The change is in NFPA 70 - 2008, also known as "The National Electrical Code."

The requirement only applies to dwellings (houses and apartments, not hotels or other commercial buildings), and only in jurisdictions which have adopted the 2008 NEC - the United States, unlike Canada does not have a national building code.

In addition, many jurisdictions have adopted the International Residential Code for One and Two Family Dwellings (aka, "IRC) which contains its own electrical requirements. While their is provision for tamper resistant receptacles in the 2009 IRC, many jurisdictions have remained on older versions of that code because the 2009 edition requires fire sprinklers in single family homes and therefore its adoption creates substantial political tension between building departments and the homebuilders whose fees fund those departments.

To put it another way, in the US, tamper resistant receptacles are not required in any non-residential structure, and because codes are adopted at the local or state level on an ad hoc basis, many dwellings are not required to conform with NEC 2008 or later versions.

Think of new editions of building codes like Windows, lots of people still use XP.
I thought this whole argument was over weeks ago?

It's now devolved into her saying he pulled the DMCA requests because he was lying all along and she holds the copyrights after all.
Despite her previous emails never hinting at that at all. And her argument to prove she owns the copyright is that the screen shot has her watermark on it?

Am I right here or am I misunderstanding?
The lack of background scheduled tasks in iOS is turning into same origin policies for JS in web browsers. Everyone gets around it with ridiculous hacks (JSONP) to the point where the restriction is meaningless and it just causes more work for devs and problems for consumers.

It is neat that people are finding these loopholes, though. Any Downcast devs reading this? Hint hint hint...
Most people interpret the job of CEO backward. When you are a CEO with employees, investors, etc your job is to balance the needs and wants of all those people ahead of whatever you might want. It is really the exact opposite of being a dictator. You can change your schedule if you do not like it only to the extent it does not significantly impact everyone else associated with the company.

> It was once a well-kept garden of intelligent discussion .... But into this garden comes a fool [quoted from the original article]

Assuming this isn't a community of those who come out of the womb enlightened, aren't most of us living in some state of foolishness?

I suppose it might be possible to sustain a community by continuously attracting new enlightened individuals, but wouldn't it be more practical to do what most societies do and teach (at least some of) the fools until they aren't fools any longer?

Sorkin also said: “I don’t want my fidelity to be to the truth; I want it to be to storytelling.” Seriously. Sorkin actually said that. He doesn’t care about the truth.

I'm pretty sure this isn't be marketed as a freakin' documentary, so what's the problem? It's entertainment people, not history class.
Hi Amir! Thanks for your kind words. You're right, there is definitely potential for user interaction of that sort, and considering those features are further down the line. I am happy so far to have published my code and made it look presentable. I look forward to seeing what you develop (iTunes integration is a great feature), but since I don't use a Mac I won't be using it. You have a great idea, and I wish you luck! :)
It depends on what mouse or touchpad you have, but I find that I don't even use Command-Tab anymore. It lacks the precision of getting to exactly the right window. Launching Mission Control via touch allows me to switch to the window I need much faster.

I hear you on the maximizing thing; I ended up finding a program called Shift (http://shift-it.en.softonic.com/mac) works very well to maximize, snap a window to just the left or right half of the screen, etc. Hope that helps!
Sleep is a Dream Come True
I'm telling you I've compared your blockify stream to my newsfeed stream it has huge gaps. The gaps are due to my friends restrictions. you might not have friends that restrict "foreign" apps (i.e. your apps access to their data). I think that's not the common case.
Yes, it is elitist, but judging someone as being not up to the standards of a community is not the same as calling them subhuman.

As for the conclusion, the argument he's making is that he has seen evidence of a bias against making these harsh judgements, and it has led to the destruction of valuable internet communities.

Glad you wrote this. I am going on 15 years of being self taught and constantly trying to learn more. I've built a whole lot in that time, but nothing has ever seen the light of day and I've never* done anything with it professionally. After much hesitation, I recently pulled the trigger and signed up for an upcoming Startup Weekend event. The hesitation comes from the thought that I will be light-years behind everyone else there, and basically won't be able to contribute at their level. This give me some confidence that I won't be a total drag on some team.

* OK not entirely true - I'm in finance, and I do quite a bit with Excel VBA - but I don't really count that as real programming, although it has served me well in my field
I think you're hitting on an important point by discussing different types of conversations. My theory (based on many years of Usenet) is that there are three basic types of online participants: "cocktail party", "scientific conference", and "debate team". In "cocktail party", the participants are having an entertaining conversation and sharing anecdotes. In "scientific conference", the participants are trying to increase knowledge and solve problems. In "debate team", the participants are trying to prove their point is right.

HN was originally largely in the "scientific conference" mode, with very smart people discussing areas in which they were experts. Now HN has much more "cocktail party" flavor, with smart people chatting about random things they often know little about. And certain subjects (e.g. economics, Apple, sexism, piracy) bring out the "debate team" commenters.

Any of the three types can carry on happily by themself. However, much of the problem comes when the types of conversation mix. The "cocktail party" conversations will annoy the "scientific conference" readers, since half of what they say is wrong. Conversely, the "scientific conference" commenters come across as pedantic when they interrupt a fun conversation with facts or "citation needed". A conversation between "debate team" and one of the other groups obviously goes nowhere.

I think the comment karma in HN encourages "cocktail party" conversation since you're as likely to get upvoted for trivial chitchat as a carefully-reasoned expert statement. (See http://news.ycombinator.com/bestcomments) Also, as I just found out, "expired link" on HN encourages quick comments rather than slowly written ones.

(And yes, I realize the irony that this is a "cocktail party" style comment of with my random opinion. I've actually considered ways of making this categorization quantitative, but it would take way too much time.)

Yup, Portal ran perfectly for me on Ubuntu ( 9.10 or 10.04 iirc) that way a few years ago. Was brilliant.

Even though I don't game anymore, this still makes me very happy. A big step for Linux on the way to becoming a first class citizen in gaming, one of the last big moats to its general acceptance.
It's a logical connection to make. The story is about travel security creating a nightmare in Israel. The TSA creates a nightmare for travelers in the US.

Ask HN: WTF is up with the lack of outrage about CISPA?
Why is the tech community being so quiet about this issue? Is it a matter of thinking that it's in someone else's hands? That it's inevitable?

How do you plan on changing this? Preventing it?

Where is the action? I don't want to read another blog post. I want to read the surge in p2p, meshnets and encryption. But all I read here are articles written for people wanting to declare success without a profit.

This and nine more CoffeeScript derivates* from people who rather like to fragment a landscape with marginal improvements instead of supporting the leading pack are the reasons that CoffeScript hasn't reach critical mass and will fail as a standard.

Model checking is a pretty cool idea, except you really need to have it built into the language rather than as an annotation or seperate system. Maintaining a seperate model just gives you two places to make typos.

I live in an older home (1955), but when we bought it in 2010 we had the original owner do electric work that had failed inspection-- as a result (and due to the local laws here), this is the only kind of socket we have.
Bottom-up and top-down are both better than the worst learning method, which is to start somewhere in the middle and just stay there.
At the end of my first year of my software engineering degree I wrote a Boggle solving program in C# using a trie. About a year later I discovered that tries are a recognised data structure and that I wasn't the first person to use one.
It seems that we need to have a conversation about truth, art, and the space between the two. Just because it happened doesn't mean it is worth telling. Just because it happened doesn't mean that it will sell. Just because it happened doesn't mean that it is art.

Benjamin Franklin probably didn't do anything with a key and a kite and a thunderstorm. Did you know? Do you care? It makes a good story so we tell it. We build the mythology of our heroes (and villains) through the best narratives that we can construct, not necessarily the most true. Aaron Sorkin is not a truth-teller; he is a storyteller. His entire purpose is to entertain and he has a knack for doing just that.[0] Hopefully he manages to do so with this film, because there are parts of Steve Jobs' life that would do incredibly well with the Sorkin treatment. Personally, I can't wait. The author of this piece is not so excited. I have some advice for him: don't watch it, particularly since you don't seem to know the difference between biography and story.

I have come to the exact same conclusion about Ruby. Finding the source of given behavior is where I tend to get the most annoyed. This is doubly so for any library which uses method_missing? or other bits of Ruby-dynamism. Yes, it can (and does) lead to terser, elegant code. But it also makes it challenging to analyze root causes, and I have become less enamored of this style as I have had to deal with it over the past few years.

In this respect method_missing? is analogous to (over)using C's preprocessors. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but...
"It will likely be a good-looking, entertaining disaster..."

If it's good-looking and entertaining, I don't see how it can also be a disaster. My impression is that the writer is using "disaster" and "not factually accurate" interchangeably.
Good point. I've been worried about Kutcher too, but I forgot how much everyone doubted Eisenberg's ability to play Zuckerberg. Sorkin proved himself; Eisenberg proved himself; hopefully Kutcher will too.

Thanks for the reminder.
My friend, the first few months are the easiest months - the ignorance is bliss months. Running a startup is enormous fun and an incredible learning experience. I have enumerated some of the stress inducing issues below. I do not mean to discourage, though everyone needs to know what they are getting into with eyes wide open,

- Not having done enough research and received proper feedback before launch and the product not taking off.

- Bending over backwards for major clients.

- Feeling enormous responsibility to your investors to pay them back.

- Making sure that you do not run out of money.

- Responsibility to your employees that you do everything you can to make sure that you will be able to pay them, and that their efforts will prove fruitful.

- Hiring the right people.

- Firing the right people.

- How you are taking a $60k/year salary, basically paycheck-to-paycheck and not being able to go to your closest friend's bachelor parties/weddings, and not being able to get your girlfriend a nice engagement ring or pay for a wedding.
On top of this, the eye tends to move from top left to bottom right. This grid layout forces the user to read left to right across the entire screen, drop down and start again in an unnatural way. The problem is amplified when scrolling.

I would suggest moving towards a standard top down list (ironically like the existing HN). I would avoid using screen grabs, as HN articles tend to be about written content.
Does this work for sites that are behind logins? Didn't see anything related to authentication but may have missed it.
Programming is hard, which is why I don't want to do it
This project is awesome mostly because you can see blogspam and linkbait immediately. There are some glitches of articles with no screenshots and the borders on images are HUGE. The github link really should open a new window as the socket connection can take a bit of time when you click back. A link to flag a post and endless scrolling/more would be great. I've used it for a few hours and I'm relieved it gets around the expired or missing link bug that HN suffers from.
There is no authentication mechanism right now. Only public sites are supported

Agreed. Too many mid-sized companies seem to think that the cloud is some magic bullet for them, but when it comes right down to it... if you have substantial but consistent traffic (which many mid-sized companies do) likely the cloud is not for you.

If you have a few dollars to throw at moving off shared web hosting, the cloud is likely for you and also if you are the next big thing on the internet, it might also be for you (until you run out of VC dollars and then have to figure out how to become profitable.. but that's a whole other story).
TL;DR use SizeUp.
why not just run arch on your mac laptop?
Absolutely love your stack and you should tell more about how you did and write a decent blog post.

And I like and appreciate the idea of improving HN: we all love HN, are addicted and know that there is room for improvement.

But did you make before you started to code any kind of design mockup? In Fireworks or Photoshop? And looked at it a few days? If not you should. It's tempting and often faster to hack and test layouts in Jade and Stylus (or HAML and SASS) but I made the experience that if doing a mockup in Fireworks and just watch and get used to it a few days you get a much better feeling of your product. After a few days you realize bad design choices, start to change and your design and UI slowly matures into something perfect. Usually this takes up to 7 to 14 days.

Current flaws:

- Headers much too small in relation to thumb size and overall layout

- I question the thumbs: do they really offer any benefit? HN articles are often more about text than great visuals and even if i's about images: you'd have just to take one dominating pic of the site and not the whole site

- Too low content density compared to HN

- When showing rankings a single column list always works better than a grid layout because the reader instantly gets who is on #1, #2, #3, etc.
I don't find the screenshots useful at all.
How do you navigate Mission Control without touching the mouse? Surely it can't be easier than cmd-tab.
Non-linear layouts (Facebook, Pinterest) are difficult to scan quickly, it requires a lot more concentration.

Most of the month (all but a few days) I've only got a 20 kbit/s connection. Let that sink in. Twenty. Kilobits. Per. Second. That's less than the voyager spacecraft (but probably a better ping).

The front page of Hacker News is 27.75KB and 7 requests.

Hacker News Two is in comparison 2.07MB and 60 requests.

Hacker News loads in 2.26 seconds.

Hacker New Two loads in 2.5 minutes.

I'm an edge case. Of all the users on Hacker News, only a handful are on sub-dial-up connections, but does all the added stuff really add so much to a website like Hacker News?
++ for being nicely documented
I am sorry, But I don't find it better than HN in anyway. Two main reasons why:

1. Too much noise, real strain to focus on each title. The reason why I say that the thumbnails as noise is because it is in no way helping me to decide whether to read an article or not. The only reason I choose an article to read is the title so anything else is mere distraction.

2. Due to the first reason,Skimming is not as easy as the original HN, which is important for all of us here.

But let this not discourage you in anyway. The good thing from what I can see from your work is, you know what you want and you know how to do it.

Thinking of an application based on this UI that you have designed might be browsing pictures in reddit.com/r/pics or imgur. Here the thumbnails of the image at the back will not be a noise, but a useful info to decide on whether to look at the picture or not.
I was at the finals with you! Funny how long ago that was :P

CoffeeScript hasn't attained critical mass? It's the 10th most popular language on github[1], over a decade younger than all the other contenders, and growing quickly.

Even if CoffeeScript was as niche as you argue, I'm not convinced that that would have any bearing on its success. CoffeeScript doesn't need a wide community to achieve success because it compiles to and is completely interoperable with JavaScript, the most popular programming language.

I felt the same about the thumbnails. Then I checked out the new articles and could easily pick out the spam (Indian Party Wear Sarees in this case). I don't think it's so useful for the top articles since most are primarily textual but it brings out an interesting use case for unfiltered content.

Seems like ages, doesn't it? Did you end up getting a position with a company down in the Bay Area for the summer? I'll be at Google and would love to meet up with some of the people from the competition again, there was certainly no lack of good conversation :)

I think we all got interviews at Addepar out of it, and one of the members from the team that had the book-reselling app ended up taking a position at Instagram shortly after, so I suppose he's working at FB in the end ;)

The follow-up was interesting though, in that there was virtually none. The whole thing was very anti-climatic, really. Still very grateful for the experience, and I'm certainly not sad to have it on the ol' resume. You planning to try again next round?
