I've been using Glyphs on a Mac to create web-icon fonts for the site I make, but it also seems to be able to edit fonts (most of the time). I don't really know a ton about font-making, but it seems that with most of the fonts you'd edit, the kerning and all that is already defined.

If it's a matter of adding a couple slashes to 7's/Z's or to 0's, that should be reasonably straight-forward to do. In Glyphs, it would be a matter of adding a new shape for the slash wherever you want it. Then File -> Export and you're on your way.

(And obviously you might run into license violations if you're changing fonts you're not allowed to. This post isn't meant to address the legal side of it, just a guy at his desk fixing fonts for his own use.)

Surely cleaning blood off the knife makes just as much sense if it was a cooking accident as if you've killed someone with it?
I did some digging in Oracle's SEC filings and in fiscal 2009, Larry Ellison (who in FY 2012 was still the highest paid CEO in the country) was given ~$80MM in compensation, where 97% was in "variable compensation" (stock option grant + performance bonus)

Name - Lawrence J. Ellison

Size of Option grant in FY09 (Shares) - 7,000,000

Accounting Grant Date Fair Value of Option Grants in FY09 ($) - 78,421,000

Intrinsic Value of FY09 Option Grants as of 5/29/2009 ($) - 0

Intrinsic Value of FY09 Option Grants as of 8/10/2009 ($) - 3,640,000

http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1341439/0001193125091...

The disparity between the intrinsic value of the option grants between May and August must mean that the shares increased in value by about $.50 in those ~3 months.

I'm always astonished that Ellison still owns ~24% of Oracle.

If the majority decides Christianity is the true path to salvation, tough luck for atheists/muslims/buddhists/jews. Likewise, if the majority decides that religion incites violence, tough luck for christians/muslims/buddhists/jews.

Ask PG: How could this article not be of interest to HN and hackers?
This link was submitted yesterday (I found this out when I tried to submit the same link today) and much to my surprise there are 12 others who submitted, but no comments most likely because it never made it to the front page or was merely submitted at the wrong time.

This makes me wonder how many other things aren't making it to HN and about the lack of transparency as far as how items get to the front page which clearly involves both votes, comments as well as a manual "approval" by admins.

I've had this thought before but it seems like the natural key for a web resource has to be the URL (location) plus the time that the resource was accessed for practical reasons.

Pages are expected by the end user to change over time, but they also expect to access them at the same location each time.
The other thing that is different is that the subtle borders around city blocks and things like that are gone. Those borders help increase contrast, making things easier to distinguish.

I wrote Akin To to scratch a personal itch - I find music recommendation systems really boring. I search for John Coltrane, they all recommend Miles Davis. That's obvious and uninteresting.

I wanted to make a system that could suggest Squarepusher and Steve Reich by using the underlying themes and qualities of the music to make relevant and novel recommendations.

This thematic information already exists in music reviews, I've extracted adjectives from them and used them as a way to search, explore and compare album reviews. It kind-of works. I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback.

At first I found this upsetting. But this is how games are. Good for him. His mission of taking the fun out of making games is really paying off. There are small, weird, indie games that can be fun to play, but there's no money in that. Millions of people play Call of Duty. He's making games tons of people love and making money doing it.

Seems like a bad idea. People think that once something is on the internet it's there forever but that's simply not the case. Hard drives develop errors, servers get shut down, backups get corrupted, etc. etc. Your stuff may be around for a long while but there's no guarantee that it will be permanently accessible. If you want the contents of a web page to be available to you then download said page to your computer and do proper backups, etc. This will increase the likelihood that said data will survive. This is not a problem with URLs.

If you're functioning on a level where diplomacy is a viable option, you're capable of building explosives without abuse of mundane fertilizer. Nobody serious about killing a lot of people for political gain is going to go "gosh darn it, we can't get IED-suitable fertilizer from the local gardening store, guess we'll actually have to talk to our enemies."

Timing is everything. This is why I look at the new page almost every time after I visit the main page of HN. But even at that, I miss a lot of submissions of good articles (which I often detect when I attempt to submit the same article later). That's just what happens when a site emphasizes "news," which means it emphasizes time stamps on submissions, but upvotes for articles occur by happenstance, as users go looking for articles. No one has time to read even all the good stuff here, much less every new submission exhaustively.

Sometimes it is hard to see when people are joking here.

I've been thinking about the idea of free migration for a while. Not in the context of eliminating poverty, but as the perfect implementation of democracy: Vote with your feet, go to wherever you like it best.

If all immigration and emigration restrictions were dropped everywhere, and anyone could freely move from any country to any country, and you were full citizen of whatever country you are living in at any given point, what would happen? Would democracy as political system prevail or would people simply move in and out of non-democratic countries depending on how their respective rules work for them? Would there be inhabitable regions on earth that are abandoned because everyone moved away? Would there be countries that attract all the "desirable" citizen while other countries collapse because they were left with "undesirable" citizens? Is there even such a thing as a generally "desirable" citizen or are people only desirable to some countries but not others? If one (but only one) of those open-border countries were to start implementing new immigration restrictions (that should be possible, after all you can leave if you don't like it), would this result in a net outflow of people and the ultimate collapse of this country? Or would the country strive and be home to some kind of elite group of people? Would the world move back to a state where every country has immigration restrictions, or would we find a different equilibrium?

I know next to nothing about immigration policy, but thinking of this as a game is quite interesting. I wonder if there are simulations where you can model scenarios like this?
Mapkeeper looks cool. I'll definitely read up on it some more.

Sky originally started out as a project to learn how to write a database and programming language. The storage was originally a block-based mmap format and the query engine was built on LLVM. It was a great learning experience but I am trying to take a higher level approach by delegating storage to LevelDB (or possibly LMDB instead) and the query engine uses LuaJIT. Focusing on a higher level use case (i.e. behavioral analytics) has given some crazy performance gains and great scalability.

I think once Sky matures more then it would be more interesting to be able to swap out the backends. I worry about having too many moving pieces. I'd also be concerned about copying data with the extra layers. It looks like LDMB does a zero copy which would be awesome.
No.

Intent is part of the law and action of a crime. I specifically added the self-defense part to my first post to illustrate that. Belief of the person is only important as view from the action and circumstances of the crime (eg. did this person knife the person because they were being attacked). It is generically applied to all people regardless of their own attributes (race, creed, etc.). The law is blind and we are all equal. Intent in the commission of a crime is a separate idea and has nothing to do with "hate crimes".
The spec deviation for newlines could be done in multiple ways, but the implementations you mention all choose to trigger block constructs (which includes lists, and also headings) on any start of line. It's because the syntax tweak is intended to avoid confusing people with context-dependent syntax (syntax appears not to work if there wasn't an empty line before), not to give an alternative way to generate <pre>.

That's iOS 6, not iOS 5. The original iPad is EOL'd on iOS 5.

There seems to be an implicit assumption that every body wants to emigrate to the US.

I don't that is true. If given the choice a lot of people would choose to stay. Sure, you can have more material things, but you will have to go to a strange place, far from friends and family, where you are just a stranger, that possible don't even speak the language.

People who decide to emigrate is because they have strong reasons. Either your situation is desperate or your are very courageous, or both. Leaving your country is really not easy.

Please re-read what I said. Freedom of religion is implied by basic human rights (freedom of thought, freedom of expression) and thus inalienable by social contract.

Ownership of personal firearms isn't, arguably (see the disclaimer in my first post).

"Even spreading that stock award out, though, puts Kotick's 2012 compensation at more than $20 million."

He'd just make the list of the top 20 highest paid baseball players. $20 million is a lot of money, no question about it, and it's a lot of compensation for any CEO. However, I fail to see why baseball players with so-so stats should make more than a guy running something worth as much as all of Major League Baseball combined.

Should they all make a lot less money? Why do I care? If I disagree with ATVI's compensation policies, I'm free to not own the stock (or even buy their products). If I don't like how much the Phillies are paying Cliff Lee, I'm free to never attend their games. And so on and so forth for the rest of the economic sphere of products and services and companies.

11:21 And at that time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakims from the
mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the
mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel: Joshua
destroyed them utterly with their cities.

11:22 There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the children
of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there remained.

11:23 So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD
said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel
according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from
war.

12:1 Now these are the kings of the land, which the children of Israel
smote, and possessed their land on the other side Jordan toward the
rising of the sun, from the river Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the
plain on the east: 12:2 Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in
Heshbon, and ruled from Aroer, which is upon the bank of the river
Arnon, and from the middle of the river, and from half Gilead, even
unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;
12:3 And from the plain to the sea of Chinneroth on the east, and unto
the sea of the plain, even the salt sea on the east, the way to
Bethjeshimoth; and from the south, under Ashdothpisgah: 12:4 And the
coast of Og king of Bashan, which was of the remnant of the giants,
that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei, 12:5 And reigned in mount
Hermon, and in Salcah, and in all Bashan, unto the border of the
Geshurites and the Maachathites, and half Gilead, the border of Sihon
king of Heshbon.

I guess part of what I am saying is that if there is a manual process involved in this (in addition to votes which might depend on time of day (which in itself varies depending on where you are located)) does it then make sense for someone who has the ability to put things on the 1st or 2nd page to review things that are posted at odd times?

Or better yet, why not take stories posted "x" hours ago and place them on either the 1st or 2nd page (sans "hours ago"[1] which makes it seem stale) to see if it gets any attention? Add: Similar to what is done with newly posted comments they spend some time at the top they don't go to the bottom.

[1] Less likely to read or comment on something that says "19 hours ago" and has 2 comments and is on the 2nd page for example. Why not bubble some things up randomly or maybe even depending on who submitted or by greping for certain keywords or?
This is how frequentist statistics works. You ask the wrong question ("the chance of the data occurring given the assumption") and use clean, rigorous, impeccable math to get an answer. Bayesian statistics is (usually) the opposite - you ask the correct question ("the chance of the assumption being correct") but find that there is no way without making some big assumptions to get to the answer.

Here's some good (possibly more "fair" than I've been above) discussion if anyone wants to read/think about this more:

Huh? That's such a pessimistic view of the world. I would say the opposite is true, statistically. There are far fewer psychopaths out to kill people than there are people who are not willing to do so. Thus in absence of any other facts about said someone, I would be willing to trust that someone, than to distrust that individual.

It's a shame that distrust is your default M.O.
