* Extended friend declarations

* Explicit virtual overrides
Aren't the "speculators" a bit of a boogeyman? Nobody complains when the speculators provide economic benefit (which studies say they do).

Besides the general market efficiencies that speculation has been shown to provide, sometimes the speculators drive prices down very sharply in anticipation of commodity devaluation. No one ever seems to complain about that.
You only have the type one word correct, and they make sure one word is readable so with some practice you can easily recognise which word is the key-word.
how is this not good? it's exactly how "seo" became an everyday term...
You're getting use of Facebook for free. If you want a cut of their revenue, why shouldn't they charge you for access?
Tiny feature in iOS 6 will change everything
I realize this is a problem and have seen this info-graphic before, but it makes sense for power consolidate into a few hands. At a certain point the marginal cost of buying a few properties becomes lower for a group of people so they just buy. Meanwhile the small guys realize that they are better off it they get bought out (they realize they can't be a big guy) so they go with the best offer.

It sucks for 'us' consumers, but from the perspective of companies trying to make the most money possible, it makes perfect sense.
OK, GMail drag and drop issue turned into a bug report :)
Unfortunate LinkedIn "top news" story
The 'inventory' they refer to is ad inventory.
No, not me.
I only used this handle on HN because the one I wanted was taken.
For those of us with gmail addresses it's pretty strongly linked to our identity too.

Anyone with access to my google history including my email could tell much more about me than my facebook data; for starters they could easily find out my home address.

The real issue is that I just trust google more than I trust facebook. Facebook has had a lot of privacy issues in the past, while Google seems to have avoided them. Google is run by adults, facebook is run by children.
Yes, I thought this particular link was perhaps not the best way to present the work, mainly because the interesting part is actually this: "We accomplished this with a combination of Machine Learning, hashing methods, keyspace reduction tactics, and taking advantage of an overall limited number of captchas. Specifically, Stiltwalker goes head to head against reCAPTCHA'S audio captcha system and defeats all but a sliver of it's challenges."

On the other hand, it looks like they provide a corpus (http://www.dc949.org/projects/stiltwalker/stiltwalker-corpus...) [1.5 GB!] that you can still use to run the program.
>That's why people are leaving.

Are that many people really leaving Facebook?
Google's captcha system is horrid. I've mentioned this to people on the accessibility team but to no avail. They used to have a wheel chair icon next to the bloody scrambled text. I taught a computer class to seniors and it was painful watching them deal with the account sign up process (also, I thought it was insulting asking a mobile senior to click on the wheel chair icon ... to the designer ... FU!). Clicking on the wheel chair would give audio that barely made any sense to me. The whole process was stupid.

Like many others, I can barely get through their captcha service. I'm actually happy people circumvented it. Maybe someone will think it through this time around.
I'm not buying it. This is the reason always given, and in real life I've not come across this as the actual reason. 99% of the time it is lack of staff and will not lack of "We don't know how to make the adjustments to make it work."

I've also seen universities with faculty and staff still using IE7 not because of infrastructure requirements, but just because nobody had come around to upgrade because they hadn't bitched loudly enough.
Back in the heyday of the Cray 2, I randomly wondered what could be done if the total processing power of a (then) supercomputer was thrown at providing a user interface. What nuanced details could be achieved? Today, we see the result (iPad 2 ~= Cray 2), brought into sharp relief with this article.
I think you're confusing price inflation with currency devaluation.

If everything in Ruritania is "worth" 10% of what it was, then nothing has changed. It's only foreign goods that have become more expensive, and your exports have become cheaper.
7 Attributes of a True Entrepreneur, Young or Old
I fail to see how Go is "unsuitable" for even the pro use case.

Go could do a recording type application with minimal guaranteed latency just fine, and the GC won't stop it doing so.
yeah, that was something we struggled with when designing this architecture. The problem is that you don't necessarily know which subviews can be held onto and which are no longer needed, so the only way to generically handle the situation is to destroy all subviews when a parent view needs to be rerendered. This sound horrible and inefficient, I know, but our way to deal with it has been to be very careful about what triggers a rerender.

Views state exactly which attributes on their model should trigger the rerender when they change, and no others. If you have a very high level view which has a sizeable tree of subviews underneath it, then its subviews will probably be the ones actually displaying data and that it will essentially just be a 'composite' view and will never rerender.

Views which bind to collections (eg: Lists) have special logic for adding and removing subviews without rerendering all of them.

This truly doesn't really matter. It's not as if extroverted socially amiable people always make the best decisions.
He isn't speaking of reCAPTCHA but google's nearly impossible to read captchas that take way too much time to decipher.

If you'd like to see it you can usually get it by putting in a bad password to a gmail account too many times (though I don't know if that has other consequences).

Edit: Here is an image example http://www.techian.com/wp-content/uploads/captcha.png
You did not misunderstand me, but you misunderstand how SSL in the context of HTTP is used and what CAs offer for sale. Please see the video I linked in my original post.
Brought to you by the same crowd that passed the "cookie law" that requires user opt in for any cookies - even if it is storing something as trivial as a session ID for the duration of one visit.

These legislators seem to be regulating what they do no understand.
Erm, they already did that. Well, they refused to pay the balance of all the foreign deposits when their banking system collapsed. The problem is that the country of Iceland no longer has this previously large sector in their economy, so the total economic pie was actually smaller, so they had to find some way to fairly apportion the pain from people's standard of living shrinking. And more importantly do it in a way that didn't cause a lot of unemployment that would shrink the economy even more.
Buick Verano with More Power
Now Buick has made an announcement of the 2013 Buick Verano Turbo luxury sedan that can perform and have better durability for the users.
You say that as though it's a moral argument independent of other factors.

Do you really believe that to be the case? If so, why should you disregard other factors like why people got into debt in the first place or how much savers had to sacrifice in their own lives to achieve their savings?
Programmatic JavaScript Templating with buildr
Doesn't the license granted by SfY to Maya's parents include a 'peaceful enjoyment' clause ?
Such clause should hold them harmless of any claim of 3td party patent infringement. And if the infringement can't be cured, SfY should offer them a replacement solution at no cost.
Strange they don't use reCAPTCHA for this.
Oh those, yeah they are very hard to decipher.
"...The police and security services are concerned that criminals and terrorists are increasingly evading detection by using social media and online gaming sites to communicate with each other..."

of course they do - because the terrorists and the criminals have the brains and the survival instinct of a peanutbutter sandwich!
Nitpick, when you say "When central banks target inflation (say 2%) and the economy is growing around 2% (thus 2% deflation) they acctully produce 4% inflation in real terms"

You mean "actually produce 4% inflation in nominal terms"
You're being very unspecific about who these "speculators" are, and lumping a huge group of people and companies into one bucket.

Saying that the financial sector provides no benefits to society is ill-judged, but saying that everyone should be absolved of wrong-doing just because the sector as a whole provides some benefit is equally ill-judged.
> but could you write an "AAA" video game in it?

Perhaps not, but an extremely large percentage of commercial indie games are written in managed languages.
I have the same question. So far a combination of pip + virtualenv + fabric has been more than sufficient for my deployment requirements.

Is there any inherent advantage of using buildout instead?
I found that annoying too when signing up with Twitter, if I knew I would still have to create a username and provide an email address I would have skipped signing in with Twitter.
There is no irony, because they are completely different things.

You think that if a government decides that its citizens should be granted extra privacy protections from corporations and individuals, then it's only right that they grant the same protections from law enforcement?

I guess it's also ironic that my government prevents McDonalds from locking me up, but will lock me up themselves if I commit a crime?
Pretty sure I don't have 99% accuracy at solving reCAPTCHAs. Perhaps it's become a CAPITCHA, Completely Automated Public Inverse Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart...
Discussion from two days ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4099751
There are two issues here:

1. He's been given too much work for one person, and they all seem to be have the same priority. I'd be discussing this one with management, try to stay for at the most 12 months to get experience, and if nothing changes make a leap to another job.

2. He can't refactor the code base. Not even if he adds unit tests.

It's actually point 2 that concerns me the most. The best that he can do is just do some unit tests for every function of the code that he changes to ensure that it doesn't break any other aspect of the code.

Apart from this, not much can be done. Unless he can move on to another role, or perhaps document the code structure or something, then all he can do is jump ship once a suitable amount of time has been had. Sucks, but it happens :(
Awesome, that's nice and straightforward. If you could improve the audio quality/remove noise, then it could make for an entertaining web service. You could go so far as making a browser plugin (for more irony; in Chrome) which would auto submit the audio file and enter the text for people.
Well, when 40 years of falling/stagnant real wages have made "living high on credit" the only way to maintain decent, humane lifestyles and created a debt-deflation crisis, at some point you have to halt the pseudo-morality play. You can either accept mass default, a debt-jubilee, currency inflation, or put whole continents into debt-peonage for their mostly-unwilling participation in leverage-driven asset bubbles.
Yes, I just want a streamlined incognito mode that (a) automatically activates when I look at facebook and (b) remembers my login credentials.

Actually you wouldn't need it to be specifically targeted at facebook, you could target it at any domain you like.
I'd wager that your sgi workstation drew considerably more than 10 watts though. That's why people get so excited about these things, that and the form factor.

The other thing is the hardware accelerated video decoding, watching 1080p h264 with just 10 watts is undeniably impressive.

EDIT: I have reason to believe the sgi pizzaboxes cost somewhat more than $74 as well, even 80s dollars.
And yet there are sound manipulation tools developed in Java and .NET...
I once went to a theatre where the projectionist came out and announced that they had just broken a lens (apparently they had the largest lenses in town at the time) and couldn't project the film as they wanted to. They offered a refund, but for those who stayed, let us vote on what to do: use a smaller lens and see the film normally but smaller, or use the proper size lens but put up with 3-4 minute pauses every 20 minutes. Everyone stayed, and we chose the latter (who wants to see a small movie in a theatre?), and I don't think it was the wrong choice, but I learned that changeovers are not like commercial breaks: some of them are in really inconvenient places in the film, plot-wise!

I might be misunderstanding something about cinema projection, but how does a broken lens lead to 20-minute segmentation? The only things I can think of are perhaps it has some sort of cooling mechanism (I know the bulbs do emit massive quantities of heat) that needed a chance to cool off, or they were somehow playing it on a different projector which couldn't handle a full film-reel?

Certainly a more interesting experience than the few glitches I've encountered including "Yes, we know you've been complaining since the 3rd minute of playback that we had the aspect ratio wrong, but we're only going to fix it now, 70% of the way through the film"
Yup. At the last two DjangoCons in the US, if you got up on stage you basically had a sea of glowing Apple logos staring back at you.
Watch Rock of Ages Online
The Watch Rock of Ages Online film adoptation is by Justin Theroux, Chris D'Arienzo, and Allan Loeb which is voiceoverd by Russell Brand. Cinematography is by Bojan Bazelli and edited by Emma E. Hickox. This film is distributed by Warner Bros. under New Line Cinema, Material Pictures, and Offspring Entertainment studio which is due to be shown in theaters on June 15, 2012.
Check out abstract interpretation and Galois connections. These require a different kind of mechanical manipulations than simple algebra. I wonder if there is a gamification to be found in this direction.
Iceland was one of the countries that was hurt the worst by the financial crisis, remember the joke "What's the capital of Iceland? About a buck fifty". But since then its done very well recovering. To quote a blog:

Iceland did almost everything right. They stiffed the bank creditors to avoid aggravating the moral hazard problem, just like the textbooks recommend. In the eurozone the bank creditors are being bailed out. They relied of fiscal policy to address S/I and debt issues, and let monetary policy address AD, just as the New Keynesians were recommending in the 1990s. In the eurozone they combined tight money with reckless deficits. And now Iceland is growing fast and the eurozone is stagnating.

Using Schema-less in Django with Postgres
Well I don't like the word 'devaluation'. A lot of comentors just go 'Well lets devaluate away balbalb better exports blabla' is very unreflectiv talk. Many of the people that call for devaluation do not want to set the price of the currency to what it is worth, they just want devalution 'because it boosts exports' these are the people that want to have inflation all the time and think its a good thing.

Im very much against that, the productivity norm (what is discribed in the less then zero book) would acctually produce devlation most of the time. If you want it in the 'proper' terms it would mean just setting a constant MV and let Py jump around as much as it wants.

But generally I agree with out, the post is on to something. Specially about defaulting. It is better to default, start fresh. This way the people that badly invested get punished and you get the chance (see iceland) to implment a more modern govermnet (iceland got a new constitution).
Yes right. I will change it. Thx.
Sure, but he doesn't say that self interest is or should be the only interest, only that markets and economic activity work best when self interest and the interests of society align.

Adam Smith wasn't a free market fundamentalist in this respect, much as the fundies would like to make out. He was very much in favour of regulation.

I like this:

"..The proposal of any new law or regulation of commerce which comes from this order [businessmen and traders], ought always to be listened to with great precaution, and ought never be adopted till after having been long and carefully examined, not only with the most scrupulous, but with the most suspicious attention."

SOPA and ACTA anyone?
Whether the existence of the welfare state in the first place is good or not is an entirely different argument; one that I'm not going to get into.

My point is that when governments say that the best short-mid term solution to the debt crisis is to cut benefits and raise taxes on pensioners they are either lying or crazy.
And thus Stephen Elop becomes the Trojan Horse of modern era.
Or, it's A/B testing.

The Atlantic is in the content business, and in case you hadn't heard, that space is having its lunch eaten. It's part of the job to produce content and figure out how to have it read. That involves playing around with things.

I don't really find it reprehensible that people write and then promote their own content, whether that's music, movies or the written word. What else should be done? Establish centralized "distribution" centres? Wait a minute...

Absence of terrorism doesn't imply absence of self-defense, so any point you might think you have, you don't. And hey, maybe that's just because Noam Chomsky thinks about the things he says; might want to try it yourself sometime.
Two points:

1. Notwithstanding that language, it's an individual right. See Heller.

2. Militias were, almost exclusively, the province Of the individual states. There was not until relatively recently a standing federal army. The point was to keep arms in the hands of individuals.

The Bill of Rights is a check on large centralized government. It's the whole point. Don't forget that these guys had just been through precisely such a revolution. There are some pretty striking quotes from Thomas Jefferson directly on point.
> but how does a broken lens lead to 20-minute segmentation?

I think a "proper" analogue theatre has two projectors. With the films split into reels, one reel is played through one projector, and then when it's time to switch to the next reel, the projectionist cues it up on the second projector, and then switches between the two. Like a DJ mixing records, I suppose.

So if one lens is broken, they need to stop the film, feed in the second reel, then carry on playing. Hence the 20 minute break.

I may be wrong about this. Other commenters seem to be former projectionists; I'm just some guy who's seen Fight Club ;)
As a developer supporting IE7, I definitely see this feature as a powerful release valve for frustrated developer. A little way of management to say to the dev team, "we understand your pain"

I wasn't arguing that you have to like it. The argument was "if it works, then it's at least one answer". Saying it's never the answer is disingenuous.

>It's so trivial to work around this that I'm stunned they're even bothering to implement it.

This does not matter one iota. People have been spied upon for ages with things that are even more trivial to work around.

Also, that it's trivial to some means nothing, if it's not trivial for others, or if they are not bothered. Can you guarantee that your grandmother or friend will also "work around" this --and other such measures? You don't really believe that they can get information about you only from YOUR system?

Lastly, even if its trivial to bypass and useless, it raises the Overton Window. Society accepts that --already an unthinkable level of surveillance 2-3 decades ago--, and they'll come up with something more intrusive next time.

Plus, they make the laws. If they can get away with that one, they could also get away with outlawing "working around it", and all related tools.

In that case, they don't even need to "break" Tor to get people. They can execute some warrant search to your house (for whatever reason), or even a routine laptop search at the airport, and arrest them if they see such a tool MERELY installed on it.
Raganwald's Nifty Fifty
You've got it exactly dalke.

I'm not exactly raging against how it is now, since anything on our domain gets a big (hard earned!) credibility bump from many readers, so we do have an advantage.

My only complaint is that if I have a smaller personal site, I can write an article, then submit it somewhere relevant and with a title that fits, at a time of my choosing. On the other hand, if FP writes some great article about Australia, I can't post it to /r/australianPoliticsSubreddit with an Aussie slang title at 8am AUS time.

Oftentimes I see users submit our articles with these really spammy linkbait titles (presumably for karma?) and then they die an instant death in the new queue, even if the content would've probably been fine at 9am on a Monday with a reasonable title. Now if we'd have had a fair shot and they'd have beaten us to the punch, that's a different story =)

In the scheme of things it's not a huge deal, and even I can't think of a system that would allow this without it being abused, but it is a bit of a frustrating double standard.

> Duplication of module dependencies is also tedious and error-prone.

You can combine these with RequireJS as well. Instead of:

define(['a', 'b', 'c'], function () {
var a = require('a');
var b = require('b');
var c = require('c');
...
});

You can instead just do:

define(['a', 'b', 'c'], function (a, b, c) {
...
});
Well, happy birthday. Looking forward to many more decades of good, thoughtful comments on whatever medium exists for hackers.
To expand on my argument, if you have to use IE6 or IE7 because your company says you have to, then that's a restriction you have to live with while at work. It's akin to someone complaining that they can't stop off for personal shopping while they're on the clock and being paid mileage.

You're free to do whatever you want on your own personal time. You don't have to shop online while you're at work (and it's a huge security risk to do so), so complaining that it's inconvenient doesn't really fly.
