Hi f00_4, typically being greedy means 'capital accumulation' or wanting more 'respect' in a field or say athletic, sexual or intellectual prowess. Behind the desire is a desire for a cessation of anxiety or insecurity, e.g., if I become rich, then I want to travel the world.

However the paradox, IMHO is that limitation is freedom, pain is joy. There is no bigger prison than having unstructured and unlimited amount of free time and capital. Personally, if it was up to me, I'd just wither away while playing Dota2, snort cocaine and numb myself with a personal harem of courtesans - which is just a dramatic device for what people in Western society do to "take the edge off" everyday.

Without pain, we can't appreciate joy. The desire to escape pain and anxiety numbs our entire existence. I'd weave a self-narrative to "redeem" myself at the end of the tunnel, at 15 I'd become the next Kurt Cobain, at 18 the next Great American Writer, at 21 the next Mark Zuckerburg, at 25 the next AirBnB 'Software is Eating the Traditional World' entrepreneur, 27 the next Enterprise Software entrepreneur, 35 the next technical architect at a respectable software company, 40 the next C-level executive and amassing sizable personal fortune (all the time scaling in my personal and social relationships, of course).

It is more liberating IMHO to accept my mediocrity and limitations. Than adding more layers of self delusion materialistic or intellectual or moral to get further stuck and perpetuate more lies. There is sometimes more joy and self-acceptance in a condemned man than a man condemned to the routines of capitalism. Not that kind of 'navel-gazing' self-denial seen in Western Zen monasteries, but the man on death row has finally ceased the struggle due to the gravity and starts to live.

The years pass by and the day is forever. There are fishes to be skinned and rice to be cooked and after eating, dishes to be washed studiously. So excuse me, I'm gonna go off and put the dishes in the dish washer.
I'm on the Dart team and I can honestly say that we're working very hard on this.

We simply have a harder problem to solve than TypeScript (different features and semantics, working with the VM as well as compiling to JavaScript), so it's taking longer, but we're aiming for nothing short of awesome and seamless interop.

We already have dart:js, a low-level JS-interop library that works in dart2js and with the Dart VM. Admittedly it's a bit cumbersome for developers to use, but it provides the building blocks that we can use to make TypeScript-like Dart interfaces for JavaScript libraries, and to export Dart libraries to JavaScript.

It's great to hear about a project like DefinitelyTyped, because once we have the support in place, we're going to need something very much like it in Dart.
There's a lot of noise on that bug but not a lot of action for 3 years now. Is there any kind of escalation process you (and others) could use?
How good is the support? I ask because last time I tried HyperV I had lots of really lame issues. Like breaking the CD-ROM drive access and their workaround was to copy over an ISO and mount that locally or something like that. It felt like Linux was an unfinished offering. Yeah, I mean it ran... but not well. I figure some of what I ran into was user error since its a new tech to me but I've talked to a few people who have had serious HyperV issues so I'm not going to take all the blame.

I bring this up because I'd imagine those Linux VMs are sitting on top HyperV. I'll be very happy to hear that my fears are unfounded and they run great though.
Lots of people build up massive amounts of technical debt by using the wrong things. Things like mysql literally hold back progress. "Stop using garbage" is an important message to spread.
And someone else could just say that the people arguing in favor of gay rights are the oppressor, and the argument has gone nowhere.
I really hate the spinner for all the date selectors on iOS - it's cute, but a keypad is way faster.
Thank you for your reply.

But anyway, adding them to your repository, is development domain, right?

How do you handle adding modules with binary to your repository? If you're using Windows to develop, and Debian to production, what is exactly you pre-deploy preparation to fix this?
blekko's "ScoutJet" crawler is allowed to crawl yelp. We sent them an email before we launched, and they were nice enough to allow it.
Many Random Oracle crypto proofs assume a value is random and then substitute in something that's not quite so good, so I think it's a valid thought experiment. And some passwords do have 256 bits of randomness (i.e., ~15 random words from the dictionary). I think we disagree on what margin of password security we feel comfortable with.
Sort of starting to feel like all the crappy Bitcoin-specific businesses are about to get replaced by their "normal" equivalents who will just suddenly start taking Bitcoin. Much less disruption than new privacy/security/anonymity focused companies who were early Bitcoin adopters replacing old institutions, but much more likely to actually work.

Kind of the equivalent of NYT becoming a major website for news, rather than something organic to the Internet becoming the main news site of record.
That's how it works for the vast majority of people, who believe that moral truths exist as real attributes of humans or the Universe. Their own morals are right, and all other morals are wrong.
Thanks for the answer.

I never play video games, so the 30hz refresh rate wouldn't be a drawback for me, and I already have my 27" monitor set almost 3' away from my viewing position. It would be much easier for me to come up with $700 for a new monitor; $1400 to $2100 would be out of reach.

I would really like to see how well a tiling window manager would work with a screen that large.

He materially supported a campaign to deny rights to a subset of the population. That action, not belief.
The reasonable use case for this seems to be that you'd send a request for payment as part of a payment processing system.

So, user is on your site wanting to buy something, selects "pay with coinbase", and you ask for their email, then send the payment request.

In that case, you'd want to know that the email isn't in Coinbase's system so you could tell the user that the request didn't work, and can they check their email address or try another form of payment.

A reasonable way to limit this would be % of attempts that fail. If you're using this call reasonably, then the ratio of success to fail calls should be in some reasonable range. If it's too high, either you've designed a very confusing interface for payment, or you are doing something fishy.
Threatening people's business doesn't promote civil discourse, it stifles it.

Aren't helmet and seatbelt laws the perfect example of behavior that is a personal decision not affecting others?

Seriously, what isn't a lifestyle choice? I don't get it...

If I prefer unpasturized milk, isn't that a lifestyle choice?
If I want to smoke pot, isn't that a lifestyle choice?
If I don't want to wear a seatbelt, isn't that a lifestyle choice?

Couldn't the statists just fuck off and let people make simple decisions like who they want to bump genetalia with, or what kind of milk to drink, or even gasp whether to wear a helmet or not?

The highly ironic thing is that in my jurisdiction we force people into marriage whether they like it or not automatically. That said we're forcing gay people to get married too so at least it's across the board imposition of non-consensual relationships.
There's no need for the user to select it. Just collect the numbers and send it off to your payment gateway. If the card type is unsupported, which would be rare for anyone using a standard gateway that supports all major cards, then display an error message.
If anything the price should go down. When people buy things with bitcoins they are effectively selling bitcoins transitively driving the price down. If you want the price go up there have to be incentives to buy stuff with bitcoins such as lower prices. For many people it is cheaper to use bitcoins because they bought-in early, but that would be equivalent of cashing out their position and exposing their identity to the merchant, which most of the early adopters either don't want to do or would have done already when it was more favorable.
The self-curation is a great idea. It's something we want to implement on our own find-a-designer site (Folyo) down the road.
Yes, AWS can be metered and charged automatically with Amazon DevPay. One potential issue with DevPay is that a customer cannot open multiple accounts on your service with one same Amazon account.

you're gaining almost nothing by separating them.

This isn't true at all. jsmith+coinbase@gmail.com can be easily guessed by someone doing a spearphishing attack, either directly against you or indirectly against you using a vendor. Read this to see a real world example:

http://www.wired.com/2012/08/apple-amazon-mat-honan-hacking/

If the person who was hacked in that article had a unique email address at Amazon like mnmnmnmnmnmnmn696969696969@gmail.com then the attacker wouldn't have had any place to start the conversation with Amazon over the phone. Security by obscurity isn't perfect, but in many cases it does put up enough roadblocks to make someone give up.

If you use your technique, someone can also send you a spearphishing email purporting to come from any vendor that might fool you. On the other hand, if you get an email from Amazon to your Coinbase account it will be readily apparent it's fake.
But in order to use Availability Sets, you MUST use their load-balancer thingy and share a single IP address. Meaning if you want to individually address each server, you've gotta get creative with port mapping. It's very annoying.
I would recommend www.folyo.me. I posted a job there recently and got 20 high quality leads.
What I've been told is that 56 bits is pretty close to its actual effective security in the presence of differential cryptanalysis. So the key length was 'right sized' and it ended up having truth-in-labeling after all.
Microsoft has always been terrible at branding. Is it 'Microsoft Azure' or 'Windows Azure' it is both ways multiple places on their site.
I don't know if it's related or not, but their website is running horribly slow right now. Took me about five minutes to initiate a buy order, as most clicks were non-responsive or took ages to load.
They only filmed for one day. Also, it sounds like the developers did not want anything do to with the production company afterwards based on how they rejected all potential fixes.
You're right, that is generally a better option these days. Unfortunately, it still does suffer from the same problem, to some extent. Settings are sometimes renamed, and then it takes some time and effort to track down the new name, assuming the setting (or an equivalent) still even exists.
I don't know what you mean by "stories are cheap" but popular movies with great, unique storylines are extraordinarily rare (yes, that's equally the audience's fault). Most top grossers are sequels or derivative of other properties (comic books, teen fiction, etc).
I like the way you describe your ideal ux prototyping flow - I happen to have created something that works quite similarly: https://github.com/splatcollision/shorthand.js

Would appreciate your thoughts on the syntax, etc. I describe it as "Like markdown for jQuery"
There's no one-size-fits-all answer to your question just as there isn't to questions like why someone wants to be a programmer, or a startup founder. The micro-motivations of individuals doing this sort of work can be all over the map from person to person.

But as someone who very occasionally does such things (but isn't looking to "make a name" for myself as a security researcher, which is often a motivation):

1) The initial motivation isn't so much about documenting security flaws, but finding them in the first place. It is a very hands-on immediate-results-oriented type of problem solving where you look at a system that is intended (or should be intended, based on what it is doing) to be secure and find ways in which the security is lacking.

2) From there, informing the company is just about being a decent net citizen. If you can work around their security from the outside, other (potentially more nefarious) people can too, and in most cases the company simply doesn't realize they have a security problem, so informing them is good for everyone.

3) From there, if they refuse to fix the problem and it is very legitimately a security issue, responsible full disclosure (with a solid window of not talking about the bug publically, I go with Google's 60-day window as a guideline) is about being a decent net citizen toward the product's users (if not the product's company). If they have gaping security flaws in their product that they won't fix, users who could and likely will get screwed by them deserve to know so they can make an informed decision as to whether the company they are using is adequately protecting their interests.

But as I said, everyone is different, for some people they are mostly resume building a collection of public CVEs on their way to a security research position, for me it is just a fun very occasional hobby and I've not publicly disclosed a gaping security flaw since the mid-1990s because most companies will do the right thing in fixing real security issues if poked a bit these days.

Church weddings are always about symbolism.

Church weddings are a different thing than gay marriage, though. My personal opinion is that anyone who wants one should have one. But at the same time, churches have to have the right to discriminate on memberships and services. I don't think they should refuse gay marriages, but if they choose to do so, that is in fact their right.

Church Of England is its own special beast, and probably shouldn't be allowed to refuse gay weddings. Messy topic, but that's what you get for mixing church and state.
Totally off topic but I really need to say it, a good example of bad wikia behavior was the unofficial guild wars wiki, that went down in quality and lost a lot of contributors when it moved there myself included, they forced a terrible layout just because they wanted ad space everywhere ruining the experience.

Not sure what religion you're referring to, I'm aware you were using the parent's words but you were using them. So what religion do you think influenced your grandmother to be racist?
I thought the evidence was pretty clear that Diginotar was pwned by the Iranians.

Those certs did end up on the .ir national ISP's firewall doing man-in-the-middle attacks on Gmail users within Iran.
You may want to look into the principles of common and natural law...

Pretty much every law in the common law system, including the constitution, is a law that denies rights to subsets of the population.

The only question is whether you are in favor of such regulation. I'm personally not in favor of regulating homosexuality or marriage.
Where Is IntelliJ IDEA Headed?
It gets even better than that if you're in an approved accelerator / incubator: you get $60,000 USD in hosting credits, at a rate of $5,000 a month. We're entirely hosted on Azure using their Linux VMs and have had a great experience with them so far.
Is it right to not employ someone because of their legally held beliefs with regard to sexual behaviour?

Is HN [amongst others] calling for all people who disagree with legislation on homosexual relationships being called marriage to forfeit their rights to employment; or perhaps all those that consider homosexual sexual activity to be wrong? That seems like the logical conclusion here.

Is this going to be continued with all beliefs - ousting those that disprove of drunkennes or drug taking or polygamy or adultery?

Why should a company pry in to an employee's private beliefs and associations in the way you're suggesting?
Ever so slight mitigation of this is that Coinbase uses SPF, but they use SPF with a fairly open list (just phish via Amazon SES, Mailgun, etc.). So phishing mail has some chance of getting marked down as spam by recipients if you make it appear to be from coinbase.com.

I'd probably go all-out and send from coinbasemail.com though.

The purple writing is really distracting.
Mostly is as good as not at all though. Yes, you should stop using class hierarchies. Composition is the path to salvation.
If you have connect to their server(s) to use it, the trial period shouldn't be based on time/date; but rather, on "time-used".
> "Posting a project on Folyo costs $99."
Is a bit of a turn-off for small projects where design cost will likely only be $400-500.
Thanks for Folyo. It was my first time hiring a designer and I am very happy with the results.
Not to mention that if anyone is unaware the NSA is watching, they will make pretty terrible criminals. The proof has only emerged recently, but it's not like anyone actually thought the NSA wasn't spying on its citizens.

That could probably work for developers.

All the freelance sites I use have the option to link to github, stackoverflow and others, but not do anything with that.
In this case it is a lot of services to nickel/dime you. And your user account list is often the most valuable part of you applications data. I don't want that in the hands of another company, or subject to DNS outages.
My biggest problem with hiring designers like this is that it encourages designing for other designers, rather than for the customer. I want a designer that prioritizes something that's easy to use and obvious, rather than something that screenshots well for Dribbble. Sometimes those two goals can align, but not always.
It's a valid point but phrased oddly. He could have said something like:

"We have so much amazing stuff to tell you at Build that we won't have time to cover price drops on Azure. Effective May 1 ..."
Yea. Backblaze is pretty rad. I work there. We just got polo shirts today!
Baby steps, you have to start somewhere. (You know, the "First they came for the same sex marriage...", and all that).
Can you save others that digging by saying what the real issue was?

You bring up a valid technical point, but it fails to capture the notion of platform. I think we both agree that Android could run desktop class software, hell you can probably x-forward and do it now.

When we see this graph I foam at the mouth, thinking that a Windows x86 computer and cell phone are on the same level. But is that how it being used? Is that how it is being used in 2005, is that how it is being used in 2012?

Ironically the recent spike in x86 Windows tablet sales (now priced at $200) might actually unite these form factors - under MS's terms.

My point is that these lines are rather arbitrary, and are today a poor indicator of computing market share weighted by margins - which was indisputably how MS makes it money. I wonder if they have to replace each-other or do they augment or compete on a different playing field. Although strongly agree that a disproportionate amount of investment in SF is going toward the Android side.

Again: Believing that marriage can only be between a man and a woman, because marriage has a religious connotation to them, is not bigotry.

It's a stupid fucking belief, and it leads to seperate but equal bullshit, but it's not homophobic on its own.
Am I the only one here who thinks that maybe a petition asking Mozilla to pressure Eich to step down may be a better solution to this?

I seems that all the years of contributions and sacrifices by the community to build a great product, fight for a better internet and all that mozilla has stood for could be very rapidly undone if we continue portraying it as a homophobic institution. All of this good, from so many people, undone for the views of one man.

Say we are successful with this, Firefox goes out of the picture. Mozilla is dead. Would that be something to aspire for? I'm creeped out by the state of the internet as it is already, mozilla seems like the last company that truly cares. Who would fight for keeping the internet open then? Google?

Let's direct the criticism to the man for his beliefs, lets let know mozilla that their choice is not cool and we won't accept it. Let's not bring the whole thing down with it please.
I don't think it was ever really about that. Mozilla is a great organization, partly because of Brendan's involvement over the years. Still it's perplexing that he feels so strongly about this. He's being criticized from every corner and bringing lots of negative attention to Mozilla and yet and he's sticking to his guns.

This isn't going to go away. At best he's going to be seen as the guy who doesn't support gay marriage in a world where this sort of view is becoming more and more untenable.
What an incredibly irresponsible post by Yahoo Tech. No disclaimer, and it is written as a how-to!

Am I the only one that thinks that the people at Yahoo Tech should know better than to make de-facto recommendations to their users to install such kind of hacks that are as dangerous to users as they are in violating the TOS of the website target?
The Qur'an is pretty clear about what the punishment for being an atheist or homosexual is.

I'm not saying that Jewish and Christian religious texts don't also contain similar punishments, however, it's quite clear that anyone who believes in all the things the Qur'an says would have to believe that it's acceptable to put atheists and homosexuals to death for no other reason.

Similarly in most judeo-christian religions you see similar opposition to homosexuality being treated on an equal footing to heterosexuality, not to mention the rest of the sexual repression commonly found in those religions.
>people are entitled to their own personal beliefs //

You say that but the rest of the post makes it clear you don't believe that Mr Eich is entitled to his beliefs and that he shouldn't be employed [in this role] only because of those beliefs.

If he's entitled to hold those beliefs then he's entitle to be treated without prejudice for them, otherwise what do you mean by "entitled to"?
14 tips how to survive as a junior developer at the start of your career
Your opinions are subjective. OSx makes my eyes bleed both in its design and its unrelenting use of ridiculous animations. It feels like it was made for toddlers. It takes BSD and bastardizes it enough to make it so some things require the GUI and some require command line and it's not immediately obvious which is which (at least coming from a Linux background). In Linux you know you're going to spend 95% of your time in the command line, and on Windows 95% in GUI.

A nice thing about Linux is if you don't like the GUI, switch it out for another one. Can your mac do that? No, not without wiping OSx and installing Linux.

The OSx GUI is usable for many people, but it's in no way a holy grail of design or productivity.
