Do keep in mind the job listing is for a personal assistant. I'd assume the author would be working with whomever he'd hire on a more intimate level relative to most other professional relationships.

That said, I do agree that his attitude toward employment certainly isn't for everyone. Luckily, though, it seems to self-select the people who are comfortable with it.
I'm biased since I've worked on it, but I personally find the native UI a pretty major thing.
I agree that hiring good-hearted people makes for a better employment -- and who would argue against good-heartedness?

But he self-servingly equates your willingness to do more recruiting for him, with "goodness." Being good comes in all flavors, and some of them don't include the desire to work for free, as a recruiter, while your employment offer is on the table.

And, there is no rush. Do not rush. The goal is to create a happy, healthy and capable person - not an impressive 5 year old. This is coming from someone who's wife spends most of her time educating and caring for his kids, who are therefore advanced relative to peers: it's not that important.

It IS important for kids to have caretakers who give them attention, opportunity to be capable for life and economy, and a happy and stimulating environment.

Working towards these things with your kid is literally more important than these things making your kid more developed.

Also: don't smoke or perform other bad habits around him. Nail biting, drinking, getting angry, gossiping, etc. These are negative habits that will rub off.
Firefox on Windows doesn't have this issue. You can fix this issue for classic Opera (http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=437971&...), but it seems that config manager for Opera Next doesn't work like old version (or maybe is completely removed?).

Don't look for hacks.

This is almost always good advice, but I think it bears repeating as the crux of this extremely insightful post. And honestly: HN is NOT the place to look for this. I think you're lucky to have someone like kvnn responding up top but you're likely to soon be mired in god knows what.

Go be a dad. Do it the way dads have done it forever: Off the cuff, the best they know how. He'll benefit a lot more from your honest attempts and interaction than anyone else's poor attempts at Best Practices for Other People.

Good luck, and as an adoptee, I thank you for being a good dad to a kid who needs one!

No Bits, but Paintballs
Hackers, Anonymous members, the cyber corps of the police and other security experts: in the digital world, they often fight each other and they hardly have any contact at all. Time for a meeting and in a special way: a paintball fight.

The project called Operation Cyberpaint began on Twitter where a hacker and a cyber security specialist discussed about fighting eachothers differences. As according to the organization's founders various groups talk to little with each other and they reside mostly on their own forums. While there surely is a need for a conversation.

An informal game of paintball is the perfect setting to set the dialogue according the organisation. An additional advantage with the masks on you as a participant makes everyone "anonymous". And that is an important prerequisite, for example hackers who would rather not want to sit in a room. Together with the police.

Precautions.
Some visitors were therefore the day their mask. Some even put the phone to a digital information to be relinquished.

The organization took precautions: the wifi on the location went out to protect against any hacks it. "We did not want messing and zero risk for the location where we played," said organizer Oscar Koeroo.

Panel Discussion
Of course it was not only shot with paint: also the current problems in the field of cyber security were discussed in a panel discussion. At breakneck speed things like DDoS attacks and hacking back were discussed. Nothing concrete came out of the discussion, but the parties have come at least closer together.

According to participants and the organization Operation Cyber ​​Paint was a success and it is likely that next year a meeting.

It's been like this since at least Opera 10; don't count on them doing anything about it.

well, he's hiring a PA not a "rockstar programmer" or a startup manager, so it's good that he is filtering out the types of people with "bold personalities, disdain for authority and desire to revolutionize everything" - if you find it creepy (and I do too, btw!), it only means that he did his job of filtering out some of the worst people for the job!

What are you talking about?
Yeah, I've only visited the Bay area & California in general, but definitely finding a place you want to be in is what I was going for -- it seems you're already thinking about that, which makes sense.

Maybe some places that recently had tech booms might be good idea? Though I don't know where you'll find better general weather than California -- Seattle? Austin? New York? Dallas? Chicago?

I live in Texas, but I do have to warn you, it gets cold here from time to time when the wind blows in the winter. sometimes

[EDIT] - Of course, outside America might be a good fit too, there are so many places, and it seems like you've got pretty much free reign -- you've got a pretty rare chance I don't think many people get (though we all decide our daily lives, I don't think many people get as clear a decision point as you have right now), enjoy it
Oh wow, I'm actually trying to make that decision right now too. Thanks for posting this.

I've been building something in my spare time and between freelance gigs. It's at a good working prototype stage. I just want to spend a solid month polishing, plugging in minimally required data, release it and see what happens from there.

At the same time, I've just been offered a new contract which will put my project on the slow track for a good half year but it's money coming in.

Being able to focus on something that I'm interested in is amazing. My creativity flows and I see results occur at a pace that keeps motivated even more.

Yet, I don't know what decision to make - Financially sound status quo or happy pipe-dream.

but... I'm reading everyone's comments with great interest.
They have a bunch of stuff on their eBay page that is not on the floor but is available for local pickup.
That isn't even the 80-20 rule..
When I recently tried to purge my server logs of referrer spam, I found that a whopping 80% of all visitors had either no referrer or referred from my own website. About a third of the rest were spam. So judging from my small sample, referrer headers are largely useless except as spam machines. They should probably be removed from HTTP anyway.
It's not just a skin. It's a new interface remade from scratch. And unlike Chrome it's actually native. Must have been a massive undertaking.

The new email client seems to be the old Opera only with browsing features removed. Must have been a quick job.

So on both of these it's the opposite of what you are claiming...
It's more about who can see it along the way than it is about who receives the request.
He's almost right. 8px is not enough but it should be at least 13px, not 11px.
Widgets have been a zombie product for years, with virtually no users and no development. It was actually removed from Opera about a year ago IIRC, so Chrome had nothing to do with it.

The only thing I'll miss from O12 is Dragonfly. Probably just a habit, but I found it much more intuitive and well designed.
It is a major thing but, as someone who's worked on it, how about addressing the parent's point?
Uh.. no. She withdrew.
I fail to see why referrer is part of any spec. Referrer is a 90's concoction when we were all so naive of future uses. I'm sure it's made a lot of porn sites some money, but affiliate marketing is not the purpose of web standards.

As far as analytics its all done with tracking cookies now, which is another issue that needs to be addressed, but Im not going to miss referer should it ever really go away.
Yeah I heard of your sleeping rough back in the day from bearwithclaws :D

So yeah we're definitely in agreement. You can survive for $500 easily -- if you find a 'bed' that costs $0 ;P
Perhaps I am wrong for seeking hacks or word it as such. I guess what I was asking for is clever andgood advice from a community I know from first hand experience is full of smart people, some of which I'm banking on them having children.

Truth is I'm young and I've never been in this position before. I've also missed out on those first two years with no idea of the damage done.

Thanks to both of you for taking the time to give me advice. It means a tonne. I think I'm getting a bit frustrated as would anyone in my position.

Document the provenance of every piece of code. Make a list of any third-party code you use, open source or proprietary, and a copy of the licenses.

At the top of each source file, make a comment with the name of the author, a copyright notice, and a pointer to your license file. If you've used version control since day 1, it can help you determine where your code comes from.

That should take care of copyright infringement.

Trademark and patent infringement might require hiring a lawyer to perform searches of relevant databases. This is going to be time-consuming and expensive for patents, and you may well end up infringing because of the awful situation of software patents. My best advice is to not mention patents and hope the customer doesn't bring up the issue.

I read somewhere that there's a ruling in the US that, unless you're a patent attorney, a court must presume that you don't know how to understand patents. And if you read a patent and incorrectly conclude that you don't infringe, that makes you aware that you infringe, and negligent because you didn't seek the advice of a patent attorney, and you're automatically liable for triple damages. But if you hadn't read the patent, you're only liable for single damages.

So it's better never to read any patents, ever, and pray you don't infringe, or if you do, that the patent holder isn't going to notice you until you're big enough to fight back.
The "Stash" feature on the speed dial page seems intended to replace it. I've long since stopped using in-browser bookmarks in favor of just keeping tabs around forever, so this seems like a good compromise.
The most annoying feature in Chrome to me is its inability to select text. Yes, you read that right, it is impossible to select text in Chrome. Instead, what you get is selected elements – divs, headlines and the like, which causes horrible breakage if you just want to select (and then copy) simple letters.
There is a parallel however - the invaders leaving a disintegrating country as they give up on it. Iraq and Afghanistan are very different but do have things in common.
What he meant is Thunderbird doesn't get new features. Bug fixes doesn't count.
It looks like most of these games were written in C++, or C. Why no Objective-C?
I find this quite amusing. Yes, it was out of place for the kid to deface the wall. Yes, he should have thought twice before proceeding with his actions, but at the end of the day, this is nothing more than a material object.

People are so quick to bash on somebody, as evident in the comments on the article. This raises the question of whether the true issue is that the kid did something that was immoral, or that these commenters and those other people who are lashing out in anger in response to this are merely using this as a way to feed their ego, or possibly as a way to justify something that they've done, that caused others to consider them to be "stupid, "irresponsible", etc.

My heart aches for each time I see a child, and often an adult, kill, a living creature. Something even so small as a fly, killed just because the fact that it is a fly and considered "annoying". Everyone has a right to life, a scratch in some 3.4 thousand year old limestone wall is not going to hurt anybody. In fact, three millennia into the future, people might regard that very same scratch to be of important historical value. The fact that people are focusing so much anger and hatred to this naive child, instead of focusing on something more important such as spreading peace and love, saddens me. And how ironic, that the very same people who are so against graffiti, graffiti on something themselves.

The reason that these artifacts exist is to tell a story, the true value in these is not the material aspect of this artifact, but the informational value. The information, although now slightly altered, is not destroyed. This is what is important. And I don't doubt that there is photographic evidence of the egyptian glyph in it's preexisting form archived somewhere, possibly in a library.

If you really wanted to deface it, you'd need to find a way to remove it from history. Only then will it's true purpose, historical archive of an important message, will be defeated.

And think about this, for everyone complaining about him defacing the artifact, wake up, you probably deface the oldest artifact in existence every day. The earth itself.
Widgets? They have been replaced by Extensions.

This applies more to an older child, but maybe it will help you.

Usually a older child can catch up, because the older child learns faster than a younger one. This is good - but it has one problem: If the catching up child skips basic practice and drills, he may still know the material (i.e. he caught up), but he's missing something.

For example teaching an older child the times table - he'll be able to learn it easily. But without the constant drills and practice he won't know the numbers off the top of his head as quickly as another child.

This can harm him (his learning) later in life. So my message is don't skip the drills! In your case you don't really need to drill potty training or speaking, since this is something everyone does constantly anyway.

But if you notice anyplace where he knows the material, but is just not as fast, and smooth, at it as he should be, then give him extra practice in it.
What do you mean native? How is this more native than Chrome?
No: he is trying to explain that the 5th ammendment was necessary because normal people understand that nobody has the right to expect an answer from you when asking you about your (possibly criminal) behaviour. However, normal people, when the ammendment was written, did not take this for granted when standing as witnesses (because it had not been taken for granted before, as history shows).

So the amendment is necessary not because of the general case (in any circumstances, it is obvious that nobody has the right to expect a self-incriminating answer to a question) but because of the specific case of a witness.

However, nowadays, people seem to need to be recalled that they are not expected to speak against themselves anywhere. Except if they willingly want to do so.

"Did you insult your classmate?" is usually not a legal proceeding. However, answering it one way or the other will help you or not. You do not need to answer that question. But quoting the Fifth for not doing so is ridiculuous: it is way before the Fifth amendment.
One word: love
Since they announced they'd been using Blink literally the same day Blink was announced, you should start listening to better sources. :P
I wish I could have tried it but as usual no love for linux users from opera, or much delayed love.

But still I have a hard time thinking that removing many features, not improving features that have been broken for years while almost doubling the size of the download is any kind of improvement.

I wish opera would release their engine as opensource so people can take it up from there. I don't want no google/apple browser or webkit only web experience.
The real irony lies in the fact that Facebook has these "issues" and it doesn't stop them from raking in millions of users, but the perfect (well, almost) typography of Posthaven's site does not seem to be helping (I am aware of the unfair comparison).

Perfect typography does not dictate the success of your product.
Yep, this is what I was looking for :) Unfortunately I need 7 users and $29 is too much for the 2 extra users I need.
Just a little caution: If you are not going to stay with this child for life, then please be very careful of his emotions.

Loss of attachment is really really really hard on children.
Salting wouldn't have changed the outcome of the cracking attempts in the article. The primary focus was on how pre-computed hashes (rainbow tables, etc.) are no longer a tool used by most people attacking password lists because GPU-based hashers are efficient enough, the dicts long enough, and the methods of permuting the dicts (combinations, leet substitutions, markov chains, etc.) are rich enough that storing all possible hashes is actually less effective than writing an MD5 kernel for your AMD GPU and letting it go, monitoring for trends in the output.
Bcrypt is an algorithm which bundles up something which pbkdf2 achieves by iterating other algorithms. They're basically the same, but you should use bcrypt. You shouldn't use both of them, I'm guessing the poster above meant / rather than +. If you want more security, increase your (b|s)crypt work factor.

If for some reason you can't bring the bcrypt code into your project, you can implement pbkdf2 using basically a loop and your stdlib's hash functions.

Scrypt takes the whole concept of placing extra demands on the computer and applies it to the RAM rather than the CPU (perhaps as well as?,) the idea being that RAM is harder to accumulate in obscene quantities than CPU power.
A thing I've noticed is that pinch to zoom is much more smooth than Chrome in OS X.

Mozilla recently placed Thunderbird in a maintenance-only state, where active feature development has ceased but stability, security, and speed improvements will continue to be merged. This is why Thunderbird is on v17 instead of Firefox's v21 after graduating versions in lockstep with Fx for a while.

It doesn't mean they won't accept features, they've just stated that they're not going to be focusing any of their development wherewithal on these.

Personally I think it's a good move as TB has plenty of features for a mail client but could really do with some optimization to speed and memory usage.
While the American army might be mostly disciplined and ethical, but there have been notable and terrible exceptions to this. The repercussions of these colossal lapses have been to further alienate a skeptical population of an occupied country. If your invading with a overriding mission statement that claims the moral high ground, scrutiny is going to be intense - the occupiers have been found wanting.
It's also meant to be used as a reference for distro package maintainers. If your code builds properly with the current platform, you can be confident it will build properly in most systems.
No middle click on tab bar to create new tab.

Simple mouse gestures work, but without visual guide, configuration and without right click + scroll.

Most horrible thing: MDI don't work. Popups opens in new window, like other browsers, instead of new tabs, like old Opera! Alerts currently don't have any chrome, so may be they would develop this later.

Opera Link don't work.

Text selection in links via mouse don't work.

No sidebar.

Verdict: in current state unusable for old Opera users.
This is the default behaviour, thought it indeed likely means sensitive referrers are being leaked from website X to third party website Y. In most cases I'd wager people aren't aware this is the default behaviour.

An example where the default behaviour may be appropriate is Facebook interacting with third party apps.

Facebook may be happy to pass referrer information across to these third party apps as long as they handle it securely. If the referrer goes across HTTP, it goes across the Internet in plaintext (unsecure). By ensuring it travels over HTTPS, you're at least ensuring a minimal level of security.

Scale-free engineering
Are you proposing a JS to JS filter that

a) checks if functions/modules are eligible for asm-ifying (that is, it only uses asm.js functionality, no metaprogramming, only using asm.js "heap", do I oversee something?)
b) adds a "use asm" to the function/module
c) adds the correct type information
d) perhaps compiles some JS functionality into asm.js (I'm thinking of the heap, which could be precompiled under certain constraints, but it's probably better to make the compiler not too smart)

> You seem to have confused Afghanistan with Iraq. Afghanistan is not a major oil producer.

It's about keeping oil flowing - at least being extracted if not sold. But yes in Afghanistan that is currently more pipelines than oil-wells. The TAPI pipeline for instance is proposed to move huge amount of Turkmeni oil through Afghanistan.

> indeed the main contract to develop fields there was signed by the Chinese.

Sure. Why not? The goal is to keep oil flowing now, not (rationally) hoarded. Anything other than leaving it in the ground is fine,

But anyways - the point wasn't that 100% of the reason was oil, because the ability to use their airspace, have lasting bases, etc, is also of huge value. My point was that the official reasons were specifically untrue - almost zero utility came pursing from the stated reasons for the invasions - Bin Laden and WMDs (in Iraq). Mainly, of course, because both reasons were essentially fictions.

> ... and the people from the oil reserves (shut the taps off, see the price skyrocket ...

I think ultimately they had roughly the same desires for Iraqi oil: get it the hell out of Iraqi/neighboring soil as quickly as possible before the inconvenient locals have anything to say about it. Even if they have to "share" with them

And then, yes some people want to play it smart and hoard to watch the prices rise. But none of them wanted an economic meltdown so their policy isn't going to be to stop selling oil, but to stop selling their oil and make the other guy sell his. Having the USA (and select allies) being the last ones with oil is the winning position for both factions (as you describe it) of the Bush government - they merely differed on mid-game strategy.
