I agree. Why not create a test account and post to his own wall?
I was thinking this should be position fixed in case you are scrolled half way down the page - you would not see the position absolute bar at the top, but it should be attached to the browser navigation right? The issue with position fixed is getting it to span the full width... any thoughts - maybe my UI sense is wrong here too?

[edit]
Actually, doing a little testing on it now - position:fixed seems to just work. I like this solution a lot need to test it out... would be great to attach this to xhr progress events...
Modifying Dalvik internals to hook framework methods
This has been done many times before. One such example:

My old company SquidCube had this over a year ago.
Never. The word "terrorism" is a word used by the incumbent power to describe that which is "other." They get to decide who the word applies to and who it doesn't.
The problem is your screen's resolution. I see the same thing in Chrome on OSX. Make your window narrower and all the text moves above the laptop.
We need to distinguish between negative feelings that are a part of mental illness, versus those warranted by an unhappy life.

That's absolutely true, but I think it's dangerous to dismiss someone's description of being depressed. At the end of the day, probably nobody (or a small handful of people) on HN are actually qualified to offer a proper diagnosis. So the rest of us can speculate all we want, but for someone who is depressed, to be perceived as making light of their situation, or dismissing it, might actually lead them to an even worse place.

Of course, I have no idea if Brad Feld reads HN or not, so maybe it's a moot point in this specific case. But still, I would encourage trying to have a great deal of empathy for people who refer to themselves as "depressed".
Chesscademy - Codecademy, that's cutting it close, but you guys have a very similar logo font to Codecademy as well (both cursive-y). I'd suggest a change, somewhere. Otherwise, awesome idea, good luck!
Yes, but

Not everybody has access to good material and resources. Yes, the internet made this much easier. But it may be still difficult to "bootstrap" it

English may be more difficult depending on your mother tongue

It is frustrating when you want to say something in another language and even if you use Google Translate you're still not 100% sure.

So I think he should have tried harder, but at the same time, it may be difficult for some people.
My guess is that it was like the bully who shoulder-checks you when you're walking by them in the hallway, and who just keeps on walking.
404 link :/
You have 10 reasons. Your numbered list has 7 twice.

Also, the reason is very simple: there's no money to be made in building a Hyperloop. There's a good reason Musk didn't (and won't) work on it.
Classic mode is awesome. I haven't played in quite awhile, but there were some good servers with ridiculous amounts of awesome mods.

It runs much faster than normal Minecraft, and some of the features like cuboid, permissions, multiple maps running on the same server, etc, still haven't been added back to the main version of the game.
There have been dramatic happenings around RED for some time.

> The verb will be more or less derived from the noun. A verbless noun makes sense, but a nounless verb? I think there is some dependency.

Linguistically inaccurate. But it also seems irrelvant. "Zipping things" is a great example of a placeholder noun, anything that can be zippable, right? People do this all the time. "Driving" implies that you have a thing to drive, but the act of driving is clear and distinct in people's heads despite the fact that it can represent a lot of different actions.

> Ask some programmers if they learned function calls before they learned variable assignment. I'm obviously betting they didn't, but I'd be curious if I were wrong.

The answer to this question is irrelevant, but also hard to understand. Variables and functions are deeply intertwined ideas because most function calls take variables.

SICP taught functions first, and it was widely acclaimed.

> Macros can arbitrarily change the nature of functions just like adverbs change the meaning of nouns.

I do not see an interpretation of macros that is concordant with this metaphor. Macros let you define new parts of speech entirely, hand-tooled to let you perfectly express what you want the way you find most natural.

> I'd even bet cash that even a room of grad students could brainstorm/generate new nouns much faster than they can generate adverbs. This might not prove anything.

I do not think this is relevant. But if you'd like to see an example of how complicated this is, look at any note from one partner to another. Mine go like this: "Dave, Please pick these items on your way home:" and then a list. Which is a function (in IO, so monadic since it has side effects)> But that is a verb THEN a list of nouns.
I believe part of the whitehat payment program is to avoid the exact sort of PR Facebook is receiving from this episode. I agree that the guy should not be paid; he didn't follow the agreement.
I'm seriously torn about this. On one hand, of course, Debian is kind of right in their assessment and strictly speaking, the JSON extension and with that the PHP package is not entirely free software.

On the other hand, the risk of anything bad coming out of shipping code with this license (evil people will have no qualms violating the license :-) ) is very close to zero. However, the risk of people being seriously pissed off at the next version of Debian (or Ubuntu) breaking all their web applications is really high.

Yes, an alternate extension is starting to exist, but it might either work subtly differently from the built-in one (you know, bugs exist and people might depend upon them), or worse, might have security flaws remaining undiscovered due to fewer eyes reviewing the much smaller in scope extension.

This is not just bad for users, but also for developers of libraries who now have to take extra care to support the other extension.

It's ridiculous to having to go through all this trouble for some evil people to be able to use Debian :-)

Thank god I moved to packaging and deploying our own PHP for our application. Having to deal with a non-standard JSON extension for no reason but politics and lack of pragmatism would piss me off endlessly.

That all said and after having vented my frustration: I still see where Debian is coming from and I can also kind of understand their decision. Of course it still pisses me off, but I can understand it.

Maybe Debian (and by extension Ubuntu) just isn't the right distro for me. Though seeing that the replacement extension is made by a Fedora developer, I seem to be running out of options :-)
Unraveling Google's Product Strategy
The continued push to remove regulations on policy-buying is the conspiracy.

The US confluence of money and politcs hasn't always been as "free flowing" in the past, ie, prior to the overturning of McCain-Feingold and establishment of

Moneyed interests have been hard at work trying to push this country over a cliff so they can swoop in afterwards and profit off the wreckage. That's well documented and one party (the GOP) has been brazen and proud of it's efforts to increase corruption, while the other (Dems) has been ineffectual and also culpable.
We're talking about education, so the question isn't "what's the minimum environment necessary to code?" it's "what can we do to help people learn to code more easily?".

And I agree with the article - a huge part of learning to program is learning how to keep all the important pieces (variables, meanings, program flow etc.) in one's active memory, and learning which pieces are important. In case of a short-term memory "cache miss", which happens way more often when you're a novice, having everything open on a huge monitor makes it much faster and less painful to look up the info you need. Most people have very good spatial memory, so it's easy for them to remember that they "left" a piece of information in, say, the bottom left of the screen. Changing tabs/windows, on the other hand, is an interruption/context switch and requires much more work for the student to find what they're looking for.

It may not seem like much (a few extra seconds and a few wasted braincycles) but this is exactly the type of friction that eventually adds up to a lot of frustration and keeps more people from learning how to code. I could easily see how having a huge monitor and good window placement could be the difference between a student burning out and "making it over the hump" of really understanding programming concepts and taking off.

TL;DR Huge external monitor = training wheels for programmers.

Using NFC signals to power and update an E-ink display
As someone who knows nothing about cameras, that was a fascinating read.
I really appreciate this question. Thank you for asking the seemingly obvious - yet, not at all.
From my understanding, Sarah Godin is a fake FB account that he made to test his bug out.
You're right. Not paying him now tells hackers, "Sell your exploit; it'll be easier and less hassle."
Reading the comments to the PHP bug, I find it funny that "The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil." license clause was not approved by Google :) :) :)
Abused because if you earn more you're required by society to contribute more? Seriously?

Get a grip. We all benefit from the collective services, and we give in proportion to our ability to do so. If all were asked to pay the same price then the poorest would have nothing left for food.
I also stumbled on this site the other day:

Not in love with some of the formatting, but has proved useful from time to time.
Even Russia, who is more than happy to see the West twist in the wind, has said Snowden should stop leaking state secrets, presumably because they also don't want their secrets leaked.
I'm now wishing I didn't use the Al Capone example because people keep pointing out David Miranda is not a terrorist! I agree! But he might be involved in aiding or abetting terrorism by helping to release documentation that's critical in the fight against terrorism. To be clear, I'm not supporting what they did! I'm just trying to point out what the thought process was behind these actions to try and add to the overall debate.
I keep hearing about this supposed terrible thinkpad quality. Can you expand on that?

I purchased one in December 2012 and I think the build quality is excellent. They did change the keyboard, but not everyone hates it (I think it's just fine and still embodies the spirit/feel of the old keyboards).
What is wrong with journalists now days. Reading on hacker news and copy pasting stuff in to articles is not what i would call good journalism.

It would be nice if people could stop reposting shit from "average joe" news papers.
The problem here is that if FB took every single bug report that they got 100% seriously, they'd never get to the real bug reports, but would just constantly be sifting through the spam. You have to make educated guesses on whether or not a report is just useless spam. This report, the way it read, shoots off a lot of spam flags. I understand why he got dismissed so easily and frankly it is his fault. Nobody has enough staff to hold hands with every single bug submitter regardless of what they send.
For me the various engineering streams are just as different from each other as from every other non-engineering discipline. There is no way a mechanical engineer could work in the electronics, IT or biochemical engineering fields.

If you are going to label the common base as "science" then you could equally say engineering is common with psychology since they both involve "words". That makes equally as much sense.
This all boils down to Crockford being intentionally annoying about the licensing.

Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hCimLnIsDA
If I understand this correctly, the guy who started Oakley (eyewear) went on to start RED (the 4K digital movie camera). Now he is bowing out and handing the reins over to a younger guy. And he is annoyed that people get annoyed with him. Anything else I should know?
If they held him the maximum time they could - 9 hours - then it's likely harassment was also an aim.
I find it interesting the amount of attention Hacker News is getting from this in mainstream media.

It makes me wonder, when people unfamiliar to Hacker News read about it in stories like this, do they get the wrong impression and think Hacker News is about the criminal kind of "hacking"?
It does in this sense: people were talking about governments going after families. I thought this was just the now-typical bullshit overstatement that I've gotten used to seeing, so I wrote off all the criticism along that line as crackpot, because I assumed Miranda was just another journalist who happened to work directly with Greenwald a lot.

This angle of understanding is now clearly incorrect.

Now I have to go and look up whether or not Miranda is a Guardian reporter, for instance, because that's an assumption I made that may not be true after all.
Note that Facebook went from an HTML 5 iOS app to a native app. See this post: https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-engineering/under-th...
Having dealt with fellow developers that don't have perfect english or thick accents I think it's quite unprofessional to dismiss someone's complaint without even trying to understand them. It's great for us native English speakers that it's such a dominant language but I think we should all give a little more respect for others where it's clearly not their first language and they're the ones having to go out of their way to communicate with us. I for one am glad I don't have to deal with the bilingualism, with a bit more empathy and less dismissiveness the whole thing could have been avoided.
No, you are confusing special and general relativity. In a flat spacetime your only chance at getting faster than light travel is by violating local Lorentz invariance. In general realtivity, you can essentially go faster than light in two different ways, either you win an honest race or you find a shortcut. The Alcubierre drive is of the second variety, so you do not get to create closed timelike curves ( the technical term for time travel), but you can still arrive at a distant point faster than a 'naive' measurement of the distance would suggest.
I read it, but I don't assume to know the reporter knows how we do things, especially in light of security. The FB responses were absolutely dismissive, and I hope they have learned to, at least, setup some boilerplate responses. Perhaps they already have those, and the responder was simply doing a bad job. I suppose you've never received a bug report (much less a security report) from a client that hasn't the foggiest on even the difference between that blue "e" symbol that has the internets and that "orange swirly thing."

Hindsight may be 20/20, but I'd absolutely expect my support or security team to respond with instruction on how and what steps should be taken to diligently report issues. FB did not even try to correct the wrong and dissuade the reporter from abusing users' pages.
Wow, that's just... I have no words for that. I thought the recent SteamCMD not playing nice with TTY's was bad, but just... whoa man.
Yeah, this was my initial confusion with the article and many of the comments. When I read the doc by Musk, I assumed, that the tube 'floated' over the pylons. The author seems to have assumed the opposite. The problem is that they are both assumptions.

When making an argument, sometimes it is good to make an assumption and then prove the assumption is false... sometimes it is just a straw man.
Similar to the game he canned, check out Red Power 2 for MC, it's actually got an in-game computer you can program it in Forth, save programs on in-game floppies, and build a giant IO bus to control various things in the game world.
> and it just so happens that I have always been able to articulate the causes.

You mean "rationalize." Humans are really good at finding causal relationships between things, even when they aren't there. I'm not saying you can't or shouldn't feel a certain way, but diagnosable depressing is often more complex than "I over-exerted myself".

Personally, I found the article vacuous because it presumes that you can figure out what's going on in your head. It's pretty well established at this point that we cannot reliably do this.
Pimping out Git Log is my favorite git tip and goes well with this mix: http://www.jukie.net/bart/blog/pimping-out-git-log

Er - not so sure about Euclid being read widely as recently as 1913. Definitions of 'educated person' were very narrow then in England. 'Mechanics institutes' taught 'practical mechanics' far more than abstract geometry to working people.

Euclid is a small part of mathematics, although a powerful example of logical reasoning. If I could encourage my Level 2 students to a level where they could read and understand (say) Chapter 8 of Silver's The Signal and The Noise we might be getting somewhere.
Ethnicity ≠ Knowing a language

(I don't doubt you, but you are asserting something that is not always true. I know Hispanics that don't know Spanish for example, because their parents never raised them bilingual.)

Have you tried ToT trunk? We moved the entire TA impl into JSC itself last week and just accepted the semantic changes necessary for non-WebIDL types.

That sales rep. more than deserved it though I'm surprised Groupon's training didn't even prepare him for the hang ups. Shows poorly on both of them.
"(Honestly, that might be a social faux pas among physical engineers, and a noob move from Musk, but I'm not a civil engineer nor Musk so I don't give a shit.)"

Besides, it's the idea that's important.
The definition of terrorism in this context also concludes acts and threats of acts "designed seriously to interfere with or seriously to disrupt an electronic system." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism_Act_2000#Definition_o...
As far as adaptations go, the most sensible model of depression I've ever run across is the one proposed by Howard Bloom. First, it's imperative to acknowledge humans as primarily social creatures, always living in relation to a social context, not self-sustaining individuals. Some of our adaptations affect our functioning as members of a social body, rather than our health as individuals. Succeeding, finding a place, securing resources by trading, creating a context for ourselves within a family and/or community - all these things trigger reward mechanisms in the brain. Doing well? Biologically you'll be stimulated to do even more in a positive feedback loop. Not doing well? Failing to find your place? Then you'll be anti-stimulated towards, essentially, death. you weren't working out, no need to prolong the dysfunction.

Of course, this 'adaptation' causes tremendous prolonged suffering as it plays out, in practice.
Sorry, I messed up the link and can't change it.
Looking forward to people writing about how this is indicative of corruption to the core, Groupon is a scam, this is a face-saving coverup, etc.
You have to find their upstream and subpoena their DHCP (or equivalent) records. That's what the plaintiffs in the P2P lawsuits have been trying to do. You may not be successful for a variety of reasons. In that case this ruling would not apply.

Not the ruling is precedent anyway, since it is a district court (lowest federal court) order.
Why do you automatically assume that not being able to complete the tasks you assign for yourself is a medical issue? Maybe "boys being boys" (and sometimes girls) just means they are not well suited for the kind of tasks that they are supposed to do. They might still be perfectly suited for other tasks.

So if Ritalin helps people to achieve their goals, great, but I don't think it implies that they had a medical issue when they were unable to complete those tasks.
Exactly. Give me enough money and I could easily build a SpaceX and Tesla.

How ? By hiring people who know how to easily build a SpaceX and Tesla.
"Unemployed" is never a positive word in American English. In America, if you're unemployed, it's because you're a lazy, shiftless bum - and will quickly resort to crime if your own shortcomings won't let you scam a powerful and scrupulously honest corporation.

The word "unemployed" has such negative connotations here that trying to use it in an underdog narrative is dooming your story to failure.
Some of those reporters are very quick on their feet regarding the wording of their questions.
While I'd love to think the media has grown up, the past few years haven't given me much hope. :)
The most compelling reason to use Objective-C for iOS development is to make use of the vast array of device-native APIs provided by Apple, most of which are not available to webapps as of now.
While you can use PhoneGap/Cordova to wrap your webapp in a native container, and access many native APIs, the process is convulated to say the least.
Besides, with Apple releasing new API's(1500 new APIs for iOS 7 [1]) with every upgrade, the likes of PhoneGap cant really keep up with natively available functionality.
Performance is another big reason which comes to my mind.
