1.22% of measured internet users use IE7.

The percentage of their customers that use IE7 could be very different.
Have just been talking with him. He first asked Twitter for it back on the 20th of Jan. 8 days ago.
Payment channel option is one reason. Linode/DigitalOcean for example are not available in India, due to restrictions on Debit Cards of Indian users. Credit cards are very uncommon here, compared to Debit Cards.

Btw, I personally use Bigrock instead. They have a very a good customer support.

The language that you're using (weak, joke, etc) gives the impression that you aren't really evaluating from a rational perspective, but instead have chosen a side.

Why? What's the point of doing that?

Though it is an interesting segue from this article about AMD supporting ARM chips (one of the biggest problems facing data centers is power density and with that heat removal) -- the PS4 has a total power consumption of 137W. That's the eight cores, GPU, 8GB of DDR5, blu-ray player...the entirety of the box consumes 137W.

The nvidia GTX770, undoubtedly a higher performance card, not only costs almost as much as a PS4, alone it consumes significantly more power than the PS4. That's excluding the rest of the box around it. That just isn't tenable for a living room gaming machine, which is exactly why consoles represent a necessary compromise. Similarly, several of the most interesting Steam boxes have GPUs significantly less powerful than the PS4's 7870, because you just can't drop a 450W device in the living room and call it a day.
I accept that many people, despite a longstanding superficial familiarity with RMS and his work, are nevertheless cretinous ingrates who don't understand the first thing about software freedom or RMS's role in preserving same.

"His motives"? Really? What are you thinking here? Fame? Fortune? Pull the other one.
Nope, it has plenty of subtle features that I prefer and the more I use it, the more I grow attached to it. I think it is a great product because it holds true to its promise of helping users focus on expressing their ideas.
Resources are not fixed. Our planet, our solar system, and our universe are awash in resources. The question is, how much does it cost to extract them, compared to their value once extracted? As technology advances and human ingenuity finds new ways to do things, more and more resources become available at a cost less than their value. That's been happening all through human history, and continues to happen now. Even if particular resources (e.g., oil) turn out to be finite, we find substitutes (e.g., nuclear, solar, or even oil from algae), so that in a practical sense we never run out.
So are you arguing that having less luxury than others (but still luxury) causes people psychological pain, so society should give everyone everything they want? I don't think even the most hardcore communists ever asked for that.

I am working on my own startup. The basic idea is to connect travelers in nice bars in differents cities. Own early adopters are travelers. That is clear.

I have this question: have I start with a lot of cities? Or just focus in the most touristic cities in the world (like the top 20)?

Both have their pros and cons.

## Focus on a lot of cities

Main advantage: all the users can use the site.
Main disadvantage: users are widely dispersed.

## Focus on 20 cities

Main advantage: users are not widely dispersed.
Main disadvantage: not all users can use the site.

What do you think about?

I felt very angry and uncomfortable reading that. I can't imagine being in a helpless position like that.
I know this is just accounting inflation, but from a collectors stand point...if you had $1.50 from that era, it would be worth waaaaaay more than $37.70 :)
ummm... Didn't we invented a marvelous escape hatch called "aqui-hires" exactly for this situations? If you have even moderately connected investors, you should be able to get aqui-hired in a week or two, very likely sipping pina colada on a Caribbean beach to stretch out before you start the new job with giant bonus vesting schedule that beats any of your colleges. Plus you get to update your Linked-In profiles with "CEO & Founder of Fantastic Startup (Acquired by whatever)". There are no loosers in startup world anymore, AFAIK.
Yes, except that I think production services are more likely to migrate to a thin containerized layer directly over a hypervisor something like what Docker/LXC provide in UNIX. We already have JVM and Erlang VM and even LISP implementations that bypass the OS and I think there will be even more of that type of thing.

UNIX is still a very useful OS for general use and for developers so I don't see it going away for a century or two.
Another reason to use Bitcoin. No credit card number to give away to the attacker and identity can be verified by signing a message with a private key instead of guessing at personal information.
pretty freaky stuff. Also, what was the attacker so interested in the @N for anyways? future investment in case some big company/celeb comes along wanting the username? Seems so crazy to go after it...... if Twitter can't sort this out, can't we all just shame the acct into inactivity...
Is squatting on it worth all this Mitnick-attack-work?
That's why a major focus of JMAP is to be able to be put in front of an IMAP server with a proxy (and it takes advantage of CONDSTORE if present - we built from an IMAP base)

Honestly, if it's not significantly nicer to work with than IMAP, it won't see traction, and that's fine.

Mind you - MOVE took bloody long enough in IMAP, I was arguing for it for years before it finally got support behind it. There's still not much support for SUBMIT via IMAP though, which means multiple connections via different protocols to do basic emailing, with all the support fun that entails.

Anyway - worst case, we still have a better protocol for our own stuff, and that's not nothing.
I'm not entirely sure of a concrete alternative pattern MVC for the web. I like the style of independent modules that frameworks like web.py provide, but that's not a unified pattern.

Pretty much all web design patterns are based on models and views, including MVC, HMVC, MVP, MVVM and so forth. Perhaps more of the latter two would be welcome, especially MVP.

Decentralized modules can still be quite useful for small apps. I don't think the hassle of forcing rigorous design patterns is necessary there.
I did a job recently where a legacy site needed to be upgraded to support mobile and tablets. After all the work was done I was informed that the site didn't work in ie6 (the default browser on their work machines) [1]

Luckily firefox was installed on their machines as well.

There was no way I was going back to fix it for ie6 on the budget I was allocated.

[1]: This constraint was never mentioned in initial talks. Fortunately it wasn't a massive deal in the end.
That's just their own pseudocode language
Unlike some of the hack nights some groups hold, this event is meant to be completely social. Sometimes I'll see someone sharing a website or picture on their phone/tablet/laptop but only rarely.

I hope to see you there!
IE8 and older also have things like HTML+TIME which is used in at least one real world exploit, to name just one thing.
If you want to eat anything that has even a modicum of nutritional value, minimum wage won't get you much.

Sure it will; it just won't get you much in the way of enjoyable food. People mostly don't like living on beans and lentils; but you can get sufficient essential nutrients from unappetizing foods like that for a few dollars a day.

Please note that I am not saying anyone should have to live on beans and lentils; I'd be no good at it myself. But we should be clear that the problem is not "getting enough to eat"; the problem is "getting enough to eat with some kind of decent quality of life".

So who are you planning on suing? PayPal, godaddy, twitter, or all three?
Generally, you'll end up connected to similar guys in your field after you've been running a startup for a while. You can reach out to them and say that you're offering XYZ consulting services in an effort to pseudo-bootstrap your company while still working on improving traction for your company. Most business people will actually really respect that, in fact.

It really depends on how well you've networked though. At the very least, you can start picking up random gigs on Craigslist or even contract work if you have any technical skills to at least keep money coming in in the short term so you can afford some breathing room.
Is there a list of those somewhere? I've spent far too much time typing colon followed by random characters just to explore the many options.
I can't read this without thinking that the author isn't paying attention to the rest of the PHP community. Every point on the checklist is what composer was built to solve and it can be used without any framework.

I don't really like composer so I wrote my own package manager[1], but you could just as easily use composer with the cut down "framework" that RocketSled became if you preferred it. And yes, composer (and RocketPack) can be used without a framework. That's sort of the point: PHP doesn't need a "framework" as such, just various tools of choice (like composer if that's your bag).

in terms of package creation, PSR-4 allows the author of a package to define their own directory structure and inform the autoloader what that structure is

Actually, PHP allows you to do that with spl_autoload_register.

I find the "PSR-*" conversations to be pretty pointless and not very interesting. I have a basic autoloader that I wrote and I'm happy with ... BUT in PHP anyone can use any autoloading implementation that they like very simply. There doesn't need to be a standard way of doing things, so long as you provide me with something like a "bootstrap" or autoloader file that I can include in my project and have everything "Just Work(TM)".

The only time it becomes a challenge is if you're working within a framework which dictates your directory structure and/or the main entry point of the application. If I'm just creating my own index.php I can include whatever packages, autoloaders, whatever very simply.

You're lucky. One of our largest corporate customers upgraded to Win 7 and then DOWNGRADED to IE 8.
Darkfall Online and Mortal Online are two that were released in the past few years. Both have been plagued by poor development and serious bugs, especially the latter. However, when played with a group of people you trust and like, both can be extremely fun.

Just to clear up your confusion guys.

Their clients are, as far as I can tell, the hospitals posting the jobs. Other users are mostly accessing the site on home computers, where they can almost certainly install some other browser which isn't as broken.

While in general a hospital may not have computers for this, their hiring manager is likely to be able to take an extra machine onto the network.
Do they have to be on separate accounts? (i.e. would you be paying 3 monthly subs?)
Yeah, I wasn't clear, sorry, lack of sleep. It's usually .htaccess that either serves the static file or routes requests which don't hit a resource into index.php... but to me, that process, including .htaccess and an index file, would have to be an integral part of the framework.
To offer a counterpoint: I have not noticed this. I visit HN daily, and very frequently skim through all the titles (but don't click through each and every article).

So, at least on this end, from sunny Southern California: no, it's not the new ivory tower.
It was purposeful to give that many examples. Just because there are that many I can think of... compare that to just how many tech companies there are. And consider that Uber and Airbnb aren't even tech companies.
Thank you for doing this test. I've contacted XFSmail about this. Hopefually they can fix this issues.

What speed and ease to you gain with it? CoffeeScript won't get you any performance; if any, less. Making obscure or verbose patterns easier to use is syntactic sugar. Part of the thing about CoffeeScript, is that there are more bad parts that it introduces than prevents. Cleaning up the class model is generally not a good thing, since JavaScript isn't designed to have true OOP principles. Things like it's expressive for loops and default arguments generate really ugly code, and shun people from using ES5 array methods like .forEach, .map, and .filter, which are a lot cleaner and more optimizable by the engine. If you're ever trying to check the existence of a variable, then you've already probably made a bad design choice; but you won't realize it because CoffeeScript encourages the pattern. Also, CoffeeScript will completely obscure the way JavaScript works to newcomers, and will confuse them and encourage them to use the syntactic sugars in place. The syntactic shortcuts were originally there to make it easier for those who really needed to use the nasty things to achieve it. Now, a CS user would use them because they're there. If you teach a ruby programmer CoffeeScript in order to introduce them to JavaScript, they're not going to be able to know the differences well enough to appreciate and understand them.
I can concur with their shitty support. I guess iOS 7 autoupdated my Vine app and somehow logged me out. I tried password resetting every email I could think of, I tried to connect via my social network. No dice. My account couldn't be found. I email their support team with my username asking them if they could provide me with my email, do a forgot password to the email. I even linked them to a few direct vines I had created and saved the URL to. Their response was unless I could provide them with the Vine ID number of my user account they could not locate my account.

Seems I emailed them back and forth six times and I kept getting this canned message from them. Needless to say, I've given up and deleted Vine from my phone.

"Unfortunately, we are unable to locate the Vine account in question. If you can still log in to your Vine account, go to your profile settings and select either "Invite via text" or "Invite via email." From there you will see your Vine account ID number. Can you reply to this message with the Vine ID number?

If you no longer have access to this account, but can see the account in Vine search, press the more icon (three dots) on the top right of the profile. After that, tap on "Share this profile" and from there you will see your Vine account ID number."
He could afford to hire 100,000 minimum wage employees for life.

But he doesn't, does he? In other words, Bill Gates is not using his wealth very efficiently; it would be more efficiently used if it were spread around. It's not his fault, exactly: no single person can be expected to make efficient use of $30 billion, or whatever his current net worth is. But the fact remains that it seems likely that there is some maximum level of wealth that a single person can make reasonably efficient use of, simply because a single person doesn't scale. If that's true, then that's an argument for altering the rules of private property if a single person accumulates wealth above that level.

As for incentives, I find it very difficult to believe that if, for example, we set a threshold net worth of $100 million and said that anything above that gets taxed away (of course it would be more complicated than that in practice, but let's keep it simple for this discussion), Bill Gates wouldn't have started Microsoft because, oh, well, he's only going to get $100 million from it.

So Amazon's model is to make money from the subscription service...hopefully that's a typo at $79/month.

I think Amazon can be successful in the gaming industry, given the fact of their customer base, model of free to play, but I think the gold in this plan is the internal game dev teams.

I'd be very curious to see if they will allow indie devs.

Hacking (via social engineering) your GoDaddy account would be easier, IMO. And that looks like what's happened here?
Yeah, I never said anything like what you are ascribing to me. That's all in your interpretation. Heartless? I didn't say that, YOU did.

I grew up in a rural household. We never once hired anyone to do any of the things you mentioned, by the way. We did them ourselves. The cultural difference is there, and your weak attempt to draw parallels is absurd.
You could save yourself money and time and just Photoshop yourself a "Best programmer in $COUNTRY" certificate if you really wanted to look good to people who don't know what constitutes a meaningful certification.

Yes, there's a finite supply of land, but much of it is not currently being used for either housing (or more generally, housing, offices, factories, and all the infrastructure that goes with them, such as roads) or agriculture. In fact, IIRC, the fraction of land on the Earth that is used for all such purposes has been decreasing in recent years.
The other option is they are elderly or just don't care. They have that E-Machines Pentium 3 future proof 256MB of RAM Windows98 computer and they'll use it until they die, because shouldn't everything that costs over $1,000 dollars last for 20-30 years?
Ya, the fact that he tweeted a grand total of twice in 2013 (see https://twitter.com/N_is_stolen) makes me have a little less sympathy.

Twitter added two-factor authentication back in May. If you're constantly being attacked that you ignore important emails, at least add phone authentication.

Ah yes, if you aren't working a job that is directly helping the poor and/or wounded, fuck you for being a leech right? People lives and humanitarian efforts are solely measured in how many sick people you can save today right?

How can you be so short sighted to believe that unless you are working on a cure to cancer, that all your efforts on this planet are for naught. Does this mean if I am able bodied and finically stable, any service that benefits me and my 70 or so years on this planet are "a waste of time?" A guess every and all artists should kill themselves for not being good enough for becoming doctors right? Art never changed the world and those smug artists shouldn't believe that their paintings actually mean anything.

Someone should have told Gates back in 1975 to give up because building a better BASIC interpreter would never change the world.

Facebook Reading Android Users’ Texts? Well, Hold On
That's the thing, though - I don't think that the HN "community" has been predominantly startup founders for several years. That's what used to make it so great. I think I would describe the prevailing demographic now as refugees from other tech news aggregators, who have been immersed in just enough group-think, cargo-cult science and statistics to be profoundly annoying.
GoDaddy added two-factor authentication in December...Twitter almost a year ago, Facebook in 2011. Like I said, if he was under attack frequently that he just ignored security emails, you think turning on two-factor authentication would have been a pretty good idea on any one of those. He did none and wants to grab attention about a $50k twitter handle. This is what happens when you run with scissors.
I believe that it is ISO 9001 (quality assurance) that states that a company must be able to audit any stored data and data changes dating back some time. Judging by Paypal (specially for being a financial company), Twitter (for being an open capital company), and GoDaddy's size they may all comply to ISO 9001, but I'm just guessing.

Anyhow, if any of them actually comply to ISO 9001, it is possible to audit previous data to establish the true identity of the owner in some arbitrary date before any of this happened.

Quite possibly, to avoid unnecessary user annoyance, these companies will only subject themselves to the effort of analyzing that data under court order, so it's fair to suppose there is need to open a judicial process. Therefore, I believe it's possible to regain access to everything that was supposedly stolen, even though it may take quite some time.
