Thanks for the Julie/Julia project link. I have been considering going through Thomas Keller's great books in a similar way as well. I have Bouchon Bakery, and I've made probably 20% of what's in there. I haven't found anything that disappoints yet.

Rumble in the Tunnel: JS game about privacy
Hello HN,
While working for a VPN privacy startup, before our new client apps launch, we were wondering how to contact journalists and PR people, like most companies we did the normal standard press release stuff which is pretty much boring .. after a few beers, we decided to drop the traditional stuff and explain privacy in a fun way, and the result was a javascript game built in 4 days: https://www.tunnelbear.com/rumble/

I used a Japanese framework called enchantjs.com, mostly because it's really simple and packed with examples. Last time I did anything in JS was 4 years ago (as I'm mostly a heavy client/mobile developer); learning it was easy, the framework came packed with examples (though the documentation is a bit light).
I didn't have to handle different browsers, except for sound and music stuff (still doesn't work on firefox)
In general felt like the framework was clean and well coded, what do you think of the game?
Go Mr. Chong!
They are referring to AgileBits customers on the Mac App Store. So anyone who previously purchased 1Password on the Mac App Store. Apple doesn't offer upgrade pricing, so it would make sense that the upgrade is free. Most likely AgileBits calls that fact out due to past issues with the iOS App Store where they took down the old app and created a new one so they could charge an upgrade fee.

Mmm... no. FNAC is not excellent, doesn't compete "spectacularly" -- or at all, is laying of hundreds just this week and in general is a horrible place to shop.
I think you can cut a lot of the fat from this:

There are people who think life is something they do and there are people who think life is something that happens to them.

That being said, at what point is relaxing and enjoying yourself with random hobbies ok? If you take the hard and fast line you have here, people would just work till they die. A large part of the point to success is so you can enjoy leisure time comfortably.

I do agree video games and TV are in a in a sense "bad" and it would be better if people engaged in creative hobbies.

Not true at all! A golden example is Betfair's 'exchange games' markets, where they let players bet on fair, computer-managed card games. The markets are always exactly prcied-up. Some punters are playing, but even without the 'mugs' you can just look at the order book to see the predictions.

For the coin flip, you'd still have people asking for odds of 50.1% and others offering odds of 49.9% - you then can just look at the spread to discover the market prediction.

Obviously if you have a door that needs to stay open, a thudingly concrete... never mind.

All I would say is, s/types/PL theory. Let's take your statement as true and stipulate that TAPL is in the top 1% of down-to-earthness of books on PL theory. Is it in the top 1% of down-to-earthness books on, say, Java? If not, what does this tell us about PL theory? You have read TAPL, right?

PL theory is a beautiful system and I've never said otherwise. TAPL is also very good at keeping doors open. But so are many things. PL theory is not the theory of programming, any more than TAPL is the doorstop. It is a theory of programming and a doorstop.
I see your point, and I don't necessarily disagree with you, but if updating 1password 3 to a new dropbox API requires a bunch of dev time, why should it be given out as a free upgrade?

I guess they could have sold yet another version of 1password 3 with the update for a lower fee, but that's confusing. At one point, with the upgrade from v2 to v3, agilebits had something like 4 or 5 versions of 1password in the app store (iphone/ipad/iphone & ipad combined version/v3) and while it offered better value, it was also confusing and off-putting for new customers.

I can't remember - does the iOS app store allow devs to charge for version upgrades? Or do you just have to create an all-new sku?
Why Women Leave Tech Companies, And What To Do About It
>>The regular 9 to 5 is what some people want. And that's fine.

Yes, it is completely fine, as long as they are fully aware of the type of life they will have if they keep up their current habits. For example, if a regular 9 to 5 is what you want, good for you. Just understand what kind of life it will give you. This may sound obvious, but most people don't get it - they work 9 to 5 and complain when they lose their jobs or don't get the promotions they want or realize that the work they do is actually meaningless. What I'm trying to say is that, in the grand scheme of life, you reap what you sow.
>>Giving away delivery for free is a form of predatory pricing<<

This line of reasoning always amused me. Free = predatory? Can someone explain how one arrives at this logic?

If the thinking is that "free" leads to "monopoly" which then leads to dramatically increased pricing once all competition is eliminated, this has absolutely, empirically and historically, been shown to be false. It simply never happens. Or more accurately, if/when it has been attempted, this practice has swiftly been defeated by competition.

Edit: An afterthought: If free = predatory pricing, why do we allow charities to distribute free shelter, goods, and food? Surely these institutions are displacing some sales that would otherwise take place, thus negatively impacting those businesses that would otherwise have profited from those sales?
Shots near the U.S. Capitol, one reported injury
Hey guys, co-founder of MobileWorks here. We were really inspired by the post from PG about acquiring users manually. We have done that before with the help of our crowd so it was a no-brainer to create this as a service. We have been testing this with a number of YC companies and the results have been phenomenal. We are happy to present it to the larger Hacker News community.

Happy to answer any questions.
I'm failing to see what this has to do with the threat model that port knocking addresses.

You said:

I think port knocking is really silly and you shouldn't waste time with it. Disable root logins and password logins in SSH.

I'm pointing out that will lead to less security, not more, for the stated reason.

Suffice it to say that an attacker who has access to your SSH identity file has with virtually total certainty access to your SSH passphrase as well.

How so? By brute for cracking it?
I know I shouldn't even get involved here, but I looked at day 8 vs day 9 very carefully and day 9 clearly builds on day 8 (e.g. the disableSelection code is carried over). The indentation that bothers you is feature testing code cut-and-paste from http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.cssHooks/. The additional JS code for the ball animation is totally reasonable for someone to learn and implement in a short time.

TL;DR: there's no red flag here.
I agree with you. I was just informing the parent poster how differently cryptographers see the world as compared to us normal people.

Although, in some respects, I do get where they're coming from. New algorithms and computing paradigms develop that make the previous one broken. I'm just guessing here, but it maybe possible that probabilistic computers and awesome algorithms a few decades down the line are able to recover states of a CSPRNG by applying statistical techniques. Obviously, I'm way over my head here but this is a possibility.

If you say that the OP was talking about TRNGs then all bets are off. It could so happen that two consecutive 512-bits are exactly the same. The probability is extremely low (birthday low) but since it's a TRNG there's still a chance that it will happen.
So you rebrand "outbound sales" as a "user acquisition service" and suddenly it's en vogue? Incredible.

Just to answer my own question, it looks like KeePass might be an option.
I really don't see the relevance of your comment. All of what you are saying may be true, but what does it have to do with allowing Amazon to offer whatever discounts they want? In what way does this law promote an "affluent yet relaxed lifestyle?" Wouldn't being able to afford more books because they are cheaper on Amazon make me effectively more affluent? Wouldn't the free delivery make me more relaxed?
You win a bet if you get the result right, e.g. You predict the result of an event.

This isn't really true, at least not for most real prediction markets, because bets can be traded. The article gives an example: the author bought bets on McCain for the 2008 election early on when they were cheap, then sold them shortly before the Republican convention when they were fetching much higher prices. In other words, he wasn't really betting on McCain winning; he was betting on enough people believing McCain had good odds of winning that he could sell his McCain bets at a profit--i.e., he was indeed winning by guessing the beliefs of others.

Yes, thank you. It wasn't obvious from my post, but I'm not against having fun, per se. Rather, I'm talking about drifting aimlessly, with no clear direction or purpose. And that direction or purpose doesn't have to be work related, or even creative. I have a lot of respect for people who make their families the center of their lives, for example.
I practice kata every day. I typically show up to work 20 - 30 minutes early and pick a problem to work on. I record my answer for later reflection. Sometimes I will repeat a solution I came to before, sometimes I will refine an old approach, and other times I will think of a new way to approach it. I keep all of my problems that I collect and the solutions I come up with in a git repository.

Sometimes I will call to mind an interesting solution I came up with. Having the repository is handy so that I can pull up the problem, the solution I am interested in and perhaps diff it against a previous, similar solution I had came up with before. I use this time to reflect on the changes I made, how it changes the characteristics of the algorithm (time, space, bounds, etc), and whether it states the intent with more clarity than before. I keep these reflections in a journal.

I know I've improved when I notice in my journals that my language changes dramatically from dense, technical language to simple, straight-forward language without losing any of the accumulated knowledge.
Their thinking is made clear in this quote, they don't see the lifetime license as a viable business model.

"However, considering that we need to be able to feed our families, it is likely that 1Password 5 will be sold as a separate paid app, like we did for 1Password 4 in the iOS App Store. We just decided to make 1Password 4 for Mac an exception to this."

You are misunderstanding things. It used to just be an actual t-shirt. But people who already had a t-shirt said they didn't need another one. So an equivalent amount of store credit was given to get something other than a t-shirt. I guess he could have just offered for them to pick from a few different schwag items. Any physical item as a thank you is going to have some sort of dollar value... but I still don't think that automatically puts it into the paid category.

All very good points. I had worked some years ago on a prediction market site which attempted to merge 3 mechanisms for gaining collective intelligence: Polling, paramutual betting, and full buy/sell market. It was motived by the fact that full blown market simulations are a steep learning curve for the non-investor, but that person has a valuable opinion nonetheless. Never did much with it.

The best way to make money in a prediction market is to be able to predict the outcome of the predictions.

I don't think this says quite what you meant. :-) As it stands, it can be read as saying that you can make money by predicting what other people believe, which is in agreement with the parent's #3. (And which is also true--as I noted just upthread, the author of the article in the OP did exactly that by buying and then selling McCain bets for the 2008 election.)

> if you can't measure it, how can you meaningfully improve?

The idea that you must have a quantitative measure to improve something is a bit overboard. Process analysis can teach you a lot about how you (or others) work, what the character of that work is, and suggest ways to improve it. For example, Kim's Screenflow session captures can be viewed as a kind of Contextual Interview[1] ... with himself! In that light, the primary goal could be viewed as one of discovery: "how do I work?" versus "how do I improve metric X in my work?" The initial Kata review may suggest metrics for improvement, but it's the continual process of open-minded review that will identify and suggest areas for improvement.

That said, Chong Kim does cite a key metric: time. So on that point, he's looking to optimize his efficiency with the tools. There's a lot to be said for just time efficiency; improving this can be a very liberating experience as a coder. Speaking from experience with contextual interviews done for others, it's often possible to significantly improve workflow by just hitting the proverbial low hanging fruit.

That said, time isn't the be-all, end-all IMO. In the Katas, I'll argue for time as a model which provides structure to that more important inquiry I cited above: what is his working process and learning process for each new problem domain? How can those be improved?

I'm not sure which is worse -- FOSS Patents or Philip Elmer-DeWitt. Both add such narrative noise and partisan detritus to the commentary that neither are worthwhile sources of information on this.

Apple sent confidential information to an outside attorney, marking it as confidential. The attorney then used that confidential material in making other material, not rightly redacting or not including the material only they were to see, then sending it to many people at Samsung.

Beyond that, such is the whole reason for discovery in things like this.

s/the foundation upon which everything else is built/a foundation on which everything else can be built. If you'll accept this change, we don't disagree at all.

(Also, it is a serious overstatement to attribute Java and C# to PL theorists. Gilad Bracha is not James Gosling. PL theorists have contributed to some extensions to these languages. Typically, the extensions that confuse people and make them feel stupid.)

The difference between the foundation and a foundation is enormous, because (with your very large expensive foundation) you are asking programmers either to program without knowing the foundations of their work, or to learn a large and challenging body of mathematics.

And you know, higher-order typed programming is good enough that it's almost worth it. For most potential customers, however, learning PL theory does not seem to be worth it. Nor are they comfortable in programming in Haskell, a very powerful and complex environment, without understanding it.

It's this "the customer is just wrong" attitude that makes some of us sense an area ripe for disruption. Pride goeth before a fall.
