent job? With thousands of new CS grads to choose from, who would hire someone with only a few years of self-taught experience and no CS degree? I have a math degree from a good state university, but nothing else to put on a resume.

I'm interested in hearing an honest opinion on how realistic my plan is, as well as any suggestions or alternatives. Thank you so much!
This is where kickstarter is most useful in my opinion: where you have a production-ready product, and you're not sure whether you should start at your local machine shop, or get in touch with a factory in China to produce the product.
They depends a lot in the university and the teacher.
The bigger part of the delays were caused because of these.

I like Tabzilla, and I may make use of it. Whether it's really functionality that people would use is another question.
An introduction paragraph actually answering the question would be good.
Can't the acquiring company simply pay off the inventor(s) to get their permission to use the patents offensively? Say, a 50 / 50 split?
Is nice to see courses overlap, like 2 classes of Algorithms. It'll make better courses.

And I have to tell you, guys, how much a thrill I feel with these online courses. As a comp. eng. student in brazil, being able to watch classes from stanford and berkely, but not only this, being able to attend classes given by the guys who wrote the books I study with ( Sedgewick and Ullman, for example) makes me very excited and happy. I love living in the 2000!
Woo woo, been eagerly waiting for it ! Thanks Drew !
Yes, but it does it without actually needing to configure additional IPs on that server. Which means your cloud servers can be identically configured, which means you can move Cloud IPs between them with ease, and you can clone them with ease.

Basically, putting multiple IPs on cloud servers negates the flexibility of floating IPs. Special configuration on cloud servers should be kept to a minimum imo!
Ubuntu 12.04 is for App Developers
I think this part of the README is relevant:

Thanks to Jason Scott and Tony Diaz for successfully
extracting the source code from a 22-year-old 3.5" floppy
disk archive, a task that took most of a long day and
night, and would have taken much longer if not for Tony's
incredible expertise, perseverence, and well-maintained
collection of vintage Apple hardware.

From this we learn that the code, today, only existed in an out-dated medium, readable on vintage hardware, and even meeting those prerequisites, still involved a fair amount of human expertise and time to extract.

I'm sure they could, but unless they also have a book to promote, it's probably not worth their time. Well, I think it would be, simply as a contribution to the history/record of the era... but they likely aren't going to recoup the time or effort other than in goodwill. (I also suspect there's probably legal, copyright, and ownership issues involved as well.)
> without SNI (which is out because of WinXP)

More specifically: IE on XP. IIRC Firefox and Chrome support SNI when running on XP and I would guess Opera does too.

Obviously you would still risk alienating some of your market, but if "try another browser" won't offend that part of your target audience that use XP+IE too much you could consider SNI. Unfortunately if a significant part of your market is corporate users this simply isn't an option and won't be for a while as many of them are locked to XP+IE by their IT setup.

Puppet Configures OpenStack
My favourite thing about this is that here, on my Macbook Pro, my CPU usage stays nice and low, and my fans don't even seem to notice all the 3D happening in my browser.

If this were built in Flash, I'd be worried that looking at it for too long would result in my Macbook burning a hole through my desk.
This is somewhat of an artificial problem caused by how popular cloud server providers (e.g. EC2 and Brightbox) have chosen to implement their networking. There's no inherent problem with cloud servers. For example, Linode lets you have many public IP addresses associated with a server, just like a traditional server. But it also lets you move IP addresses around between servers in the same data center, so you still have the convenience of the cloud.
I feel it's my duty to ignore this company after reading it

That's nice, but you haven't any understanding of what a patent actually is. It is not an idea, any more than the title of a book is a story. It is an implementation. In the case of Qama, the clever bit is scaling the estimation tolerance with the difficulty of the calculation.

It seems that maths isn't the only area that needs education.
Oracle v. Google: we wanted to take on Android, admits Ellison
Thank you for you advice. But the point still remains that exams and all the education learning side aren't for me. Teaching my self and learning on the job so to speak sounds much more like me.
Crowdfunding Platform CircleUp Launches, Announces $1.5M Round
This is hard if the developers on question are unwilling to do so. A somewhat parallel in the whole VLC iphone app not meeting the GPL fiasco comes to mind... They pulled the app because some dev complained. Then again, a corporation with deep enough pockets might be able to cough up enough money to change minds. I'll defer to Raldi on this...

He's trying to eliminate ideas for products, not sell an existing one. I.e. if he writes an e-book, is the cost of sales going to make it a net loss, if so, he should make a product at a higher price point or pick a different niche.

Adwords is appealing since it's an auction, and they let you see some of their data. In your example of using SEO instead, you have to do the SEO work with either your time or someone else's, so it's not like the cost is zero.

"Is it shocking that $1400 of guaranteed revenue per phone would ultimately be embraced by the carriers regardless of their reluctance about some aspects of the process?"

If you add "in a world where, each month, there are a zillion devices with $1000 guaranteed revenue that, if you are lucky sell well for maybe a month" : yes.

At the extreme, it can be not worthwhile to sell a product with a $1.000.000 guaranteed revenue if, in order to make that sell, you have to instruct personnel at thousands of shops, provide marketing materials for those shops, buy advertising space, etc.

It is not only that $1400 that makes the iPhone attractive, it also is the fact that you just have to put up a hand-written sign "we sell iPhones" to sell them in large quantities, not for a few months, but for over a year, without any changes to the model. That is what surprised many people.
Design Your Most Effective Email Newsletter
Be interested to know how you did this tbh. Pretty sure EC2 doesn't let you map multiple elastic IPs to an instance afaik?
The trouble is that it is not entirely clear which cookies are exempt and which are affected in many cases. We have a site with a cookie set for logged in users - perfectly normal. This cookie is essential for the operation of certain aspects of the site. Is this cookie in the same category as those used to maintain a shopping cart (and thus exempt)?

To be on the safe side we are putting up a notice on the log-in page - and accepting the user's decision to continue to log-in as explicit permission to set the cookie.

On the plus side I am looking forward to not seeing ads for anything I have viewed on certain retail sites popping up wherever else I go on the Internet.
It is worth noting that AT&T quit restricting non-Market applications (back when it was the Android Market) because of the Amazon Appstore. People kept asking how they could get it (because they wanted the Free App of the Day and the like) and AT&T eventually gave in.
No, it's not a form of charity. Kickstarter even goes so far to make it clear they aren't in that game. In fact, they even say this:

"Kickstarter isn’t charity: we champion exchanges that are a mix of commerce and patronage, and the numbers bear this out."
