Ask HN? From Vim to Sublime 2
I've been using non-vi editors all my career. Last 3 months I started using VI and find it really hard to switch to another editor. I love the customizations that VI has, love the macros, I don't think of editing as movement of the cursor, its now like writing except the first writing tells you how to edit the actual words.

So I noticed people lovin' on Sublime 2. So my question is: has anyone made the switch of VI -> ST2 or have people just liked the shiny interface but disliked the actual editing itself?

Write a blog post explaining exactly what is wrong and why it is a problem, then tweet it to them and post it to their Facebook wall. If they won't fix the security issues, then maybe you can save a fraction of their users by convincing them to go elsewhere. (And by making noise publicly they are probably more likely to actually do something about it)
Show HN: A new error message from HN ...
Checking on some old material to provide some cross-referencing[1] I got this message:

We've temporarily limited requests for old items.

I've always taken it for granted that HN contained useful information that I'd be able to retrieve whenever I found the need, but this has brought me up short. Perhaps older discussions will eventually become unavailable. Will Google cache still have them? Will the Wayback machine still have them? How convenient will they be to find in the future.

Probably this is a temporary glitch to prevent some overly enthusiastic crawler from bringing the site to a halt, but it just made me wonder.

> Under New Zealand copyright law, DVD region codes and the mechanisms in DVD players to enforce them have no legal protection

I have a vague recollection of it not being possible to buy region locked DVD players in New Zealand, but I may be incorrect, or the law may have been changed.

Where I live, stores can't sell DVD players unless they at least provide a way to turn the player into a region-free device.
It really depends what the initial agreement was. Were you a regular employee or was there an initial contract that you would complete X project for Y dollars by some deadline Z.

If it was the second one then IMO you really owe them back the initial deposit they gave you depending on what kind of final work you delivered to them. Honestly handing codebases from one developer to another is less than ideal and makes projects more expensive than they should be. Also I'm sure it was way past the expected deadline of the client.

If you delivered nothing in the end then it was really more like they hired a con artist that stole their money, again if you were under the kind of contract I stated above.

If you were a normal employee then you just didn't do a great job due to all the stuff you mentioned.

Either way I don't know why you would publicize a situation like this. It doesn't matter what way you look at it, this whole story doesn't make you sound like a developer that people would want to hire.

The point of Android is to be not as good as iOS? Really? That's the point of Android?

Do you make the claim that all cars are rubbish just because some companies make rubbish cars? No. Different cars are different. Obviously. So it is with Android devices.

If one Android device is on a par with the new iPad (or at least in the same ballpark according to MG Siegler) then please judge that device based solely on that device, not on other devices that are similar in OS name only (not even version).

If you're comparing iOS to the full spectrum of Android devices out there, then please compare the full spectrum of iOS devices out there as well, including the iPhone 3GS which is, in this day and age, a POS cheapo smartphone (compared to top of the range Android phones at least).

Ask HN: What is a good local Web app development environment(node/mongo/redis)? 
Instead of installing a full web app backend stack directly on my MacBook Pro, I'd much rather have it run inside a virtual machine on my local system to keep coding and testing seperatly.<p>I'd like to:<p>* keep everything local (so that it works without external network access)<p>* avoid cluttering my develpoment system with different installations of node/mongodb/etc.<p>* make it easy for new team members to get started developing in the exact same environment as the rest of the team<p>* protect my coding environment from experimental software or potential mistakes in scripts (imagine a "clean build" wiping out the entire system by accident)<p>What does your coding/local test environment look like? Any recommendations?
My thoughts exactly. But since so many websites nowadays expect the user to be logged in all the time, I wonder if the distinction will remain much longer. On many websites, it's virtually impossible to get anything done without logging in. For someone like me who prefers to stay logged out for as long as possible (for reasons of privacy and security: you can steal my session all day long and it'll be useless if I'm not logged in), this trend is infuriating. Thank God for HN, Stack Overflow, Reddit, and a few other sites that continue to welcome anonymous users.

JavaScriptCore (like other js engines) has an interpreter and a JIT. The JIT requires memory that's both writable and executable. iOS doesn't allow memory that's both writable and executable for security reasons, so normal apps can't use the JIT parts of jsc. Safari gets an exception from the "no writable and executable memory" rule.

(That's the technical reason; if you're wearing a tinfoil hat, you could argue that Apple wants to make sure native apps work a lot better than thin UIWebView shims, for lock-in and whatnot.)
Or a medieval strongbox?
There was no deadline specified but multiple deadlines were delayed because of me but not only this was also a team and originally a contract to assist the development (sure it might imply finishing the project) with a fixed amount of money per day.

In contrary to what you say they have all my work on their servers and the thing is for sure usable so yeah the project might not be completed and I'm not the only developer working on it. So the work can be carried on and I'm ready to assist in passing and explaining my work to the other member of the team.

Again as explained I feel responsible for my failure(s) but I do not think this is all on me as you seem to believe.
I struggled with this question myself recently. I had minor experience with PHP a long ways back so starting my app with something familiar sounded better than starting from scratch.

But after a ton of research, I came to the conclusion that learning to program/mvc/security techniques with php is total chaos. There is 10+ years of php tutorials out there and everyone of them takes a different approach to there programming methods and u have no idea if your adopting the habits of a guru or some punk who just figured out his first script. There are so many php functions that do the same thing (mysql vs msqli), u will struggle constantly just figuring out what the the right/best/newest way to do things is. It's all such a mess...

So I ended up taking the 101 udacity.com course and learned the basics of python/programming in really short order. After that I did the 253 web dev class there with Steve Huffman (creator of reddit). After that I fealt like I had a solid understanding of how mondern web apps are put together and I learned from some real pros.

I immediately picked up Flask, got set up on heroku, and have been having a blast ever since. Flask is especially nice because there are plugins/defaults/documentation on handling and avoiding most modern web app features/security issues. I highly recommend this route.

Good luck!

Looking at the stats is a very useful exercise, but it's limited in one crucial capacity: it tells us only about the performance of Kickstarter campaigns after they've launched. It tells us very little (inferences and guesses aside) about the work leading up to the campaign launches. Or the lack thereof, in some cases.

As much as I hate some of Seth Godin's cutesy/quirky buzzwords about "tribes," he's crucially right about one thing here. Kickstarter is, as he puts it, "the last step" in a successful Kickstarter campaign.

Kickstarter is not a set-it-and-forget-it type of deal. You need to have the product reasonably well researched, if not prototyped, ahead of time. You need to have a compelling description and video. You need a realistic projection of your costs and revenue expectations, and you need to set your funding tiers carefully (and the rewards for those tiers even more carefully). You need to scout out your influencers, your bloggers, your best-connected connections, and so forth, well ahead of the project's debut. You have to have a plan for activating them.

The whole thing is basically a product launch, much more so than a call for R&D funding. It's a marketing push, much more so than an investment round. It's also a pre-sale. It's all of these things, even if you truly need the R&D investment to build the thing you're pre-selling.

This is not necessarily intuitive, because the site presents itself as a place to pitch the crowd on R&D investment. People who actually believe that will set themselves up for failure. Conversely, people who realize that Kickstarter is more of a marketing and sales tool will better position themselves for success.

I understand your eagerness. I had been mashing my update button for several days after the OTA update was announced. Evidently these things roll out over the course of weeks, which is not necessarily what you would expect if Windows or Apple o/s updates are your frame of reference.

I was able to "trick" my nexus into updating, by clearing the data from the Google Data Services Framework. That seems to work for some people. Unlocking and flashing is an option that some power users take--particularlly those with LTE phones where there is no OTA yet.

> could anyone please give me an objective argument

I think it is really subjective and about the "long tail" of apps. If I say that OmniFocus locks me into the Appleverse, someone else will mention an Android-exclusive app and we'll (objectively ;)) discuss for hours. Carcassonne and Anthill may not have worthy Android ports, but I'm probably missing out on Google's best-in-class maps.

The shopping experience may also have a lot to do with each platform's perception. The Play front page[1] looks absolutely uninviting to me. In iTunes or on the iPad, I usually scroll around and discover apps by topic. What do I do in the Play store if I know all the front page apps already (not hard)?

> I get blank stares when I discuss security with them.

I can assure you that the blank stares go away completely when there is a breach. You will probably learn by then that your customers just expect you to handle it professionally. They might not be able to think beyond their deadline and their first business goal, but leaking passwords or losing user data will be your fault eventually.

I will not pretend that all my past work is bulletproof, but it should be not so difficult to make sure your tools and code handle all incoming data like hot grenades. You might skip some big-upfront-user-import in the beginning as you control the data chain, but $_POST or params[:model] or what else is flying in your face should be met with a standard treatment.

Did you ask them that you planned to clean the code before hand? Take the case of the company: they must be thinking something like "this guy decides to clean the code and this delays the project for ages". If you are freelancing (I am not, so take this with a grain of salt), isn't the best strategy to deliver first?

Having say that, I know how terrible it is to work on some crappy legacy code and can certainly understand your decision. Good luck!

That's like asking "What is the best way to drink milk"?

In the case of milk, circumstances matter. Is the person drinking the milk an infant? Lactose intolerant? Travelling? Going on a 1-week camping expedition? On a diet? Diebetic?

The details are key to the question. If you answered the question "In a glass with chocolate chip cookies on the side", the parent of an infant following that advice would have a baby vomiting everywhere because they cannot digest milk protein.

The database question is similar. Are you storing favicons or 10MB RAW files? Is the database an archive with low traffic or the next Flickr? What database platform are you using? What resources are available to the questioner?
Actually, the research data suggests that Kickstarter's efforts to make self-funding (making up the difference) difficult do seem to be working.

Quoting Prof. Mollick's paper: "...the percentage funded of failed projects remain very similar for smaller projects (mean .149, SD .18 for projects under $1,000) and relative larger ones (mean .101, SD .14 for projects over $1,000). We would expect that, if self-funding was the reason that few projects were moderate failures, that cheaper projects would be more easily self-funded, and therefore would have a lower, not higher, mean percentage funded for failed projects, since relatively larger funding gaps would still be cheap to self-fund."
"Variety of offline storage options, all insecure" -- true, and annoying.

I have a hard time believing that governments today would be able to examine changes to basic rights that did not involve removing them. This is the direction of things, unfortunately.
I don't think that's all though.

Case in point, read the Old English poem "The Wanderer" (ideally in Old English but if necessary in translation) and remember that the relationship the narrator is lamenting is this sort of relationship.

The point is that gifts tie us together. As one person said, "obligations unite us, debts drive us apart." The idea that you give money and there is some sort of a moral obligation to reciprocate in some way (but not a quantified debt) creates the bond.

The way gift economies work is that you give gifts out and therefore obtain communal esteem, and people reciprocate to get that esteem by giving you gifts.
