The script delegates to the GPG binaries where necessary. From the 'Using...' section:

"There will be a nice password input dialog using the standard gpg-agent (which can be configured to stay authenticated for several minutes), since all passwords are encrypted."

When setting up the pass store, you also specify the identity of a GPG key to use (or set of keys which may be used).

The 68 000 from Motorola was not "just" in the Amiga and the ST and the early Macs, it was also in the Megadrive, and in most of the early Sega Hardware in the arcades (Outrun and AfterBurner 2 had dual-CPU boards using 68000 in them). This chip was a wonder at that time.
The power of legacy
It's an interesting phenomenon that occurs on HN. It's fairly easy to explain. Each HN user that sees this post has a chance to view and comment on the post depending on his interests. A Python developer would be likely to simply skip this post, while a Go developer would be highly likely to view this post as he has an interest in using his Go knowledge on more platforms. That means we have a highly skewed distribution of people upvoting and downvoting comments on any language specific article.

For example, if there are 10 Go developers for every 100 Python developers viewing HN, in a thread such as this one, there may be 9 Go developers for every 5 Python developers. This means that a large percentage of viewers of any critical Go posts in a Go thread are Go developers. They will downvote that critical post almost regardless of content.

This is not a knock on Go developers, merely standard tribalism. There is an identical effect in Haskell, Ruby, or even Perl discussions. There is probably no solution - if you value karma, I recommend not posting critical comments about a language in a post specific to that thread. You should rather save those comments for more general threads about programming theory, etc. If you don't care about karma (and you shouldn't), then please keep posting.
This seems incredibly complex and described in an even more complex way, but I think you could accomplish most of the good from this proposal by having an infinity of potential instruments, issued by individuals, with the market sorting out the meaning -- e.g. PG General Liability IOUs trade independently of rdl general liability ious which trade differently from rdl newproject equity.
There's one problem here: by storing passwords in a series of flat files, you give away that a password to a given site or location exists. That alone can be data that a user doesn't want to share.

I use a similar (and old) solution using GPG for password management, however it differs in one important way: it stores passwords in a database rather than a series of flat files. If I combine it with private browsing, I can simultaneously store passwords for particular websites while not letting a random trespasser know I even visit them.

Thanks (creator here). Please be gentle on my server, right now it's rather overloaded ;). This particular demo is quite lightweight (2.5 MB), but some others are not.

It's all just static files, so they should load eventually, just it needs a bit of patience (I'm being pummeled right now both from here and Twitter).
Right, if pass had a way to have a mini-database within a file that would be great. You could still organise into multiple database files.

I guess you could do something with pass's multiline option.

What database do you use?
I've always thought the fiduciary duty argument was silly (and I'm not HN :), so I agree with you there, but that doesn't change the broader point - when you sell a company, it is no longer yours, and the interests and politics of a large corp with public shareholders and revenue targets are not those of a smaller acquisition.

Indeed they aren't, but who do you think designers interact with on a day to day basis? I think that the tech community's thoughts are important as they influence other tech people's thoughts and, therefore, might shift them away from reality.

Again agreed, which is why using metrics is a sound approach. You just have to make sure you're using the right ones.

> Another idea is to increase the number of stories displayed on https://news.ycombinator.com/newest from 30 to 120. At this point, if your submission drops off the first page of /newest then it's pretty hopeless that it'll be seen by anyone. Showing 120 stories at once will give good content more time to get onto the front page where more people will see it.

Or: show a random 30-subset of the newest 120 stories on /newest, and refresh this 30-subset per view/per time interval. Set this up to get the best of both options: at any point in time the newest 120 stories would be on /newest for someone, and there would only be 30 stories to look at for any one person. This will also give people more incentive to go check /newest once in a while, since they would, more often than now, find many more as-yet-unseen stories there each time.
I wouldn't confuse productive with officially supported - sometimes an unofficially supported tool can be far more productive.

I agree completely with productive though. Anybody choosing a language for any reason but the quality of the output is just wasting their own time. Nobody really cares what language you used at the end of the day, only what you produce with it.
Indeed something that looks simple from the outside has a lot of work put into it to get it to where its simple and usable. Great job and even better to hand it over to a set of people willing to carry on the work and ethos
^^ What s/he said.

I appreciate that the karma system and voting introduces a lot more complexity behind the scenes with regard to how the top stories are ordered than the simple "newest" stuff on top approach of most news or blog sites. But I don't see why that is allowed to 'break' the display. Irrespective of how you select your records from the database, it's fairly basic practice to paginate the results with some kind of begin=1&end=50 URL appending.

Also the 'expired link' page doesn't even display a link back to the homepage. So you have to either use your browser's back button [unless that link has also now expired], or manually edit the address bar URL, to get some content loading again.

My original question was of the type "Is this really badly designed, or am I missing something really clever?". I think I have the answer now.

I think the simple answer is being able to make decisions and think more critically about the problem and the business implications. Junior developers usually require very specific and structured directions to achieve something ( even though they may be incredibly smart), senior developers on the other hand can work with fewer requirements and fill in the gaps when requirements are not clearly define.
He wasn't even involved in the negotiations of Facebook taking control of Oculus, and Carmack expects us to believe that he or Oculus itself will have any sort of control once they are in Facebook's headquarters?
Daylight saving impacts the timing of heart attacks
Author of the demo here. Some background info about origin of the head model (of which my WebGL rendering is just a pale shadow, check following links for really high quality offline renders and also animation capture).

The head model was based on 3D scan using DIY scanning apparatus created by a single very talented person in his spare time - artist Lukáš Hajka:

http://pchiik.tumblr.com/

He documented his process here:

http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showthread.php?177615-DIY-Unive...

http://www.cgfeedback.com/cgfeedback/showthread.php?t=3776

At first it was just static model, later on he created a pipeline also for capturing animations:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgceFBMYvSU

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOV7wvMZFBs

Lukáš deserves most of the praise, the model is just great. Shading I used here is actually pretty simple, I used more complex techniques elsewhere yet the overall results didn't look as good as this model with a simpler technique.

Here are some of my earlier attempts, each using a different technique:

Data from the largest study of its kind in the U.S. reveal a 25 percent jump in the number of heart attacks occurring the Monday after we "spring forward" compared to other Mondays during the year – a trend that remained even after accounting for seasonal variations in these events. But the study showed the opposite effect is also true. Researchers found a 21 percent drop in the number of heart attacks on the Tuesday after returning to standard time in the fall when we gain an hour back.
But to use that money for something like that again, he'd need to leave Oculus. Ironic, isn't it?

Exactly right. Would Zuckerberg give himself the same advice he gave Palmer when trying to convince him to sell the company? My guess is he wouldn't.

I believe that Facebook's acquisition strategy follows Microsoft's 1990s playbook, even if that's not the conscious intent.

Facebook's core product is now in a similar position as Windows was twenty years ago. The near term will require pleasing shareholders by milking the monopoly, but the company is worried about missing future trends. To avoid that, they buy interesting startups with promises of independence. For Microsoft, that included companies like WebTV, Hotmail, Softimage, Bungie...

Compared to Facebook's acquisitions, Instagram is more like Hotmail whereas Oculus is more like WebTV -- a bet on an emerging technology that holds a lot of potential even though it's not obvious how it will integrate into the parent company's core product. (Yes, there was a time when "web on a TV" seemed like a revolutionary idea not unlike "consumer VR" today.)
Microsoft Pulls Fake Google Apps from Windows Phone Store
Nice write up. I'm surprised there is so much use of shell scripts. I usually do my best to avoid writing them and use them for little more then "stringing commands together". I guess not everyone shares my dislike for shell scripting and it's syntax.

Going back to the introduction, this comment:

"Linux kernel 3.10 release had 15,803,499 lines of code !"

This is probably a stupid question, but what's going to happen to the large low level projects in the future when these devs have retired. Is the industry creating enough young talent to take over the low level stuff?

I personally went through Uni without having to write a single line of C. Even with those that go through a Computer Science (instead of Development focused) degree, how many actually leave and choose C for their personal projects or use it in the industry?
Microsoft pulled six fake Google apps from the Windows Phone Store: “Hangouts,” “Google Voice,” “Google Search,” “Google+,” “Google Maps,” and “Gmail – email from Google.”

These apps were published by “Google, Inc” (instead of “Google Inc.”) at $1.99 each. The only app that the real Google (“Google Inc.”) offers for Windows Phone is its search app.

why is the ebook is not available for pre-order ? seems strange
If it seems unclear where the boundary line for patentability should lie, then it seems reasonable to apply caution and only allow patenting of that which necessitates it to ensure invention occurs at all. From what i can tell, that would eliminate 95% of patents. There is an argument to be made that patents harm innovation in nearly all industries, not just the software industry.

Which was a bookmarking tool, that enabled you to create your own scoring system with multiple facets. Like the Slashdot: Insightful, Funny... You can't have too many of these as it can get unweildy (probably why Facebook settled for the Thumbs up), but it could help. Especially for a community that sees the outcome value and are prepared to learn and contribute towards community moderation.

Up and down votes are so ambiguous that I'd almost suggest they are practically pointless. The 'Mee too' and 'I don't agree' votes really need to be filtered out into something else. Perhaps into a 'Consensus' facet. Add to the mix 'Topicness' : 'On topic', 'Off topic'; 'Niceness': 'Pleasant', 'Rude' etc.

Mother’s Day – A Chance To Realign Your Values
College is not just about finishing up your courses to start a job. College teaches you the skills to be successful in real life. Your degree is a validation of the courses you took but all the other courses are just as valuable in teaching you all the skills that you will need besides coding to grow both as a person and in your career. A CIS degree definitely gave me an edge when I started working in my field at 31 ( over people with other degrees in the same field and who had 10 years under their belt)but it was my other skills like leadership and understanding of the business that took me from a web developer to the head of a professional services team in just 6 years.

C isn't popular at colleges... and why should be it? So many more interesting, fun, crazy languages to play with... lisp, haskell, rust, ocaml, etc.

That said, once you are in the real world and you bump into your first real hard problems, the answer is often C. Need to speed up some Python, use C. Need to pour rocket fuel on your Erlang, use C. Need to run on an embedded device, use C. C tends to be low on surprises and most of them are exceptionally well documented and understood at this point. C tends to have decent libraries for whatever you need.

In certain open source communities -- you will use C because the stuff you depend on uses it. It is that simple.

I suspect the number of C developers is still relatively high, and while it won't be a primary / favorite of many -- it is the lingua franca if you will... lots of times stuff can be framed as a comparison to C, because everyone understands the context.
It would be great if you could allow users to flag inappropriate titles (linkbait / editorialized), rather than systematically reverting.
> FB has a well documented habit of arbitrarily changing those [privacy] settings without the user knowing.

This is exactly the reason why I am dismayed at the acquisition. FB has demonstrated repeatedly that it has a very cavalier attitude toward users' privacy, and wants to insert itself as an intermediary in everyone's communications so it can keep amassing data. FB also doesn't like people keeping separate personas, despite the fact that everyone presents a different version of themselves to their families, their coworkers, their Quake clans, their political parties, and the public. FB is like the friend who has no discretion about what secrets they share with whom; you can't tell them anything truly private, so they can never be a friend at all. Inviting them to watch everything you do on the Oculus Rift is a bad idea.

Well, I tend to agree with you that this a political impossibility. But I think it's worth thinking a bit about why you find it so outrageous. If the problem is "domain name registration might be unaffordable for the impoverished", what's the negative side to letting anyone at all have extremely cheap registration just by claiming to be poor? It's hassle-free price discrimination. Is it morally offensive to you when e.g. a company lets you use their software with prominent branding attached for cheap, or the same software, whitelabeled, for dear?

If the problem isn't "domain name registration might be unaffordable for the impoverished"... maybe it's worth thinking about what the problem is?
