One of the most impressive girls I went to school with was kinda intimidating in her ferocious intelligence and confidence, but if I didn't dare to approach her, it was simply because it was painfully obvious she was out of my league, not because I didn't like her. She never sucked up, not to teachers and not to peers, she never failed to say what she thought, she played the piano and the violin and aced every single test anyone handed to her. And one time she passed some sweets on to me during class, and then laughed her ass off, because she had them in the mouth before wrapping them up again. If I utterly adored one girl in that time, it was her; so much I never dared to even fall in love with her.

In contrast, I never considered "neat and docile" pupils smart, just lame.

That wasn't even my two cents, just shamelessly indulging in nostalgia haha.
I would recommend that you make your website more responsive (i.e. currently, resizing my browser window does not resize the content). It feels very "empty" with the white background, no borders, and centered content. At least expand the top bar to take up the entire screen, which should go a long way towards framing content.
According to an ex-Stasi chief on these revelations: “It is the height of naivete to think that once collected this information won’t be used”.

Not that this should be considered proof, but I just compared nightly and 22 side by side on Ubuntu 12.10 (Unity) and I can certainly perceive an appreciable difference. Great stuff.

The reply above explained it better. Intel CPUs are the equivalent to the ARM CPUs in the GPU solution and the big benefit of the FPGA is feeding data into the 64 core chip without being constrained to PCIe. (The FPGA has DSP cores too so it'll be able to feed processed data from sensors faster than an equiv Intel would).
First of all - a lot of the fonts available on Typekit - actually, anywhere, are, ahem, inspired by H&FJ.

This is the first offering that matches the H&FJ to quality. For instance, my favorite font at the moment is Ideal Sans. The concept here is to infuse a sans serif with an almost handlettered quality. There are no straight lines. Consequently it's hard to make it look good for the screen, period, let alone at small sizes. But they've done it.

RandsInRepose.com has been beta testing it and it's gotten notably better over the past year, I think.
Ironically, opting out by people like you is part of what makes it work for the advertisers.

Basically, it is hard enough to opt-out that only the few people who really hate junk mail do it. This improves the efficiency of the channel from say 0.9% to 1.1% response rates (just guessing).

Until someone like Outbox starts taking the responders out of the channel, the advertisers won't change behavior.
Speaking for a family of four in Chicago: the amount of crap mail we get is a constant chore, and we regularly miss important things amidst the piles of upsell offers from the banks that own our mortgage, or the dealership that sold us a car, or the store we mail-ordered a pan from once, &c.

I think you're wrong about the appeal of this service. I wish we had something like it here.

Also, "laziness"? What does that even mean? There's a finite number of minutes in every day. Make a case for why I should spend any of those minutes dealing with paper mail. How many other goods and services do you use that we could interrogate as a facilitator of "laziness"?
Wouldn't you just end up with junk on your stoop?
Can you say which one? Thanks!

the seven year old MySQL bug

http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=20786
Hey everyone, I'm starting a weekly newsletter for freelancers. It will be a weekly roundup of useful articles, resources and job postings for freelance programmers. I'll personally curate it, so you can be assured the quality is high (see my profile and HN history to be sure).

Please sign up at http://freelancers.getgini.com.

The first issue comes out this Thursday.
> It's a mix of rewriting long stories into 3-5 paragraph summaries (with appropriate links back), and original commentary.

I never read your site so please take this with a grain of salt. But I assume the long stories were not your writing, right? You were taking other people's writing and condensing it down. That's not really that valuable or useful, and might have violated this part of the HN guidelines:

> Please submit the original source. If a blog post reports on something they found on another site, submit the latter.

I work at Google but not on this product.. so I escalated your issue to the team that works on the anti-phishing classifier. They're looking into it now, and put you on a temporary whitelist in the mean time (should take effect within 30 mins).

One other option to gitolite is SCM-Manager[1]. It's written in Java and can be deployed to an application server or installed as a standalone version.

I've used it for a year and I've been quite happy with it.

smosher got downvoted because intuition is not helpful here. We can sit around and talk about what we feel might be an answer, but if we don't have any information, it's just random noise.
what's the project?
Perhaps on a strong development machine, the resource-heavy Chrome is enjoyable.

However, on a more limited machine (Since when is a 4GB machine not good enough to browse the web???), Firefox definitely wins and is much more enjoyable.

I was a long time Chrome user ever since it came out. However, recent versions (on OS X and Windows) are unusable with a large number of tabs. Firefox handles many tabs much better.
How are they not learning effectively? And do you have any sources or evidence to back up your claims of cheating or bribing teachers? Workload isn't an issue. It isn't like kids aren't capable of sitting for hours upon hours, they do these things in front of computers and TVs, the problem is that the public school curriculum is flawed.
Interesting! I guess most phishing guys have this on their URL and in their page. Therefore it MUST mean that every page with those keys are phishing... just great.

I don't see why we still have co-ed education in the early grades. It does boys no good to be told they're behaving badly for not being able to sit still in class, and it does girls no good to have boys disrupting class while they're trying to learn.
That's a bold assumption. You don't really know how much of your personality is based on reactions from your gut (spleen, heart, etc).
Given all of the NSA/PRISM revelations as of late, wouldn't you want exactly the opposite of this?
Agreed. Agreed. I invested a year working on an app that was going to be followed my many. Soon after launch I discovered that people, for the most part, want free shit. A few apps are "blessed" be Apple and they do very well. Everyone else works for nothing. Apple benefits just the same and couldn't care less about making app discovery and the entire ecosytem better and more fair for the average developer. I am sure there are outliers but my current gut feeling about the iOS app world is that it a foolish pursuit.

Let's put it this way: Had I invested the same number of hours begging for change at a freeway off-ramp, instead of coding, I would have made vastly more money. How is that for a cold hard reality? I wonder how many published app authors feel the same way.
That depends. If you're grafting Frank's head onto Mr Stein's body, you get...

Well. Moving right along.
This is sweet. Also because I love what they are doing on javascript development. For example,

1. Destructuring references is not yet supported on Chrome

[a,b,c]=[c,d,f]
[a,b]=[b,a+b]

2. Shorthand functions are sweet

[1,2,3,4].map(function(x) x*x)) // [1,4,9,16]

3. Chrome doesn't have an inbuilt shell (Shift+F4 in Firefox)

Granted CoffeeScript makes some of these easy, but they are too paranoid in my opinion to support new and useful syntaxes (e.g. yield keyword for generators, getters/setters).
I don't follow "the street" very closely, but as a gamer I know he became the very public face of Xbox One and everything about that product that caused the huge backlash against that product post-E3.

The fact that they had to publicly back out of a lot of the early decisions he made suggests Microsoft saw some real numbers on how negatively the Xbox One backlash was hurting them (eg. PS4 vs Xbox One preorder numbers).
Good point. I imagine the spinal cross connecting step would have to be preceded by some careful electrical probing and labeling of which spinal pathways are connected to which nerve endings.
Image macros come from Japanese message boards; they are not really related to the faux motivational posters that are commonly known as "demotivationals".

This kinda thing seems perfect for elastic computing. They could scaleup the front-end on demand, and use S3 or whatever for actual storage, then aggressively delete older or less popular content. If their traffic drops, just scale down.

"Cloud" in this manner seems like a great hedge for sites that rely on somewhat fickle popularity.

Two important take-aways:

1) Your physical mail is destroyed eventually - not stored for perpetuity.

2) This doesn't have to be an alternative to your home-address mail; it can also be used as a P.O. box.

We might be talking past each other here. No one is saying that it's a good business plan to assume that programs like BizSpark will never run out. That is of course a bad idea. But since no one suggested that, I assumed you were saying that using things like BizSpark at all is a bad idea.... which is not the case.

A valid business plan can be created that involves the pricing structures that Microsoft gives. You can have a plan that involves using a program from MS that gives you their software for free now, with the idea that you will eventually be able to afford to pay for them. Any company worth existing should be able to afford it eventually.

And, hey, look, it even happens that those windows of time can be extended. No one is saying that it would be a good business plan to rely on programs like BizSpark never ending... but it's still worth mentioning that MS has been forgiving if things don't go exactly as planned, and provides a way to delay the fees kicking in.
I don't understand why anyone would think letting a company take your mail, read it, make a database from scanning its contents, then decide what you get to see from it, is preferable to the seconds it takes to throw a few envelopes in the trash.

Ooh, here, let me give you my email passwords so you can delete all the spam from my inbox too...
I dunno, try reading Machine Man by Max Barry. The protagonist would only partially agree.
That's partly why I release an open source plugin for jQuery, hoping others might pick it up and suggest improvements.
There is a strong argument that the BMD systems create friction for allies who would prefer to have smoother relations with Russia.

As far as I remember this country was created for the living people, not for the wealth and power of the aristocracy that has assumed control of it.

No matter how much the media conflate the two, the USA is not equivalent to its government. Nor is it the same as its foreign policy or international political image. US society is made up of real people and there is no evidence that Snowden's information has harmed the society.

But let's take it further. If you suppose that the USA's image was harmed, you should realize the fact that Snowden did not harm its image. It was harmed by the activities which Snowden's leaks revealed.
Very interested Ranking of startup by Country
But, there are only 1500 startups around the world. Maybe would be interesting that all enterpreneurs register more startups.
Champions of human rights don't go to russia for "asylum" - it's where defecting spies go.

So let's just call it like it is: he's defecting.

Less and less, at this point, are his actions about government accountability and civil rights, and more and more about damaging US national security for the benefit of its (completely NON-free) adversaries

I hope he relishes his unbounded freedoms in Russia, since it's a place of government/defense/intelligence-agency transparency, a bastion of free speech & democracy, and a place where journalists are not routinely murdered. At least he's out of the tyrannical USA.

Oh, wait...
Of course -- H&FJ is an excellent foundry, and they're not competing in the same space as, say, Google Web fonts. That's what I mean by not competitive. It's a completely different league, as it sounds like you're well aware.

The people who like H&FJ for the quality will subscribe and use this service, while those looking for a commodity option will avoid it -- perhaps even to the benefit of H&FJ.

I know I'll subscribe shortly, which is why I hope this works for their business. It really is an interesting decision when compared to the providers whose offerings keep dropping in price to compete in a commodity market.
I wonder if the nerve subsystem is generic at all. My bet is that genetic differences, life experiences and brain storage~ will be far too coupled for connecting two different bodies and expecting it too work. But I just remembered that there has been successful hand transplants so I'll just take the door.
Once the JOBS Act regulations go through and companies can crowd-fund for equity, early rounds should go lightning fast.

The problem is it will be difficult for the crowd-funding websites to organize and adapt with regulations and the new marketplace that is being created.

For instance, if there are 1,500 investors in the Seed round, how do you decide who the official advisors are? Will people be wary investing in companies without a known advisor or investor already "in?" And if so, will that mean that crowd funding won't be necessarily all that helpful to companies struggling to find that first investor?

> Realistically, that's not much of a concession, even though the Russians will play it up as such. It'll be a political hit for Obama from the 10 people who still care about it in the US, but in terms of international politics, it won't be all that much.

Are you joking? Do you not remember how Republicans attacked Obama during the election for being cozy with Russia? There is a big block of older voters who grew up in the cold war who will flip at something like that.

That's a defence mechanism against support people that aren't there to help, but just to make them give up before they are allowed to talk with someone that can actualy help.

The problem is that once trained, people start doing it instinctively, even with the people that can actualy help.
No warning with Version 27.0.1453.110
It seems to me that downloading a subset of a typeface from a webpage would be less practical than downloading an entire collection from a torrent.

Concerning the service itself: according to their product page, H&FJ requires you to include a remote stylesheet rather than javascript. I would say this is the "minimum viable evil" if you are striving to centralize distribution of your webfonts; while annoying, there are some advantages for the user (in this case, free Akamai).

Edit: I just checked a couple of torrent search engines and, apparently, there are not many up-to-date torrents for H&FJ typefaces. In hindsight, I suppose that the population of individuals who are likely to share files illegally and that of professional/dedicated designers have very little overlap.
The reason I don't buy that line of reasoning is: The Lions eat the Gazelles, yet there are still Gazelles out there. Also, Gazelles and Zebras share the same land, and one hasn't starved the other of resources. And I don't think that is is just because they came from the same single-celled ancestors that make them able to share the same space. In the same way, I would expect other independent biogenesis lifeforms to still be represented (or new ones popping up periodically).
Being able to work with data like I work with code is something of a holy grail. I'll watch this with interest.

It would be nice if the antiphishing filter also gave some good way for web developers to figure out why this happened and what to do to correct this.
I find this interesting. I didn't think of Google local listing as not organic but I did the search in the article[1] and sure enough it takes a lot of the real estate. Perhaps, Google could publish a standard way to write your own self-hosted Places page? We will still have questions on how the ranking will work and whether Google will prioritize its own Google+ place pages over self-hosted place pages but I think this would be a start. What do you think?
