The data returned by Bing is limited. e.g. Bing does not return an image with it's results while Google does. I want to show 1 image from the page along with Title, Description, preview text. Bing has separate searches for web and image however the results are not from the same domains so I can't correlate results and associate an image to a web result.
Secondly Bing does not allow search across a limited set of domains.
Yahoo BOSS API allows search across limited set of domains however it's done by passing a comma separated list in the URL. This means I can't put 1000 domains in the URL. Moreover it's search results are in a similar format as Bing's.

Google Custom Search is the best option in terms of how it allows you to specify the domains you want to search in and save that as a custom search engine and then use the custom search engine's ID in the API request. Furthermore Google Custom Search's result JSON data is more comprehensive than either Bing or Yahoo BOSS.
I love the removable plastic back. Lets me change the battery, sim or sd card in a snap. Also I've used my S3 for a couple of years now, and dropped it a bunch of times, including on concrete, and there is barely any damage. I don't use a case.

Ha! That's awesome, you're awesome. :)
And, awfully-enough, even though Infinity is a required part of IEEE754, and happens all the time in Javascript, JSON doesn't recognize it.
I agree that ActiveX requirements are junk. I recently just bought a brand new DVR (released last fall) and that had ActiveX limitations.

I will probably end up rolling my own with Linux and Zoneminder.
How much of this is simply because of hobby-level or inexperienced builders, though?

When I was a full time EE, answers to questions like this were just a phone call away. The part manufacturer's FAE (Field Applications Engineer) were happy to answer questions like that ("what's a cheap, low-dropout 3.3V regulator that can handle 100mA and won't be on allocation anytime soon?") and would be around the next day with samples.

Even for our tiny company, we got excellent service. Hell, I had FAE's visiting me when I was working out of my apartment! Has that changed these days?

It's not correct that you need to trust Keybase. The way that someone verifies their social identity is by posting a tweet (or equivalent) signed with their private key. So you can look up someone's public key on Keybase and then verify that Keybase gave you the correct key, by checking the signature on their original tweet / other social verification posts.

Assuming you actually do this level of verification yourself (rather than allowing keybase to do it for you), the only thing you have to trust is that Keybase/Twitter/Github/Facebook/etc aren't all simultaneously colluding to give you a bad key. That seems to me like a reasonable assumption in pretty much all plausible circumstances.
that's great, but what's the "other issue" that you say the comic is about, if it's not about global warming (proven or not)?
Shameless plug, but I'm working on a similar mobile game : Mobbles (Our tagline is actually Google Maps + Pokemon) http://www.mobbles.com

I'm not that unhappy it's an April fool ;)
Can you document the api calls neede for #2?
Interesting, I didn't know that. I still need some way to produce the verification files/tweets for my own account, though, and currently the only way to do that is with the client. (Maybe it works in the browser if you upload your key, I did not do that for the same reason the post author didn't.)
How to Correctly Detect Credit Card Type
All of the 2048 variants in one place
We seem to have hit a real nerve here. I ask everyone to question their assumptions just for a moment. If you post a public key, you are letting the world see p*q. Is it insane to let some people see AES_k(p,q) if k is 256 random bytes? If you think yes, then you are making a strong judgment about the relative difficulty of two very different problems in Crypto that are thought to be quite hard. I realize there are issues surrounding coming up with good k's and keeping those k's secret; are these issues at the core of people's objections?

It seems you can contact Yelp and tell them how you plan to use their data and maybe they'll let you crawl their site.

Thank you both for your responses! I speak from vivid memories of frustration with that course. I didn't notice the bridge section you had put there.

I do really admire and appreciate what you're doing. I'm a self-taught web dev, and the most overwhelming part was just figuring out what to learn next. I'm glad someone is trying to solve that problem for others!
More work for us if it does. Consider it a form of job security.
Good question, thanks. I think I was conflating both -- but I think both apply.

The benefit of is-a hierarchies -- perhaps the only big benefit (to be weighed against all the other alternatives available) -- is that it solves for making the next 'adaptation' as simple as possible. It optimizes for the very next extension step. It is slightly less conceptually complex to extend an object than to composite a new feature.

It does that at the cost of complexity and brittleness. But in both the real world and and in source maintenance this is occasionally useful.

Let's say I'm a startup practicing lean and experimentation as much as possible. What I want is a framework that allows me to tweak things with as few steps as possible. What I don't want is to refactor every time I want to do an experiment.

Anyway, code I think generally should model our understanding of the problem space and the real world concepts in play. Extension is not a bad way to begin modeling that understanding.. Because growing the first steps (even though they will clutter because there is nothing encouraging orthogonality in OOP besides one's own sense of cleanliness) is often good for the growth of our understanding.
I think dmix wants to be able to get extended battery life without charging at all. Wireless charging still tethers you to a wall, and based on the wireless charges I've seen leaves the device in an essentially unusable state due to the requirement that it lie on the charging surface.
Innocence.

When people in the 1% prints a trillion dollars a year and hand it over to his cronies, it has nothing to do with working hard and having accumulated capital to invest and grow wealthy.

It has to do with theft, in a grand scale.

I can't speak for parent's use case, but wireless charging isn't going to do me much good at 35K feet on an airplane. A possible solution to parent's needs, depending on the use case, is a LimeFuel battery pack [0]. US$40, keeps my wife and I watching movies on the Galaxy Note and an iPad on cross-country flights with plenty to spare. I don't need a spare, swappable battery all that often, so something versatile like the LimeFuel (which can charge anything that uses a USB port) suits my needs better.

As a sidenote, I haven't found wireless charging to be all that anyway. It makes the phone thicker (either built-in or with a wireless charging case), and all it does is save me the two seconds it takes to put a plug in the end of the phone. I've got the wireless charging case for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and seldom use it.

False. Do you mean that performant games tend not to allocate each frame? That is generally true. Performant games very certainly do release memory, though their allocation patterns tend to vary - lots of modern games actually use a garbage collector of some sort, whether it's for lua scripts or for larger parts of the game code. Sometimes their GC is a weak form of refcounting, sometimes it's a conservative stack-scanning GC, sometimes it's a precise one.

Lots of modern 'performant' games are written in Java or C# and in those cases too, you have a GC and occasional allocation/freeing of memory, however they do tend to make an effort not to allocate from frame to frame or allocate temporary objects.

For console games it's definitely false that they don't release memory; memory usage has to be precisely controlled on console so subsystems that don't happen to be using memory at the moment are definitely not holding onto it - that memory's being used for something else.
Yeah, I saw that, and I believe it to be a poor design decision. They say, "The Agile Keychain kept some information (most notably Location and Title) unencrypted so that these could be used to search for or identify a particular item, while the more sensitive content could remain encrypted."

The Windows and OS X clients, as well as the Firefox and Chrome plugins, if not all of their software, doesn't allow this search to occur unless the database is unlocked anyway. So 1Password leaks the list of sites you are storing logins for, in exchange for zero benefit. Users with different logins to the same site will probably put usernames in the titles to differentiate those entries, so 1Password is surely leaking a lot of usernames as well.

The design document goes on to say, "the primary threat to 1Password users was thought to be from an attacker stealing the data once and pursuing an off-line attack. It did not anticipate an attacker who could tamper with user data that would be subsequently processed by the legitimate owner."

That was a reasonable assumption when the database was stored locally, but is not OK when you store it with an untrustworthy third party such as Dropbox. Their document talks about HMAC, but I get the feeling this is limited to the content of the encrypted fields.

Even then, look at files such as "contents". It leaks all kinds of sensitive information.

It also concerns me that 1Password data files seem very adhoc. Sometimes JSON, sometimes XML. The clients watch for file changes and re-reads automatically. It potentially exposes the app to malicious databases.

If I were assessing these applications I'd start by fuzzing these JSON and XML files.

Yep, Autodesk just recently announced that they were shutting down Softimage, after promising they would not shut it down post-acquisition. They are a plague on the VFX software industry.
Agreed. 99% of the time these big companies don't care. Also, use proxies.

if they come knocking on your door to take down the content, then worry about it.
Did you mean this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfezG5M2ICg, teaser when you mentioned a trailer?

I think you do it a disservice to say that it showed no promise - a mysterious force has transformed cartoon sheep in to other things, they don't know why, or who they are, one expresses a desire to go home. What happened, how, why; how will that cute little lamb get home? Seems to be on the right lines for a framework for an animated story: I assume what I linked was directed mainly at creatives rather than consumers.

The vast majority of people put their phones in protective cases anyway, even their beautiful iPhones. Putting a lot of effort into the feel of the case is something you have to do if you're Apple, it's something everyone else can afford to make a much lesser priority.

There's one instance in which we prompt for your PGP password directly, since gpg doesn't give us command line access to the needed feature: that's adding the username <you@keybase.io> to your public key if it's not already there. Aside from that, we never need your PGP password and just rely on gpg to prompt for it when needed. If you're seeing other prompts, it could be bug, please let us know!

Hey Steve, thanks for your work in this course. It's a terrific thing for you to do and it's my favorite course to recommend to beginners to webdev.

That said, the webapp2 decision is by far my biggest hesitation in recommending it. Webapp2 just doesn't have the community support; whether django is too "heavy" or flask too "light", they're both popular, which means they have great support, plugins, help on SO, and a lot of developers familiar with them.

Webapp2 also hasn't seen a release since 2012[0].

I write this having recently completed a small consulting project where I helped a team on GAE move from Webapp2 to django. The productivity gains just from using django plugins and builtins was insane. They had been on webapp2 because their dev learned webdev on your course, and I think he would have been much happier had the course included a more widely used framework. Lock-in on Appengine is also a major issue; the work to move off can be enormous, especially if you're using a framework designed for GAE.

Again, I totally understand the decision to use webapp2 and the course is still a huge net positive. But if you ever think about revising it, I'd recommend considering another framework, and possibly even using Elastic Beanstalk.

EDIT: I understand django can take a little more to get up and running, but most people learning Python are going to have to learn it very soon anyway. I learned how to program by doing the django tutorial, and didn't find it burdensome at all.

If I may try to split the difference: His argument applies much more when trying to do OO in JavaScript, because it's much harder to avoid using the parent class's data when you don't have private variables.
I understand the motivation too. My request is that there should me some option for crawlers to apply to be whitelisted. I know Yelp asks you to contact them if you want to crawl them and they'll decide on a per case basis.
It would be nice if there were standards that sites could implement to whitelist crawlers, create crawl schedules for whitelisted crawlers, something on the lines of robots.txt but with attributes that told a specific crawler when and how frequently they can crawl.
Chris and Ryan were my cofounders at Wufoo. When I heard they were going to do this, I was super excited because 1) it's going to be really entertaining and 2) they're going to be blogging again. They haven't written about startups since we were going at it on Particletree.com before Wufoo. The only reason I got into entrepreneurship was because of them. This is because they know how to make startups fun, which is something you can see in Wufoo's DNA even to this day. It's something I think a lot founders forget is the key to making it through in the long run.

Not sure who I'd put my money on, though. I do know it'll be a win for everyone to see them try this.
I find the lack of SIM tray annoying. To swap SIMs I have to remove the back, remove the battery, remove the SD card, and then I can finally get to the SIM. Then I have to be careful because SIM slots can break. Lame.
yes, sorry if that wasn't clear. What I'm saying is that we'll have them documented very shortly. It's a priority for us, which I believe will address the OP's issue.

We'll have documentation on:

- what needs to be in the signed statement

- how to hash the statement for safety on the platform you're posting, if necessary (twitter: yes, github: no, DNS TXT: yes, web domains: no, etc.)

- how to tell Keybase about the statement (API call)

- how to post the statement on Keybase (API call; this is needed in the scenario where it's hashed, twitter style)

These will all be proof specific, which is necessary for reasons you can imagine. Character encodings allowed, where proofs go, what length they can be, etc., what goes into a proof (username?), etc., are all platform specific.

But the goal is that someone can do this with software of their choice.
Mixergy 1,000th interview (Live) – with Jessica Livingston and more
URLs are not a scare resource. Having a specific (and in this case marketable) one is (and really only if that URL already has market value). I could make the same argument that MY car is a scare resource. Any car is not scare but MINE is.

If I already have a pool where you wanted one, you have to put yours somewhere else. If my car is parked the spot you want at the store, you park somewhere else. If I bought the last car of the type you wanted, you have to buy a different one.
That's the TLS standard for all of Suite B, which until recently was the de facto standard way virtually all software used elliptic curve crypto. It's not exactly a sketchy RFC.

The word "collaboration" is funny here too, given how the IETF works. These people shared a mailing list. Rescorla is perhaps the most experienced person on the Internet at turning TLS WG mailing list discussions into Internet drafts. That his name would be on any number of TLS RFCs is about as surprising as seeing Mockapetris' name on a DNS RFC.

An alternative to a cross compiler is to just use distributed compilation and set the current box to 0 so all jobs get distributed to other faster x86 boxes. In the past I regularly used this to build arm on a x86 and more fun building for OSX ppc on x86. ./configure and basic make stuff occur on the "slow" arm/ppc, but the actual build jobs are sent out to the farm for building.

Out of curiosity, what justifies the purchase of non-nexus (or Moto G) devices for the HN crowd? I have yet to find anything even remotely close in terms of cost/performance. I can't fathom paying 600-1000 USD for an unlocked phone/tablet when one could be had for 200-400, especially considering the rapid product iteration cycles.
Hi OP here, thank you for your opinions. I just wanted to say that I thought that I had "thought it through" but apparently I didn't, it was more complicated than I thought it was. This is not the first time in my life that I thought I had thought something through, there have been numerous times actually in all aspects of my life. A year or so ago, I watched a Malcolm Gladwell talk on TED (http://www.ted.com/talks/malcolm_gladwell_on_spaghetti_sauce) where spaghetti sauce companies thought they had thought things through, but really didn't it. Of course I could have spend lots of time reading books, but even then I might have missed this. I just wanted to share my experience and ask for any advice (not legal) just advice/tips in general from others who had been in the same boat. So far the comments have been excellent and invaluable. They have taught me many things I didn't think of before, but more importantly it will help others who might be looking or are doing that same thing I was doing already on my side project.

I've worked in competitive pricing before and have a little knowledge of how this works.

At all times, companies in competitive situations have a basic economic model they use for pricing. Individual sales reps are allowed to cut price to X level for orders above Y quantity, and if they want to violate that price floor they need executive approval.

Simultaneously, the companies have models that are dependent on competitive pricing -- that take into account some assumptions about price and how it affects market share. When a competitor moves in one direction, the executives consult this model to decide how to respond, but at least in the situation I was in, the final decision of how much to cut price was a seat-of-the-pants decision by the EVP of Sales.

By "model" I mean an Excel spreadsheet, but I'm sure Amazon is far more sophisticated.
Americans generally venerate the wealthy and aspire to be wealthy themselves. The bitterness you're describing is primarily attributable to the very real sense that the game is rigged.

Just as "urban" and "welfare" have become stand-in buzzwords for poor African-Americans, so has the term "1%" become a phrase for, not just the wealthy, but for those among the wealthy who have gained at the expense of others through financial engineering and other schemes. For instance, these same people grew fabulously wealthy by wrecking the economy and not a single one received punishment. In fact, everyone else bailed them out and they went right back to the same schemes and obscene paydays.

Then, there's the general truth that, while people are working harder, wages are effectively stagnant for many and an increasingly larger share of the rewards are accruing to a shrinkingly tiny percentage of the population.

So, I think it's a naive false argument to blame people for "hating the rich". What they really hate is being pimped.
I think this has now changed. Back in September they changed the way in which Dropbox sync worked, when Dropbox retired their old APIs.

Many people were left with iOS and Android devices that no longer synced. Annoyingly they had launched a new iOS app and removed the old one from the AppStore. Users were left with the only option to 'rebuy' the app again.

Many users were pissed by AgileBits decision to do this. They blamed the Apple policy of not being able to update withdrawn apps, but to most people that smelled of horseshit.

I think that all of their apps now use the new Dropbox API. Old versions of the 1password app on iPad still work, but don't sync. It isn't immediately obvious though until you look to use a new secure note created on the PC and find it missing on the iPad.
It wouldn't work. The crawlers that cause the problems are not the ones that pay attention to voluntary management systems like robots.txt.
This is one of the things about Microsoft APIs that gets me. They all depend on each other in weird ways that have less to do with practicality than they do with getting people on board to use the various Microsoft APIs. For example, DirectX depends on COM. It doesn't have to, but they're both Microsoft technologies so why not? You're going to need to learn how to use COM anyway; it's the future. Systemd is designed this way too; that's why I hate it, despite the fact that it won. It seems architected with a "getting people on board with using certain tools" mindset rather than orthogonally providing functionality.

But this... this takes the dependency tangle to whole new levels of comedy.
Someone brought this up to me:

"If Elon Musk wanted to revolutionize the car industry, why didn't he figure out how to recycle the materials of the existing cars into Tesla somehow? Instead of making more new cars? Sure, the new cars are more environmentally friendly and sustainable but that doesn't solve the existing waste problem."
