hm.. its been a while since I've investigated the issue. However, I don't think this is the case if the JS is loaded asynchronously faster than the rest of the page. I mean what is JQuery, like 20KB?

In my experience, JQuery is downloaded faster than most analytics tags/logic.

How to Consistently Fail, And What You Can Learn From It
Would Dorian Nakamoto's writing style still be identifiable if he had the Bitcoin paper professionally edited? If he had that done on-line, it would have cost very little.
Stem cells: Scientist asks for research to be withdrawn
The key is to have a well defined 'edge' between filled and empty areas - so that the high-valued tiles are on the corned away from the emptiness where 2s spawn; and low-value tiles are on/near the border.

Note that you can't afford to keep much unconnected duplicates - near the win point, you need to have 1024+512+256+128+64+32+16+8+4+2 which is 9/16 tiles filled already, so a few extra mid-value tiles cut your 'operating space' to near zero; so you must keep the high-values mostly ordered and agressively eliminate unneeded duplicates.
Can you explain this? How is it hard to package a statically linked binary into an rpm or deb? How can it be harder than a C program? Are you talking about creating -dev packages?
NT never really felt comfortable on under 128MB from my memories.
I can't connect to any Wi-Fi networks at all. This was an issue introduced by iOS 7. If a software update can break it, a software update can fix it. From what I understand the strain on the CPU from the additional processing required to run iOS 7 causes heat to become an issue for the Wi-Fi chipset.
That's what happens when you have the Pacific Ocean to dump the waste into.

2. I'm here at SX and saw the interview. Chris Sogohian and Ben Wizner were very focused in their questioning and Edward seemed keen to ensure his main points were conveyed. There really wasn't an opportunity to cover current Russian political actions.

It was a very interesting interview. Combined with the Aaron Schwartz documentary and a cross to Assange it's been quite an intense couple of days!

Hmm, I know that when we bought an email list for our target demo we ended up with a couple of honeypot addresses and an e-mail from the source asking who got the list from, complete with legal threats if we didn't assist in their investigation. This is cheap enough that if you have concerns about insiders you might want to set something like that up.
If it were simply hijacked and flown "to the edge of radar range" (whatever that means, given the military vessels tracking it in the area independently of the civil air net), you'd expect to see it fly to the edge of radar range then disappear.

But it didn't. The Malay flight disappeared within the radar range of at least two independent radar nets.

That can happen if a plane were bombed or disintegrated mid air. Maybe.
One cannot complain about the 'bad' companies being 'unfair'. It is a consequence of globalization. If, say, Indian_Software_Company A can do the IT overhaul of US_Retailer B at a price point cheaper than US_Software_Company C, then in a non-protectionist world, nothing should prevent Indian_Software_Company A from getting the contract. I am not a software engineer, so I do not know if Indian_Software_Company A is cheaper and better than the other, but such a practice is consistent with modern trade.

Now, in the context of TI, which is a typical 'good company', complaining about H1B doesn't make much sense. In all likelihood, a H1B TI engineer is paid as much or more than a US citizen/permanent resident TI engineer. In fact demonstrating fair wages is a fundeamental requirement for H1B applications.

Unfortunately, there is a lot hypocrisy in the criticism of 'foreign workers' in public conversations in America. The same voices in favor of capitalism also want protectionism in labor. It is likely that this hypocrisy (or confusion) underlies the political disillusionment of the TI engineer's wife [1].

Corporations submit to the shareholders. Those shareholders submit to the government, because let's face it: governments have real power in the form of men with guns. Different governments have different rules about how and when those men with guns do things, and yes, that is a conversation that needs to happen in the US.

This was a talk targeted at technologists. All technologists can do is try to make it harder for governments to collect data on the entire population at once by using secure crypto schemes. If they want YOU, they can still get you, because one man vs. a government is never going to end in the man's favor.

The Other space ballooning definitely coincided with the music syncing bug. Before that it was a barely noticeable sliver in the space meter.

As far as App Store, that one actually runs well for me. It's only the music store that sucks.

It's all really hard work and a winery is likely even more work. You need to always be watching the grapes, you have to hire seasonal workers to pick the grapes (actually not much automation in this area) plus the unpredictability of the weather.
You are also more directly exposed to your crop. Brewers have to deal with hops, but grains aren't a big problem.

Sorry, more straw man. You have taken that claim out of context.

Android forces the user to do power management where iOS does it for the user. If the user is involved where they don't have to be, that is inadequate.

Nothing you have said contradicts that.

I only dug out these clocks over the weekend and tweaked the home page a bit before posting it here. I haven't touched the actual Javascript or svg in over 5 yrs!

I initially posted them so they could be used with iGoogle gadgets (remember those?)
The original clocks where hosted on Google sites (just to show their age :)) https://sites.google.com/site/clockamatics/

If I had to guess, that magic number is some sort of compensator to smooth out the animation, but I honestly don't remember...should be a lesson for why code should be well documented:)
Just in my experience, it's quite easy to get an app published on the app store.

I actually wish Apple's reviews were more stringent. As it is, many low quality apps still make it to the app store.
I am still on iOS 6.1 on my iPad2. It's fast and looks nice. Beside the design change, v7 and 7.1 are more a minor update.

How fast is iOS 7.1 on iPad2?
For me currently, I would love to see iOS allow the default browser to be switched. I use Chrome on my iPhone but all links open in safari. Frustrates me to have multiple tabs open in multiple browser apps. I also don't want to switch from Chrome since I use it on PC and home laptop so my bookmarks sync.
This looks awesome. Really excited about Vagrant Cloud. Wish it had the option to sign in with Github but still looking forward to it.

Great work Vagrant Community and HashiCorp Team!
I have some interesting results.

The first time I played the game I scored around 3000 points. After that, I tried to slow down and focus on keep the same kinds of numbers together, but after that, I couldn't get past 2250.

So I wrote a script that used Math.random() to hit the array keys continually, and the score was much lower: 1000.

Then I tried the sequence RIGHT UP LEFT DOWN over and over instead of Math.random() I scored significantly higher than all of them, in the 4000s.

Does anyone know why this might be?

Nice work! It's very cool that you're breaking out components into nice standalone Go libraries.
My opinion is that any company building an API should run at least one bug bounty on it before releasing it to the public.
This simple game really shows how amazing the human mind is. I've never played any variant of this game before and when I first started I was blind to the mechanics of how this worked. I was moving so slowly and would fill up the board quite quickly.

After playing this game for 2 hours now my fingers are moving faster than my conscious mind can really follow. In my last game I was doing combo moves taking "2" blocks to "64" blocks in mere keystrokes. I've been surprised several times when things work out.

Unfortunately Android is unambiguously not open.

If you want to make an Android device, you must sign up to a restrictive contract with Google.

There is an open source subset of Android called AOSP, which you can use as a basis for your OS, but Google prohibits these from being called Android.

No Android system is open.

Coffeescript has similar functionality. From the Coffeescript docs:

OPERATOR = /// ^ (
?: [-=]> # function
| [-+*/%<>&|^!?=]= # compound assign / compare
| >>>=? # zero-fill right shift
| ([-+:])\1 # doubles
| ([&|<>])\2=? # logic / shift
| \?\. # soak access
| \.{2,3} # range or splat
) ///

When turned into Javascript it becomes:

var OPERATOR;

OPERATOR = /^(?:[-=]>|[-+*\/%<>&|^!?=]=|>>>=?|([-+:])\1|([&|<>])\2=?|\?\.|\.{2,3})/;
A/B testing new features for iOS and Android apps
did I really get a downvote for asking why?
wow. tough crowd.
What does 'orders of magnitude more advanced' mean? I would associate 'more advanced' with higher levels of abstraction. The fact that Android allows filesystem style access would make it less advanced in that sense.

A unix shell is highly customisable and powerful in the hands of a knowledgeable user, but I wouldn't describe it as advanced.

C++ is a very powerful programming language with tons of features, but I wouldn't describe it as advanced.
Figured it out. This particular clock only uses the hour hand, but because it's a 24-hour clock, the math required is different. It looks like this snippet of code was reused from the others (12-hour clocks). The design was updated to 24-hour, but the math for the hour hand wasn't. Fortunately, the math for a 24-hour clock is simple:

360 degrees divided by the number of seconds in 24-hours (86400) gives you your rotation value: 0.004166666 degrees of rotation per second.

Now all you need to know is the number of seconds that have elapsed for the current time:

hour_rotate_angle = (0.004166666*((tDate.getHours()*3600)+(tDate.getMinutes()*60)+tDate.getSeconds()));

If you replace lines 58 and 92 with this code, the 24-hour clock works.
I imagine, it might depend largely on what you're specifically looking for: configurability, design, turn-key readiness, drop-ship integration, sales tax automation, responsive support etc. If you have a preferred payment gateway or would like to use your own custom SSL cert, that will impact your choices as well. In the meantime, take a look at Volution, Bigcommerce, Corecommerce, Squarespace, Big Cartel, and Storenvy. If you're looking to build something in-house: check out SpreeCommerce and Magento.
GM is an interesting addition to the list. They have seen some small integration with Siri in two models. However there was an article about CarPlay the other day and it sounds like GM is going away from Apple integration. (http://www.autonews.com/article/20140303/OEM06/140309988/app...

The fatal fact about python and python 3 is, that python 2.7 seems to be considered a convenient and stable plattform by its users. A dream come true for all the "prudent" folks out there who do not want anything to change.

The lesson learned will be, to implement changes more incrementally so people are gradually upgrading instead of having a high step.
It's entirely better than iOS for openness. As an app developer, it's dramatically more open -- you can override the core functionality of the OS if you want (browser, mail, etc.); you can't on iOS.

I'm willing to tolerate the closed nature of iOS for better security and (personally) an interface/hardware I prefer. But stuff like blocking Bitcoin apps is making me question this.
While I'm never one to stand in the way of tinkering, I'm curious as to why you chose FF7?

There are many open source implementations of PS1 emulators, and the PC version of FF7 is notoriously bad. So from a gameplay perspective, the PS1 version of FF7 is far easier to run an any platform, and is superior in all respects.

Like I said, not discouraging it, just curious.

It's been obvious since the 90s that if the internet fulfills half of it's promises that nations would seek to control it.

Anyone who thought that the internet wasn't going to have state actors and control, also must think that the internet would never be important.
I don't see why you're parsing "knowingly and willfully" as including knowledge of the matter being within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch, when the sentence is not structured that way.

Thanks! We look forward to integrating GitHub – there's a ton of cool stuff that can be done, as it's very common that a box maintainer has Packer templates, configuration management scripts and so forth there.

We didn't go the OAuth route primarily because we need to enable `vagrant login` locally, and for that it's useful to have a login/password combination, authentication tokens. I couldn't think of a workflow that makes this as easy for a user.

"Maybe he thinks pretty much all governments have been trying to spy on everyone they can for some time now and none of them have so far perceived significant legal, political, economic, or moral deterrents in doing so."

I think that's it. Clearly enough to eject drink from nose
to suggest that something that is essentially a secret activity
will be stopped merely because the US doesn't do it anymore.

Will point out though that in reverse maybe not as true.

In other words it's quite possible that something that you perceive someone as doing
that you hadn't thought of then becomes something that you contemplate.

Let's take an example.

Red light cameras. You see it done in one city and so
you say "hey we can do red light cameras".

A bit later another city (say NYC) decides to remove red light
cameras (assuming they have them I'm using NYC as "well known and large"
for the purposes of this example). Doesn't mean other cities will
stop (once the cat is out of the bag or the genie out of the bottle etc.)

Ask HN: What advice do you have for a discouraged, mediocre engineer?
I'm currently a software engineer at a relatively BigTechCo in the bay area. Recently I've been really wanting to get my foot in the door at a startup [or just a new opportunity in general] but coming to an unfortunate realization (okay actually I probably already knew this beforehand), that I'm a mediocre engineer at best but actually closer to a subpar engineer.

I've done a number of interviews recently, mostly phone screens but I've even got on site for a small handful but the outcome is always the same in each case, they decide to not move forward. And this isn't just the fact that I get nervous and anxious doing a problem on the whiteboard or typing out a solution on a shared editor, but I've even gone through processes where I need to do a small coding challenge, etc.

I've become really discouraged by all this but the most I can do is keep trying/practicing. I'm even kind of surprised on how I landed at my current gig since they were also on the fence too I think but decided to give me a chance (and since then I've always gotten good reviews from management, peers, etc). So I do think I can bring value to a company (quick learner, productive, good communicator, etc) but I'm not quite sure how I can show that since my technical abilities just aren't up to par and thats the main/only focus during interviews. Just reading through HN sometimes, a lot of the things that people say or talk about, go over my head despite having a BS in CS.

I've done things like tried to get small projects up on GitHub and build a small portfolio but the problem with that is since I'm trying to self-learn a lot of things I'm not sure I'm always following best practices, which in my eyes is kind of hard to get a hang of when doing self learning. Not sure its conveying anything positive to potential employers.

Any advice for a mediocre engineer?
This strategy worked quite well for me up until right around where you got to, 11532. Certainly much more effective than just trying to wing it without a strategy.

Presumably all governments already consider themselves to have a green light for mass surveillance.

All the same, I do think it's possible for someone to take a lead in allowing their citizens privacy. And even if that isn't possible, surely there's virtue in a democratic discussion about the reasons we all have to be surveilled.
