I would love for it to stay as simple and barebones as it is and not accrete crufty features such as applying the color theme to vacuous stuff like a generic layout on generic text/code, that is not representative of where I will use it anyway, and it won't know which color I'll use for what.

"It's called Opera Next 15 and it's based on Chromium 28 — which means that it comes with Blink on board"
It is hard to commercialize a substance that we are unable to create/maintain the conditions to use.

But if someone can demonstrate how to make and hold solid hydrogen in a configuration where superconduction can be demonstrated at room temperature, then you've clearly gone several steps towards addressing feasibility, and you've demonstrated the existence of potential commercial opportunities.
So we just cross our fingers a couple good architects want to live in our shantytown, whose main proposed draw is proximity to fiber?

It's hard to call that bad advice... it most certainly is great, until you have nothing left to do that makes you happy. At that point you might either consider yourself a failure or realize that this just is not realistic.

Jobs have ups and downs, and no situation is perfect for anything, whether it's raising kids or maintaining your own particular sanity. Expecting a prescription for "being happy while doing thing x I have not done" to work for you is setting yourself up for failure.

Normally I'd say this is likely to help many people a bit along the way, but raising kids might be the only thing too personal and individual to warrant any kind of "well hey this worked for entrepreneur X in The Ess Vee so it should work for me."
My biggest problem with how we fought in Afghanistan was not allowing Army SF to do their doctrinal mission. I believe in the traditional SF model (mentoring indigenous forces for FID) more than the JSOC model (direct action, technical intelligence, big dollars).

Indeed, Jawbreaker and First In were pretty similar (and Jawbreaker essentially covered time before and after First In, too). I haven't read LoK yet, it's on my list. Also never even heard of The Deguello; added, thanks. The TF Dagger book sucks, though.
My lease is running out in November, so that's the time frame I've given myself to see if it gets any better. The good thing is that time doesn't run against me. Okay, maybe opportunities for indie devs in the mobile market may be shrinking, and it might be harder to find a job in your forties than in your thirties, but I can wait a few months and carefully consider all the options.
I can't tell if this is satirical or not. This reads like a Swiftian condemnation of the needless wars we're fighting.

Here's a list of features supported by the latest Chrome and latest Opera http://caniuse.com/#compare=chrome+28,opera+12.1

There's a couple of things that Opera might be loosing in this update, with the switch to Blink. Hopefully anything the do loose they'll be able to port over soon.
They are merged with the speed dial feature, which now has folders. More like visual bookmarks.
It drowned a long time ago, we just get to see its corpse bobbing around every now and then.
I'm wondering too. I can't find any option related to bookmarks whatsoever.
If enough users have those accidental clicks, it might skew the a/b testing results :-)
Ah yes, I missed that the prime is part of the key.
Points well taken. Yes, indie opportunity is not what it was, but it's most certainly still there.

I can't speak to ageism in the market, though we all know it exists... hopefully your skills speak for you. My best weapon in the last decade has been the interview; if you enjoy and excel at that, plan on getting most of what you want. :)

I don't know what your qualifications are, but if you are interested in freelance web/Android work, please drop me a line. Info is in my profile. I have nothing waiting at the moment, but I do get a fair amount of leads.
Kudos, I've never read something so harsh and yet so genuinely hopeful.

I really hope our generation (you refer to the rest of us, so I'm assuming you're younger than a Baby Boomer (as am I)) finally breaks this cycle of big wars. With the world becoming more interconnected, and the economic playing field beginning to level (read: America can't afford big wars anymore) we just might be able to move on as a species.

Another world is possible, right?
You're right, but design can make some pretty big differences. It can make people more interested in your product and your company, and increase the chance they'll actually read the content you're trying to display.

As an example, navigate through a bunch of the pages of Square's main website: https://squareup.com
They are adding features as they go, so I might still come. Strange they left out such an essential feature however.
Anybody know whether they plan to stick with Chromium or will switch to Blink in the future?
Based on your literal interpretation, the 5th amendment would only apply to the male gender, no?
The px unit in css is a bit misleading, the measurement doesn't always correspond to the size of the device pixels. From the spec[1]:

"For a CSS device, these dimensions are either anchored by relating the physical units to their physical measurements, or by relating the pixel unit to the reference pixel. For print media and similar high-resolution devices, the anchor unit should be one of the standard physical units (inches, centimeters, etc). For lower-resolution devices, and devices with unusual viewing distances, it is recommended instead that the anchor unit be the pixel unit. For such devices it is recommended that the pixel unit refer to the whole number of device pixels that best approximates the reference pixel."

Nice application. Really useful
Thanks for sharing your story. I remember reading something similar a few weeks ago here on HN.

It may be the combination of 10+ years at one company, plus a gap. It could be something else. Have you asked those friends for an update what happened after you sent your CV?

In my (limited) experience, even though people say there's a shortage of qualified software engineers and it's a great market for them now, it's always hard to find a good job. Key word being "good". Unless you're a "rock star" that has written a book and is being hired to speak at tech conferences. Companies are still being picky, even if they can't afford to be.
Granted, my cohort is too old for combat. No amount of training could put us in the kind of physical shape needed for that job. But we’re not too old to do many of the other jobs the military needs done. Military effectiveness is more than ever about brains than brawn

The draft has always been about brawn, not brain. The brain in the military has always been career military, the fact that military effectiveness is more about brains than brawn played a non-trivial role in ending the draft.
I don't get it. Maybe i misremember but I thought Opera was a feature rich browser with an email client, widgets and a bunch of other stuff.

Now mail has been shunted into its own product. I don't see widgets. It really looks and feels like a skin for Chrome and nothing more which makes me wonder what the point is. If I want Chrome I will use Chrome.

OK, this is a preview but the news doesn't suggest any of these old features are coming across.
It was the sandpaper part that sounded funny to me.

Speaking of framing, you know that aisle of 2x4x8s you walk past at home despot? They are not all 96 inches long. If you look close some are labeled "framing studs." They are precut to 92 5/8 precisely so that you don't need to cut down every stud when you are framing a wall.
It is interesting, I don't think it will actually help them much. If you have Foxtel already you can likely get the whole of showtime for around the same price your paying on itunes for Game of Thrones. (While the season is going and there are day 4 eps a month.)

Not sure they are going to convince people that don't have Foxtel that they should pay $60+ a month for the service purely on the back of Game of Thrones.
Probably because no one heard of it (I sure haven't) and because Lua is just one of those love-or-hate languages that not everyone can use.
I couldn't use Lua or Go, for example, if my life depended on it.
meh FUCKING GREAT calculator.. saved my ass a couple of times

Yes. :)

By sticking with Chromium, Opera will automatically start using Blink when Chromium starts using it.
Great application, looks good.
CVSS is always a headache. But as our tax agency says: we can't make it more pleasurable, but we can make it easier.

I've also read Ferriss. Interesting ideas but I'm not sure how applicable it'd be. I like the idea of work hard for 10 yrs and take "off" a year or two better. :-)

If you ever want to meet up and chat, feel free to ping me. I've been doing indie development for ~3 yrs.
Reading some stories about it, it's worse than that. The dying are tramped past, there isn't the oxygen to stay, and there isn't the manpower to get them down. The stories are awful. There a series called Everest: Beyond the limit that was quite good (but with a terrible sensationalist angle and a tedious theme song/echo thing after adverts). It discussed issues and death quite well.
So my understanding is that the default behaviour is:

1. Follow link from https://example.org to http://example.com --- referrer is not sent

2. Follow link from https://example.org to https://example.com --- referrer is sent

I don't understand how the same referrer can be too sensitive to be sent as plaintext, but harmless enough to be passed to a not-necessarily-trusted third party.
Yeah, screw this. Why does the site want to make me do this? Someone should repost this question on a popular forum without such annoyances.
Maybe I'm expecting the wrong thing, but as someone not involved in development with Haskell, this landing page gave me nothing to go on.
While I understand what drove the decision to start using Webkit, I was hoping for a more Opera-like UI and experience. All the power features are gone. Unfortunately this preview looks like just another Yandex browser.
Ha! Right, I meant Webkit in the OP, but that answered my question anyway. Thanks!
Very nice application. Easy calculating CVSS scores. Yippie
Even 1px matter ! With trained eyes you can see all the defaults on every websites... Annoying!
I am by no means an expert on Bitcoins or the economy, but here is what I think.

Bitcoin, as a technology consisting of self-sustaining peer-to-peer electronic currency, is solid.

Bitcoin, as a commodity or a security, is not solid at this time.

In the latter case, it is new, immature, and above all more volatile than traditional currencies. In the coming decades those three things may change, but I would not look into Bitcoins as a reliable investment or as a method of funding a company.

Just a simple example: your company has 50 common stocks worth 1 BTC each, and the value of BTC then suddenly goes from $120 to $160 by the end of the week, and then $110 by the middle of the next week. How do investors value you in such a case? Things get really complicated.

If the US dollar's value changed so drastically and so suddenly, the stock market would become pretty ridiculous. Plus there is the potential risk of major Bitcoin exchanges going out of business or being restricted by law enforcement in the future.
I applied to SJSU, they have a Master's program with emphasis on mobile development. But after the budget cuts they seem to be really struggling, bureaucratically. I haven't heard anything from them other than "we received your documents, we'll process them within a week". That was two months ago. I haven't really followed up with them and asked what's going on, which I guess is a sign that I'm not really passionate about that idea...

Make up your mind!
But why is that a bad thing?
Just count your page impressions to see if you blogcontent is popular.

What websites your visitors consume is IMHO not your business.
I think the point was that setting a goal and accomplishing it puts a smile on your face, not that the particulars were enjoyable per se.

The longest discussion is from nearly three years ago:

It seems a popular topic here on HN, there are many references to the Big-O Notation:

https://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/all&q=big+o+nota...

A theme I've seen crop up several times is that the authors of the articles often either don't explain it clearly, or actively get it wrong.

Read with care random ramblings from the interwebs.
"Pepper"s are essentially meaningless and provide no real benefit over a salt.

And you should be using bcrypt anyway.
Might I politely - as an Englishman - make the suggestion that if you feel the need to wrap it with "<satire>" tags, you're doing it wrong?
Can somebody elaborate what is this?

Edit: Let me rephrase my question: Is this for someone who would like to start learning Haskell?
So just as everyone else has said in this thread -- sounds like you have enough of a cushion to do just about whatever you damn well please for at least 2 years (taking into the account the possibility that you decided to live as a rockstar at ~5x above your current means)

What I do want to say -- and I'm really unsure that I should be saying it at all (since I'm not your dad, but then again, this is the internet)

Maybe you should start at least considering settling down somewhere? I don't mean settle down somewhere and enter a company you hate for the rest of your life just for job security, but more like pick a place (or search for) a place you want to be in for a long time

With IT/software skills like yours, I doubt there are many people who won't see your value at a technical company, and that will enable you to get a job in most places, but being transient forever (even if you're writing awesome software) doesn't seem like a wholesome plan

I'm definitely assuming too much, and I don't know anything (outside of this post) about you or your goals, but just figured I should at least make the point

Also, your Honolulu-as-a-place-to-live idea sounds amazing
Opera used to Pack all the features of a browser and email and more into a 15MB downloadable exe. Now the browser itself is 25MB already

This is Chrome. I was hoping for Tab Overflow? No Drop Down list of Open Tabs.

They kept it like Opera, which means no H.264 support.

Basically that means i am sticking to Firefox.
If the mail client is good, then having it stand-alone is a great idea - with Thunderbird no longer updated I could do with an alternative on Windows (something that uses less RAM than keeping GMail open in a Chrome tab...)
I'm always surprised to see "Useless Use of Cat Award"[1] recipients in such compilations. I know there is some debate[2] around UUOC, but somehow this sort of thing (from the top-voted answer) seems wasteful:

cat access.log | egrep -o 'acct_id=[0-9]+' | cut -d= -f2 | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn

Why not just

egrep -o 'acct_id=[0-9]+' access.log | cut -d= -f2 | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn ?

Perhaps for these sorts of tutorials, the former is clearer on first inspection. But I can't help agreeing with bahamat[3] that it's about "forming good habits and discouraging bad ones".

Thanks for the info, I was not aware of this meta tag. My blog is all HTTPS (with SPDY) and I added content="origin" to all visitor facing pages, leaving the admin pages dark.
updates to the haskell platform (notably haskell compiler, haskell interactive interpreter, haskell libraries) release notes (http://www.haskell.org/platform/changelog.html) should give more detail on whats included.
Don't look for hacks. Look for ways to instill healthy habits and skills that he can use for the rest of his life. I'm glad you brought up potty training and speech, because those are both great examples.

For speech, I recommend having conversations with him as you would an adult, and try to keep eye contact often enough that he sees your mouth as you speak. Don't hound him on mis pronunciations but feel free to correct him as you would a friend who is trying to learn English. Be as sensitive as you would be toward a friend if he gets frustrated or ashamed.

For potty training, he'll need a solid week at home with a toilet he is comfortable going in. Don't take him somewhere unless you can bring the toilet with you. I've brought it in the car before :O . Keep him naked or in regular underwear and be clear what the goal is. sometimes a treat after going in the potty works well. Someone will have to run him to the bathroom at times.

For whatever he likes (dinosaurs, animals, trucks), work on the names of different types. Flash cards work well : http://www.amazon.com/Animals-All-Kinds-Flash-Cards/dp/09382... . My daughter loves going through those while eating - she asks for them and we treat them like a reward for eating her food by herself (one bite, one card). She happens to not really like food.

Get good nutrition going immediately. Vegetables, fruit, and everything else you eat (stomache, allergy and spice issues permitting). Don't start juice if he isn't used to it, and water it down if he is.

Get the mom on the same page. And, remember, he's not your son. If you are going to treat him as your son, do what you can to make that official so that the risks of losing him are reduced. Marry, adopt, whatever. Or be cognizant to distance yourself a bit and be like an uncle.

I'm just a dad, not an expert. Ask away and let me know if anything sounds off. Where are you located?

Good luck :) . Thanks for making the world bettah.
Does anybody have any tips of their own for this?
The main problem I see with BTC as compared to PayPal is that transactions can't be cancelled, as they are added into the blockchain.
The Haskell platform is the perfect place to start with Haskell--it comes with the compiler, some useful tools (like cabal, Haskell's package manager) and a core set of well-tested and well-supported libraries. If you have been considering Haskell, this is a great time to go for it!

I'm particularly excited by the updated OpenGL and GLUT bindings. Graphics is currently not Haskell's strong suit, but I think this might soon be changing. There has been plenty of work on high-level things like functional reactive programming (FRP), but this isn't all that useful without the low-level libraries for actually drawing to the screen! These updated packages should hopefully make writing graphics programs in Haskell much nicer.

Have we really managed to crash this with a small mention on HN? I'm trying to get there, but the brief description on what I can only call a barely-navigable site (unless I had the impression wrong, of a webcomic or some similar serial) is all I managed to load before the thing began responding -- very quickly, I might add -- with "currently offline" pages.

[edit: I guess it must be worse still that it's a GN (I love the format) and yet still died under what couldn't have been more than a few hundred requests... time to wonder about that shared hosting.]
I'm not sure the law of large numbers means what you think it means.
Most sensible websites don't use MD5 anymore

What makes you say that? Do you mean new sites or all site? Got anything to back it up?

I would guess most sites in existence use MD5, SHA1 or similar with 1 round, because it was (is?) very popular.
Yeah, it's entirely likely the COs won't let it through (for "violence/war"), although they're more likely to let it through because it's somewhat patriotic/pro-US.

OTOH, I'm confident weev will find a way to troll with any means provided.

I also sent him a Holy Qur'an (with English translation/explanations), which I am sure will result in substantial lulz. (although if I were unjustly locked in prison, the Qur'an would probably be on my reading list anyway...)
Sort of, but providing the scheme progressions is really neat.

WOW! I'll be pushing this plugin everywhere! It solves lots of problems (theoretically). Why isn't everyone using it?
Oh cool. Last I heard was that they weren't going to use Blink.
Your assumptions go in the right direction. I think the Bay Area is an amazing place to live, not the worst place to raise a family. But somehow I don't have much luck with the dating scene here (living in the South Bay). San Francisco might be a bit better, but it's almost impossible to find an apartment at the moment. And even here it gets a bit too cold for my taste sometimes, which is weird to say for someone who grew up in central Europe. Maybe another move will make me a more interesting, well-rounded person. Maybe an environment that's not dominated by technology might be a good place to recharge my batteries. At the very least it's an adventure and a cool story to tell.
I personally kind of hate stick-built stuff; my dream home is concrete and steel and glass, with textiles and strategic wood for sound and aesthetics.
Abuse of treason convictions had occurred so much in England that the framers specifically defined it in the constitution (apparently the only crime to get such a treatment).

"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."

I don't necessarily think they were right on everything, but they were right on this. You really don't want to live in a state where Treason is an accusation thrown around lightly.
It's funny, I was just thinking that I really like them--so many sites use drop shadows that they provide some information as to how those would look.
Bitcoin transaction fees are a tiny fraction of the amount of fees PayPal charges. Confirmation takes about an hour and there is no possibility of chargebacks. As far as fraud protection, if you purchase groceries with cash what kind of protection do you have? Hopefully the reputation and integrity of the seller is enough in most cases. If you can't trust someone, use an escrow service (which still costs less than PayPal fees).
