I don't remember the Slashdot borg icon (I was 10 in '96 when we got AOL, our first internet service) but I do remember the song 'Bill Gates Must Die', Micro$oft as a derogatory term,the blue screens of death, IE, antitrust, my printer doesn't work (again!), and on and on. I was just a kid but I remember the sentiment being that because of Bill Gates' ruthlessness as a business man the entire computer industry was suffering from a lack of any real competition, a stranglehold on vendors, customer lock-in, and on top of it all you always had to buy a new computer to upgrade to the newest Windows and it would only work for like a couple of months before everything stopped working one by one. I'm not stating all this as fact (though some of it is), that's just the sentiment others around me had at the time (like 1995 - 2001).

Since his departure from MS though I personally see him as a much kinder, gentler, and even more brilliant man than ever before. It's strange because there was a time when I loved to hate the guy but now that he's gone and seeing what Microsoft is doing these days I almost feel like "damn, I wish Bill Gates would come back, that guy was smart". Maybe this is a totally crazy thing to say but I'll say it: I feel like it's the same feeling people who followed politics in the 90's feel about Bill Clinton. They may have been pissed at him for reasons XYZ at the time but now many have a much different memory of him and kind of yearn for him to come back (if it were possible). Nostalgia is a powerful thing.
Could you not just use Superglue for a temporary fix before treatment?
No doctor talking: I think it all depends on the situation. If you are bleeding heavily and the only way to stopp it quickly enough would be to use the gel then use it and treat the bacteria later with antibiotics or something...
Totally agree. The OP posted at 4:05 a.m., when I was very much asleep. I've been a little bit less responsive this week in general as I've been participating in TAG[1] this week. I'm very sorry that our project came across as uncaring.

Sorry, but that's just ridiculous. You get some very detailed actionable feedback and flat out refuse to engage with it because it contains some mild sarcasm?

No, obviously you would not like to help unless it's 100% on your terms, and you're not even telling which terms they are. Which is not very helpful at all and, in fact, showing a considerable degree of dickitude.
I think it just shows that HN likes controversy. Which is news to no one :)
I am not a doctor, but from what I've read, treating an infection is usually considered much less of a priority by emergency responders than stopping severe bleeding.

You can bleed to death in a few minutes. Few if any infections are going to be that fast-acting. So stopping severe bleeding will hopefully buy you some time to get to the ER, where they'll pump you full of antibiotics if they have to.
Ah, interesting. I've seen older texts listed on Amazon.com many times and had always assumed that getting them was pretty easy. OK, well, nix that idea then. :-(

This logic that boys should play with dolls in order to help equalise genders always bugs me as stupid – assuming that having played with dolls is the reason women are oppressed (which they obviously aren’t), avoid technology and stay at home, why exactly would you want a larger part of the population to engage in such an outright dangerous activity?

That's a solid question. I don't know.

I would be tempted to say that automated agents would obviously be prior art, but inventions that just automate long-standing physical workflows in a straightforward way (do it on a computer) have been found patentable more than a few times.

So I wouldn't be optimistic that the reverse isn't also true.
> Is it fair for people from that 3rd world country to sell the book back to the USA and for you to miss out on your profit?

Yes, and no better reasoning is required other than "It's my book now and I'll do whatever the fuck I want with it."

If you restrict what people can do with their own stuff just because of the indirect effect on a current business model then you'll simply snuff out other (better) business models.

Free and open-source software may have never become popular if MS had been able to complain that it was eating into their business model and affecting their ability to "give away" software to universities and schools, and that's just one example.
Where I think you went wrong is the homepage. When you see it, you get that warm, fuzzy feeling that you're about to use one of those projects that "just works", the kind that delights you with how easy it is to get up and running and makes you wonder why all software doesn't work that way.

There's a promise that getting started is "easy", and a short code snippet that gives a false sense of confidence. It just shouldn't be there if it isn't true.
Bet the attack doesn't work on CM10 (Cyanogenmod) which people should be running anyway instead of basic android, it's amazing.
Ok, I misunderstood the fee. I assumed that it was to have the ability to purchase domains. That makes more sense, and that model I like a lot more. I don't think I'd pay $7.99/mo for it though. At that rate I'd have to be kicking off a handful of dead domains a month to not lose money (time spent plus the fee), and therefore would rather just leave them be.
Seeing as the page's title has "fun.js", I thought this was yet another 'functional JS' lib... but I was pleasantly surprised to see that this is actually a book that covers different aspects of FP within JS.

Your reply on the ember forum seemed packed with frustration, hence the response so far I guess.

Wouldn't it be better to include a brief note on the homepage to highlight that docs are WIP and point to other getting started resources? Just to avoid further frustrated newcomers?

Looking forward to the updated emberjs docs.

Eylean Helps Universites And Weapons Manufacturers With Agile Project Management
But that’s not a problem with the agile approach itself, is it? Unless you would try to argument (as the OP does) that there is no way to do agile right. Which sounds like a lunacy to me, given that the manifesto basically says to stop doing cargo cult management, stop following meaningless rituals, stop ignoring problems and start using common sense. Also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hype_cycle.

Superglue probably wouldn't dry as fast. It might be toxic, depending on the chemicals. It sounds like this forces the blood to clot, I don't know if the blood would clot fast behind a superglue barrier.
I don't know enough to say why that would or wouldn't work in some absolute sense. But if we're comparing instead of talking absolutes, my first question to narrow it down is: "Doesn't superglue have some gnarly stuff in it? Stuff that you don't want in your body if an alternative like this exists?"

There is a 'source code' link at the bottom that leads to https://github.com/antirez/lamernews, which looks mostly the same with a different stylesheet, so I think they did save that effort ;)

Things to Know When Designing for iOS
Does anyone know of a JS framework which plays nicely with Server Sent Events or WebSockets? I've tried pretty much everything so far, and it's always a colossal hack to implement, as none of them seem to have been built with anything other than CRUD in mind.
Back when I was working for one of NCSoft's studios, Richard Garriott came out and took a giant steaming dump on us in the press - and at the time he still worked for NCSoft. Needless to say, we were all pretty offended. He apologized, of course - but it looks like he's still up to the same old tricks.

Why speak your mind tactfully when you can call everyone else bad at their jobs and get more buzz as a result?
What has this guy done for anyone lately? I get that he might have made something good decades ago, but why does that mean his advice is relevant now? The entire landscape is different now.

Look at someone like Ed McMillen if you want to learn about current game design. I get the feeling that Garriott hasn't even PLAYED a video game in ages.
In the article, he hints at it with his discussion of acceptance, but more directly there have been reports of people dealing better with chronic pain through meditation.

Apparently, it comes down to the same thing: your attitude and emotional response to pain are extremely important.
SatoshiDice: A Clever DDoS against Bitcoin
I still get spam in my gmail inbox, nowhere near as much as I do to my spam folder but it's still there.

Most of it seems to be of the form "Hi, this is Natalia from the dating site. I loved your photo and would want to speak with you, please reply soon! xxx" rather than "buy v1agr4 4 big dikk http://10.23.133.21/m4dsexcockpillz, so I guess harder to filter.

The more annoying thing with gmail is that most of my inbox is legit mail that was never intended for me. Since the gmail namespace is so cluttered there are a few people who have almost identical email addresses to me; so I get their mail in error often.

Also google seem to have merged my account with someone elses, so I get notifications about stuff that is definitely not mine.
Wow. This is incredibly well done.

Getting out of previous mode wasn't immediately apparent. Perhaps more of a tab on the hidden tray?
I'm confused that this post received so much attention and this (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5390897) received almost none.

Wade's lightweight process didn't add the bullshit layers of Scrum's painful "retrospectives" and standups. Scott's approach may be "Scrum lite" but it still isn't helpful or productive. Standups are painful and often about as effective as asking your kids how their day at school went. Retrospectives are practically like water-boarding your entire team once a week.

Didn't get everything you planned done this week? Welcome to the real world, get used to it and figure out how to get the most important things delivered instead. Teams need ownership and accountability not babysitting and handholding.
Someone else had a similar idea - http://www.nametagup.com/ - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5238130

I like the concept but it has to be easy for the user and rather than a monthly fee - focus on a 1 or 5% commission on sales. This way you capture people uploading 100+ domains and trying to get a sale.

Another concept in this space that I like is http://stylate.com/ who finds domains -creates logos and then offers them up for $250 flat. So rather than waste time with name generate - u can do that for $250 and always find something better later.
4chan Founder Chris “moot” Poole Opens Up About His New App DrawQuest
Seems like a nice idea. I'd consider that in the future.
Co-founder here. My brother and I quit our jobs 7 months ago, and have been working on this day and night off of our savings since then.

The CSS Playground is a preview of our CSS styling tools, and we'll be adding some of our other components (layout, adding new elements, code export) soon. Currently, it only works in Chrome, but we're working hard to add Firefox support.
It would be really great if there was a well documented example application similar to Discourse's topic list, that had a: a search term populate (populate not filter) the topic list and the ability sort the topics by clicking on the column headers.

I would build it myself, but I personally haven't been able to become proficient enough with Ember (in the admittedly limited amount of time I have tried mastering it) to do so.
> I have a feeling that most spam doesn't pay off for the person selling, but only pays off for whichever marketing company they hired to send the spam.

If that's true and anybody has data to back it up, maybe publicizing it would be a worthwhile spam-combating measure.
Both of our apps did not work anymore after the update.

Does

Renamed Collection's "update" to set, for parallelism with the similar model.set(), and contrast with reset. It's now the default updating mechanism after a fetch. If you'd like to continue using "reset", pass {reset: true}.

mean that now collections don't fire the 'reset' event anymore? Should we use collection.on('set', ...) instead? Because I think there are a lot of apps in the wild relying on the collection.on('reset', ...) syntax out there as this is seen in most of the tutorials.
I'd look into texlive.js. Thanks for sharing.
the attackers broke into the update servers of a popular antivirus software, which was used on employees' PCs.

I'm convinced that Ahnlab's virus scanner software is itself a form of spyware. Wouldn't surprise me at all if it has been used as an attack vector.

It wouldn't be per site fwiw, you could list an unlimited amount of domains for 7.99$/mo; consensus seems to be that a percentage is the better way to go though.
Many congrats and thanks to Jeremy and the other contributors. Backbone's opinion-less approach has been so great for our startup, even if it took me a solid 3 months before I really understood why it was so great. Seriously, coming from working on super-opinionated backend frameworks meant a lot of unlearning when I started using Backbone in October of 2011. Keep up the awesome work!
Functional programming doesn't have to mean deep recursion-- it's not like you can't use functions and loops in the same code.
Super awesome and very well done, just played with this for a couple minutes..love how you can choose the different platforms on the left and side and when you click on an element you can edit everything on the right hand side. How do you plan on monetizing this?
Not quite -- the default has changed. It means you should call:

collection.fetch({reset: true})

... and everything should continue to work as it did before. That said, this isn't the best forum for debugging help -- you'll probably have faster responses asking on IRC.
I doubt very much that the USPTO is getting kickbacks to pass patents through. As I understand it, "number of patents granted" is the metric they use for success, which puts a lot of pressure on the patent examiners at the bottom rung to do very basic research before pushing things through.

Basically, there is no incentive for them to do a diligent job, so they don't.
Yeah, I've only had this happen a couple times, and it does make you trust your spam system less.

That being said, it's seems to be getting better as more companies embrace SPF.
Isn't all of this just blown out of proportion? Why not focus on how to help improve ember.js than one person's response? Even if that person contributes to the documentation and to the project. Get over it already.

>Microsoft only licensed an OS, much like Digital Research licensed CP/M, to every computer manufacturer that wanted to distribute it

You say "only" as if the OS weren't a critical part of running a computer and that Microsoft specially included a clause in their agreement with IBM to be able to license to other manufacturers.

>Their advantage was that PC-DOS was bundled with every PC and that was enough to create critical mass.

You say as if that was a chance happening and not a deliberate and very insightful strategy to acquire that advantage compared to, say Apple. Just like how Google made Android free and open to counter Apple.

>I had an Apple II clone (yes, 1977 technology) and never had to set jumpers on an expansion board until I moved to a PC clone in the late 80's.

That's a nice comparison. If Apple had won instead of Microsoft, computer uptake would've been hampered by higher prices because of the lack of commoditization, having only a single vendor that's known to charge exorbitant margins. If you think Apple computers were expensive, imagine what their prices would've been without competition from PCs.

I'd take much cheaper prices and mutiple PC vendors that encouraged PC adoption in the third world over not having to set a few jumpers. Not to mention that Linux was first developed on x86 machines.
Spam isn't really an issue for me. I simply don't see it in Gmail.

A bigger annoyance is constant newsletters/emails sent from companies whom I might have transacted with long ago in the past. I have to take time to unsubscribe from all this stuff.
Interesting assumption there that he is buying her something. Agreeing as a married couple whether to spend money on something doesn't indicate that it is his or her money, the discussion implies that money is shared. For all you know if could be all her money in terms of income.

Of course if she wants it, it's useless.
A reasonable assumption, yes, given that it's in Samsung's code.

ok thanks for clarification. and for backbone in general ;)
Everything seems to come back to that good ol' fashioned advice:

"Do what you love and the money will follow"

It's pretty cliche, but the point is that you need to actually enjoy what you're doing and worry less about the money (unless you're in love with money, in which case go get a job on Wall Street). Sure, the chance to cash out big is a huge plus, but as Mark pointed out unless you're a founder it's very unlikely.

This is most likely a contributing factor to the talent crunch in the Bay Area. No one wants to take the chance on being the #1 or #2 engineering employee since the odds are weighed heavily against you. I imagine most sane people would look at it like this:

C-level / Founder: Risky, less salary now but larger option grants. Lots of hours.

Early employee: Riskiest. Less salary and less options. More hours.

Later employee: Least risky. Salary approaching market rate. No significant options. Hours that approach a normal work week (~40).
Should anyone doubt it, wycats & the ember team certainly do care a great deal about their users. The Ember team and Backbone team have differing philosophies about client side development, but wycats, tomdale and the rest of the crew are smart guys trying to do the right thing.
