I just got my first tablet in the form of a Dell Venue Pro 8 and I absolutely love it but I think a large part of it has to do with the ability to run full apps and the fact its 7in form factor lets me put it in my pocket.

Tablets used to refer to larger phones that ran the same apps but that ecosystem is hopefully changing.

What's your take on Crossbar RRAM? It sounds fantastic, but does it work?
One way to get onto the big tech sites is to reach out to 2nd, 3rd and 4th tier tech bloggers. A lot of the 1st tier tech journalists read and follow the 2nd and below tier tech blogs.

I'd love to find a service that shows me who reads or follows what. Also, a service that shows where the viral/press attention happened first and the press hits it received after. I was trying to do my own study last week on this in regards to the forgetify app. What started their press ball rolling? Was it here on Hacker News or Reddit? I wasn't able to scroll through the 1,000s and 1,000s of tweet to find it's first hit.
I blame the reference (server) implementation leaving so much to be desired. Primarily stability.

I tried running a silc server alongside my ircd for a while, but it never even reached a weeks worth of uptime without crashing (no matter if debian package, self compiled stable or devel, or some minor messing with the source).

Perhaps if a non-C/C++ implementation comes along..
They are. Brackets was presented at a local js meetup a little more than a year ago; Edge code is one of the primary reasons why adobe is running this project.
They're redirecting first-timers from sites like Facebook and Twiter who have many users who don't know an Imgur link from a Facebook CDN link. Reddit users all know what Imgur is already. There are many people on Facebook and Twitter who would likely browse through the types of stuff Imgur hosts on their homepage, not so much an issue for Reddit users. Imgur basically is just a more visual reddit with less reading...
Unfortunately, it appears to include node developers who don't have the time or patience to submit a pull request, those who do but whose requests won't be approved, and developers who code in languages other than javascript and who therefore have nothing useful enough to add, among the 'riff-raff'.

Some kind of proof of work is an interesting idea for a site like this, but I wonder if it self-selects for too narrow a domain? I don't know that the correlation between "submitted code" and "provides quality content" are strong enough for this particular filter to provide results worth the effort.
I would love for it to have jinja2 syntax highlighting support as well :)
The step of just adding yourself to the userlist seems ill-conceived. Automatic merges are just going to overwrite the last person added unless manually merged. Can I propose this just use github for authentication, and only allow those on the contributors list (http://developer.github.com/v3/repos/#list-contributors) to successfully log in?
Let's be real here. The only "bureaucratic mistake" here is an agent filling out a form improperly in a way that victimized someone. Everything that happened after that is both deliberate and malicious.

If a mistake was made, it should be easy to correct and not be followed by years of fighting to not only keep it from being corrected but to keep it a secret. They've successfully kept most of it a secret, even though the direct victim had their suffering eased.

The indirect and ultimate victims of this, our individual rights and society's ideals, are still suffering.
Don't forget that it took 7 years for them to admit a guy filled out the form wrong.

Hi

We didn't have an irresponsible disclosure. We did recently present some of this information and were asked about our security policy. That policy wasn't yet published or announced so we decided it was important to get it out there, especially leading up to the Docker 1.0 release.

Please feel free to contact me, james@docker.com, if you have any questions or concerns about the policy.

Thanks!

We already know that privatization of food sources works in practice.

Seems like you skipped a step there. It works with quite varying degrees of success, not unlike regulation.

Edit2: We are completely fine with the government protecting private farms on land. What's wrong, philosophically, with government protection of private fisheries in the ocean?

Nothing, except not all of them are any given government's to give away (because you can fish in international waters), and because the task and costs involved are significantly different.

I'm not opposed to your idea, but you're hand-waving it as a panacea without thinking about the real issues. People have been doing this since the 1970s but we've still got a lot of problems, so it's clearly not a magic bullet. See for example http://cironline.org/reports/system-turns-us-fishing-rights-... (and no, I don't especially care about the corporations v. cottage industry frame, there's just some good summary information in the article).
Or google doesn't really care, they'll just kick out any app that is bringing troubles when it comes. The play store is already some kind of wild west, they have no image problem and they'll be able to take any radical action they want to avoid the shit hitting the fan without getting the news sites on their back for 3 months.
Tesla Model S Cross Country Rally – Los Angeles to New York [video]
I write Python, but it is only among the languages I use and the languages there are. Here is some Python displayed with Raleway font: <http://cadadr.tumblr.com/post/75836598049/here-is-some-pytho.... The code is indented with 4 spaces. I cannot see any problems with the left outline of the code (I am not arguing it is good though, I am only arguing that it functions).

Also, if each interval of indentation is n spaces, won't the indentation look aligned anyway, as the width of a space character is constant?

> In indentation, never use tabs. Always use spaces. Tabs are open to reinterpretation [...]

I take this as a good property of tabs, given that spaces aren't used for micro-alignment, that indentation is formed only of tabs. This enables different people with different tastes to easily collaborate: I personally like wide indentation, so I keep my tab width as wide as 8 space characters. But, say, if you were to read my code and liked smaller intervals of indentation, you can set your tab width to, say, two spaces, and view the code as you like it, whereas with hard spaces, this is impossible without actually changing the file.
Right, certainly related - the vision may or may not be precisely what I described (I'm not sure one way or the other about browser integration) but certainly a great starting point to build off of if not entirely what we want.
I gave that example for two reasons. One is that it's not possible to assume the world can change. There's a big installed base.

The second is that your solution - fixed indentation levels, etc - doesn't work for this case. Or as a challenge, what's your better way of writing this yacc-style BNF in a proportional font?

atom_symbols ::=
'H' | 'He'
|'Li'|'Be'| 'B' |'C' |'N' |'O' |'F' |'Ne'
|'Na'|'Mg'| 'Al'|'Si'|'P' |'S' |'Cl'|'Ar'
|'K' |'Ca'|'Sc'|'Ti'|'V' |'Cr'|'Mn'|'Fe'|'Co'|'Ni'|'Cu'|'Zn'|'Ga'|'Ge'|'As'|'Se'|'Br'|'Kr'
|'Rb'|'Sr'|'Y' |'Zr'|'Nb'|'Mo'|'Tc'|'Ru'|'Rh'|'Pd'|'Ag'|'Cd'|'In'|'Sn'|'Sb'|'Te'|'I' |'Xe'
|'Cs'|'Ba'| 'Hf'|'Ta'|'W' |'Re'|'Os'|'Ir'|'Pt'|'Au'|'Hg'|'Tl'|'Pb'|'Bi'|'Po'|'At'|'Rn'
|'Fr'|'Ra'| 'Rf'|'Db'|'Sg'|'Bh'|'Hs'|'Mt'|'Ds'|'Rg'

|'La'|'Ce'|'Pr'|'Nd'|'Pm'|'Sm'|'Eu'|'Gd'|'Tb'|'Dy'|'Ho'|'Er'|'Tm'|'Yb'|'Lu'
|'Ac'|'Th'|'Pa'|'U' |'Np'|'Pu'|'Am'|'Cm'|'Bk'|'Cf'|'Es'|'Fm'|'Md'|'No'|'Lr';

Every example I can think of is uglier, and harder to understand. The only solution is that everyone switches to a source code encoding which includes enough presentation capabilities that it supports embedded tables. I don't see that happening any time soon.

Do you have a better suggestion of how to lay this out in some alternative environment?
Right, that works great assuming static content.
It is hard to immigrate to Israel, that's the consequence of a democracy that must for survival's sake remain Jewish in majority.

There's an easy solution, though. Marry an Israeli. He or she doesn't have to be Jewish, either. There are millions of Muslim, Christian, Bahai, and even Buddhist Israeli passport holders.

Exactly. Fine for a solo game developer, but when compared to most top grossing titles which regularly eclipse $250K/day (and are also long-lasting, whereas I'd guess Flappy Bird falls off the radar within a month or two).

Ads never monetize close to the revenue that you can make from IAP - a typical ad installation will make between $0.005 and $0.01 per daily active user, whereas a decently monetizing free to play title can make between $0.03 and $0.20. Smaller userbase titles like card battlers can make upwards of $0.50.

Again, fine for one guy, but I wouldn't call this a raging success of a title and something that free-to-play game studios will use as a framework, by any means. If it takes 50 million installs to make $50K/day, that's a really bad thing.

Many folks in the mobile games industry believe that Flappy Bird is actually a triumph of gaming Apple's downloads and ratings system more than it is indicative of the game's actual success. We'll see whether it's able to keep a stronghold or if it falls off the map shortly.

There is a striking contrast on HN between this release and say, when Node or Rails release a new version. At the one hour point since this was posted and there are no comments.

Anybody use Django? Or just not excited about this release? I'm genuinely curious.

In your estimation, when did the definition of hotlinking change to what you portray?
The article says two different things about how free() works:

1. In case of NULL pointer free does no action.
2. In "double free corruption" section, it says "Could be caused by calling free with pointer, which is [..] NULL pointer"

So: which is it? Otherwise, there's no point in the NULL/assert() dance, you can freely free() with impunity:

struct foo *a, *b, *c;
a=NULL; b=NULL; c=NULL;
a=malloc(sizeof *a);
b=malloc(sizeof *b);
c=malloc(sizeof *c);

if(!(a && b && c)) {free(a); free(b); free(c); return 1;}
From my understanding...

Ask HN: Looking for lead tracking software with mobile app
Hey HN. I recently started consulting with another friend and we're looking for a way to mutually track/update our leads. Website/mobile.

As in, he takes a client, starts a new lead, inputs revenue from the project, adds it to our gross revenue etc.
You suggest using 'calloc' to avoid calculating the size of the allocation (which would be necessary with 'malloc'). This is fine, and you store the number of elements in the 'size' field. But later, in the grow function, you double 'size' and then use it as-is in the call to 'realloc' which expects size to be in bytes, not elements.
Good for them gettin the evil bitcoiners off the iPhones
There is no reason for DRM whatsoever. At least no valid reason.

> In order for commercial companies to be able to use html5, they need some form of drm

This is false. Those companies can use the HTML without DRM with the same success. No company ever needs any DRM.
Who keeps upvoting this? You're totally not doing what I assumed you would.
The "on your system" part is what prevents this from happening. However, with features like remote attestation, a DRM platform could be built. If users start accepting PCs locked down like tablets, then this might be an issue.
What the article intended to say is calling free() on the same pointer twice is considered 'double free'. Also an issue with the c++ delete operator.

Calling free() on NULL is a no-op.
AAA developers aren't trying to make games that earn $50K/day (while a game is getting 1MM+ installs per day). AAA developers can spend $100MM+ in development costs and are looking for titles that can make $200K/day or launch and make $75MM on day 1.

Indie developers would love to make this type of game, but the fact is that even with the monumental success the game has had from a download perspective (50MM downloads), it's still only making $50K/day. That's like winning the lottery. Most indie devs are going to make games that get downloaded fewer than 1 million times, which, for a title like this, isn't going to make more than 1-2 employee salaries (let alone the up-front cost of building the game for the first X months for free).
FWIW, The target audience may already be the types who pay for "Chromebooks for Business":

I certainly think that those both deserve to be important considerations, and probably most others assessing will think so as well, so they will certainly affect things. But there will be lots of other factors, individual (diversification, speculation) and collectively (amount of currency available), so I feel that "determined by" is too strong. I also didn't really like the "true market value" wording, but I'd have let it slide if that was my only concern.

Tablets aren't computers, they are smart displays

My main interest in tablet apps is for recording, editing, and synthesizing sound, a task for which there is a rich app ecosystem. Of course they're computers, even if you you personally prefer to use them mainly as displays. Of course, I can do those tasks on a larger scale and with better quality on a desktop/laptop computer, but as an aesthetic matter, that means putting the computer at the center of things which I prefer not to do. A tablet offers a moderate amount of computer power in a particularly accessible form factor that's (figuratively) lightweight enough to use as an adjunct device in the studio.

This actually happened several years in a rural area where I grew up.

Some people shot up transformers at a larger substation. Maybe they expected to see an explosion, fire, or something but just ended up making a hell of a mess (The transformer oil leaked out, and is considered hazmat) and causing a lot of damage ($Millions).

They didn't catch those people either. But, I don't recall anyone calling them 'Snipers' or 'domestic terrorists'.
If only we could be so lucky. There were a brief few decades in the United States where you couldn't be born the "wrong color", born the "wrong gender" (let's leave advanced concepts like non-binary gender and fluidity off the table for a moment, but they invalidate my statement), belong to the "wrong religion" or have the "wrong politics".

We're just back to the status quo, that's all.
if a wallet or credentials for a wallet are stored on an iOS device, and the device gets compromised through an exploit in iOS, Who's liable? I'd say Apple isn't liable (unless they knew and chose not to fix it), but would everyone say that? Dunno.

Still. I don't like this.
Honestly, I feel that there are situations where a government makes mistakes. I think some cases should be assessed and handled on a case-by-case basis, whereas others are very black-and-white and should be handled en masse. Personally, I believe this situation may be one of these two, in which case it should be handled appropriately by the government. But overall, I think the most important thing is that governments should handle the cases correctly depending on what kind of case it is, and be held accountable for their mistakes.
Hi there! Author of @dumpmon here. If you are interested, the entire project is open-sourced here: https://github.com/jordan-wright/dumpmon

I'm planning a solid revision sometime soon!
Yeah, but people are stupid and especially so when greed kicks in! I always explore Internet phenomenons and try to put myself in the shoes of the affected. I've spent days playing Mafia Wars to see what the hell makes people waste so much time with that crap and I think got it. I did everything a Bitcoiner does for a few months, BitcoinWisdom.com charts are now burnt into my retina, I had nightmares about crashes (some were real when I woke up), and I know first-hand how your mindset changes. Anyway, everybody's in for a quick lazy profit! I got totally disgusted by Bitcoin thanks to people like Barry Silbert (this guys is like an open book), the Winklevii, potheads like Chalie Shrem (http://www.vocativ.com/12-2013/night-bitcoin-millionaire-pro...) who some are now trying to turn into a hero, and even Fred Wilson who was totally arrogant and deceitful during the NYDFS hearing.

We, the startupers, of course, like to make money, too, but we know it is not easy, it's actually a lot of work, skills, and luck, and money is almost never top priority - it's just a nice added bonus, a reward if we do good! We want to change the world, but not to change the world so that we get rich from the hoarded coins!

I do like the innovation that Bitcoin brought, I like that it brought the attention to some of the problems it's claiming to solve (almost many are false promises - like micropayments), but I don't think it can be sustained for much longer!
Look at you all the drama queens.

Hotlinking makes sense if you intend embedding inline an image to your site/forum/blog. Imgur still offers you this feature.

There is no (obvious) reason doing that when you are sharing a link to the image. Facebook/twitter dont allow you embedding images from external servers, imgur knows you are just linking to it, and redirects you to the image's page, as a well behavioured netizen should have done by themselves.
Precisely, although occasionally Amazon has cheaper or equal prices as Newegg on computer parts -- so it's preferential to choose Amazon for that better support in those cases.

I do not have a counter-example, and think that in this case, a monospaced font is necessary for good presentation. However, I'd not format this code in this shape in the first place, instead list them linearly with line breaks where due:

'Be' ...;

This way it is easier to edit, automatically wrap (not meaning that the periodic table will change drastically soon, but this might have been a table of sth. else) and read the snippet. This is more of a matter of personal delight though.

My suggestion: flip a coin. Or choose based on something arbitrary like which website design you like more. They are both great startups that deserve your business.
