Couldn't this be done trivially enough by creating your own fake girlfriend account and commenting on your own page?

Thanks for the comments (and about the name further down, unfortunately I didn't consider that, but I'll stick with it for now).

I'm hoping to add some more options into the nav later, like using an API that allows me to add logging in/upvoting posts and some more settings options (theme being one).

Again, thanks for the comments and criticism, it'll make this app better for the next release.
recieve => in this sentence "You will recieve promotion, expert social media strategy," is misspelled. other than that, I think it looks awesome.

well, except if I go to hipset.com or www.hipset.com -> neither of which work for me (Chrome Version 23.0.1271.101 on Macbook Pro OSX 10.7.5). I get a whirly box that doesn't do anything.
Also one more thing, 'There's no unintuitive buttons' seems like a weird statement to me. What's especially unintuitive about buttons?
C++ never really lets you enjoy your abstractions because they're always so leaky. Low-level implementation details are always percolating to the surface. In practice I don't find C++ code any more readably abstract than similar C code.

A really good example is libfirm versus llvm. The former is in C< the latter is in C++. They're both roughly the same order of magnitude in size (at least the core). They're both highly optimizing compilers. I find the former far more clear and readable.

I personally find C++'s abstractions to be of questionable value. YMMV.

Derive your encryption key from the contents of the file and a "convergence key". The "convergence key" can then be null for global convergence, a shared secret for a privately shared convergence, or a random nonce for no convergence. The derived encryption key is stored the same in every case. When encrypting a file, clients trade off using space versus a file getting deleted if the server is required to remove the ciphertext. The server never knows the difference.

The popular pi distros usually support SSH by default.

Another solution would be software that finds the pi on your network. You could just use an ip scanner, but a specialized one could filter out any other devices that happen to be running an ssh server or listening on an ssh port.

I will mention that IAD airport in TSA's backyard still have a complete array of Rapiscan scanners, with no sign of being replaced. Each scanner is slightly rotated away from the next. One might postulate that the xray leakage off to the sides of the scanners would have a compounding effect on TSA workers if the scanners were arranged perfectly in line.
Article doesn't say it, but the Rapiscan scanners are x-ray backscatter based, about which there are significant health concerns. The L-3 (ProVision) scanners are millimeter wave based.

Ugh. I'm from North Dakota. That's cattle country out there, primarily, with soy, wheat and canola as the main crops. City folk don't know their head from their ass on a farm.

Anyway.

If we're flaring off 29% of our gas, a fairly good reason is that we've got nowhere to put it and nobody wants to invest in more infrastructure at the moment because 1) Natural gas (which we've also got in abundance) is meeting needs at already low prices and 2) The oil development isn't anywhere near completely built out.

I don't personally care for the existence of video games and movies that are super violent just for the sake of being violent.

But here's the thing - plenty of other countries have full access to all these video games, movies and even their fair share of mentally ill.

What they do not have is constant mass slaughters like this, and that's because they don't have the guns-are-toys mentality we do and open access to as many guns as you want, as powerful as you want, without tracking, liability or lack of social pressure to stop.

Sadly nothing will be done and in a decade we'll have a mass-killing anniversary for every day of the year and everyone will just be desensitized. Instead we'll have armed guards at every place where more than 10 people gather and like the TSA everyone will say "oh well, what can you do".

just as likely to accidentally shoot a child as they are to do any good with a weapon

You know, this isn't the first time I've heard this sentiment, and -- without meaning offense -- I think it reflects a simple ignorance of the practical realities of handling firearms. I don't know whether you're referring to someone trying to shoot an assailant and missing, or simple failure to follow safe handling, but . . .

I think maybe an analogy will help. From my perspective, it's as if someone said, "I don't want strangers driving cars near schools, because I think there's a significant risk they'll run over children accidentally." From my perspective, I know how much control a driver has over a car, how well they pay attention, the rules pedestrians follow and how well drivers respect them . . . and I'm not really worried about it. Every morning, I see bazillions of children walking to school, passed by bazillions of strangers driving cars right next to them, and I just don't give it a second thought.

The person I'm talking to does, though. He seems to think cars drive up on the sidewalk all on their own, all the time.

Sure, a malicious person could run over a child. Sure, a crazy or drunk or just irresponsible person could get a hold of a car and do a lot of damage. But those are both rare problems and not really specific to cars (or helped by laws). A normal person, in a normal traffic situation, will spend their whole lives driving and absolutely never be danger of accidentally shooting a child.

I hate it when people say, "Your opinion on a topic isn't valid if you haven't done X," but I'm going to say something really similar. Not as a way to invalidate your opinion, but . . . I really do think that folks who claim to have a serious opinion on gun issues should at least spend an afternoon at a range once. Spend $50, take a class, rent a gun, and work through a box of ammo. It's fun, and you'll learn what guns are, how they're safely handled, how dangerous they are (and aren't) when handled responsibly, and . . . well, for lack of a better way to say it, learn how much control even first-time shooters have over them.

I know that comes off as a snarky, "I know more than you" post, and it's not intended that way, really. It's just that I really do think a lot of the fear of guns is fear of the unknown. I honestly wish a firearms safety course was routine, like driver's ed, and then maybe we'd all at least understand the object we're talking about.
Gonna' implement the scroll-down on the next release. That's a great idea.
Actually, it's based on the radical notion that our brains are not made out of a magical substance that's immune to genes and hormones. In a utopia where there was no gender discrimination or societal pressure to conform to expected roles, do you really think that women would commit half of all violent crimes, and would have identical mate selection criteria as men?
The biggest problem I have found with wireframing apps is the ability to template or share object between views. I should be able to create a navigation object and edit it once and all instances of it should update across all views. Some have tried, but I have not seen any succeed.

NoScript is NoGood because it's a whitelist. The vast majority of JS on the web is useful and harmless. As more websites employ AJAX and web-app functionality by default, maintaining a whitelist is pretty much ridiculous. What you want, if anything, is a blacklist.

"Private browsing mode" is also more sensible than NoScript for browsing the unfamiliar Wild Web.

A whitelist is the equivalent of wearing a helmet when driving. Sure, in the event you roll your car, the helmet will come in handy.
Starting from a completely different set of philosophical assumptions, some readers may be interested in this completely free alternative to marriage counseling:

http://heartiste.wordpress.com/2009/08/14/relationship-game-...

Anecdotally this has been radically more effective for myself and my friends than paying a third party to intervene. One response to marriage woes is to blame the other person or society or fate; another is to blame oneself and improve your appearance and behavior so that you are the man she fell in love with rather than an uninteresting housepet (I speak of a common scenario). That link is about the latter path.
There have been significant products shipped using Lisp. For instance, the original Reddit, ITA, Viaweb (the startup Paul Graham sold to Yahoo), Hacker News itself.

But it's true, many Lisps suffer the problem of fragmentation.
Sure. And when these discussions on the internet happen in a vacuum of social studies or experiments it inevitably devolves into people dumping their half-baked post hoc rationalizations on each other backed by some crap anecdotes. It also inevitably turns sexist, especially given the issue at hand.
No. Mineral rights were likely sold off long ago for gas and coal, which have always been known to be out in western ND. It's the oil people haven't been able to get at until fracking.
Oh my god thank you--I couldn't figure out what was going on w/the browsing history and it was driving me insane. Yeah that's... not a fun problem to deal with.
I think I'd disagree back :). It is not a new or recent issue that the cost of development for mobile was notoriously expensive on hardware, there was a residual hope that emulators would suffice. Simultaneously there has been constant demand for hobbyists or industry to use commodity capable hardware.

I stated "The success of the Pi is really a textbook example of why you want good marketing, product management and strategic pricing plus a bit of timing/luck." as a round about way that corporations should sometimes make bold decisions which may not result in a direct profit.

Roughly knowing the cost of TI's SoC I would assert that TI would have been better off aiming their SoC/board combo at the right price point and perhaps with a detached org to support it.
"To bolster the ranks of fake girlfriends, the website is inviting women to send in their profiles, with a 50 percent profit-sharing incentive."

The site (namorofake.com.br) now says their fake gf profiles are all real women. They've also got a selection of types ranging from Ficante (Hook-up), Ex-Namorada (Ex girlfriend), Namorada (Girlfriend) and Namorada Virtual (Virtual Girlfriend). The difference between the latter two is the virtual gf lasts longer and leaves more comments.

Translated from the site/Portuguese...

"Because of the large amount of simultaneous hires our profiles are all occupied at the moment. (Now all of our profiles are from real women and not fake profiles.)"

On their Depoimentos (Testimonies) page, one guy says...

"I had a lot of success. The reaction of my friends was unbelievable, it was (just) three comments that made my Facebook take off hahahaha. I even had some girls from my college adding me, I think it was because of this (site). In a few days I'm going to hire another "ficante" to make me look even more important. Thanks guys..."

I develop Django professionally, bought the book, and just finished a quick read through. I am very impressed. Some may rightly say you can get all the information in the book elsewhere and for free, I wouldn't want to. This book would have saved me many hours over the last few years. $12 is a bargain. I think the depth and breadth is just right and would highly suggest it for (nearly) every level of Django developer.

My one complaint, to not just this book, but pretty much the community at large is there exists scant documentation dealing with 'enterprise grade'database migration (..both data and schema, for some reason data is always left out) with Django and South.

Nice work.

P.S. - I've made a small pull request to your django template as it doesn't work in it's current form.

A shocking number of web sites are better with JS disabled.
Half a million homes is pretty much all of North Dakota, where heating bills in BRUTAL winters have been driven to insane lows because of the abundance of natural gas. We'd need to export it, and we don't have the infrastructure, and that's not going to be a priority until the oil infrastructure is built out which will take quite some time.
Fantastic job on this, the results are great despite the challenges you faced. I'm inspired!

I've used a ton of these tools (two of my favorites are balsamiq and wireframe.cc) and am always excited to check a new one out. That said, at least half of the time, I end up going back to my plain old graph paper notebook and pen.

It just feels more natural, and I find that due to that I usually end up getting more designs and ideas fleshed out more quickly, which is really what I'm going for when just starting a project and getting some wireframes down.

Overall, I tend to use wireframe "tools" when working with a other team members or clients (or in any other situation where passing a notebook around isn't feasible), and go back to pen and notebook when working on personal projects or just want to quickly map out an idea.
Speculation: way back in the day if you Googled for [software marketing service], liked what you saw, and had me Google for it, I'd get substantially the same results. That has been increasingly untrue for years, due to geotargeted results, personalization, persistence across searches, search refinement, their datacenter model, yadda yadda. If users expect copy/pasting a link to a search so that someone can repro it to actually work, then that search query now has to carry more state than just "What I typed into the Internet before I clicked the Googles" (totally baffling to users, who think this is what selects their results).
Makes me wonder whether someone could make a simpler one.
> ECMAScript is the name of the standard. Each browser implements a (different) subset of it. JavaScript used to be what Mozilla's implementation was called; Microsoft implemented JScript.

mocha and livescript were the names at netscape. naming it javascript was a marketing strategy and a product of the sun-netscape cooperation. the ecmascript standard was born later, after the adoption of javascript/jscript.

> I'm finding Go's concurrency constructs to be by far the most dangerous of the four.

That is exactly what I can't get over. I don't understand why this is the default. Most processes in the real world are not synchronous. Sending an asynchronous message makes more sense as a primitive (synchronous can just be modeled on top as a mini protocol, sender sends his own address). The other way is not as clear. (Spawn a separate concurrency primitive and send to the channel from there?).

The other thing that bothers me is the focus on channels rather than on processes. The two can be seen as equivalent but for some reason process-centric design seems more natural to me.

There is of course Scala with Akka but I don't see JVM a benefit, I see it as a nuisance (it is more of an irrational political thing probably come to think of it).

I'm sorry but care is really a bullshit statement. Here are my gripes with Simple so far...

I signed up when they first announced their service. When I noticed others were getting invited and after a long period, I didn't, I tried contacting them only to never hear back. I just applied again using a different email address. After another insanely long period, still nothing. Over the past couple years, I probably tried reaching out with questions a few times and signing up at least 4 times, never to see any invites come back. Oddly enough, someone I knew who signed up not that long ago received their invite almost a couple weeks after. Eventually I stumbled upon their blog post that mentioned something about the order in which you sign up does not impact when you would see an invite. Thats utter crap. Even if I forgive the fact that they took an eternity to invite people on, not responding to emails is a major red flag to me.

Finally, I did get an invite and decided to sign up. It was only after I was a member was I able to post a message in their internal system to receive a reply. However some glaring problems became apparent. For starters, I was surprise to find out that they don't have a way to transfer money out, only in (of which some banks will charge fees according to their site; I won't hold this point against them if true for some odd reason even though other online banks have manage to do so just fine). I did manage to fund the initial deposit without any fees but not being able to transfer money out short of running to an ATM is insane, particularly for an online bank.

Then there were the numerous posts about security issues that cropped up on here (HN) and other places. Overall, I have little faith in the bank that should have been disruptive but is slow, unresponsive, and quite frankly lacking. I apologize for being a dick and replying this way but people should "play" and experiment with this bank before taking it seriously and utilizing it as a real bank should shit happen.

They are very much still a startup, rough around the edges, and should be treated as such. To me, customer service is a huge selling point over anything else they or any bank offer and in this department, they've failed quite a bit until I became a member (of which I only have one data point, a single message, to go off of). To me, thats a telling sign. I've pretty much convinced myself not to use them anymore until things drastically change.

If one could get the gas from the flare towers to a combined cycle natural gas reactor for under 0.9 cents per cubic foot, or, about $170 per well per annum, there could be room for a small profit ($900k/year less operating costs). Note that I assumed you're paying the well owner market price for the natural gas they're presently flaring off, a conservative assumption.

Gas flared per annum (MM cubic feet) = 150 [1];
100 cubic ft gas in MWh	= 0.0302 [2];
»Natural gas flared (MWh) = 45,300

Plant efficiency = 61% [3];
»Available energy (MWh) per annum = 27,633

North Dakota electricity price (kWh) = $0.0681 [4];
Value of available energy ($ million) = $1.882 [5];
»Value per cubic foot gas = $0.0125

Market price of gas ($/MMBTU) = 3.48 [6];
BTU/cubic foot natural gas = 1020 [7];
»Market cost of gas ($ million) = $0.532

Excess value of gas in fields = $1.349;
»Excess value per cubic foot gas = $0.0090

Number of wells = 8,000 [8];
Mean gas per annum per well (cubic ft.) = 18,750;
»Expected excess value per well per annum = $168.67
