But Addega is not of technological nature. We cannot call it a technological service just because it's on WWW.

On the other hand Outsystems is one rare example of successfull, portuguese technological product.
Little anecdote here but I find that whenever I'm procrastinating it's because I'm not sure what to do next. I know that I need to keep working on my pet project but I don't know what I should do exactly.
Thank you for your feedback mryan.

Its very hard to find a perfect url for the service, I thought about using another url but for example connectsocial.me/mryan is more difficult to remember that connect.so/mryan.

When a user signs up gets a custom url starting with connect.so/, ex: connect.so/barackobama connect.so/aplusk or connect.so/kimdotcom
we try to use the shorter url with the word connect and we think connect.so its perfect for the service but we will register some TLDs with connectsocial
Cryptocat 2 Threat Model
As I tried to take this survey, my answers would randomly change or blank out. Also, this test assumes that hacking is what people do when they break into systems.
Most people have a bond with where they are born. Indeed it doesn't matter who you 'help', but if you feel drawn to your motherland and your family lives there you would be better off helping there than in the US/UK. If you have no bond with where you grew up, then of course. One country is no better than another. If you do care, you moving out is neither needed nor beneficial.

And 'treated better' is just how you manipulate your own existence; if you don't want to be treated badly (or being treated better), anywhere, you can accomplish that. Except of course in state of war or oppression, but none of these countries have that (at the moment).
Most (all?) tech jobs in Portugal are in Lisbon. I know companies in Oporto (Portugal 2nd biggest city) that have problems hiring people because everyone flees to Lisbon when they finish their degree. I tried to move to a smaller city (I'm not a fan of large cities) but there were very few oportunities, mostly PHP positions where you spend all day coding crappy CMS/CRM/ERPs. Sad but true.
what do you think is happening? Browsers don't use Java to parse/encode JSON... JSON is a Javascript facility.
Easier for you, that is. The problem with HATEOAS is that it requires commitment on both parties (server and client) to that convention. For the client developer that means no hard coding changing URLs. But they will, and you'll be to blame when your server changes break their code. You'll say "but you didn't HATEOAS" and they'll say "my app is broken, fix your API now" and you... who wants to go there?
What are examples of this? Working around social systems? ie, as an example, the white South African student that applied for a bursary for African Americans in America?

Regardless of the format of the content, I think that it'd be nice if files like this would be placed in /.well-known/[standard] in accordance with http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5785

There are already too many magical files cluttering up the root.
I still don't see the value proposition for HATEOAS. Writing a client that can use an API that it doesn't understand seems impossible, so I can't see how discovery is ever going to work. To my mind HATEOAS represents the very complex over-engineering that REST was originally a reaction against.
For many reasons. Firstly, it's a monopoly. Secondly, it has to survive under ridiculous regulations.

When I think of cell phones in orbit, the thought which comes to mind is "space junk." Putting lots of small objects in orbit cheaply sounds like a good way to increase the odds of something big, expensive, and possibly manned suffering a catastrophic collision.
The difference isn't just replacing {} with <>. Notice that the tag name is only specified once. The end tag is only an end } not a </tag>. This is more satisfying to programmers because the SGML style allows mixups like <a><b>text</a></b>.

The root of the problem is that developers in Portuguese organizations have little "political" power and low social prestige. They are generically put under the "técnicos" (technicians) category, not a very prestigious term.

It's kind of a class thing: high class people do not dirty their hands with manual labor and boring technical stuff. High class people should manage other people and do not really have any responsibility towards their lower-class subordinates. Responsibility only flows upwards, never downwards. This is of course not a uniquely Portuguese problem, but is probably a more widespread issue in unequal societies with ingrained class distinctions.

The cult of the MBA (as defined by Spolsky) reigns supreme in Portugal. Managers think it's perfectly natural to be deeply ignorant of the problem domain of their organizations. This might work when you're managing nail factories (or maybe not), but when applied to managing developers it is insulting, disempowering and demotivating.
Two things, greatly oversimplified: 1) all forms of energy (including mass) are sources for gravity. 2) Interaction with the Higgs gives rise to what we observe as mass of particles; without this interaction, we'd have massless particle, with essentially the same energy, but moving at the speed of light. The net gravitational effect would be very different from what we observe though...

I could not agree more! This, among other things, is one of the things that puzzles me the most: almost no products. To that I'll add lack of capability to scale.

I've worked at a startup here once, and have seen this lack of capability to scale happen in first hand: unfortunatelly, at the time I was to focused on just being the 'technical guy', and did not have any real input to give (mind you I was just an employee - there is no concept of equity shares to employees in Portugal, thus no economical incentive in this regard).

Now that I have the will to actually be a part of a startup, I'm 'too old', have a family, and honestly, don't know where to look.
So more senseless errors in my error log and more traffic caused by robots requesting a file that doesn't exist?

While I applaud the idea, can we please, please have a meta-tag or header that points to the location of this file if it's available?

We don't need another favicon.ico nor robots.txt
I like the idea a lot, but as it stands the format is pretty US-centric. I've written up some suggestions on how to fix this at https://github.com/fesja/businesstxt/issues/2

The core problem is definitely that many small business sites, especially restaurant ones, are really terrible outdated, and really not run by someone who would understand the concept of "upload text file to server".

So perversely, storing the information centrally would be easier, but who would you trust with it? The temptation to create a walled garden and "monetize" all that juicy local business data would be very strong for the maintainers. And then everything falls apart into small localized non-interoperating fiefdoms again, and we're back where we started...

With all respect, this isn't the kind of comment I've come to expect from HN lot on a serious article like this. It belongs to Verge/TechCrunch/Engadget/Gizmodo, or the the articles about the court ruling (those from yesterday).
>> Not using a god awful Lisp dialect (Emacs Lisp) at it's base?

You answered to this one as if it was based on the previous line. I don't think it was. As a language, Emacs lisp is crappy and arcane, even compared to lisps that were there before it.

> Touchpads? Do you mean tablets or laptop touchpads? That's a HID device and works the same as a mouse does...

No, it really doesn't. And if you try to treat it like a mouse, you get crappy UX. I don't really like Apple, but that is one of the things they got right much earlier than other people.

It's been a lot of fun because I get to play with ElasticSearch and responsive JS UIs. Still a long way to go before it is really useful - particularly categorical browsing and parametric serach.

Ask HN: Please, help me turn things around.
I am posting here as a last resort as I have lost all sense of clarity.Please bear with me.

I am a 22year old undergrad student (comp sci.) in my final year of college. Throughout childhood, I was used to the high expectations of others. I started college depressed because I did not get into the college I wanted. In the first 3 years, I was not motivated to study at all. I had a GPA of 2.0. Soon my scholarship was discontinued. I had lied to my parents about my GPA until then. Since then, I have been on medication and treatment for depression, but they don’t really seem to help.

I have been trying desperately to take control of my life. I have big dreams and ambitions. I am passionate about technology and coding. I have a startup idea. There are so many cool things I want to do. But, I am not able to shake of the feeling that I screwed up before. That I am at a great disadvantage. The best I can push up my GPA is to 3.0 (if I score a perfect 4.0 these last 2 semesters). Some of my friends already have a job offer from FB & Google while I am scared that I might not even get a job in a mediocre company. I am not able to get over all these missed opportunities.

And it’s not that I am dis-functional now. Sometimes I have a productive week. But it doesn't last - something or the other happens which reminds me of the past. And before I realize it, I have spent another month loathing in self-pity. It all hurts so much because I know I have so much potential. Sometimes, HN itself makes me depressed. I see so many talented people doing cool things and I feel very guilty & sad that I am not doing anything.

The very thought that this year may be like the previous ones causes me extreme pain. I don't know how many much more of this I can take. What should I do?

I think you're judging pioneers by the standards of later arrivals. It would seem terrible now, but compared to the options then, I was very happy. Internet! In my pocket!

I do think the PalmOS was showing its age at the time, and a bad app or extension could cause a lot of trouble. But having used PalmOS for years, getting things reasonably stable wasn't hard for me. And as a nerd, I'm pretty tolerant of crashes.

So no, it's not a joke. The Treo was a solid nerd smartphone for me.
Hack away to get something working putting those libraries to good use. Code will be optimized throughout the process.
Actually, I view luck as being an euphemism for perseverance, because it's easier for people to say "I'm unlucky", as an issue of destiny, rather than accept that there's something wrong with them.

It is true that if you were born a female, or black, or poor in the wrong century, then odds were definitely playing against you. But we now live in an age where there's less and less discrimination based on race, gender or money.

I can't find a link now, but there have been studies with the conclusion that lucky people tend to be resourceful people that put themselves in the way of success. You don't win the lottery if you don't play the game. You won't find a suitable mate to marry if you don't have a social life or if you're too shy. You won't have success in your startup if you don't start a startup or if you don't survive for long enough.

The absence of luck is just an excuse. It's true that many people will never win the lottery, even if they play the game for their whole life. But this is an issue of probabilities and luck tends to favor those that increase their chances of having success.
Whether they care or not I don't know; I would say if you asked them they would care; I don't see any evidence that they've put the OS into the public domain or anything. I believe they do still distribute MS-DOS via MSDN, and it's still used for some legacy and embedded applications. I still see a lot of retail POS systems that appear to be running in DOS or at least in a full-screen character mode.

Wonder why DOS was chosen instead of Linux?

Can you explain the bug a little more. The survey is intended not to display some questions when "very unlikely" is selected. Is the behaviour any different?

The test is comprised from several other researches and attempts to segment the participant into hacker as a programmer subculture, hacker as security researcher and hacker as a the one who breaks into system.
I never used it, so I cannot comment on the technological nature of Adegga, but I imagine it's as technological as any other social network.

Outsystems seems to be pretty successful, yeah. But it's a software development platform, in which you drag an "if" block from a palette and drop it in a canvas. Most people prefer typing "if".

Yes, the big companies are. What is that fascination with big (consultancy) companies? The work there usually is like seeing grass grow. And you'll be 'dispatched' to a client.

You are right. Code optimisation should be a process rather than a task in itself.
I guess I just view things from a different perspective, not having the disposable income of the average HNer (where 2200 is a "rounding error", as seen in this thread)
Sounds like Apple will remove this if they find out about it.
Don't disagree. Problem is this is one hell of a lottery. Each one of us is almost certain to lose.

Good thing though - if all you can do is lose - then you have nothing to lose - get rich or die trying.
Who says some NSA officials ain’t misbehavin’?
I only recently properly grokked this. Discovery isn't necessarily the point, although it's nice. What makes HATEOAS essential for me is that if you start with the assumption of HATEOAS, you can add functionality in the form of new links at the server side without breaking existing clients. Yes, there are other ways to achieve this, but HATEOAS is an excellent way of getting it for free.

You seem to be an angry young person :) But you are working and you have studied; so why do you find this insulting? If you are not working and not studying, what are you doing? Why is it not ok to call the problem by it's name? Again, I don't know about the north, but here there are TONS of jobs, just no one takes them, and this NiNi seems to be an apt description of that. Sure, if you actually cannot find a job and you did everything to try to get one, then it's much different. But if you turn down jobs because 'its a 30 minute drive' or 'the contract is only for 1 year' then you are not really a very cool person right? I think that's what this term refers to?

In this case we're in control of the server and the client, so it's less of an issue, but in general it's not the ability to change URLs that I'm getting at here, and that's not a flexibility we've needed. It's the ability to add extra functionality by adding links on each resource without breaking existing clients that I'm missing at the moment.
"It took just a couple of minutes."

This is why I like the business.txt idea. Microformats or microdata, however appropriate and simple, are still one level of abstraction above this idea.

I came to this post 45 seconds ago, looked at GH, and could explain what this is for and how it works. That's saying something.
I would strongly suggest e.g. JSON or XML - if you can upload a website, the chance are that you could also create something like this. There would of course also be a template where absolute noobs could fill in the details and get correct output. With our current tools, implementing a clear text data storage seems like a pretty stupid idea - everyone would have to implement their own parsing. With e.g. JSON, there are libraries for every language and it has validation.
That's the takehome pay - there are pretty high taxes, so the total that the company is paying might be much higher, and the labor market is very rigid: at least in Italy, it's very difficult to fire someone once they have obtained a 'permanent position'. Still though, I think there are opportunities to be had; things like what Fabrizio Capobianco did with Funambol. I can only find stories in Italian that focus more on the Italian aspect of their operations:

http://www.workingcapital.telecomitalia.it/2010/09/i-piedi-i...
> Notice what this doesn’t include? XML and JSON. Neither offers a native way to convey a hyperlink.

Both XML and JSON offer standard ways to include hyperlinks. XLink[1] and JSON Schema[2], respectively. Not to mention you can include hyperlinks in headers[3].

The problem with “hypermedia” is that the concept is completely useless without common nouns and verbs. So it’s fine if you can fit your application to use WebDav or AtomPub plus extensions, but for a custom API there’s no point.

Cheap? Yes, if you come from a country like the US, UK, Germany, etc. The problems is that salaries for tech jobs aren't very good compared with said countries.
So why not open up shop yourself? There will be even a 'better' time when the EU tanks, but now is a great time to get great people and make new companies. You don't like the way it is now, so, why not start something to do cool stuff. Make original games and apps? Do 50% client jobs (but only in your niche), do 50% your own. Few friends, small office and have fun.
Java 7 0-Day Vulnerability Information & Mitigation
I also got this result without answering "Definition of a hacker" in a way that would indicate this.
Well I beg the difference! http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_os.asp
This is NOT a 5 minute survey. This survey pretty much defines hackers as crackers, fundamentally missing the point and the original definition. Avoid.

Also, the questions are very poorly worded and are sometimes impossible to answer because it assumes I'm doing something that I'm not. For instance:

"Have you been financially compensated in any way for participating in this project?" WTF project are you talking about here? The hypothetical project that I might work on even though it doesn't help me or my friends?
Wow, had never heard of that. Sounds completely ridiculous.
Now we need a reviews.txt so that we don't need to give control of the reviews to less than trustworthy parties.

Ask HN: Thoughts on Performance Enhancing Drugs ie. Steroids or Adderall 
My opinion of "performance enhancing drugs" has always been that use should be allowed for all professional athletes. I use the rationale that if I have attention deficit disorder that makes me a less effective at my job as an accountant, then going to a doctor and getting a prescription for adderall is 100% ethical.

The same does not transition into athletics where in many cases these athletes (not limiting argument to cycling at all) are using the drugs for recovery and optimal performance. I don't think that any drug can replace hardwork, talent or develop muscle memory faster which are all key traits of successful athletes.

As a recent college graduate, it was common to see adderall and similar drugs rampantly abused and sold throughout campuses everywhere. To me they are just as much as a performance enhancing drug as steroids.

Just wondering everyone else's thoughts.
