Have you ever seen an Aston Martin, a ferrari, a lambo or a rolls royce? They all look fantastic. If you can charge 80k+ for a car you can invest time in making it look good.

But jquery mobile was mentioned in the article and it's lack of "native" look.

If someone is interested in developing mobile apps using JS framework I would like to suggest dojox.mobile from dojotoolkit, it DOES have native themes ios,android 2.3, android 4.x holo (and maybe more), iv'e built a big mobile app with it and it worked like a charm - it's used directly + some of the app views are used in our native app(yeah we have that too) - to speed up development.

Honest question; I used fluxbox for some time. As a minimalist I loved it in the beginning. But, as soon as I started using it for developing/coding I did not find it intuitive at all. I, especially, found it hard to manage multiple windows.
Now I'm on Gnome and the combination of plank and the panel makes it amazing to work on.

I'm relatively new to Linux and installed fluxbox over Mint 14. Also, I don't exclusively use the terminal.

How are you able to manage it on fluxbox?
It's not conservative law makers that are in the way. It's car dealerships. That type of local law is very common and widespread. Expect Tesla to submit to it eventually.
Some of the problems like responsive design and webkit versions are remedied by dojotoolkits mobile component, it's worth to check that out.

I have IOS/Android application that worked very well for us.
I never heard of subvocalizatin before, fascinating! Any (non-historical) reasons it is considered separate from synesthesia?
Because they are sending urls you type in back to MS and MS is storing them?

They also claim it's a secure communciations platform. If it was actually secure, why would microsoft be able to see it?
Thank you for the feedback,will add a cache plugin.
If the end result of the comment means the the OP is in a better position after next months paycheck, then some stark words are the most valuable thing he can here right now. If you can't afford to pay for a speeding ticket you are living beyond your means, technically speaking.

Thanks, this is great advice.
because contrary to the opinion of all the linux bloggers, most of the gnome team's design decisions are actually pretty good. they've been progressing towards a stripped down simple UI that fades into the background and lets you focus on your application and your work for a while now.

if gnome were a new project to make linux pretty, everybody would be talking about how awesome it is. it's only a problem because they're taking the old gnome that people were used to and changing it. and people are afraid of change.
You could make 3-10x $12/hr on Odesk. You can get a cell phone for much less than $70/month.
Google "Hindawi journal scam". These guys regularly send me spam soliciting publications, and are most likely a thinly veiled paper factory. I wouldn't trust a thing I read in a Hindawi "journal".
I think that if we here in HN have spare time we could create a very solid P2P protocol that has plausible deniability of encryption (you cannot outlaw exchanging UDP packets of random data)
And the problem with the government overreach can easily be solved by educating the public - then fighting "drug lord pedophile hacker Muslim terrorists" just wont pass everything with the public.

This is theoretically what freenet is all about. I'd love to see it take off more for just this kind of thing.
Do you lose any of Emacs' advantages/capabilities/features when you run it in terminal mode (emacs -nw) instead of windowed?
But to be fair, I don't think everyone reacts as negatively to this type of criticism as you do.

Point. I also tend to defend others more ferociously than I defend myself. I've been taken farther into the public than I'd prefer and I don't feel a need to hide that I've made bad decisions (mostly, a few terrible picks regarding companies) in the past.
I feel sorry for the Gnome guys - they get crucified if they do or don't advance the platform, yet look across and see other fruit flavoured platforms pull worse on their user base yet their fan base not only approves of it, but they somehow justify in the most Stockholm syndrome walled garden kind of way.

Yes, absolutely. Read the article though - she read an RFID card, which yes, can be read by anyone,using any reader available on the marker. This is NOT how new contactless cards are implemented - new ones use NFC for active transmission, which requires a valid authorization key to release their details. With RFID she could've read anything she wanted from these cards.
Sound like you need to hate the players, and not the game...

Sorry if that's cliche, but your justification sounds more like it is rooted in your experience with badly developed programs, not so much a bad language.

I've been working with PHP for a long time. I've worked with other languages as well, but for the last 10 years career-wise PHP has been my bread and butter. And I've seen plenty of bad PHP as well, I absolutely don't deny that. As one of the most popular and most accessible languages out there, it's inevitable that lots of beginners will produce low quality code.

But I've also seen plenty of very good PHP code.

I've worked on quite a few large-scale PHP projects that were delivered on time and on budget, have maintained good performance under extremely high loads, and have had no security issues over years of time in production environments (including banking and automotive).

Want to know why? Because we wrote the applications properly, we tested them well, and we knew what we were doing.

I'm sure equivalent teams can do just as well with Java or .NET (or whatever else), but our stack expertise is with PHP, so that's what we choose because that's what we are best with.

Any tool in the hands of a bad craftsman will produce shoddy results. And as I said before, PHP's popularity is certainly a dual-edged sword, but I believe the good outweighs the bad...

So unless you can name some magical framework or language that can prevent mediocre or inexperienced developers from making mistakes or producing bad code, I think you're being narrow-minded and unfair in your criticisms..
While that is one phenomenon terrorism is helping along, to ascribe a single goal to a large and disparate group of assholes seriously oversimplifies the problem.
No need to "stalk" anything, said comment is on this very page.
> Dolphin is still an awkward kid compared to Konqueror

Are you kidding? Dolphin is probably the best graphical file manager in existence. It's streets ahead of anything on Linux, OS X or Windows.

The only thing I miss on OS X is actually Dolphin.
I've had mixed feelings on all of this for a while. I think as developers, we're all keenly aware that there's just no silver bullet. I can't say I'd necessarily always steer others away from PhoneGap, because it may be perfect for their project and team. But as mentioned, the abstraction remains very leaky; you still have to deal with a lot of pretty frustrating scenarios that can just eat away your time.

I've also found performance to be an issue, especially if you're using animation-heavy UI to try and simulate a native experience.

Lately I prefer Xamarin's approach. The downsides have been discussed in this thread: cost, and you lose some of that open source advantage (also perhaps binary bloat--I haven't had a chance to check that out). But I think writing views separately but having common core logic, networking, etc., meshes well with how I want to work.

HTML5 is great, and I enjoy using it for web sites. But I've just never been able to get fully satisfied with it in the app space. Maybe someday!

In short, saving time is a worthy goal, surely, but producing the best quality output you can is also a worthy goal, and those two have to be balanced as appropriate for any given project. I feel that PhoneGap leans a little too much in one direction and I'm hoping Xamarin can help me find the sweet spot.

The dilution is peanuts compared to the premium they paid in the first place for Elon Musk's reality distortion field.

edit: to further explain what I have apparently not (judging by the speed with which I got the first downvote), what I am saying is that Tesla trades at a massive premium to any normal way of valuing a public company - far more than the dilution of another offering. Clearly, the people investing in Tesla are not worried about dilution, and are betting on the Big Plan and the ability of Elon Musk to create something absolutely freaking massive. Either that, or they're just not doing the math. But I'd bet on the former.
It's kind of obtuse. If you have to type out "$_", you might as well declare it and give it a good name.

I personally have no issues doing:

foreach @array {
chomp;
print;
}

But as soon as I have to type "$_" I make a real variable.
Ah, I see, that makes sense. I don't know what I was thinking. Of course selling stock is dilution, it's not like the company has extra stock it is holding in itself.
But that's my job :(
When I was in 8th grade I did an experiment that found that mold grew better nearer a cathode ray tube computer monitor. I had, however, in retrospect, failed to control for the CRT monitor being a source of heat and light (if not much). I also did not verify it wasn't just due to the one side if the table being closer to something unrelated in my basement. I did very well in the science fair anyway (I have a plaque somewhere, and I think I had gotten it for the state-wide level), as for a "school experiment" the competition bar is quite low, and there are a ton of other factors on which you are being judged than "scientific accuracy". This kind of research is really no better than the people reporting homemade experiments constantly whom we often label "crackpots".
Because it's a separate phenomenon? Synesthesia is explicitly about different senses crossing paths, and does not apply only to reading. For example, synesthetes might see colours in conjunction with smells.
Read how that application works!!!!
This is not stealing cards - this is literally capturing signal from the terminal and sending it to a card elsewhere, so the card is still authorized with proper key.
And that means that you are NOT getting the card details for yourself, and that you still need access to a registered and authorized payment terminal.
> A large number of software projects is behind schedule and over budget. Why? Because developing software is hard and humans are bad at estimating effort. Now why should we make the situation even worse by using tools that are not as good as possible while we are completely aware of the flaws (and good things) in our current tools?

The above has much less to do with PHP and more to do with the lack of experience of the developers, I would say..

"Tools as good as possible" is an extremely subjective thing, and there is no magical tool or framework that works perfectly in all hands.

Developers should choose the tools that are best suited to the job at hand, and "best suited" doesn't just mean the functionality and features, it also encompasses developer proficiency.
I prefer OPs method of digitalising the books. I'd feel bad for destroying the books and throwing them away instead of giving them away to some charity once I got my digital copy.
I think users complained quite a lot for tiny changes in OSX such as inversion-of-scrolling-gesture, new expose behaviour, mission control, and plenty more.

But I don't remember apple removing many features from the finder or changing the menu bar since OSX was launched, so I think your simile is misaimed.

> Aren't you curious why the majority of programmers have dark hair or brown eyes? Sometimes it doesn't matter.

Is that actually true? If there's a statistically significant difference compared to the population as a whole, then I am definitely interested in why.

I don't understand where you're coming from at all. You care about women in the tech industry, you want more good people in the industry, but you don't care at all about social forces that might be driving people away? Not even enough to wonder about what they are?

When there's obviously something driving people away from tech, then I'm sorry, but you can't say "I don't care let's stop talking about this" and pretend that that's a neutral position.
Why not sue the guy for slander? It did real and measurable damage, the potential employer has a record of the conversation, and the former employer has the true record of her work there. Seems like a slam dunk to this non-lawyer.
Dilution is always bad. It means you own less of the company. It's necessary in order to finance a company like Tesla, but bad nonetheless.

But the price of Tesla is not based on such things like cash flow and future profits. So I'm not sure it is bad - for now.
Douches like you are one of the reasons I'm considering leaving HN.

That's what happens when you speak your mind and do your research: The pitchforks come out. Don't disagree, don't judge, and for the sake of all that's right on the internet, don't offer advice when it's clearly needed.

Perhaps leaving HN for a while would help many of us. Step back, smell the flowers, save the rest of us some of the internet rancor that shouldn't even show up here.

> I've only got 2 1/2 years of experience.

I know a guy 1 year out of school charging $80/hour. Businesses pay for stuff getting done, not experience.
If you create more stock, you dilute the ownership of current holders. It's inherent in the concept of an offering, and very much legal.
It would be awesome if the linked comparison chart wasn't full of errors (the Tesla apparently has NO features), included ranges (even best guesses) for each of the vehicles and mentioned whether the stated range of the Tesla was for the base price model.
There is an earlier post about that.

Does GMail make money? When it first came out, it seemed almost like a gift to the community which they made because they needed email and built it. It was great for email, but it was hard to see where the piles of money would come from. Now, I think they've become more business oriented and try to extract revenue from everything.
Point 1. is easy enough to act on, but point 2 is less clear. I'd love it if you could summarize a couple examples of it in practice.

No problem, and thanks again for sharing the research. :) As a native English speaker who is struggling to learn a second language, I can relate and appreciate how tough it is to remember those weird quirks. (Not to mention that English is especially quirky.)
From the WMAP edition at: http://faculty.washington.edu/jcramer/BBSound_2003.html

>Q: How can you represent it as a sound? Sound is supposed to be a wave that travels through air, and there was no air in the early stages of the Big Bang?

>A: The Big Bang Sound in the simulation is derived from the sound propagating as compression waves through the plasma/hydrogen medium of the early universe some 100 to 700 thousand years after the initial Big Bang. The density of this medium was changing as the universe expanded, but should have been considerably more dense than air on our little planet. One does NOT need air to have sound, only some medium in which compression/rarefaction waves can propagate. The sound waves were very low in frequency and had wavelengths comparable to some fraction of the size of the universe. For the convenience of humans, who could not hear such low frequencies, I have increased them to the audio range of the human ear.

Why are you so vague about this killer idea?
My suggestion would be to look into a workaround inside of GA.

Eg: Create a new suite within GA (UA-XXXXX-2), and use the new ID for a subset of your page views. Look into how your page views are happening across your site and plan on distributing the analytics to fall under 10M. For instance, use your main ID for landing, top and trending pages and a second one for the rest of the site. If you are near or over 20M views you might want to consider a third or forth ID.

Good luck!

===

Edit: On a second thought, one of our sites reports over 10M a month and we never run into issues. GA doesn't process more than a small percentage of visits for the reporting, so your issue might not be related to the 10M cap.

So 2 years after the appearance of Gnome Shell someone still doesn't get that Gnome tries to simplify the whole interface and that Gnome has been trying to create a simple interface for the majority of people for many many years. Big news.

Good thing is you have alternatives from MATE to KDE, Xfce, E17, etc. etc. It's not like you're forced to use Nautilus either.

Personally i never understood the hatred towards change. In the beginning of Gnome 3 it was really extreme and now it's slowly getting better (with the complaints) because people become accustomed to it. It's GOOD that Gnome tries to make it simple, because we all wish for a Linux computer our parents could use. That's just not going to happen with the options-and-complex-information everywhere approach.

After all Gnome Shell isn't that bad and i'm sure a guy posting on HN who uses Linux on his Desktop has the skills to check his available diskspace without the status bar ;)
But my point is exactly that the country and currency tied together too tight. I want to choose my country (non-US) for delivery calculation and USD for payment - because the card I use for Amazon is nominated in USD and because currency of my country is just too volatile.
Weird coincidence. The password system had checksum variables so that it would be very unlikely for a password someone enters to be valid. However Justin Bailey just happens to succeed that checksum and also the game thinks it's a valid password it has generated. There is no coding within the game to make Justin Bailey specifically work.
I am no lawyer, but I think promissory estoppel only applies if you relied on the job offer in some way... for example, if you terminated your lease, resigned from your current job, or something like that.
Have you ever had potential-sponsors request ownership of certain subreddits (for $, if it comes down to it)? I understand for big subreddits that wouldn't make sense (e.g., userbase would not take it kindly if r/funny was just bought (i.e. made ruling moderator of r/funny) one day by some media company). But I'm curious what would be the result of, say, the bicycling company Trek trying to become owners of the r/bicycles subreddit.
The "resonating" explanation is wrong. Please stop propagating this mistake.

From Wikipedia: "Sometimes, microwave heating is explained as a resonance of water molecules, but this is incorrect; such resonances occur only at above 1 terahertz (THz)."
That's what I heard wayyy back in the 90's too. I subscribe to the theory that it was a Nintendo tester with an apropos name.

I didn't say it in the post, but NARPAS SWORD, unlike Justin Bailey, is specifically coded into the game.

Thanks for the pointer, I just switch to PCManFM. Anyway, using the version in Ubuntu 12.10 can sort by clicking on the column headers.

Also, as someone who does not use a full DE, I appreciate the fact that the defualt is not to start managed the desktop when you start PCManFM, as opposed to Nautilus which defaults to managing the desktop when you open it. I still don't get why managing the desktop is always the same program as the file explorer, but Windows does the same thing, so their might be some deeper reason than 'becuase nautilus is doing it'

Well, if there are two inner interfaces called "Callback" like

public class Foo {
interface Callback {}
}

public class Bar {
interface Callback {}
}

The last time I asked Eclipse to find all implementors of Bar.Callback, it actually returned ALL instances of any interface called "Callback" as if it is just doing a String search and not actually using type hierarchy information in the search.

Eclipse auto-assist often popups up tons of bullshit that is not relevent, like asking to import say, a class called 'Util', Eclipse would often show all kinds of entries from private com.sun.* classes in the JRE/JDK first. It's as irritating and choosing what Country you're form in a Web Form and it has Afghanistan first and United States at the end, even though it should know from locale or Geo-IP how to sort better.

Maybe this has been fixed recently, but it has always worked the way it should in IntelliJ. IntelliJ also handles Maven better. And it handles integration between Java and other DSL languages better. IntelliJ's PSI model of code is far richer than JDT.
Can you prevent functions you call from accessing variables in your scope?

Perl's access control model uses a metaphor of polite permission. Without hardware enforcing memory protection, any memory protection at the language level is a modest barrier for the determined anyhow.
I'd never heard of them before. I wonder if they keep the old scans and resell duplicate books. They could make a bunch of extra money on half.com or similar. Depending on how they're scanning the books it'd also save time. Then again, it could be that they're required to destroy the scanned book in order for it to be legal.
