I'm not a designer, and have limited experience (Bootstrap, 960, Bourbon, etc) with (S){C,A}SS frameworks/libraries, so maybe I'm just being ignorant.

Can someone explain to me why there are so many grid frameworks? There appear to be quite a limited number of features, being responsive, dynamic grid sizes maybe? So what's the reason for so many designers 'rolling their own' 'handmade' 'little, tiny, light, nimble and small' grid frameworks?

I'm sure there is a reason for it, but from the perspective of an outsider (sort of), it looks like there is an excessive number of options.
By "Europe", the parent means the E.U. The fact that is has a parliament, a supreme court, a set of laws and a unified trade policy means that it can (in some situations, such as this one) be compared with other federations of states. Such as... the USA!

Petition: Programmers, stop using the Oracle versions of Java. Too many of your Java programs only work properly with Oracle JVM, etc. Instead, standardize on another one of the Java implementations so that it can become the premiere implementation and really screw with Oracle.

Israeli startup Ravello Systems raises $26 Mil in B Round
Ravello Systems enables users to overcome internal resource constraints and use the public cloud to develop and test applications. Users can run multiple VMs on the same cloud VM - completely isolated from each other.
I firmly believe we need regulation to

a) allow us to know who has obtained / stored individually identifiable information about us (presumably the storing party is opbliged to publically record who they have identifed and when where how - a cottage industry of letting us know will grow up)

b) allow us to block such recording - that is if we blacklist ourselves (right to be forgotten) then you cannot publish our details but must notify us at a contact point (ie email) and adhere to some wipe-orders.

c) this does not apply to warrented-supervised surveillance. But applies to governments et al.

This is not quite what the EU is proposing (there seems to be no "workability" to the proposals) but it is close.

In the end, technology has transformed a basic assumption about life - that we can only be identified by people within eyeshot. Now that has gone completely, and we need to rethink what we mean and expect from privacy.

As it has been said, secrecy is what other people don't know, privacy is what they politely ignore. We need to make sure companies are polite.
There is however one valid case for using backward gotos - it's the loop restart.

again:
for ( ..container.. )
{
...
if ( ... )
{
touch(container);

/*
* If touch() changes container in a contrived
* way, then restarting the loop is sometimes
* the cleanest option.
*/
goto again;
}
}

This obviously requires caution to not enter an infinite loop, but that's usually easier to guarantee than to reconcile the consequences of touch().
Perhaps eclipsed is not the best choice of words here :)

For what it's worth, the Ember run loop isn't that fires according to a step timer, but rather a loop that runs to completion in response to specific events (mouse click, keyboard press, response from ember-data). If you're talking about requestAnimationFrame there's a good chance you're talking about an entirely different kind of run loop, though I'd be curious to dig into this deeper.
Looks great. I have a suggestion though: Beyond individually marking stories as read and the 'mark all as read' button, also offer a quick way to breeze through the list and mark lots of them as read. By 'read', I mean 'don't show them to me again next time'. I usually narrow down 5-8 articles from the home page I want to read and know that I don't care about the others.

Or, introduce a 'star' system where I can create a list of articles I want to check out later. I may not actually want to send them to Instapaper, so keeping a local 'to read' list via starring articles would come in handy.

Ideally, that should be synced to my iCloud account, since I read from multiple Macbooks.

That is a very interesting point - Europe is hurting and will plain old react at some points - its going to be fun :-)

Already exists in some countries (for example in Poland). Each company that wants to keep your data here has to get your permission (either by off-by-default checkbox on a website form, or on paper), and to allow you to delete or change your data in their database on your request.

There is inspector that is responsible for receiving complaints about companies that don't comply with this law, and he can issue warnings and fines to companies. It's working OK, I don't understand why USA would start trade war over sth like this.
How to create a Struts Validation in Java
I really enjoyed the talk for the most part. It did seem to get a bit random and unorganized towards the end though. I wasn't sure where one topic ended and the other began, and was also confused about what exactly he wanted to say during the "Choices", "Love For An Artist", and "Depression Is An Experience" slides.
I think maybe he was just feeling rushed for time.
Still was great food for thought!

Is this actually a controversial statement? I don't think so. Startups can be fueled by passion but ultimately are about making money. I sort of assumed most folks here were here to try to cash in on the bubble before it's over.
Not enough to use for this post.
The thing that says, "Possible duplicate?" Once they confirm it they should change the wording to say "Duplicate" if that's the one they mean. It just looks like it's unfinished this way.
This is because this plugin employs clang to gather information for autocomplete.

Doesn't _Organisations would be able to oppose the deletion of information if they could show they have a right to publish the data under the fundamental principle of freedom of expression or if it is in the public interest for the data to remain in existence._ take care of it?

It wouldn't be hard to argue that that tweet serves the public interest by allowing the sunlight to shine on it in public.

Obviously this is a Register article so it's light on details, but it seems to me that this is targeted at organizations and you send them a message that says, "delete everything about me" ie a collection of data, not "delete this one thing about me" ie a member of data. How that is codified into law is unclear.

“Mobile disrupts personal computers, a market worth billions. Cloud disrupts computer servers and data storage, billions of dollars more. Social may be one of those rare things that is totally new.”

Isn't this logic flawed? It assumes there is a zero-sum game (with the exception of social), but the valuations are assuming that it's not a zero sum game (hence record high PE ratios for cloud computing). There's a difference between stealing market share and creating new ones.

To be fair, Oracle is (or was planning on) making heaps of money out of Java for business. Client-side Java seems like less than a portion of their plan to start with (anyone who mentions JavaFX here gets banned from the internet) - I mean, start with hiring a designer for the download page. This disrespect to users is exactly why they're treating it that way. If it's not that important to them, might as well import com.oracle.money-making-addon; No big deal either way.

Anyway, as someone who regularly writes software for artists and designers with Java, I lately find myself avoiding JVM-based workflow on the client-side. It's just too much of a hassle for anyone I work with.
There's already an easy way to keep any non-monopoly company from maximizing profit on your back: Don't do business with them.

I think you've misunderstood.

This is a data protection act concerned with the right to delete information you have given an entity. It's for going to facebook and saying 'delete all the information I gave you, I no longer want you to have it and make sure you tell all the people you sold it to to delete it too'. It's nothing to do with freedom of the press, etc.
Does it have Google Reader integration for read/unread tracking? I read HN on many different devices.
Out of my head and with no experience in it i'd think it's a library/framework to give plain C libraries more object oriented features, a type system and overall the base for most or all Gnome libraries. Probably comparable to Qt in that it probably has its own String implementation or container implementations. Much like Qt but procedural. Is that far off?
Good question. I've used systems, e.g. AIX, where env(1) was in /bin.
175 Lessons From Naked Economics
This petition is complaining about the neighbor on your left letting his dog crap in your yard, when the neighbor on the right is running a meth lab. We are carrying around phones filled with spyware to track what we listen to, watch and read an where we do it.

How hard is it to discern even our sleep habits? We put them on the charger beside the bed at night and tune in to Pandora. If our phones can't tell if we're sleeping around or alcoholics already, it won't be long until they can.

Like most petitions this one is a distraction. It keeps our energy focused on the wrong part of a larger issue and one where any leverage we have cannot create fundamental change.

Nice app. Just a few UI and code comments.

The titlebar is too big in my opinion. I'm writing an app with a thicker than usual titlebar and had a look around a number of apps before deciding on the exact height. I found the best height to be 36px. This allows for nicely a nicely spaced title and traffic lights, but isn't too large. Clear for Mac goes for a titlebar a bit bigger than this, but Hacky is far larger.

The bottom bar seems like it's only there to place the "Mark all as read" button. Could this button be instead placed on the titlebar? If not, I think it's the wrong type of button to use in this context. I believe the correct button style is "Round Textured" as listed in Interface Builder.

Despite these two comments, I actually really like the user interface. It looks good and is generally well thought out.

A few comments on the project, it might be worth using CocoaPods. This is entirely up to you, but I know for a fact that INAppStoreWindow and AFNetworking are in the database, and it might make handling dependency updates easier. Not using CocoaPods isn't necessarily a bad thing at all though.

Having had a quick look at the code, and having compiled it, there are a lot of compiler warnings! A few can be fixed just be configuring the project correctly, adding frameworks that AFNetworking wants for additional functionality, etc, but a few issues surrounding your mixed use of instance variables and properties that will generate their own.

There is also an issue with declaring a method as taking NSUInteger pointers, and yet using it for normal NSUIntegers, and then assigning to NSUInteger properties. It works, but it's an easy fix and pointer issues can be annoying to debug later on if they start to cause errors.

Think about what the "Right to be forgotten" means at a technical level. It means you need to permanently delete records from your databases -- not just mark them with a deleted flag as well as delete records from your backups and reports generated that may contain personal information. In addition your organization may also be held responsible for removal of data given to third parties.

This is a big deal and it has many concerned over how it can be implemented as well as enforced.

I just compiled a build and tried it out. It looks like marking something as read right now just affects the dot icon next to a story with no way to filter out read stories, even after a refresh.

Having different hotkeys for mark as read and unread was a little confusing. I would just have Command M toggle between the two. Then you can use the up/down arrow keys to navigate the stories and then quickly mark them. If you accidentally mark the wrong story, you don't need to find Shift to undo that.

Big Data 101 and the Impact on Digital Media Planning

eclim works really well for me, though it may be a bit too powerful (i.e. it does everything eclipse does, which includes debugger).
Whoa no need for the ad hominem there, it's too early in the morning. I'll repost what the OP says...if the OP is wrong, then obviously my argument is wrong

From the OP: Under the draft Regulation individuals would enjoy a qualified 'right to be forgotten'. That right would enable them to force organisations to delete personal data stored about them "without delay". Organisations that have made the data public would be liable for the data published by third parties and would be required to "take all reasonable steps, including technical measures" to inform those groups to delete the information.

Your Facebook example is a good one, as it has defined data as including the content submitted by the user. You are correct that FB, the organization in this case, would be required to delete the data. But then the proposed law goes further, mandating that third parties need to delete the data. That is what my comment was referring to. Who do you think "third parties" mean? From usual interpretation, it means every and anyone besides the user and organization, hence, anyone who retweets or reposts or refers to the data made public by the organization
The point is that it's very easy for a company to measure the metrics they should care about (i.e. quality and quantity of work output) rather than making random correlations.

An IQ test is also a good proxy for an IQ test: but there would probably be an outcry if companies started basing performance reviews directly on an IQ test.
I second that. c for comments and o for open.
That feels a little aggressive. Should be a configurable option somewhere in preferences.
Seems like you forget that EU fined Microsoft whereas US didn't. It might be US which is pussy footing most.

And they forced Facebook to give us a copy of the information they have registered about us. How's that going in the US?

>Women currently get more college degrees in general today, yet the gender pay gap remains. That's evidence of systemic oppression.

Impressive that they admitted the mistake instead of going on full defense and blame something else.
The point isn't "all regulation is good." The point is that "some companies will go out of business" isn't necessarily a good argument.

To continue your SOPA connection, "Google will go out of business if SOPA is enacted," isn't a good argument in and of itself. You're assuming that Google staying in business is a good thing.

Arguing against regulation of X because companies that have built a business around X being a certain way will go out of business necessitates that an explanation of why X continuing on in the same manner is in the interests of the general public.
My 12 year old and her group of friends are hooked on Snapchat. No idea it had reached the University/College level. My understanding is the kids love it because several parents insist that their children never delete their texts until the parent has reviewed all of them each night.

People will share more when they know that content goes away. Makes a lot of sense but would have never thought of it that way prior.
An interesting thing to me (a non-american looking in) is lines like:
"non employment of married women unless they are the support of their family" & "* it was the end of the war and they wanted to hire people who had fought in the war, who were then coming back from World War II and wanted jobs.*"

This is anachronistic in terms of gender roles and whatnot but if you set that aside you see that IBM (and presumably all big employers) saw themselves as having a paternal-like role. Something associated with social democrat policies in the West and a Confucianist mentality in the east. Either way it's probably related to hints or requests by the Nation's Leaders. It's not very "Free Market^," in its modern interpretation.

This means that the companies will not collect and maintain too much data about me to start with. There can be a reasonable amount of data - like name, DOB, address - that can stay public in any case. Other data will have to be deleted.
