That's right: a) you don't get scroll events until the scroll has finished, b) you do get touch events that drive the scroll (but nothing during the inertial part), c) the appearance of the page is not updated until the scroll has finished.

You can get around this by using programmatic scrolling (e.g., iScroll, zynga-scroller) but you'll never get quite as nice scrolling as with the native behaviour.
Google: "We strongly disagree with this copyright ruling and will fight it."
You keep saying 'unethical' as if it's the end of the discussion. But what if our current standard of medical ethics prevent us from finding the better policies or the better treatments? Is this standard set in stone and never to be doubted?

Probably taking away insurance from people who have it as an experiment is too extreme, and not implementable anyway. But is it really that unethical to take a subset of population without insurance, give it to a random subset for some time, and observe the differences? Why? No one from the control group is prevented from getting insurance on their own (compare with the candidate drug trials, where the control group can't just buy the drug on their own).

I think it's a good fit on mobile.

The mobile browser performance is still much lower than on the desktop, so you don't want to render too large a DOM at once.

Loading a new page over the network can easily take 10s, if you need to reactivate the 3G connection from a low-power state. Of course you can use a single-page-app approach to help that bit.

Scrolling in one direction is one of the easiest (and most fun) interactions you can do on a touch screen - clicking is much harder.

In that case, you shouldn't have replied to my post as though Orion contradicted my claim that there won't be another shuttle. Also, you need to check your facts -- Orion has been cancelled:

Even if we accept that this characterization is true, you would still need to show that it results in worse policy outcomes than whatever alternative system you my care to propose.

That is very difficult to do because policy outcomes are subjective. What you think is a worse policy outcome might be desired, or at least acceptable, to a majority of people.

It all comes down to policy, even for Larry Lessig. His turn toward reforming the entire system only happened after the system produced an outcome (on copyright extension) that he strongly disagreed with.
I've started to spend a lot of time on HN and enjoy the community despite not being a very strong developer. The discussion here though seems to highlight a divide. This is Helvetica! You can not understate its importance!

If I were to try and translate this for the HN crowd I would compare Helvetica to whatever you consider to be the greatest framework of all time. We stand on the shoulders of giants and Mike Parker is one of them.
They're complementary. <picture> uses subset of original srcset spec to meet the "resolution switching" use case - e.g. see Example 1 [1]. If you want to select an asset based on viewport width, then you'd either use "sizes" attribute on picture, or a combination of srcset + sources + sizes.

We are using a lower standard of evidence than medical decisions. The goal is to get as many clicks/conversions as possible in aggregate, most of the time. I.e., if you have a call to action ("3 day sale", "spring sale", "march sale") that dies in 3 days, we'll do the best we can to increase your conversions in those 3 days.

Similarly, if you have 10,000 seo-optimized microsites, each with traffic too low for a per-site A/B test, we'll improve your conversion rate across the 10,000 microsites.

If you want to make a long term change (e.g., logo, button color, feature) for a high traffic site (your one and only landing page) you are better off using a traditional A/B test.
> I watched it. I wasn't blown away.

Like many films, it hasn't aged very well. It relies on the atmosphere that existed at the height of the Cold War, and a certain atmosphere of darkness and paranoia that's less popular as a plot device in modern times. Also, for a modern audience it would have required better special effects, using methods that didn't exist at the time.

basically everything else that Perl offers

If you can transmit power to a 1cm bubble in space, you may be able to offset it into, say, brain tissue. Brain tissue probably doesn't due too well under a focused heat source.
You can rent a 2 bedroom apartment in most cities for under 900 a month. Spending money for internet + cell + cable entertainment can approach half that. With the median income in the US being $51K, that's about 6-8% of pre-tax income going towards entertainment, not counting eating out, vacations, and movies.

I also know better than to change the criteria after the study starts. A study was proposed. None of the critics of the study had anything negative to say about it until after the results were in - that's probably because they thought it would vindicate the 45,000 number.
Really odd, it's my firm opinion that the media is not only not a neutral observer, they're actually very damaging, but not in the way you suggest. It's my perspective that the media no longer points out outright lies and other silliness as demonstrated by the talking heads and punditry that's presented as fact and news, when the reporters know very well that their guests are liars, avoiding the issue, or misleading the facts.

Though for some reason most of conservative "friends" will tout similar talking points, when in truth the real issues are blatant untruths and misrepresentations being presented to the people. Only in America can we have a negative, lame-duck narrative of a newly re-elected presented who's had consistent job growth for 47 months, lowered the deficit the most aggressively out of any President over the past 20+ years, an obvious economic recovery as defined by numerous measures, and I could go on and on, but yet, somehow the media narrative continue to present Republicans as stewards of the economy, despite facts to the otherwise over the past 13 years, not to mention an unnecessary and financially damaging shutdown, along with whatever talking point they wish to present on any given day.

The facts of the matter is that the media loves sensational soundbites and talking points, over actual facts regardless. Which for whatever reason Democrats have been absolutely terrible at combating and presenting the actual situation.
Furthermore, the cable news/social media driven 24hr self-selected news cycle doesn't help things.

Heaven help us.
if you think about this like an inductive proof, you will see that giving up privacy to catch 'bad guys' will lead to a very scary Orwellian life for all of us. I would say most everyone I know does something illegal every day, certainly all of my friends in NYC jaywalking as a way of life and it is scary to think of the ways that computer systems can be used to enforce all of the shitty laws that serve no real purpose. Red light cameras for example are proven to cause more accidents than they prevent but they pay the bills.
I never really understood the fascination with typography beyond a readability standard to be honest, but that's why i'm not a designer.

"...I have not ever intentionally clicked on or even looked at an ad..."
"I don't watch TV except Netflix..."

It may be a coincidence, or it may not... but I've done research on ads distribution, and Netflix, by itself, represented over 10% of all "ad impressions". All of them. For every ten eyeballs ogling an ad, at least one of them was that insufferable red rectangle (I'm sick of it by now).

So it may be, or it may be not, but you are a Netflix customer. Maybe you were dragged in by the onslaught of banners. Maybe someone you know was, and convinced you to buy. Hard to say.
Repeating the same assertions without support in longer-winded form is not evidence.
it is not a fundamental right, it is a constitutional right. You can not collect evidence without probable cause.
I just replied to another thread with this exact same thought, then looked down to see yours. And yes, it is scary... If I understand it correctly, the targeting system just consists of normal receivers hacked to offset their targeting feedback by a distance that would park the energy ball inside the victim.

In any of the applications where this is deployed broadly, that is, where we cover our cities in transmitters, then we'll have effectively given over this remote kill capability to anyone who can do trilateration.

I read that a lot of the comments are related to key exchange.

Just wanted to mention that there is a possibility to key verification over sms. An sms can even be used for a temporary key for encrypting the key transfer.
Pydoc and GitHub.
Now presumably there is some drawback from doing this, otherwise "utf8mb4" would be the default (right?) but I'll be damned if I can figure out what the drawback is.

There are a couple, and they are insidious. From http://geoff.greer.fm/2012/08/12/character-encoding-bugs-are...:

This is when I discovered that InnoDB limits index columns to 767 bytes. Why is this suddenly an issue? Because changing the charset also changes the number of bytes needed to store a given string. With MySQL’s utf8 charset, each character could use up to 3 bytes. With utf8mb4, that goes up to 4 bytes. If you have an index on a 255 character column, that would be 765 bytes with utf8. Just under the limit. Switching to utf8mb4 increases that index column to 1020 bytes (4 * 255).

And later:

You might say, “OK, now we’re finished, right?” Ehh… it’s not so simple. MySQL’s utf8 charset is case-insensitive. The utf8mb4 charset is case-sensitive. The implications are vast. This change in constraints forces you to sanitize the data currently in your database, then make sure you don’t insert anything with the wrong casing. At work, there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Good luck. The real solution is to switch to something that isn't MySQL. The project in that post ended up switching to Cassandra. For new SQL stuff, I now use PostgreSQL.

Edit:

To those of you who point out that utf8mb4_unicode_ci is case-insensitive, we did try that. This whole fiasco happened two years ago, and I don't remember what the show-stopper was, but we decided not to use that collation. Whatever issues we had with it were bad enough to warrant switching to utf8mb4_bin and sanitizing everything. Really, the solution is to switch away from MySQL and forget about collations and encodings.

I recently moved an application off mysql to postgresql after hitting this error. After over a decade of mysql doing things their way and it always being a pain in the ass for everyone else when is enough, enough?

I no longer develop software to run on mysql because I like my sanity.
Programmer Anarchy
I think there was a little confusion in there, I do practice meditation. It has been shown to provide valuable benefits.

What I suppose I didn't understand was why someone would want to achieve the cessation state, where they literally cease to exist. It sounds, simply from a clinical standpoint, like some kind of adverse symptom or effect on the brain being misinterpreted as a stage of something spiritual.

I can certainly see the meaning it might have to those who believe it's something more. But for those who don't hold these beliefs, it seems rather pointless. I guess the answer to my "blaming statement" would be "those who are spiritual and believe it is good would want to". To each their own, and while I don't share these beliefs, I needn't be so blunt when expressing differing opinions, I was out of line.
Jamii I've seen your ocaml implementations, your code has been very instructive - thanks!
Pfft, that guy obviously doesn't know how to use code blocks. :D
Interactive Brokers also integrates with Quantopian.
There is a case insensitive collation for utf8mb4 so half of the problems there are just a misconfiguration. The index size restrictions are a problem though.
She's claiming girls can't do things because they don't get action figurines. That's "Shit Feminists Say" material...

I feel sorry for her if she really didn't get to do water battles. I wonder where she grew up, some ultraconservative Victorian household?

I sent my niece 4 water guns for her birthday and the whole family had a blast. It never occurred to me that girls wouldn't do water battles. The author is probably just extremely unlucky with her family.
You might reconsider your statement if said rocks are diamonds ...
Ironically, AngelList posted a slideshow the other day about how they don't use tests because they increase development time and make it hard to be agile. They instead iterate quickly, pushing out new versions and fixing rapidly as things come up.

SEX DRUGS APPS  SXSW INTERACTIVE AT 20
A nice simple identity I obtained in high school learning trigonometry:

z^(1/2) = ((z+1)/2)*sin(acos((z-1)/z+1))) for all z

...similar identities may be obtained using atan, etc. This came to me from the euclidean geometry construction of sqrt(z). I would like to have its construction image here, but the ascii art is too much. Perhaps Google would find it. When I messed with it, I noticed for large z, acos()--> 1, it's argument describes an angle going to zero and `bends' the left edge of the circle's subtended arc into a vertical line, say, as a zooming magnification. A dynamic screen as yours would be fun to watch the vertex of enclosed right-angle(largest) of the sqrt(z) half-chord, as you mouse drag this vertex around.
Does anyone know if MariaDB fixes this issue by default?
If this kind of technology were to fall into the wrong hands would we even know? Would it appear as though the victims had a heart attack or stroke?
Well, funnily enough MySQL are now owned by Oracle and I've wasted a couple of days trying to get some sane semblance of `LIMIT` working for me on Oracle... so don't hold your breath, Oracle have an even longer history of damning their customers...

I've been keeping a list of MySQL gotchas, but steering clear of the MySQL take on the SQL standard itself: http://williamedwardscoder.tumblr.com/post/25080396258/oh-my...

I still contemplate MySQL for new projects, because better the enemy you know and all that... OMG, I'm mad! Postgres rah rah rah!
The case sensitive part is incorrect, the author made a mistake and corrects it in the comments, but not in the article (don't know why).

Case insensitive works fine with mb4.

Erm, what? You are the author! So why would you copy/paste a section you know is incorrect? And an even bigger question is why would you leave it on your website to confuse lots and lots of people!

Fix it both here and in the article!
> Why they call this encoding "UTF-8" is beyond me, it most definitely is not UTF-8.

This is a confusion of concepts. That an encoding can encode a particular value does not mean all applications using that encoding will support that value. You can store any size number you like into a JSON number, but if you send me a 256-bit value in a field for temperature in celsius, I'm going to give you back an error.

Encodings ease data exchange, they do not alter the requirements or limitations of the applications using them. MySQL's original unicode implementation supported only the Basic Multilingual Plane, so unsurprisingly, characters outside that plane are rejected. That would be the case regardless of the particular encoding used.

What you want is support for all Unicode characters. This is a reasonable request, but it is decoupled from the encoding used to communicate those characters to MySQL.

Someone pointed out in the comments on that link that utf8mb4 isn't necessarily case sensitive. The author believed that due to the fact that he was using utf8mb4_bin_ci as collation, which is a binary collation. It works as expected when using a "true" collation like utf8mb4_general_ci.

The index problem is mildly annoying, but limiting index length isn't a big problem. For most applications, you can uniquely identify a row with much less than 191 characters, and it might be a good optimization to limit index length regardless to prevent the index size from growing out of control. If it's truly a problem, hacks like adding a sha1 or md5 hash column with a value derived from the original column and indexing that instead solves the problem.

Edit: Ops. Didn't realize parent was the article author. :)
Isn't that a bit too late at that point in time?

Once something has been on the internet...
There is a utf8mb4_unicode_ci collation, but we had big problems with it. I'm sorry, but this happened two years ago and I can't remember what the exact issues were. Whatever they were, they were bad enough that we ended up using utf8mb4_bin and sanitizing everything.

Edit: Apologies, I wrote utf8mb4_general_ci when I meant to say utf8mb4_bin. I think the issue we had was conflicting rows on unique constraints due to utf8mb4_unicode_ci having different comparison rules than utf8_unicode_ci.

Don't want to be confused by utf8 vs utf8mb4 charsets or deal with the subtle differences between utf8_general_ci, utf8_unicode_ci, utf8mb4_general_ci, utf8mb4_unicode_ci, and utf8mb4_bin? Switch to PostgreSQL. You will not regret it.
I guess we do, this really shows the extensible nature of Atom.
So you get an idea, you pull some code together (only 70 lines!) and it works. I think that is reason enough to post it.
