Hacking a better look by checking the runway brands
8 for 8: 8″ Windows 8.1 Tablets hit the market
Very disappointing if there is no workaround available to the "ordinary" user. Enough to make me fully question whether I want to use Chrome at all.

Question: what is the situation with ChromeOS? If this applies to ChromeOS then it is essentially in the same locked down, anti-competitive state that the Apple app store is in. It is the main reason I avoid Apple devices and would pretty much put ChromeOS devices on the same blacklist as well for me.
Private extensions are possible via the Chrome Web Store. You can make it available to anyone with the link, or a list of "trusted testers".

This is a great idea, but I don't know if I'm comfortable with outsourcing empathy. I donate when I (or someone I trust and like) come across a cause worth supporting. I have very few recurring donations.

I'm not super knowledgable about climate.com, but I can tell you what we're doing. For PetroFeed we're taking various data sets (public, commercial, and private) and connecting them into a single network. From there we're looking to provide collaboration tools on top of that network.
The CV was created in LaTeX using a modified moderncv template: (http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/modernc... )

As for the font in the section titles: I don't know. For the body it uses the lmodern font (http://www.tug.dk/FontCatalogue/lmodern/ )

I would have been easier to create the CV in word; but I prefer the font layouting in LaTeX to Word/Pages/Google Docs/etc...
Well, I downloaded IE11 to replace IE10 on my VM, and all the issues I had with my current WIP are still present. I'm using `calc()` heavily for a quite complex responsive layout, and paddings are missing on some places and CSS transitions don't work properly while everything works just fine in Firefox and Chrome. I haven't been able to find what's causing these issues, but given IE's history, I suspect that a fix could simply be `zoom:1` or `min-height:100%` or whataver hack du jour you have to remember this time around.

So not at all impressed by this release so far. Will have to wait another year for IE12 and hope it can really compete with FF and Chrome, that means, opening IE and having no surprises.
Couldnt agree more, thunderbird is ok, but its fairly slow and hasnt gotten much improvements usability-wise since netscape mail, its basically the same.

Speedwise its not up to par either I think, searching is quite bad, but this might be issues really with imap rather than anything else. My last efforts have been beefing up our mailserver and also adding full text indexing for searching which helped a bit but there is still a long way to go to get it really instant.
The price of a cup of coffee(for everyone in the US) would be around 600 million :)

So it's less than the price of a cup of coffee really.
If this was something that a lot of admin users wanted to restrict from their users surely Google could have made the complete disabling of this feature from all users available in the admin panel.

But that should be an opt in feature for the admin.
Their support of the Iraq War was pretty unfortunate, and possibly leads to this characterization.

Your tagline is quite a paradox. Making deliberate practice simple is just the opposite what is deliberate practice. Which is difficult and hard.

My issue is that this is a generic tool. I also think you get the feedback theory wrong. Paying $7 for measuring myself againt some arbitrary concentration level is a joke. And also that function times out for me.

But the main question, why does this help me to do deliberate practice? I don't see any feature you have that would help:

- a list to remember for myself what areas to practice, schedule that and did I do that? but that is nothing more than a todo list

- I think the feedback concept is wrong. I understand you want to capture that somehow, but eg. for a tennis player or musician, in a session there are feedback every second, what you observe an correct in the minute. It's not a 1-5 scale for the whole session and not something you measure this way.

- go to calnewport.com , he has some good stuff on this

In my opinion the biggest problem with deliberate practice is to find out what to practice and with what framework. A gut feeling, but from a business perspective I don't see a business here. How many ppl did you interview?
What's great is that after the update, it's already working better for me. For what it's worth, when I called Apple about it, both support techs I spoke to had experienced the issues as well.
It seemed to be correlated with large inboxes and whether "All Mail" was enabled as an IMAP folder in Gmail's settings. It was generally recommended to not be enabled in 10.8 and lower, and is now recommended in 10.9+.
Would a signed certificate approach allow them to deny extensions, or not? If yes, they could still deny ad blockers that way. If no, it is a weaker form of security than this is.
Oh, awesome, it's promising a fix for the inaccurate unread counts I've been having. Looking forwards to updating once I'm done with air travel today.
Oh this argument in here is ridiculous. Sure the U.S. space program was expensive but the amount of bi-products of that program has far since justified the cost.

TrueCrypt to go through a crowdfunded, public security audit
It did indeed! But they recalled them as they were dangerous at fault, it was to do with some of the glue if I remember rightly.

It should definitely be taken seriously, but Tesla have put their cars through the NCAP testing which does check to see if they set on fire after an accident. I'd wager there's a specific defect that effects a number, but a lot of the articles have made it out as if you're driving a ticking time bomb.
Show HN: My unique approach to my resume
You pair with people you like and do code reviews with people you don't like (misquoted from someone way smarter than me).

With large teams, especially if distributed or partially outsourced, code reviews can ensure code quality. But also be a total bottle neck if over-bureaucratic and some reviews are of low quality due to lack of context. Often combined with ivory tower architects as well.

In smaller, agile and especially collocated teams code reviews will flag issue unnecessarily late in the process. Just pair from the start instead to ensure no short cuts or dodgy code slips through, and automatically spread the knowledge. If you do not trust two of your developers combined then you do have a serious problem.

You can though in addition have small and short swarming/tripling/quadrupling sessions in front of 1 computer to look at especially important issues.

If you do neither code reviews nor pairing then you are in trouble.
this works great for me!

I'm not sure what your expectations are of this web site but as far as I can tell we're a bunch of people with different opinions. :-)

To me an IPO is very much a conflict of interest situation with asymmetry of information. There are laws to govern this but there is a huge gray area.

Once a company is public it's a little different...

In my opinion capital markets have been getting more broken in many ways and have been favoring the big guys over the little guys in many ways. I say that as someone who invests in the markets, have benefited from stock options and pretty much seen things from many different angles. In the last 15 years capital markets have failed to deliver the economic growth and the gap between the rich and the poor has widened.
The alleged reasoning is to stop malware. A signed certificate must come from an authority willing to put their own reputation on the line, but Google does not need to be the only such authority.

This is also the case in Windows (now) but only for Metro style applications. Those compiled for Windows 8 use the IE10 control and for 8.1, the IE11 control.
oh thank god they also finally fixed the 13inch mb pro retina freezes.
is this a troll or did I miss something?
Not really if you want to trade. They are playing safe instead of having balances in USD and BTC so that you don't need an ACH for each buy/sell, which takes a week.

The Guy who Isn't Capable of Communication or Cooperation.

You choose your pejorative terms, I'll choose mine.
Does this really solve the problem?

I imagine most of these complaints come from people who pick up the extensions via bundling (not opting out of something when installing software). As those bundles run off of executables with admin privileges in Windows, the last change was circumvented simply by altering some files in the user's chrome directory and the registry. I imagine a similar tactic will defeat this measure. At least before the removal of the third party installation route, Chrome was able to control the messaging and generate warnings. These changes are simply pushing the malevolent even further underground.

Implementing experimental layout techniques is less risky than implementing a two way communication protocol.

On the Verification Complexity of Group Decision-Making Tasks
All of my projects now include a Vagrantfile. It makes managing dependencies and creating repeatable environments simple.

The work flow is:

$ vagrant up
$ vagrant ssh

Editing and committing changes take place on the host. Running servers, tests, building Docker containers, etc, takes place on the guest.

You can get a new device ready for hacking on a project in minutes. Just git clone, vagrant up, grab a quick coffee.

I would definitely recommend putting VMs in your work flow.
Ember SelectionMixin
This is the first of four contests that will run throughout the coming year. Contest #2, scheduled for Jan - March, is going to ask for functioning apps / prototypes that address an idea surfaced in part #1 (with larger prizes). Contest #3 will be a design and visualization challenge.

The goal was to engage a broad community (read: MBAs :-) ... but also energy professionals/researchers that can't necessarily code). But we're hoping to fire up the dev/designer community in Contests #2-4. We've already seen some awesome ideas submitted, so we're hoping this model works well.

Maybe. I used to think a lot of conclusions I had were absurd.

I think the NYT has come a long way from the paper storied of old.

Also, and I mean this in the most non ad hominem way possible. At what point would you disclose your former and ongoing relationship with the NYT in making a comment like that?
Hi snowwrestler, I'm one of the shrill and incomplete activists at EFF.

You're correct in the abstract that such an agreement would need Senate review, but as noted in the piece and as we described in a letter to the Senate signed by Amnesty International, FSF, Free Press, and a bunch of others, the USTR is currently seeking "fast track authority" to bypass that process.

Read the editorial: the NY Times is endorsing an agreement that the public can't read. If they wanted it to be conditional, they could have written it that way. But instead, they acknowledged concerns and then dismissed them without a good explanation. And the public can't explain it themselves because we can't read the text.

Probably the differences are your Docker instances run on dedicated server instead, and you have all the setup and preparation and maintaince made for you.
> But the big fixes to layout have been harder to specify and agree upon. They've been in the works for many years, but it's taken a while to figure out how they really should work, and which parts should be fundamental. It looks like it's getting a lot closer; the CSS Grid Module

Although lower-level and not as modular, flexbox can already be used with great success for a number of layout sections (media objects, vertical centering, input inserts) or full layouts ("holy grail", sticky footers and grids): http://philipwalton.github.io/solved-by-flexbox/

Flexbox is a CR, and it's starting to get pretty well supported: http://caniuse.com/#feat=flexbox
upvoted, because until I read your comment I was wondering "WHAT THE GOD DAMN HELL IS GOING ON WITH MY COMPUTER?!"
I still read a resume page by page. Maybe it's different if it's displayed as a web page, but most are still in page form in a PDF.

Also, the '1 page' rule of thumb is not a hangover, it's a great rule - one physical page happens a good amount of space to show your experience, but not have too much information that it can't all be read quickly. It's a positive limitation.
I used this technique for my lunch break -- with great results. Before I took the break, I was very motivated to finish the project I was working on. But I decided to leave it unfinished. After lunch, I started right back again without 'lost time' checking my email and such.
I think that you completely missed my point. I understand that India makes the most films. What I'm saying is that they should diversify into the American (or global) market and make another couple billion a year.

Animation is probably the logical place. It's not the quantity of films, but the quality.

Bollywood does makes some great movies, of course: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_Idiots

Here's what Hollywood makes:

http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/2012/how-much-does-hol...

It looks like they get around $10 billion US and $25-$30 billion internationally.

So, in the big scheme of things, a billion dollars is less than the Avengers made at the box office.

As an analytic phil PhD dropout and a Haskell lover I can say with confidence that (a) Gottlob Frege (the philosopher) was awesome (I still want a 'morning star != evening star' tattoo) and (b) Frege sounds lovely too. I'd actually considered writing something similar.

Even looking at the side-by-side shots of DOM Explorer, I have a hard time telling which one is new and which one is old.

Agreed on some of the buzzword inclusion that comes across as blatant pandering. I've also started seeing buzzwords in bold, which hopefully does not become a trend.

mutt user here, in an xterm actually but that's another story...

I'd kill for a decent cross platform mail client. They're all shit. I've literally tried them all. Always end up back on mutt + procmail.

Scarily enough, a version of outlook express that bothers to respect standards, has a decent on disk format (maildir please) and a decent editor would hit the mark.
Where did you get that it mimics the screen?
You'd better be sure the objections are inconsequential before you slap the ad-hominem "That Guy" label on someone out of frustration. Sometimes you're so committed to a particular course of action that someone who raises legitimiate objections is a theat to your baby, and you're just being blind to the ego dynamics at play.
They do seem to have very little policing of the Chrome Web Store. It's actually annoying to have an app on there that is legit, as so many of the top places in the store are taken up by unscrupulous rip-offs of Super Mario Bros and Sonic the Hedgehog. I could make some money too by putting classic games into a javascript emulator, plastering the page with ads, and submitting a few hundred apps (one for each game) to the Chrome Web Store. I'd rather play by the rules and have Google properly run their marketplace, though.
So, hi there. I'd like to invest in you guys, where do I send the cheque? :)
I tried Airmail for a few days, then went back to Mail. The biggest problem was that I could not figure out how to use operators such as "from:" and "to:" when searching. The other problems included strange behavior in the composer, and an overall lack of polish.
the most obnoxious part about this is extensions will not update automatically or otherwise. you are forced unpack and drag in the extension for every change.
>especially for Bush is more than a stretch of reality.

I don't necessarily agree with your parent's assertion, but do you not remember the NYT beating the drums of war as loud as anyone in the lead up to Iraq?
But surely after it goes to the senate it will be either a ratify or no-ratify on the agreement. Negotiations will have already finished between countries and everything agreed on, is there any scope for change or public input at that point?

The TPP is going to be terrible for some countries, including patent agreements that will multiply the cost of drugs, forced disconnection for copyright infringement and the ability for multi-nationals to sue governments who make laws that will hurt their future profits (eg safety, regulation, security, environmentalism, etc).

It's something the public should be actively involved in now, while negotiations are occurring rather than being placated by the New York Times for it to later roll through the senate.
Ask HN: What does everyone think of Azure?
For Bush's first term, the characterization is only a bit inaccurate. For Bush's second term, it's obviously wildly off the mark.

For Obama's time in office, both terms, the NYT has indeed functioned as a de facto press room of the administration.

Who said the web was designed to be printed?

I said the web was tought to be printed, all the effort of CSS (circa 98) was about styling the web in a way that made sense for print, not for interaction.

So the extension being installed on some malicious site would have a popup talking about security certificates and such, and asking the user whether they want to proceed? You and I might think twice, but most users just click "Yes". Signed certificates would not be adequate to protect the average user.
I love this form.

I can't stand credit card forms that split the credit card number into 4 inputs ("[XXXX] [XXXX] [XXXX] [XXXX]") because I can't paste my number in (the first box has a maxlength of 4 usually)

Yet, for people who are typing in the number (vs pasting it), the 4 sections makes it easier.

This form is the best of both worlds.

They still did not fix the delete keyboard key issue with Gmail: Pressing delete sends directly to the trash and skips the archive. There's no key shortcut for archive.

Which is odd, because iOS 7 has Gmail not offering "delete" but "archive" for the inbox.

> the general public

Do you generally hear this sentiment from "the general public"? In my experience, it comes more from people who are disillusioned by their direct interactions with group X.
The NY Times stopped using the word torture to describe what the US was doing because of the Bush Admin. The New York times supported the Iraq War and was the leading the charge for a war with Iran during Bush's second term.

These are good points. Would you rather write a document that is one page and will be viewed carefully, or a 3 page document that will be scanned? It seems a pretty easy decision, but generally screeners will want to spend the same amount of time viewing every resume and are unlikely to give a candidate who provides 6 pages three times the amount of viewing as they would someone who writes 2 pages.
We actually had the luxury of comparing parallel efforts. While Node was being readied for production we were writing our new consumer/wallet app with the PayPal Java framework (based on Spring). Meanwhile we started writing the Node version. Once we got to a certain point the Java team insisted that they stop the Java development and start on Node with the node team. At this point we had two versions of the app built in two stacks and thus could compare code size, developer productivity & scale.

Of course, if we compare the new node apps vs the old PayPal code... well that would be a poor comparison as they really were old and monolithic.
Of course if Apple Mail claims compatibility with the worlds biggest email service they should live up to that.

But it amazes, and frankly kind of depresses me, that so many people on HN only see this as an Apple issue, whilst it's quite clear that Google is messing with open standards to make email (and other services) less and less portable and less accessible for third party clients.

As far as I can tell, that is the root of the problem, Google's continued move away from open standards and towards old school vendor lock-in. The old phrase "embrace, extend and extinguish" comes to mind. We should know better.
Out of interest, who's telling you it needs more detail?
"Question: what is the situation with ChromeOS?"

I don't know, but why would anyone even consider running ChromeOS? The fact that you have to sign in (with a Google account) gives Google unprecedented opportunity to track your activity in the OS. Even something as simple as printing to your desktop printer requires sending your documents via Google's cloud print service.

Imagine having to sign in to Windows or your Mac with your email address and having to remain signed in always to use the OS. Most of us would be horrified. I'm just astonished by how little comment is made of Google's insatiable appetite to track and record online behaviour.
Airmail works fine, except I don't like the layout. Is there anyway to get what Mail.app calls the "classic" layout?
For months I prefer numbers ordered in a way that respond to digits as input. If I press 8, I don't jump to 8 in this list because it has 08. It's minor, but a peeve of mine :)
