Non-native here.

These composed verbs, whose meaning depend on the modifiers, are definitely confusing.

You can go a long way without mastering them, and their meaning (assuming there's only one) isn't always easy to infer from the roots. Think of getting off, for example.

Some of the combinations are still not part of my passive vocabulary[1], and most are not part of my active vocabulary, because I can usually get away with synonyms.

For this scenario, "log in" and "register" offer the best syntactic contrast, and should be favored, IMO. "Sign in" and "sign up" require more thinking. Pet peeve of mine, actually.

[1] There was a vocabulary depth study posted here on HN a while ago, I was at the 95th percentile of non-native speakers, equivalent to the median of natives of my age.
You know, you could both still do it. Or you could just build on the work that's been done for you. Looks like nobody's committed for nearly a year.

Not saying you are wrong but I usually don't need to stop and think when I see "login" but I always do whenever I see something else. English is kinda easy to understand, even a "pull" or "push" sign on a door is easy to understand but it doesn't get easier than having the handle only on one side of the door. I'd apply the same logic to "login", using whatever everyone is using even if it's not correct or making the most sense.

Price-per-x forces users to think about how much x they use. This is only a good idea if your users (a) need x or (b) are already hooked on x (say, by a couple of years of free x).
How Hackers Can Hack Facebook Accounts
From the early comments I think I linked the concept of being downvoted to "karma" too strongly.

This was because the Hacker News Guidelines state (http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html):
Resist complaining about being downmodded. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.

My assumption is that people had read this and largely obey the guidelines.
An objective review is an oxymoron. All opinions are subjective by their very nature.
Ask HN: Which matter more - happy client or happy end user?
Your the in charge of making a creative product at the request of a client or manager. This is your situation (simplified for design but it works for code as well).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wac3aGn5twc

What do you do? Give the client/manager a hard time for the sake of the end user or just take it easy and do what they say (while getting paid hourly)?

Remember, the client really love their ideas and believes they know best.

Note: If it does end up like this in the end, you would be completely embarrassed if someone found you you were a part of the creation of this product.
It's not poor form. The Hacker News Guidelines state (http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html): Resist complaining about being downmodded. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.

It is poor form to not abide by the house rules.
I second rock climbing. One thing that's great, specially at the beginning, is that it plays with your survival instincts (everyone's afraid to fall and die), so you really don't have time to think about work or whatever. Just give it a try a couple of times, and then make your own judgement about it.

But you may also want to invest on something that cultivates your discipline. If you have enough discipline, you can easily force yourself to cut off from the internet, work or whatever so IMHO this is a fundamental step.
The best way to push the adoption of GPG is through a HTML5 crypto API that would include it. A social network or email service that doesn't work in the browser would be inaccessible from cyber-cafés or from work (two of the most popular accesses to the web in developing countries).
Do they though? As a frequent reader of his blog, and related blogs I have always thought they read as someone who values the time Apple spends designing their product, which is why when Google release a product that is similarly well designed he values it too.
Exactly my thoughts - I'm very willing to fund projects with leaders and teams that have a strong history of delivering. I threw in for Pebble because I knew the team had experience delivering product and working with design and manufacturing.

This is also why I'm entirely unwilling to fund the enormous number of gaming projects led by first-time game developers, full of wild-eyed wonder and promises of the sun and stars. I want to help great people do great things, not pay so a completely green newbie developer/designer/artist/whatever can cut their teeth flailing about.
I don't think there's anything wrong with making a website for your school. As you are not a "commercial programmer", your client is NOT a "commercial client", therefore you are (as per today) a hobby programmer and your client will like whatever you will make them (for free).

I agree in principle, but where do schools fit in your picture? Schools should teach you the meaning of things and then, only if the available meanings don't fit your reality, then people should recur to "agreement".
I like to think that Shakespeare (or Dante, in my language) words weight more than FB posts to define the meaning of things ;-)
I think he's suggesting that terms like the "US propaganda machine" are, to use a technical term, "bullshit", in the sense that there are a great deal of competing interests and players in the news market in the US, as well as various competing interests in politics. Talking about a machine makes it sound like you're talking about one centrally controlled system that in reality does not exist.

That's not to say there aren't problems with the news industry in the US and elsewhere, but it's not some giant conspiracy either.

Non-GPL licenses such as MIT and BSD are very popular in realms such as iOS programming.

FreeBSD is also still very popular. The decline in popularity of FreeBSD would be more so to do with the rise in popularity and maturity of Linux and packaged Linux distributions.
Should I buy a Gooseberry?
I know you are kidding, but man, the algorithms are actually still really bad. I bought one of those Amazon Kindles.. the low end model that displays an ad when the thing is on standby. Every other ad is for some sort of women's hair care product or service.

The only really girly thing on it is a Jane Austin novel. I mean, Jesus. One Jane Austin novel and suddenly I'm the sort of chap that has his nails done?

Of course, it could be amazon being really clever. I mean, sure, they aren't going to make much off the ads, but how many dudes will pay the extra $40 for the ad-free kindle if the ad kindle, when it's off, shows ads that make other people think the thing is loaded up with 'twilight' novels?
@zanny: A lot of the action in the brain seems to take place at the synapses. These are much smaller structures, and a useful brain scan will need to make precise measurements of the strength of each synapse. I need to study this more closely, but at the moment, I think these measurements maybe impeded by the uncertainty principle.

The problem with "fixing" the user-agent string is that making it easier to pass/use only means web-developers will find it easier to continue to abuse it.

In an ideal world web-developers should be testing if individual pieces of functionality exist rather than inferring what is supported based on the browser.

I think JS does a fairly good job of allowing developers to test for functionality, unfortunately CSS does not. I am well aware that it is meant to "fail gracefully" but to a lot of developers they want to supply alternative looks where functionality isn't available and CSS doesn't lend itself to that.

So you wind up inferring CSS support from JS support which is just as broken as inferring JS support from the browser's version/name/platform.
Fair enough; I suppose it is the tech press who are dropping the ball here.
Personally, I don't care if I'm downvoted. Given that I don't usually say incredibly stupid things here, when I'm downvoted it is almost always a temporary phenomenon (most often it seems like fanboy kneejerk downvoting because I said that whatever company/product they love might not be perfect) that eventually corrects itself, so asking about it wouldn't really serve any purpose.

I have to admit that when people do say incredibly stupid things (and not just things I disagree with, but really stupid/unhelpful comments), I love it when they complain about the downvoting in a subsequent post because then I can downvote them twice. I'm not sure if that is proper HN etiquette or not, but I'm guilty of it.

Desperation forces Nokia to cut Lumia price in half
Speaking as a fellow (?) South African, albeit younger (too young to have been involved in that conflict) I feel it's worth pointing out that their drifting apart may very well be by choice, or rather: simply not making an effort to stay in touch.

In high school I had two teachers who were involved in the bush war or 'spent time on the border' as it is often referred to, both of them clearly very scarred by their experiences. One of them outright shell shocked.

I'm guessing that there may be some level of self preservation in leaving experiences like that in the past, reconnecting with your life and getting on with it.
The arrow keys are usually at the right of the keyboard, next to the mouse, which makes playing with two hands awkward. You also need to move the hand on the keyboard to push pretty much any other key, which makes it difficult to do other actions (reload, open inventory, sprint, etc.)

Of course the better solution is to give the player the choice...
They forgot connect / disconnect which is easier to translate than anything with 'log' or even 'sign'.

This is going to look like a rant. In a way it is, but I am honestly trying to help you, not just in this issue, but also in getting help in general. Bear with me.

OK, so it looks to me like you didn't actually answer the questions I asked. In particular, I asked:

> * What is the first command you're running?
> * What output do you get?
> * From that, what command do you want to construct?

I also said:

> Be clear, precise, specific, ...

You are asking me for help, I have indicated that I'm willing to help you, but you aren't actually answering the questions I ask, and it appears that you're not actually paying attention to what I write. If I'm going to give up some of my time to help you, someone I've never met, then you really, really should make it easy for me.

Instead you've made me go back to the original posting on StackOverflow and try again to understand the exact question, even though I've clearly asked for some clarification.

For example:

> lsblk -l -list_the_names_of_blocks_not_mounted

I know nothing about the lsblk command, I don't know if these are real parameters or part of the "pseudo code" you've invented to explain your problem, and I certainly don't know what you're expecting it to output. So let me repeat:

> * What is the first command you're running?
> * What output do you get?

I assume (and it appears that you've confirmed) that you need to extract some information from the output and use it to construct a new command. That's pretty easy to do and I'll happily talk you through the process. Mostly these processes use standard tools like grep, sed, and awk, but it would appear at the time of writing that all you have of them is a negative impression that "they are just regexp" and as such that "feels like a very dangerous 'hacky' way of performing very delicate and important tasks."

Perhaps you should judge that after you've actually seen them in operation for real. If you still consider them "hacky" then you will have acquired enough information to do it all in Python (or other languages) if you choose.

So, if you'd still like me to help, please re-read this reply carefully, in full, and you'll know how to proceed.

Added in edit: I've just read your comment on the one reply you've had over there, and now I really don't know what you're expecting. In the CLI you can take the output of one command and feed it into a pipeline that does stuff to it. What more are you expecting than tools designed to work with a pipeline of text?

It really depends on what you perceive as objective. I'm not sure I would call it objective, but I would certainly call it a bad review. Every other sentence contains an Apple reference. While this is to be expected when Siegler writes a review, this is a way too narrow view for a good review.

His conclusion is basically, that there is room for an iPad Mini and Jelly Bean is faster and not much about the Nexus7 itself.
> You also need to move the hand on the keyboard to push pretty much any other key

- cost of binding arrow keys: ~0

- benefit to non-wasd compatible layouts: ∞

(did you know that my keyboard can actually move to where arrow keys are comfortably used, or that left-handed and right-handed-who-use-their-mouse-on-the-left-because-it-makes-sense-with-a-numpad-and-makes-RSI-bearable people exist? ;-)
Ask HN: At what point do you think about branding?
I'm wondering at what point as a company that you start to think about branding? Do you incorporate first and then work out logo, letterheads etc once your product / service is up and running?
Firebug 1.10.0
> The arrow keys are usually at the right of the keyboard, next to the mouse

Usually yes, but not if you're using your left hand for the mouse as I've recently switched to do.
At a bare minimum both WASD and arrow keys should be enabled.

But yes, reconfigurability is by far the best solution.
>One, my shoulder gets tired and sometimes hurts if I move back and forth between keyboard and mouse too much.

>Two, by the time I move to the mouse and back, I could have done the equivalent twice on the keyboard and moved on.

Vim got this part right, and it ends up being better than Emacs in that regard: in Emacs you also don't need the mouse but all the chording requires moving the hands too much. Ideal would be to take Emacs' non-modal editing and combine it with Vi's simply edit mode: for example, say you are in "command mode" only if you hold down Caps lock, but when the button isn't held down the editor is always in insert mode.
I'm a New Zealander and I think this is ridiculous. Anyway, I don't support mainstream media and instead buy as much as I can direct from the artists.

What I don't understand is why the government thinks this is a high priority.. there are far more serious issues to address and deal with.

I think the examples you mention would fall into the sphere of "acquaintances" or "family friends" or "connections" or "not enemies" today (in the business or strategic sense). We are talking about actual close friends, comrades, (BFFs if u want) here.

Wait, what? The initial post and the GP are from different people. Also, the one you're replying to clearly states: "So this review is completely subjective". How do you go from that to 'your definition of objective is "agrees with what I think"'?

He said it's a pleasant surprise, he did not say that was his definition of objective. He clearly states his definition of objective and that this article does not meet it.
I'm working on this for a client at the moment.

The tricky bit is that the credit-card processing itself is being done by a third party gateway. We pass a request to the third party to go collect a payment for $X and let us know when that is approved. The user's credit card number never actually passes through our system, which is a great way to avoid dealing with PCI-DSS.

But the card number isn't known at the time we pass $X to the gateway. So there's no way to apply a different surcharge percentage to different types of card.
Good idea - we've been doing something similar for groups/companies with just the header data of email. The Datahug.com API allows developers to build on top of the email social graph.
It all depends for whom... Schools are inherently conservative, and slow down the evolution, as did the paper medium for written communications (and iPhone auto-correct).

But now, forget Facebook, think SMS and IM. In 50 years, everyone under 75 will be familiar with its vocabulary, and will have used more for personal communication than the "correct" language. I predict that, school be damned, it will replace the current spelling in everyday life for most people.

Note that I love beautiful language and its historical roots. At the gut level, I find it painful to watch it being torn down. But I'm too young to be a curmudgeon...
