And you could say that file managers hurt productivity because they need you to focus on the file, after finding the specific one you were going to move. And then you have to wait for it to ask and focus your view on the option you were to choose, when you had the option to go with mv or cp in the first place and you don't have to navigate to the folder you need to copy the files either.
KING did not do very well at all...

Yeah, I hate it when people point out interesting things I didn't know before too.
Well. Denied further fruits of your wisdom, I can at least console myself that you will surely educate the variety of federal judges who don't understand the law as deeply as you.
10 years from now, we may not even be relevant as a species. I'm not kidding. Its unlikely it will happen that soon, but I actually believe that we will have super-intelligent AI within 4 decades at the latest. I think it is entirely within the realm of possibility for that to happen within 10 or 15 years.

I am looking at next year or maybe the year after that to see a massive surge in popularity and use of Polymer.

It's called the inner-platform effect.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner-platform_effect

DSL's are generally not turing complete. When they are, they tend to look more like lisp.
Around 50 people have those plans right now. Some recent items that have been shipped are: a solar powered cockroach, bacon candy canes, and a pedometer. I was planning on building a live stream of items being ordered, but I'm waiting on more users to sign up before implementing that feature.
Exactly. The reason I don't think it was Karpeles who did it is that his name is all over the place. He has (had?) a lot to lose if he decided to do something as brash as this.
The delete flag in the DB could be null or the date the delete was requested. You could batch the commit cleanup hourly giving a delete at least X hours before it's committed.
The thing that most inclines me to believe it is that, by my reading of the article (which admittedly might be reading to much into it), only a subset of MLB pages are using the ID. Hard to imagine why that would be the case if someone was simply copying code wholesale from the "victim" site.
Everything about that is dumb. If you need to test without affecting your numbers just have an alternate ID for tests.
How would the Event-Sourcing method work?
It depends on how you interpret “delete”. Most people seem to want to make it synonymous with “erase”, but it should really mean something like “forget”. In that case, it’s easy to see how you would implement “undo”: just drop all (root) references to the record(s) in question and collect as garbage at a certain time (in, say, 30 days).
That's most of the way there, but if there's sufficient amount of combined traffic, ad hoc reports will start populating from sampled data instead of showing exact results. This might prevent getting any meaningful data about e.g. how A/B test is performing when filtered to a specific segment.
As stated in the accepted answer :)

But yes, that was my immediate reaction, too. Not the most mindblowing Stack Exchange Q&A I've encountered on the HN front page.
Twitter introduces tagging on photos.

In the event you're talking about hydrogen sulfide (popularized via TED & Dr. Mark Roth), http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00858936 - their study was withdrawn by their own choice. The results weren't reproducible outside of mice.
I don't think so, since Drupal does many things that vanilla PHP is actually quite poor at - like getting away from the whole "each URL is a seperate file" thing.

Also, Drupal is NOT a DSL, even in the way, say, Rails is.
FWIW, the HN new-customer discount brings that down to $1200/year.

Probably ... 2x the price of S3, given the cost of data transfer which, for us, is zero.

It may not be for you, but some folks find phone support, 7d+4w snapshots, straight-up, native unix interoperability and 2 free physical delivery events per year to be compelling.

Cheers!
First you start treating each event/operation as a fundamental part of your problem. Each Event can then have a opposite reverting Event. So if you want to reverse an action, you can just apply the opposite event. You can also display a list of recent events that have taken place easily:

- user X modified article Z
- user Y deleted article Z (revert?)

Note that I've only studied this in passing, and have never applied this in practice, so I can't answer just how effective this could be. Also not really sure how this works when other actions have already taken place, or how you can detect if an event cannot be recovered from (if there is such a thing).

Indeed, even if you're colorblind I would hope they are able to read. As a backup if the first two fail, icons are a fallback - trash can etc..
Nearly 10% of men are colorblind, though not all red/green. It is by far the most common type though, and I'm red/green colorblind. A common misconception is that reds and greens are indistinguishable to people like me. That's not really the case.

Most reds look red and most greens look green. It's just that some particular shades of each are ambiguous. For me, the reds and greens produced by displays tend to be tougher to distinguish than natural hues, but the shades in the Stack Exchange question are as different as can be. It's tough to explain. It's also so subtle that many people with my particular type of colorblindness live and die without ever knowing the difference.

I only learned I was colorblind after being explicitly tested for it in 6th grade. I was pretty surprised! Though it did explain how I always seemed to mess up school assignments that involved coloring maps.
Fitocracy's Co-founder Departures from Day-To-Day Role
Wikipedia quotes a rate of 8% for men and 0.5% for women, for people with a northern european background. (This is for red green colorblindness).

It's a shame people don't check online sources before calling a roughly accurate figure "insane".
Weirdly enough, I find myself wishing that Microsoft had purchased them instead of Facebook. They've got the hardware experience, and they've proven they're willing to put their money where their mouth is with the Kinect. Never would have though that I'd be sad that a company I liked didn't get bought up by Microsoft...
On a side note, when I visited the blog, it triggered a Web of Trust warning because it got flagged as spam: https://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/websanova.com.

What I don't like about those who glorify failure is that they treat them as some sort of prerequisite to success.

Fail first before you succeed right? Wrong. I'm sure we all know of people who succeeded on their first try.

While I support the notion of persevering through failures that will eventually lead to success. Expecting failure at your first try is just wrong and might discourage people from even trying.
Making an action undoable often more than doubles the development cost of that feature. Google can do it, for a small startup it only makes sense in a few situations.
I'm looking at a couple Macs sitting around the house and they all have a pretty obvious # right above the 3. Perhaps you mean some other key?

Well, they're different markets. The full VR experience targets core gamers. The AR experience better ties into the modern mobile revolution.

Even if I weren't playing a fully AR game, I'd want something semi-transparent if I were playing on the train. Completely shutting off my eyes in transit would be weird.
We at VeriClock are using Twilio for our product (employee time tracking - the punch in/out by phone call/SMS component is where Twilio comes in).

As far as demand goes, we're seeing very positive uptake of the service. Pretty much everyone has a cell phone these days, so the value proposition to our customer (amongst others) is that there is no need to buy custom time keeping hardware.

When we were initially building this out, we evaluated Voxeo, Plum Voice, Twilio, as well as doing it ourselves with Asterisk.

Voxeo and Plum Voice both seemed solid, but looked to be targeting a different customer than a startup. Pricing doesn't start becoming reasonable until very high volumes can be committed to. Voxeo had a self hosted version of their product that was quite interesting, requiring a one time upfront cost and then you simply hookup your own VOIP connection. The cost was still going to be prohibitive in our case since we needed a large amount of concurrent capacity to handle a few hours of peak usage during the day.

Twilio was very easy to use, and the price was almost on par with the big guy's high volume prices, but without the need to commit to $50k/mo in spending. Those two things combined really made the decision. We were a little worried about the up-time, as the sales effort from the big guys tried to scare us away from Twilio. In the end uptime has been quite good, with only a few minor glitches here and there, usually localized to a specific carrier in a specific region.

Plivo was not around at the time. It looks fairly similar to Twilio, but I have not fully evaluated it.

Another service that looks promising is Tropo (owned by Voxeo if I'm not mistaken, and running on their platform). Its much closer to Twilio in pricing, and had a pretty nice API as I recall.

I would recommend one of those three for a startup - Twilio, Plivo, or Tropo. The price point makes it worth while. If you get traction and have a viable business model, and feel the reliability isn't quite there, you can try another service. But you risk very little money upfront.

I would love to hear other opinions on Plivo, Tropo, or other competitors out there.

Colours are fine.. Either way works although for my sensibilities the red works for the Delete button. I am red/green colourblind and the two have distinct enough values that I can easily tell them apart.

But I think YES and NO shouldn't be there. It's an extra piece of information that demands the original context of "Do you want to delete this album". It might seem like a small mental investment to ask of your users but people have varying degrees of comprehension at different times, whether due to temporary distraction or because of more permanent conditions such as dyslexia and such.

Instead I would just say "You are about to delete this album" And have the buttons read "Cancel" and "Delete"... Or something similar.

Undo would also be preferred as comex mentioned.. Or even better a git-like revision history so you can undo any action in the past. This comes with other technical challenges I'm sure but it's the most powerful solution.
And people complain that Google has bad support! At least you can be certain that there's no way an attacker can get the Google support rep on the phone. There aren't any.

Plus, Microsoft has had some great hardware on the market. Aside from high-end gaming/graphics peripherals (where other manufacturers excelled better than Microsoft), Microsoft hardware has always been top notch.

However, had Microsoft bought it, I'd be concerned that it would end up being some Xbox/Xbox-live only type item.
I mean, the title is kind of link-baity. But the article even answers the question:

"What about type inference, traits, vals, implicits, case classes, value classes, static objects, pattern matching, type variance, macros, immutable datatypes, lazy vals, existential types, higher-kinded types, type classes."

The accepted answer is pretty close to what iOS uses on its UIActionSheet control.

They use the concept of "destructive actions", and delete would fit the bill.

Destructive actions will show in red, and the rest shows in the default button color.

That may have been true a decade ago. Sadly there's plenty of money already to be made in treating MRSA, c. difficile, mdr/xdr TB, and (terrifyingly) VRE and VRSA.

New regulations on antibiotics is essential. The thought that it's not a good idea is outside of mainstream and defies basic common sense.

edit: sadly, I disagree with you. Drug resistance can and is driving new r&d because it's killing people. New drugs will probably be more narrow spectrum and lucrative, more due to the difficulty of finding effective compounds rather than any specific intent.
oniTony not sure what you mean exactly since this would just filter traffic to your own domain. This only works moving forward and usually is setup when a profile is created. Filters will not work retroactively with Google Analytics.

Would be happy to discuss if you could clarify your statement regarding A/B testing.
I'd doubt this. Hardware requires a supply chain and the suppliers try to sell to everyone, at least initially. The same guys that sell to Sony, sell to Microsoft, sell to Oculus, etc and there's a data exchange of 'what's coming next' in this manner. As soon as you know an idea is possible, reaching into the supply chain can help you link pieces together to get what you need (hardware, software, engineers, etc.) to create a working product.

I'd bet that if Microsoft knows about VR, cares about VR, believes in VR, they have working VR.
Facebook has been much more flippant with privacy policies and their use of data than Google has ever been. I only see unfavorable comparisons of google to facebook on HN and it really baffles me. It couldn't be farther from the truth.
I had a friend who had this happen to her -- some SEO spammer picked up the complete text of her blog and posted it under a bunch of different domains, full of hidden links.

It was reasonably easy to deal with, though; all you need to do is figure out where the sites are hosted, and then submit a DMCA complaint to the host's abuse address indicating they're hosting illegally copied copyrighted material. Legitimate hosts will take stuff like that down pretty quick.

There's two things the DMCA requires that they'll look for in your complaint before they'll take action, though, so make sure you include them:

1) The statement "I swear under penalty of perjury" that you hold the copyright for the material, or that you are representing the person who does; and

2) A list of filenames that contain the infringing content.

(If the host won't take action, you can file the complaint at whichever registrar the domain was registered through, too.)
One standard "undo" mechanism is to store a stack of actions (per user), with each action having a method to undo itself.
That is a very sweet looking product. What inspired you with the idea to create it? How did you validate the idea (I guess it's a no brainer if one works at a tech company) and make sure that you didn't end up building a product nobody wanted?

How are you pricing your product including cost? Do you take an average cost from using the API and factor that in or do you charge extra for increased usage separately?
Chromecast is quite nice for the price point, but if you use Amazon regularly, a Roku will get you far better mileage.

It's a system of government that says you are entitled to your opinion and your vote. It's not just about how you put politicians in office.

No. Neither Facebook should have.
That's interesting, but display name makes more sense than user name if we have a service that does not use a centralized server.
It is particularly difficult in a collaborative application with 'hard' links between records. For example, consider this scenario:

(1) Sally deletes an employee record

(2) Bob deletes that employee's department

(3) Sally tries to undo the deletion of the employee - will the employee be restored without a department?
Twitter was also down 7% today do you think that's explained by the Occulus deal?

The reality is the markets react to thousands of individual factors and often small changes lead into positive feedback loops. So, while the timing may be explained by some news breaking the magnitude of change is generally influenced by all those other factors.

When you say "MOOCs will only work if..." it really depends what you mean by "work." Does it make sense for the goal of education to be jobs?

Like you say, high quality MOOCs can really help people learn. The reason I mentioned MOOCs alongside basic income is because basic income removes people's dependence on jobs.
The numbers are just made up. The article says "mix of cash and private shares" but let's face it, that could mean $10 in cash. Lithium acquires Klout by giving Klout shareholders some fraction of the combined Lithium+Klout entity. Then they value the combined entity with an arbitrarily high number until everyone seems happy. This inflation factor is written down on the balance sheet as "goodwill" which is later reduced in value from billion of to zero dollars. Nobody is really harmed in this process.

This is pretty hilarious. Given how small the load can be to automatically contribute hashes to a pool for ___coin, I expect more of these in the future, but smarter. Runs for 5 seconds per minute on ten million devices for six months? That's no joke with some of the hardware out there.

It's this close to a victimless crime (that is, unless the victim gets their CPU/GPU fried, as has happened with these nets before). But what about apps that use spare cycles while you're plugged in, or above 75% battery, or between hours x and y, to mine dogecoins for charity? People would voluntarily submit to that!

Hey, I'm not sure what you mean by the radio.

But all I want is to view playlists containing a song I like.

So, let's say I search for "One Metallica". I'd like a button "Playlists containing this song" that would let me browse playlists of everyone who has "One of Metallica" in it.

And, if I may suggest a new functionality, what would be even better is to find playlists containing multiple songs.. So, "Please show me some playlists containing the song One Metallica and Pull Me Under of Dream Theater". I'm confident that these playlists will contain songs I like.

Personally I preferred that way to explore new songs instead of the radio thing.
I'm not the one declaring someone guilty of serious crimes because they "look guilty".
Beyond the other links, alt-music is out there and can be very good. E.g. http://www.ocremix.org/ (which makes free remixes of video game music, often in ways that add a ton of musical value above and beyond the track being covered).
