No, I don't want to support a bunch of little patches on top of emacs.

But it's frustrating for me, too, because I want the feature as much as anyone else. I've been making do with "(setq ns-auto-hide-menu-bar t)" which is close to the desired behavior, especially when combined with maxframe [1]. It still has the window's title bar, so it's not exactly there.

I use it like this (where super is the command key):

Webbit seems like a thin wrapper around Netty to make Netty do websockets. Unless Webbit grossly screws things up, it seems like a reasonable choice, because all the work falls to Netty, a well-known and much-used library.
> The most striking exception to this rule is horseracing, where all the ‘action’ takes place in just a few minutes, the half-hour interval between races is dedicated to sociability, and friendly interaction between strangers is actively encouraged by racecourse etiquette. In fact, our own recent research on the behaviour of racegoers indicates that the ‘social micro-climate’ of the racecourse makes it one of the best flirting environments in Britain.

This is one of the most impressive conclusions the text comes to, because though the social climate absolutely leads itself to be a great place to flirt, I can only imagine the kind of people who would hit on me at the racetrack (or someones reaction when I tell them where I met my love).

To be fair, LOOP isn't really Lisp so much as an embedded DSL for loops that exists because of how easy Lisp makes embedded DSLs.

This Week's Funding Roundup: These 12 Tech Startups Scored Over $88 Million
It's a common response to off-the-cuff benchmarks, yes, but imo a deserved one. Most peer-reviewed, published benchmarks go to considerably more effort to make sure they're comparing like to like, using settings that would be considered sensible by users of each of the technologies under consideration, etc., etc. In part, that's because you wouldn't be able to get your benchmark paper accepted to a reputable journal if you didn't do that.

Basically, benchmarking is hard, and if you threw together a quick benchmark over a weekend, there is a good chance it might not be representative.

I have never met a non-tech savvy user ever disable Javascript. Heck I've never met one that even knows what Javascript is. But a lot of tech savvy people I know do disable it mostly because of the whole "do not track" paranoia. I personally don't disable it as most sites use it and I like the functionality it provides.

Get very good with the instruction set. Get very good at gdb. Then learn about memory management and networking protocols. Look up networking libraries in C.

To start, I'd say have a good C manual (K&R), have a good book for computer systems (Computer Systems by Randy Bryant, but there are other good ones) and a good documentation on gdb. gdb is where it begins.

> Exploits do not come out of nowhere. They can't be scaled with demand.

Why not? All large software projects have flaws. Doesn't more demand for exploits mean more people are going to look for and find them?

> The fundamental moral problem with the market isn't the value being imputed to exploits; it's the lack of value imputed to resilient software.

I think it's both. People shouldn't be selling exploits to entities that will use them offensively. And vendors largely don't care about security as much as they should.

not a joke at all. A regex you use in 'ed' command mode, you can use directly in vi after typing ':'
I never made any heavy use of 'vi', but I can use it because I know a little 'ed'.
Conversely, if one knows 'vi', it's easy to use 'ed' when one needs a tiny edit and doesn't want the whole screen to be filled. Even though it's just a moment, I find it distracting, especially in the ssh case I mentioned where I expect to login over ssh and suddenly I would need to change the whole screen just to make a trivial edit; 'ed' is a real timesaver there because it hardly disrupts the workflow.

I guess the benefits of 'ed' depend on your line of work though. For a systems administrator, I would make it a job-interview question.
You for Sale: Mapping, and Sharing, the Consumer Genome
As a person who spends all day looking at contemporary art as my job, everyone in my field considers this lawsuit totally insane. The way Sarah Morris's audience (and she has a very big one) approaches her work has absolutely nothing to do with the way Lang's work is approached. Unless origami masters are using terms like "endgame", "the death of painting," or "the history of abstraction."

Fine art is really about invisible distinctions between existing objects, the difference between Duchamp's urinal and any other urinal. Contextualizing something in a contemporary art museum, even a much more direct appropriation than this, radically transforms it. In my view, applying intellectual property violations to contemporary artworks is at least as insane as any of the software patent shenanigans we have seen. No one is happening upon Morris's work and thinking she is a great origami designer.

Thoughts while Learning Ruby on Rails
Not a technical post, but instead geared towards individuals trying to learn how to program, and how easy it can be to give up.
I tried Rails Apps Composer - specifically one of the example apps - https://github.com/RailsApps/rails3-bootstrap-devise-cancan - and it didn't work as advertised.

It seems to have added some of the gems to the gemfile, but for others I had to remove them and re-add them and go through setup manually. Specifically, Devise & CanCan.

Do these composers just add the gems to the Gemfile then you have to configure each manually? If that's the case, I can do that myself.

I was under the impression that these would take you to some 'baseline configuration', then you tweak it from there.

E.g. Once I roll it up, I should have a login screen with an admin and 'dummy' user created that I should be able to login with immediately. Some basic authorizations setup, etc. But that's not how it works.

Maybe I was expecting too much? If it doesn't do that though, then what's the point?

I even had to re-install the Twitter bootstrap to get it to work.
Which is more repeatable but less representative. IMO a non-shared EC2 instance is probably the way to benchmark (if you can drive enough load to saturate it).
I agree, but does EC2 have non-shared instances?

I don't mean to be that guy but this kind of comments are getting on my nerves lately. If you don't have something to contribute just don't write an comment. I mean think about your comment and ask yourself if it helped someone. I would be surprised if you think yes.

A hacker is not a hacker because of the hardware he/she uses. It's not the books he/she reads. It's about being unconventional, using things you are productive with, finding out what would make things better and you name it. It's not about being not clean and reading Donald Knuth's books.

Please either stop writing such things or simply go away.

I run NoScript because it provides the full feature set of FlashBlock, plus extra stuff. It's the easiest way to protect myself from flash/acrobat reader/java 0-day exploits, and not running tracking JS/ad JS is an extra perk on top of that.

This is the exact feeling I get when I have to work with a Windows PC. They are cheap, feel like a brick of plastic and are not a bit what they promise to be. But I found a solution. I just stopped using them. I hate them and I hope not to touch one again in my life.

So maybe you should consider leaving Macs and Apple devices alone to have a happier life I guess.

Ask HN: Best hardware for Ubuntu?
I'm getting into Ubuntu, and read on several forums that OSX Lion borked any chances of dual booting on a MacBook. What are my best bets for hardware (preferably laptops)?
1. Effectively blocks all forms of annoying advertisement.

1.5. As well as all those stupid social featu... sorry, bugs.

2. Makes pages load and render faster on my already-slow-by-now 100Mbps net.

3. Browser uses several times less RAM.

4. More privacy.

And you lose nothing as it is very easy to whitelist domains using some kind of plugin.

"Could this be the beginning of mobile diabetes monitoring?"

As so many people above have stated, no, you moron. We've been monitoring blood sugar on the go for the past 30 years.

I've got Type 1 diabetes...and my current meter is smaller than the one shown here. I can plug it into my Mac via USB to download and visualize the data (& can control my insulin pump via bluetooth using the meter).

The only benefit with this particular iPhone-compatible meter would be enhanced, immediate visualization of results. Which might be easier to get, and might not, given the inconvenience of having to remove an iPhone case and plug in the meter. (Not to mention other issues - what if my iPhone's batteries are dead? Will it still work?)

Unfortunately, this product reminds me of 5 years ago, when someone would announce a new toaster, and the tech crowd wouldn't be impressed...unless it was a Bluetooth toaster. We're so focused on it being the hot new thing (it's compatible with iOS! Oooh!!) that we ignore the fact that there's nothing revolutionary being presented here.

The way I see it, this doesn't really change anything in terms of treatment. If it's a more accurate meter, great - sell based on that. Not on the bogus "we're taking blood glucose monitoring mobile" claims.

Due to a long, sad history of exploited security defects, I only run javascript from authors I consider both trustworthy and competent, and who have useful behavior to add to my browsers. Basically if you don't even realize your documents are unusable without scripting, I can't assume you're smart enough to avoid attacks via malicious third-party code.

It's also a good way to find out who cares about the web, which is eroding as authors give up publishing semantic markup at stable URLs in favor of content entombed within client/server style apps.

I'm not so sure about this one. Doctors generally need the BG records to be appended to the patient's ongoing records, so they can spot both macro- and micro-trends.

Facebook to pay $10 million to settle suit
I wouldn't imagine that many tech-savvy folks disable JS very much these days. I think most people can appreciate how far it's come and what kind of role it can play. I understand the security concerns but I think the pros greatly outweigh the cons. I could be completely wrong though.

In regard to development, it really depends on the kind of development you're doing. In most cases, just make sure the functionality degrades gracefully if a user has it disabled.

If you're building larger apps where JS plays a major role, let the user know they should allow JS to use it. IMO, unless you plan on making sure the app degrades completely this is the way to go.
I'm curious: how much of the web would you say is broken when you browse this way? Is there a difference between 'consumer' sites and 'pro' sites?

Most corporate programmers would have no idea who would buy such a thing or what the right price is. Making that market clear and making transactions easy should increase production.

I use RequestPolicy to block requests to other domains, which often prevents various JavaScript files from being loaded. This is done in order to impede companies like Google, Facebook and others tracking my web browsing on pretty much every website in existence. Third parties don't need to be informed of the pages I visit.

A side benefit is that many annoying ads are blocked, in exchange for some pain when visiting new sites with separate domains hosting their CSS, images and other assets.
Microsoft Preps Its Own Tablet
This ultra-thin laptop craze makes me wonder about durability. For instance, I usually type on an IBM Model M keyboard at my office desktop, or a similar Unicomp at home. Try as I might, I am accustomed to a fairly violent, intense, high-speed mode of typing and can't be as soft on laptop keyboards as their fragile design would like. It makes me wonder if I would totally destroy one of these Air devices in a month or so. It is one reason why I have tended to favour Lenovo's somewhat blandly traditional, but very durable designs.
You can't argue against that type of improvement (not trying to addict people), but he is saying more than that.

I was commenting on the way the article was written, and like I said, the subculture, which I find to be something like a gen-y technological adaptation of traditional elitism, as much as the content.

Sure, we might as well continue refining our app consuming experience, but at a certain point you might look outside of your fine app dining establishment and notice how many malnourished kids are standing around.

In other words, once you get to a certain level of refinement and convenience, you should realize that there are more substantive problems.
Twitter Mutual Followers and Unfollows - A Quick Hack
I searched for .rugby. One is the IRB (the main governing body of rugby basically, which is understandable).

Their site basically says "we're going to buy tlds to make money off".

Vortex and PullThePlug used to be some of the really good ones. If someone wants to learn how to exploit software, these games are a really good start.
i find it highly annoying if pages show different content on the same url. many bad sites with javascript do not update their url.

javascript is often used for no apparent benefit. my favourite (or shall I say anti-favourite) are websites that, when I click on an image thumbnail darker the main site, show some animation and then showing the bigger image. I have experienced it many times that disabling js would directly serve me the image and do so much quicker.

some online store I use pops up details for items when I mouse over. each time changing mouse focus. I can not get a simple list with all the details to use my browsers search function with. it also has no pagination but autoloads more items on the bottom. if I revisit the page (eg after looking at an image) I have to start at the beginning again.

javascript allows website to screw with my copying. hover the mouse on a Google result, the status bar shows the proper target. rightclick and copy to get some redirection shite instead.

phew, where do I stop...

disabling js also implicitly removes a lot of advertising, pop-up windows, always scrolling bars. when I have to use someone else's computer I often cannot understand how they stay sane.

Google steals my focus, I use backspace to navigate "back". on Google that leads to me removing characters on the search and the search automatically updating and adding more pages to the history to navigate back through.

javascript often leads to sites eating my CPU. I value my battery life and CPU temperature.

I use reddit a lot on a unreliable connection. I often happily vote, just to see later that javascript pretended my votes counted while in reality they never arrived at the other end.

javascript can be great for thing but it gets abused so much that disabling made me enjoy the web much more. if something does not work, well, chances are I was procrastinating anyways and won't miss anything important by closing the tab. I did not install flash for the same reasons.

if I have to enable js for something it is two keystrokes (in opera). I can also enable it per site very easily.
Care to share #19?
Introduction to Statistics (ST101) by Sebastien Thrun, Udacity
In General I would say that the "marketing layer" of your site should be accessible without javascript.

Once a user registers and logs in to your web application I believe it is fair to require them to enable javascript in order to proceed.

However, if you don't need to create a full blown javascript web application then I recommend allowing your javascript to gracefully degrade so users can still use the site. In this case javascript best used to "enhance" the experience but shouldn't destroy the experience if it's disabled. Hope that helps.

Also, keep in mind that this also depends on the organization your working for. In the case of government websites with strict accessibility guidelines, sites need to work without javascript enabled because screen readers for the visually impaired have a hard time viewing dynamically generated content.
>how concerned should I be about all my functionality existing without JS?

If something seems worth using and it requires JS to function correctly, I'll go ahead and enable JS. Unless you have projects in mind along the likes of jsFiddle, I don't think you have much to worry about.

As for why: it's nice to keep my laptop quiet and power-efficient when I'm simply browsing (especially if I'm not plugged in), a task that shouldn't be resource-intensive; it's an easy way for me to prevent potential malware when I'm using Windows.
