No apologies needed. The timing is pretty good, we were going to do it in two weeks or so. We've been working on this for about a year now and for the first 8 or 9 months I was telling people that it was usable but not useful. I think it crossed the barrier into useful a few months ago.

I don't know if you've noticed, but we also give the option to write in Markdown. Citations work too, as long as you put them in Latex style, ie \cite{synparb}. Markdown is nearly powerful enough to write a full-featured article, and Latex is clearly overpowered. I like the idea of extending Markdown to give it everything one would need to write an article, without all of the excess.

I hope you try this out on your collaborators.

I didn't mean to imply that there was anything sinister with Costco's advocacy; it simply seems like an instance where the interests of Costco and minimum wage workers (possibly) align.

In my mind, that's the benefit of a minimum wage program: you might have to pay more for labor, but so does everybody else, theoretically resulting in more customers with cash to spend. As a company which already pays above minimum wage, they happen to get the benefit without the cost.

There aren't 400k polished and unique indie games. There are 399.9k shit quality clones and a few gems. The question to ask is "if I make a quality game that is at least somewhat novel does it have a chance to do ok" where ok = enough to fund a 2-4 person team for their next project.
I can not wait to read this book, and I think this is something that will guide all future entrepreneurs and business people.
If you reread the last two grafs of the comment you just replied to, I made a case for why fiddly restrictions on drone strikes are actually counterproductive (they forestall the fix to the real problem, which is that we have to stop being in a war with a brand).
djb's NaCl and Google's NaCl appeared around the same time. The naming conflict is unfortunate, but it happens.

Hopefully Sodium doesn't suffer from the same namespace collision.
Nonsense. If that's the going rate for your labor, that's what it's worth. The fact that your employer can use your labor as part of a system that returns more value than the sum of its parts isn't relevant.
Motivation and Degree vs Dropout
Anyone say "Beanie Babies"?
I think you should avoid ExtJS. I believe you should avoid it because it's considerably heavier, hard to look at, and most importantly, there are some other people where I work that use it, and I don't envy them at all.

I feel that their development is held back in large part by difficulty understanding ExtJS, and difficulty finding documentation for a lot of things. Don't get me wrong, ExtJS has a very extensive man pages, but a lot of it is just descriptions (sometimes incomplete) of classes and methods -- where as when I last checked, the official guide was lacking.

I'm about 90% sure that ExtJS can dynamically load modules. It really depends on what kind of performance you are looking for for your app. There are some benchmarks out there, this one should help:
http://jsperf.com/angular-vs-knockout-vs-extjs-vs-backbone

Like acesubido said however, Sencha is a resource that the devs are free to tap into and get support from if they buy a Sencha contract. This will be extremely important if you feel the team will have trouble adapting.

However, my general opinion (as stated above) is that ExtJS is more trouble than it is worth. From what I have seen, my colleagues spent more time making ExtJS components and trying to figure out what went where than building useful functionality. Also, from what I have seen (though this may be specific to my witnessed case) - choosing ExtJS means basically moving away from markup, in general. When looking through the code base of my colleagues (I had to help them debug their app alot), there was a metric ton of JS, but almost no HTML. ExtJS, though very powerful, abstracts almost too much from markup, and gets very heavy very quick.

If you're wanting them to learn HTML5 as they go, or even any HTML at all, they're gonna want to at least get a chance of writing it.

Please take all this with a grain of salt, I'm very biased against ExtJS because of how much trouble I've had with it -- as a confident developer I'd choose Backbone/Ember/Angular... If I wanted the safety net, I'd choose ExtJS
More adoption means it can only go up.

Maybe too optimistic, but read http://falkvinge.net/2013/03/06/the-target-value-for-bitcoin...

edit: yeah, brainfart. I meant to say that "people buying a bunch of it" can only make it go up, not that it can't (or won't) go down again.
Yes he did. The President can't relinquish his duties as Commander-in-Chief in the event of an attack upon the United States. That role is constitutionally defined as a part of the Presidency, which the President is sworn to execute.

You will note the ancestor post above '[Rand Paul] has several times said all he wants is explicit clarification that drones will not be used against non-combatants, which people piloting a hijacked aircraft would clearly not be.'

And yes, Holder did say that the administration is not going to do that. If you think otherwise then I invite you to cite the specific statement you disagree with.
> Say what? NaCl supports Windows just fine – it's just djb's 'do' build script that doesn't, along with how to get a random number

You realize you're describing exactly what Sodium fixes (portable build system + randombytes for Windows), right? That was my original point.
It's happened already. Everyone (who tries to store wealth in it) just gambles that they won't be the people who lose out.
In this context, I don't see why the answer would need to be any more detailed or nuanced than the first paragraph of the Wikipedia page.

Criminal prosecution is governed by law, and arbitrarily executing citizens (specifically, per Senator Paul's language over the course of the filibuster, those who are not actively engaged in combat) is a pretty direct abrogation of rights granted by said law.

What's the real question here?
> We are not CONSTITUTIONALLY at war with any nation.

You could quibble about North Korea, but either way we are at war with the military elements of the stateless group known as Al Qaeda. The relevant law (2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force [1]) does not say "The U.S. declares
war against Al Qaeda", but it does specifically mention that the law implements the War Powers Act, which is one of the ways by which Congress has pre-determined how it will handle its right and responsibility to handle who the U.S. is at war with.

> do we allow the use of pre-emptive force, even non-lethal

Uh... yes? That's the only correct answer. Imagine if Churchill had been Prime Minister in 1938 and not Chamberlain.

Imagine if France had managed to bring down Hitler's government by rebuffing his action to remilitarize the Rhine basin?

Imagine if the Allies had refused to allow Czechoslovakia and its formidable defenses and military forces to be simply absorbed into the Reich.

Imagine if a military jet had been flying point behind the United 175 before it hit the South Tower of the World Trade Center. How many thousands of lives could have been saved by shooting down that airliner before impact? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Airlines_Flight_175

Absolutely it can be appropriate to use pre-emptive force when there is a clear and present danger.

I think this is what you might be referring to: http://content.usatoday.com/communities/theoval/post/2011/10...

The former vice president, who is promoting his memoir, defended Obama against critics who challenge the legality of Friday's attack because al-Awlaki was an American citizen.

"I think the president ought to have that kind of authority to order that kind of strike, even when it involves an American citizen," Cheney said.

"It is different between a law enforcement action and a war," Cheney said. "And we are at war. We believe we are in war. We believe the war started when they killed 3,000 Americans on 9/11."
That is what is up! Thanks I am definitely using it.

It's worthwhile to point out many people don't attend SXSW sessions but instead go to Austin during a combination of either Interactive or Music and just bum around the city, meet new people, and hack on their own projects. IMHO, the value of SXSW is not the conference sessions, but the change of environment.

If you're resourceful, you can do Austin during SXSW on a very tight budget (< $500 including airfare) and get a lot of value out of it by not being sucked into the conference mentality. My recommendation is to hack during the day while sessions are going on and go out and have fun at night.

If you're careful with your time and energy, traveling to Austin during SXSW can be a big productivity and morale boost.

Also, it's not clear that there are more level packs if you swipe horizontally. Maybe if you add the three little dots (page indicators) at the bottom? Or maybe arrows that you can tap to change the page? I know this all looks ugly, but sometimes you have to be explicit. There are lots of users who need a bit of guidance to navigate your app.

Can we at least build a device that tunnels everything we do on the device to one or more servers under our control in other jurisdictions via SSL so that the only information that can be gathered from a device is GPS location data and nothing else?
Take a look at arc4random() implementations for a hint.
The generator has to switch to a new key after (in the OpenBSD implementation, too lazy to check other implementations now) 1600000 bytes of output.
How do you switch to a new key?
OpenBSD implemented a sysctl to retrieve the output of the kernel prg. This is great, as it perfectly works in a chroot()ed environment.

Other operating systems don't necessarily provide the same facility. They will try accessing /dev/urandom, and if it doesn't exist, revert to something pretty bad, like read whatever is on the stack and use that as a key.

Sodium provides randombytes_random(), randombytes_uniform() and randombytes_buf() that you can use as drop-in replacements for arc4random(), arc4random_uniform() and arc4random_buf(). On Unix, the file descriptor to /dev/urandom will be kept open, and accessible after a chroot() call. On Windows, the crypto services provider will be transparently used instead.
I would be a lot more interested in meteor if it took more of a library approach and wasn't tied specifically to node.js and mongodb.

I understand they are moving towards this by having a protocol and different adapters for other databases.
What happens if I'm not that good?

There's so many things to do that I feel so left behind. Just when I think I reached the finish line, I realized I just barely made it to the starting line for a very competitive race.
[Disclosure: I work for AgileBits, the makers of 1Password]

It's true that in the Agile Keychain Format item title and URL are not encrypted, but it is a mistake to think that only passwords are encrypted. That's not how it works.

The details of exactly what is and what isn't encrypted in the Agile Keychain Format is documented in the first link in the article. (And has been since the day the Agile Keychain Format was introduced). The rationale for that design choice was spelled out later in
http://help.agilebits.com/1Password3/cloud_storage_security....

among other places.

Attachments are encrypted. Other than some meta data (modify times and the like) the only things that aren't encrypted are the Location (URL) and the Title. Earlier versions of the AgileKeychain format also left password strength unencrypted, but that was changed (and announced) years ago.

And as we've promised, we are moving to a new format that encrypts everything (except some things such as modify time). The 1Password Cloud Keychain format is documented here:

http://learn.agilebits.com/1Password4/Security/keychain-desi...

When we first promised this, we weren't sure how we would achieve the three goals of having:

(1) Everything encrypted.
(2) Only decrypting a single item at a time.
(3) Efficient listing and matching of items to websites.

To understand how we've managed to achieve all three you need to take a look at the details of the Cloud Keychain Format.

Currently, the Cloud Keychain Format is only used for syncing data between 1Password 4 on iOS devices. But it will eventually replace the Agile Keychain Format everywhere.

Cheers,

"The reason why they chose ExtJS of Sencha instead of Backbone/Ember/Angular is due to the level of support they can get from Sencha, not because of any X number of features."

I would pay 10x more for consulting instead of support. The constant need for support means your team is incompetent. If you need external support to keep things moving, chances are you won't get very far.

"in the eyes of the 'business guy' they'd opt to throw money at the problem for it to go away, no time should spent troubleshooting or googling."

I'm also a co-founder and technical guy, I assure you spending money is always the last thing any company wants to do.

"Decisions like that don't come from developers, they come from the typical 'business guy'."

Lead engineers are usually who de-facto make those choices together with a CTO.

"To sum it up: your client can't rely on a community of people that supports things only in their spare time."

I've been running an 'enterprise' company with Rails, for almost 7 years now. Both the applications and the company are large. I don't really understand what 'rely on a community' means here. Who does not depend on open source software?

I've played around with Markdown a bit, especially in writing computatable documents using the IPython notebook. I've actually been hoping to use either Markdown or reST along with pandoc to write a future paper, but I need to do more testing to make sure the conversion is as robust as advertised. But hopefully if Authorea solves the collaboration issue, then I'll have a viable alternative to that approach.

> but the claims used to support a $12 would also apply to $1000

I disagree with this statement. It may be true that _some_ of the claims used to support a $12 wage would apply to a $1,000 wage. Surely you won't take the position that this is true of _all_ possible claims.

The following claims I post are examples of counter-claims. I haven't thought these positions through entirely, but they refute the reductio ad absurdum argument that $1,000/hour is as reasonable as $12/hour:

* I make a claim that most minimum wage jobs produce more than $9/hour of productivity to their employer. Assuming this is the case, we can raise the minimum wage to $9/hour without severely impacting the number of jobs currently available. This claim becomes less true the higher the minimum wage goes, and I certainly wouldn't support it at $1,000/hour.

* I make a claim that the job-losses caused by raising the minimum wage to $9/hour are offset by the job-gains caused by people scaling back from 2 jobs to 1 job). This is certainly not possible at $1,000/hour.

I think your reductio ad absurdum in this case is indeed absurd, unless you are using it to invalidate _specific_ claims (i.e. refuting the increase MPC claim)

I think your reply misses the point. The children weren't targeted (although everyone knew they would be hit), while the terrorist might be targeted by the drone, but everyone knows they regularly hit non-combatants (weddings, kids etc) and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
At least everyone agrees WW2 was a war, how many places that drones operate in have actually got a declared war in progress?
True, but supply and demand still apply in an all online currency.
No one mentioned about the URL. Ok, I'll mention it :)

Paul's beef with the "we have no intention to " position is that by extension, if there was an intention to, lethal force against a non-imminent threat on an american citizen could be unilaterally carried out by the decree of a president. He disagrees with this position, that the president has this constitutional right. He wants the administration to state clearly that they do not have this right. He mentions the Posse Comitatus Act over and over which prohibits the military from using force on American soil unless war or an insurrection is declared. If the military cannot operate within the boundaries of the the US (except for imminent threats), then these issues are police matters. There is a legal process for this. Paul describes the clear distinctions that separate military and police power from judicial power. Clearly and unequivocally, the precedent needs to be stated and defined. I think, and from what I gather, Paul has stated that this is obvious and not very complicated and can easily be stated. But for some reason the message keeps getting muddled by the administration, and we get the repeated "no intention to" answer over and over...when the dispute comes down to "have no constitutional right to". That is the disagreement.

Not Paul, but an interesting video nonetheless. Why can't Holder just say, "No, it doesn't." And then move on to his expansive reply. He dithers and vacillates and it just seems unnecessary to me.

Unfortunately, it's a clone of a type of game that is commonplace on Flash portals. It doesn't have remarkable features beyond being polished - and what the press and the (word-of-mouth) public needs most to market the game for you is stuff that can be remarked upon. On HN the same rules don't apply because pure execution can be praised instead.
The dictator doesn't have to be multiple countries, but a dictator for at least a while. Would someone who was a dictator for a day but was otherwise a civil servant for 30 years be called a dictator? I wouldn't say so. You can say he was a dictator for a short time, but not just "a dictator" without that context.
Costco is supporting the rise in minimum wage only because it helps them. They have lower labor cost then their competitors. I can hardly see any employees in Costco warehouses. This is the same type of hypocrisy as them supporting higher taxes for the rich and then getting a huge loan to pay ahead of schedule bonuses for the execs and board members to avoid new tax rates.
Volatility much! Watching it swing up and down between 36 and 41 is just crazy.
There are many, but one would be the lack of opportunity to improve ones situation by self-improvement. For example, you might be working two jobs to pay rent and other necessary expenses, so you have no time to learn new skills. Another would be that you cannot afford to send your kids to school (i mean K-12 public school) because you need them to work in the fields, so you can't create inter-generational opportunities.

People working at minimum wage can find themselves in such situations.

At this time, you can get ahead on MW, if you team up with other MW workers to live together and one person can get enough "family" support to get to the next level. However, our society, being very individualistic, doesn't really recognize this.
Yes. If the job actually produces more than $(X+1)/hour worth of productivity to the employer.

The employer, unable to continue their advantageous position of paying $X/hour (it being illegal), but finding the job still worth retaining (it generating more than $(X+1)/hour) retains the employee.

The employee's salary goes from $X/hour to $(X+1)/hour.

Or did I totally misunderstand your question?
While there is quite a deal of information on integrating ember-data with rails, there is much less on integrating it with other server-side MVC/REST frameworks.

This means that using it with another framework often means modifying that interaction pattern to be more like how rails views ajax, complete with the root objects ({"model":{}}).

This may more accurately apply to the REST driver in ember-data, but that is quite tightly coupled with the rest of it.
In my honest opinion Dojo is a better choice than ExtJS. As was mentioned elsewhere, ExtJS abstracts you away from the HTML quite a bit, that being said for really large apps, ExtJS and Dojo are really the only two games in town. I have built some extremely large apps with Require/Backbone/jQuery/Underscore etc. and while it can be done, Dojo and ExtJS provide more uniform ways of doing it, think of them as more akin to Java where the other way is more akin to Perl one provides a well tested and integrated toolkit for building large apps. While the other allows you to add features from different libraries as you realize you need them, sometimes that leads to less constancy in the code base. But with good conventions and design you can build and app with Backbone/etc. that is just as maintainable and scalable as ExtJS or Dojo. There are all, after-all just Javascript when you strip it all away. When I use Dojo, I also use Backbone as the two are compatible and Backbone provides a far better design pattern for Hash management and routing.
Any reason why you haven't tried using Sidekiq, which is much more efficient in terms of using memory resources? Or is Resque just good enough for now?
It does not, because you are still stuck with i5/i7 processors, whereas workstations, especially those in high performance applications, would be much more suited to a Xeon.

I run a linux workstation with dual 6 core Xeon Sandy Bridge-EP's, with 64 GB of RAM. Being on an i7 would be limiting.
Agreed, caps here to highlight the change.
