I can do that pretty trivially in any of three editors as well. I just did it now in about 20 seconds, just as a proof of concept.

I don't get the "repeat count" functionality that I know comes for free in vim, but at the same time, I rarely know HOW many lines I need to apply a macro to, and so just letting key-repeat take over until I'm almost done works for me. There are also times when the macro works on blocks of text, but there are occasional line breaks that would break the macro, and repeating until I get to a line break, skipping it, and then proceeding is easy.

When I AM in vim and I need to, for example, delete some large number of lines, I find myself trying to guess how many lines, but guess on the small size. Then I guess again, until I get close enough to see the exact number.

I probably should use "visual" mode more often for that particular task, but the point is that being able to repeat a macro an exact number of times is (for me) LESS useful than just being able to use key-repeat at 10/second until the task is done.
DevOps Gestalt: Monitoring and Managing Apps on Engine Yard with AppFirst
Well, well, mccolin replying to akane, long live Context Optional. And nice work akane.
Given my frequency of long distance trips, assuming the existence of charging stations along them, and knowing my other requirements for a vehicle[1] and balancing these issues against each other, I would happily buy the Tesla intending to take it on said long distance trips. Pass that Kool-Aid, I guess.

Just take a deep breath. I know, I know -- someone is wrong on the internet. But you don't have to fix that, nor tell other people what kind of car they should decide to buy or what sorts of feature in that vehicle they should value over others. Relax and have fun in your low rider pickup truck or whatever floats your boat.

[1] Which, sadly, don't include the need for an new vehicle right now. So no Tesla for me.
Hmm, good point. I blatantly assumed that you said what you said because you'd ascribe to the common HN idea that "tech == server + app/browser". My bad!

Nice list of examples.

Btw, I'm pretty familiar with using Linux as a server/embedded OS - the reluctance I uttered before was indeed very much about using it myself as a consumer OS - which is what these flamewars all seem to be about.
The alternative is that people will continue to use Flash, an even more obscure (and not to mention closed) format, which we are forced to take with even less inspection.

At least with <video> the only thing encrypted will be the actual video file.
This! The exact same way a regular ATM ensures deposits are legitimate.
Looks awesome! Nice work.
Who knows? I remember reading this story back when it originally published.

The fact he included the area code and exchange in the story lends a certain amount of credibility to his story as he was essentially inviting phreakers to have their own fun.

I have similarly-exhilarating stories that I won't go into. But they gave my teen-aged self a great deal of fun touching the fabled "cloak and dagger" world. So, it's believable to me. Back in those days, there wasn't such an emphasis on domestic COMSEC. Anyone remember romulus at a certain US IC agency?
That's a really good way of characterizing the Foundation vs Bootstrap split.

At this stage, it just seems weird to start a new web project and not use at least some framework.

As to the difference in number of components - the Bootstrap ecosystem is massive -checkout:

I've been slowly collecting links for a similar Foundation list and it hasn't been going so well.
I am not sure about the other plugins, but this is how it is different from the parent plugin (ref - https://github.com/jbutz/bootstrap-lightbox)

1. The parent plugin could attach to one element through the HTML changes. The JS change - you need to explicitly bind the lightbox to click event. In the current plugin - you do not need to edit any of the existing HTML. Just add one line of JS to view all the images (or probably a select few) in Lightbox on the page.

2. While providing this feature, it might not be evident to the user that clicking on the image shows it inside Lightbox. Hence the tooltip.
iOS, as well as pretty much all other smartphones, also disable tethering on carrier's request, it just disappears from the menu. This doesn't have anything to do with the Nexus 7.

It sucks and I don't know what the purpose is, given that data caps are already in place on top of that. At least carriers could be more transparent about the need to upgrade one's plan, instead of just disabling the feature on the phones.

(oh and also the Nexus devices are probably the easiest to circumvent the blocking of tethering, just root and get an tethering app)
The cycles are 12 months, otherwise you are correct.
Awesome. Thank you for putting this together. It looks like the consensus is the PostgreSQL documentation.

Congrats on your first app. One suggestion: the Ayn Rand quote is a little off-putting. I'd suggest a quote by someone less polarizing.
Yeah, this "plastic" ("airbrush"?) HDR like look can be achieved regardless of source material.

Though the fact that someone could be this... blind or heartless, I'm not sure what it is... to think this is a good "look" for this source material, might warrant a post on DehumanizationNews or something - while PoliticalNews commenters could point out that this hack job essentially turned a bunch of grieving people into an "advancing mob", and that the photographer is a total asshole for that etc.

Personally, today I learned one new thing, how to figure out the position of an unseen light source via hard shadows. Awesome!
I don't get this - where is the fullscreen mode? To me it's displaying just like any other lightbox.

On the subject of lightboxes, anyone seen a good alternative for use on mobile devices? Responsive designs need something so that on a phone they still aren't using the good 'ol lightbox script that works well on desktop...
There's something along those lines in Rocket Girls, whose author generally plays close attention to realism. (No idea if that specific part is "true" though)

This is actually the opposite in some states. My post below, for example:

Total wild ass guess, but I'd bet the total number of tweets for a region is roughly proportional to its total population. If that's true, the normalized results you see here will be very similar to the per-capita results. It'd be interesting to verify this, however. It would tell you "this region's twitter users are X% [more|less] 'hateful' than the region's general population."
This is where you'd want to be looking in the source:

If, as he says, he wants stories of people who "Just make a living," then Mixergy isn't the right site for him, and that's fine.

I got into entrepreneurship because I was scared of having a life where I just made a living. I feel like there's something great inside me. I haven't fully tapped it, but it's there and I want to learn how to express more of it.

I felt alone for most of my life because most people are like Daniel, they just want to make a living. I never felt like there was anything wrong with them. Hell, they're normal. I felt like there was something wrong with ME for wanting more. For feeling like I can do something extraordinary.

Doing Mixergy interviews reminds me that I'm not odd. Or at least that I'm not the only one who's odd. My interviewees and my audience are like me. We want something more. We're learning from each other about how to do it.

Most people reading this can't relate to that. It's fine. Striving to 'Just make a living' is incredibly honorable and I hope you find the site that tells those stories.

I hope there's one person out there who gets it. If you're reading this. I'll see you on Mixergy.

Dallas basically is. Also weird to see Austin being worse than Houston.
Actually, I'm back in Bangalore now working for a startup. The work is interesting, but the pay is only $18,000 for the same product management role that netted me $60 grand just out of college in San Mateo. Sure, I face absolutely no competition, since there is very little product talent here. Doesn't mean I'm going places in terms of a lifestyle or financial security. If I live like a peasant compared to my life back in the states, I save less money. What's disheartening is that so many goods and experiences are hitting dollar prices in this city right now. (Meat, nice produce, beer, good clothes).
Full-screen could actually be mis-leading. I meant Lightbox only. The original Lightbox plugin does resize the image to fit the screen, but probably all Lightboxes work like that.
I can't be sure of this. But my guess other than a USB drive like you mentioned would be, you simply input a Bitcoin address for them to be sent to.

This way you could send the Bitcoins to a personal wallet, online hosted wallet, or even straight to Mt. Gox.

Or perhaps it does something more physical like creating a new wallet for you and physically prints out the private key of the wallet for you to keep with you.
Since people who pay money for software overwhelmingly don't care about design quality (look at the most important systems they interact with every day --- VB.NET line-of-business applications, dumb terminal text interfaces, Powerschool --- to see why that is), anything that makes it simpler for application developers to get an app out the door without feeling like they have to wait until it's blessed by someone with an MFA is an unalloyed good thing.

I haven't played with flat design yet (my crutch for bad design is Bootstrap), but this is as compelling an argument for it as anything else I've read.
Practicality of porting was never a driving concern for Flash: it was business viability. I don't expect any more platforms to be supported than are today.
The 3d effect doesn't really make sense in this case, since it suggests that all the segments have actually equal width.
Bitcoin will always number crunch. Transactions are processed in blocks, even if there is no or minimal reward for solving the block. Income can be gained from transaction fees.
This is a great article, I particularly like how you admitted your mistakes and then showed the level of analysis it took to understand how to make the data say something honest and useful. Very good work here- compliments for getting a critic to be an ally (the statistics guy).

Not entirely sure if this is on-topic, but why do so many graphs when told to "smooth" results simply apply a bezier curve to the data points? It results in some maximum and minimum vertices appearing at values that don't exist.

I think Cmdr. Hadfield himself would like to be referred to - first and foremost - as an Earthling. This can be seen in his updates, often using the word "us", inclusively, even when the people in question are usually grouped as "them" in the popular rhetoric.

It is well known among astronauts how the experience of seeing the Earth from space makes such concepts as nation-states and national borders seem banal, silly, not something a space-faring species should concern itself with.
hstore is just based on a text format, so if it doesn't support it normally, you could just cast the results of each query to a new hstore, something like `select (data -> foo)::hstore -> bar`.

It's probably not a good idea though ;) You don't get any benefit of indices in that case, and I'm not sure what would happen with nulls.
A low population makes it easy for a small number of users to dominate the statistics.

I want to see that predefined rubric. I am unwilling to believe Iowans are more racist than Mississippians. Being racist in Iowa means hating like 3 people in the next county over.
Then you are competing directly with Basecamp with no obvious product differentiation. It's going to be tough to get traction going this way.

The fact that it can be purchased and installed is the differentiating factor and may target a market audience that's largely ignored.

While there is usually the potential for higher sales with a SaaS approach, that doesn't mean it's always the correct fit when entering a market.

I can imagine, how you fall in love with space and the view and your heart breaks a little (or a lot), when your time up there is nearing its end and you have to give it all up, knowing that it was a chance of a lifetime, never to be had again.

Not really the same because you can say "We don't support IE version x" and be done with it. There are much more variables at play in a server setup: PHP, MySQL, web server, OS etc.. Each of these can be running different versions and each instance (of PHP for example) can be configured completely differently from the next.

I agree with you @lucisferre, and for this reason I think the flat design trend will become obsolescent at a faster rate than most design trends usually do.

I also think that animation is going to become "the next big thing" and will be the primary differentiator between "meh" and "wow" apps.

Cara: Software that turns any camera  into an intelligent sensor
> Because algorithmic sentiment analysis would automatically classify any tweet containing 'hate words' as "negative," this project relied upon the HSU students to read the entirety of tweet and classify it as positive, neutral or negative based on a predefined rubric. Only those tweets that were identified by human readers as negative were used in this analysis.

I wonder how well a Bayesian classifier would work if the this was used as a training set. If it worked relatively well, there's no reason why you couldn't create a live version of the map.

Something like http://aworldoftweets.frogdesign.com/ maybe?
There's no way Montanans tweet just as often as Californians.
although it's not clear in the language used, the data seems to have been normalized per Tweet:

"Orange County, California has the highest absolute number of tweets mentioning many of the slurs, but because of its significant overall Twitter activity, such hateful tweets are less prominent and therefore do not appear as prominently on our map."
I don't really disagree, but you could make that argument about virtually anyone. This is just the rhetoric we use about influential people, there's nothing notably different about this article. He's a "leader" in the sense of being able to direct resources and have his opinions spread by the media.

The N-layer myth and basic dependency injection
This is why I unsubscribed from Greenspun's blog a long time ago (that and him deleting my comments); he makes some good points (Sandberg is indeed extremely exceptional and much of her views are ludicrous), but he buries them in a sea of bias and partisanship.

Easy exercise for readers: go through this post and a few previous posts, and count every use of 'meta' points like Ioannidis's paper against a claim. Notice any patterns?

And then there are the gratuitous digs...

> Sandberg identifies the same tendencies for underlings in a bureaucracy to hold their tongues that Max Weber noticed 100+ years ago (p85; no reference to Weber).

And why should there be any reference at all, Phil? Most people never read a page of Weber, and it's not an observation which requires uniquely keen insight or experience...
I think it's more perpetuated by the fact that executives and other corporate-folk are easily hypnotized by numbers, however irrelevant they may be. "Interestingly, peak purchases for our product in March occurred Monday through Friday between 7am and 4:30pm, with 807 people looked at page x before purchasing and 806 people looking at page y. Through running our data against national averages, we've found that our peak purchasing times align and are roughly proportionate to population density across the country." You can watch in amazement as every MBA in the room's eyes gloss over; a dopey smile overcomes them slowly as the data intoxicates them.

Throw in a line graph and a heat map and you're basically on a fast track to a promotion without even saying a single useful thing.

Ach, fair enough, if you can find your way around linux on the server you can have a stab at finding your way around it anywhere else.

What you use on your desktop comes down to personal preference and it's hard to think of many advantages to linux on the desktop compared to other environments, unless you're a habitual tinkerer like myself...
Author here. The `<<` operator is being abused to mean "bind", so the right side is a normal expression (constructing a Foo and Bar) and the left side matches it to a particular "shape".

The purposes of pattern matching is to replace code that looks like this:

if (isinstance(tree, BinOp)
and type(tree.left) is Name
and type(tree.op) is Mod
and tree.left.id in module.expr_registry):
...

with code that looks like this

if BinOp(Name(id), Mod(), body) << tree
and id in module.expr_registry:
...

Which looks much nicer, and more clearly says what you want: that `tree` "looks like" a particular shape.

EDIT: Here's another example. Turning this:

if ((isinstance(tree, ClassDef) or isinstance(tree, FunctionDef))
and len(tree.decorator_list) == 1
and tree.decorator_list[0]
and type(tree.decorator_list[0]) is Name
and tree.decorator_list[0].id in module.decorator_registry):
...

into:

if ((isinstance(tree, ClassDef) or isinstance(tree, FunctionDef))
and [Name(id)] << tree.decorator_list
and id in module.decorator_registry):
...

Doesn't quite work yet, but we're getting there
Satisfaction amongst users of the product is a very poor proxy for popularity amongst the general population. One reason for this is that if someone is unhappy with iOS, there is a good chance that they will switch to Android or another platform, and hence remove themselves from the iOS pool. Another big reason is that making a device that appeals very much to a niche segment will give you a much better score than a product aimed at a broader user base - so the "popular" product will almost always end up with a lower satisfaction score.
Very interesting how it's only using one div and border hacks per segment. So I guess in theory this would work on older browsers, other than just content clipping in IE8, IE7, etc.
