Semantics are semantics.

The point of semantics is to glean meaning. This does not necessarily mean Oxford Dictionary meaning, nor does it mean HTML Spec meaning.

Here's the tradeoff:
The semantic meaning of a bootstrap class is evident to the developers. The semantic meaning of an element is evident to the browser.

What is more valuable to you: a common language amongst multiple developers, or a semantically rich HTML document? I'd imagine for most web-apps, where permanence is unlikely and iteration is constant, that the former is true. Bootstrap provides a predictable common language, despite it's not-so-semantic effects on the markup.

I agree with woah here - real world benefits of semantic class names are, probably, waning.
Well to be fair, the camera exists, you just can't buy it yet. But perhaps it would be good to have some way of differentiating headlines about buyable products from prototypes/research projects etc.
Depends on the method used to print.

If you use selective laser sintering (which is what Shapeways uses), what you do is keep on adding layers of a fine powder, then us a laser to fuse them together in the places where you want your object. The powder supports the object, so things like a chain are entirely possible to print. When you're done, you drain the powder away and have your completed object (which you may then do further finishing on like sanding or painting).

Other 3D printing methods like extrusion may be able to do so, if they have two nozzles and can print both the final material and some supporting material that could be melted or dissolved away.
RSACryptoServiceProvider uses Sha-1. It does not ask for a hash function. I learned this recently while trying to port over a client C# program to Golang.
As far as grid layouts go, bootstrap's is fine. The main argument against grid layouts is that they incorrectly couple two things:

1) Content and presentation (by having the HTML actually include layout information).

2) Various classes that use the grid classes (which have no reason to be coupled).

It's difficult, because standard CSS doesn't give us a great way of solving the problem. If you are going to move the descriptions of layout into the CSS, where they belong, then there will be a lot of repetition without variables/classes that things like SASS give you. In my opinion you are far better off by at least separating the concerns and having a bit of repetition in your CSS rather than using a grid system in your HTML, should you be using standard CSS.

Competition may drop among tech startups, but you quickly enter the world of heavyweight long-standing businesses who have the capital and marketshare to stomp you out.

Not many startup 20-something CEO's are worried about competition when launching a new mobile app hatched in a weekend bender but sell something more traditional and essential like kids clothing and you'll spend sleepless nights worrying about Wal-Mart and other established providers who could and (prob) will squash you.
I did that before too! Honestly, it did feel like gambling a bit. It worked until the company one day went bankrupt.

After that I started looking at newsletter service like Motley Fool, but curious to see if there are other services that people recommend. I have looked at Personal Capital (iPhone app), but haven't booked a session with them yet.

Personally, I have been a turned off by financial advisors.
People seem to hate it when I do that.
That's if you sign the data. If you just run Decrypt, it does not ask for a hash function. Under the hood, it uses Sha-1.

Edit: Here is a link to the golang implementation
http://golang.org/pkg/crypto/rsa/#DecryptOAEP
It takes a hash as the first param
Here is the C# counterpart

It does not take in a hash function though I believe you can modify how it works although I never tried to.

I wasn't referring to explicitly signing the data.

"Why the tech press is ignoring Zulily's huge IPO"

Separate issue is that one way to get pageviews after (or in this case before) a story is by doing a story on why the press is doing the wrong thing.

The story about the story in other words.

Happens more often after some big event gets all played out in the media, the milking is done, no more for the talking head on tv, then the media starts to question the coverage of the big event and what was done wrong and why so much attention was paid to it.
The sneaky possibility has already begun. You just have to follow the depths of the newsgroup :)

Why must there be a law? What major tablet market doesn't already have free electronics recycling available? In the US, most big-box electronics stores take items for recycling from any manufacturer. Given the very high price floors seen in used tablet markets (eBay, Craigslist, etc), I doubt all that many are being thrown out in the first place.
Makes sense. HTML/CSS/JS is not a bad way to build UI and if you're going to have an HTML rendering engine and JS VM on your machine, you might as well use it.

When WebView on iOS and Android finally get WebGL support ( what's taking so slong?!!?), native app development with native SDKs will plummet.

The original article seems to have disappeared but here's an archived version on a newsgroup:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/soc.culture.israel/q...

Really glad this was brought up because I just realized an old acquaintance of mine was also arrested at the same event along with Hammond O_O. Add that to the fact that my credit card was leaked as a part of the Stratfor hack, and the fact that I happened to live 2 blocks away from where Sabu did, and I have an unsettling number of weird connections to this case.
Pinterest primarily targets women as well, but they get lots of press.
Weirdly enough, the near-north suburbs of Chicago do have a problem with old, holocaust-denying Nazis.

Another ironic dimension to the restaurant assault and its parallels to the whole Hammond case: the one guy that got injured in that incident was injured by a protester, and had nothing to do with the Nazis; he was just an innocent bystander.

Thank you for pointing out where my analogy breaks.

My point is not to denigrate any popular process or advanced technological tools. And I don't embrace big design up front for everything, especially when it makes it even more easier (and more expensive) to paint yourself into a corner. I wanted to draw attention to a simple fact: sometimes the medium of production is not necessarily the best medium for thinking about that production and being immersed in that medium can prevent you from realizing this, thanks to the human psychology that took hundreds of thousands of years.
Same here. It's really hard to press if you don't swap Ctrl and Caps Lock though.
The data presented in this article is extremely suspect. The methodology for both the collection of shipment information and the extrapolation to revenue are secret (or at least not reported here -- see the update at the bottom of the story). As a community that is concerned with accuracy and precision, I think we should be bothered by this. Instead it's a launchpad for arguments based on conjecture and personal anecdote.
After hand-crafting CSS with semantic markup for years, using the techniques suggested here, I've started liberally sprinkling Bootstrap classes in my markup. It's not clear to me that it's any less maintainable than the alternative.

My primary way of achieving reuse, as a developer, is through templating and partials and helpers; they're what I use to avoid runaway repetition of styles, which means that redundant Bootstrap class usage isn't often a pain point. But keeping classes inline does make it easier for me to debug layout problems at a glance, where relationships between elements are clear. Those classes might not have semantic value to the consumer of the page, but they certainly have semantic value to me. And most of the time, I care more.

Large CSS files, even semantic ones, are difficult to maintain, and often give you little feedback on the meaningful relationships that elements have with each other. Pure semantic markup is a myth: web pages are structured documents, and that structure has an impact on style, which is constrained by the limited descriptive power of CSS itself.

Nice, I fell into this very trap with http://follower.io... We let our first 10 customers or so drive our feedback and direction picking.

It was only when we stepped back and started using our own product that we came out with a more clear direction for moving forward with development.

Google invests significant effort into making iOS apps because they make more money from them than they do from Android.
So they have a web browser for the sole purpose of setting up an GLES context for their UI? On a video game console? I guess that's what you do when you suddenly have 8GB of RAM, you piss it away on useless shit...
That is more than embarrasing. I actually wrote quite a bit about how I am not sure if they are actively developing it and so on. Sorry to see that it got lost at some point.
I was basically trying to figure out if there will be any improvements to sl in the near future, and if anyone is having any information about it.

How Can HTML Compete with Native?
You don't even need WebGL, plain HTML + CSS, when coupled with a JS framework like Angular can produce very nice results. I've built Aether[1] that way.

Edit: The product is not the page, Aether is a desktop application. The page crashes devices low on memory because of the retina screenshots, and yes, I'm having a new site up soon.

This isn't really a new idea - the military already have versions of these that they can throw into a room or inclosed space to gain optics on it upon before entering it to clear it. They also have versions that can be launched over a longer distance via grenade launcher.

If you think people like that get rights, sure.

But they also drove them out, someone happened to be hit by an object. You make it sound like they shit-kicked some old people. Which is bullshit.
> When WebView on iOS and Android finally get WebGL support, native app development will plummet.

WebGL just hands you a GLES context. Nobody writing 2D native apps deals directly with GL at all, and nobody wants to. WebGL will do squat to replace native app development as a result, it's completely unrelated.

The only ones dealing with GL directly do so for performance, and they sure as hell aren't going to be tempted by HTML/CSS/JS because that's all anti-performance.
I believe in the 80% solution. Put your money to work rather than stuffing it in a mattress, but favor the 80%-of-optimal solution that's easy to set and forget, instead of the 100%-optimal solution that requires micromanagement, expertise, and luck.

To that end, keep only a little in savings (emergency fund), and put the rest in a 401k or IRA, invested in index funds. Index funds are a great 80% approach, because:

- They track an index (e.g. S&P 500) which is likely to go up and up in the long term

- They are very low cost since they are not actively managed

- You can watch them every day, or forget about them for two years

- Warren Buffet recommends them, and he seems to be doing okay
There are lots of laws that are not considered immoral on their own, but are enforced due to practical constraints on determining risk. Driving a car without a license is not an immoral act if someone posses the training and skill and carefully applies these. However, determining the individual case risk becomes practically impossible and thus we make driving without a license illegal. The same goes for construction permits, business and contractual law, etc.

Similarly, things with very high risk of long term negative effects to the society or the individual are made illegal due to the risk and not due to the immorality of the event itself, such as our drug laws.
No, it won't.

As a iOS developer, I write native because I want to deliver the best possible user experience. I've done HTML5 with PhoneGap and it does not deliver the same experience. WebGL on iOS will not change that at all.
This makes me think about my own hard time attracting coverage.

My startup make educational games and applications for kids, that are actually fun (instead of just educational and terribly boring, or entertaining but teaches lots of bad stuff).

Yet... even when I want to tell a journalist to cover us, I don't find a reason to do so... I mean, what we are doing is not sexy, also we don't have famous VC with us, also we did not went to YC (and won't go, the CEO has wife and very little kids and cannot move away for 3 months), we don't know in person anyone famous, we had no crazy or surprising funding, our product despite being novelty in the sense that everyone else go pure entertainment or pure educational is still not much "disrupting", it is just something we found a demand and no offer and decided to offer.

I even met recently the editor of the largest brazillian tech magazine... And I had some small talk with her, but I found no reason whatsoever to give to her to cover us, and it is not that we are unknown, because she uses our products and love them, it is just that... :/
That is the assertion of the title, but the body of the article (correct me if I'm wrong) refers to total units, not noting that (A) it took Amazon, Samsung, Google, HP, ASUS, and all other companies that make Android tablets lumped together to out-sell essentially a single product[1] from Apple, (B) most of those devices were low-price low-profit-margin units as contrasted with Apple making some 50% profit off each sale, and (C) how many of those units were relegated to minor usage (or disused entirely in short order) for minor purposes (video player, occasional games) vs "heavy use" (broadly speaking; see other comment about actual network traffic).

I can't tell how sarcastic you're being. :) Trying to chase what's hip (esp in the eyes of white male 20-somethings living in SV) is exactly the problem. When it comes to procreating, how likely do you think that demographic is to think about problems/opportunities re: raising children?
I subscribed Google Play Music when they first offered the service and enjoyed it but I feel Spotify is much more conducive to 3rd party add-ons, I couldn't find many differences with the subscription based libraries (the ability to upload to google play is nice...but also free) and Spotify actually has an API, Desktop Application, actual 3rd party support. In my experience any 3rd party support (last.fm, etc) in Google Music breaks every release, which was the main reason why I switched back to Spotify. It may be a little more $ each month but I found the advantages Spotify has over GPM were worth the cost.
Their comments about storage cluster density are interesting. I'm still shocked that hard drive design basically hasn't changed at all.

What I'd like to see is hard-drives that don't need to be screwed in and don't need sleds. Instead they are machined with grooves on the tops, bottoms and sides to be "slide in, slide out" and have the grooves be multipurpose in the sense that they are designed for airflow. i.e. the top of one hard drive mates with the bottom of an identical hard drive to create channels through which air can be forced through and cool both drives maximally, simultaneously.

Basically take the level of machining Apple puts into designing the the Macbook Pros and apply it to hard drives. If designed correctly, you should be able to pack them together, side by side in a way that they lock (like a jigsaw puzzle or the Heineken World Bottle[0]) in a stable "lattice" of hard drives that only permit sliding out to one side and permit efficient cooling.

Screws and sleds are so yesteryear.

I honestly don't think anyone is trivializing anyone's commitment. Rather, I think what Ashe and James are pointing out is that the opportunity to contribute to OSS is not distributed equally between the sexes and races. Who's to say that more minorities wouldn't contribute to OSS if they had the time, access, and resources?

Or, to take it to an extreme, why is Silicon Valley in California and not Botswana? Do you believe that the people of Botswana are inherently less intelligent? less motivated? less capable?

Or is it their environment which is working against them? Jared Diamond has probably one of the most interesting takes on how these sorts of inequities can arise on a regional level (Germs, Guns, and Steel: http://www.amazon.com/Guns-Germs-Steel-Fates-Societies/dp/03...), but is it such a stretch to imagine that the same sorts of inequities don't exist at smaller scales as well?
The advice about singling out pairs of people is really interesting. How does one go about approaching them if they are in mid conversation?

Do you just lurk, wait for a brief pause, then swoop in? This seems creepy.

Do you just barge in mid-sentence? This seems rude.

Do you chime in if they something that catches your interest? This seems nosy.

You don't understand why tax code is complex. It's not complex because we don't know how to make it simple (that may be true but that is not the real reason), but because politicians explicitly do not want to make it simple. Making it simple would remove a very powerful way to control behavior from them, and if politicians of (almost) all shades hate something equally it is not being able to control something. The tax code is complex because it's not only tax code (i.e. means of extracting money from people to fund the government) but a vast regulatory engine.

Credit card rewards are complex because competing on price only is hard and brutal and if you're dealing with commodities - and credit card access from the issuer side is commoditized - it drives your margins down into unsustainable territory pretty quickly. So people invent all kinds of schemes that they can compete on without getting into direct price competition. I don't see how removing this would be a huge net benefit to society. I like getting 2% back from my every purchase and 5% back from certain ones. Yes, I know these are the same 2% the merchant is charged with, but credit card companies won't work for free. So I have a choice - either they charge merchants less and don't care about me - i.e. don't entice me with rewards and so on - or they charge a bit more and give it back to me as a reward. I personally like it better when they compete for my attention - that's kind of a relationship that usually leads to a better service than "you're not the one actually paying us so we'll take your call in next 2 hours or so".
Especially when you are targeting a single environment with a relatively rich feature set. You can build some pretty awesome UI with keyframe animations and constraint-based (flex box) layouts if you don't have to worry about legacy desktop browsers.
I'd always used Ctrl-a in screen because it was the default. When I moved to tmux I just moved it there, but tmux lets me send the Ctrl-a key sequence through to those apps.

So if I want to go to the beginning of a line in Bash, I just press C-a C-a (which actually works if I hold down Ctrl and press 'a' twice.

Not a big deal at all, and since I remap Caps Lock to Ctrl, the command combo is right on my left hand. (I slide my hand over a bit as if I were playing guitar or piano, rather than stretch fingers, so pinky on CapsLock, ring finger on a.)
