It also results in ugly rendering issues with browsers that save previously submitted form data, overlaying it on top of the placeholder text or replacing it even if it's the wrong data for that field type.
Wow, I didn't realize they could openly advertise that!
This sounds nice, but the truth is I'm usually good and sometimes nice. Sometimes I can't even tell for sure. Are you certain you aren't oversimplifying? Don't you really want people who define good the same way as you do? For example, some people think a good email must have lots of introductory information and something like Xs and Os at the end. May they arrive at work early and endure many long meetings.
Fair points. At least you have a reasoned argument :-)
Depends on the type of car (hackable computer, fuel injection) and weather you go for a complete conversion or run both petrol and cng (extra fuel rail or reuse old one).

If you have a Honda you can easily reprogram the ECU to compensate for running a different type of fuel (you would simple need to replace the fuel system, which means just a high pressure tank and a regulator) I could see this working for ~$1500.

On other cars you might need a piggyback computer. (source: I converted my car to ethanol which has a few similarities)
I get your concerns - this is precisely why we added adaptative subtitles as one of our first features. So people could say: "I'm a beginner, keep 80% of the subtitles in my native language", vs. "I'm a more advanced speaker, let's go ahead and put 100% of the subtitles in English".

Also, I think you'll find that the cost of things in Eastern Europe is commensurate with their earnings. You can't compare the cost of things there with the cost of things in America, just like you can't compare the cost of a home in India vs. the cost of a home in San Fransisco.
Well, natural gas, that's mostly methane. The good thing about methane is that there are reasonable pathways leading to it from waste inputs, so if we ever switch to synthetic methane, you won't have to upgrade your natural-gas-powered stuff.

Technologies change. The best path to follow can change. Switching paths over two years is surely acceptable and reasonable for any company. Claiming that Canonical "pretended" is false and misleading - or do you have any evidence of this?

FWIW, I had two bike crashes in the span of one week where I hit my head. They were both in races though. However, I was going more than 30km/h, and I got zero concussions. I am glad I was wearing them.
They're just weird enough that they are off most people's radar and small enough that installing them is quick.

They're always in my "secret weapons" arsenal when I need to checklist a slow PHP/Drupal installation, especially when they're hosted on VPC or AWS.
While admittedly not a fair assessment, when you compare the value that Wordpress has added to the internet ecosystem versus Tumblr, I would argue that Wordpress has had an astoundingly greater impact. There's really no fair comparison to be made between these two platforms but it's still interesting for me to think about.
> But, Afghanistan was the base of the 9/11 attack on the US that killed 3000 innocent US civilians.

No, it bloody was not. Many of those people hadn't even been in Afghanistan. The ones who were, and who "received training" had mostly received that in the context of fighting Russia. The myth of the 9/11 training camp in Afghanistan is entirely made up. Terrorist camps themselves are a myth. Militias train in the hills with weapons, terrorists don't execute those attacks and don't need/get that training.

Further, you've killed over 200 people, almost every one civilian, for every person killed in the 9/11 attacks. In retribution, against people who weren't involved.

> No, you still know whom you are killing, because of the human INTEL and not because they are carrying knives.

The same HUMINT you pick and choose to justify invading Iraq? The same HUMINT that says "bomb that wedding"?

Because your intel is notoriously bad, especially in that area of the world - even now, and there's such a conflict of interest at all levels.

No, it's just straight-up murder when you drone-bomb someone without on-screen visible reasons (driving a tank) because you have such a low standard of proof - it wouldn't qualify to get a warrant to search the person back home.

But even if your intel was perfect, your leaders ignore anything that doesn't let them proceed with the already-planned mobilization. Iraq wasn't a mistake, Iraq was one of the largest cases of mass murder on the planet - second only barely to monsters from our past. And it was planned before 9/11, and before the cooked-up WMD scare, etc.

> Really, radical Islam is based on a simple, old dynamic: Some people want more power.

No, really? Because that's only exactly like every other group on the planet.

> In Egypt, the Islamists didn't like the secular dictator [that we installed] and got rid of him

Funny that. And funny how you make a big deal about secular when it's the fact that he had people abducted for secrets trials and executions, and that the USA backed him, than his religious status, that bothered the Egyptians.

Oh, and that he was a dictator, and felt he had the right to rule for life.

But yeah, just radical Islamists...

> There's a lot of pushing and shoving, heavily enabled by oil money:

Yes. Texas oil money. And other.

You're probably wrong, but it's a tellingly pathetic defense for a pathetic position regardless.
Normally, I'd completely agree that if it's a feature people want, then they can pay for it. But SSL isn't just about protecting the person's data, it's about preventing people from snooping their login credentials over unencrypted traffic (e.g. at a coffee shop). If they use the same login as their email or other accounts, then by excluding SSL from any tier, you're putting those users at risk, not just within your own app, but for their other accounts as well.

In an ideal world, if your app has the ability to login, it should have SSL. And I'm not trying to be a judgmental idealist either, just answering the "why" question after thinking it through. I'm certainly guilty of having a couple old apps out there I've not yet updated to use SSL. I think I may have to go do that now.
I don't know, and that uncertainty is what's making me shy away from App Engine. Google's business focus is advertising and I'm not sure how my app plays into their model.
It's a piece of internet slang meaning "I strongly agree" and it adds just as much to the conversation (that is, nothing).
This looks pretty cool, I will try it out.

One thing that is important to me in mind-mapping-type tools is good keyboard navigation. This one is pretty good, but I think going left then immediately right (-1+1=0) should end on the same item, not the top of the list of children of the left-hand item (and the same for left-left-right-right etc.)
They're agreeing with the parent.
The Rise of the Mobile-Only User
The question List all departments along with the number of people there has an answer using a correlated subquery, rather than a join.

I have a relevant story about that.

About 9 years ago now, another developer escalated a bug to me. Every time they ran a complicated auto-generated query, they got logged out of Oracle. No way! I tried it. Happened to me. Began trying to narrow it down. Ran out of connections. Got a DBA to unwedge the machine. Began again. Ran out of connections again. Got the same DBA to unwedge the machine. Received a lecture about not opening so many connections, replied that I was tracking down a bug and had no choice. Showed him the bug. He was astounded.

Not long after I finished tracking it down and sent them the fix. Showed it to the DBA who verified that it had been reported already, and was fixed in the next release.

The bug was that any time there was a correlated subquery with no records, Oracle logged you out. My guess is that something, somewhere, followed a null pointer. The obvious solution was to move to a left join. If I remember correctly, the way it was being autogenerated made that hard. My solution was to have a correlated subquery which was a left join on DUAL so that there was always a record.
The driver liked the car but said the biggest problem is mileage. 9-10 mpg in the city.

I'd guess that's a labor law violation in most developed nations.
Not to take anything away from WordPress which like many others I use on my blog but...

Moveabletype was the popular blogging software back in the day. It was also easy to install. About the same as wordpress. Copy the files, create a db, add the db/pass. Done.

Moveabletype appeared to be open source. It was perl so you could read the source. It was free. It was hosted on moveabletype.org, the ".org" making it appear to not be commercial. But, then once they got super popular they announced to everyone they were not open source. They wanted something like $30 for a license.

There was a huge backlash and it was during that time that wordpress was created and tons of people switched.

At least that's my understanding of the history. The point being it wasn't wordpress that made blogging easy or popular. There were several products before them including moveabletype and blogger. Had moveabletype not made their fateful decisions wordpress might never have gotten popular.

Nope, a salt is public. Its only purpose is to force you to brute force one hash at a time. It might also protect you against some attacks particular to your hashing algorithm.

It does not slow down the brute force itself. A lonely salted one letter password is as weak as an unsalted one.
footnote: because the maintainer (Lennart Poettering) is religiously anti-portability.

This is a shame, because it makes for brittle software, even when targeting the same platform where APIs do shift and improve over time.

To quote:

> In fact, the way I see things the Linux API has been taking the role of the POSIX API and Linux is the focal point of all Free Software development. Due to that I can only recommend developers to try to hack with only Linux in mind and experience the freedom and the opportunities this offers you. So, get yourself a copy of The Linux Programming Interface, ignore everything it says about POSIX compatibility and hack away your amazing Linux software. It's quite relieving!

I find this to be extremely cringe-worthy; I can only hope that a Linux monoculture isn't the future of open source development.

There will also be a mass bitcoin arrest eventually to crack down on everybody operating without an MSB, like extraditing Euro exchange operators who do biz with Americans. Because of decentralization Bitcoin will survive any crackdown
It took me a while to build up to a well reasoned argument :)

Since I work with Spring every day it brings up some strong emotions.
The honda insight is much less expensive per driven mile if you are OK with "eco mode" limiting the peppy acceleration. You should try it out at the car dealer, it runs off the electric motor primarily.

MSRP Prius: $23,115 MSRP Insight: $17,810. The eco mode increases the MPG from (41-44) what is stated on the sticker to (48-52) (my real world results), comparable to Prius at far less cost.

Quibble, perhaps, but the US government does in asset forfeitures, e.g. this case in the previous decade, United States v. $124,700 in U.S. Currency (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USA_v._$124,700).

I would not be surprised to see a United States v. N Bitcoins in the future, one way or another (e.g. normal, or as part of shutting down something directly related to Bitcoin processing).

It's a real bank. Luxembourg has cheap corporate tax rates, so all Paypal's Europe stuff goes through Luxembourg and thus they get cheaper taxes.
There's many legitimate uses for them, but while they're convenient for preventing hot linking, they're not necessary. Preventing hotlinking can be done easily enough by appending a url argument that changes regularly, and can be made performant by adding that argument checking to the configuration of your frontend/caching servers.
Preparing for abundance
The best part of the article is the last part about Intel password strength "guessing".

The other day some devs on reddit were using google to find password strength and posted stuff like my password would take "1 billion years to crack", without realizing these sites have garbage algorithms for measuring strength, the Microsoft one is a joke.

If developers are falling for these strength indicators, I'm certain average users are getting a very false sense of security.
You're completely right and in fact all URLs where your login credentials are transfered (login, signup, change password) are guaranteed to be SSL regardless of which plan you're on.

Or we start building nuclear plants, which can provide reliable, affordable power without needing the energy storage, overproduction, smart grids, and long-distance high-voltage lines that come into play when you want to use wind/solar for more than 20% or so of your power (and which tend to be overlooked when people compare costs).

Looks awesome and I'm definitely going to be trying this out. My only initial concern is about how quickly I can input a long list of tasks. I don't see anything to add a sibling tasks; a button (with keyboard shortcut) for this would definitely speed that up.

Also, it would be nice if when editing a task, it could centre itself onscreen or display the text you're typing in a floating box. Otherwise you quickly find yourself typing off the edge of the browser window, having to stop typing and pan with the mouse, which is a minor inconvenience.

What are your plans for tablet support? I currently dump all my initial ideas into iThoughts and then use something else for managing an active project. I could see this replacing that workflow with one thing.
This is becoming common practice. A base level of common features are available to a normal login session with particularly sensitive operations requiring re-authentication.

It seems that this really only defends against idle session hijacking, though. If the attacker is in a position to ride on whatever session they want, they'll just wait for an "elevated" session.

The classic sudo-esque escalation model can be configured to only allow sudo sessions within terminals, so doing one sudo doesn't suddenly allow the entire system "sudo" access. If it did, a malicious program could just sit and hit the priviledged operation with "sudo" until they got let in. The web's "sudo" is essentially this, because all authentication sessions go over HTTP and you can't really sandbox the source as nicely.

[edit] (HN had a funny hiccup there. Anyway...)

It would be interesting if we could get the same thing on the web. Perhaps some new type of cookie is considered "temporary, ultra-safe" by the browser and never written to disk, auto-cleared after X time, only transfered over HTTPS, etc.
I recently got involved with a fair sized Java project recently (the backend directing our robots), and while my impression of Spring is that it's a bit of a crawling horror, IoC is actually pretty darn useful. The big problem is all the runtime string comparisons, when I'm using Java I want typos discovered at compile time not runtime.

I haven't used it, but my impression is that I'd be much happier with something like Guice that is lighter weight and actually does compile-time typechecking.
This is ironic given that until the 1980's Taiwan had not signed international copyright treaties and was a center for illegal book printing.
> The trend seems to be moving away from realism in design, not skeuemorphism.

Yeah, exactly. Even if you don't simulate the look of paper (e.g.: texture), if the design functions like paper, it's skeuomorph just as well.

> Now that high resolution screens are the norm, there is no need to show it off, which is why the flat ui trend is emerging.

I think the reason is we have a native-digital generation that doesn't benefit from the connection to real life objects anymore. Those designers are all on their 18's.

For instance, the recording app on iPhone features a VU meter. How many people buying phones today have seen a real VU meter?

So this is like an automated standup thing? We get by with just having a chat room called "Standup" where people do likewise, and it's free (or nearly so, given Campfire pricing).

If we really want to use natural gas for transportation, an easier path might be to use it to synthesize gasoline and diesel. A barrel of synthetic oil from methane costs about $60.

Before doing that, it might be a good idea to fix the methane emissions from fracking, and figure out how long those wells are really going to last. There's a lot of skepticism about that "100-year supply."
