I wish that error handling would be a front-and-center part of any API instruction. There are a few obvious spots in the Evernote lesson I looked at where a sentence or two and a link to more info about how a remote network call might fail or a call could kick out errors due to input validations would really help someone who really wants to learn.

I actually want to acknowledge Angus for a nicely crafted article. He uses a focused hook (the Oxford Comma) as a way to enter a broader discussion, and then neatly rounds out the article by bringing it back in - albeit a little bluntly - at the end.

The Aadhar Card - What are the real intentions of the UPA government?
This is correct. Redactions are typically handled manually. In the legal industry, for instance, this task is typically assigned to contract attorneys or paralegal staff.

There are of course auto-redacting solutions available, but due to the nature of the documents (scanned, inconsistent formats), and the potential consequences of either mis-applying a redaction or omitting one, manual verification is required.

I agree about experienced iOS devs doing everything programmatically. IB is really, truly awful, and just about impossible to use in a team with CM. From most tutorials though, you'd think it was required. Not only is it not required, but it's easier and more powerful to not use it at all.
What Developers Need to Know in 2013 (Interview with Facebook Director)
I remember a few years ago looking at the same stats and seeing Rails be an order of magnitude larger. They seem to have equalized quite a bit since. From the point of view of becoming a great web app dev, yes learning as much as you can is great. From the point of view of investing in yourself given a limited amount of time, that may not be true. For example if you have 6 months where you can switch careers, learning Haskell might not be your best choice. OTOH PHP seems great, since it is used in plenty of places.

These numbers do not mean that if you know X you will get a job. They simply tell show that there is some level of usage of these technologies in the industry. Try doing the same search for Scheme or Haskell or even Erlang. All great to learn and will make you a better professional, just not greatly popular in the wild.

Previous discussion on a New York Times piece about the case: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5240514
I see something wrong in him mis-representing his opponent. Saying the New York Times "no longer believes that it was an accurate account of what happened" is a rose-tinted reading of the Times's response [1]. Granted, I may be projecting my Swiss sensibilities about what constitutes honest discourse.

US Airways/American Airlines Merger: Less Competition, Higher Fares
I can only hope that from now on reviewers of Mr. Musk cars will turn their mobile phones in data recording stations and even the field. Broder was taken by surprise; there is little precedent for the kind of irrelevant spin he was the subject of.
Interface Builder doesn't let you do anything very dynamic (moving panels, things that animate, etc) anyway. In my experience, a person experienced at programmatic view creation is a bit slower on initial creation, but a lot faster at refactoring or changes. A few well placed variables, for example, gives you a lot of instantaneous visual control.
C'mon, the entire response is a joke. The NY Times is just trying to save their face, after precipitously baking Broder without knowing the facts (and knowing that Tesla had that amount of data of the test drive).

Ms. Sullivan herself admits that "Did he [Broder] use good judgment along the way? Not especially." And also that "...Mr. Broder left himself open to valid criticism by taking what seem to be casual and imprecise notes along the journey, unaware that his every move was being monitored." Still, she insists that it was all done in good faith and integrity.

I'm sorry, but this is The New York Times. You can't just say "oh, our journalist just messed up by NOT following common sense instructions, and NOT taking proper notes, and still writing a misleading article [about the wrong topic -- the car -- rather than the super charge stations which was the original intention]. But hey, it was all in good faith, so no harm".

To me this is exactly the opposite of what I'd expect to hear from the editor of the NYT. She missed the opportunity to recognize the flaws of the original article, apologize on behalf of their journalist for not taking proper diligence and care that you'd expect from such publication, and offer readers (& Tesla) to re-do the entire test and publish the results again.

What example cases would your supposition provide the greater societal good?

Um, back up a second. Why do you assume that the interests of others is the standard of every ethical system?

I have an entirely different view: an individual's own life is the standard by which they must judge what's good and bad for them. I always think to myself, "Am I going to live the best, longest life I can if I choose this thing and not that? I only get one shot at my life, so I better do everything I can to make the most of it."

When I went to college, I choose my major on the basis of what I was interested in, not what someone else thought society needed. Same thing for my career. And I fell in love with my wife because of the person she was (and still is), not because doing so would provide some vague benefit to society, or even to strangers just down the street.

[And before you go there, this ethical standard of mine is not harmful to others. A person cannot truly benefit in the long term by lying, cheating, stealing, defrauding, and the like. Think of what kind of low way Bernie Madoff regarded himself over the last 25 years. He knew he built nothing, amounted to nothing. Look at how he lived in constant terror of being caught, how he lied to virtually everyone he knew, how he ended up in jail, and after all that, how his son committed suicide.

Imagine how much better his life could have been if he had tried to think about what was truly good for himself early on. Had he done that, he would have stopped, admitted his mistake, closed his business, paid penalties, and moved on. He'd still have his family (or at least his children), and although it would have been hard, he would have had a much better life for it.]
The problem here is that before Bootstrap, the only way for a non-designer to get something decent was to hire a designer. Now thanks to Bootstrap there's a whole new middle-ground of gets-the-job-done design that doesn't suck but is also very, very generic.

I still think on the whole we're better off than before because in most cases Bootstrap replaces things that were even uglier.

It's just a little disappointing sometimes when you see a company that clearly has the means to develop its own identity and design settle for generic Bootstrap.
No.

Their reporter was busted for at best being sloppy and at worst lying to grind an axe against electric vehicles -- and they delivered a mealy mouthed half-admission of fault. A controversial, sensational story that isn't "unassailable" and was shown to be very questionable should have been withdrawn without mincing words. If they want to run the tests again under more rigorous circumstances, then they're free to do so.

We really should expect better from those with the job of giving us information.
Just to be clear, none of the people in this article are claiming that producing Higgs boson particles is going to cause collapse of a (hypothetical) false vacuum. They're using the new data about the Higgs to learn about the existing state of the universe.
The article is good, but I need to point the elephant in the room:

"In the middle ages, people had to travel long distances to view concerts, which were performed by live musicians. Thus, the fixed costs of consumption were very high. If you bothered to pay a huge amount of money and time, you might as well view a long complex opera or symphony. On the flip side, when fixed costs are as low as a Google search, people prefer short YouTube videos of cats doing cute things. Don’t think that this means that the quality of culture has gone down."

By that logic, more people could be watching opera videos on YouTube if they cared, since the opportunity cost is the same.

I'm inclined to believe the fact most people prefer cat videos is not because of availability, but because most people are mundane.

You're right, I can be out of date, I didn't code in Django in the past year, only in Ruby on Rails, but still I have the impression that things go much slower on Django release circle compared to Rails

I'm glad to hear they are fixing the annoying bug in 1.5.

About libraries, Python follows the idea that there should be only one way to do something, ruby follows the idea that there should be more ways to do something, this is why there are a lot of alternatives, for example:

Testing: rails built in, rspec, minitest, test-unit, bacon, etc
JSON Generation for views: jbuilder, rabl
Memcache: memcached, dalli

And many other gems have more than one alternative, which I think it's nice.
I didn't mean for them to come across as mutually exclusive. The ^Z/fg approach is great for keeping context: Go to a directory, run something, edit something, suspend editing to run something else, resume editing, finish back at the command prompt.

With tmux I'd need to create a new pane, navigate to the same directory, and reinitialize any environment stuff like virtualenv.

Use both! :)

:!sh will work, but it puts you in an entirely new context (environment and CWD). :sh is just plain awful and doesn't emulate anything correctly.

I recommended ^Z/fg/bg because it's the fastest, easiest way to get to a good, functional shell if you're not using a multiplexer (tmux/iTerm2). If you map ^Z in your shell to "fg\n" then switching is lightning fast.
That's pretty much it. See above comments regarding context.
What is a Mt Gox Redeem code?

From the bitcoin wiki:

"Bitcoins from another Mt. Gox user sent by Mt. Gox redeemable code (A.K.A. coupon) may be deposited and will be available for trading immediately."

So it appears that the source code uses the Mt Gox bitcoin exchange to transfer a coupon from the issuer, e.g. a merchant, to the user, e.g. a customer.

Right?

Bitcoin coupons - what a great way to grow the bitcoin economy!

I noticed this too. In the original, the left and right arrows rotated you. In this, they correspond to 'face left' and 'face right' respectively.

The difference is, in the original if you were facing left and hit the right arrow, you'd rotate one position to the right. This would put you as facing down again. In this, if you're facing left and hit right, you immediately face right. To face down you have to press down.

It's still confusing my muscle memory :(
> You can redirect ssh failure messages to a specific log
> file, separate from all others

That's exactly the point. Now you redirect ssh failure messages to a specific log file (with all the garbage and automated attacks), and you'll very soon start to ignore it. And then your overall security is reduced, simply because you aren't paying attention.

Or, you can spend time combing through hundreds of invalid messages, trying to separate the wheat from the chaff. Either in one or multiple separate files, it doesn't really matter.

Anyway, not trying to convince anybody here. I respect the opinion that some may prefer to leave everything as the default.

For me, I just vehemently disagree with OP's point that using a non-std port doesn't have concrete benefits and/or reduce the security. To me it's exactly the opposite. At least if you know what (and why) you're doing.
You won't fit that much data into Mongo anyways, so does it matter?
Because URLs (especially the abbreviated kind that link-shorteners, pastebins, and image-hosts use) sometimes have to pass through bridges such as "reading them off a screen, writing them down on paper, and then typing them in somewhere else", or the slightly more direct "reading them off a billboard."
Data-driven Lord of the Rings: stats, timelines, maps, app
Really easy (alcohol) drink diary. Preferably using the UK system of units-of-alcohol. Units are given by (serving size in ml * strength in ABV) / 1000.

It needs to be really easy to use, so that people get an accurate count of how much they're drinking each week.

Things that make it hard:

1) Wine is served in different measures and strengths, and sometimes these aren't known.

2) Some spirits have legally defined measures, and others don't.

3) Some drinks are served in pints, and sometimes their strength isn't known.

I think maybe even just photos would be a good idea.
Not bad, but getting the data is one thing, but this screams for a "so what?" question. Interpreting data and making sense of it is where the real analysis takes place. For example, you would need to compare what makes Tolkien books stand out from the rest of the literature and so on in order to drive observations and tentative conclusions.

This being said, great work and hopefully this is just the beginning of a continued effort to better understand Tolkien's work.
Marie Claire? Really? Even US Magazine would be a step up from that rag.
It's interesting that your doctor wanted to put you on Wellbutrin since it's perhaps the only antidepressant that doesn't act on seratonin.

Add to that

5) What were the cruise control setpoints?

This data must certainly have been logged, and Musk hasn't released it. Musk accused Broder of lying about using cruise control. So why not back this up with direct evidence, why only release speedometer logs?

My inference is that these logs must support Broder's account very strongly.
I personally believe that errors of omission and misleading details are identical to dishonesty, but I understand not everyone may see it that way.

That is why I said it was misleading, and parenthesized my judgement of it (dishonest).

If smartphones are considered as personal computers, then Microsoft is toast.
Your stupidity is absolutely mind-boggling.
I think the benefit would be that people will ask more in-depth subject questions rather than "getting-to-know-you" type questions (to which we would get answers too short to satisfy).

I think HN has become increasingly focused on people rather than ideas and this would exacerbate the problem. IMO this should be news FOR hackers, not news ABOUT hackers.

AMAs would also largely be posted by people with a self-promotional interest (for the benefit of either themselves or their company) and upvoted by their voterings. Reddit AMAs seem like much more of a favor to the audience in comparison.

I'd have to agree, training on the Twitter API is just a bad idea. Its just weird to see a company do everything imaginable to drive people off their API to turn around and want to train people on it.

Most companies turn kind of hostile with their API when money is at stake but Twitter has been particularly bad, especially considering a lot of the innovation on their platform happened on third party clients. They haven't mustered any kind of innovation of their own either.

The Chinese weibo's like Sina are actually quite a bit more interesting if you can deal with the language and the governmental interference.

IANAL, but I think the PSF's trademark is on very shaky ground.

CMU Common Lisp has had an innovative, high-performance compiler called Python since before van Rossum invented the scripting language. A Common Lisp compiler and a programming language are, seems to me, very much in the same market space; I do not think the PSF could successfully argue in court that they do not overlap -- certainly not at the same time they were arguing that a cloud service does overlap a scripting language.

I'm sure van Rossum was unaware of CMUCL's Python when he named his language. But that doesn't matter in trademark law; you don't get to claim a trademark someone else is already using just because you didn't know about them.

And I believe that using a mark that was already in use gives you a very weak claim, if any, to your trademark.

CMUCL is, by the way, still in use.

Not headaches, but I would start to feel faint/dizzy during (causes a drop in blood pressure) and a day or two later, intense pain in any of the muscles I worked, and I would feel like I got hit by a truck. Like my limbs weighed a thousand pounds and I couldn't lift them. Even something as simple as tearing a piece of paper would feel like an immense effort. Early on, when I first got CFS, it was so bad there were several days when I couldn't hold my head up without crying.

This symptom is officially called "post-exertional malaise," which doesn't even come close to capturing the horror of the reality. The cause is that in people with CFS/fibromyalgia, the muscles don't replenish themselves with glycogen and ATP the way they ought to. When my FM was bad, I used to take D-Ribose as described in From Fatigued to Fantastic and that did help, but mostly I don't need it any more. I do much more physical activity now, and when I overdo it, I'm tired, but it's not disabling.

I try to avoid pain killers when I can. I haven't found that they change my sleep any more than the magnesium, which doesn't have the side effects.
