I'd rather block them.

I, for one, detest the new trend of every website trying to invent its own windowing manager. "New Compose" is the perfect example of this. I don't want every website creating its own internal windows that I can't move, resize, or control with the same power that my windowing manager (whether via X11, Aqua, or whatever Windows uses) gives me.

For me, if a popup is at all useful, I'd rather have it pop up in a separate window (and then I can move it back into a tab easily if I like it.

And if it's not useful, just kill it from the onset. (One of my extensions - probably AdBlock - seems to do a good job of determining this, for me).
5 Market Leading Businesses Using Email to Get More Customers
Yes. Invoices would be one. How about proposal documents, quotes, NDA's, terms and conditions, privacy policy etc.

You could expand to include legal advice. Many serviced based companies out there need good documents. You have some solid ground work to really tap into a niche market here. But I think you should focus on the content of the documents more rather than the aesthetics.

Personally I would never pay for a resume design but I would pay for a set of document designs to support my business and if these documents would contain the right content it would make all the more valuable.

Because if we don't have the right to incredibly unpopular, witchhunt-inducing speech, then we don't have free speech at all.

Many things that need to be said for a society to remain free are things that many people really don't want to hear.

http://microco.sm/ is all built in Go, as far as I know. buro9 loves it, and I bet deployment is a breeze.
Not for long.

For example, what if a corporation set up the page? Oh, we can't let corporations have free speech, according to popular sentiment (which is packaged up as "campaign finance laws"). So, we had better make sure we know who says everything, to make sure it's not a corporation.

In a society that hates freedom, freedom dies. We live in that society.
Good thing the web wasn't invented in Silicon Valley.

EDIT: Wanted to add that I'm not really a Silicon Valley hater. Silicon Valley did a lot to make the web what it is today, starting with companies like Netscape and Sun and followed by all the dot com and Web 2.0 powerhouses.
How  to Find a Lead Developer for Your Startup
Java EE 7 Platform Completes the JCP Final Approval Ballot
As someone who writes Go code professionally, I find Go code to be really easy and quick to write, with fewer bugs/LOC than any other language I've used. Both compilation and execution speed are really fast, so you have both quick edit-compile-test turnarounds similar to a scripting language while having the execution speed of native code. Not quite as fast as C and C++, but getting there.

Writing concurrent code is incredibly easy with the primitives Go provides: goroutines (think of them like green threads multiplexed to 1 to very few OS threads) and channels (similar to pipes). No more faffing around with details of thread creation and teardown or an unreadable mess of callbacks (like you would have in system with event loops). So, if you've written concurrent software (like network servers) before, check it out, you will enjoy it.
If they're basing it on traffic, they have no clue that people are leaving.

These same numbers could just mean their growth rate is slowing (which is way more plausible, as they have over a billion users at this point).

The only way to get an indication that people are _leaving_ Facebook is to look at how many users they had last month, and how many they have today. I'm guessing they have a few million more users today than they did in March...

Thanks for the suggestions! There's a lot I want to do with more intelligent recipe suggestions based on food taste, and hopefully I'll get around to it within a few months. Same for the fit bit stuff - there's a lot I can work on to make the whole thing more reactive to your daily activity.

You can plan a week ahead as a subscriber - the site will automatically send you 7 meal plans and a grocery list the day before your grocery shopping day, whatever you set that to be. And I may work on an API if I have time, but you can enter your own custom foods and recipes if you sign up. I don't make if obvious, but if you sign up and bail out after the email/password step, you can still use a basic free account to enter recipes and foods and things.
How long has the service been around for, and how did you get traction? You have quite a lot of Twitter and Facebook followers/fans.

In my experience, the thing most likely to cause a problem is going to be the building's management - whether its an apartment, condo, or co-op. With a 2 or 3 low profile people you'll be ok, but good luck trying to get away with actual employees coming in and out all day.

Why is an internal promotion a bad thing?
> SQL databases are strongly typed and extremely good at enforcing consistency, whether you want them to or not. They are quite good at preventing many classes of bad data from being recorded in the first place

>NoSQL, on the other hand, is weakly typed and makes few if any attempts to validate your data, pushing that responsibility back onto you. They are very well suited to storing inherently inconsistent data

Actually, I've had to deal with that first hand. It gets particularly nasty when multiple languages with varying type-tightness interact with the same data.

It's nice to hear someone else put this into words.

You don't have it? It works for me. I'll get a "Pop-up notification blocked" message right next to the star in the address bar. I can click on it and continue to ignore pop-ups, or choose to open them if I need to see them.

Pretty much exactly the feature described in the comic. Maybe you have it turned off somehow.
Because it would be _not_ legitimate for the government to _stop_ us from doing so.

That's because it's not legitimate for the government to use non consensual physical force against us.

Unless we've given up my right to not consent by using or threatening to use non consensual physical force against someone else.

As a sidenote, the point where you have to use violence to advocate for political goals instead of persuasion is when free speech is disallowed.

I agree! I had all those same reactions when I wanted different things. This site is actually super useful and friendly. Nice work :)

I also agree with other people's want for a like/don't like suggester. I know that takes a ton of work, but I would pay for a service that offers up recipes and mealplans for me based on my feedback.

There's probably a culture clash here but... is this considered a balanced nutritious meal in the US?

http://i.imgur.com/cVpnXJB.png

I'm French, a country that has a certain reputation for eating healthy, and where a meal is typically:

- an "appetizer" (small salad or crudités)

- a main course (typically meat/fish + vegetable/starch)

- cheese & bread

- dessert (often fruit, or rarely something sweet like a slice of cake)

(breakfast is typically cereal with coffee/tea, maybe some fruit)

I'm not a nutritionist, but the recommended meals strike me as very unbalanced.

Do you thinking providing funding to individual kids is more successful than creating a pool for everyone? I'd feel bad for the one student that for whatever reason happens to be overlooked by the internet, while their peer gets funded. What if you grouped students by school or class? That way the potential failure or rejection is shared by the group rather than just one kid.

Introduction to the Leap Motion Controller
In complete agreement. This is no different than me just coming up with a crummy game to begin with. Let's say I run a casino and accidentally set up a modified game of blackjack where the odds favor the customers instead of the house. Customers merely playing this game is "exploiting" a bug. Should I be able to sue them? (BTW a couple of months ago this happened with mis-shuffled decks) The premise of this game is to get people to risk their money, I can't whine when it backfires on me and I lose instead of them! I certainly don't get to sue the casino for exploiting my gambling addiction or the fact that I had a little too much to drink before my last bet.

Look, let's be honest here: casinos are nothing more than legal (and sure, transparent) scams, plain and simple (at least when its house vs. customer and not customer vs. customer). The rules are systematically designed to drain you of your money while tricking you into thinking you might win. And I have absolutely no problem with that. I am a free market guy, and as far as I'm concerned gambling is voluntary. HOWEVER, if you are going to dedicate your business to literally ruining people's lives and profiting from their losses, then suck it up when you are too stupid and your con backfires on you. Don't get the law involved, and thus my taxpayer dollars, to save you from your unsuccessful grift. This is as absurd as an idiot running a faulty ponzi scheme and then suing his marks because they made money and he didn't.
It hasn't fallen yet, but I had no idea hackernews would hit my servers this hard. Fingers crossed.
There's a short description in English here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impressum
If schools judged CS applicants by their ability to program, I'd agree, but they don't. They judge them based upon their likelihood to succeed in the program (amongst other things, like building a diverse student body or whatever). That is, they judge them by their ability to be a good student. If all of the evidence goes to show that a prospect is a terrible student, why would a University accept them knowing that they are likely to fail?

Now, your friends may be more than capable at succeeding in university, and if a school only took the time to get to know them, they might see that, but, on paper, they look the same as someone who likely couldn't succeed in school (because they haven't, really, up to that point).

That all sounds all horrible about universities, disregarding these capable students because of an inability to really get to know prospects, but that's not on them. If you want to get into a good school, try harder.

As far as it defeating the point of getting an education, I'd wholly agree that college is not a worthwhile pursuit for a future-SE if your only reason for going is to get a job. You'll spend a lot of time in college learning skills that are not directly applicable to your future employment. You could arguably get to a point where you're good enough to hire more efficiently by skipping school. Whether or not it's worth passing on the things you really won't experience outside of school in exchange for a more efficient route to money is really up to you.

Zero To A Scala SBT Project
IANAL, but I have thought a lot about what constitutes cheating at gambling, as opposed to legal advantage play, and I think this is cheating. The key distinction, for me, is that the machine is not a game in and of itself, but an interface for offering multiple games.

(For those who didn't read the article, the scheme basically involves playing game A at the minimum wager until you get a big win, then switching to game B at a higher wager until the game B reaches a certain state, and then switching back to game A, at which point the machine would re-calculate your earlier win in game A based on your (higher) wager in game B.)

The nearest analog I can think of is switching roulette table chips between tables of different denominations. When you buy roulette chips, the croupier notes the value of a stack of 20 chips, usually $20, $100, or $500 a stack, by placing a token near the wheel. Looking at a single chip, it's impossible to tell whether the chip is worth $1, $5, or $25. And a given color chip at one table may be worth $1, while at a neighboring table it's worth $25. Table chips are marked with a letter on their face indicating which table they belong to, but croupiers don't always examine the letters, so if you slip chips between tables, you might be able to wager a low-denomination chip and be paid off in high-denomination chips. That's definitely cheating, even if the casino doesn't immediately stop you from slipping chips between games.

My general rule of thumb is that anything that happens within a game is fair play. If the exploit had been that a particular sequence of wagers would cause the random number generator to behave in a predictable way, then I'd be fine with it. But I wouldn't consider the game-selection interface to be part of the game.
MDI is an abomination on the desktop, and it's no less so in the browser.
No, it's a commonly unbalanced US meal. (and is ~1.5 people's worth of calories.) But it doesn' seem do different from your example: meat, vegetable, dairy, starch, sweet.

Is there ever a point where a single person has "built most of the product"? At that stage, the product has so much evolution left, that early employees are going to be critical to shaping and developing it.

It's almost certainly a matter of viewpoint and attitude of both the founder(s) and early employees though, so discretion is required.
You can run the diesels underwater though. Obviously there is a limit, but surfacing the boat is neither required (sea state permitting) nor desired ("OH LOOK, A SUB!!").

DIW on a CVN is a big deal, that is true (though hardly a career killer by itself for O-gang, even the ones in Reactor Department). NR takes nuclear safety very seriously and the carrier won't sink just from loss of propulsion so the reactors will very much be configured to fail conservative if necessary.

Even on a submarine, which can flounder without propulsion and only has a single reactor, we do scram drills all the time. A scram can occur for no better reason than that reactor protection was feeling finicky that day, so the drills are designed to assume a scram will happen, and recover safely and efficiently.

On the other hand, an unplanned scram really is one of those things which may get someone disqualified from watchstanding, and possibly de-nuked completely, since those usually represent a crew that doesn't properly respect the power of the reactor.

So I started developing something remarkably similar about 4 years ago (in Django, too!). Wrote up a business plan with monetization, p&l, etc. I brought the plan and prototype to a few seed folks for early funding before I admittedly lost interest and moved onto something else.

The hardest technical challenge I had was, knowing there would need to be a ton of recipes in the system to make it truly effective, I had to do an automated intake of recipes from many places. But ingredient normalization got in the way, even with really good regex/etl practices. For instance, a recipe says, "boneless skinless chicken breast".. another says, "skinless boneless chicken breast". Some list the # of breasts. Some list pounds. Some mean the breast is split, some don't. But in order for the nutrition info to be accurate, the normalization process had to be near perfect.

I ended up "buying" the source code to "recipefox" a recipe parsing plugin for firefox (for $100 or something like that) which helped tremendously, but still wasn't good enough for my tastes. I felt like to make it all work, i needed to essentially build a recipe ETL.

The monetization was kind of cool, I felt. Free for users. I felt that companies (food companies, supermarkets, etc) would put coupons for specific brands or specific stores on printed-out shopping lists based on the weekly recipes. i actually got alot of interest from that one from actual supermarkets. Thought that was cool.

Good luck with this. It was a tremendous idea 4 years ago and I always wondered when someone else was going to do it because it just seemed so damn obvious to me.

It started out as Swole.me (http://www.swole.me) a little over two years ago, and then I rebranded it once the algorithm was good enough to suggest things a normal, well adjusted person might eat (as opposed to a meal of 2 tbsp peanut butter + 1 chicken breast). My guess is that the idea and execution was novel enough to get it a decent amount of attention.
