Debuggify does much more than just tracking javascript exceptions through window.onerror.

For starters

- provide apis to track custom exceptions though try catch

- enables you to track errors for cross origin scripts

- support minified code through source map

- track the users so its easy to understand the impact of problem.

- supports modular logging same as server side

- track custom events

- search though the data

And much more

Welcome to a very individualistic and, by consequence, antisocial society. As an American that's never stepped foot in California, this sounds surprisingly familiar, albeit with the unique addition of free food and free beer at work.
Health Product Concept Could Revolutionize Fitness - Crossfit style
I can't tell exactly the point you're trying to make. Obviously there are specific cases ("schizophrenics" here, I guess) who are going to be very hard to treat in any safety net, and the US has no monopoly on them.

But the point was broader, that relative to the rest of the industrial world the US has far more people at the "bottom" , falling out of the net. Walking around cities in Europe, you generally don't find people sleeping on park benches or camping under highway interchanges, etc... In most US cities, that's fairly routine. And many of us consider that a bad thing.

Note that none of that excuses the poorly informed and counterproductive moralizing in the linked article. The author is a jerk. But the problem is real.
Spam and customer engagement are totally different things.

When you sign up to evaluate something, you're kicking off a sales and evaluation process.

If you are at a restaurant and a good waiter notices that you're picking at some crackers instead of eating your meal, it's normal for them to approach you and see if everything is ok with your meal. You may not want to talk to the waiter, but his job is to make you satisfied with your meal, tip him, and return to the restaurant.

If you ask to waiter to leave you alone and he persists, that's a problem that should be addressed. Likewise, if you don't want to hear from <Vendor X>, you should make your feelings known and get an appropriate response.
In a recent timescale, there was a multi-billion dollar bailout of failed institutions. It was pretty big news. Most of the banking sector would have gone bust without it, which would, as happened in Iceland, have left verdant territory for a new breed to spring up in.

In a more general scale, the entire banking sector is propped up by protectionist policies that allow:

> Fractional lending (this is called reserve banking) on a minimal reserve. It's pretty odd that banks can do this, but, say, you, can't.

> Setting of core econometric KPIs by people who stand to benefit directly from those KPIs. LIBOR and EURIBOR are recent examples of this, but market fixing has been going on since forever, and is endorsed passively through a lack of legislation to do anything about it, and a lack of will to prosecute.

> No other banks to exist, without jumping through serious hoops, and tying themselves in a death-grip to one of the "special" banks.

> Immunity to prosecution for bad actors. Corporate personhood is applied with amazing selectivity. If you're a juggernaut, no worries. If you're a small guy, enjoy federal prison.

> Indiscriminate money laundering and funding of illegal activities overseas. HSBC just got busted for proactively helping out the cartels in Latin America, and got a slap on the wrist. They're not alone in this kind of thing - look at Brown Brothers Harriman. They funded Nazi Germany. Prosecution? Nah. Wild profits that span generations.

I could go on and on and on, but the moment that you treat any particular person or entity "specially", you're on the road to hell, as you've just interfered with a self-regulating system, as free (but blanket regulated) markets are, and you'll need to interfere more, and more, and more, and suddenly you're telling factories that they should only make size seven shoes for the next two years to fulfil their quota.
That's a cute high-tech solution. A simpler one is to put a horizontal bar, the same height as the tunnel's ceiling, which will physically stop the truck before causing millions worth of damages. It's often done in France, sometimes with an early warning: a first arch with chains hanging to the maximal height. It makes a lot of noise on the truck's top, but won't destroy it.

When transmitting information on screens, you can only fit ~7 lines of ~7 words each at a readable font. This inhibits the transfer of complex narratives.

Every city is the way it is because of the people that come into it. Now different people are coming in and things are changing.

San Francisco is a place that people historically migrate to when looking for gold. The aspects of the culture that creates, the ones you like, anyway, are unpredictable and subject to change.
Sure, but 99.9% of people who get into weightlifting also fail to achieve a 400lb bench-press. Most people don't need to be that strong.

I'm 5'6", and by doing only basic bodyweight exercises, push-ups, pull-ups, and dips, I could bench press 180lbs 10 times at a body weight of 155. That's not bad at all in my opinion.
Maybe it is enough to just try something different? Certainly somebody can break this, but if its something new, it requires some effort. Compare that to some well-known captcha system which you can break for something $2 per thousand captchas.
Do I really need to go into the gym to get something heavy to lift? I happen to have something heavy already at my house: my fat self.

Right now I do nothing other than jogging or strenuous hiking, and I recognize that I need to add strength training. More than half of these seem to be strength exercises.

I don't understand all the weird schisms and cliques that pop up on HN when fitness topics are discussed. From an idiot's perspective, it seems like I could get good strength gains with these exercise and my (already-considerable) body weight.
500 Startups announces latest batch of accelerator companies
I just visited the site, Anyperk.com, and I cannot find any definitive information on the specific discounts. It says "up to 50%", but 1% off is covered by "up to 50% off".

It needs to allow you to see the specific discounts on each offer.

Curing hunger and housing the homeless doesn't, the last time I checked, require creativity or programming talent. Growing food and constructing buildings are what we geeks like to call "mature technology", and thus not something we concern ourselves with except at the margins where changes in efficiency have economic impact.
If you were coding this I'm sure you'd jumble the start point anyway.
There is a disparity between rich and poor in this country, sure, but come on. Most of the homeless in SF actually want to be on the streets.

So many of them are young and it used to make me sad but I have just learned to accept it. I always make a point to package up leftovers and hand them out. I'll even reach into my wallet and hand out a few dollars too.

If there were more I could do though, I would be more than happy to donate some of my time, as I'm sure many in this city would too.

Also, is more public housing the answer? Not sure about that one. They all look like government buildings with horrible fluorescent off-green lighting filled with junkies and drug addicts far from being cured.
The same is true for Los Angeles. I've been in an office building while people were discussing six-figure sums like they were nothing, when outside in the alley below there were literally homeless people in a knife fight over a candy bar.
BlackBerry Messenger goes cross-platform on iPhone, Android this summer

This is indeed interesting, and this is why I'm missing something like func <A, B> Map(f func(A) B, input []A) []B that would statically check the A and B types at a call site.

BTW it looks like less work at compile time than the elaborate run-time solution that you linked to. It probably will not even require generation of specialized versions for primitive types.
Yup sorry, that is what I meant to write: "should not".
its because most instructions are unhelpful and a waste time to read, so we're conditioned to ignore them.

Yes, it's more complicated, but it doesn't really have much in the way of demands on the language used for implementation. It may royally suck to do, but you can write a compiler with nothing more than logic, data structures, and file I/O. That was my point.

> Also, you would want a compiler written in a high-level language (versus C) precisely because you want to speed up the development of new features.

Sure, but you'll need to pull people away to do that and will either have to stop your C-based compiler effort or resign yourself to prolonging the Go-based compiler development by playing catchup. In the meantime you aren't really as productive as you could have been. Go seems like it's about to slow down on language-level changes, which is the perfect time to start working on a Go-based compiler.
You could also say that "San Francisco is a place that people historically migrate to to subjugate native populations and force them to adopt a new culture and religion". Does that make it ethically defensible? Or did we not learn anything from the last few hundred years?

I should also point out that the reason companies started coming to San Francisco in the first place was because of the culture that is currently being displaced, largely by people who don't care about the culture at all.
Most of the homeless in SF actually want to be on the streets.

That is perhaps the most ignorant sentence I have ever read on HN. Most homeless people don't have a choice. If they do have a choice, the fact that they choose to live on the streets likely speaks to the horrific situation they would face at their home. I can assure you that no one wants to be homeless.
I agree with you and I wouldn't like getting all those emails, but I imagine all this has been tested and this produced the best results. If that is the case, we can't really say this is too much.
Well, #lang racket is not scheme, but one can run rnrs in the racket runtime. There are many languages that run on the racket runtime.
Poverty on the other hand is a much, much harder problem than that. In fact, no one quite knows how to solve it in a general way (there are things that seem to work in certain contexts but not in others, many special case half-solutions).

Everyone keeps saying that, as if there were only two alternatives: 1) completely fix poverty in a general way or 2) keep the status quo (and allow it to get worse).

There has to be some way to get from the current wealth inequality [1] to something more humane.

You need a great number of many to create a pool large enough to get those precious few that can advance humanity enough to do all of that providing by the few.

Humanity could be two people living in a grass hut finding just enough berries to eat each day, but it wouldn't be much fun.

Maybe then people can stop posting "Well, Go on 386 architecture has bugs, so don't use it for anything."

Indeed - perfectly familiar, have read my share of Tocqueville, Hayek, Hobbes and all the rest, but the fundamental point that divides socialism and liberalism is that of freedom of people, vs. freedom of the people - i.e. individualism vs. socialism.

Liberalism has always been about social justice, and the idea that each and every human should be free to run or ruin their own lives (Positive vs. Negative freedom), with a slant towards the positive through regulation and the rule of law.

as a lifelong newspaper reader i check the byline. i'd argue knowing who the author is is normally important, especially in the case of op-eds.
From their perspective, they can't really know whether the sign is accurate or out of date.

When you get somewhere and ask "Is this the address X?", it's not because you have absolutely no idea where you are, but rather because you're only 97% sure and hence would like a simple "yep" confirmation to reassure yourself.
A similar solution is used in my area yet perplexingly it still doesn't seem to stop it happening... so I think new ideas like this are definitely a good thing.
Koolyoom: Snap to Discover for iPhone
IANAL, so take this with a grain of salt. Did they specifically use the term "IP?" Patents are IP, but IP is not necessarily patents. They could be talking about copyright, and possibly even trademarks. For copyright, if you wrote the code from scratch, you own the copyright, and you aren't infringing copyrighted IP. For 3rd party code that you reuse, you'd just need to demonstrate that you comply with the respective licenses.

Like chris_dcosta said, the best course of action is to ask for clarification. You might ask what exactly they'd like to see proven and how others typically go about proving the same (i.e. ask for examples).
That sounds sketchy as hell.
Yeah, it's almost like Google had a reason for shuttering Reader that is almost completely unlike any other product they offer. If they close the unprofitable Reader, obviously the massively profitable [insert product here] will be next!

The receipt printer is a network printer; it needs an ethernet cable. The iPad connects to the printer over wifi. The receipt printer is connected to the cash drawer by, essentially, a telephone cable. The printer tells the drawer to open through that line; the iPad does not directly communicate with the cash drawer.

I am using Windows 8 on a non touch notebook for a time now (including the pre-versions). I find that the Modern UI in my daily work is irrelevant, I think of it as full-screen start menu.

I wouldn't change back to Windows 7 (and I loved Windows 7, because of the new features (Windows 8 boots and wakes up way faster). In addition, there IS a complete desktop UI in Windows 8 and so far, I can run every program that i was able to run in Windows 7.

Interestingly my Winodws 8 usage changed completely when I was reviewing the Lenovo Yoga and the Dell XPS. Both have an additional Tablet-Mode you can switch into. I did most of my work in the desktop mode, using mouse, keyboard etc (not even thinking about the touchscreen). When I surfed (you know, the typical couch scenario) I immediately switched to the modern ui and its apps an browsers, because it was just more comfortable.

I'm not sure if I'm the model for every user, but I really liked the idea of having the desktop and the tablet mode available when I need them. I wouldn't want to go back to the One-Size-Fits-All approach.

Two thoughts:

1. There is probably something in the EULA for Skype that MS put in there to cover themselves with respect to this.

2. If there is not, it might be more effective to try and bring a multitude of small claims court cases against them. A tactic that worked against Dell in at least one instance: http://consumerist.com/2006/12/13/man-sues-dell-and-wins-by-...
"Most of the homeless in SF actually want to be on the streets."

Gerak Gempur Jerawat- Cara Menghilangkan Jerawat Yang Dilupakan
Cara Menghilangkan Jerawat Yang Dilupakan.

Tahukah anda bahawa jerawat merupakan gangguan terbesar keatas kulit yang telah mempengaruhi ribuan orang di seluruh dunia?

Jerawat biasanya berlaku pada wajah, leher, dada dan punggung, dan ia kerap
menyerang seseorang itu ketika di awal peringkat remaja. Jerawat bukan sahaja menyerang permukaan kulit bahkan sehingga kedalam lapisan kulit.

Dan ini kerap mengakibatkan kesakitan dan ketidakselesaan berterusan pada penghidap jerawat.
Sorry, I don't like to gripe but I have to whine about the site design. I scroll while reading. As a habit I typically keep my focus toward the top of the page. With your page the stuff I'm about to read disappears just before I want to read it. It's incredibly frustrating.

Then when I scroll back up to try to make the text reappear it doesn't unless I either wait for the fade transition to finish before scrolling up or scroll up an additional segment. Except when this happened on the first segment I couldn't scroll up an additional segment so I needed to refresh the page.

You can probably fix this by adding a bunch of whitespace between scroll transitions, or by fixing the animation step to the scroll event rather than using a timeout event (I didn't look at your source, but I assume at some level that's what's happening).

Either way the nontraditional design is superfluous, frustrating, and distracting from your goal. I assume you want people focused on your content and ultimately your goal rather than your design. You might have better luck with a traditional blog layout.

> I'm also a person. Programming is just one thing I do.

This is not universally true. Yes, we're all people, but some people don't want to serve as tech support, marketing, etc, themselves. Some people just want to show up and work in a specific, technical problem.

HN isn't filled with that type, I don't think, but they certainly do exist. And I'd guess they're the majority, too.
Game consoles are the least objectionable type of device to contain copy protection. Single-purpose, closed systems. But anything that knows your reading or viewing habits, anything that contains personal data beyond a pseudonymous avatar, should be out of bounds for software you don't control. Spyware goes hand in hard with copy protection.
I realized that, I guess my point is it's odd behavior. I would still want to get to the homepage if I was logged in. I'd especially want to get to the homepage if I was logged into a demo account. I was trying to show a coworker the homepage.

You can get a 40 year mortgage at many banks now. I doubt 40 year mortgages will ever catch on. The banks generally charge a higher interest rate for the longer term so the payments aren't much cheaper than a 30 year loan.
