Seriously? They used the Doge meme?

Why would you do that?

This is why we can't have nice things.
It's worth noting that "passed-down derivatives" can be worse or better than the original. Most-to-all of these positions were developed by serious thinkers but weren't handed down from a source of Truth on high.
Why would that be any better? The only thing the page displaying in any browser needs to be aware of is how big the viewing window is, and the DPI. With those two pieces of information, you can have anything that runs in a browser present a useful interface.

That way content can handle all the edge cases that different screens can throw at them. And different browsers can handle things like text sizes the way they want to.

You don't want to have to make individual websites cater to individual screens or browsers. There's just too many of both. The interface between them needs to be a loose coupling.
This is a really lousy way of advertising your project. If you're the author of this article, karma-- bro. Picking a few words to associate with a project/product/company/enterprise/whatever SEO buzzword you pick doesn't magically pull $300 or more out of your bank account unless you are paying someone else $300/user/month or more to pick out adwords -- in which case, why the hell are you paying for it yourself?

Does it really cost $300 a month, in any case? I have a hard time imagining that your company is losing ~$3600 on average per customer a year just for assigning keywords to their $SEO_PHRASE. This is not an informative article. It doesn't make anyone's life better. You're just inflating the value of your unnecessary service and trying to make like you're doing a huge service for everyone, when you're not.

Someone at your company should probably be thinking about Prezi's reputation. That person should probably have a discussion with whomever is running the bounty program.
Maybe replace the cable? I had a monitor that did the same thing over DVI, blanking out every few minutes. Replaced the cheap pack-in DVI cable with a better one and then it was fine.
I did look at lists.js and actually started my project with it. It seemed the best at the time. However, I soon realized the filtering capabilities were limited (eg running multiple filters at the same time). I can't remember some other challenges I had at the time.

Also, datatables has a large user base which means you can find many examples of it on stackoverflow or other such sites. Lists.js on the other hand has limited examples on their site and even fewer in the wild.

I'm not an everyday programmer and needed all the help I could get. Also, considering I'm not a developer, I found datatables quite easy to use.

I saw one post of his in this thread. It was [dead] and I assumed it was because it was completely off-topic and self-serving. There was no tie-in to this article except the idea of a 'snake on an island'. I didn't flag it but I can see how some people might do so. Is that why? No clue! Just offering what I saw.

So, why do you think he went with Dart? You're kind of telling us that what he chose didn't matter, but he must have had his reasons for jumping into a new technology.

We probably can't infer much from Notch's use of Dart beyond the fact that the technology is baked enough for real world use. I guess someone could always ask Notch for his opinion on Dart, after he's used it for a few more weeks.

You seem to be suggesting that professional coders don't use open source tools or that open source tools aren't professional?
They absolutely are. But in normal conversation when you speak to people about this, they'll most probably say "Wow, that's pretty smart man, I wouldn't have thought of using a pipe as a sound carrier" (or something like that).
Fuck the bounty, just give the guy 1k reward to save your ass from an epic fail!
Thanks for the replies guys, one additional question I had which I didn't see directly answered would be the type of browsers it should be compatible with or was tested on? The main page shows some browsers listed but I think that was simply demonstration data to show off the script and wasn't actually showing the versions it was supposed to support.
I just got the Seiki 39" as well. It works great for coding and browsing the web. Even watching movies. However the color fidelity is absolutely crap. Everything looks oversaturated and blown out. I have an apple cinema I switch to whenever I want to do any of my photography stuff. The 30fps is noticeable but it doesn't feel encumbering. But I'm not doing any arcade style gaming.

32" and definitely 24" would be too small for me to read the text. I'd have to hunch forward or blow the font up to read things. I already have that problem on my retina MBP.
In addition, organizing our spaces and our lives such that trips are shorter and/or less frequent.
Bug bounties have a purpose and it is not to generate press or to be an equality outreach program. It is to find bugs.

If the rules are getting in the way of what the organisation is actually trying to use those rules for, then to be a stickler for rules is nuts when the same organisation wrote the rules in the first place and can change them at will.

edit - and if it is neccessary due to corporate legal waffle to always be a stickler for rules, then make a rule that details the protocol for exceptions.
Intel Acquires Hacker League
I've used meteor for several projects, and I have found it to be great for developing quickly, but it does have all these scaling issues that are usually fixed via 'unofficial hacks'. I can't wait until V 1.0 is out. I hope it comes with all the promised scaling tools.

Here's a 'very beta' analytics tool I've been working on that uses Meteor and MongoDB:

>HTML5 does not have DRM

Yet.

From the 14 Nov 2013 draft:

>This proposal extends HTMLMediaElement providing APIs to control playback of protected content.

In other words, they're extending HTMLMediaElement to allow Hollywood to put whatever DRM measures in place that they choose. What this WILL NOT do is increase accessibility. Maybe Tim thought it was a good idea, but the old adage is that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.

The copyright industry are not the good guys, and they will find some way, just as they always have, to make the user experience worse in the interests of their bottom line(s). But who knows? Maybe I'm wrong, or maybe you just have more faith in the industry that was shipping malicious rootkits on music CDs than I do.
"Why can't zero tolerance use less drastic punishments?"

You seem not to have read my post. The reason it exists is to allow the arbitrary destruction of kids lives, preferentially as a weapon against minorities, undesirables, the poor, often all of the above. You're treating the primary purpose of that feature as if its a bug. Like asking why the "rm" command takes the drastic effect of deleting files.

For example, one reason why it might exist is so if a teacher gets called a bitch, the cops would laugh at a teacher who tried to report that as assault, but if the teacher can label a girl as a drug dealer and get her expelled and prevent her from graduating or getting on the middle class treadmill in general, because of the girl's monthly cycle and some advil in her purse, well, we'll see who's the dominant primate and who gets the last laugh in that argument. Its NOT a bug its an intentionally inhumane feature, correctly implemented.

Its possible to do a really efficient and effective job of being evil. I don't really know how to rephrase it more clearly? Its like the anti-google motto or something?
I've just gotten started, but I'm going to gather solutions to the problems of projecteuler on github. Everyone should feel free to pitch in ones the format to submit on is established. Basically, you will be able to browse the solutions at http://projecteuler.github.io/ by language.
'Nazi Shazam': Police Devise App to Curb Far-Right Music
So do you think they're not trying? Or it's just really difficult because of Apple's operations efficiencies? It seems like they could make up for Apple's hardware lead (cornered market on flash, vertical integration) by starting with Android and winning on software development time but maybe iOS is mature enough now that the cost to continue building it out is the same as the cost to repackage Android.
Hm, all the outlets in my kitchen are below the upper cabinets, so there's no room to fit a phone, and especially not a tablet, on top.

Ugh, I hate that effect. The frame rate dynamically changes based on when the algorithm can find frames to interpolate. It's so disorienting.
Have F1 cars been remotely close to something that normal people could relate to since the 60s?

Are you sure its just them trying to make F1 green? The cost standpoint helps keep large companies involved and aids smaller companies so they are competitive. The power limitations I believe have always been tied to price and safety. I doubt they were trying to appear "green" when they banned turbos in 89.
You can remotely debug a Safari session on a device - but it has to be through desktop Safari. It's in the Develop menu.
Yep, as Arunoda says I'm actively working on it right now, currently hoping for an initial release this month.

I really appreciate the work Arunoda has done on smart collections; my implementation and his package have both learned from each other. That said, there are a number of subtle race conditions involved in synchronizing queries between the oplog and the main database, and working out all the little details as carefully as possible has taken time!
> 50 bytes may not seem like a lot, but when you’re serving 500 million pageviews per month, it adds up.

This is rubbish. What matters is how many packets of data go through the network. It is packets which are the unit of transfer and which are handled by intermediate nodes. The difference between say 2340 and 2290 bytes is of no material consequence whatsoever, it may cause one less packet to be sent but probably won't. To think it does have a consequence is to demonstrate a complete lack of understanding of what happens in the network and in endpoints. None of these '50 byte savings' accumulate anywhere in any meaningful or measurable sense whatsoever. So no, it doesn't "add up" to anything.

And if you're going to downvote me explain why I am wrong and how the benefit of these mythical 'savings' can be demonstrated.

I just recently emailed someone telling them they'd been hellbanned when they had done nothing apparent that deserved it, and continued to post for months.

Hellbanning is definitely something I really dislike about this website. I can't imagine submitting and commenting for months only to find out I was wasting my time.

60 Days of Lean Product Hustle
The "sorting" aspect of it is wrong, 2.44% is greater than 1.03% but shows up last: http://i.imgur.com/0qmIk3s.png

EDIT: I took a look at the source. There's an extra "data-" field to use as the value to sort with which is hard coded to "0" for the 2.44% row. This also answers my question of how it was sorting the textual date fields properly (each has the year in that data- field).
NeuroOn Launches On Kickstarter, Promises To Let You Sleep Like Da Vinci
I don't know why the blog poster is impressed. This is Notch's domain, writing code of this ilk. He's probably got over a decade or more dealing with games and graphics, the hard part is dealing with a API that's unfamiliar.

(I have ported familiar code from a Python script to a C# desktop application in similar time, the hard part was dealing with various .NET quirks.)
I say release the code in the wild!

You should stop talking and you were smart to delete that other comment.

I was wondering about what truly happened but now I get the impression that Prezi is officious and bureaucratic and I wonder what kind of customer support such an organization would offer:

"Our Terms of Service say we are not responsible for your lost data. Have a nice day and here's a T-Shirt."
With Bundler, you have a single copy of each (version of each) library installed, and Bundler decides at runtime which to make visible (which is trivial with Gemfile.lock, since all of the interesting logic is done when creating that). This decision is a global one, so if you depend on two libraries that themselves depend on libfoo, both of those libraries have to use the same libfoo, and there's no difference between having a direct dependency on libfoo and depending on a library that depends on libfoo.

With npm, each library has its own set of dependencies (and those libraries have their own sets of dependencies, and so on) that are entirely separate. Thus, if you depend on two libraries that use libfoo, those two libraries have their own copies of libfoo - and those two copies can be different versions, if needed (and if libfoo depends on libbar, you'll have two copies of that too). This makes the presence of dependencies much less leaky and eliminates most problems with incompatible gem versions at the cost of wasted disk space, (usually trivially) increased memory usage and some potential confusion. It also happens to make npm pretty mind-numbingly simple compared to bundler's dependency resolution logic.
Can Microsoft survive the coming PC apocalypse?
You're probably right about polyphasic sleep. Biphasic sleep is worth considering, however, either in the flavor of daily naps, or simply getting up for an hour or so in the middle of the night. There is some evidence for the notion that this was the norm before artificial light: http://www.history.vt.edu/Ekirch/sleepcommentary.html
User stylesheets will always suck, because the pages you're depending on for your stylesheets to work is a concretion, not an abstraction. You're just going to have constant problems with the user CSS conflicting with the creator's styling.

The right way to do this would involve an evolution in the community where you could easily get the content you need in JSON format or similar. Then you can create your own presentation, or, more likely, subscribe to a site/service that collects user-created presenters.
Well, this social engineering is what got kevin mitnick in jail
Well, I've studied under a pupil of Grothendieck, so, yes inaccessible cardinals are at the heart of his category theory. When you study this long enough, you will discover they essentially perform the function of what in computer science is the class concept (which why these structures were called 'universes'). But Russell already developed a type theory around 1900. Most mathematicians have never cared to really study Gödel for instance. Because you then would have to read Russell's principia mathematica and Frege's concept script.
I think his post in this thread is fairly informative. I didn't realise snakes could cause that much damage to a holiday paradise by eating the birds that eat the spiders.
And just to showcase an example, from one of the Brin G+ threads I mentioned earlier:

https://plus.google.com/116665417191671711571/posts/1dqQKTz8...

Three points in particular to call out:

1. Brin is absolutely correct in noting that Libertarians don't read or understand Smith (neither do most economists, but that's another story, see Gavin Kennedy for detailed scholarship on the "invisible hand").

2. Theodore Minick exhibits a very frequently encountered tactic of redefining well-defined terms to suit his argument (and failing to provide those definitons). When I pull out a half dozen or so dictionary definitions that discredit his use, his response is "the accepted definition also conflates 'market' and 'marketplace'". Sorry, but if you can't agree on base facts, you've got no grounds for discussion. You've just got a Lewis Carroll "glory".

3. Another respondent claims that Reason.org references Smith often. So I search for references ... and find that most are blithe (and inaccurate based on scholarship) references to the "invisible hand" and little else. Which is to say: the leading Libertarian publication similarly gets its facts and relevance almost entirely wrong.

And as I said: the experience is far too frequently repeated. Any respect I had has long since been extinguished.
Java VS Objective-C
I've been to Guam a few times, most recently this summer. I spent some time visiting the historical places as well as hiking and snorkeling.

It always is a bit sobering to realize how war-ridden the history of the island is and the effects of it. And then add in the brown tree snake problem... Just hiking without hearing a single bird is a new experience.
I thought it was pretty clear :-)
Anyone else notice that "Adam <Redacted>"'s full name and contact info are not redacted in the screen print of the email?
This would be unethical and I would never do it, but the interesting scenario would have been if he'd secretly pulled the source code and used his access to it to find a bunch more bugs. He would look like a genius and pocket a bunch more money.
Marc Ambinder's "How I figured out that Lee Harvey Oswald killed JFK" (http://theweek.com/article/index/253249/my-journey-to-unbeli...) is worth a read as well.
I use Visual Studio and IntelliJ IDEA for C# and Java development, respectively. I cannot fathom a scenario in which I would need an IDE for web development. Perhaps heavy PHP development would benefit from JetBrains PhpStorm IDE, a free version of which is available for open source projects.
Ridiculous post. OP has options other than marriage.

Not at all. What I am saying is that it clearly doesn't matter. Some people are productive in vim. Some people are productive in eclipse and java (even though they are incredibly un-hip and won't score you any points at conferences (with your dell laptop running windows!). But like the article says really productive people tend to be focused on the product.
I love Spotify. It actually revived my joy in doing anything really. I've kind of grown bored of life, of coding, of anything. Music is the one thing that I am and will always remain passionate about.

I'm Canadian, so getting Spotify running on all my mobile devices and my mac was tricky, especially with Premium, but I got it done.

The ability to support artists, while discovering new ones, and not acquiring the material illegally is crazy awesome. I am discovering new artists day in and day out and it keeps life very exciting for me personally. I even got back into coding.
a large number of apartments/condos do not have an outside stoop. Which makes this whole drone thing a bit impractical. UPS already has enough trouble opening a lobby door or getting past a security gate.

The only practical thing I see happening is scheduled deliveries within a certain 15-30min window and having the drone text you when the package is there so you can physically go and retrieve it out on the street/sidewalk.

Of course, the problem then becomes having a drone hovering and waiting while the person comes outside. And obviously that will cut into the profit of the delivery service, as you have a drone waiting on people to get out of the shower and stupid things like that.
Well that sucks... So I deleted my post. But why was I banned? Just wondering...

My first thought was "mobile video platform" though I found that hard to reconcile with the apparent focus on advertising.

Digging through links on the site suggests "minimum viable product". That term isn't among the top definitions listed in acronym dictionaries, though having had my memory prodded, I've seen it before on HN.

Articles which can't be arsed to define their acronyms draw flags from me.
This is what most hackers want:

- residence in the USA;

- working for a small salary to cover expenses,

- but with strong guarantees of equity (ownership or something like it)

US immigration law is designed to stop all of this. Because for most other cases, that would mask shenanigans like a foreign worker undercutting a US competitor, or even a foreign worker being exploited.

Bottom line, you may be able to hack this, but in doing so you will probably give someone else a lot of power over you. Even if you succeed, someone else may have the ability to extract a lot of that wealth you worked for.

I happen to be Canadian, so living in my own country is not such a hardship and I still have access to US investors.

This might be a thread derail, but how many people here would consider residing in Canada as an alternative? The country is much more friendly to immigration, and if you live in Vancouver, you're just a few hours from SFO or Seattle by air. Some Silicon Valley companies are starting up divisions in Vancouver for that reason. But maybe there could be a "Vancouver hacker house" doing the same thing for foreign entrepreneurs and startups.
It does seem like the drop out rate (and debt associated with non-degrees) is high enough that the current model isn't working. My concern is that replacing it with less education hurts more. The Vocational Education trend seems like it's on the right track. It would also be good to copy the German apprenticeship model.
