Before I say anything, most arguments against JavaScript crypto assume you are using a browser to develop a web page; if you are not, then it shouldn't be any different than using any other quirky scripting language.

So, the goal of hashing the password is what... to keep from sending the password to the server? And the reason that you don't just do that (using SSL, for example) is because you don't trust the server, right?

Well, if you have compromised the server, you can probably just return a different version of the JavaScript that sends the password anywhere you want: the entire premise of JavaScript assumes you trust the server.

(The code could still come from your sever, and protect you and your user against an unrelated compromise in a JSONP API service you are using. FWIW, I think anti-JS crypto people are overly zealous.)
What's the business model on this? Are they selling data on users? Is there a premium version?

F.lux emulates an undergoing sun. That doesn't happen in 20 seconds. Set the transition time to Slow.

Also select the right type of lighting. If none of the types match your lighting, juggle a bit with the settings until your screen looks the same way a piece of paper would look in the same lighting.

If you do that, you won't notice it's running at all. The only reason I turn it off is when I'm watching a movie. The colours in a movie usually already take darkness in account.

I've played with the Lumia at Best Buy a few times. It's a solid, attractive phone and I wouldn't be ashamed to carry one at all.

I'm an iOS guy but as far as Windows Phone goes, I have to say it doesn't suck. I'm not saying that Microsoft's phone and tablet businesses will become a resounding success in spite of all current evidence, but I will say it would be a mistake to dismiss them.
I see. Yeah, I stand corrected.

I was conflating continuation-based and closure-based webservers because both allow straight-line code instead of explicitly managing url handlers.

And the traditional rhetoric in favor of this technique has come from Seaside, which popularized the name 'continuation-based' (http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7424; http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/2006/05/server-side-javascript....)

I'd never seen anybody say this is just an early-prototyping technique. But searching found Patrick Collison concur: http://www.quora.com/Whats-the-best-continuation-based-web-f...

It was too harsh to say it paints us into a corner; it is possible to replace fnid links with new defops. I went back and looked at the frontpage when not logged-in, and saw that there are 0 fnid links in that common case. (One possible way to gradually use a second server would be to just serve the frontpage off it. You'd need to move to a centralized store for user/profile/story objects, but the fnids table could continue to live on one server.)

It also turns out that there's at least one company trying to scale continuation-based servers (http://bc.tech.coop/blog/040404.html). So it was overly harsh to call it a dead end.
Maybe this is off topic, but Referly looks suspiciously similar in design to Fab. Even down to similar image overlays.

I have a Nokia 920 and its solid, really solid. I went back to my iPhone over Christmas (I do mobile development) and I was thankful when I got back to the 920. Its very fast, very functional, love updating tiles.

The only gotcha is music - the iPhone still crushes everyone on music apps / syncing / acquisition. Otherwise, the 920 was equal or better - even apps are coming along. Only missing Strava now for me.

Last I read, Nokia accounts for 75% of all WP device sales, which means we can estimate around 6 million WP devices were shipped (not sold) during Q4 2012. Unlike Apple (which also calls shipments "sales" in their quarterly report), Nokia devices aren't in incredibly high demand (other than perhaps the 920).

I can't really see how this is good news for WP when Android and iOS activated 17.1 million devices on Christmas Day alone. I can't imagine Q1 2013 being any better for Nokia when they have no major devices going out, and no major WP upgrades upcoming either.

I shoot service rifle at 600 yards on a range with wind flags at 100 yard intervals. It's not uncommon at that range for the wind to be blowing in opposite directions at each interval. At that range you can make an accurate read on the wind speed at the target purely from the mirage, reading vegetation movement is not necessary.

My understanding is that down range wind sensing systems do so by reading the mirage as well.

Hi! ZZP-er, still using Excel. (Well, Google Docs).

However, my first language is English. I do struggle a lot with Dutch taxes as my speaking is generally better than reading/writing.

Apart from all of the other considerations outlined here we also have a claim of increased disk performance without any actual evidence that this is the case.

Surely file_exists() is simply an operation on the disk index where the relevant block will be sitting in RAM from the first point that the operation is done. Subsequent operations on the same data shouldn't involve hitting the disk again until an actual write has occurred. Provided you have sufficient RAM this sort of thing is what kernel page cache is designed for.

Not to mention that thinking about a frequently used performance critical piece of PHP code doing large amounts of @fopen() and @unlink() fills me with dread.

I'm dealing with this all of the time, and I have a go-to solution for you (try it) – bury them in evidence. They aren't trying to argue YOU into something. They are trying to argue THEMSELVES into it, you just knocked their value-system over, after all; they want to KNOW they're STILL OK.

So, give them some more.

"Also worth noting that banks love to process debits before they process credits so you could have 100 units of money in yoru account with another 200 going in and 200 going out. You will then see that on your statment that they have the 100 then the -200 and then the +200, so indicating that you are -100 for a period, evil are they not."

I've had this happen to me, and a few years ago I happened to work for a short time with someone who had formerly been the president of a small regional bank. He confirmed that some banks do intentionally do that, and that many of the banking software systems had configuration options to decide what order to process data (debits or credits first) and that banks looking to make more money could just flip that switch and start raking in more fees.

It's really annoying to have people say that it doesn't happen when a) I've had it happen to me and b) I've had it confirmed by a banking executive.

I'm still trying to figure out whether the new watermark on the new banknotes is some kind of sick joke, a big 'f*ck you' to euro-sceptics, or simply a screw-up and testament to the lack of historical knowledge of the people who designed the notes.

For those of you who don't know what I'm getting at: the watermark on the new notes is Europe, the woman who -according to Greek mythology- was seduced by Zeus to ravish her, while he was disguised as a beautiful white bull. The bull abducted her while she was riding its back, into the sea, to the beaches of Crete (Greece), where he showed his true identity.

You don't need a whole lot of imagination to find an analogy between this story and what is going on with Greece and the Euro right now.

I don't know why manufacturers aren't using machined polycarbonate more the way Nokia and HTC do. It seems LG and Sony are just now trying to be where Apple was 2 years ago with the glass-back phones, which I think was a very poor material to use and a mistake on Apple's part.

I think they quickly realized that, but it took them a while to create an aluminum iPhone the right way, because as we know aluminum is not great for radio connections, so you'll have to arrange the radios in such a way that the body doesn't interfere with them, which is probably why it took them so long, and why they made the iPhone 4S identical to iPhone 4.

I won't even discuss Samsung, which seems to have a fetish for crappy plastic. If it were after me, phones would all have metallic bodies, because it feels the best in hand, but you won't get full metal bodies anyway, but a mixture of metal and plastic or glass (like iPhone 5).

The best compromise between being easy to make and also feeling solid in hand seems to be polycarbonate right now, and more manufacturers should be using it, along with more colors for their devices, as I'm getting really bored with the black and white "options". It's like most of them are afraid to even try other (bold) colors, and just want to appeal to the lowest common denominator, and in the same time complain about not being able to differentiate, other than changing the skin on Android, which I think it's just an easy way out for them, instead of actually doing interesting things with their hardware design.

The same thing applies to Nokia, which in the past have said that they wouldn't be able to differentiate with Android, but I think a Lumia-like device would've sold a lot more units with Android. Nokia's growth is being limited a lot by WP's own growth right now. They can only grow as fast as WP is growing, and if anything, it's Nokia pulling WP after them, rather than the other way around, which just goes to show how much better it would do with Android, which doesn't need to be "sold" to the public anymore.

Why early birds never get laid
I would agree with you, if the notion of Lisp was actually well-understood. But, unfortunately, I observe the contrary very often. That's exactly why I've wrote this rant.

For example, just a day ago in the previous Lisp discussion on HN (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5031505):

> It's not so much a question of "Why Lisp?" as it is a question of "Which Lisp?," if you ask me.

I can't imagine a similar question about C: "Which C would you use, gcc or clang, C++ or Java?" Can you? And that is because everyone understands what is C. Yet, I think, this understanding won't impede people from discussing something in the lines of "Is Go an acceptable C?" Just because C is so well understood you can clearly reason of it. But if you will say, that you use Lisp in a broad sense, this won't tell anything about your project, because it can be a very functional Clojure entangled with a lot of Java, or very academic and "pure" Scheme, or Common Lisp, or some obscure and very different dialect, like Nu or newLisp, or you've added your own "Lisp" dialect into a project... This doesn't help understanding, and it so happened, that there so many misconceptions about Lisp, that you have a hard time discussing it with people: first you have to educate them.

Speaking of Emacs Lisp. Indeed, it is a Lisp, and it is, actually, very similar to Common Lisp, just a more dated version, lacking some of the current Lisp features. But this case, likewise the case with AutoLisp, isn't a problem, as everyone can clearly draw a line between a general-purpose language and an embedded environment.

> The marriage was clearly over (despite not being officially over).

It is not clear that the relationship was over. A relationship involves two parties. If both parties are not clear that it is over, then it is not over. This is why formal divorce is important. It marks a clear end to the relationship with no room for misunderstanding or confusion. If they created the relationship with a formal marriage commitment then it is unethical to move on until there is a formal divorce, or at the very least a clear and communicated separation and intent to break the relationship. Now if she did everything she could to secure a divorce and he refused her, then it is a different story, but there is no evidence that this is the case here.

It is no longer just her choice to make. When she entered into the marriage relationship, she made a commitment to her husband. She made a promise. It is no longer just her choice.

This is a stretched analogy, but ethically similar, I believe: If I enter into a contract with a service provider (marriage relationship) and as part of their commitment to me they promise a certain level of service (fidelity), then they are obligated ethically to provide that level of service as long as they are within this contractual relationship. Unless we have written into the contract that either party can dissolve the relationship at any time without notice--uncommon for this kind of contract and extremely uncommon for marriage--then they are in the wrong if they choose unilaterally to end the relationship and fail to meet their committed level of service.

This is why adultery is often illegal. The only argument I can think of for making adultery legal is that we do not want the government this involved with people's personal lives. It may not be in fashion, but I firmly believe there is no moral or ethical justification for adultery.

I wonder what his reasoning for such a requirement is.

Theoretically, we might only recognize about half of those contradictors at any one time.

If these theoretical contradictors are evenly distributed, spherical, and massless, then it seems natural that around 50% will be busy contradicting other contradictors, and writing well thought out and earnest posts about how great the software is.

One can only hope that they all get sent out into a vacuum.
Very valid point, whilst some evils are necessary, I think it might be responsible of the author to point out the greater context of what he is doing and why so people don't start doing this willy-nilly.

If however the article was "How I replaced my engine using a crowbar whilst stuck in the desert with no other tools to hand" then everyone would understand a) don't do this in normal circumstance, b) there is another way to do it in less normal circumstances.
