OOP with GNU Guile and GOOPS
GNU Guile (the Scheme interpreter of the GNU project) has a mature extension which facilitates object-oriented programming. GOOPS has objects, classes, meta-classes, and multiple dispatch. It also provides a means of modifying the output of the REPL.
These sorts of comments always set off alarm bells for me -

"If we could capture approximately 1% of the X on Y"

I think in a lot of countries the labour costs are the major factor in the price.

If this is true then what we really need is longevity and efficiency rather than cheaper panels.

This is not to be confused with developer mode on Chromebooks, which does make each boot very annoying.

> That's a very Christian take on the subject and one that more people need to get rid of. A woman is not "made of man"; a woman's worth does not come from her relationship to a man. No one's worth comes from someone else's existence.

What is a "Christian take", here?

- Refering to people by their role in your life? That is an incredibly common way to refer to people, whether that person is man or woman.

- It having an appeal because it supports people in one's life? That is possessive? Being encouraging because people that you care about, care about it? I'm at a loss.
YAWYSCA or Yet Another Why You Should Code Article
This. The author likes to fill the space between his unexplored technical points with this tasteless, dismissive tone that makes me question the value of his argument even before I scroll down to look for an appropriately brief TL;DR. Unfortunately all I find is some strange reverence for the most irreverent cryptocurrency, Dogecoin. I'm sure the billions of unbanked and poor in need of affordable remittances would prefer a currency that takes neither itself nor its users seriously, and which lacks even the economic principles to deflect its alt-coin implausibility, over an increasingly established and appropriately ambitious alternative to the current financial system.

Apple doesn't need to be as good as or better than it might have been if Steve Jobs had survived, it needs to be better than the competition. Which other company does anyone here think does a better job at competing in Apple's markets than Apple? That's what matters.

Yes I'd love to see Apple move into new markets with new original products and services. I don't see any reason Apple today is any less likely to be able to do that than any other company.

You make some very interesting observations. I'm pretty sure the folks at Twitter spend a LOT of time working on user engagement and solving the signal vs noise problem in recommendations etc. What's been their response so far when you reached out to them? I would try to reach out to the people trying to solve this problem (developers) instead of to management first, in case it's not a matter of decision making but a more of an algorithmic problem.
It was the key part of the campaign to exert pressure on the Caucasus as there wasn't really any other way. But your right, it isn't a great example, it was the local connection (NZ) that got me there (we had Britain rather than the US as the master back then). However my point was that it isn't just the Russians who have had imperial ambitions there.

JSON Schema has a ton of implementations and tools hanging off of it. It is possible to load and validate a config, and then display a reasonably nice UI for editing it (in such a way that the resulting state is also valid), all by creating a single declarative JSON Schema. Nothing comparable exists for YAML as far as I can tell, and by virtue of its complexity, it is unlikely to exist for quite some time.
Their history of oddly-composed transactions could help identify more of their likely addresses, if noone else did the same thing, but that would still be of limited use in funds-tracing depending on whether such addresses were ever reused.

That they've long been issuing valid but unusual signatures was mentioned among other places at: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1x93tf/some_irc_cha...

I'm not sure if this was just a tiny sliver of their transactions, or a large proportion... but it complicates easy analysis of what the malleability losses could be.
HN's relatively simple, eg it's already a single column layout. Relative widths would do 90% of the job.
Nobody I follow on Twitter thinks like this. The idea of a Twitter account having some intrinsic social capital baffles me. The "old" Twitter accounts? The "new" Twitter accounts?

I follow Daniel J. Bernstein (@hashbreaker, a relatively new account) because he's Daniel J. Bernstein. I am interested in what DJB has to say.

I am in conversations with other people who are interested in what DJB has to say. We comment on the same threads. They wind up in my feed. Not infrequently, one of those people will say something interesting. I will click the "follow" button. Others do the same. Their follower count grows.

In what other way could this system meaningfully work? Why on earth would I follow someone because of their Twitter stats? What do I care how Twitter manages those stats? If you want a chance to be heard, say something interesting.
Hm, security made millionaires you say, I'm not sure about that. WhatsUp is not the kind of application that I would expect from a former w00w00/TESO/MoD/ADM/Gobless/LSD-PL/whatever.

I'm not sure if you're referring to a certain jurisdiction in the US, another country, or speaking "theoretically per your interpretation of the US constitution if a case made it to the supreme court", but that is not accurate for the majority of the states in the US. Most US states I'm aware of currently grant officers police authority on and off duty per state law.
As an aside, I think it's pretty impressive that a post by someone who graduated high school 8 months ago is being discussed and debated on the top of HN. He says he is looking for an internship, hopefully he will get some interest. Kudos.
> As I mentioned to the other poster, off duty officers here (and many/most places) work in their department issued uniform with their badge/radio/gun with full police powers/immunity [emphasis added].

Your claim is false, and you need to learn constitutional law. A police office working as a private security guard is not acting as an agent of the police, he is acting as an agent of whomever hired him, and he does not have police powers. He can make the same arrests that a citizen can make, but has no official police powers.

Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_police

Quote: "Private police lack the same arrest powers of government law enforcement, but do have the right to make a citizens arrest if they actually witness a crime happening."

The above means that off-duty police officers are citizens, not police officers. It's considered desirable to learn a topic before posting about it, not after.

Link: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Does_a_security_officer_have_the_p...

Quote: "Q: Does a security officer have the police power to make an arrest in new jersey? A: No, NJ does not give Private Security officers/guards any special police powers to execute an arrest. You only have the power to make a citizens arrest."

> The last western country to give women right to vote was in 1960s.

Women got the right to vote at a federal level in Switzerland in 1971.

> The fact that you make 80 cents to every dollar a man makes is not a proof of any prejudice but a proof that women are genetically pre-disposed to making less money than men.

No. You talk about sociology 101, so how about this nugget; making less money than someone has many more variables associated with it than discrimination (for example; part time vs. full time). This is practically an urban myth at this point. You can Google for refutations of it if you want (either 80 cents, or 77 cents) and you should be able to find a dozen decent ones.

Whether this is a problem is debatable, but referring to it as 'Injustice' is entitled and inappropriately hyperbolic.
> since they had no reason to use raw transactions API which lets you to use specific inputs, and instead they probably just used the more common sendto API

There's a very good reason to use specific inputs - the only correct way to re-issue transactions is with the same inputs from the failed transaction, ensuring that its impossible for both the old failed transaction and the new one to both exists on the same blockchain.
Of course this is wildly speculative but perhaps a simple answer is that someone internally at Mt Gox cleaned out the accounts and is blaming hackers and/or bugs. 100's of millions of dollars is easily enough of a temptation for someone to commit major fraud.
The world operates as an unregulated market for social capital. To blame Twitter for that is a little absurd.

We recently converted our project from IB to doing everything programmatically and could not be happier with the result.

As the app has evolved over time and grown in complexity, we felt we reached a tipping point where using IB was slowing us down more than it was helping. Same for auto-layout.

Part of this was because the app simply has a lot more functionality today than it did three years ago, which means there were a lot more nibs to manage than before. Part of it is because we started developing more custom views that did not map to any existing IB components and thus had to be done by hand anyway. Part of it is because we found we had to switch to drawing certain things programmatically for performance reasons. Either way, I'm quite glad we made the conversion.

That said, I agree that most apps should start with IB and only move onto the more complex stuff once/if the need arises. IB helps a lot out of the gate (and also makes learning the platform a lot easier since you can visually see what you're setting up). Once it gets to be a hindrance, you'll know, and you can then make the decision to switch later on. And if your app goes nowhere, then you'll have wasted less of your time.

I also strongly agree that explicit is better than implicit, and configuring a view programmatically allows you to fully specify what its behavior should be, rather than what it happens to be. When you revisit a nib several months later after originally configuring it, sometimes you forget whether the configuration option you selected in the dropdown was intentional, or was it the default, or was it merely accidentally changed at some point?
Extensions (besides their other issues such as security) are also chrome-specific and require chrome-specific knowledge to write.

CSS stylesheets are nicely portable and should work in any (well, most) browser.

In general, a browser agnostic solution is preferable to a browser-specific solution, if they have the same functionality....

Stylesheets are also arguably much simpler to write, and far more concise for their problem space.

Maybe if user stylesheets didn't exist, you could say it isn't worth the effort to implement them, as javascript extensions are a "good enough" solution for a somewhat rare circumstance. But actually removing the existing, standardized, portable, feature seems a tad bizarre... [It's hard to believe it required much code.]
Funny, and I always found it rather annoying that the examples in the Android documentation give instructions for Eclipse and not IntelliJ.
> , it is not an effective argument either.

danilocampos' post has no argument at all. It's just a carefully constructed pile of pathos.

I think the way to look at this is that America is an effective force multiplier. You can agree or disagree on the extent of its' success.
Wikipedia defines a real estate bubble like this:

"A real estate bubble or property bubble (or housing bubble for residential markets) is a type of economic bubble that occurs periodically in local or global real estate markets. It can be identified through rapid increases in valuations of real property such as housing until they reach unsustainable levels and then decline."[1]

The rapid price increases might be caused by speculators, but they could also be caused by the availability of easy money, as was the major factor in the recent U.S. housing bubble (bankers handing out mortgages to people who were poor credit risks). There was rampant speculation in a few markets (e.g., Florida), but the majority of people bought houses with the intention of living in them, not flipping them. The market collapsed when it became obvious that a lot of these mortgages would be foreclosed, and the easy money dried up overnight.

In the case of San Francisco, the rising market is also being fueled by a huge influx of money: the money coming from rising tech salaries. And I think the key issue in this market is sustainability: if housing prices rise faster than salaries, the number of people who can afford housing would decline, demand would drop, and thus prices. And if salaries rise sharply to meet the rising housing costs, the companies who pay these salaries will have strong incentives to start moving out of the area; if that happens, the demand for housing would also decline. No matter how high housing prices go, a company can't afford to pay an employee more than the net earnings the employee produces, so there's a real limit on how high salaries can go.

What does that mean?
Tim Berners-Lee might like to have a word with you about when the "web-based" internet came out.
Exactly. They kept an x86 version of OSX for many years until 2005 when they did the switch, so I would expect them to have several prototypes of hybrid OSX / iOS devices like the Surface that they are playing around with while looking to find the right formula, not to mention integrated Apple TVs og Apple TVs with beefier graphics cards.

Well, they certainly do, since the NSA have some public work on cryptography IIRC.
Injustice: "a quality relating to unfairness or undeserved outcomes. The term may be applied in reference to a particular event or situation, or to a larger status quo. In Western philosophy and jurisprudence, injustice is very commonly, but not always, defined as either the absence or the opposite of justice."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Injustice

Justice "is a concept of moral rightness based on ethics, rationality, law, natural law, religion, equity and fairness."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justice

An entitlement "is a guarantee of access to something, such as to welfare benefits, based on established rights or by legislation. A "right" is itself an entitlement associated with a moral or social principle"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entitlement

Criticizing an inherently moral concept on the grounds of a claim to morality is ... somewhere between irrational and ignorant.
Not too long ago, I took advantage of my large, corporate employer's training benefit and took a week off for hands-on Hadoop/Hive/Hbase training. My company required I get a cert as part of the benefit, so I went and bit the bullet to take a cert test.
The location of the cert test was at a local Westwood College campus. Westwood is a for-profit institution. This particular campus earns extra money by acting as a testing center for certifications.
The first thing I noticed was the staff was overly-numerous and hugely, unbelievably unprofessional. Despite an appointment made two months in advance, the staff member in charge of administering the tests was nowhere to be found. The staff member present simply told me "She hasn't called. She was here but she went to get lunch." This meant that I had to wait in the admissions office waiting room for an hour. What I saw deeply disturbed me.
Person after person was shepherded in, and guided through the entire student loan application process. The awful part was how completely, utterly unprepared and unequipped these folks were for any kind of academic learning. A young man came in desperately begging the receptionist for help with his Metro fare, telling her that he "had to jump the turnstile" because he couldn't afford to pay for the fare. He was in his 20s and was profoundly ignorant and juvenile in his behavior, at a level one would expect from a middle schooler.
I saw a lot of that. This institution has zero consequences if the hundreds of students walking around that campus are unable to get jobs with the skills taught to them. No, the burden is entirely on the student and the US taxpayer. These for-profit institutions have no admissions requirements. They are nothing more than a giant machine designed to pump subsidized student loan money into their coffers. And in the grand fashion of "iron triangle" style politics in the US, they have huge swarms of lobbyists crawling DC (financed with government loan moeny) to ensure they keep getting the government loan money.
