I've never been hassled by cops, DMV workers, or private security guards. In fact two years ago I screwed up car registration paperwork and a DMV worker was invaluable in helping me get it sorted out efficiently.

Am I somehow special? I doubt it. Maybe I don't have problems with government employees because I approach those situations with positive expectations and I try to be nice to people.

Maybe I do that because I actually know a few people in customer-facing government roles and they are no more entitled or abusive that anyone else I know.

I can tell you though that from their perspective, abuse is a frequent occurence--usually from folks who walk through the door with a sense of persecution. A lot of people view anyone behind a government desk as fair game, since, after all, everyone knows the government is out to get us.

citizens should get the money directly. why should a private bank be able to borrow at x% and sell the money to me at x+4%? if you are going to have the fed system the government should loan out mortgages directly at the same rate plus a fixed fee for a government approved appraiser.

When I’m angry I take some Essentiale forte N
Essential Forte stimulates the metabolic function of the liver by enhancing the conversion of neutral fats and cholesterol necessary in facilitating its metabolism.
Essentiale Forte is also prescribed for toxic liver damage related to Pregnancy toxicosis and pregnancy or non-pregnancy related cholestasis. Essentiale Forte is also used for pre and post operative care management of patients undergoing liver or gallbladder surgical operation.
Yeah, sorry. Having cyclic pitch control on the 4 rotors of a quadrotor makes even less sense - then you really really might as well just be a helicopter.

There aren't a lot of quadrotors that use pitch control. That's half of their appeal; hook 4 brushless motors up to props and you're good to go. If you add in pitch control, then you either need 8 dof (4 motors, 4 pitch servos) or 5 dof (1 motor with a complicated power train to drive the 4 rotors, and 4 servos for pitch control). Both are more complicated and expensive, and again you might as well just be a helicopter.

Software engineering is one of the more well-paid professions available. And yet occasionally on Hacker News there seems to be somebody who doesn't feel they have quite enough money yet. Usually they manifest this by trying to top up their bank account with some underhanded Amazon referral link couched within a blog post. Today it's another "open source software should cost money" plea.

Last time I saw it manifested in this particular form, it was Zed Shaw's "Premium Branch Manifesto" (http://premium-branch.org/) in which he breathlessly warned of impending doom:

> If this balance of power is not corrected I
> fear FLOSS will actually die.

I think it's kind of sad that so many people apparently don't see one of the main things I find so amazing about free software. We're a community of people who give stuff away to others for free often for no other reason than the fact that building it is fun enough in itself. This is simply not a thing on this kind of scale in most other professions, and I feel a little defensive when somebody says we should put a stop to it.
I just shipped my first AR app to a customer, and I have been having serious Snow Crash moments in real-life, lately. As a mobile developer, all I can think about now is the death of the native interface, and the new age of the rule of Augmented Reality. Yikes, I've slipped and fallen into the digital hole that is: reality with overlays.

For example I've quite literally got a little 3d animated ghost that sits in the corner of my favourite hangout, which only I can see through my phone when I point its camera in the right angle, which tells me the name of the track being played on the house speakers .. it really is a moment like Snow Crash, played out in real life, I have to say..

Setting aside any legal issues, it just seems odd and probably not in the OPs best interest to have a name that is so strongly associated with an extremely popular mobile game.

It sounds pragmatic to me.

It takes someone very naive to be rude to a cop or other government official, knowing how miserable they can make your life with very little effort.

It takes someone even more naive to genuinely care about someone who would be willing to use frivolously the power to make your life miserable.

There are "good" cops and government officials, but they are the minority. When you encounter a random one, you don't know which kind they are, and by the time you find out it's too late.

Pretending to be nice, in this context, doesn't seem shitty to me, it seems like the ONLY course of action a reasonable person can take. And thus it's my MO when dealing with cops or other government employees.

Fix that. If you can't test your config and your authoring by crawling server-rendered documents, others can't crawl them either, and they aren't really part of the World-Wide Web.
I have two Chromebooks. One with 3G, that runs the stable ChromeOS, and the other wifi only, runs ChromiumOS, latest ToT, mostly because I'm working on getting ChromiumOS to run on our hardware, so it's a bit easy to compare and contrast when things are working and when they aren't. It's dead simple to boot off an sdcard or USB stick. The Chrome/Chromium did a REALLY good job at making the information available.

I'll probably buy the Pixel as well. The more I use ChromeOS, the more I realize how much time I waste on other crap that doesn't really help me get done what I want to do. And using ChromiumOS, there is the "dev_install" command which will set up a Gentoo chroot in /usr/local, that points to the machine that you built it on, and if you're running the devserver, you can run emerge pkgname, it will shoot it off to the server to build it, and once it's done compiling, installs in the chroot. There is also gmerge which will install ChromiumOS packages for you (e.g. A new version of the browser or maybe a newer kernel, without rebuilding everything) OR you can build a new image, hit up the Help page in settings and it will generate a diff on the server and update the entire install to the latest image. It's really an interesting setup, and I really like it.

Everything goes through gerrit, so you can even help out with version bumps and or patches fairly easily. The documentation is really good, and if you happen to hang out on IRC, the ChromiumOS developers are extremely helpful when something isn't clear, and even update the documentation for clarity.

> This is my fault, its 100% my fault.

> Often when we hit these kind of issues, as developers, we love assigning blame. Blame points my way … don’t do it again … move along nothing more to see.

I have never found this to be a constructive 'culture'. Instead of placing blame on others or feeling guilt myself, I try to see if there's a way of improving the process itself instead of relying on people not fucking up. Because that's going to happen to everyone. Bugs are still going to happen, but if the process (be it deployment, testing/QA, dev, w/e) eliminates potential points of failure, they will be less frequent and hopefully less severe.

Its not controversial. Since "superior" is a superlative, it doesn't actually mean anything. So what you said is true but meaningless. Its just a matter of English, not ideology.
Scala is too different from Java to call it better. Java comes with cheap programmers, some of the best tools in the world, reliability, and speed. Scala comes with style (functional, lack of boilerplate, sugar like xml(?)), anecdotal rapid development, and some pretty good concurrency.

Personally I think the syntax in scala is even uglier than Java's, if such a feat were possible, and looking at scala code makes me want to stab my eyes out with forks. Thankfully I don't think I'll have to touch the JVM any time soon.

Most of those are not actually software security features, but rather policy differences between Mozilla and Google. Those that aren't policy decision, are either not security features, or is features not implemented first in chrome (through chrome was first using it in default installation). Chrome get a half point regarding tab isolation.

Tab isolation by process is something between a security feature and a vulnerability mitigation feature, through I would likely call it a vulnerability mitigation feature. It doesn't do anything to prevent exploits, but it does prevent further exploits once a vulnerability has been exploited. Still its a nice thing to have (like insurance after the house has burned down) and is something Firefox should implement.

HSTS is nice, and now included by default in most browsers (chrome, firefox, opera). Personally, using noscript, security aware firefox people have had HSTS before firefox 2 was release. That is 2 years before chrome existed. It also exist in https-everywhere.

Regarding Cert pinning, I can't say I am a fan. Its a whitelist approach to security, where Google decide who is important enough to be privileged for improved security. Chrome was aware about the scaling issue from the begining, and has improved the situation by the Cert pinning extension RFC draft. Once/if it get finalized and more security professionals go through it, it will be interesting to see how it scales, what corner cases there is, and if the caching effect will come back and haunt people.

As for the rest... Chrome led the way of auto-update without first informing the user, while Firefox poped up a request for update. In real world security, this is an improvement because the user can't be trusted with deciding if the program shall update. Google has acknowledge that this only a useful feature on windows/Apple, and has this disabled on linux, assuming because a linux user can be trusted with the decision about updating. This is not a software difference between firefox and chrome, but rather a policy difference between Google and Mozilla.

And to comment the last features, PDF and Flash. Google has not written their own Flash handler. They have however bundled it with chrome and thus made sure its updated. This is something Firefox simply can't do thanks to license costs, which mean its mostly a difference between Google and Mozilla as organizations rather than a software improvement of Chrome. I am not sure if the same is true regarding PDF.

A bit of background. Ziff Davis (parent company J2 global, Nasdaq JCOM) purchased IGN[0] from News Corp. Of the major properties in the IGN group: IGN.com, AskMen, UGO.com, 1up.com etc. they are shutting down GameSpot, 1UP and UGO[1] and laying off a bunch of people in the remainder of the business.

In the media world most people associate 'online' with efficient, and this demonstrates that it isn't necessarily true. There is still a lot of competitive pressure if all you are doing is running a fat organization and replacing paper with a web server.

Ziff apparently only paid $100M for the business[2] (News paid $600M+ only years ago) and IGN has 53 million unique visitors (in a high yield demographic - young males) across their properties, yet they couldn't make the business model work. Demonstrates just how 'thin' the new media businesses have to become in order to survive and the challenge that old media companies are facing.

Eurogamer and Edge are reliably good. Polygon is very new but excellent. TIGSource covers just about any indie game that gets released, although it's better as a source of information about what's out there than as a reliable review site — the indie community is pretty small, and the reviewers are often friends with the developers. Rock, Paper, Shotgun has some of the best coverage of anything that runs on a computer, including independent games, but it doesn't cover consoles. Venus Patrol focuses on a more artsy niche, although its coverage can be pretty spotty and it's quite new too.

Hope that helps!

Chester's Zeroth Law: He's never had an original idea, only good ideas that sometimes he doesn't know are unoriginal.
You're thinking of referendums. A petition is a small number of people pissed about something that not everyone may be interested in. I'm sure my grandparents have never heard of Aaron Swartz and don't know what "jailbreaking" means, so it makes no sense to make them take a decision.
Really? I can see claiming Scala is superior to e.g. Ruby would be controversial, but I can't imagine many people claiming Java is as powerful, particularly here.
Note that I said in the problem domain. You can absolutely reduce complexity in the solution domain through abstraction, but somebody somewhere has payed the piper to sustain that illusion.
Thanks for taking the time to write this. This was definitely not techcrunch's finest moment.

Never used movable type, but if somebody made a fast static website generator with a web GUI, a decent online editor and a good plugin system, along with an easy-to-setup deployment system, why wouldn't people pick it up? Apart from the fact that they already use Wordpress, but this has no bearing on the dynamic-vs-static website generator debate. There is nothing intrinsic about static website generator that makes them harder to use.

But of course, in this case you should not aim for the sexy "minimal" label (or better, write a GUI leveraging an existing system).
Meteor CEO here. miles_matthias's got it right.

We think of it like the difference between git and GitHub. git is free and open source, both the client and the server. But many people prefer to use GitHub, which puts a nice management interface on top of the server. And if you are a company and want GitHub inside your firewall, then you can write a check and download GitHub Enterprise, which is a copy of GitHub that comes as a machine image that you start on your own hardware.

Our plan is to build nice management tools for Meteor deployments, and make money primarily by selling an enterprise-ready version of those tools to companies that are large enough to need them, analogous to GitHub Enterprise.

Ultimately the big idea behind the company is to improve the developer experience of the entire application lifecycle, from writing your app, to testing it, to deploying it, to monitoring and scaling it. I think that modern frameworks need a story for all of these pieces.
See, I think it's a bigger problem that it's such a taboo topic within the open source community.

Not all developers have (or want) regular-paying jobs. Many of us want to work on open source projects full-time, but cannot afford to because there's a general assumption that their software will be beer-free.

Now I agree that giving stuff away for free is awesome and is a huge reason why so many open source projects have a large, sustaining community to keep them alive, but I don't think we should poo-poo developers who believe they could do a better job if they expect (EDIT: some of) their users to pay for their software.
News Corp, and old media in general, is the kiss of death for internet companies. News took IGN from $600m to $100m, and MySpace from $580m to $35m. Think about that if your exit strategy involves one of those companies. By all means take their money, but do it knowing they'll kill your company.
As someone who's just learning lift, it's woefully underdocumented. You can do some really cool stuff with it, but learning requires scrounging tutorials from random blogs, and it then turns out half of them are out of date.

Templating wise the Wicket approach is the best I've ever used, and I wish that style was available in other languages. You don't put any logic or control in your templates; your object graph in code controls your page hierarchy, your components are genuinely reusable objects.
SciPy: http://www.scipy.org/ If you know that and the background math it requires, then you are fit to work in almost any data analysis setting you can imagine.
After some time using LaTeX I think is a very useful tool and probably online editors will help to the wide use of it.

As I see it now, the variety of editors for Mac, Windows and Linux may cause problems when migrating from one environment to the other. Hopefully this will be over with tools like SpanDeX.

BTW, congrats for your tool, have been using it for few hours and feels awesome.

But wouldn't it be nice if it were easier to make a living as an independent developer, working only on open source? Don't you think a lot more good stuff would get written?

I get that it's more fun to just hack for fun and just throw stuff out there than it would be to be doing it for a living. But we all have to make a living somehow. Are you better off with a day job that leaves you a little time for open source, or spending all your work time on open source but having that be more like a job?

I'm sure different people will answer that question differently, but I think there have to be more people out there that would like to get paid for OSS work than have currently managed to find a way to do that.
