Oh man! I just learned Guile!
My initial reaction to Clojure was similar discomfort because it was so different from most other languages. Once I had more practice, learned more about why it is written the way it is, and how to write it clearly, I fell in love.

I didn't down vote you, but if I were to, it would be because your comment sounded like discomfort stemming from ignorance. On top of ignorance, you offered your pity for people who are "stuck" using this language, when it's actually almost always a well-informed choice.
This power grab will only continue as governments lose their grip on the digital realm - mainly their ability to keep secrets and collect taxes. Real crypto currencies and encrypted communications will change human organization and governments will fight back with everything they have. These new laws over the past several years have been to address the above - they have nothing to do with 'terrorism' - cyber or otherwise. Government's only effective role is to maintain its power. Everything thing else is secondary.
How does an angular app deal with layouts and regions? I.e. Landing and Loggedin Layout, both with totally different regions.

Marionette prefers Region managers, and I guess ember does it in a similar way. What the angular way of doing it?

City of Munich has a big incentive to make the migration seem successful and HP has a big incentive to make the migration seem unsuccessful. Two wildly different conclusions result. Where the truth lies we will probably never know.
I was about to post this when I saw your comment and I second you. When I was looking to buy a domain, they looked like a very popular choice, thanks to ads and "positive" reviews.

In fact, some of my less tech savy friends have brought domains and even hosting from them.

As a freelancer, I've had only problems with them. From confusing navigation to bad control panel for hosting, they have everything in place to trouble me.

NameCheap is my go to place for domains and they are really great.

If men as a group took advantage of women as a group, then why would men define rape to deny their own victimhood? That is not acting in the interests of men.

I agree that the narrative of men being strong serves the interests of the men at the top of the power structure, but that is a tiny percentage of all men.

The average man has no more power than the average woman.
Of course, this is the part where someone mentions Duff's Device, which uses a do..while spanning multiple switch labels. This is possible because switch works a lot like goto.

I don't know if it's fluff; judging from their first lesson there's not much. The dialogue is about what you would get in any first lesson class.

"As you know people, as you learn about things, you realize that these generalizations we have are, virtually to a generalization, false. Well, except for this one, as it turns out. What you think of Oracle, is even truer than you think it is. There has been no entity in human history with less complexity or nuance to it than Oracle. And I gotta say, as someone who has seen that complexity for my entire life, it's very hard to get used to that idea. It's like, 'surely this is more complicated!' but it's like: Wow, this is really simple! This company is very straightforward, in its defense. This company is about one man, his alter-ego, and what he wants to inflict upon humanity -- that's it! ...Ship mediocrity, inflict misery, lie our asses off, screw our customers, and make a whole shitload of money. Yeah... you talk to Oracle, it's like, 'no, we don't fucking make dreams happen -- we make money!' ...You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don't anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it'll chop it off, the end. You don't think 'oh, the lawnmower hates me' -- lawnmower doesn't give a shit about you, lawnmower can't hate you. Don't anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don't fall into that trap about Oracle."

I just remembered that Ubuntu ships with Amazon ads on their OS search bar...

Seriously, how worse stuff can get?

I imagine a future.

A bright future.

A future where everyone sees data, with Google Glasses like technology and beyond.

And thus, where they have ads in front of them all the time, you arrive home, look at your daughter in the crib, and suddenly your entire vision is plastered with a semi-transparent ad for diapers, and you blink, it goes away, and another shows up, a ad for automatic cribs with quad core processor and capable of singing and telling stories on its own.
AngularJS is agnostic when it comes to json format, it can work with whatever rails-api returns so it could re-use even an ember specific format which is I think the rails format. I've written a rails project to work with angular just fine, you can check it out here: https://github.com/patcito/angularjs_scaffold

It generates everything for you scaffold style :)
Nice work, Elias. I like it.

We should not go to war between EU and US, no matter what kind of war it is, even if it’s just a trade war. This mess is caused by the banks. Its history repeating itself all over again, in the 1920's there was a huge stock market boom funded by cheap credit from the banks, then the stock market crashed we got the great depression and Europe and US went to war against Hitler. Now 1990-2013 we have had cheap credit from the banks causing a housing boom, when it imploded the central planning central banks intervened creating new money saving the bankers. First the imploding house market will cause joblessness because there is less profits from housing speculation to consume for secondly the new money that the central banks give to the private banks will later cause high inflation as more money are chasing the same amount of goods. This high inflation will cause tensions high food and fuel prices, there will be joblessness but the fault is the banks. What we have had now is bank socialism, bailing out of the rich.

Same thing happening again as in the 1920s, but now it’s the Middle East. Same cause, different players.
Lets not repeat old mistakes.
This post made my day. I've been after a Hacker News app for Mac for ages now.

Edit: have now bought it, it's fantastic. Really glad you made it open-source too. Are there any plans to integrate comments, upvoting, etc?

Edit 2: One more thing: it would be great if the app would show the number of unread stories even when closed. Reminders.app does this.
Looks great! Shame I don't have a Mac...just yet.
So well done. We have to get this on Rachel Maddow's show.
GCC and LLVM offer a "cleanup in this scope" attribute, so you can write:

__attribute__((cleanup(free_indirect))) char *foo = strdup ("bar");

where free_indirect is a simple wrapper around free. It's used in the systemd code (making it GCC/LLVM-specific of course).

Ask HN: Vim and Ftp - How to do it in 2013?
I'm a vim user for some years now and mostly edit remote files using sshfs (or curlftps, which is unsuably slow).
I researched for a while on google but could not find anything that's usable for work.

What I'd like to have is not too complicated:
- saving ftp connections / no need to enter the ftp password. a master password would be ok, though.
- a decent way to discover files. something compatible with command-t would be perfect but the regular way of opening files would be fine too.
- halfway decent performance: saving a file should take less than 10s

How do you fellow vim users work with remote files when ssh is not available?
Thank you all, Martin
While I don't have anything against sexy language learning in theory, I feel like the execution here isn't great. The best language lessons I've had were highly participatory; you remember the sounds much better by making them rather than hearing them. Unfortunately the voyeuristic nature of the lessons really exacerbates the non-participatory structure, and you end up just watching someone else speaking the language instead of speaking it yourself.

I only saw the example lesson in the article, so maybe later ones work differently, but from what I can see you're sacrificing quality of teaching in exchange for the sexy angle. I don't think it's worth it.
Thanks for the info! Should be fixed. Chrome (somehow) handeled the media queries differently.

This sounds like some comment by a junior official being blown way out of proportion.

The EU and the US squabble all the time about trade - it would be pretty surprising if they didn't!

e.g. Consider the long running argument over Boeing and Airbus.
Of course, if (as is often the case) the woman prefers to focus on children while the man prefers to work, you harm both parents.
> I'm the product of a Western-European system.

> [...]

> I worry greatly about my daughter's future.

I guess she has the same European citizenship as you? The smartest thing to do (although ethically debatable) is to go back to your native country for her college years, and get it fully subsidized by European taxpayers.

Moreover, there's an important side-effect to USA's outrageous prices: except for some niches such as the Ivy League, if you're paying you'll be treated as a customer and they'll try very hard to deliver the goods (the diploma); this objective goes against being academically demanding, failing sub-par students etc. It's bound to have a dramatic impact on quality.

Something that baffles me in the USA, by the way: I can understand making a 6 figures investment in one's training, but it sounds like many if not most people choose personal development majors rather than employable ones: history, gender or African-American studies, arts, literature... I could see myself investing a year of my life and a couple K€ in a subject that fascinates me, but come on, a house's worth?!

Anyway, If I were to move out of Western Europe, I'd probably go back for my kids' studies, be it for the price or for the quality.

The language is C, not C++, and it is in no way GOTO dependant.

The examples given are ones of considered and deliberate use of GOTO by choice in a systems programming context.

John Regehr knows his stuff and generally expects the same of his readers. Given his background as a harsh but fair critic of the ragged edges of the C Language standard the part of interest here is that he lets these examples go under the umbrella of "fine by me"

That you found the article vacuous in your opinion is no surprise, at a guess I'd ascribe that to general ignorance on your part as born out by the comment you made. Never mind, you can rectify that with a bit of applied effort.

Just a note, you don't need Vundle to install this.

I have pathogen installed, which does basically the same thing as Vundle.

Just clone the git repo to your ~/.vim/bundle directory and continue compiling as instructed.
Yeah, we're all spoiled children nowadays.

The envelope works out, though. iPod Minis were only 4-6 GB, so you're only talking 1300MB-2GB of space used. 100MB per symphony is reasonable for a 30+ minutes of high-bitrate music.
Great little app.
Love the duo of Github and the Mac App Store. I also love my apps straight from the app store.

Maybe something little to add to the app are more key-bindings. I'm used to be able to open an url from Twitter apps just by using the right arrow. This would be great to be added to your app. With or without the option to open the website in the background.

Ask HN: How can I outsource DevOps?
I'm wasting too much time dealing with setting up EC2 instances, configuring servers, etc.

I'm sure those things are trivial for a lot of people who do them for a living, so it seems like a good thing to outsource.

But I'm not sure where to go. oDesk? Elance? Or are there sites that specialize in this?

My ideal service would be some kind of crowdsourced technical support marketplace: I post the task I need done and people can then bid on it. Or maybe just a service that I pay $50 a month to take care of whatever problem I encounter.

still his remark about us having a right to privacy but not a fundamental right to data protection just plain irks me.

Its typical weasel words from government officials who seem to find no method unreasonable if it lets them circumvent the intent of the Constitution. They love to forget it was a document which limited the government, not us.

Nice project, and I like that you can use regular JS with the --language=javascript option. You should make that clear in the README's title which seems to indicate it is CoffeeScript only. Might also want to get your angular dependency through a versioned gem, not jquery-rails, and have (pre) Rails 4 support branch.

Europe is the largest economy in the world. If there is any merit to this article, then I wish the US luck, but I think they'll get a very short shrift. The EU has too many internal problems to bother pussy footing around with the US. It's a sleeping giant and I get the feeling it's about ready to start putting it's foot down, purely to save itself.
Good call. He is not even listed in the "Key Officers List" of State's telephone directory:

Why would such a privacy provision spark a trade war? Is the US going to increase import tariffs because the EU legislates stronger privacy protections? This makes zero sense to me.

The web is great and all but there are times when I want something with better desktop workflow integration.

Being able to reuse a chunk of code written for the web and integrate it into gnome could allow for rapid development of lightweight applications for the desktop.

Since the Linux desktop is still a minority platform, anything that makes it easier to port apps there without digging into python/mono/C++ is a win.

In fact with MS adding first class JS support for metro apps there might be an opening for a cross platform library that pops out Metro and Gnome apps.

Right, and individual universities that are supported by those countries.

What you should be argueing is that researchers are more densely distributed in top universities in the US, because in Europe researchers are less likely to jump to another country. Especially when they prefer to publish in their own language.

This may or may not be true.

Truth is, I at least and I think we in general are rather envious of the awesome top universities the US has.

But I think the US should be envious that we in Europe have our quality spread over the universities, and no matter what your parents' income or background is, or how much effort you put into highschool, you will always be able to attend a quality university.

I think that's worth not having the world's top universities.

Or you could update your Rails version so the problem is gone?

My goodness. I thought "they can't all have done too badly" – if one did well it'll balance out. I was wrong.

All of them appear to be bust except VeriSign, who are massively down on the peak valuations they had in 2000. It's weird, it looks like a sensible linear growth except someone has scribbled over 2000 and 2001. If you had bought it in the bubble, you have lost a ton of money, even now, even though they've done well since.
Nice! I really like the minimalistic GUI of the app. In addition to joren's comment below it would be great if Vim/Gmail navigation key bindings (or just configurable navigation key bindings) would be available. Navigation with j/k, marking something as read with e/y, ...

But thanks for this great first version!
That's definitely a concern. Can't say I have an answer, except to say that someone unqualified (in this case, me) taking care of it isn't great for security either.
What this calculation fails to take into account is that when you transfer data over the wire it usually lands in the place where it's needed to be. This wouldn't be the case if you still have to read data from fedex'd drives and copy it to their appropriate locations, which should take additional time.
