I am building an app ecosytem around people waiting in airports either for flights or to be picked up.

I am advertising directly to the people who have downtime between flights, and developing a community around the developers to create apps that are geared and focused on this high-value target market.

We have location based coupons that know, by GPS, when you arrive at any airport in 36 countries. When you land - you are greeted by offers from any retailer in the market, and are given the option to book travel (uber/taxi/shuttle/limo) from the airport to a nearby hotel - we sell the hotel booking as well and make a cut on the room.

We also offer social games for those stuck in airports waiting. Play with people at your gate, on your flight, from your hometown airport or any other place! Again the ads are all from retailers directly around you!

Finally, we even offer a travellers hookup service, so if you want to look for lay-over travelers to hook up with, you can sign-up and hook up. (this product is called 'Laid-Overs' and is our most popular app!

We have an API that people can connect to also!
I don't think it's very relevant, but it was going to show up and I was hoping to dismiss the notion preemptively. Look at this quagmire you've started!

I don't think you've actually implemented the protocol. Like most of the other examples I've looked at, you explicitly check every login attempt with the hard-coded mozilla verifier. This breaks two of the selling features of browserid:

1) Your identity provider doesn't know where/when you login because the relying party (the website) is supposed to cache the identity providers public key.

2) When identity providers start implementing browserid, it's not going to make any difference because you're not checking back with the identity providers website, as encoded in the assertion.

What you've implemented here is more like Microsoft Passport - a single point of failure through which all logins flow.

So, as a bootstrap mechanism the Persona service fails, because assuming people jump on the browserid bandwagon, we'll still be stuck using Persona because all the websites have implemented the protocol wrong (as in this case).
I have a 512GB SSD, a 128GB SSD, and a 128GB mSATA all in the same laptop - and I use all of them. With Steam, documents, code, VMs, and so on, I find a way to fill it up.

For most people storing media, a large (~3TB) spinner is ideal, paired with a 256GB or 512GB SSD. But for some people, especially in the content creation business, a 960GB SSD is quite alluring.

Ah, this is for 3D printers, no wonder it got popular enough for GitHub to add support for visualizing it. Thanks!
Linode continues to win.
Good call, monospace fonts (Consolas, Lucida Console) should have been better.

I didn't realize how much of a sausage fest this site really is. It's amazing how much intellectual talent we're missing out on because it seems tech scares away women.

I'd actually be curious to see what kind of sexual orientation distribution there is also. I wonder if it'd fall in line with the general population.

(Edit: Not sure why this poll has been killed. It was created as a serious poll to satisfy my curiosity, not as backlash! It was actually yielding some really interesting information, in particular the higher proportion of non-straight people than is normal in the general population.)

Why is this relevant? Sure, his comment might sound a bit creepy to the wrong ears, but stating he is an Indian male is pointless, we shouldn't be judging him by either factor.

Or maybe I'm misunderstanding you and codegeek's reply is correct.

A response to Programmer Interrupted
I use Transip.eu. You can buy the cheap plan and upgrade only disk space afterwards. I'm on my phone, so can't check the exact prices now though.
Would it increase security to include the user-agent, or part of the user-agent, in the HMAC secret? So the secret was "abc123Mozilla[etc]", that would then presumably require identical browsers to work, at the expense of logging everyone out every time their browser updates. Or include all, or part of the IP address to restrict the network.
It's uncharacteristic of Apple to compete on individual specs, but I think they've got to put something special into this release. Maybe this new sapphire glass for the display, or NFC, or an even beefier chip / battery life. Something. Or all of the above.

I totally get what Marco is saying: it's not just the tech press, it's Wall Street, it's the public. There's a general feeling out there that Apple is done pulling rabbits out of the hat and it's not just from the echo chamber. I don't think this portends their decline, but Android, Samsung, et al., have really been pushing the envelope. The fact that a 4S is still like $100 under subsidized contract feels almost criminal when you compare it on specs to other Android phones that are available for the same deal.
That's a good explanation, I guess I was thinking more broadly about these kind of small problems (but which are slightly larger than airport pickup), not just about Just Landed.
binary? really?

There are other answers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender

Edit: Thanks for adding other.
Yea but at&t is a greedy money grubbing bastard corporation. They will charge a higher price or cap it. Lets just say they'll find some way to screw the consumer because that is what they do best. At&t is evil incarnate.

The POCT-1A data protocol includes six possible values for "gender".
The error here is the blob is too big, so GitHub isn't serving it. If you try to view the raw blob, you'll hit the issue: https://raw.github.com/tibbon/my-3d-models/master/me-in-3d.s...

OK, here's the first program on the list provided by trailfox:

http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u32q/program.php?tes...

Note that:

1) It only ever uses one core, because

2) It isn't configured with GOMAXPROCS, which therefore defaults to 1.

So, sure, they have an N-core machine, but they're only allowing go to access 1 core.
On the other hand, do I get a price break if I contribute to the GitHub project? What if I am a company?
Poll: Generalist or Specialist?
I couldn't find a similar poll so I created it. Which option do you think fits you better?
I suspect it is a misinterpretation of my remark.

These are not the droids you are looking for. Move along. No need to argue about a stray misunderstanding. ;-)
meh. That's what backups are for? Have you ever restored from time machine? In the 5 years I've lost 3 or 4 mechanical drives in my MBP's and only lost the amount of time it took to buy a new HD and restore.

I'm much happier with the day-to-day SSD speeds and I figure if the drive lasts a year or so I'm still on par with my usual HD burn out rate.
Oh, that might do it. I didn't realize how big of files the Lynx creates...
I think Mz was referring to "you" as in anyone and not specifically me.
Looks like that thread is too old to comment on?

Anyways, I think my username makes my gender fairly obvious. :-)
Actually, the Cable companies selectively pushed out much faster speeds in markets where FIOS was being rolled out, to suck the oxygen out of the water in those places.
No I haven't had a problem with getting an additional address in the past except for one case where I decided to get the process started before completing the purchase on GoDaddy. I just take the SNI route these days just not to be bothered. Their support responds quickly but this is almost akin to having to wait for a hosting company to setup your vps. I'm probably just spoiled by the instantaneity of everything else.
I don't disagree with your frustration at all, but there are some actual reasons the problem exists. Some of them are:

* A public bug tracker is effectively a forum that must be policed for spam and other nonsense.

* You are assuming too much about internal bug trackers. Some companies really don't have them, and some that do have them, make poor use of them. These aren't necessarily clueless, broken companies, either, some of them work very efficiently with ad-hoc processes that simply don't include anything you'd recognize as a bug tracker. (Obviously these are small companies.)

* About "linking" an internal and public bug tracker: Finicky, error prone, administrative time sink.

* General administrative overhead even for internal bug trackers can be high. I know one company for which two full-time positions carry job descriptions that amount to "bugzilla admin". They make some of the best use of Bugzilla I've ever seen, but it costs a lot of time and money.
This is what I'm doing to put food on the table until one of my business projects gets rolling.

Dipping your toe in the water and exclaiming how it's so awful isn't constructive and just unnerves other people.
Poll: Sexual orientation
There have been a few polls here to see what kind of gender distribution there is, the ongoing one here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5520342 but I'm curious to see whether our sexual orientations fall in line with the general population, or are somehow skewed.

Edit: This is a serious poll and something I'm very curious about. It wasn't created as backlash to the gender poll!

Also, I'm not sure why it's been killed.

Not a single mention of flotr2 in this thread? I'm not sure if I should be mortified or impressed.

It's free, and I don't see many features added that flotr2 doesn't have.

It would be better to be more specific in a post like this. Some people are generalists with respect to some things but specialists in others.
>I really think it's just an exposure issue -- people are used to web, and fields like the life sciences or hardware seem mysterious and complex. How do those become opened up?

I think that's a really interesting question, but the way the rest of the post is/was written is going to work against it being considered.

I expect you'd have been better off writing something up on the idea in its own context and submitting it on its own.

Off the top of my head, I think we're already seeing hardware being "opened up" through things like Arduino, 3D printing and the ease of making global connections on sites like Alibaba. I can't really speak to life science, but I'm generally inclined to think that more (any?) exposure in primary education would help.

Does anyone know when Intel is going to come up with a 20nm, ~1TB successor to the 520? I've gotta buy more capacity soon, but i'd feel silly filling up all my bays with older 480GB drives a week before they come out.
> Getting contract work online should be a last resort.

I obviously totally misunderstood this initial statement of yours somehow.

For what it's worth I just wanted to share my experiences. It's absolutely possible that I'm the only person who saw these problems and everybody else is having a positively marvelous time - that's why it's called anecdotal evidence. If that's true: sorry, I didn't want to give the wrong impression.
Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't that slightly mis-representative? 28 MB is just the CD size the total size is likely much larger because it downloads much of the distribution from the servers.
What if I told you that I find the term sausage fest offensive and it makes me feel unwelcome in this community?
Uverse has been solid for me. I've had them for 4 years now and they've had very limited downtime (a lot less then I had with TimeWarner). I'll happily move to Google Fiber, but Uverse has treated me just fine. While I wish their upload speeds were faster, but I haven't really had any options that were faster.

What issues have you had with them exactly?
Yes.

English is so limited. We need more forms of "you." I might need to revive my old habit of using the Southern "y'all" online to make things like that clearer.
One time I was really annoyed at how the door to my house creaked when it was opening and closing. It was so loud sometimes that other people would comment on it. I spent nearly half a day oiling the hinges, eventually removing them altogether, and then installing new ones. The world is worse off for me having wasted my precious time when I could have spent that half day learning about biology and chemistry and subsequently pursuing a cure for cancer.
"Hermaphrodite" isn't a gender.

That sounds exactly like direct advertising, promotion or direct marketing. Mentioning you have a new feature isn't any of those things. Advertising a daily offer? That's definitely one or all of them,
That, fine control over when my linode will go down and let the early adopters catch any quirks (Linode doesn't half ass stuff, but I have no hurry).
For the most part, yes, though it depends on your definition of "drive".

If you base your definition of "drive" as "being able to do the most basic of tasks", then sure, most everyone can drive a car. However, if you're an auto enthusiast, then to you being able to "drive" takes on a whole new definition; can you J-turn? How about drift? Can you jumpstart a car with a dead battery by push-starting? Can you correct your trajectory after losing control? To the hardcore drivers, these are the types of skills that will prove whether or not you can really "drive".
In the previous thread that "he" linked to "he" states that "he" is actually female. I'm not sure why the gender of this person makes any difference though.
Cool work! I'll give it a try.
LOL you talk about such features as if they're simple add-ons! Each is a huuuuge commitment from dev to maintenance. But yea, it'd be nice.

GrabCAD is about as close to this as you get as far as implementing solid CAD stuff.
I think its important to remember that "tech" doesn't scare away women per se. People scare away women.

And I doubt its a strict sexism problem, either. My engineer friends are the most negative group of friends I have. By miles.

Criticism is great, but the negative attitudes I see among them (and here, and Reddit) upset the hell out of me, and I wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't as-big of a problem.
Great, I'm definitely going to integrate it into a yet another PHP MVC framework I will start tomorrow. Oh wait, its commercial?
Yeah, sorry. I edited my remark to hopefully more accurately reflect that it is closed but you can still comment here.

Thanks for chiming in.
A lot of those consumers are buying $400 or $500 laptops. An SSD would probably add $100 directly to the bottom line, unfortunately.

There's a 40% discount for (undergraduate) students, making the price $47. I bought it when it was in Public Preview in '07, and love it.

The ability to sync with the app on my iPad mini is really nice, as it means that I always have immediate access to any paper I might want to refer to in conversation, regardless of whether I have an Internet connection.
I believe that is down to 15 minutes now.
Blake's 7: Classic BBC sci-fi to return on Syfy channel
So, the disappointment is merely a naming problem that Apple baked for itself by starting/sticking to a numbering scheme when most device makers have an "internal" code and then there's the name that each carrier tacks on. The only time you get iterations is when a device "hits" (Razor, Galaxy, One, etc.)

The disappointments surely aren't because, spec-by-spec and material ounce-per-ounce, bloggers and the public look at the value proposition and shrug about the AAPL premium. The former certainly would also never try to clickbait fanboys to their ad-laden pages to profusely pound the Book of Jobs upon heretics.
I think buying a few raspberries pi is competitive for a few projects over the course of a year.
With a ratio of nearly 20:1, I don't even know that you can say "it seems" that women are scared away anymore.
For mechanical stuff, it's in a B-Rep model such as STEP or IGES which can be exported from SolidWorks, etc.
I think it's fine so long as everyone agrees, or as long as people don't strip the whitespace in the same commit as their actual changes.

Half the time the pointless whitespace is introduced by an editor that auto-indents for you.
Honestly, better waste some time on doing mundane practice, maybe earning some money along the way, than to fail big, ambitious, and spectacularily, with an idea that was brilliant but wasn't pulled off properly due to lack of experience.I see how this is a small easy problem, but hell, it's practice, and if it works, it's funds for the next big thing that comes into their minds.
"The default website, icon, and theme are ugly to say the least" I can't be the only one who completely, utterly disagrees with this? I absolutely love the default theme and I think the icon looks great (much better than the alternative provided). That being said, I don't want to start a whole pointless discussion about taste here, it just kind of bothered me to read something like that in a blog post that talks about setting up a text editor.
Why would you not want to be considered a woman in engineering if you actually are one?

As a female in Computer Science I am legitimately curious.
GNU userland is of poor quality
One of Google's main goals in fiber was to pressure other providers to do better by their customers so this is a win by Google's measure. I'd be willing to wager that Fiber would provide better service, too, because Google is likely focusing more on their gigabit internet service than AT&T as it's new to the space.
I was looking at Sublime Text for Go, and apparently the autocomplete box cannot be expanded so it is unable to display function arguments.

Probably an issue for other languages as well.
Thinking about it now, I'd say south Austin more than east.

Check out the population density map of austin (PDF): http://www.austinchamber.com/do-business/files/maps/PopDensi...

If I were google, I would want to deploy to the more dense places (that could afford the service).

South Austin seems to be the more "hip" place to live, and I think people in their 20-35 age range would be more likely to want to jump on Google Fiber. I could be totally wrong, but it's just a guess.
You can copy/paste on android. Press and hold on the text, then use the pointer boxes to adjust the area you want to copy, then stare at the incomprehensible icons and guess which one means copy (why can't they just use words?)

That article you linked demonstrates the opposite of what you claimed. It's talking about building restrictions in the sprawl itself and, in the Lucas case, in the middle of a rural area.
I've never used them -- but my friends constantly complain of disconnects, slow speeds, shotty tech support, high rates, etc. While I'm sure these types of problems are often localized, I've heard the same complaints from geographically diverse friends.

My only problem is that they're a monopoly slowly reconstituting itself like the T-1000 from Terminator[1].

I'd love it if they were stored in dotfiles (something I like about Textmate 2), but at least all your config gets stored in a nice User package.
>How is the branch name going to give you sufficient information on that anyway?

Well, in my workflow it will give me the issue number, since branches in my repo all look like '530-issue-description'. I suppose that's because we used to work with mercurial, where that is actually meaningful and helpful.

>In this use-case, you're probably viewing some form of "git log" anyway, so it's not hard to turn on the option that shows the tree view, which should make it readily obvious

The tree view will still interleave master commits with all the other commits, and if there's a lot of parallel branches and significant distance between master commits it's easy to get lost.

Tracking your single 'pipe' character down a couple pages and not losing which one you're watching... Not what I call good UI.

Or plain video capture for pro / pro-consumer.

The local cable access station in Portland, Oregon[3] uses a mix of Aja Ki Pro [2] and Cinedecks[1]. The Cinedecks use SSDs like cartridges, and will record 1080p 4:4:4 ProRes.

The Cinedecks are real nice to be able to use a couple of 512GB SSDs like a cartridge and pop them in and out to record anything from a City Council / School Board meeting or for public use of recording a 3 camera shoot of a live performance.

The Ajas not so much since they use a proprietary shaped cartridge which has SATA connector to dock into the unit. They also have a FW800 connector to off-load data off the drive when undocked from the Aja recorders. I believe you can swap the drives in the plastic housing, but it's not as slick as just using a bare SSD.

As a general rule smart people tend to be less happy.

Idealists (as many in STEM are) who are smart is a deadly combination. You know just how terrible the world you live in is, and no matter how hard you work you keep hearing more bad news.

Sometimes I wish my brain had an off button so I can stop reading about North Korea (or remembering how "behind" I am from my peers) and instead go watch Celebrity Big Brother or whatever is showing today.
