> In economics terms, that's the same thing.

Only in the most simplistic understanding – anyone serious will factor in limited information and human irrationality rather than assuming that observed market behaviour represents Econ 101 game-theoretical optimal decisions.

If you work at a large company, you might be well paid because you're working on the CEO's pet iOS project and there's a developer shortage. The market is working to give you higher pay but there's no relation to any sort of actual value. Most places don't even make a serious effort to quantify value or cost in a remotely scientific manner.
Sudden Progress on Prime Number Problem Has Mathematicians Buzzing
Totally agree - It's definitely a question of overcoming reluctance. Sometimes, people can describe why they like a product but they just don't translate that into actual use. They probably aren't aware of their own reluctance, so we perhaps have to help them through it with those specifics, and then reveal the general use beyond.
You should just try using Python for real, and your view on meaningful indentation should change to the opposite, as it has for so many other people.
Employees are your most prized asset I wouldn't limit it to just devs.
I'm not even sure about that one. Oracle are a bad guy (always) but I'm not sure Google weren't one too in that particular case. If you replay the situation in your head imagining MS in the Google role and Sun in the Oracle role would you have felt the same way?

I think the conclusion that API's are not copyrightable is pretty much preposterous from my understanding of copyright law. A decision that there was a 'fair use' right to copy API's for compatibility purposes would have been an interesting and probably valuable development although I'm not sure Dalvik would have applied here.

Groklaw's example API to explain what API's (adding numbers I think) was also applied when considering whether there was creativity in expression and correctly the conclusion was that there isn't in the case of adding but then Groklaw inappropriately extrapolated this view to all API's.

The court reporting could be useful though you are right. Florian Mueller (http://www.fosspatents.com/) attends some of the German ones and I find his reporting on the patent cases very good. Groklaw seemed to have taken the view that you couldn't believe a word he said but I never quite understood why (although it might have been the Oracle v. Google case as he didn't see it the Groklaw way and had at some point consulted for Oracle).

You don't have to use flag package from the stdlib, there a are plenty of others, eg: https://github.com/jessevdk/go-flags
Probably the fact that it diverges from the de-facto standard in GNU systems, making it potentially harder to remember.
Um, no, it's not. The equals sign is not required, it is simply supported (as it is with many if not most other command line flag parsers), and single-dash is hardly unusual outside GNU tools. It may be different from what you are accustomed to, but you are not omniscient.
Woke up to see my project here on HN, cool :)

We just released the alpha, and there are some really important things on our roadmap for the next few weeks: Android performance, list virtualization (for huge lists), better scroll performance, and fixing bugs. Right now Ionic projects feel best on iOS but we want to change that.

Let us know what you think as we work on the beta!
I have lost faith in our system, thanks to patents. Wrote this just a few hours back https://medium.com/i-m-h-o/399c21224f8b
Hi rartichoke, thanks for your comment.

Yes, I don't really believe it'll take off - but it was worth a try for a day's work. Plus I got to use Stripe for the first time, which is so much nicer than PayPal.

FDD is a sort of Chicken-and-Egg website - if thousands of people used it, it would be trusted. But they don't, so it's not.

P.S. Feel free to set yourself a deadline - I am a real person, and I will give you money back.
I am a programmer, writer and musician, but I don’t find any of them easy.

Programming is unique, though, because the tools you use to do it can also be used to make the task in general much easier.
The $3.99 price seems off due to the 99 cent add on, just make it a round number.

I would also add information about what problem this solves and how it saves time.
I don't mean this in some passive aggressive way at all but I was genuinely curious to hear your thoughts on why publish this at all. It's interesting data though for sure, I will give you that :)
Out of curiosity why not use standard scrolling on iOS?
On what systems is single-dash plus word (instead of single letter) common? Not trying to argue, I barely use anything besides GNU/Linux, but even in the Plan9 docs I only remember seeing single letter options after a dash.

Question - what does one gain from using this over raw Angular itself, or something like Yeoman for generating a scaffold?
from that link: "Throughout Germany there are standards "repositories", or libraries, where the public can view standards for free. For more information go to
http://www.beuth.de/de/rubrik/auslegestellen (German only)"

Anyone can go into one of those libraries listed here and have a look into the Standard Documents, most commonly with a desktop computer connected over the internet to access the online database.

It's still free, just not free as in free on the internet.

Beuth is the DIN owned publisher.
I like what they write about functional programming.

"Functional Programming

Long viewed as an important theoretical idea, functional programming finally became truly convenient and practical with the introduction of the Wolfram Language."

Not sure if anyone can take that seriously.
I use it as the only database in most of the projects I've work at my company, using Ohm [1] as our ORM. Usually we don't have use cases with ad hoc queries like `name LIKE '%Smith'`, so it serves our purposes very well. When we need something like that, we integrate with something like Elasticsearch.

> There is some evidence that in that sort of situation, China would invade North Korea, taking the northern third of the country.

I think most people consider that a near-certainty. The Chinese government has made it evident that it doesn't want a US-aligned Korea sharing a large land border with it, and doesn't want a flood of Korean refugees entering China.
"Developping native mobile app in HTML 5" seems like something that would confuse a lot of people knowing technologies such as Titanium.

if i understood correctly, ionic is about "developping native looking mobile apps in HTML 5 / CSS". You don't create native UITableView using javascript calls forwarded to Objective-C Code, do you ?
Hello zerop, it is possible that eventually the API will get more open to improvements again. The idea at this stage is that we need more "maturity" features before to raise the complexity of the API.

However built in support for bloom filters and range queries in sorted sets are two random examples of things that could get implemented in the future.

Guideline 3 in http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_... suggests that multiple characters after a single dash should be multiple arguments. And, for example, GNU chose a different syntax ( --foo=bar ) for long options.

(edited to clarify that I actually don't know historically why they chose that)

i'm confused. how can they be efficient if they get hot? are they less efficient than the coiled tubes? if so, why are they an improvement?

edit: how can they be more efficient than cfls if they get hotter? how are the cooler cfls wasting energy? you can't just "lose" energy - it has to go somewhere. and normally for losses, it's heat.
And a lot of people using open source products think so too :-)
That's why I recommended to use an escrow service to hold the money. You take a small hit (%) from using it but then the money is held at a reputable third party place.

I'm not sure why I would pay for this? Couldn't I implement something like this on my own? I'm assuming if I’m competent enough to build a quality single-page app, I could manage the redirects on my own.

Either way, the decision to give up has a natural way of finding itself at the point where opportunity costs are greater than the current work being done. Meaning, it’s probably a path you have to find on your own.
That's new in Python 3.3, which doesn't fall foul of that bug. This is PEP 393 (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0393/) if you want more reading about it.

Ah yes, Atwood's Law (http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2007/07/the-principle-of-le...) strikes again.
We do support it, you can set overflow-scroll="true" on a content area to use it(http://ionicframework.com/docs/angularjs/views/content/)

But -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch has some limitations. For one, you don't receive scroll events after a flick when the finger has left the screen. There are also some very strange issues in the mobile browsers with it, it's a buggy solution right now.

In order to build some of the more interesting UI things like pull to refresh, and then list virtualization (i.e. only rendering the active subset), it made sense to have more control over the scrolling operation.

But that was a decision I made a few weeks back so I might be wrong, and I would love to use the browser scrolling if possible.
just ignore it.
Yes. The language in itself isn't that interesting, but the collection of libraries is vast and mostly world class.
tl;dr: LED bulbs get too hot, lowering their life expectancy. Manufacturers need to include cheap thermistor circuits, which automatically dim the light to a safe thermal equilibrium.
Anytime I see some crazy wording like, "Which of these call-to-action button versions increased clickthroughs by 600%?", my first thought is "Too small of a sample size". Over a large sample size, it's hard to believe that the difference in those two buttons would be anywhere close to 600%. Maybe I missed it - did she say anywhere how many days/impressions were used?
They're more efficient, not perfectly efficient.

Edit to your edit: The amount of heat is actually quite small in comparison to a CFL. The temperature they're talking about is the die temperature. LED dies are tiny, so even though they can reach high temperatures, there's much less heat (waste energy) generated.

The world does not revolve around POSIX guidelines. Shocking, no?
Well, you don't get any UI stuff if you just use raw Angular. Ionic has a lot of interactive UI elements that come with it, like side menus, gesture support, tab bars, nav bars, etc: http://ionicframework.com/docs/angularjs/
Yes I think a $100 investment to build a consumer product is not high on anyones radar. I think that will buy 1 hour of an engineers time.
Might note this was "whipped this up in a few hours". I suspect this is just an experiment. But I think this might evolve into something serious, lots of interest was expressed in /r/haskell.

On a serious side note, it doesn't need pipes since the shell utilities are wrapped as function which are composable in Haskell.
It's a combination of that and the overuse of drop shadows, which give it the "I just discovered Photoshop" look.
Thanks a lot for the feedback

1,2) Agree. I just wanted to get something out of the door :)
3) I didn't think of it that way. Will update it.
4) You can set the dashboard to auto refresh. The button seemed redundant as people are so used to hitting f5 or refresh icon on their browsers
5) Working on it
6) Yes. You download a local agent to your laptop. It can connect to your local databases. No need to enable remote access.

Jquery-UI for drag & drop. D3 for visualizations.
What I conclude from this is you don't know what a proper noun is in English and you are offended at conclusions drawn from my experience in Sweden, which are of course anecdotal and therefor not applicable to everyone in Sweden, why would you assume I was asserting the opposite?

I guess you didn't do much searching if you couldn't find this study[1] from Lund University or this study[2] from Gothenburg University.

From your sophmoric questioning and pedantic ramblings it seems your mind was made up before you even heard the answer.

Well to be fair I wasn't trying to have a conversation with you, and again, to be fair, you didn't do anything to add something to the general conversation besides your mild nationalism. Classy.

If you don't mind having to get an inner ear mold made and spending ~$700 the Sensaphonics 2X-S are awesome. Since they are molded to your inner ear they block out near 100% of sound without using audio noise reduction. The sound quality is pretty top notch as well, their usual purpose is as in ear monitors for musicians on stage.

That's nice and all, but do you think those evil corrupt shitbag sociopaths will change their behaviour because of that?

Rob, I think your idea (your book) is really innovative. Many people don't realize what they can do with what is available to them. It is a long time I am using PHP for text processing, e.g reverse engineering on embedded systems, impact analysis on requirements, collecting information from web, etc. I have rebuilt the architecture of many legacy systems for refactoring

I believe, given your situation (being a dad), you should continue to introduce innovative applications of available technologies in the form of books, and perhaps video tutorials. Though, this may end up to consulting.

And, don't forget, things don't work in passive mode. You always need to do some light marketing. Even, it you want just to publish blogs. Good luck.
Modern browsers don't support UTF-7 any more after a number of XSS attacks relying on inserting UTF-7 encoded script elements which then cause the document to be sniffed as UTF-7.

The only place UTF-7 is still widely used is in email clients.
I use it for server-side sessions. Fits that use case well, especially on the performance side.

According to data from five western countries, increased consumption of linoleic acid from vegetable oils is correlated with increased violence.[0] That's a great first step in proving that too many veggies are linked to mass shootings.

“If you believe that you have never tried to teach a class of non-programmers.”

No, you’re trying to teach them with the same kind of tool that I call ‘clumsy and unsophisticated’ in the article.

“Apple have made a lot of efforts to bring programming to the common user: Hypercard, Applescript, Automator. They are abandoned because no-one was interested in using them.”

In many ways HyperCard was still too difficult, but it was a great tool. Many people did use it to make simple programs, and some became programmers from it. I’m not arguing that everyone should learn to program to the level of being able to create and sell apps; HyperCard is a good example in that sense.

AppleScript is a failure because it’s a terribly difficult language even for most working programmers. Its designers completely failed in that respect.

Automator is not programming.
I would highly recommend that instead of making this a web app, you turn it into a theme of some sort. Most people will not want ANOTHER profile on ANOTHER domain. But, many people do still want to have their own domain.

Make it easy for me to direct my dns at you, and then it makes more sense for me as a user.
It's a bug in the UTF-7 decoder that yields an invalid codepoint (outwith of the Unicode codespace) and isn't checked anywhere.

>force multiplier as a Lead

I'm glad he mentions this because it's what most people don't understand about management and their paychecks.

People who gripe about CEO pay don't understand that they're really paid based on their value to the company. Being the top, a good CEO's force multiplier is huge, even at mid-size companies. Same thing with the best athletes and actors. They're worth the money because they make everyone around them better and draw more external interest.

If the thermister circuit is installed they'll be dimmer. Either way, the customer is still disappointed. Shorter life or dimmer bulb, depends which the customer is more concerned about. Adding the circuit changes nothing.
Actually, no. That's a winamp-like skin with some random audio player. I doubt that skin is in javascript and the player is generic something. Nothing like winamp at all. Audio visualizations in javascript would be a betetr title.
I'm honestly not sure which word to be using, hybrid or native? I don't like hybrid because once the app is shipped, it's a native app and the user hopefully won't care or know which is which. Just because it's using one level higher of abstraction (i.e. only the web view for now), doesn't mean it's not a native app.

I can't say for other people but I can assure you my comment wasn't meant to say that they were stupid. They are like 15 years behind us in term of computer science. 15 years ago, I bet many services had javascript security like this one. The outcome is the only thing that might be different. Anyhow, I enjoyed this discussion ;)

Consumers need to be educated, too. Anyone using an A19 in a can-style fixture is wasting energy by lighting things they don't need lit. Use something directional like a PAR or a BR, and you can reduce the amount of wattage consumed to light a given area.

Further, LED manufacturers design their directional lamps with these applications in mind. See the spiral pattern [1] on the heat sink around Lighting Science PAR bulbs? That's designed to use the thermal differential to create a nice air flow up into the fixture so that it may be used in a recessed or other partially-enclosed fixture.

And more problematically, heat severely degrades them (an incandescent bulb will also get extremely hot — as everybody who tried changing a just-blown bulb will know — but for the most part the heat will not significantly degrade it and lower its life expectancy)
Just because it's open-source doesn't mean everyone has the skills and domain knowledge to contribute, I sure has hell couldn't. Otherwise I agree with your comment.

>bureaucratic loophole allowing them to make their standards into de facto-law while avoiding that those standards then become part of the public domain

I get this kind of doublespeak a lot in Germany.

For example, if a police officer suspects you of drunk driving, you are not required by law to take a breath test. You are required to take a blood test back at the station. The breath test is considered voluntary.

Then there is the public health system. Insurance companies are not really part of the government, so you can't vote them out of office. But somehow they are still have a mandate to issue legally binding orders of seizure if you happen to disagree with the math in their invoices. They also act as their own oversight department. You are mandated to do business with at least one of them.

Also, traffic tickets are not fines. They are just a voluntary payment to convince the city not to issue you a real fine, which is about 10x higher. Of course, you can't contest it, because you agreed to it.

Guess DIN is just another wagon in the gravy train...
I hope this only applies to the Gentec seed; in a way this is understandable, but unsustainable.

Seeds (nature) are made/evolved to prosper and re-grow, making claims to some-one for doing this with a modified version of this product of nature is kind of un-ethical.

The seed is a derivative of nature, and imho cannot be patented.
