Building a Todo app in Node.js using Express.js, part 1
... I can't tell if you don't understand what the issue is here (from this post and your others), or if you really think that forcing complex workarounds into one-off IDEs is a good way to solve this problem.
Because, AFAIK, it's Opera Mini, not Opera Mobile. Opera Mini doesn't do any JS client-side. I'm not even sure it does all the rendering client side (needs Opera's servers to work).
It's only 15 minutes that I learnt about the project, and 'excitement' is really a good word to describe my feelings.

I lost interest in videogames in my teens, because I felt that writing my own code was much more interesting than running someone else's programs (my own opinion, totally subjective). But gosh, this man is writing a game where the better coder you are, the better you perform in the game (that's my understanding of the programmable-starships thing). Woah -- i might be actually back on stage :-)

I think you're missing the point, and yes, you should be demanding lower pricing if that's really the case.

Parallel importation of a whole variety of goods is actually illegal in Australia, so it's not really a "free market" (there's no such thing anywhere, by the way -- every country in the world has protectionist policies in play) as retailers can't buy the same product from anywhere.

And as for "stop buying" -- people already are. Everyone in AU buys video games, DVDs/Bluray, books, etc from the UK because they're so much cheaper and they get free shipping. Retailers are losing a lot of money to sites based overseas because of this.

These same retailers are trying to persuade the government to levy further taxes on items bought overseas for personal use at the border so they can protect their ridiculous pricing here.

TL:DR; the situation is a lot more complicated than "free market" and "stop buying". Parliamentary inquiry into the matter is warranted.

Overall, it's lovely, but a few small things would improve it massively:

1. Be able to see all the questions I've asked - I often ask something hard, and later need to reference the answers. It would be much easier to use if this info was easy to access.

2. Be able to see all questions from my tags in one view - I usually view SO in that way, scroll around till I find questions that interest me and either read the answers or ask something.

3. Be able to sort by date/most voted/ etc - sometimes I just want to learn - high rated questions are usually of interest. Other times I want to answer questions, so sorting by date/low votes is useful too!

Shame the API doesn't allow write access, maybe one day!

But that would need a constant growing userbase, otherwise new (and not neccesary better) would get a favor. In the system that 1 upvote === 1 point old links get a favor.

If upvote===1 point and downvote===-1 point old posts would get a head start (from being in the top lists) but it wouldnt be that hard for a competing link. Bad links would quite quickly get low rankings though.

An important thing to note is that this isn't a social news site (as reddit or HN) but a social link sharing site, and thusly doesnt need to have fresh link at the top, but only best links.

> Well, not all - Buddhism, for example doesn't posit a specific creation story, with or without a creator sentience.

Yes, that is true. After reading a lot about it I would have to consider Buddhism the epitome of a non-logical religions (which, if you recall was the reason I brought up creation). All its teachings appear to have nothing backing them except someone thought of it.

It claims to require evidence for things, yet there is no evidence at all for any of its core teachings. Basically it says that due to meditation someone figured out these things - but that someone provides no evidence of this except his say so.

It has lots of interesting elements that are praised as being compatible with science, but those are basically philosophy/psychology and have no religious elements to them. Lots of interesting thought about the nature of people - which I guess made it attractive to people. But the religious parts (other worlds/planes of existence, enlightenment, karma, etc) have nothing backing them except one man said so.

If you are going to start a religion you're going to have to do some pretty heavy duty miracles (and in front of thousands, not just your close friends) in order to convince me that you didn't just make it up. (By me I mean a person who was alive at the start of the religion.)

Obviously a huge different between science and religion is that science can be proved now, and religion can only be proved when it started.

Once you do those miracles you have proven yourself and I can believe the rest of what you say without evidence (another large different from science).

To be a logical religion it must have made sense to the people who were alive when it started. Those people must have been able to verify every claim. Obviously we can not verify that what the religion says is what actually happened, but if you assume it to be true it must at least it must be self consistent and verifiable to those people who were there. And Buddhism is not, but religion can be, and that is my argument.
Our experience with Wimdu: we found out about the site well before we found out who the Samwer brothers are and what they do (namely, rip off big sites). We accordingly signed up because hey, more exposure can't be a bad thing, right?

Wimdu failed to cross-check our presence when they gave their telemarketing list to what sounded like kids in dorm rooms robocalling us - day after day after day and sometimes three times per day - until they finally gave up (more likely) or finally got the message that we had already listed ourselves on their site. Whatever Airbnb did where they emailed people via Craigslist has absolutely nothing on the obnoxiousness of Wimdu, they're just lesser news.

It's a serious problem that this is currently the topvoted comment. It means that people are upvoting it because they agree with the sentiment, while not realizing that neither their nor slavak's opinion of Atwood's writing should be interesting to anyone. They shouldn't be interesting, because the opinion is on the one hand unsupported and is on the other hand based on the fundamental attribution error [1].

I say unsupported, because if anyone actually read the supposed supporting links, there would at least be a discussion concerning the first link in these comments. At least, I don't see how the contents of that post disqualifies Atwood. I don't think upvoters are actually reviewing the evidence to see if they agree with this reason for disliking Atwood.

Concerning the second link: if you write off Atwood based on occasional mistakes, you are committing the fundamental attribution error [1]: thinking that someone, and therefore all his writing, must be worthless, simply because he sometimes writes nonsense. Never forget that smart and interesting people also make mistakes.

Atwood takes the time to air and explain his ideas about programming. He's not a great writer or a deep thinker [2], but that doesn't matter: he is one of us thinking about what it means to be one of us. I find all of his thoughts interesting, if only to see how someone can come to a different conclusion based on the same premises. They are interesting even if I disagree and even if he is wrong, because it shines a light on how colleagues may think about things. For instance, the second link clearly warns me that I can never take for granted that someone understands what NP-completeness means and have to verify it. That makes even that post worthwhile.

So, first you argue that UTF-8 without BOM might split glyphs at incorrect places, and then it's pointed out that UTF-8 with BOM concatenates files incorrectly, and somehow this is also an argument for using BOM?

I'm sorry but it's obvious both approaches have rather symmetrical opportunities to produce bugs. So in that case the best choice seems to be the simplest one. Which is the one without BOM.

Interestingly, this seems like one of those concepts that just doesn't make sense as an app. Perhaps I'm missing a use case, but personally, all of my coding is done at a computer... with a web browser... where Stack Overflow already exists, just milliseconds away. I couldn't see myself using this app as an effective replacement.

My workflow goes like this:

code > hit a problem > google it > open first result (usually SO) > learn (and possibly copy chunk of code) > return to text editor

Where does the app fit into this workflow? How does the app improve my workflow?

Genuinely curious how this would benefit anyone. Is it meant to sit next to a monitor? Is it meant for those who use an iPad as a coding device? Is it meant for casual browsing of Stack Overflow?
Yeah! I plan to do a sequel where I hook up the interface with the actual Rails app.

http://www.kiss.caltech.edu/study/asteroid/20120314_ESA_ESTE...

I had to dig around for sometime and I thought these papers must be behind some pay-wall. I was surprised to find them on the KISS website. It is not that they are clueless about how to bring back an asteroid and extract resources from it. They just want their MVP to the be the act of prospecting itself. Also I was really surprised to learn that Ion Engines have been routinely used before for asteroid missions like Dawn(http://dawn.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/ion_prop.asp). The scaling they need to achieve for these missions is much smaller than the average non space geek would expect.
Does anyone here know if the scalability requirements of solar ion propulsion systems they need for the mission of tugging an asteroid into lunar orbit is realistically achievable by 2020?

As the country with the fourth largest nominal GDP [1], we are doing quite well, thank you, although we have to work a little harder to deal with all that "innovation" that came from the US before and in 2008.

Look, I'm not saying that the US is not wonderful - but there are a couple of areas where it just isn't wonderful at all.

I have no idea why you quote that text related to the Laffer Curve [2] (please learn to cite your sources). After all, it seems that Germany has adopted some of its principles [3] and numbers like that do not happen in a vaccuum as the text seems to suggest. But there is still nobody in this thread arguing for excessive or unreasonable taxation. It is still about companies being asked to pay their fair share.

That being said, I don't believe in money as much as I believe in human progress and quoting numbers like that isn't really helping - the social situation in the US and the impact that your "strong" corporate culture has on the world are areas that speak a much clearer language.

There are perfectly reasonable arguments why the US is the worst place to start a company in (Immigration Policy and Software Patents would be on the top of my list), but at 300m people compared to our 80m at a similar HDI, I just don't think that the two countries are that comparable. You won the war and it took us 40 years to reunite our own country, for crying out loud!

Everybody has their own set of challenges. It would be incredibly arrogant to respond to another person trying to suggest lessons that they have learned simply by parroting their challenges or solutions that simply don't follow the discussion. Then again, you start out by asking me how I like you being the center of the universe. Well - I like to understand myself as a citizen of the world and find little use in pissing matches.

I really like this metaphor. I think one of the biggest problems with the way we spend our modern lives is that we’ve made the payoffs at the ends of “arcy” activities (media “consumption”, tweeting and snapshotting our daily lives, buying food from restaurants instead of hunting or even cooking, buying clothes instead of making them, buying houses instead of building them, hiring mechanics and plumbers instead of fixing our own things, hiring landscapers instead of growing our own gardens) so incredibly stimulating that we lose patience for “loopy” activities. Up to a certain point, we get more “pleasure” out of just enjoying the fruits of mass production and other people’s labor. But we run a real danger of forcing the loopy parts out of our lives too much; the loopy parts are where Cziksentmihalyi’s “flow”, creativity, mastery, and the most fulfilling kind of happiness lie. At the extreme, people organize their whole lives around “bucket lists” of arcy items that can be checked off, each with a discrete endpoint.

And we don’t properly recognize that the room for learning is much greater when we’re in loops; schools, instead of teaching us to put connections together and ruminate, encourage us to memorize and regurgitate. Very arcy, “a singular path through a system that someone else previously explored.”

I think it's required nowadays, or at least used by default, but less than a couple years ago HTTPS was a setting you had to manually enable and before that wasn't offered at all. Also HTTPS is only secure if you trust the cert companies, which I don't after the multiple fake certs issued last year (with at least one *.google.com presumably issued to Iran). The best way to secure your sensitive emails has been the same since the 90s: PGP encryption. (The tradeoffs have also been known.)
