Rebuttal: why not use tags to identify your major revisions and feature work? This way your bisect is rooted on feature releases or versions, rather than relying on git log --since.

It appears the time aspect is the primary argument presented, and I wouldn't consider using a workflow that didn't tag revisions, so I don't consider that an issue.
I don't work in Redmond but I lived there for a long time and I still end up there from time to time via car or bike.

The bus system in the Seattle Metro area is not amazing but but you pick where you live knowing this, you shouldn't have a problem. Being near a main transit line or close to a transit center can get you to Bellevue and Seattle fairly easily (might take an hour for the latter).

If you're up for it, I'd really recommend getting a bike. You can ride about half the time during the spring/fall and all days in the summer. Redmond has a lot of bike-friendly areas but, on the Eastside (across the lake from Seattle, Redmond is considered in this area) the drivers are much less bike friendly and cautious so be careful.

In general, the area you're moving to is pretty car-centric but you can definitely make do and you'll be very glad you did on the nice days!

Feel free to contact me if you have more questions.

I compare web browsers to liquid fueled rockets. Sure, they still blow up, but much less than when they were a relatively new technology. So much less in fact that we're willing to put people on them on a near-regular basis.
They're also being threatened with a class action lawsuit for doing what the OP described:

I'm not sure the shenanigans won't come back to haunt them. Less trendy apps have been booted from Apple's App Store for a lot less.
> If the work is truly orphaned then no one will come after you.

Of course. But it's almost impossible to know that for sure. The point of orphan works legislation is it lets people use works that they're pretty damned sure are orphaned (and which the licensing body agrees) because they've done a diligent search, in the confidence that they can't be sued for copyright infringement if the author pops up later. (Though they may be asked to stop using the work, depends on how the regs end up being written).

Point is: copyright infringement is strict liability. This sort of legislation is the closest we're going to get to a true 'due diligence' defence.

> Just use any photograph you want. When asked, claim you did a diligent search and nothing came up.

Er, and then be successfully sued by the copyright holder for using the work without a licence? The law provides for the SoS to (by regulations) create licensing bodies, it doesn't let people give themselves licences.

There's a spring drizzle, and then there's a hurricanes, both of which you can call "rain." One makes flowers come up, the other crushes and rips the flowers out of the ground. So. "Stress" is not a good conversational word for what happens when you go from laying in bed to standing up. But it is the technical term.

I loved working, too. I'd work when I was moderately ill. I'd work long hours. I was enjoying it… mostly. That is no protection.

If I'd dropped certain responsibilities, rested when I was sick, worked fewer days, and cared less [1], I probably wouldn't have ever gotten this bad.

That's about all I got for you. I don't know all that much about that stage of the syndrome because I never had any tests at the time. I would get sick, take some of the time off, then get right back to it. Nobody was forcing me. When not sick, I would need to take several days off in a row to relax and then I'd find myself more creative again. I guess that was a sign.

If you can get the test for cheap, why not? But it'll only tell you trends compared to yourself, unless you are either very high or low. There's info on the Stop the Thyroid Madness site about reliable labs.

[1] (By "cared less" I don't mean "stopped caring about my work/life" but rather "stopped caring about stupid shit" which, believe it or not, is most of it. But that's not something you can understand until you've experienced it. It's great to know just how little what I do matters. Very freeing and not at all demotivating.)
Why is this posted to Hacker News? It didn't seem at all related to programming or starting a business
> I used to be a slave to my startups. If I wasn't working, I had a perpetual feeling of guilt that I should be working. That lead to many all-nighters and eventually landed me in the hospital last year after fainting twice from fever and dehydration.

This is such a common story. I start work at 9 and stop at 6. That's it, no more, unless there's something urgent. It's amazing how much you can get done in those 9 hours if you concentrate.
I'm just killing time waiting for God to do something.

God says...

5:15 But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great
multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their
infirmities.

5:16 And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.

5:17 And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that
there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were
come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the
power of the Lord was present to heal them.

5:18 And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a
palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before
him.

5:19 And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in
because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him
down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus.

Type inference like in ML languages can provide a similar development experience with the added benefit of performance and tooling.

Additionally when doing big projects where the team does not care for unit testing, dynamic typing can turn out to be a big problem.

Having said this, it has its places, I do use dynamic languages a lot, just not in big enterprise projects.

Indeed, as would I. But what makes a successful social engineering attack (or scam, in general) is giving people what they want before they have an opportunity to ask questions. While this exact attack wouldn't work on me now, it might have when I was looking to graduate from university. My desire for an industry job (and a prestigious one at that) might have clouded my typical judgment. So, hiding whois information can be immediately justified by "well, they are a security company", with any doubts expelled. Grifters and illusionists work in much the same way; the plot is full of holes, but over and over people see what they want to see.
Digg Reader: We’re Still Learning
Right, I was hoping someone more familiar with the debate would offer the other side of it.

Intuitively, qualia is an attempt to get to the fundamental nature of experience. But its endless divisibility seems to indicate that there is no such animal. Does the debate exist simply because some can't grasp the notion of a concept without underlying fundamentals? Or am I missing something?
Don't let users sign in with e-mail. Just let them use their facebook account.

That's the best way to do it. Try to sell it as a feature, something like:

"Aren't you tired of filling forms with your data over and over again? We are too! Use your facebook account."
OP is using Android where you either have to accept all the permissions the app requests as part of installing it, or not install it at all.
This comment is a great example of how people are so quick to rush to judgement with emotional reactions. Let's look at the facts:

1. Path was fined, not for anything involving address books, but for allowing 12 year olds to sign up for the service.

2. Yes... it is proof that Path uploads your phone book. Of course, they ask you. The OS won't even give you access to the phone book without prompting the user. So somewhere along the way, the user knowingly gave Path access to their contacts.

It would be rather trivial for a real reporter to do some research here. Does Path actually say "We're going to invite all your friends via SMS", even in fine print? It might be sleazy, but it would certainly change a lot. But instead, we're just going to sit here and speculate about things and irrationally talk about a fine that didn't have anything to do with this.
I agree with what you're saying and also sorry for butting in :P (I was a bit confused). Adria definitely doesn't deserve what is happening to her. I think the reason a lot of people lack sympathy is because her situation is like her being bullied for being a bully. Bullying is wrong no matter what (or who it's done to) and people need to remember that.
I am definitely looking into adding a voting system. For now, I wanted to keep the site as simple as possible.

What in the world do you mean by "endless divisibility"? In your previous post, you said that everyone may have a different experience of red, which is more like "endless variation."
> MD5 was never a good password hash. Neither is SHA1,256,etc. The reason is that they are crypto hashes optimized for speed.

That's strange to hear you say that, because I remember people having huge arguments in the 1990s about how they couldn't use MD5 because it was /so/ slow and how 3DES was the only way to go!

I swear people love to re-write history.

> This is a clear example of "Dont do your own crypto" because you dont know all the details.

That doesn't even make any sense. MD5 is a standard cryptographic function. If someone had used it they wouldn't be making their own crypto.

Hell, many of the standard libraries implemented MD5 when you asked them to protect a password by default. That's so far from rolling your own it isn't even logical to try and make the argument you're making.

Your entire post reads like someone who knows nothing about the history and is just spouting "OMG USE bcrypt IT IS THE BESTEST AND WILL BE SECURE FOREVER!"

bcrypt too will fall from grace and then you'll have someone making a post like yours saying "how could anyone use bcrypt, it is SOOO fast!"
Haha, yes! It's very important to feel you're in control, just like you want to feel like you're making a wise decision when you reach for the conveniently placed junk in the supermarket isles.

I get the feeling that either those in charge are hopelessly detached from society to see how privacy is perceived by the rest of us (like Zuckerberg) or there's little to no vetting when it comes to implementation decisions.
Simple math is all it takes to understand why this is pervasive. In the classmates.com example, they collected upwards of $75 million in revenue from this scheme, and only had to dish out $2.75 million for the settlement several years later. So for any newcomers, this type of bait is an attractive business proposition; the potential lawsuit years down the line can simply be attributed to cost of revenue. And you'll obviously only get sued if there's money to be won, which means the scheme was a success, so in other words, you want to get sued. The real problem is the judgments/settlements are an order of magnitude lower than they should be.
I had done that. Probably I have to restart the system to have Light Table understand the updated PATH.
Uhh, really?

I have hobbies and I'm a self employed barber. When the locals don't come to my garage I sometimes go to them. I can easily see me renting paintball gear, packing up a bathing suit, renting a surf board / longboard (I usually use my friend's since it's really his hobby, but if I go somewhere else in the world), renting a soccer ball, there are probably workshops that I can rent...somewhere, maybe, there's my old kindle fire to read, other places like bars, clubs, pool halls, bowling are all over the world, jet skii rentals, fortrack rentals, I only play videogames sometimes in friend houses so I can give that up. The problem is that boots and trail gear would have to be rented and I can see all of this renting stuff adding up. The simplified life is for rich people or people with hobbies that don't need a bike, or special gear.
Probably best not to just jump to conclusions until there is a response from Path or more evidence from users. I've been using Path since it launched with nothing like this ever happening. This sounds to me like some sort of unrelated scam. I didn't notice him say int he article but do the texts include a URL? If so where does that go? This seems like something that would be noticed by more than one or two guys if it was something Path was doing.
Absolutely none of your comment is true; it reflects an unexamined bias and a complete unfamiliarity with the depths of wikipedia, how wikipedia stands up to alternatives, and the nature of the shitty content on wikipedia. Your opinion is completely worthless and it's safe to say you're an uneducated ideologue.
Apple added this feature after the previous privacy gaffe from Path. Still though, there's a legitimate use case for asking for your contacts, and it is to help connect you with people you may know who are also on path. You also give them access to your photos to share things on Path, but there would be an uproar if they started uploading all of your photos to their servers. I'm not really seeing any good way to solve this at the OS level, it seems the only solution is for apps to be less shady.
Life When You're Outsourcing IT Isn't So Bad
I wonder if will it be possible to associate user defined clojurescript commands with arbitrary vim keybindings? That would be great! Also, I wonder if there will be support for user defined vim like operators and motions... Or, alternatively, if the plugin architecture will be low level enough to support a vim "emulation" plugin.

Also -- very, very exciting work overall -- visionary even. Kudos!

Android doesn't ask for user's permission before accessing the address book, is it?
Years ago, I was very interested in having the physical book to read, but too cheap to buy a new copy. Every once in a while I would check half.com and book shopping comparison sites looking for a cheap used copy. One day in December 2006, there was a rift in The Matrix and Barnes and Noble was selling the hard copy 2nd edition for ... $7.00 (new). I ordered two copies and as soon as they were physically in my hands, I tried to order more. Alas, the glitch had been fixed by then. Sometimes I wonder if there shouldn't be a general price scanning app that will alert on wild changes in the price of a popular book.
There were some articles a while back on why porting it to iOS was impossible/hard (loads of dependencies some of which are in a language knuth wrote) and I expect NaCl would be equally tough unless anyone has done a full C rewrite.
Anyone can register a .com, .net, .org address, but the registries are subject to US law. So, for instance, US courts can order a .com domain taken down, even if it points to servers in another country.

Thank you for the book recommendation. I have not read David Chalmers' work, but I have seen his name mentioned often. I've been trying to figure out where to get started with learning about the current understanding of the mind-body problem and keep getting recommendations to start back with the Greeks and work forward (which seems both quite daunting but also baroque given lack of influence from modern neuroscience). I think I'll start reading there. Thanks again!
Another hook might be a violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) which has been interpreted to prohibit automatically sending text messages without the recipient's consent. The statutory damages are $500 per incident.
Aside: The 3d js demo (http://threejs.org/examples/webgl_buffergeometry.html) is close to a worst-case input for a video encoder, which is why the youtube video looks so bad.

Video codecs generally encode motion first ("move this rectangle left 10 pixels"), and then fix any residual errors ("apply this patch"). It is _far_ more efficient to transmit motions and residuals than an entire frame.

This demo actively resists motion encoding, since a 3d volume shifting perspective is approximated poorly by a linear shift. Almost every pixel is changing each frame, in an unpredictable manner. Youtube doesn't allow the encoder enough bits to represent the actual image well, and the result is a blurry mess with occasional flashes of clarity when the encoder transmits a keyframe (an entire picture, added to allow fast seeking).
Interestingly, Android was much better about application permissions for some time. These days though, it seems iOS allows users to have more control.

On iOS, for reference, one could install Path but then deny it notification permission (or limit what types of notifications at a very granular level), allow/deny access to photos, and allow/deny access to the address book. You could deny all of those and still use the app just fine, though obviously without the ability to upload things from your photo roll.
This is an impressive release. They move forwards at an amazing pace. I had already been using LT 0.3.9 almost exclusively for my ongoing Clojure projects during the last month, switching back to Emacs only for heavy editing tasks.

I was really missing but the ability to (de-/re-)connect to a given client, which 0.4.0 provides. In my opinion LT is not just a code editor (editing features are pretty poor yet indeed) but a code experimenting platform. And there it rocks. Even in alpha, it compares pretty well with Emacs Live in terms of stability and usability.

ClojureScript, Node and JS support is a terrific move. This means I may even soon use Brackets (another nice node-webkit project) less for live JS HTML coding and debugging and live mostly in LT.

Congratulations Chris and Co!
This was so great it almost made me laugh out loud.
"there's ten different ways to do everything"

I believe this observation is a bit misleading. Indeed, Scala does offer some alternatives, but these are helpful in the transition from other languages with less powerful type systems. Idiomatic Scala is not really a hodge-podge of choices.
The fact you're the only one here making your extreme claims is strong evidence in my favor unless you think you're that much better than everyone else here.
Just did a bit of digging.

They use this company for the verification process of ID scanning.

http://www.jumio.com/netverify/

I wonder if this has been brought on due to a friction of fraud that they are facing as they've grown. They've actually done a great job of keeping fraudulent activity under-hush, but I'm sure it's been a major problem...

Also, one of the main issues with a marketplace that fulfils the service/product at a future date is the uncertainty that the home owners actually exist. They've done a good job of limiting their exposure to risk on this by putting in lots of mechanisms in place.

(Reviews / Free profession photography / Payment holds to owners until arrival / Social connections / Phone verification / CC Linking )

All of these help create a strong recognition of trust/security (that isn't just an illusion like many other sites).

I'm just not quite sure what additional benefit this offers. (I'll assume it's to protect the home owners more, by requiring guests who place a booking to confirm their identity)

AirBnb don't store any of the verification documents either. They are all stored by Jumio, who also check them against goverment documents to confirm a match. [2]

Thanks for the interesting postmortem. I've been thinking along the same lines recently - HTML5 + app packager for teams with limited development resources, multiple parallel native apps for teams that handle it. Or native if you have some specific requirement that can only be met by native.

Fwiw, the Flat/Tiled/Metro design motiff seems to taking off enough that it's a satisfactory cross-device substitute for native.

Summly used it too; as such, yours doesn't look significantly different theirs, other than their use of transparency in places.

Maybe it was their mention of their use of genetic algorithms in their well-done launch video [1], and having a 15yr old founder, that did it for them. Of the Three T's they nailed two - team and technology. Attention, interest, and Traction were sure to follow.

I think the moral of this story is to do a little Googling about a company or product before trusting them with all the contact information (at least) in your phone. You know, to find out first if they're criminal scumbuckets. For all you know their app keylogs your transactions with your bank.
When trying to download using chrome, I'm getting a warning, saying "LightTableWin.zip is not commonly downloaded and could be dangerous." Guess it is a false positive.
maybe you should think about not spilling company trade secrets to competitors. I'm not trying do defend Opera, but if an (ex) employee ( be it contractor or not) revealed or used the same thing that he developed for my company while i was paying him , i would probably sue him too. Now ... in this case there are a lot of missing facts, but in the general case, when it's about a lot of money , i think any sane CEO would decide to sue.
yes, android requires user permission to access any data on your phone.
