MeeGo Harmattan is the Linux-based OS that runs on the Nokia N9 and N950: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N9
It's more popular in Europe than America.
And I know I'm probably dreaming, as most developers skip it in favor of porting to larger platforms, but it seems Mono does have framework bindings for Meego (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mono_(software)#Framework_archi...)
Or if one is using a distribution with rolling-releases, or just one that puts kernel updates into its repositories.

There's a few counterexamples, which is a good thing:

iXSystems does a lot of cool community work via FreeNAS, PC-BSD and FreeBSD.

Github (Ruby), thoughtbot (Ruby), Google (Go, Python), Dropbox (Python), AT&T (C++, Ruby), Zurb (Ruby, Foundation), Twitter (Ruby, Scala), ...

missing a bunch and some platforms too.
The link should be changed to http://rawgit.com/#cdn. New part is at the very bottom about version that can be used in production cdn.rawgit.com, but most comments here seem to miss that part.

As mentioned, these are cribbed from my Git & GitHub Secrets talk: http://zachholman.com/talk/git-github-secrets/

If you're interested in the arcane side of Git and GitHub, you might also be interested in the follow-up talk I've given a few times the last half-year or so, which details a bunch of other new things: http://zachholman.com/talk/more-git-and-github-secrets/

I'm more of a fan of the second talk, myself. My favorite thing I discovered while making the second talk was the "second-order-diff Git trick", which Tom Moertel came up with here: http://blog.moertel.com/posts/2013-02-18-git-second-order-di...
Also part of the reason I grabbed the eject handles on enterprise devops consulting. Although I did manage to fight and win open sourcing changes to net-ldap so that it worked with A-D.
Casually dismissing innumeracy? It's unacceptable
Chrome used NSS on android only because of license or something else... now it uses openssl all around.
Japanese toilet != bidet. The former are as sanitary and hands off as the process can get.
> French pastries are better than in France

I can't say I agree with that… (source: French person living in Japan).
Why not? They're using Linux and it's GPL. Undoubtedly they have made kernel modifications as well.

They're not distributing the code outside of their company, so the source license in this case is entirely irrelevant.

We could make a different argument if they were using AGPL'd code...
1 cubic centimeter of water weighs 1 gram. This looks like 1/10 of cubic centimeter at most. Milligram scale should work - $20 at Amazon, but you'll have to use rather small plate (the more you weigh, the less precise the measurement of difference between two objects).

Double-underscore the last point. TLS WG is the first fail.

Look at how many draft feature proposals there are.

Where are the proposals for deprecations for killing off features?
So you are saying that if toast is toasted longer and would lose most of the water content while still in the toaster, there will be no condensate on the plate?
I think he was assaulted for being a public symbol of everything that is hated in an area.

I'd also get the same thing happen to me if i marched through East London with an EDL t-shirt on.

Basically he was doing something stupid and not socially acceptable in public and got owned. Shit happens. Sorry.

There is a thing called the "grey man principle" which is to move unnoticed and unseen by not drawing attention to yourself. Dress down, blend in, show nothing. This gets you a long way to an easy life in a city.

As for glass, if someone poked it in my face I'd probably use my sharpie to colour the lens in. The same is true if someone stuffed a DSLR in my face or a smartphone. There's being a tech fan and there's being a dick and the line can be crossed pretty quickly.

As for the whole SF situation, welcome to the class divide. If you earn a lot, you're no ones friend id you flash it around.
It would have to be the Affero GPL actually, since they just run it on their servers and don't distribute the software.
Plan9 has a lot of Wirth inspiration. Particularly the Acme text editor. The concept of text as menus is taken straight from Operon. In Acme you can use any text as an action by middle clicking and because Acme exposes it's internals via a synthetic file system you end up with a very powerful application. There are no drop down menus.

Combine with the other synthetic file systems and the combination is incredibly useful. There is an email client, for instance. And my friend fgb added image viewing and now we even have a Web browser.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acme_(text_editor)

I visited that page one day, looked at the screen shot and said "wow, that person uses Acme just like me, even using Opened" and it eventually it dawned on me that it was a screenshot of my screen I had posted elsewhere.
A remarkably American centric article, in which the author appears to see America as the origin of things instead of just a dot on a long line that has always been weaving back an forth between different cultures and countries.

A casual remark betrays this blind American-centrism: "the new American hipster ideal of Brooklyn is clumsily copied everywhere from Paris to Bangkok".

Seriously? Coming from Amsterdam I have a hard time seeing the American hipster culture as anything other than heavily copying Northern-European lifestyles in a way that strongly reminds me of how Japan so often imitates Western cultures. (Also the same pattern, stuff that is added or reshaped in America appears here again, which may confuse the author. But "clumsily copyied", are you f-ing kidding me?)

Interesting article, but the lack of perspective bothers me.
GNU Affero license changes that:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-affero-gpl.html

"It [Affero GPL License] has one added requirement: if you run the program on a server and let other users communicate with it there, your server must also allow them to download the source code corresponding to the program that it's running."
Did anyone notice "GCC 4.9 provides a complete implementation of the Go 1.2.1 release."? Isn't that pretty big.
Here's why it took 2 years for anyone to notice the Heartbleed bug
It always pays to take the worst case scenarios seriously. If you refuse to even consider them, when and if they turn out to be true, you find yourself utterly unprepared.

As to dead wood, as a cofounder and director this is his call too. Leaving the business may well be best for the business, and therefore best for him - so long as equity etc. is retained, although that's a dangerous position if you do not have or have only minority voting rights.

I am a 30 in a 30/30/40 company. I am terminally paranoid I'm due for the squeeze, so I plan for it and work against its possibility, as in my experience even your closest and best will apologetically drive in the knife, if the price is right. Pays to wear armour, in the format of contract law.
The only other country I have been to outside of my own country, is America. And I must say I loved the people and the culture there.

If you look at all the small differences between way of life in America and different parts of the world, you will start appreciating all cultures for what niceties they offer.

Do try it :-)
don't let yourself be moved from the task of firing the CTO

Would that have a chance of ripping the company apart if the CEO was agreeing with the CTO? It seems like there's probably nothing to gain from the corpse of a company, so would it be better to avoid that?
I was speccing out something like this a couple months ago (for TOTP), but never got past the planning stage. This looks awesome!
Couldn't agree more. The only real difference between an engineer and a hobbyist is that one gets paid (sometimes hobbyists get paid too (gittip, etc)). Both need to realize that engineering ethics of what they're involved in. I might need to turn in my hacker badge if I was ever issued one, but I don't support the completely anarchist view point of "screw everyone, it doesn't matter because it's legal" because there is a greater ethical obligation to serve the greater good. It gets real real fast when a pseudo-democracy buys a 0day to a popular open source library to target dissenters and have them shut up.
The problem with that is that your software is a bad citizen in the windows ecosystem. Even a one shot can be pushed out or run via an msi package with no install. And you get the benefit of being able to easy throw it out via GPO, pull dependencies like VCRT versions etc. MSI packages are pretty small as well - our current VSTO package which has about 25,000 LoC in it is only 400k.
One thing I hate with my Mac is the window dressing they do, they show the screen as it was before it's actually usable to give an impression of faster resume than it really has.
Dtrace for linux – kernel driver and userland tools
That happened to mine, too, though not for as long.

I bet they had some host filesystem corruption and they're dealing with it manually.
Thank you Sacha for holding the fort :)

I recommend moving past this blog-fluff and going directly to the Google+ announcement[1].

Quite impressive improvements. Can't wait until this goes live on normal distros.

Why have today's designers stopped dreaming?
Reminds of a kaleidoscope. Since you've based the package on Javascript, it wouldn't be too difficult/time-consuming to add some css3 animation to make it transform as such.

Props on making the Trianglify object so clean.
I've been using WebIRC for a while now, and I have to admit the convenience it offers is well worth the small cost to get it setup (my $35 a year vps wasn't doing much).

It's simple and does what you expect.
It sounds like you're using a distro that does just this, but is too modest to go name-dropping.

May I ask what distro(s) you had in mind?
Openssl bleeds at least for 6 years
I love the idea of this, it's definitely motivational and I'm sure many of us could do with such motivation.

I know it's not Saturday, but... after seeing this thread I've decided to continue work on my Pebble watchface, Purr.

https://github.com/jbrooksuk/Purr

It was covered on TechCrunch back in January which I'm really proud of. http://techcrunch.com/2014/01/31/purr-pebble-smartwatch-app-...

And of course, the screenshot: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jbrooksuk/Purr/master/pebb... (not much to see)
Is Sleep a Biological Compression Algorithm?
I got curious about this as well.

The data presented shows resume times like nothing I have experienced in years. I'm guessing that if you already have a SSD-enabled laptop, the improvements wont be that noticable.

Still: Good to see more and more subsystems moving to parallel/async initialization. Every measure counts, and together I'm certain they do add up.
Jan Gullberg wrote an excellent book:

Mathematics: from the Birth of Numbers.

It's mainly pure math but is a great foundation. I mean really better than anything else I've read.
I've notice this too. The lock screen shows before it can accept key presses so I've had to wait else having it miss the beginning of my passphrase.
A handwritten signature is basically worthless.

I make it a point to sign something mocking the form whenever presented with a signature box to make this very point.
It's good as an interface, I think, because the human also requires some startup time -- if you can see what the screen looks like before it is interactive, you can orient yourself while the machine finishes reactivating.
You should definitely follow the advice of getting a legal counsel and dealing with the issue now as opposed to later.

Also, you should

1. Clear your thoughts around what you want for your company at this point in time, in the near future, and in the long run.

2. Understand what role you envision yourself and your fellow co-founder playing in the above scheme of things.

3. With thoughts around these two areas cleared up, you should sit and talk about this with your co-founder at the earliest.
I would be interested to know if this actually protects against heartbleed in the real world. I can see how it would keep the private key protected, but not sure if it protects intermediate values used during calculation.

Given that it's likely that the private key can be derived from those parts, it would be good to know if this custom allocator is 'enough' (i.e. are the intermediate values stored in memory allocated using the same allocator)?

This week has been full of surprises. Has anyone tested this?
That blog post mentions ATA and SCSI patches, but only a SCSI patch was merged, any idea why?
This is great. Both for beginners to learn, and it looks useful also for bootstrapping toy projects, and creating integration test suites for non-standalone django libraries.
I used to read a lot more fiction before I got into computer science. I still have a fairly large library of fantasy novels and other fiction. I would like to get back into reading that sort of thing, but it seems like I never have the massive amount of time it takes to get into stuff like that now that I spend a lot of time reading technical literature as well. Any ideas?

Edit: I also find a lot of technical/programmer/etc... types don't really know much about film, which is really an amazing art form if you look beyond the typical hollywood stuff (e.g. Kurosawa, Herzog, Tarkovsky, etc...)
Tribute to Slava Pestov by Manfred Von Thun(2011)
I say "well played." If this is the case, it seems perfectly fair and their own fault for not stacking the odds in their favor as is done the other 99.9999% of the time. Fair's fair and it was their own equipment that screwed up, so I don't see how this could be cheating, it sounds more like sour grapes from sore losers.
Thanks for the encouraging words ;) Still not up, 5+hrs outage so far...
EDIT: it was up, but the network interface was messed up for some reason. Rebooted again and its ok now.
Nice Idea..
Not yet, but I've made sure that it runs under Wine (albeit with a few quirks mostly related to transparent images). A native version will be coming later.
Cyber-crime Threat Explained
You are right! I read it (probably on HN) and assumed it was true. Now I see these are rumours. Many apologies.
The focus on material things highlights the problem. They have copied everything, but failed to capture the spirit by not acting like their idols. I would like to see the Japanese people act, rebel, and change the world.

All I see is escapism, ironically similar to the escapism Westerner's find in Japanese culture.
And here HN shows it's true colors. It's all about competence and meritocracy until it affects a founder.

I've seen companies being run into the ground because founders remained in positions they weren't competent for. My guess is the CTO has seen the same, and he has no intention of taking the fall for that.

No, he hasn't overstepped his boundaries, if this kind of situation continuous he may as well hand in his own resignation. He's doing what he's been hired to do.
Count me out against most Americans. How on earth is cleaning your butt with water gross, but smearing shit all over it with paper sanitary?

Content Marketing and the Customer
I had this hauled in a few months ago https://twitter.com/luyben/status/416255790002225152/photo/1 it's with some stretch the best purchase I ever did. If you have the space for it, I would recommend ordering one today.

I am a huge pizza fan (I can and some times do eat it every day) and have been screwing around with pizza stones, oven hacks, different flower etc to make that 'restaurant pizza'; it's the temperature. With this thing everything comes out like it was created by the gods; it does not really matter what you put in; it just starts bubbling 2 seconds in and is fully cooked under 2 minutes. You will burn your entire mouth to stuff it in as quickly as you can while baking the next one and you will bake and eat way too many the first few goes leaving you ill and hating pizza (for about 1 hour). And when the fire dies down, you put in bread dough for the most wonderful bread. Life is good for such a small price. If you are handy and have a lot of time (I am handy ; no time) you can build it yourself. Don't make it too big; when it's the right temp, you can make 1 pizza per 2 minutes which is enough for most settings. If you have one which fits 2+ pizza's, you'll be tossing in crazy amounts of wood to get it started.
Aside from the legal aspect, there are two others I think are important.

1) As a founder, you need to do what's best for the company. Whatever that is.

2) You're one of the owners. If you didn't have all the skills required for every aspect, at least you showed up and it got done. You can hire in whatever skills you need, including bringing in a CTO who knows more than you did. Maybe you aren't the right person to run the technical side, etc, but don't be muscled out just because someone is better than you are. Frankly you and the CEO need to stick together - if it's that easy to separate you what stops him from being thrown to the curb when there's a better business guy?
I couldn't agree more. For a "creative" profession, there is a startling lack of creativity among designers. I'll admit that I am not a designer by any means, so maybe I just don't fully understand the challenges and issues that designers have to deal with. However, I do get annoyed when I show up on a site and it looks and behaves just like every other site, with the same fonts, same colors, and text that doesn't tell you anything about the product. It really does get old.
I Had a yahoo account I haven't touched in YEARS hacked a couple of months ago. Very suspicious.
I seem to get kernel updates using Debian Unstable (I don't pay much attention; but my current kernel is 3.13 and I installed my current OS years ago) and I think Arch does too. I'm sure there's others.
the problem is that most or almost every professional programmer goes by the slogan "You shouldn't implement cryptography by yourself, but instead rely on the existing well tested libraries". This is hinders competition in the crypto space. You definitely cannot say that the programmers of openSSL are not professionals, because you know that the majority was relying on their library so it is definitely the best library out there. There is just no better alternative. if you want to have alternatives then you have to encourage amateur crypto programmers to implement competing products. But the whole programming community is doing the opposite by bashing people who start implementing their own crypto. For example If I remember the debate about Telegram where a highly talented team starts their own library the response from programmers is that they shouldn't do this and instead use crappy old libraries which do not even fulfill their requirements.
What you say is true. The argument is still useful though. There are those that follow one at the expense of the other. This is no more useful than saying the only way to develop software is agile.
"The lawsuit claims that Ivey and his companion instructed a dealer to flip cards in particular ways, depending on whether it was a desirable card in baccarat."

If that's true, it sounds like a really obvious way to cheat. Maybe he didn't realize there was actually a specific regulation against it and figured the worst they could do was kick him out. Otherwise it seems like he'd be a bit more circumspect.
Hate? I like this feature for 2 reasons: the clock shows the time at which the computer suspended (gives me an indication of how many hours I've been asleep on the keyboard :)) and if I was reading something, I can keep reading it while the OS loads.
He's not the only one who has to consider whether or not the company becomes a corpse in this situation though. Sounds like he's one of two founders, likely with some investors on board. All of these people (without the CTO who I'm guessing has no board seat and needs to shut up and learn his place) are tasked with ensuring the company has a future. Given that, the various parties are all equally responsible if they use this situation to tank the company.

Tech Interview: Titanfall on Xbox 360
You are a scumbag, but the math is right. You would need to discover 10 of these a year to make a living wage in SF - maybe 50 if you are a team of 5. They should pay what they pay their engineers.
Proprietary code is subject to a market value, companies can actually invest in a codebase to improve it and add features, whereas open source is subject to common interests or volunteering. I agree that open source can increase quality thanks to the "community", but unless there is a community, nothing gets done. "there is no such thing as a free meal".

If you don't have the source code, it's actually a little harder to find a vulnerability since all you have is a big blob of binary assembly. Hackers can still find vulnerabilities with enough time on their hand, but it's still much discouraging.
> So how about a third option: They are just trying to cut out dead weight from the company.

"They?" -> is the non-founder _employee_, with much less stake in company's future than the said founder.

"Dead weight?" -> is the founder who put his life savings in the venture, and is obviously desirable till the next round of funding.

A more reasonable "don't-conflict-ignorance-with-malice" would be that CTO has technical acumen but not business, and is judging the OP harshly on the technical merit.
Assuming Subway also supports concurrent web sessions from multiple devices, it comes down to the design. I'm going for more of a classic/low-level mIRC feel with a focus on simplicity/minimalism while pleasing the IRC power users. Larger/easier to read text while being able to fit more of it is nice, imo. Not sure why they opted for the opposite.
I guess you can but for some reason very few people do. Look at e.g. number of times browsers have security problems. Are those teams made out of idiots or is it genuinely hard?
I hear from friends who are not Japanese / Asian who work there a lot that Japanese are generally quite xenophobe; is that true generally or in certain regions or?

I would talk to services like the below to partner with them as an extra feature for their customers to improve their apps and sites UX and targeting.

* https://www.optimizely.com/

I would also try partnering with specialized cloud hosting solutions like
* https://www.heroku.com/
* http://www.acquia.com/
* https://www.getpantheon.com/

Unless you are seeing keen interest from people willing to pay for this directly in its current form, where I would research and learn how website or app optimization platforms market themselves.
