Spoken like a man who has maintained applications but never databases.

In the world where data needs to be maintained, this is not necessarily an option. In the bank where I work, we deploy new code without taking any outage (provide a new set of stored procedures in the database, then deploy a second set of middleware, then a new set of front-end servers, test it, then begin starting new user sessions on the new system; when all old user sessions have completed the old version can be turned off). Taking down the database AT ALL would require user outages. Restoring the database from backup is VERY HARD and would take hours (LOTS of hours).

That being said, we do NOT test our disaster-recovery and restore procedures well enough.

The Recipe for the Perfect Site
I like the idea in concept but have a couple critiques.

1) Pricing- even the most basic package is ridiculous. For $5000 I would not only fly to your city to spend as much time with you in a face-to-face meeting discussing your medical problems, but I would give you my personal cell phone number for any questions or concerns at a later date.

2) Chart reviews- I don't know the credentials of the people doing the reviews, but I am highly suspect of anyone other than a board certified physician in a given specialty providing medical advise or in any way guiding diagnostic decisions.

Having said that, I think there is real opportunity here. I wish you the best of luck.
I haven't. It's a polite brush-off.

No way to fix it? Not that they should, but Facebook could just stop redirecting www.facebook.com/profile.php to www.facebook.com/<username>

By making that change (and having no other way to hit a page that redirects to my user page), there is no URL for the attacker to check against.

"The argument that increasing value means people would prefer to hold Bitcoins rather than spend them is specious. While it will make people want to have Bitcoins more, it will also make people want to convince others to give them Bitcoins more so they can have them."
> I fail to see how this fixes the problem.

1) Does this make things better?

2) Does this actively prevent future improvements?

If the answers are yes and no, it's a good thing and should go in.
I'm not a fan of those either. If you want to avoid having a "now leaving" page while still deterring spammers then you could create your own URL shortener with a separate domain. The link text could be the original link but the URL is the one generated by your shortener. You could even restore the original text with a replace() if you ever felt the need.
This is well known...
That was for the Samsung ARM chromebook, not the new Chromebook Pixel, which has an Intel i5 processor. I bet it is just as replaceable as the Macbook Air's internals (e.g. replaceable, but you need one of the small SSD-sticks)
When I was a junior analyst, I once deleted the main table that contained all 70k+ users, passwords, etc. The problem was fixed in 15min after the DBA was engaged to copy all data back from the QA environment that was synchronized every X minutes. Or we could have restored a back from a few hours ago.

Sorry yeah, I meant MBP.
Here's the author trying to explain how long Ang Lee spent working towards success:

"Imagine starting something now, this year, that you felt you were pretty good at, having won some student awards, devoting yourself to it full time…and then getting rejected over and over until 2019."

This reminds me of the "Story of Longitude" where John Harrison spent decades of his life in search of his prize (the first "X-Prize"?), and everyone is betting against him. How could a self-educated clockmaker beat the best minds of the day? Anyway it's a great story, which I've read a couple of times.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longitude_(book)

A few years ago when I was thinking up a name for my mobile "hobby start-up company", I took inspiration from Harrison and called my company h4labs (http://h4labs.com). His fourth clock (H4) won the prize. As a software developer, I image myself more as a craftsmen. I'm taking one idea and I'm going to refine it over several years. Hopefully, by my major forth version, I'll have something really worthwhile.

[Edit]
Btw, here's the book: http://www.amazon.com/Longitude-Genius-Greatest-Scientific-P...
Not all people are fully self-motivated. There are plenty of very smart people who on their own will fuck around a lot, but in a well-managed office with (for example) a daily 5 minute standup, will get motivated and add a lot of value.

Then there are just people who will fuck around under any condition, and never add value. Bringing everyone into the office is the first step to sorting the former from the latter.
This is based on an enormous unproven assumption, which is that fracking can be done without incurring catastrophic environmental costs. Coal mining and cigarettes look economical too as long as you foist the real costs onto the general population.

We did this, it made no difference.

What finally worked was a combo of: custom javascript on the signup form, disallowing new users from posting links in posts or signatures (and auto-banning ones who continually made attempts), insta-banning users who filled out non-linkedin links in the "linked-in link" profile field. We still get spam, but now it's maybe one post a week, instead of 10-20 a day, so it's at a level that moderators/user reports can handle it.
It's been said Hollywood is the only town where you can die of encouragement.

I've known a number of people (including myself) who have had film projects with interest from some of the biggest names in town. But what counts isn't interest, or someone thinking it's great, but someone signing some checks. And that can be incredibly elusive.

Even then, the results aren't always satisfying. There are some screenwriters who have sold scripts for some of the largest amount on record who refuse to watch the movies that eventually resulted.

I've read the average time from start to a produced film for a screenwriter is 7 years. And during those 7 years, you don't know if you're going to be a success or if you're just delusional.

Having been around the edges of the business for a good while now, I believe people who say the existence of each and every film is a miracle.

It's a crazy business.

>Disease is less prevalent now than it has ever been in history.

While I fault the parent for lack of nuance, I fault you for the same.
"Disease" is a complicated thing which has many dimensions. What you're pointing out is that the low-hanging fruit are sorted and that's great! Parent was saying [edit: I assume] that chronic diseases were less frequent and we have epidemiological evidence that was the case.
Foxglove is a really silly idea as a herbal medicine because it is available in a quantified purified form from the pharmacy called digoxin and you will minimise the change of running out of the very narrow therapeutic window that digoxin is both efficacious and non-toxic within.

Side effects of digitalis (the active component) toxicity include but are not limited to DEATH

Saying take foxglove instead of digitalis is kind of like saying take willow bark instead of aspirin, but potentially MUCH MORE DANGEROUS.

If what you mean to say is 'we shiuldnt give profits to the pharmaceutical-medical-industrial complex because I believe it is acting against my best interests' then go ahead and say so; however if thr best example of an 'alternative' medicine being efficacious or safer is foxglove you are woefully underinformed

As the saying goes, alternative medicine that works becomes medicine. That is digoxin

Rel=no follow discourages spam due to PR flow, but won't stop it. It still has an influence, however diminished.

Take an hour or two and write a script that selects all users with less than 100 posts and iterates through their posts removing links. The integrity of actual users is maintained while 99% of spam links eliminated. You spend a total of 2 hours, but don't have to deal with the emails any more - which could save many more hours.
Ask HN: Is it too late to start learning to code?
I'm 23 and have tried to learn coding a few times in my life without any success. I want to try again. I have a design for something I want to build that I think will make a difference in the world and want to start coding it. I know there must people in this community who are 'late bloomers' and started learning in their 20's or maybe later. If you are one of those people, can you please share some advice and guidance on how you got started and how you kept going?

It would mean the world to me. Thanks. :)

I disagree.

HTTP is defensible, HTML also has its time and place.

But what it evolved into (HTML/CSS/JS) is pretty obviously a dead-end waiting to happen. The number of hacks we pile on one another for a "modern web-application" is nothing short of ridiculous.

Realistically we still live in the internet stone-age, helplessly piling up stones and wooden sticks...
My bad. Changed it.
How is setting up a separate corporation for each patent different from setting upa separate corporation for each, say, office building? How much money is necessary to keep a corporation set up for these purposes from being underfunded? Do we really want to set that precident? Do we really want to require money to access the legal system? Keep in mind the business model is not to sue other companies. The business model is to create license revenue from the patent. Lawsuits are merely a way to settle disputes.
It is irrelevant whether people who spend bitcoins do it through a payment processor or not. You argued that "nobody spends bitcoins", and I wanted to show you why this specific statement is wrong. Payment processor or not, people do spend coins.
Thanks, that was really helpful. How different is it from a startup then? There are edge-cases like YouTubes and Instagrams of the world. But in general it is 3-5 years at minimum where you know whether your startup is going to be successful or not.

Some stores change their layouts around occasionally, mostly when new product comes in that needs space. I've seen at larger chains where nearly the entire grocery department switches overnight. I don't know if Trader Joes or Whole Foods does this, but that's something to take into consideration if you're mapping products.
Regarding the notion of duplication in grants, there is still a need for both repeating research and following projects with repeated aims, though in a slightly different fashion as promoted through recent reproducibility initiatives (http://www.nature.com/news/independent-labs-to-verify-high-p...).
"Hackintosh" and "Laptop" don't go well together. Regardless of the type of laptop. A certain model HP laptop is a small exception, but it's not 100% perfect.

From my own personal experience running a Hackintosh on a desktop PC I built myself (using community recommended and tested compatible components), I can say that a desktop Hackintosh can be very stable.

However, with a laptop you will be making compromises. The exact compromises vary from laptop to laptop. Usually these will include Wifi, battery life and general power management stuff (hibernate, sleep, etc) and possibly more. For a Thinkpad specifically, I do know that you'll end up needing to use a separate Wifi adapter as the built in one will not work with OS X.

To be honest, since you seem dead-set on a Thinkpad (and I don't blame you, I love them myself) I don't know what to suggest, aside from "don't bother" which you probably won't find too helpful. I would just caution you, don't set your expectations too high, regardless of what you may read on tonymacx86 or wherever else. As runjake said, people have widely varying definitions of stable.

It's not a timing attack.

The behavior of the browser, after appending an '#' to location.href, is different depending on the value of the current URL.

The state of the browser after making such a change gives you information about what the current URL was before making the change.

The information it gives you is whether or not you only appended '#.* ' to the current URL.

Normally, this information is only available in this context if the current URL follows the code origin policies of the currently executing code. In most browsers, this means you can only look at current URLs if they are in the same domain as the executing code.

The article shows code that exploits this to try to guess your Facebook username.

This is interesting 1) because it allows for brute force attacks to gain potentially sensitive information and 2) this may cause new discoveries that could make this more efficient or that expand what is possible and 3) because this behavior is as designed.
We run the resource page listed in the article [1] and as a result of that it is quite possible I've looked at more sites built with Bootstrap than even the creators.

From this I've really found two things:

One, I think there is some massive confirmation bias at work. If a site customizes Bootstrap and it looks nice nobody credits it as a 'Bootstrap Looking' site, so as a result it is only when the defaults are used that people really pick up on it.

Second, the alternative to a site built with Bootstrap is typically not a beautiful custom designed front end, but a pretty rough looking unstyled, inconsistent mess.

Bootstrap is the new baseline for what a website should look like, it should be customized, it can be improved but there is now zero excuse for it looking worse.

Hi! This is awesome from a technical perspective and was initially fun to play. Being reset when I died was a major problem, especially when joining for the first time in the middle of a round and playing against players who already had lots of stuff (at which point one tends to die quickly... and then have to start over).

I'm not an expert in game design (just psychology) but from a hedonic perspective I strongly suspect that you should not be stripping players of assets when they die.

In general, the case for "punishing" a player is weak (why cause the user pain?) and punishing them in a way that makes it hard for them to catch up in a highly competitive game is worse. The "Death" counter going up and losing your current position is sufficient incentive not to get killed, or there could be loss of points, or you could maybe strip off a single distance unit from the bombs.

In the long run you might want some sort of way for early players to catch up quickly, like drops near a player becoming more frequent when they're less advanced compared to other players. Meanwhile, ceasing to strip assets when a player dies, or stripping off only a single unit of distance (not number of bombs, having only a single bomb slows down gameplay a lot) will greatly increase game playability.

Especially don't strip the ability to kick bombs. This makes it far too easy for freshly respawned players to be killed.

One big difference would be encapsulation.

With mixins (sometimes called Concerns), you have a shared state between the module and the class including it.

With a real class, you have your own space and (probably) don't have to deal with state and method collisions.

Pros/cons to each surely, and a lot is a matter of taste at that.
Guy's gotta eat!
Exactly.

In one sense, this suggestion is as good or better than any I've heard. Let the defendant raise the possible issue with a judge - let a (presumably impartial and intelligent) judge look at it on a case-by-case basis, and let the plaintiff know in selected cases "this one's going to cost you lots if you lose". I guess there's then be a danger of a "reverse class action" thing, where someone like the scan-to-email patent holder sends out hundreds or thousands of legal threats, and some law firm decides to try and run up half million dollar costs for each and every defendant.

I had the same problem myself. In fact I still run a couple of forums. And I get at least 3 "remove my links" mails per day. I guess you can't ask them money, but they already cost you money (to maintain their spam and since the panda update read their emails asking you to remove it) so I guess the best solution is just ignore those mails.

Regarding anti spam I am afraid there is nothing you can do. Real humans will create an account for 0.01$ and they will post anything (I tried adding custom code in the post code as well, but those signups are not necessarily bots) In fact they even post if you don't allow them to post links (they post the urls with no http)

Next solution I'll try is social integration. Maybe that would work for some time but even this way spammers will find their way to create thousands of crap accounts in FB, twitter, etc.
