I totally agree about the "burn after reading" feature or about "Burn after X secs".

Before sending the content:

1) The paste text is encrypted using aes-256-cbc algorithm.

2) A secure random token (a simple ID) is generated.

3) The secure random secret key is generated.

4) The url will be http://yaap.it/paste/<ID>#<secret_key>;

5) The encrypted content and the ID is sent to the server. The anchor (the secret key) is never sent !

6) When you give the url to someone, the ID and the secret key is still in the url. So the content can be decrypted (client-side too) thanks to this information.

To shorten the paste url, you can use an external service. BUT, the external service will have the secret key. It depends on what you want. Maybe an idea ?
I read that book in high school too.
Why You Should Not Estimate in Hours or Days

Magento is non the less one of the most popular shop solutions. I also see it having lots of issues, but maybe the fact that there isnt anything better shows that it isnt so easy to do a good shop.
We've asked Amazon why the ads are US-only, and whether customers can pay to turn them off. If there is such an option, it doesn't seem to be mentioned in the Kindle Fire announcements or the Amazon sales pages. The prices are quite good, though, beating or matching the prices of tablets of comparable sizes.

...and pretty soon, before you know it in fact, we won't be able to power them down, either. Or disconnect the cameras or mikes.

"But hey, they're only $40 now, and the retina displays are just fantastic..."
I think you're absolutely right.

I work for Google, and I know no details of this other than publicly available, but this is my personal opinion:

My understanding is that Google is wiring up city buildings with high speed internet for free in the areas where they install.

I don't know about the rest of you, but if Google offered to give me free gigabit internet, and in exchange all I had to do was give them space for the equipment, and provide the electricity costs, I would be jumping on the opportunity.
Careful, that's incredibly sexist.

Good design requires good design skills. 'nuff said. One could say that good design requires eyesight, but even blind people have been shown to be exceptionally bright at making beautiful things. Why is this? Because it is about passion and effort to build those skills, not because one happens to lack a Y chromosome.

Men are able to show empathy as well. There are a great number of chefs, layout artists, fashion designers, and hairstylists who have a knack for design and would disagree with you.

Diversity is generally good for the industry. There have been many studies showing that diversity improves teams on a variety of different dimensions. Increasing interest from underrepresented groups can help increase the number of available programmers (there's only so many white men in the world with the skills and interests necessary to be a programmer). Diversity also makes a lot of sense for meeting the needs of the consumer population, which is incredibly diverse.
It's not as simple as github.com/usgov but some of what you're looking for is certainly there. If the government has rights to the source code then it can fall under FOIA. They have ways of denying those requests but only with the proper documentation.
Is there any matching algorithm? As presented, and it may be the case, it just seems like a large match up between companies. Reading the front page, it just says the person will be "new," nothing about the quality of the match.
Sure it does - in that any floating point scheme is a well defined partition of the real line in the range [-FLT_MAX, +FLT_MAX] into 2^n intervals (less two Infs, a load of NaNs and a spare zero), one of which absolutely contains 0.1
That's an unusually hostile response to a list of links.

Perhaps the value is "If you're interested in LFS you may be interested in the previous discussion. Here it is for you, in nice clickable form".
I'd be wary of recommending Django to a beginner, unless their project definitely required it.

Flask is lightweight, simple, and you can understand most of it in a very short period of time. I'd say it taught you to code more, whereas Django teaches you to use Django.

These lines are for courts to decide (I didn't know the braun radios myself, but the iPad and the iPhone calculator seem pretty much imitations)

In the end, depending on the financial damage at stake, some people will sue, while others may be flattered.
Open source is important because it gives you freedom, but we want to have the resources to support developers before releasing code. Without support and great docs (which are coming), it would be a frustrating experience.
So is that like hitting an API endpoint? `"/accounts"|get` makes it feel like it. Pretty neat.
You know how you can't store 1/3 in decimal. (I think I learnt that in primary school)

Same case with 1/10 to binary.

Discussion Over. How does this story have any up votes?

Is your Mac hacked by a Rootkit?
That makes sense. Perhaps I under estimate the market size for it. People do pay for services on the Internet but they're typically services that offer tremendous value, can't be found for free or has an element of importance (security for a service that handles money).

In my opinion, there are free alternatives to ADN (namely, Twitter) and the value of simply participating in a community isn't one that I believe a large # of people would pay for.

Keep in mind, ADN is a venture funded business. I'm just not seeing it.

All that said, I hope they figure something out. I have talked to Dalton and one of my friends works on it. I hope you're able to do something with the #appetizer as well.
>images of a person of interest from security cameras or public photos uploaded onto the internet could be compared against a national repository of images held by the FBI. An algorithm would perform an automatic search and return a list of potential hits for an officer to sort through and use as possible leads for an investigation.

I feel like this is going to be the prosecutor's fallacy on steroids. Not only do you have the "cold hit" problem of DNA testing (but with way, way more false positives), but you'll end up with a defendant with near 100% odds of positive identification by the victim. Of course "looks like the perpetrator" and "positively identified by victim" almost entirely overlap as evidence, but it won't necessarily feel that way to a jury.
"In other words, the best research we have strongly suggests that placebo effects are illusions, not real physiological effects"

not true!

see:

" Recent research demonstrates that placebo effects are genuine psychobiological phenomenon attributable to the overall therapeutic context, and that placebo effects can be robust in both laboratory and clinical settings. Evidence has also emerged that placebo effects can exist in clinical practice, even if no placebo is given. Further promotion and integration of laboratory and clinical research will allow advances in the ethical harnessing of placebo mechanisms that are inherent in routine clinical care and the potential use of treatments to primarily promote placebo effects."

I actually disagree at this point. Maybe when he has more traction and can be considered a larger and more well known app he can update it to sound more professional. But at the moment his copy makes it sound like this is an app he created because he wanted it and thought it was cool. It's like he's talking directly to the reader in a VERY casual way. Maybe too casual for long-term, but at the moment, I think it works.
Nice! Knew what a fullstack programner was so I was thinking it might be along those lines.
As was mentioned before, more often than not, startups have limited funding and can't afford both a UX guy and designer. Full stack for the budget! FTB?

Aside from abbreviations, what do you mean?
Representing 0.1 (or rather, 1/10) has the same problem in binary that representing 1/3 has in decimal. Your denominator doesn't divide any power of your radix, so your representation has to be either infinite, or inaccurate. If you've ever tried to do complex decimal math by copying results like 0.6666667 into and out of a calculator, you've probably run into the same issues.
Stats are great and all, but what is the use of App.net?

Last week during Hurricane Isaac, most of NOLA was without power, our street was flooded, and my only communication with the outside world was via text messaging and Twitter. Twitter kept us up-to-date re: storm projections, conditions of the city, and everything else we needed to know. I did some searching of App.net for Isaac-related posts, and didn't find anything useful.

This is the moment that I realized that App.net is (at the moment) nothing more than a toy and novelty. Twitter is a UTILITY and it was indispensable during Isaac.

Even immediately post-Isaac, it was how we learned what stores (and bars) were open, where to get gas, and the status of roads and the utility companies. Hell, we even tweeted photos of road hazards to @nolaready and they were taken care of.

I'm a backer of App.net and I hope this reverses, but the current state is very clear.
YMMV But I typically do #1 when learning / starting anything I don't know about. That is I some proportional amount of time googling/wiki reading/pinging friends for all the info/standards/tools/libs around subject. Review* them for worth, spend more time with ones that pass.

It is very helpful to have a idea of the breadth of and resource for a subject.

Review typically means "experimental coding". The 2nd point "start coding now" is a Truism. Just don't start coding "production". Learn some, think, first.
Shepard Fairey Gets two years probation and a fine for tampering of evidence
While we're at it they need to remove the morality clause

In addition to the right of licensors to request removal of their name from the work when used in a derivative or collective they don't like, copyright laws in most jurisdictions around the world (with the notable exception of the US except in very limited circumstances) grant creators "moral rights" which may provide some redress if a derivative work represents a "derogatory treatment" of the licensor's work.

It effectively makes CC pointless. The whole point of CC is to declare that you don't need to ask the author's permission because he's already given it to you but the moral clause means he really hasn't given you permission and can deny you permission for any reason whatsoever.

That effectively makes CC no different as just plain all-rights-reserved where you need to ask.

Difflib - compute deltas in Python
Amazon is going to commoditize the entire tablet market, simply because they don't care about making profits on hardware, while everyone else, including Apple, does.

Microsoft is going to feel this as well, as manufacturers won't be very happy selling $200-$300 tablets with $100 ($200 for enterprise versions) Windows licenses. The tablet market is going to be commoditezed so much faster than the PC market. Hopefully, Amazon launches a smartphone with a similar strategy as well.

Intel will invariably be hurt by this, too, as people move to much cheaper, yet capable devices. Even if they succeed entering the tablet market with their Atom chips, they'll be be forced to have very competitive prices with ARM chips. So instead of selling $200 chips for ultrabooks and PC's, they'll be selling $20 chips. There's no way they can make it up in volume to keep or increase their current revenues and profits.
I love the design, it is clean and clear. How long did it take you to make this website and what did you use?
> Other hash applications (like hash tables) don't need that property

I'm unclear on what you guys mean by correlation, but if it means what I think it does I disagree with this. A hash table ideally has an uniform distribution regardless of the input, so any structured correlation with the input will harm this goal in real-world applications.
Marc Andreessen on changing the world
Perhaps you could prove your point by supplying 0.1 in a binary floating point format. You can choose the standard.
That's assuming that in 5 years from now Windows is going to be the popular UI platform. If much of the program is not about the UI, then C is a good choice, since whatever finger nail mounted laser projection display computer will become popular in the future, you'll have ANSI C projects ported to it quickly. C#, I'm not so sure.
"Conclusions:

It is evident that placebo effects are real and that they have therapeutic potential. Laboratory evidence supports the existence of numerous placebo mechanisms and effects in both healthy volunteers and patients with a variety of medical conditions. Furthermore, clinically relevant evidence demonstrates that placebo effects can have meaningful therapeutic effects, by virtue of magnitude and duration, in different patient populations. Although substantial progress has been made in understanding placebo effects, considerable scientific work remains to be done in both laboratory experiments and translational clinical trial research, with the ultimate aim of harnessing placebo effects to improve patient care.

And for that you can always call the native methods written in C, from C# - the support for doing this is excellent on both Linux and Windows. You can reference a function in a .DLL on windows and in a .so on linux.

You have a good point here, and we will share a lot more details around the template code on our blog soon. I hadn't heard specifically of BPEL but will check that out.

We went with the MVC pattern to leverage ours and others' experience in that architecture, but there is almost no typical MVC boilerplate to deal with in Forward.

You just create a new template file, like "mypage.html", and go, just like you would with raw HTML mockups. If you prefer to write controllers you can. If you want to write custom data models (for something like this {put [something] in "/my-custom-model"}), you can, but you don't have to.

This is meant to make it easy for less technical designers to move fast without having to learn MVC patterns.

I get that question all the time.. and my answer is always that my start-up is profitable. That means we cover all expenses (excluding salaries, but i don't mention that, it's a start-up!). So, even if we make $10 over the expenses.. we consider ourselves "profitable".

From Amazon.com "Your offers display on the lock screen and lower left hand corner of the home screen, they don't interrupt use of the device."

If they are displaying on the lock screen, how else would it work? I admit I am making an assumption, but I can't think of another way it would work.

> Seriously? The fact that an embedded video started playing soured your opinion of the article?

Sure, what's wrong with that opinion. I don't know how you browse but when I browse hacker news I'll open up 2-3 articles and their associated comments and start reading one.

When a video starts playing in the background when I'm not even on that tab, then yes, it can sour your opinion of the entire website.

Little things matter.
It definitely is polarizing, but I can see people liking it. At first it kinda jarred me too...but the more I read it, it actually grew on me pretty quickly.
But if it was open source and we knew exactly what it was capable of it would be easier to pass legislature that restricts it and makes certain uses of it illegal.

This stuff is coming one way or another and wouldn't you rather it be properly legislated? And that we as the public could know their capabilities?

re police abuse. Facial tracking goes both ways. The authority will, inevitably, acquire the tools of oppression. One of the few defenses is to have the same tools. In fact, being able to id and track the "watchers" is more important/freedom sustaining.

Also, science (as in allowing the code to be studied, learned from, spur further research and discovery) trumps paranoia over "big government".
Diversity does have concrete benefits that stem from a solid theoretical underpinning (comparative advantage). If everyone in programming has the same utility curve, then certain tasks or areas will always be "expensive". By introducing more diversity (gender being a large source of this), the production possibilities curve expands since more trade can occur and thus enable more specialization. Usability and design are areas where gender diversity could play a big role; there is no doubt in my mind that men and women perceive things differently when it comes to interaction logic and visuals.

Alfred Extensions - Remember to check how your credentials are stored
After installing the Drop In Pocket extension available for Alfred at http://jdfwarrior.tumblr.com/post/21650256216/drop-in-pocket-extension-allows-you-to-quickly, I suddenly wondered how the author was storing my credentials.

It happens that he simply uses an application called Authenticate.app located in the extension folder and a simple command allows you to have access to your username and password:

./Authenticate.app/Contents/MacOS/Authenticate -get username
moystard

Replace username by password, and tada, you get the password.

Not saying here that you should not use Alfred extensions, but it is good to be reminded sometimes that something that is initially convenient also leaks your precious credentials to a third party.

Michael Collins, astronaut
We all have different ways of learning. When it comes to programming, learning the fundamentals first can save a lot of time and frustration. Not everyone can pick a language and start learning right away.

I think a better way to start is by learning the fundamentals like:
- variable declarations
- if statements
- loops
- functions

Those fundamentals are the same whether you're doing backend coding or frontend javascript.

Remember, it's all syntax.
That legislation would only apply to entities following the law, though.
No, but having young fresh out of college developers prefer it over eclipse/VS, is new (to me), but I have a very narrow point of view of only the people I know from college / work / online.
I don't see that as a clause so much as a disclaimer. But the real trouble is that some countries don't allow an author to surrender their moral rights. I believe Germany is one of those.

So whether the CC license mentions it, in some countries it still matters.
I was thinking we could prove this with a blinded quiz: show you a post with no date or author, ask you to rate the quality, aggregate the results.

But it'd probably be too difficult to truly blind it; posts would reference startups or frameworks that didn't exist five years ago, or Obama, or other anachronistic events.

Re: API endpoint, that's exactly it.

Here are several equivalent ways of expressing this:

// PHP
$accounts = get("/accounts");

// Template
{get $accounts from "/accounts"}
{$accounts = get("/accounts")}
{$accounts = "/accounts"|get}

Here's a really cool side effect of the way the model result works...

{$account = "/accounts/123"|get}

{put [role => "admin"] in $account}

When converted to a string, they represent a model URI.
