Ditto. I had private repos on github, even, but moved to bitbucket because their pricing model made more sense to me. My bitbucket account looks equally empty to anyone that isn't logged in as me. That's excluding the dummy github and bitbucket accounts I have, just like the dummy irc and email and twitter and more accounts I have because some people are assholes and my real name (Jane) is so very obviously feminine. Oh, I can't forget to include HN in there too - I picked a very gender ambiguous username all those years ago for a reason.

Not to mention I can't actually share the code to a lot if not all of the work that I do, and I'm too busy elsewhere (a restaurant...) or dealing with impostor syndrome to share anything else most days. Hell, sometimes I have a hard time just opening my mouth to talk to other people because of impostor syndrome. But I code for a living, and I thought that was enough to call myself a coder.

But according to some people, including people I used to consider friends and allies of my very laid back feminism, nothing is ever fucking good enough for them so I don't really know what I am in the end. Amateur hour involving a part time restaurant owner that is clearly a fake coder and couldn't possibly have majored in CS in college because she has big boobs and she has other hobbies that aren't staring at the computer for the entire day? Gasp. I really have no fucking clue, why don't you tell me what I am? :|
Thank you! QSlider looks really cool as well.

Interesting stack. How is Firebase working out for you (since you want to replace it)? I only dipped my nose in one time and thought it could be helpful, also since there are JS implementations for the client.

The server that handles the routing between the devices is a simple socket.io server. No database at all for this demo. Pairings will be stored in memory. But yeah, it needs some sort of database later. Unless I want to restart the server every other week because it ran out of memory ;).

The data (commands) is en/decrypted on the client side and just passed through the server. The desktop first creates a connection and encryption key. These will be encrypted with the visual verification code and represented as the QR code (with a URL in front).

Once you follow the URL with your phone and enter the visual verification code, the keys are decrypted. The commands are then encrypted with the actual key generated by the desktop before it gets sent to the server.

That way the server should never get hold of the encryption key in any way. However, this increases attack vectors on the client side. I wouldn't control a power plant with it, but for clicking a button for a demo it should be enough :)
I believe her completely, because I would frankly be shocked in this day and age to see a company that didn't treat its employees like shit. Especially a Silicon "better-than-the-old-dog-chow" Valley company.

How hard is it to treat people with respect, to treat them--ya know--like people?
It's somewhat promising that the top-voted comment here was posted and reserves judgement.
What the heck is with the bottoms of the lowercase a, w, and t? Is it really supposed to dip below the line like that? And is the fi really supposed to join up in this font, or are they just overlapping and it's a happy accident that it looks like a ligature?

Overall it looks quite a bit heavier. I can see that working sometimes but not always.
2 questions:

1) cryptostorm would still have the ip the isp assigned a user. mapping this ip to a real name is trivial. right?

2) The cryptostorm team decided to remain 'pseudoanonymous' at this point. The points they outline (privacy activists get constantly hassled and threatened) make sense but don't help me verify the integrity of the service. You saying that you spoke to them and that they are trustful doesn't do much either. Why should i trust them? I know in the end i should trust no one, but your argument boils down to cryptostorm being outside of FRA jurisdiction?

You could argue that iPredator is not a real crypto/security vpn service in the first place. I think they are using 128bit encryption which can be cracked if enough effort is put into it. They are just making it more difficult, eliminating 'drive by snooping'.

Lastly: no offense, but that website is not very trust-inducing. i know it shouldnt matter but still....
This concept would be awesome as a tiny house.

My 7-year-old daughter just asked me the other day, "We can build a tiny house when I'm 11, right?" So I have another four years before I need to do something like this in tiny house form.
Maybe the common propensity for "moving on quietly" is what allows bad behavior to continue. Maybe if places started getting a bad reputation for treating their employees like shit--whether warranted or not--then every company would be hyper aware of treating people well.
That's what Ellen Pao did. She got shit too, including being fired. Let's see how it pans out for her.
This should probably be in the thread for the original program, but I didn't do it then, and I feel I'm missing out: my arrow keys do nothing, and NoScript is allowing the whole page. This is FF 27. Am I missing something?
wow, i can't really comprehend how the author even came near that conclusion.

And how does attaching a sensor to something make it zero margin? And how do car-sharing services, which actually involve money changing hands, become considered anti-capitalist?

What kind of rand-ian nightmare world does he imagine where people are going to be selling the humidity level of the soil in their potted plants.

at least it's just an opinion column.
Thanks for the share. I'm gonna have a look.
A lot of government information is tied up with individual privacy. For example, Census data isn't released for 70 years, for privacy reasons. I certainly wouldn't want the IRS to release my tax returns, or Medicare to release my medical records.

Of course it's easy to abuse the citizen privacy excuse to hide things that should not be private. But you can't just make everything public without causing significant problems, either.
Huh. I'm quite fond of my Galaxy S3, but I've got to admit that latency is often an issue for me. Perhaps it depends on what apps you've got going in the background?
The Cost of Aging Infrastructure
No idea, but I wish they'd work something out. Amazon video is now the most glaring omission on Apple TV IMO.

In a similar vein I wish Spotify had way more of a presence on set-top boxes in general. It's on Roku but nothing else, and it makes no sense to me. I'm intentionally not counting clients built into receivers or smart TVs, since those UIs are almost always awful to the point where I'd rather AirPlay the audio from a computer than run the built-in app on a TV or receiver. I could understand it not being on Apple TV, but I'd think that at a bare minimum, there would be a Spotify app for all the major game consoles.
Any idea why they got banned from adsense?
Natural Language Processing Applied to Meeting Note-taking
Really been impressed with Obnam's speed and ease of use for backing up sites/configs via ssh, with cron kicking things off based on the (relatively detailed) config. Look forward to testing the new release.

Took a while to initially decide between duplicity/rsnapshot etc., and so far I'm more than impressed. Cheers, Lars.
Alfred, love the project and effort. Everything looks great on my Mac.

On a current Windows 7 machine, Brick is much better than Google web font using Chrome, but both FF and IE v11 would be a show-stoppers for me, with random baseline shifts in the preview header making it look a little like a ransom note font.

Is there any browser compatibility lost by offering up only the WOFF format?
I have no idea what you're trying to tell me here. The person we're talking about is a troll. That's useful information, regardless of whether it bothers you.
Yeah I thought about using "vertical integration" but that's a pretty overloaded term at this point. Usually refers to existing businesses buying up suppliers/buyers to control production and pricing. I think "whole product" (from Crossing the Chasm) might also work. Happy to call it something else but I think it's useful to have a word for what's happening.
* Being unemployed isn't so bad.

Just a note, if you've only seen the movie but not read the graphic novel it was based on, try to find a copy! The movie only covers about the first 1/4 of the novel, which is more expansive thematically as well as in plot. In particular, the ending of the novel is much more ambivalent than the mostly simplistic moral of the movie.

(If someone is in SF I could lend it to them.)

If I press UP and only UP, it will have the 16's in the top row, 8's in the 2nd, 4's in the 3rd, and 2's in the 4th without fail. It then says GG 272 even though I have more moves.

Out of 3 times playing, it has some this 3 times.

The problem with nuclear is not the reactors - they can be reasonably safe with today's technology.

The problem is nuclear waste. No matter what nuclear technology you use, it leaves behind tons of waste that will be hazardous in tens of thousands of years.
Honestly, if Ms. Julie was _actually_ harassed I hope that she gets proper retribution in whatever form works best for her.

It's just that I seen so many 'false-positives' before that just made me roll my eyes and think, "that's not really sexism.".

She is accusing people and a very large company of SERIOUS things, I hope she actually has proof her lawyer can use. I want her to have a happy ending.

Small but significant win for Brick on Chrome (32)/Linux for me.

Ligatures (nice), better weighting and nicer tracking all around.

Very nice.

This is not helpful. Either there is a problem at Github, or there isn't. Couching it in terms of a general problem across the industry is not helpful.

Is the leadership at Github sexist? You can't just handwave that question away and say "Of course it is, it's a well-known industry problem.", when a specific event has caused that allegation to be made very public. Talking about the event in question gives rise to understanding, generalities and vague tweets do not.

I don't want to attack the messenger here, but all we have to go on are a series of tweets which do not, by themselves, present a very clear message. She claims to be harassed by the leadership for two years... whilst defending them to feminists for the same time? And then in the next tweet, it's only the events of one day which have caused a problem.

It's very hard to get a consistent story out of the information at hand, which is why people are asking for a better explanation. Since Horvath has made this public in the first place, I don't think that's an unreasonable expectation.
However, some people go to Walmart regardless, so the cost is amortized with a trip to get milk. China has a very competitive delivery market, and you can get milk, along with dinner, delivered fairly easy by guys on electric bikes. We bought a VIP card to a food delivery service, and have dinner delivered almost nightly during the week; what is quite funny is that the restaurant we get the food from is in a mall just 10 minutes away by walking.
Not jumping to conclusions is a form of jumping to conclusion.
Isn't this only about 100 years late?
Thank you for this. I hadn't really thought about it before -- "meritocracy" is not a word I can recall ever using -- but this is an excellent argument, and truly hits the nail on the head.

There is an ideal of fairness in hiring and promotion that is to be striven for. But declaring that one's organization has attained it is the height of arrogance.

Free Fonts for 2014
iOS devices typically have a much higher DPI than a "normal" (though this is rapidly changing) screen.

Because of that fonts often look far better and "truer" to their original intentions, Macs/iOS have always favoured fidelity over legibility (when pushed) so it is perhaps not surprising they both look good.
Full stack means better integration between hardware and software and hence a better final product. Apple has been showing us this for years. Their product set has always felt very polished and cohesive.

Plus, technology and programming languages have become very cross-stack friendly. For example: if you know JS you can (with some work) program a server in Node, your Db with Mongo, and client side with straight JS. Yes, there are some complexities but the basics are all the same. Furthermore, development costs for this are way lower than legacy systems that have never heard of aajax or a MVC.
What's a use case for having these on a Steam controller? Most PCs don't have analog buttons so I don't see why a controller made to play PC games would have them, though I guess the feature doesn't hurt.
I can think of a solution: enforce the law regarding gender harassment. Face lawsuits otherwise. Period.
That is a great idea! It could be like Uber for the delivery industry. Going shopping with your car? Want to make an extra few bucks? Deliver these bags back to about where you are returning anyways.
Ah, I wasn't even aware since I don't have Silverlight installed, and Amazon automatically fellback to Flash. I installed Silverlight to compare, but it crashes in Chrome and I get "Content Permissions Error (6023)" in Firefox.
I've been seeing that as well. Does not happen when outside of the js1k frame (http://johan-nordberg.com/2048/).

I think it is some hisenbug related to that js1k loads all entries by injecting the script in a iframes src attribute.

It seems like you're admitting that you don't know. Predicting the future can be tough, even when making unfalsifiable claims.
I've been harassed by 'leadership' at GitHub for two years. And I am the first developer to quit.

And

Julie Ann Horvath, an influential engineer at GitHub who has been vocal about the company’s increasingly positive culture for women

Hmmm. I don't think this is going to serve her well. So if you have been harassed for two years, why did you find the culture in Github positive for women?
Imgur is solving this by creating a "community" with comments and up/downvotes, so that user have incentives to open the full page and browse it (this is, by the way, one of the reasons why I don't like imgur at all). They also offer albums, which can obviously be seen only from the full page.

OP should look into adding things like that, some contents to encourage users to link/look at the whole page, and not only at the image.
Single issue commenters are rather rare on hacker news. When that single issue is non technical, they're far outside the norm. It's relevant for me to know if a commenter here is not a regular user.

I don't think this is a feminist/anti-feminist issue in this case. I'd want to know either way.
I have tried to light gasoline with a cigarette. After several hours of trying, I finally figured out how to do it. It requires smoking the cigarette with vacuum cleaner, while spraying compressed oxygen. You then get a small flame on the paper which will ignite the gas.

My tests suggest pumping gas wearing a sweater is probably more dangerous than smoking. Igniting vapors with a static spark is actually much easier.

If you car is newer than 2006, there is basically zero chance you are in any danger. The ORVR systems are a really nice piece of engineering that is mandatory.
Correct. They then realized that they could take the screen part of it out, and then they realized that they already have a touchpad on the left and right sides.

The team went over the full story in their SteamDevDays talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfN5WK7OzU8
I think that they are trying to find the lowest possible cost for current technology. Part of this is building their own factory, which is supposed to cut costs by, I've read, 30%. Chipping off a percent here, and a percent there, and making the process as efficient as possible could make things quite affordable quite quickly.

Thank you! Interesting applications. You could also do a multi device game with it. Or with the help of a browser extension control the entire tabs (eg. having one remote for multiple services).
Does it really work that way? My impression was that professors are constantly trying to raise money from the government. Instead of proving industry value, they have to convince bureaucrats that their ideas are worth pursuing. I think strong cases have been made that that's not the optimal way of allocating money for scientific research. For example: http://www.slate.com/articles/business/moneybox/2011/05/posi... (government funding is not good in pursuing wild ideas)
I'm sorry, but that is some straight 1984 blackwhite shit. There is no way around calling it that.

I don't know why you would employ a science adviser who thinks that physics isn't "sexy." It's damn sexy. And anyone who really understands even a small amount of physics will think that physics is "sexy."
I'm just saying it's a common silencing tactic in the inverse and you're encouraging its efficacy.
Basically, the 'check' to see whether you have any moves left isn't in fact whether there are moves left, it's just a simply 'if no more space for new block = game over'

The addition of the block being added no matter the move is an escape round the original (and obviously more verbose, probably why excluded) method of calculating moves remaining.

All in all, decent effort, but it's not 100% true to it's aim

You can request all subsets to include a font's ligatures with Google fonts.

See:
https://developers.google.com/fonts/docs/getting_started#Sub...

So if you add a `&subset=all` to the example page requesting from Google Fonts, they'll end up looking pretty much the same (though I think some things are missing in the example, like the swashes on the Qs).

I discovered this in reading the Lobster font's documentation.
I wonder what the earthquake/hurricane/storm strength of this stuff is.
my thoughts precisely
I often buy a single book, usually $11. I might buy a $14 book two days later, but I don't want to keep track, or buy more than I want to for free shipping
And on top of that, when you get to that point, up and down don't do anything. You should be able to combine those tiles vertically.
$5 a meal is perfectly reasonable. I budget for myself $10 a meal, but eat out all the time. When I cook at home, the cost is about half that. Even less if I wanted to eat Ramen noodles.
Capitalism is such a loaded word these days that it should be tabooed.
You say power systems are about power. A meaningless tautology but at least a true statement unlike most of your comments. Are you being purposely dense?

Under 80 lines is a problem.

Most of the designs that DHH doesn't like are from complicated applications that need to deviate from The Rails Way.

I built my e-commerce business with Rails/ActiveRecord back in 2006, when rails was at version 0.7.

For the first few years, I followed rails conventions religiously. There's a point where you have to outgrow them. And that legacy approach is a major pain now. Having a class that wraps a database table and contains all the functionality that accesses that table doesn't scale at a certain point.

But I'm not going to try to show those pains in under a couple hundred lines of code that someone can understand in an hour. Anything that can be compressed to that point doesn't need a complicated design.
The progressive media recently has been cranking out nonstop economic bs articles. Drumming up class warfare is the end goal. Divide and conquer.

I'm pretty sure the fi is supposed to be joined; if you highlight it with your mouse, it highlights as one character (though on copy-and-paste it's two, as expected).

OpenType fonts usually look a bit heavier, but I don't think it's a big issue.
