Can you provide more detail? Here or firepad@firebase.com or as a github issue? From the screenshot it's not immediately obvious to me what went wrong.

People are certainly allowed to write over each other (e.g click in the middle of your sentence and write something). If that's not what happened, let me know
This looks like a nice service, but I don't get this idea of programmers suggesting the salary. Companies should make an offer based on their business needs and the profile of the prospect. Then, it's up to the prospect to accept or reject the offer.

The power balance is already pretty heavily in the favour of employers. This just perpetuates the status quo of treating programmers as interchangeable commodities which come with fixed price labels.
Yeah, do you know how awful a t1.micro is? It's a joke. I've never seen steal% that high before. There must be thousands on a single machine.

Although if you want to be pedantic, let's say "actually useful, potentially-production barrier to entry". There. Fixed.
I'm really curious about Arch. What gap in the market does it fill? What advantages does it have over Debian or Ubuntu? It's certainly mentioned a lot on HN...
Fuck. That.

Here, here's the specs for that pile of offal:

It's a shitty, bad, bloated, slow, rubbish XML format. It has accumulated so much garbage in the name of interop that it is overkill for >95% of applications, and parsing/generating it is really annoying. It's a solution in search of a problem.
I'm not sure what the extent of the "real-world driving data extracted from the on-board computer of a commuter's automobile" is but I think it would be much more interesting challenge develop something around "bad" driving.

Identify habitual hard/late braking, lane drifting or swerving (used to mean someone was drunk, now it means they're texting), sudden/excessive lane changes, lack of signaling or driving at speeds significantly below the posted limits in the absence of congestion.

These things are all quite dangerous, but generally unchecked.

"AT&T’s expanded fiber plans in Austin anticipate it will be granted the same terms and conditions as Google on issues such as geographic scope of offerings, rights of way, permitting, state licenses and any investment incentives."

Did Google do the political work here and leave the door open for competition?

Don't forget AT&T.
Something that's been discussed in a few mailing lists/blog entries I've seen lately are women who are really put-off by the phrase "guys" to refer to a mass of people. For me, the word is synonymous with "all" rather than "male" specifically, and I don't consider it to be offensive in the least. Now I'm all paranoid about all the times I've - as a female myself - walked up to a group of girls saying, "Hey guys!"

I'd be interested in others' thoughts on this.
Yes, sometimes it means people who have both sets of organs. Or people who take hormones but do not want surgery. Or a bunch of other stuff.

> Who decides if I'm a woman?

> A spat between feminist Suzanne Moore and transgender rights activists played out on social networking sites, and then hit the headlines when journalist Julie Burchill joined in too.

> Jo Fidgen explores the underlying ideas which cause so much tension between radical feminists and transgender campaigners, and discovers why recent changes in the law and advances in science are fuelling debate.

Totally agree. Even worse is when a company promotes a certain set of values on their blog and elsewhere but then fails to actually be what they "preach" :|
California's base sales tax is 7.25%, but CA's municipalities can bring that up to 9.25%. I believe ~8.5% is the average for the Bay Area.
Probably. It happens. Apologies for not connecting on the thought.
Have an upvote.

One setting I find invaluable is to use Paste and Indent for ⌘V instead of the standard Paste. This adjusts your indentation to automatically match the context it's pasted in.

To do this, put the following in your Key Bindings - User file:

[
{ "keys": ["super+v"], "command": "paste_and_indent" },
{ "keys": ["super+shift+v"], "command": "paste" }
]
Yes, unfortunately Just Landed is only officially supported in the US & Canada for now. The limitation stems from getting good enough global flight data (surprisingly difficult & expensive). The app actually works reasonably well in other countries (I used it in Turkey last summer) but given the known gaps in the flight data coverage for flights landing outside North America, I don't feel comfortable selling it in other countries (yet).
There aren't a whole lot of other options yet. https://community.qualys.com/blogs/securitylabs/2013/03/19/r...

You can enable TLS 1.2 ciphers, but there is a large percentage of clients unable to use them, so the fallback is RC4.

> At the moment, the attack is not yet practical because it requires access to millions and possibly billions of copies of the same data encrypted using different keys

So we have some time.
Great - Austin households get two giga-bit networks competing to get first to their doorsteps and the rest of the country gets to watch in wonder.
I suspect this is exactly what Google wants. They don't want the burden of bringing high speed internet to everyone, but they do want everyone to have high speed access.
According to the article they had contact with Apple over this guideline, and successfully argued their service was satisfactorily different. They also claim they had a version accepted between that conversation and this takedown.
Actually the EMD update targeted EMD with low-quality backlinks to them. EMD that didn't have low-quality backlinks didn't seem to get hit. The goal of the update wasn't to penalize people with keywords in their domains.
Well, I use "you guys" all the time, and that's usually referring to a specific mostly-female group of people. I've mentioned this with them, they're fine with it.
Yeah, everyone has their own airport pickup estimation method. I guess after mine failed me enough times, I decided to solve it with computers ;)
The default colorscheme is indeed god awful. There's a nice Desert theme for it though http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=863
This is really old (2008), but still completely relevant. I'm glad I'm not the only one who is actually happy when someone checks my ID. (Don't get me started on how secure my ID actually is.)
Honestly I don't see this as a reaction to DigitalOcean. If you look at http://blog.linode.com/category/upgrades/ you can see that Linode has a history of passing on the value of faster/cheaper hardware over to their customers. It just seems to be part of their business model to continually upgrade their hardware/features as it becomes economically feasible to do so.
This is downright embarrassing economic analysis. I hope you're just joking.
>Did Google do the political work here and leave the door open for competition?

Incidentally, AT&T did a lot of similar political work for others years ago when they were starting their U-Verse rollout.

They lobbied in numerous states for video franchises to be granted on a state-wide basis, rather than having to go to each individual municipality and negotiate deals. That allowed them to basically steamroll into an area.

When AT&T did this, the laws were written such that the cable companies selling service in the same areas could tear up their contracts with the municipalities and go statewide as well.
Thanks for testing these. I'm glad HAProxy passes muster with regards to SSL as we're currently moving to 1.5-dev18 from apache SSL offloading.
Some Info In Googles Algo
When I get a notification via Google Plus app, driving me to their app because there's something that I've expressed interest in, is that "advertising, promotion, or direct marketing"? Or from a Facebook app? Or any game informing me it's my turn?

Yes, they drive app use, and perhaps even later revenues, but in a way that's in harmony with my intent when installing the app and expectations. It's like "you've got mail (that you requested)". You can squint and call it marketing, but then almost every notification that increases use of a profitable app is also marketing.
If tons of high school grads are taking already-scarce entry level developer jobs, it is unlikely that many people will be making $100,000 for it
If you increase the yellow light duration and red-green delay, won't the risk-taking drivers eventually adjust their behaviour to the same level of risk, by running the lights even later?
> Wow. That's a stupidly large amount of work, barfed out with seeming ignorance to the cost of implementation.

Actually, I implemented a lot of this on a private project in 2010-2011 that I never launched. There are a lot of other competitors trying to be "GitHub for Hardware"- but a lot of them fail to bother to implement git support. I think it's great that GitHub is moving in this direction.
So, when you say it's "fully client-side code" -- what that looks to me to mean is not that it's not talking to a server somewhere, but that it's talking to Firebase's servers rather than my servers. Is that correct?
On the contrary. AT&T has been laying political groundwork for ages. This is a PR hit piece intending to show they're competitive with Google's offerings, but in reality they're playing the reactionary. Google is scaring the shit out of them and they're trying to retain customers who might otherwise jump ship immediately by assuring them they'll get the exact same deal. That is almost certainly not the case, however.
Looks like Google's long-term plan is starting to unfold. Once everyone has super high-speed internet, Google OS can begin to thrive.
Auuugh! Jason is creepin' on me! Best Day Evarrrr!
Just Landed's times are actually quite accurate (especially for major carriers), but they differ from the times that the airlines some other sources publish for two important reasons:

- The airlines publish scheduled gate arrival times, whereas we show runway landing times and then factor time to the gate and time through the terminal when telling you when to leave.

- The airlines pad their times by 15-30 minutes depending on the route to allow them to be a little late and not get penalized for it.

Our times will almost always be earlier than the time printed in the itinerary or shown on the airline website. This is normal and intentional, and does not mean the data is wrong - in fact it's just giving a more accurate estimate of the actual landing time. I feel very comfortable making this statement as I have verified it in my own field testing, and I've also heard from thousands of happy customers who write to me to say how surprisingly accurate the app is in a real airport pickup scenario.
Thanks for that pointer. I'm surprise that highlighting new versions or existing features is prohibited. I've received quite a few such messages from major apps -- Zynga, Facebook, other leading games. Are they all being kicked out of the App Store?
> LOL you talk about such features as if they're simple add-ons! Each is a huuuuge commitment from dev to maintenance.

Nick, you and I have met, we've talked about this before. I'm really surprised that you think that I think they are simple add-ons. We've talked for hours about these things, how the heck could you get that impression from me!
After reading Outliers I think of 10000 hours as approximately five years of full-time work, which is a much easier quantity to think about.
WAO!! THIS IS AWESOME!
Props to @partlysean for the site design. :)
you are entitled to your opinion like blah blah ... what's make my opinion wrong and yours right ? yes legal gender is the question. If you tell me you are a woman but in fact your are legally a man , you are lying to me , period.

Are you this website owner ? so in the name of whom are you saying i should not hit the comment button ? who do you think you are ?
Bring a class to impoverished neighborhoods of Chicago where they just closed 50 public schools and the media will have a field day with your story.

So many wins here:
1. Win for the community
2. Win for the kids who participate
3. Win for Treehouse in the marketing department.
4. Win for society as a whole to have more critical thinkers in the world

But if you sell this company to DeVry or similar (because that's who's in trouble here, not 4 year universities), I'm going to be sorely disappointed.
March 24? I feel like customers should have been notified much more quickly than this. Although they claim passwords were "encrypted," giving the perpetrators over 2 weeks is giving them more than enough time to try and access accounts.
You also want to avoid scammers and fly by night operations that don't value your business other than to find cheap CPU and bandwidth. There is a set level of overhead for each new customer, and new customers are probably more likely to need additional support. The lower you go with pricing, the larger this portion of your costs eats into your profits.

There are $10 VPS solutions out there, but their poor reputations lends credence to the idea that $10 VPS solutions are not where the money is at.
I tend to delete all the shit photos up front. I perhaps end up with 10-15 a trip that get kept (60-90 Mb off my D3100 in jpeg fine).

Storage is cheap but ending up with so much noise you can't see the interesting bits is expensive on time, and that is finite.
Saw that tweet this morning!
So they're aiming for the suburbs (where they already have FTTN) before Google has a chance to roll out from the city. This is gonna be good. Microwaving my popcorn already.
It's still not BC as currency, though: the prices are in USD, and then get converted for you. That's probably a good thing from the short term user's viewpoint, as BC is as volatile as a very smelly thing right now. There are all sorts of traps for a long-term user, though.
Musicipal fiber also seems to be a great way to rile up the telcos. If Google won't wire your city, just do it yourselves. AT&T and Comcast will either compete or sue to prevent it.
I think that some ongoing discussion of the STEM gender gap and other difficult group introspection is useful and important and I hope we can navigate the line between being self-aware and beating a field of dead horses.

Anyway my interest in this now annual survey (and the short-lived sexual orientation survey and the hypothetical race survey) is more self-serving and not so much about how to solve a problem. I'm interested in a profile on HN, as a community, to help me decide how much attention to pay / weight to give to elements of certain discussions here. If we're just a straight white dude monoculture then I want to factor that into my thinking. Come to think of it, I'd be interested to learn about the overall gender / age / ethnicity / sexual orientation / religion / country of origin demographics of other groups that I sometimes pay attention to (like Interesting People) especially when the community has a voting role in discussion moderation (like HN or reddit).
Very inspirational and fascinating account that is probably worth a movie and a book on entrepreneurship. Also reminds me of the trademill quote by Will Smith http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doqS35FfcUE. One side note here is also the net risk Arram actually took. He is a single guy without dependents and health insurance to worry about. Without college degree and other specific skills he really had little to lose in terms of other lucrative job offers on hand, for example, compared to a Harvard PHD in CS with a wife and two children would have. That scenario ironically simplifies lot of complexities around for pursuing entrepreneurship.
I used Sublime for a while, then switched to Emacs for a while. I ended up switching back because, while I really liked Emacs, I didn't like being stuck in a terminal and I couldn't do effective pair programming.

The best bit about Emacs is the configuration, and I could give or take the awkward keybindings. Maybe if LightTable supported configuration with ClojureScript and offered a comprehensive API for it there'd be a more modern equivalent.
> Is there a payment dispute system for BitPay?

Almost certainly not, given that Bitcoin intentionally operates the same way cash transactions do. And BitPay specifically mentions that feature on their front page: "With Bitpay you can eliminate the risk of Fraud, Chargebacks, and Identity Theft from internet payments.".
But other whitespace does, so globally disabling whitespace in a diff isn't very helpful.
The Chromebook has 16GB of slow flash storage. It can do that because it has a very lightweight OS, and does little with the local storage. My Dell Vostro laptop, in comparison, has a magnetic drive coupled with a 32GB mSATA high-performance flash cache.

So my normal workstation laptop has a simple flash cache double the entire size of the main storage in the Chromebook.

SSDs remain expensive. They are a premium because they simply aren't worth it to many users. I'd love to have boundless, super-performance SSDs in every device but that isn't reasonable.
Well, Hetzner does not state it in their RIPE record (https://apps.db.ripe.net/search/query.html?searchtext=5.9.12...) that the email is NOT handled by Hetzner staff. In contrast, Manitu (another German hoster) explicitly states this: https://apps.db.ripe.net/search/query.html?searchtext=217.11...
That's correct - a passenger could use this service to send a timely reminder to their ride. This is doubly useful since, even if a passenger were to track the flight and determine the correct departure time (which the app does automatically), there is no easy way to send a message while on the flight.
It may be naive to think that AT&T will get the same rules. By all means, all firms should get the same rules, and may need to litigate.

But to assume that municipalities want a uniform set of rules for all comers would be without basis. Municipalities want to negotiate with vendors to extract concessions.

Laws can be written, without naming names, that apply only to individual firms. Maybe Austin will say that the new rules and incentives only apply to firms below a certain market share. Or to firms that don’t also operate mobile networks. Or firms that have, or don’t have, some geographical footprint. Or which employ a certain number of Texans, or Austinites. Etc.
Pitchbox is not just about optimising on salary only, which is important, but also on the developers' interests and career goals.

The developer retains all the control...for example the salary is only used by Pitchbox, not the employer, as one of our filters in the matching process. We ask companies for their compensation ceiling and developers for their compensation floor to make sure engineers aren't matched with companies that are not within the same range.

Every pitch a developer receives includes compensation information among other things.
I found ST2 a great tool for learning Vim actually. It has a Vim mode and although it's not a complete Vim emulation it gets most of the movement/editing right with key bindings.

I've learned a lot and I'm actually at a point where I feel the need to move on to Vim (due to the limitations of ST2's mimicry of Vim)

Not by itself necessarily, but Apple's adoption would be noteworthy and I'm certain would increase/uptick adoption.

My broader point is that I can easily foresee a time in the near future when Apple devices are cynically noted for what they don't have/do that other devices do - beautiful interfaces, fit-and-finish notwithstanding.
My problem with them is that they cause more accidents than they prevent [1]. There are a variety of reasons people might get to a controlled intersection where 'not stopping' has a higher likelihood of creating the best outcome. (my favorite and a common occurrence is being tailgated by someone not paying attention). RLCs mean there is always a problem with not stopping, and so if you're going to be ticketed anyway, you might as well let the guy behind you ram you so that you don't end up with a point on your driving record. (not a good choice in my opinion)

[1] "Further, for every 100 definite injuries
from angle crashes in the before-camera period, 1.28
was fatal, which increased to 1.71 in the after-camera
period, a 33.6% increase. Therefore, increased, and
not decreased, fatalities were associated with the use
of RLCs in this study." -- http://health.usf.edu/NR/rdonlyres/2511FA2D-6BC2-4091-9FD5-D...

It should also be noted that they are at the legal minimum. They're not 'flying under the radar'.
It's always nice to see a (semi-)free market driving competition and innovation.
On my most recent purchase I chose a laptop with a magnetic disk (but with a flash cache) because practically the extra cost and reduced storage didn't benefit me. And I'm an educated consumer, and it has nothing to do with "e-peens". So what now?

i'm not offended by AppGratis' business model but i am offended by the notion that Apple are in the wrong for cracking down on paid installs. AppGratis can do whatever they want but they shouldn't expect Apple's support
To supplement your point, having the programmer suggest the salary also creates problems in that Pitchbox is separated from specific geographic regions. The salary I want for the exact same job varies greatly depending on where it is. My number for San Francisco would price me right out of Austin, for example.
This is still 'SEO 1.0' stuff. If you have something to sell, i.e. an e-commerce site, or if you have a recipe, or if you have a large collection of flora and fauna, the quickest win is to use semantic markup - 'SEO 2.0'. Let The Search Engine (Google) know what is description, title, price, currency, size, weight and so on with semantic markup tags and you are presenting The Search Engine with information that can be made sense of. Otherwise it is just throwing more needles in the haystack.
