That definitely reduces the size of jQuery, but you still end up duplicating a lot of the collection and DOM manipulation logic. That's definitely an option though depending on what you are looking for.
Glad to see that she's being forced to step down after such an egregious invasion of privacy.

But that's just a school. The much more important case is whether anyone in the federal government gets punished when they do the same thing without a warrant. So far, it doesn't look like it.
They don't wear anything fancy too en masse.

I'm comfortable at being more or less adequately dressed comparatively.
I hate phone calls too, but you need to get over that. You don't need to cold call people - you can email first, set time for the call etc - but you can learn SO MUCH more about your potential customers from actually talking to them.

In person meetings are even better (and much more comfortable if you don't like calls) but they don't scale as well.
My only suggestion is to add a "save to local" button. That would mean that I would save most of my comments to a local store, instead of posting them to HN.
one that got me was in a controller you can:

return Model::Find('asdf=1');

and it outputs a json serialized array as html. so your ajax action is like one line of code, yay. or you can $row = Model::Find('asdf=1'); and manipulate in php from there.

I'm not convinced Nokia will lose.

Even if Nokia lose and no-one else comes forward the Google licence is non-redistributable anyway so for many purposes is no better than the AVC one.

Freedom, zero cost, quality, low legal risk. Choose two.
Indeed. If the assumption is that the bulk of current accounts are also low-quality, and that (for whatever reason) account age is a good indicator of quality, you would have to follow up the cutoff of new account signups with a mass deletion of accounts (including OP's) until you got to the 'quality' line.

Laravel 4 released, leaves beta
I've played Awesomanuts and I think compared to DotA it's a bit more simple,yet hard to master. Different nauts have wildly different movement abilities which influence the positioning greatly and knowing which Naut moves how and how to (ab)use it is important (e.g. Froggy has the highest single jump, while Lonestar has the higest segmented jump, with different arcs and what not). It's all about timing, twitch skill and guessing your opponent's action or influencing it.

It's a neat game, but saying it's casual is like saying TF2 is a casual game (i.e. not really). The way it works also leaves a lot to be desired for. It allows premades to play against Solo Queuers which really isn't fun for either side (premades don't learn much and SQ are unorganized and easily dealt with).

NOTE: I had ~400 hrs played and I managed to reach r2 in Solo Queue (though lost it eventually).

I'm not sure of what "Iron Conversions" is going to be, but it'll be depressing if this is another story of someone trying to build a product, and then failing, and then building a meta-product around building products and trying to sell that to people on HN who are still trying to build products. There seems to be a huge influx of things like this: books on how to sell books or build apps after their "real book" or "real app" failed to sell, sites for vetting ideas built by people whose "real idea" was bad, customer development tools for people who failed to do good customer development with their "real idea". I enjoy patio11's posts and talks immensely, but even he admits that most of his income is now from the product of teaching others how to build products, not building products himself. Necessity is the mother of invention, but the meta-product trend is getting tiresome. It kind of feels like an intellectual ponzi scheme at some point.
Great feedback, thanks!

Your last paragraph is something I've been considering as a next evolution of how it's implemented, but I'm waiting for more data (and time!) before I take a look at developing it further :)
In the process, the provider would violate his/her TOS at each service, and get his/her account banned.

The prediction was given as ~2140 rather than ~131 years, which perhaps implies less precision, and anyway was presented as an estimate.

Oh boy - disagree with the premise. It's been four months since you started? You haven't failed. It looks like you've been trying to market it to the Internet at large and not targetting your likely user base. Go see some local businesses and see if they are in the mood for a better inventory management system. Get one business using it. Then another. Then another. Build your user base one person at a time. Businesses tend to talk to each other. You say have one paying customer? Great! That proves that somebody is willing to pay for it. Just reconfigure your marketing and target the people who are likely to do so - those with whom you already have a personal connection.
It isn't appropriate as a software developer to wear a suit to work. It often isn't even appropriate in an interview as a software developer to wear a suit. It looks ridiculous to wear a suit jacket when the next few layers of your management chain are wearing board shorts and sandals.

Instead, the ideal seems to be to tread a fine line between casual wear and formal wear. Properly fitted clothing is important here- a suit is too formal, loose jeans a bit sloppy, but dark jeans that are tailored to fit are perfect.

This makes shopping in the women's section very difficult- I usually find casual-wear for women a bit inappropriate for work (clothing is often too sheer and unlined, too clingy, or necklines too low), and clothing marketed as office-wear would make most assume I was a secretary or in advertising/human resources/ect. A mixture seems to work well. Rather than dressing up casual clothing, I find more success dressing down nicer pieces. For example, a nice dress with a denim jacket or a silk blouse with jeans and flats.

My male friends seem to have a similar problem shopping, in which clothes that are made for casual wear are more casual than they would like, but then there is a huge gap from casual to much too formal. Men's clothing doesn't have the problem of many causal clothes being too revealing, but there is also quite a bit less variety available.

TLDR: Ramble about trying to find appropriate software developer wardrobe that has nothing to do with the above comment. Sorry.
Well I stand corrected, had not seen that. Glad they posted that. However still the breaks for electric/green tech is still not a comparison at all and oil/gas/manufacturing are well established. I'd be for kicking taxes down to the subsidy levels so there aren't any major costs to remove it, just a tax break for other industrie. It would be great for revenues for companies for a while and they might pay their taxes actually. In a perfect world taxes would be 10% maybe and companies could bring their money back to the US.
That's where local is beneficial. I've got a 'the hit list' install locally on my mac that stores just about everything & a bunch of flashcards related to each task. There was a learning curve but it's immensely helped me stay organized.
They can and do, but it still pays to be aware of the range it currently spans, and I think we're plenty familiar with the lower end.
I don't have a Facebook account. I deleted it years ago. I guess I can't make any new amigos on your site.

Oh, I forgot! I DO have a fake one that I use for development. I guess I can just use that...
At least it wasn't Phoenix.
For an interesting parallel, this is analogous to my experience with emergent gameplay when I was in the game industry. Everyone really likes the idea of emergent gameplay and the open-ended-ness and flexibility that gives you. But you sacrifice a lot of control when you go that way. This can leave game designers and producers feeling like their hands are tied when the game doesn't play the way they want.

Less flexible, more scripted behavior is often the smarter choice when you want to be able to ensure a certain gameplay experience.
Show HN: craigslist-hacker -- search Craigslist for programming jobs
Uh...I don't think anyone, OP included, is suggesting it's a right. Just that it used to be almost always available. And it's going away, sort of accidentally. On the scale of "useful things" vs "privacy invasions", it's pretty safely on the former side.
Not that I'm against the concept, but I'd much rather give up my Facebook info than my mobile phone info. I even avoid(ed) giving Facebook my phone number.
This is an early paper by Stephen Ceci, and illustrates the approach Ceci takes of challenging the assumptions that other psychologists assume to be true. This is why I love reading books and articles by Ceci. His Web-based CV

http://far.human.cornell.edu/FAR/uploads/webcv/sjc9_webcv.pd...

lists his extensive publications (you hope that most of those got better peer review after his 1982 paper than psychology papers used to). Google Scholar

helpfully lists some papers by Ceci for which there are free full-text versions that you or I can download for our learning and reading pleasure.

From Jelte Wicherts (another psychologist skeptical about peer review in psychology) writing in Frontiers of Computational Neuroscience (an open-access journal) comes a much more recent set of general suggestions

Jelte M. Wicherts, Rogier A. Kievit, Marjan Bakker and Denny Borsboom. Letting the daylight in: reviewing the reviewers and other ways to maximize transparency in science. Front. Comput. Neurosci., 03 April 2012 doi: 10.3389/fncom.2012.00020

http://www.frontiersin.org/Computational_Neuroscience/10.338...

on how to make the peer-review process in scientific publishing more reliable. Wicherts does a lot of research on this issue to try to reduce the number of dubious publications in his main discipline, the psychology of human intelligence.

"With the emergence of online publishing, opportunities to maximize transparency of scientific research have grown considerably. However, these possibilities are still only marginally used. We argue for the implementation of (1) peer-reviewed peer review, (2) transparent editorial hierarchies, and (3) online data publication. First, peer-reviewed peer review entails a community-wide review system in which reviews are published online and rated by peers. This ensures accountability of reviewers, thereby increasing academic quality of reviews. Second, reviewers who write many highly regarded reviews may move to higher editorial positions. Third, online publication of data ensures the possibility of independent verification of inferential claims in published papers. This counters statistical errors and overly positive reporting of statistical results. We illustrate the benefits of these strategies by discussing an example in which the classical publication system has gone awry, namely controversial IQ research. We argue that this case would have likely been avoided using more transparent publication practices. We argue that the proposed system leads to better reviews, meritocratic editorial hierarchies, and a higher degree of replicability of statistical analyses."
"jQuery doesn’t always offer enough of an upside to be worth loading. Backbone itself only uses a very small subset of the functionality provided by jQuery, so why bother with it?"

Is the overhead of loading jQuery really in any way a detriment to the overall performance of your application? I've seen comments like this a lot around HN lately, and I wonder if they're not a hyperbole. The size of jQuery, loaded once initially and then never again, cannot impact apps that much, can it? I've never considered all the wonderful benefits of jQuery to not be worth it.

Gotta love how he casually slips Tumblr and Instapaper in the list. Tumblr, I can understand, but Instapaper's influence outside of the technorati is highly overestimated by the technorati.
They don't have to. Ship a crippled version of libavcodec so I can replace it. Or in the glorious linux case: link to a system version of libavcodec.

Or just get some balls and ship like you are Videolan.

Beyond the various aspects of social utility of "Like" that everyone has mentioned, a 'Like' can also mean that you want to subscribe to updates from a source, such as you would do with RSS.
Sorry for any oddities in the way the article is written; I haven't posted anything on a blog in quite a while and I'm a bit rusty :)

More data is definitely needed and I'm open to altering the system once I understand better how it's working; this is very much an initial stab at improving the situation!
No reason for ZFS in particular -- I was just unsure about how stable btrfs currently is. I haven't tried this out, but I think I might. Email's on the site in my profile if you beat me to it. :)
Yes, absolutely. We need to import more H1-B workers to work on these very important problems of food, fashion, 'social' and gaming. Makes me want to delete my facebook account right now.
UPS?
He slipped that in there, because the entirety of his audience are aware of what Tumblr and Instapaper are. You're being silly.
If majority of voters care about some not-insignificant issue, current system will ensure that its taken into account. And thats my main point - this issue is simply not significant for a majority of the population.

I'm rolling my own signup (which is easy enough in Django), but I'd consider doing a Google login. Facebook & Twitter I wouldn't care to implement: My target audience wouldn't want to be mixing their social logins with my service.
Aye, it does seem to be a very interchangeable term. I use 'Like' in the article much as you would see on Facebook. I currently have a simplistic following feature implemented but it's on the roadmap to offer suggestions based on what you've favourited or recommended in the past too.

My takeaways from "Clean Code"
I don't know anything about inventory management but the idea of a free inventory management product is kind of interesting. What if you made it free, how could you make money off it? Would suppliers be able to bid for ads, so that when it came time to re-order their deals were shown preferentially? Who would find the information about the inventory of hundreds of small businesses commercially useful, and who would be willing to pay for that?
Ironically in both cases it was not about "finding the criminal" but about finding out who leaked a story to the press. Seems like transparency is not really popular these days.
I wear a suit (or sport coat) every Friday. Here's what I do:

Buy vintage. You can get an $800 suit for $40 at Goodwill. Treasure hunting is fun. Seriously.

Make light of it. I call it "Fancy Friday" and sometimes refer to it as a "ridiculous affectation" or "grown-up cosplay". People get used to it and now comment when I'm not dressed up on Fridays.

How about criminalizing viewers of a video depicting a kid in a bike helmet entering a closet to exchange the disk on his laptop hooked into MIT's network? A video on a PS3 running "unsigned" software? Racial violence? Religious violence? You might or might not know if performing these acts fall on either side of the law and probably less likely to know if you can legally enjoy the reproduction made available by video. How do you make yourself aware and keep track of what is consumable, distributable, or otherwise?
You're not alone. I did the same thing. Don't have a facebook account but was interested in a service like this.
Wearing a black wool overcoat over a full suit isn't the same thing as a cloak and mantle, but it's close.

It looks flat to me over the last decade. It's hard to tell with such a large time series.
I like it; it looks kinda like a charitable version of Flattr.
So, I'm considering grad school for either a masters in pure maths or statistics. Ultimately, I would love to teach math at a 2 yr college, but I also know that may not ever happen. Those jobs are just way competitive to get. A statistics degree would give me more versatility. I could get teaching jobs here in California's 2 yr CC system. But, I could also go out into the real world and work as a statistician.

I have a background in IT and programming. I did it for over 10 years. I was wondering, though, how much demand is there for data scientists? And, what kind of salaries could I expect?
What languages are supported? I'm on a mac, so I didn't install the player.
Absolutely, which is why it won't happen. You'd have to actually place lights, remove the fakes, and render check every scene. Basically the only part of the movie you wouldn't have to do is come up with dialog, sound, and geometry. (not to mention I have never met a movie person who, given a chance to reshoot a scene says "Yeah, it was perfect when I shot it, the only changes here are mechanical." :-)
I nearly killed myself walking down a steep wet Seattle street wearing leather-soled dress boots. At least I would have died looking good.
The 360 was a completely reasonable step for the series--at the time, recall, there weren't really many x86 chips at the price/performance/power spot that was needed for a gaming rig.

Microsoft went to IBM and shopped around for cores, and got a bastard chip spinoff of the Cell PPEs--one with six logical threads of execution and a fairly normal programming model. This gave good vector performance and had many threads--at launch, there weren't cheap x86 chips that could do that.
I'm just going to leave this here in the hope that @Rakathos reads it. It's all about why "small business owners" are a terrible market: http://www.erica.biz/2013/new-business-ideas/

I cite some good examples of markets in there, as well, so you can see the difference between a good market and a bad one.
If majority of voters care about some not-insignificant issue, current system will ensure that its taken into account.

Well, that's your claim, but not everyone agrees.
He claims it's a list of "notable things". Instapaper does not fall into that category, no matter how you look at it.

Well actually all the online editors have awesome scripting capability via javascript:)

> - rectangular selection and operations (v: Ctrl-v, e: C-x r ... or rect-mark)

Ace (cloud9 editor which friendCode uses) have pretty good support for sublime text style multiple selections, (with ctrl-alt-arrow keys)
so emacs or vim style should be easy to implement.
The main problem is that there are oly a few people who use online editors, so most of this things are not implemented yet.
I agree. 4 months is way too short to call it quites and shift to a new product.

In terms of customer validation it sounds like you have some but it hasn't been exhaustive by any stretch. Trying to get Adwords-generated revenue with such a small budget isn't going to prove anything either way. Articles written by people from Fiverr.com isn't much better.

Pound the pavement and find 20 people who have inventory management problems, email 200 people who you think are in your target demographic. Find out what they hate about inventory management and if your solution can fix their problem.

Anything can happen, but On2 was diligent in evaluating public patents related to video. So it looks like Nokia is spoofing things up. Time will tell of course. One of the benefits of the IETF process is the requirement to disclose all the patents, so they can be evaluated and refuted if possible. I'm sure WebM project is busy with reviewing this.

Freedom, zero cost, quality, low legal risk.

Where did you find freedom and zero cost there? Low legal risk is a myth in the land of patent minefields.

Where should I look for a co-founder in London?
Hello,

I've spent the last couple of months hacking away at something which has the potential to not be the most completely useless product. I was originally working on it with a friend, but he pulled out to focus on his PhD. None of my friends are interested in computers, tech or coding.

Where in London can I find a co-founder? Or at least, a buddy who enjoys messing around with computers and wants to build something?

For Facebook Connect, I think what developers think and the general public thinks are sometimes two different things. If you think about Pinterest, their initial success imo was forcing Facebook connects so the social graphs automatically posts everytime something happens. Perhaps controversial, but effective.
Nop, I'm a happy Basecamp customer.
I remember during my degree, we were literally told to copy paste some javascript and change few variables. That was it for javascript... If it wasn't for SO, I would never have got the placement I did, nor understood the concepts I do now.
So what's actually needed is not freedom but a set of enforced laws conducive to economic prosperity.
