Very elegant website!

I have a few questions. I ran it against one of my pet projects: www.smitestreams.com and 5 errors popped up.

I'm confused specifically about the following:

============================

SEO Authority: Page Rank missing. - What exactly is this?

Security: Reputation - What is this?

============================

Fantastic project! Very well done and simple to use.
There's no unstable 2.7, it's mainly because of that. The change to 3.0 happened basically to signal that.

EDIT: For those who do not remember the 2.x stuff when x was a odd number the version was unstable, when it was an even number the version was stable and basically was what distributions used.
Awesome! I am subscribing to your newsletter through the app.nowte.com website! :)

Rumors. All rumors.

Why is this here? I'm one of the biggest OS X 'fanbois' in the world, and I read the rumor mill sites every day, and I enjoy them for what they are: speculation.

But this isn't news; news is typically factual. And the Apple Rumor business is abysmal; 9to5mac, and specifically Mark Gurman, have one of the best track records in the game[1]; even then, it's a horrendous track record.

If this stuff shows up, then yay. I'll be thrilled. Especially proper multi-monitor support for full-screen apps. And I'm not saying that Mark Gurman is wrong (after all, he has "sources"). It's entirely possible that everything in this article will show up in 10.9

But it doesn't change the fact that it's still chaff, not wheat.

Definitely beating a dead horse.
I've always imagined it being a link to other brains or computing devices. The new computing devices become part of who we are, it would give us the advantages of a computer inside our heads. Instant calculations and true photographic memory would be possible.

Plus it would eventually allow us to "transfer" our brains, which might be required to live forever. There has been lots of discussion on the requirements for a brain transfer, it would likely have to be gradual, and there is always the debate on if the new you is really you or just a clone.
kind of sad they think their trade secrets are worth only 3.4m

Err, about that...

Could anyone tell me what's written at the bottom of the dialog box that pops up when you click the "Ready? Try Ghost" button, please? My computer is a 10'' netbook, and the box is outside the visual range of my screen. Unfortunately, the scrollbar scrolls the grayed out background, not the box itself, so I have no chance of doing anything other than hitting the back button.

(To give them credit, what I can read is: "We've built a prototype, and it's working really well! But there's a lot to do.")

Is there a page I can access directly to try Ghost out, without having to go through that box?

I was thinking the same thing. I, too, wrote many sheets of hand-coded 6502 assembly back then, but I didn't think to use a multi-colored pen.
Node.js module to summarize text
I didn't fully realize that I had this issue (I mean, I saw freezes, just assumed it was Photoshop or something causing it). Did the reboot fix and things seems to have worked. Whereas before mdworker errors were entering the console every 2-3 minutes, it's been 30 since I did the reboot and haven't seen an mdworker error since.

I host several customer projects on Hetzner managed servers. Ports of all the services, MySQL, Postgres, smtp, everything else are open to the world and their support refuses to lock that down in any way.

I accept that for managed servers they need to connect from outside to manage them, but how hard would it be to drop all traffic except for the IP range their management systems use?
Interesting to say the least. Its amazing how much troubleshooting it takes here to deeply understand the issues faced and it appears to me that the levels of abstraction introduced by both Clojure and the JVM increased the complexity and difficulty of the task.

I have a feeling that a C/pthreads or Go program probably would have been much easier to troubleshoot (and likely faster as well).

For delivering a CMS, your server side is totally tech agnostic. The major innovations left are all client side.

If anything, people's major complaint with Wordpress is that it's a horrible tangle of spaghetti. What's the state-of-the-art for Node.js web frameworks?

There'd be a lot of irony in launching an aesthetically pleasing CMS admin panel overtop yet-another spaghetti engine that is hard to augment.
In 50 years, the machine will be able to outperform the bottom 50% of the human population in any conceivable endeavor or task behind a keyboard/monitor. So CAPTCHAS will eventually be useless.

So it's an intelligence race. The more intelligent system (a computer, human, or hybrid) will be able to deceive the lesser intelligent system (computer, human or hybrid).

So the problem changes from: "Is the entity I am dealing with a computer or a human" to: "Does the entity I am dealing with have intentions to gain an unfair advantage over this transaction."

Humans have a part of our brain where we look for how others might be taking advantage of us, the algorithms and data structures there are remarkable. Computers will need to acquire those abilities if they are to manage the exchange of money, goods and services.
With every update I seem to have to reinstall just about any command line tool that I've previously installed because either they've moved some executables, or deprecated something , or the old binaries simply do not work with the newer version of the os. MySQL is probably the biggest annoyance with regard to upgrading. I don't believe that this is just a thing that I go through because the answers to my problems are a Google search away and I've taken an 07 MBP from Leopard to Mountain Lion.
Join us and disrupt one of the World's worst Monopolies
SendHub (YC W12) is looking for Javascript and iOS engineers.

About us:
We’re making it faster and simpler for professionals to communicate.

Founded to help educators reach students and parents in under resourced communities, we’re taking on the Telecom giants. Hate your phone carrier? Us too. Telecommunications is a duopoly dominated industry, which has systematically suppressed competition over its 150 year history, in order to keep prices unfairly high. We’re going to change this, starting with business phone service.

SendHub has over 100k customers across the US in business, politics, faith groups, sports, education and many more; making hundreds of thousands of calls and sending millions of texts each month.

The Role:
You’ll be involved in every part of the software life cycle from specs discussion to implementation to testing and releasing. You’ll work on challenging problems that require deep knowledge of the tech stack and work with fun technologies such as VoIP and Bluetooth.

Our Philosophy:
We believe in building a wonderful product and taking care of our people. We understand the importance of personal growth so you’ll get autonomy, recognition and regular feedback. We move quickly. Working in short iteration cycles, we release our apps to market at least once a week. We expect a lot of each other but we wouldn't want it any other way.

Benefits:
Health, dental, meals and we don’t track vacation days.

We're based in downtown Menlo Park, CA (very close to the caltrain station). If you're interested, please drop us a line: jobs [at] sendhub [dot] com.
This is one of the many uses for tests that too few people know.

Need small output? Truncate the output of SHA-256. What "easy to compute" means? Performance? Use BLAKE2. Code complexity? sha256() is only 3 letters more than md5() (you're probably not writing your own implementation).

Asking other people (especially, not professional cryptographers) to try to break your system which knowingly uses insecure primitives is an awful way to evaluate system security.

For a small site, doing anything out of the ordinary is enough to stop the vast majority of spam.

For years, I had a non-captcha on my blog that simply read:

Enter the word "elbow": ________

That was it. The word was hardcoded, and the server simply checked to see if that input field did, indeed, contain the word "elbow". Spam completely halted for a long time. Eventually, it started showing up again, and once I got tired of deleting a couple of spams per week, I changed it to:

Enter the word "humour", but with American spelling: ________

Once again, spam stopped for a long time. As a bonus, I had a couple of commenters complaining that not everybody was a native English speaker and this question was too hard. I say "bonus", because I like keeping away commenters who can't be bothered to spend five seconds on Google.

This started to break down eventually as well. My latest effort, done more for fun than effectiveness, is to implement a hashcash proof-of-work system in Javascript. In short, the server sends a random salt to the client, and the client must then come up with a string which, when concatenated with the salt, has an SHA-1 hash with a certain number of leading zero bits. This is easy to verify (the server just takes the client's result, performs a hash, counts the leading zero bits) but hard to produce (the client has to brute-force it).

The relative slowness of JavaScript crypto makes this not actually very useful in a theoretical sense. I've calibrated the difficulty to take about 20 seconds of work in the browser, but a decent native code implementation can do the same amount of work in maybe a tenth of a second. So, against a determined attacker, it won't be much of an obstacle.

But as a relatively small site with a completely custom anti-spam solution, I don't get determined attackers. I get the occasional spam message with this in place, but from the server logs it's obvious that it's actual real human beings firing up the comment form and waiting the ~20 seconds for the hashcash to complete before posting their comment. Terribly inefficient for them, and it keeps stuff down to a manageable level.

In summary, if you have a small site, you can throw up nearly any custom anti-spam measure, no matter how silly or easy, and have it be effective. A standard captcha may be easier to add than a non-standard anything, but it's definitely not an "absolute requirement". Big sites are completely different, since they'll attract enough spammer attention for site-specific attacks.
As a happy Ubuntu Raring user, I can't honestly agree with the complains against Ubuntu.

The Scottish village I grew up in had a High Street - but it wasn't the High Street in the sense of "most important shopping street" (or indeed in any other sense). The "most important" street was Church Street - which even had a shop and a church, whereas High Street only had one church. :-)

High Streets can also be overtaken by events. Edinburgh's High Street hasn't been the most important street for anyone other than tourists for a few hundred years.
Could there be money in it if somehow it could be converted into fertilizer (obviously with some hygienic challenges)?
Reading tests is not TDD, it is basic due diligene when learning code. Eve still, skipping that, when the test fails, the rush coder will see the problem.
I didn't watch the video so I apologize if this is a feature: I would prefer the app do auto-tagging based on voice notes, as opposed to just text that may or may not appear in a photo. If I could just snap a photo, say a few words...and have the app translate those words and use NLP to preserve the nouns as tags, that would work out wonderful.

As long as you're deriving characteristics, color definitely should be a default option...if a large central object is predominantly something like blue, then have "blue" be part of the auto-created set. Sometimes I might remember a photo as having a lot of "blue" in it, taken during a given time period.

But to answer your overall question, this app can definitely find an audience. Good luck!

Also, preserving geocoding data would be a useful option, and obviously something already built into camera feature.
Looks somewhat similar to IFTTT. Can you comment on what makes your service different/better and the demographic it's geared toward? It says 'no programming required', but the blog makes me thing otherwise.

I like the idea, though (even if programming is required). I'm an avid user of Tasker on Android to automate tasks on my phone and would love to be able to do that with web services without having to stand up, host, and maintain the code for doing so. I've also used Yahoo! Pipes, but it leaves a lot to be desired and still takes a programmer's mindset to use.

Good luck!
Also, wouldn't the JS performance be worse in an App Store app as compared to the browser?
There are options for small employers. I think SIMPLE is one of them, but that's off the top of my head.

Yeah, some software assumed that there must be three digits in version numbers so 3.X kernels were sometimes called 2.6.X+40 which means 2.6.42 actually is 3.2.
One critical feature would be local storage of recorded video. It would be a huge invasion of privacy to pull images from innocent people, even if it is for the greater good, maybe.

You think that's horrifying? You should try downloading Wireshark and seeing all the traffic that's coming in and out of your network interface.
You used the phrase 'to eliminate such frauds.' The suggestion (to me) is that this is a fool proof method that eliminates such frauds. I would contend this is not true; fraud is still relatively easy. The question is how much this promotes a false sense of security.

Stapel's fraud was only detected after many years, and after his results had been widely published. I still hear some of his conclusions quoted now and then as if it were established truth, by people who have not yet realised that it is one of the famous Stapel ones.
Captchas are really just an efficiency measure. You could simply have a human screen every single comment (or signup or whatever) and cull the spam. But human time is too limited, so we come up with lesser measures.

When machine intelligence advances that far, we'll be able to easily automate human-level examination of every single comment or submission or whatever. So I think the problem will get better, not worse, with that level of power.
It would be remiss to not mention Shawn Bracewell in the discussion. According to Alex Hopmann, Shawn was responsible for adding asynchronous support:

"Step one was to bring the code up to production quality so we got Shawn Bracewell, one of the devs on the OWA team to take it over. Being a smart guy he promptly threw away all of my code and rewrote it in a more solid fashion, adding async support, error handling and more." [1]

In addition, Jim Van Eaton wrote:

"XMLHTTP was born and implemented by the OWA dev effort of Shawn Bracewell. Exchange funded the effort by having OWA development build XMLHTTP in partnership with the Webdata team in SQL server.

XMLHTTP changed everything. It put the "D" in DHTML. It allowed us to asynchronously get data from the server and preserve document state on the client." [2]

I've never had that problem, but I've only been on OS X since Snow Leopard, and it seems that things have remained pretty consistent.

I also try to do as much installation from Homebrew (http://mxcl.github.io/homebrew/) as possible, so that I can let the package manager worry about stuff like that.
This is the concept for the engine, we are glad you "got it." Although you can add it into Tasker too. The bigger picture is that you do not need to be connected to the WiFi or BT radio to enable this.
Please just use if/else and a flag. It's much clearer and more maintainable.

Triggering the Copyright Alert System is tough, even if you're trying
Spraying horrible garbage cleverness in code, and submitting commented out code, are exactly the sort of newbie mistakes that code reviews should sort out.

At best, this gimmick is for hacking out some temp code while debugging, and should not be submitted.

Of course, one should just use an IDE, or even vim, to commenting out code as needed.
That's late for hand coding assembler (and very late for a KIM 1). Last time I did any hand assembly was 81/82 for a ZX81. Graduated to an Apple //e where I wrote my own assembler using the mini-assembler in the integer basic ROM and Apple Writer I as a text editor. By 1984 I had gotten my hands on the Apple ProDOS assembler so my bodged mini-assembler got put out to pasture.

Mind you I've just got an Atari 65XE from ebay today which I will now have to explain to my wife (I always thought the Atari graphics was neat and wanted to play with the display list stuff but never did so at the time)

I have never seen this on a street of NYC. Never, not even once. I'm sure it happens but it most be rare. I've lived here for 25 years. It must be really bad in San Francisco for this to be common. Kind of makes me want to no live there. All I can think about that city is that it is a CRAPPY city.

I use this "trick" a lot, but I'll never ever dare committing it; just for small and quick checks (of the "what if I use this other implementation for the loop?").
