Love this idea, lots of fun and a lot friendly than most event ticket experiences. Does it fallback gracefully to a non-selfie/non-phone ticket if someone doesn't wish to, or isn't able to participate?
I think it would be fantastic to have a scary stories version. It would fit in with a slightly older audience too after they grow out of the children's book phase.
Like several other commenters, Hypercard was my first programming-like experience. I don't think I made anything more complex than a series of pages linked together with buttons. It was a great learning tool, easier than HTML where you still have to worry about embedded images and it's difficult to vertically center something.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree that that's a 100% accurate assessment, since well, it was designed by programmer.

I haven't lost hope on stockor.com at all. I'm hoping that the open-source version will drive additional attention to stockor.com and I'll pick up more customers from it.

The basic problem I've ran into is credibility with customers. They're understandably reluctant to trust their entire business to some guy over the internet. I believe that if I can point out that the code is open and they can always migrate to running it themselves it should alleviate their reluctance.

Really it's kind of a no-brainer to pay me to host it at a few hundred a month vs hiring an IT guy.
As far as I know, the major difference between Jet-A and #2 is that is has a much lower gel point than even the northern winter diesel fuels, because higher = colder. If you already have electric motors, wouldn't electrically heated fuel tanks suddenly be more possible than trying to divert waste heat out of fuel-burning engines?

You could save a LOT of money on fuel if you could use off-road #2 oil instead of Jet-A.

> Is it really an "overreach" if the NSA can acquire the mobile phone records of Yemen "indiscriminately" and use the data to build social graphs for current and future (currently unknown) targets of interest?

Is it an overreach if the Yemeni government "indiscriminately" collects the mobile phone records of US citizens? Or, more realistically, China, Russia, UK, Germany, etc...? It seems to me, when you carry out that kind of surveillance (really any sort of wide reaching security/military tactics) you can only expect reciprocity. And at that point why even be bothered if the NSA can collect American data? Even if they cannot legally capture it on their own, they know exactly where they need to go to get it...

I guess my point really boils down to "Do unto others...".
Dealing with the necessities of the real world means drawing lines, and just because it may be ridiculous to draw the line in one place does not mean that the whole exercise is ridiculous. At the opposite extreme: even if a terrorist is heading at you with an AK-47, you shouldn't "commit an act of violence" because what if he chances his mind and decides not to shoot you?
Tracking Down a Memory Leak in Ruby's EventMachine (March 2013)
At no point was it "cut in half."

Here's a graph: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/files/2012/11/M...

It's barely below the peak spending, including Star Wars and all that, of the height of the Cold War.

Cutting it in half would be a good start, along with Homeland Security.

More was spent on the recent wars than the whole Cold War. That's your grandchildrens' debt slavery right there. People should be very very angry about that.

When I was maybe six years old or so, my mom was taking a calculus class, and had this book checked out from the library:

This would be much easier to understand if GitHub had proper ruby syntax highlighting. Just yesterday I was testing this, it appears they use very simplistic algorithm for parsing Ruby string interpolation - probably just regexes, which cannot handle nesting.

you are kidding right?

why is this even top comment.
Partial application is syntactic sugar over lambdas. For example, say you have a print_with_color function:

print_with_color(color.RED, level.INFO, "some message")

But it's to long to type, each time you want to print a message, so you define some wrappers:

info=lambda m: print_with_color(color.GRAY, level.INFO, m)
error=lambda m: print_with_color(color.RED, level.ERROR, m)
warning=lambda m: print_with_color(color.YELLOW, level.WARNING, m)
info('hi im an info')

Which works, but it is perhaps nicer to use partial:

info=partial(print_with_color, color.GRAY, level.INFO)
error=partial(print_with_color, color.RED, level.ERROR)
warning=partial(print_with_color, color.YELLOW, level.WARNING)
info('hi im an info')

You could also use it on objects:

std=partial(stdlog.log, level.INFO)
std('hi')
err=partial(errlog.log, level.ERROR)
err('bad')

Partial application saves you more in languages with syntactic support for them. There api producers design their functions with partial application in mind, unlike python where you often wish for an rpartial function because you want to partially apply from "the other side."
Nobody said it was easy (other than you just now).

What American security planners are worried about is exactly that marginal increase.

Suppose Yemen (sorry to pick on Yemen) becomes a secure base for bad guys who manage to bomb an airplane, a subway, or a major sporting event somewhere in the world "merely" half a dozen times a year. You can argue all you want about how you'd still be more likely to die from a traffic accident, but that won't change the political pressure for action. Frankly, a lot of that pressure would be rational: The costs of disruptive attacks of course go way beyond the mere casualties, even if everyone involved is perfectly stoic.

Now you're looking at the potential for a military incursion, dramatically escalated security at transportation hubs and public events, and/or a bunch of other responses that you might find a whole lot more distasteful than the intelligence agency of a democratic government keeping tabs on phone calls in an unstable country.

In theory, having every bit of data would be useful.

In practice (a decade or more of NSA collecting phone records), this doesn't seem to be the case. Multiple terrorist events have happened, but apparently NSA was not able to use all that data to detect or prevent them.

Where the data has been most useful has been in persecuting journalists and political rivals and whistle blowers and circumventing due process in courts.

I'd bet on NSA destroying our democracy long before a terrorist could.

How much experience have you of languages that zero-initialize before the constructor is called?

I was a compiler engineer at Borland / Embarcadero on Delphi, a non-GC language with a zero-init approach. Java zero-initializes. C# zero-initializes. In fact, I struggle to think of a modern language that doesn't zero-init or prevents access to uninitialized fields by definite assignment analysis.

Overhead in C++ is a different story. C++ is not low overhead enough, to me, to justify the claims made for it. For example, I like static data structures, especially in C. But in C++ they are unidiomatic. How do you statically initialize (in the rdata / rodata segment) an object graph (even as simple as a tree) with zero-copying at runtime?

Or how about copy constructors that may throw exceptions. That leads to inefficient APIs for things like std::stack::pop(). Guarding against exceptions in generic code has implicit overhead when the type system is as user-mutable as C++.

Since I'm not interested in the holy war that has spawned from so many white knights and dikes trying to take that which hasn't been earned, all in the name of balance (which, I wish they would find some), I'll just simply agree with your comment about OSX and Ruby.

I've used Bootstrap and been forced to use it on existing projects already engulfed in it. It isn't pretty on a large project. I've sworn off using Bootstrap in any new project that isn't a prototype for a hack day.

Is it an overreach if the Yemeni government "indiscriminately" collects the mobile phone records of US citizens? Or, more realistically, China, Russia, UK, Germany, etc...?

By my thinking, no, not at all. It's life in the modern world of sovereign states and power politics. And of course one of the NSA's jobs is to make that kind of surveillance harder. (I'm less sanguine about the kinds of intelligence sharing operations with allies that are indeed end-runs around the Fourth Amendment.)

Ask HN: Can we take investor capital and keep our lifestyle business culture?
We (two founders) work on a project that requires an investment of 350k-500k until it should be making enough profit to sustain daily business and growth (3-5 employees). We do have some, but not all of that money and will need an investor.

Currently, our company is run like a lifestyle business: two founders working each (very productive) 30-40 hours per week on this project. We do not want to sacrifice this culture.

Should we even bother to find an investor? Has anyone taken early-stage outside money but kept a moderate work/life-balanced business culture?

HtmlUnit: 2.14
I don't use it anymore. I jumped on it when App.net switch to its current incarnation from <whatever it was they used to do, I forget>. Paid the $50 for the developer key. Looks over the docs, posted a thing or two, then never used it. From a development standpoint I guess I never really got it. After looking at the other apps out there for inspiration, which were all Twitter clones, I guess no one else "got it", either.

Helping me "get it" lands at the feet of App.net. But a mass of corporaty buzzwords isn't going to fix that. Someone else mentioned the mistake of directing users to the Alpha app. Yup, it's just a paid version of Twitter, I guess. And App.net did nothing to dissuade me of that idea. Nothing in their pitch, nothing in the API docs (that I saw) indicated to me that there was more to do than post short pieces of text. Telling me it's a "platform" is not useful. Pointing me to an API and saying "here, we have user storage!", "over here we have a picture API", now those kinds of things would be useful and would persuade me that it's not just paid Twitter.

The demo stuff was laking good test data on most pages. That was my initial thought.
Look at the hashCode() implementations in http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/root/j...

For example:

public static int hashCode(double a[])

{

if (a == null)
return 0;

int result = 1;
for (double element : a) {
long bits = Double.doubleToLongBits(element);
result = 31 * result + (int)(bits ^ (bits >>> 32));
}
return result;
}
And that's the reason the GP said that a pragma to not zero-init would probably be helpful for such cases.

People are going to pigpile on you b/c you are wrong about the longevity of the tech information and sarcastic remarks about women, etc.

I DO agree with the cringe-factor, though. I really didn't like watching her adjust her purple knit slippers, giggle and fluff her hair, etc.. It was like watching any other advertisement involving models which I don't like either and is one of the reasons I don't watch television.

I also didn't like her trying to increase the aura for her work by saying, "My country is also where Linux and IRC, etc." came from. There's probably a logical fallacy for that :)

Just like all bad art though, there is almost always information to be gained in the layer of meta-communication. Obviously, many people respond to this kind of stimulus. Perhaps it is because there isn't enough "cute" out there in the world already? It is my belief that cuteness and happy feelings should be more widely distributed, not just reserved for celebrities.

But even this morning on NPR (don't usually listen, was in a rush), I heard them announce the birthday of a celebrity.

We are in a celebrity culture that believes in foregoing our own happiness in exchange for concentrating wealth and happiness on certain other people. We are schizophrenic in that we pay money for impressions of the happiness that others experience. Is it made worse by the fact that we don't even care if celebrity's happiness is authentic or not, we still pay for the illusion.

Whoa hey! I've been looking for something like this! Do you have any examples online of your group-created notes?
Communication collection is an act of violence, but of a much smaller degree than blowing something up, of course.
So basically you would like to be able to write this:

struct Bar
{
int * one;
int * two;
int * three;

Bar()
{
one = new int{1};
two = new int{2};
three = new int{3};
}

~Bar()
{
if (!one) return;
delete one;
if (!two) return;
delete two;
if (!three) return;
delete three;
}
};

and that is somehow cleaner and more efficient than this:

struct Bar
{
std::unique_ptr<int> one;
std::unique_ptr<int> two;
std::unique_ptr<int> three;

Bar()
:
one{new int{1}},
two{new int{2}},
three{new int{3}}
{}
};
