Matatu-thon:Taking mobile gaming in Uganda to a whole new level
I think the reason for this is that the industry in general has moved more to a MVC approach than this. No one wants to mix their server side code with HTML anymore. In fact, more and more, people want to delay the rendering of HTML until it hits the browser.

I don't think it would be very hard to to rewrite livewire as node module though, if you were really interested in it.
I implemented a policy to only use the most bland test data while testing my apps, and it's saved me a few times when, for whatever reason, there was an accidental leakage of test data through to the client (whether it sneaks into a slideshow, or a test email is accidentally sent to a production email address, or...). I've been around development long enough to know that at some point, this type of leakage WILL occur, and it will be embarrassing when a customer sees a dummy entry for "Dickhead Buttface" or similar.

While it's excruciating and boring to use plain test data, you'll be glad you did it when you have an accidental leak between environments.

Most of my posts are written on an iPhone. As such, autocorrect sometimes "fixes" these sorts of things. Sadly, these changes often look right even when I scan over my writing with the aim of catching errors.

They pull 3 million viewers for the first showing in the US. Then there are all the catch-up viewings later in the week plus the showings in foreign markets. I don't know if BB will be syndicated, usually takes around 100 episodes before a series can be syndicated, but it is definitely sold on bluray and DVD.

Vague hints are fine, but putting "SPOILER ALERT" right above the answer doesn't help; it's impossible to read past those posts to see the less giveaway hints.
Wow, this article kind of made me gag. "...absolutely nothing on any screen that is more important than the time I spend with my kid...". Well then you should quick your job, never go out with friends, never read a book - because hey, they aren't as important as spending time with your daughter.

As a father of three, I've learned it's okay to drift after playing Candyland for the 10th time. It's called being human. Your child isn't some precious stone you need to admire 24 hours a day - it's okay to live your life too. And you're in trouble if they begin to feel it's your job to entertain them every minute of the day.

>Hell no. Software comes from software development. And software development is a process. My editor, programming style, directory structures and other personal organizational behaviours do matter. This is work we do, and while the end user's experience may be identical regardless of very different personal development style options, the one which gives me the most comfort and work satisfaction is superior.

Only nobody cares about you.

As in a restaurant, people care about the food, not the cook.

And even if you (and I) mattered, developers of a piece of software are N, where users are 1000N or 100000000N. They matter massively more.

Oh, and there will always be programmers as long as there are money to be made, so the "without me [in particular] there would be no software" argument doesn't hold much either.

This is very cool. There was an interesting project at a former employer which used ambient light to power conference room schedule displays, attached to the outside of conference rooms.

Something like that with e-ink would be even nicer (you can save up energy for changing things rather than keeping an LCD on)

There was also some interesting robotics work out of Mark Tilden's lab called BEAM which was primarily solar powered things but it would be really cool to do those things with backscatter powered energy harvesting devices.

Dart is very Node-like is that it's event based, but almost all async APIs are based on Future and Streams, including all IO, and therefore any other packages that do IO, like database drivers. This makes things very consistent and composable.

On top of that you get to use a much nicer language than JavaScript.
I see one vote for Other without any comment explaining which other OS it is. I'd be interested to see what pops up: Android, ChromeOS and FirefoxOS are really Linux variants; I suppose iOS stands on its own. VMS is certainly in use but probably not on the desktop. I suppose there are some Solaris folks...what else?
>To use his language, I agree that the "whole thing fucked", but I also think it's fun. I enjoy the fact that things are a challenge and sometimes quirky.

The problem is that the wrong things are fucked and that's neither challenging nor fun.

E.g configuring some system so you can get your software built correctly is neither fun not challenging. It's merely tedious busy-work. Actually solving problems, that's the fun part.

http://www.spreedly.com provides credit card vaulting as a service. You can build your own billing system on top of it with minimal PCIDSS compliance burden. They support 53 different gateways for using that information once you've stored it, all with a single unified API.

You're also not locking yourself into a payment processor, which you are if you choose to build on top of Stripe or anyone else. By not using any processor's storage solution, you're free to bill your customers with one processor one day, and another the next. You might like Stripe now, and they might lock your account for suspected fraud tomorrow, or some new shiny payment startup called Polkadot might be who you want to use in 3 years.

I'm sorry, I had no idea that you were this far out there. There's not much point in debating you if we're not on the same page about the realities of his actions.
"Your information is now public" ... as in, your full name and the fact that you went to Outside Lands and lost something? I don't see what the big deal here is. Coachella had a very similar practice when it came to trying to reunite owners w/ their IDs and credit cards. They are not posting credit card numbers, they are not posting cities... there is nothing identifying at all that would pose any danger to these people in real life that cannot be found on a public LinkedIn or Facebook profile.
Sift Science intern here. We used the latter for the purposes of this map.
OS X, Windows with Ubuntu VM.
Why? What are you trying to measure?

I use exactly that setup too. I'd spend most of my day in the Ubuntu machine and the rest in a web browser on osx. The only reason I have both is that I used to need photoshop.
I don't think this is true:

You have no basis to say that everything sought was produced.

It is true that the subpoena asked for it, but a response to a subpoena that supplies what can be supplied and explains why the rest can't be supplied would not trigger another court docket entry unless the government didn't believe the explanation.

Because a subpoena is filed before the government actually contacts the witness, the government typically asks for everything it could possibly get or want.

It does now, even supporting libass to render ASS/SSA subtitles.
I use OS X with VMWare for a couple development Linux machines.

I just can't shake some of the Apple apps (e.g., Aperture, Pages, or Keynote) to be able to switch to Linux full-time.
Ditto for me. I'm switching to Ubuntu at work when I get a new laptop.
I use all of these so I upvoted all of them.

At home I use a Windows machine, two Arch Linux boxes, and an ARM Arch distro. I have a VPS with Ubuntu on it. At work I mostly use FreeBSD as my workstation and the production server cluster uses it. We have an ubuntu box in there somewhere too. Most of the office is using mac, so if the mood strikes me to go mobile with a laptop I pick one up from a stack of the things and wonder around with a mac. My hacker space has some old sparc machines I was thinking of grabbing... but I don't need another nightstand.

If you asked me this a few years ago, I'd say I used z/OS quite a bit too.
Ubuntu as main machine. I have OSX on a MacBook Air for wife (I actually dualboot Ubuntu for me as well).

Ubuntu for all servers everywhere.
I have no connection to Ansible or the deal but I think that you are probably forgetting the team that got them to the current state, their future potential and what they can do with 6M.
iOS is OS X. I'd bet it's someone who either didn't realize that the two popular mobile OS's are variants of common desktops, or someone who is playing with something like BeOS or Plan 9 or some other more obscure OS.

Could be someone who is writing their own.
for the one after that, you need to fix the grammatical mistake, and the typo.

Next one has a hint (but I haven't gotten it yet... my first guess takes me to nowhere special, PNG, as far as I can tell... trying variations on Flores etc. aren't working)
At the bottom of one.htm it asks you whether you've finished reading the instructions; to which you answer the affirmative.

one.htm also states that only slight modifications are needed between the two sections (only one letter needs to be inserted)
My parents never used to let me use my real name on the internet, even for productive content that I'd choose to take credit for.

The fact that I exist doesn't expose me to pedophiles. Any idiot can buy a copy of the middle school phone directory and see my name, address, and phone number. A pedophile looking for children to molest would get more for his effort in a parked car a block away from school at 3:00 than in my WHOIS records.

I don't use my name on HN because I sometimes play devil's advocate in ways that could be used against me if taken out of context. That's a deliberate choice and specific to this forum. But why does biographical information (in isolation) deserve protection? Can't I go to the University of Central Oklahoma registrar's office and get the full names of thousands and thousands of people who went there, as well as what states they're from?

It's slightly weird for the fact that someone attended Outside Lands to be revealed, and I agree it'd be better to avoid disclosing that, but what exactly is so wrong about that?
Ubuntu 13.04 and loving every minute of it. Dual-boot Windows 7 for various things like gaming and managing my Zune HD.

I've considered running Mint or some other popular distro on an old laptop of mine.
I use different OSes for different purposes. I use Windows in Parallels on a Mac, alongside several other Macs running various versions of OSX. I have a FreeBSD 9.1 server and an Arch Linux server, as well as a bunch of VPSes I use in my cluster.

I also have a laptop I use to run AROS and an older laptop and a couple of PCs that run Plan9. To be fair the PCs and laptop are mostly switched off, I mainly used them for distributed processing.

I desperately want to run AROS as a main OS but it's just not there yet for me. I've got haiku on my list of things to try as a personal desktop OS.

I use a mixture of iOS, stock Android and custom-built cyanogenmod firmwares on mobile devices. Granted, Android is technically Linux but I'm surprised neither that nor iOS were down as options.
Windows 8 with Virtual Box running Ubuntu. I do all my dev work in the VM, and everything else in Windows. I used to be a die-hard OS X user, but then I realized I could build a beast of a desktop for less than half the price of a Pro.
I use all of these except BSD, unless OS X counts in that regard...
Linux Mint for about 5 months now. Even got the wife to convert other desktop to Mint.
Ubuntu, Windows XP, 7, 8 and Chrome OS...
Wow, talk about taking things out of context, but I guess this is what you get from "consumer watchdog" via RT.

The "quote" in question is that of a lawyer citing a previous ruling (they do that a lot) to counter a specific allegation:

“a person has no legitimate expectation of privacy in information he voluntarily turns over tothird parties.”
Smith v. Maryland,
442 U.S. 735, 743-44 (1979).

The whole case is built on trying to make physical mail (snail mail) analogies applicable to email, they are accusing Google of "reading" emails when it's computers "parsing" text. That particular part of the motion is in response to the argument that non-Gmail users class action is valid since they didn't agree to the TOS. Google counters that "automated processing" is part of webmail.

Link to relevant page: http://www.scribd.com/doc/160041493/Google-Motion-061313#pag...

It's either the author have never seen a court briefing before or he’s just pushing an agenda.

The case is about Gmail "scanning" emails to target ads, Google is arguing (rightly so) that machines parsing emails is not equivalent to "reading" it, and that "automated processes" are responsible for spam filtering, spell checking and other features.

The entire motion, read it and make you own conclusions:

I dual boot, use Ubuntu for majority of my work, but occasionally I switch to Wintendo 7 when I feel like killing time with games.
Windows at work because I have to, and Arch Linux on everything else with a Windows partition on my main desktop's home drive to play games on and any other miscellaneous things I needs Windows for (not much at all these days).
Perhaps you should reformulate the poll to "Which OS do you use most frequently?" or "From which OS did you answer this poll?".

The Neural Basis of Free Will: Criterial Causation
Happy running Linux (Arch/Cyanogenmod) on all of my devices except for the one I work on Windows (the product) from.
Ubuntu with Arch in VirtualBox at home.
Windows 7 at work.
Ubuntu and Linux (other)? Really? What, do people think that Ubuntu is suppose to be the "be all, end all" of Linux or something?

Anyway, rant aside, I use Fedora Linux on my laptop and a mix of Fedora and CentOS on servers.
Yeah, that's how I managed to guess the second page, but I don't really "get it". Are these suppose to actually be mechanically derivable, or is this just a guessing game?
Need to add the following:

Solaris
Other Unix
iOS

I use the following: Windows 7, iOS 6, Solaris 10, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x, CentOS 6.x, Mac OS X 10.6.8, Android

Yeah. Why not banking or finance. Shows where our regulatory priorities are. Kind of undertones of "I don't like this. Figure out why it is illegal."
>The only thing that matters in software is the experience of the user.

That is true, but the experience of the people developing the software matters too, as it informs the care that will be put into creating a better user experience.

Let's say you're creating an application and you're the sole developer and designer of that application. When you have a predictable and reliable development environment that emphasizes good, well defined practices, you reach a state of flow with more ease when you're coding, and your project gets developed faster. Faster development allows you to iterate quickly and better test your assumptions about the user interface and the overall user experience. It gives you more time to design the application. All in all, with a better development experience, the developer gets more time to create a better experience for the user.

I bet Ryan's frustrations—all the abstractions and crappy interfaces—come from years of legacy technologies and the need for compatibility and integration with other systems, and sometimes as preemptive measures to avoid security issues. When they were made, there was a reason for their existence.
13 episodes is 3 months. So that $4.20 is really closer to $1. Bump it to $1.50 as a generous amount for advertising. Apply your 25% modifier and you are still at $5/season or 38c/episode.
I think the parent comment meant that it was a very low price, relative to how much money AMC makes off of their cable viewers.
If you think this mass surveillance was set up to fight child porn or terrorists, you're extremely naive.

It's a power grab. Pure and simple. Those who control this system can easily find dirt on their political/corporate opponents, while being completely immune.

They might stop some occasional clueless idiot terrorists or CP distributors, but that's not the end goal, that's just the political theater.

You really think terrorists don't properly encrypt their conversations?

You really think high-level criminals don't properly encrypt their conversations?

Think again.
"The problem, however, is whether you like it or not, you’re still conveying the message that your screen at that moment is more important than the person you’re with"

I think this depends on the specific situation. If I'm in the middle of a sentence and someone breaks their attention to check on the noise coming from their pocket, that's going to be a problem with me. However if there is a lull in the conversation, and we're both sort of sitting around enjoying some wine, go ahead and do a phone check. I don't need 100% attention just because we're in the same room. If you have to ask permission to check your phone just because you're in the same room, do you also have to ask permission to leave the room? What about picking up a book and reading? Does that require a permission check?

I'm not sure why there would be a particular bias against screens. If you were at a drafting table working and your child is staring at you, I see nothing wrong with ignoring the child and continuing to work. Screen or no screen. Most of the time the child's immediate situation is not the most important thing in the world. She's just fine, playing and observing. I don't think we do anybody any favours by guilt tripping ourselves just because we're busy and it's rather unrealistic to have the child expect full attention from all who surrounds them.
The exclusion of AMT from the discussion about exercising ISOs was pretty egregious. A lot of people seem to get burned by that.

> But using the computer and less passive screens, i bet everyone here is only here because they started using computers earlier than the average. So limiting those for a child seems foolish.

Great point. I'm going to make sure my kids are brought up learning how to code etc even younger than I was.
That's because the mass transit within the cities on that coast is shit.

As someone who uses only mass transit, I think that's untrue.
Ignore all qz articles because it's infuriating to read on a mobile device. How you break scrolling and alienate users should be an award.
:) Yes, I am. It was part of an electronics kit my father bought for me. I remember carefully placing the pieces between spring-end contacts to construct the basic circuits.

Building electronics from scratch is very satisfying. I think I may get into DIY drones soon to scratch that itch.
I use a Macbook Air, but spend most of my time in Ubuntu. I've just come to like doing all my development work in it. I use OS X in places where I run into services that don't support Ubuntu.
Big fan of Ansible, it's great that they'll have more resources to keep making the product even better.

While there may be legal and policy differences between "normal" court orders and PRISM, the only technical difference is the scale. If Lavabit could respond to "normal" court orders, then they could have participated in PRISM. Lavabit's users are lucky that the company's founder took a stand for their privacy rights; he could have just gone the other way and kept a record of all their passwords / secret keys / etc.

Of course Lavabit would not be the one brute forcing the passwords. That is not the point. The point is that the security of Lavabit is a matter of the user's password, and only in the best case where the user does not log in.

Ultimately Lavabit's security is a matter of the trustworthiness of Lavabit's employees, not the size of your key; it is marginally related to the strength of your password, but only under very specific circumstances. The fact that cryptography is being used somewhere in the system is a distraction. If instead of the US government showing up with a court order it had been a Chinese spy sending business secrets back to the Chinese government, would you still be defending Lavabit?
Another take on the same idea:
