There's no caveat. It says "Redactor распространяется бесплатно по лицензии MIT или GPL, на ваш выбор." which literally means "Redactor is distributed freely under the MIT or GPL licenses - it's your choice."

Edit: This goes to the lack of English docs, not to your misunderstanding I'm sure.
Dual-licensing works for MySQL but it may not work that well for smaller projects that are easier for company to re-implement from scratch. There's a possibility that GPL may be too high price for company to pay, and it's a price, too; you as a developer pay it when you choose GPL over BSD. The purpose of my previous comment was to point that out.
Ah, thanks.

I wonder how many people even know that dashes are legal in DNS names. (I mean, of course, the ASCII character that serves as hyphen, en-dash, and minus sign.)

I think there are lots of domain names that would benefit from a well-placed dash -- the most amusing example I've seen being Pen Island's.
The problem is one more practiced 40 hour worker is less overhead, cheaper and usually more productive than two 21 hour workers.

A few other notes from the spectrum: the final chord is D major, with little F#. Between 14 and 19 seconds, the pitches take 5 jumps to their destination, at about .9 seconds per jump. (This is the part that sounds like rising tones before the final chord.) The jumps aren't synchronized, or else there would be a 67bpm rhythm to this part. The jumps aren't smooth, but an exponential decay, where they move rapidly at first, and then slow down. In the first part, the frequencies wander between about 130 and 260 Hz, with a noticeable peek at exactly 200 Hz. (And of course the harmonics.)

This will make more sense if you see the spectrum; I've put a picture of the spectrum at:
https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/qbuyIVSC2Bsvgxg5HlSD4-...
Time is the X axis, and frequency is the Y axis. The lines that move in parallel are harmonic frequencies.
Silicon Valley should be conservative in its growth to miigate the damage from potential downturns? Do you not see the irony in that statement?
I always find it interesting when the Chinese government does this sort of thing, because it reveals something of their mindset.

In particular, they include two quite different things in their list:

1. Human rights abuse by the government

2. Violence by criminals that the government fails to prevent

So the Chinese government is accusing the US of being neglectful towards law and order, and claiming that its of equivalent severity to inflicting human rights abuses upon them.

I wonder how much they believe that, and how much is just maintaining face?

All I was doing was avoiding doing the work, the real effort of producing the content that actually mattered. I was hiding from honest sharing with the conviction that the tools were not good enough yet.

This is a great insight. Building the platform is sometimes only half the battle -- getting users to produce the content that makes the product interesting , valuable (and eventually profitable) seems like the challenge these days. Because the further entrenched people become to the platform that houses their "content", the more loyal they become. Facebook is the most obvious example, and a lot of Facebook communications read like watered-down email OK for public consumption.
>Not to defend China on human rights here, but to those accusing China of hypocrisy: China does this to point out the hypocrisy of the US - who is too happy to accuse others of human rights abuses while running turning a blind eye to its own problems.

There are, I think, relatively few people who would claim the US has a perfect record on human rights, but I don't think it's fair to say that we turn a blind eye to them. These things do get debated, even if we ultimately decide to go with the less liberal option.

Saying that we ought to get our house completely in order before pointing out human rights violation in other countries is wronger than wrong: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wronger_than_wrong
Why are we so focused on creativity and customization instead of standardization and ease of building? Look at the waves of designers who are crying foul over Twitter Bootstrap and trying to convince us not to use it because they realize that the demand for their services has just been cut in half!

Well, what 'we' are you talking about? As someone who's primarily a back-end developer with some 'front-end' skills (but not necessarily design skills), I'm not at all focused on customization or creativity. Bootstrap has been fantastic, because it allows me to make decent looking sites out of the box.

If/when a project gets to the point where a) it's out of proof of concept and b) the client/team wants better visuals, then we'll bring in a designer or two, and press them to design something around the existing CSS/structure that's there (within reason).

This will piss off the UX people to no end, and in some cases, they may be right to get upset. One size does not fit all, and Bootstrap in its current form doesn't handle every situation elegantly.

What I hope to see is an evolution of Bootstrap and some similar tools crop up to address these UX/UI needs from the perspective of a web 'person' - not a designer, not a developer, but a hybrid role. A role that both understands and implements all facets of the technology (not just advises/consults, but can actually be hands on), and a role with a primary focus on the hands-on. Not photoshop/dreamweaver on one hand, and not GWT/abstractionkits on the other.

That role doesn't quite exist yet, because the tools aren't quite there yet, but as tools like Bootstrap evolve, I think we'll see this. There should be no need to 'mockup' stuff first in Photoshop if the only (or primary) end result is web, but that's still how many projects work.
You might consider changing your walking style. Children most often walk middle-footed or even forefooted when barefoot, and this is considered the most natural way of moving. Setting down the rear end of the foot before lowering it completely is a necessity when wearing normal shoes, but it's not natural. Before I adapted fully to the Vibrams my soles even started burning on the heels when I ran longer distances. I read that it's best to just set down the whole foot plainly (or forefoot first) when walking/running with Vs.
Downvote, I have no idea what this is by looking at the first few lines of the homepage.
Yep, Aloha is very cool, especially now that they're replacing ExtJS with jQuery UI to make it lighter. It is unfortunate that they've stuck with the problematic AGPL, though.

That was the primary reason that made me start http://hallojs.org
I think something like a flat blade 3 pins in a row italian style plug would be the ideal. Flat and square plugs tend to stay in place compared to round plugs and the 3 pins in a row would be space compact, while still providing grounding.
Consider using StackOverflow for questions like this...there's a substantial number of iOS devs who hang around there (myself included!) - plus it's far more likely somebody else with the same problem will stumble upon your question and spread the knowledge.

With regards to your specific question, if you use the various border properties of the underlying `CALayer` (`borderColor`, `borderWidth`, etc) and scale the view by changing its bounds the border will retain the same width as before. You can also scale a view by transforming it, but that's slightly different.
I couldn't agree more. I deal with a large number of older people on a daily
basis as part of my volunteer work. Getting these folk to use the Internet in
any way is painful. For example, I send out these PDF reports once a week.
It's the same template every time but for accounting purposes, it has to be
done. I wrote a Python script to generate those for me and I stick them up on
a simple website on S3. The script them emails everyone to let them know the
report is available and that they can download it. It includes a link to the
report and to the website with all the other reports. These guys absolutely
cannot open a browser and view the PDF in the browser. If it's not an
attachment to the email, they don't know what to do.

TLDR --- Email is great. It's so simple that even non-techies get it.
Call it what it is and keep your stupid gimmicks to yourself.

This is a great notion for long distance road trips. It would be pretty nice when cruising cross-country to drift in behind an 18-wheeler and then read a book.

I think we'll get fully autonomous vehicles before this type of thing becomes common, but it's pleasant to envision a future where cars on the freeway form little spontaneous communities, with lead cars broadcasting "hey I'm headed here, hitch a ride" and others falling in behind.

Yes, I know there are a million ways a griefer could cause problems. Yes, I know that driving a car on the freeway in the middle of nowhere is one of the easier scenarios for a completely self-driven car, and no lead is necessary. I still think that self-organized caravans is a cool notion.
Email is awesome, certainly. But if everyone actually started a mass-email to all their friends about every little topic they post to a Facebook status update, I'd call 'em pretty damned rude abusing my email inbox like that and my email client would need even better filters than it already has to fight the commercial spam.

Experiments to find things better than email will mostly fail, but I think we still need more experiments. There must be something better than all that spam for a start.

I don't have any specific recommendations. Almost all sources of information are biased. You can use that as a feature, to see the perspective that the source is trying to influence you with, or you can at least be aware of it. Basically, treat every source of information critically.

Looking for team-mates to join start-up (venture) in Bay Area
Hey guys,

I am an ios developer, and I have been working on two ideas in the past, and I strongly believe that these ideas will take off. I was working with a team before, but they got caught up with corporate life, and lost the momentum after being rejected by the investors. I am an iOS developer, and the prototype is pretty much done, and the work is in the stage of :

* Improving value proposition.
* Design changes.
* Finalize Revenue Model
* Finish up the business plan.

So yes, I am looking for MBA graduates with a passion to take up ideas and see the revenue potential in it and work with me, and the clients. Another iOS developer on the team would also be great, but the priority is to finalize the business model, and get things rolling.

I know launching a startup may or may not be the fruitful, but I do believe that if we continue to work non-stop, and truly understand the value proposition and get the "best" revenue model & show it to investors (which we eventually will), things will get rolling !

I need a really smart MBA talent with a good background in marketing and finance. I am looking for talented people with a "never-stop-before-goals-are-reached" attitude. We will be partnering with grocery store retailers to deliver a product for the end users that benefits both parties greatly !

Please email me at launchstartup@gmail.com

We can discuss about the idea and I can demonstrate the prototype to you, and I would love to share ideas with the team and learn about new suggestions.
Maybe in outlook...aren't most of those problems solved by gmail? :)
Beautiful.

It does make me worry though; a phone exclusively tied/forced to only one social network is a scary idea.
Manufactoria: a DFA-building game
no, the local highway authority would not jump at the chance. They have little incentive to make roads more efficient.

There is incentive to make them safer. No one wants to be blamed for 25-car pileups. I think convincing officials that this could be done safely will be difficult.
Wouldn't the GitHub wiki pages be more appropriate for this?
The government can't really do that much to improve human rights, but they can do a lot to curtail them. The funny thing is that, while there are a lot of problems I'll get into later, the US is one of the best countries in the world when it comes to your rights against the local policeman. You have every legal right to say nothing to them other than maybe presenting your identification, you have every legal right to deny them a search unless they have a warrant, and once you're in custody, you have every legal right to shut your mouth and say nothing, and they aren't even allowed to beat you up. Any evidence that is gathered in violation of a person's civil rights is thrown out in court. Add in the freedom to express any political viewpoint whatsoever without worrying about violating some vague "hate crimes" laws and the constitutional right to own firearms, and we're at a point that most European countries would say is outright excessive in terms of personal freedom.

As I mentioned though, I don't want to whitewash the US record. Police abuses do happen far too often, the TSA is an obnoxious joke, and asset forfeiture is a very problematic principle. The FBI, CIA, and NSA can in theory do nasty things to you, but they can do nasty things to you whether or not you're American. Plus, once you've gone through the due process, the prisons are pretty fucking awful and you have to stay there for an excessive period of time. And we have a death penalty. And the drug laws are a joke.
Hacker News Protip: If you click tptacek's name, you can see his profile, which will inform you that he's a computer security professional. That's why anyone should take him seriously.

On top of that, he also has a history here of useful and insightful commentary on security issues. That's also why anyone should take him seriously.

The reason he's responding dismissively to you is probably that you keep attacking the OP for irrelevant niggles. The sort of reasoning you're employing here would lead someone who saw a speech by Albert Einstein to dismiss it by saying, "Bah, he can't even be bothered to do his hair well. Why should I think he does his research any better?" Attacking Einstein's hair does not make his ideas any less valid. If you had material objections to the OP, you'd probably get a more congenial response.
Using laws against espionage to convict Manning assumes that he is a spy without any evidence. The evidence is actually quite the contrary: spies do not release information to the public, they give it to the enemy in secret.

His isolation is also overkill. There are more humane ways to make sure that he does not escape the judicial process. But this isn't about what's right; this is about finding ways to punish him without due process.
To those so socially stagnant to not realize that Neil deGrasse Tyson wrote this for a broader audience, and who feel an intense need to "correct" him regarding details about Stonehenge: grow up.
Is code available on Github?

This seems really promising at first. Would love to try it soon but it really needs a public repo. English documentation would be a great plus too! :)
Yes, it seems like five 80" LCD panels running an animated loop would be much cheaper ($30K vs $180K), convey more information to more people, and be significantly less creepy.
Well if you use JSON, you did vote, because he created the spec.

If you've never read his book or watched any of his talks, maybe you should check them out. He never says "this is how you have to do it". He says something to the effect of 1) JavaScript is a flawed language. 2) DC has used/helped develop it for a long time 3) he has figured out a lot of least bad solutions and habits to try and for to mitigate common problems. If you don't want to follow his suggestions fine, but don't be surprised when you run into the problems that he created them to help you avoid.
It depends on how much of that documentation will survive.
Thank you very much for your response.
Specifically it seems as though using the transformations will cause my border to scale as well. And since I am using UIPinchGestureRecognizers, manipulating the CALayer's width and height properties seems somewhat conter productive.
No, it's not my point of view, it's a fact. Apple has never held the majority of smartphone market share.

And my reasoning that Apple will dominate the tablet space is because they have sold arguably the best tablet in numbers that dwarf any other vendor, or all other vendors combined. With the iOS ecosystem supporting it, the chances of another vendor usurping the iPad's lead in the next five years is unlikely.

And what has happened in the mobile space? Apple introduces a smartphone with the goal of 10% of the market. They have had year over year growth in that market, and now are in the mid 30's of share percentage. They dominate the smartphone market when it comes to extracting profit, and have one singular competitor, Samsung, who is beating them in "shipped" units.

If Apple were so unfortunate to have the tablet market follow what it has done in the smartphone market, there will be a lot of happy Apple shareholders in the future.
I feel uncomfortable watching it and thinking of the $180,000 they wasted.

E-mail is incredibly underutilized as a technology.

One could make an argument the majority of instagram's (of course not the filters) functionality could be handled by e-mail, but the "perceived need" to use apps on the smartphone that you purchased for a large percentage of your monthly income but the experience of using the app is difficult to discount.

Another point worth considering is that much of the functionality associated with Path is available in Facebook if you want to play around with settings, but for some reason Path still seems relevant.
They do have an incentive to avoid 4hour queues in people getting to work - at least when those queues mean companies start moving to other cities because of the traffic.

That's why cities are forever building new freeways, widening freeways, building bridges etc.

The cities don't get blamed for pileups in the same way that airports don't get blamed for plane crashes.
It takes so long because the GIMP developers have a long-standing tradition of telling people with requests to go jump off a cliff if the feature being requested isn't directly useful to the developers. They have a fairly typical failing in assuming that because the source is available, anyone asking for features has the ability and the time to implement those features themselves, when often that is not the case.
>...there's a situation where your project is cool enough for company to use but they won't because of GPL.

> The evidence is actually quite the contrary: spies do not release information to the public, they give it to the enemy in secret.

I trust you've read the charges against Bradley Manning and can cite where the UCMJ or the US Code sections listed say that releasing classified information to the public does not constitute espionage or is otherwise not an offense?

Anyway, yes, innocent until proven guilty. Nonetheless, there's little dispute about the facts of the case. And there's no indication that his treatment in any way exceeds or violates the regulations around the ordinary treatment of the accused. Unless you think it's unusual for accused spies to be held in maximum security?
How does gmail solve this problem?
I can agree on that.

I actually did have a blank keyboard as a teenager, and altho I type pretty fast (90+ wpm) my technique is bad: only using my index and middle finger on the right hand. I don't know why really, just got used to it and never bothered to rethink.

Anyone recognize themselves?

BTW: After reading your blog post Maxim, I ordered a Das keyboard myself. I still think it's overpriced, but hey, I guess we all need our gadgets.. dont we? :)
I'm not really familiar with the AGPL. Why is it problematic?
That post is strange regarding its use of licenses and implications, and also is probably some years old (it is hard to say, without a date / timestamp in it).

a) The GPL does not enforce "giving back" for server software, if that software is only running on servers but not provided for download. The Affero GPL [1] is meant to close this "gap".

b) Lamson 1.0, released almost two years ago [2], is actually licensed BSD/GPL, making the point of the post moot, unless it was written before the release.

Roadmap for Learning Rails - A Good Beginners Guide
I'm a big fan of Aloha. I can't wait for them to get extjs out of the system. That, combined with the fact that they include their own copy of jquery (just in case you don't have it loaded) makes the payload beyond crazy for a wysiwyg editor. If you use it, I highly suggest compiling your own minified version that does not include jquery. That will at least get the size down some, at least until the move to jquery ui is complete. Just keep in mind the license whenever you do anything with it. I'm still not convinced anyone understands how AGPL applies to publicly available js.
