Hold up, the reason I don't chew with my mouth open is that people don't want to see my chewed up food (basically pre-vomit).

The reason why I do feel comfortable swearing is because people actually don't have their feelings damaged or hurt by it.

The reason I don't insult people is because people actually do have their feelings hurt by it.

The reason I don't use misogynistic or racist language (this notably includes a few choice "swear words") is because people actually do have their feelings hurt by it.

Three of these are rational taboos because people actually are bothered by them. The other is an irrational taboo, a relic that use to be rational but hasn't been for decades. Not using the word "fuck" is on the same level as wearing a tie to work, there is no remaining reason to do it outside of tradition. Not chewing with your mouth open, or not using misogynistic swear words, is more on the level of putting on underwear and pants before going to work. You do it for the benefit of others, not solely out of tradition.

Nice, this is very much a space about to get crazy. We started the process of keeping a journal of what we actually watch/use in our current satellite subscription and it was pretty revealing. Easily 80% of everything was available elsewhere in a more useful format.
That started off as a moderately interesting blog post, and...

"Conclusion

ended as a thinly disguised advertisement. I think I would have preferred some indication at the top of the page that the company was offering services related to the blog post.

This looks fantastic! I've been searching for this exact thing for the past month or so.
Do you want to learn some abstract math? Will you give me your opinion?
It's a recurring theme on HN that whenever some deep math turns up, a few people say they wish they knew more. Others say they wish they could read math, and still others ask how they can learn more.

I'm writing a bunch of stuff, but it's not necessarily aimed at the level HN readers would want. If you'd be willing to offer your thoughts, I'd be happy for you to read as much as you like, and let me know what's good, what's bad, and at what point you gave up.

Email me - address in the profile. I won't necessarily reply immediately as I'm often on the road or otherwise find it difficult to get to email, but I will reply.
Nah, Incompetent Politicians, Wallstreet/Banks are still public enemy No. 1. Perhaps people that live in the SV area who are not in the industry consider the tech industry an enemy because they have been priced outside of homes and are feeling left behind. Those outside of SV don't consider SV an enemy or even think about them.
Yes, but only if you already have the successful experience with, for example, sofas.
I'm confused. Are you proposing that web apps don't use URLs? If so, this seems pretty antithetical to the very nature of the web. One of the things that often aggravates people about web apps is that the back (and refresh) button is often broken because of a disregard for URLs. You can see Tom Dale give a defense of URLs here http://2013.jsconf.eu/speakers/tom-dale-stop-breaking-the-we....

As far as Ember Data goes, this is something that it's clear that a lot of people do indeed want. That said, you can use Ember perfectly well without Ember Data (see Discourse for example).

It's funny that you point to Rails as an example of consensus, because when you look at the server-side development community as a whole, there is certainly not consensus that the Rails way is correct. I wouldn't expect complete consensus on the client side any more than I would expect complete consensus on the server side. Rails (and others) have shown that you can have multiple healthy ecosystems each with their own points of consensus.
Which raises the question: Why is Williams taking outside capital at all?

Williams, in an interview earlier this week, cited a few reasons: As Medium scales, taking money from multiple investors is a signal of long-term thinking and diversification to the company’s employees; and the more parties that have a stake in Medium outside of Williams, the more they have a stake in the company’s success.

2-factor auth is great. The suggestion is that if you are only going to implement one factor, it should look more like the "traditional" second factor. Basically we should flip two-factor author on its head. A user-defined password should be the second factor, not the first as is currently assumed.

For me, and I think most people who get excited about it, performance isn't what attracts me to React. It is the semantics (is that even the right word?). The nice way it lets me think about things.

It looks to me like htmlbars is handlebars emitting DOM rather than string. In that case, I think it will be missing the benefits of React. Again, though, I obviously don't understand Ember well.
I use the Google Maps Javascript api for geolocation. It takes a string and returns an array of places that match. Each place object includes a formatted address which I put in the search bar in place of what was initially typed.

> char *stackString = "some literal";

Uh, in what way is that "entirely different" from the int declaration? In both cases, you're just copying a couple words from one place to another, which is what the = operator does. There's nothing "special" about that declaration; we're just writing a pointer into a variable on the stack.

My feeling is that you're uncomfortable with C's treatment of strings because you don't entirely understand the memory model.

It's great and congratulations for your accomplishment! 1 question though, are you planning to make money out of it? If so how? Because I too am a beginner developer, learnt and made a website all by myself www.gccfishing.com and I was looking for ideas on how to create income from it.
Not exactly.

Trivial usually denotes solutions that are obvious and not very interesting such as 0, 1 or the empty set. It's more of a property of the solution than the difficulty of the problem.

By extension sometimes you can say a proof is trivial, when it's very easy, but I think the primary use is the one I mentioned above.
I think some mathematicians would disagree with you here :-)
I've taken to using Draft for all my writing and then just export the post or whatever to submit it to my blog that's self-hosted on Wordpress.

From the article your "password" is a:

So, your session times out, log in again by requesting a new one-time-use token delivered over the channel of your choosing.

You get the idea...
This is essentially what Google and Facebook, and to some extent even Apple, are attempting to become: giant stores of user data that you auth against.

I'm surprised nobody has brought up that this was originally called GOAWAY in the spec, and that it was only renamed from GOAWAY to GTFO five days ago. It's not like it was always named GTFO or that people are remotely attached to it. In fact, people involved in the process (ie, the working group mailing list) only heard about it after it was renamed.

(I realise that's because this isn't a protocol-related issue, only a documentation one, but my argument is that there's no real impact in the change back.)
I knew Martin very well.

He was part of a design agency I build in 2005 with Morten Lund and a brilliant designer called Michael Nilsson.

He had built a site called Vacation Valley that we helped him redesign and after that we joined forces.

Together we where involved in a bunch of fun projects (among others zecco.com which was originally build out of Copenhagen Denmark by hello)

He was a young and very very smart guy and knew a lot of people and was a great thinker and yes SEO wiz.

Who knows what he could have been today. I often think about him.
The "joke" was that Haskell looks very different from most popular programming languages, and that folks who think it "looks cooler than Python" are likely reacting to its indecipherability combined with the fact that it's clearly doing something interesting.

At least Python programmers have a sense of humor.

I have definitely known people actually bothered by cursing, though I have every expectation they are not as prevalent as they once were. I don't know quite what the prevalence is, and I don't know what portion of people need to be bothered by something for it to effect your default behavior. Obviously, if you're in a group you know to have individuals (or not) that are offended any behavior and you wish to avoid (or not) offending those individuals, act accordingly.

It's interesting that they're using secp256k1 (as Bitcoin does) for performance reasons (regarding Bitcoin, Satoshi mentioned in early messages that he did choose EC because it would help keep the size of the blockchain not too big). I wonder if Bitcoin's use of EC is "giving a boost" to EC...

Anyway... TFA states this:

I've found this true in general - front end, back end, you name it.

Every time I've used multiple decoupled libraries instead of one large framework, things have gone fine. If a particular library isn't working out, I just swap it out for an alternative (or roll my own, if worst comes to worst) and continue building.

Every time I've used a large framework, I've ended up with major buyer's remorse. There's always at least one particular piece (like routing in your case) that's a bad fit, but everything is so tightly coupled, I can't just swap out the offending component without causing problems elsewhere...so I often end up accepting a bad fit.

For me, the productivity gains of big frameworks have always been outweighed by drawbacks as soon as I hit nonstandard use cases. I always find myself wishing I'd used multiple smaller, decoupled libraries instead.

> Perhaps I am not familiar enough with it.

No, you are not. Nothing further to say about it.

> I ask, what is its identity? Because historically it has close ties to Russia and a shared history with all Slavic people...

This is exactly the patronizing point of view that the Russians take of the Ukrainian identity: that it does not exist or that Ukraine is simply a part of Russia. This is exactly what the protesters are fighting. The fact that there are protesters on the streets right now is proof enough.

Moreover, any cultural identity does not exist in a vacuum. By your logic we can argue that the US has no identity of its own and is still just a breakaway British colony that is due to join the UK any day now. Just because one country invades another and subjugates its people for a period of time, does not make the occupied country a part of the occupying country. By that logic Poland has nearly as much claim on Ukraine as Russia does. Or, and I really like this one, Russia is just a part of Ukraine, and should immediately surrender all of its territories to Kiev immediately. After all Kiev was where Russia came from when Moscow was an insignificant fortress in the north.
Why does mirroring fail? I'm curious because it usually fails for me. Are you just talking about the supposed new integration of the wireless AP with the Apple TV?

Yep, exactly. That's where I got the idea. I feel like, if someone's going hold all of a user's data in one place, and be their online identity, in a sense, it should be the user.
Ghost blog theme with Facebook comments and likes
Awesome! I'd love to see something like this as a standalone project. "Vim Critic" or "Vim Coach" - something to say "these are the inefficient things you personally do."

Probably some low-hanging fruit would be "any keystroke in Normal mode that's repeated." Eg, if I'm doing 'jjjj' to move down or even 'wwww' to hop from word to word, I could be searching or using a movement combo like '4j'.
Considering companies like Dropbox and GitHub use it (even outright recommend it), I'd say it's pretty mainstream.

There has been a development of hate towards CoffeeScript in most JavaScript communities. CoffeeScript seems to be very popular in the non-JS communities that need to write JavaScript, like in the Ruby and Python web development communities. CoffeeScript was designed for non-JS coders to feel a lot more comfortable writing JS.
"Now it's intent on giving you fewer things to search"

This intention is viable and supposedly helpful for users because we don't need millions of results back, which just does not make sense. We need fewer but more relevant results back with high quality information. This is hard to achieve.

Only some human-powered search engines can provide this much quality but they cannot cover a wide range of the web due to the resource constraints. Google always tries to use better algorithms to do this job better. So users are suffering from their experiments.

I agree if search engines can only do this much job is ok, don't need to be too intelligent, like the days back to AltaVista. Actually Google's PageRank and server farms killed it, while some meta search engines can help to provide a broader coverage. Now we are about the time to find better solutions: http://bit.ly/1fu5glK

HN's UI gives you a much stronger hint of what the controls do.

You cannot undo an upvote (you can unflag posts and articles though). This is particularly a problem when using HN on mobile devices where distinguishing up and down votes is all but impossible. I'll often make multiple wrong clicks trying to navigate to a link or vote on an item. It's frustrating.

Subtle's interface is doubly deceptive: it lies to the user and it misrepresents the consequences of those lies. Makes me lose a lot of trust and faith in the product, actually. As well as those who use it.

Funny how things brand you.
This is awesome. We should help people around us achieve the same successes many of us have been fortunate to achieve.

At some point we must all realize that this (for various values of "this") isn't some sort of race to the top (if a "top" even exists), this is about pulling everyone up with us.

I'll give you an example. When Dr. Dre was shooting the "Welcome to California" video in his hometown of Compton, the whole community was ecstatic, seeing their idols in action in real life. The same idols that provided many of them hope and the opportunity to dream. A large part of those people surrounding the scene were kids, of all ages. One of those kids was Kendrick Lamar, whose dad (or uncle?) had put him on his shoulders so his kid can catch a glimpse of the amazing scene that was taking place.

Fast forward to today, Kendrick Lamar is one of the biggest artists in the world right now. He was able to make it out of Compton, California and become bigger than what his environment told him he can be. He represents the voice of the newer generation. When he started getting big and started working with Dr. Dre, he told Dre "I was there, I one of those kids that was watching you!".

I think it's a truly beautiful story and to some extent we are all capable of inspiring and helping those around us, either through our own actions or spending 10 or 15 minutes to give someone advice, or responding to an email.

We are not that important that we cannot spare 15 mins to someone who looks up to what we do and is inspired by what we do.
Unfortunately the Wii doesn't do 1080/720p stuff either though :/. The increase in quality is well worth spending $100 on some other type of streamer.

I had no idea it was like that. I must say I have never used it, I write most of my JS with HAXE. But hating it seems silly.
Eve's client is lightweight enough to run two or even three instances simultaneously.

So back when I played regularly I would do that (i.e. fleet manoeuvers i.e. nothing much) on my main character whilst running missions/ratting/managing production or sales with my "carebear" alternate character, or alternatively running around neighboring systems in a cloaked covert ops ship, scouting on behalf of that same fleet. All with Excel and other crucial management tools open on another screen, of course.

If you let it be so, playing Eve is not unlike running a small business and is perfectly engrossing.
You're correct, of course.

My comment was directed at the question of why someone would share copyright of their written work with an external party. One common answer is the distribution channel and pre-packaged audience. In that respect, NYT and Medium provide similar function.

The level of denial of the problem in this thread is astounding. It will only exacerbate the issue.

We are not heroes out of an Ayn Rand novel. We don't live in a bubble, we live within a rich and complex society. We better learn empathy towards the rest if we don't expect to get forced to give back. There are many social issues, youth unemployment being one of the worst.

And we, techies, are in a great position to promote social development instead of short-sighted and selfish corporate profits, to promote a free internet where users are in charge, to help out others who don't have our talents.

A lot of technologies we use (Internet, Web, Unix/BSD) were financed in good part by the public.

CoffeeScript was designed for non-JS coders to feel a lot more comfortable writing JS.

I'm not so sure about that. I use it as an experienced JS developer because it makes a lot of needlessly complex JS operations simpler.

Most of those are features in ES6, so it may well go out of vogue then - I've played around a little and may well end up returning to JavaScript at that point.
