It's a shame that there are still websites out there that requires you to register before you can read their articles.
Thanks guys! Looking forward to participating again next year!
[insert expletive here], Kathy, don't quietly slink away. It matters not a whit that not everybody is listening; many are. Whether we are enough or not, I can't say.

The worst of all possible outcomes is that one day Laura (and others like her) should awaken into the same harsh reality that blindsided you. And that will happen unless we, as a community, seriously address the tolerance we have for behaviour that simply should not be tolerated. We need to be reminded that it exists, and that while the behaviour might not be universally pervasive, a sort of tolerance of it, whether with a grudge or a giggle, is nearly so.

I truly hope that Laura never has her eyes opened in the way yours were, but that hope hinges largely on the scenery changing in the meantime. "Make your users awesome" was a message we needed to hear, and that cry was silenced not merely by direct action, but by tolerance as well. This message, if anything, is more important. Let those who have ears, at least, hear it.
Not that rich. I could write a two-sentence email on why I think blog posts should be long and well thought-out without irony; why not the reverse?
For one, as other people have pointed out, these are jokes. They aren't intended to belittle anything that is useless; they are just meant to provide a little perspective about something that is getting a lot of hype.

For another, the hype has been a bit excessive on this one. Calling this "the edge of space" is not really honest. He jumped from 23 miles up, from a balloon. Just the fact that he jumped from a balloon should make you stop to ask if it's really "space"; one of the defining features of "outer space" is that it's beyond Earth's atmosphere, and if a balloon is functional, it is not beyond the atmosphere. While where "space" begins is a bit of a fuzzy question, as the atmosphere slowly thins rather than stopping at an exact altitude, a commonly accepted limit is 100km (62 miles) above sea level. Other measures range from 50 miles to 76 miles. Regardless, 23 miles is nowhere near "the edge of space".

Now, he did break some impressive records; highest manned balloon flight, highest skydive, and greatest speed in free fall. But he did not, by most measures, approach the edge of space. So throwing in a little perspective about that is not bad, it's just deflating the hype a little.

I haven't (read Ulysses) so hopefully I am not hijacking the conversation, but your comment on why, beyond pure entertainment prompted me. I rarely get the chance to trot out one of my favorite Twain quotes, but now is the time: The classics are the books which everyone wants to have read but no one wants to read.

In my experience a big part of "the classics" seem to be using them as some kind of gamer achievement to prove your erudition. An argument can be made for them leading to a wider world view or exposure to thought provoking/timeless concepts, but I don't think enough people truly read them at that depth/for that reason. I like to read and have a reasonably broad library, but I find it tiresome to discuss literature with a lot of people as I don't have a formal education in the space and most people that want to chat about it snicker if you say you first encountered Boethius in A Confederacy of Dunces or that you prefer Candide to The Metamorphosis or you like One, No One and One Hundred Thousand over, say, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.

They list that they support source maps in the features:

These are really impressive, thanks for sharing. Silk is hypnotic and relaxing.
This is a neat/good idea. I would love to hear if there is a counter argument why NOT to do this, though. However, your current logic makes a lot of sense to me. It's awesome that you (the OP of the article -- if it's not the HN op) could think outside of the box for this great solution.

The only argument I could potentially see is that by coming through the provider and not the "sendee" is the "real" mailbox spam filter. Maybe "joe@bob.com" gets marked as spam in the mail client but not if it's from "Google+", etc.
"Sexist" is advocating discrimination based on gender in the same sense that "theory" is used to trivialize evolution. Both mean a whole lot more than a brief look at them outside of the context in which they are rooted leads one to believe.
Yes, I'm wondering if there's a way to keep the source maps private.
I agree this is a less important issue today than some years back. However is it worth noting;

1) MS 'might' get this fine. It is not a done deal so this headline of fining them for billions is a little sensationalist.

2) The fine is not now for anti-competitive behavior, but for breaching their settlement from 3 years ago, a time when MS did dominate, chrome was a distant blip on the radar and the browser landscape was quite different. See 2009: http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser-eu-monthly-200807-201210
> The problem is that while I know all the ins and outs of python(ish) this task seems daunting.

This seems entirely expected -- you have a good background in a programming language, but no real training in software design, which is to say, in breaking down a large project into useful components, setting and using appropriate abstractions, and managing complexity. This is unsurprising, since this is an entirely different sort of task than just knowing the syntax of a language.

There are several good options here, like the textbooks _Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs_ and _How to Design Programs_, both freely readable online. Reading things like ESR's summary of the UNIX philosophy (http://www.catb.org/esr/writings/taoup/html/ch01s06.html) might also help -- much of the UNIX philosophy exists to manage complexity in a huge system.

Another good option is to look at high-quality existing free/open-source software and understand how it's designed and why. If you can, find something you want to change in it and contribute it back. The skills you'll develop in understanding how to find your way in a large software project will serve you well in designing a large software project yourself.
HBase 0.94.2 release
Yup, definitely worth it! Imagine almost 5 million people essentially watching an almost 3 hour long (very interesting and groundbreaking!) Red Bull commercial around the world.

I think if we did the math at base advertising/marketing rates - this project would still work out quite cheap for that kind of exposure!

Daring indeed!
If you're nitpicking, then I guess technically it's a loss on profit ...
Googled around and seems like Anthony Watts is a noted anti-environmentalist. His bread and butter seems to be disputing the validity of -any- study which shows significant impacts and threats to ecosystems and/or the biosphere from human activity.

Not saying that his criticisms are wrong, but it sounds like if anyone were going to wave off bad news about the GBR and say 'oh it's fine, don't worry,' it'd be him.

You've all completely missed the point: anyone who knows technology thinks that Nokia phones are junk (myself included). But the clear message from the article is that the developing world still thought Nokia was awesome!

Elop destroyed the brand. It's very clear from the timing of his burning platform communication to the destruction of sales.

The game is over for Nokia. Pretty soon they'll be worth the collective value of their patent portfolio, and that's it.
Nice addition of Amazon content!
Google Wants to Join the Party, Not Crash It
Suppose you could use a balloon to get to LEO altitude. You're still not in orbit. Anything that actially is in orbit will come hurtling at you faster than a bullet. Most of the fuel used in getting to LEO is used to achieve orbital speed, not orbital altitude. So the question of ground launch vs space launch is really one of where your engines operate most efficiently, or if you can avoid air friction in the dense lower atmosphere, or that sort of thing. Baumgarnter was nowhere close to "10% of the way to the ISS."
We have a few rough things - which we were unable to finish within 48 hours.

Feedback will be much appreciated - Will follow up soon with a blog post.
Most responses were zingers or did not show a basic understanding for what he said. They are noise, and noise is not worth defending.

Surely you see the problem with that line of argument.

His piece was hardly insightful. In fact, he did not show a basic understanding of the issues he was pontificating on and the piece was mere noise, not worth defending by anyone.

Once you start trying to parse out who's right, you're missing the point of free speech aren't you?
Is this stuff actually anything new? It seems like free-speech has been under constant assault as long as such rights have been recognized.

The precise details shift around a bit, but free speech has always been something that has to be actively maintained: formal guarantees aren't—and I think have never been—sufficient. I don't think there's ever been a time when you could just sit back and enjoy it...

[The reason I ask is because the article seems to written to give the impression that is some sort of worrying new development...]

But you need a spacecraft to get an astronaut back up anyway. I don't know; I guess you could launch large capsules that were just space station components and add them on to your space station with every launch.

How do you deal with minified JS (which is what you normally have in production)?
HAHAHA in Google it is such fucking thing in Google land what the heck it sucks
Why do you need to "argue" with it?

I read it as more of a precautionary tale: don't immediately dismiss something because you haven't seen it happen first hand, or it's not an issue within your immediate circle.

Nice name, great idea. I hope this takes off.

I notice that the ranking mechanism is automatic according to the altmetric score. Are you planning on integrating HN style upvoting, and potentially alternate filtered lists for most upvoted (similar to HN's front page)? I suppose the problem with that is that scientific publishing moves at a much slower pace than the sort of content HN deals in.
Oh jesus. Before anyone considers responding to Gavan, take a look at his comment history. He has a habit of posting completely unsubstantiated opinions, presented in the most odious manner he can manage. He relates to his confabulations as if they were fact and expects you to do the same.

Edit: I am only talking about your history on social issue threads. You appear to be quite talented otherwise, apparently you wrote Genesis 3D which was pretty awesome. Still, you present yourself on social questions in a way that is pretty much indistinguishable from trolling.

Yeah gets like that every September or so. I've taken to calling it, "It's always September or so"
Breaking the readability is the trade-off you have to make, though I think it's worth it for production code, it really brings the file sizes down and if you concatenate all your javascripts in to a single file you can really cut down on requests too.

If you use Google chrome you can click the '{}' icon inside the developer tools to 'pretty print' the javascript which helps a little!

There's also JavaScript Source Maps which you might want to look in to: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/developertools/source...
Hey I was wondering how you do this technically? Do you for example give Joe Smith a new email address (i.e. joe.smith@service.com)? Or do you change the name-addr for a no-reply@service.com?

What about triggering scam warning?
I said the same thing last time a company came along that did deployments. Why would I trust a 3rd party rights to my whole system. Sell the product as software I can install and I'd think about it, until then I wouldn't even sign up.

Facebook sends email notifications about new messages with the sender's name in the From field, but uses an address like "notification+[randomid]@facebookmail.com". In Gmail, at least, the sender name is prominently placed, while the actual address is rather hidden.

Edit: This seems to only apply to posts made in groups.
Nice job. Great graphics.

For what reason? It's not as if minifying your assets is a reliable form of security.
What does this do that running a Jenkins server couldn't do?
Whoa, modules with dozen of classes and 2450 lines of code! They definitely don't rely on file-navigation.

Project is great, but I've got a feeling that many smallish components have been already implemented, but here they were rewritten from scratch.
Yeah, but when I try to set up a deploy button...

The distinction is that this particular "handicap" applies to 51% of the whole population. It's not unreasonable to consider it more important than the other ones.
They mention that they use source maps (http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/developertools/source...) at the bottom of the page.
The Why is More Important Than the What
Deploying code is trivial.

What about databases?

What about multiple code/DB versions and rollbacks?

What about rolling out to one data center and directing 1% of the traffic there?

What about fast P2P deployments?
Nice. First thought evoked: "Scenes From A Night's Dream Lyrics" by Genesis
Hey guys, thanks for the feedback. As you may already know, this was built for the 48hour Rails Rumble hackathon. So it will definitely have quirks and there's a ton of stuff we had to cut (like collab git access instead of full oauth which i believe would have solved most security concerns).

Dropbox let us set things up nicely, where we opt for only a single folder (Apps/DeployButton) and we can only see stuff you place directly inside.

The main appeal of DeployButton for me was to have a service I could easily connect to Campfire/Hipchat to script out deployments from there. It's not that deploying is "hard", it's that it's tedious and I believe should always done as a collaborative experience instead of solo.

More feedback greatly appreciated. Site and workers are already overloaded (we didnt anticipate an HN post). So apologies in advance.
The fact that it's difficult to argue with doesn't make it not true.
TinyMCE, CKEditor, CuteEditor, etc. There are over 60 public popular WYSIWYG web editors, about half of them are mature and free. Why would someone want to move to this, when it is fairly new and also not free?
Your source code is not that special. Really. Do you really think you have some clever trick nobody else has considered, and that you can successfully hide it behind minification? Come on.
I also found Kathy's blog very insightful and it's a great tragedy that she stopped writing.

An eye-opener for me was her "Is Twitter TOO good?" post:
http://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/2007/0...

For me, this opened up how I thought about products, especially in terms of psychology. I can't really remember when I have read that insightful posts from anybody else (and Kathy had a ton of them).
Great. Now make a big blue button to write the app for me as well, and a green one to send me all the money.

Ouch. Looks pretty complex. Has anybody here tried it? Any feedback?
Felix Baumgartner Breaks Sound Barrier
This is what we're doing too. I was not aware that Facebook does the same.
Of course Gawker would soy that.
The conclusions of this analogy are fairly offensive if you only consider race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality in the equation.

Who has it worse: A middle class white woman of that grew up with loving parents that supported her fascination with computers who now has to deal with an environment that seems strangely tolerant, by 21st century standards, of misogynistic behavior, or a straight white man who grew up poor with abusive parents and was bullied in school for his entire childhood (hell, maybe he even has some sort of mental or physical handicap!), but managed to focus his free time on learning about computers anyways, and does not today deal with racial or sexual discrimination in his workplace?

That's an extreme example, but I've heard enough startlingly ignorant retorts along the lines of "you don't understand, it doesn't matter how bad you had it, women always have it worse," or "how dare you spend most of your free time learning in front of a computer!" to know that I'm happier keeping the "privilege" debate out of mind.

I also think it's ridiculous to claim that a trans person is playing on "hard mode," while a "hacker girl" is playing on "nightmare mode." I don't think "possibly deals with some misogynistic behavior in her workplace and possibly feels discouraged by the lack of women in her field" is anywhere near as bad as having to deal with the scorn of a very large portion of society, possibly being disowned by one's parents (and very likely some kind of disappointment or other negative behavior from them otherwise, even if they try to be accepting), being avoided even by people who mean no harm (especially if you can't pass), or the constant mixture of shame, self-denial, and wistfulness you feel if you decided to accept living as the gender you didn't want to be. Ok, I think I've scraped enough off the tip of that iceberg.

Regardless, I think it's ultimately about as pointless to try to rank people by the amount of "privilege" they "enjoy" as it is to have a discussion about which fictional character would beat who in a fight. Why would you try to take someone's achievements away from them for the sake of an argument or a cause? That's just rude.

I can't wait for us to reach the "end game" where everyone has learned to be professional and only judge people by the results they bring to the table, but while I hope there is a path to it that does not focus on wracking every white, male, and/or straight person with guilt and witch hunting everyone who dares express the slightest hint of a contrary opinion, maybe I'm just a dreamer who doesn't know anything and the only way to change culture is to declare thermonuclear war on the loudest mouths and wait for everyone else to fall in line out of fear.
why would you link to a tertiary source?
You've misunderstood what "responsive" means.

Text growing to fill the width of the page is the default mode of the web. The ability to control the width of text came much later. What has only recently become practical - and what people mean by "responsive" or "fluid" layout - is the ability to intelligently reformat the page to suit the available container, by for instance using a layout that can grow from a single column to five or six columns depending on the container width, or by removing or simplifying certain navigation elements in very small containers.

Designing around a fixed layout is a very bad idea. Viewers with smaller than anticipated containers will have to scroll horizontally and users of wider than anticipated containers will be frustrated by large areas of whitespace. Your layout is liable to break completely if a user is substantially altering your page layout, for reasons of accessibility or convenience.

Responsiveness is about designing sites that are maximally readable and usable on all devices; When done well, sites will effortlessly adapt to new devices and new form-factors.

Meta/Off-topic:

Is there a mechanism in HN that auto-deadlinks certain domains? I submitted google.com.sg a couple of hours ago (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4653135, submitted before I saw this post), and it was deadlinked by the time the page refreshed.

We're just changing the from name for the email, and each notification has a unique email address associated with it, so it shouldn't trigger any scam warning.
Losing The Plot
You've got it backwards. It is completely impractical to build an entire spaceship, and then throw it away after every launch. Reusable vehicles are the only way to get launch costs down.

You can boil the transportation cost function down to a single independent variable: flight rate. For low flight rates, the costs per flight are very high, and are dominated by the labor of the engineers who design and build the vehicles. For higher flight rates, the costs drop, and are dominated by the costs of the physical materials used to build the vehicles. And for the highest flight rates, the costs bottom out and are dominated by the cost of fuel. All current modes of transportation (cars, buses, trains, ships, and airliners) have their cost dominated by the fuel cost. Only space travel is the outlier. Why? Because we're throwing every vehicle away after a single use!

Not to mention, any launch vehicle must have a capsule able to withstand re-entry anyway, to handle high-velocity launch aborts, so you might as well use it for an actual reentry later.

And to answer your original question, you could conceivably survive reentry from orbital velocities using a very large ballute:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballute

But it would probably need to be so large as to be impractical.
