Even that might not work if he has two versions with the same hash and sends github a forced update with push -f. though that's still a much more difficult proposition than just updating the master branch.
This reads like you want someone to give you a Mac so that you can maybe write a game that someone might like. A used Macbook pro is $1500 [1], California minimum wage is $8/hr, that is about 190 hrs of work, at 20 hrs a week (part time) that is 9 weeks (aka a summer vacation) of unskilled labor. (which you aren't)

Your concern is moot though, you give your 'supporters' in the kickstarter a copy of the game you write, they aren't going to buy it somewhere else, you already have their money. It may be the only sales you get but you don't have to give the Macbook Pro back if you actually deliver the game.

I'd say given the fact that you're a complete unknown in the gaming space, and you're basically doing it for the laptop, you would be much much better off spending the summer tutoring folks in programming or doing a few freelance jobs, and then buying yourself a used Macbook Pro.

I doubt a kickstarter would be successful, since based on your blog it would seem like there are lots of ways to raise the money to buy yourself a Macbook but instead you're doing this. Since that doesn't seem to add up, people might get skittish and pass.

You're lecturing me about language? I've seen as much or more and I think "stupid" is the correct word. The supposed "flaws" you mention are the exact attributes that have made Silicon Valley the originator of much of technological progress in the past few decades. Selecting a once-in-a-decade company to extrapolate from is, well, stupid.
Pardon my ignorance, but what's wrong with SourceForge? Is it simply not as popular as other open-source project sites?
Auth2 provides 2 factor authentication service that secures websites, servers and corporate networks (VPN).
Mandating that a certain amount of money (especially a percentage) of budget be spent on something (no matter how noble or desirable or effective) is one of the ways that California has managed to ballot initiative itself into failure. I think I actually prefer the system where people decide what to spend money on, I just wish there was a better way to dislodge the beneficiaries of the current money spigot before they become institutionalized automatic rubber stamped welfare recipients...
Well, it leans on the fact that it is more likely that Google has good security and that your web app will probably never reach that kind of security.
It also works the other way around, someones Webapp gets hacked (which is far more likely) and the same password is used for google, you get the same end result, but then it is YOUR fault, and not google's.

"I would assume that a majority of that revenue is through a card."

Really? I almost never use a card for café type purchases. Maybe if I were buying a meal, but for a coffee or two I'm 99% likely to use cash.

When I first loaded the page, I was unsure about whether they have no sites, i.e., whether they're just showing a proof of concept. The text said they were planning to review ToS of major sites by middle of july, so that prompted me to fire up Opera.

If somebody wonders why I want to use IE9: easily configurable and non-obtrusive, BUILT-IN plugin blockers and ad blockers [+ do-not-track lists].
should counted != counted

most of the time line counts are just .c and .h in the file tree, and the generated files to often end up in the file tree and repository.

I'm merely speaking from my own extensive experience in dealing with large C code bases. What you are calling disingenuous and pedantic is ignoring where the hand-wavy line count numbers actually come from. The tend to come from code that is actually checked into the repository which, whether you like it or not, can include large amounts of auto-generated code.
Those are two of the very least vulnerable web properties. And all the evidence points to centralization being the cornerstone to their existence and outrageous success. In one breath you've put forth a relatively weak idea and made an egregiously bad evaluation of some incumbents.
Its only typesafe if you generate against the database though correct? Its entirely possible for me to write it by hand, and not know there is a problem till runtime yes? I want to close this loop, and LINQ is the only db access I have tried that does so.

Should have mentioned I am using Scala for the DB access in Play 2.0 and the other portions are mostly Java (heavy lifting done in existing libraries, so its just plumbing work hence doing it in Java). I am pretty happy with it except I still hit type issues which I would never encounter in LINQ.

I guess the way im looking at it is that LINQ solved a pain point for me which I am still experiencing in other languages. I would very much like someone to take the pain away from me, either by getting C# working well on Linux or bringing some of the features from C# over into the Java world.
Without the bottom directives, I'd agree it's good competitive analysis, especially if similar documents exist for multiple vendors' phones.

But the bottom directives turn it into a PRD (requirements doc), and the directives themselves call for steps that make the devices much more similar.
Oh well. If its decent enough I can live with this single issue as I catch it pretty easily though integration tests.

Obnoxious ads everywhere, download page with countdown timer, and as you mentioned the OSS community has largely abandoned it. Do you think this doesn't matter?
Regarding distributed eventually consistent transactions consider several employees buying urgently needed office supplies out of petty cash. Every step of the way you end up with two authoritative records which must equal if there is a question. You have cash dispersement vouchers, receipts, final cash vouchers, and the like. Reconciliation and basic management are handled by different people and the material is eventually transcribed from a set of carbon copies into a general journal and eventually a general ledger.

What's interesting here though is that this is a very different approach than people usually do with regard to BASE.
Yes. The vast majority of payments I see in Starbucks in the US are via credit cards (or debit cards). With modern PoS systems, paying via card is faster and more convenient than cash, not to mention other benefits (rewards on cards, being able to better track spending)

Essentially it's ray-tracing but in a grid. Bresenham's algorithm let's you do the ray-tracing efficiently.

This is done because a LIDAR/sonar/whatever scanning range sensor returns the angle and range to a reflective object. In most cases, there's an implicit additional piece of information - namely that there's nothing in between the sensor and the object, since the EM radiation was able to get there and back. Bresenham's algorithm is used to tell you the grid cells in which you can assume free space.
"because nerds can be trendy too"

of course they can. who said they/we want to be?
Yeah, I do actually. Why would you need more than $250,000 liquid currency in the same bank? Nobody does that.

Anyway, you are wrong about Amazon being FDIC insured like normal banks. They can potentially insure you up to $100,000 via pooled accounts stored at FDIC banks. Amazon payment accounts themselves are not FDIC insured. So you can imagine how much fun it would be to get your money back as compared with a real bank.

Tons of small businesses in San Francisco use Pay With Square already, and they don't have the rigorous employee training procedures that Starbucks has.

Show HN: Source code navigator for Github hosted C# projects
Carbon Fork,Road Bike Fork
Sourceforge was great back in the day when it was the only (?) option for public code hosting besides running your own site, but it's not as "cool" now... it feels like most projects have left, only abandoned projects remain. Putting a "new" project there seems strange. I don't know if that's due to functionality or not though, maybe it's just that the UI feels dated. Even with free offerings, people pay attention to the usability and UI, and although I've never run a project using sourceforge, I don't think I'd ever choose (or recommend) it over github or bitbucket. I'd love to hear reasons why I'm wrong on that opinion?

At the very least, he system needs to raise big red flags if a CC added very recently is used for validation. A system I built a few years back would alert customer service if any of the validating data was less than a month old, and would let them use it if it was less than a week old. (So yeah, if you forgot your password in the week after you changed address, you were locked out for a week. That was a business risk deemed "acceptable" by the client.)
One of the absolute biggest challenges in hiring a web design firm is getting them to understand the company and work within the real constraints of the business and budget. Pie-in-the-sky projects like this one don't demonstrate that the firm can do that.
C doesn't have true / false as language constants, only as override-able macros.

The good thing is modern compilers can evaluate a loop and if the break condition is constant it can just do an infinite loop without checking.

It wasn't under the guise of a rebranding at all. The website is called "Wikipedia Redefined," and adding a WYSIWYG editor and interactive map would certainly redefine Wikipedia.
Seriously? Imagine the following...

Say I'm a naive person and say I go for dinner and pay via credit card. Since there's not much information on there, I throw the receipt away. On the receipt (at least those I get here) is my last name, as well as the 4 last digits of my CC number. Now assume my last name was sufficiently rare in the area for a potential attacker to make sure that this was actually my receipt. Also assume, that I'm an Apple nerd with an iCloud account (which I'm not).

Some potential hacker finds my receipt, puts 1 and 1 together and calls Apple and gains complete access using nothing but a receipt with 4 digits and a name on it.

Is the restaurant to be hold responsible for it because they printed those 4 digits on the receipt? Hell no! Is Apple responsible for giving access to my account to a complete stranger possessing nothing but a CC receipt? Yes.

In this case, Apple is after all responsible for the data loss and their security measures are clearly questionable. One should never use a security key which is obtainable by everybody and his grandma. The last 4 digits of your CC number are not private because the card companies decided that it's secure enough to show them.
block quora pages from your google results. problem solved.
The fact is that the school is divided very early in way where you are going to college and others where you'll just learn a more simple job (mechanics, cook...). So at a young age, teachers decide where you are going to go. Studies show that this is very dependant on the social class of your parents. Teacher almost never send a surgeon's son to a no-college school. So social mobility is prevented that way, instead of letting the children decide when they are around 18 and more aware of their own capacities and wishes. Having your life determined at 10 is quite harsh.

Then, there is the fact that school is over at around 2PM, letting the afternoon to either slack off or learn piano and classical dance, and do homework. That works only well for families which are well educated, poor and immigrant families don't really know what to begin with.

Question: Yesterday I saw you in Starbucks and heard you say "put it on John's tab". Today I see you are 2 behind me in the queue. What stops me from strolling up to the counter, big grin and saying... Put it on John's tab please?

Wouldn't the proximity of your phone mean they would take the payment from you even though you haven't authorized it?
Samsung internal document evaluating the iPhone (translated)
LedgerSMB is on Sourceforge and probably will never move. Moving is a lot of work. Sourceforge has some quirks but it isn't really all that bad. Even for projects on GitHub, it's not bad to have a Sourceforge presence for hosting downloads and the like. It is true that in general we have been trying to move more and more of our services off Sourceforge, but this has been a slow process.

Sourceforge offers a lot of things that GitHub and Bitbucket don't offer. I haven't been able to find email list hosting integrated with project management anywhere else yet but maybe I haven't been looking hard enough. The closest thing you have is Google Code.

I wouldn't say there's anything wrong with it. It isn't as trendy as some others, but I think you want to look for concrete benefits, not worry about where the hottest spot is at the moment.
While I'm happy for Square, I'm saddened that Starbucks gets special treatment. Why is Starbucks (a well known brand) getting a personal post written by Jack, when Square's "goal" is to promote and help small businesses?

Maybe a more subtle way of informing the world about this partnership was better.
I had a conversation with a senior engineer on SourceForge where he pointed out that most people forget that developers are actually a minority of their business: most of their users are nontechnical people that come to them to download binaries of things like zip utilities.
Just a bug I found: your svg "data_pointer" only points "straight" to the topmost listed week on the page, and if you select any other option, it points to the bottom of the div element of the week. Reading that, you might want to try using the <date> tag instead of divs there, just to make it more html5-ey :P

It looks like it falls here:

offset: $(this).offset().top - $('svg#data_pointer').offset().top + 18

I don't know exactly why the offsets are off for all except the topmost element of the list, but they seem to be off. I don't use firebug much so I don't know how to live edit the code to figure out the problem, but I just wanted to let you know!

Note: I am in a vbox of Arch running Firefox Aurora 16, so I also don't know if it is a browser bug.
True. I remember someone here complaining about that just the other day, said it was a bad idea, but I can't remember why. I prefer the shell doing it.
It's a humanizing experience actually. Try it once or twice. My mind was blown the first time I paid with my name using Square, and since then I have explicitly sought out coffee shops which have it, because of the quality of the experience.

Hey kuasha!

That sounds interesting, how would you implement that on an API level in a good way? I mean, the clients applications will most probably do automatic transactions all the time.

Are you thinking something like time-based sessions, which you have to authenticate on both ends - with a PK?

This is a good thing. Those few unfortunate souls who have to care will now have free access to the code in order to figure out the problems they are having.....

As long as you keep your data on your own machine, it is your responsibility to back it up. In the cloud, it's different though. The average user now expects the service provider to be responsible for keeping their cat pictures secure, warm and cozy.

And in the same way that users don't accept that hitting a delete button deletes their content - there are tons of complaints on such issues - they won't accept that remote wipe effectively rids them of all their cat pictures.

I see where you're going and every tech person should definitely keep a backup. Then again every tech person should be aware of how the cloud can fail and how putting your life into the cloud can fail you. However, the above is sadly true for Mr. John User, who has no idea what the cloud actually is, he justs wants his things synchronized between his devices. The act of paying for a services raises expectations, and data integrity as well as permanency is probably part of those expectations.
What I learned from 7th-12th grade teachers this week

Paying by name is super convenient, and could help reduce the lines especially with regulars. I've tried it recently at sight glass and it works great.
Sorry to hear CDE hits a nerve with you. Vaugly recall your product from my days at DHL and when we looked at UNIX on the desktop with SCO, but SCO etc priced themselfs out of the market on that one on comparision to windows.

So what happened to your GUI today?

As for Motif, well OSF is the Open Source Foundation right and if so selling open source, can see how that business model worked out.

IIRC your GUI was mostly desktop/PC based and in that CDE wasn't a competitor so i'm somewhat confused, but I belive you.

Here are some quotes from James Nachtwey:

"I want my work to become part of our visual history, to enter our collective memory and our collective conscience. I hope it will serve to remind us that history's deepest tragedies concern not the great protagonists who set events in motion but the countless ordinary people who are caught up in those events and torn apart by their remorseless fury. I have been a witness, and these pictures are my testimony. The events I have recorded should not be forgotten and must not be repeated."

"I used to call myself a war photographer. Now I consider myself as an antiwar photographer."

"There is a job to be done...to record the truth. I want to wake people up!"

Doesn't sound impartial to me.. and Nachtwey is no noob, to put it mildly. Embedded or not, anyone calling themselves photojournalist ought to learn from him and others.

People who can remain impartial in the face of suffering or abuse of power aren't being professional, they're being sociopaths. It takes a strong, big heart to not be impartial and still do the job, sure. It's not for everybody. So what. Lead, follow or get out of the way :P

Well, the main reason I would choose Google over Caltrans is that it really never occurred to me to go to Caltrans' site. Who expects a government site to be worth a damn?

Snarkiness aside, I've looked at Caltrans now, and Google has more info. There's been ongoing roadwork overnight on the freeway not far from here. Google and Caltrans both show that stretch in red. Additionally, however, Google has icons that when clicked give the hours and exact lanes that are closed. They do the same thing for accident related closures. I don't see anything but the traffic speed on Caltrans' site even with all the checkboxes turned on.

If you tell me that info is on Caltrans site somewhere, I will believe you. I will even believe you if you tell me Google is just pulling their data from an API Caltrans provides. But as the sites themselves go, that info is immediately obvious on Google and not at all obvious on Caltrans.
Great!! I've been googling for a printing api a couple months back. We're going to play with it as well!
What he is talking about is the potential of getting these sites' data to third parties without them having to ask for permission. What evidence suggests that this idea is weak?
