It is scary that people down vote this comment. It is very sad to realize that people think they are the right person to evaluate if someone is bad or if it is good. This kind of of black or white thinking is something I didn't expect here on HN. I would really recommend some people to read some Fyodor Dostoyevsky novels... before getting into politics here.

Just in case you're serious: I wrote the replies out in a simple indentation format. Then when I had convinced myself I had some legitimate humor material I saved an HN page, looked at the internal layout structure (and lost a few IQ points in the process), and found an easy way to copy blocks of markup to create comments. Then I did a ton of link replacing and modifying for each comment, to give them unique IDs for voting, make username URLs match up, etc. (Note the ID numbers are all prime.)

If you view the source, it's obvious how it's cobbled together.

Interestingly, writing the first 90% of the comment content only took about 10% of the total time. Refining it and adding the rest took the other 90%.

I'd rather have less invasive searches than tiny pocketknives too, but I don't think such knives present any real risk of taking over a plane.

Sure, an attacker could kill people with a small knife, but killing and/or threatening passengers and flight attendants will not gain an attacker access to the cockpit. Everyone involved now assumes that a hijacker who gains access to the cockpit will try to crash the plane in to a building, so a significant portion of people will fight to the death against any attempt to enter the cockpit. I suspect everyone who would seriously contemplate hijacking a plane knows this and would not attempt a plan using only small knives.

There is no need to "[allow] open source software to be used for commercial purposes." That's already widely done. Open source and commercial software are not incompatible. Ask Google, IBM, Microsoft, Apple, and the Free Software Foundation.

But your essay wants to combing the concepts of "open source" and "mandatory licensing." Those concepts are mutually exclusive.

You need to read and understand the underlying moral philosophy being free software to understand why what you are asking does not make sense. Start with http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html .

This strikes me as a very risky way to do a migration. If there are bugs in the new application code you basically cannot roll back, since the old version of the code ran against an old database schema. The slower approach of making the schema change backwards compatible, deploying new code, and then dropping the old columns seems a lot safer.

This is some really terrible generalizing. I've spent a lot of time with a lot of different chickens (hens and roosters). If you spend a fair amount of time with them, you really do see individual personalities strongly emerge. I've known many chickens to learn their names and excitedly come running up when called. I've also known a few who enjoyed being held.

Now, I've also spent some time with ducks and I'm not going to do any sort of contrast like you have. Ducks can be just as pleasant to be around. They can also be horrible to each other. I knew one duck who was prone to getting picked on by his flock mates, who occasionally attempted to drown him.

I've gotta laugh a bit at your use of the word avaricious to describe a chicken. I'm not sure where that could even be coming from. I'm not trying to discount your experience, but it really doesn't seem to me that you spent the time getting to know the animals in any way. And using that as a justification to eat them. Well I've got some coworkers you might be interested in too...

Yeah, if anything small knives seem like a legitimate threat given box cutters were used on 9/11 to kill people. It's about time to allow shoes and belts to remain on -- it doesn't make sense to take them off if you're going to force people through naked xray scanners either.

Well, I'm not currently living in Venezuela, but throughout my network I see much rejoicing. It is not an accurate representation of Venezuela though.

A sample statement (not mine) to show how much of an effect he's had:

"
As it turns out, I'm not happy on this day of Chavez's -official- death. The things he managed to do to our society, the way his every whim ruled and stepped over all of our lives, what his deranged followers turned him into, how he made it ok to hate and dehumanize his opponents, what he did to specific individuals who opposed him, the lives ruined by unbounded crime and social decay ...all that, my friends, earns him a word that I have associated with him for a long time, in a way that almost makes it hard for me type: a monster. Something to be feared, a force so strong you must run away from to keep out of its path of destruction.

So I cannot manage to be happy. Trying to be happy requires forgetting for a second of the nefarious crimes and wounds he inflicted on Venezuela that will far outlive his physical presence.

The apprehension of how his wicked legacy will haunt us for generations drowns all else. No room for happy.
"
It's quite a sight to see. I love it. Although it doesn't officially start until this evening, they've been testing it every night. Here's a short timelapse that I shot of the bridge during one of the tests: https://vimeo.com/60966438
Off the top of my head some of the culprits I have caught in the hen house:

* Snakes (sometimes, having a snooze still full of young chickens),
* Eagles,
* water rats,
* wild dogs,
* foxes,
* feral cats,
* neighbour's dogs,
* pigs,
* kids,
* and others I have probably forgotten.

Needless to say, keeping chickens alive can be a tricky task. Each time it happened the coop was locked. Also, I grew up in country Australia.
You accused an accomplished political appointee of having a severe mental illness, suggesting it explains his legal analysis. I don't think the burden of proof is on me to refute that.

Odd, given that the log-periodic antenna is fractal and invented around 50 years ago (1957 by Duhamel and Isbell?). I personally was working with such antennas in 1992. They're not called fractal, since their invention predates the invention of the work "fractal" in 1975, by Mandelbrot.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-periodic_antenna

Edit:

The owners of the patent actually acknowledge the above in a FAQ on their site [2]. It's accompanied by an unconvincing justification for why they claim to own fractal antennas.

Honestly I don't know if it was good news. But I think it is somehow disgusting to celebrate someones death... I think that Hitler believed it was a better world with less of the kind of people he didnt like.

Ben Horowitz's Business Rap
I can think of several places I could cut you with a knife like that which would cause you to bleed to death in minutes. That doesn't actually seem like a good reason to prohibit them; larger knives, clubs and guns are legal to carry in most public places in the US. Crowded places with hundreds of witnesses are not where people usually assault each other with these items.

The threat of hijacking is the reason planes get special treatment, but the combination of secure cockpit doors and the perception that hijacking will lead to the deaths of everyone on the plane makes gaining access to the cockpit effectively impossible regardless of the availability of weapons.
The FA's point is that the 9/11 attacks were done with BOXCUTTERS.

I understand why they think these knives are still an issue, but I think the training doctrine of "don't obey the hijackers" has changed all that.

>You might be surprised at the quality of some of the P&S lenses.

As I have owned several P&S cameras, and done plenty of test shots with them (including in controlled conditions, on tripods in good light etc - despite this not being how the average user is taking the vast majority of their photos), I would not be surprised by the quality of most of them at all. They simply aren't good enough to take a great deal of advantage of much about about 5MP. Yes, you can get ones with pretty good lenses on. But that's far from the norm - and the norm has for years been to fit high megapixel sensors on cameras than can simply not do them justice. Which was the point of my comment.
The thing that gets me is the volume of eggs you can buy here. In the UK, a typical egg carton contains 6 eggs but you can buy them in packs of 12. Over here I struggle to get eggs in quantities small enough that I can finish them all before they spoil.

The other thing is a general lack of free-range or even what we would call "barn eggs" in the UK.
It wouldn't. A hijacking attempt with say... a katana might injure or kill a few more defending passengers than a pocketknife, but the outcome would be the same.
As mentioned by other posters, Rails, Grails and Django all do the job to a certain extend, the hardest part being to gen the UI that is generic enough, yet flexible. Man, hard is not the right word, it is insanely difficult to achieve this goal.

That said, this is what our team set out to do. We just released on github the full client for a new type of CRUD app generator http://github.com/urbien/urbini focused on mobile web apps. Cloud backend is not open source, but is free to use.

Developer creates a Model in Web UI on the phone, tablet or a modern desktop browser, and the app prototype is done. Backbone.js models are generated and are sent to the browser when you point it to your app.
Model definitions, templates, views, css, images are saved to appcache and LocalStorage and the data for models are saved to IndexedDB/WebSQL and are automatically synced with the server in background via CRUD. Is that what you had in mind?
What if instead one just focused on lowering the amount of times someone forwards an email containing an unsubscribe link.

Perhaps a "send to a friend" link in the email would help?

I couldn't agree with this more. I work primarily in Chrome and find it very frustrating nowadays when I have to switch to Firefox to debug. Back in the days when Firebug was the only show in town, I loved working in Firefox. Dev Tools gets in the way.

I appreciate the flashy experiments like Firefox Command Line but there's little chance of them entering into my everyday workflow unless I have the chance to learn them properly. I won't get the chance to learn them properly until I reach for Firefox as my main development browser.

On another note: The Chrome Network panel is invaluable to me and streets ahead of the Firebug Net panel. I find it hard to explain why I prefer it as the features are fairly similar, but the experience is much better. Maybe it's about the layout and clarity vs. density of information.
Building an Online-Recommendation Engine with MongoDB and Mahout
Podio - Copenhagen, Denmark (Full Time)

Podio, now part of Citrix, is a collaborative work platform that is already empowering hundreds of thousands of people to work the way they want to by building their own apps, without any technical skills. See https://company.podio.com/ for more info.

We're hiring for several different roles, including:

- Frontend Developer: Hands on experience in latest web browser technologies (object-oriented JavaScript, HTML, CSS), MVC-frameworks (Rails, Backbone, Angular or SpineJS) and automated integration testing (Cucumber, Selenium, Capybara and PhantomJS).

- Senior DevOps Engineer: Experience in building, deploying and operating large scale systems. Buzzwords: Chef, Ganglia, Munin, Nginx, MySQL, Memcached, RabbitMQ, Celery, Redis, Cherrypy, Python, Rails.

- Senior Mobile Developer: iOS, Android or both.

- Product Analyst / Business Analyst: Working on both product and business challenges and coming up with recommendations in all areas of the business. Required skills: deep grasp of statistics, SQL expertise and some experience in hacking scripts together for pulling data and automating the publishing of results.

Our ideal teammate:

* Will want this role to be a keypoint in his/her career. This is an opportunity to join a company and a product that is very innovative and where growth is accelerating.

* Has several years of industry experience; start-up experience is a plus.

* Has hands-on experience in at least some of the technologies we use. Still we recognise that the best candidates will be able to learn quickly, so if you have scaled big platforms before, we’d love to talk to you.

* Enjoys working in a lean, agile, test-driven environment.

* Is passionate about technology and keeps on top of trends.

> Obviously using a mouse to cut/copy and paste, within the same document or between independent documents, is more efficient than what you just described.

You may personally believe this strongly, but it's most certainly not "obvious"...

In reality, as is usually the case, it depends very much on the details of what's being done. Some cases are faster with a mouse, others with well-designed keyboard commands.

I don't think it's a chicken and egg problem quite. It's true that the types of people that do these kinds of things arrive when you have critical mass, but that's just statistics.

I think you can recruit people to do this kind of thing, or at least encourage people to do so, but it would require community management and such which doesn't really exist in the haskell community. If I felt cruel I would nominate dons to do it, since it's so easy to want to give more work to the guy who's already doing a ridiculous amount of good work.
You're definitely correct that bugs in the new application code would be a showstopper. Another bit of infrastructure we plan to write about if there's interest is our testing setup.

Basically, before any deploy (not just drastic ones like this), not only do all existing unit tests for the new code have to pass (with a certain minimum code coverage threshold), but also a full acceptance suite, which tests the new code and how it connects to all of our other bits of infrastructure. We simulate an extensive set of operations that a client might perform against a test instance of the server, and also run a number of tests with all of our services loaded in-memory, which allows us to mock/patch arbitrary points in the code, to assert that what we expect to happen is actually happening. We also run each of our various clients' test suites against the new code, to make sure that each client sees the behavior it expects to see. This testing suite has dramatically increased our confidence any time we have to do a deploy, and best of all, it's all done automatically.
What?! Where? Are you sure? it must've been a glitch in the system or something. :) (Fixed, thanks!)

Kayak is a rigid form that doesn't fit how most people travel. Adioso is a "what would you like?" box.

If I want to find a flight next week on Kayak, I have to fill in at least two text boxes, think about the dates next week, pick just one out of a calendar, and then get an error about Kayak wanting me to pick "one way" from their box at the top. In the end, I get only flights for that day and need to go through the aforementioned process over and over to see flights on different days. Kayak is the same old travel search frustrations in a slightly nicer interface.

Adioso also found me a cheaper flight than Kayak did. ("sydney to melbourne next week" - Adioso gets $35, Kayak $57 for the same day)

I think a general pattern is that the console should be smarter about the specific stuff people do in a console, in the browser. Every kind of DOM node should have specific representations appropriate for that DOM node, not just what falls out of some generic printer. There are array-like objects that get printed out funnily because they aren't real arrays – but {0: x, 1: y} is no more clear about the actual nature of the object than [x, y].

Why people won't code vendor prefixes into CSS tools I don't know; the obvious thing is for Firefox to ignore everything but "-moz-*" – and even then, to warn selectively (i.e., if there are old versions of Firefox that require a prefix, even if the new version doesn't, don't warn about it). Or hell, crowdsource the whole thing, when you encounter something invalid fall back on a community edited document about what is valid in other browsers, or represents a common and acceptable CSS hack. There's often good information in the CSS warnings, but there's too much useless information to find it. I'm annoyed things like LESS and SASS don't treat vendor prefixes specially either.
