The Automation Revolution Can Save the World... but only if we want it to
That's an awfully pessimistic view. I don't know that I can dissuade you of it as it's more of a mode of thinking than a view that can be proven or disproven, but I don't know that I could continue to live in a world in which I thought that was the case.

I guess I see it like this: despite the various ups and downs we in the first world see, there is more equality and a higher median standard of living today than there ever has been in the history of the world. I can only hope that the trend is generally upwards over time. It has been so far.
I understand that GitHub is pretty important for a lot of businesses/organizations. But is this really news worthy?

something like CloudFlare CDN would probably make this a non-issue - the actual host would get very few hits.
I second this.

There is a few tools I would like to see developed to help this process, so I still need illustrator or fireworks (haven't used PSD for a long time after religiously using it for almost a decade) for a few things, especially when sketching concepts, but other than that it's easier and faster to script it.

Now if someone would develop a proper animation tool then that would get me excited. Something like how Flash was in the beginning. I know how to user after effects and can kind of get around Quarts, but they are both every cumbersome and not by default very well integrated into the design process.
When storage availability is degraded and I can't even clone my repositories (not using the web interface at all) it is pretty enraging to see the status page and twitter account talking about angry unicorns. I get that ruby devs understand this, but not all of us who use Github know or care about them using Unicorn as their webserver. It seems to us like they are trying to be cute and funny at a poor time.

Hardly a new practice or even "movement". Its just a way of development, a process, I've been doing it since I was thirteen.
I always found this interesting. For the designers that simply cannot write HTML code to reflect the desired design. What tools are they using to get the job done? Are they just taking existing templates and "hacking" it together?
Yes I would, but I'd follow the standard responsible disclosure rules that are fairly common place. As far as the information that's been presented makes out, there was no responsible disclosure. In fact, weev attempted to say they were going down that route whilst at the same time discussing on irc how they could use the information for fairly black hat purposes.

I think the industry basically needs to take the informal responsible disclosure rules and try and get them made a bit more formal, for everyones benefit.

the average UX person is not capable of doing HTML5/css3 in my experience.
The only way in the real world to kill to PSDs is to have an easy-to-use WYSIWYG web design tool which would allow designers (and the non-technical) to eliminate HTML production pros. This has existed for desktop publishing since the 80s when programs like PageMaker eliminated the need for designers to work with phototypesetters who entered everything by hand.

I suspect the reason that this hasn't happen is because HTML has always been an evolving standard. So while you can use your copy of Quark from ten years ago today, you wouldn't be advised to do that with a ten year old copy of Dreamweaver if you want to make an HTML5 site.

Another reason Photoshop comps exist is because of clients who can't comprehend the abstract. As someone who does IA I can tell you that time I've had many clients (who are very intelligent) who just can't go from the abstraction of quickly done wireframes that show navigation to what the final site will be. So until you have clients like that (and maybe they're a generation away) you'll need Photoshop to what that final site will look like. And I say that knowing that Photoshop is really a hack given what the sites can do.

I've been using Adobe Brackets for a while now, called Edge Code in Adobe's CC suite, and find it quite helpful in building out a page from scratch. It feeds your changes to a Chrome window in real-time with visual feedback so it's easy to play with fonts, colors, and other CSS-based stuff. Has a decent selection of user-created extensions as well.

It has its quirks and constantly being updated so don't always expect commercial-quality right away on new features.

Don't worry, encipher it
Given that the languages that compile to JavaScript include Java, C, C++ and C#, both offers are roughly the same.

Now, on one side, the default language is Java + proprietary APIs. Through the NDK, this can be extended to native stuff and through Cordova/Phonegap, this can be extended to HTML5-ish stuff. On the other side, the default language is JavaScript + portable-but-not-available-everywhere APIs. Through Emscripten, this can be extended to native stuff and through the list I posted earlier, this can be extended to gazillions of languages. While you seem to prefer Java, it really strikes me as roughly equivalent in terms of freedom of choice for the language.

Both platforms are impressively richer than iOS, one defaults to Java, the other to JavaScript, news at 11.
I'm curious; given that HN represents a community that could very well be construed as the "power user" archetype, how much would people here have paid for Reader as a service? $5/month? $100/year? Free with a Google Drive subscription?

Due to the rotation of the Earth it's advantageous to have your rocket launch facility as close to the Equator as possible. For the US that means the southern end of Florida, and while there are plenty of big empty deserts in the US, the southern end of Florida is not one of them. OTOH there's convenient big empty desert at the southern end of Kazakhstan (which was the southern end of the USSR when they were picking a launch site).

(FWIW Baikonur is still quite a way north of the Equator. AIUI a joint ESA-Russia Soyuz launch pad is now being built at the ESA launch site in French Guiana, which should save them a chunk of fuel).

SCM support I usually turn off as it adds iteration lag typically. Prefer the scm tools directly almost always.

Without knowing the context, it sounds like you didn't get banned for the content of the posting, but for asking your existing users to come and upvote you en masse. That's generally considered to undesirably skew the voting, and will get detected and flagged.

Not at all. Laws are frequently struck down by courts for being unconstitutional, sometimes after many years of being in force.
Highly practical.

More than just making the design process much more conducive to iteration, you also have a designer doing the implementation. This is great, because it means that you no longer have to explain that a certain design treatment can't be done in code. Moreover, if there's a problem with the experience of using a certain element, the designer can change it on the fly with little overhead.

"Please stop with the physical analogies.", weev relied on one during his defence, so they're fair game.

The social contract of the web is usurped by the legal contract of society, whether or not the way the legal framework is being applied in a just and fair manner is certainly up for debate.

And honestly can you say, hand on heart, that the intention of the AT&T developers was to purposefully leave that hole there? That'd be lunacy. Clearly it's a mistake, an 'oh crap, we didn't think of that'.
That's exactly my feeling on it. Since I left Facebook at the start of 2011, I've seen my friends just as much --- perhaps more --- than when I was on there, and I hear from them at least as frequently. The only difference is that I don't get the occasional, insincere message from people I went to school with who are bored and looking for something to do.

I got started like this:

Get started doing things. Don't read, work on your first project. I suggest playing with Twitter Boostrap, then combine it with Jekyll. With knowledge in static landing pages you can charge the 35€ / hour for sure. You will be making highly conversion oriented landing pages.

Once you master jekyll, move on, test Sinatra. This will allow you to understand more about HTTP and more.

With basics in Sinatra, create your first Rails project. Deploy everything on Heroku. Kaizen, self improvement. Keep working hard.
> Somehow, the US government is spying on every piece of internet traffic for the grad sum of $20M a year.

PRISM is nowhere near 'spying on all traffic', which is how NSA was able to do it for $20M a year.
SMTP is pretty old. RFC 821[1] is from 1982. RFC 722 (Mail Transfer Protocol) is from 1980. The early hackers didn't want security; passwords were often the string PASSWORD for example.

Pretty Good Privacy[2] was first released 10 years later. Cryptography can be computationally expensive.

There was a bunch of stuff that they just didn't think about when SMTP was created, and changing the protocols is glacially slow.

For example, Project Gutenberg started when Michael Hart wanted everyone to have a copy of the US constitution, and started emailing it to everyone. Spam has been a significant problem for SMTP but nothing really has been put in the RFCs to help.

Anyone designing a mail protocol wouldn't come up with SMTP, but no-one with RFC influence is going to create an SMTP replacement, and so we're getting locked in with easier closed-garden communications. Facebook makes it easy for me to chat or message someone, but it's horrible compared to the nice RFC standards.

We've had WYSIWYG web editors for years. It's just another tool for someone who doesn't know what they're doing to create something they don't understand how it works. This is fine for people who have a specific need but for others it is not a solution.

Why couldn't you make an HTML5 site with a ten-year-old copy of Dreamweaver? Sure you won't get fancy stuff like code highlighting and suggestions but you could make a HTML5 site with notepad if one really wanted to.

I agree about the clients angle. Clients want to see the images of what the end of the project will look like. Until that changes, mockups will always be with us.

This game is highly addictive, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Some usability issues from memory for the next iteration (some that others have pointed out):

- The 'up' and 'down' arrows when allocating workers have a much-too-small clickable area. Compounding this was a slight offset between the arrow image and the clickable area

- Allocating workers & allocating the spoils after a battle both shared the problem of only being able to increment by one unit at a time. Lots of annoying clicking.

- When you hover over the worker allocation button when there are no workers allocated it doesn't indicate whether the various resources will be consumed or produced. You have to allocate at least one worker to find out this info.

- It took me ages to figure out that the 'gather wood' button is independent of the villagers gathering wood. I still don't really understand the relationship between 'check traps' and bait and allocating extra hunters/trappers.

- as mentioned elsewhere here, there's a popdown over buttons showing what resources are required by the button. This is incredibly annoying when it obscures another click target, especially during a fight.

- (As Aardwolf pointed out) When gathering the spoils or as an enemy denies, the layout changes and the buttons jump around, meaning it's very easy to unintentionally click on e.g. 'leave city'

- It's a bit annoying to have to switch between the 'raucous village' and 'small room' tabs to figure out which resources are low and how to allocate workers

- When you find fur etc. in the traps it should say how much fur is found

- It's kind of hard to figure out what resources are going where. Maybe each message from the stream of messages down the right hand could be positioned as a callout bubble beside the resource or item that is affected.

Hope this is constructive and super job — great originality!

> In a few years, it will just be taken for granted that the US government listens to / stores data on everything you do.

I doubt it. Google/Apple/Facebook/AWS/AWS customers/Microsoft have more non-US customers than US customers, and while the US population might not care, all of those "foreign entities" that Obama explained are targeted without warrants aren't going to put their high-value confidential data into those services now that this is common knowledge.

These companies had better get their asses in gear and get this whole surveillance architecture shut down, or it's curtains for the US internet industry.

If this isn't visibly and loudly fixed, nobody (the 6.5+bn nobodies that don't get 4th amendment protections) will trust US-based companies with high value data ever again. (It may already be too late, if only because if they shut down this one, their track record of dishonesty and evasion suggests they'd just build another and lie about its existence like they did this time 'round.)

There are already European municipalities banning the use of Google Apps on security grounds, for instance. This is just the beginning.

> As a US citizen, its bullshit that a country can revoke your right to travel outside of itself.

Countries don't provide (or revoke) your right to travel outside of their sovereign jurisdiction (which would be contrary to the entire idea of sovereign jurisdiction); they can, however, revoke their willingness to represent to other countries that they have some kind of relationship with you. (They can also stop you from exiting their jurisdiction while you are still inside it, and though the US would have liked to have done that in Snowden's case, it didn't have the opportunity.)

Its the country you are currently in and the one you are attempting to enter that control whether or not you have the "right" to travel.
That's just it. Being a racist/bigot and saying racist/bigoted things is not illegal in the U.S. Witness the Ku Klux Klan, or the Westboro Baptist Church.

That example is not at all the same as what's being discussed. The issue at hand is whether access to a public URL is authorized and who is responsible for determining that authorization.
See, the problem with your lack of experience is that you also don't realize how does the "platform lock-in" work.

There are no universal APIs and calling something "open" does not make it so. Even when you are writing plain C over POSIX you have to port to every system out there because the systems are different. Graphics API are, by their nature, very platform specific and in this case - the easier, the better. So simple APIs on consoles are, in fact, less "locking" you than complex PC APIs. It takes less time to change simple APIs than complex. Pretty easy to move things between PS3 and 360, good luck moving an OpenGL extension using code between different vendor drivers even on PC. Or OpenGL ES to/from OpenGL 3.0 or, even, DirectX 9 to/from DirectX 11.

I have no experience with mobile, but don't you have different languages for iPhone and Android? And good luck finding Objective-C and Java elsewhere. But you have no problem with that because you have not been elsewhere.

When/if you get more experience or, following my advice, talk to somebody who has more experience you will read your own message here and laugh together with me.
Im with shire...there are tons of great resources out there at a fraction of the cost or FREE.

> The effect was stronger for women who cared more about maths.

No shit? People who are more interested in something are usually better at it?
Physical analogies are perfectly appropriate in this context. Just because someone accidentally exposes a function via their website that divulges information that isn't supposed to be viewable doesn't mean it is ok. If I've never met someone in real life who left their door unlocked nor communicated with them before I rob them, just like the web, both are still illegal.

>The social contract of the web is that "you can send a request to any webserver on the internet without permission". That's how the web _works_.

DDoS'ing a bank website is against the law, but you are just sending a request to a webserver right? The law will disagree...Again it is all about context. If weev made one request to the website, noticed he was looking at data that he knew shouldn't be available to him, then quit, I'm sure he would be just fine right now. But since he didn't this is why he is in trouble. Again the law isn't binary (to the major dismay and hang wringing it causes on this website), so it is up to the law to determine intent. Was he doing this by accident and should be slapped on the wrist? Or was he doing this maliciously?
