I think he perhaps means tabs with a true document interface[1] (i.e multiple web pages can be opened within the same application window and be resized, moved, tiled, and cascaded like normal application windows in the operating system).

Edit: Seems Opera added tabs slightly before Mozilla after looking it up out of interest[2]. Also just some random history on tab integration in web browsers. Mozilla 0.9.5 added them a few months after Opera 4 in 2001, though of course neither was the first. I guess one can say Opera was the first browser to add them that is still a fairly popular browser in present day.

Four years later, in 1994, BookLink Technologies featured tabbed windows in its InternetWorks browser. That same year, a text editor called UltraEdit also appeared with a modern multi-row tabbed interface. The tabbed interface approach was then followed by the Internet Explorer shell NetCaptor in 1997. These were followed by a number of others like IBrowse in 1999, and Opera in [June] 2000 (with the release of version 4 - although a MDI interface was supported before then), MultiViews October 2000, which changed its name into MultiZilla on 1 April 2001 (an extension for the Mozilla Application Suite[7]), Galeon in early 2001, Mozilla 0.9.5 in October 2001, Phoenix 0.1 (now Mozilla Firefox) in October 2002, Konqueror 3.1 in January 2003, and Safari in 2003. With the release of Internet Explorer 7 in 2006, all major web browsers featured a tabbed interface.

Mad girls use Novynette at night
Novynette is indicated for the prevention of pregnancy to women who are in the child bearing age. This hormonal contraceptive medicine is also prescribed for the remedy of menstrual disorder such as dysmenorrhea and reduction in the occurrence of pre-menstrual syndrome such as mood changes, irritability, depression, breast tenderness or headache.
Yes. When something Google Now finds relevant is available it creates a low priority notification that the user will see when checking the notification pane.
> ... show me more innovation (and market-share) than Mozilla and then maybe I'll believe you're the innovator.

I was surprised, but Wikipedia has a nice article in reference to Opera's features[1]. It even lists most of the dates the features were added/created. Opera also has a fairly large mobile market share[2], which is where Opera has traditionally pushed their browser more so than the desktop since the mid 2000s.

Just to let you know, I checked all of them. Not because I'm malicious, although based on a recent poll about ages I'm sure that will happen, but because that most accurately represents my situation.

Some days I work from home, other days I work in my nearby office. Some days I work in a cafe in a nearby town, and yet other days I travel to clients. These are roughly equally divided, so checking all seems the only reasonable option.
I have fond memories of programming my "Arnesh" 68 K board around 1995. We used them in our microprocessor course, and since I had so little time in the lab, I bought my own board. After the class ended I would lend it to friends until it came back fried. One of these days I need to dig it out and try to repair it, now that I feel a little more secure with a soldering iron.

Curiously enough, you can see the arc structures (mentioned in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5626679) as two giant rips in the X-ray layer.
Are you sure you read that correctly? I quote:

> In this system, the third digit (instead of the second digit) denotes a minor release, and a fourth digit (instead of the third digit) denotes bug-fix/revision releases. Because the first digit is always 10, and because the subsequent digits are not decimals, but incremental values, it is likely that a hypothetical 11th major version of OSX, should it exist, would be labeled "10.10" rather than "11.0".

They did 10.4.10 and 10.4.11 so I'd say its within the realm of possibility.
I respect your argument and approach. "Stop trying to fix culture or people" I think our culture and people generally frown upon stealing given the ramifications it has for all of us if it becomes rampant. So I'm not trying to fix these folks - just point out that the ease with which these goods can be stolen creates this outcome where it gets too much of a free pass.
We Had The Perfect Product Launch Planned, And Then It All Went Splat
It uses a bunch of different kinds of interaction:

- A normal home screen widget

- A lock screen widget

- A special "drag up from the home button" gesture that can be triggered from any app

- Rich notifications. (As in you can trigger useful actions straight from the notification. E.g. for an event that's starting soon, you can email all participants.)

Sales sucks, but then I learned the hard way
Sales sucks. As engineers we concentrate on building, constructing & innovating. But after the dot-com bust, I learned to innovate my services business just to survive!
WRT "Google NOW" on the desktop, read the wikipedia article about Pointcast the dotcom. From $450M to $7M in two years, to zero by the third year.

Its basically the same idea.
Please don't go blowing away your entire /etc/crontab! In most cases it isn't even necessary.

"I see the future of WordPress as a web operating system" - Please no no no. Having worked with Wordpress for the past few weeks, I sincerely hope I never have to again.
It is a little similar to IFTTT (and Zapier and Elastic.io) but was definitely more inspired by Yahoo Pipes. The project is many years old via several pivots, it started out as an email anonymizer > rss transform aggregator when I was going through a semantic web phase. I'm not sure of Pipes underlying implementation, but Bipio uses a (distributed) digraph to process channels/functions with virtually limitless complexity. Others on the market seemed locked into a simpler functional predicate.

Bipio is geared towards the sweet spot of developer flexibility and non-developer productivity, so the problem I'm trying to solve is 'how do I give programmer flexibility to users who don't care (or have need to care) about programming'. You can get as much under the hood of Bipio as you want, or use a very highly abstracted UI, which I'm still building, to just get stuff done. A fundamental difference beyond the open API is the ability to power a web application, or be an email gatekeeper, or content aggregator etc. or model very complex pipelines easily. I have someone using it to sell .psd templates on etsy straight from dropbox, completely hands off, which was a really interesting use case (and a 30 minute setup all things considered including testing).

Given enough interest, it will likely progress to an open source model circa Wordpress, so I can really start concentrating and understanding the human interaction side of these types of services.

Thanks for the feedback! :)
Yes, yes, no. PHP is a preprocessor.
I'm wondering, is the dialect and feature set of the BASIC you use now the same as the one you used back then? I imagine the largest factor in that list is the language.

I commonly have to code in older versions of my preferred language, and it's always a bit grating. I'm always pining for the newer features that I've grown accustomed to.
I don't think it would be very useful to have RSS feeds in Google Now. I like Google Now because it tells me what I want to know right now, like that my flight is delayed or traffic is bad or here's how to get to that restaurant and you need to leave in 15 minutes. I don't want to know about a new article right now.
Interesting project, I don't really have anything to say beyond what the other comments here point out. Slightly off-topic, the /features.html page makes a really nice informative homepage. Their actual homepage is useless; it reminds me of the "Enter here" landing pages of the 90s. Is there some reason to structure the informational site this way that I'm missing?
I find the continued personal attacks on Val to be disgusting and an embarrassment to people in the hacker and security communities. I no longer consider myself to be part of those communities, but once was.

Often times having a one-size-fits-all approach (especially across languages [!]) is not a good idea.

Different languages have different optimization techniques for removing code during compilation. Java, for example [1], can optimize out based on static boolean variables. I recommend learning more about each individual language and what it offers to get the best out of it.

From a legal perspective, that's a dangerous move. There are any number of ways an interviewer's feedback could be misinterpreted (or correctly interpreted, I suppose) as being an illegal reason for issuing a no-hire. Even if you're careful, there's a non-zero chance of a really bad outcome. It just isn't worth it.

Webflow seems to be still in beta mode, where I cannot edit the template and put some other html components. Thank you.

Apache Hadoop on OpenStack
Rails 4.0 rc1 released
I have several servers at OVH and absolutely love them. I have a feeling that if there is a flaw in their manager then it will get fixed fast.

That being said, I wonder if the guy had any alternate email accounts listed on his OVH manager account. Emails get sent to both accounts when some action occurs in the manager that requires an email to be sent.
All very good points. I think it would look silly, but sure, it’s possible. However, I think Apple would only choose it if the version after 10.9 didn’t look all too different from 10.9. If they did some kind of UI overhaul, it would be a good time to jump to a new major version – maybe even ‘OS XI’ or ‘OS 11’.
There is very little new under the sun, at least if you're talking about what's going on in the mainstream rather than what's happening in the theoretical space (with GADTs, dependent types, etc). It's been a very long time since I saw software development technology that wasn't just the application of something developed in the 1960's through 1980's. "Oh, Java has lambdas now? Here are the design patterns that take advantage of them. They were well-understood in 1975." "Oh, Ruby has generational garbage collection now? Here is the paper describing the performance characteristics of that--from 1984."

I think TypeScript is actually one of the more genuinely interesting developments recently--it's state of the art circa 1996 (Abadi and Cardelli's "A Theory of Objects.")

This is not really a dig at software development. There is, for example, very little in aerospace that has changed more than incrementally since the 1970's. But people have this perception of software development as this rapidly changing field where knowledge becomes obsolete in the course of a couple of years, when in reality the basic principles are really quite well-developed and mature. Keeping up with software development technology is mostly a matter of figuring out how people have gussied up old ideas with new syntax.

All of the interesting stuff now is domain specific. Algorithms for self-driving cars? Yeah, that's something that we didn't have 20 years ago.

"The Google X people have been dropping hints about some sort of Control Systems thing...."

Wasn't there suppose to be an X labs announcement this month? Maybe they're saving it for I/O. There is a ton of potential for Google Now to function as a controller for your home (android) devices. For example, you're going home from work on a hot day and a card pops up asking if you want to turn the A/C on so the house is cool when you get home.
Dammit Google, this is awesome, and genius, and pretty much obsoletes Siri, but why didn't you push this in the Android Google search app? I really want Now on my phone since it's awesome on my tablet, but I can't get Jellybean onto it.
I found myself, but some of the info was incorrect. I created an account and edited the record. I wasn't sure where the info came from, but I see it pulls from neurotree (which is also incorrect). Nice front end though, much nicer than neurotree :) Keep up the good work

Of course he knows it. His comment said he was introduced to Google Now on his Nexus. Google Now requires a minimum of Android 4.1.

iOS feels pretty old-fashioned in comparison.

Pretty subjective. I feel it's the other way around, with Android feeling old-fashioned, although I really like Android's power. I use both Android and iOS daily.
Much better in the original post http://philosophically.com/dont-launch-your-product than a re-tread article.
Funny, if Apple trawled through your email, calendar and search history to pull a stunt like this people would be up in arms.

Would they? Is there any precedent here of Apple scraping user info? The usual complaints against Apple (mine included) is that their systems are far too locked down and closed to competition- not that they do funny stuff with my data.
I like their UI.

Respectfully, I have to disagree with your assessment that age is the contributing factor here. I'd argue that pragmatism is what you're seeing.

Pragmatism might correlate with experience, and experience is only gained with time (thus age), but I'd be careful about jumping to that conclusion. There's nothing beyond assumption (this article included) that says younger people are always, or even usually, less pragmatic.

[Edit: That said your tech lead is an idiot if he thinks he should be paid more for a better understanding of technologies tangential to his core goal while he has a weaker understanding of the goal itself.]
> Opera gets in bed with Google Chrome and then sues the other camp? I thought they were above all this.

They are suing their former employee, not Mozilla.

> Webkit, Blink and Gecko have near-parity on features, and are competing more on speed

The former employee is an artist and a musician. The article
says he worked on UI related stuff. None of this has anything to do with the web engine the browsers run.

You are taking the simple fact of Opera suing it's former employee and trying to make it look like there is much more to it than there really is.

I wonder what other conspiracy theories you love.

Possibly a little OT, but am I the only one tired of "Under 30" lists?

On OVH's manager you can add secondary email addresses to a single account. I for example have three emails linked to my account. Upon logging in all those email addresses will get an email notifying me, AND upon doing a password reset all three email accounts will get the password reset link.

At the first compromise which may have been external to OVH's systems the attacker may have added their email address to the list of valid emails, and may have received the password reset email at the other email address. This could explain why the second reset password email was unread...
Not really transactions, just incomes and gains, as you would expect. No news here.
The "plea for public support" blog post is getting old and frankly immature.

You knew Twitter's TOS & you broke them. That's okay if you're willing to put up with the business risk that--if you gain scale--Twitter may be forced to buy you (eBay/Paypal, Photobucket/Myspace) or at least work with you.

That said, your service as others acknowledge below is akin to spamming. This is not a service that is for the betterment of Twitter users AND advertisers. It merely betters your company's coiffeurs and advertisers who are getting "a deal."

You want to win Twitter over? Make it painfully obvious to customers what is occurring. Disclose your business metrics. Put out case studies that show how both users AND advertisers benefit.

The appeal for public support/disclosure is old hat.

> (the logic goes like this: if the address is the resource, the browser as a resource getter should only get the address, not the surrounds).

The browser doesn't retrieve the resource, it returns a representation of the resource. A map centered on a location is a valid representation of a resource identified by an address.

I will turn this into a longer post, but there are projects like DocumentCloud which are run by a non-profit, produce 100% open source code, and which could absolutely benefit from hackers, who are interested in doing good.

Besides Backbone.js, Underscore.js, Jammit & Docsplit, DocumentCloud also has several Open Source products (such as the documentcloud platform, and our document viewer, which is even used by the FBI). These projects serve a civic mission through making journalism more open and more efficient.

We see relatively little traffic on our product repos vs our FOSS tooling repos, which makes me a little sad.

Yea, it looks okay, it's pretty much bootstrap with a black and white theme. The 'markdown live preview' seems neat, but it's nothing that hasn't been done before. The dashboard looks neat, but it's obviously not finished yet, and perhaps that's why they need money. Responsive layout isn't anything too difficult to implement for a blog. It looks like he did pay someone to make the corporate site, or spent a bit of time on it, but yeah, this is nothing special. It is MIT licensed, so in theory, they could take 'poet' (also MIT licensed) and release it themselves and take investors money.
