You seem to have this strange idea that I don't like web components. But I do. In your words, your comment is misguided for a few reasons:

A. I am all for web components, if you read the parent I was replying too. I answered his question.

B. They aren't "technically speaking"... you don't need a calendar. You can create 3 dropdowns with every date. You don't need a slider you can create a dropdown with 1 to 100. I could go on and on. The reason we do this is so it is easier to use. But "technically speaking" it is not a requirement.

Any ways you seem to be a little angry at the moment, I was never attacking the product lol. I actually like the idea, and I'm a contributor/have used extensively to Montage and Broadway. I was just answering the question that the parent asked.
Two points.

First, this is a very bad situation for a junior designer since they basically get no mentorship. The studio model is very important for developing design talent. Don't take on junior talent without senior talent if possible.

Second, expecting designers to code, a common meme repeated often on hackernews, is even more disastrous in this case; they are overloaded already with design work (and even if you have a few designers already, they will still probably be your bottleneck).
You know what I would absolutely love? If you could send me notifications of daily specials! I've been to a lot of restaurants in SF, but if I got notified when they had interesting specials I would be motivated to go out when I might not have been planning on it. I could tell you I live here and love scallops, and then you notify me on sone random day hey this restaurant near you is doing this scallop risotto tonight. Fun spontaneous activity for me without having to trawl, extra customer for restaurant.
"The thugs who beat up protesters during the day are the same people recruited to disrupt their online activities at night," Nakhleh said.

Most pages "taking the lead are by people who are close to the Assad regime," said Hendi.

He cited Haidara Suleiman, the son of powerful intelligence officer and current Syrian ambassador in Amman, Bahjat Suleiman.

Suleiman runs the main Bashar al-Assad page on Facebook and is also in the Syrian Electronic Army."
Seems fine now
Programming in Haskell is an excellent book, I liked it a lot more than some of the usual recommendations (Learn You a Haskell, etc).

I'd like to hear more about why depending on systemd without having a fallback mechanism for those who don't support it is a good design decision.

With logstash, I aim to make it as easy to deploy as possible. That is, in part, why the releases are self-contained jar files with all depenencies built-in (except for java itself). We also started working on shipping rpm/deb packages with recent releases.

Like I always say, if it's hard to use or appears to have major flaws or pains, it's a bug, and we can fix it. Let us know! :)
No, that's the point of randomly modifying each password per system.

The example was over simplified, but i guarantee you if you got one of my passwords you wouldn't work out where the per-system bit is.
They're not so bad if you supply your own table-top.
I'm the opposite. I used to use ergonomic keyboards, including a Kinesis keyboard many years ago. It never solved my RSI pain.

What did solve my RSI pain was simple: posture. The height of my desk/chair/keyboard/mouse/monitor were not in proper alignment. Once I properly adjusted all heights the pain went away in weeks. I also got a tenkeyless (Filco Majestouch 2) mechanical keyboard, which helped for its form factor.
I don't know if it's cognitive bias or what; but I've been using my iMac for about 5 months now, and the small keyboard that comes with it is fantastic. My wrists don't hurt, and the keys are crisp and clear to touch type on.

$150 for a keyboard is really steep.
I'm a current Filco owner and previous Model M user. This looks like exactly what I would have produced if I could make my own keyboard. Ordered an 87-key, looking forward to trying it out.
You roll the roller for up/down, move it left/right for ... wait for it ... left/right :)

It's really intuitive.
letting them sleep won't help much, but kicking them out without thinking about trying to solve the issue in some other way just makes things worse. then, you're just brushing dirt under the carpet.

a more sincere argument would be, "it's not my problem or noisebridge's problem, but there ought to be something to solve that problem, so let's think about how to solve it - rather than simply stating 'it's not my problem' and burying our heads in the sand".
I might have to look into this a bit more, and I would agree that adding more cars to the point of the system literally being unable to handle them cannot be optimized.

However, its clear to me that individual actors in the traffic system do not behave in a way that is beneficial to considerations above and beyond their own.
I do believe that this would cause some decrease in overall traffic if it was "fixed" by an automated program. (If your car can drive 200 mph and not make a mistake, doesn't that imply that you can have more traffic throughput on the road?)

Either way, I am interested if you have specific examples besides the meme of traffic being terrible in LA. I assume they have done massive studies on the problem considering how problematic it is known to be.
Eek.

I think, and I stress that this is wrought of my own unprofessional feelings, but I think that in the early days of rich consumer UI (pre-2004 lets say), that rounded corners, gradients and shadows did some great things to design, because they created affordances so that people knew, for instance, that a button was a button. It stood out against the other website clutter and cruft.

But we've sort of moved on. I'm reminded of a Doisneau quote (famous photographer, 1912-1994):

> "Nowadays people's visual imagination is so much more sophisticated, so much more developed, particularly in young people, that now you can make an image which just slightly suggests something, they can make of it what they will."

Nowaday's peoples visual expectations of what they might find on a website or app are much better, and you don't need to "point out" as much stuff. In other words I think users "got better". At the same time, we seem to see a real slimming of other visual distractions, so buttons don't need to be pointed-out as much.

This is the essence of Flat-UI in my opinion, that if you remove enough cruft, then afterwards you can remove even more cruft since your buttons and menus will no longer need to stand out from other stuff with gradients/shadows/rounded corners, and users are more attending to looking for them and expecting them anyway.

And I think, in light of all that, Yahoo sort of dropped the ball here. They didn't remove the cruft! Distractions distractions distractions.
Actually, you can take it either way. Saying they're "plaguing" him is ridiculous.
> Why not send a small postcard with the license key

Sending a postcard with a license key certainly gives someone the license key, but whether its the person to whom it is mailed or not is less certain.
For the definition of truck and commuter car I'm using, let me refer you to this imgur gallery of my truck (yeah, it's a 4Runner, not a pickup, I know) hopelessly stuck in a patch of clay, and the commuter car that I payed off my truck to afford, parked next to said truck.

It seems like we're on the same page, although my views might be a bit stronger than yours.

If you think they are so sophisticated to create this false flag operation why are the targets and magnitude of this so lame?
TCP/IP is a fun idea and I think people will get some use out of it for mesh and darknet purposes, but the target is Arduino users (aka "regular people"). That said, I'm designing the protocol so professionals can use it too. We may end up forking it, and doing what Raspberry Pi did, giving people Rasbian for regular folk and other distros (featured in the same place) for hardcore users.

And you asked why not the shield you linked to?

This is why:
https://dlnmh9ip6v2uc.cloudfront.net//images/products/1/0/8/...

That is a $25 shield, $23 radio, and a $29 arduino all stacked on top of eachother, and you get 100m range max. Wouldn't you rather have a single board for $20 or $30 that meets those needs and lets you reach out up to a kilometer or more?
Do note that you will need new keycaps to use Dvorak or Colemak. Each row of keys in a WASD keyboard has a slightly different height/slope, so you can't move the keys around between rows (without having all of your keys being different heights, that is). You'd have to order new keycaps with the correct letters AND the right height/slopes.
Yelp is filled with so many terrible reviews that I'm often disappointed when I go out based on their recommendations.

That's interesting to know! Thanks for the link.
I don't understand what the obsession is with the old IBM Model M type keyboards. I am able to type faster and more accurately on my Apple flat aluminum keyboard that I have ever been able to type on a Model M. On top of that, switching to a flatter keyboard that sits closer to the desk has actually caused any and all pain I used to get while typing to go away.

The other thing is I'd miss the extra function keys I get on my full size Apple keyboard. Specifically F13-F19, which I have bound to a whole bunch of different things that help me throughout my day.
This is a serious question: why does anyone want backlighting?

There's an Italian company called ForiniCom that built its own devices; they are around 40-50$ to produce, but they truly provide a Mesh network.

Unfortunately it's only in Italian: http://com-com.it/

I know they are managing more than 4,000 nodes now, and it works great.

I also know that offering a service like this is hard. A kickstarter campaign sometimes makes things look too easy.
Open source alternatives exist for most major Microsoft and Adobe products. It is just a question of how much user experience you are willing to sacrifice for safety.

And open source products are not inherently safe--vulnerabilities are found in all software products, that is not a phenomenon limited to the closed source world.

NYTimes and Twitter are lame targets? In the US, at least, you don't get a much higher profile non-government target than the NY Times. I mean, if this were a false flag operation -- and I'm not convinced it is -- then the three-letter guys wouldn't very likely chose to target themselves, or other government, would they? They would portray them as being inept at defending themselves.
I used a Kinesis Advantage for many months as my only keyboard, but did not recover from RSI until I got rid of it.

Now I use Logitech scissor-switch keyboards (the K750 and the K800). Oddly enough, even though it has the same basic scissor-switch design as the Logitech keyboards, I do very poorly with Apple keyboards (and I did use one exclusively for a few months).

I guess there's no single solution to RSI that works for every typist!

P.S. What really got me over my RSI is learning piano teacher Dorothy Taubman's technique for prevention of RSI.

I'm never going to register (or login) just to see if any responses to questions are relevant to my current problem at hand.

I'll visit quora if it came up in a google search. If the answer to the question is not right there, that tab's being closed. (This is pretty much the reason that experts-exchange.com died as much as did)
It sounds really cool, but in practice having unlabeled keys has just been tiresome for me. The numpad symbols and F keys always mess me up, and I'm hopeless when it comes to trying to print screen. Also the Cherry MX Blue switches are amazing for typing but not that great for gaming since there's so much dead space between subsequent taps of the same key.

The point is, don't just buy a Das keyboard to hop on the bandwagon. They do have disadvantages.
"I'm just happy to live in a world where the first truly great mechanical keyboard finally exists now." That's subjective. To me this keyboard is average and over priced. I personally hate that keyboard layout, so for me, this isn't the first truly great keyboard.
I have thought about it and I still haven't cracked it. The best idea I've heard is the whole basic income idea. I don't know what you want me to do though.
I think I get the overall idea, but why are we encouraged to write <x-slider> instead of <input type="range">? I know that most of JS ninjas go bezerk at the mere mention of progressive enhancement these days, but in this case it seems the most sensible thing to do, regardless of ideological affiliation. We already have a standard element that is supposed to render a slider, why not just use it and add things to it?
This is a very overpriced mechanical keyboard. The backlighting is silly and useless. Check out http://elitekeyboards.com/ instead. The Leopold keyboards are very fairly priced. The Rosewill mechanical keyboards from NewEgg are pretty alright, too. Filcos are on the higher end of the price spectrum but are a better value than the "CODE".

This [1] is my desk, and I love it (I actually have 2 in a half circle, one PC one Mac). I've added a second deck, and the Mac side as 2 cinema displays on arms so they can be raised to eye level when standing.

Now this is a little expensive setup, but I LOVE it, and feel it was absolutely worth the investment. I've been using it for a few years now. It is not motorized, since you only lift the keyboard mouse section, and it is couter blanaced by spring to make that easy. This actually makes it very fast and easy to switch and cheaper at the same time. I strongly prefer that over motorized or full surface movable desks.

Regardless of how you do it, almost everyone who can stand should have a standing/sitting desk that adjusts easily. It makes a big difference in your health and mood even if you rarely switch modes. Often when you need to switch you really need to switch.

The rule of law is absolute, however its application is tentative and selective.

The plea bargain -- admissions of guilt where defendants are under threat of death and lifetime prison sentences -- has prevented 95% Federal court cases from proceeding, and it inches higher year-over-year.

Enron's disgraced and final CEO has had his prison sentence reduced significantly under an agreement to stop the legal ballet of refuting prosecution and wilfully forfeiting $42M for distribution to Enron fraud victims, effectively buying his way out of prison. "Too big to jail" indeed.

The US Government, at the behest of AT&T, Verizon, et al, unilaterally denied Samsung's lawful and justified victory in a patent dispute with Apple. Lesson learned? Don't bother with a healthy and useful patent portfolio, and do stay in the good graces of the US Government for there are benefits to signing into PRISM-like programs.

You will not have a hard time finding pro-state shills that happily declare that the state can do no wrong -- indeed, the law simply doesn't apply to government employees acting in the "nation's best interest."

Crackpot conspiracy theory? The Fed doesn't think so [1]. As that FAQ explains, the FOMC judges that maintaining a 2% inflation rate is optimal for price stability and maximal employment. The federal government operates at a deficit [2]. The Federal Reserve Banks holds U.S. Treasury debt as collateral for the Federal Reserve notes put into circulation by the Fed [3]. Therefore, although the quoted statement is somewhat inaccurate, the essential idea that government policy is responsible for inflation and finances its operations is true.

You and FORTRAN were made for each other.
I think the confusion arises because jd007 is discussing throughput and you are discussing latency.

Latency and throughput can be inversely related depending the precise architecture of a system (queueing is the classic mechanism that trades them off).

But in terms of "horizontal scaling", the goal really is to improve total throughput. Often imposing a tax on latency due to coordination costs.
> Their regime is about to get bombed. Taking down twitter is low on their priority list. But it's quite good timing for a propaganda campaign against "hackers" and now allows the US government to label hackers as terrorists. Scary stuff.

Yes, because the bombing of the regime means that every single person supporting the Syrians is automatically going to focus all their efforts on one single task. It is not like there can be people with different perspectives on how to solve a "problem" with the same common goal. /s
Can we buy a kit of the motors and drive train and put it together ourselves?
I have had one too for several years and it's one of the best decisions I've made. It's still holding up quite well and no letters on the keys is great. Though I still, after all these years, have a little trouble being able to type the number keys without the labels on them.

Most people are intimidated by the absense of labels, but my daughter takes it as a challenge and does pretty well without them.
>I would counter that if any such properties existed in SF, and there was an opportunity for this sort of arbitrage, it already happened… Consider it a weak form of the efficient market hypothesis…

I can agree with what you are saying, but I propose that maybe (having never been/lived in SF) that the types places agents are looking for (quick flips? and off the market for reasons mentioned already) and the types of places that might be suitable for hackerspace group ltd|org|corp|llc (enclosed and with a roof and off the market for reasons mentioned already), if one were to make a venn diagram there would be at least one third agents havent been looking at (maybe less so in sf than in other areas in the country).

Or proposed another way, how many homes are being knocked down by banks[0] (and in SF to be relevant)?

I'm asking friends who are involved in real estate (not in sf), because talking about this more has got me more interested to see who else I know is up for trying something.

I understand your reservations, crowd funding can be a crap shoot. I've already got the BOM sorted out for the final hardware, we're just hitting kickstarter to verify that all the work required to finish this will be worth our while.

The more backers we get, the easier delivering this hardware will be. I won't try to convince you of anything you can't be convinced of, but I will tell you that if you are interested I would really appreciate your support, and as per the kickstarter terms of service I can at least promise that if what we are delivering does not meet your needs, you can cancel your order and we will refund the full amount.

The EULA does require me to either deliver or refund you, and I absolutely will comply with that.

I'd also suggest waiting to see? You could back us at $25 so you get the updates, and then cancel before it finishes if you would prefer not to spend any money at all.

And yeah, the radio chip is pretty simple. It's basically a cheap general purpose radio. The other proprietary chip is the Atmel ATSHA204, which you don't even need to use, but provides some excellent cryptographic functions.

Most of this is not true for PostgreSQL either. The only two things PostgreSQL needs to run is a daemon (it does not have to be actually daemonized) plus a unix socket, passwords, user accounts, root privileges, etc are all optional.

Sure SQLite (which I love) is easier to get running, but do not exaggerate issues of traditional RDBMs.

In PostgreSQL 9.3 which will be released in a couple of weeks they will also fix the cases where you may need to use sysctl to iincrease shared memory limits.
Do you have a setup guide you recommend that others follow, or did you do it by feel and what felt comfortable to you?
Okay, I see your point. However, I've never used Dropbox, I use git-annex as a better solution to the problem. Likewise, I would still use procmail, or maildrop in this situation. This is mainly due to the fact that these solutions are much more reliable than those offered. Unfortunately, this doesn't stop people from using them in mission critical situations, to their downfall.
Evidence for new element Ununpentium may swell Periodic Table
We rated both as 1km max, but the basic will have an integrated antenna, with reduced performance. The current radio chipset theoretically maxes out at 3km though, and we haven't actually maxed out range ever, before maxing out distance (we have to use google earth just to find places!).

Pro will have better range due to the antenna, but the basic will get a pretty high-performing antenna too.
