News flash: all men, deep down, view (attractive) women as a potential means to their sexual gratification. We cannot suppress it, short of, you know, lopping it off. We also happen to respect, admire, love, and look up to a good deal of women...but that would not make a very interesting article to talk about that stuff.

EDIT: for those who don't understand what I am saying, let me clarify:

Take special note of my words above, particularly "DEEP DOWN" -- by this, I mean at the subconscious level, the id, human nature, whatever you want to call it. Yes, I can control my sex-drive like anyone else, and I don't go around raping women because I feel sexual attraction to them. Just as well, I am capable of feeling love without sexual connotations, but deep down I understand that the reason my brain loves is because it has found a worthy mate. Argue with Scientific American, not me, if you have a problem with that.
Yep. That's what I'm trying to do for something else :D

Sure, that's a valid point. However considering the HN home page is sent as raw HTML right now, there'd be much better savings by enabling gzip, reducing the home page's over-the-wire size from ~22k to ~5k. Compared to ~2.5k (from 22k to 20k) of savings from removing all 30 instances of the image tag.

No, I don't think it's a problem. I believe HTML only had symbol names because of incompatible character sets, allowing Unicode characters in ASCII and other encodings. But modern text editors and sites can use Unicode symbols just fine, why avoid them?

But what constitutes installing an app? If I sit there at a python prompt, is that "Installing an app"? If I write some applescript there and then, is that "Installing an app"? If I grab something for free from the Mac App store, is that "Installing an app"? Every one of those is a just and reasonable thing to do.

I'd even say the most clear definition, Downloading an app from an external website and executing it, is pretty clearly in the allowed list - These machines exist to demonstrate Apple computers, and Installing an app is a not entirely unheard of action after purchasing. There's a reasonable expectation that Apple could prevent it if they wanted, and that the 'harm' done to them is virtually zero - They re-image their machines all the time. So where is the boundary?

Obviously, in this case, it's where people started feeling creeped out by it... but this was by no means a secret service investigation. This was a high-school level prank, and it saddens me that we live in a world where people would take enough offense - where people are so mistrustful of one another - where people are so litigious, that federal law enforcement is called in after such.

Grabbing (or touching) a woman is often the only way to get attention in a loud bar. Sometimes males do it because it is a common tactic for approaching women (no really, research shows that if you touch a woman before you speak to her, the odds of a positive reaction are better, as counter-intuitive as it may seem).

In addition to what coderdude said, not everybody has a browser that supports custom fonts, or has custom fonts enabled, so if your site depends on custom font glyphs for navigation you could be making it unusable.

Sticking to glyphs that are part of standard Unicode should be fine - those should render no matter what font the browser happens to use by default.
That sounds like a really dull anxiety dream. Or a really nerdy porn film.

Please, tell me more about how women are systematically oppressing men. Sure, there are some areas in which women have an advantage. The life expectancy thing is likely biological. Many other apparent examples of "reverse sexism" are in fact products of the other kind of sexism - e.g., the oft-cited statistics about divorce law and custody battles - women have an advantage here because society, and the law, tend to see women as being in the domestic sphere while men are supposed to be the ones with careers. Is it sexist? yes. Does it show that sexism isn't an issue? not in the slightest.
I actually think Reddit is quite optimized and not missing out on too many users. The Reddit homepage can take on the following states:

1) As it currently is dominated by memes and linkbait articles
2) Links to actual news and good content
3) A combination of 1 and 2

Out of the 3, my guess is #1 drives the most traffic. If you're goal is to get the most traffic, then almost by definition you're trying to get popular content as the default state.
If that's the patent in question, it's so specific as to be useless.

The first claim, which all other claims depend on, only claims the invention when
1) The voting patterns are being displayed in a "swarm interface"
2) The "thickness of a line" is used for visualizing the number of votes

I don't believe that any of the modern sites use a swarm interface at all, and if someone wanted to show a swarm interface, by using something other than the thickness of a line for the visualization, you've sidestepped the patent.

It's hard to believe someone paid good money for this.
I think the same thing, until I read the comments...
Certainly but you need to consider how your UI responds to a more (or less) constrained space as the zoom changes. It's hard to implement designs that adapt to that with the tools we have right now.
Sometime's PC goes overboard. It is not a bad thing necessarily, unless abused.

One example of PC going wrong is the word "retarded" - the PC crowd thought "mentally challenged" would be a better term, even though retarded just means you are a bit slow, mentally-challenged makes it seem like thinking is an arduous task.
I work in a workplace that's mostly women, with women in leadership positions. If the women asked me to show my c--- I'd consider that sexual harassment and a sexist abuse of power. I'm fat and if someone dissed me for that, I'd also consider that a kind of harassment.

I wouldn't accept the "but she's a nerd" or "she's clueless" as an excuse. After a certain age, you are responsible for learning some politeness.
Upvote = I like this.
Downvote = This is noise/off-topic/abusive.

Thats the way it should work, and is part of what makes HN different to say Reddit. In reality, its becoming increasingly common for people to downvote something simply because they disagree with it.
Could I get a human-readable description of what this is doing? I can already connect to redis from node (and when I want to connect to redis on another server, I just create a ssh tunnel). What does this give me?
I came across this quote some time ago:

"I sincerely believe that if women study male lessons on concepts of assertion, courage, destiny, purpose, honor, dreams, endeavor, perseverance, goal orientation, etc., they would have a more fulfilling life, pick better men with whom to be intimate, and have better relationships with them."
- from Ten Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives, a book by Laura C. Schlessinger

It's just another expression that "fixing our society" goes both ways, sex-wise. But it's moving fast--where will we be in 20 years? Will My Little Pony fans lead the way? (I think they're taking themselves too seriously at this point, but who knows!) An amusing "patch" suggested by (I think it was him) a blogger moldbug is to make standardized, official lists of all the empirical "privileges" each group has (and every group has some, as the article mentioned), set up a national registry, and let people with such privileges sell them one-time-only for whatever price they can get.
You're so right, it hurts. Named entities are a hack from the past. Unicode does a better job at classifying the zillions of character across the world than any html-monkey ever will.
Definitely would violate state secrets laws. The government wants a monopoly on this kind of information and will prevent anyone else from just going out and collecting statistics/polling on their own. Look at the fit they rose when the American embassy published pollution sastitics for what they measured (which is only legal because the embassy is sovereign territory...the real reason why they block twitter!).

Touching can be classified as assault. If you're not getting a signal that you should touch someone, there's some risk in touching them.

If you get no signal that sexual touching is desired, then, most definitely, that touching constitutes assault and you can be arrested for it.

> Not sure why the standards body decided to do the opposite

I've always assumed that they were going by how designers/publishers/typographers traditionally measure things - the "the way it is done" rather than necessarily "the way that is right".

Personally I feel that only counting the content area is right (it sits right in my head), but it is sometimes less convenient in reality because of other limitations of the document and styling models (for example because sometimes know the dimensions of the outer parts as they are inherited from elsewhere). Having the option gives us the best of both worlds, assuming it doesn't get implemented oddly and cause further browser incompatibility issues.
But it's a slightly different shape.
One could argue that an upvote is more often about agreement than a downvote is about disagreement.
Grabbing and touching aren't the same thing at all.

Not sure how many times I have to write it, but I am not justifying OR condoning this behavior, I am explaining why it occurs and why one can expect for it to occur.

Yes, I too can drink myself into oblivion and not harass a single girl. Some males "harass" girls because they think it increases their chance of getting laid (unfortunately, many times it does get them laid...or maced, one of the two).

Do you look at an attractive woman and feel nothing? If so, there is something wrong with you sexually. Maybe your civilized mind is saying "that looks like a nice female I should go talk to her" but deeper down nature is working its magic and it wants you to talk to her because it ups your odds of procreation. Like I said, nature is not necessarily pretty, it just is what it is.

I played with vim first but never quite got a flow going...oddly enough I hit it off almost immediately with emacs, it was still damn confusing but I made much more progress much faster. I'm almost disappointed I didn't fall for Vim as it is always on any server I have to use and emacs muscle memory has only compounded my problem with Vim shortcuts!
For those not fancying diving into vim or emacs are there any more traditional IDE's with a way to script new behaviours and have them feel native?
I think it would be incorrect to use css to create an interactive object, a page should be 100% usable without css.
And probably font rendering is a lot faster than css rendering, though I couldn't find a similar benchmark

I don't think this would be necessary if folks ensured their X server's Screens' resolutions were configured correctly.

$ xdpyinfo | grep -A 2 '^screen #'
screen #0:
dimensions: 1920x1080 pixels (483x272 millimeters)
resolution: 101x101 dots per inch

The all X clients would know how many pixels represented a physical measurement on the screen.

I thought it was "thinking bad things but using words which people can't take offence at".
The problem is that there is no "right way", there is only "useful way". Sometimes, you need to specify the width of the content, other times, you need to specify the width of the box so that it fits with the other boxes. Personally, the way I would implement it, is have two css properties, content-width and box-width, that could not be set at the same time.
> Please, tell me more about how women are systematically oppressing men.

I never said that. I said sexism and sexist attitudes hurt men as well.

> "reverse sexism"

No such thing. There is only sexism. It is always wrong.

Only an idiot would claim sexism isn't an issue. Don't accuse me of being an idiot.

You're nitpicking. My stance is that they're both fears and they'll both result in more fear, which is counterproductive to a society that is trying to reduce sexism.

This is basically a node.js stream api compatible wrapper around the redis protocol[1]. It's important that it's compatible with node's stream api because that means you can use it with all the other streams in node -- like piping to and from a file, an http request, etc. Since it's a stream you can send large amounts of data without having to buffer as much in memory. In the case of this module only a single command needs to be buffered at a time, while it can process many tens of thousands of commands per second. The wrapper is lightweight because all it does is process the redis protocol. It could easily be adapted for an http REST interface for redis, some data shuffling within redis[2], or whatever else tacking onto the i/o capabilities of node

News flash: No, all men don't. You have a projection problem.
What software are they using for their forums? It seems like you're just begging for this to happen to you if you go with any of the open source options. They all eventually have exploits available for them (some have them all the time). As long as you know what you're doing you should always cook up your own solution for this sort of stuff even if what you come up with lacks features. One day you might be hacked by someone clever who figured out a weakness in your implementation, but at least it won't be a script kiddie with some automated method of attack.
Rendered once and cached? The cached GIF is rendered each time as well. As far as I know, it's not possible to cache a rendering. There are still calculations to do each time you want to convert the cached data into an image. The question then becomes, which calculations take longer. The calculations needed to convert the CSS into a bitmap for the screen, or the calculations needed to convert the GIF data into a bitmap for the screen. I'm betting the difference is negligible.

(If I have misunderstood some step of the rendering process, I would love to know how, or what. I don't know much about graphics processing, so I am unaware of any caches beyond what the browser maintains.)
