YES! But I would strongly prefer to get the voting/commenting part working first. I come to HN to participate in the discourse, not just read web pages.

One thing I would say is it would be nice to have a "Reader"/"Instapaper" mode for articles. I haven't looked at iOS APIs in a while, so I don't know if Apple is exposing that functionality or not (my guess is no); but maybe Instapaper or one of the clones would be willing to do some kind of partnership. I would pay for that upgrade on my iPhone.

Overall, I really like this and can easily see myself pulling it out in the mgrocery line. Yeah, there are some minor nits, but I think others have covered those well enough. And I love the dark coloring, too.
I tend to consider Thomas Paine a good source.

> What about the ones in CO and WY?

And which news source reported on those?
You could just remove X/desktop from any Linux distro and be right where you want to be-a shell which can all command line programs and you can program it via one liners or scripts.
Actually, based on this thread, I'm going to give ghostery a try. I like the speed increase of no JS when the site works without it, but there is a non-insignificant number if sites that require a reload after loading the content and finding it won't degrade gracefully.
I recently finally understood FRP and I'm working on my own library on top of Flapjax and Enfocus (ClojureScript) to make things simpler than doing everything by hand.

However, I can't find examples of systems of moderate (or big) size - nothing to get inspiration from, all examples I've seen are quite small and do too much by hand. They often select elements (like button to track click on) from whole document by id (and in big app this is pretty useless except for some top-level elements), or interwind templates with bindings to events and interaction between them is structured so that it feels like almost using globals. Directly changing top-level data from some inner template.

Anyway, I've got some ideas - display is easy though, what's hard is nicely structuring forms and buttons IMO - but it takes time to carve them out in code. I would love to read something on topic of structuring applications, which are more than a single input and a single list.
As long as people enjoy killing animals, guns will never be illegal in this country. There are plenty of lefties in the senate who really enjoy killing animals so guns are always going to be legal.

What they are trying to restrict is the use of guns as toys and I have zero problem with that. I think hunting is ridiculous and horrible in this day and age but I guess that's part of the compromise I have to do. I am not accepting anything further than that though, guns are not toys.
When your referring to "proprietary methods", I'm not sure what the heck you mean. It is well researched in public with different vendors.
Yes, I agree with you. This issue has nothing to do with the economics and apparent social justice of the journal publishing industry/complex.

This is about headstrong young white men deciding that the rules do not apply to them any more.
This doesn't matter. I hear people say "I os" and "I O S". No one cares. Most people will pronounce this one "Samsung" or "Nokia" or whatever company ships it.
+1 for this!

When I first started with golang I too was flailing around with deadlocks, but once you have spent a bit of time with it, it becomes obvious when you have messed up.

I think that this is more of a lack of familiarity with the language rather than an intrinsic problem with golang.
I'm terribly non-technical and probably wouldn't have much to contribute but I could make a trip up from the springs
Summary of Object Oriented Programming Goodness in Go
It's pretty hilarious to watch people clambering all over each other in this thread to claim this isn't a problem because [op_is_doing_it_wrong] or [weird_hacky_workaround]. Commenting out bits of code to see what effects it has is one of the most useful ways of not only debugging a program, but learning to program, and “reading” code.

Just because some really smart people made a decision for reasons that are great 99% of the time, but fail badly in a very important 1% case doesn't mean you have to redefine your entire belief system to avoid criticizing them.

Hey, there seems to be a bug for slow internet connections, it shows the same image for the next books when the next book image is not loaded.
Let's face it: American governmental bodies are dysfunctional at almost every level. Most people live in California, Texas, Florida, and New York. All are poorly managed. And then there's the federal government sitting on top.

The key to thriving in the US is to have a high net worth so you can feel independent of this dysfunctional government. And then ignore all the stressful noise in the crisis-obsessed news cycle.
+1 for Hacker Web. Works perfectly across my iPhone/iPad/Macbook. Interesting (yet effective) way to manage long nested comments too.
Why jQuery, when ClojureScript already comes with a framework? It's easy to wrap it by a thin layer if you don't like the API, but then you get working advanced mode and one external dependency less.

I've been waiting for this! Thanks tednaleid.
Yes, a bunch of people are really socking away 25%+ of their gross income. I've consistently saved about 80% of my take-home pay since graduating from college. I have one friend who just paid off her $130K in law school loans, 4 years after graduation. I have another friend who managed to save $20K over 2-3 years on a grad student stipend (i.e. he was getting paid about $28K/year and saving 40% of it).

It helps if you don't enjoy motorcycles and exotic travel. I do something social about 5 days a week, but that "something social" is usually something like going over to a friend's house to play Starcraft or XBox, or hiking in a state park, or going rock climbing, or worst-case, dinner & a movie. You don't need all that much money for any of these.

A majority of people are purchasing the phone they can afford first. Status purchases are for a more select population.

And the phone you can afford is more likely to have Bada.

YC Reject Seeking Users for Beta 
I wanted to begin registering Beta users for my startup www.Ommageo.com.

I don't know HN is the best place to solicit users for a Beta since so many in the HN community must dedicate time to their own projects, but the offer is open. As always I am also welcoming all advice, so if you think there is a better place to find Beta users I am all ears.

Please email me if you are want to be a Beta.

In case someone too naive reads parent, I can count at least 3 crimes there: using someone else's image without consent (is there a name for that?), impersonation, and fraud.
This is really weird. Everybody on HN appears to be praising this for the clever entrepreneurial idea. I'm kind of amazed that I'm apparently about to be the first person on here to call this out as a hugely misogynistic endeavour. Women should not be treated as a SaaS product.
I don't know if they have a trademark for it or not, but a quick Google shows that a CoffeeScript-like language with that name exists.
My first impression is that it's ugly and confusing.

1) The logo is way too small and out of the way.
2) The search and list an item buttons are different sizes, different corners, different text styles (capitalised and non) and garish colours.
3) The birds in the banner overlap with the white letters
4) The orange-bordered box with the info is in a weird place, too small, down in the bottom, the border looks weird, etc.
5) The banner doesn't really explain the concept to me. Why is a .edu address relevant.

http://theboxngo.com/users - the design here is much nicer.
Preying on the insecure. And I'm willing to bet that only the worst artists will pay for this crap.
I don't see anything in that article that isn't sensible. There's no reason government expenditures have to keep going up in good times and bad.
Android runs on x86 too. In theory, at least :|
True. But trashy in-house Experience Apps are ubiquitous and only going to improve. I think the idea here is that Samsung has an out if they end up needing it.

Can't you just write a debug function, that checks a variable, then either does nothing or calls fmt.Println? Set the variable from a command line parameter. Sprinkle debug statements everywhere you want, and flip the parameter as needed.

Since the import is always used, it is never an error. No problem.

How To Get More Clients Using Lifecycle Emails
I'm a female I just tend to lurk more than post. And I usually read HN on the bus or while walking to class and typing can be difficult in those places. =)
I've no idea what this does - can you elaborate?
After reading the bill, I'm not opposed to it on practical grounds. For a $60 game, it's $0.60. Who cares. Furthermore, the revenue would go exclusively towards the treatment of mental health conditions, which is just fine with me, as I believe the real cause of these violent outbursts is a lack of support system for those who need it most.

What I disagree with in this bill is the use of the privately run, industry controlled ESRB as the measuring stick for what is and isn't violent. Not only are they terrible at accurately rating games (in my opinion), they're not even being given the chance to distinguish between violent video games and other kinds of mature video games (complex plot, general adult themes, etc.) ALL T rated games or higher would be taxed, regardless of the level of violence in the game itself. That's simply inaccurate, and displays a very fundamental lack of knowledge on the topic. Don't try to regulate what you don't understand, please.

Not to mention the fact that, if this wins, it's further legitimizing the absolutely absurd notion that video games are the cause of these exceptionally rare and exceptionally violent outbursts. I can't agree with that.
Tizen suffers from the same problem as Meego did - too much corporate control and no open development whatsoever.

If you liked N900/N9 and Maemo/Meego - you'll better like Mer and derivatives. They have more chances to succeed, since they don't suffer from the risk of some company pulling the plug from the whole project.
I'm not sure what you mean, but the parent's SQL is valid and returns the same data as the gp's, only in a more efficient manner. No need to do three inner joins when you can get away with one.

In fact, you can take out the second part of the inner join condition and move it in the where clause, like this (execution plan will stay the same):

SELECT posts.* FROM posts
INNER JOIN post_tags pt ON pt.post_id = posts.id
WHERE posts.author IN ('Joe', 'Jane') AND pt.tag IN ('foo', 'bar', 'baz')
ORDER BY post_date DESC;
But this does not mean they won't launch an Ubuntu phone.

I am guessing if there is some market interest in Ubuntu (Phone OS), Samsung will launch a phone to test waters.

that's about all you need to know right there. support is planned for smartphones, tablets, netbooks, in-vehicle infotainment, and smart tvs, and it's not even released yet?
The US has one of the highest suicides-by-gun rates in the world.

But why are we talking about guns? This isn't a gun conversation, this is a mental health conversation. Give people a free and easy way to seek help for mental conditions and this problem just... goes away.
Some would disagree: http://www.merrycoz.org/yc/BADLIT.HTM

It's a familiar horse to beat, this NEW media is special, and different and scary.

It happened with jazz, rock&roll, comic books, movies, novels, heavy metal, many scapegoat has met the whip of the righteously ignorant. It's always been a meaningless argument, totally void of scientific fact.

Were there wars before fiction? Was there crime before video games?
> Guns are not toys and that's the whole problem, people want to play with them because they think it's a game.

This doesn't describe any gun owner I've ever met. Like most people who want to ban guns, you're arguing out of complete ignorance.
It looks good. I'll download it when I'm home later. This could all be solved with about 50-100 lines inside a media query though... Come on HN!

Bugsnag Launches To Bring Realtime Bug Tracking To Your Web & Mobile Apps
I actually think of it the opposite way: if you put money into paying down debt, you know exactly what the return on that capital will be. It's the interest rate on the debt (in pre-tax dollars for mortgages, after-tax for almost every other form of debt). Money is fungible; any money that's not locked up in debt-service is freed up for other purposes, like investing in other assets.

I tend to advise people I know to pay down debt first these days, because they're usually paying around 6-7% interest, and where else can you get a 6-7% risk free investment? T-bills are at about 3%, inflation-adjusted T-bills are often less, CDs are under half a percent, and savings accounts are basically nothing. You can potentially get more than that in the stock market, but that comes with additional risk, so for a lot of more conservative folks it doesn't make sense to carry a debt and simultaneously invest in the market.

If it makes you feel any better, you can pay me $39 and I'll pretend to be your boyfriend on Facebook.

On a slightly more serious note, this is, in itself, not really sexist in your typical "Internet at large" sexisism. Don't get me wrong, there is some very serious and deep seated (seeded?) woman hating that occurs on the Internet, but this isn't it. This goes way beyond the Internet, and into ancient mores that carry across time and culture, which are definitely sexist, but not the kind of sexist you find in Halo 4.

More like the kind of sexist you find when you wander Amsterdam's red light district. Old-school misogyny.
I would argue the opposite. Violence is very dramatic and exciting, it's always going to appear in fiction more often than in real life for that very reason.
did you confuse the words "civil disobedience" with "the civil rights movement"?

Otherwise I have no idea how you would make this jump in your mind.
Tizen suffers from the same problem as Meego did - too much corporate control and no open development whatsoever.

Hacker Node is really awful to use, though. Half the stories go to 404s, because it percent-encodes hashes and actually sends them to the server, and trying to select a story involves poking around on the screen until you finally hit the right (tiny) part of the title.
They'll change, but I wouldn't take it for granted that they'll improve. It's easy to make a new version, but it takes massive effort to make sure that you are converging on something great as you iterate.
I can't necessarily say why, but I'm way more interested in Firefox OS (boot2gecko) than this.

edit: Actually, Tizen looks to support Firefox OS as first-rate (though Firefox OS apps should run in any browser anyway if it supports the emerging device apis). Tizen might wind up being the more hacker-targeted device if it runs Linux and Firefox OS apps. I know it would have my interest as someone who is pretty much 100% happy with my Galaxy Nexus.
ehh. isn't that right next to Palo Alto? I'm reading this thread from all across the pond, and when people from towns at biking distance from one another start discussing where the weather is better, I start feeling a bit weird.
What's wrong with omnigraffle + wireframe stencil ?
I agree. But I wish I could be treated as a SaaS product. I mean men are also objectified by socioeconomic status. Just go into any strip clubs and you'll see that it's not a man's character but the size of his wallet that determines a woman's attention. Or any bar or nightclub for that matter where it's determined by a man's race and social status in whatever social scene that the venue covets in.

Man I wish I could monetize on my sexuality because I think I have plenty to give to any needy ladies. Sadly, the backwards 21st century social construct constricts me into repressive gender-roles where I have to solicit sexual services instead of being receptive to all outstanding sexual advances that are demanded of me out there. I only hope feminism could advance further to erase this injustice for gender equality for all.
www.ommageo.com is a combination of YouTube and Google Earth. Every video uploaded to Ommageo is geotagged in Google Earth, so in addition to finding videos through feeds of your friends and searches, users can browse Google Earth and find video content based on location (and time).

Kerno if you or anyone else is still confused:

1. visit the website,
2. click the "Trending" button, and
3. watch a video for yourself.

Note Ommageo uses the Google Earth plug-in which is supported by Mac and Windows operating systems.
The thing is, once you accept a 1% tax on violent video games, you've accepted in principle that violent video games warrant government interference. Then the question becomes how much the government should interfere, rather than whether it should at all.

Violent video games are free speech. Specific types of speech shouldn't have special taxes placed on them. I feel the same way about a 1% tax on violent video games as I would about a 1% tax on books containing witchcraft-related themes.
I usually read the first couple comments on an article before reading the article itself. I was all set to write a comment disagreeing with you after reading the first couple paragraphs, but by the end I completely agreed. Sounds like it would really disturb my flow while debugging.

I'm sure there's reasons it would be a bad idea, but having the ability to ignore errors like this when building a Debug build seems like it could be a solution.
This is hardly surprising considering Go shares its creators with Plan 9 among other things. They have had this kind of attitude for years, see for example this thread where someone asks about some features in the Acme editor:

"Just say no"
Then why not sign up for it directly? Hypothetically, if you hadn't discovered it from some other tech blog using it (many of which have been linked here), the steps to find it probably went from trying to fill out the actual form on Svbtle, realizing it's an application not a registration, and then Googling an alternative.

All things said, there are so many better looking minimalist WP themes out there for me to believe most folks chose this one at random. If it trended on lists and blogs, it was because enough people who recognized the potential made it so.
Ironically, I'd be much more likely to harm someone with moonshine than with an XL magazine.

In any case, the stand I'd be taking is about the absurdity of trying to ban 3d printing of specific devices, not about gun rights. I can't think of a reasonable excuse for a private citizen to own high-capacity weapons of death, and the theoretical argument about defending ourselves from the government went out the window long ago in my eyes. The second amendment was written well before the days of SWAT teams (on the low end of potential government firepower) and anyone crazy enough to think that stockpiling high-powered weaponry will be sufficient to take on highly-trained professionals is, well, crazy.
The only thing that threw me off was the loading of web pages. There does not seem to be anything to let the user know that the web page is loading. Granted, most of the users of this app (being HN regulars) would probably assume that a page is loading, but if I didn't notice it the first time around, then maybe others did not either. An activity indicator may help in this situation. Also, the minus sign (left of "Go to Comments") makes me feel that the view should minimize upon click, which would cause the horizontal minus sign to rotate to become vertical. I can elaborate on any of these thoughts if they don't make enough sense.
Yeah, a new entry in this market needs the, "It sucks, but..." Without the 'but', it's never going to matter. The 'but' gets you a small following who will help polish an otherwise bad product, and maybe push it towards something competitive.

Like you said, I don't even know what else I want my phone to do though, that wouldn't be possible in Android.
Bitten by study bug, man obtains 31 degrees in jail
Yep, that's the price of simplicity and safety.

People talk a lot about stack allocation, but the same issue of pointerful vs flat representation arises in arrays and records, where it presents even more of a performance issue. Some GCed languages allow a measure of control there: however, Java and OCaml are not among them.

People have tried to marry flat representation and safety while allowing things like passing pointers to stack-allocated objects. The results are distinctly baroque (complex notions of region, etc).
It looks like Tizen, Ubuntu Mobile and Firefox OS are all going down the HTML5 apps running on Linux kernel route. I really hope applications built for any of these will run on the other 2 seamlessly.

Are there any technical reasons why one of these OSs will be more successful than the others or is it all down to marketing and the budgets behind them?

I'm hoping 2013 or 2014 will be the year I can `sudo apt-get install vim`.
>I've got to object to this.

Maybe four months of insane heat: mid-May to Mid-September are ridiculous. I can't even ride a bike without sweating like a mule after a mile.
Media should not be taxed based on it's content. Permitting that puts the government one step away from being able to create de facto bans based on content by merely cranking the tax rate.
I am really interested in this argument, because I am currently converting a mysql based web search to use apache solr. I have been thinking about all the arguments about pagination a lot.

The thing I don't know about, though, is the "database is almost always the most constrained part of a solution". On this simple site search, we tend to notice the apaches taking a lot more cpu than the databases calls. I guess when our site gets bigger, you'd imagine it is easier to scale out the apaches than the database (with sharding), but we would still have a lot of room to improve the mysql layer anyway (memcached for example).
EdTech Startups to Watch
I compared Tizen and Meego. Meego development and direction was too tightly controlled by Nokia (and Intel). When they quit - the project fell apart. Community forked it as Mer (Meego Relaunched), which has open development. Mer however is only the core. End user distributions are based on it. So far there are Nemo, Plasma Active and Sailfish.
