Little Red Riding Hood Halloween Costume for Girls
I dunno, it seems like the most changeable cause of her distress is her choice to taunt a bunch of known . . . bad elements of internet society. That doesn't make it good that this happened to her, but it's also a true observation.
I have a kind of unvoluntary ping to my mailbox hosted at Gmail / Google Apps, "Buy Vigara" (sic) messages that arrive with a few minutes intervals since months ago. Google sorts them as spam correctly, but it is interesting to see how they are less and less frequent over the past hours. (Yes my domain is on godaddy)
In this instance, I do blame the victim for creating this situation (assuming she wasn't set up). She taunted /b/. (If you read her sign, it says "you will never reveal my true identity.") This is not a case of a person going about their own business and being arbitrarily targeted. Of course, I don't condone what 4channers did, but she asked for it by taunting a well-known group of trolls.
Does Safari Reader allow storing articles as the re-formatted version rather than as an original bookmark?

I think the new-Readability style is contentious, wherein the content is stored re-formatted, whereas the old style was just basic JavaScript, no different from a downloaded GreaseMonkey userstyle.
How about the NDAA, which allows for treating American citizens as "enemy combatants"?
Alternatively work at a company that prioritizes quality and clarity of thought over deadlines and interruptions. Most of management's problems are management's creation. If you want to create quality products don't embrace their philosophy. Hiring people like Gabriella is how the company goes out of business as faster and more nimble competitors roll out updates to customers while managerial companies pile hack on top of hack.

All the deadlines may have been hit but nothing of value was produced. It's the classic efficiency vs. effectiveness trade off.

If Rodrigo wants to hit deadlines all he needs to do is increase his estimates. It's usually easier to teach someone how to game the managerial system than it is to teach someone to code.

This is a classic case of the CSL dynamic as expressed in the Gervais principle, the issue is that Rodrigo is a loser, he know's he's not being fully compensated but his coding skill makes up for having to participate in the bureaucracy, hence he doesn't care because he isn't clueless and thus will never be promoted to middle management. He's making the best of a bad situation.
There is that somewhat famous quote by Joseph de Maistre that translates to "every nation gets the government it deserves".

Judging on the government that America currently has, and recently had, I am starting to wonder if the American People really are so bad as to truly deserve that....
Sounds like someone wants to be a big shot but doesn't have a thick enough skin to deal with criticism. His app is completely worthless without other people's content.
Right, I think the poster you're replying to understands that. The question is that, given there's a command-line interpreter (php-cli), built as part of a normal build, which will execute PHP files and print the output, why do your tests need to go over HTTP at all?
Very excited about this. Been working on neo4j for a while and looking forward to moving to Titan.

Yes, the Patriot Act sucks, even for many conservatives, but for shit's sake, man up and quit defending him. He had 2 fucking years to make any changes he wanted. Also, the Dems rolled through the entire Patriot Act. So, it seems like your beef is as much with them as with their opponents.

True, this isn't 14 yr old Jessi Slaughter. However, spreading her paid porn videos around for free must make a dent in all of this.

I don't know if the publicity will be worth it if they're desecrating graves now.
Are you intimidated by her?

Are you sure she's smarter? Maybe she's just more assertive and/or forceful?
This is incorrect. Coders are as diverse as people. Some work for the money, some like coding, some hope to move up to management, some are marking time until they find something better, some are this, some are that; they cross the whole spectrum of humanity just like everyone else.

If you don't trust such methods of installation, you don't have to use them. Also, you can always look at the source of the script if you don't trust said method and choose for if you want to install by hand, use the script, or just don't use the tool at all. You really can't fault Yeoman because they want to make it easy and painless to install their tool.

For the people that want to check out the script:

Yes.. it is very bad of them, I agree. I just don't see the point in being very nervous. They will sort it out and I can switch. It is not like my domain is stolen and can't be taken back.
Hey, sorry about the issues. Not sure if it is gumroad or what. I'll be happy to send you a copy of the ebook if you'd like, just send me an email: rdegges@gmail.com
Gumroad was down, so rdegges emailed a preview to me. After a quick skim of the preview, I checked and gumroad was back. The book is definitely worth at least $1 / chapter to me, so I contributed $15. I'm looking forward to digging in.
huh... but wasn't he saying, in this, that he was looking for the extreme outliers? I thought that's what a 'black swan' was.
Another option is the Linode DNS Manager. They also have a pretty decent (as far as I can tell, never used it, have my own solution) API for managing them. Or you can just do it via the website.

As far as I can tell it's free of charge, as you only need to be a member, but since I host two of my external DNS servers there I cannot actually check that you don't have to be a customer. Maybe a fellow HN user can verify?

On another note, hosting DNS is really easy once you get the grip on how things work.
So, more focused and motivated, then?
Yeah that one got me planning how to replace all the mattresses and pillows in my house too !
nice first post
I'd also recommend taking a look at cloudflare, their DNS service is supposed to be pretty fast, I haven't done any measuring myself but here's a recent post they wrote: http://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-aka-kickassdns

So far I've been very happy with their service and it's nice to not only get good DNS hosting but also some security and CDN support.

I switched everything away from Godaddy along time ago. In the past, oh I dont know, maybe year or so, it seems like Godaddy has received so much negative publicity. First with the elephant killing, then with supporting SOPA and now this.

Stylish CSS Switch Buttons
I just started using Pocket, and have found it a much nicer experience than Instapaper all around. This reminds me to take the Instapaper button off my bookmarks bar...
I agree. This site seems to call-out anything with a certain kind of texture as "skeumorphic," and many of the examples are quite attractive on their own.

But I think you're pigeonholing it into a certain school of design. I don't see it calling out just any texture -- only a certain range commonly found in software these days (especially on iOS). I'm talking about denim, paper, stone, leather, and other rough, durable surfaces that remind us of certain tactile sensations. (I'd also add a category for shiny, glossy, perhaps candy-like textures.) It certainly makes sense for these kinds of textures to appear most commonly on touch devices, but as designers it's good to understand when we're being a bit derivative.

If anything, skeu.it will help me be more self-aware.
How did you go from "bears have no moral responsibility" to "it's okay to shoot bears"?
True, but Ruby also has late binding. Ruby also has open classes, so you could (in theory) do something very close to SLIME with Ruby.

The problem is, Ruby also has singleton classes and singleton methods, so there's no guarantee that a change made in code and evaluated in the runtime will have the desired effect. Actually, Clojure has a similar problem with defonce, but in practice I've found that Clojure works much better with the SLIME development model than Ruby does.
I'm learning so much reading through this. Absolutely fantastic, love it.
Cedexis is hiring
I believe in public schools and guaranteed-issue health insurance more than I believe that the PATRIOT act, which I do not support, is a vitally important issue that is destroying the republic with each passing minute. If we were, instead of making it easier for the FBI to unaccountably streamline judicial oversight --- which, again, is bad --- if we were instead interning Japanese people in camps, or blacklisting people from civil service jobs for supporting unions --- my judgement would be different.

These are, of course, my private political beliefs, and not at all relevant to the thread. They are the kind of thing you get, as opposed to details of the actual bill we're ostensibly discussing, when ask someone on a message board thread to "man up and quit defending" a candidate for office.
Yes. Actually I limit myself to 79 columns! Not sure why, maybe to escape the idea that 80 is a punch card inherited limit... I am thinking to switch to 72, that's the RFCs limit.

As for 1), it is indeed terribly worded, my guess they refer to companies patenting DNA sequences and then requiring a payment for the exported food,nbut obviously there are multiple interpretations. May be it's worder this way on purpose. :)

Humm... I was talking about "true" good coders (kidding).
I've been through this precise problem both from a developer's as well as a consumer's standpoint.

As a developer, when we built Unifyphotos(http://export.goyaka.com/) to transfer photos from flickr to facebook, and got some traffic peaks, it was lot of work to scale up the download_from_flickr -> scale_photos -> upload_to_Facebook process, and we had 6 machines just doing this. Wish Filepicker.io was there back then. We could just have worried about the features and not the infrastructure. Even better, if Facebook used Filepicker, there would have been no need for a service to migrate those photos.

From a consumer side, I've often had to download my Facebook profile pic and upload as profile pic on sites like trello, basecamp, etc. If only they used Filepicker.io...
haha, "bears do not have any moral responsibility, therefore, it is ok to shoot them". What!? Don't let PETA hear that.
Sometimes, a victim deserves blame. If you run through the bad part of town shouting racial slurs at the inhabitants and calling them cowards, you can certainly be blamed for provoking what likely happens afterwards.

Note that blame is not a zero-sum game. Blaming the victim does not diminish the blame assigned to the attackers, nor does it in any way justify what they do.
Adding editorial opinions to Instapaper seems like a Bad Idea. People using it just want to read content, and being told "I disagree with this site" is only going to piss them off.
In some programming languages/platforms (e.g. Java), the product that you distribute can indeed be reverse engineered in a way that most original names are kept. But there are tools to obfuscate the code before turning it into something executable.

In some others (e.g. C), the executable that's distributed pretty much talks the language of the underlying machine, so the original code structure and naming are not preserved.
Just some ideas to improve your ego:

Marathon runner - Result of LOTS of training; you shouldn't count this at all, except to say she's motivated to run.

Successful artist - Creative, skilled, and/or knows what people will buy. Are you a successful <insert job position here>? How did you get there? Surely you have some combination of skills that got you there.

Quickness of learning - Perhaps she knows the optimal learning style for herself, and you do not.

MD + BSc - Time management plus being able to retain the information and apply it. This could relate to the quickness of learning.

Now for the bad news: Maybe you're legitimately "not as smart" as your girlfriend, for whatever definition of "smart" you're using. Not everything is about pure IQ scores.

I agree with the other comments that people have different areas of skills, and everyone may not have the same ability level in a given area, but the idea is that your skills complement each other.
The "leather" tagged posts on the front page are more than "black texture". Both of them feature "thread stitching" along the borders. I thought these were the worst of the bunch, actually.

I agree that the "Skeumorphism must die" meme has gotten out of hand. But the examples on this site are actually pretty well justified AFAICT.
I wonder which is easier: training Rodrigo to communicate well, or training Gabriella to program? I suspect it's the former, though you might first have to convince him that communication is important at all. Being able to train in both directions is important when your company gets big enough.

I suspect that companies which are product-focused can probably get away with (a little) less concern for deadlines, as they can more easily push back a release if they want to focus on quality. I've often worked in service or client-oriented settings, and the temptation of hiring the Gabriella is real: she might not be the best programmer, but at least she actually answers your damn emails when the client is angry! It's not a recipe for long-term quality, but occasionally short-term is really damned important. :)
No, the NDAA did not allow the President to do that. The 2002 AUMF that started the Iraq War did. What Obama's detractors are mad about W.R.T. the NDAA --- apart from the ones who don't understand what the NDAA is, and believe that it is actually a bill that specifically authorizes the President to bomb people from drones --- what they're mad about is that Obama did not VETO the NDAA in order to RESCIND the authority that the executive ALREADY HAD from the AUMF.

Vetoing the NDAA, which passes every year, would have involved not paying soldiers. In the United States, it's the legislative branch, not the executive, that gets to decide the terms on which we pay people.
Marco has actually been quite influential in my growth as a developer, I have nothing against him personally. That being said, I do not want to pay for a service that limits my access to content when there are other similar services that do not.
Yeah, "don't be a dick" is a good baseline for most things in life.
I think you are missing a massive detail here, quite a few.

What concerns me a little more than how the poorly developed people on /b seem to be deciding that targeting people just by association is acceptable for retaliation, is whats going to happen when they annoy someone that's living in a less digital world.. Ergo, someone that actually isn't afraid of using the virtual ante and responding physically
Private App Distribution Platform for Developers
Automattic (the company behind wordpress) has their privacy policy and ToS under a creative commons sharealike license, so they may be a good template for you to base yours on. I used it as a template for my startup, and it only took a couple hours of tweaking to adapt it to my purposes. In any event, it's a good resource: http://automattic.com/privacy/
This is a question of trade off.
As a developer if you bug me and ring me every 5 minutes so I can extinguish fires to please the management, I tell you I won't hit any deadline and I gonna produce shitty code.

As a dev team manager I always try to create the correct environment so people are protected from management noise.
They can be efficient at what they do and hit the deadlines.
At the same time you need to tool your team to clearly separate what is urgent from what is not so you can disturb their work flow only if the emergency worth it.
Unfortunately lack of hosting-related knowledge is indicative through and through here even to the actual startups out of YC. Is it too much to ask for someone to know the latest buzz about Rails but can't spell DNS? Good luck if you choose this as your crusade to educate.

>This for example, I've never seen a leather item in meat-space with aluminum buttons.

The leather and metal buttons remind me of an old camera (or one such as a Leica with a timeless design). As an example: http://i.imgur.com/EfGW5.jpg

I feel like that UI would go just fine with a camera or photo-related app.

But it totally doesn't work at all for something that I'm assuming is more along the lines of a magic 8-ball.
Thank you for the kind words! I am actually in the process of preparing it for publication. Will be sure to let HN know when it ships...
Don't generalize. The reality is that for certain apps (esp. simple, data-driven ones a la ebooks), web is certainly not overcomplicated, and in many times can be nearly indistinguishable from a native app. And it is -- albeit slowly -- getting better.

Disagree.

"Informing everything they could"?

That's why if you go to fitfu.com it's plastered with Buy Now, "Amazing Price Right Now", and not "Will be gone in six weeks"?
I am a major fan and paying user of Instapaper and similar services. But how are they not stealing content from others to provide their services? Read it later apps are useless without content. Websites may provide an abysmal reading experience, but it is their property and they can present it as they please. Even if I don't like it and prefer to use Instapaper, it is still theft of a certain kind. So, yes, Instapaper/Safari Reader/Adblock/Reeder are scrapers in my estimation.
This is an example of insufficient abstraction, not clarity: make_person_an_outside_subscriber_if_all_accesses_revoked

Generally, virtual machine or interpreted languages have such symbol information available, native compilers tend to not include such things in the binary.

It is not that big of a deal though. On platforms like Java or .NET, you can run an obfuscator to strip out names and leave confusing looking strings.

But it only increases reverse engineering complication very slightly. If you're trying to protect a small secret (like a key validation or special algorithm), you're out of luck, even if you strip symbol names. If you're trying to prevent wholesale ripoff of your app, legal action is more effective.

Making your code "worse" is a terrible tradeoff for approximately zero gain.
An easy way to always sound like you're defending the establishment in threads like these is to read the bill before commenting. I don't mean this in a snarky way at all; I'm not saying "you could only oppose this bill if you haven't read it". I oppose the bill. But because I've also read the bill, I cannot project onto it as broadly as most of the thread can.
I'm pretty sure big media considers fair use an obscene concept, but I don't really see how is that relevant, since I didn't say ten seconds of a song should become fair use.
In all fairness, lots of these are just people on Dribbble flexing their photoshop muscles.

The peacoat on off switch wouldn't be great in your app (unless you're selling peacoats or something) but it still looks kinda cool.

Wow - you're seriously a hero. Thanks so much for building the test and thanks (even more) for the blog post (especially the legwork on pricing). I look forward to the day when "can we jump on a call?" sales processes are well and truly dead and self-service and transparent pricing is the norm.
